[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0029] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the embodiment of the present application provides an instrument panel beam structure, which comprises a first main beam 1 and a second main beam 2 located below the first main beam 1, the second main beam 2 comprising a first beam section 21 and a second beam section 22, the first main beam 1, the first beam section 21 and the second beam section 22 being connected in sequence, the first main beam 1 and the second beam section 22 being arranged to extend in the left-right direction of the vehicle and being respectively arranged to correspond to the main driver's seat and the co-driver's seat of the vehicle, and the first main beam 1 and the second beam section 22 being arranged to be spaced apart in the up-down direction of the vehicle, the first beam section 21 being located below the first main beam 1 and above the second beam section 22.

[0030] It should be noted that the left-right direction of the vehicle is the Y axis direction in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , accordingly, the front-rear direction of the vehicle is the X axis direction in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , and the up-down direction of the vehicle is the Z axis direction in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , which is also a vertical direction.

[0031] Specifically, the first main beam 1 and the second main beam 2 constitute a beam body, the beam body is arranged in front of the main and auxiliary driver seats along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the left end of the first main beam 1 is used for connecting with the left side body 400, the right end of the second main beam 2 is used for connecting with the right side body 500, that is, the right end of the second beam segment 22 of the second main beam 2 is used for connecting with the right side body 500; wherein, the first main beam 1 is arranged corresponding to the main driver seat, the second beam segment 22 of the second main beam 2 is arranged corresponding to the auxiliary driver seat, and the first beam segment 21 of the second main beam 2 is arranged corresponding to the console between the main driver seat and the auxiliary driver seat. The first main beam 1 and the second main beam 2 can be directly connected, or can be connected through the first leg 3 introduced later. Moreover, the second main beam 2 is located below the first main beam 1, wherein the first main beam 1 and the second beam segment 22 are arranged horizontally along the left-right direction, and the second beam segment 22 is located below the first main beam 1. The first beam segment 21 is located below the first main beam 1 and above the second beam segment 22, so that the heights of the first main beam 1, the first beam segment 21 and the second beam segment 22 decrease in turn in the up-down direction. The first beam segment 21 can be an L-shaped (that is, two sides of the L are arranged at right angles) or L-shaped (that is, two sides of the L are arranged at acute angles or obtuse angles) beam structure, at this time, the second main beam 2 is generally Z-shaped as shown in Figure 1 The first beam segment 21 can also be an inclined beam structure arranged inclinedly relative to the vertical direction, at this time, the beam body constituted by the first main beam 1 and the second main beam 2 is generally Z-shaped.

[0032] The instrument panel beam structure in the embodiment can realize the connection between the first main beam 1 and the second main beam 2 by connecting the first main beam 1, the first beam segment 21 and the second beam segment 22 in turn; at the same time, by arranging the second beam segment 22 corresponding to the auxiliary driver seat below the first main beam 1 corresponding to the main driver seat, arranging the first beam segment 21 below the first main beam 1 and above the second beam segment 22, so that the heights of the first main beam 1, the first beam segment 21 and the second beam segment 22 decrease in turn, further making the instrument panel beam structure present a depressed state at the second main beam 2 and further fully depressed at the second beam segment 22 of the second main beam 2, so that the installation space required by the intelligent electronic products in the auxiliary driver cabin can be reserved, thereby increasing the installation space of the intelligent electronic products to meet the installation of the intelligent electronic products, without the need to greatly reduce the original electronic elements of the vehicle.

[0033] Further, as shown in Figure 3 , the first main beam 1 and the second beam segment 22 have a spacing in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In this way, the installation space required by the intelligent electronic products in the auxiliary driver cabin in the front-rear direction can be further increased to meet the installation of more electronic elements.

[0034] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the instrument panel beam structure also includes a first mounting bracket 8, and the end of the first main beam 1 away from the first beam segment 21 is used to connect to the left side body 400 of the vehicle via the first mounting bracket 8.

[0035] In this embodiment, the left end of the first main beam 1 and the first mounting bracket 8 are usually fixedly connected by means such as welding to ensure the strength of the connection; the first mounting bracket 8 and the left side of the vehicle body 400 are usually detachably connected by means such as bolts, so as to realize the connection between the instrument panel beam structure and the left side of the vehicle body 400, and to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the instrument panel beam structure also includes a second mounting bracket 9, and the end of the second beam segment 22 away from the first beam segment 21 is used to connect to the right side body 500 of the vehicle via the second mounting bracket 9.

[0037] In this embodiment, the right end of the second beam segment 22 is usually fixedly connected to the second mounting bracket 9 by means of welding, etc., to ensure the strength of the connection; the second mounting bracket 9 and the right side of the vehicle body 500 are usually detachably connected by means of bolts, etc., so as to realize the connection between the instrument panel beam structure and the right side of the vehicle body 500, and to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0038] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the instrument panel crossbeam structure also includes a third mounting bracket 10, which is connected to the first main beam 1 and is used to mount the vehicle's steering column 600.

[0039] In this embodiment, the steering column 600 is mounted on the first main beam 1 via the third mounting bracket 10, thereby achieving the fixed mounting of the steering column 600 on the first main beam 1. In addition, the first main beam 1 and the third mounting bracket 10 are usually connected by means such as welding to ensure the firmness of the connection.

[0040] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the instrument panel crossbeam structure also includes a first support leg 3 located below the first main beam 1. The first main beam 1 and the first beam segment 21 are respectively connected to the first support leg 3, and the end of the first support leg 3 away from the first main beam 1 is used to connect to the front bulkhead 100.

