Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a tire torque device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1, a foot 2 fixed at the bottom corner of the base 1, a base 3 fixed on one side of the top of the base 1, a lifting rod 4 fixed at the middle of the top of the base 3, and a top frame 5 connected to the output end of the lifting rod 4.

[0028] A rotating seat 6 is connected to one side of the bottom of the top frame 5. A support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 6, and a sliding groove 8 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 7. A sleeve 9 is fixedly provided at the middle of the bottom end of the support frame 7. A slot for the linkage rod to move is provided on the side wall of the sleeve 9, and the slots are evenly distributed along the center point of the sleeve 9. A cylinder 10 is fixedly provided at the middle of the bottom end of the rotating seat 6, and the output end of the cylinder 10 is connected to a first movable seat 11. A first linkage rod 12 is connected to the side wall of the first movable seat 11, and the other end of the first linkage rod 12 is connected to a movable seat 13. One end of the first linkage rod 12 is connected to the first movable seat 11 through a connecting ear. The first linkage rod 12 is rotatably connected to the second linkage rod 15 through a shaft. The inner side of the first linkage rod 12 is provided with a slot for the second linkage rod 15 to move. The top of the movable seat 13 is fixedly provided with a slider 14. The top side of the movable seat 13 is rotatably connected to the second linkage rod 15, and the other end of the second linkage rod 15 is connected to the second movable seat 16. The two ends of the second linkage rod 15 are rotatably connected to the movable seat 13 and the second movable seat 16 respectively. The second linkage rod 15 is equidistantly distributed along the center point of the second movable seat 16. The side wall of the movable seat 13 is fixedly provided with a bolt torque device 17.

[0029] In use, the lifting rod 4 is first used to adjust the longitudinal position of the top frame 5, facilitating subsequent adjustment of the bolt torque converter 17's position. This allows for better tire installation. Once the bolt torque converter 17 is adjusted, it aligns with the bolts on the tire, enabling proper tire installation. When adjusting the spacing between multiple bolt torque converters 17 to accommodate tires of different sizes, the cylinder 10 longitudinally pushes the first movable seat 11 fixedly connected to its bottom. The first movable seat 11 then longitudinally pushes the first linkage rod 12, which is rotatably connected to its sidewall via the connecting lug. The first linkage rod 12 pushes the movable seat 13, which is rotatably connected to its other end via a shaft. At the same time, since the first linkage rod 12 and the second linkage rod 15 are rotatably connected via a bearing seat, when the first linkage rod 12 moves, the second linkage rod 15 will also drive the second movable seat 16 to move longitudinally. Simultaneously, the second linkage rod 15 will also push the movable seat 13, which in turn causes the movable seat 13 to drive the slider 14 to slide along the slide groove 8 opened at the bottom of the support frame 7. This improves the stability of the movable seat 13 during its movement and enables the movable seat 13 to expand outward. Conversely, when the cylinder 10 retracts, the movable seat 13 can be reset. This allows the movement of the movable seat 13 to adjust the distance between the bolt torquers 17.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, a tire support seat 18 is fixedly provided on the side of the top of the base 1 away from the base 3, and a working platform 19 is fixedly provided on the top of the tire support seat 18. A rubber pad 20 is provided on the upper surface of the working platform 19, and the rubber pad 20 is equidistantly distributed along the center point of the working platform 19.

[0031] When in use, place the tire to be installed on the working platform 19 at the top of the tire support 18, and make the tire contact with the rubber pad 20. The rubber pad 20 is used to protect and prevent the tire from slipping, ensuring the stability of the tire during subsequent installation. Once the tire is in place, it is easy to proceed with the subsequent installation.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the slide grooves 8 are equidistantly distributed along the bottom center point of the support frame 7, and the slide grooves 8 and the support frame 7 form an integrated structure.

[0033] When in use, since there are five slides 8 and the number of slides 8 is the same as the number of movable seats 13, when the movable seat 13 moves, it will drive the slider 14 to slide along the slides 8.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the two ends of the first linkage rod 12 are rotatably connected to the first movable seat 11 and the movable seat 13 respectively through connecting ears, and the first linkage rod 12 is equidistantly distributed along the center point of the first movable seat 11.

[0035] In use, the longitudinal movement of the first movable seat 11 will push the first linkage rod 12, which is rotatably connected to its side wall, and then the first linkage rod 12 will push the movable seat 13, which is rotatably connected to its other end, so as to facilitate the subsequent adjustment of the distance between the movable seats 13.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the movable seat 13 is slidably connected to the support frame 7 via the slider 14, and the movable seat 13 is equidistantly distributed along the center point of the sleeve 9.

[0037] When in use, the movable seat 13, driven by the linkage rod, will cause the slider 14 to slide along the slide groove 8, thereby improving the stability of the movable seat 13 during lateral movement.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the rubber pads 20 are equidistantly distributed along the center point of the work platform 19, and the rubber pads 20 are made of rubber material.

[0039] When in use, the tire is placed on the upper surface of the work platform 19 and comes into contact with the rubber pad 20. The rubber pad 20 is used to effectively protect the tire and also to prevent slippage.

[0040] In summary, during use, the tire to be installed is placed on the upper surface of the work platform 19. Then, the lifting rod 4 adjusts the longitudinal position of the top frame 5. The movement of the top frame 5 adjusts the position of the bolt torque converter 17. Once the bolt torque converter 17 is adjusted, it aligns with the bolts on the tire, facilitating subsequent tire installation. When adjusting the spacing between multiple bolt torque converters 17 to accommodate tires of different sizes, the cylinder 10 pushes the first movable seat 11. The movable seat 11 pushes the first linkage rod 12, which in turn pushes the movable seat 13. At the same time, when the first linkage rod 12 moves, it causes the second linkage rod 15 to drive the second movable seat 16 to move longitudinally. The second linkage rod 15 also pushes the movable seat 13, which in turn causes the movable seat 13 to drive the slider 14 to slide along the groove 8 opened at the bottom of the support frame 7. This improves the stability of the movable seat 13 during its movement and enables the movable seat 13 to expand outward. Conversely, when the cylinder 10 retracts, the movable seat 13 can be reset. This allows the movement of the movable seat 13 to adjust the distance between the bolt torquers 17.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
