[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary.

[0040] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 The engine hood latch assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the engine hood lock assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model includes: a lock mounting plate 10, a lock 11 and an adjustment component 20, the lock mounting plate 10 is connected to the engine hood 200, the lock 11 passes through the lock mounting plate 10, and the lock 11 is provided with a threaded portion 111, the adjustment component 20 includes: a nut 21 and an adjusting wrench 22, the nut 21 can be rotatably set on the lock mounting plate 10, and the nut 21 is axially limited with the lock mounting plate 10, the threaded portion 111 is threadedly matched with the nut 21, and the nut 21 and the adjusting wrench 22 are connected.

[0042] Specifically, the lock of the traditional engine hood is welded to the inner plate of the engine hood and cannot be adjusted manually. Due to the assembly tolerance of the vehicle, there is a gap and surface difference between the engine hood and the fender, which makes adjustment difficult. In addition, some engine hood locks are provided with threads, and the lock mounting plate is provided with nuts. The engine hood lock and the nut on the lock mounting plate are threaded to adjust the rise and fall of the engine hood lock in the up and down directions, but the nut needs to be adjusted by finding a wrench, resulting in the engine hood lock cannot be directly adjusted, resulting in low lock adjustment efficiency. Moreover, when the nut is adjusted by an ordinary wrench, the ordinary wrench cannot be rotated continuously in a full circle, and the installation position needs to be adjusted multiple times during the installation process, so the engine hood lock has a low adjustment efficiency.

[0043] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the design of the engine hood lock assembly 100, which is mainly composed of a lock mounting plate 10, a lock 11 and an adjustment component 20. The lock mounting plate 10 is connected to the engine hood 200 and can provide an installation position for the lock 11. The lock 11 is U-shaped as a whole, one end of the lock 11 is an optical axis that penetrates the lock mounting plate 10, and the other end of the lock 11 is provided with a threaded portion 111. The threaded portion 111 of the lock 11 is directly adjusted by hand through the adjustment component 20. The adjustment wrench 22 can rotate the nut 21 clockwise or counterclockwise. The nut 21 rotates in place, and the lock 11 is driven by the thread to rise or fall in the up and down directions, so as to adjust the surface difference between the engine hood 200 and the fender 202. In this way, not only the adjustment rate of the lock 11 can be improved, but also time can be saved.

[0044] Among them, the adjustment component 20 is mainly composed of a nut 21 and an adjusting wrench 22. The nut 21 and the adjusting wrench 22 are connected to form a whole, so that the adjusting wrench 22 can continuously rotate the nut 21 in a full circle, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency of the lock 11. It is not only convenient for direct adjustment, but also can improve the adjustment rate of the lock 11 and save time.

[0045] Therefore, the lock 11 in the engine hood lock assembly 100 is directly adjusted by hand through the adjustment component 20, and the nut 21 and the adjusting wrench 22 are connected to form a whole, so that the adjusting wrench 22 can continuously rotate the nut 21 in a full circle. The adjusting wrench 22 can rotate the nut 21 clockwise or counterclockwise, and the lock 11 is driven by the thread to rise or fall in the up and down directions, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency of the lock 11, which is not only convenient for direct adjustment, but also can increase the adjustment rate of the lock 11 and save time.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the nut 21 is circumferentially provided with a first clamping portion 211 , and one end of the adjusting wrench 22 is provided with a second clamping portion 221 , and the first clamping portion 211 is clamped and matched with the second clamping portion 221 .

[0047] The adjusting wrench 22 is engaged with the first engaging portion 211 of the nut 21 through the second engaging portion 221 , so that the adjusting wrench 22 can be restricted on the nut 21 , thereby preventing the adjusting wrench 22 from falling off when the adjusting wrench 22 adjusts the nut 21 .

[0048] According to the specific embodiment of the utility model, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first clamping portion 211 is a clamping slot, and the second clamping portion 221 is a buckle, and the buckle is clamped and matched with the clamping slot.

[0049] Specifically, the first clamping portion 211 is a clamping groove opened on the nut 21, and the clamping groove is a groove recessed into the inside of the nut 21. Correspondingly, the second clamping portion 221 is a buckle set on the adjusting wrench 22. The adjusting wrench 22 has a U-shaped groove, and the U-shaped groove can accommodate the nut 21. The buckle is set in the U-shaped groove. The buckle is a protrusion, and the buckle extends into the clamping groove, which can be easily clamped with the clamping groove, so that the adjusting wrench 22 and the nut 21 can be connected as one.

[0050] Furthermore, the number of the slots may be two, and correspondingly, the number of the buckles may also be two, and the two buckles may be engaged with the two slots in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the adjusting wrench 22 and the nut 21 .

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, the lock mounting plate 10 is provided with a plurality of first limiting portions 101 , and the other end of the adjusting wrench 22 is correspondingly provided with a second limiting portion 222 , and the second limiting portion 222 selectively cooperates with one of the plurality of first limiting portions 101 .

