Maintenance systems and methods for a wheel assembly of an amusement ride vehicle
A maintenance assembly for a wheel assembly of an amusement ride vehicle includes a foundational body, a wheel engagement section extending a first distance from the foundational body, and a datum section including a protrusion extending a second distance from the foundational body. The wheel engagement section is configured to contact a wheel surface of the wheel assembly, and the datum section is configured to contact a pad of the wheel assembly. Additionally, the wheel engagement section is rigidly positioned with respect to the datum section, and the second distance is greater than the first distance, such that the maintenance assembly provides a fixed distance between a surface of the datum section configured to contact the pad and a surface of the wheel engagement section configured to contact the wheel surface.
Tire centering fixture
The disclosure provides a tire centering fixture including: a gear, a first rack, a second rack, a third rack, a shaft sleeve, and a guide cylinder. The first rack, the second rack, and the third rack are engaged with the gear. The gear is disposed around the shaft sleeve; the gear and the shaft sleeve are disposed on the guide cylinder. The guide cylinder includes a central cavity and a base wall. The base wall includes a central hole and a circular recess; a lower end of the shaft sleeve is in movable fit with the circular recess of the base wall, and a lower end face thereof is flush with the bottom surface of the circular recess. A locating base is disposed on the upper end face of the guide cylinder and is fixed on the guide cylinder. The locating base functions as an end cover.

System for automatic wheel alignment adjustment
A system for automatic wheel alignment adjustment of a vehicle in an inspection line is provided. The system is disposed under a mounting table mounted with a vehicle and includes a front wheel adjustment apparatus disposed in correspondence with a front wheel of the vehicle and configured to adjust alignment of the front wheel by adjusting a tie-rod and a lock-nut employed in a linkage structure of the front wheel, a rear wheel moving apparatus disposed in correspondence with a rear wheel of the vehicle and slidable in a vehicle width direction, and a rear wheel adjustment apparatus disposed in correspondence with the rear wheel of the vehicle, connectable to the rear wheel moving apparatus, and configured to adjust alignment of the rear wheel by adjusting a cam-bolt and a cam-nut employed in a linkage structure of the rear wheel.
quick tire self-centering clamp
The present disclosure relates to a quick tire self-centering clamp, including a clamp body assembly, a gear and rack transmission mechanism and a locking mechanism, where the clamp body assembly includes a seat body and three guide rails, each of the guide rails is provided with a sliding seat, and a gripping jaw for holding a tire tightly is fixed on the sliding seat; the gear and rack transmission mechanism includes three racks, one end of each of the racks is fixedly connected to the sliding seat and is parallel to the guide rail in opposite directions, a central shaft sleeve is mounted in the seat body, a gear is fixed on the central shaft sleeve; the locking mechanism includes a ratchet, a positioning pin rod and a positioning pin telescopic component. the gear and rack transmission mechanism can increase the adjustment stroke of the clamp.

CLAMP APPLICABLE TO A WHEEL TYRE AND METHOD FOR APPLYING A CLAMP
A clamp (100) applicable to a tyre (P) on a vehicle wheel (R) and including a body (10) that includes a plurality of arms (11, 12, 13) angularly distributed around a central axis (X) and a plurality of sliders (21, 22, 23), each slidably coupled to a respective arm (11, 12, 13). The clamp (100) also includes an operating mechanism configured to allow simultaneously moving the sliders (21, 22, 23) from a retracted position to an extracted position and vice versa. The plurality of sliders (21, 22, 23) includes a rolling support system configured to come into direct contact with the tyre (P) and rotatable idly about an axis of rotation.
