Detailed Implementation
[0018] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, and to facilitate its implementation.
[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a support mechanism for painting an automobile hood includes a support structure 1 connected to a locking structure 2. The support structure 1 is the core part of the entire support mechanism, and its main function is to provide a stable mechanical support so that the entire mechanism can bear the weight of the automobile hood and maintain its positional stability during the painting process. The locking structure 2 can lock the support structure 1 and the automobile hood to prevent relative displacement between the automobile hood and the support structure 1 during the painting process.
[0020] The support structure 1 includes a first support rod 101, one end of which is connected to a first support plate 102. A locking structure 2 is provided on the first support plate 102. The first support rod 101 is used to support the first support plate 102, and can also be used to adjust the opening angle of the car hood.
[0021] The locking structure 2 includes a first plate 201, which is connected to one end of a first support plate 102. A second plate 202 and a third plate 203 are connected to one side of the first plate 201. The second plate 202 is pivotally connected to a locking plate 204. A first limiting plate 205 is provided on one side of the locking plate 204. A locking pin 206 is provided between the locking plate 204 and the third plate 203. One end of the locking pin 206 abuts against the locking plate 204 and the third plate 203, and the other end of the locking pin 206 is connected to the car hood. In use, ensure that the locking plate 204 is in the open state. Then, engage one end of the locking pin 206 between the locking plate 204 and the third plate 203, and connect the other end of the locking pin 206 to the car hood. Next, rotate the locking plate 204 to engage the locking pin 206 between the second plate 202, the third plate 203, the locking plate 204, the third plate 203, and the first limiting plate 205. Connect the other end of the locking plate 206 to the car hood to fix it. The locking plate 204 is eccentrically designed to ensure stability even with torque imbalance.
[0022] One end of the first support rod 101 is connected to a push handle 103. The push handle 103 is convenient for the operator to grip, and by rotating the push handle 103, the first support rod 101 can be rotated, thereby adjusting the opening angle of the car hood.
[0023] The push handle 103 has a square-shaped structure. The square-shaped structure of the push handle 103 makes it easy for the operator to grip.
[0024] A first screw 3 and a second screw 4 are provided between the first support rod 101 and the first support plate 102. The first screw 3 is located on one side of the first support plate 102 and connects to the first support rod 101. The second screw 4 is located at one end of the first support plate 102 and abuts against the first support rod 101. The connection between the first support plate 102 and the first support rod 101 via the first screw 3 allows the first support rod 101 to rotate around the first screw 3, adjusting the angle of the car hood. Clockwise rotation of the second screw 4 decreases the rotation angle of the first support rod 101, while counterclockwise rotation increases the rotation angle.
[0025] The second plate 202 has a first chamfer 5 at its corner. The first chamfer 5 reduces the sharpness of the structure and prevents the operator from being injured by the sharp structure during use.
[0026] The locking pin 206 includes a flat pin 207, with bent pins 208 extending from both ends of the flat pin 207. The flat pin 207 abuts against the locking plate 204 and the third plate 203, while the bent pins 208 connect to the car hood. The flat pin 207 engages in the gap between the locking plate 204 and the third plate 203. The bent plates 208 extending from both ends of the flat pin 207 extend from one side of the first limiting plate 205 and from the gap between the locking plate 204 and the first support plate 102, respectively, to connect with the car hood and thus fix the car hood in place.
[0027] The role and effect of the embodiments
[0028] In use, ensure the locking plate 204 is in the open position. Then, engage one end of the locking pin 206 between the locking plate 204 and the third plate 203, with the other end connected to the car hood. Next, rotate the locking plate 204 to engage the locking pin 206 between the second plate 202, the third plate 203, the locking plate 204, and the first limiting plate 205. The first screw 3 connects one side of the first support plate 102 to the first support rod 101, allowing the first support rod 101 to rotate around the first screw 3, thus adjusting the angle of the car hood. The second screw 4, when rotated clockwise, allows the first support rod 101 to rotate at a smaller angle, and when rotated counterclockwise, allows the first support rod 101 to rotate at a larger angle. A first chamfer 5 is provided at the corner of the second plate 202. The first chamfer 5 reduces sharp edges and prevents injury to the user during use. The locking pin 206 connects to the car hood, allowing for the fixing of hoods for multiple car models. The opening angle of the car hood can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the first support rod 101. Using a rotating locking plate 204 to engage the locking pin 206 reduces operational difficulty and time. The integrated structure prevents component loss and lowers maintenance costs.
