Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traction technology, and in particular to a towing device for a trailer caravan. Background Technology
[0002] A towable caravan is a mobile living space that can be towed by a car, providing travelers with a convenient and flexible accommodation solution. Compared to motorhomes, towable caravans have advantages such as relatively lower prices, lower maintenance costs, and easier parking.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, when the RV towing device is in use, the tow bar will turn with the vehicle, causing the towed RV to sway from side to side. The poor stability of the tow bar will cause the towed RV to shake, thereby reducing the stability of the towed RV and reducing the service life of the tow bar. Moreover, most tow bars are of fixed size, which makes it inconvenient to adjust their length as needed. Too long or too many tow bars will affect the stability of the towed RV. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology where, when using a motorhome towing device, the tow bar causes the towed motorhome to sway left and right as the vehicle turns, resulting in poor stability and swaying of the towed motorhome. This reduces the stability of the towed motorhome and shortens the service life of the tow bar. Furthermore, most tow bars have fixed dimensions, making it inconvenient to adjust their length as needed. Excessively long or numerous tow bars can also affect the stability of the towed motorhome.

The other end of the second spring 125 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the L-shaped plate 123. Two round holes 126 are opened on the upper end of one side of the traction rod 104. A U-shaped plate 111 is fixedly installed on one end of the adjusting rod 108. A limiting pin 112 is movably embedded on the outer surface of the U-shaped plate 111. A first spring 113 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting pin 112. The other end of the first spring 113 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the U-shaped plate 111. A limiting hole 130 is opened on one end of the limiting pin 112. A connecting block 117 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one side of the U-shaped plate 111. A pin 116 is movably embedded on the outer surface of the connecting block 117. A third spring 118 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pin 116. The other end of the third spring 118 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting block 117. A threaded hole 127 is opened at the bottom of the pin 116. An adjusting screw 128 is installed in the internal thread of the threaded hole 127. A limiting plate 129 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the adjusting screw 128.
[0059] In this embodiment, the adjusting rod 108 is pulled out of the rectangular slide groove 106. A positioning block 109 is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting rod 108. The positioning block 109 is movably embedded in the through groove 107, which can improve the stability of the adjusting rod 108. After adjusting to a suitable position, the fixing bolt 119 is passed through the fixing hole 115 and one of the positioning holes 110 to position the adjusting rod 108. The nut 120 is threaded onto one end of the fixing bolt 119. After the nut 120 is tightened, the annular plate 122 drives the two L-shaped plates 123 to be located on both sides of the traction rod 104. The outer surface of the L-shaped plate 123 is movably embedded with a positioning pin 124. Under the elastic force of the second spring 125, the positioning pin 124 is embedded in the round hole 126, which can prevent the nut 120 from loosening and better improve the stability of the adjusting rod 108. To ensure the stability of the adjusting rod 108, a U-shaped plate 111 is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting rod 108. The U-shaped plate 111 is connected to the trailer caravan. Under the elastic force of the first spring 113, the limiting pin 112 is inserted into the through hole 131 and connected to the connecting parts of the trailer caravan. After the limiting pin 112 passes through the through hole 131, the pin 116 is inserted into the limiting hole 130 under the elastic force of the third spring 118 and passes out from the inside of the limiting hole 130. The pin 116 can improve the stability and connection of the limiting pin 112 and prevent the limiting pin 112 from loosening and causing the trailer caravan to detach. The bottom of the pin 116 has a threaded hole 127. The adjusting screw 128 can rotate inside the threaded hole 127, causing the limiting plate 129 to cross with the limiting hole 130. In this way, the pin 116 will not separate from the limiting pin 112.
[0060] Working principle: The U-shaped connecting plate 1 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the car. When the car turns, the tow bar 104 will rotate on the outer surface of the round shaft 114. The limiting rods 105 fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of both sides of the tow bar 104 rotate inside the semi-annular groove 102. The two semi-annular plates 101 can improve the stability of the tow bar 104 and prevent the tow bar 104 from bending and deforming when rotating. The limiting rods 105 and the semi-annular plates 101 can improve the stability of the tow bar 104 when rotating and improve the traction effect of the tow bar 104. Arc-shaped buffer rubber pads 103 are also fixedly installed on both sides of the U-shaped connecting plate 1. When the tow bar 104 rotates to the arc-shaped buffer rubber pad 103 on the outer surface of the round shaft 114, the arc-shaped buffer rubber pad 103 can play a buffering role to prevent the tow bar 104 from colliding directly with the U-shaped connecting plate 1, thereby improving the service life of the tow bar 104.
[0061] Pull the adjusting rod 108 out of the rectangular slide groove 106. A positioning block 109 is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting rod 108. The positioning block 109 is movably embedded in the through groove 107, which can improve the stability of the adjusting rod 108. After adjusting to a suitable position, the fixing bolt 119 is passed through the fixing hole 115 and one of the positioning holes 110 to position the adjusting rod 108. The nut 120 is threaded onto one end of the fixing bolt 119. After the nut 120 is tightened, the annular plate 122 drives the two L-shaped plates 123 to be located on both sides of the traction rod 104. The outer surface of the L-shaped plate 123 is movably embedded with a positioning pin 124. Under the elastic force of the second spring 125, the positioning pin 124 is embedded in the round hole 126, which can prevent the nut 120 from loosening and better improve the stability of the adjusting rod. To ensure the stability of the 108, a U-shaped plate 111 is fixedly installed at one end of the adjusting rod 108. The U-shaped plate 111 is connected to the trailer caravan. Under the elastic force of the first spring 113, the limiting pin 112 is inserted into the through hole 131 and connected to the connecting parts of the trailer caravan. After the limiting pin 112 passes through the through hole 131, the pin 116 is inserted into the limiting hole 130 under the elastic force of the third spring 118 and passes out from the inside of the limiting hole 130. The pin 116 can improve the stability and connection of the limiting pin 112 and prevent the limiting pin 112 from loosening and causing the trailer caravan to detach. The bottom of the pin 116 has a threaded hole 127. The adjusting screw 128 can rotate inside the threaded hole 127, causing the limiting plate 129 to cross with the limiting hole 130. In this way, the pin 116 will not separate from the limiting pin 112.
