[0003] Since the dashboard cross beam and the dashboard frame in the prior art are connected by split assembly, the dashboard cross beam and the dashboard frame need to be supplied as two separate supply units during transportation to the OEM, resulting in high logistics costs. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an instrument panel frame and a vehicle, which can reduce logistics costs.

[0005] On the one hand, the present invention provides an instrument panel frame, including a frame body, a first reinforcement part and a second reinforcement part, wherein the first reinforcement part is arranged on the frame body, and the second reinforcement part is respectively arranged at both ends of the first reinforcement part, and the first reinforcement part, the second reinforcement part and the frame body are integrally formed.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the skeleton body includes a top skeleton and a bottom skeleton, and the first reinforcement portion is disposed between the top skeleton and the bottom skeleton.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the top end of the second reinforcement portion is arranged on the top frame, and the bottom end of the second reinforcement portion is arranged on the bottom frame.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, a third reinforcement portion is further included. The third reinforcement portion is arranged on the bottom frame, and the third reinforcement portion is integrally formed with the bottom frame and the first reinforcement portion.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, it further comprises a first reinforcement member and a second reinforcement member, wherein the first reinforcement member is disposed between the two third reinforcement portions, and the second reinforcement member is disposed between the top frame and the first reinforcement portion.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the third reinforcement portion extends downward out of the bottom frame area to form a mid-channel mounting bracket.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cross-sections of the first reinforcement portion, the second reinforcement portion, the third reinforcement portion and the center channel mounting bracket are in a grid shape, and the first reinforcement portion, the second reinforcement portion, the third reinforcement portion and the center channel mounting bracket extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, a front enclosure mounting bracket is detachably connected to the first reinforcement portion.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle body connecting bracket and a fastener are provided on the second reinforcement portion, and the vehicle body connecting bracket is connected to the vehicle body through the fastener.

[0014] In another aspect, a vehicle is provided, comprising the above-mentioned instrument panel frame.

[0015] The above technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0016] (1) The skeleton body and the reinforcement part described in the present invention are integrally formed to form an instrument panel skeleton integrated structure. During transportation and supply, only the instrument panel skeleton integrated structure with the skeleton body and the reinforcement part integrally formed needs to be supplied, and there is no need to supply the skeleton body and the reinforcement part separately, thereby reducing logistics costs.

[0017] (2) The present application directly installs the dashboard frame integration mechanism onto the sub-assembly table, and then installs the skin onto the dashboard frame integration mechanism, thereby reducing the OEM's process of assembling the dashboard cross beam and the dashboard frame, reducing potential matching problems between the dashboard cross beam and the dashboard frame, saving time costs, improving the efficiency of skin installation, and reducing the number of fasteners for assembling the dashboard cross beam and the dashboard frame, further reducing related standard parts costs and potential BOM management costs.

[0018] (3) The volume of the integrated structure of the skeleton body and the reinforcement part of the present application is not much different from the volume of the assembled instrument panel skeleton and can be almost ignored. Therefore, it is only necessary to store the overall structure of the instrument panel crossbeam and the instrument panel skeleton according to the original storage plan of the instrument panel skeleton, which reduces the storage space by nearly half and effectively reduces the logistics cost and storage cost of the crossbeam skeleton.

[0019] (4) The integrally formed parts of the skeleton body, the reinforcement part and the middle channel mounting bracket of the present application adopt an I-shaped structure and an H-shaped structure. The combination of the I-shaped structure and the H-shaped structure improves the load-bearing capacity and can ensure the modality.

[0020] (5) The one-piece injection molding technology of the present application can effectively reduce the weight of the integrated structure of the skeleton body and the reinforcement part. That is, when the weight of the dashboard skeleton remains unchanged, only a 2 kg dashboard cross beam is needed to realize the function of the dashboard cross beam, thereby achieving weight reduction. The skeleton body and the reinforcement part are integrated, making the dashboard body extremely lightweight.

[0021] (6) The present application only requires integrating the mold of the dashboard cross beam onto the mold of the dashboard frame to obtain an integrated molding mold. There is no need to separately open a mold for the integrated structure of the frame body and the reinforcement part, thus saving mold costs, related inspection tools and fixture costs, and greatly reducing the cost of the design company.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, the instrument panel skeleton of the present invention includes a skeleton body 13, a first reinforcement part 3 and a second reinforcement part 4, wherein the first reinforcement part 3 is arranged on the skeleton body 13, and the second reinforcement part 4 is respectively arranged at both ends of the first reinforcement part 3, and the first reinforcement part 3, the second reinforcement part 4 and the skeleton body 13 are integrally formed.

