Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle components, and in particular relates to an engine hood assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The hood is the most eye-catching body component and one of the parts that car buyers often check. The hood needs to meet the performance requirements of heat insulation, sound insulation, light weight, strong rigidity, etc. The existing hood generally flips backward as a whole when opened. In order to meet this flipping requirement, a hood lock is set at the front of the hood to lock with the front bumper, and hinges are set on both sides of the rear of the hood.

[0003] Since the engine hood is heavy and large in size, this overall opening method has high requirements for the opening space and is difficult to open, making it difficult to adapt to personalized and convenient market demands. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiment of the utility model provides an engine hood assembly and a vehicle, aiming to solve the problem that the existing engine hood has a large demand for opening space and the operation of opening the engine hood is inconvenient.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the utility model provides an engine hood assembly, comprising:

[0007] Two hoods are arranged opposite to each other along the left and right directions of the vehicle body, the opposite sides of the two hoods are respectively provided with hinges, and the opposite sides of the two hoods are respectively provided with hood locks; when the hood locks are locked, the opposite sides of the two hoods are spliced ​​together.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the hood lock includes a first lock body fixed to the hood, and a second lock body fixed to the vehicle body; a line connecting a connection point between the first lock body and the second lock body and the center of gravity of the hood is used as a reference line, and the reference line is parallel to the left and right direction of the vehicle body.

[0009] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the hood includes a hood outer panel and a hood inner panel connected to the inner side of the hood outer panel, and a first spacing space is formed between the hood inner panel and the hood outer panel; in the inward and outward directions, the first spacing space corresponds to the hood lock.

[0010] In some embodiments, a second spacing space is formed between the hood inner panel and the hood outer panel, and in the inward and outward directions, the second spacing space corresponds to the hinge.

[0011] In some embodiments, in the inner and outer directions, the height of the first spacing space and the height of the second spacing space are not less than 55 mm.

[0012] In some embodiments, the peripheral edge of the hood inner panel is fitly connected to the hood outer panel, and a plurality of mutually spaced hollow areas are provided on the main body of the hood inner panel, and the edges of the hollow areas are bent outward to form hollow connecting flanges, and the hollow connecting flanges are fitly connected to the inner panel surface of the hood outer panel; the first spacing space is located between the hollow area and the peripheral edge of the hood inner panel.

[0013] In some embodiments, the hollow connecting flange has a glue groove, and the hollow connecting flange is glued to the hood inner panel.

[0014] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral edge of the hood outer panel and the outer peripheral edge of the hood inner panel are bonded together by an adhesive layer.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the engine hood assembly also includes a middle beam fixed to the vehicle body, the middle beam is arranged between the two hoods, and overlapping steps are formed on the left and right sides of the middle beam respectively; when the hood is locked, the side edges of the hood overlap with the overlapping steps on the corresponding sides.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the scheme shown in the embodiment of the present application is that when the hood lock is locked, the opposite sides of the two hoods are assembled to form a complete hood structure to cover the front cabin; after the hood lock is unlocked, the opposite sides of the two hoods are flipped upward to open the front cabin. The engine hood assembly of the present application decomposes the hood structure to form two hoods. Compared with the traditional integral flip opening and closing design, the two hoods are opened and closed separately, so that the space occupied by the opening of a single hood is greatly reduced, and the demand for opening space is low; at the same time, the split hood also reduces the weight of a single hood. The left and right widths of the hood, that is, the length of the lever arm when flipping, are shortened compared to the integral engine hood. The length of the lever arm when the hood flips, the opening is more labor-saving, and the convenience of the opening operation is improved; in addition, the hood structure as a whole forms a butterfly-type opening and closing structure, which breaks through the traditional integral flip design, has a stronger sense of design, and can meet the user's personalized use experience.

[0034] In the claims, specification and the above drawings of the utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, if the term "fixed connection" or "fixed connection" is used, it should be understood in a broad sense, that is, any connection method without a displacement relationship and relative rotation relationship between the two, that is to say, including non-detachable fixed connection, detachable fixed connection, integrated connection and fixed connection through other devices or elements.

[0035] In the claims, specification and drawings of the present utility model, if the terms "include", "have" and their variations are used, they are intended to mean "including but not limited to".

