[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 A support structure 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the support structure 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes: a support assembly 10 and a locking member 20 .

[0031] The support assembly 10 is suitable for supporting the hood 30 of the vehicle. As some optional embodiments of the present application, the support assembly 10 can be used to support the front hood 30 of the vehicle. As some optional embodiments of the present application, the support assembly 10 can be used to support the trunk lid of the vehicle. This article takes the support assembly 10 used to support the front hood 30 of the vehicle as an example for description.

[0032] The support assembly 10 includes a first support member 11 and a second support member 12, wherein one end of the first support member 11 is adapted to be rotatably connected to the vehicle body 200. As some optional embodiments of the present application, one end of the first support member 11 and the vehicle body 200 may be hingedly connected. As some optional embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, one end of the first support member 11 can be rotatably connected to the lower body sheet metal 40 of the vehicle.

[0033] The second support member 12 is rotatably connected to the first support member 11. As some optional embodiments of the present application, the second support member 12 and the first support member 11 can be hinged, or the second support member 12 and the first support member 11 can also be connected through a universal ball head. As some optional embodiments of the present application, one end of the first support member 11 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 200, and the other end of the first support member 11 is rotatably connected to one end of the second support member 12.

[0034] The locking member 20 is disposed on the supporting assembly 10 , and the locking member 20 can lock the first supporting member 11 and the second supporting member 12 so that the first supporting member 11 and the second supporting member 12 are relatively fixed.

[0035] As some optional embodiments of the present application, the locking member 20 can be slidably mounted on the support assembly 10. When the second support member 12 is rotated to be parallel to the first support member 11 or approximately parallel to the first support member 11 (approximately parallel can be understood as the angle between the second support member 12 and the first support member 11 is greater than 170 degrees), the locking member 20 can be slid to the connection between the second support member 12 and the first support member 11 to lock the first support member 11 and the second support member 12. When there is no need to support the front hood 30, the locking member 20 can be slid elsewhere to unlock the first support member 11 and the second support member 12.

[0036] It should be explained that when the front hood 30 does not need to be supported, the locking member 20 does not lock the first support member 11 and the second support member 12, and the second support member 12 can be clamped and fixed to the vehicle body 200 to fix the support structure 100. When the front hood 30 needs to be supported, the second support member 12 is picked up. Since one end of the first support member 11 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 200, the entire support structure 100 can rotate relative to the vehicle body 200. After the support structure 100 is rotated to a suitable position, the second support member 12 is rotated to rotate the second support member 12 relative to the first support member 11. When the second support member 12 is rotated to be parallel to the first support member 11 or approximately parallel to the first support member 11 (approximately parallel can be considered reasonable), When the angle between the second support member 12 and the first support member 11 is greater than 170 degrees), the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 can be locked by the locking member 20 to fix the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 relatively, and then, one end of the second support member 12 can be abutted against the front hood 30 of the vehicle to support the front hood 30 of the vehicle, and then, when there is no need to support the front hood 30, move the locking member 20 to unlock the first support member 11 and the second support member 12, and then the second support member 12 can be rotated to a suitable position, and then the entire support structure 100 is rotated relative to the vehicle body 200, and then the second support member 12 is clamped and fixed to the vehicle body 200 to fix the support structure 100.

[0037] As some optional embodiments of the present application, when the support structure 100 is not used, the first support member 11 can also be clamped and fixed to the vehicle body 200, which can improve the installation firmness of the support structure 100 and reduce the probability and amplitude of shaking of the support structure 100 during vehicle driving.

[0038] When the support structure 100 needs to be adapted to different vehicle models, the second support member 12 of the support structure 100 can be replaced. For example, when the vehicle model requires a short support structure 100, the support structure 100 can be adapted to the vehicle model by replacing the second support member 12 with a short length. When the vehicle model requires a long support structure 100, the support structure 100 can be adapted to the vehicle model by replacing the second support member 12 with a long length.

[0039] Therefore, by rotatably connecting the second support member 12 to the first support member 11, the support structure 100 can be adapted to different vehicle models by adaptively replacing the second support member 12, thereby improving the versatility of the support structure 100 and helping to reduce the production cost of the vehicle.

[0040] Moreover, compared with the existing mechanical crossbars, the support structure 100 proposed in the present application is less restricted by the shape and cabin parts and is easy to arrange.

