The invention relates to the field of aviation ground facilities and specifically relates to a wheel holding mechanism of a rodless aircraft tractor. The wheel holding mechanism comprises a frame, a main lifting connecting rod, an auxiliary lifting connecting rod, a lifting oil cylinder, a swing main shaft, a swing support, a compression support, a compression oil cylinder and a clamping device, and is characterized in that the wheel holding mechanism is provided with a pushing device, the pushing device comprises a pushing main plate, a pushing oil cylinder, sliding blocks, positioning plates, an upper positioning plate and a lower positioning plate, the pushing oil cylinder is arranged at the lower end of a support platform, the pushing main plate is arranged on one side, the other end of the pushing oil cylinder is hinged with the pushing main plate through a pin shaft, the two ends of the pushing main plate are respectively fixedly connected with the positioning plates, the upper positioning plate and the lower positioning plate are arranged on the outer sides of the positioning plates, the upper positioning plate is in sliding connection with the upper end surface of a support arm via the sliding block, the lower positioning plate is in sliding connection with the lower end surface of the support arm via the sliding block, and then the pushing main plate can move rectilinearly along the support arm. When a front nose gear of an aircraft is clamped, brake constraint can be simultaneously performed on aircraft wheels by at least three points, namely the compression support, a clamping jaw and the pushing main plate, so that the potential safety hazard caused by two-point brake constraint can be solved, the traction safety can be greatly improved and the using risks of airports and airline companies can be further reduced.