[0036] In the claims, specification and the above-mentioned drawings of the utility model, if the term "fit connection" is used, its implementation methods include but are not limited to bonding after fitting, welding after fitting, connecting through threaded fasteners after fitting, etc., which are selectively set according to actual assembly requirements.

[0037] Please also read Figures 1 to 7 The engine hood assembly provided by the utility model is now described. The engine hood assembly comprises two hoods 1 arranged opposite to each other along the left and right directions of the vehicle body, hinges 2 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two hoods 1, and hood locks 3 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two hoods 1; when the hood locks 3 are locked, the opposite sides of the two hoods 1 are assembled with each other.

[0038] In this embodiment, the two hoods 1 are exemplarily shown as being arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner in the left-right direction. Of course, an asymmetrical solution of the two left and right hoods 1 can also be adopted, which can be selectively arranged according to the internal layout of the front cabin and normal appearance requirements.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the engine hood assembly provided in this embodiment has the following advantages: when the hood lock 3 is locked, the opposite sides of the two hoods 1 are assembled together to form a complete hood structure to cover the front cabin, such as Figure 1 The state shown; after the hood lock 3 is unlocked, the opposite sides of the two hoods 1 flip upward to open the front engine compartment. The hood assembly of the present application decomposes the hood structure to form two hoods 1. Compared with the traditional integral flip opening and closing design, the two hoods 1 open and close separately, so that the space occupied by a single hood 1 when opened is greatly reduced, and the demand for opening space is relatively low; at the same time, the split hood 1 also reduces the weight of a single hood 1. The left and right widths of the hood 1, that is, the length of the lever arm when flipping, compared with the integral hood 1, the present application shortens the length of the lever arm when the hood 1 flips, making it more labor-saving to open, and the convenience of opening operation is improved, which is especially suitable for the use requirements of large vehicles such as SUVs; in addition, the overall hood structure forms a butterfly-like opening and closing structure, which breaks through the traditional integral flip design, has a stronger sense of design, and can meet the user's personalized use experience.

[0040] In some embodiments, the hood lock 3 may be configured as follows: Figure 5 In the structure shown in FIG. 1 , the hood lock 3 includes a first lock body 310 fixed to the hood 1 and a second lock body 320 fixed to the vehicle body; a line connecting a joining point F between the first lock body 310 and the second lock body 320 and a center of gravity G of the hood 1 is taken as a reference line L, and the reference line L is parallel to the left and right direction of the vehicle body, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown. Specifically, considering the stability of the force, the first lock body 310 is a lock tongue, and the second lock body 320 is provided with a lock hook for hanging and locking with the lock tongue. The hanging and locking position of the lock tongue and the lock hook is the junction point of the first lock body 310 and the second lock body 320; it should be understood that the second lock body 320 can also be a lock tongue, and the first lock body 310 is provided with a lock hook for hanging and locking with the lock tongue. The specific setting method is not limited here. This embodiment can ensure that the hood 1 is evenly stressed when it is opened and closed, avoid deformation of the hinge 2, and thus avoid the problem of uneven gaps at the matching points between the hood 1 and the surrounding components (such as the front fender 6 and the front bumper), which not only improves the aesthetics, but also ensures the durability and stability of the hood 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the hood 1 may be configured as follows: Figures 1 to 9 In the structure shown, the hood 1 includes a hood outer panel 110 and a hood inner panel 120 connected to the inner side of the hood outer panel 110, and a first spacing space 101 is formed between the hood inner panel 120 and the hood outer panel 110; in the inner and outer directions, the first spacing space 101 corresponds to the hood lock 3. The first spacing space 101 forms a collapse space in the area where the hood lock 3 is located, avoiding the problem that the area where the hood lock 3 is located is difficult to collapse and deform in the event of a collision with a pedestrian, thereby improving the pedestrian safety protection performance.

[0042] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 8 A second spacing space 102 is further formed between the hood inner panel 120 and the hood outer panel 110. In the inner and outer directions, the second spacing space 102 corresponds to the hinge 2. The second spacing space 102 forms a collapse space in the area where the hinge 2 is located, thereby avoiding the problem that the area where the hinge 2 is located is difficult to collapse and deform in the event of a collision with a pedestrian, thereby further improving the pedestrian safety protection performance.

[0043] In some specific settings of the first partition space 101 and the second partition space 102, in order to ensure reliable pedestrian safety protection performance, in the inside-outside direction, the height of the first partition space 101 and the height of the second partition space 102 are not less than 55 mm (for example, 57 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 67 mm).

