[0022] As used herein, the mention of "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] Next, the support plate and the vehicle provided by the present utility model will be described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0024] In the present application, the description of each direction refers to the orientation when the support plate is installed on the vehicle and works normally. The front - to - back direction is the direction from the front of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle; the left - to - right direction is the left - to - right direction of the vehicle, approximately horizontal; the up - and - down direction is the direction from the roof of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle, approximately perpendicular to the bottom surface.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 which is a three - dimensional structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the support plate of the present application; Figure 2 is Figure 1 a top - view structural schematic diagram of Figure 3 is Figure 1 an assembled structural schematic diagram of the support plate of and a part of the inner panel of the engine hood. The present application provides a support plate. The support plate includes a support - plate body 1.

[0026] The support plate body 1 includes a main body portion 11, two support portions 12 and two connecting portions 13. The two support portions 12 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the main body portion 11. One support portion 12 is arranged at one end of the main body portion 11, and the other support portion 12 is arranged at the other end of the main body portion 11. The two connecting portions 13 are respectively arranged at one end of the corresponding support portion 12 away from the main body portion 11. One connecting portion 13 is arranged at one end of a support portion 12 away from the main body portion 11, and the other connecting portion 13 is arranged at one end of the other support portion 12 away from the main body portion 11.

[0027] A glue application groove 111 is arranged on one side surface of the main body portion 11 facing the outer panel of the engine hood (not shown in the figure). There is an adhesive in the glue application groove 111. The main body portion 11 is connected to the outer panel of the engine hood through the adhesive, which can enhance the fixing effect between the main body portion 11 and the outer panel of the engine hood, and at the same time can effectively reduce the problem of abnormal noise generated by the outer panel of the engine hood, such as the up and down vibration of the outer panel of the engine hood when driving on a bumpy road surface; when pressing the outer panel of the engine hood by hand, the large deformation of the outer panel of the engine hood generates a "clicking" rebound sound, etc. In a specific embodiment, there is a vibration isolation glue in the glue application groove 111, and the vibration isolation glue cures and expands when heated and is connected to the outer panel of the engine hood, so that the main body portion 11 is bonded to the outer panel of the engine hood.

[0028] Both of the two support portions 12 are penetrated with weakening holes 121. The weakening holes 121 are arranged at intervals with the glue application groove 111. The shapes of the weakening holes 121 include but are not limited to circular, oval, triangular, square, polygonal, etc. The shapes and sizes of the weakening holes 121 of the two support portions 12 can be the same or different. There are weakening holes 121 penetrated in both of the two support portions 12, which can effectively reduce the weight of the support plate on the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the support plate. At the same time, setting the weakening holes 121 can improve the flexibility of the support plate, make the support plate more flexible when bearing a load, and reduce the risk of the support plate breaking.

[0029] The two connecting portions 13 are used for being installed on the inner panel 2 of the engine hood, as Figure 3 shown. The installation methods of the connecting portion 13 and the inner panel 2 of the engine hood include but are not limited to welding, bonding, clamping, screwing, etc. In a specific embodiment, a connecting surface (not shown in the figure) is arranged on one side of the connecting portion 13 facing the inner panel 2 of the engine hood, and the connecting surface is welded on the inner panel 2 of the engine hood, so that the connecting portion 13 is installed on the inner panel 2 of the engine hood. It can be understood that the shape of the connecting portion 13 can be set according to the position where it is installed on the inner panel 2 of the engine hood. The shapes of the two connecting portions 13 can be the same or different.

[0030] In the above manner, the support plate of the present application is installed on the inner panel 2 of the engine hood, which can effectively support the outer panel of the engine hood, thereby improving the dent resistance and stability of the outer panel of the engine hood. The main body portion 11 of the support plate is fixedly connected to the outer panel of the engine hood through the adhesive in the glue application groove 111. The two connecting portions 13 are installed on the inner panel 2 of the engine hood, which can effectively reduce the problem of abnormal noise generated by the outer panel of the engine hood and improve the user experience. Weakening holes 121 are provided through both support portions 12, which can effectively reduce the weight of the support plate and improve the flexibility of the support plate on the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the support plate, making the support plate more adaptable when bearing a load and reducing the risk of the support plate breaking. And by providing the glue application groove 111 in the main body portion 11 and the weakening holes 121 in the two support portions 12 respectively, the pedestrian protection effect can be effectively improved.

