[0062] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0063] The following describes an engine hood according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the engine hood 100 is used for engineering machinery, and the engine hood includes a front hood assembly 1, a rear hood assembly 3 and a middle section assembly 2; the front hood assembly 1 includes a front skeleton module 11 and a front skin assembly 12 installed outside the front skeleton module 11; the rear hood assembly 3 is used to be independently installed on the rear frame 200 of the engineering machinery along the front and rear directions with the front hood assembly 1, and the rear hood assembly 3 includes a rear skeleton module 31 and a rear skin assembly 32 installed outside the rear skeleton module 31; the middle section assembly 2 includes a middle section skeleton assembly and a middle section skin assembly 23 installed outside the middle section skeleton assembly, and the front and rear ends of the middle section skeleton assembly are respectively installed on the front skeleton module 11 and the rear skeleton module 31.

[0065] It can be understood that the engine hood 100 in this embodiment is mainly used for loaders. The engine hood 100 is mainly improved to improve the aesthetic problems of the existing large loader block bulk engine hood 100, such as poor integrity, low assembly efficiency, inconsistent component installation datum, uneven gaps caused by too long dimension chains, unreasonable surface difference, etc., and is suitable for the engine hood 100 of large hybrid loaders.

[0066] The engine hood 100 in this embodiment adopts a segmented assembly structure, which can avoid the complex structure of the overall forward or backward flip in the prior art, reducing the production cost. At the same time, the front skeleton module 11 and the rear skeleton module 31 are independent of each other, so that the front cover assembly 1 and the rear cover assembly 3 have their own independent skeletons, and provide their own skin installation points respectively, so that the front skin component 12 and the rear skin component 32 are independent of each other, avoiding the situation where the front skin component 12 and the rear skin component 32 are installed across the system, the dimension chain is short, and the cumulative assembly error is small. The gap and face difference in each skin component can be adjusted during offline pre-installation. The components of the middle section assembly 2 are installed on the front cover assembly 1 and the rear cover assembly 3. On the whole machine, it is only necessary to adjust the gap and face difference between the relevant components of the middle section assembly 2 and the components of the middle section assembly 2 and the front and rear cover assemblies 3. The engine hood 100 is specifically divided into three sections from front to back, namely, the front hood assembly 1, the middle section assembly 2 and the rear hood assembly 3, forming a segmented assembled engine hood 100; wherein, the front hood assembly 1 and the rear hood assembly 3 are independently mounted on the rear frame 200, the middle section skeleton assembly is mounted on the front hood assembly 1 and the rear hood assembly 3, and the middle section skin assembly 23 is assembled on the middle section skeleton assembly. The present invention realizes modular installation of the engine hood 100, with high assembly efficiency; and minimizes the associated dimension chain of related parts with strict clearance requirements, thereby improving the problem of poor aesthetics such as uneven clearance and unreasonable surface difference in the prior art engine hood 100.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it should be noted that the front frame module 11 and the rear frame module 31 are both frame structures, and are in a cubic shape as a whole. The cross-sections of the front frame module 11 and the rear frame module 31 are both rectangular, with a simple and square structure, which is easy to assemble and produce. The front-to-back direction is the length direction of the engineering machinery, and the left-to-right direction is the width direction of the engineering machinery.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the middle section skin assembly 23 includes a middle top cover 231, a side door assembly and a middle skin 235. The middle top cover 231 is installed on the top of the middle section skeleton assembly, and the front and rear ends of the middle top cover 231 are respectively installed on the front skeleton module 11 and the rear skeleton module 31; the middle section skeleton assembly is provided with a maintenance opening, and the two side door assemblies are relatively installed at the maintenance opening along the left-right direction, and the side door assemblies are used to open or close the maintenance opening; the two middle skins 235 are relatively arranged along the left-right direction, and the side door assemblies are located between the middle skin 235 and the middle top cover 231 along the up-down direction.

[0069] The middle skin assembly 23 in this embodiment includes a middle top cover 231, a side door assembly and a middle skin 235 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The block design of installing the side door assembly at the maintenance port can facilitate the maintenance and repair of the components in the engine hood 100. The front and rear ends of the middle top cover 231 are respectively installed on the front frame module 11 and the rear frame module 31, which can enhance the structural strength of the engine hood 100. In this embodiment, the front cover assembly 1, the rear cover assembly 3 and the middle frame assembly can all be connected to the side door assembly, further improving the structural strength of the engine hood 100.