[0035] The instrument panel skeleton of the present application includes two parts: a skeleton body 13 and a reinforcement part 14, and both the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 are made by one-piece molding technology, so the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 are integrally molded to form an instrument panel skeleton integrated structure. Specifically, the reinforcement part 14 includes a first reinforcement part 3 and a second reinforcement part 4, and the first reinforcement part 3 is arranged on the skeleton body 13 to improve the comprehensive bearing capacity of the entire instrument panel skeleton integrated structure, and the length direction of the first reinforcement part 3 is arranged along the length direction of the skeleton body 13, and the first reinforcement part 3, the second reinforcement part 4 and the skeleton body 13 are integrally molded, so that when transporting and supplying, only the integrated structure of the skeleton body 13 (equivalent to the instrument panel skeleton of the prior art) and the reinforcement part 14 (equivalent to the instrument panel cross beam of the prior art) needs to be supplied, and there is no need to supply the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 separately, which reduces the logistics cost. In addition, in the process of the main engine factory installing the skin, for the prior art, it is necessary to first install the dashboard crossbeam on the sub-assembly table, then install the dashboard frame on the dashboard crossbeam on the sub-assembly table, and finally install the skin on the dashboard frame. For the present application, the integrated mechanism of the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 is directly installed on the sub-assembly table, and then the skin is installed on the integrated mechanism, which reduces the main engine factory's assembly process of the dashboard crossbeam and the dashboard frame, reduces the potential matching problem between the dashboard crossbeam and the dashboard frame, saves time cost, improves the efficiency of skin installation, and reduces the fasteners for assembling the dashboard crossbeam and the dashboard frame, further reducing the related standard parts cost and potential BOM management cost. In addition, the volume of the integrated mechanism of the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 of the present application is not much different from the volume of the assembled dashboard frame, which can be almost ignored. Therefore, it is only necessary to store the integrated mechanism of the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 according to the storage plan of the assembled dashboard frame, which reduces the storage space by nearly half and effectively reduces the logistics cost and storage cost of the crossbeam frame. Furthermore, the integrally formed part of the first reinforcing part 3, the second reinforcing part 4 and the skeleton body 13 adopts an I-shaped structure along the Y direction (lateral direction) to ensure the lateral transmission of force when subjected to force, and to ensure the lateral mode of the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism. Preferably, the first reinforcing part 3, the second reinforcing part 4 and the skeleton body 13 are integrally injection molded, and the injection molding material of the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcing part 14 is PA6-GF60, replacing the original material PP+TD20 of the instrument panel skeleton to ensure the strength of the parts. Therefore, the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcing part 14 are made of plastic injection molding. The weight of the steel instrument panel crossbeam in the prior art is generally more than 10 kilograms. The weight of the steel-plastic or aluminum-plastic instrument panel crossbeam can be reduced to 6-7 kilograms. For the pure plastic / pure plastic + carbon fiber instrument panel crossbeam, the weight can be reduced to 5-6 kilograms.For example, if the basic weight of the dashboard frame is 9 kg, and the basic weight of the dashboard crossbeam is 6 kg, then the total weight of the assembled dashboard crossbeam and dashboard frame is 15 kg. Using the one-piece injection molding technology of this application, the weight of the integrated structure of the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 is only 11 kg, that is, when the weight of the dashboard frame remains unchanged at 9 kg, only a 2 kg dashboard crossbeam is needed to realize the function of the dashboard crossbeam, thus achieving weight reduction. The skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 are integrated, making the dashboard skeleton integrated structure extremely lightweight. In addition, the one-piece molding mold can be obtained by integrating the mold of the dashboard crossbeam on the basis of the mold of the dashboard frame, without the need to open a mold for the integrated structure of the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 separately, and saving the cost of related inspection tools and fixtures, greatly reducing the cost of the design company.

[0036] In one embodiment, the skeleton body 13 includes a top skeleton 1 and a bottom skeleton 2 , and the first reinforcement portion 3 is disposed between the top skeleton 1 and the bottom skeleton 2 .

