Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of spare tire retractors, specifically a spare tire retractor for large trucks. Background Technology
[0002] In actual operation, large vehicles frequently experience tire damage such as blowouts and bulges during transportation due to harsh construction site environments and rugged roads. The large height of the vehicle above the ground and the weight of the spare tire make retraction and deployment difficult, requiring a single person to operate, and posing a risk of injury from falling during the process. Repair and replacement at a service center are also costly. Patent publication number CN209395910U describes a heavy-duty vehicle spare tire retraction and deployment device, including a retraction and deployment mechanism connected to a fixed bracket assembly. This mechanism is capable of telescopic and downward or pitching movements. A boom assembly is rotatably connected to the retraction and deployment mechanism, with its lower end hanging freely and connected to the spare tire. However, this device suffers from problems such as complex structure and large space occupation. Utility Model Content

Example
[0021] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a spare tire retractor for large trucks, including a hydraulic telescopic component 2, a slewing support 3, and a spare tire retracting / unloading swing arm 4. In this embodiment, the hydraulic telescopic component 2 is an electro-hydraulic actuator. The fixed end of the hydraulic telescopic component 2 is hinged to a double-eared hinge support 1. The slewing support 3 and the spare tire retracting / unloading swing arm 4 are both located below the double-eared hinge support 1, and a slewing linkage mechanism 5 is provided between the slewing support 3 and the spare tire retracting / unloading swing arm 4 and the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic component 2. The slewing linkage mechanism 5 includes a horizontally arranged... The telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic component 2 is hinged to a rotating arm 52 and a pulling arm 53 via a pin 51. The rotating arm 52 is hinged to the rotating support 3 via a horizontally arranged pin 54, and the pulling arm 53 is hinged to the spare tire retraction swing arm 4 via a horizontally arranged pin 55. The hinged end of the spare tire retraction swing arm 4 is movably connected to the rotating support 3 via a horizontally arranged pin 56. The swing end of the spare tire retraction swing arm 4 is provided with a spare tire mounting bracket 41, and the pin 56 is located between the pins 54 and 55.
[0022] Please refer to the following: Figure 3-6The hinge plate 31 on the slewing support 3 is an H-shaped double-ear hinge plate structure, and the spare tire retraction arm 4 is a square tube structure; two slewing arms 52 and two pull arms 53 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the telescopic end of the hydraulic telescopic component 2 on the first pin 51, and the ends of the first pin 51, the second pin 54, the third pin 55 and the fourth pin 56 are all fixed with shaft elastic retaining rings 59; the slewing arm 52 is located outside the pull arm 53, and the first pin 51 is located on top of the second pin 56. Bushing 1 57 is provided between the telescopic ends of the pull arm 53 and the hydraulic telescopic component 2; bushing 2 58 is provided on pin 1 51 between the pull arm 53 and the slewing arm 52; bushing 3 510 is provided on pin 2 54 between the slewing support 3 and the slewing arm 52; bushing 4 511 is provided on pin 3 55 between the pull arm 53 and the spare tire retraction swing arm 4; bushing 512 is provided on pin 4 56 between the pull arm 53 and the slewing support 3.
[0023] The spare tire mounting bracket 41 is a disc structure, and bolt holes 411 are equally spaced on the outer circumference of the spare tire mounting bracket 41. A reinforcing rib 42 is welded to the back of the spare tire mounting bracket 41, and the reinforcing rib 42 is welded to the spare tire retraction swing arm 4.
[0024] Please combine participation Figure 7-8 When in use: fix the slewing support 3 on the vehicle body floor 600, fix the double-ear hinge support 1 on the vehicle body connecting frame 700 provided on the vehicle body floor 600, and fix the spare tire 800 on the spare tire mounting frame 41 through bolts; under normal circumstances, the spare tire 800 is placed on the vehicle body floor 600.
[0025] When a truck tire is damaged and the spare tire 800 needs to be replaced, the extension end of the hydraulic telescopic component 2 pushes the first pin 51 to make the rotary arm 52 rotate around the second pin 54. At the same time, under the pushing force of the pull arm 53, the spare tire retraction swing arm 4 rotates around the fourth pin 56. The spare tire retraction swing arm 4 swings downward until the spare tire retraction swing arm 4 places the spare tire 800 on the ground.

[0026] The old tire is fixed to the spare tire mounting bracket 41 with bolts. The extension end of the hydraulic telescopic component 2 retracts and pulls the first pin 51, causing the rotary arm 52 to rotate around the second pin 54. At the same time, under the pulling force of the pull arm 53, the spare tire retraction swing arm 4 rotates around the fourth pin 56. The spare tire retraction swing arm 4 swings upward until it places the old tire on the vehicle body floor 600.
[0027] The spare tire retractor disclosed in this embodiment uses a hydraulic telescopic component 2 to extend and drive a rotary linkage mechanism 5, causing the spare tire retractor arm 4 to swing vertically. This allows the spare tire 800 on the vehicle floor 600 to swing and be placed on the ground, or an old tire removed from the ground to swing and be placed on the vehicle floor 600. The spare tire 800 is retracted and deployed safely, labor-savingly, efficiently, and simply, preventing it from falling off. The rotary linkage mechanism 5 provides stable support for the swing of the spare tire retractor arm 4 through pin 1 51, pin 2 54, pin 3 55, rotary arm 52, and pull arm 53. The rotary linkage mechanism 5 has a stable structure and high strength. The wear of the rotary linkage mechanism 5 during operation is reduced by bushing 1 57, bushing 2 58, bushing 3 510, bushing 4 511, and bushing 512. This spare tire retractor has a simple structure, occupies little space, is safe and convenient to use, operates stably and reliably, and has a long service life.