[0031] In addition, compared with the support plate of the prior art, the support plate of the present application has a simple structure and a small volume, which reduces the area of the glue application groove 111 of the main body portion, reduces the usage amount of the adhesive in the glue application groove 111, and reduces the number of welding points between the connecting portion 13 and the inner panel 2 of the engine hood. The support plate of the present application can significantly reduce the unit cost and manufacturing cost of the support plate while effectively supporting the outer panel of the engine hood and being friendly to pedestrian protection, and at the same time reduce the usage cost of the adhesive, making the weight and price of the support plate of the present application have obvious advantages.

[0032] The material and size of the support plate can be set according to the actual situation and are not limited herein. For example, the specific size of the support plate can be adjusted according to the position where it is installed on the inner panel 2 of the engine hood. In a specific embodiment, the material of the support plate includes but is not limited to plastics, metals, sheet metals, etc. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is Figure 1 the cross-sectional structure schematic diagram of. The width H1 of the support plate body 1 in the first direction D1 is greater than or equal to 40 mm and less than or equal to 55 mm. The first direction D1 is the width extension direction of the support plate body 1. The width H1 of the support plate body 1 in the first direction D1 includes but is not limited to 40 mm, 41 mm, 43.65 mm, 45 mm, 48 mm, 50 mm, 52 mm, 53.5 mm, 55 mm, etc. The depth H2 of the glue application groove 111 includes but is not limited to 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, etc. Compared with the prior art, setting the width H1 of the support plate body 1 within a reasonable range in this way makes the width of the support plate body 1 relatively narrow. Only one glue application groove 111 is provided in the main body portion 11 and the weakening holes 121 are provided in the support portion 12, which can effectively reduce the volume of the support plate on the premise of ensuring the strength of the support plate, and at the same time make the improvement effect of the support plate on pedestrian protection obvious.

[0033] In one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, both ends of the main body portion 11 are higher than one end of the two support portions 12 away from the main body portion 11. That is, the overall shape of the support plate body 1 is similar to a "ji" - shaped structure. One end of the support portion 12 is arranged perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the main body portion 11, the other end of the support portion 12 is arranged perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the connecting portion 13, and the main body portion 11 is arranged parallel or nearly parallel to the connecting portion 13.

[0034] By the above - mentioned method, on the premise of ensuring the structural strength of the support plate, the support plate can effectively share the bearing capacity, reduce the possibility of deformation or rupture of the support plate when bearing a load, so that the support plate has better compressive performance.

[0035] In one embodiment, positioning holes 113 are respectively formed at both ends of the main body portion 11. The positioning holes 113 are used for positioning during the assembly process to align the support plate with the outer panel of the engine hood, thereby improving the accuracy and precision of the assembly and reducing the problem of assembly failure caused by errors. The two positioning holes 113 are respectively located at opposite ends of the glue - applying groove 111, and each positioning hole 113 is located between one end of the glue - applying groove 111 and a weakening hole 121. It can be seen that the glue - applying groove 111 and the two positioning holes 113 are all located on the main body portion 11, which can better meet the pedestrian protection requirements while ensuring the stability of the support plate.

[0036] In one embodiment, the centerlines of the glue - applying groove 111, the weakening hole 121, and the positioning hole 113 are all located in the same plane. Such a setting can enhance the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the support plate, and at the same time, it can be accurately positioned without complex adjustment during installation, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the assembly.