[0044] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the outer peripheral edge of the hood inner panel 120 is fitted and connected to the hood outer panel 110, and a plurality of mutually spaced hollow areas 121 are provided on the main body of the hood inner panel 120. The existence of the hollow area 121 causes a weakened area to exist in the hood 1 as a whole (i.e., the area where the hollow area 121 is located), which can ensure the overall pedestrian safety protection performance requirements of the hood 1; the edge of the hollow area 121 is bent outward to form a hollow connecting flange 122, and the hollow connecting flange 122 is fitted and connected to the inner panel surface of the hood outer panel 110, so as to effectively connect the hood inner panel 120 and the hood outer panel 110 around the hollow area 121, avoid the collapse of the hood outer panel 110, and ensure the rigidity and modal requirements of the engine hood assembly; correspondingly, the first spacing space 101 and the second spacing space 102 are both located between the hollow area 121 and the outer peripheral edge of the hood inner panel 120.

[0045] In specific implementation, the main body of the hood inner panel 120 is spaced apart from the hood outer panel 110 , and there are spacing spaces between adjacent hollow areas 121 and in the area corresponding to the circumferential edge of the hood inner panel 120 . The first spacing space 101 and the second spacing space 102 are located in the area corresponding to the circumferential edge of the hood inner panel 120 .

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In order to meet the requirements of the fitting connection between the hollow connection flange 122 and the hood outer panel 110 and avoid affecting the appearance of the hood outer panel 110, the hollow connection flange 122 has a glue groove 123, and the hollow connection flange 122 and the hood inner panel 120 are glued and bonded. Specifically, the hollow connection flange 122 is connected to the hood outer panel 110 by applying a shock-absorbing expansion glue for the vehicle.

[0047] In a specific implementation, a plurality of hollow connection flanges 122 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the hollow area 121, or the hollow connection flanges 122 are arranged continuously along the circumference of the hollow area 121. In order to achieve a fitting connection with the hood outer panel 110, the hollow connection flange 122 includes an extension portion extending backward and a connection portion extending toward the center of the hollow area 121, and the connection portion has a glue groove 123 to be bonded with the glue of the hood outer panel 110.

[0048] In some embodiments where the hollow areas 121 are distributed, the hollow areas 121 are distributed at intervals along a preset path, and the preset path is related to the shape of the hood 1. The hood 1 can be trapezoidal, rectangular, square, etc., and the opposite sides of the hood 1 are roughly parallel to the front-to-back direction to facilitate reliable docking, and the opposite sides are set accordingly according to the requirements of the outer contour of the hood 1; when specifically set, the hood inner panel 120 and the hood outer panel 110 can be set corresponding to the outer contour shape of the hood 1, and the preset path is set according to the overall outer contour shape of the hood 1, and can be set as a path extending along the rear edge and the opposite side edge of the hood inner panel 120, or can be set as a path extending along the opposite side edge of the hood inner panel 120.

[0049] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the outer peripheral edge of the hood outer panel 110 and the outer peripheral edge of the hood inner panel 120 are bonded together by an adhesive layer 130. This embodiment meets the basic assembly requirements of the hood outer panel 110 and the hood inner panel 120 without affecting the appearance of the hood outer panel 110. At the same time, the bonding method also greatly improves the fault tolerance of the assembly, which is conducive to absorbing manufacturing and assembly errors. Specifically, the width of the adhesive layer 130 can be 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, 25mm, etc., and is selectively set according to the specific assembly requirements of different models, and is not limited here; wherein, the width of the adhesive layer 130 is proportional to the area of ​​the hood 1 to ensure the assembly strength.