[0041] In addition, it can be understood that when the second support member 12 is rotated to be approximately parallel to the first support member 11, the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 can also be locked by the locking member 20 to make the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 relatively fixed. Therefore, the support structure 100 proposed in the present application itself can be suitable for a variety of vehicle models (various vehicle models with little change in length requirements for the support structure 100; if the length requirements change greatly, they can be met by replacing the second support member 12).

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first support member 11 may have a first connection portion 111 at one end close to the second support member 12, that is, one end of the first support member 11 may be rotatably connected to the vehicle body 200, and the other end of the first support member 11 may have a first connection portion 111. The second support member 12 may have a second connection portion 121. As some optional embodiments of the present application, the second connection portion 121 may be located at the end of the second support member 12, or the second connection portion 121 may also be located between the two ends of the second support member 12. The first connection portion 111 and the second connection portion 121 may be rotatably connected. As some optional embodiments of the present application, the first connection portion 111 and the second connection portion 121 may be hingedly connected, or the first connection portion 111 and the second connection portion 121 may be connected by a universal ball head. Such an arrangement can reliably connect the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 in a rotatable manner. When the support structure 100 needs to be used, the position of the second support member 12 relative to the first support member 11 can be conveniently adjusted, thereby facilitating the use convenience of the support structure 100.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second connection portion 121 may be located at the end of the second support member 12. Specifically, one end of the second support member 12 may have the second connection portion 121, and the other end of the second support member 12 may abut against the front hood 30 to support the front hood 30. By arranging the second connection portion 121 at the end of the second support member 12, the arrangement position of the second connection portion 121 can be reasonable, and a second support member 12 with a shorter length can be used to meet the use requirements (compared with the embodiment in which the second connection portion 121 is located at both ends of the second support member 12), which is conducive to saving materials.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connection portion 111 may have one of a pivot shaft 1111 and a pivot hole, and the second connection portion 121 may have the other of the pivot shaft 1111 and the pivot hole, and the pivot shaft 1111 may be pivotally matched with the pivot hole.

[0045] As some optional embodiments of the present application, the first connection portion 111 may have a pivot shaft 1111, the second connection portion 121 may have a pivot hole, and the pivot shaft 1111 may be pivotally matched with the pivot hole to realize the rotational connection between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12. As some optional embodiments of the present application, the first connection portion 111 may have a pivot hole, the second connection portion 121 may have a pivot shaft 1111, and the pivot shaft 1111 may be pivotally matched with the pivot hole to realize the rotational connection between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12. Such a setting can reliably connect the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 in rotation, and compared with the method of realizing the rotational connection through a universal ball head, the cost is low, the production cost of the support assembly 10 can be reduced, and the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 can also be reduced.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support structure 100 may also include: a pivot shaft 1111, the first connection part 111 and the second connection part 121 may both have a pivot hole, and the pivot shaft 1111 may be inserted into the pivot hole of the first connection part 111 and the pivot hole of the second connection part 121. Specifically, during installation, the pivot hole of the first connection part 111 and the pivot hole of the second connection part 121 are aligned, and then the pivot shaft 1111 is inserted into the pivot hole of the first connection part 111 and the pivot hole of the second connection part 121. Such an arrangement can reliably connect the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 in rotation, and compared with the method of realizing rotation connection through a universal ball head, the cost is low, the production cost of the support assembly 10 can be reduced, and the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 can also be reduced.

[0047] As some optional embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting part 121 may include two second connecting plate bodies 1212, the two second connecting plate bodies 1212 may be arranged at intervals, and the two second connecting plate bodies 1212 both have a pivot hole, and the first connecting part 111 may include a first connecting plate body 1112, the first connecting plate body 1112 may be arranged between the two second connecting plate bodies 1212, and the first connecting plate body 1112 may have a pivot hole, and the pivot holes of the two second connecting plate bodies 1212 and the pivot hole of the first connecting plate body 1112 are coaxial, and then, the pivot shaft 1111 (for example, a pin shaft) can be passed through the pivot holes of the two second connecting plate bodies 1212 and the pivot hole of the first connecting plate body 1112.

