Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine hood technology, and in particular to an engine hood assembly and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, the bottom of the hood assembly is equipped with multiple support members to support the hood. However, in existing technologies, there are no support members on the rear side of the hood, resulting in insufficient dent resistance of the hood structure. This leads to relatively poor performance during subsequent inspection and use of the hood, and ultimately affects the quality of the vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one objective of this utility model is to provide an engine hood assembly, wherein the engine hood assembly is provided with a reinforcing plate, and since the reinforcing plate is provided with multiple support legs that are connected to the engine hood, the structural design of the engine hood is made more reliable, and the structural arrangement of the engine hood assembly has higher dent resistance, thereby eliminating potential safety hazards to the vehicle.
[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle having an engine hood assembly as shown above.
[0005] An engine hood assembly according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an engine hood, support members, and a reinforcing plate. There are multiple support members, and the multiple support members are spaced apart on the inner side of the engine hood. The reinforcing plate is disposed between two of the support members, and multiple support legs are spaced apart on the reinforcing plate. Each support leg is fixedly connected to the engine hood.
[0006] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the hood assembly has a reinforcing plate between two support members. Since the reinforcing plate has multiple support legs, the support legs are connected and fixed to the hood. This makes the reinforcing plate suitable for improving the construction reliability of the hood, giving the hood assembly a higher anti-dent performance, eliminating potential safety hazards of the vehicle, and improving vehicle quality.
[0007] In some embodiments, adjacent support legs extend in different directions; and / or at least two support legs are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the reinforcing plate. Thus, multiple support legs are provided on the reinforcing plate, each extending in a different direction, allowing adjacent support legs to form a triangular structure with the hood to improve connection stability and enhance the structural reliability of the hood assembly. Similarly, to simplify the structural design process of the reinforcing plate, it is suitable to symmetrically arrange two support legs relative to the centerline of the reinforcing plate. This simplifies the design of the reinforcing plate and facilitates its production, improving production efficiency and reducing the vehicle development cycle.
[0008] In some embodiments, each support leg includes: a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a third connecting portion. The first connecting portion is connected to the reinforcing plate. The second connecting portion is obliquely disposed, with one end connected to the free end of the first connecting portion. The other end of the second connecting portion is connected to the third connecting portion. The orthographic projections of the first connecting portion, the second connecting portion, and the third connecting portion are in the same direction, and the third connecting portion is fixedly connected to the hood. Thus, by sequentially connecting the first connecting portion, the second connecting portion, and the third connecting portion to form the support leg, the support leg is adapted to be positioned on the outside of the reinforcing plate so that the third connecting portion can be connected and fixed to the hood, making the structural construction of the hood assembly more reliable.
[0009] In some embodiments, the third connecting portion is riveted to the hood; or the third connecting portion is bolted to the hood. Thus, riveting or bolting can be used for connection. These connection methods ensure high connection reliability while simplifying the connection process, allowing the hood assembly to have high structural reliability while also having a relatively simple assembly process to improve production efficiency.
[0010] In some embodiments, an angle A is provided between the extending directions of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, wherein the angle A satisfies the relationship: 9° ≤ A ≤ °. This obtuse angle between the extending directions of the first and second connecting portions facilitates demolding of the support legs and reinforcing plates, simplifies the production process, and improves production efficiency.
[0011] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate is further provided with weight-reducing grooves, which are multiple grooves spaced apart, and each groove corresponds to a supporting leg. In this way, the reinforcing plate is also adapted to have weight-reducing grooves, which helps save production materials and reduce production costs. Simultaneously, the weight-reducing grooves are adapted to be positioned opposite the supporting legs, allowing the supporting legs to be built into the grooves, thereby making the reinforcing plate structure more reliable, improving its performance to meet usage requirements, and giving the hood assembly with the reinforcing plate higher structural rigidity, thus enhancing the structural strength and performance of the hood assembly.
[0012] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate is further provided with anti-rebound ribs, wherein there are multiple anti-rebound ribs, and the anti-rebound ribs are located on the outer side of the weight-reducing groove. Thus, the anti-rebound ribs on the reinforcing plate are adapted to correspondingly enhance the structural strength of the reinforcing plate, allowing the reinforcing plate to more reliably improve the structural reliability of the hood when mounted on the reinforcing plate. Furthermore, the anti-rebound ribs are also adapted to be positioned opposite to the support legs, so that the anti-rebound ribs are adapted to correspondingly enhance the reliability of the support legs' arrangement on the reinforcing plate, thereby improving the structural stability of the hood assembly.