[0050] In some specific embodiments of the adhesive layer 130, the adhesive layer 130 is a strip-shaped member that is continuously distributed along the circumference of the hood outer panel 110. The continuous distribution of the adhesive layer 130 makes the bonding area between the hood inner panel 120 and the hood outer panel 110 continuously distributed, the bonding force is more uniform, and the assembly sealing is also better.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , the opposite side edges of the hood outer panel 110 are bent inward to form an outer panel connection flange 111, and the opposite side edges of the hood inner panel 120 are bent inward to form an inner panel connection flange 124. The inner panel connection flange 124 corresponds to the outer panel connection flange 111, and the two are bonded together by an adhesive layer 130. The outer panel connection flange 111 can cover the hood inner panel 120, as well as the butt joint between the hood 1 and the vehicle body, so that the appearance of the whole vehicle is more beautiful after the hood 1 is closed; at the same time, the bonding of the inner panel connection flange 124 and the outer panel connection flange 111 is in the left-right direction, and the bonding of the other side edges of the hood inner panel 120 and the hood outer panel 110 is in the inside-outside direction. This multi-directional bonding method makes the bonding strength between the hood inner panel 120 and the hood outer panel 110 higher, can withstand multi-directional collision and extrusion forces, and is conducive to improving the overall structural strength of the hood 1.

[0052] Furthermore, the inner edge of the outer panel connecting flange 111 is bent toward the hinge 2 to form an outer panel extension flange 112, and the adhesive layer 130 extends to the outer panel extension flange 112 to bond the outer edge of the outer panel extension flange 112 to the inner panel connecting flange 124.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 7 The engine hood assembly also includes a middle beam 4 fixed to the vehicle body. The middle beam 4 is disposed between the two hoods 1, and overlapping steps 401 are formed on the left and right sides of the middle beam 4 respectively; when the hood lock 3 is locked, the side of the hood 1 overlaps the overlapping steps 401 on the corresponding side. The middle beam 4 is located between the two hoods 1, and its overlapping steps 401 can cover the seam between the middle beam 4 and the corresponding side hood 1, improving the aesthetics, while also reducing the difficulty of splicing the two hoods 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing and assembling the hood 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, the intermediate beam 4 may be Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 In the structure shown, the middle beam 4 includes a center beam plate 410, two side beam plates 420 and two shielding beam plates 430; the center beam plate 410 is a strip-shaped plate extending forward and backward, and is arranged in accordance with the joints of the two hoods 1. After the two hoods 1 are spliced ​​together, the center beam plate 410 is located between the two hoods 1, and the outer surfaces of the two hoods 1 and the outer plate surface of the center beam plate 410 form the outer finishing surface of the overall hood structure; the two side beam plates 420 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the center beam plate 410, and the outer edges of the side beam plates 420 are integrally connected with the side edges of the center beam plate 410; the shielding beam plate 430 is integrally connected with the inner edges of the corresponding side beam plates 420, and is arranged at an angle, and the shielding beam plate 430 extends in a direction away from the center beam plate 410; the side beam plate 420 and the shielding beam plate 430 on the same side constitute a lap step 401, and after the two hoods 1 are spliced ​​together, the shielding beam plate 430 is located on the inner side of the hood 1. In this embodiment, the central beam plate 410, the two side beam plates 420 and the two shielding beam plates 430 together constitute a beam body with a "J"-shaped cross-section. On the one hand, the middle beam 4 has a simple structure and is lighter in weight, which meets the lightweight design requirements; at the same time, the J-shaped structural design also strengthens the middle beam 4 itself, so that it will not deform during the repeated opening and closing of the hood 1, thereby maintaining the aesthetic appearance; in addition, the side beam plates 420 and the shielding beam plates 430 effectively block the joints, thereby ensuring the overall external shaping and necessary sealing of the hood structure formed after the hood 1 is closed.

[0055] More specifically, after the hood 1 is closed, the side edge of the hood 1 abuts against the side beam plate 420, further enhancing the sealing performance. In addition, the side beam plate 420 of this embodiment is arranged at an obtuse angle with the corresponding shielding beam plate 430, that is, the shielding beam plate 430 is tilted downward to prevent water or other dirty substances from accumulating between the shielding beam plate 430 and the middle beam plate 410.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 The middle beam 4 extends in the front-to-rear direction, and a connecting bracket 5 is provided below the middle beam 4. The connecting bracket 5 is used to connect with the vehicle body to fix the middle beam 4. At least one connecting bracket 5 is provided at the front end and the rear end of the middle beam 4 to provide effective connection support.

[0057] The connecting bracket 5 specifically includes an upper connecting frame 510 and a lower supporting frame 520. The upper connecting frame 510 is an arched bracket that arches downward, and the two ends of the upper connecting frame 510 are respectively connected to the lower plate surface of the center beam 410; the lower supporting frame 520 is a vertically extending frame, the upper end of which is connected to the arched area of ​​the upper connecting frame 510, and the lower end is connected to the vehicle body.

