Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pickup truck hood technology, specifically to a pickup truck hood latch. Background Technology
[0002] Pickup trucks are characterized by sedan-like comfort, powerful performance, and superior cargo-carrying capacity and off-road capability compared to sedans. With the growth and expansion of the private sector in China's urban and rural areas, and the rapid development of the logistics industry in small and medium-sized cities, the demand for pickup trucks is increasing as a replacement for agricultural vehicles, minibuses, and mini-trucks. The "suitable for both passengers and cargo" pickup truck is gaining increasing acceptance in second- and third-tier cities and relatively affluent rural areas.
[0003] Currently, when pickup truck hoods are closed, they generate significant air turbulence and resistance, especially at high speeds. Existing pickup truck hoods lack the ability to lock the hood to the truck bed, resulting in increased noise and a lack of safety during driving. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pickup truck hood latch to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pickup truck hood latch, comprising a latch assembly, the latch assembly comprising a latch tongue, a first handle portion and a second handle portion, the latch tongue being disposed at a first end of the first handle portion, the second handle portion being disposed at a second end of the first handle portion, and an adjusting member being disposed between the latch tongue and the first handle portion.
[0006] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a first groove and a first block. The first groove is disposed at the first end of the first handle portion, and the first block is disposed at the second end of the locking tongue. The first block is slidably connected to the first groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the top of the first handle portion is provided with a first waist-shaped groove, and the top of the first block is provided with a first hole. The first block and the first handle portion are tunably connected through the first waist-shaped groove and the first hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjusting member includes a second groove, which is disposed at the second end of the locking tongue, and the first end of the first handle portion is slidably connected to the second groove.
[0009] Furthermore, a second hole is provided at the top of the first handle part, and a second waist-shaped groove is provided at the top of the first block. The first block and the first handle part are tunably connected through the second waist-shaped groove and the second hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a third groove, which is disposed at the second end of the locking tongue and is slidably connected to the first handle portion. The third groove is provided with a second block, and the first handle portion is provided with a fourth groove, which is slidably connected to the second block.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the first handle is provided with a third waist-shaped groove, and the top of the second block is provided with a third hole. The second block and the first handle are tunably connected through the third waist-shaped groove and the third hole.
[0012] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are: by locking the pickup truck bed cover panel to the pickup truck bed through the latching assembly, the connection strength between the pickup truck bed cover panel and the pickup truck bed is improved during the pickup truck's operation, the vibration amplitude of the pickup truck bed cover panel during operation is reduced, and the noise generated by the vibration of the pickup truck bed cover panel is reduced.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0019] Example 1, such as Figure 1As shown, a pickup truck hood latch is provided, including a latch assembly 10. The latch assembly 10 includes a latch tongue 101, a first handle portion 102, and a second handle portion 103. The latch tongue 101 is disposed at the first end of the first handle portion 102, and the second handle portion 103 is disposed at the second end of the first handle portion 102. An adjusting member 20 is provided between the latch tongue 101 and the first handle portion 102. The latch assembly 10 locks the pickup truck hood panel to the pickup truck bed, thereby increasing the connection strength between the pickup truck hood panel and the pickup truck bed during driving, reducing the vibration amplitude of the pickup truck hood panel during driving, and reducing the noise generated by the vibration of the pickup truck hood panel.
[0020] like Figure 2 The figure shows an embodiment 1 of the adjusting member 20, wherein the adjusting member 20 includes a first groove 201 and a first block 202.
