One end of the two fixed ribs 7 is equipped with a docking assembly. When not in use, the trailer rod 5 is rotated to be stored above the traction rod 3, and the fixed ribs 7 are rotated to be stored below the traction rod 3. The storage can be completed by tightening with a magic belt or rope. The universal joint is a prior art. For details, please refer to the universal joint in the prior art CN214874067U.

[0028] The docking assembly includes a U-shaped fixing plate 8, a two-way threaded rod 9, a rotating shaft 10, a telescopic cylinder 11, a telescopic rod 12 and a docking hole 13. A U-shaped fixing plate 8 is fixed to one end of the two fixing ribs 7. Two ends of the inner side of the U-shaped fixing plate 8 are rotatably connected to a two-way threaded rod 9. One end of the U-shaped fixing plate 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 10. One end of the rotating shaft 10 penetrates the U-shaped fixing plate 8 and is fixed to the two-way threaded rod 9. The two ends of the two-way threaded rod 9 have opposite threaded directions. Both ends of the outer side of the two-way threaded rod 9 are threadedly connected to the telescopic cylinder 11. The telescopic cylinder 11 is slidably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped fixing plate 8. One end of the telescopic cylinder 11 is equipped with a telescopic rod 12, and one end of the telescopic rod 12 is provided with a docking hole 13 corresponding to the position of the wheel axle 6, and the docking hole 13 is slidably connected to the wheel axle 6. When the front vehicle 1 needs to be separated from the rear vehicle 2, the universal joint is first loosened to separate the towing rod 5 from the connecting rod of the handlebar assembly of the rear vehicle 2, and then the rotating shaft 10 is rotated. The rotating shaft 10 drives the two-way threaded rod 9 to rotate, so that the two telescopic cylinders 11 drive the telescopic rod 12 to move in a direction away from each other until the docking hole 13 is separated from the wheel axle 6, and the separation of the front vehicle 1 and the rear vehicle 2 is completed.

[0029] A telescopic mechanism is installed between the telescopic cylinder 11 and the telescopic rod 12 , and the telescopic mechanism is used to adjust the position of the telescopic rod 12 .

[0030] The telescopic mechanism includes a placement box 14, a rotating rod 15 and a force gear 16. A placement box 14 is fixed on one side of the telescopic cylinder 11. A storage groove is provided on the inner side of the telescopic cylinder 11. The storage groove is slidably connected to the telescopic rod 12, and the storage groove is communicated with the placement box 14. A rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to one side of the placement box 14. A force gear 16 is fixed on one end of the rotating rod 15. The force gear 16 is meshed and connected with the telescopic rod 12. A tooth groove is provided at the connection between the telescopic rod 12 and the force gear 16, and the tooth groove is meshed and connected with the force gear 16. When the front vehicle 1 is connected to the rear vehicle 2, the position of the telescopic rod 12 is first adjusted so that the docking hole 13 is aligned with the wheel axle 6. The specific method is to rotate the rotating rod 15 so that the rotating rod 15 drives the force gear 16 to mesh with the telescopic rod 12 and move, thereby causing the telescopic rod 12 to move along the inner side of the storage groove until the telescopic rod 12 drives the docking hole 13 to be aligned with the wheel axle 6.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Embodiment 1 is further optimized, specifically, as Figure 3-5 As shown, the outer side of the placement box 14 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism.

[0033] The adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting rod 17, teeth 18 and a tensioning spring 19. The top of the placement box 14 is slidably connected with the adjusting rod 17, one end of the adjusting rod 17 is fixed with teeth 18, the teeth 18 are meshed and connected with the force gear 16, and the outer side of the adjusting rod 17 is sleeved with a tensioning spring 19, one end of the tensioning spring 19 is fixed to the adjusting rod 17, and the other end of the tensioning spring 19 is fixed to the placement box 14. When the force gear 16 needs to be rotated, the adjusting rod 17 is first pulled so that the adjusting rod 17 drives the tensioning spring 19 to stretch and deform, so that the adjusting rod 17 drives the teeth 18 to separate from the force gear 16, and the rotation limit of the force gear 16 is released. Then, the rotating rod 15 is rotated to drive the force gear 16 to rotate.

[0034] From the above, we can know that:

[0035] The utility model is aimed at the following technical problems: the prior art can achieve the purpose of towing the rear bicycle with the front bicycle during use, but it is only connected to the rear bicycle through a one-way telescopic tube group, and the U-shaped hoop and the universal joint are easily twisted during use because the connecting rod between the handlebar assembly of the rear bicycle and the U-shaped hoop is a rotating body, resulting in an unstable connection between the front and rear bicycles, and there is room for improvement; the technical solutions of the above embodiments are adopted. At the same time, the implementation process of the above technical solutions is:

[0036] When the front vehicle 1 needs to be connected with the rear vehicle 2, firstly, the towing rod 5 is connected with the connecting rod of the handlebar assembly of the rear vehicle 2 through the universal joint, and then the docking hole 13 is aligned with the wheel axle 6, and then the rotating shaft 10 is rotated, and the rotating shaft 10 drives the two-way threaded rod 9 to rotate. Because the threads at both ends of the two-way threaded rod 9 are rotated in opposite directions, the two-way threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected with the telescopic cylinder 11, and the telescopic cylinder 11 is slidably connected with the inner side of the U-shaped fixing plate 8, so that the two telescopic cylinders 11 can drive the telescopic rod 12 to move in a direction approaching each other until the docking hole 13 docks with the wheel axle 6, and the connection between the front vehicle 1 and the rear vehicle 2 is completed. At this time, the front wheel of the rear vehicle 2 is in a raised state and is not in contact with the ground.

[0037] Through the above configuration, the present application can certainly solve the above technical problems and achieve the following technical effects:

[0038] 1.
