Abstract
Device for automatically separating the tire and the rim in a vehicle wheel. The feed-in device feeds in vehicle wheels and a press-in device is located in an inactive position at a distance from the rim edge and is shifted to an active position. Press-in members are adjusted in the direction of the rim in order to press in the rim edge, whereafter the rim can be pressed out. The press-in device with a number of press-in elements forms a unit, which is movably suspended from a frame in which the wheel is placed in position to separate the tire and the rim. Feed-out devices feed out the separated rims to a first collection point and the separated tires to a second collection point.
Claims9
A device for automatically separating the tire and the rim in a vehicle wheel and provided with a feed-in device for the feed-in of vehicle wheels comprising:
- a device for exposing one rim edge,
- a press-in device with press-in elements which in an inactive position are located at a distance from said rim edge and are designed to be shifted to an active position in which press-in members are adjusted in the direction of the rim in order to press in said rim edge and a device for setting aside the separated rims to a collection point for rims, and
- a device for feeding out the separated tires to another collection point, the press-in device forming a coherent unit which supports the press-in elements and the unit being movably suspended, by means of a power device, from a frame relative to which the tire is positioned, so that the unit can be shifted between a set-aside, passive position and an active position, brought up to the wheel to be separated, in which one rim edge is exposed, characterized in that the press-in elements can be actively shifted for press-in motion toward the rim edge, in that the unit is realized as a carrier, around which the active press-in elements are firmly fitted in a star-shaped structure, and in that the carrier has members for compressing the tire in order to expose one rim edge.