[0070] In one embodiment, the middle frame assembly includes two middle frames 21 arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction, the middle frame 21 includes a vertical plate 212 and two horizontal plates 211 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, the upper and lower ends of the vertical plate 212 are respectively installed on the two horizontal plates, and the front and rear ends of the horizontal plate are correspondingly installed on the front frame module 11 and the rear frame module 31. The middle frame 21 in this embodiment is arranged in an I-shaped manner, including two horizontal plates 211 and one vertical plate 212, and has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0071] like Figure 4As shown, the middle section skeleton assembly also includes a transition bracket 22 for connecting the rear frame 200 and the middle skin 235, the two transverse plates are respectively an upper transverse plate and a lower transverse plate, the middle top cover 231 is mounted on the upper transverse plate, the side door lock of the side door assembly is mounted on the vertical plate 212, and the upper and lower ends of the middle skin 235 are respectively mounted on the lower transverse plate and the transition bracket 22. The transition bracket 22 in this embodiment is L-shaped, and the middle skin 235 can be mounted on the rear frame 200 through the transition bracket 22. The middle top cover 231, the side door assembly and the middle skin 235 in this embodiment are all mounted on the same middle skeleton 21, which can avoid the uneven gap caused by the middle top cover 231, the side door assembly and the middle skin 235 being assembled on different skeletons.

[0072] Specifically, the side door assembly includes a small side door 234 and a large side door 233 independently arranged along the front-back direction, the length of the large side door 233 is greater than the length of the small side door 234, the large side door 233 is installed on the rear frame module 31, the small side door 234 is installed on the front frame module 11, and the lower edges of the large side door 233 and the small side door 234 are both against the middle skin 235. The small side door 234 in this embodiment is located in front of the large side door 233, and the two side door assemblies in this embodiment are relatively arranged along the left-right direction, and each side door assembly includes a large side door 233 and a small side door 234, so that the engine hood 100 forms a four-door structure, which is convenient for maintenance and can also avoid the situation of poor structural strength due to the excessive size of the side door by matching the large and small doors. The upper edge of the middle skin 235 in this embodiment matches the lower edge of the side door assembly, and the large side door 233 and the small side door 234 are matched with the same middle skin 235 at the same time, which can facilitate the control of the face difference and the gap and improve the face difference and the gap accuracy.

[0073] It should be noted that the left and right sides of the middle top cover 231 are provided with top cover folding edges 232 for covering the assembly gap; and the upper edge of the middle skin 235 is provided with a skin folding edge for covering the assembly gap. In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the middle top cover 231 are provided with top cover folding edges 232. After the middle top cover 231 is installed, the side door assembly is assembled, and the side door assembly can cover the top cover folding edge 232. The skin folding edge completely covers the upper edge of the middle skin 235. After the side door assembly is installed, the middle skin 235 is assembled, and the middle skin 235 can cover the skin folding edge, which can improve the aesthetics of the engine hood.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the front skin assembly 12 includes a front top cover 121, two upper side panels 122 and two lower side panels 123 located below the upper side panels 122.

It should be noted that the front top cover 121, the two upper side panels 122 and the two lower side panels 123 are all rectangular panels, and the upper and lower block design can be easily disassembled to meet the maintenance of the covered parts. In this embodiment, the front top cover 121, two upper side panels 122 and two lower side panels 123 are all installed on the front frame module 11. The front top cover 121 adopts a whole plate design, and the side adopts the structure of upper and lower block panels. A side reinforcing crossbeam is set on the side of the front frame module 11, providing an installation point for each of the upper side panels 122 and the lower side panels 123, which can ensure the structural strength of the front cover assembly 1, and can disassemble the side of the front cover assembly 1 in upper and lower blocks, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance. All parts of the front cover assembly 1 can be pre-installed offline, and after adjusting the gap surface difference between adjacent parts, the whole can be hoisted to the rear frame 200 of the engineering machinery, without the need to assemble them one by one to the engineering machinery, and the gap surface difference adjustment can be completed offline, reducing the time of climbing operations and improving assembly efficiency.

[0075] In addition, the rear skin assembly 32 includes a rear top cover 321, a rear top window, a rear door 322, two rear side skin welded parts 323 and two rear side windows 324.

In this embodiment, the rear top cover 321, the rear door 322, the two rear side skin welded parts 323 and the two rear side windows 324 are all rectangular plates, and the rear door 322 and the rear side windows 324 are all porous plates, and are provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes. All parts of the rear cover assembly 3 can be pre-installed offline, and after adjusting the gap surface difference between adjacent parts, they are hoisted as a whole to the rear frame 200 of the engineering machinery. There is no need to assemble them to the engineering machinery piece by piece, and the gap surface difference adjustment can be completed offline, which reduces the time of high-altitude operations and improves assembly efficiency.

[0076] The present invention further provides an engine hood assembly method, which is applied to the above engine hood 100. The engine hood assembly method comprises:
