The reinforcing support mechanisms made of this material have good dimensional stability when subjected to heat and stress; the reinforcing support mechanism matches the inner cavity size of the main body frame 8 on the instrument panel, and main positioning holes 13 and auxiliary positioning holes 14 are arranged on both sides for positioning; the overall structure of the reinforcing support mechanism is designed as a concave-convex feature, and a pointed reinforcing rib is added to the top of the outer side to form a support to meet the tip of the main body frame; and a closed rib is added to the cavity on the back of the convex feature. The design of the overall concave-convex structure and reinforcing ribs of the reinforcing support mechanism not only makes the structure strong and stable, but also makes the overall weight light and easy to form with mold technology.

[0069] The strengthening support mechanism is rigidly connected to the main body frame 8 of the instrument panel by screw fastening, and is designed to conform to the cavity on the back of the main body frame 8 of the instrument panel, thereby strengthening the cavity structure inside the main body frame 8 of the instrument panel, preventing the main body frame 8 of the instrument panel from having product appearance quality problems due to structural deformation during the hot pressing and cold pressing process stages, and at the same time improving the single-piece qualified rate of production.

[0070] Strengthening the supporting structure Through this strengthening measure, both the new styling requirements of the current project and the strength requirements of the skeleton of the 3Dmesh dashboard during the hot pressing and cold pressing process can be met, preventing the dashboard frame from being compressed and deformed, and improving the structural strength of the single-piece components of the dashboard body. At the same time, it meets the design freedom of the styling, expands the diversity of interior craftsmanship, and enables the styling design to achieve the diversification of the 3Dmesh dashboard.

[0071] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for processing an automobile instrument panel, using the automobile instrument panel production auxiliary device of the above structure, and comprising the following steps:

[0072] S1, assembling the automobile instrument panel production auxiliary device and the instrument panel upper body frame 8;

[0073] S2, assembling the 3D mesh layer 7 and the instrument panel upper body frame 8;

[0074] S3, assembling the instrument panel covering layer 9 and the 3D mesh layer 7 to form an instrument panel body assembly;

[0075] S4, the instrument panel body assembly is hot pressed;

[0076] S5. The instrument panel body assembly is cold pressed.

[0077] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in the above step S1, the first reinforcing support mechanism 11 and the second reinforcing support mechanism 12 are inserted into the inner cavity of the main body frame 8 on the instrument panel, and the positioning pins on the main body frame 8 on the instrument panel are respectively inserted into the main positioning holes 13 and the secondary positioning holes 14 of the first reinforcing support mechanism 11 and the second reinforcing support mechanism 12. After positioning is completed, the first reinforcing support mechanism 11 and the second reinforcing support mechanism 12 are fixed to the main body frame 8 on the instrument panel with screws, and the inner cavity of the main body frame 8 on the instrument panel is filled and supported by the first reinforcing support mechanism 11 and the second reinforcing support mechanism 12.

[0078] In the above step S2, the 3D mesh layer 7 and the main body frame 8 of the instrument panel are compositely connected together by glue, and then cooled for 20 minutes.

[0079] In the above step S3, the instrument panel covering layer 9 and the 3D mesh layer 7 are compositely connected together by glue, and the 3D mesh layer 7 is located between the instrument panel covering layer 9 and the instrument panel upper body frame 8. The material of the instrument panel covering layer 9 is PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

[0080] In the above step S4, the instrument panel body assembly enters the hot pressing tooling to activate the glue.

[0081] In the above step S5, the dashboard body assembly enters the cold press tooling to cure the glue to ensure product stability, thus completing the production of the automobile dashboard.

[0082] The automobile instrument panel processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the same technical effect as the automobile instrument panel production auxiliary device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a car dashboard, which is processed by the above-mentioned car dashboard processing method, and has the same technical effect, which will not be described in detail here.

[0084] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
