Front hood assembly and vehicle

By introducing a lifting mechanism and connecting points into the vehicle's hood assembly, the hood can switch between different states, solving the problem of hood protection when colliding with pedestrians. At the same time, it meets the rigidity requirements of different scenarios and avoids the addition of additional structures and maintenance costs.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing vehicle hoods are ineffective at protecting pedestrians in collisions, and existing protective measures increase maintenance costs.

Method used

Design a front hatch assembly, comprising a front hatch body and a lifting mechanism. By allowing the lifting mechanism to contact or separate from the connection point under preset conditions, the front hatch can switch between different states to meet the structural strength requirements of different scenarios.

Benefits of technology

It reduces pedestrian injury in the event of a collision, while increasing the rigidity of the hood when protection is not needed, avoiding dents and increased maintenance costs, and requiring no additional structural supports or hinges.

Abstract

This disclosure relates to a hood assembly and a vehicle. The hood assembly includes a hood body and at least one lifting mechanism. At least one connection point is provided on the bottom surface of the middle portion of the hood body. The lifting mechanism is located below the hood body and corresponds to the connection point. The lifting mechanism is configured to rise and fall under preset conditions to contact or separate from the corresponding connection point. This hood assembly can meet the pedestrian protection requirements in the event of a collision, and also meet the rigidity requirements of the hood body in scenarios where pedestrian protection is not required. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for pop-up fulcrums or hinges, thus minimizing maintenance costs.
