Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tire inspection technology, and in particular relates to a tire inspection frame. Background Technology

[0002] Tires are annular, elastic rubber products that are mounted on various vehicles or machinery and roll on the ground. They are typically mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, ensuring contact with the road surface, and guaranteeing vehicle performance. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and extreme temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction, and cushioning performance. Simultaneously, they are required to have high wear resistance and flexural strength, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation.

[0003] With the development of modern technology, existing tire inspection racks can detect tire surface wear by scanning, which greatly saves manpower. However, common tire inspection racks still require manual handling to move them to the inspection device for inspection, and they need to be moved again after inspection. This process of repeated handling still needs further optimization. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a tire inspection frame that can effectively solve the problems of the existing technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a tire inspection frame, comprising: a base, a movable bracket mounted on the base, a support seat mounted on the movable bracket, a screw sleeve mounted at the bottom of the movable bracket, and a cylinder mounted on the support seat.

[0007] It also includes: a groove is provided on the base, a lead screw is installed in the groove, and a screw sleeve is installed on the lead screw in the groove of the base, allowing the screw sleeve to move along the direction of the lead screw inside the groove;

[0008] The movable bracket has a round hole on its top, and the fixed bracket has screw holes on both sides to match it. The scanner is fixed by positioning bolts and installed in the middle part of the fixed bracket.

[0009] The motor is mounted on a platform away from the lead screw, and a protective cover is mounted above the motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable bracket has a waist hole on the side away from the support base, and a positioning mechanism is installed in the waist hole. The bottom of the positioning mechanism has a thread, and the support base has a screw hole on the side near the movable bracket that cooperates with the positioning mechanism. The support base is installed on the movable bracket through the threaded connection between the positioning mechanism and the support base.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the support base is provided with a screw hole, and the cylinder is provided with a screw hole that matches it. The support base and the cylinder are connected by positioning bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, a piston rod is installed inside the cylinder, and the inner wall of the piston rod is threaded. A slot is provided on one side of the fixture, and a positioning bolt is located in the slot of the fixture and connected to the piston rod on the cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamp has two sets of grooves on the side away from the cylinder, and the roller is located in the groove of the clamp. The roller is installed in the groove by positioning bolts.

[0014] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixed on the side of the lead screw near the motor, and the rotating shaft on the lead screw is connected to the drive end of the motor via a coupling.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention utilizes a lead screw with a groove in the base, connected to a motor for transmission. When the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the threaded sleeve mounted on the lead screw moves along the groove in the base, thus achieving a conveying function. This effectively reduces the cost of manual handling, saving both time and labor. A slot on one side of the movable support allows adjustment of the support height according to the tire size. A cylinder mounted on the support pushes a clamp connected to one side. By using two identical and symmetrical movable supports, support bases, cylinders, and clamps, the two sets of cylinders simultaneously drive the clamp to hold the tire. This clamping action moves the tire along with the threaded sleeve on the lead screw. The rollers mounted on the clamp rotate, causing the tire surface to contact the rollers during clamping, thus rolling the tire. A scanner mounted on the movable support scans the tire surface while it rolls, and an external computer analyzes the tire wear, thus achieving detection. This eliminates the need for traditional detection devices to place the tire in a fixed position before inspection, further saving time and labor. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a tire inspection frame, including: a base 1, a movable bracket 2 mounted on the base 1, a support seat 3 mounted on the movable bracket 2, a screw sleeve 7 mounted at the bottom of the movable bracket 2, and a cylinder 4 mounted on the support seat 3; it also includes: two sets of grooves with identical internal structures opened on the base 1, in which a lead screw 10 is installed, the side of the lead screw 10 closer to the motor 13 is the fixed end, and the side of the lead screw 10 away from the motor 13 is the support end, and bearing seats are installed on both sides of the grooves opened on the base 1 to support the rotation of the lead screw 10; a rotating shaft is fixed on the fixed end of the lead screw 10, and the rotating shaft part of the lead screw 10 passes through the bearing seat and is connected to the motor 13 through a coupling 14; the same mechanism is installed in the other set of grooves opened on the base 1. The threaded sleeve 7 is installed inside the groove on the base 1. Through the threaded hole on the threaded sleeve 7, it engages with the thread on the lead screw 10, converting rotational motion into linear motion. This allows the threaded sleeve 7 to move linearly along the direction of the lead screw 10. Furthermore, the threaded sleeve 7 contains ball bearings to reduce friction during threaded contact between the threaded sleeve 7 and the lead screw 10, resulting in greater precision and a longer service life. A protective plate is also fixed above the groove on the base 1 to prevent foreign objects from falling in. A protective cover 12 is installed on the motor 13, serving the same function as the protective plate.

[0026] The movable bracket 2 is fixed on the screw sleeve 7. The movable bracket 2 has a waist-shaped hole in the middle on the side away from the support base 3 and a round hole at the top. The fixed bracket 8 has screw holes of the same size as the round hole at the top of the movable bracket 2 on both sides. The positioning bolt passes through the round hole on the movable bracket 2 and is threaded to the fixed bracket 8. The fixed bracket 8 is installed on the top by two sets of movable brackets 2 with the same structure. The scanner 9 is also installed on the middle part of the fixed bracket 8 for scanning the tire surface. A positioning mechanism 11 is installed inside the oblong hole on the movable support 2. The side of the positioning mechanism 11 away from the movable support 2 is designed to fit into the oblong hole. The other side of the positioning mechanism 11 is a screw that mates with the threaded hole on the support base 3. The support base 3 is installed on the movable support 2 through the threaded connection. The support base 3 has an L-shaped structure. The bottom of the support base 3 has a threaded hole that mates with the cylinder 4. It is also connected and fixed by positioning bolts. The cylinder 4 has a piston rod inside. The inner wall of the piston rod has threads. The clamp 5 has a slot on the side near the cylinder 4. The clamp 5 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 4 by positioning bolts. The clamp 5 has two sets of grooves. The roller 6 is also installed in the groove of the clamp 5 by positioning bolts. The size of the groove allows the roller 6 to rotate inside it.

[0027] During testing, the tire is rolled onto the base 1, with the sleeving 7 positioned at the support end of the lead screw 10. When the tire reaches the designated position, the cylinder 4 pushes the clamp 5 to clamp and limit the tire from both the inside and outside. The motor 13 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, causing the sleeving 7 to move from the support end to the fixed end of the lead screw 10. Due to the rolling characteristic of the roller 6, the tire rolls as it contacts the roller 6. While the tire rolls, the scanner 9 scans its surface. When the sleeving 7 moves to the fixed end of the lead screw 10, the scanning of the tire surface is completed. At the same time, the cylinder 4 retracts the clamp 5. Based on the ramps on both sides of the base 1, the tire can be removed from the device more easily, saving the need for manual handling and making it more efficient and labor-saving. When testing tires of different sizes, the position of the positioning mechanism 11 on the waist hole can be adjusted according to the tire size, thereby improving applicability.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