[0013] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate further includes an adsorption section, which is symmetrically arranged at both ends along the length of the reinforcing plate and spaced apart from the weight-reducing groove. Thus, adsorption sections 4 are appropriately provided on both sides of the reinforcing plate, allowing the reinforcing plate to be adsorbed during transportation, facilitating transport and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the adsorption sections 4 are positioned on both sides to restrict the transport of the reinforcing plate from both sides, ensuring it is transported according to process requirements, thus facilitating the transport and production of the reinforcing plate.
[0014] In some embodiments, the hood and the reinforcing plate are manufactured as an integral nested unit. This integral nesting production method facilitates the construction of the reinforcing plate, improves production efficiency, and allows the use of leftover materials from the hood production process to reduce production costs.
[0015] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the hood assembly as described above.
[0016] According to the vehicle embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing plate is provided between two support members. Since the reinforcing plate has multiple support legs, these legs are connected and fixed to the hood. This allows the reinforcing plate to improve the structural reliability of the hood, giving the hood assembly higher dent resistance, eliminating potential safety hazards, and improving vehicle quality. Furthermore, since the reinforcing plate can be molded integrally with the hood, the production cost of the vehicle described in this application is reduced.
[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.
[0028] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 The hood assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a hood 100, a support member 200, and a reinforcing plate 300.
[0029] Specifically, there are multiple support members 200, and the multiple support members 200 are spaced apart on the inner side of the hood 100; the reinforcing plate 300 is located between two support members 200, and multiple support legs 310 are spaced apart on the reinforcing plate 300, each support leg 310 being fixedly connected to the hood 100.
[0030] It should be noted that during the construction of the hood assembly 10, it is suitable to include the hood 100, support members 200 and reinforcing plate 300. During the assembly process, multiple support members 200 are constructed at the bottom of the hood 100. The support members 200 provide support to support the hood 100 on the support members 200 to improve stability.
[0031] Therefore, the original 100-type hood structure had insufficient dent resistance, which could not meet the usage requirements and posed a safety hazard that could affect the quality of the vehicle.
[0032] Specifically, the hood assembly 10 of this application is suitable to include a hood 100, a support member 200, and a reinforcing plate 300. While the support member 200 is used to support the hood 100, a reinforcing plate 300 is also provided. Multiple support legs 310 are constructed on the reinforcing plate 300, and each support leg 310 is fixed to the hood 100 to make the construction of the hood 100 more reliable, thereby improving the structural reliability of the hood 100 arrangement, so that the hood assembly 10 has higher dent resistance, thereby eliminating vehicle safety hazards and improving vehicle quality.
[0033] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the hood assembly 10 has a reinforcing plate 300 between two support members 200. Since the reinforcing plate 300 has multiple support legs 310, the support legs 310 are connected and fixed to the hood 100. This makes the reinforcing plate 300 suitable for improving the construction reliability of the hood 100, so that the arrangement of the hood assembly 10 has higher dent resistance, thereby eliminating potential safety hazards of the vehicle and improving the quality of the vehicle.
[0034] In some embodiments, adjacent support legs 310 extend in different directions; and / or at least two support legs 310 are symmetrically arranged relative to the centerline of the reinforcing plate 300. It is understood that multiple support legs 310 are provided on the reinforcing plate 300, with each support leg 310 extending in a different direction, so that adjacent support legs 310 can form a triangular structure with the hood 100 to improve connection stability and enhance the structural reliability of the hood assembly 10. Similarly, to simplify the structural design process of the reinforcing plate 300, it is suitable to symmetrically arrange two support legs 310 relative to the centerline of the reinforcing plate 300. This simplifies the design of the reinforcing plate and facilitates its production, improving production efficiency and reducing the vehicle development cycle.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, it is suitable to provide a plurality of support legs 310 on the reinforcing plate 300. The plurality of support legs 310 are arranged sequentially along the length direction as follows: facing the rear, facing the center, facing the front, facing the rear, facing the front, facing the center, and facing the rear. Moreover, the plurality of support legs 310 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the centerline of the reinforcing plate 300, so as to simplify the connection process between the support legs 310 and the hood 100.
[0036] Specifically, in some specific embodiments, it is suitable to arrange two of the multiple support legs 310 opposite to each other so that the structure of the reinforcing plate 300 is suitable for symmetrical construction during design. This not only simplifies the design process but also facilitates the production of the reinforcing plate 300, making the construction of the reinforcing plate 300 simpler, giving the reinforcing plate 300 higher structural strength to support the hood 100, and improving the performance of the hood assembly 10.
[0037] In some embodiments, each support leg 310 includes a first connecting portion 311, a second connecting portion 312, and a third connecting portion 313. The first connecting portion 311 is connected to the reinforcing plate 300. The second connecting portion 312 is inclined and one end of the second connecting portion 312 is connected to the free end of the first connecting portion 311. The other end of the second connecting portion 312 is connected to the third connecting portion 313. The orthographic projections of the first connecting portion 311, the second connecting portion 312, and the third connecting portion 313 are in the same direction, and the third connecting portion 313 is fixedly connected to the hood 100.
