[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire inspection technology, specifically to a visual inspection device for tire defects. Background Technology
[0002] After automobile tires are manufactured, their outer tread pattern and inner surface need to be inspected to avoid defects that could affect product quality. Currently, both the inner and outer surfaces of automobile tires can be inspected using images captured by cameras for analysis to determine if defects exist. However, in actual inspection, while industrial cameras can detect the tread pattern on the outer surface, subtle scratches and other defects on the inner surface of automobile tires are not easily detected during the initial leak detection stage. Furthermore, the arched shape of the tire's inner wall makes it difficult to detect visual defects during visual inspection, thus affecting the accuracy of the inspection. Utility Model Content

The visual inspection assembly is disposed on the frame and inspects the outer and inner walls of the tire. The tire inner wall lifting assembly is disposed between the two drive rollers and includes a lifting drive and a lifting roller. The lifting roller is connected to the lifting drive and is configured such that when the visual inspection assembly inspects the inner wall of the tire, the lifting drive drives the lifting roller to rise and lift the tire, causing the inner wall of the tire to bulge.
[0006] Furthermore, the lifting drive includes a first cylinder and a first rotating seat. The first cylinder is disposed below the support plate, the first rotating seat is connected to the first cylinder, and the lifting roller is rotatably disposed on the first rotating seat. The first cylinder is used to drive the first rotating seat to rise and fall.
