Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tire processing and transportation technology, and in particular to a tire transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Tire processing involves multiple steps and often needs to be carried out in different locations. The industry currently typically uses multi-station transport systems for bulk tire transport. However, due to space constraints between adjacent stations, tires cannot be directly processed on the transport system (e.g., grinding, spraying, etc.). Therefore, in actual processing, multiple tires must first be unloaded from the transport system, processed by external equipment, and then reloaded. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, repeated loading and unloading is required for different processing steps, increasing the risk of delays and impacting overall tire processing efficiency and costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem that existing tire transport devices cannot be directly integrated with tire processing. This invention provides a tire transport device that enables continuous transport and tire processing without repeated loading and unloading of tires, effectively improving tire production efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an embodiment of this utility model discloses a tire transport device, comprising:

[0005] A base configured to include at least one receiving cavity, each receiving cavity including at least one partition;

[0006] At least one sliding plate, each of the sliding plates being slidably connected to a corresponding partition in a second direction;

[0007] At least one fixing part, each fixing part being connected to a corresponding sliding plate, each fixing part being used to support a tire; wherein...

[0008] Each of the sliding plates is used to extend the corresponding partition along the second direction to extend the corresponding receiving cavity so that the corresponding fixing part is located outside the receiving cavity;

[0009] Each of the sliding plates is used to retract the corresponding partition along the second direction to retract the corresponding receiving cavity so that the corresponding fixing part is located within the receiving cavity.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, the tire transport device of this application embodiment has the function of continuously transporting and fixing tires, and can cooperate with various external processing equipment (such as grinding equipment, painting equipment, glue spraying machine, etc.) to process tires without repeatedly installing and removing tires from the tire transport device. Specifically, the base is provided with one or more receiving cavities, each receiving cavity is defined by partitions spaced apart along a first direction, and a sliding plate is slidably connected to the partitions in a second direction. The sliding plate is provided with a fixing part for supporting the tire, so that the sliding plate can slide relative to the partitions in the second direction to extend or retract into the receiving cavity.

[0011] Based on this, for example, the tire transport device is moved to the grinding station, and the operator can extend the sliding plate along the second direction to extend it out of the receiving cavity, and then install the tire on the fixed part. At this time, the tire is in the processing state; then the tire on the fixed part is ground by the external grinding device. After all the tires on the fixed part have been ground, the sliding plate is retracted along the second direction to retract it back into the receiving cavity. At this time, the tire is reset to the transport state (i.e., the tire is in the receiving cavity).

[0012] Once all tires on the mounting brackets are returned to their transportable state, the tire transport device can be moved to the next processing station (e.g., to the painting station), and the above operation can be repeated. It can be understood that once a tire is installed on the mounting bracket, it does not need to be removed from the same or different stations, allowing it to continuously work with different processing devices at different stations. This effectively improves tire transport and processing efficiency, reduces the risk of delays, and saves time and effort.

[0013] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the base includes a bottom plate and a first side plate, the bottom plate being for contacting the ground, the first side plate extending along a second direction and connected to the bottom plate; each of the partitions extending along the second direction and connected to the bottom plate and the first side plate; wherein the bottom plate, the first side plate, and the partitions arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the first direction define a corresponding receiving cavity; the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0014] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, it further includes: a sliding frame, the sliding frame including a first support and a second support connected to each other, the first support extending along the first direction and located on the top of the partition along a third direction, and the first support being used to be slidably connected to at least one of the sliding plates located within the corresponding receiving cavity in the third direction, the second support being detachably connected to one of the partitions; the third direction, the first direction, and the second direction intersect each other.

[0015] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, each of the partitions is provided with a second sliding groove extending along the third direction, and each sliding plate is provided with an insertion hole, wherein the second sliding groove is used to communicate with the insertion hole;

[0016] Along the third direction, the first bracket is provided with at least one plug-in rod spaced apart along the first direction on the side facing the second sliding groove, and the at least one plug-in rod, the at least one second sliding groove, and the at least one plug hole correspond one to one;

[0017] The second bracket is provided with a first handle, and the sliding plate is provided with a second handle;

[0018] The first handle is used to drive the at least one plug rod to slide along the corresponding at least one second sliding groove, so that the at least one plug rod disengages from or inserts into the corresponding at least one plug hole, so that the sliding plate is fixed relative to the partition, or so that the sliding plate is used to extend or retract relative to the partition in the second direction via the second handle.