[0038] Understandably, the construction of the support leg 310 includes a first connecting portion 311, a second connecting portion 312, and a third connecting portion 313 in sequence. The first connecting portion 311 is connected to the reinforcing plate 300, while the second connecting portion 312 is connected between the first connecting portion 311 and the third connecting portion 313. The third connecting portion 313 is adapted to connect with the hood 100. Since the first connecting portion 311 and the third connecting portion 313 are connected to both sides of the second connecting portion 312, the third connecting portion 313 is adapted to extend along the extension direction, facilitating the connection between the support leg 310 and the hood 100 to achieve assembly between the hood 100 and the reinforcing plate 300. Thus, by using the first connecting portion 311, the second connecting portion 312, and the third connecting portion 313 to sequentially connect and form the support leg 310, the support leg 310 is adapted to be positioned on the outside of the reinforcing plate 300 so that the third connecting portion 313 can be connected and fixed to the hood 100, making the structural construction of the hood assembly 10 more reliable.
[0039] In some embodiments, the third connecting portion 313 is riveted to the hood 100; or the third connecting portion 313 is bolted to the hood 100. That is, the process of connecting the reinforcing plate 300 to the hood 100 is suitable for a fixed connection. In some specific embodiments, riveting or bolting can be used. The above connection methods can ensure high connection reliability while the connection process is relatively simple, so that the hood assembly 10 has high structural reliability and a relatively simple assembly process to improve production efficiency.
[0040] In some embodiments, an angle A is provided between the extending direction of the first connecting portion 311 and the extending direction of the second connecting portion 312, and the angle A satisfies the relationship: 90°≤A≤110°. It is understood that constructing the extending directions of the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 312 into an obtuse angle facilitates the demolding of the support leg 310 and the reinforcing plate 300, simplifies the production process, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the angle cannot be set too large, otherwise it will affect the connection between the support leg 310 and the hood 100, preventing the reinforcing plate 300 from effectively improving the structural strength of the hood assembly 10. Therefore, the angle between the extending directions of the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 312 can be set to 100° to ensure smoother demolding of the reinforcing plate 300 during production, and to allow the reinforcing plate 300 to be connected to the well-designed hood 100, thereby improving the structural performance of the hood assembly 10.
[0041] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 300 is further provided with weight-reducing grooves 320, which are multiple grooves spaced apart, and each groove 320 is provided with a corresponding support leg 310. Thus, the reinforcing plate 300 is also adapted to have weight-reducing grooves 320, which helps save production materials and reduce production costs. Simultaneously, the weight-reducing grooves 320 are adapted to be oppositely positioned to the support legs 310, allowing the support legs 310 to be constructed within the grooves, thereby making the structure of the reinforcing plate 300 more reliable, improving its performance, and giving the hood assembly 10 with the reinforcing plate 300 higher structural rigidity, thereby enhancing the structural strength and performance of the hood assembly 10.
[0042] In some specific embodiments, the length dimension of the weight-reducing groove 320 is preferably larger than the length dimension of the support leg 310 in the extending direction. On the one hand, having the length dimension of the weight-reducing groove 320 larger than the length dimension of the support leg 310 in the extending direction facilitates the placement of the support leg 310 within the weight-reducing groove 320, simplifying the design process. On the other hand, it also facilitates the construction and production of the support leg 310; that is, the support leg 310 can utilize the material saved by the weight-reducing groove 320, making its construction simpler and improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, constructing the support leg 310 within the weight-reducing groove 320 in the aforementioned manner makes its placement within the groove more reliable, resulting in higher structural strength to meet support requirements. This also makes the assembly connection between the support leg 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 more reliable, giving the hood assembly 10 a higher structural performance to meet usage requirements.
[0043] Furthermore, the extension length of the weight-reducing groove 320 is A, and the overall length of the support leg 310 is B. The length A is set greater than the length B, allowing the support leg 310 to be arranged in the weight-reducing groove as designed, simplifying the production process and improving production efficiency. Moreover, in some more specific embodiments, the extension length A of the weight-reducing groove 320 is also suitable to be greater than the normal length B + 8mm of the support leg 310. This allows for a better structural arrangement of the support leg 310 within the weight-reducing groove 320, facilitating production and construction. It also allows the support leg 310 to be arranged as designed, resulting in higher structural strength. This, in turn, allows the reinforcing plate 300 to be connected to the hood as designed, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the hood 100 and giving the hood assembly 10 higher performance to meet usage requirements.
