[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 The hood hinge 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. By arranging the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 to be separated and formed into a split design, energy absorption space for small offset collisions can be reserved. By arranging the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2, the strength of the hood hinge 100 is improved, the rigidity requirement of the overall structure of the hood 6 is met, and a good driving experience is provided to the user.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a hood hinge 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a rotating arm 5 , a first connecting rod 3 , a second connecting rod 4 , a first mounting seat 1 and a second mounting seat 2 .

[0037] The rotating arm 5 is used to be connected to the engine hood 6, such as Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the rotating arm 5 is connected to the rear end of the engine hood 6. If the shape of the rotating arm 5 is constructed into an L shape, the notch of the L-shaped rotating arm 5 is facing the inside of the vehicle body 7, and the top of the L-shaped rotating arm 5 can be fitted with the engine hood 6, and detachably connected by bolts and other connecting parts, the engine hood 6 can be fixed, and it is convenient to install and easy to operate.

[0038] The first link 3 and the second link 4 are spaced apart and are rotatably connected to the rotating arm 5, respectively. That is to say, the first link 3 and the second link 4 are spaced apart and connected to the rotating arm 5, and the first link 3 and the second link 4 are rotatable relative to the rotating arm 5, so that the rotation of the engine hood 6 can be realized, wherein the first link 3 and the second link 4 are rotatably connected to different positions on the side of the rotating arm 5, and the movement trajectories of the first link 3 and the second link 4 relative to the rotating arm 5 are different, and the engine hood 6 can be opened by the relative rotation between the first link 3 and the second link 4 and the rotating arm 5.

[0039] The end of the first connecting rod 3 away from the rotating arm 5 is rotatably connected to the first mounting seat 1, and the end of the second connecting rod 4 away from the rotating arm 5 is rotatably connected to the second mounting seat 2, and the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are spaced apart. The rotational connection between the first connecting rod 3, the rotating arm 5 and the first mounting seat 1 can be connected by a rotating shaft such as a rivet, so that the first connecting rod 3 can be rotated relative to the rotating arm 5 and the first mounting seat 1. Similarly, the rotational connection between the second connecting rod 4, the rotating arm 5 and the first mounting seat 1 is the same as that of the first connecting rod 3. In this way, the rotating arm 5 can be driven to open or retract by rotating the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 relative to the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 respectively, so that the reciprocating motion of the connecting rod mechanism can be realized to drive the engine hood 6 to open and close.

[0040] The first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are fixed parts, and the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are spaced apart and detachably connected to the vehicle body 7. The first connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected between the first mounting seat 1 and the rotating arm 5. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, one end of the first connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first mounting seat 1. After the connection, the relative rotation between the first mounting seat 1 and the rotating arm 5 can be realized, and the second connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected between the second mounting seat 2 and the rotating arm 5. Specifically, as shown Figure 4 As shown, one end of the second connecting rod 4 is rotationally connected to the rotating arm 5, and the other end is rotationally connected to the second mounting seat 2. After the connection, the second mounting seat 2 and the rotating arm 5 can rotate relative to each other. In this way, the rotating arm 5 can be rotated open or closed relative to the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 to realize the opening or closing of the engine hood 6 relative to the vehicle body 7. The structural strength of this connecting rod mechanism is high, which meets the strength requirements of the overall design of the engine hood 6.

[0041] Therefore, by setting the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2, and through the above-mentioned connection, the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 can be separated into a split design. Compared with the connecting rod mechanism of one mounting seat, the connecting rod mechanism of this embodiment allows the collision force to be dissipated through the gap between the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 after the vehicle is subjected to a small offset collision, thereby improving the service life of the engine hood hinge 100.

[0042] According to the engine hood hinge 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the first mounting seat 1 and the first connecting rod 3 rotationally connected and the second mounting seat 2 and the second connecting rod 4 rotationally connected, the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are separated and formed into a split design, which can achieve effective collapse when the vehicle encounters a small offset collision, and the engine hood hinge 100 has high strength to meet the rigidity requirements of the overall structure of the engine hood 6, and optimizes the weight of the engine hood hinge 100, providing the user with a good driving feel.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first mounting seat 1 is provided with a first limiting portion 11, and the first connecting rod 3 is suitable for being pressed against the first limiting portion 11 when the engine hood 6 is closed. That is, when the engine hood 6 is closed, the first connecting rod 3 and the first mounting seat 1 are pressed and limited at the first limiting portion 11, which can enhance the connection strength between the first connecting rod 3 and the first mounting seat 1.

