Project Overview
This project is intended to design and manufacture an automotive tire changing
mechanism. Initially, the general idea behind this mechanism was to have a power source
that’s connected through a shaft to a gear train that has a driver gear, and 5 driven gears
that are connected with spanners to unscrew lug nuts simultaneously. But after we
finalized the calculations, conceptual design and searched for the available materials in
the market we changed the design completely and it will be shown and discussed in the
next chapters. This project is very important to tire manufacturing companies and
workshops, as it can be very efficient and time saving.
Project Objectives
When it comes to changing tires, most people find it exhausting and time consuming,
because of the traditional way used for changing tires, which is using the tire lug wrench.
Due to the difficulties that people face in changing tires, we came up with the idea of this
project which is to make the procedure of changing tires much easier and time saving.
This project has two main objectives, which are designing and manufacturing an
automotive tire changing mechanism, reduce the time taken to change tires and
optimizing the weight of the prototype.
