Design of Tire Changer

Abstract

In present situation in case of tire worn-out or air leakage in heavy and light vehicles, conventional way of mounting and dismounting of tire from the rim plays a great role. The conventional method which involves hammers and rods for removing the tire from heavy wheels leads to the chances of tire wear, could lead to serious injuries, consumes more efforts, time and wasting of different equipment’s. In the present context of market situation, there is always a need for better design of the equipment with the maximum reduction in cost. Additionally, the human comfort which enables a person to operates it with ease and least consumption of human effort the tire changer equipment is used by vulcanizing shops, retailers of tires, tire re-treading works and servicing stations for easy tire demounting and mounting operation from and/or on to the wheel disc/rim. This paper presents the tire changer machine with no need of manpower and only a single person can do the entire job in a short period of time. The main objective of this paper is to design of tire and rim inserter and separator machine, which is operated electrically, mechanically, pneumatically, and less human effort.
