Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile repair technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable clamp for tire removal and installation. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle tires are considered wear parts in vehicle repair and often require maintenance and upkeep. Since vehicle tires are generally heavy, it is quite laborious to remove and install them manually, requiring manual assistance to loosen the nuts, which affects the efficiency of tire removal and installation.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN220163575U, entitled "A Tire Mounting and Dismounting Robot for Automobile Repair," discloses a tire mounting and dismounting robot for automobile repair. This robot includes a base, an industrial robot, a robotic arm, a motor I, a fixed sleeve, a limiting sleeve I, an electric telescopic rod I, a movable sleeve, a motor II, an electric telescopic rod II, a nut sleeve, a rotating shaft, a splined shaft, a motor IV, gears, a connecting rod, a support rod, and a slide. The industrial robot is mounted on the base, and a robotic arm is mounted at its end. One end of the robotic arm has a fixed sleeve, and the other end is fixedly mounted with a connecting motor I. A rotating shaft is movably mounted within the robotic arm and the fixed sleeve. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of motor I, and the other end is movably mounted with a splined shaft, the other end of which is connected to the movable sleeve. This technical solution, by setting an adjustable support rod for overall tire clamping and by setting a movable collection box on the outside of the nut sleeve for collecting and automatically feeding the tightened nuts, can effectively improve tire mounting and dismounting efficiency. However, it still has the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) When clamping the tire, the support rod spacing needs to be manually adjusted, which reduces efficiency. At the same time, the nut sleeve cannot accurately control the displacement of the collection box when feeding, which can easily cause the nut to jam or fall off. When disassembling and assembling tires of special size, there is a lack of adaptive adjustment capability, requiring repeated machine stops for manual intervention, which reduces the continuous operation capability.

[0005] (2) It cannot open and close synchronously. When clamping tires of different sizes, it is necessary to adjust them one by one. Uneven clamping force distribution can easily cause tire eccentricity. During disassembly and assembly, it is easy to scratch the wheel hub and increase the working cost.

[0006] Therefore, an adjustable clamp for tire mounting and dismounting is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the current problem of a lack of adaptive adjustment.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] 1. The present invention is as follows: an adjustable clamp for tire mounting and dismounting, comprising a base plate, a support frame slidably mounted on the upper part of the base plate, a slider slidably mounted on the middle position of the support frame, a rotating assembly rotatably mounted on the middle position of the slider, and a clamping assembly for fixing the tire mounted on the front part of the rotating assembly;

[0010] The rotating assembly includes a first motor located at the middle of the rear of the slider. A sleeve is fitted to the output end of the first motor. The sleeve passes through the middle of the slider. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted at the middle of the inner side of the sleeve. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a rotating seat. A first electric push rod is connected to the right side of the rotating seat.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the clamping assembly includes a nut fixedly installed at the front of the rotating seat, a bidirectional screw rotatably installed in the middle of the nut, both ends of the bidirectional screw penetrating the housing, a rectangular block installed at the front of the housing, and limit grooves formed on the left and right side walls of the inner side of the rectangular block. A square block is fixedly installed at the upper and lower side of the limit groove, and a second electric push rod is fixedly installed on the upper part of the square block. A gripper is installed at the front of the second electric push rod, and the gripper and the electric push rod are slidably connected by the limit block.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a second motor is fixedly installed at the middle of the rear part of the base plate, and a connecting rod is installed at the output end of the second motor. The connecting rod is located in the middle of the base plate. Tracks are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper part of the base plate. The tracks are located outside the connecting rods, and the tracks and the connecting rods are connected by a sliding block.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a latch is fixedly installed at the middle position of the front part of the base plate, a hydraulic cylinder is installed at the middle position of the latch, and a hydraulic rod is connected to one end of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a positioning module is fixedly installed on the front of the rotating seat to ensure that the tire axle is aligned with the equipment, and the positioning module is located on the inner side of the gripper.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a support rod is slidably installed at the rear of the support frame, the upper part of the support rod is in contact with the upper rear side of the support frame, the lower part of the support rod is in contact with the connecting rod, and the support rod and the support frame are fixed together with bolts.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a self-locking universal wheel is fixedly installed on the lower part of the base plate. The self-locking universal wheel and the base plate are fixedly connected by bolts. The self-locking universal wheel has four sets evenly distributed around the lower part of the base plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. With the rotating component, the motor is started when in use. The motor drives the sleeve to rotate. While rotating, the sleeve, along with the rotating shaft and the rotating seat, rotates horizontally, allowing the tire to be aligned with the screws at different angles. The rotating shaft also allows the rotating seat to rotate independently, making it easy to remove screws one by one. The first electric push rod pushes the clamping component to make fine adjustments to its position by adjusting the extension distance, making the operation more precise and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0019] 2. With the clamping assembly in place, the first electric push rod extends outward during use, pushing the housings on both sides simultaneously. The housings unfold outward along different threads on the bidirectional screw, and when they unfold to the same width as the tire, they close inward like arms to clamp the tire. At the same time, the second electric push rod inside the housing pushes the block to move, which in turn drives the gripper to move smoothly up and down in the limiting groove. The gripper can be adjusted according to the size of different tires, which is more efficient than manually adjusting the clamp and can also avoid scratching the wheel rim.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes an adjustable clamp for tire removal and installation, including a base plate 1, a support frame 2 slidably mounted on the upper part of the base plate 1, a slider 3 slidably mounted on the middle position of the support frame 2, a rotating component 4 rotatably mounted on the middle position of the slider 3, and a clamping component 5 for fixing the tire mounted on the front part of the rotating component 4.

