[0002] A trailer ball is a spherical component installed on the trailer hook at the rear end of a car and used to connect other towing vehicles. It nests with the trailer ball cover of the towing RV or vehicle to form a freely movable joint connection structure. It is also used to connect ropes for mechanical traction and other towing purposes.
[0003] At present, a trailer ball is usually a device used to tow a rear-hook load. It can also be used in conjunction with a towing rope to tow a vehicle in the absence of a trailer hook. Since the trailer ball is not as strong as the trailer hook, if the instantaneous pulling force when towing the vehicle is too large, it may easily cause a slight bend at the connection point between the ball head and the vertical rod, which may cause the ball head to be unable to be used normally. In addition, since the ball head is spherical, the tow rope may easily fall off the ball head. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 A trailer ball with a rope anti-slipping function comprises a mounting plate 1, a ball head 2 is arranged above the mounting plate 1, a locking assembly is installed together with the ball head 2 and the mounting plate 1, a side wall of the ball head 2 is provided with an annular rope groove 3, and the annular rope groove 3 is arranged obliquely, a limiting assembly is installed on the groove wall of the annular rope groove 3, a horizontal guide wheel 4 is arranged on one side of the ball head 2, a supporting assembly is installed on the locking assembly, and the horizontal guide wheel 4 is connected to the supporting assembly.
[0022] The locking assembly includes a locking rod 5 integrally formed at the lower end of the ball head 2, the rod wall of the locking rod 5 is slidably inserted into the end surface of the mounting plate 1, the rod wall of the locking rod 5 is fixedly sleeved with a fixing sleeve 6, a locking nut 7 is provided below the fixing sleeve 6, and the locking nut 7 is threadedly connected to the rod wall of the locking rod 5. Through this arrangement, the ball head 2 and the mounting plate 1 can be easily fixed and locked.
[0023] The limiting assembly includes a mounting groove 8 opened on the side wall of the ball head 2, the groove wall of the mounting groove 8 is slidably connected to a limiting slide rod 9, the groove wall of the annular rope groove 3 is provided with a plug-in groove 10 matching the limiting slide rod 9, a pull head 11 is fixedly installed on the rod end of the limiting slide rod 9, and a spring 12 is fixedly provided between the side wall of the pull head 11 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 8. Through this arrangement, the rope can be prevented from falling off from the annular rope groove 3.
[0024] The supporting assembly includes a rotating plate 13 hinged to the two side walls of the fixing sleeve 6, and the horizontal guide wheel 4 is rotatably arranged between the two rotating plates 13. The side walls of the two rotating plates 13 are threadedly connected with fixing bolts 16, and the two fixing bolts 16 are threadedly connected to the side walls of the fixing sleeve 6. Through the fixing bolts 16, the rotating plate 13 can be locked and fixed after being rotated.
[0025] The upper ends of the side walls of the two rotating plates 13 are commonly threadedly connected with a limiting bolt 14, and the horizontal guide wheel 4 is arranged below the limiting bolt 14.
