The mounting and removal methods are simple and fast; no additional auxiliary tool is needed; and the present disclosure is practical and efficient.
As one preferable implementation, the vertical adjustment arm 4 is U-shaped; the vertical adjustment arm 4 includes a bottom plate 11 connected to the towing cantilever 3; a left side plate 12 and a right side plate 13 are formed on two sides of the bottom plate 11; the adjustment holes 5 are correspondingly formed in the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 13; the bottom plate 11 cooperates with the two side plates to form a mounting slot 14; the mounting seat 9 is mounted in the mounting slot 14, so that the spatial arrangement is reasonable, and the connection is stable; the mounting seat 9 can slide up and down in the mounting slot 14, so as to find an adjustment hole 5 with a proper height; and the buffer gasket 8 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting part 16 on the mounting seat 9, that is, it is abutted against the slot bottom of the mounting slot 14.
As one preferable implementation, the mounting seat 9 includes a mounting part 15 and the connecting part 16; a mounting hole 6 connected to the vertical adjustment arm 4 is formed in the connecting part 16; several towing members 10 are arranged on a circumferential side of the mounting part 15. The towing members have a reasonable structural design and will not interfere with each other to affect the use. Preferably, the connecting part 16 and/or the mounting part 15 is rectangular, so that a contact plane, where the connecting part 16 is mounted, on the vertical adjustment arm 4 is enlarged, and it is convenient to arrange the towing members 10 around the mounting part 15 and to adjust and determine a mounting angle.
In order to reasonable utilize the space of the connecting part 16, the mounting hole 6 includes a transverse mounting hole 17 and a longitudinal mounting hole 18 which are formed in an intersection manner. This structure saves the space, and positions, to which the towing assembly 2 is rotated, of the mounting holes 6 of all the end surfaces are consistent. The gap between the connecting part 16 and the vertical adjustment arm 4 is constant, so that the effect of the buffer gasket 8 is stable; the transverse mounting hole 17 horizontally penetrates through left and right ends of the connecting part 16; and the longitudinal mounting hole 18 vertically penetrates through upper and lower ends of the connecting part 16. According to the present disclosure, the mounting holes 6 are formed in a peripheral side of the connecting part 16, so that the towing assembly 2 can be mounted in different directions. The towing assembly can be fixed on the vertical adjustment arm 4 when rotated to all the end surfaces, so that it is convenient to use the towing members 10 at different positions on the mounting part 15 or adjust the towing member 10 to be used to a proper angle.
Preferably, the transverse mounting hole 17 and the longitudinal mounting hole 18 are each formed in pairs. That is, during mounting, two adjustment pins 7 are used for plugging connection to prevent the towing assembly 2 from rotating around the adjustment pins 7. The upper and lower parallel adjustment pins 7 are stressed more uniformly, thus achieving double insurance, and the towing assembly 2 is mounted more stably and firmly. Of course, the number of the mounting holes 6 in each side can be increased or decreased, and both increase and decrease fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
The above embodiments are only preferable embodiments of the present disclosure and do not limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
