[0034] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0035] The following describes an instrument beam support 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 The instrument cross beam support 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a main load-bearing plate 11 and a first flange 12, the main load-bearing plate 11 extends along the length direction of the vehicle 100, and the main load-bearing plate 11 is V-shaped, the large surface of the main load-bearing plate 11 is perpendicular to the width direction of the vehicle 100, and the main load-bearing plate 11 is recessed downward at the lowest point of its upper surface to form a pre-bent notch; that is, the upper surface of the main load-bearing plate 11 extends generally in a V-shape.

[0037] It should be explained that the main bearing plate 11 in the present application is a plate-like structure, and the dimension of the main bearing plate 11 in the thickness direction is much smaller than the dimension in the width direction and the dimension in the length direction. The large surface of the main bearing plate 11 refers to the two surfaces of the main bearing plate 11 in the thickness direction. When the main bearing plate 11 is arranged in the vehicle 100, the thickness direction of the main bearing plate 11 is parallel to the width direction of the vehicle 100, the length direction of the main bearing plate 11 is parallel to the length direction of the vehicle 100, the width direction of the main bearing plate 11 is parallel to the height direction of the vehicle 100, and the upper surface of the main bearing plate 11 is the surface of the floor of the vehicle 100 in the width direction, that is, the upper surface of the main bearing plate 11 is the surface of the floor of the vehicle 100 in the height direction of the vehicle 100.

[0038] For example, the main load-bearing plate 11 may include a first plate 112 and a second plate 113 connected in the length direction of the vehicle 100. In the direction from the first plate 112 to the second plate 113, the first plate 112 is inclined downward and the second plate 113 is inclined upward. The first plate 112 and the second plate 113 jointly define a pre-bend notch.

[0039] By setting the large surface of the main load-bearing plate 11 to be perpendicular to the width direction of the vehicle 100, the main load-bearing plate 11 can have a higher structural strength in the length direction of the vehicle 100, and the main load-bearing plate 11 can have a higher structural strength in the height direction of the vehicle 100. The main load-bearing plate 11 can have a greater load-bearing capacity in the length direction of the vehicle 100, and the main load-bearing plate 11 can have a better supporting effect in the height direction of the vehicle 100.

[0040] By setting the main bearing plate 11 into a V-shape and recessing the lowest point of its upper surface downward to form a pre-bend notch, the structural strength of the main bearing plate 11 at the pre-bend notch is relatively low. When the main bearing plate 11 is hit along the length direction of the vehicle 100, the main bearing plate 11 can be reliably bent at the pre-bend notch. At the same time, the pre-bend notch is a recessed space structure. When the main bearing plate 11 is bent at the pre-bend notch, the recessed space of the pre-bend notch can accommodate a part of the plate deformed toward the middle, thereby reducing the amount of the main bearing plate 11 offset in the width direction of the vehicle 100 due to the accumulation of the bent plate at the first pre-bend portion 121, so that the main bearing plate 11 can reliably collapse along the preset path, thereby fully absorbing the collision energy, reducing the amount of intrusion of the main bearing plate 11 into the passenger compartment, effectively ensuring the safety of the occupants, and improving the safety performance of the vehicle 100.

[0041] The first flange 12 is connected to the upper surface of the main bearing plate 11, and the first flange 12 extends along the width direction of the vehicle 100. The portion of the first flange 12 opposite to the pre-bend notch is a first pre-bend portion 121. The first pre-bend portion 121 is recessed toward the pre-bend notch, and the first pre-bend portion 121 is connected to the surface of the pre-bend notch facing upward.

[0042] By providing the first flange 12 extending in the width direction of the vehicle 100 on the upper surface of the main bearing plate 11, the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can have a higher structural strength in the length direction of the vehicle 100, the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can have a higher structural strength in the width direction of the vehicle 100, the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can have a larger load-bearing capacity in the length direction of the vehicle 100, and the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can have a better supporting effect in the height direction of the vehicle 100. When the instrument cross beam bracket 1 is hit in the length direction of the vehicle 100, the amount of displacement of the instrument cross beam bracket 1 in the width direction of the vehicle 100 can be reduced, so that the instrument cross beam can be reliably collapsed in the length direction of the vehicle 100, that is, the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can be reliably collapsed along the preset path, so as to fully absorb the collision energy, reduce the amount of the instrument cross beam bracket 1 intruding into the passenger compartment, effectively ensure the safety of the passengers, and improve the safety performance of the vehicle 100.