[0044] And / or, the second mounting seat 2 is provided with a second limiting portion 21, and the second connecting rod 4 is suitable for being pressed against the second limiting portion 21 when the engine hood 6 is closed. That is, when the engine hood 6 is closed, the second connecting rod 4 and the second mounting seat 2 are pressed and limited at the second limiting portion 21, which can enhance the connection strength between the second connecting rod 4 and the second mounting seat 2.

[0045] Specifically, the first limit portion 11 is arranged on the rear side of the first mounting seat 1, and the first limit portion 11 is pressed and matched with the rear side limit of the first connecting rod 3, and the second limit portion 21 is arranged on the rear side of the second mounting seat 2, and the second limit portion 21 is pressed and matched with the rear side limit of the second connecting rod 4. The strength of the connecting rod mechanism can be enhanced by the limit pressing cooperation at two places. When the engine hood 6 is closed, the rotating arm 5 is in a horizontal state. At this time, the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 are pressed and matched with the first limit portion 11 and the second limit portion 21 respectively, which can improve the strength of the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4.

[0046] Therefore, when the vehicle is hit from the front, the first link 3 and the second link 4 will not be damaged, and the collision force can be dissipated through the gap between the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2, thereby preventing the engine hood hinge 100 from being damaged. At the same time, the limiting function of the first limiting portion 11 and the second limiting portion 21 can prevent the engine hood 6 from moving backward and downward and slipping on the surface of the door or fender when it is instantly opened, so that the engine hood 6 moves within a reasonable travel trajectory, ensuring the safety of the engine hood 6 when it is opened.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 11 is configured as a first limiting bolt 12 , and the first limiting bolt 12 is detachably mounted on the first mounting seat 1 .

[0048] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the first mounting seat 1 is provided with a first mounting hole, which can be a through hole or a threaded hole, and the first limiting portion 11 is constructed as a first limiting bolt 12, which is installed in the first mounting hole, so that the first limiting bolt 12 can be detachably connected to the first mounting seat 1, and its installation method is simple, and the installation height of the first limiting bolt 12 is adjustable, and the height of the first limiting bolt 12 is adjusted according to the height of the first connecting rod 3, so that the head of the first limiting bolt 12 can be limited and pressed against the first connecting rod 3, thereby ensuring reliable limiting between the two.

[0049] And / or, the second limiting portion 21 is configured as a second limiting bolt 22 , and the second limiting bolt 22 is detachably mounted on the second mounting seat 2 .

[0050] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the second mounting seat 2 is provided with a second mounting hole, and the second mounting hole can be a through hole or a threaded hole. The second limiting portion 21 is constructed as a second limiting bolt 22, and the second limiting bolt 22 is installed in the second mounting hole, so that the second limiting bolt 22 can be detachably connected to the second mounting seat 2. The installation method is simple, and the installation height of the second limiting bolt 22 is adjustable. The height of the second limiting bolt 22 is adjusted according to the height of the second connecting rod 4, so that the head of the second limiting bolt 22 can be limited and pressed against the second connecting rod 4, thereby ensuring reliable limiting between the two.

[0051] Therefore, by arranging the first limiting bolt 12 and the second limiting bolt 22 to be detachably connected, the installation of the two can be made more convenient, which is conducive to later disassembly and maintenance, and the cost is low.

[0052] In some embodiments, the supporting direction of the first limiting bolt 12 and the first connecting rod 3 and the supporting direction of the second limiting bolt 22 and the second connecting rod 4 intersect, that is, the two supporting directions are different. In other words, the installation directions of the first limiting bolt 12 and the second limiting bolt 22 are different, and the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 can be supported and limited in different directions.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the structures of the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 are different. The first connecting rod 3 is constructed as a straight connecting rod, and the second connecting rod 4 is constructed as a bent connecting rod, which are used to avoid other structures of the vehicle body 7. The first connecting rod 3 is formed with a pressure surface on the side close to the first limiting bolt 12, and the first limiting bolt 12 is installed vertically, so that the head of the first limiting bolt 12 is supported on the pressure surface of the first connecting rod 3 to achieve vertical support of the two. The second connecting rod 4 is formed with a pressure surface on the side close to the second limiting bolt 22, and the pressure surface is located at the center of the second connecting rod 4. The second limiting bolt 22 is installed obliquely, so that the head of the second limiting bolt 22 is supported on the pressure surface of the second connecting rod 4 to achieve oblique support of the two, and the second connecting rod 4 can be limited reliably.

