Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a towing hook assembly, belonging to the technical field of automobile trailers. Background Art

[0002] The tow hook assembly needs to be installed at the front or rear end of the car, and is mainly used to tow faulty vehicles and RVs. Existing tow hooks are usually directly fixed on the rear anti-collision beam of the car, and the vehicle to be towed is hung on the tow hook by hanging.

[0003] When the trailer hook is towing, if the road is bumpy or uphill, there is no locking mechanism between the hook and the trailer hook, and the closure is not tight, so it is easy to fall off from the opening of the trailer hook, making it impossible to tow the trailer normally. In order to solve the above problem, a blocking member is usually set on the trailer hook. When the towed vehicle or RV is hooked on the trailer hook, the blocking member closes the opening of the trailer hook to prevent the trailer from being unhooked during travel.

[0004] However, the existing blocking member is usually locked by a torsion spring, that is, one end of the existing blocking member is hinged to the trailer hook, and the other end thereof presses the end of the opening of the trailer hook under the elastic force of the torsion spring, thereby closing the opening. When there are steep uphill and downhill slopes or bumpy roads, the blocking member may still be unhooked due to the large impact it receives, making it very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a towing hook assembly which can lock and keep the towing vehicle from being unhooked.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: the towing hook assembly includes a towing hook body, an anti-dropping buckle, a locking component and a connecting rod, a mounting portion is arranged on one side of the towing hook body, one end of the anti-dropping buckle is hinged to the towing hook body through the connecting rod, and the other end is arranged on the inner side of the opening of the towing hook body, the anti-dropping buckle closes the opening of the towing hook body, the connecting rod and the towing hook body and the anti-dropping buckle can all slide relatively, the locking component is arranged between the towing hook body and the anti-dropping buckle, and the connecting rod is connected to the locking component.

[0007] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a locking rod, which is spaced apart on one side of the opening of the connecting rod close to the trailer hook body, one end of the locking rod is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the other end can be slidably passed through the anti-detachment buckle to extend into the trailer hook body, and lock the anti-detachment buckle and the trailer hook body.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a torsion spring, which is arranged between the trailer hook body and the anti-detachment buckle, and the torsion spring pushes the anti-detachment buckle to close the opening of the trailer hook body.

[0009] Preferably, a locking spring is further included, and the locking spring is arranged between the connecting rod and the anti-drop buckle or the trailer hook body. The locking spring drives the locking mechanism through the connecting rod to lock the anti-drop buckle and the trailer hook body.

[0010] Preferably, an operating handle is provided on the connecting rod, a locking spring is sleeved outside the connecting rod, one end of the locking spring is supported on the operating handle, and the other end is supported on the anti-detachment buckle, and the locking spring and the locking assembly are respectively arranged on both sides of the anti-detachment buckle.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting rod can be slidably inserted into the operating handle, and a retaining spring is provided between the connecting rod and the operating handle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The locking component of the tow hook assembly passes through the anti-drop buckle to close the opening of the tow hook body, and the locking component locks the anti-drop buckle and the tow hook body, effectively preventing the hook from being disengaged due to impact on bumpy roads, maintaining stable hooking and convenient operation.
