Abstract:
A tire removing device, which is disposed on a wheel rim of a large vehicle for removing a tire, includes a seat provided with a first end and a second end, the first end movably clamping a wheel disk of the wheel rim; a power cylinder disposed on the second end of the seat and provided with a cylinder body and a moving shaft movable against the cylinder body; and a tire removable plate connected to an end of the moving shaft. When the power cylinder is put in operation, the tire removable plate pushes the inner edge of the tire, so as to remove the tire from the wheel rim.
Abstract:
The bead breaking unit includes: a bead breaking arm having a substantially horizontal longitudinal direction, a first extremity hinged to the base frame of a tyre changing machine around a substantially vertical rotation axis and an opposite second extremity having a bead breaking tool; an operating actuator for moving the bead breaking arm interposed between the base frame and the bead breaking arm; and a control lever, associated with the bead breaking arm in proximity of the second extremity for controlling the operating actuator, wherein the control lever is hinged around an oscillation axis substantially horizontal and parallel to the longitudinal direction and is associated with return elements for maintaining the control lever in a substantially vertical balance position, the actuator being controlled in a first direction for bead breaking the tyre when the control lever is rotated towards the wheel starting from the balance position.
Abstract:
A wheel servicing machine has a bead loosener arm powered by an actuator attached to a machine base. The actuator includes a moveable actuator rod coupled to the bead loosener arm at a pivoting joint. The pivoting joint includes a joint having two or more angular degrees of freedom, such as a ball joint, in some embodiments. The pivoting joint allows the actuator rod end to pivot both in a major plane of rotation substantially parallel to the movement of the bead loosener arm as well as in one or more minor vertical planes. In some embodiments, the pivoting joint includes a socket positioned around a ball, forming a ball joint. The socket is coupled to the actuator rod, and a pin is disposed through a passage in the ball to pivotally secure the ball joint to the bead loosener arm.
Abstract:
The machine (10) for fitting/removing a tyre includes: a bedplate (12) for resting on the ground; a spindle (16), mounted on the bedplate and configured to tighten a rim of a wheel thereon; a demounting tool, mounted on the bedplate and able to remove a tyre from the rim when the wheel is loaded on the spindle; a bead breaking arm (30), movably connected to the bedplate and having a bead breaking tool (32) able to bead break the tyre from the rim; a lifting member (52, 54, 56), movably connected to the bedplate and able to lift the wheel to load it on the spindle after bead breaking; and an operating device (40) which is selectively connectable either to the bead breaking arm or to the lifting member and able to operate the bead breaking arm or the lifting member according to choice.
Abstract:
The bead breaking unit (1) for tire changing machines (A) includes one arm (2) associated rotatable with a supporting structure (3), a bead breaking tool (4) associated with the arm (2) and a movement apparatus (5) associated with the arm (2) and suitable for moving the arm (2) from a disengagement position, wherein the bead breaking tool (4) is substantially moved away from the tire (B) of a wheel (D) to undergo bead breaking, to an operating position, wherein the bead breaking tool (4) is engaged on the tire (B). The arm (2) includes an adjustment apparatus (9) for adjusting the position of the bead breaking tool (4) along a near/away direction to/from the wheel (D), suitable for adjusting the position of the bead breaking tool (4) when the arm (2) is in the disengagement position, depending on the sizes and/or type of the wheel (D).
Abstract:
The tyre-changing machine includes: a bed for resting on the ground; a spindle extending from the bed and for mounting thereon a wheel having a rim and a tyre with a first flank and a second flank, the spindle configured to tighten the rim thereon so as to fix an imaginary axis of rotation of the wheel, with the first flank arranged in a distal position with respect to the bed and the second flank in a proximal position with respect to the bed; and a demounting tool having a non-rolling contact surface for contacting and pushing the second flank in a direction away from the bed until extracting the first flank from the rim, the spindle and the demounting tool being reciprocally movable along a direction substantially parallel to the axis with a stroke extending between two ends, to push the tyre out of the rim during the stroke.
Abstract:
A wheel servicing machine has a bead loosener arm powered by an actuator attached to a machine base. The actuator includes a moveable actuator rod coupled to the bead loosener arm at a pivoting joint. The pivoting joint includes a joint having two or more angular degrees of freedom, such as a ball joint, in some embodiments. The pivoting joint allows the actuator rod end to pivot both in a major plane of rotation substantially parallel to the movement of the bead loosener arm as well as in one or more minor vertical planes. In some embodiments, the pivoting joint includes a socket positioned around a ball, forming a ball joint. The socket is coupled to the actuator rod, and a pin is disposed through a passage in the ball to pivotally secure the ball joint to the bead loosener arm.
Abstract:
The bead breaking unit (1) for tyre changing machines includes an arm (2) associated revolving with a supporting structure (3), a bead breaking tool (4) associated with the arm (2), at least a movement device (6) operatively associated with the arm (2) and suitable for moving the arm (2) from a disengaging position, wherein the bead breaking tool (4) is substantially moved away from a tyre of a wheel to undergo bead breaking, to an operating position, wherein the bead breaking tool (4) is suitable for engaging on the tyre, the arm (2) having at least a tilting device (7) of the bead breaking tool (4) suitable for allowing the partial rotation of the bead breaking tool (4) when it is engaged on the tyre, an adjustment arrangement (11) for adjusting the angular position of the bead breaking tool (4) and at least an activation/deactivation device (12) of the tilting device (7).
Abstract:
A winch powered tire bead breaker has a static support arm for temporarily mounting the bead breaker to a vehicle mountable winch and bracing there against. The bead breaker further has a moveable arm that is pivotally connected to the static support arm which is moveable relative to the static support arm. A working end of the winch can be releasably secured to the moveable arm and the winch actuated for moving the moveable arm from an open position to its closed position. The sidewalls of a wheel mounted tire, positioned between the moveable and static support arms, are squeezed as the moveable arm is actuated into its closed position for breaking a tire bead.
Abstract:
A tool for tire uninstalling and installing machines includes an element for connection to a movable bearing member of the tire uninstalling and installing machine, which has a longitudinal axis, and a round contact element which is freely and rotatably supported by said connection member about a rotation axis and which has an external outline in contact with a contact portion of a side of a tire installed to a rim, the round element having a flared contacting and lifting surface suitable to contact and lift the tire from the rim, which has a base facing toward the rim and defining a first opposed vertex, touching means extending from the base toward the rim for touching a portion of the rim.