[0037] The skeleton body 13 includes two parts, a top skeleton 1 and a bottom skeleton 2. The top skeleton 1 is arranged on the top of the bottom skeleton 2, and the top skeleton 1 and the bottom skeleton 2 are integrally formed. The first reinforcement part 3 is arranged between the top skeleton 1 and the bottom skeleton 2. Preferably, the first reinforcement part 3 is arranged in the middle position between the top skeleton 1 and the bottom skeleton 2 to improve the comprehensive load-bearing capacity of the entire instrument panel skeleton integration structure.

[0038] In one embodiment, the top end of the second reinforcement portion 4 is disposed on the top frame 1 , and the bottom end of the second reinforcement portion 4 is disposed on the bottom frame 2 .

[0039] Two second reinforcing parts 4 are provided, and the two second reinforcing parts 4 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the first reinforcing part 3. Specifically, the top frame 1 is a bending structure from bottom to top and backward, the second reinforcing part 4 is arranged along the Z direction, the top end of the second reinforcing part 4 is arranged on the bending top of the top frame 1, and the bottom of the second reinforcing part 4 is arranged on the bottom frame 2. The arrangement of the second reinforcing part 4 improves the load-bearing capacity of the integrated mechanism of the frame body 31 and the reinforcing part 14.

[0040] In one embodiment, a third reinforcement portion 5 is further included. The third reinforcement portion 5 is disposed on the bottom frame 2 . The third reinforcement portion 5 is integrally formed with the bottom frame 2 and the first reinforcement portion 3 .

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the reinforcement part 14 includes a third reinforcement part 5 in addition to the first reinforcement part 3 and the second reinforcement part 4. The third reinforcement part 5 is arranged on the skeleton body 13. Furthermore, the third reinforcement part 5 is arranged on the bottom skeleton 2, and the third reinforcement part 5 is arranged along the Z direction to reinforce the bottom skeleton 2 and improve the bearing capacity of the bottom skeleton 2. The third reinforcement part 5 is integrally formed with the bottom skeleton 2 and the first reinforcement part 3 to form an instrument panel skeleton integrated structure. The instrument panel skeleton integrated structure only needs to be stored according to the storage plan of the assembled instrument panel skeleton.

[0042] In one embodiment, it further includes a first reinforcement 25 and a second reinforcement 26 , wherein the first reinforcement 25 is disposed between the two third reinforcement portions 5 , and the second reinforcement 26 is disposed between the top frame 1 and the first reinforcement portion 3 .

[0043] The first reinforcement 25 and the second reinforcement 26 are used to improve the load-bearing capacity of the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism. Specifically, two third reinforcement parts 5 are provided, and the two third reinforcement parts 5 are arranged symmetrically about the left and right vertical symmetry planes of the instrument panel integrated mechanism. The first reinforcement 25 is arranged along the X direction, and the second reinforcement 26 is arranged between the two third reinforcement parts 5. The first reinforcement 25 is integrally formed with the bottom skeleton 2 and the third reinforcement part 5 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism. In addition, the second reinforcement 26 is arranged along the Z direction, and the second reinforcement 26 is provided between the top skeleton 1 and the first reinforcement part 3, and the second reinforcement 26 is integrally formed with the top skeleton and the first reinforcement part 3 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bottom of the third reinforcement portion 5 extends downward from the bottom frame 2 area to form a middle channel mounting bracket 8.

[0045] The third reinforcement portion 5 extends downward to form a middle channel mounting bracket 8, and the middle channel mounting bracket 8 connects the instrument panel frame integration mechanism with the middle channel. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are two middle channel mounting brackets 8, which are symmetrically arranged. Figure 2As shown, the third reinforcement part 5 on the left side forms an intersection with the middle channel mounting bracket 8 on the left side, and the third reinforcement part 5 on the right side forms an intersection with the middle channel mounting bracket 8 on the right side. The two intersections are connected by the first reinforcement 25. The third reinforcement part 5, the middle channel mounting bracket 8, the first reinforcement 25, the second reinforcement 26 and the skeleton body 13 are integrally formed at the Z direction (longitudinal) to ensure the longitudinal transmission of force when subjected to force, and to ensure the longitudinal mode of the instrument panel skeleton integration mechanism. Further, two middle channel mounting points 9 are set on each middle channel mounting bracket 8, and the instrument panel skeleton integration mechanism is connected to the middle channel through the middle channel mounting points 9. In addition, the Y-direction limit locking of the instrument panel skeleton integration mechanism is realized through the middle channel mounting bracket 8. A CNSL (sub-instrument panel, console) mounting point is set on the middle channel mounting bracket 8 to connect the middle channel mounting bracket 8 with the sub-instrument panel to improve the connection stability; and a harness mounting point is set on the middle channel mounting bracket 8 to fix the harness. In addition, corresponding mounting points are provided for the peripheral parts of the instrument panel skeleton integration mechanism to improve the connection stability.

