The specific mechanism of the tire repair assembly will be mainly described below.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a tire repair assembly includes a flexible sealing member 100 and an integral plug 200, the integral plug 200 has elasticity, the integral plug 200 can elastically abut against a cut 310 of a tire 300 to close the cut 310 of the tire 300, the flexible sealing member 100 is wrapped outside the integral plug 200, and the flexible sealing member 100 can be driven by the integral plug 200 to be clamped into the cut 310 of the tire 300, so as to achieve sealing between the integral plug 200 and the cut 310 of the tire 300.
When the tire 300 with the wound 310 is repaired, the flexible sealing element 100 is wrapped outside the integral plug 200, the integral plug 200 can drive the flexible sealing element 100 to be clamped into the wound 310 of the tire 300, the integral plug 200 elastically abuts against the wound 310 of the tire 300 to seal the wound 310 of the tire 300, meanwhile, the integral plug 200 elastically abuts against the flexible sealing element 100 to ensure that the flexible sealing element 100 is clamped into the wound 310 of the tire 300 to realize the sealing between the integral plug 200 and the wound 310 of the tire 300, the repair of the tire 300 is realized by the cooperation of the integral plug 200 and the flexible sealing element 100, the tire 300 is repaired by using the tire repairing assembly of the application, the tire repair can be completed only by inserting the integral plug 200 and the flexible sealing element 100 into the wound 310 of the tire 300 together, the tire 300 is not required to be detached from a vehicle by a special tire dismounting device, and a special maintenance person is not required, the repairing process of the tire 300 is simple and rapid, in addition, the whole plug 200 and the flexible sealing element 100 together plug the wound 310 of the tire 300, so that foreign matters such as stones cannot be inserted into the tire 300 through the outer surface of the tire 300 corresponding to the position of the wound 310, and the tire 300 is not easy to puncture again.
In this embodiment, after the flexible seal 100 is wrapped outside the integral plug 200, the integral plug 200 carries the flexible seal 100 to be inserted into the wound 310 of the tire 300 together, so as to repair the tire 300.
In one embodiment, the wound 310 is a puncture through the outer surface of the tire 300 and the inner surface opposite the outer surface of the tire 300, and the repair of the tire 300 is accomplished by the tire repair assembly, preventing the tire 300 from continuing to leak air through the wound 310.
In one embodiment, the length of the integral plug 200 is adapted to the thickness of the tire 300, in this embodiment, the length of the integral plug 200 is 15-40mm, and specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the tire repair assembly is used to repair a tire 300 having a small size, such as a car tire 300 (radial tire), the length of the integral plug 200 is 15-40mm, as shown in fig. 5, and when the tire repair assembly is used to repair a tire 300 having a large size, such as a truck tire 300 (all steel tire), the length of the integral plug 200 is 25-40 mm.
As shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment, the integral plug 200 includes a main body 210 and an elastic member 230, the elastic member 230 is sleeved on the main body 210, the flexible sealing member 100 can be wrapped outside the main body 210 and the elastic member 230, the elastic member 230 can provide an elastic force to elastically support the integral plug 200 in the wound 310 of the tire 300, and specifically, the main body 210 drives the elastic member 230 to synchronously move during the insertion of the main body 210 into the wound 310 of the tire 300, so that the elastic member 230 is pressed by an inner sidewall of the wound 310 of the tire 300 and follows the insertion of the main body 210 into the wound 310 of the tire 300, after the entire elastic member 230 is inserted into the wound 310 of the tire 300, the compressed elastic member 230 generates a force opposite to the compressed direction, so that the elastic member 230 elastically supports the flexible sealing member 100 wrapped outside the elastic member 230 in the wound 310 of the tire 300.
In one embodiment, the elastic member 230 is annular, the outer diameter of the elastic member 230 is 3-12mm larger than the outer diameter of the main body 210, and specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the tire repair assembly is used to repair a tire 300 having a small size, such as a car tire 300 (radial tire), the outer diameter of the elastic member 230 is 3-10mm larger than the outer diameter of the main body 210, as shown in fig. 5, when the tire repair assembly is used to repair a tire 300 having a large size, such as a truck tire 300 (all steel tire), the outer diameter of the elastic member 230 is 5-12mm larger than the outer diameter of the main body 210.

As shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment, the smallest dimension of the elastic member 230 is the same as the dimension of the elastic member 230 corresponding to the main body 210, so that the transition between the elastic member 230 and the main body 210 is natural, and the main body 210 facilitates the insertion of the elastic member 230 into the wound 310 of the tire 300.
As shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment, the number of the elastic members 230 is multiple, the elastic members 230 are disposed on the main body 210 at intervals, specifically, the main body 210 can more reliably elastically abut against the wound 310 of the tire 300 through the elastic members 230, and the elastic members 230 simultaneously elastically abut against the flexible sealing member 100, so as to more reliably clamp the flexible sealing member 100 into the wound 310 of the tire 300.

In one embodiment, resilient member 230, tip portion 220, and body 210 are integrally formed, thereby facilitating the manufacture of resilient member 230, tip portion 220, and body 210.
As shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, the size of the tip portion 220 gradually decreases from the end of the tip portion 220 connected to the main body 210 to the end of the tip portion 220 away from the main body 210, so that the tip portion 220 is gradually inserted into the wound 310 of the tire 300.
As shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment, the tip portion 220 is conical, and specifically, when the tip portion 220 is inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300, the tip of the tip portion 220 drives the flexible sealing member 100 to be inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300 first, and then the whole stopper 200 is gradually inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300.
In one embodiment, the tip portion 220 can pierce the flexible sealing member 100 to expose the tip of the tip portion 220 to the flexible sealing member 100, so that the tip portion 220 can be more easily inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300, and specifically, when the flexible sealing member 100 is wrapped and bonded outside the main body 210 and the tip portion 220, the tip portion 220 pierces the flexible sealing member 100 to expose the tip of the tip portion 220 to the flexible sealing member 100, without wrapping of the flexible sealing member 100, so that the tip portion 220 can be more easily inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300.
As shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment, the size of the main body 210 gradually increases from the end of the main body 210 connected to the tip portion 220 to the end of the main body 210 far from the tip portion 220, so that the main body 210 is gradually inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300, and specifically, when the tip portion 220 is inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300, the smaller size end of the main body 210 is first inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300, and the whole main body 210 is gradually inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300.

As shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, the smallest dimension of the main body 210 is the same as the dimension of the end of the tip portion 220 connected to the main body 210, so that the transition between the tip portion 220 and the main body 210 is natural, and the tip portion 220 can bring the main body 210 to be inserted into the wound 310 of the tire 300.
In an embodiment, the size of the main body 210 gradually increases from the end of the main body 210 connected with the tip portion 220 to the end of the main body 210 far away from the tip portion 220, and meanwhile, the sizes of the plurality of elastic members 230 arranged on the main body 210 by the spacer sleeve sequentially increase along the axial direction of the main body 210, so that the sizes of the plurality of elastic members 230 are more adapted to the size of the main body 210.
In one embodiment, the flexible seal 100 has a viscosity such that when the flexible seal 100 is carried by the integral plug 200 into the wound 310 of the tire 300, the flexible seal 100 can adhere to the inner sidewall of the wound 310 of the tire 300, thereby making the seal between the integral plug 200 and the wound 310 of the tire 300 more reliable.
In one embodiment, the flexible seal 100 can also be bonded to the outside of the integral plug 200 to prevent the flexible seal 100 from becoming detached from the integral plug 200 when wrapped around the outside of the integral plug 200.
In one embodiment, the flexible seal 100 is capable of withstanding high temperatures and low temperatures, so that the flexible seal 100 is more adaptable to different temperature environments.
In one embodiment, high temperature resistance refers to resistance to temperatures of 90 ℃ to 100 ℃ and low temperature resistance to temperatures of-20 ℃ so that the flexible sealing member 100 can reliably operate in both high temperature environments of 90 ℃ to 100 ℃ and low temperature environments of-20 ℃.
As shown in fig. 2, in an embodiment, the flexible seal member 100 is circular, the outer diameter of the flexible seal member 100 is 6-25mm, and the thickness of the flexible seal member 100 is 2-10 mm, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, when the tire repair assembly is used for repairing a tire 300 having a small size, such as a tire 300 (radial tire) of a passenger car, the outer diameter of the flexible seal member 100 is 6-20mm, and the thickness of the flexible seal member 100 is 2-5 mm, as shown in fig. 5, when the tire repair assembly is used for repairing a tire 300 having a large size, such as a tire 300 (all steel tire) of a truck, the outer diameter of the flexible seal member 100 is 10-25mm, and the thickness of the flexible seal member 100 is 5-10 mm, and specifically, if the size of the flexible seal member 100 is too small, the wound 310 of the tire 300 may not be completely blocked by the flexible seal member 100, if the size of the flexible seal 100 is too large, the flexible seal 100 may not be inserted into the wound 310 of the tire 300 with the integral plug 200.
