To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An automotive engine compartment front hood trim assembly includes: a hood, a trim unit disposed above the hood, and an auxiliary unit disposed below the trim unit.
[0006] Preferably, the decorative unit includes: a T-shaped groove, the T-shaped groove being formed above the cover plate, a groove plate being provided inside the T-shaped groove, a transparent plate being fixed to the top of the groove plate, and a luminescent liquid being provided inside the groove plate.
[0007] Preferably, a sleeve plate is fixedly fitted to the outer wall of the transparent plate, and a sealing strip is fixedly connected to the lower part of the sleeve plate. The sealing strip abuts against the cover plate, and multiple bolts are inserted above the sleeve plate. The bolts pass through the sleeve plate and the sealing strip in sequence and are threadedly connected to the cover plate.
[0008] Preferably, a pair of T-shaped holes are provided on the upper part of the transparent plate, the inner wall of the T-shaped holes is threaded with a plug, the outer wall of the plug is fixedly sleeved with a collar, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected below the collar, the sealing ring abutting against the transparent plate.
[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary unit includes: a first heat-conducting plate, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the groove plate; a plurality of heat-conducting blocks are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first heat-conducting plate; the heat-conducting blocks are fixedly connected to the groove plate; and a second heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat-conducting blocks.
[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the first heat-conducting plate is engraved with a pattern.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] (1) This utility model achieves installation and decoration functions through the cooperation between the cover plate and the decorative unit. First, an appropriate amount of luminescent liquid is injected into the groove plate through the T-hole. Then, the plug is threaded to the T-hole, and the sealing ring on the lower surface of the collar is tightly pressed against the transparent plate. Next, the groove plate is embedded into the T-groove. Bolts are used to pass through the cover plate and the sealing strip in sequence and are threaded to the cover plate, so that the sealing strip is in a compressed and taut state. Thus, the installation work between the decorative unit and the cover plate is completed. Outsiders can see the light emitted by the luminescent liquid inside the groove plate through the transparent plate, which has a certain decorative effect. As the car runs, the heat generated by the engine will be transferred to the luminescent liquid inside the groove plate. The luminescent liquid will change color with the temperature to meet the decoration needs of personalized car owners and facilitate its promotion and use.
[0013] (2) This utility model improves the color-changing sensitivity of the luminescent liquid by cooperating with the cover plate, decorative unit and auxiliary unit. During the process of the car engine generating heat and transferring it to the luminescent liquid inside the tank plate, the second heat-conducting plate is close to the car engine and will directly contact the heat generated by the car engine. Since the second heat-conducting plate, heat-conducting block and the first heat-conducting plate all have excellent heat conduction effect, and the first heat-conducting plate is in direct contact with the luminescent liquid, the luminescent liquid can come into contact with the heat more quickly, thereby improving the color-changing sensitivity of the luminescent liquid.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.
[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a decorative component assembly for a front hood panel of an automotive engine compartment, comprising: a hood panel 1, which is meticulously crafted from high-strength, high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy. This aluminum alloy undergoes a special alloying treatment, incorporating various reinforcing elements to give it excellent mechanical properties, enabling it to withstand various external impacts in the complex environment of the automotive engine compartment. Simultaneously, it possesses good high-temperature resistance, maintaining structural stability and integrity even under the high temperatures generated by prolonged engine operation, and is not prone to deformation or damage. A decorative unit is provided above the hood panel 1, and an auxiliary unit is provided below the decorative unit.
