[0030] In the highly competitive automotive market, cost control is an issue that every vehicle manufacturer must face. The front hood of the front engine compartment, as an important component of the vehicle, not only serves to beautify the vehicle but is also an access for repairing parts inside the front compartment. The support rod plays a role in supporting the front hood and keeping the front hood at a certain opening angle for a long time. However, how to install the support rod in the front engine compartment when the layout space is limited is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0031] To solve the above technical problems, referring to Figures 1 to 4 as shown, the present application provides a front engine compartment structure, including a front engine compartment bracket 10 and a strut assembly 20. The front engine compartment bracket 10 forms a cavity 11. The front engine compartment includes a bracket column 12, and the bracket column 12 extends along the second direction X2. The bracket column 12 is disposed close to the cavity 11. The column has a first plane 13 extending along the second direction X2 and a second plane 14 extending along the second direction X2. The second direction X2 is perpendicular to the second direction X2; the strut assembly 20 includes a fixed buckle 21 and a support rod 22. The fixed buckle 21 includes a first buckle portion 211 extending along the second direction X2 and a second buckle portion 213 extending along the second direction X2. The first buckle portion 211 and the second buckle portion 213 are an integral structure. The first buckle portion 211 is correspondingly disposed on the first plane 13, and the second buckle portion 213 is correspondingly disposed on the second plane 14. The support rod 22 is movably connected to the fixed buckle 21 to be able to support the engine hood 40.

[0032] Since a cavity 11 is formed inside the front engine compartment bracket 10, the installation space inside the front engine compartment is limited, resulting in limited installation space for the support rod 22 assembly when installing the support rod 22 assembly. Therefore, a bracket column 12 is provided around the wall, and the fixing buckle 21 of the support rod 22 assembly is mounted on the first plane 13 and the second plane 14 perpendicular to each other on the bracket column 12, so that the first buckle portion 211 and the second buckle portion 213 of the fixing buckle 21 also form a right-angled shape, thereby changing the horizontal installation of the traditional fixing buckle 21 into a vertical installation through design, and further reducing the installation space occupied by the fixing buckle 21 alone in the second direction X2, so that the installation of other structures in the cavity 11 can be not interfered. At the same time, it does not affect the rotation of the support rod 22 in the front engine compartment structure to rotate the support rod 22 to support the engine hood 40.

[0033] In some embodiments, the front engine compartment bracket 10 is a steel frame structure formed by cutting and welding steel, and the front engine compartment bracket 10 can be used to carry engines, range extenders, reducers, headlight modules, bumper structures, etc. in the front engine compartment structure.

[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the second direction X2 is generally the up-down direction of the vehicle, the second direction X2 is generally the left-right direction of the vehicle, the bracket column 12 is arranged along the second direction X2. Since the bracket column 12 is a square steel structure, the first plane 13 and the second plane 14 are formed in the second direction X2 and the second opposite direction, and the two planes can be used for installing and connecting other structures, including the fixing buckle 21.

[0035] In some embodiments, after the front engine compartment bracket 10 is manufactured, the fixing buckle 21 of the strut assembly 20 is installed on the bracket column 12, and the support rod 22 can rotate around the fixing buckle 21. When the support rod 22 is rotated and placed along the second direction X2, it can be accommodated in the front engine compartment and the engine hood 40 can be closed; when the support rod 22 is rotated and placed along the second direction X2 and abuts against the engine hood 40, the engine hood 40 can be kept at the opening and closing angle after being opened.

[0036] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the strut assembly 20 further includes a strut buckle 223. The strut buckle 223 is provided on the front engine compartment bracket 10, and the strut buckle 223 is located on the side of the support portion 222 away from the fixing buckle 21. The strut buckle 223 is used to fix the support portion 222. When the support rod 22 is received in the front engine compartment structure, the support portion 222 can be snapped into the strut buckle 223 to prevent the support rod 22 from shaking. Cooperating with the fixing buckle 21 can keep the support rod 22 in better stability in the front engine compartment structure.

