[0045] S1: Mounting bracket 4 is installed and embedded in the center console using a traditional installation method;

[0046] S2: Flip the force-applying plate 17 out of the receiving groove 15 through the through hole 19, and then rotate the force-applying plate 17;

[0047] S3: The force plate 17 drives the take-up roller 26 to rotate via the rotating shaft 16. The take-up roller 26 winds up the connecting rope 27. The connecting rope 27 drives the pin 14 to move. The force plate 17 drives the compression block 29 to compress the second compression spring 30 inside the compression groove 28 until the pin 14 is completely inside the cavity 25.

[0048] S4: Insert the central control panel 1 into the inside of the mounting bracket 4, so that the card block 6 engages with the card slot 8 and the mounting block 7 engages with the mounting slot 9. Press the central control panel 1 inward and release the force plate 17.

[0049] S5: Under pressure, the top post 11 abuts against the inner side of the slot 8, and then the top post 11 drives the slider 23 to compress the first compression spring 24 inside the movable cavity 20 until the front end of the central control panel 1 is flush with the front end of the mounting bracket 4. At this time, the top post 11 completely enters the inner side of the movable cavity 20, and the rear end of the block 6 fits against the inner wall of the slot 8.

[0050] S6: At this time, the pin 14 matches the slot 10, the second compression spring 30 returns to its original position, and then the pin 14 will spring into the inner cavity of the slot 10. Then the force plate 17 is folded to the inside of the receiving groove 15 for storage, thus completing the installation and fixing.

[0051] S7: The disassembly and maintenance process is similar to the installation process. When the pin 14 is disengaged from the slot 10, the first compression spring 24 is reset, which pushes the center control panel 1 out of the mounting bracket 4 by a part, and then the center control panel 1 can be removed.

[0052] S8: The screw 13 facilitates fixing the fixing block 21, the first compression spring 24, and the slider 23 inside the movable cavity 20, and the notch 12 facilitates the reception of the screw 13.

[0053] It should be noted that this invention is a structure and method for an automotive center console panel that is easy to install and disassemble. In use, the mounting bracket 4 is installed on the center console using a traditional installation method. The force-applying plate 17 is flipped out of the receiving groove 15 through the through hole 19. Then, the force-applying plate 17 is rotated, and the force-applying plate 17 drives the winding roller 26 to rotate via the rotating shaft 16. The winding roller 26 winds up the connecting rope 27, which causes the pin 14 to shift. The force-applying plate 17 drives the compression block 29 to compress the second compression spring 30 inside the compression groove 28 until the pin 14 is fully inserted into the cavity 25. The center console panel 1 is then inserted into the inner side of the mounting bracket 4, so that the locking block 6 engages with the locking groove 8 and the mounting block 7 engages with the mounting groove 9. The center console panel 1 is pressed inward and the force-applying plate 17 is released. Under pressure, the top post 11 abuts against the inner side of the locking groove 8, thereby driving the slider. 23. The first compression spring 24 is compressed inside the movable cavity 20 until the front end of the central control panel 1 is flush with the front end of the mounting bracket 4. At this time, the top post 11 is fully inserted into the inner side of the movable cavity 20, the rear end of the locking block 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the slot 8, the pin 14 is in contact with the slot 10, the second compression spring 30 is reset, and the pin 14 will spring into the inner cavity of the slot 10. Then the force plate 17 is folded into the inner side of the receiving groove 15 for storage, thus completing the installation and fixing. The disassembly and maintenance are similar to the installation steps. When the pin 14 is pushed out of the slot 10, the first compression spring 24 is reset, so that the central control panel 1 will be pushed out of the mounting bracket 4 by a part. Then the central control panel 1 can be removed. The screw 13 is convenient to fix the fixing block 21, the first compression spring 24, and the slider 23 inside the movable cavity 20. The notch 12 is convenient to accommodate the screw 13.
