[0027] This specific implementation mode is only an explanation of the utility model, not a limitation of the utility model. Any changes made by those skilled in the art after reading the specification of the utility model will be protected by the patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an adjustable trailer connection comprises
[0029] - trailer arm 1, for connecting to a towing vehicle;
[0030] - a ball head 4, used for connecting to the towed vehicle;
[0031] - A connecting seat 2, used to connect the trailer arm 1 and the ball head 4.
[0032] The trailer arm 1 is a straight arm structure arranged horizontally, and its cross section is a rectangular frame; the connecting seat 2 is a straight arm structure arranged vertically, and its cross section is U-shaped. The upper part of the connecting seat 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the trailer arm 1, and a gusset 3 is also arranged at the inner corner of the two.
[0033] Specifically, the connecting seat 2 includes a bottom plate 23 whose back is fixedly connected to the end of the trailer arm 1, a first vertical plate 21 and a second vertical plate 22 which are integrally connected to the bottom plate and arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 23. Both vertical plates are provided with a plurality of mounting holes 2-1 arranged in a vertical straight line.
[0034] The ball head 4 is connected to the connecting seat 2 via a latch.
[0035] The ball head component 4 includes a ball head seat 43 , a ball head 44 , a first connecting piece 41 and a second connecting piece 42 .
[0036] There are two ball heads 44, which are respectively welded to the front and back surfaces of the ball head seat, one facing upward and the other facing downward.
[0037] The first connecting piece 41 and the second connecting piece 42 are in a transverse T-shape and are respectively welded on both sides of the ball head seat 43, and are provided with an upper pin hole 4-1 and a lower pin hole 4-2; the distance between the upper pin hole 4-1 and the lower pin hole 4-2 is L.
