DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a ball cover plate installation structure includes a chassis 1, a towing part 2, a limit assembly 3, a handbrake part 4, an auxiliary wheel mechanism 5 and a support assembly 6.

[0028] Furthermore, the trailer part 2 is provided at the front end of the chassis 1 for connecting to a towing vehicle, including:

[0029] A traction frame 21, the end of which is mounted on the front end of the chassis 1 through a fixing member;

[0030] A fixing plate 22 is mounted on the front end of the traction frame 21;

[0031] The ball cover 23 is integrated at the front end of the fixing plate 22 , and a cavity for accommodating the ball head is provided inside the ball cover 23 .

[0032] Furthermore, the limiting component 3 is provided at one end of the ball cover 23 for limiting the ball head to prevent it from leaving the cavity, including:

[0033] A standpipe 31 is mounted on the fixing plate 22. One side of the standpipe 31 is connected to the spherical cover 23, and the other side is connected to the positioning frame 41. The interior of the standpipe 31 is connected to the cavity in the spherical cover 23. A hanging ear 32 is installed on the outer wall of the standpipe 31.

[0034] A limiting rod 33 is slidably disposed in the vertical tube 31, and a handle 34 is installed on the limiting rod 33;

[0035] The buckle 35 is rotatably provided on the limiting rod 33 , and the buckle 35 is used to cooperate with the hanging ear 32 .

[0036] First, place the ball head on the tractor vehicle into the cavity of the ball cover 23. Then, by holding the handle 34, insert the limit rod 33 into the interior of the vertical pipe 31 and place it in the cavity to block the ball head so that the ball head cannot move downward in the cavity. Operate the buckle 35 to buckle the buckle 35 on the hanging ear 32, and lock the buckle 35 on the hanging ear 32 through the hanging ear 32 lock.

[0037] Furthermore, the handbrake unit 4 is used to brake the RV, including:

[0038] The positioning frame 41 is integrated on the fixing plate 22 and serves as the main support of the handbrake part 4;

[0039] The locking ratchet 42 is installed in the connecting groove provided on the positioning frame 41;

[0040] An operating rod 43 is rotatably mounted on the positioning frame 41;

[0041] A pawl 44 is used to cooperate with the locking ratchet 42, and the pawl 44 is rotatably arranged on the operating rod 43 through a damping rod;

[0042] A first connecting member 45 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the operating rod 43;

[0043] A second connecting member 46 is provided at one end of the first connecting member 45 , a guide wheel 47 is rotatably mounted on the second connecting member 46 , a brake line 48 is rotatably mounted on the guide wheel 47 , and both ends of the brake line 48 are respectively connected to the wheel assembly 7 ;

[0044] The adjusting screw 49 has one end rotatably set on the first connecting member 45, and the other end is connected to the second connecting member 46 through a nut. The setting of the adjusting screw 49 facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the first connecting member 45 and the second connecting member 46, and thus facilitates the adjustment of the tension of the brake line 48.

[0045] Further, such as Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the auxiliary wheel mechanism 5 is used for position movement in a non-traction state, and includes:

[0046] The connecting tube 51 is mounted on the traction frame 21 via a fixing frame 52;

[0047] A screw rod 53 is rotatably mounted in the connecting tube 51 , and a sliding block 54 is threadedly provided on the screw rod 53 ;

[0048] The sliding cylinder 55 is slidably disposed in the connecting cylinder 51 and is connected to the sliding block 54;

[0049] A moving wheel 56 on which a connecting member 57 is rotatably mounted. The connecting member 57 is mounted on the bottom of the sliding cylinder 55;

[0050] The auxiliary wheel mechanism 5 further includes:

[0051] A rotating rod 58 is rotatably mounted on the connecting tube 51;

[0052] The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear meshing therewith are mounted on the rotating rod 58 and the second bevel gear is mounted on the screw rod 53 .

[0053] When in use, hold the rotating rod 58 and drive it to rotate. The rotating rod 58 drives the first bevel gear to rotate, and drives the second bevel gear engaged with it to rotate. The second bevel gear drives the screw rod 53 to rotate, and then drives the sliding cylinder 55 to move, and drives the moving wheel 56 to adjust until it touches the ground.

[0054] Further, such as Figure 7As shown, there are four groups of support assemblies 6, two of which are set at the bottom of the traction frame 21, and the other two are set at the bottom of the chassis 1 for auxiliary support in the parking state. A single group of support assemblies 6 includes:

[0055] A mounting frame 61 is used to connect to the traction frame 21 or the chassis 1, and a positioning hole is opened on the mounting frame 61;

[0056] The telescopic tube 62 is adjustable in length by a screw and is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 61;

[0057] The fixing plate 63 is mounted on the telescopic tube 62 and has a plurality of through holes that match the positioning holes;

[0058] A pin 64 extends through the positioning hole and through the through hole to lock the fixing plate 63 on the mounting frame 61;

[0059] The base 65 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic tube 62 and is used to contact the ground.

[0060] When in use, the latch is removed, and the telescopic tube 62 can be rotated relative to the mounting frame 61. The telescopic tube 62 is operated so that the telescopic tube 62 is relatively perpendicular to the base frame and the traction frame 21. The latch is reinserted so that the telescopic tube 62 cannot be adjusted. Finally, the length of the telescopic tube 62 is adjusted so that the base 65 contacts the ground.
