[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle engine cover technology, specifically to a vehicle engine cover and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As the number of cars continues to increase, users have higher and higher requirements for car quality. Good practicality and convenience are increasingly valued in the process of car development. As one of the opening parts on the car body, the engine hood generally maintains a fixed opening degree after opening, so that users or car maintenance personnel can carry out work such as repairing and replacing parts, adding oil, changing coolant and adding air conditioning refrigerant in the engine compartment.

[0003] However, existing car engine hoods are generally fixed structures, using sheet metal and trim panels to fasten them together. Furthermore, there is no storage space on the car engine hood. When users drive to outdoor recreational areas, the sloping surface of the car engine hood makes it inconvenient to place items, and there is no place for users to place items at the front of the parked vehicle, thus failing to meet users' needs for placing items outdoors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle engine hood and a vehicle, which, when the vehicle engine hood is opened, provides a large storage space to meet the user's need for outdoor storage of items.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, after the hood body is opened to a predetermined angle relative to the front engine compartment of the vehicle, the storage panel in the fully unfolded state is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member is a rod, one end of the connecting member is hinged to the machine cover body and / or one end of the connecting member is hinged to the shelf adjacent to the upper end of the connecting member, and the other end of the connecting member is hinged to the shelf adjacent to the lower end of the connecting member.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one end of the connector is slidably hinged to the corresponding hood body or the storage plate, so that the connector and the storage plate below the connector can be in a retracted state.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, all the hinge points where the storage plate is hinged to the machine cover body and the connection points where the connector is connected to the machine cover body are located on the same plane.

[0015] As one embodiment of the present invention, when all the shelves are in the unfolded state, there are two connecting members on the upper and lower sides of each shelf that are adjacent and located on the same straight line.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, when each of the shelves is in a fully extended state, the plurality of connectors located on the same straight line are hinged to each other.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the machine cover body and the connector and / or the storage plate and the connector are detachably connected.

[0018] As one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle engine hood further includes a drive member connected to the lowermost shelf, the drive member being configured to drive the other shelves to retract or expand simultaneously by driving the lowermost shelf to retract or expand.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the storage panel is a decorative panel on the machine cover body.

[0020] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides a vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle engine hood.

[0038] When numerical ranges are given in the embodiments, it should be understood that, unless otherwise stated in the present invention, both endpoints of each numerical range and any value between the two endpoints may be selected. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention, as well as the prior art known to those skilled in the art and the description of this invention, may be implemented using any prior art methods, devices, and materials similar to or equivalent to those described, used, or made of materials in the embodiments of this invention.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a vehicle engine hood, including a hood body 1 and at least one storage panel 2; one end of the hood body 1 is provided with a first connecting part 11 that connects to the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle and enables the hood body 1 and the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle to form a set angle connection; one end of the storage panel 2 is connected to the hood body 1; the storage panel 2 is configured to switch between a retracted state and an unfolded state.

[0040] When the storage panel 2 is in the retracted state, both ends are close to or attached to the inner panel 12 of the hood body 1, and the hood body 1 can cover the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle; when the storage panel 2 is in the unfolded state, at least one end is away from the inner panel 12 and forms a storage space with the inner panel 12.

