[0028] The skeleton ring 121 matches the vehicle logo and is disposed corresponding to the vehicle logo mounting portion 111 of the outer panel 11 .

[0029] The four oblique frame bars 122 are located outside the frame ring 121 and are arranged in an "X" shape; the inner end of each oblique frame bar 122 is connected to the frame ring 121, thereby ensuring the rigidity of the middle part of the front mask.

[0030] The two upper transverse frame bars 123 are located above the frame ring 121 and the oblique frame 122 and are arranged at intervals.

[0031] Two lower transverse frame bars 124 are located below the frame ring 121 and the diagonal frame 122, and are arranged at intervals.

[0032] Multiple first longitudinal frame bars 125 are arranged at intervals; the first longitudinal frame bars 125 are located between two diagonal frame bars 122, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two diagonal frame bars 122.

[0033] Multiple second longitudinal frame bars 126 are arranged at intervals; the second longitudinal frame bars 126 are located between the diagonal frame bars 122 and the upper transverse frame bar 123 or the lower transverse frame bar 124, and its two ends are respectively connected to the diagonal frame bars 122 and the upper transverse frame bar 123 or the lower transverse frame bar 124. In this embodiment, the first longitudinal frame bars 125 and the second longitudinal frame bars 126 are arranged in a staggered manner one by one, ensuring uniform stress.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the frame ring 121, the diagonal frame bars 122, the upper transverse frame bar 123, the lower transverse frame bar 124, the first longitudinal frame bars 125 and the second longitudinal frame bars 126 are all "channel" shaped.

[0040] The commercial vehicle front hood structure and vehicle involved in this embodiment have outer and inner panels arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside and matching each other, wherein the outer and inner panels are bonded together by an adhesive layer. The outer panel is a mineral-filled modified polypropylene panel, and the inner panel is a hollow glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composite skeleton panel. Under the premise of ensuring overall strength, the overall weight can be greatly reduced to meet the lightweight requirements. Moreover, the surface of the outer panel made of mineral-filled modified polypropylene is smooth and easy to paint.

[0041] In addition, because the inner panel has a frame ring that matches the car logo, and four oblique frame bars located outside the frame ring, the four oblique frame bars are arranged in an "X" shape, and the inner end of each oblique frame bar is connected to the frame ring, the rigidity of the middle part of the front mask is ensured.

[0043] Furthermore, because the first longitudinal frame bars and the second longitudinal frame bars are arranged in a staggered manner, uniform force is ensured.

[0044] In addition, because the cross-sections of the frame ring, oblique frame bar, upper horizontal frame bar, lower horizontal frame bar, first longitudinal frame bar and second longitudinal frame bar are all in the shape of a "J", the bonding area between the inner panel and the outer panel is increased, ensuring the connection strength between the two and the overall rigidity of the front mask.

[0045] In addition, because there are two upper transverse frame bars and two lower transverse frame bars, the two upper transverse frame bars and the two lower transverse frame bars are arranged at intervals, which further ensures the rigidity of the upper and lower parts of the front mask.

[0046] In addition, because the inner panel also has multiple hinge mounting parts, the hinge mounting parts are provided with multiple reinforcing ribs located on the inner side of the inner panel and arranged in a "M" shape, which helps to eliminate the stress concentration problem here.

[0047] In addition, because the inner plate also has a lock tongue mounting portion, the lock tongue mounting portion is provided with multiple reinforcing ribs located on the inner side of the inner plate and arranged in a "M" shape, and a reinforcing plate is provided between the lock tongue mounting portion and the outer plate, which is conducive to eliminating the stress concentration problem here.