[0037] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first mounting hole 131 is formed in the first plane 13, and a second mounting hole 141 is formed in the second plane 14; a third mounting hole 212 is formed in the first buckle portion 211, and a fourth mounting hole 214 is formed in the second buckle portion 213; the first mounting hole 131 corresponds to the third mounting hole 212, and the second mounting hole 141 corresponds to the fourth mounting hole 214. The first mounting hole 131, the second mounting hole 141, the third mounting hole 212, and the fourth mounting hole 214 are all circular holes. A first locking member is disposed in the first mounting hole 131 and the third mounting hole 212, and a second locking member is disposed in the second mounting hole 141 and the fourth mounting hole 214. The first locking member and the second locking member include nuts, rivets, welding studs, etc. After the fixing buckle 21 is mounted on the first plane 13 and the second plane 14 of the support column 12, the first mounting hole 131 and the third mounting hole 212, and the second mounting hole 141 and the fourth mounting hole 214 are aligned, and then the first locking member and the second locking member are inserted into the corresponding mounting holes, so as to fixedly mount the fixing buckle 21 on the support column 12.

[0038] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 4 As shown, the fixing buckle 21 further includes a rotating portion 215. The rotating portion 215 is disposed at the connection of the first plane 13 and the second plane 14, and the rotating portion 215 faces away from the support column 12. One end of the support rod 22 is movably connected to the rotating portion 215. The rotating portion 215, the first buckle portion 211, and the second buckle portion 213 are an integral structure. In order for the rotating portion 215 to rotate well, it is disposed on the side facing away from the support column 12. Specifically, the rotating portion 215 is provided with a rotating hole 216. The support rod 22 includes a rotating connection portion 221 and a support portion 222. The rotating connection portion 221 is inserted into the rotating hole 216, and the support portion 222 extends along a direction perpendicular to the rotating connection portion 221. Thus, the rotating connection portion 221 and the support portion 222 extend in a perpendicular direction, and the rotating support portion 222 can rotate along the rotating hole 216, so as to play a role in receiving and supporting the engine hood 40 in the front engine compartment structure.

[0039] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 5 As shown, the front engine compartment structure further includes a cross beam 30. The cross beam 30 is disposed at the bottom of the cavity 11 along the second direction X2. An extender or a front storage box is disposed in the cavity 11. The extender or the front storage box is located on the cross beam 30, and the cross beam 30 can support the extender or the front storage box. The cavity 11 in the front engine compartment structure is generally used to dispose an engine, an extender, or a storage box. The cross beam 30 is a steel beam structure. Structures such as mounting connection holes and mounting seats can be disposed on the cross beam 30 for connecting structures such as an extender and a storage box. The cross beam 30 can make the front engine compartment structure stronger and the structure more stable.

[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 as shown, the front engine compartment structure further includes a housing 60, and the housing 60 is disposed outside the front engine compartment bracket 10. The housing 60 plays a role in protecting and beautifying the front engine compartment mechanism.

[0041] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 as shown, the front engine compartment structure further includes an engine hood 40. The engine hood 40 is provided with a support hole 41, and the strut assembly 20 further includes a support head 224. The support head 224 can be inserted into the support hole 41 to support the engine hood 40. The size and structure of the engine hood 40 are set according to actual requirements. The engine hood 40 is provided with a support hole 41 to cooperate with the support head 224 of the strut assembly 20, so that when the engine hood 40 is opened and closed, the engine hood 40 will not be accidentally closed due to accidentally touching the support rod 22, thus causing personal injury.

[0042] In some embodiments, the front engine compartment structure includes a buffer pad 50. The buffer pad 50 is disposed on the engine hood 40, and the buffer pad 50 is disposed on the side facing the cavity 11 on the engine hood 40. The buffer pad 50 installed on the engine hood 40 can, when the engine hood 40 is closed, contact the lower front engine compartment structure through the buffer pad 50, avoiding direct contact between the two and causing damage to the engine hood 40 and the front engine compartment structure and generating relatively large noise. Therefore, the buffer pad 50 plays a buffering role. The buffer pad 50 can be made of plastic material.

[0043] This application also provides a vehicle, including the front engine compartment structure.
