Modularized cross beam with flexible design

Abstract

The invention provides a flexibly-designed modularized cross beam which comprises end plate modules, tubular column support modules, middle supporting modules and a tubular beam, the end plate modules are arranged at the two ends of the tubular beam and used for being connected with the side wall of a vehicle body, and the tubular column support modules are arranged on one side of the tubular beam and used for installing steering tubes and being connected with the front wall of the vehicle body. The middle supporting module is arranged in the middle of the tubular beam and used for being connected with a channel in a vehicle body, the length of the tubular beam can be adjusted according to different vehicle types, the connecting positions of the end plate module and the tubular column support module and the tubular beam can be adjusted according to different vehicle types, and more supports on the cross beam can be universally used on different vehicle types and different platforms through the structure. Meanwhile, multiple dimensions such as the overall structural strength, rigidity and weight of the cross beam are kept controllable, and the shorter development cycle and the lower single-vehicle cost are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to vehicle interior systems, in particular to a cross member for an instrument panel. Background technique [0002] The instrument panel beam is a relatively important component inside the vehicle. It is mainly responsible for the installation of the instrument panel, air conditioner, various electrical modules and wiring harnesses. It also plays an important role in the steering mode of the steering wheel and the collision safety of the whole vehicle. Therefore, its structure is relatively complex, and the development cycle is relatively long. In particular, each model needs to design a different structure, which requires a large one-time investment such as molds and tooling, and the development cost is also high. Therefore, in order to save the development cost and shorten the development cycle, a series of designs that can reduce economical and time investment such as platformization and modularization have put forward ...
