Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile tow hook technology, and in particular to an automobile tow hook installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] The tow hook is a crucial load-bearing component of a vehicle, serving as a trailer in case of vehicle breakdown. Damage to the tow hook's fixing structure affects the vehicle's functionality; furthermore, in harsh operating conditions, the tow hook's fixing structure is subjected to impact loads from multiple directions.

[0003] Existing trailer hitch mounting structures mostly use individual brackets to fix the tow hook to the longitudinal beam. In existing structures, the tow hook, when connected to the vehicle frame, suffers from weak load-bearing capacity and significant shape changes due to the plate-shaped planar nature of the frame beam when subjected to bending moments, affecting the normal functionality of the structure. For example, Chinese patent CN212242852U discloses a tow hook mounting reinforcement structure, including a vehicle longitudinal beam, a tow hook mounting tube, and N reinforcing members. These N reinforcing members are circumferentially spaced on the outer wall of the tow hook mounting tube. Each reinforcing member's side facing the tow hook mounting tube is conformally fitted and connected to the outer wall of the tow hook mounting tube, while the side of each reinforcing member away from the tow hook mounting tube is connected to the inner wall of the vehicle longitudinal beam. However, this tow hook mounting structure exhibits weak bending resistance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a car tow hook installation structure to effectively improve the structural strength of the tow hook installation area.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The vehicle tow hook mounting structure includes a frame longitudinal beam, a support bracket, and a mounting sleeve for connecting to the tow hook body. The mounting sleeve is fixed inside the frame longitudinal beam by the support bracket. It also includes a pad plate, which is welded to the inner wall of the frame longitudinal beam. The end of the pad plate is provided with a flange structure that connects to the vehicle frame. The support bracket is welded to the side of the pad plate.

[0007] Further:

[0008] The longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame is reinforced with a structure at the rear of the support frame.

[0009] The lower end of the pad is provided with an inner end plate, and the inner end plate is provided with a connecting hole. The inner end plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame longitudinal beam by bolts passing through the connecting hole.

[0010] The mounting sleeve is a threaded sleeve with internal threads, and the inner end of the hook body is connected to the mounting sleeve through a threaded structure.

[0011] The support frame includes a pair of arched support plates, and an installation sleeve is fixed between the pair of arched support plates. The upper and lower edges of the arched support plates are provided with welded flanges, which are welded to the pads.

[0012] The reinforcing structure is an I-shaped reinforcing structure.

[0013] The pad has a wavy, bent structure between the two welding flange fixing areas.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] The car tow hook installation structure is rationally designed, utilizing both double-arch and I-beam structures to achieve a complementary effect of tiered load bearing. The new structural design enhances the structural load bearing capacity and strength, thereby improving structural reliability and maximizing material utilization while ensuring that the vehicle's load-bearing capacity is met.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through the description of the examples.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the vehicle tow hook mounting structure includes a frame longitudinal beam 1, a support bracket, a pad 6, and a mounting sleeve 3 for connecting to the tow hook body 2; the front end of the frame longitudinal beam is a hollow longitudinal beam structure with an opening at the top.

[0028] The mounting sleeve 3 is fixed inside the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame by a support bracket and a pad. The pad 6 is welded to the inner wall of the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame. The end of the pad 6 is provided with a flange structure that connects to the vehicle frame. The support bracket is welded to the side of the pad.

[0029] The mounting sleeve 3 is a threaded sleeve with internal threads. The inner end of the hook body is connected to the mounting sleeve through a threaded structure, making the connection simple.

[0030] The longitudinal beam 1 of the frame is reinforced by a supporting frame at the rear. The installation area is reinforced by two structures set at the front and rear to improve its bending resistance.

[0031] The lower end of the pad is provided with an inner end plate, which has a connecting hole. The inner end plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame longitudinal beam by bolts passing through the connecting hole, which further improves the structural strength; and this structure can ensure the structural fixing accuracy.

[0032] The support and fixing frame includes a pair of arched support and fixing plates, namely support and fixing plate I4 and support and fixing plate II5. The mounting sleeve is fixed between the pair of arched support and fixing plates. The upper and lower edges of the arched support and fixing plates are provided with welded flanges, which are welded to the pads. The pads have a wavy bending structure between the two welded flange fixing areas. The arched support and fixing plates have a certain deformation capacity to avoid damage during use.

[0033] The support and fixing plate is a bent arched structure. The support and fixing plate is fixed at the top and bottom. There is an arc-shaped area in the middle of the support and fixing plate for wrapping the outer edge of the installation sleeve. The two arc-shaped areas are connected and fixed by wrapping, which is reliable.

[0034] The reinforcing structure 7 is an I-shaped reinforcing structure; preferably, the reinforcing structure includes a side plate, a side plate, and a middle connecting plate. The side plate is welded to the inner wall of one side of the frame longitudinal beam, the other side plate is welded to the inner wall of the other side of the frame longitudinal beam, and the middle connecting plate is welded between the side plate and the other side plate to form an integral reinforcing structure.

[0035] This utility model utilizes a double-arch structure and an I-beam structure simultaneously to achieve a complementary effect of tiered load-bearing. The new structural design enhances the load-bearing performance and strength of the structure, thereby improving structural reliability and maximizing material utilization while ensuring that the vehicle's load-bearing capacity is met.