[0041] Specifically, the first main beam 1 and the second main beam 2 are connected by a first support leg 3, with the upper end of the first support leg 3 connected to the first main beam 1 and the lower end connected to the lower crossbeam of the front bulkhead 100. The first support leg 3 can be connected to either the middle or the right end of the first main beam 1, and the first beam segment 21 can be connected to either the upper or middle part of the first support leg 3; no specific limitation is made here. Furthermore, since the vehicle's steering system is typically mounted on the dashboard crossbeam structure, the rigidity of the dashboard crossbeam structure on the driver's side has a certain impact on the NVH performance of the steering system.

[0042] In this embodiment, a first support leg 3 can be provided below the first main beam 1, and the first main beam 1 and the first beam segment 21 can be connected to the first support leg 3 respectively, so that the first main beam 1 and the second main beam 2 are connected through the first support leg 3. In this way, the first support leg 3 can be used to support the first main beam 1 and even the crossbeam body, ensuring that the instrument panel crossbeam structure has high rigidity and strength on the driver's side, thereby meeting the NVH performance of the steering system. Moreover, by connecting the end of the first support leg 3 away from the first main beam 1 to the front bulkhead 100, the instrument panel crossbeam structure is connected to the front bulkhead 100. Compared with the prior art of installing the first support leg 3 on the central tunnel between the driver and passenger seats, this not only ensures that the instrument panel crossbeam structure has high stability when installed in the cockpit, but also reduces the space occupied by the instrument panel crossbeam structure in the cockpit.

[0043] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, the first leg 3 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other. The first main beam 1 is connected to the first end of the first leg 3. The second end of the first leg 3 is used to connect with the front bulkhead 100. The first beam segment 21 is connected between the first end and the second end of the first leg 3.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first beam segment 21 is preferably connected to the middle part of the first support leg 3. This makes the crossbeam body also press down at the first beam segment 21, and at the same time, it also makes the crossbeam body press down more fully at the second beam segment 22, thereby further increasing the installation space required for intelligent electronic products in the co-pilot's cabin.

[0045] Furthermore, combined Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the first leg 3 comprises a first support section 31 and a second support section 32 connected with each other, the first beam section 21 and the first main beam 1 are connected to the first support section 31 respectively, one of the first support section 31 and the second support section 32 is provided with a second slot 311, the other of the first support section 31 and the second support section 32 is provided with a second insertion part, the second insertion part is inserted into the second slot 311, and the depth of the second slot 311 is greater than the depth of the second insertion part inserted into the second slot 311.

[0046] It should be noted that the depth of the second slot 311 refers to the size of the second slot 311 along the length direction of the first leg 3, and the depth of the second insertion part inserted into the second slot 311 refers to the size of the part of the second insertion part inserted into the second slot 311 along the length direction of the first leg 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first support section 31 and the second support section 32 are fixedly connected by welding or the like, and at the same time, the first support section 31 and the second support section 32 are also connected by the second slot 311 and the second insertion part, and the depth of the second slot 311 is greater than the depth of the second insertion part inserted into the second slot 311, so that a certain amount of collapse can be reserved at the first leg 3, so that when the front end of the vehicle is impacted, a certain amount of collapse can occur at the first leg 3 of the instrument panel beam structure, thereby reducing the distance of the instrument panel beam structure invading the driver cabin under the impact, and improving the safety during driving.

[0048] Optionally, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the instrument panel beam structure further comprises a connecting beam 4, the first main beam 1 and the first beam section 21 are connected to the connecting beam 4 respectively, the connecting beam 4 is used for mounting the central control screen 300 of the vehicle, and the connecting beam 4, the first main beam 1, the first leg 3 and the first beam section 21 jointly enclose a closed ring structure.

[0049] In this embodiment, the central control screen 300 is usually mounted on the horizontal section of the connecting beam 4, for example, on the first connecting part 41 (to be described later) of the connecting beam 4. On the basis of the first main beam 1 and the first beam section 21 being connected through the first leg 3, the first main beam 1 and the first beam section 21 are further connected through the connecting beam 4, and form a closed ring structure, so that the overall stiffness of the instrument panel beam structure and the stiffness at the mounting point of the central control screen 300 can be further enhanced, the risk of the central control screen 300 shaking during driving of the vehicle can be reduced, and it is also convenient to install a central control screen 300 of a larger size.

The first connecting support 5 is arranged in front of the first main beam 1, the front end of the first connecting support 5 is used for connecting with the upper cross beam of the front apron 100, and the rear end of the first connecting support 5 is connected with the first main beam 1. In this way, not only the first main beam 1 and even the beam body can be supported by the first connecting support 5 to improve the rigidity and strength of the instrument panel beam structure on the side of the main driver, but also the instrument panel beam structure is connected with the front apron 100 to further ensure that the instrument panel beam structure has high stability when it is installed in the cockpit.

[0055] Further, in combination with Figure 1 As shown, the first leg 3 and the first connecting support 5 are respectively connected with one end of the first main beam 1 close to the first beam segment 21. In this way, the first connecting support 5 can support the connection between the first main beam 1 and the first beam segment 21 together with the first leg 3, thereby improving the stability when the first main beam 1 is connected with the second main beam 2.

[0057] It should be noted that the depth of the first slot 511 refers to the size of the first slot 511 along the length direction of the first connecting bracket 5, which is also the size of the first slot 511 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the depth of the first inserting part inserted into the first slot 511 refers to the size of the part of the first inserting part inserted into the first slot 511 along the length direction of the first connecting bracket 5.
