[0088] The inner plate assembly and the outer plate are fixed with a lock reinforcing plate 2, an outer plate reinforcing plate 4 and a hinge reinforcing plate 3 for supporting the engine hood structure, which not only plays a supporting role in the space of the engine hood, but also strengthens the connection strength of the supporting components such as the hinge, the engine hood locking structure, etc.
[0089] The engine hood is made of aluminum alloy material. Among them, the outer plate is converted from 0.7mm steel plate to 0.95mm aluminum plate, the inner plate is converted from 0.55mm steel plate to 0.8mm aluminum plate, the lock reinforcing plate 2 is 1.2mm aluminum plate, the outer plate reinforcing plate 4 is 1.2mm aluminum plate, and the hinge reinforcing plate 3 is 1.5mm aluminum plate; while significantly reducing the weight of the engine hood, the stiffness can still meet the assembly performance of the engine hood through CAE simulation calculation and actual detection.

The support glue of the protruding first lightening hole 104 connects the inner and outer plate structure, not only can make the glue groove point more uniform, but also can support the inner and outer plate cavity well, and cooperate with the reinforcing plates to support the space of the inner and outer plates, so that the support points of the outer plate in the range of 200mm diameter are achieved. The overall stiffness and NVH first-order mode of the engine cover are greatly improved.