[0046] In one embodiment, the cross-sections of the first reinforcement portion 3, the second reinforcement portion 4, the third reinforcement portion 5 and the center channel mounting bracket 8 are in a grid shape, and the first reinforcement portion 3, the second reinforcement portion 4, the third reinforcement portion 5 and the center channel mounting bracket 8 extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the cross-sections of the first reinforcement part 3, the second reinforcement part 4, the third reinforcement part 5 and the center channel mounting bracket 8 are all grid-shaped and extend along the X direction (the front-rear direction of the vehicle body) so as to improve the load-bearing capacity of the integrally formed part of the skeleton body 13 and the reinforcement part 14 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body and improve the load-bearing capacity of the instrument panel skeleton integration structure.

[0048] In one embodiment, a front enclosure mounting bracket 6 is detachably connected to the first reinforcement portion 3 .

[0049] The first reinforcement portion 3 is connected to a front panel mounting bracket 6, and the dashboard skeleton integration mechanism is connected to the front panel of the vehicle through the front panel mounting bracket 6. 1-3 mounting points can be set on the front panel mounting bracket 6 to achieve the connection between the front panel mounting bracket 6 and the front panel. Preferably, the front panel mounting bracket 6 is detachably connected to the first reinforcement portion 3. Since an integrated molding mold can be obtained by integrating a mold of the dashboard cross beam on the basis of a mold of the dashboard skeleton, if a mold of the front panel mounting bracket 6 is integrated on the integrated molding mold, the mold cost will be greatly increased, and it is not convenient to demold the front panel mounting bracket 6 when it is integrated into the integrated molding mold. Therefore, the front panel mounting bracket 6 is detachably connected to the first reinforcement portion 3, which can facilitate demolding and reduce mold costs. Further, if Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a positioning hole 15 is provided on the first reinforcement portion 3, and a front wall positioning pin 16 is provided on the front wall mounting bracket 6. The positioning hole 15 includes a main positioning hole 17 and a secondary positioning hole 18. The front wall positioning pin 16 includes a main front wall positioning pin 19 and a secondary front wall positioning pin 20. The main front wall positioning pin 19 is inserted into the main positioning hole 17. The size of the main front wall positioning pin 19 is adapted to the size of the main positioning hole 17 to prevent the main front wall positioning pin 19 from moving in the main positioning hole 17; the secondary front wall The positioning pin 20 is inserted into the secondary positioning hole 18, and the connecting direction of the main positioning hole 17 and the secondary positioning hole 18 is the reference direction (Y direction). The secondary positioning hole 18 has a preset length along the reference direction. When the main front wall positioning pin 19 is inserted into the main positioning hole 17, the secondary front wall positioning pin 20 is simultaneously inserted into the secondary positioning hole 18. The preset length of the secondary positioning hole 18 can accommodate the manufacturing error between the main front wall positioning pin 19 and the secondary front wall positioning pin 20 along the reference direction, which is convenient for assembly. In addition, the front wall mounting bracket 6 and the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism are screwed together by bolts. Multiple bolts can be used. Some of the bolts screw the front wall mounting bracket 6 and the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism in the direction from the front of the vehicle to the rear of the vehicle, and the other part of the bolts screw the front wall mounting bracket 6 and the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism in the direction from the rear of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle, so as to improve the screw connection stability.

[0050] In one embodiment, a vehicle body connection bracket 10 and a fastener 11 are disposed on the second reinforcement portion 4 , and the vehicle body connection bracket 10 is connected to the vehicle body via the fastener 11 .