[0043] By setting the portion of the first flange 12 opposite to the pre-bend notch as a first pre-bend portion 121 that is recessed toward the pre-bend notch, the structural strength of the first flange 12 at the first pre-bend portion 121 is relatively low. When the instrument cross beam support 1 is subjected to a collision along the length direction of the vehicle 100, the first flange 12 can be reliably bent at the first pre-bend portion 121. At the same time, the first pre-bend portion 121 has a recessed space and a certain movable space. When the first flange 12 is bent at the first pre-bend portion 121, the recessed space of the first pre-bend portion 121 can accommodate a portion of the plate deformed toward the middle, thereby reducing the amount of the main bearing plate 11 offset in the width direction of the vehicle 100 due to the accumulation of the bent plate at the first pre-bend portion 121, so that the instrument cross beam support 1 can reliably collapse along the preset path, thereby fully absorbing the collision energy, reducing the amount of intrusion of the instrument cross beam support 1 toward the passenger compartment, effectively ensuring the safety of the occupants, and improving the safety performance of the vehicle 100.

[0044] For example, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The instrument cross beam support 1 may further include a second flange 13, which is connected to the lower surface of the main bearing plate 11, and extends in the same direction as the first flange 12. In this way, the structural strength of the instrument cross beam support 1 in the length direction of the vehicle 100 can be improved, and the structural strength of the instrument cross beam support 1 in the height direction of the vehicle 100 can be improved, so that the instrument cross beam support 1 has a greater load-bearing capacity in the length direction of the vehicle 100, and the instrument cross beam support 1 has a better supporting effect in the height direction of the vehicle 100.

[0045] According to the instrument cross beam support 1 of the present invention, a main load-bearing plate 11 and a first flange 12 are connected, a pre-bending notch is set on the main load-bearing plate 11, and a first pre-bending portion 121 matched with the pre-bending notch is set on the first flange 12. The overall structure is simple, and has a high load-bearing capacity and a good supporting effect. The instrument cross beam support 1 can reliably collapse along a preset path, fully absorb collision energy, reduce the amount of intrusion of the instrument cross beam support 1 into the passenger compartment, effectively ensure the safety of the occupants, and improve the safety performance of the vehicle 100.

[0046] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the main bearing plate 11 has two connection areas, and the connection areas are located at both ends of the main bearing plate 11 in the length direction of the vehicle 100, and each connection area is located above the pre-bending notch. When the vehicle 100 collides, the pre-bending notch can be placed in a position with a large torque, so that the parts of the instrument cross beam support 1 at both ends of the pre-bending notch can be reliably rotated around the pre-bending notch as the center, so as to approach each other, so that the parts of the instrument cross beam support 1 at both ends of the pre-bending notch are subjected to a smaller torque, and the deformation of the parts of the instrument cross beam support 1 at both ends of the pre-bending notch is reduced, so that the instrument cross beam support 1 can be reliably bent at the pre-bending notch.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the main bearing plate 11 has a second pre-bent portion 114. Specifically, the second pre-bent portion 114 can be provided on the large surface of the main bearing plate 11. The second pre-bent portion 114 is recessed toward the extension direction of the first flange 12, and the extension direction of the second pre-bent portion 114 intersects with the width direction of the vehicle 100, and the second pre-bent portion 114 extends to the pre-bent notch. For example, the second pre-bent portion 114 can extend along the height direction of the vehicle 100. In this way, the structural strength of the main bearing plate 11 at the second pre-bent portion 114 can be relatively low. When the main bearing plate 11 is subjected to a force in the width direction of the vehicle 100, that is, when the vehicle 100 is subjected to an offset collision or an angle collision, the main bearing plate 11 can be bent at the second pre-bent portion 114, so that the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can collapse and absorb energy, reduce the amount of the instrument cross beam bracket 1 intruding into the crew cabin, improve the safety performance of the vehicle 100, and effectively ensure the safety of the occupants.

[0048] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, a first weakened hole 115 is provided on the main bearing plate 11, the first weakened hole 115 is spaced from the pre-bending notch, and the first weakened hole 115 and the pre-bending notch are opposite in the height direction of the vehicle 100. In this way, the structural strength of the main bearing plate 11 at the first weakened hole 115 is lower, that is, the structural strength of the main bearing plate 11 at the pre-bending notch is further weakened, and when the vehicle 100 collides, the main bearing plate 11 is more reliably bent first at the pre-bending notch.