[0031] The rotating assembly 4 includes a first motor 401 located at the rear center of the slider 3. A sleeve 402 is fitted onto the output end of the first motor 401, passing through the middle of the slider 3. A rotating shaft 403 is rotatably mounted at the center of the inner side of the sleeve 402. One end of the rotating shaft 403 is rotatably connected to a rotating seat 404, and the right side of the rotating seat 404 is connected to a first electric push rod 405. In use, the first motor is started, driving the sleeve 402 to rotate. While rotating, the sleeve 402, along with the rotating shaft 403 and the rotating seat 404, rotates horizontally, allowing the tire to align with screws at different angles. The rotating shaft 403 also allows the rotating seat 404 to rotate independently, facilitating the removal of screws one by one. The first electric push rod 405, by adjusting the extension distance, pushes the clamping assembly 5 back and forth for fine-tuning the position, making the operation more precise and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0032] like Figures 1-5As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the clamping assembly 5 further includes a nut 501 fixedly installed at the front of the rotating seat 404, a bidirectional screw 502 rotatably installed in the middle of the nut 501, both ends of the bidirectional screw 502 penetrating the housing 503, a rectangular block 504 installed at the front of the housing 503, and limit grooves 505 formed on the left and right side walls inside the rectangular block 504, a square block 506 fixedly installed at the upper and lower side of the limit groove 505, a second electric push rod 507 fixedly installed at the upper part of the square block 506, and a gripper 508 installed at the front of the second electric push rod 507, the gripper 508 and the electric push rod being slidably connected by the limit block. When in use, the first electric push rod 405 extends outward, pushing the housings 503 on both sides. The housings 503 unfold outward along different threads on the bidirectional screw 502. When they unfold to the same width as the tire, they close inward like arms to clamp the tire. At the same time, the second electric push rod 507 inside the housing 503 pushes the block 506 to move. While moving, the gripper 508 moves smoothly up and down in the limiting groove 505. The gripper 508 can be adjusted according to the size of different tires, which is more efficient than manually adjusting the clamp and can also avoid scratching the wheel rim.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a second motor 6 is further fixedly installed at the rear center of the base plate 1. A connecting rod 7 is installed at the output end of the second motor 6. The connecting rod 7 is located in the middle of the base plate 1. Tracks 8 are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper part of the base plate 1. The tracks 8 are located outside the connecting rod 7, and the tracks 8 are connected to the connecting rod 7 by a sliding block. In use, the second motor 6 rotates, driving the connecting rod 7 to rotate. When rotating, the sliding block slides on the track 8, pushing the entire support frame 2 to automatically align the tire position.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a latch 9 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the front part of the base plate 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 10 is installed at the middle position of the latch 9. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is connected to a hydraulic rod 11. In use, the hydraulic cylinder 10 pushes the hydraulic rod 11 to hold the tire in place, making it easy to install and remove large tires. In an emergency, it can also lock the tire instantly.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a positioning module 12 is further fixedly installed on the front of the rotating seat 404 to ensure that the tire axle is aligned with the equipment. The positioning module 12 is located inside the gripper 508. A crosshair is emitted by laser or infrared to accurately align with the center of the wheel hub. When the tire is clamped, the axle deviation is detected, and the rotating seat 404 is automatically directed to rotate and adjust the angle so that the tire axle is completely aligned with the rotation center of the equipment to avoid scratching the wheel hub.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a support rod 13 is further slidably installed at the rear of the support frame 2.

During rotation, the slide block slides on the track 8, pushing the entire support frame 2 to automatically align the tire. The hydraulic cylinder 10 then pushes the hydraulic rod 11 to hold the tire in place. The motor drives the sleeve 402 to rotate. Simultaneously, the sleeve 402, along with the rotating shaft 403 and rotating seat 404, rotates horizontally, allowing the tire to align with screws at different angles. The rotating shaft 403 also allows the rotating seat 404 to rotate independently, facilitating the removal of screws one by one. The first electric push rod 405 adjusts according to the... The entire telescopic distance pushes the clamping assembly 5 back and forth to make slight adjustments to its position. The first electric push rod 405 extends outward, pushing the housings 503 on both sides at the same time. The housings 503 unfold outward along different threads on the bidirectional screw 502. When they unfold to the same width as the tire, they close inward like arms to clamp the tire. At the same time, the second electric push rod 507 inside the housing 503 pushes the block 506 to move. While moving, the gripper 508 moves smoothly up and down in the limiting groove 505. The gripper 508 is adjusted according to the size of different tires, which is more efficient than manually adjusting the clamp.

[0039] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