[0041] It should be noted that, as an example, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, one end of the storage panel 2 connected to the hood body 1 is the first end 22, and the other end of the storage panel 2 away from the hood body 1 is the second end 23. The two ends of the storage panel 2 in the retracted state refer to the first end 22 and the second end 23. The vehicle hood is a structure that protects the vehicle engine, and the hood body 1, as one of the opening components on the vehicle's front engine compartment 100, is generally supported by a strut when open to maintain a fixed opening degree. When the strut is a telescopic component, the hood body 1 can also maintain an adjustable opening degree. The hood body 1 is connected to the vehicle's front engine compartment 100 via a first connecting part 11. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and 6 The vehicle's front engine compartment 100 is provided with a slot 102, and the hood body 1 can be connected to the vehicle's front engine compartment 100 via a first connecting part 11, so that when the hood body 1 is opened, a set angle is formed between the hood body 1 and the vehicle's front engine compartment 100; please refer to Figure 1-4 The hood body 1 and the vehicle's front engine compartment 100 can also be hinged, and the hinge is provided with rotational damping so that when the hood body 1 is opened, the hood body 1 and the vehicle's front engine compartment 100 can maintain a set angle of opening; please refer to Figure 2-4The hood body 1 is hinged to the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle. When the hood body 1 is opened, it is supported by a strut to maintain a set angle of opening. A storage panel 2 is provided on the hood body 1, with at least one end of the unfolded storage panel 2 away from the inner panel 12 of the hood body 1, creating a storage space between the storage panel 2 and the inner panel 12. The unfolded storage panel 2 can hold vehicle repair tools, personal items, and other necessary items, such as when the vehicle is parked outdoors, like on a beach. The storage panel 2 and the hood body 1 can be detachably connected; or the storage panel 2 and the hood body 1 can be hinged, or... Figure 7 The storage panel 2 shown is connected to the machine cover body 1 at a set angle through an insertion connection, or the storage panel 2 is supported by a strut between the storage panel 2 and the machine cover body 1 to maintain a set angle between them; for example Figure 7 As shown, when the storage board 2 is inserted into the machine cover body 1, the machine cover body 1 can be provided with multiple angled insertion slots to adjust the insertion angle of the storage board 2. For example, the opening of one insertion slot is kept parallel to the inner plate 12 of the machine cover body 1 so that the storage board 2 can be easily folded up, and the opening of another insertion slot is oriented at a preset angle to the inner plate 12 so that at least one end of the storage board 2 in the unfolded state is away from the inner plate 12 and forms a storage space between it and the inner plate 12; Figure 4 As shown, when the storage panel 2 is in the retracted state, the surface on which items are placed is close to or abuts the inner panel 12 of the hood body 1. When the hood body 1 has a concave structure, the surface on which items are placed on the storage panel 2 can be located within the concave area enclosed by the hood body 1, so that the hood body 1 can better cover the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle without occupying the space of the front engine compartment 100. When the storage panel 2 is in the unfolded state, at least one end is away from the inner panel 12 of the hood body 1 and forms a storage space between the storage panel 2 and the inner panel 12 of the hood body 1. The storage panel 2 can also be both ends away from the hood body 1, so that a storage space is formed between the storage panel 2 and the inner panel 12 of the hood body 1 when the storage panel 2 is in the unfolded state. If the storage panel 2 is hinged to the hood body 1 by a parallel four-bar linkage, both ends of the storage panel 2 can be away from the inner panel 12 of the hood body 1 when the storage panel 2 is in the unfolded state.

[0042] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in one embodiment of this case, the hood body 1 is hinged to the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle via the first connecting part 11 along the first direction.

[0043] It should be noted that the first direction is the axial direction of the hinge axis of the hinge body 1 and the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle; by hinged to the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle, the hood body 1 can be opened or closed on the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle. Compared with the plug-in connection method, it is easier to open the hood body 1.

[0044] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a front storage box 101 is provided on the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle, and the front storage box 101 is used for storage.

[0045] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in one embodiment of this case, the end of the storage plate 2 is hinged to the machine cover body 1 along the first direction.

[0046] It should be noted that by hinged to the cover body 1, the shelf 2 can be easily unfolded or folded on the cover body 1. Compared with the plug-in connection method, the shelf 2 is easier to unfold or fold and is more convenient to use.

[0047] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in one embodiment of this case, a support member 3 is provided between the storage panel 2 and the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle and / or between the storage panel 2 and the engine hood body 1 and / or between two adjacent storage panels 2.

[0048] It should be noted that the support member 3 is a support rod, support column, or support platform, and its main function is to bear the supporting force. The support rod, support column, or support platform can be made of metal, plastic, wood, or other materials that meet the usage requirements, as long as they can fulfill the supporting purpose of the support member 3. Each shelf 2 can be supported on the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle by the corresponding support member 3, or the bottom or top shelf 2 can be supported on the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle by the support member 3, while adjacent shelves 2 can be supported by other means. The support member 3 can be raised or lowered to form a storage space between two adjacent storage panels 2. When not in use, one end of the support member 3 can be hinged to the storage panel 2 or not connected to the storage panel 2. Two adjacent storage panels 2 are supported by the support member 3 to form a storage space between them. The storage panel 2 and / or the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle are provided with a limiting groove so that the end of the support member 3 is limited when supporting the storage panel 2, preventing the support member 3 from suddenly tilting over and causing the storage panel 2 to fold up or the items on the storage panel 2 to be unable to be placed stably.

[0049] like Figure 2 , 4As shown in Figure 8, in one embodiment of this case, a connector 4 is provided between the storage panel 2 and the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle and / or between the storage panel 2 and the engine hood body 1 and / or between two adjacent storage panels 2.

