Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a trailer arm, in particular to a cylindrical trailer arm, belonging to the field of vehicle auxiliary equipment. Background Art

[0002] Existing trailer arms primarily utilize a fixed structure, connected to the towing equipment via bolts and pins. This design is commonly found in construction machinery, transport vehicles, and military equipment. While this type of trailer arm has a simple structure and can meet the needs of conventional towing operations, it has significant functional limitations, making it difficult to adapt to complex operating scenarios and the ever-changing demands of flexible use.

[0003] Traditional trailer arms are typically fixed in height, unable to accommodate height differences between different towing equipment or towed objects, resulting in difficult or unstable connections. Furthermore, fixed-length trailer arms cannot be folded or compressed, taking up a lot of storage space and making them inconvenient to carry and transport.

[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the above technical problems, the utility model designs a cylindrical trailer arm to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical purpose to be achieved by the present utility model is: by setting a cylindrical adjustment connecting column, the traction end is movably connected to the trailer arm, and the whole is connected and installed by a pin shaft, thereby achieving the effect of height adjustment and rapid storage, and solving the technical problems of the existing trailer arm with single applicability and complex structure.

[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The cylindrical trailer arm provided by the utility model comprises a receiver arm, an adjustment component, a bracket and a traction column. One end of the receiver arm is connected to the trailer and the other end is connected to the adjustment component. The adjustment component is connected to the bracket, which carries the traction column and is connected to the receiver arm through the adjustment component.

[0008] The adjustment assembly flexibly connects the bracket and the receiver arm. The adjustment assembly rotates horizontally about the adjustment rod and is positioned via a pin. It also supports the inward folding of the towing column, thereby achieving a compact and easily stowable trailer arm. Furthermore, the bracket slides axially along the adjustment rod, enabling height adjustment to accommodate varying operational needs. Furthermore, the entire assembly utilizes a pin connection, facilitating assembly and disassembly, improving operational efficiency.

[0009] The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod, an arm pin hole, a trailer lock, an adjustment pin hole, an adjustment pin shaft and a matching pin hole. The adjustment rod is cylindrical and is connected to the receiver arm through the arm pin hole opened on it. The cylindrical structure facilitates the rotation of the bracket around the axis and supports axial sliding to adapt to different height requirements.

[0010] The trailer lock passes through the arm pin hole and is locked by a key; the locking design ensures a secure connection and anti-theft, thereby improving safety.

[0011] The adjusting rod is also provided with a plurality of adjusting pin holes, and the bracket is provided with a matching pin hole. The adjusting pin shaft passes through the matching pin hole and the adjusting pin hole, thereby connecting the bracket and the adjusting rod to each other.

[0012] The number of the matching pin holes is at least two, and the number of the adjusting pin holes is at least three.

[0013] A limit retaining ring is installed at the lower end of the adjusting rod, and the limit retaining ring is used to limit the bracket from sliding down and falling off the adjusting rod; further, the limit retaining ring can prevent the bracket from sliding out accidentally to avoid injuring staff.

[0014] A locking pin is inserted at the front end of the adjusting pin shaft; the locking pin is used to further lock the pin shaft to prevent it from loosening, thereby improving safety during the traction process.

[0015] There are two towing posts, each symmetrically mounted on the bracket via bracket pins. This symmetrical structure effectively distributes stress during towing, reducing the risk of component wear or deformation caused by excessive stress at a single point. The dual towing posts also provide greater lateral support, ensuring the trailer remains stable during towing.

[0016] One end of the bracket is provided with an opening for installing the adjusting rod, the connecting pin is inserted into the inner side of the opening of the bracket and locks the traction column, and then the connecting pin is limited by inserting the adjusting rod.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. The utility model connects various components through a pin shaft, and connects the bracket and the receiver arm through a cylindrical adjustment rod, so that the bracket can rotate and slide axially on the adjustment rod, so that the towing column on the bracket can adapt to trailers of different heights and can also rotate inward for storage, greatly improving the applicability and convenience of the trailer arm.

[0019] 2. The utility model provides a limit retaining ring under the adjusting rod. When the operator adjusts the position of the bracket on the adjusting rod, since the bracket has a certain weight and can slide on the adjusting rod, in order to prevent the bracket from sliding out of the adjusting rod and hitting the operator, the limit retaining ring is used to limit the sliding of the bracket, thereby improving the safety of the trailer arm during adjustment.

[0020] 3. The utility model locks the receiver arm through multiple trailer locks. At the same time, under the restriction of the limit ring, it prevents someone from easily stealing the bracket by removing the R-shaped pin. In addition, through the hidden connecting pin assembly, the connecting pin is inserted into one end of the bracket installation adjustment rod, and the adjustment rod is used to hide and limit it, thereby realizing the overall anti-theft of the bracket and the connecting column.

The adjustment rod 21 is cylindrical and is connected to the receiver arm 1 through the arm pin hole 22 provided thereon. The trailer lock 23 passes through the arm pin hole 22 and is locked by a key.

[0035] The adjusting rod 21 is further provided with a plurality of adjusting pin holes 24 , and the bracket 3 is provided with a matching pin hole 26 . The adjusting pin shaft 25 passes through the matching pin hole 26 and the adjusting pin hole 24 , thereby connecting the bracket 3 and the adjusting rod 21 to each other.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of the matching pin holes 26 is two, and the number of the adjustment pin holes 24 is five.

[0037] In this embodiment, a limit retaining ring 211 is installed at the lower end of the adjusting rod 21 , and the limit retaining ring 211 is used to limit the bracket 3 from sliding down and falling off the adjusting rod 21 .

[0038] In this embodiment, a locking pin 251 is inserted into the front end of the adjusting pin shaft 25 .

[0039] In this embodiment, there are two traction columns 4 , which are symmetrically mounted on the bracket 3 via connecting pins 31 .

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, when installing the present invention, first install the two traction columns 4 into the cylindrical holes at one end of the bracket 3, align the pin holes on the traction columns 4 and the bracket 3 with each other, and then insert the connecting pin shaft 31 into the pin hole to complete the installation of the traction columns 4.

[0041] Next, vertically insert the adjusting rod 21 into the cylindrical hole at the other end of the bracket 3, and align the adjusting pin hole 24 on the adjusting rod 21 with the matching pin hole 26 on the bracket 3.
