Vehicle mounts, dashboard components and vehicles Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to a vehicle mount, dashboard assembly, and vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Car cabins typically contain instrument panels that display vehicle status information. For example, these panels may show vehicle speed, fault codes, tire pressure, and other information. For occupants to easily view the displayed information, the instruments need to remain stable. Therefore, ensuring a more stable installation of these instruments presents a key technical challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a vehicle mount, a dashboard assembly, and a vehicle.
[0004] The vehicle mount according to this application embodiment is used for mounting instruments, and the vehicle mount includes:
[0005] bottom wall;
[0006] A top wall, which is disposed opposite to the bottom wall;
[0007] The rear wall connects the bottom wall and the top wall. The rear wall, top wall and bottom wall together form an accommodating space for installing the instrument. The rear wall is provided with a positioning hole that communicates with the accommodating space and is used to position the instrument.
[0008] In the vehicle mount of this application embodiment, the positioning hole is used to position the instrument, so that the instrument can be quickly installed into the accommodating space during the installation process. In addition, the accommodating space is used to install the instrument, so that the instrument can be supported on the bottom wall, and the accommodating space can restrict the range of motion of the instrument, thereby allowing the instrument to be stably installed on the vehicle mount.
[0009] In some embodiments, the number of positioning holes is multiple, and the multiple positioning holes are spaced apart. In this way, multiple positioning holes can restrict the instrument's degrees of freedom in multiple directions, thereby making the instrument's installation position more accurate.
[0010] In some embodiments, the rear wall is provided with a through hole communicating with the accommodating space. The through hole is spaced apart from the positioning hole. The through hole allows the wiring portion of the instrument to pass through the rear wall, or allows the wiring portion of the instrument to be exposed through the rear wall. Thus, the through hole facilitates the connection between the instrument and the wires, enabling the instrument to function normally.
[0011] In some embodiments, the top wall is provided with a first mounting hole for a fastener to pass through in order to secure the instrument. Thus, the first mounting hole, through which a fastener passes, secures the instrument, further ensuring its stable mounting on the vehicle mount.
[0012] In some embodiments, the vehicle mount includes a side portion connected to the bottom wall, the top wall, and the rear wall. The side portion has a locking hole for engaging with the instrument cluster. This locking hole allows the instrument cluster to be pre-fixed during installation, facilitating a more stable mounting on the vehicle mount.
[0013] In some embodiments, at least one of the side portion and the top wall is provided with a second mounting hole, the opening of which faces away from the bottom wall, and the second mounting hole is used to mount a decorative panel. Thus, the second mounting hole allows the decorative panel to also be mounted on the vehicle mount.
[0014] The dashboard assembly of this application includes the vehicle mount and instrument panel of any of the above embodiments, with the instrument panel installed in the accommodating space. Thus, the accommodating space allows for a more stable installation of the instrument panel.
[0015] In some embodiments, the dashboard assembly further includes a frame on which the vehicle mount is mounted. Thus, the frame provides support for the vehicle mount, ensuring stable mounting and consequently, greater stability of the instrument cluster after installation.
[0016] In some embodiments, the vehicle mount further includes a mounting portion connecting the top wall and the rear wall and extending away from the rear wall along the thickness direction of the rear wall. The mounting portion has a third mounting hole for fasteners to pass through, thereby securing the vehicle mount to the frame. Thus, the third mounting hole allows for a more stable mounting of the mounting portion to the frame.
[0017] In some embodiments, the vehicle mount further includes a limiting portion connected to one side of the top wall along its length. The limiting portion has a limiting hole, and the frame includes a limiting block disposed in the limiting hole to restrict the movement of the vehicle mount along a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the top wall. Thus, by limiting the movement of the vehicle mount along a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the top wall, the limiting block restricts the range of motion of the vehicle mount, which is beneficial for mounting the vehicle mount on the frame.
[0018] In some embodiments, the vehicle mount includes a locating pin disposed on the bottom wall, the locating pin being inserted into the frame to position the vehicle mount on the frame. This locating pin placement within the frame improves the efficiency of mounting the vehicle mount on the frame.
[0019] The vehicle described in this application includes the dashboard assembly described in any of the above embodiments.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-3. Figure 1 shows the assembly relationship of the vehicle bracket 10, instrument panel 20 and decorative panel 30 in the embodiment of this application; Figure 2 shows the assembly relationship of the vehicle bracket 10 and instrument panel 20 in the embodiment of this application; and Figure 3 shows the assembly relationship of the vehicle bracket 10, instrument panel 20 and frame 40 in the embodiment of this application.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1, the dashboard assembly 100 of this embodiment includes a vehicle mount 10 and an instrument panel 20. The instrument panel 20 is mounted on the vehicle mount 10, or in other words, the vehicle mount 10 is used to mount the instrument panel 20. Specifically, the vehicle mount 10 is a component of the vehicle 200. The vehicle mount 10 can support the instrument panel 20, making the instrument panel 20 stable during use and facilitating passengers to view the information displayed on the instrument panel 20.
