DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present application will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the high-precision, easy-to-install engine hood includes a hood body 2 fixed by a pair of hinges 1. Specifically, the hinge 1 includes an upper connecting bar 11, a lower connecting bar 12, and a connecting rod 13. The connecting rod 13 is used to connect the upper connecting bar 11 and the lower connecting bar 12. One end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the upper connecting bar 11, and the other end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the lower connecting bar 12 by a pivot 15. The lower connecting bar 12 can be connected to the engine compartment by a second bolt 14. At the same time, a pair of mounting bars 3 are provided on the inner wall of the hood body 2. The mounting bars 3 are connected to the upper connecting bar 11 by a first bolt 32. In this way, under the connection of the hinge 1, the hood body 2 can be reliably connected to the engine compartment and can rotate around the hinge 1. That is to say, during the opening and closing of the hood body 2, the connecting rod 13 can rotate, thereby allowing the upper connecting bar 11 to rotate and move, thus ensuring that the hood body 2 can open and close smoothly.

[0022] A slot 31 is provided at the bottom of the mounting strip 3. The top of the mounting strip 3 fits against the machine cover body 2. The opening of the slot 31 is connected to the bottom of the mounting strip 3, and one end of the slot 31 is connected to the lower end of the mounting strip 3. The other end of the slot 31 is close to the upper end of the mounting strip 3. That is, the slot 31 is connected to both sides of the mounting strip 3. A slider 4 is fixedly provided at the top of the upper connecting strip 11. When installing the machine cover body 2, one end of the slot 31 can be aligned with the slider 4. Then, the machine cover body 2 can be moved so that the slider 4 can slide into the slot 31 from one end. Since the other end of the slot 31 is not connected to the side of the mounting strip 3, the slider 4 will be stopped after sliding in the slot 31 for a period of time. That is, the slider 4 can slide into the slot 31 from one end and stop after contacting the other end of the slot 31.

[0023] Further, the radial section of the card slot 31 is in the shape of an inverted convex character with the upper part larger and the lower part smaller, and the outer wall of the sliding block 4 is in close contact with the inner wall of the card slot 31, so that when the sliding block 4 is inserted into the card slot 31, the sliding block 4 cannot fall off from the slot of the card slot 31. When the hood body 2 is installed, the hinge 1 is in an open state, i.e., the upper connecting strip 11 is in an upwardly inclined state, at this time, the hood body 2 is in the same inclined state and is close to the upper connecting strip 11 downwardly, and the sliding block 4 is aligned with one end of the card slot 31, so that the sliding block 4 can be inserted into the card slot 31, and when the sliding block 4 is slid into place, the hood body 2 is in a preliminary fixed state, without manually maintaining the stable state of the hood body 2, the first bolt 32 can be used to lock the upper connecting strip 11 and the mounting strip 3, so as to completely fix the hood body 2. Further, the close contact between the sliding block 4 and the card slot 31 effectively improves the installation accuracy of the hood body 2, without fine adjustment of the position of the hood body 2, thereby significantly improving the installation speed.

[0024] One end of the card slot 31 is provided with a first guide surface 310 which expands outwardly, and the sliding block 4 is provided with a second guide surface 41 which shrinks inwardly towards one end of the card slot 31. When the sliding block 4 is inserted into the card slot 31, the first guide surface 310 and the second guide surface 41 cooperate with each other, so that the difficulty of the abutment between the sliding block 4 and the card slot 31 is reduced, and it is ensured that the sliding block 4 can be quickly inserted into the card slot 31, thereby further improving the installation efficiency. Further, the first bolt 32 is in a separated state from the sliding block 4 when locked, so that it is ensured that the first bolt 32 can reliably complete the locking of the upper connecting strip 11 and the mounting strip 3 when the sliding block 4 is slid into place.

[0025] The side wall of the mounting strip 3 is provided with a waist hole 33, and the end of the sliding block 4 away from the second guide surface 41 is provided with a fin 42, and the fin 42 is provided with a threaded hole 421. When the sliding block 4 is stopped, the threaded hole 421 is aligned with the waist hole 33, and a third bolt 422 is threadedly and fittingly arranged in the waist hole 33 and the threaded hole 421. The width of the waist hole 33 is not less than the outer diameter of the third bolt 422, and the third bolt 422 is connected with the threaded hole 421 through threads. After the cooperation between the sliding block 4 and the card slot 31 realizes the preliminary fixation of the hood body 2, the third bolt 422 can be inserted into the waist hole 33 and the threaded hole 421, so that under the locking action of the third bolt 422, the sliding block 4 and the mounting strip 3 can be reliably locked, thereby greatly improving the stability of the preliminary fixation of the hood body 2.

[0026] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any non-essential changes and replacements made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