[0054] Therefore, by setting vertical limits and oblique limits in the connecting rod mechanism, the internal structural strength of the connecting rod mechanism is increased, which is sufficient to resist the impact force when a small offset collision occurs, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength requirements of the engine hood 6.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are spaced apart and distributed along the front-to-back direction, and the first mounting seat 1 is located in front of the second mounting seat 2 .

[0056] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are spaced apart and distributed along the front-to-back direction, and the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 are spaced apart and distributed along the front-to-back direction, wherein, as Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting seat 1 is arranged in front of the second mounting seat 2, that is, the first mounting seat 1 is installed on the front side of the vehicle body 7 compared with the second mounting seat 2, and the first connecting rod 3 is located in front of the second connecting rod 4, that is, the first connecting rod 3 is installed on the front side of the rotating arm 5 compared with the second connecting rod 4, and the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 are spaced apart and distributed, so that when the first connecting rod 3 and the second connecting rod 4 rotate at the same time, they will not interfere with each other, which can ensure the normal rotation of the connecting rod mechanism, and its assembly is clearer and avoids errors.

[0057] In some embodiments, a rear protruding area 13 and a rear recessed area 14 are provided on the rear side of the first mounting seat 1, and a front protruding area 23 and a front recessed area 24 are provided on the front side of the second mounting seat 2, wherein at least a portion of the rear protruding area 13 extends to the front recessed area 24, and at least a portion of the front protruding area 23 extends to the rear recessed area 14.

[0058] Specifically, the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are both configured as irregular shapes, wherein Figure 1 As shown, the rear side of the first mounting seat 1 is provided with a rear protruding area 13 and a rear recessed area 14, the rear protruding area 13 protrudes toward the rear side, and the rear recessed area 14 is recessed toward the front side, so that the rear side of the first mounting seat 1 forms a gap along the front-to-back direction, and the front side of the second mounting seat 2 is provided with a front protruding area 23 and a front concave-convex area, the front protruding area 23 protrudes toward the front side, and the rear recessed area 14 is recessed toward the rear side, so that the rear side of the second mounting seat 2 forms a gap along the front-to-back direction, and at least part of the rear protruding area 13 extends to the front recessed area 24, and at least part of the front protruding area 23 extends to the rear recessed area 14, so that the arrangement of the second mounting seat 2 of the first mounting seat 1 can be realized, and the two are spaced apart to form a collapse area, thereby improving the performance of the connecting rod mechanism in resisting danger.

[0059] In some embodiments, a first collapse gap 15 is formed between the front protruding area 23 and the first mounting seat 1 , and a second collapse gap 25 is formed between the rear protruding area 13 and the second mounting seat 2 . The width of the first collapse gap 15 is smaller than the width of the second collapse gap 25 .

[0060] Specifically, the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are spaced apart to form two collapse gaps, namely, a first collapse gap 15 and a second collapse gap 25. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a first collapse gap 15 is formed between the first mounting seat 1 and the front protruding area 23, and a second collapse gap 25 is formed between the rear protruding area 13 and the second mounting seat 2. In the front-to-back direction, the width of the first collapse gap 15 is smaller than the width of the second collapse gap 25, and the first collapse gap 15 and the second collapse gap 25 are connected, so that the collision force is dissipated in time.

[0061] Therefore, by forming a collapse gap with different gaps between the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2, a small offset collision can be effectively collapsed, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first mounting seat 1 is provided with a first connecting hole 16 , and the second mounting seat 2 is provided with a second connecting hole 26 . The first connecting hole 16 and the second connecting hole 26 are respectively used to penetrate a connecting piece connected to the vehicle body 7 .

