[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tractor technology, specifically to a tractor fastening device for preventing loosening. Background Technology

[0002] When a tractor unit tows a trailer, the tractor unit is usually secured to the trailer by a collar, and bolts are used to pass through the collar and directly install the bolts at the trailer's docking point. The bolts then lock the collar in place, and the tractor unit connects to the trailer using a connecting clip.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN220009368U discloses a fastening device for a heavy-duty truck tractor, including a base plate and a docking base plate. In this fastening device, the collar gradually moves towards the side limiting plate. After the collar is engaged with the inner side of the side limiting plate, the side limiting plate limits the shaft and the collar, causing the collar to automatically correct itself and abut against the inner side of the side limiting plate. Once the side limiting plate and the collar are fully abutted, the side limiting plate and the collar can be fixed in place. This improves the accuracy of docking between the heavy-duty truck tractor and the trailer and increases the fault tolerance rate, allowing docking and fixing to be achieved even if there is a misalignment between the side limiting plate and the collar.

[0004] The aforementioned tractor fastening device, during actual use, is prone to loosening due to vibrations generated by the vehicle, making it unable to maintain a stable working state; therefore, it does not meet existing requirements. In response, we have proposed an anti-loosening tractor fastening device. Utility Model Content