In one embodiment, when the integral plug 200 is held in the wound 310 of the tire 300, the integral plug 200 can be driven to move axially by the action of external force to change the exposed length of the integral plug 200 relative to the wound 310 of the tire 300.
The integral plug 200 is rotated to drive the integral plug 200 to rotate axially along itself so as to change the leakage length of the integral plug 200 relative to the wound 310 of the tire 300, specifically, after the integral plug 200 wrapping the flexible sealing member 100 is aligned with the wound 310 of the tire 300, the integral plug 200 is rotated to drive the integral plug 200 to rotate axially along itself so as to drive the flexible sealing member 100 to be inserted into the wound 310 of the tire 300 together until the leakage length of the integral plug 200 relative to the wound 310 of the tire 300 is zero.
As shown in fig. 1, in an embodiment, one end of the integral plug 200 is provided with a tool slot 211, an external tool can be matched with the tool slot 211, specifically, the external tool can be inserted into the tool slot 211, and the external tool is rotated to drive the integral plug 200 to rotate along the axial direction of the integral plug 200, so as to change the leakage length of the integral plug 200 relative to the wound 310 of the tire 300.
As shown in FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the tool recess 211 is located on an end of the body 210 distal from the tip portion 220.
In one embodiment, the tool recess 211 is exposed to the flexible seal 100 such that the tool recess 211 is not interfered with by the flexible seal 100 when mated with an external tool.
In an embodiment, after the integral plug 200 is required to drive the flexible sealing member 100 to be inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300, if the flexible sealing member 100 does not completely seal the gap between the integral plug 200 and the cut 310 of the tire 300, so that the cut 310 of the tire 300 still has a perforation to cause air leakage of the tire 300, at this time, an external tool is inserted into the tool groove 211, and the external tool is rotated to drive the integral plug 200 wrapping the flexible sealing member 100 to rotate through the tool groove 211, so that the flexible sealing member 100 completely seals the gap between the integral plug 200 and the cut 310 of the tire 300, so that the cut 310 of the tire 300 is completely sealed by the flexible sealing member 100 and the integral plug 200.
In one embodiment, the tool recess 211 is a cross-shaped recess, as shown in FIG. 1, and in another embodiment, the tool recess 211 is a straight recess, as shown in FIG. 4, it being understood that in other embodiments, the tool recess 211 may have other shapes, so long as the tool recess 211 is capable of cooperating with an external tool to effect rotation of the integral plug 200.
In one embodiment, when the integral plug 200 is held in the wound 310 of the tire 300, the integral plug 200 is pushed by external force, so that the integral plug 200 can move along the axial direction of the integral plug under the pushing action of the external force, to vary the length of the overall plug 200 that leaks relative to the wound 310 of the tire 300, and in particular, after the overall plug 200 that wraps around the flexible seal 100 is aligned with the wound 310 of the tire 300, the integral plug 200 is pushed by external force, so that the integral plug 200 can move along the axial direction of the integral plug under the pushing action of the external force, the flexible sealing element 100 is driven to be inserted into the wound 310 of the tire 300 together, until the leakage length of the integral plug 200 with respect to the wound 310 of the tyre 300 is zero, in this embodiment, when it is desired to insert the integral plug 200 with the flexible seal 100 into the wound 310 of the tire 300, the integral plug 200 can be directly knocked by using a knocking tool, so that the integral plug 200 can carry the flexible seal 100 into the wound 310 of the tire 300 under the pushing action of an external force.
To achieve the above object, the present invention further provides a method of using the tire repair assembly, comprising:
checking whether the cut 310 of the tire 300 has the inserted foreign matter, and if so, taking the foreign matter out of the cut 310 of the tire 300;
wrapping the flexible seal 100 over the integral plug 200;
the integral plug 200 drives the flexible sealing member 100 to be inserted into the cut 310 of the tire 300, so that the integral plug 200 elastically abuts against the cut 310 of the tire 300 to close the cut 310 of the tire 300, and the flexible sealing member 100 can be driven by the integral plug 200 to be clamped into the cut 310 of the tire 300, so that sealing between the integral plug 200 and the cut 310 of the tire 300 is realized.