[0051] The second reinforcement part 4 of the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism is connected to the A-pillar of the vehicle through the vehicle body connection bracket 10. Specifically, the second reinforcement part 4 is provided at both ends of the first reinforcement part 3, and each second reinforcement part 4 is provided with a vehicle body connection bracket 10 and a fastener 11, and the vehicle body connection bracket 10 is connected to the A-pillar of the vehicle through the fastener 11, wherein, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fastener 11 on the vehicle body connection bracket 10 includes a bushing 22 and a first locating pin 23. The fastener 11 is directly integrated into the vehicle body connection bracket 10 by pre-embedding, that is, the bushing 22 and the first locating pin 23 and other fasteners 11 are pre-embedded into the vehicle body connection bracket 10 by an insert injection molding process to improve assembly efficiency.

[0052] In one embodiment, a reinforcing connector 12 is further included, and the reinforcing connector 12 is disposed between the vehicle body connecting bracket 10 and the center channel mounting bracket 8 .

[0053] The load-bearing capacity of the vehicle body connection bracket 10 and the central channel mounting bracket is improved by strengthening the connection member 12. Figure 3As shown, the body connection bracket 10 on the left side of the first reinforcement part 3 and the center channel mounting bracket 8 are connected by a reinforcement connector 12 (the body connection bracket 10 on the left side of the instrument panel body and the center channel mounting bracket 8 can be detachably connected and arranged according to actual needs) to improve the load-bearing capacity, and the reinforcement connector 12 here can also provide a mounting point for the glove box; the body connection bracket 10 on the right side of the instrument panel body and the center channel mounting bracket 8 are connected by a reinforcement connector 12, and the body connection bracket 10 on the right side of the instrument panel body and the center channel mounting bracket 8 are integrally formed to improve the load-bearing capacity between the body connection bracket 10 and the center channel mounting, and further improve the load-bearing capacity of the instrument panel body.

[0054] In one embodiment, a steering column connection point 7 is provided on both the first reinforcement portion 3 and the front enclosure mounting bracket 6 , and the steering column connection point 7 connects the steering column to the first reinforcement portion 3 and the front enclosure mounting bracket 6 .

[0055] The steering column is used to connect the steering wheel and the steering gear, and drives the steering gear to achieve the steering function of the vehicle by transmitting the torque applied by the driver. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a steering column connection point 7 is set on the first reinforcement part 3, and a steering column connection point 7 is also set on the front wall mounting bracket 6. Therefore, the steering column of the present application is connected to the first reinforcement part 3 and the front wall mounting bracket 6 at the same time, that is, the steering column connection point 7 connects the steering column to the first reinforcement part 3 and the front wall mounting bracket 6 to improve the connection stability of the steering column. Further, the steering column is divided into a DP column (four steering column mounting points) and a CP column (three steering column mounting points) according to the structure. Taking the DP column as an example, two of the four steering column mounting points are located on the front wall mounting bracket 6, and the other two are located on the instrument panel skeleton integrated mechanism, that is, located on the first reinforcement part 3. Two of the steering column connection points 7 use insert injection molding to set the fasteners on the front wall mounting bracket 6; since the fasteners on the first reinforcement part 3 are not easy to demold by insert injection molding, the other two steering column connection points 7 use a hot pressing process to set the fasteners on the first reinforcement part 3 for easy demolding.

[0056] In one embodiment, the top frame 1 and the bottom frame 2 form a frame body 13, the first reinforcement part 3, the second reinforcement part 4 and the third reinforcement part 5 form a reinforcement part 14, and an air-conditioning installation point for installing an air conditioner is provided on the frame body 13 and / or the reinforcement part 14, and the air-conditioner is directly connected to the air-conditioning installation point and / or the air-conditioner is connected to the air-conditioning installation point via an adapter.

[0057] An air conditioning installation point is set on the middle channel installation bracket 8, such as Figure 2The mounting ears 24 shown connect a certain part of the air conditioner to the mounting ears 24 on the middle channel mounting bracket 8. Furthermore, an air conditioner mounting point can also be set on the skeleton body 13, and a certain part of the air conditioner can be connected to the air conditioner mounting point on the skeleton body 13. Alternatively, air conditioner mounting points can be set on both the middle channel mounting bracket 8 and the skeleton body 13, and the air conditioner can be connected to the middle channel mounting bracket 8 and the skeleton body 13 at the same time to improve the connection stability of the air conditioner. In addition, some of the connections between the air conditioner and the instrument panel skeleton integration mechanism that use long cantilevers can use the form of adapter brackets to connect the instrument panel skeleton integration mechanism to the air conditioner, so as to avoid the connection structure that is difficult to achieve using modalities such as long cantilevers.