[0019] Using the above technical solution, the tire transport device also includes a sliding frame for locking the sliding plate and the partition. The sliding frame includes a first bracket and a second bracket connected together. The first bracket is slidably connected to the sliding plate in a third direction, and the second bracket is detachably connected to one of the partitions of the base. The first bracket can be driven to move relative to the sliding plate in a third direction by moving the second bracket, thereby achieving locking or unlocking between the sliding plate and the partition.

[0020] Specifically, the partition is provided with a second sliding groove extending in a third direction, and at the same time, the sliding plate is provided with a corresponding insertion hole, and the second sliding groove and the insertion hole can communicate with each other; the first bracket is provided with a plug-in rod, and the plug-in rod, the second sliding groove and the insertion hole correspond one-to-one.

[0021] When the sliding plate and the partition are relatively fixed, the insertion rod on the first bracket passes through the second sliding groove into the insertion hole. At this time, the operator cannot move the sliding plate out by pulling the second handle on the sliding plate. When it is necessary to release the locking state of the sliding plate and the partition, the operator can pull the first handle on the second bracket to disengage the insertion rod on the first bracket from the insertion hole in a third direction away from the second sliding groove. At this time, the sliding plate can slide relative to the partition in a second direction. That is, when the sliding plate and the partition are not locked, the operator can pull the second handle on the sliding plate in the second direction to pull the sliding plate out of the receiving cavity so that it extends relative to the partition. Alternatively, the operator can push the second handle on the sliding plate in the second direction to push the sliding plate into the receiving cavity so that it retracts relative to the partition.

[0022] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the sliding frame further includes a first locking bolt, the second bracket is provided with a first screw hole, one of the partitions is provided with a second screw hole, and the first locking bolt is used to screw into the first screw hole and the second screw hole.

[0023] Using the above technical solution, the first locking bolt enables a detachable connection between the second bracket and one of the partitions, that is, it enables the relative fixation of the second bracket and one of the partitions. When it is necessary to use a sliding frame to lock the sliding plate and the partition, the first locking bolt can be rotated and removed; when it is necessary to release the locking state of the sliding plate and the partition, the first locking bolt can be installed.

[0024] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, each of the fixing parts includes:

[0025] A turntable is rotatably connected to the corresponding sliding plate in a circumferential manner;

[0026] A threaded rod extends along the first direction, and one end of the threaded rod is connected to the turntable;

[0027] Multiple support portions are provided at intervals along the circumference on the outer wall of the turntable, each support portion is used to abut against the inner wall of the tire, and each support portion is used to extend and retract radially along the turntable;

[0028] A drive assembly includes a first part and a plurality of second parts, each of which corresponds to a plurality of support portions. The first part is slidably connected to the threaded rod in a first direction. One end of each second part is connected to the first part, and the other end of each second part is connected to the corresponding support portion.

[0029] The first portion is used to slide relative to the threaded rod along the first direction, so that the plurality of second portions drive the corresponding support portion to extend or retract along the radial direction.

[0030] In actual industrial production, tire sizes vary considerably due to differences in application, vehicle type, and performance requirements. Currently, some fixing components can be adjusted to accommodate tires of different sizes (e.g., different diameters). However, operators often need to adjust each fixing component sequentially, which not only reduces work efficiency but also makes it impossible to ensure consistency in the distance of all adjusted components, thus hindering precise tire alignment and fixation.

[0031] Using the above technical solution, firstly, the fixing part in the embodiment of this application is used to support and fix the tire, that is, each supporting part in the fixing part is used to abut against the inner wall of the tire, so that multiple supporting parts can abut against and support the tire together. At this time, the tire can be processed by an external processing device (e.g., a grinding device).

