[0032] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0033] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 The present invention describes an engine hood hinge structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention also provides a vehicle.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, the engine hood hinge structure of the embodiment of the utility model includes: a first fender 10 , a second fender 20 and a limiting assembly 30 .

[0035] One end of the support rod 50 is fixed on the first fender 10, the second fender 20 and the first fender 10 are rotatably matched, the second fender 20 is provided with a hood 40, and the other end of the support rod 50 is fixed on the hood 40. The support rod 50 may be a gas support rod 50, one end of which is fixed on the first fender 10, and the other end is fixed on the hood 40, mainly used to support the hood 40 to prevent the hood 40 from accidentally closing or falling when it is opened, and the support rod 50 can be retracted to adjust the opening angle of the hood 40.

[0036] The limiting assembly 30 is adjustable on the first leaf plate 10, and the limiting assembly 30 faces a side of the second leaf plate 20 and selectively abuts against the second leaf plate 20. Due to the rotational fit between the second leaf plate 20 and the first leaf plate 10, the limiting assembly 30 selectively abuts against the second leaf plate 20, so that the rotation angle between the second leaf plate 20 and the first leaf plate 10 can be controlled.

[0037] Among them, the first fender 10 is fixed on the vehicle body structure, the second fender 20 is fixedly connected to the engine hood 40, and the angle between the first fender 10 and the second fender 20 is adjustable, so the opening angle of the engine hood 40 relative to the vehicle body is adjustable, so that the opening angle of the engine hood 40 can be adjusted to an angle that can meet the comfortable operation of users of special heights.

[0038] Therefore, by setting a limit assembly 30 and selectively abutting the limit assembly 30 against the second fender 20, the rotation angle between the second fender 20 and the first fender 10 can be controlled, and the opening angle of the engine hood 40 can be adjusted to an angle that can meet the comfortable operation of users of special heights.

[0039] Reference Figure 1-7As shown, the limiting assembly 30 includes: a limiting member 31, a first locking portion 311 and a first limiting portion 312 are arranged on the limiting member 31, the first locking portion 311 is arranged on the peripheral side of the limiting member 31, the first limiting portion 312 is arranged at the end of the limiting member 31 facing the second fender 20, a plurality of second locking portions 11 are arranged on the first fender 10, and the first locking portion 311 is locked and matched with any second locking portion 11. Specifically, the limiting member 31 can be cylindrical, and the end of the cylindrical limiting member 31 facing the second fender 20 is provided with the first locking portion 311 and the first limiting portion 312, and the first limiting portion 312 is used to selectively abut against the second fender 20 to adjust the rotation angle between the first fender 10 and the second fender 20. The first locking portion 311 is used to lock with any one of the multiple second locking portions 11 on the first fender 10. The position of the first locking portion 311 and the second locking portion 11 can determine the position of the first limiting portion 312 and the second fender 20, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the first fender 10 and the second fender 20. The opening angle of the engine hood 40 is adjusted to an angle that can meet the comfortable operation of users of special heights.

[0040] Furthermore, the limiting member 31 may also be square, and the limiting member 31 may be a metal member or a plastic member.

[0041] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, the first locking portion 311 is provided with a first locking tooth, and the second locking portion 11 is provided with a second locking tooth, and the second locking tooth is longer than the first locking tooth. The first locking tooth and the second locking tooth are locked with each other to fix the relative position of the limiting member 31 and the first leaf plate 10, and the limiting member 31 limits the position of the second leaf plate 20 through the first limiting portion 312, so that the relative position of the first leaf plate 10 and the second leaf plate 20 can be fixed. When operating, the user can pull the limiting member 31 to separate the first locking portion 311 and the second locking portion 11, so that the first leaf plate 10 and the second leaf plate 20 are unlocked.

[0042] The first locking tooth and the second locking tooth may be sawtooth-shaped, wedge-shaped, trapezoidal, or the like.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-7As shown, the second locking portion 11 may be arc-shaped, and the first leaf plate 10 is provided with a first arc-shaped groove 12, the first arc-shaped groove 12 is connected to the second locking portion 11, and a portion of the second leaf plate 20 slides in the first arc-shaped groove 12 and selectively abuts against the first limiting portion 312. In other words, the first arc-shaped groove 12 is the range in which the angle of the first leaf plate 10 and the second leaf plate 20 can be adjusted, and similarly, the length of the arc-shaped second locking portion 11 is the range in which the relative position of the limiting member 31 and the first leaf plate 10 can be adjusted, and the first arc-shaped groove 12 and the second locking portion 11 are connected to jointly realize the adjustment of the angle between the first leaf plate 10 and the second leaf plate 20.