[0039] The vehicle mount 10 can be made of plastic, or in other words, the vehicle mount 10 can be a plastic part. This makes it easier to form different structures according to different needs, thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle mount 10.
[0040] The instrument cluster 20 can be positioned in front of the driver's seat, allowing the driver to view information such as vehicle speed and fuel consumption displayed on the instrument cluster 20. The instrument cluster 20 can be a combination instrument cluster 20. The instrument cluster 20 includes a display screen, through which information is displayed.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-3. In some embodiments, the vehicle mount 10 includes a bottom wall 11, a top wall 12, and a rear wall 13, with the top wall 12 disposed opposite to the bottom wall 11. The rear wall 13 connects the bottom wall 11 and the top wall 12. The rear wall 13, the top wall 12, and the bottom wall 11 together form an accommodating space 14, which is used to install the instrument 20. The rear wall 13 is provided with a positioning hole 131, which communicates with the accommodating space 14 and is used to position the instrument 20.
[0042] In the vehicle mount 10 of this application embodiment, the positioning hole 131 is used to position the instrument 20, so that the instrument 20 can be quickly installed into the accommodating space 14 during the installation process. In addition, the accommodating space 14 is used to install the instrument 20, so that the instrument 20 can be supported on the bottom wall 11, and the accommodating space 14 can restrict the range of motion of the instrument 20, thereby allowing the instrument 20 to be stably installed on the vehicle mount 10.
[0043] Specifically, the bottom wall 11 is a sheet-like component. The surface of the bottom wall 11 can be configured differently to meet various requirements. For example, the surface of the bottom wall 11 facing the accommodating space 14 can have a slightly uneven structure to adapt to the structure of the instrument cluster 20. Similarly, the top wall 12 is also a sheet-like component, and its surface can also have different configurations. The top wall 12 is located above the bottom wall 11. The direction referred to here refers to the orientation of the vehicle mount 10 when the instrument cluster 20 is in normal use.
[0044] The rear wall 13 can be integrally formed with the top wall 12 and the bottom wall 11. For example, the bottom wall 11, the top wall 12, and the rear wall 13 can be formed by injection molding. The rear wall 13 can limit the range of rearward movement of the instrument 20, and the bottom wall 11 and the top wall 12 can limit the range of vertical movement of the instrument 20, so that the instrument 20 can be accurately installed.
[0045] It can be understood that the instrument 20 is installed in the accommodating space 14, meaning that the instrument 20 can be partially or completely housed in the accommodating space 14.
[0046] The instrument 20 can be positioned with the vehicle mount 10 through the positioning hole 131. As shown in FIG1, by way of example, the instrument 20 includes a positioning post 21, which can be inserted into the positioning hole 131, so that the positioning post 21 and the positioning hole 131 can cooperate with each other to position the instrument 20 on the vehicle mount 10, thereby improving the efficiency of mounting the instrument 20 on the vehicle mount 10.
[0047] Referring to Figure 1, in some embodiments, there are multiple positioning holes 131, which are spaced apart. Thus, multiple positioning holes 131 can restrict the instrument 20's degrees of freedom in multiple directions, thereby making the instrument 20's installation position more accurate.
[0048] Specifically, the number of positioning holes 131 can be 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Multiple positioning holes 131 can be spaced apart along the length direction of the vehicle bracket 10, where the length direction of the vehicle bracket 10 can be the same as the width direction of the vehicle. The positioning holes 131 can be round, square, or other shapes; the specific shape of the positioning holes 131 is not limited here. It should be noted that the positioning holes 131 penetrate both sides of the rear wall 13 in the thickness direction.
[0049] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the rear wall 13 is provided with a through hole 132 communicating with the accommodating space 14. The through hole 132 is spaced apart from the positioning hole 131. The through hole 132 is used to allow the wiring portion 22 of the instrument 20 to pass through the rear wall 13, or to allow the wiring portion 22 of the instrument 20 to be exposed through the rear wall 13. In this way, the through hole 132 facilitates the connection of the instrument 20 with the wires, so that the instrument 20 can work normally.
[0050] Specifically, the via 132 extends through both sides of the rear wall 13 in the thickness direction, thereby connecting the via 132 to the accommodating space 14. As discussed above, the instrument 20 is installed in the accommodating space 14, and with the via 132 connecting to the accommodating space 14, wires can easily be connected to the instrument 20 through the via 132.