[0032] Secondly, the fixing part in this embodiment can drive multiple support parts to adjust their size by cooperating with the first part and multiple second parts of the driving assembly and the threaded rod. That is, by driving the first part to slide relative to the threaded rod in a first direction, the multiple second parts can drive the corresponding support parts to extend and retract radially, thereby adjusting the circular structure formed by the multiple support parts, which is used to support the inner wall of the tire.

[0033] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, each of the support portions includes:

[0034] A positioning post, one end of which is fixed to the turntable;

[0035] A telescopic rod, one end of which is located at the other end of the positioning post, and the telescopic rod is capable of extending or retracting into the positioning post along the radial direction;

[0036] An abutment is connected to the other end of the telescopic rod, and the abutment is used to abut against the inner wall of the tire.

[0037] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the first part includes a sliding sleeve, which is sleeved on the threaded rod and threadedly engaged with the threaded rod; the second part includes a hinge rod, one end of each hinge rod is connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve, and the other end of each hinge rod is connected to the abutment member;

[0038] The sliding sleeve is used to slide relative to the threaded rod toward or away from the turntable in the first direction, so that the plurality of hinged rods drive the corresponding abutment to extend or retract in the radial direction via the telescopic rod.

[0039] Using the above technical solution, for example, when the tire diameter is large, the operator can rotate the sliding sleeve clockwise, causing it to engage with the threaded rod and slide towards the turntable in the first direction. Multiple hinged rods connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve can then drive corresponding abutment members. This allows the telescopic rod connected to the abutment member to extend radially relative to the positioning post. Multiple support parts move away from the center of the turntable. At this point, the diameter of the circular structure formed by the multiple support parts is close to the diameter of the tire, facilitating the placement of the tire on the support parts. Then, the above operation is repeated, allowing the multiple support parts to abut against the inner wall of the tire, effectively squeezing the tire radially outward to secure it.

[0040] When the tire diameter is small, or after the entire tire transportation process is completed, the operator can rotate the sliding sleeve counterclockwise, causing it to engage with the threaded rod and slide away from the turntable in the first direction. Then, multiple hinged rods connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve can drive the corresponding abutment, so that the telescopic rod connected to the abutment can retract radially relative to the positioning post. Multiple support parts move closer to the center of the turntable. At this time, the diameter of the circular structure formed by the multiple support parts is close to the diameter of the tire, so that the tire can be placed on the multiple support parts. Alternatively, the above operation can be repeated so that the multiple support parts can move away from the inner wall of the tire, thereby facilitating the removal of the tire from the multiple support parts.

[0041] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, each of the fixing parts further includes a second locking bolt, the turntable is provided with a third screw hole, the sliding plate is provided with a fourth screw hole, and the second locking bolt is used to screw into the third screw hole and the fourth screw hole.

[0042] Using the above technical solution, the second locking bolt can achieve relative fixation between the turntable and the sliding plate. That is to say, the turntable in this embodiment can rotate circumferentially relative to the sliding plate. For example, during grinding, the operator can manually rotate the threaded rod or the turntable to rotate the tires placed on multiple support parts. At this time, it is only necessary to place the grinding device in one processing position and grind by rotating the tires on the fixed part, without having to move the grinding device to multiple suitable processing positions, saving time and effort. After grinding is finished, the turntable and the sliding plate can be locked directly by the second locking bolt. Attached Figure Description

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a tire transport device 100, including a base 110, seven partitions 120, six sliding plates 130 and six fixing parts 140.

[0054] As can be seen, the base 110 has a frame structure with six receiving cavities 111 inside. Each receiving cavity 111 is formed by at least one component along a first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is defined by two partitions 120 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart (shown in the Y direction).

[0055] It should be noted that the shape of the base 110 is not specifically limited in this application embodiment. For example, it can also be set as a rectangle, square, trapezoid, etc. As long as the base shape can be configured with a cavity 111 inside, it is within the protection scope of this application embodiment.

[0056] Meanwhile, the embodiments of this application do not impose a specific limitation on the number of accommodating cavities 111. For example, they can be set to one, two, three, seven, eight, etc.

