[0002] With the continued rapid growth of car ownership and the increasing awareness of driving safety, the demand for accurate and efficient tire wear detection is becoming increasingly urgent. However, existing detection equipment generally suffers from a pressing problem in practical applications: difficulty in clamping tires. Due to the wide variety of tire sizes and specifications, tires used in different car models vary significantly in diameter, width, and sidewall thickness. Existing clamping devices often struggle to adapt flexibly to tires of various sizes, requiring considerable time for adjustments or even replacement of different clamps, thus affecting the accuracy of the detection results.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a tire wear detection device includes: a workbench 1, a base 2, a clamping mechanism, and a detection mechanism. The base 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the workbench 1. A mounting bracket 3 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the workbench 1. A clamping mechanism for automatically clamping the tire is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 2. A detection mechanism for adjusting and measuring the tire is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 3.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a first placement box 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 2. A first motor 5 is fixedly mounted inside the first placement box 4. A guide bracket 6 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 5. A second placement box 7 is fixedly mounted on the central axis of the guide bracket 6. A second motor 8 is fixedly mounted inside the second placement box 7. A clamping bracket 9 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the second placement box 7. A guide disk 10 is rotatably mounted on the center of the clamping bracket 9. The output end of the second motor 8 is fixedly connected to the central axis of the guide disk 10. A guide groove 11 is opened inside the guide disk 10. A sliding bracket 12 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the clamping bracket 9. A clamping claw 13 is slidably mounted on the sliding bracket 12.

[0027] A lever is fixedly provided at the end of the gripper 13. The lever is inserted into the guide groove 11, and the guide groove 11 guides the lever when the guide disc 10 rotates. By setting up the first placement box 4 and the second placement box 7, the first motor 5 and the second motor 8 can be protected during operation, thereby improving the durability of the motors. By setting up the guide bracket 6, the tire can be supported when installing the tire, thereby improving the operator's work efficiency.

[0028] The first motor 5 rotates, driving the guide bracket 6 to rotate, thereby controlling the tire's rotation and facilitating inspection by the testing mechanism. When installing the tire, the operator uses the support unit to press the tire against the guide bracket 6. Then, the second motor 8 rotates, driving the guide disc 10 to rotate. The rotation of the guide disc 10 causes the guide groove 11 to rotate, allowing the guide groove 11 to control the sliding of the clamping claw 13 against the inner wall of the sliding bracket 12 via a lever at the end of the clamping claw 13. This achieves tire clamping from the inside, enabling rapid and automatic tire clamping and facilitating tire wear inspection.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the testing mechanism includes a third motor 14 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 3, two sliders 15 slidingly mounted on the inner wall of the worktable 1, a bidirectional screw 16 rotating on the inner wall of the third motor 14, the bidirectional screw 16 being threadedly connected to the two sliders 15, the output end of the third motor 14 being fixedly connected to the end of the bidirectional screw 16, a testing bracket 17 fixedly mounted on the top of the sliders 15, and a testing head 18 fixedly mounted on the top of the testing bracket 17.

[0030] The bidirectional screw 16 has threads in opposite directions and is threaded to the sliders 15 on both sides respectively. The inner wall of the worktable 1 has a sliding groove that matches the slider 15, so that the slider 15 can slide and adjust inside the worktable 1.

[0031] The output of the third motor 14 drives the bidirectional screw 16 to rotate. Since the threads on the left and right sides of the bidirectional screw 16 are opposite, the bidirectional screw 16 drives the two sliders 15 connected to it to slide in opposite directions inside the worktable 1, thereby adjusting the distance of the detection head 18 on the detection bracket 17, and thus adjusting the appropriate measurement position according to the size of the tire.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a support unit is fixedly provided on the top of the workbench 1 to assist the operator in installing the tire onto the clamping mechanism.

[0033] The support unit includes a support bracket 19 fixedly mounted on the top of the workbench 1, a sliding base 20 slidably mounted on the top of the support bracket 19, a placement rack 21 fixedly mounted on the top of the sliding base 20, a roller 22 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the sliding base 20, and a limiting plate 23 fixedly mounted on the top of the support bracket 19.

[0034] The top of the support bracket 19 is provided with a sliding groove that is compatible with the roller 22, so that the sliding base 20 can slide along the sliding groove through the roller 22. The placement rack 21 is arc-shaped and the inner wall is provided with a slot that is compatible with the tire.

[0035] The operator can first place the tire on the placement rack 21, and then push the sliding base 20. The sliding base 20 slides on the top of the support bracket 19 via the roller 22 and gradually approaches the guide bracket 6, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the tire, saves the operator the labor cost of moving the tire, and brings convenience to the operator.

[0036] The above embodiment discloses a tire wear detection device. A first motor 5 drives a guide bracket 6 to rotate at a uniform speed, causing the tire to rotate synchronously, providing dynamic detection conditions for the detection mechanism. During installation, the operator presses the tire against the preset position of the guide bracket 6 using the support unit. After the second motor 8 starts, it drives the guide disc 10 to rotate. The guide groove 11 on its surface is linked to the lever at the end of the clamping claw 13, forcing the clamping claw 13 to radially retract along the inner wall of the sliding bracket 12, achieving multi-point synchronous clamping from the inside of the tire, significantly improving wear detection efficiency and positioning accuracy. A third motor 14 drives a bidirectional screw 16 to rotate. Its positive and negative thread structure drives the sliders 15 on both sides to move in opposite directions, synchronously adjusting the spacing of the detection head 18 on the detection bracket 17. After the operator pre-places the tire on the placement rack 21, they push the sliding base 20 to slide along the roller 22 on the top of the support bracket 19, causing the tire to automatically align with the guide bracket 6. The rolling friction design of the roller 22 reduces handling resistance, eliminating the need for manual lifting, thus balancing efficiency and safety.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
