[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a dump truck rear hook assembly includes an upper hook 1, a lower hook 2, and a locking device. The upper hook 1 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer side of the rear tailgate 3, and the lower hook 2 is installed on the outer side of the rear bottom beam 4 of the dump truck body. The two are on the same longitudinal central axis, so that the lower hook 2 can hook the corresponding upper hook 1.

[0021] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the upper hook 1 includes a fixing base and a clamping pin 12. The fixing base consists of a horizontal base plate and two symmetrical vertical clamping plates 11. The vertical clamping plates 11 are shaped like an inverted comma, with their "head" top surface being flat. The horizontal base plate is welded and fixed to the "head" plane of the two vertical clamping plates 11 to increase their strength. The two vertical clamping plates 11 are spaced apart from each other, and a coaxial fixing hole is provided at the "head" of the vertical clamping plates 11. The clamping pin 12 is horizontally and coaxially inserted into the fixing hole and can be disassembled and replaced. When the upper hook 1 is fixed to the rear tailgate 3, the horizontal base plate is welded and fixed to the bottom of the rear tailgate 3, and the tail of the vertical clamping plate 11 is welded and fixed to the outside of the rear tailgate 3 to form a stabilizing component.
