[0032] Example 1

[0033] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the tire transport bracket provided in this application includes a support base 101, a positioning mechanism, and at least one limiting mechanism 102; the limiting mechanism 102 is installed on the support base 101 and forms a limiting profile to limit the tire 103 fitted on the limiting mechanism 102; the positioning mechanism is connected to the support base 101 and is used to connect the positioning structure of the conveyor line.

[0034] Specifically, the tire transport bracket of this application can be used to carry the tire 103 of an electric two-wheeled vehicle, and the tire transport bracket can cooperate with a conveyor line to transport the tire 103 to the subsequent automatic pressing and inflation process of the motor and tire 103. The conveyor line can be an automated roller conveyor line, in which the tire transport bracket is driven forward by the rolling of the rollers. The tire transport bracket includes a support base 101, a limiting mechanism 102, and a positioning mechanism. The support base 101 is used to support the flat-lying tire 103, and the support base 101 can be placed on the conveyor line so that the conveyor line transports the support base 101 carrying the tire 103 to multiple subsequent processing steps. When the support base 101 transports the tire 103 to any processing step, the positioning structure provided by the conveyor line can be connected to the positioning mechanism provided on the support base 101 to stop the support base 101 from moving forward and position it at that processing step.

[0035] Furthermore, during the transport of the support base 101 on the conveyor line, to prevent the tire 103 from slipping off the support base 101, at least one limiting mechanism 102 is installed on the support base 101 to fix the position of the tire 103; one limiting mechanism 102 can form one station for fixing the tire 103, and multiple stations can greatly increase the number of fixed tires 103 and improve transport efficiency. Preferably, when there are multiple limiting mechanisms 102, the multiple limiting mechanisms 102 are spaced apart along the length direction of the support base 101.

[0036] Specifically, for the annular tire 103, the limiting mechanism 102 can be disposed on the inner ring of the tire 103 to limit the tire 103. In practical applications, when transporting the tire 103, the tire 103 can be fitted onto the limiting mechanism 102, the support seat 101 can support the tire 103 from the bottom, and the limiting mechanism 102 can limit the tire 103 from the inner ring wall. Specifically, the limiting mechanism 102 uses a multi-point support method to fix the inner ring of the tire 103, and the multiple support points form a circular limiting contour, thereby limiting the tire 103 to be located on the support seat 101, thus achieving stable transportation of the tire 103.

[0037] The tire transport bracket provided in this application improves the efficiency of transporting the tire 103 by providing a support base 101 that can cooperate with the conveyor line to support the tire 103. In addition, the limiting mechanism 102 installed on the support base 101 can limit the flat tire 103, which can prevent the tire 103 from slipping off the support base 101 and achieve stable transport of the tire 103.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the limiting mechanism 102 includes multiple limiting posts 104; the multiple limiting posts 104 are connected to the support base 101, and the multiple limiting posts 104 are spaced apart on a preset circumference to form a limiting profile that is adapted to the inner ring of the tire 103.

[0039] In this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the limiting mechanism 102 includes four limiting posts 104. The four limiting posts 104 are spaced apart on the same preset circumference, and the preset circumference is adapted to the inner circumference of the tire 103. The four limiting posts 104 form four limiting points for positioning the tire 103 so that the tire 103 will not move during transportation.

[0040] It should be noted that the number of limiting posts 104 provided in this application is not limited to the four shown in the figure. The number of limiting posts 104 can also be two, three, five or other numbers. Regardless of the number of limiting posts 104, all limiting posts 104 must be located on a preset circumference. In the case of a scheme with two limiting posts 104, the two limiting posts 104 are located at both ends of the diameter of the preset circumference.

[0041] In addition, the height of the limiting post 104 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the tire 103. The height of the limiting post 104 can be set as a multiple of the thickness of the tire 103. The specific height of the limiting post 104 can be set according to the number of tires 103 stacked, so that multiple tires 103 can be fixed at one workstation, thereby improving transportation efficiency.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the limiting mechanism 102 further includes a fixing plate 105; the fixing plate 105 is mounted on the support base 101; and multiple limiting posts 104 are movably mounted on the fixing plate 105 to form limiting profiles of different sizes.

[0043] In this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the support base 101 is a rectangular frame, and a reinforcing beam 106 extending along the length of the support base 101 is also provided within the rectangular frame to increase the strength and stability of the support base 101. The support base 101 can be placed on a conveyor line and can be frictionally transmitted on the roller conveyor line. Because the frame structure of the support base 101 has a hollow area, the tire 103 is prone to tilting when it is located in the hollow area, resulting in poor support for the tire 103; and the limiting post 104 can only be installed on the frame, thus limiting the size of the limiting contour formed by the limiting post 104, resulting in reduced applicability of the device.

