When in use, the rope is extended from the winch, wound around the guide turning wheel and connected to the rescue object. The angle rotation range of the hinge between the support rod one, the support rod two and the connecting fixed frame can meet the multi-angle and multi-directional operation of the rope to a certain extent; the support rod two is set as a retractable sleeve structure to further increase the angle range of the rope operation; by adding a bracket mechanism, lifting and towing operations across obstacles can be carried out without using a truck crane, thereby overcoming the defects that the lifting capacity of the existing truck crane is greatly affected by the distance, the truck crane itself has a large weight and volume, and the installation of the truck crane together with the traction winch occupies a large vehicle carrying space, which is more conducive to the implementation of self-rescue or towing.

[0024] In order to overcome the defects of existing truck cranes that the lifting capacity is greatly affected by the distance, the truck crane itself is heavy and large in size, and it takes up a large vehicle carrying space when installed together with the traction winch, it is possible to carry out lifting and towing operations across obstacles without using the truck crane, such as Figure 5As shown, the system also includes a support mechanism 9, which includes a top seat 10, a guide and direction-changing wheel 11, a plurality of longitudinal support rods 12 and a transverse connecting rod 13. The upper ends of the plurality of longitudinal support rods 12 are hinged to the outer circumference of the lower end surface of the top seat 10 at equal intervals, and the lower end of each longitudinal support rod 12 is hingedly connected to a foot 14, and the lower parts of adjacent longitudinal support rods 12 are hingedly connected through the transverse connecting rod 13; the guide and direction-changing wheel 11 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the lower end surface of the top seat 10.

[0025] In order to adjust the length of support rod 23 to increase the angle range between support rod 12 and support rod 23 and further increase the rescue working space, the support rod 23 includes a sleeve section 15 and a rod section 16 slidably sleeved therein, the sleeve section 15 has a connecting hole 17 at one end close to the rod section 16, and a plurality of connecting holes 18 are provided on the rod section 16 corresponding to the connecting hole 17, and the connecting hole 17 and the connecting hole 18 are connected by a pin 19.

[0027] When in use, the rescue vehicle installed with this system is parked in place. According to the on-site conditions, this system can perform lateral towing operations, forward towing operations, lifting operations and towing operations across obstacles. These four operation processes are described in detail below.

[0028] 1. Lateral dragging operation

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, when the rescued object 28 is not in the winch rope-out direction A, there is an angle α between the traction direction B of the winch rope 29 and the winch rope-out direction A, the winch mechanism is adjusted to the unfolded state, the winch rope 29 comes out of the winch 1, bypasses the guide changing wheel 4 and connects with the rescued object 28; the winch cable drum of the winch 1 rotates to recover the winch rope 29, and the winch rope 29 bypasses the guide changing wheel 4 and changes direction to drag the rescued object 28 in the opposite direction of direction B to perform a lateral towing operation.

[0030] 2. Forward dragging operation

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, when the rescued object 28 is in the direction A of the winch's rope output, that is, when the angle α is 0° or within the range that the winch 1 can withstand, the winch mechanism is adjusted to the recovery state, the winch rope 29 is connected to the rescued object 28, and the winch drum of the winch 1 rotates to recover the winch rope 29, dragging the rescued object 28 along the recovery direction of the winch rope 29 to perform a forward towing operation.

[0032] 3. Lifting Operation

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the winch mechanism is adjusted to the unfolded state, and the bracket mechanism is unfolded and placed above the rescued object 28. The winch rope 29 comes out of the winch 1, bypasses the guide changing wheel 1 4 and the guide changing wheel 2 11, and is connected to the rescued object 28. There is an angle α between the traction direction B of the winch rope 29 and the winch rope output direction A. The winch cable drum of the winch 1 rotates to recycle the winch rope 29. The winch rope 29 bypasses the changing wheel 4 and the guide changing wheel 2 11 and changes direction, and then drags the rescued object 28 upward to perform the lifting operation.

[0034] 4. Dragging across obstacles

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the winch mechanism is adjusted to the unfolded state, and the bracket mechanism is unfolded and placed next to the rescued object 28. The winch rope 29 comes out of the winch 1, bypasses the guide turning wheel 1 4 and the guide turning wheel 2 11, crosses the obstacle 30, and then connects with the rescued object 28. There is an angle α between the traction direction B of the winch rope 29 and the winch rope output direction A. The winch cable drum of the winch 1 rotates to recycle the winch rope 29. The winch rope 29 bypasses the guide turning wheel 1 4 and the guide turning wheel 2 11 and changes direction, then drags the rescued object 28 to move, and performs the towing operation across the obstacle 30.
