Abstract

A locking mechanism of a front engine cover comprises the following structures: a front engine cover opening forwards; a pressure rod attached to the front engine cover; a main latch supported on a vehicle body side in a swing manner, a structure is to keep the pressure rod to form a total closing state of the front engine cover and the structure is to keep a released pressure rod to form a first partial open state of the front engine cover opened from the total closing state; an auxiliary latch supported on the vehicle body side in a swing manner, a structure is to connect the pressure rod when the front engine cover moves upwards from the first partial open state, so a second partial open stat with more opening space compared with the first partial open state of the front engine cover, and a structure is to swing to a first receiving position of a second latch allowing the front engine cover to move upwards; and a third latch, a structure is to connect with different connecting portions of the pressure rod arranged in the front engine cover, so a third partial open state with more opening space compared with the first partial open state of the front engine cover, and the third latch is arranged on the auxiliary latch for wholly swinging.