[0021] Example 2: The decorative unit includes a T-shaped groove 2, which is located above the cover plate 1. The width and depth of the groove are precisely calculated and designed. The groove width is moderate, ensuring that the groove plate 3 can be smoothly inserted while providing sufficient friction to prevent the groove plate 3 from shaking or falling off during use. The groove depth is determined according to the size of the groove plate 3 and the installation requirements to ensure that the groove plate 3 can fit tightly with the cover plate 1 after insertion, forming a stable whole. The groove plate 3 is located inside the T-shaped groove 2, and a transparent plate 4 is fixed to the top of the groove plate 3. The transparent plate 4 is made of high light transmittance polycarbonate material. Polycarbonate has excellent optical properties and high light transmittance. This allows the light emitted by the luminescent liquid 5 to be displayed more clearly and brightly. At the same time, it also has good UV resistance, allowing it to be exposed to sunlight for a long time without yellowing or aging, ensuring the aesthetics and service life of the decorative parts. The interior of the tank plate 3 contains the luminescent liquid 5, which is a special chemical mixture containing a variety of fluorescent substances and temperature-sensitive agents. The fluorescent substances can emit light of a specific color after absorbing energy from the luminescent liquid 5 itself or other light sources, while the temperature-sensitive agents can change the luminescent properties of the fluorescent substances according to temperature changes, thus making the luminescent liquid 5 present different color changes and adding a unique decorative effect to the car engine compartment.
[0022] Example 3: A sleeve plate 6 is fixedly fitted to the outer wall of the transparent plate 4. The sleeve plate 6 is made of metal and its surface is finely chrome-plated. The chrome plating not only gives the sleeve plate 6 a bright appearance and a metallic luster, enhancing the grade and aesthetics of the entire decorative part, but also enhances the corrosion resistance of the sleeve plate 6, enabling it to resist the erosion of harsh environments such as moisture and oil stains in the car engine compartment, thus extending its service life. A sealing strip 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve plate 6. The sealing strip 7 is made of silicone rubber. Silicone rubber has excellent elasticity and sealing performance. It can elastically deform under pressure, tightly filling the gap between the sleeve plate 6 and the cover plate 1, effectively preventing moisture, dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the tank plate 3, protecting the luminescent liquid 5 from contamination and damage. The sealing strip 7 abuts against the cover plate 1, forming a reliable sealing structure through tight contact, ensuring... The interior of the decorative component is cleaned and dried. Multiple bolts 8 are inserted above the sleeve plate 6. The bolts 8 are made of stainless steel, which has high strength and good corrosion resistance. The stainless steel material ensures that the bolts 8 will not rust or corrode during long-term use in the car engine compartment, ensuring the firmness and reliability of the connection. The bolts 8 pass through the sleeve plate 6 and the sealing strip 7 in sequence and are threaded to the cover plate 1. By tightening the bolts 8, the sleeve plate 6, the sealing strip 7 and the cover plate 1 are tightly connected together to form a stable whole structure. During the tightening process, the sealing strip 7 will be compressed to a certain extent and be in a compressed and taut state, which further enhances the sealing effect and prevents loosening or leakage. The installation work between the decorative unit and the cover plate 1 is thus completed. Outsiders can see the light emitted by the luminous liquid 5 inside the channel plate 3 through the transparent plate 4, which plays a certain decorative role.
[0023] Example 4: A pair of T-shaped holes 9 are provided above the transparent plate 4. The design of the T-shaped holes 9 has unique functions and advantages. The wide opening at the top facilitates the accurate injection of the luminescent liquid 5 into the tank plate 3 using tools such as syringes, while the narrow opening at the bottom fits tightly with the plug 10 to form a reliable sealing structure, preventing leakage of the luminescent liquid 5. The inner wall of the T-shaped holes 9 is threaded with plugs 10. The plugs 10 adopt a thread specification that matches the T-shaped holes 9, allowing them to be tightly screwed into the T-shaped holes 9. The plugs 10 are made of high-strength plastic, which has a certain degree of hardness and toughness, ensuring both... The threaded connection with the T-hole 9 is firm and reliable, and easy to operate by hand or with tools. The outer wall of the plug 10 is fixedly fitted with a collar 11, which is made of plastic. A sealing ring 12 is fixedly connected below the collar 11. The sealing ring 12 is also made of silicone rubber, which has good elasticity and sealing performance. When the plug 10 is screwed into the T-hole 9, the sealing ring 12 abuts against the transparent plate 4. The tight contact forms an additional sealing barrier, further enhancing the sealing effect and ensuring that the luminous liquid 5 will not leak from the T-hole 9, thus ensuring the normal use and decorative effect of the decorative part.