[0051] As shown in Figure 1, the wiring portion 22 of the instrument 20 can be located within the accommodating space 14. The wire can pass through the through hole 132 into the accommodating space 14 to connect with the wiring portion 22 of the instrument 20. When the wiring portion 22 is connected to the wire, the wire does not need to pass through the accommodating space 14.
[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the instrument 20 includes a wiring portion 22, which is disposed in the through hole 132, and the wiring port of the wiring portion 22 is located outside the accommodating space 14.
[0053] It should be noted that the wiring portion 22 of the instrument 20 is exposed through the rear wall 13, which means that the wiring portion 22 of the instrument 20 is completely located in the accommodating space 14 or partially located in the accommodating space 14 and partially accommodated in the through hole 132. When the wiring portion 22 of the instrument 20 is completely located in the accommodating space 14, the wiring portion 22 can be observed from the outside of the accommodating space 14.
[0054] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the top wall 12 is provided with a first mounting hole 121 for a first fastener 122 to pass through in order to secure the instrument 20. Thus, the first mounting hole 121 allows the first fastener 122 to pass through in order to secure the instrument 20, further ensuring that the instrument 20 is stably mounted on the vehicle mount 10.
[0055] Specifically, the first mounting hole 121 is a hole that penetrates both sides of the top wall 12 in the thickness direction. The first mounting hole 121 can be a round hole, a square hole, or other shapes, and its specific shape is not limited here. In this embodiment, there are two first mounting holes 121. In other embodiments, there can be three or more first mounting holes 121. The first fastener 122 is, for example, a screw. During the installation of the instrument 20, the screw can be screwed into the first mounting hole 121 from top to bottom, thereby fastening the instrument 20 and the top wall 12 together.
[0056] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the vehicle mount 10 includes a side portion 15, which is connected to the bottom wall 11, the top wall 12, and the rear wall 13. The side portion 15 is provided with a locking hole 151 for engaging with the instrument cluster 20. Thus, the locking hole 151 engages with the instrument cluster 20, allowing the instrument cluster 20 to be pre-fixed during installation, which facilitates a more stable installation of the instrument cluster 20 on the vehicle mount 10.
[0057] Specifically, the side portions 15 are located on both sides of the vehicle mount 10 along its length, with the inner surface of the side portions 15 facing the accommodating space 14. The side portions 15 have an irregular structure, allowing them to fit around components of the dashboard assembly 100. The instrument cluster 20 may include a clip that engages with a locking hole 151, thereby restricting movement of the instrument cluster 20 relative to the vehicle mount 10.
[0058] In this embodiment, the depth direction of the card hole 151 is consistent with the thickness direction of the rear wall 13. That is to say, when the instrument 20 is installed into the accommodating space 14 from front to back, the buckle of the instrument 20 can be inserted into the card hole 151, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the instrument 20.
[0059] In this embodiment of the application, the card hole 151 can be a hole of the shape of a round hole, a square hole, etc., and the specific shape of the card hole 151 is not limited here.
[0060] In one example, during the installation and assembly of the instrument panel 20 and the vehicle mount 10, the instrument panel 20 can be inserted into the receiving space 14 and the positioning pin 21 of the instrument panel 20 can be inserted into the positioning hole 131. Then, the locking hole 151 of the vehicle mount 10 can be engaged with the instrument panel 20 to complete the pre-installation of the instrument panel 20. Finally, the first fastener 122 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121 to fasten the instrument panel 20 and the vehicle mount 10 together, thereby completing the assembly of the instrument panel 20 and the vehicle mount 10.
[0061] Referring to Figures 1 and 4, in some embodiments, at least one of the side portion 15 and the top wall 12 is provided with a second mounting hole 152, the opening of which faces away from the bottom wall 11. The second mounting hole 152 is used to mount the decorative panel 30. Thus, the second mounting hole 152 allows the decorative panel 30 to also be mounted on the vehicle mount 10.
[0062] Specifically, the second mounting hole 152 extends downward from the top surface of the top wall 12 or the side portion 15. The second mounting hole 152 and the decorative panel 30 can be fixed together by snap-fit, interference fit, or other means. In this embodiment, the second mounting hole 152 can be a hole of a round hole, a square hole, or other shapes, and the specific shape of the second mounting hole 152 is not limited here. The decorative panel 30 is a component of the dashboard assembly 100 used for decoration. The decorative panel 30 can cover at least part of the vehicle bracket 10, thereby making the dashboard assembly 100 more aesthetically pleasing.
[0063] Referring to Figures 3 and 6, in some embodiments, the dashboard assembly 100 further includes a frame 40 on which the vehicle mount 10 is mounted. Thus, the frame 40 provides support for the vehicle mount 10, ensuring stable mounting of the vehicle mount 10, thereby making the instrument cluster 20 more stable after installation.