[0044] To address this, a fixing plate 105 is installed on the support base 101. The fixing plate 105 fills the hollow area of ​​the support base 101, making the tire 103 more stable when placed on the fixing plate 105. Furthermore, a limiting mechanism 102 is installed on the fixing plate 105, providing more installation area for the limiting posts 104. Multiple limiting posts 104 are movably installed on the fixing plate 105, allowing the position of the limiting posts 104 to be adjusted according to the size of the tire 103, so that the multiple limiting posts 104 form limiting contours of different sizes, thereby positioning tires 103 of different sizes.

[0045] Figure 3 The two limiting mechanisms 102 shown in the figure position the front wheel tire 107 and the rear wheel tire 108 respectively. The front wheel tire 107 is larger in size, so multiple limiting posts 104 are installed on a preset circumference with a larger outer ring size. Figure 3 (shown by the dashed line); the rear tire 108 is relatively small, so multiple limiting posts 104 are installed on a preset circumference with a smaller inner ring size (shown by the dashed line). Figure 3 (Midpoint shown by dashed line). The two preset circumferences are concentric circles, and the center of the circles is located on the central axis of the support 101, which can ensure that the center of the tire 103 is always located on the central axis of the support 101, and avoid the tire 103 from shifting and colliding with the conveyor line.

[0046] Specifically, in order to install the limiting post 104 onto the fixing plate 105, this application provides multiple fixing hole groups 115 on the fixing plate 105. Each fixing hole group 115 includes multiple fixing holes 109, and the multiple fixing holes 109 of different fixing hole groups 115 surround to form a preset circumference of different sizes. The figure shows two fixing hole groups 115. Four fixing holes 109 located on the outer preset circumference form one fixing hole group 115, and four fixing holes 109 located on the outer preset circumference form another fixing hole group 115. The four limiting posts 104 can be correspondingly installed in the multiple fixing holes 109 of different fixing hole groups 115 to surround and form limiting contours of different sizes, thereby positioning different sizes.

[0047] Optionally, the two fixing hole groups 115 may share a portion of the fixing holes 109. In this way, the two preset circumferences where the two fixing hole groups 115 are located are not concentric circles. However, it is necessary to ensure that the limiting profile formed by the multiple limiting posts 104 is smaller so that the tire 103 does not extend too far beyond the support seat 101 and collide with the conveyor line.

[0048] More specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting post 104 includes a column 110 and a fastening support 111. The column 110 passes through the fixing hole 109 from the top surface of the fixing plate 105. The fastening support 111 is located on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 105 and is detachably connected to the column 110, so that the limiting post 104 can be quickly disassembled and repositioned.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] The tire transport bracket in this second embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiments. The technical content disclosed in the above embodiments will not be described again, and the content disclosed in the above embodiments also belongs to the content disclosed in this second embodiment.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes multiple positioning elements 112, which are connected to the side of the support base 101, and the positioning elements 112 are provided with positioning grooves to connect to the positioning structure.

[0052] In this embodiment, specifically, Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shows two positioning elements 112 adapted to positioning elements on the transport line. Positioning element 112 is an L-shaped plate. The vertical plate of positioning element 112 is connected to the support base 101, and the horizontal plate of positioning element 112 extends outward and is provided with a U-shaped positioning groove. When the support base 101 is transported to the next processing station, the positioning structure on the transport line can insert into the positioning groove to position the support base 101, allowing the support base 101 to stop at that processing station for the corresponding processing steps on the tire 103. After processing, the positioning structure on the transport line can disengage from the positioning groove, allowing the support base 101 to continue its rotation.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the positioning mechanism includes a plurality of rolling elements 113; the plurality of rolling elements 113 are rotatably mounted on the side of the support base 101, and the plurality of rolling elements 113 can roll relative to the conveyor line to guide the support base 101.

[0054] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism specifically includes six rolling elements 113, with three rolling elements 113 disposed on each side of the support base 101 in the width direction. On one side of the support base 101, the three rolling elements 113 are respectively positioned at the front, middle, and rear of the support base 101. When the support base 101 moves on the conveyor line, the rolling elements 113 can roll along the side wall of the conveyor line to guide the movement of the support base 101, and the resulting friction is smaller, making the transport of the support base 101 smoother.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the tire transport bracket further includes an anti-collision mechanism; the anti-collision mechanism includes multiple anti-collision components 114, and the forward and / or backward ends of the support base 101 are equipped with anti-collision components 114.

[0056] In this embodiment, specifically, the length direction of the support 101 is the transportation direction, and the anti-collision members 114 are disposed at both ends of the length direction of the support 101. The anti-collision mechanism includes four anti-collision members 114. Two anti-collision members 114 are respectively disposed at the forward end and the backward end of the support 101, and the two anti-collision members 114 located at the same end are spaced apart along the width direction of the support 101, thereby isolating the support 101 from other components by a distance to avoid collision between the support 101 and other components during transportation, which would cause damage to the tire 103.