[0049] The first weakened hole 115 is a cavity structure. When the main load-bearing plate 11 is bent at the pre-bent notch, the plates on both sides of the first weakened hole 115 in the height direction of the vehicle 100 can collapse toward the first weakened hole 115, squeezing the cavity structure of the first weakened hole 115, so that the main load-bearing plate 11 can absorb a part of the collision energy at the first weakened hole 115, and reduce the amount of deviation of the main load-bearing plate 11 in the width direction of the vehicle 100 caused by the accumulation of the bent plates at the first weakened hole 115, so that the main load-bearing plate 11 can reliably collapse along the preset path, thereby more fully absorbing the collision energy, reducing the amount of intrusion of the main load-bearing plate 11 into the passenger compartment, effectively ensuring the safety of the occupants, and improving the safety performance of the vehicle 100.

[0050] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the main bearing plate 11 includes a first plate 112 and a second plate 113 connected in the length direction of the vehicle 100. In the direction from the first plate 112 to the second plate 113, the first plate 112 is inclined downward and the second plate 113 is inclined upward. The first plate 112 and the second plate 113 jointly define a pre-bent notch and a first weakened hole 115; that is, a part of the pre-bent notch is provided on the first plate 112, and another part of the pre-bent notch is provided on the second plate 113; a part of the first weakened hole 115 is provided on the first plate 112, and another part of the first weakened hole 115 is provided on the second plate 113.

[0051] In this way, the first plate 112 and the second plate 113 can both have a recessed space structure and a cavity structure, so that the first plate 112 and the second plate 113 can both reliably rotate around the pre-bent notch and approach each other, so that the first plate 112 and the second plate 113 can squeeze their own cavity structures when they collapse, reducing the amount of deviation of the main load-bearing plate 11 in the width direction of the vehicle 100 caused by the accumulation of the bent first plate 112 and the second plate 113 at the first weakened hole 115, so that the main load-bearing plate 11 can reliably collapse along a preset path.

[0052] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a second weakened hole 116 is provided on the first plate 112 , and the second weakened hole 116 is provided on a side of the first weakened hole 115 away from the second plate 113 , and the second weakened hole 116 is spaced apart from the first weakened hole 115 .

[0053] When the main load-bearing plate 11 is subjected to a large collision force, when the upper surface of the first plate 112 is squeezed against the upper surface of the second plate 113, the first plate 112 can compress the second plate 113 to collapse and deform toward the second weakened hole 116, thereby further absorbing the collision energy of the vehicle 100 and reducing the amount of intrusion of the main load-bearing plate 11 into the passenger compartment.

[0054] For example, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The second plate 113 may be provided with a third weakening hole 117, or the second plate 113 may not be provided with a weakening hole. Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the third weakened hole 117 is provided on the second plate 113, the third weakened hole 117 is provided on the side of the first weakened hole 115 away from the first plate 112, and the third weakened hole 117 is spaced apart from the first weakened hole 115. When the main load-bearing plate 11 is subjected to a large force, the second plate 113 can be compressed to collapse and deform toward the third weakened hole 117, thereby further absorbing the collision energy of the vehicle 100 and reducing the amount of intrusion of the main load-bearing plate 11 into the passenger compartment.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the weakening hole is not provided on the second plate 113, the structural strength of the second plate 113 can be higher, so that the second plate 113 can reliably transfer the collision force to the first plate 112, thereby improving the reliability of the collision force transmission, and the main load-bearing plate 11 can reliably collapse along the preset path, thereby fully absorbing the collision energy of the vehicle 100 and reducing the amount of intrusion of the main load-bearing plate 11 into the passenger compartment.

[0056] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the main bearing plate 11 further has a third pre-bent portion 118. In the width direction of the vehicle 100, the third pre-bent portion 118 is concave in the direction away from the extension of the first flange 12, that is, the concave direction of the third pre-bent portion 118 is set to be opposite to the extension direction of the first flange 12, and the third pre-bent portion 118 extends along the extension direction of the first plate 112, and one end of the third pre-bent portion 118 extends to the first weakened hole 115. For example, when the first plate 112 is provided with a second weakened hole 116, the two ends of the third pre-bent portion 118 can extend to the first weakened hole 115 and the second weakened hole 116 respectively. When the first plate 112 collapses and deforms toward the second weakened hole 116, the first plate 112 can bend at the third pre-bent portion 118, so that the main bearing plate 11 can bend and deform again to absorb energy, thereby further reducing the intrusion amount of the main bearing plate 11 toward the crew cabin.

