Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of truck spare tire lifters, specifically a truck spare tire lifter. Background Technology
[0002] Based on load capacity, trucks can be classified into light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks. Truck tires, as a crucial component, are often used under complex and harsh conditions, requiring them to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure vehicle performance. A spare tire is a replacement tire prepared in case a normally used tire malfunctions during driving, preventing the vehicle from moving. Its purpose is to ensure the vehicle can reach the nearest repair shop. Typically, the rim diameter of a medium-duty truck spare tire is 18-24 inches, and its weight exceeds 50 kg. When a tire failure occurs during truck driving, manually moving the spare tire is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and existing systems have some shortcomings.
[0003] For example, the truck spare tire lifter with announcement number CN219821603U includes a main frame, a reducer, connectors, and transmission components. The reducer is connected to the outside of the main frame, and its input shaft is located on the side away from the main frame. A hexagonal nut compatible with an electric wrench is fixedly installed on the input shaft. The reducer drives the transmission components to rotate through the connectors, thereby raising and lowering the spare tire tray under the chain. Although this device can be used effectively to raise and lower truck spare tires, it is usually only suitable for spare tires of the same size. Furthermore, the existing lifting mechanism uses a chain, which is prone to jamming. Because it is inconvenient to use spare tires of different sizes, we have proposed a truck spare tire lifter to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support ropes are symmetrically arranged about the center of the rotating rod, and each support rope is connected to a fixing ring by a buckle at its bottom.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the buckle is fixedly connected to the spring, the front end of the spring is fixedly connected to the buckle block, and the tail end of the buckle block is hinged to the buckle.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting mechanism includes a spare tire support plate, a rotating shaft, a gear, a rack, a connecting plate, a support rod, and a moving plate. The spare tire support plate is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the gear. The gear meshes with the rack. The rack is slidably connected to the spare tire support plate, and the rack is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The connecting plate is also slidably connected to the spare tire support plate. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the support rod, and the front end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the moving plate.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the racks are arranged symmetrically about the center of the gear, and the racks mesh with both sides of the gear, and each rack is connected to a connecting plate.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the support rope is made of high-strength metal material, the connecting bolts are symmetrically arranged about the center of the moving plate, and each connecting bolt is connected with a nut.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The truck spare tire lifter is equipped with a lifting mechanism. When in use, the rotating shaft above the spare tire tray is rotated according to the size of the spare tire, so that the rotating shaft drives the gear to rotate. Since the gear and rack mesh, the rack slides inside the spare tire tray, causing the rack to drive the connecting plate to slide inside the spare tire tray. The connecting plate then drives the support rod to slide inside the spare tire tray, causing the moving plates on both sides to adjust their positions. After the connecting bolts above the moving plates are passed through the connecting holes above the spare tire, the nuts are tightened to connect the nuts to the spare tire. Then, the buckles at the front ends of the support ropes on both sides are connected to the fixing rings above both ends of the spare tire tray. The motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, causing the rotating rod to retract the support ropes above both ends, thus raising the spare tire tray and the spare tire below.
