[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, a tire processing and transfer device proposed in one embodiment of the present invention includes a transfer trolley 1, the top of the transfer trolley 1 is provided with a drive device 2 and a limiting structure 4, and the movable end of the drive device 2 is provided with a clamping device 3.

[0032] The clamping device 3 includes a connecting vertical rod 301, a fixing collar 302 fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting vertical rod 301, a hinge rod 303 rotatably connected to the outer side of the fixing collar 302, a base plate 304 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting vertical rod 301, a movable collar 307 slidably connected to the surface of the connecting vertical rod 301, a connecting rod 308 hinged to the outer side of the movable collar 307, and the other end of the connecting rod 308 rotatably connected to the surface of the hinge rod 303.

[0033] The hinge rod 303 and the fixed collar 302 are connected to each other through a damping shaft, which allows the hinge rod 303 and the fixed collar 302 to remain in their current positions, increasing the stability of the clamping device 3 during use.

[0034] A movable rod 309 is hinged to the outer side of the movable collar 307. A gripping claw 310 is hinged between the end of the movable rod 309 away from the movable collar 307 and the base 304. A contact arc plate 311 is hinged to the end of the gripping claw 310 away from the base 304.

[0035] Furthermore, the gripper 310 has a sliding opening inside, and the end of the movable rod 309 away from the movable collar 307 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding opening, so that the movable rod 309 and the gripper 310 form a sliding contact, thereby avoiding the situation where the gripper 310 gets stuck during the movement of the movable rod 309, thus eliminating the situation where there is motion interference between the movable rod 309 and the gripper 310.

[0036] When it is necessary to clamp the tire, the operator can pull the hinge rod 303. During the movement of the hinge rod 303, it will drive the connecting rod 308 to move. The other end of the connecting rod 308 will push the movable collar 307 to slide along the surface of the connecting vertical rod 301. During the sliding process, the movable collar 307 will drive the clamping claws 310 to move through the movable rod 309, so that the four clamping claws 310 gradually approach the tire. At the same time, the contact arc plate 311 will contact the surface of the tire, thereby realizing the clamping of the tire.

[0037] When it is necessary to unload the tire, the operator can pull the articulated rod 303 in the opposite direction, so that the four gripping claws 310 gradually move away from the tire, and then the tire is lowered.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving device 2 includes an electric slide rail 201, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the transfer trolley 1. An electric slider 202 is provided at the movable end of the electric slide rail 201. A rotating rod 203 is hinged to the front side of the electric slider 202. The rotating rod 203 has a through-hole inside. The connecting vertical rod 301 is located inside the through-hole and is fixedly connected to the inside of the through-hole.

[0039] The electric slide rail 201, via the electric slider 202, drives the rotating rod 203 for height adjustment. During movement, the rotating rod 203, connected to the vertical rod 301, causes the entire clamping device 3 to shift vertically, facilitating the smooth movement of the clamped tire into the limiting structure 4. This achieves automated tire handling and improves transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the electric slide rail 201 and electric slider 202 allow operators to transfer tires simply by controlling the switch of the electric slide rail 201, eliminating the need for manual handling and significantly reducing labor costs.

[0040] The electric slide rail 201 and electric slider 202 have been described in detail in patent publication number CN219372717U, a spot welding device for PCBA processing. Therefore, the electric slide rail 201 and electric slider 202 are conventional means under the prior art.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide back plate 305 is installed on the outer side of the fixing collar 302, and a guide opening is provided inside the guide back plate 305. The hinge rod 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide opening.

[0042] The guide back plate 305 is an arc-shaped plate, and a guide opening is provided inside the guide back plate 305. The guide opening is an arc-shaped opening, and the hinge rod 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide opening. The guide back plate 305 guides and limits the hinge rod 303, so that the hinge rod 303 can move stably.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the top end of the connecting vertical rod 301 is hinged to a limiting pin 306, which is a U-shaped lock.

[0044] The limiting pin 306 can lock the hinge rod 303 in the vertical state, thereby improving the stability of the clamping device 3, preventing the clamping claw 310 from shaking during the opening process, preventing the clamping claw 310 from hitting the staff, and further improving the safety of tire transportation.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, an anti-slip pad is provided on the inner side of the contact arc plate 311, and the anti-slip pad is a soft silicone grease pad.

[0046] The anti-slip mat increases the friction between the contact arc plate 311 and the tire, preventing the tire from slipping. The anti-slip mat is a soft silicone grease mat, which increases the flexibility between the contact arc plate 311 and the tire, preventing the tire from being damaged.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting structure 4 includes a limiting sleeve 401, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the transfer trolley 1, and a placement seat 402 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the limiting sleeve 401, the placement seat 402 being located at the connection between the limiting sleeve 401 and the top end of the transfer trolley 1.

[0048] The placement seat 402 is an arc-shaped seat that supports the tire and prevents the tire from directly contacting the bottom end of the limiting sleeve 401, thereby increasing the stability of the tire placement.

[0049] In use, the operator can first control the gripping device 3 to adjust the height through the drive device 2, so that the gripping claw 310 can approach the tire placed horizontally on the ground.

[0050] Subsequently, the operator pulls the hinge rod 303, which moves stably under the guidance of the guide back plate 305, causing the hinge rod 303 to gradually approach a vertical state, and through the linkage rod 308, it drives the movable collar 307 to slide upward on the surface of the connecting vertical rod 301.

[0051] The movement of the movable collar 307 further drives the gripper 310 to open via the movable rod 309, so that the tire can be placed between the gripper 310.

[0052] After the tire is placed, the operator rotates the hinge rod 303 again, causing the hinge rod 303 to gradually approach a horizontal state, causing the four gripping claws 310 to gradually close, ensuring that the gripping claws 310 can stably hold the tire.

[0053] Next, the operator manipulates the drive device 2 again, and through the cooperation of the electric slide rail 201 and the electric slider 202, drives the clamping device 3 and the tire to rise together. Then, the rotating rod 203 is rotated until the tire is smoothly moved above the limiting sleeve 401 of the limiting structure 4.

[0054] At this point, the operator can rotate the hinge rod 303 again to open the gripper 310 and place the tire in the limiting sleeve 401. The tire will then fall along the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 401 until it contacts the placement seat 402, thus completing the tire transfer process.

[0055] In summary, through the drive device 2, clamping device 3, and limiting structure 4, the operator can conveniently control the clamping mechanism using the drive device 2 to achieve a smooth transfer of the tire from the ground to the inside of the limiting structure 4, and a safe transport from the limiting structure 4 to the ground. This process allows the operator to efficiently complete the tire transfer task by simply operating the drive device 2 and the clamping mechanism, without having to directly participate in heavy manual handling activities. This solution not only reduces the reliance on human resources, but also significantly improves the efficiency of tire transfer, effectively reduces labor costs, and improves overall work efficiency.

[0056] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the electric slide rail 201 and electric slider 202 in the tire processing and transfer device need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0057] Furthermore, the power supply and operating principle of the electric slide rail 201 and electric slider 202 in the tire processing and transfer device are clear to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Furthermore, the working principle and wiring method of the electric slide rail 201 and electric slider 202 in the tire processing and transfer device are commonplace and belong to conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
