A telescopic device 1 is arranged at a position corresponding to the pin hole, and a telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 faces the pin hole. After the locking hole 9 is aligned with the pin hole, the telescopic device 1 inserts the telescopic rod into the pin hole and the locking hole 9.

[0029] The telescopic traction rod comprises a fixed frame 6 fixed on the front vehicle body, a telescopic frame 5 sliding forward and backward is arranged in the hollow cavity on the fixed frame 6, the telescopic frame 5 is used to connect the rear vehicle body, a locking hole 9 is arranged on the telescopic frame 5, and a pin hole is arranged on the fixed frame 6. When the locking hole 9 and the pin hole are aligned, the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 can be inserted into the locking hole 9 through the pin hole, thereby achieving the fixing of the fixed frame 6 and the telescopic frame 5, locking the telescopic frame 5, and making the telescopic frame 5 and the fixed frame 6 fixedly connected. The fixing and locking of the fixed frame 6 and the telescopic frame 5 are completed by the telescopic device 1, and the telescopic device 1 can be any telescopic driving device such as a telescopic motor, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc. Compared with manually inserting the pin shaft 7, the automation of control is improved, and the operator is prevented from operating the pin shaft 7 in a narrow space.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic length of the telescopic frame 5 can also be controlled. To this end, at least two locking holes 9 are provided, that is, at least two are provided in the longitudinal direction. The pin hole is matched with different locking holes 9, and the telescopic frame 5 extends to different distances. At least two locking holes 9 are provided, and the pin hole can be aligned with any locking hole 9. When the extension length of the telescopic frame 5 needs to be adjusted, different locking holes 9 can be selected. The pin hole can be aligned with different locking holes 9, so that the telescopic frame 5 extends to different lengths to meet different requirements.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic device 1 is any existing device with a telescopic function, such as a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic hydraulic cylinder or a telescopic motor, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder, the telescopic hydraulic cylinder or the telescopic motor faces the pin hole. When it is necessary to lock the telescopic frame 5 and the fixed frame 6, it is only necessary to start the telescopic device 1, so that the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 is inserted into the locking hole 9 through the pin hole, so as to achieve the locking and fixing of the telescopic frame 5 and the fixed frame 6; when it is necessary to pull the telescopic frame 5, it is only necessary to start the telescopic device 1, so that the telescopic rod is retracted, and the telescopic rod is separated from the locking hole 9.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, a detection hole is provided on the fixed frame 6, and a positioning hole is provided on the telescopic frame at a position corresponding to the detection hole. The positioning hole should correspond to the locking hole 9 one by one.

When the photoelectric detector detects the positioning hole, the locking hole 9 and the pin hole are aligned, and the controller of the telescopic device 1 controls the extension or retraction of the telescopic rod according to the preset instructions. The photoelectric detector is a detection sensor installed on the detection hole, which can detect the positioning hole on the telescopic frame, and then send a signal to the controller after the telescopic frame slides to the specified position. The controller can send a signal and display according to the preset instructions when the positioning hole is detected, and control the telescopic device to extend the telescopic rod of the telescopic device, so as to achieve the locking and fixation of the telescopic frame and the fixed frame; the photoelectric detector can be any sensor that can detect the positioning hole. In this embodiment, a light source may be provided at one end of the positioning hole and a light signal receiver may be provided at the other end. When the telescopic frame moves to the positioning hole to align the light source and the light signal receiver, the light signal receiver receives a signal, which is a signal that the locking hole of the telescopic frame is aligned with the pin hole. The controller may control the telescopic device to start according to the signal.

[0033] Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the telescopic frame 5 is locked, the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 is subjected to greater force.

When the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 is retracted, the return device drives the pin shaft 7 to be located in the locking hole 9. When the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 is extended, the telescopic rod overcomes the force of the return device to drive the pin shaft 7 to extend from the end away from the telescopic device 1, so that the inner end of the pin shaft 7 is stuck in the locking hole 9, and the outer end extends into the pin hole from the end away from the telescopic device 1; and the extended end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 extends into the locking device, that is, the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 is stuck in the pin hole and the locking hole close to the telescopic device, thereby realizing the locking of the two ends of the telescopic frame 5, and the telescopic distance of the telescopic rod in the above-mentioned locking process is small, so that the telescopic device 1 can realize the synchronous locking of the two sides of the telescopic frame 5 with a small telescopic distance, thereby improving the connection strength between the telescopic frame 5 and the fixed frame 6.

[0034] More specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic frame 5 includes side plates 8 on both sides, the locking holes 9 are provided on the side plates 8 on both sides, and the locking of the side plates on both sides and the pin holes near the side plates is achieved through the pin shaft and the telescopic rod of the telescopic device; the return device includes a baffle 2 arranged in the middle of the pin shaft 7, and the middle refers to the part other than the two ends, and a return spring 4 is also sleeved on the pin shaft 7, one end of the return spring 4 is connected to the baffle 2, and the other end of the return spring 4 is connected to the side plates 8 of the telescopic frame 5. The telescopic frame 5 includes side plates 8 on both sides, and the space between the side plates 8 on both sides is convenient for installing the return device, and the installation method of the return spring 4 provided in this embodiment. One end of the return spring 4 is directly or indirectly connected to the side plate 8 of the telescopic frame 5, that is, it is connected to the main body of the telescopic frame 5, and the other end is connected to the baffle 2 on the pin shaft 7, driving the pin shaft 7 to move to one side. At the same time, the baffle 2 is located in the middle of the pin shaft 7, that is, it is located inside the telescopic frame 5. The baffle 2 can also limit the movement distance of the pin shaft 7, that is, the return spring 4 completes the return when the baffle 2 is directly or indirectly connected to the abutment side plate 8. At this time, the pin shaft 7 is located in the locking hole 9 as a whole.

[0035] More specifically, in the present embodiment, in order to improve the connection strength between the pin shaft 7 and the telescopic frame 5 and prevent the pin shaft 7 from being separated from the locking hole, and also to improve the locking strength, the telescopic frame 5 includes side plates 8 on both sides, and the locking holes 9 are opened on the side plates 8 on both sides; the side plates 8 on both sides are also provided with collars 3 at positions corresponding to the locking holes 9, and the pin shaft 7 is inserted into the collars 3.

[0036] More specifically, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent a protruding structure from appearing after the pin shaft 7 or the telescopic rod extends out of the locking hole 9, and also to prevent dust or debris from entering the fixing frame 6 from the locking hole 9 away from the telescopic device 1, a box body is further provided on the side of the pin hole away from the telescopic device 1, and one end of the pin shaft 7 is inserted into the box body when the telescopic rod of the telescopic device 1 pushes out the pin shaft 7.
