How is the car support rod used
The use of the hood support rod mainly includes the following steps :
Find the hood and support rods : The hood is usually located in the center of the front face of the vehicle and is attached to the vehicle's radiator grille by two hinges. The support rod is usually a metal or plastic rod with a small hook at one end that snaps into the slot.
Open the hood : Most cars require you to unscrew the front hood lock by hand or with a wrench. Once the lock is open, the hood will open slightly, creating a slit.
Insert the support rod : Find the slot or hole for the support rod in the front hood, usually located right in the center of the hood. Insert the support rod into the slot, ensuring that it is fully inserted and secured in place.
Support hood : The support rod automatically springs up and firmly supports the hood, preventing it from shaking or tipping over during driving.
Close the hood : If you need to close the hood, press the button on the support rod or pull the support rod out of the slot, then gently close the hood.
Operation differences from vehicle to vehicle : The way the hood opens and supports may differ from vehicle to vehicle. For example, some models may need to pull a switch located inside the driver's side door and then make sure the hood is fully open in front of the car before supporting it. Therefore, it is recommended to refer to the vehicle manual for specific operating instructions.
The main materials of automotive support rods include metal, plastic and composite materials .
Metallic material
Metal material is one of the common choices in the manufacture of automotive support rods. They have high strength, good rigidity and stability, and can withstand large loads and shocks. Common metal materials include:
Stainless steel : has excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for humid or corrosive environment .
aluminum alloy : light and easy to process, suitable for the need to reduce weight .
carbon steel : high strength and load carrying capacity, suitable for heavy duty applications .
Plastic material
Plastic materials also occupy a certain market share in the manufacture of automotive support rods. They have the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, good insulation and so on, while the cost is relatively low. Common plastic materials include:
Nylon : has good processing properties, suitable for various shapes of support rods .
polycarbonate : has high strength and transparency, suitable for occasions where high transparency is required .
polypropylene : low cost, suitable for the application scenarios with high cost requirements .
Composite material
Composite material is a new kind of material which is gradually emerging in the manufacture of automobile support rod in recent years. They are composed of two or more materials with different properties and have excellent comprehensive properties. Common composites include:
Carbon fiber composite : has the characteristics of high strength, high stiffness, light weight and corrosion resistance, suitable for applications with high performance requirements, such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other fields .
glass fiber composite material : has the advantages of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, suitable for the need of high strength and corrosion resistance .
