Although the clamping mechanism can be adjusted within a certain range, its control range is limited, and it is only suitable for the assembly of commonly used standard tires and batch tires.

[0004] Existing technologies are mostly customized for automobile assembly lines, using intelligent robotic arms equipped with tire clamping mechanisms to perform tire clamping, transfer, and assembly. However, their movement distance is limited, and they can only perform tire assembly at specific locations on the line.

[0005] Existing automotive tire clamping and assembly technologies are mostly fixed to automotive assembly lines. They exist only for the assembly of automotive tires and cannot be moved when not in use. The fixed area cannot be reused, resulting in waste of area costs. Although existing automotive tire clamping and assembly technologies can perform the clamping, transfer, and assembly of tires within their range, they do not have tire storage functions.