[0057] It should be further noted that the embodiments of this application do not impose specific limitations on the number of each of the partition 120, sliding plate 130, and fixing part 140. In the embodiments of this application, the partition 120, sliding plate 130, and fixing part 140 may or may not correspond one-to-one.

[0058] In other words, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, exemplarily, each of the six receiving cavities 111 is defined by at least two adjacent partitions 120, i.e. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The example shows seven partitions 120; however, the leftmost partition 120 in the first direction (e.g.) Figure 1 The sliding plate 130 may not be provided on the side indicated by the Y1 direction (hereinafter referred to as "the leftmost partition 120"). Figure 1 and Figure 2 The example shows six sliding plates 130; meanwhile, although Figure 1 and Figure 2 The example shows a fixing part 140 corresponding to each of the six sliding plates 130, but it is understood that some of the six sliding plates 130 may not have a fixing part 140. The embodiments of this application do not impose specific limitations on this, and the choice can be made according to the actual application.

[0059] Furthermore, the leftmost partition 120 can also be used to connect with the sliding frame 150 described later. However, it is understood that the partition 120 without the sliding plate 130 or the partition 120 connected to the sliding frame 150 can also be located on the rightmost side. This article only uses the leftmost partition 120 as an example for illustration. The embodiments of this application do not actually limit this and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual applications. Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each of the six sliding plates 130 is positioned along the second direction (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sliding plates 130 (shown in the X direction) are connected to the corresponding partitions 120 in a slidable manner. As mentioned above, the number of sliding plates 130 can correspond one-to-one with the number of partitions 120, but it can also be less than the number of partitions 120. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0060] Each of the six fixing parts 140 is connected to a corresponding sliding plate 130, and each fixing part 140 is used to support the tire. As mentioned above, the number of fixing parts 140 can correspond one-to-one with the number of partitions 120, but it can also be less than the number of partitions 120 or less than the number of sliding plates 130. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this, and the selection can be made according to the actual application.

[0061] Each sliding plate 130 can move along the second direction (e.g. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The corresponding partition 120 extends out in the X direction shown in the figure to extend out of the corresponding receiving cavity 111, so that the corresponding fixing part 140 is located outside the receiving cavity 111;

[0062] Each sliding plate 130 is used along the second direction (e.g.) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The corresponding partition 120 extends out in the X direction (shown in the diagram) to retract into the corresponding receiving cavity 111 so that the corresponding fixing part 140 is located within the receiving cavity 111. Exemplarily, the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0063] Using the above technical solution, the tire transport device 100 of this application embodiment has the function of continuously transporting and fixing tires, and can cooperate with various external processing equipment (such as grinding equipment, painting equipment, glue spraying machine, etc.) to process tires without repeatedly fixing and removing the tires from the tire transport device 100. Specifically, the base 110 is provided with one or more receiving cavities 111, each receiving cavity 111 including at least one partition 120, and then a sliding plate 130 is slidably connected to the partition 120 in a second direction. The sliding plate 130 is provided with a fixing part 140 for supporting the tire, so that the sliding plate 130 can slide relative to the partition 120 in the second direction to extend or retract into the receiving cavity 111.

[0064] Based on this, for example, the tire transport device 100 is moved to the grinding station. The operator can extend the sliding plate 130 out of the partition 120 in the second direction so that it extends out of the receiving cavity 111, and then install the tire on the fixed part 140. At this time, the tire is in the processing state. Then, the tire on the fixed part 140 is ground by the external grinding device. After all the tires on the fixed part 140 have been ground, the sliding plate 130 is retracted back to the partition 120 in the second direction so that it retracts back into the receiving cavity 111. At this time, the tire is reset to the transport state (i.e., the tire is located in the receiving cavity 111).

[0065] Once all tires on the mounting section 140 have been returned to their transportable state, the tire transport device 100 can be moved to the next processing station (e.g., to the painting station), and the above operation can be repeated. It can be understood that once a tire is installed on the mounting section 140, it does not need to be removed at the same or different stations, allowing it to continuously work with different processing devices at different stations. This effectively improves tire transport and processing efficiency, reduces the risk of delays, and saves time and effort.

[0066] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As mentioned above, each receiving cavity 111 is composed of at least one component along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is defined by partitions 120 that are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart (in the Y direction shown in the figure).