[0050] It should be noted that the connecting member 4 is a pull rope or a pull rod, and the connecting member 4 that is a pull rope or a pull rod mainly bears the tensile force; as long as it can satisfy the purpose of the connecting member 4 to lift the corresponding shelf 2, it is acceptable; the machine cover body 1 can lift each corresponding shelf 2 through the corresponding connecting member 4, or the machine cover body 1 can lift the bottom or top shelf 2 through the corresponding connecting member 4, and adjacent shelves 2 can be supported or lifted in other ways to form a storage space between adjacent shelves 2; when the connecting member 4 is not in use, one end of the connecting member 4 can be hinged to the machine cover body 1 or not connected to the machine cover body 1; adjacent shelves 2 can be lifted through the connecting member 4 to form a storage space between adjacent shelves 2.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, further, the connecting member 4 is a rod or rope; the rod is a tie rod or a support rod.

[0052] It should be noted that, Figure 8 In this design, a support member 3 is provided at the lower end of the lower shelf 2, while the upper shelf 2 is connected to the hood body 1 by a rope. The upper shelf 2 and the lower shelf 2 are connected by a rope, so that the weight of the upper shelf 2 and the items placed on it is borne by the hood body 1, while the weight of the lower shelf 2 and the items placed on it is mainly borne by the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle. When the rope between the upper and lower shelves 2 is taut, the hood body 1 can also share part of the weight of the lower shelf 2 and the items placed on it, thus making the force on the hood body 1 and the front engine compartment 100 more balanced, which is conducive to extending the service life of the hood body 1 and the front engine compartment 100.

[0053] Furthermore, the upper shelf 2 and the lower shelf 2 are connected by a support member 3, which enables the lower shelf 2 and the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle to share part of the weight of the upper shelf 2 and the items placed on the shelf 2.

[0054] like Figure 9 As shown, a connecting member 4 for a pull rod is provided between the storage panel 2 and the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle and / or between two adjacent storage panels 2, and the two connecting members 4 for a pull rod can be staggered.

[0055] like Figure 1-3As shown, in one embodiment of this case, after the hood body 1 is opened to a predetermined angle relative to the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle, the storage panel 2 in the fully unfolded state is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0056] It should be noted that by making the fully unfolded shelf 2 parallel to the horizontal plane, it is convenient to place objects on the shelf 2. Of course, the shelf 2 is not absolutely parallel to the horizontal plane in a mathematical sense. The parallelism between the shelf 2 and the horizontal plane can be kept within a certain error, such as the angle between the shelf 2 and the horizontal plane being any angle between 0° and 10°.

[0057] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figures 10 and 11, in one embodiment of this case, the connecting member 4 is a rod. One end of the connecting member 4 is hinged to the machine cover body 1 or one end of the connecting member 4 is hinged to the shelf 2 near the upper end of the connecting member 4, and the other end of the connecting member 4 is hinged to the shelf 2 near the lower end of the connecting member 4.

[0058] Furthermore, at least one end of the connector 4 is slidably hinged to the corresponding machine cover body 1 or the storage plate 2, so that the connector 4 and the storage plate 2 below the connector 4 can be in a retracted state.

[0059] It should be noted that the machine cover body 1 and / or the shelf 2 are provided with sliding grooves 21; the end of the rod is slidably hinged or ball-jointed with the shelf 2 on the corresponding sliding groove 21; such as Figure 10-11 As shown, the slide 21 can be arranged horizontally or vertically on the shelf 2, and the direction of the slide 21 on the shelf 2 is not limited, as long as the rod can enable the shelf 2 to be folded up and unfolded.

[0060] The connector 4 can be slidably hinged at one end to the corresponding machine cover body 1 or the shelf 2, or it can be slidably hinged at one end to the corresponding machine cover body 1 and at the other end to the corresponding shelf 2, or both ends of the connector 4 can be slidably hinged or ball-jointed to the corresponding shelf 2, so as to facilitate the opening or closing of the shelf 2.

[0061] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in one embodiment of this case, all the hinge points where the storage plate 2 is hinged to the machine cover body 1 and the connection points where the connector 4 is connected to the machine cover body 1 are located on the same plane.

[0062] It should be noted that this design allows the storage panel 2 to better approach or fit against the hood body 1 when retracted, so that the hood body 1 can better cover the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle, avoiding the problem of the hood body 1 not being able to close properly; at the same time, it can also avoid structural interference between adjacent storage panels 2 or the problem of mutual restriction between the opening angle or retraction angle of adjacent storage panels 2.