[0024] Example 5: The auxiliary unit includes a first heat-conducting plate 13, which is made of copper. Copper has excellent thermal conductivity, with a thermal conductivity coefficient as high as 401 W / (m·K), which can quickly transfer heat to the luminescent liquid 5, enabling the luminescent liquid 5 to sense temperature changes and change color in a timely manner. The first heat-conducting plate 13 is fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the tank plate 3, and is firmly connected to the tank plate 3 by welding or bonding. Welding provides stronger connection strength, ensuring that the first heat-conducting plate 13 and the tank plate 3 will not loosen or fall off; bonding has the advantages of convenient construction and less damage to the tank plate 3 and the first heat-conducting plate 13. The specific method can be selected according to the actual situation. Multiple heat-conducting blocks 15 are fixed to the lower surface of the first heat-conducting plate 13. The heat-conducting blocks 15 are also made of copper and are cylindrical in shape. The cylindrical heat-conducting block 15 increases the heat conduction area and improves heat transfer efficiency, allowing heat to be transferred more quickly from the first heat-conducting plate 13 to the heat-conducting block 15. The heat-conducting block 15 is fixedly connected to the slot plate 3, also by welding or bonding, to ensure the stability of the connection and ensure that heat can be smoothly transferred between the heat-conducting block 15 and the slot plate 3. A second heat-conducting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the heat-conducting block 15. The second heat-conducting plate 14 is also made of copper and has a larger area, allowing for more thorough contact with the heat generated by the car engine. The second heat-conducting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the slot plate 3, and this reliable connection ensures that heat can be smoothly transferred from the second heat-conducting plate 14 to the heat-conducting block 15, and then to the first heat-conducting plate. 13. Ultimately, the luminescent liquid 5 can quickly sense temperature changes and change color. As the car runs, the heat generated by the engine is transferred to the luminescent liquid 5 inside the tank plate 3. During the process of the car engine generating heat and transferring it to the luminescent liquid 5 inside the tank plate 3, the second heat-conducting plate 14 is close to the car engine and will directly contact the heat generated by the car engine. Since the second heat-conducting plate 14, the heat-conducting block 15 and the first heat-conducting plate 13 all have excellent heat conduction effects, and the first heat-conducting plate 13 is in direct contact with the luminescent liquid 5, it is easy for the luminescent liquid 5 to come into contact with heat more quickly. The luminescent liquid 5 will change color with the temperature to meet the personalized decoration needs of car owners and facilitate its widespread use.
[0025] Example 6: The upper surface of the first heat-conducting plate 13 is engraved with a pattern 16. The pattern 16 can be a car brand logo, a personalized pattern, or a decorative graphic. The engraving process uses laser engraving technology, which has the advantages of high precision, high speed, and good engraving effect. Through laser engraving technology, a fine and clear pattern can be formed on the surface of the first heat-conducting plate 13. The lines of the pattern are smooth and the edges are neat, which has a high degree of artistic appreciation. In use, an appropriate amount of luminescent liquid 5 is injected into the groove plate 3 through the T-hole 9. Then, the plug 10 is threaded to the T-hole 9, and the sealing ring on the lower surface of the collar 11 is tightly pressed against the transparent plate 4. Next, the groove plate 3 is embedded into the T-groove 2. Bolts 8 are used to pass through the sleeve plate 6 and the sealing strip 7 in sequence and are threaded to the cover plate 1, so that the sealing strip 7 is compressed and tightened. The installation of the decorative unit and the cover plate 1 is now complete. Outsiders can see the light emitted by the luminous liquid 5 inside the trough plate 3 through the transparent plate 4, which has a certain decorative effect. As the car runs, the heat generated by the engine will be transferred to the luminous liquid 5 inside the trough plate 3. During the process of the car engine generating heat and transferring it to the luminous liquid 5 inside the trough plate 3, the second heat-conducting plate 14 is close to the car engine and will come into direct contact with the heat generated by the car engine. Since the second heat-conducting plate 14, the heat-conducting block 15 and the first heat-conducting plate 13 all have excellent heat conduction, and the first heat-conducting plate 13 is in direct contact with the luminous liquid 5, the luminous liquid 5 can come into contact with the heat more quickly. The luminous liquid 5 will change color with the temperature to meet the personalized decoration needs of car owners and facilitate its widespread use.
