AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing semi-automatic traction devices use a spherical stop structure that has poor stability, cannot withstand large towing forces, and is inconvenient to operate.

Method used

A semi-automatic towing device was designed, which uses a driving component and an elastic locking component. The driving component pushes the locking component to unlock the trailer hook, and the elastic component is used to lock the trailer hook in place. This allows the trailer hook to switch between detached, retracted, and trailer positions, reducing costs and improving stability.

Benefits of technology

It improves the ease of operation and stability of the traction device, enables it to withstand greater towing force, reduces costs, and simplifies structural complexity.

Abstract

The application discloses a towing device for a vehicle and the vehicle, the towing device comprising: a driving member arranged on a vehicle body of the vehicle; a trailer hook rotatably arranged on the driving member and adapted to be manually pulled to move the trailer hook from a falling-off position to a towing position or a storage position; a locking member arranged on an end of the driving member away from the vehicle, and the locking member elastically pushes against and at least partially extends into the trailer hook to lock the trailer hook, the driving member being used to push the locking member to unlock the trailer hook, and after the trailer hook is unlocked, the trailer hook moves from the towing position or the storage position to the falling-off position under the action of gravity. Thus, the cost of the towing device can be reduced, the operation convenience is improved, the trailer hook is configured to be inserted and matched with the locking member in the storage position and the towing position, compared with the existing ball pin matching, the stability is higher, a greater towing force can be borne, and the working stability of the towing device and the towing effect are improved.