[0063] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment of this case, when all the shelves 2 are in the unfolded state, there are two connecting members on the upper and lower sides of each shelf that are adjacent and located on the same straight line.

[0064] It should be noted that by having two connecting pieces 4 on the upper and lower sides of each of the aforementioned shelf panels 2, which are adjacent and on the same straight line, especially on the same vertical line, the weight of the machine cover body 1 and / or shelf panel 2 above the shelf panel 2 and / or the weight of the shelf panel 2 below the shelf panel 2 is borne more by the connecting pieces 4. This reduces the excessive supporting or tensile force on the current shelf panel 2 and avoids the problem of deformation and damage to the surface of the current shelf panel 2 caused by the misalignment of the two connecting pieces 4 located above and below the current shelf panel 2, which would otherwise be transferred to the shelf panel 2 below after passing through the surface of the current shelf panel 2.

[0065] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment of this case, when each of the shelves 2 is in a fully extended state, the multiple connectors 4 located on the same straight line are hinged to each other.

[0066] It should be noted that by hinged to each other multiple connectors 4 located on the same straight line, on the one hand, the force of the upper connector 4 can be directly transmitted to the lower connector 4 without passing through the middle shelf 2, which is beneficial to the protection of the shelf 2; on the other hand, it can realize the mutual linkage between multiple connectors 4. When one connector 4 moves to make the corresponding shelf 2 fold up or unfold, at least some of the other shelf 2 will also be folded up or unfolded, thus facilitating the rapid unfolding or folding of all shelf 2.

[0067] As one embodiment of this case, the machine cover body 1 and the connector 4 and / or the storage plate 2 and the connector 4 are detachably connected.

[0068] It should be noted that if a detachable connection is achieved by connecting with screws or bolts, the shelf 2 can be removed from the machine cover body 1 to facilitate cleaning or maintenance and replacement of the shelf 2.

[0069] like Figure 12 As shown in one embodiment of this case, the connector 4 is a flexible mesh structure, such as a mesh structure woven from rope. The hood body 1 and the storage plate 2 and / or adjacent storage plates 2 are connected by a flexible mesh structure, thereby avoiding or reducing the problem of objects on the storage plate 2 falling off the storage plate 2 and hitting the front engine compartment 100 of the vehicle, causing damage to both the front engine compartment 100 and the objects.

[0070] As one embodiment of this case, the vehicle engine hood also includes a drive unit connected to the lowermost shelf 2. The drive unit is configured to drive the other shelves 2 to retract or expand simultaneously by driving the lowermost shelf 2 to retract or expand.

[0071] It should be noted that the vehicle engine hood also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the drive component. The controller is used to control the drive component to retract or expand the storage panel 2 located at the lowest end. The controller can be a switch button or an on-board computer. The drive component can be a motor, a telescopic cylinder, a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, or an electric telescopic rod. When the drive component is a motor, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft on the storage panel 2, and the rotating shaft on the storage panel 2 is the hinge shaft connecting the storage panel 2 and the engine hood body 1. When the drive component is an electric telescopic rod, a telescopic cylinder, or a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, the drive component... The telescopic rod is connected to the shelf 2 at a position away from the pivot. The extension and retraction of the drive component pushes the bottom shelf 2 to fold up or unfold. When the connecting member 4 is a rope, the folding up or unfolding of the bottom shelf 2 can drive the folding up or unfolding of the other shelves 2. When the connecting member 4 is a rod, any rod is not perpendicular to one of the adjacent shelves 2, which facilitates the sliding and folding of the rod on the corresponding non-perpendicularly connected shelf 2, avoiding the problem of the shelf 2 being stuck and difficult to fold up due to the rod being arranged perpendicularly to both sides of the shelf 2.

[0072] Furthermore, the controller is also electrically connected to a physical button switch and / or a voice recognition module.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the storage plate 2 is a decorative plate on the machine cover body 1.

[0074] It should be noted that designing the trim panel on the engine hood body 1 as a storage panel 2 not only improves the aesthetics of the engine hood body 1, but also further expands the function of the trim panel, enabling it to have storage function after being unfolded, thus improving the practicality of the vehicle engine hood.

[0075] The present invention provides a vehicle, including the aforementioned vehicle engine hood.

[0076] It should be noted that by applying this engine cover to a vehicle, the vehicle can have the storage function of the engine cover, and this vehicle is not limited to fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles, or engineering vehicles.

[0077] In summary, the present invention effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art, thus having high utilization value and significance.

[0078] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
