[0038] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 8 The detailed structures of the support part 1, the connecting rod part 2 and the fixing part 3 of the vehicle hood electrophoresis stay tooling are specifically described.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, in the embodiment, the support rod tooling for vehicle hood electrophoresis is formed as a rod-shaped structure as a whole, wherein the supporting portion 1 and the fixing portion 3 are arranged at both ends of the connecting rod portion 2, and the supporting portion 1 is detachably arranged in the sheet metal hole of the vehicle hood to support the vehicle hood; the connecting rod portion 2 plays the role of overall support and limiting the opening and closing angle of the hood, and the fixing portion 3 is used to fix the supporting portion 1 and the connecting rod portion 2.

[0040] The fixing part 3 includes a moving component 301 and a clamping component 302. The fixing part 3 is arranged on the connecting rod part 2 in an adjustable position through the moving component 301, and the fixing part 3 is detachably arranged on the vehicle body through the clamping component 302. Since the vehicle hood electrophoresis support rod tooling is only connected to the vehicle hood through the supporting part 1, the overlapping support method of the supporting part 1 will not damage the position of the fixing point, sheet metal or electrophoretic paint. In addition, since the fixing part 3 and the vehicle body are clamped by the clamping component 302, the installation method is simplified, the installation is convenient, and the overall coating efficiency is improved.

[0041] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in the embodiment, the support part 1 includes an extension end 101 and an abutment end 102, the abutment end 102 extends along the first direction S1 to abut the first surface of the vehicle hood, and the extension end 101 passes through the sheet metal hole of the vehicle hood to abut the second surface of the vehicle hood. In this way, the support part 1 is not connected to the vehicle hood by clamping or screwing, but simply overlapped and abutted. In this way, this support method will not damage the fixed point position with the vehicle hood, while taking into account stability, it protects the sheet metal and electrophoretic paint.

The end surface of the abutting end 102 formed as an inclined surface can provide sufficient avoidance space when the extension end 101 penetrates the sheet metal hole of the vehicle hood, thereby preventing the sheet metal of the vehicle hood from colliding with the support part 1, and protecting the sheet metal of the vehicle hood.

[0044] Preferably, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment, the outer side wall of the connecting rod part 2 is provided with an external thread; the moving assembly 301 includes a first nut member 303 and a second nut member 304, and the clamping assembly 302 is arranged between the first nut member 303 and the second nut member 304. Since the clamping assembly 302 is arranged between the first nut member 303 and the second nut member 304, the position of the moving assembly 301 on the connecting rod part 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the positions of the first nut member 303 and the second nut member 304. In this way, the vehicle hood electrophoresis support rod tooling can ensure that the vehicle hood is always at a suitable angle according to different vehicle models or adjustments during the painting process. One workpiece is suitable for various working conditions and various models of vehicles, and has strong versatility.

[0045] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment, the clamping assembly 302 is arranged on the connecting rod part 2 in an adjustable position. The clamping assembly 302 can rotate on the connecting rod part 2 and can adjust the upper and lower positions. The rotation can correspond to different models of vehicles (the body mounting holes of different models of vehicles may be in different positions) to ensure that the vehicle hood electrophoresis support rod tooling can always have an installation point, and the upper and lower positions can be adjusted to meet the needs of different opening and closing angles, thereby improving the overall versatility.

[0046] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment, the snap-on assembly 302 may include a base 305 and a telescopic snap-on component 306. The connecting rod portion 2 passes through the base 305. The telescopic snap-on component 306 is partially disposed on the base 305. The base 305 is used to fix the telescopic snap-on component 306.

The clamping end 311 can switch between an extended state and a retracted state through the bending of the transition section 310, thereby realizing the clamping and unlocking of the mounting hole of the vehicle body.

[0048] Preferably, the bending piece 307 may be made of spring steel.

[0049] The user can hold the bending piece 307 and apply external force to the bending piece 307 to make the bending piece 307 bend toward the base 305, thereby driving the end of the bending piece 307 located at the base 305 to move toward the inside of the base 305, so that the end of the bending piece 307 located at the base 305 is located as a whole inside the base 305, and then the base 305 can be extended into the mounting hole of the vehicle body, and then the applied external force is cancelled to reset the bending piece 307, and the end of the bending piece 307 located at the base 305 partially extends out of the base 305, thereby achieving snap-on connection.

[0050] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, in the second embodiment, the telescopic clamping member 306 may include a first movable member 312, a second movable member 313, a spring fixing sleeve 314 and a spring member 315.

Since the fixing point with the vehicle hood does not need to be locked and a chamfered surface is designed to increase the contact area, etc., the fixing point position will not damage the sheet metal or electrophoretic paint. Since the fixing part adopts a snap-on and position-adjustable installation form, the overall installation is simple and easy to operate.
