The top end of the rotary shaft 309 is fixedly connected to a rotary disk 301. The top of the rotary disk 301 is provided with a moving groove 302. The top of the rotary disk 301 is movably connected to a moving slide plate 303 through the moving groove 302. The top of the moving slide plate 303 is fixedly connected to a fixed arm 304.

[0029] Furthermore, an adjustment motor 108 is installed on the front of the detection base 101. An adjustment screw 109 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the adjustment motor 108. An adjustment nut seat 110 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the adjustment screw 109. The adjustment nut seat 110 is fixedly connected to the adjustment plate 106. By starting the adjustment motor 108, the adjustment motor 108 drives the adjustment screw 109 to rotate. The adjustment nut seat 110, due to the rotation direction of the adjustment screw 109, drives the adjustment plate 106 to move through the adjustment groove 105, thereby adjusting the position of the bottom visual detector 107.

[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the detection base 101 is fixedly connected with support legs 102. There are four support legs 102, which are located at the four corners of the bottom of the detection base 101. The support legs 102 make the detection device more stable and less prone to shaking.

[0031] Furthermore, a lifting motor 208 is installed on the top of the lifting frame 202. A lifting screw 209 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the lifting motor 208. A lifting nut seat 210 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lifting screw 209. The lifting nut seat 210 is fixedly connected to the lifting slide plate 204.

By starting the moving motor 305, the moving motor 305 drives the moving lead screw 306 to rotate clockwise. The moving nut seat 307 drives the fixed arm 304 on the moving slide plate 303 to move through the moving groove 302. At this time, the fixed arm 304 can support the inner wall of the tire, thereby fixing the tire.

[0034] Working Principle: After installation, the first step is to check the installation, fixation, and safety features of this utility model. When using the tire inspection device, the operator positions the tire in the installation unit 3, ensuring the tire opening passes through the fixed arm 304 and is positioned on the rotating disk 301. The operator then starts the moving motor 305, which drives the moving screw 306 to rotate clockwise. The moving nut seat 307 then moves the fixed arm 304 on the moving slide plate 303 through the moving groove 302. At this point, the fixed arm 304 supports the inner wall of the tire, thus fixing it in place. After installation, the operator starts the lifting motor 208, which drives the lifting screw 209 to rotate. The lifting nut seat 210, due to the rotation direction of the lifting screw 209, moves the lifting slide plate 204 up and down through the lifting groove 203, thereby adjusting the height of the top visual detector 206 and simultaneously adjusting the arm. The top surface visual detector 206 is moved back and forth to adjust its position, while the adjusting motor 108 drives the adjusting screw 109 to rotate. The adjusting nut seat 110, due to the rotation direction of the adjusting screw 109, causes the adjusting plate 106 to move through the adjusting groove 105, thereby adjusting the position of the bottom surface visual detector 107. After adjustment, the operator starts the rotary motor 308, which drives the rotary disk 301 to rotate through the rotating shaft 309. At this time, the side visual detector 104, the bottom surface visual detector 107, and the top surface visual detector 206 take pictures of the side, upper, and lower surfaces of the tire, respectively. The pictures are transmitted to the image processing engineering machine 207 for image processing analysis and detection of appearance defects such as scratches, cracks, bubbles, and missing glue on the tire surface. This completes the use of this utility model. This utility model has a simple structure and is safe and convenient to use.
