[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] Example: A connecting device for the square opening 1 of a trailer bumper, see attached document. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This device is used to connect the square opening 1 of the trailer bumper to the square tube 2 of the trailer hitch connector. The connecting device includes a connecting block 3 and a connecting bolt 4. The connecting block 3 is inserted into the square tube 2. The two opposite sides of the connecting block 3 are set as two connecting surfaces. The connecting block 3 is provided with a connecting hole 31 that penetrates the connecting block 3 in a direction perpendicular to the connecting surface. The two side walls of the square tube 2 corresponding to the two connecting surfaces and the two side walls of the square opening 1 corresponding to the two connecting surfaces are provided with through holes that can be aligned with the connecting hole 31. The connecting bolt 4 includes a screw and a head 41. The screw passes through at least one through hole of the square opening 1 and one side of the square tube 2 and is threaded into the connecting hole 31. The head 41 of the connecting bolt 4 can be pressed against the outside of the square opening 1.

[0024] Tightening the connecting bolt 4 onto the connecting block 3 allows the sidewalls of the square tube 2 and the square opening 1 to be pressed together through the connecting block 3 and the head 41 of the connecting bolt 4. This ensures that the square tube 2 and the square opening 1 fit tightly together, making it difficult for them to shift relative to each other. As a result, even if the car bumps during driving, the square tube 2 and the square opening 1 will not collide with each other, thus preventing noise and wear caused by collisions.

[0025] Specifically, the screw includes a threaded portion 42 and a smooth portion 43. The threaded portion 42 is threadedly engaged with the connecting hole 31, and the smooth portion 43 passes through the side wall of the connecting block 3, the square tube 2 and the square opening 1 and extends out of the square opening 1.

[0026] Specifically, the screw also includes a limiting part 44, which is located at the end of the smooth rod part 43 away from the threaded part 42; a retaining pin 5 is detachably connected to the limiting part 44.

[0027] The limiting part 44 and the locking pin 5 are designed to prevent the screw from disengaging from the connecting block 3, the square opening 1 and the square tube 2.

[0028] Specifically, the limiting part 44 is provided with an annular groove 441 surrounding the limiting part 44, and the locking pin 5 is engaged in the groove 441. In the prior art, a hole is usually made in the limiting part 44 that penetrates the limiting part 44 radially, and then the locking pin 5 is inserted into the hole to connect the locking pin 5 to the limiting part 44. However, in actual use, since the number of rotations of the screw is not fixed, the orientation of the through hole is not fixed. As a result, when both ends of the through hole are blocked by external devices, the locking pin 5 is not easy to engage. With the setting of the groove 441 in this application, the locking pin 5 can be engaged in the groove 441 on the outside of the screw from a convenient angle, no matter how many times the screw rotates.

[0029] Specifically, the outer sleeve of the screw is provided with a washer 6, which is disposed between the head 41 of the bolt 4 and the square opening 1; the washer 6 includes at least a flat washer 6 and a spring washer 6.

[0030] Specifically, the sides of both ends of the connecting hole 31 are provided with chamfers to facilitate the insertion of the screw.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
