[0026] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, a vehicle maneuvering device with retractable clamping wheels includes...

[0027] Electric pallet truck 10, reinforcing support plate 20 located at the front end of the fork arm, and clamping wheel mechanism mounted on reinforcing support plate 20;

[0028] The clamping wheel mechanism includes: a front fixed clamping wheel shaft 30 fixed to the front side of the reinforcing support plate 20; a telescopic clamping wheel bracket 40 slidably connected to the reinforcing support plate 20 via a sliding shaft 50; a rear telescopic clamping wheel shaft 70 axially movable within the telescopic bracket; a hybrid linear stepper motor 90 driving the sliding shaft 50 and the rear telescopic clamping wheel shaft 70 to move synchronously; a cable-passing crank tube 100 arranged on the side of the reinforcing support plate 20 for protecting control cables; wherein, the sliding shaft 50 and the sliding sleeve 60 fixed on the reinforcing support plate 20 form a sliding pair; the hybrid linear stepper motor 90 is connected to the sliding shaft 50 and the rear telescopic clamping wheel shaft 70 respectively via a coupling; it also includes a protective cover 110 covering the sliding shaft 50 and the hybrid linear stepper motor 90; wherein, the protective cover 110 is embedded with a PT100 temperature sensor, which automatically reduces the frequency when the temperature exceeds 80℃. It also includes a wheel track adaptive adjustment system, comprising: an ultrasonic sensor mounted on the side of the reinforcing support plate 20; a motor control module linked to the sensor; the control module automatically adjusts the stroke of the slide shaft 50 according to the sensor signal; and an operation control device 120 electrically connected to the hybrid linear stepper motor 90 is provided at the handle of the electric pallet truck 10.

[0029] In one embodiment, a control step for the retractable wheel-operated vehicle moving device is also included, the steps of which are as follows:

[0030] Step 1: Equipment Positioning

[0031] Push the electric pallet truck 10 to the front wheel position of the target vehicle, so that the front fixed clamp wheel axle 30 is close to the front side of the tire. The operation control device 120 starts the wheel track adaptive adjustment system, the ultrasonic sensor detects the wheel track and feeds the data back to the motor control module.

[0032] Step 2: Deploy the clamping wheel mechanism

[0033] The hybrid linear stepper motor 90 drives the sliding shaft 50 to extend outward, causing the telescopic clamping wheel bracket 40 to slide along the sliding sleeve 60 to a position 1.1 to 1.2 times the wheel track. After the motor continues to drive, the telescopic clamping wheel shaft 70 extends axially from inside the bracket until it is fully unfolded.

[0034] Step 3: Clamp the wheel

[0035] The control system reverses the telescopic clamping wheel bracket 40 to retract, so that the rear telescopic clamping wheel shaft 70 is in close contact with the rear side of the wheel. If the pressure sensor is set to detect the clamping force, it will stop retracting after reaching a preset value such as 500N~1200N.

[0036] Step 4: Lift the vehicle

[0037] Operate the electric pallet truck to lift the forks 10, so that the front wheels of the vehicle are off the ground, and the rear wheels are raised in sync with the pallet mover to ensure that the vehicle is stably suspended in the air.

[0038] Step 5: Move the vehicle

[0039] The manual pusher forklift 10 moves the vehicle to the target position. The wheel track adaptive system adjusts the travel of the sliding shaft 50 in real time to prevent the clamps from loosening.

[0040] Step Six: Release the vehicle

[0041] Lower the fork arm to bring the wheel to the ground, control the hybrid linear stepper motor 90 to first extend the telescopic clamping wheel bracket 40, then retract the telescopic clamping wheel shaft 70, and finally retract the entire clamping wheel mechanism.

[0042] Step Seven: Full-Process Security Monitoring

[0043] The PT100 temperature sensor monitors the motor temperature. When the temperature exceeds 80℃, it automatically reduces the frequency and triggers an alarm. The emergency stop button 122 can cut off the power supply at any time to prevent accidents.

[0044] The surface of the slide shaft 50 is provided with a self-lubricating coating, which is composed of a graphite and molybdenum disulfide composite material with a thickness of 0.1-0.3 mm.

[0045] In one embodiment, the self-lubricating coating can reduce the coefficient of friction (0.08~0.12), making the movement of the slide shaft 50 smoother and reducing the load on the hybrid linear stepper motor 90. At the same time, the graphite + molybdenum disulfide composite coating provides long-lasting self-lubrication, reducing maintenance needs and extending service life (≥50km sliding distance).

[0046] The telescopic clamp wheel bracket 40 features a hollow frame structure with intersecting reinforcing ribs inside. The thickness of these ribs is 1.2-1.5 times the thickness of the main body of the bracket. Through topology optimization design of the intersecting reinforcing ribs, a weight reduction of 30%-40% (compared to a solid structure) can be achieved while maintaining the overall frame rigidity. At the same time, the gradient design of the reinforcing rib thickness (1.2-1.5 times the main body thickness) forms the optimal force transmission path, increasing bending stiffness by more than 50%.

[0047] The reinforcing support plate 20 has a multi-layer composite structure, including: an upper aluminum alloy plate with a thickness of 5-8mm; a lower stainless steel plate with a thickness of 3-5mm; and a middle damping layer, which is a rubber-metal sandwich material.

[0048] In one embodiment, the sandwich structure of aluminum alloy + damping layer + stainless steel combines lightweight (aluminum alloy layer), vibration reduction and noise reduction (damping layer η≥0.3) and high strength (stainless steel layer); the constrained damping layer (rubber / aluminum foil laminate) effectively absorbs the impact vibration when the vehicle moves, reducing noise by more than 15dB(A); edge bolt reinforcement + structural adhesive bonding ensures tight bonding between layers, prevents delamination, and improves the overall load-bearing capacity.

[0049] Working principle: When a vehicle needs to be moved, the operator pushes the equipment to the front wheel position of the target vehicle, so that the front fixed clamping wheel axle 30, which is fixed to the front side of the reinforcing support plate 20, is close to the wheel. The operation control device 120 first starts the hybrid linear stepper motor 90, which drives the sliding shaft 50 through the coupling to drive the telescopic clamping wheel bracket 40 to extend outward along the sliding sleeve 60. After the bracket extends to the appropriate position, the motor continues to drive the rear telescopic clamping wheel axle 70 to extend outward from the bracket. When the rear clamping wheel axle is fully extended, the operation control device 120 reverses the operation to retract the telescopic clamping wheel bracket 40 until the rear telescopic clamping wheel is fully extended. The axle 70 is pressed against the other side of the wheel; at this time, the electric pallet truck 10 raises the height of the fork arm, lifting the front wheels of the vehicle off the ground. Simultaneously, the rear wheel mover lifts the rear wheels, allowing the entire device to be manually pushed to move the vehicle horizontally. Throughout the process, the cable-stayed boom tube 100 protects the control cable from moving, the wheel track adaptive adjustment system monitors the wheel track in real time through an ultrasonic sensor and automatically adjusts the clamping position, the composite structure of the reinforced support plate 20 and the reinforcing rib design of the telescopic clamping wheel bracket 40 ensure load-bearing strength, and the self-lubricating coating of the sliding shaft 50 ensures smooth sliding, achieving safe and reliable vehicle moving operations. In summary, this design uses electric control to reduce manual operation; a hybrid linear stepper motor 90 is used to achieve the telescopic and clamping of the clamping wheels, reducing the size of the moving equipment and making it more convenient.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
