[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] A square-mouth rear trailer hook seat includes a mounting bracket 1. The mounting bracket 1 includes a base plate 11, and two upwardly extending fixing plates 12 are respectively mounted on both sides of the base plate 11. Multiple fixing holes 13 are symmetrically formed on the fixing plates 12 on both sides. When installing the square-mouth rear trailer hook seat of this invention, the two fixing plates 12 are placed on both sides of the rear crossbeam 20 of the vehicle frame 19. The rear crossbeam 20 has through holes that mate with the fixing holes 13 on the fixing plates 12, and the through holes correspond one-to-one with the fixing holes 13 on the fixing plates 12. During fixing, bolts are passed through the fixing holes 13 on the two fixing plates 12 and the through holes on the rear crossbeam 20, and nuts are tightened on the bolts.
[0023] A guide plate 2 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting bracket 1. The guide plate 2 has guide holes 3, which are square in shape. The guide plate 2 is U-shaped, and both ends of the guide plate 2 have outward flanges 10. The flanges 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 1. The flanges 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 1 by bolts and nuts.
[0024] The mounting bracket 1 has a bracket through hole on its base plate 11. A base plate 11 nut is welded to the base plate 11 through hole. The flange 10 has a flange 10 through hole that matches the bracket through hole. The bolt passes through the flange 10 through hole and the base plate 11 through hole and is threadedly engaged with the base plate 11 nut.
[0025] The guide plate 2 has an inclined opening 14 on the lower side of its rear end. The opening 14 is inclined downward in the direction from back to front. By setting the inclined opening 14, this utility model can minimize the impact of the guide plate 2 on the departure angle of the whole vehicle when it is not being towed.
[0026] The rear end of the guide plate 2 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 21. The limiting groove 21 of this utility model cooperates with the outer pin hole 5 of the square tube 4. When the square tube 4 extends backward to its maximum length from the guide plate 2, the limiting groove 21 will be aligned with the outer pin hole 5 of the square tube 4. When the connecting tube 15 is inserted into the square tube 4, and the pin 18 is inserted into the outer pin hole 5 and the inner pin hole, the pin 18 will also be in the limiting groove 21. At this time, the limiting groove 21 can limit the square tube 4 and the connecting tube 15 through the pin 18, restricting the square tube 4 and the connecting tube 15 from moving forward within the guide plate 2.
[0027] A square tube 4 is slidably installed inside the guide hole 3. An external pin hole 5 is provided on the rear side of the square tube 4. The external pin hole 5 on the square tube 4 is used to connect with the connecting tube 15.
[0028] The guide plate 2 has a locking threaded hole 6, into which a locking bolt 7 is inserted. The locking threaded hole 6 is located at the bottom of the guide plate 2. In this invention, a through hole is provided at the bottom of the guide plate 2, and a nut is welded to the lower side of this through hole. The threaded hole in this nut forms the locking threaded hole 6. The locking bolt 7 rotates in the locking threaded hole 6, causing it to press against the bottom of the square tube 4, thereby limiting the shaking of the square tube 4.
[0029] A front limiting plate 8 and a rear limiting plate 9 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the square tube 4. By setting the front limiting plate 8 and the rear limiting plate 9, this utility model can restrict the square tube 4 from moving backward and forward in the guide hole 3, respectively.
[0030] This utility model, by setting a guide plate 2 and slidingly installing a square tube 4 in the guide hole 3 of the guide plate 2, allows adjustment of the length of the square tube 4 extending backward from the guide hole 3. When towing is required, we pull the square tube 4 backward until the front limit plate 8 on the front side contacts the guide plate 2. When towing is not required, we push the square tube 4 forward until the rear limit plate 9 contacts the guide plate 2. At this time, since the square tube 4 is pushed into the guide plate 2, the square tube 4 will not reduce the departure angle of the entire vehicle when towing is not required.
[0031] A rear trailer hitch assembly includes a trailer hitch assembly and the aforementioned rear trailer hitch square-mouth seat. The trailer hitch assembly includes a connecting pipe 15, the rear end of which is fixedly connected to a trailer hitch mounting seat 16. A trailer hitch 17 is mounted on the trailer hitch mounting seat 16. The front end of the connecting pipe 15 has an inner pin hole. The front end of the connecting pipe 15 is inserted into the inner cavity of the square-mouth tube 4, and a pin 18 is inserted into both the outer pin hole 5 and the inner pin hole. One end of the pin shaft can be inserted into an opening 14 pin.
[0032] An automobile includes a frame 19 and the aforementioned rear trailer hitch square bracket, the frame 19 including a rear crossbeam 20, and the mounting bracket 1 being fixedly mounted on the rear crossbeam 20.