[0044] In addition, by providing multiple weight-reducing grooves 320 on the reinforcing plate 300, the weight-reducing grooves 320 can facilitate the demolding of the reinforcing plate 300, making the structural production efficiency of the reinforcing plate 320 more convenient, and also ensuring the strength of the trimming blade block.
[0045] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 300 is further provided with anti-rebound ribs 330, and there are multiple anti-rebound ribs 330, which are located on the outer side of the weight reduction groove 320. It is understood that the anti-rebound ribs 330 on the reinforcing plate 300 are adapted to correspondingly enhance the structural strength of the reinforcing plate 300, so that the reinforcing plate 300 can more reliably improve the structural reliability of the hood 100 when it is mounted on the reinforcing plate 300. Furthermore, the anti-rebound ribs 330 are also adapted to be arranged opposite to the support leg 310, so that the anti-rebound ribs 330 are adapted to correspondingly enhance the reliability of the support leg 310 when it is mounted on the reinforcing plate 300, thereby improving the structural stability of the hood assembly 10. Furthermore, it is suitable to construct with anti-rebound ribs 330 so that the anti-rebound ribs 330 are suitable to provide sufficient rebound performance to meet the construction requirements of the support leg 310, so that the reinforcing plate 300 has higher performance to connect with the hood 100, thereby improving the dent resistance of the hood assembly 10.
[0046] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 300 further includes an adsorption section 340, which is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the reinforcing plate 300 along its length, and is spaced apart from the weight-reducing groove 320. It is understood that adsorption sections 340 are also suitablely provided on both sides of the reinforcing plate 300, so that the reinforcing plate 300 can be adsorbed by the adsorption sections 340 during transportation, facilitating transport and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the adsorption sections 340 are correspondingly arranged on both sides to restrict the transport of the reinforcing plate 300 from both sides during transportation, allowing the reinforcing plate 300 to be transported according to process requirements, thus facilitating the transportation and production of the reinforcing plate 300.
[0047] In some specific embodiments, it is also suitable to make the extension width of the adsorption part 340 greater than 40mm, so as to facilitate the adsorption treatment of the adsorption part 340 in subsequent processes, so that the adsorption part 340 can be transported according to the design, making the transportation process of the reinforcing plate 300 simpler and more convenient, so as to facilitate the subsequent vehicle production.
[0048] In some embodiments, the hood 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 are integrally nested during production. It is understood that this integral nesting production facilitates the construction of the reinforcing plate 300, improves production efficiency, and allows the construction of the reinforcing plate 300 to utilize leftover materials from the production of the hood 100, thereby reducing production costs. Furthermore, by aligning the boundary line of the reinforcing plate 300 with the boundary line of the inner panel of the hood 100, both being concave arc shapes, the integral production of the hood 100 and the reinforcing plate 300 is achieved, further reducing production costs. Moreover, the distance between the boundary of the weight-reducing groove 320 and the trimming boundary can be at least 25mm, ensuring the strength of the mold insert when trimming and punching are performed simultaneously.
[0049] Furthermore, during the construction of the hood assembly 10, it is suitable to use the same material as the reinforcing plate 300 for production as the hood 100. This facilitates production and improves the structural performance of the hood assembly 10, thereby enhancing its usability. Moreover, it also allows the hood assembly 10 to correspondingly improve the vehicle's rigidity and dent resistance. Simultaneously, this approach maximizes the fulfillment of the vehicle's overall styling requirements.
[0050] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the hood assembly 10 as described above. It should be noted that during the construction of the hood assembly 10, it is suitable to include a hood 100, support members 200 and reinforcing plates 300. During the assembly process, a plurality of support members 200 are constructed at the bottom of the hood 100. The support members 200 provide a supporting function to support the hood 100 on the support members 200 to improve stability.
[0051] Specifically, the hood assembly 10 of this application is suitable to include a hood 100, a support member 200, and a reinforcing plate 300. While the support member 200 is used to support the hood 100, a reinforcing plate 300 is also provided. Multiple support legs 310 are constructed on the reinforcing plate 300, and each support leg 310 is fixed to the hood 100 to make the construction of the hood 100 more reliable, thereby improving the structural reliability of the hood 100 arrangement, so that the hood assembly 10 has higher dent resistance, thereby eliminating vehicle safety hazards and improving vehicle quality.
[0052] Thus, by providing a reinforcing plate 300 between the two support members 200, and by having multiple support legs 310 on the reinforcing plate 300 for connection and fixation to the hood 100, the reinforcing plate 300 is suitable for improving the structural reliability of the hood 100, giving the hood assembly 10 higher dent resistance, eliminating potential safety hazards, and improving vehicle quality. Furthermore, since the reinforcing plate 300 can be integrally molded with the hood 100, the production cost of the vehicle described in this application is reduced.