[0063] Specifically, the first mounting base 1 is provided with a first connecting hole 16, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are two first connection holes 16, and the two first connection holes 16 are spaced apart and distributed along the front-back direction of the first mounting seat 1, wherein the connecting member can be a connecting bolt. When the first mounting seat 1 is installed, the two connecting bolts are respectively inserted into the two first connection holes 16 and detachably connected to the vehicle body 7, so that the first mounting seat 1 and the vehicle body 7 can be connected and fixed. The second mounting seat 2 is provided with a second connection hole 26, and there are two second connection holes 26, and the two second connection holes 26 are spaced apart vertically. When the second mounting seat 2 is installed, the two connecting bolts are respectively inserted into the two second connection holes 26 and detachably connected to the vehicle body 7, so that the second mounting seat 2 and the vehicle body 7 can be connected and fixed, that is, the connection and fixation of the hood hinge 100 and the vehicle body 7 can be realized, and it is convenient for subsequent disassembly and maintenance. Among them, the first mounting seat 1 can also be connected and fixed to the structure of the vehicle body 7 through the first connection hole 16, and the second mounting seat 2 can be connected and fixed to the structure of the vehicle body 7 through the second connection hole 26, so that the connection and fixation of the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 and the vehicle body 7 can be realized.

[0064] The number of the first connection holes 16 and the second connection holes 26 is not limited to the present embodiment, and can be designed according to actual space requirements and installation requirements.

[0065] In some embodiments, at least one of the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 is provided with a positioning hole 17, and the positioning hole 17 is positioned and matched with the vehicle body 7. That is to say, the positioning hole 17 can be provided on the first mounting seat 1 or the second mounting seat 2, or the positioning hole 17 can be provided on both the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2, so that the positioning and matching of the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 can be achieved.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, a positioning hole 17 is provided on the second mounting seat 2. When installing the first mounting seat 1, the positioning hole 17 can be first positioned and matched with the vehicle body 7, wherein the positioning match can be fixed by welding, or installed by positioning pins, etc., and then the connecting piece is passed through the first connecting hole 16 and connected and fixed with the vehicle body 7 to ensure that the position of the first mounting seat 1 is accurate, and the second mounting seat 2 is connected and fixed with the vehicle body 7 close to the first mounting seat 1. In this way, it can be ensured that the hood hinge 100 is consistent with the design data after installation, and the rotating arm 5 and the hood 6 are accurately installed, thereby improving the accuracy of the connecting rod mechanism when driven.

[0067] The present invention also provides a vehicle.

[0068] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention, a hood hinge 100 as described in any one of the above embodiments is provided, and by arranging a first mounting seat 1 rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 3 and a second mounting seat 2 rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 4, the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 are spaced apart and are designed as a split type, so that effective collapse can be achieved when the vehicle encounters a small offset collision, and the hood hinge 100 has high strength to meet the stiffness requirements of the overall structure of the hood 6, and the weight of the hood hinge 100 is optimized to provide the user with a good driving feel.

[0069] And, if Figure 4 As shown, a three-dimensional view of the hood hinge 100 is shown, and the distribution of different structures on the hood hinge 100 can be seen. Specifically, the hood hinge 100 is arranged along the front and rear direction of the vehicle as a whole, such as Figure 5 As shown, an exploded view of the hood hinge 100 is shown, and the connection relationship between the different structures on the hood hinge 100 can be seen. Figure 4 and Figure 5, rotationally connect the first mounting seat 1 to the lower end of the first connecting rod 3, rotationally connect the rotating arm 5 to the upper end of the first connecting rod 3, rotationally connect the second mounting seat 2 to the lower end of the second connecting rod 4, rotationally connect the rotating arm 5 to the upper end of the second connecting rod 4, and then install the first mounting seat 1 and the second mounting seat 2 on the vehicle body 7 respectively, to complete the installation of the hood hinge 100.

[0070] In actual use, the hood hinge 100 includes two, which are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the hood 6. The two rotating arms 5 are detachably connected to the hood 6. Driven by the hood hinge 100, the rotating arms 5 can drive the hood 6 to expand or retract relative to the vehicle body 7 to open or close the hood 6, and ensure that the left and right sides of the hood 6 are evenly stressed, which is conducive to the opening and closing of the hood 6.