[0052] Among them, when the adjusting wrench 22 adjusts the nut 21 to a suitable position, the second limiting portion 222 of the adjusting wrench 22 is limitedly cooperated with one of the multiple first limiting portions 101 of the lock mounting plate 10, thereby further preventing the adjusting wrench 22 from shifting and falling off. The placement position of the adjusting wrench 22 can be selected according to the position where the lock 11 actually needs to be adjusted, and it has good adaptability.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, a protrusion 30 is provided on the side of the lock mounting plate 10 facing the adjusting wrench 22 , and a plurality of first limiting portions 101 are provided on the protrusion 30 , and the plurality of first limiting portions 101 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the protrusion 30 .

[0054] The provision of the protruding portion 30 can increase the strength of the lock mounting plate 10 , and a plurality of first limiting portions 101 are provided on the protruding portion 30 , thereby ensuring the strength of the first limiting portions 101 .

[0055] Furthermore, a plurality of first limiting portions 101 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the protruding portion 30 , which can provide different placement positions for the adjusting wrench 22 , so that it can be selected according to the position of the lock buckle 11 to be adjusted.

[0056] In addition, six first limit portions 101 can be provided. When the adjusting wrench 22 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, the up and down positions of the lock buckle 11 are controlled according to the surface difference adjustment requirements between the engine cover 200 and the fender 202. Each rotation circle can achieve six stop positions, so that the adjusting wrench 22 can have different placement positions.

[0057] According to the specific embodiment of the utility model, Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, the first limiting portion 101 is a limiting hole, and the second limiting portion 222 is a limiting protrusion. The limiting protrusion is protruded toward the limiting hole, and the limiting protrusion extends into the limiting hole to be limitedly matched with the limiting hole.

[0058] Specifically, the limiting protrusion provided on the adjusting wrench 22 can selectively cooperate with one of the multiple limiting holes, and the limiting protrusion extends into the limiting hole, thereby ensuring the installation position of the adjusting wrench 22 on the lock mounting plate 10, and also improving the stability and reliability of the placement of the adjusting wrench 22.

[0059] Furthermore, the adjusting wrench 22 is a plastic structural part and can be deformed. When the limiting protrusion of the adjusting wrench 22 is subjected to a certain force, the limiting protrusion can be separated from the limiting hole by deformation, thereby facilitating the adjusting wrench 22 to rotate the nut 21.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the lock mounting plate 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 40 , at least one mounting hole 40 is configured as an oblong hole, and the oblong hole is extended in the lateral direction of the engine cover 200 .

[0061] The lock mounting plate 10 is fixed by fasteners penetrating the mounting holes 40, which can prevent the lock mounting plate 10 from falling off. The fasteners can be bolts. The oblong holes can be arranged to facilitate the adjustment of the installation position of the lock mounting plate 10. Moreover, the oblong holes are arranged to extend in the lateral direction of the engine cover 200, so that the lock mounting plate 10 can be adjusted in the lateral position. The lateral direction is the left-right direction. Since the lock mounting plate 10 is installed on the engine cover 200, the gap between the engine cover 200 and the fender 202 can be adjusted.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of scale lines 41 are arranged on both sides of the extending direction of the oblong hole, and the plurality of scale lines 41 are arranged at intervals.

[0063] Among them, scale lines 41 are set on both sides of the extension direction of the oblong hole, and the multiple scale lines 41 are evenly spaced, and the distance between two adjacent scale lines 41 is set to 1 mm, so as to facilitate the quantification of the lateral adjustment amount of the lock mounting plate 10 and realize the quantitative adjustment of the gap on both sides of the engine cover 200 and the fender 202.

[0064] Specifically, when adjusting the lock mounting plate 10, it is not necessary to completely remove the bolts. To loosen the bolts, the lock 11 can be pushed laterally and adjusted laterally with reference to the scale line 41 until the gap on both sides of the engine cover 200 and the fender 202 is adjusted evenly, and then the bolts at the oblong holes are tightened. At this time, the position of the lock 11 has been locked, and the bolts corresponding to the remaining mounting holes 40 of the lock mounting plate 10 can be assembled, thereby ensuring the strength of the lock mounting plate 10.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the lock mounting plate 10 is provided with an inserting portion 102 , and the inserting portion 102 is used for inserting and matching with the inserting hole 201 provided in the engine cover 200 .

[0066] Among them, the plug-in part 102 of the lock mounting plate 10 is constructed as a plug-in piece, and the plug-in part 102 is inserted into the plug-in hole 201 opened in the engine cover 200 for plug-in cooperation, which can limit the longitudinal position of the lock mounting plate 10, thereby preventing the lock mounting plate 10 from moving in the longitudinal direction, which is the actual longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0067] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model comprises: an engine hood 200 and the engine hood lock assembly 100 of the above embodiment.
