The fixed page 2 includes a fixed end face and a connecting end face. The fixed end face is connected to the vehicle body. A fixed seat 4 is provided on the connecting end face. A support rod is hinged in the fixed seat 4. A support column 43 is hingedly provided on the support rod. A buckle 21 is also provided on the connecting end face. The support column 43 is snap-fitted with the buckle 21. The support rod is formed by connecting multiple connecting rods.

[0023] A plurality of first mounting holes 20 are provided on the fixed page 2, and a plurality of second mounting holes 10 are provided on the opening and closing page 1.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] The support rod includes a first connecting rod 41 and a second connecting rod 42. One end of the first connecting rod 41 is hinged with the fixed seat 4, and the other end of the first connecting rod 41 is hinged with the second connecting rod 42. A cavity 40 for accommodating the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 is provided in the fixed seat 4. A cavity 410 for accommodating the second connecting rod 42 is provided in the first connecting rod 41.

[0026] The bottom of the hinged ends of the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 has a rounded corner, so as to prevent interference between the fixed seat 4 and the first connecting rod 41 and between the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42.

[0027] The second connecting rod 42 has a storage cavity 420, and the support column 43 is hingedly arranged in the storage cavity 420, thus saving more space.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixed page 2 includes a fixing plate and a connecting plate 22. The fixing plate is provided with a slot, and the connecting plate 22 is inserted into the slot. The fixing plate and the connecting plate 22 are provided with corresponding connection holes 201. Bolts are installed in the connection holes 201. The connecting plate 22 is hinged with the opening and closing page 1. The connecting plate 22 includes a reinforcing plate 222 and a plugging plate 221. The plugging plate 221 is plugged into the slot. The reinforcing plate 222 is welded with the plugging plate 221. The thickness and size of the reinforcing plate 222 are larger than those of the plugging plate 221. The reinforcing plate 222 is hinged with the opening and closing page 1.

[0029] During use, after opening the front hood of the vehicle, by pulling the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod, the second connecting rod 42 rotates 180° around the hinge point with the first connecting rod 41, so that the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 are in a straight line state, and the support column 43 is clamped and matched with the buckle 21, thereby forming a triangular structure, making the support effect on the front hood better, and the support structure of the present application is simpler.

[0030] Embodiment 2

[0031] The difference from the above embodiment is as follows:

[0032] The support rod includes a first connecting rod 41 and a second connecting rod 42. The first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 are sleeved with each other. The support column 43 is hinged on the second connecting rod 42. The first connecting rod 41 is hinged on the fixed seat 4.

[0033] A locking component for locking the relative positions of the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 is provided between the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42.

[0034] The locking component is a ball 421 and a fixing hole 411 respectively arranged on the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42. The ball 421 is arranged in cooperation with the fixing hole 411.

[0035] In use, after opening the front hood of the vehicle, by pulling the second connecting rod 42, the second connecting rod 42 slides along the axial direction of the first connecting rod 41, so that the marbles 421 on the second connecting rod 42 are engaged with the fixing holes 411 on the first connecting rod 41, thereby achieving the function of fixing the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42. And by pulling the first connecting rod 41 to swing around the hinge point with the fixing seat 4, at the same time, the support column 43 on the second connecting rod 42 is engaged with the buckle 21, thereby forming a triangular structure, making the support effect on the front hood better, and the support structure of the present application is simpler.