[0044] That is, the user pulls the limit member 31 to separate the first locking portion 311 and the second locking portion 11, unlocks the first fender 10 and the second fender 20, drags the limit member 31 to slide back and forth, selects a suitable second locking portion 11, and then places the limit member 31 into the locking tooth at the corresponding position to adjust the limit angle of the hinge.

[0045] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, a second limiting portion 21 is provided on the side of the second fender 20 facing the first arc groove 12, the second limiting portion 21 slides in the first arc groove 12, and the second limiting portion 21 and the first limiting portion 312 are selectively locked and matched. Specifically, the second fender 20 extends the second limiting portion 21 toward the direction of the first fender 10, and the second limiting portion 21 slides in the first arc groove 12 until it stops at the position where it abuts against the first limiting portion 312. Through the selective locking and matching of the second limiting portion 21 and the first limiting portion 312, the rotation angle between the first fender 10 and the second fender 20 can be controlled.

[0046] The second limiting portion 21 may be a limiting claw provided by the second fender 20 toward the first fender 10 , and the limiting claw slides in the first arc groove 12 .

[0047] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, the limiting assembly 30 includes: a cover plate 32, the cover plate 32 is fixedly connected to the first leaf plate 10, a second arc groove 321 is provided on the cover plate 32, and the limiting member 31 slides in the second arc groove 321 away from the second leaf plate 20. Further, the cover plate 32 is bonded to both sides of the second locking portion 11 of the first leaf plate 10, and a second arc groove 321 is provided on the cover plate 32, and the arc and arc length of the second arc groove 321 correspond to the arc and arc length of the second locking portion 11, so as to prevent the first locking portion 311 of the limiting member 31 from being unable to lock and cooperate with the second locking portion 11 when the user operates the limiting member 31 to slide in the second arc groove 321.

[0048] A first flange is provided above the cover plate 32, and a second arc groove 321 is formed in the flange. By providing the flange on the cover plate 32, the structural strength of the cover plate 32 can be enhanced on the one hand, and the risk of sharp edges cutting the user can be avoided on the other hand.

[0049] The cover plate 32 may be a plastic part.

[0050] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, at least two first fixing parts 13 are provided on the first leaf plate 10, and the at least two first fixing parts 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the second locking part 11, and at least two second fixing parts 322 are provided on the cover plate 32, and the at least two first fixing parts 13 and the at least two second fixing parts 322 are respectively fixedly connected. Specifically, a second flange is provided below the cover plate 32, and the second flange is folded toward the outside of the cover plate 32, and at least two fixing parts 13 are provided on the second flange, and the first fixing part 13 can be a cylinder, and the second fixing part 322 can be a circular hole, and when the first fixing part 13 and the second fixing part 322 cooperate, the cylinder extends into the circular hole, thereby limiting the relative position of the cover plate 32 and the first leaf plate 10.

[0051] In addition, the first fixing portion 13 may be a square column, and the second fixing portion 322 may be a square hole. When the first fixing portion 13 and the second fixing portion 322 cooperate, the square column extends into the square hole, thereby limiting the relative position of the cover plate 32 and the first leaf plate 10. Alternatively, the first fixing portion 13 may be a buckle, and the second fixing portion 322 may be a slot, and the positions of the cover plate 32 and the first leaf plate 10 are fixed by the cooperation of the slot and the buckle.

[0052] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, the limiter assembly 30 also includes an elastic member 33, which is abutted between the cover plate 32 and the limiter 31. The width of the elastic member 33 is greater than the width of the second arc groove 321 on the cover plate 32. When the user operates the limiter 31, the limiter 31 needs to be pulled out from the second locking member. The elastic member 33 abuts between the cover plate 32 and the limiter 31, which can prevent the limiter 31 from being accidentally pulled out, thereby improving the reliability of the hinge structure. In addition, when the user selects a suitable second locking portion 11 to lock with it, the elastic force of the elastic member 33 makes it easier to put the limiter 31 into the second locking portion 11.

[0053] The elastic member 33 may be a metal spring, a rubber spring or the like.

[0054] Reference Figure 1-7As shown, a limiting flange 313 is provided on one side of the limiting member 31 facing the cover plate 32, and the limiting flange 313 is provided toward the cover plate 32, and one end of the elastic member 33 cooperates with the limiting flange 313. The width of the limiting flange 313 is also greater than the width of the second arc-shaped groove 321, and the elastic member 33 cooperates with the limiting flange 313. When the user pulls the limiting member 31, the elastic member 33 is subjected to the force of the limiting flange 313 and moves with the limiting member 31, until the limiting flange 313 abuts against the cover plate 32, thereby preventing the limiting member 31 from moving and preventing the limiting member 31 from being pulled out of the cover plate 32.
