[0023] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle hood hinge, including a base 1, a sliding member 2, and a rotating member 3. The base 1 serves as the connection carrier between the hinge and the vehicle body, and also provides installation and guiding space for the sliding member 2 and the rotating member 3. The rotating member 3 is used to connect to the hood. The base 1 has a receiving cavity 11, with sliding grooves 12 on both sides of the receiving cavity 11. The sliding member 2 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11 and can slide along the length of the receiving cavity. A baffle 13, which is an integrally formed transverse cover plate, is provided above the receiving cavity 11 to limit the rotation member 3. The sliding member 2 has upward-facing limiting grooves 21 on both sides, and the limiting grooves 21 are U-shaped. One end of the sliding member 2 is provided with a drive rod 22, which extends out of the base 1 and drives the sliding member 2 to slide within the receiving cavity 11. The drive rod 22 can be driven by a motor or manually. The drive rod 22 can be threaded to engage with the power shaft 30 of the motor to allow the drive rod 22 to extend and retract. Of course, existing driving methods such as connecting the cylinder telescopic rod with the drive rod 22 can also be used. The rotating component 3 has a shaft 31, with both ends of the shaft 31 locked in the limiting groove 21 and slidably disposed in the sliding groove 12. The base 1, the sliding component 2, and the rotating component 3 can be connected by the shaft. When the rotating component 3 is in the positioning state, the limiting groove 21 is located below the baffle 13. At this time, the opening of the limiting groove 21 is blocked by the baffle 13, and the shaft 31 in the limiting groove 21 is blocked by the baffle and cannot be dislodged. The rotating component 3 can rotate relative to the sliding component 2 through the shaft 31, which facilitates opening the front cover. When the drive rod 22 moves towards the base 1, it drives the sliding component 2 to move, causing the limiting groove 21 to disengage from the baffle 13. When the limiting groove 21 is located outside the baffle 13, the rotating component 3 is in the released state. At this time, the shaft 31 is not blocked by the baffle 13 and can disengage from the limiting groove 21, which facilitates removing the front cover. The above technical solution enables the front cover to rotate, and at the same time, it allows for easy removal of the front cover during maintenance and repair, reducing safety risks and facilitating vehicle maintenance.

[0024] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with folding plates 14 on both sides, the folding plates 14 are vertically arranged, and the ends of the folding plates 14 are provided with protrusions 141, which are correspondingly arranged with the sliding grooves 12. The protrusions 141 prevent the sliding member 2 and the rotating member 3 from dislodging from the base 1 during sliding. The sliding member 2 is located between the two folding plates 14, thereby limiting the sliding member. The sliding groove 12 is provided on the folding plates 14. Specifically, the sliding groove 12 is located between the folding plates 14 and the baffle 13. The diameter of the shaft 31 is smaller than the width of the sliding groove 12, so that the shaft 31 can slide in the sliding groove 12. The shaft is supported by the folding plates 14, reducing friction with the base 1. The opening direction of the sliding groove 12 and the limiting groove 21 are perpendicular to each other, thereby limiting the shaft. The driving rod 22 is arranged parallel to the sliding groove 12, so that the moving direction of the driving rod 22 is consistent with that of the sliding groove 12, which facilitates the dislodging of the limiting groove 21 from the baffle.

[0025] Furthermore, the rotating component 3 includes a mounting plate 32 and side plates 33 disposed on both sides of the mounting plate 32. The side plates 33 are perpendicular to the mounting plate 32, and the rotating component 3 is L-shaped. The mounting plate 32 is located above the baffle 13, ensuring that its rotation is not interfered with by the baffle 13. A shaft 31 is disposed between the side plates 33, allowing the rotating component 3 to slide and rotate more smoothly. A groove 321 is provided at the rear of the mounting plate 32, corresponding to the drive rod 22. When the mounting plate 32 rotates, the groove 321 can avoid interference with the drive rod 22, and at the same time, it can limit the rotation angle of the mounting plate 32.

[0026] This embodiment uses the cooperation between the base, the sliding part and the rotating part to realize the rotation and sliding of the rotating part. This allows the rotating part to be detached from the base when needed without affecting the rotation of the front cover, without the need to disassemble the hinge as a whole, making the operation convenient.

[0027] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, it should be noted that these descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, other specific embodiments or equivalent substitutions of this utility model that can be conceived by those skilled in the art without creative effort will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
