Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engineering machinery, in particular to a cab with a flippable engine front cover. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the engine front cover of the cab is mounted on the front side of the cab by several bolts to protect the engine, radiator and other components. However, when the above components need to be maintained, the bolts need to be removed one by one, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to address the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a cab with a flippable engine front cover, which is convenient for maintenance of components such as an engine and a radiator.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the cab with a reversible engine front cover of the present invention is:
[0005] A cab with a flippable engine front cover comprises a cab shell, wherein a front face of the cab shell is equipped with several hinged seats, the hinged seats include a first bracket, an upper portion of the first bracket is provided with a rotating shaft, an outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft is provided with a hinge plate, the hinge plate is fixedly connected to the engine front cover, a second bracket corresponding to the first bracket is provided on the lower inner portion of the engine front cover, a gas spring is provided between the first and second brackets, a cylinder of the gas spring is hinged to the lower portion of the first bracket, a telescopic end of the gas spring is hinged to the second bracket, a hood lock is provided on the lower side edge of the engine front cover, and a lock column cooperating with the hood lock is installed on the cab shell.
[0006] Preferably, the second bracket has a plurality of holes for hingedly connecting the telescopic end of the gas spring, and the holes are arranged in a line from top to bottom. Different holes can determine the opening angle of the engine front cover.
[0007] Preferably, support feet for contacting the cab housing are provided on both sides of the bottom of the engine front cover. When the engine front cover is closed, the support feet contact the cab housing to prevent the bottom of the engine front cover from being suspended in the air, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the engine front cover and the cab housing.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the engine front cover is provided with an avoidance recess, which prevents the engine front cover from interfering with the wiper after turning upward.
[0009] Preferably, the engine front cover is provided with an unlocking hole at a position corresponding to the hood lock. A finger is inserted into the unlocking hole to unlock the hood lock.
[0010] Preferably, a lining plate is provided between the inner wall of the engine front cover and the hinge plate, and both ends of the lining plate are longer than both ends of the hinge plate.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0012] When maintenance is required on the engine, radiator and other components, unlock the hood lock, flip up the engine front cover, which is supported by the gas spring; after the maintenance work is completed, directly flip down the engine front cover and fix it with the hood lock, which is very convenient to operate.

[0019] The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, modifications of various equivalent forms of the present invention by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.
[0020] like Figure 1-5As shown, a cab with a flippable engine front cover comprises a cab shell 1, a hinge seat 2 is installed on each side of the left and right sides of the front face of the cab shell, the hinge seat comprises a first bracket 21, a rotating shaft 22 is installed on the upper part of the first bracket, a hinge plate 23 is welded to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft, the hinge plate is fixedly connected to the engine front cover 3, a lining plate 24 is arranged between the inner wall of the engine front cover and the hinge plate, the lining plate can be welded to the hinge plate, or fixed to the engine front cover, the two ends of the lining plate are longer than the two ends of the hinge plate, the lining plate can improve the strength of the hinge plate, and at the same time increase the force-bearing area of the engine front cover, making the installation of the engine front cover more firm and reliable, an avoidance recess 31 is provided on the top of the engine front cover, the avoidance recess is between the two first brackets, the avoidance recess prevents the engine front cover from interfering with the wiper after being flipped upward, a second bracket 32 corresponding to the first bracket is installed on the lower inner side of the engine front cover, and a gas spring 4 is arranged between the first and second brackets. The cylinder of the gas spring is hinged to the lower part of the first bracket, and the telescopic end of the gas spring is hinged to the second bracket. The second bracket has five holes 321 for hingedly connecting the telescopic end of the gas spring, and they are arranged in a line from top to bottom. Different holes can determine the opening angle of the engine front cover. A hood lock 33 is installed in the middle of the lower edge of the engine front cover. The hood lock is a prior art. For its specific structure, please refer to the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN201405937Y and the name "A Tractor Hood Lock". A lock column 11 cooperating with the hood lock is installed in the cab shell. An unlocking hole 34 is provided in the engine front cover corresponding to the position of the hood lock. A finger is inserted into the unlocking hole and the handle is pushed to unlock the hood lock. Support feet 35 for contacting the cab shell are installed on both sides of the bottom of the engine front cover. When the engine front cover is closed, the support feet contact the cab shell to prevent the bottom of the engine front cover from being suspended, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the engine front cover and the cab shell.
[0021] The specific working process and principle of a cab with a reversible engine front cover: When maintenance is required on components such as the engine and radiator, the hood lock is unlocked and the engine front cover is flipped upward, supported by a gas spring. After maintenance is completed, the engine front cover is directly flipped downward and secured with the hood lock. The support legs on both sides contact the cab shell to ensure the stability of the connection between the engine front cover and the cab shell. This utility model facilitates maintenance work on components such as the engine and radiator by hingedly connecting the engine front cover to the front face of the cab shell and supporting it with a gas spring.