[0048] As some optional embodiments of the present application, the first connecting part 111 may include two first connecting plate bodies 1112, the two first connecting plate bodies 1112 may be arranged at intervals, and the two first connecting plate bodies 1112 both have a pivot hole, the second connecting part 121 may include a second connecting plate body 1212, the second connecting plate body 1212 may be arranged between the two first connecting plate bodies 1112, the second connecting plate body 1212 may have a pivot hole, the pivot holes of the two first connecting plate bodies 1112 and the pivot holes of the second connecting plate body 1212 are coaxial, and then, the pivot shaft 1111 (for example, a pin shaft) can be passed through the pivot holes of the two first connecting plate bodies 1112 and the pivot holes of the second connecting plate body 1212.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the locking member 20 can be slidably mounted on the support assembly 10. It should be explained that when the front hood 30 does not need to be supported, the locking member 20 can slide to any position of the second support member 12. When the front hood 30 needs to be supported, the second support member 12 needs to be rotated to a position parallel to the first support member 11 or approximately parallel to the first support member 11, and then the locking member 20 can be slid to make the locking member 20 slide to the connection between the second support member 12 and the first support member 11 to lock the first support member 11 and the second support member 12. When the front hood 30 does not need to be supported, the locking member 20 can be slid to any position of the second support member 12 to unlock the first support member 11 and the second support member 12. Such a setting can conveniently lock or unlock the support assembly 10, reduce the difficulty of using the support structure 100, and improve the convenience of using the support assembly 10.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the first support member 11 may have a limiting portion 112 at one end close to the second support member 12, and the limiting portion 112 may be used to limit the movement of the locking member 20. Specifically, the limiting portion 112 is located on the side of the first connection portion 111 away from the second connection portion 121. When the front cover 30 needs to be supported, the second support member 12 needs to be rotated to a position parallel to the first support member 11 or approximately parallel to the first support member 11, and then the locking member 20 can be slid to make the locking member 20 slide to the connection between the second support member 12 and the first support member 11, so as to lock the first support member 11 and the second support member 12. Due to the existence of the limiting portion 112, the limiting portion 112 can stop the locking member 20 to prevent the locking member 20 from continuing to slide under the action of gravity. By setting the limiting portion 112, the user does not need to manually fix the position of the locking member 20, which is conducive to improving the convenience of the user in using the support structure 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 5As shown, the limiting portion 112 may be a plurality of limiting protrusions 1121, and the plurality of limiting protrusions 1121 may be arranged along the circumferential direction of the first support member 11. For example, the limiting portion 112 may be four limiting protrusions 1121, and the limiting protrusions 1121 may be, but not limited to, a sphere, a cylinder, or a polyhedron, and the four limiting protrusions 1121 may be arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the first support member 11, and such an arrangement may improve the limiting reliability of the limiting portion 112.

[0052] As some optional embodiments of the present application, the limiting portion 112 may be configured as a circular ring shape, and such a configuration may also make the limiting function of the limiting portion 112 reliable.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the second support member 12 is suitable for being snapped onto the vehicle body 200. Specifically, when the support structure 100 is not in use, the second support member 12 can be snapped onto the vehicle body 200. This can improve the installation firmness of the support structure 100 and reduce the probability and amplitude of shaking of the support structure 100 during vehicle driving.

[0054] As some optional embodiments of the present application, when the support structure 100 is not used, the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 can be clamped to the vehicle body 200, for example, the first support member 11 can be clamped to the lower body sheet metal 40 of the vehicle, and the second support member 12 can be clamped to the front end frame 50 of the vehicle, for example, the second support member 12 can be clamped to the front cross beam of the front end frame 50, which can further improve the installation firmness of the support structure 100, thereby further reducing the probability and amplitude of the support structure 100 shaking during vehicle driving.

[0055] As some optional embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the second support member 12 supporting the front hood 30 may have a supporting portion 122, and the supporting portion 122 may be constructed as a support rod rubber plug. The front hood 30 may have a matching portion, and the matching portion may be constructed as a matching hole. The supporting portion 122 may cooperate with the matching portion to support the front hood 30.

[0056] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the utility model, including the support structure 100 of the above-mentioned embodiment, the second support member 12 is rotatably connected to the first support member 11, and the second support member 12 can be adaptively replaced to make the support structure 100 adapt to different vehicle models, thereby improving the versatility of the support structure 100 and facilitating reducing the production cost of the vehicle.
