[0039] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0040] See also Figure 1, this embodiment discloses an engine, which is installed in the hood at the front end of a tractor and includes a cylinder block 1, a cylinder head 2, a cylinder head cover 3, a flywheel housing 4, a gear chamber cover 5, a cooling fan 6, a mounting bracket 7, and an aftertreatment device 8. The cylinder head 2 is disposed at the top of the cylinder block 1, and the cylinder head cover 3 is disposed on the cylinder head 2. The flywheel housing 4 and the gear chamber cover 5 are disposed on opposite sides of the cylinder block 1, and the cooling fan 6 is disposed on the side where the gear chamber cover 5 is located and above the gear chamber cover 5. The aftertreatment device 8 is fixed above the cylinder head cover 3 through the mounting bracket 7.

[0041] See Figure 2 , the cylinder head cover 3 includes a cover body 31 and a mounting flange 32 located on the circumferential side of the bottom of the cover body 31. A vertically penetrating through-hole 321 is formed in the mounting flange 32. The through-hole 321 is correspondingly arranged with a threaded hole (not marked in the figure) on the cylinder head 2 for the installation and fixation of the cylinder head cover 3.

[0042] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the mounting bracket 7 includes a plurality of struts 71 fixed on the cylinder head 2 and a mounting plate 72 fixed to the plurality of struts 71. The strut 71 includes a support portion 711 and a screw portion 712 located at the bottom end of the support portion 711. The diameter of the screw portion 712 is smaller than that of the support portion 711, and a stepped surface 713 is formed between the screw portion 712 and the support portion 711. The stepped surface 713 is a pressing surface where the strut 71 contacts the cylinder head cover 3. While the screw portion 712 passes through the through-hole 321 in the mounting flange 32 and is fixed to the cylinder head 2, the cylinder head cover 3 is connected to the cylinder head 2 by being pressed against the mounting flange 32 through the stepped surface 713.

[0043] In this embodiment, the support portion 711 is provided in a cylindrical shape, and clamping surfaces 7111 parallel to each other are symmetrically provided on the outer surface of the support portion 711 for clamping by a wrench to screw and fix the strut 71 to the cylinder head 2 or disassemble it from the cylinder head 2. The struts 71 are respectively located on the exhaust side and the intake side of the engine and are distributed along the length direction of the cylinder head cover 3. A transverse support member 73 is provided between adjacent struts 71 on the same side, and both ends of the transverse support member 73 are respectively fixed to the adjacent two struts 71.

[0044] See Figure 7, the lateral support member 73 includes a laterally extending support body 731 and locking rings 732 located at both ends of the support body 731. The locking ring 732 includes an arc segment 7321 connected to the support body 731 and a straight segment 7322 located at the end of the arc segment 7321. During installation, the arc segment 7321 is sleeved on the support column 71. By passing a bolt through the straight segment 7322 and the support body 731, while locking the straight segment 7322 to the support body 731, the arc segment 7321 is also clamped onto the support portion 711, thereby locking and fixing the locking ring 732 to the support portion 711. In the normal state, the support column 71 only receives axial force. At this time, the lateral support member 73 is in an unloaded state. When the support column 71 receives force in other directions, the lateral support member 73 will be stressed and tightened, and the force received will be transmitted by the lateral support member 73 and evenly distributed on each support column 71, ensuring the overall stability and support strength of the mounting frame 7, and effectively guaranteeing the installation reliability of the post-treatment device 8 during use.

[0045] In other embodiments, the outer surface of the support portion 711 can be set as a hexagonal surface, that is, the cross-section of the support portion 711 is a hexagon. At this time, there is no need to additionally provide a clamping surface 7111, and any two opposite surfaces in the hexagonal surface can be used as the clamping surface 7111. However, if the lateral support member 73 needs to be installed at this time, a cylindrical outer surface needs to be machined on the surface of the support portion 711 for the locking ring 732 to be sleeved and locked and fixed.

[0046] See Figure 6 , a threaded hole 714 is axially opened downward along the top of the support portion 711, and the mounting plate 72 is fixed to the top of the support portion 711 by bolts. The bolts pass through the mounting plate 72 and are tightened into the threaded hole 714, thereby fixing the mounting plate 72 and the support column 71 together. The post-treatment device 8 is fixed to the mounting plate 72.

[0047] See Figure 4 , a relief groove 311 for avoiding the support portion 711 is provided on the cover body 31 corresponding to the through hole 321. The relief groove 311 extends along the axis direction of the support column 71 and is recessed in the direction radially outward of the support column 71.

[0048] See Figure 8 , the mounting frame 7 in this embodiment further includes a support plate 74 fixed to the cylinder head 2, and the support plate 74 is arranged on the side where the flywheel housing 4 of the engine is located. The bottom of the support plate 74 is fixed to the cylinder head 2, and the top of the support plate 74 is connected to the mounting plate 72. The support plate 74 includes a vertical plate 741 fixed to the cylinder head 2 and a horizontal plate 742 bent from the top of the vertical plate 741 toward the side where the cylinder head 2 is located, and the horizontal plate 742 is fixed to the mounting plate 72. A lifting lug 7411 is provided on one side of the vertical plate 741, and a weight reduction opening 7412 is provided in the middle of the vertical plate 741.

[0049] See Figure 9 Above the flywheel housing 4, there is a fixing bracket 9 for installing the gas spring of the front hood of the tractor. The fixing bracket 9 includes a main body frame 91 and connecting arms 92 extending from both sides of the main body frame 91 towards the side where the cooling fan 6 is located. The bottom of the main body frame 91 is fixed to the flywheel housing 4, and the middle part is fixed to the support plate 74. One end of the gas spring of the hood is rotatably connected to the inside of the tractor hood, and the other end is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 92.

[0050] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the above exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of the present invention falling within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalent technical solutions.
