[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0025] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a multi-functional engine cover, which includes an engine cover frame 1 and an openable cover door 5 connected to the engine cover frame 1 by a hinge 6. The outer surfaces of the engine cover frame 1 and the openable cover door 5 are covered with engine cover skin 2, and the inner surfaces are covered with sound insulation pads 9. The engine cover skin 2 located on the side of the engine cover frame 1 is recessed inward to form an engine oil dipstick mounting groove assembly 3. The vehicle's engine oil dipstick passes through the engine cover skin 2 and is fixed in the engine oil dipstick mounting groove assembly 3 for checking the engine oil level. The engine cover skin 2 located at the top of the engine cover frame 1 has a water tank filler neck 7, which is configured to be opened or closed by a filler neck cover 8.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the openable hood door 5 is connected to the hood frame 1 via hinges 6, facilitating engine maintenance and repair. The hood frame 1 has high structural strength and can be used as a step during vehicle maintenance. Both the outer surfaces of the hood frame 1 and the openable hood door 5 are covered with hood skin 2, and the inner surfaces are covered with sound-absorbing pads, which have excellent sound insulation and noise reduction functions. Simultaneously, an engine oil dipstick mounting slot assembly 3 is formed by an inward recess in the hood skin 2 located on the side of the hood frame 1. The vehicle's engine oil dipstick passes through the hood skin 2 and is fixed within the engine oil dipstick mounting slot assembly 3, facilitating daily oil level checks. The concave design of the mounting slot assembly prevents the dipstick tip from being exposed and damaged by impacts. In addition, a water tank inlet 7 is provided on the hood skin 2 located at the top of the hood frame 1 and is designed to be opened or closed through the water inlet cover 8. This facilitates the addition of water to the engine radiator or the checking of the water level, while also preventing burns caused by hot liquid splashes. It is both aesthetically pleasing and safe and reliable in use.

[0027] In this embodiment, to facilitate targeted repair and maintenance of the engineering vehicle, the hood skin 2 is preferably composed of multiple pieces, detachably mounted to the hood frame 1 and the openable hood door 5 using multiple bolts. This method of splicing multiple hood skin pieces 2 avoids the laborious process of disassembling the entire hood skin 2 when repairing or replacing parts for a specific fault, saving maintenance time and effort. Furthermore, if a hood skin 2 is damaged and needs replacement, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire hood skin 2; only the damaged piece needs to be replaced, thus reducing maintenance costs and saving on operating expenses.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the oil dipstick head from being exposed and damaged by bumps while using a concave design in the mounting groove, and to securely fix the engine oil dipstick, so as to facilitate daily checks of the engine oil level by reading, preferably, a through hole is provided in the engine oil dipstick mounting groove assembly 3 for the engine oil dipstick to pass through. A base plate is provided near the through hole, and the base plate is provided with a threaded hole. The engine oil dipstick is designed to pass through the through hole into the engine oil dipstick mounting groove assembly 3 and be clamped by a pipe clamp 4. The pipe clamp 4 is fixed to the base plate by bolts engaging with the threaded hole.

[0029] Furthermore, during engine maintenance and repair, the rotatable hood allows the engine area of ​​the engineering vehicle to be opened, providing sufficient space for maintenance personnel. After maintenance, to ensure the rotatable hood 5 can be locked securely after closing, preventing it from opening and closing arbitrarily and causing inconvenience to use and maintenance, a magnetic locking mechanism is preferably provided on the rotatable hood 5. This mechanism is used to attract and lock the rotatable hood 5 when closed. In this way, when the rotatable hood 5 is closed, its magnetic attraction will firmly hold it together with the engine hood frame 1, ensuring a stable closed state for the rotatable hood 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, to facilitate maintenance personnel using the entire multi-functional cover as a step during maintenance, preventing surface damage or even collapse and thus avoiding accidents and protecting the personal safety of maintenance personnel, preferably, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the hood frame 1 is composed of multiple rectangular steel pipes and C-shaped steel welded together.

[0031] In this embodiment, more preferably, the hood skin 2 is formed by bending 2-3mm cold-rolled steel sheet.

[0032] In this embodiment, more preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the engine oil dipstick mounting slot assembly 3 is composed of a 2-3mm C-shaped bent plate, an L-shaped bent plate, and a base plate welded together.

[0033] By using the aforementioned materials and processing connection methods, the mechanical strength of the multi-functional hood can be greatly improved. Even if it is stepped on or impacted by external forces, it will not easily deform or collapse, thus ensuring the structural integrity and protecting the important components of the engineering vehicle loaded inside.

[0034] In this embodiment, preferably, one end of the filler cap 8 is rotatably connected to the engine hood skin 2 via a rotating shaft, and the other end has a latch that engages with a locking post located on the edge of the water tank filler cap 7. The filler cap 8 is also designed to rotate 360° around the rotating shaft. This allows for routine water filling or level checks of the engine radiator through the filler cap 7. When filling or checking the water level, the filler cap 8 is rotated to a certain angle to partially or fully open the filler cap 7 for easy observation and filling. After filling or checking the water level, the filler cap 8 is screwed back on and locked. This not only prevents residual high-temperature liquid from splashing out and causing injury, but also avoids accidental opening of the filler cap 8 due to vehicle vibration during driving, which could result in scalding from splashing high-temperature liquid.

[0035] In addition, this utility model also provides an engineering vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and the aforementioned multi-functional engine cover detachably mounted on the vehicle body. Engineering vehicles with this multi-functional engine cover are easier and faster to maintain, have a sturdy and beautiful appearance, a long service life, and a high safety factor.
