After the connecting pin 11 passes through the support member and the U-shaped connecting seat, a third open pin is provided, and a fixing effect is played by the third open pin.

[0049] Specifically, the width of the middle part of the support plate 6 is greater than the width of its two ends. The distance between the two support plates 6 is set to facilitate the installation of the connecting hook 5 and the towing hook 7. The support plate 6 is located on the inner side of the vehicle body end plate and is connected to the connecting hook 5 and the towing hook 7 through the ends of the two support plates.

[0051] An impact seat plate 12, an elastic component, a pull rod end cover 14 and a first fastener are sequentially sleeved in a circumferential direction on one side of the traction rod 10 away from the U-shaped connecting seat. The impact seat plate 12 is arranged close to the U-shaped connecting seat. The impact seat plate 12 is used for connection with the vehicle body to achieve overall fixation to the vehicle body. The elastic component includes two elastic components 13, which are specifically rubber elastic rings for absorbing energy. A pad 24 is arranged between the two elastic components 13, and the outer diameter of the pad 24 is greater than the outer diameter of the elastic component 13; the first fastener is specifically a nut 15, a washer 20 is arranged on the inner side of the nut 15, and a first cotter pin 19 is fixed on the outer side of the nut.

After the pull rod end cover 14 contacts the elastic component, a washer 20 is set at the traction rod 10 and fastened with a nut 15, and finally the first cotter pin 19 is installed in the position of the end hole of the traction rod 10, so that the elastic buffer mechanism is installed. After installation, the impact seat plate 12 is connected to the vehicle body impact seat (not shown) so that the hook can be fixed on the vehicle body.

[0055] In this embodiment, the buffer 16 specifically adopts an existing metal buffer, and a mounting plate is provided at one end of the buffer, and the mounting plate is connected to the vehicle body end plate 23 by bolts and nuts, so that the buffer 16 is fixed at the central position on the vehicle body end beam, so that the vehicle can play a role in buffering the vehicle during operation; the size of the other end of the buffer 16 away from the vehicle body end plate 23 is increased, so that the end of the buffer away from the vehicle body end plate is a transversely arranged T-shape, so that when the vehicles come into contact, the buffer can effectively absorb the energy between the vehicles.