[0037] In one embodiment, a rib structure 112 is arranged on one side of the main body portion 11 facing the outer panel of the engine hood, which can enhance the stiffness and stability of the main body portion 11, effectively share the load, and improve the compressive strength of the support plate. The glue - applying groove 111 is arranged on the rib structure 112. The glue - applying groove 111 can be arranged at the top of the rib structure 112 or on the side of the rib structure 112. Arranging the glue - applying groove 111 in the rib structure 112 can provide an effective support surface for the subsequent use of the adhesive, making the connection between the main body portion 11 and the outer panel of the engine hood more firm.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the height H3 of the rib structure 112 is 3 - 5 mm. The height H3 of the rib structure 112 includes but is not limited to 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, etc. Controlling the height H3 of the rib structure 112 within a reasonable range can reduce the possibility of the support plate breaking due to the manufacturing process.

[0039] In one embodiment, a rib structure 112 is also provided on the side of the support portion 12 facing the outer panel of the engine hood. A weakening hole 121 is provided in the rib structure 112. This arrangement can enhance the stability and compressive strength of the support plate.

[0040] In another embodiment, a first rib structure and a second rib structure are provided on the side of the support plate body 1 facing the outer panel of the engine hood. A glue application groove 111 is provided in the first rib structure. A positioning hole 113 and a weakening hole 121 are provided in the second rib structure. The first rib structure is connected to the second rib structure. The height of the first rib structure is greater than the height of the second rib structure. This arrangement can enable the first rib structure to bear a greater load and provide better load-bearing capacity. By providing the first rib structure and the second rib structure with different heights, the main body portion 11 and the support portion 12 can be better connected to form a good fit.

[0041] In one embodiment, the support plate body 1 is symmetrically arranged along the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is the length extension direction of the support plate body 1. This arrangement can enable the support plate to be evenly distributed when stressed, reduce the phenomenon of deformation or damage of the support plate caused by stress concentration, and improve the stability and durability of the support plate; at the same time, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the production cost can be reduced.

[0042] On the other hand, the present application provides a vehicle (not shown in the figure), and the vehicle includes the support plate in any of the above embodiments. The support plate in this embodiment is the support plate described in the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated herein one by one. The support plate can be installed in the engine hood of the vehicle, which can improve the anti-denting performance of the engine hood of the vehicle, reduce the problem of abnormal noise in the engine hood, and enhance the user experience.

[0043] In one embodiment, the vehicle includes an engine hood (not shown in the figure). The engine hood includes an inner panel 2 of the engine hood and an outer panel of the engine hood (not shown in the figure) arranged opposite to each other. The main body portion 11 of the support plate is connected to the outer panel of the engine hood. The main body portion 11 is connected to the outer panel of the engine hood through an adhesive in the glue application groove 111. The connecting portion 13 of the support portion 12 is connected to the inner panel 2 of the engine hood. This arrangement can effectively improve the anti-denting performance and stability of the outer panel of the engine hood.

[0044] The position of the support plate in the engine hood can be set according to the actual situation and will not be limited herein. In one embodiment, the vehicle includes two support plates. The two support plates are symmetrically arranged along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, one end of the two support plates close to the window is away from or close to the other end away from the window. That is, the two support plates are symmetrically arranged at the rear of the inner panel 2 of the engine hood. In a specific embodiment, the two support plates are symmetrically arranged in an inverted V shape at the rear of the inner panel 2 of the engine hood, as Figure 3As shown. In another specific embodiment, two support plates are symmetrically arranged in a positive octagonal shape at the rear of the inner panel 2 of the engine hood. Such an arrangement can increase the support area of the support plates for the outer panel of the engine hood, effectively improve the anti-denting performance of the rear part of the outer panel of the engine hood, reduce the problem of abnormal noise generated by the outer panel of the engine hood, and improve the user experience. In addition, the structures of the two support plates are the same, both being a "Ji"-shaped symmetric structure, enabling the two support plates to be arranged in a universal left-right manner during installation, and at the same time, reducing the mold cost for manufacturing the support plates, simplifying the manufacturing process, and thus reducing the production cost.
