TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of mechanical technology, and particularly relates to a hinge with a fixed angle function and a car engine cover provided with the hinge. BACKGROUND
[0002] The engine cover (referred to as engine cover) is used for protecting the engine and other components inside the engine compartment. One end of the engine cover is connected to the vehicle body through a hinge. When the engine and other components need to be maintained, the engine cover can be opened. There is a supporting rod in the engine compartment. The supporting rod is used for supporting the engine cover, so that the engine cover can be kept in an open state. This arrangement is not only troublesome to operate, but also affects the maintenance of the engine. It is common that the maintainer or the maintenance tool collides with the supporting rod. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a hinge with a fixed angle function and a car engine cover provided with the hinge.
[0004] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a hinge with a fixed angle function, characterized in that the hinge with a fixed angle function comprises a rotating disc and a fixed disc, the rotating disc and the fixed disc are coaxial with a center shaft, the rotating disc can rotate around the center shaft, and the fixed disc cannot rotate around the center shaft; a guide groove is arranged on the rotating disc, the guide groove comprises an arc-shaped groove and a sheet-shaped groove, the arc-shaped groove is an arc with the center shaft as the center, the sheet-shaped groove is located at one end of the arc-shaped groove and is connected with the arc-shaped groove, the sheet-shaped groove is distributed on the inner and outer sides of the arc-shaped groove, the sheet-shaped groove and the inner edge of the arc-shaped groove form a corner, a convex rib is arranged in the sheet-shaped groove, the convex rib is opposite to the corner at a distance, the distance from the top end of the convex rib to the center shaft is equal to the distance from the center of the arc-shaped groove to the center shaft; a rotating block is arranged on the fixed disc, the center of the rotating block is rotatably arranged on the fixed disc through a rotating shaft, the distance from the rotating shaft to the center shaft is equal to the distance from the center of the arc-shaped groove to the center shaft, the rotating block is located in the guide groove, the thickness of the rotating block is equal to the depth of the guide groove, the length of the rotating block is slightly greater than the distance between the corner and the top end of the convex rib, the width of the rotating block is equal to the width of the arc-shaped groove, the two side edges of the rotating block are concave arc-shaped edges, and the curvature of the arc-shaped edges is the same as the curvature of the inner edge of the arc-shaped groove, and the two ends of the rotating block are provided with concave corner blocks.
[0005] Further, a sealing layer is arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating disc or the fixed disc.
[0006] Further, the rotating disc and the fixed disc are respectively provided with a stop block, the two stop blocks are matched with each other to limit the maximum rotating angle of the rotating disc, and the maximum rotating angle of the rotating disc is less than ninety degrees.
[0007] A car engine cover, characterized in that the car engine cover is provided with the above-mentioned hinge with a fixed angle function, wherein the fixed disc is fixed to the vehicle body, and the rotating disc is fixed to the car engine cover.
[0008] The working process of the present application is as follows: before the cover is opened, the rotating block is located in the arc-shaped groove; when the cover is lifted, the cover drives the rotating disc to rotate, the rotating block slides relative to the arc-shaped groove, and the rotating block gradually separates from the arc-shaped groove; when the cover is close to vertical, the convex rib in the guide groove abuts against one end of the rotating block, at this time, the other end of the rotating block just passes the corner of the guide groove, the rotating block is slightly counterclockwise rotated under the action of the convex rib, at this time, the corner and the convex rib are both within the angle range of the clamping corners at both ends of the rotating block, and the cover cannot continue to rotate due to the action of the two stop blocks; since the cover is not in a vertical state, the cover will fall reversely after the hand is released, the corner of the guide groove just clamps the clamping corner at one end of the rotating block when the cover slightly falls, so that the rotating disc cannot rotate, the cover cannot fall down, and the cover is fixed at this position; if the cover is to be lowered, the cover is only needed to be pushed upward, the convex rib acts on the side of the rotating block to make the rotating block rotate counterclockwise again, the corner moves to the outside of the clamping corner of the rotating block, at this time, the corner and the convex rib are both not within the angle range of the clamping corners at both ends of the rotating block, the cover is released to make the cover fall down, since the corner and the convex rib are both not within the angle range of the clamping corners at both ends of the rotating block, the rotating block cannot block the rotating disc, and the cover cannot be blocked to fall down, with the falling of the cover, the corner acts on the side of the rotating block to make the rotating block rotate, so that the rotating block reenters the arc-shaped groove, but the rotating block has been rotated by 180° relative to the original position in the arc-shaped groove, that is, the clamping corners at both ends of the rotating block are exchanged, and when the cover falls back to the original position, a working cycle is completed.
[0009] The present application has the advantages that: the cover is automatically fixed at the maximum opening angle and cannot fall down after the hand is released, no supporting rod is needed, the operation is simple, convenient, fast, safe and reliable, the cover cannot affect the engine maintenance, and the cover can fall back to the original position by pushing the cover upward.