[0067] That is, in some possible implementations, the base 110 includes a base plate 112 and a first side plate 113, the base plate 112 being for contacting the ground, and the first side plate 113 being along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first side plate 113 extends along the Y direction shown in the diagram and is connected to the base plate 112; each partition 120 extends along the second direction and is connected to the base plate 112 and the first side plate 113.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each receiving cavity 111 is defined by a portion of the base plate 112, a portion of the first side plate 113, and two partitions 120 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the first direction.

[0069] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some possible implementations, the partition 120 is provided with a first sliding groove 121, the first sliding groove 121 being along a second direction (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 Extending in the X direction shown in the figure, the sliding plate 130 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 121 and is used to extend or retract the first sliding groove 121.

[0070] In some possible implementations, the tire transport device of this application embodiment further includes: a sliding frame 150. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sliding bracket 150 includes a first bracket 151 and a second bracket 152 connected to each other. It can be seen that the first bracket 151 extends along a first direction (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 Extending in the Y direction shown in the figure, and along a third direction (such as...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Z-direction shown in the diagram is located at the top of the partition 120, and the first bracket 151 is used to position itself along a third direction (such as...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second bracket 152 is slidably connected to the six sliding plates 130 located within the six receiving cavities 111 in the Z direction shown in the diagram, and is detachably connected to the leftmost partition 120 (i.e., Figure 1 Connect the side indicated by the Y1 direction; the third direction, the first direction, and the second direction intersect each other.

[0071] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some possible implementations, each partition 120 is provided along a third direction (e.g., Figure 2 The second sliding groove 122 extends in the Z direction (as shown in the diagram), while each sliding plate 130 is provided with an insertion hole 131 (as shown in the diagram). Figure 3 As shown, the second sliding groove 122 can be connected to the socket 131.

[0072] Along a third direction, the side of the first bracket 151 facing the first sliding groove 121 is provided with a first direction (e.g. Figure 2The six plug-in rods 1511 (shown in the Y direction) are spaced apart, and it can be seen that the six plug-in rods 1511, the six second sliding grooves 122, and the six sockets 131 correspond one-to-one. This embodiment of the application does not impose a specific limitation on the number of each of the plug-in rods 1511, the second sliding grooves 122, and the sockets 131; for example, they can be set to one, two, seven, eight, etc.

[0073] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second bracket 152 is provided with a first handle 1521, and the sliding plate 130 is provided with a second handle 132.

[0074] The first handle 1521 can drive the six plug rods 1511 to slide along the corresponding six first sliding grooves 121 respectively, so that the six plug rods 1511 disengage from or insert into the corresponding six sockets 131, so that the sliding plate 130 is fixed relative to the partition 120, or so that the sliding plate 130 is used to extend or retract relative to the partition 120 in the second direction via the second handle 132.

[0075] The tire transport device 100 also includes a sliding frame 150 for locking the sliding plate 130 and the partition 120. The sliding frame 150 includes a first bracket 151 and a second bracket 152 connected to each other. The first bracket 151 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 130 in a third direction, and the second bracket 152 is detachably connected to the leftmost partition 120 of the base 110. The first bracket 151 can be driven to move relative to the sliding plate 130 in a third direction by moving the second bracket 152, thereby achieving locking or unlocking between the sliding plate 130 and the partition 120.

[0076] Specifically, the partition 120 is provided along a third direction (such as...). Figure 2 The second sliding groove 122 extends in the Z direction as shown in the figure. At the same time, the sliding plate 130 is provided with a socket 131 corresponding to the second sliding groove 122, and the second sliding groove 122 and the socket 131 can communicate with each other. The first bracket 151 is provided with a plug rod 1511, and the plug rod 1511, the second sliding groove 122, and the socket 131 correspond one-to-one.

