Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model applies to the field of vehicle maintenance equipment technology, specifically an integrated high-box manual shaft. Background Technology
[0002] A manual locking axle is a mechanical tool specifically designed for the automotive repair and tire service industries. Its core function is to secure tires or rims with a locking mechanism, providing a stable operating environment during tire replacement or removal. This tool is widely used in auto repair shops, tire service centers, and related mechanical repair facilities, and is an indispensable piece of equipment in tire maintenance and replacement. The working principle of a manual locking axle is based on its mechanical structure. It typically consists of a central axle, a locking mechanism, and an operating handle. The central axle is inserted into the center hole of the tire or rim, while the locking mechanism securely fastens the tire or rim to the axle via threads or other mechanical structures. The operating handle is used to manually operate the locking and unlocking process, ensuring the tire remains stable during replacement or removal. If the central axle is too long during tire rotation, it may lead to decreased axle stability. Increased axle length weakens stability and increases the required torque, making it prone to wobbling during rotation. This wobbling not only affects tire balance but can also prevent operators from accurately maneuvering during tire replacement or removal, increasing repair difficulty. Furthermore, wobbling can pose serious safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, specifically those raised in the background section, this utility model patent proposes an integrated high-profile manual shaft, comprising a transmission housing and a fixing assembly. A long shaft is installed between the transmission housing and the fixing assembly, with a bearing mounted at the lower end of the long shaft. The bearing has a diameter of 130mm. The transmission housing includes a lower cover and an upper cover, each with a mounting seat on one side. A worm gear is mounted within the mounting seat via a pair of bearings, and a multi-wedge pulley is mounted at one end of the worm gear. A turbine is also installed between the lower cover and the upper cover, meshing with the worm gear. The long shaft is connected to the turbine via a flat key. A locking disc assembly is mounted at the upper end of the long shaft. The ratio of the height between the lower surface of the lower cover and the upper surface of the upper cover to the height between the upper surface of the upper cover and the upper surface of the locking disc assembly is 1:1.35.
[0004] A further feature of this utility model patent is that the fixing component includes a lead screw inserted into the long shaft, the lead screw and the long shaft are fixed together by a pair of fixing pins, a fixing cone seat is fitted on the lead screw, the upper end of the lead screw is threaded and a locking nut is threadedly connected to it.
[0005] A further feature of this utility model patent is that a spring is fitted on the lead screw and located between the fixed cone and the locking nut.
[0006] A further feature of this utility model patent is that the locking disc assembly includes a locking disc base and an upper locking disc, the locking disc base and the upper locking disc are jointly equipped with a positioning slide, and a plurality of sets of balls and grooves are provided between the locking disc base and the upper locking disc for locking.
[0007] A further feature of this utility model patent is that a protective pad is also installed on the locking disc.
[0008] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model patent are as follows: by optimizing the structural design of the transmission box and the fixing components, the height of the transmission box is increased, the length of the intermediate shaft is reduced, and shaking during rotation is avoided, thus improving stability. The spring setting can effectively buffer the impact force and protect the safety of tools and operators. At the same time, the cooperation between the locking nut and the fixing cone seat ensures the firm fixing of the tire or wheel hub. Several sets of balls and grooves are set between the locking disc seat and the upper locking disc to lock together. Working in conjunction with the locking nut, the tire locking effect can be improved. The protective pad on the locking disc assembly can prevent direct contact between the tool and the tire or wheel hub, avoiding scratches or damage to the surface of the tire and wheel hub.
