Detailed implementation manners

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present invention, but only represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This embodiment proposes a dip-molded protective cover for a tractor hood latch, as Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, it includes a casing sheath part 1 sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the casing 4, a hook sheath part 2 sleeved on the hook 5, and the tractor hood and the frame are connected and fixed by buckling the hook 5 into the clamping groove of the tractor frame. In actual application, the working environment of the tractor is generally bumpy. The hook 5 is only buckled into the clamping groove on the frame in the extending direction of its hook tongue, and there is no corresponding fixation in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the hook tongue. After the tractor vibrates, the hook 5 is likely to shake in the clamping groove of the frame, and even cause deformation of the hook tongue. On the other hand, if the hook 5 vibrates for a long time in the extending direction of its hook tongue, the tension spring connected to the casing 4 will be stretched and compressed frequently, resulting in metal fatigue and reducing the service life of the tension spring. Therefore, rubber capsules 3 are installed in the areas where the casing sheath part 1 and the hook sheath part 2 face each other. The casing sheath part 1 and the hook sheath part 2 are connected by a connecting sheath part 11. The two rubber capsules 3 move relative to each other until they abut against each other, thereby locking the hook 5 in the clamping groove in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the hook tongue, and realizing the buckling of the hook 5 and the clamping groove in two directions. This not only reduces the shaking amplitude of the hook 5 in the clamping groove, but also reduces the vibration amplitude of the hook 5 in the extending direction of its hook tongue, and prolongs the service life of the tension spring.

[0030] Utilizing the soft characteristic of the rubber capsule 3 itself, after the hook 5 and the clamping groove are buckled, the rubber capsule 3 will fill the remaining area between the hook 5 and the clamping groove, reducing the gap between the hook 5 and the clamping groove, further reducing the shaking degree of the hook 5 in the clamping groove, and the rubber capsule 3 can also absorb part of the acting force generated by vibration to protect the hook 5.

[0031] On the basis of the above solution, the rubber capsule 3 is composed of a fixed boss 31 and a rubber sleeve 32. The fixed boss 31 is made of a hard material, and the rubber sleeve 32 is made of a flexible material such as rubber. The fixed boss 31 is parallel to the extending direction of the hook tongue.

[0032] In order to improve the smoothness of the hook tongue entering the clamping groove, after the two rubber capsules 3 abut against each other, a first V-shaped groove with an upward opening is formed between the two rubber capsules 3. The hook tongue can smoothly enter the clamping groove under the guidance of the two hypotenuses of the V-shaped groove. Similarly, in order to facilitate the hook tongue to smoothly leave the clamping groove, after the two rubber capsules 3 abut against each other, a second V-shaped groove with a downward opening is formed between the two rubber capsules 3.

[0033] Specifically, a clamping plate 6 is arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the rubber sheath 32. Connecting plates 7 are rotatably connected to both the upper and lower sides of the clamping plate 6. The other ends of the connecting plates 7 are slidably assembled on the fixed boss 31 along the extending direction of the hook tongue. A spring 8 is installed between the clamping plate 6 and the fixed boss 31. When the rubber sheath 32 is not subjected to external force, the spring 8 exerts a thrust on the clamping plate 6, and the clamping plate 6 pushes the middle part of the rubber sheath 32 to move. When the two rubber sheaths 32 are in contact with each other, a first V-shaped groove with an upward opening and a second V-shaped groove with a downward opening are formed. When the card slot comes into contact with the rubber sheath, the rubber sheath will exert a force on the connecting plate 7. On the one hand, the connecting plate 7 will drive the clamping plate 6 to contract inward, facilitating the engagement between the card slot and the hook 5. On the other hand, the connecting plate 7 protects the spring 8 to prevent the card slot from coming into contact with the spring 8.

[0034] On the basis of the above solution, a guide plate 9 is installed on the fixed boss 31 along the extending direction of the hook tongue. A guide groove 10 is formed in the guide plate 9. A guide rod is installed at a position corresponding to the guide groove 10 on the connecting plate 7, and the guide rod is slidably assembled in the guide groove 10.

[0035] If the hook 5 is slightly deformed, in order to achieve the normal engagement between the hook 5 and the card slot, we integrally form lateral extension parts 21 perpendicular to the extending direction of the hook tongue on both sides of the hook sheath part 2 of the hook, and integrally form a longitudinal extension part 22 along the extending direction of the hook tongue at the upper end of the hook sheath part 2, increasing the contact area between the hook 5 and the card slot. The extended parts can guide the lock, ensuring that the lock can be accurately docked during fastening, realizing the compensation for the slight deformation of the hook 5, and facilitating the normal engagement between the hook 5 and the card slot.

[0036] Since the production environment of the tractor is relatively harsh, if the sleeve sheath part 1 frequently comes into contact with rainwater and air, it is prone to corrosion and damage, which may further lead to the dropping of the entire protective cover. Therefore, a first plastic dipping layer 12 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve sheath part 1. The first plastic dipping layer 12 is coated on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve sheath part 1 through the plastic dipping process. Similarly, a second plastic dipping layer 13 is provided on the connecting sheath part 11; the sleeve sheath part 1 is hermetically protected by the first plastic dipping layer 12 and the second plastic dipping layer 13, reducing the contact between the sleeve sheath part 1 and rainwater and air, and extending the service life of the sleeve sheath part 1.

[0037] It should be noted that the hook sheath part 2 and the rubber bladder 3 are not subjected to plastic dipping treatment.