[0057] By setting the concave direction of the third pre-bend portion 118 to be opposite to the extension direction of the first flange 12, when the first plate 112 is bent at the third pre-bend portion 118, the first flange 12 moves toward the bottom of the first plate 112 and forms a cavity structure together with the first plate 112 (for example, when a second flange 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the main load-bearing plate 11, the first flange 12 and the second flange 13 can move toward each other and form a cavity structure together with the first plate 112), thereby further absorbing the collision energy of the vehicle 100, thereby further reducing the intrusion amount of the main load-bearing plate 11 toward the crew cabin.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the dashboard bracket assembly 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises: two instrument cross beam brackets 1 and a front adapter plate 2 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the vehicle 100, the instrument cross beam bracket 1 is the instrument cross beam bracket 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention; the front adapter plate 2 is connected between the two instrument cross beam brackets 1, and the front adapter plate 2 is used to connect the front panel 40 of the vehicle 100; for example, the front adapter plate 2 can be connected to the end of the first plate 112 away from the second plate 113; for example, the front adapter plate 2 and the front panel 40 can be connected by fasteners, specifically, a nut 21 can be provided on the front adapter plate 2, and a bolt passes through the front panel 40 and is connected to the nut 21 to connect the front adapter plate 2 and the front panel 40 together.

[0059] By providing a front adapter plate 2 to connect the two instrument cross beam brackets 1, the two instrument cross beam brackets 1 and the front adapter plate 2 can form an integral structure, making the connection between the two instrument cross beam brackets 1 and the front panel 40 simpler and more convenient.

[0060] The instrument panel bracket assembly 10 according to the present invention has a simple overall structure through the above-mentioned instrument cross beam bracket 1, and has a high load-bearing capacity and a good supporting effect. The instrument cross beam bracket 1 can reliably collapse according to a preset path, fully absorb the collision energy, and reduce the amount of intrusion of the instrument cross beam bracket 1 into the passenger compartment, thereby effectively ensuring the safety of the occupants and improving the safety performance of the vehicle 100.

[0061] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first flange 12 on one of the two instrument cross beam brackets 1 is extended in a direction away from the other. That is, the first flanges 12 of the two instrument cross beam brackets 1 extend in opposite directions. When the vehicle 100 is subjected to an offset collision or an angle collision, one of the instrument cross beam brackets 1 can be bent toward the other, that is, the two instrument cross beam brackets 1 can be bent toward the gap between the two, and the gap between the two instrument cross beam brackets 1 can be fully utilized for collapse, thereby reducing the risk of the instrument cross beam bracket 1 collapsing and crushing the components of the instrument panel, and improving the reliability of the instrument panel bracket assembly 10.

[0062] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the instrument panel bracket assembly 10 further includes: a support plate 3, the support plate 3 is located on the side of the pre-bending notch away from the front adapter plate 2, and the support plate 3 is connected between the two instrument cross beam brackets 1. For example, the support plate 3 can be connected between the two second plates 113. In this way, the structural strength between the two second plates 113 can be improved, so that the second plate 113 can reliably transfer the collision force to the first plate 112, so that the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can reliably bend at the pre-bending notch and the first pre-bending structure, so that the instrument cross beam bracket 1 can more reliably collapse according to the preset path, thereby improving the reliability of the instrument panel bracket assembly 10.

[0063] At the same time, the two instrument cross beam brackets 1, the support plate 3 and the front adapter plate 2 can together form a frame structure, thereby improving the structural strength of the instrument panel bracket assembly 10, improving the load-bearing performance of the instrument panel bracket assembly 10 and the support of the instrument panel, thereby improving the reliability of the instrument panel bracket assembly 10.

[0064] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 The vehicle 100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention comprises: a dash panel 40, a dashboard cross beam 50 and a dashboard bracket assembly 10, wherein the dashboard cross beam 50 is spaced from the dash panel 40 in the length direction of the vehicle 100 and the dashboard cross beam 50 is used to support the instrument panel of the vehicle 100; and the dashboard bracket assembly 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is connected between the dash panel 40 and the dashboard cross beam 50. For example, the vehicle 100 may be a car.

[0065] According to the vehicle 100 of the present invention, through the above-mentioned dashboard bracket assembly 10, the overall structure is simple, and has a high load-bearing capacity and good supporting effect, which can make the instrument cross beam bracket 1 reliably collapse according to the preset path, fully absorb the collision energy, reduce the amount of intrusion of the instrument cross beam bracket 1 into the passenger compartment, effectively ensure the safety of the occupants, and improve the safety performance of the vehicle 100.
