[0062] Further, when the engine cover is assembled, the support rod 42 can be rotated to a horizontal position or a substantially horizontal position parallel to the tool body 10, which can facilitate the storage of the assembly tool 100. The support rod 42 is rotated to a horizontal position or a substantially horizontal position parallel to the tool body 10 as the storage position of the assembly tool 100.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the locking assembly 44 may include a locking pin 441, and the support rod 42 may have a locking hole 421. The locking pin 441 is correspondingly arranged with the locking hole 421, and the locking pin 441 is adapted to the locking hole 421 so that the locking pin 441 is suitable for extending into or out of the locking hole 421. When the locking pin 441 is pulled out from the locking hole 421, the support rod 42 can be adjusted to allow the support rod 42 to rotate relative to the tooling body 10, thereby adjusting the support rod 42 to a working position or a storage position. After the position of the support rod 42 is adjusted, the locking pin 441 is extended into the locking hole 421, so that the locking pin 441 can lock the support rod 42, thereby enabling the support rod 42 to be located in the working position, thereby facilitating the assembly of the engine cover.

[0064] Furthermore, the tooling body 10 is also fixed with a plurality of storage blocks 11, and the first supporting mechanism 40 includes a stop block 12, which is fixed to the second mounting block 41. When the support rod 42 is rotated to a horizontal position or a substantially horizontal position parallel to the tooling body 10, that is, when the support rod 42 is in the storage position, the plurality of storage blocks 11 can support the corresponding support rod 42, and the stop block 12 can limit the corresponding support rod 42 to limit the rotation of the corresponding support rod 42, thereby avoiding irregular rotation of the support rod 42, so as to reduce the risk of the support rod 42 accidentally injuring or colliding with other equipment or workers, thereby further improving the safety and reliability of the assembly tool 100.

[0065] Furthermore, when the assembly tool 100 is stored after use, the plurality of storage blocks 11 can also be used to support the assembly tool 100 , thereby reducing the risk of the assembly tool 100 being scratched or damaged, thereby increasing the service life of the assembly tool 100 .

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly 44 may also include: a third mounting block 45, a position adjustment block 46 and an operating part 47. The third mounting block 45 is fixed to the tooling body 10, the position adjustment block 46 is arranged on the third mounting block 45, and the position adjustment block 46 is adjustable relative to the third mounting block 45 along at least one of the first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the assembly tooling 100. The locking pin 441 and the operating part 47 are both arranged on the position adjustment block 46. The operating part 47 is connected to the locking pin 441 to drive the locking pin 441 to extend into or out of the locking hole 421. The first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the assembly tooling 100 are perpendicular to each other.

[0067] Among them, the third mounting block 45 is fixedly arranged on the tooling body 10. For example, the third mounting block 45 and the tooling body 10 can be fixedly connected by bolts, or the third mounting block 45 and the tooling body 10 can be fixedly connected by welding, but the utility model is not limited to this. The third mounting block 45 and the tooling body 10 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the third mounting block 45 is fixedly arranged on the tooling body 10.

[0068] The position adjustment block 46 is arranged on the third mounting block 45, and the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tooling 100 are perpendicular to each other, and the position adjustment block 46 can be adjusted relative to the third mounting block 45 along at least one of the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tooling 100. For example, the position adjustment block 46 can be adjusted relative to the third mounting block 45 along the first direction of the assembly tooling 100, or the position adjustment block 46 can be adjusted relative to the third mounting block 45 along the first direction and the second direction of the assembly tooling 100, or the position adjustment block 46 can be adjusted relative to the third mounting block 45 along the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tooling 100, but the utility model is not limited to this, as long as the position adjustment block 46 can be adjusted relative to the third mounting block 45 along at least one of the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tooling 100. The present application takes the example that the position adjustment block 46 can be adjusted relative to the third mounting block 45 along the first direction and the second direction of the assembly tool 100, and a plurality of third gap adjustment pads 48 can be provided between the position adjustment block 46 and the third mounting block 45, so that the position adjustment block 46 can be adjusted relative to the third mounting block 45. In this way, the position of the locking pin 441 can be accurately adjusted by adjusting the position adjustment block 46, so that the locking pin 441 can be accurately matched with the locking hole 421, so that the locking assembly 44 can lock the corresponding support rod 42.

[0069] The locking pin 441 and the operating part 47 can both be arranged on the position adjustment block 46. The operating part 47 is connected to the locking pin 441 to drive the locking pin 441 to extend into or out of the locking hole 421. Specifically, the position of the locking pin 441 can be adjusted by adjusting the position adjustment block 46 so that the locking pin 441 is aligned with the locking hole 421. After the adjustment is completed, the locking pin 441 is driven by the operating part 47 to extend into the locking hole 421 so that the support rod 42 can stably support the engine cover. Therefore, by adjusting the position adjustment block 46, the position of the locking pin 441 can be adjusted more finely and accurately, so that the locking pin 441 and the locking hole 421 are precisely matched, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the assembly tool 100, and then reducing the probability of subsequent adjustments, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the assembly tool 100.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning portion 43 can be adjustable along at least one of the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tool 100, and the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tool 100 are perpendicular to each other. For example, the positioning portion 43 can be adjustable along the first direction of the assembly tool 100, or the positioning portion 43 can be adjustable along the first direction and the second direction of the assembly tool 100, or the positioning portion 43 can be adjustable along the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tool 100, but the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as the positioning portion 43 is adjustable along at least one of the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the assembly tool 100. The present application is explained by taking the example that the positioning portion 43 can be adjusted along the first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the assembly tool 100, and a plurality of adjustment blocks 431 can be provided between the positioning portion 43 and the fourth mounting block 432, and a plurality of fourth gap adjustment pads 433 can be provided between the positioning portion 43, the plurality of adjustment blocks 431 and the fourth mounting block 432. The plurality of fourth gap adjustment pads 433 are used to adjust the position of the positioning portion 43 along the first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the assembly tool 100. Such a configuration can improve the positioning accuracy of the assembly tool 100, and enable the assembly tool 100 to position engine covers of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the assembly tool 100.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the assembly tool 100 for the engine hood may further include: a second support mechanism 50, which is fixedly arranged on the tool body 10, for example, the second support mechanism 50 and the tool body 10 may be fixedly connected by bolts, or the second support mechanism 50 and the tool body 10 may be fixedly connected by welding, but the utility model is not limited thereto, and the second support mechanism 50 and the tool body 10 may also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the second support mechanism 50 is fixedly arranged on the tool body 10. The second support mechanism 50 is suitable for supporting the vehicle body, and can provide stable support for the assembly tool 100, so as to ensure that the assembly tool 100 remains stable and safe during the assembly of the engine hood, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the assembly tool 100.