[0077] When the sliding plate 130 and the partition 120 are relatively fixed, the insertion rod 1511 on the first bracket 151 passes through the second sliding groove 122 into the insertion hole 131. At this time, the operator cannot move the sliding plate 130 out by pulling the second handle 132 on the sliding plate 130. When it is necessary to release the locking state of the sliding plate 130 and the partition 120, the operator can pull the first handle 1521 on the second bracket 152, so that the insertion rod 1511 on the first bracket 151 disengages in a direction away from the second sliding groove 122 along a third direction. In the socket 131, the sliding plate 130 can slide relative to the partition 120 in the second direction. That is, when the sliding plate 130 and the partition 120 are in the unlocked state, the operator can pull the second handle 132 on the sliding plate 130 in the second direction to pull the sliding plate 130 out of the receiving cavity 111 so that it extends relative to the partition 120. Alternatively, the operator can push the second handle 132 on the sliding plate 130 in the second direction to push the sliding plate 130 into the receiving cavity 111 so that it retracts relative to the partition 120.

[0078] In some possible implementations, the sliding bracket 150 further includes a first locking bolt 153, which is used to fix the second bracket 152 relative to the leftmost partition 120. Specifically, the second bracket 152 has a first screw hole (not shown in the figure), and the leftmost partition 120 has a second screw hole (not shown in the figure). The first locking bolt 153 is used to screw into the first and second screw holes. Using this technical solution, the first locking bolt 153 enables a detachable connection between the second bracket 152 and the leftmost partition 120, i.e., it enables relative fixation between the second bracket 152 and the leftmost partition 120. When it is necessary to lock the sliding plate 130 and the partition 120 using the sliding bracket 150, the first locking bolt 153 can be rotated and removed. When it is necessary to release the locking state of the sliding plate 130 and the partition 120, the first locking bolt 153 can be installed.

[0079] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some possible implementations, each fixing part 140 includes a turntable 141, a threaded rod 142, four support parts 143, and a drive assembly 144.

[0080] Specifically, it can be seen that the turntable 141 is rotatably connected to the corresponding sliding plate 130 in a circumferential manner. The threaded rod 142 is along the first direction (e.g., Figure 3 Extending in the Y direction (as shown in the diagram), one end of the threaded rod 142 is connected to the turntable 141. Four supports 143 are circumferentially spaced on the outer wall of the turntable 141, each support 143 abutting against the inner wall 201 of the tire 200 (as shown in the diagram). Figure 1As shown), and each support 143 is used for radial extension and retraction along the turntable 141.

[0081] The drive assembly 144 includes a first part 1441 and a plurality of second parts 1442, the plurality of second parts 1442 corresponding one-to-one with a plurality of support parts 143, and the first part 1441 extending along a first direction (e.g., Figure 3 The second portion 1442 is slidably connected to the threaded rod 142 in the Y direction shown in the diagram. One end of each second portion 1442 is connected to the first portion 1441, and the other end of each second portion 1442 is connected to the corresponding support portion 143. The first portion 1441 is used to slide relative to the threaded rod 142 in a first direction, so that the plurality of second portions 1442 drive the corresponding support portion 143 to extend and retract radially.

[0082] In other words, firstly, the fixing part 140 in this embodiment is used to support and fix the tire. That is, each support part 143 in the fixing part 140 is used to abut against the inner wall of the tire. Thus, multiple support parts 143 can abut against and support the tire together. At this time, the tire can be processed by an external processing device (e.g., a grinding device).

[0083] Secondly, in this embodiment, the fixing part 140 can drive the multiple support parts 143 to adjust their size by cooperating with the threaded rod 142 through the first part 1441 and the multiple second parts 1442 of the driving assembly 144. That is, by driving the first part 1441 to slide relative to the threaded rod 142 in a first direction, the multiple second parts 1442 can drive the corresponding support parts 143 to extend and retract radially, thereby adjusting the circular structure formed by the multiple support parts 143, which is used to support the inner wall of the tire.

[0084] For example, each fixing part 140 also includes a limiting plate 146, which is disposed at the end of the threaded rod 142 away from the turntable 141 (i.e. Figure 3 (The end pointed to in the Y1 direction), the limiting plate 146 can restrict the first part 1441 from moving along the first direction on the threaded rod 142.

[0085] It should be noted that the number of the support parts 143 described above is not specifically limited in this application embodiment. For example, the number of them can be set to two, three, five, etc. As long as they can jointly support the inner wall of the tire, they are all within the protection scope of this application embodiment.