[0064] Specifically, the frame 40 generally possesses high strength, enabling the vehicle mount 10 to stably support other components. The frame 40 can be a single component or an assembly. The frame 40 can be formed using injection molding to create a structure compatible with the vehicle mount 10. As the assembly carrier, the frame 40 is generally fixed in place. Therefore, after the vehicle mount 10 is installed onto the frame 40, the instrument cluster 20 is then installed onto the vehicle mount 10, ensuring relative stability for the instrument cluster 20 after installation.
[0065] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, in some embodiments, the vehicle mount 10 further includes a mounting portion 16. The mounting portion 16 connects the top wall 12 and the rear wall 13 and extends away from the rear wall 13 along the thickness direction of the rear wall 13. The mounting portion 16 is provided with a third mounting hole 161 for a second fastener 162 to pass through, thereby securing the vehicle mount 10 to the frame 40. Thus, the third mounting hole 161 of the mounting portion 16 allows the mounting portion 16 to be mounted more stably on the frame 40.
[0066] Specifically, the mounting portion 16 has a sheet-like structure, and the third mounting hole 161 is a hole that penetrates both sides of the mounting portion 16 in the thickness direction. The third mounting hole 161 can be a round hole, a square hole, or other shapes, and its specific shape is not limited here. In this embodiment, there is one third mounting hole 161. In other embodiments, there can be two or more third mounting holes 161. The second fastener 162 is, for example, a screw. During the installation of the instrument 20, the screw can be screwed into the third mounting hole 161 from top to bottom, thereby fastening the vehicle bracket 10 and the frame 40 together.
[0067] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, in some embodiments, the vehicle mount 10 further includes a limiting portion 17 connected to one side of the top wall 12 along its length. The limiting portion 17 has a limiting hole 171. The frame 40 includes a limiting block 41 disposed in the limiting hole 171 to restrict the movement of the vehicle mount 10 along the thickness direction perpendicular to the top wall 12. Thus, the limiting block 41, disposed in the limiting hole 171, restricts the movement of the vehicle mount 10 along the thickness direction perpendicular to the top wall 12, thereby limiting the range of motion of the vehicle mount 10, which is beneficial for the vehicle mount 10 to be mounted on the frame 40.
[0068] Specifically, the limiting part 17 has a sheet-like structure, and the limiting hole 171 is a hole that penetrates both sides of the limiting part 17 in the thickness direction. The limiting hole 171 can be a round hole, a square hole, or other shapes, and the specific shape of the limiting hole 171 is not limited here. In this embodiment, there are two limiting holes 171. In other embodiments, there can be one or more limiting holes 171.
[0069] The limiting block 41 is disposed in the limiting hole 171, so that the limiting block 41 and the limiting hole 171 cooperate with each other to restrict the vehicle bracket 10 from moving horizontally relative to the frame 40.
[0070] Referring to Figures 2 and 7, in some embodiments, the vehicle mount 10 includes a positioning pin 18 disposed on the bottom wall 11. The positioning pin 18 is inserted into the frame 40 to position the vehicle mount 10 on the frame 40. This arrangement of the positioning pin 18 within the frame 40 improves the efficiency of mounting the vehicle mount 10 onto the frame 40.
[0071] Specifically, the number of positioning pins 18 can be one or more. The positioning pins 18 are columnar, and after the positioning pins 18 are inserted into the frame 40, the positioning pins 18 can limit the range of motion of the vehicle mount 10, so that the vehicle mount 10 can be positioned on the frame 40.
[0072] In one example, during the installation of the vehicle mount 10 onto the frame 40, the positioning pin 18 can be inserted into the frame 40 first, and the limiting hole 171 of the vehicle mount 10 can be engaged with the limiting block 41 of the frame 40 to complete the pre-installation of the vehicle mount 10. Finally, a second fastener 162, such as a screw, is passed through the third mounting hole 161 to fasten the vehicle mount 10 onto the frame 40, thereby completing the installation of the vehicle mount 10.
[0073] It should be noted that during the installation of the instrument panel 20, the vehicle mount 10 can be installed onto the frame 40 first, and then the instrument panel 20 can be installed onto the vehicle mount 10; or the instrument panel 20 can be installed onto the vehicle mount 10 first, and then the vehicle mount 10 with the instrument panel 20 can be installed onto the frame 40.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 8. The vehicle 200 of this application embodiment includes the dashboard assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments. Specifically, the vehicle 200 can be a bus, a truck, or other vehicle 200 equipped with an instrument panel 20. In addition, the vehicle 200 can also be an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or a fuel cell vehicle. This application does not limit the specific type of the vehicle 200.
