Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a separation and docking auxiliary device for a towing tractor. Background Art

[0002] A trailer RV is a type of RV. Unlike a self-propelled RV, a trailer RV has no power of its own and requires an additional vehicle to tow it.

[0003] A trailer RV is generally towed behind an SUV, car or self-propelled RV using a connector and a hook. A set of steering wheels is generally provided below the connector so that the RV can adjust its position and direction when it is not connected to the vehicle in front. The existing trailer tractor separation and docking assist device has a relatively simple function, usually only has a steering function and cannot be folded. The wheels of the steering device are relatively small, which means that when the trailer RV car body moves with the front vehicle, the speed of the front vehicle must be controlled to avoid damage caused by overload of the small wheels. Secondly, the existing trailer tractor separation and docking assist device cannot be adjusted in height. When the car body is towed, it needs to be manually supported, and then the trailer needs to be reversed to the trailer hook and manually lowered to hook the front vehicle's towing hook, which is cumbersome to operate.

[0006] Preferably, the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a first worm, a first through hole is provided on the side wall of the first transmission assembly, the first worm passes through the first through hole and extends to the outside of the other side of the first transmission assembly, the first transmission assembly is internally rotatably connected to a first gear, the inside of the first gear is fixedly connected to a first protrusion, the outside of the inner sleeve is provided with a long groove adapted to the first protrusion, the inner sleeve is slidingly connected to the first gear through the long groove, and the first worm is meshed with the first gear.

[0007] Preferably, the inner sleeve is threadedly connected to a screw, the top of the screw is located above the inner sleeve, the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a second worm, the side wall of the second transmission assembly is provided with a second through hole, the second worm passes through the second through hole and extends to the outside of the other side of the second transmission assembly, the second transmission assembly is rotatably connected to a second gear, the inner top wall of the mounting bracket is rotatably connected to a shaft head, the outside of the shaft head is provided with a first groove, the inside of the second gear is fixedly connected to a second protrusion, the second gear is clamped to the outside of the shaft head through the second protrusion, the inside of the shaft head is fixedly connected to the top of the screw, and the second worm is meshed with the second gear.

[0008] Preferably, both sides of the mounting frame are fixedly connected with fixed shafts, the fixed plate is rotatably connected to the mounting frame via the fixed shafts, and a third protrusion is provided on the surface of the fixed shafts.

[0013] Preferably, a third adjustment hole is formed at one end of the third worm away from the third motor.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a towing tractor separation and docking auxiliary device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The towing and docking auxiliary device for a towing tractor is provided with a first motor. When the first motor is in operation, the first gear is driven to rotate via the first worm gear. Then, the first gear drives the inner sleeve to rotate inside the outer sleeve via the first protrusion and the long groove. Since the bottom of the inner sleeve is connected to the wheel via the wheel axle, the first motor can drive the wheel to swing, thereby realizing active steering of the tractor. By providing a second motor, the second motor is driven to rotate via the second worm gear. At this time, the second gear drives the shaft head to rotate via the engagement of the second protrusion and the first groove. The shaft head drives the screw to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the screw and the inner sleeve and the engagement of the inner sleeve with the first gear, when the screw rotates horizontally, the inner sleeve can rise or fall outside the screw. The bottom of the inner sleeve is connected to the wheel, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the height of the vehicle body. This solves the problem that the towing and docking auxiliary device for a towing tractor in the prior art cannot adjust the height. When the vehicle body is towed, it needs to be manually supported by hand, and then the trailer is reversed to the tow hook and manually lowered to hook the towing hook of the front vehicle, which is a cumbersome operation.

[0015] 2. The trailer-type tractor separation and docking auxiliary device is provided with a third motor. The third motor drives the third gear to rotate through the third worm. The third gear drives the fixed shaft to rotate through the third protrusion and the second groove. The fixed shaft drives the mounting frame to rotate at the same time. Since the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the vehicle body, the rotation of the mounting frame can drive the wheel to be stored under the vehicle body through the inner sleeve, thereby achieving the purpose of folding the wheel. This solves the problem that the trailer-type tractor separation and docking auxiliary device in the prior art is relatively single in function, usually only has a steering function and cannot be folded, and the wheel size of the steering device is relatively small, which results in the trailer car body having to control the speed of the leading vehicle when following the leading vehicle to avoid damage caused by overload of the small wheels.

[0022] For example 2, please refer to Figure 6-7 This embodiment is further optimized based on the first embodiment, and the same parts as the above technical solutions will not be repeated here. Figure 1-5 As shown, in order to better realize the present invention, the following setting method is particularly adopted: a third protrusion 111 is provided on the surface of the fixed shaft 11, the fixed plate 2 and the third motor 7 are fixedly connected through the third transmission assembly 23, and the third gear 231 is rotatably connected inside the third transmission assembly 23.