[0086] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some possible implementations, each support 143 includes a positioning post 1431, a telescopic rod 1432, and an abutment member 1433.

[0087] Specifically, one end of the positioning post 1431 is fixed to the turntable 141. One end of the telescopic rod 1432 is located at the other end of the positioning post 1431, and the telescopic rod 1432 can extend or retract radially from the positioning post 1431. The abutment 1433 is connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 1432, and the abutment 1433 is used to abut against the inner wall of the tire.

[0088] In some possible implementations, the first part 1441 includes a sliding sleeve 14411, which is sleeved on the threaded rod 142 and threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 142; the second part 1442 includes a hinge rod 14421, one end of which is connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14411, and the other end of which is connected to the abutment member 1433.

[0089] Sleeve 14411 can slide relative to threaded rod 142 toward turntable 141 in a first direction (e.g.) Figure 3 (as shown in the Y2 direction), so that the four hinge rods 14421 drive the corresponding abutment 1433 to extend radially via the telescopic rod 1432; or, the sliding sleeve 14411 can slide relative to the threaded rod 142 away from the turntable 141 in a first direction (e.g., Figure 3 (shown in the Y1 direction) so that the four hinge rods 14421 drive the corresponding abutment 1433 to retract radially via the telescopic rod 1432.

[0090] In other words, in this embodiment, for example, when the tire diameter is large, the operator can rotate the sliding sleeve 14411 clockwise, causing it to engage with the threaded rod 142 and slide in the first direction toward the turntable 141. Then, the multiple hinged rods 14421 connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14411 can drive the corresponding abutment 1433, thereby allowing the telescopic rod 1432 connected to the abutment 1433 to extend radially relative to the positioning post 1431. At this time, the multiple support portions 143 move away from the center of the turntable 141, and the diameter of the circular structure formed by the multiple support portions 143 is close to the diameter of the tire, facilitating the placement of the tire on the multiple support portions 143. Then, the above operation is repeated, allowing the multiple support portions 143 to abut against the inner wall of the tire, thereby achieving the effect of radially outward compression to fix the tire.

[0091] When the tire diameter is small, or when the entire tire transportation process is completed, the operator can rotate the sliding sleeve 14411 counterclockwise, so that it engages with the threaded rod 142 and slides away from the turntable 141 in the first direction. Then, the multiple hinge rods 14421 connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14411 can drive the corresponding abutment 1433, so that the telescopic rod 1432 connected to the abutment 1433 can retract radially relative to the positioning post 1431. At this time, the multiple support parts 143 are close to the center of the turntable 141. At this time, the diameter of the circular structure formed by the multiple support parts 143 is close to the diameter of the tire, so that the tire can be placed on the multiple support parts 143. Alternatively, the above operation can be repeated so that the multiple support parts 143 can be moved away from the inner wall of the tire, so that the tire can be easily removed from the multiple support parts 143.

[0092] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not impose a specific limitation on the number of the aforementioned hinge rods 14421. For example, the number can be set to two, three, five, etc.

[0093] In some possible implementations, each fixing part 140 further includes a second locking bolt 145. The turntable 141 is provided with a third screw hole (not shown in the figure), and the sliding plate 130 is provided with a fourth screw hole (not shown in the figure). The second locking bolt 145 is used to screw into the third screw hole and the fourth screw hole. With this technical solution, the second locking bolt 145 can achieve relative fixation between the turntable 141 and the sliding plate 130. That is, the turntable 141 of this embodiment can rotate circumferentially relative to the sliding plate 130. For example, during grinding, the operator can manually rotate the threaded rod 142 or the turntable 141 to rotate the tires placed on the multiple support parts 143. At this time, it is only necessary to place the grinding device in one processing position and grind by rotating the tires on the fixing part 140, without having to move the grinding device to multiple suitable processing positions, saving time and effort. After grinding is finished, the turntable 141 and the sliding plate 130 can be locked directly by the second locking bolt 145.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes in form and detail, including some simple deductions or substitutions, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