[0058] The upper connecting frame 510 specifically includes a connecting plate 511 and two connecting plates 512. The top end of the lower support frame 520 is bent to form a frame connecting flange, and the connecting plate 511 is fitted and connected to the frame connecting flange; the two connecting plates 512 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the first connecting plate 511, and are both arranged at an angle to the connecting plate 511. The two connecting plates 512 and the connecting plate 511 cooperate to form an arched area of ​​the upper connecting frame 510; the edge of one side of each connecting plate 512 away from the connecting plate 511 is bent to form a plate connecting flange 513, and the plate connecting flange 513 is fitted and connected to the lower plate surface of the middle beam plate 410.

[0059] In some embodiments that enable the connection between the connecting plate 511 and the frame connecting flange to be fitted together, fastening holes are respectively provided on the connecting plate 511 and the frame connecting flange, and the connecting plate 511 and the frame connecting flange are fixed by fasteners (such as threaded fasteners, straight-insert buckles, etc.) passing through the fastening holes.

[0060] In other embodiments capable of achieving a fitting connection between the connecting plate 511 and the frame connecting flange, a frame adhesive layer 130 is provided between the connecting plate 511 and the frame connecting flange, and the connecting plate 511 and the frame connecting flange are fitted and fixed by the frame adhesive layer 130 .

[0061] It should be noted that the above two embodiments capable of realizing the flanged connection connection between the connecting plate 511 and the frame can be used alone or in combination.

[0062] In some embodiments, the hinge 2 may be provided as follows: Figure 6 In the structure shown, the hinge 2 includes a movable hinge plate 210, a stationary hinge plate 220, a first link 230 and a second link 240. The movable hinge plate 210 is fixed to the hood 1, and the stationary hinge plate 220 is fixed to the vehicle body; the second link 240 is located between the first link 230 and the middle beam 4, and the two ends of the first link 230 are respectively hinged to the movable hinge plate 210 and the stationary hinge plate 220, and the two ends of the second link 240 are respectively hinged to the movable hinge plate 210 and the stationary hinge plate 220, and the hinge axes at both ends of the first link 230 and the hinge axes at both ends of the second link 240 are parallel to the front-rear direction. When the hood 1 is closed, the movable hinge plate 210 is close to the stationary hinge plate 220, and the first link 230 and the second link 240 are in a folded state, but they do not cross each other; after the hood 1 is opened,

[0063] More specifically, arched portions are respectively provided on the first connecting rod 230 and the second connecting rod 240, which can play a role of avoiding the movable hinge plate 210 and the static hinge plate 220, and at the same time can enhance the structural strength of the first connecting rod 230 and the second connecting rod 240 and enhance the stability of the hinged movement.

[0064] For more details, see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In order to ensure the reliability of the hinge and the stability of the swinging opening and closing of the hood 1, each hood 1 corresponds to two hinges 2, and the two hinges 2 are respectively arranged at the front end and the rear end of the hood 1.

[0065] More specifically, each hood 1 corresponds to two hinges 2 and two connecting brackets 5, and the hinges 2 and the connecting brackets 5 at the corresponding ends correspond to each other in the front-to-back direction. Since the hinged area is the area where the hood 1 is subjected to more concentrated force and is more easily deformed, the connecting brackets 5 not only play the role of supporting the middle beam 4, but also, after the hood 1 is closed, the connecting brackets 5 provide support in the area near the hinges 2 to avoid deformation of the hood 1, and also avoid deformation of the middle beam 4 caused by the opening and closing action of the hood 1, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the hood assembly.

[0066] In some specific assembly examples, the opposite sides of the two hoods 1 are respectively connected to the front fenders 6 of the vehicle body, a connecting beam 7 is arranged between the front fenders 6 on both sides, and the front hinge 2 and the connecting bracket 5 are respectively connected to the connecting beam 7.

[0067] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned engine hood assembly.

[0068] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle provided in this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned engine hood assembly, and the single hood 1 has a lower demand for opening space and is more labor-saving to open. At the same time, the overall hood structure forms a butterfly-like opening and closing structure, breaking through the traditional overall flip design, with a stronger sense of design, which can meet the user's personalized usage experience and enhance the quality of the entire vehicle.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
