The bracket component 100 and the hinge structure 200 together form the connection structure between the hood assembly 30 and the vehicle frame 20. That is, the hood assembly 30 is positioned and assembled on the vehicle frame 20 and surrounding accessories through the bracket component and the hinge structure 200. Specifically, the bracket component 100 is assembled on the vehicle frame 20 and can be self-positioned and fixed on the vehicle frame 20. Correspondingly, the hinge structure 200 is assembled on the bracket component 100 and is configured to be adjustable and fixed in a set direction. At the same time, the hinge structure 200 is connected to the hood assembly 30, and the hood assembly 30 is configured to be adjustable and fixed in another set direction, thereby realizing the adjustability of the hood assembly 30 during the assembly process to achieve the best fit between the hood assembly 30 and the surrounding parts.

[0035] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and 2 The aforementioned bracket component 100 has a first mounting portion 100a and a second mounting portion 100b. The first mounting portion 100a serves as a connecting portion 100c between the bracket component 100 and the vehicle frame 20, and can be fixed to the vehicle frame 20. In some embodiments, the vehicle frame 20 has a mounting plane 200. Correspondingly, the first mounting portion 100a is configured as a plate-like component, and at least two positioning holes 304 are provided on the first mounting portion 100a. For example, a positioning hole 304 is provided at each end of the first mounting portion 100a. The mounting plane 200 of the vehicle frame 20 is provided with a positioning nut 305 at a position corresponding to the positioning hole 304. The specifications of the positioning hole 304 and the positioning nut 305 on the vehicle frame 20 are compatible. The first mounting portion 100a and the bracket component 100 are fixed to the vehicle frame 20 by bolts or other connecting components. Figure 1 and 2 Continuing with the description of the structure of the bracket component 100, the bracket component 100 further includes a connecting portion 100c. The second mounting portion 100b is connected to and fixed to the first mounting portion 100a through the connecting portion 100c. Exemplarily, the connecting portion 100c is configured as a plate-shaped component arranged at a 90° angle to the first mounting portion 100a. In some embodiments, the second mounting portion 100b has at least one first positioning plane 101. The first positioning plane 101 is configured as the assembly surface of the fixing component 201 in the subsequent hinge structure 200. In some embodiments, the first positioning plane 101 is arranged parallel to the contact surface between the first mounting portion 100a and the vehicle frame 20, that is, parallel to the mounting plane 200 on the vehicle frame 20.

[0036] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and 3The hinge structure 200 includes a movable component 202 and a fixed component 201. The fixed component 201 is mounted on the first positioning plane 101 of the support component 100. The fixed component 201 is configured to move in a direction parallel to the first positioning plane 101 and to be fixed after positioning, thereby enabling position adjustment of the hinge structure 200 in that direction. In some embodiments, the fixed component 201 has at least one first adjustment hole 300. Correspondingly, the first positioning plane 101 has an adjustment nut 301. The fixed component 201 is fixed by the cooperation of bolts or other connecting parts and the adjustment nut 301. The fixing component 201 is fixed on the first positioning plane 101, and the diameter of the first adjusting hole 300 is larger than the diameter of the adjusting nut 301, so as to allow the fixing component 201 to move in the circumferential direction (i.e., parallel to the first positioning plane 101) of the adjusting nut 301 and be fixed in the axial direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction). In some embodiments, the bracket component 100 further includes a limiting part 204 formed on the edge of the second mounting part 100b. The limiting part 204 and the connecting part 100c of the bracket component 100 work together to limit the movement of the fixing component 201, so as to limit the movement distance of the fixing component 201 in this direction.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second mounting portion 100b has two first positioning planes 101, which are spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the first positioning planes 101. Correspondingly, the fixing component 201 has a first plate portion 201a and a second plate portion 201b, which are respectively mounted on the two first positioning planes 101 on the bracket component 100. For example, each of the two first positioning planes 101 is provided with at least one adjusting nut 301. Correspondingly, each of the first plate portion 201a and the second plate portion 201b of the fixing component 201 is provided with at least one first adjusting hole 300 corresponding to the adjusting nut 301 on the first positioning plane 101. The fixing component 201 is adjusted and fixed based on the function of the two first adjusting holes 300 and the adjusting nut 301.

[0038] Back Figure 2 and 3Continuing with the description of the hinge structure 200, the movable component 202 has a connecting portion 202a, a torsion portion 202b, and a positioning portion 202c. The connecting portion serves as the connection between the movable component 202 and the fixed component 201. In some embodiments, the connecting portion and the fixed component 201 are configured to rotate, that is, the movable component 202 is configured to rotate relative to the movable component 202 with the connecting portion as a reference, and can be fixed after rotation adjustment. The axis of rotation is set perpendicular to the first positioning plane 101. For example, the connecting portion is assembled to the second plate portion 201b by a pin 205 and is provided with a limiting component (e.g., a bolt) to realize the rotation adjustment of the movable component 202 relative to the fixed component 201, and the fixation after rotation adjustment.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and 4 Continuing with the description of the hinge structure 200, the aforementioned torsion portion 202b serves as the connection point between the joining portion and the positioning portion 202c. The positioning portion 202c has at least one second positioning plane 203, which is perpendicular to the first positioning plane 101 and forms the mounting surface of the cap assembly 30. The cap assembly 30 is configured to be adjustable and positioned in a direction parallel to the second positioning plane 203, and then fixed after positioning, thereby assembling the cap assembly 30 and the movable part 202. In some embodiments... When at least one second adjustment hole 302 is provided on a second positioning plane 203, for example, a single second positioning plane 203 has two spaced parts, each part is provided with a second adjustment hole 302, and corresponding to the second adjustment hole 302, the hair cap assembly 30 is provided with a pre-embedded bolt 303 at a set position, and the diameter of the second adjustment hole 302 is larger than the outer diameter of the pre-embedded bolt 303, so as to allow the hair cap assembly 30 to be adjusted in a direction parallel to the second positioning plane 203 and fixed in a direction perpendicular to the second positioning plane 203.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 The positions of the bracket component 100 and the hinge structure 200 are further explained using the coordinate system in the figure as a reference. At this time, the first positioning plane 101 is configured to be parallel to the XOZ plane, and the second positioning plane 203 is configured to be parallel to the XOY plane. In some embodiments, the fixing component 201 is configured to be linearly movable in a first direction, which is parallel to the first positioning plane 101 (i.e., the XOZ plane) and is configured as the Z-axis direction. Correspondingly, the cover assembly 30 is configured to be linearly movable in a second direction and a third direction, which are both parallel to the second positioning plane 203 (i.e., the XOY plane), and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Correspondingly, the second direction and the third direction are configured as the X-axis and Y-axis directions, respectively.
