[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments 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.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for a light truck, comprising a tube beam and a mounting bracket.

[0022] The tube beam includes a main tube beam 1 and a secondary tube beam 2. The main tube beam 1 is suitable for installation on the main driver's side, and the secondary tube beam 2 is suitable for installation on the secondary driver's side. The main tube beam 1 and the secondary tube beam 2 are both made of aluminum alloy, and the main tube beam 1 and the secondary tube beam 2 are connected by riveting.

[0023] The mounting bracket is used for mounting the environmental part, and the mounting bracket comprises an injection-molded bracket, and the injection-molded bracket is formed on the pipe beam by injection molding.

[0024] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the tube beam is divided into two parts: a main tube beam 1 and a secondary tube beam 2, which are respectively suitable for installation on the main driver's side and the secondary driver's side of the vehicle. In order to achieve the purpose of lightweight, the main tube beam 1 and the secondary tube beam 2 are both made of aluminum alloy, which not only reduces the weight of the instrument cross beam, but also maintains sufficient strength and corrosion resistance.

[0025] The main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 are connected by riveting, which ensures a stable connection between the two and meets the structural rigidity and strength requirements. Moreover, they can be disassembled when necessary and are easy to disassemble.

[0026] The mounting bracket is mainly used to fix environmental parts, such as steering column mounting bracket, steering column assembly, steering wheel assembly, brake pedal, clutch pedal, air conditioning system, washing pot assembly, relay box, etc. The mounting bracket includes an injection molded bracket. Compared with the alloy bracket, the injection molded bracket has a smaller bearing capacity. Therefore, the injection molded bracket is mainly used to install environmental parts that are less subject to external impact, such as decorative parts, instrument panel covers, etc.

[0027] It should be noted that some brackets of installation environment parts are formed by injection molding. During production, the main pipe beam 1 or the auxiliary pipe beam 2 is first fixed in a mold as an embedded part, and then the injection molding material is poured into the mold to produce the installation bracket.

[0028] By injection molding, the mounting bracket is directly formed on the tube beam, which not only improves the convenience and reliability of assembly, but also increases the flexibility of design, allowing more complex shape design to adapt to different installation requirements. In this way, it can not only effectively integrate various functional components, but also further reduce the overall weight of the detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks.

[0029] In the related art, each car body of different widths needs to design and manufacture a dedicated instrument panel tube beam separately. Each car model needs to design a separate mold and a separate production process, which not only increases the initial development cost, but also increases the subsequent production cost.

[0030] Moreover, the mounting bracket of the instrument panel is manufactured through welding, stamping and other processes, which are not only complicated but also prone to dimensional deviation.

[0031] The detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks in the embodiment of the present invention divides the instrument panel tube beam into a main tube beam 1 and a secondary tube beam 2, and uniformly designs the main tube beam 1 and the injection-molded bracket installed on the main tube beam 1, so that it can be applied to the main driver's side of various models under development, thereby reducing the need to design and manufacture a dedicated main tube beam 1 and injection-molded bracket for each model, and only needs to design a set of molds and production processes, thereby reducing production costs. Separate secondary tube beams 2 and installation brackets on the passenger side are designed for different models to match the layout of the passenger side.

[0032] Moreover, the injection-molded bracket is formed on the main tube beam 1 or the auxiliary tube beam 2 by the injection molding process. Compared with the welding and stamping processes, it not only simplifies the production process, but also can effectively ensure the dimensional accuracy of the injection-molded bracket, so that the structure of the main tube beam 1 tends to be consistent, thereby making it easier to achieve commonality and interchangeability between different vehicle models, thereby reducing production costs and improving design and production flexibility.

[0033] Therefore, the detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of low cost and high versatility.

[0034] In some embodiments, the injection molded bracket includes a main body mounting bracket 4, a secondary positioning mounting bracket, a first lower mounting bracket 6 and a second lower mounting bracket 7. The main body mounting bracket 4 is formed on the main pipe beam 1 by injection molding, and the secondary positioning mounting bracket, the first lower mounting bracket 6 and the second lower mounting bracket 7 are all formed on the secondary pipe beam 2 by injection molding.

[0035] Optionally, the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 are made of aluminum alloy, and the injection-molded bracket is made of a composite material, such as PA6+60GF.

[0036] The detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks in the embodiment of the present invention combines the injection-molded bracket with the main tube beam 1 and the auxiliary tube beam 2, thereby combining the composite material with the aluminum alloy material for easy processing.

[0037] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket includes a steering bracket 3 , the steering bracket 3 is made of aluminum alloy, and the steering bracket 3 is welded to the main pipe beam 1 .

[0038] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the steering bracket 3 is made of aluminum alloy, which has good strength and corrosion resistance. The steering bracket 3 is firmly connected to the main beam 1 by welding to ensure the stability and reliability of the steering system. As a result, not only the overall rigidity of the steering system is improved, but also the force and torque can be effectively transmitted to ensure the driver's operation is accurate.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a male joint 101 is provided at one end of the main pipe beam 1, and a plurality of first through holes are provided on the male joint 101; a female joint 201 is provided at one end of the auxiliary pipe beam 2, and a plurality of second through holes are provided on the female joint 201. The male joint 101 is sleeved on the female joint 201, and the plurality of first through holes correspond to the plurality of second through holes one by one, and each first through hole is connected to each second through hole by a rivet 13. In this way, a stable connection between the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 is ensured, which not only improves the strength and rigidity of the connection, but also simplifies the assembly process. By precisely aligning the first through hole and the second through hole, and fixing with the rivet 13, loosening caused by vibration or impact during vehicle driving can be effectively prevented, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the entire instrument panel pipe beam system. In addition, this connection method is also convenient for production and maintenance, and improves the overall assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience.

[0040] In some embodiments, the cross-sections of the male connector 101 and the female connector 201 are both rectangular, the male connector 101 includes four first side walls 102 connected in sequence, the female connector 201 includes four second side walls 202 connected in sequence, each first side wall 102 is provided with at least one first through hole, and each second side wall 202 is provided with at least one second through hole.

[0041] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each first side wall 102 is provided with 1 to 6 first through holes, for example, each first side wall 102 is provided with 1, 3 or 6 first through holes. The number and arrangement of the second through holes are consistent with the number and arrangement of the first through holes.

[0042] The male connector 101 is sleeved on the female connector 201, and the multiple first through holes correspond to the multiple second through holes one by one, and each first through hole is connected to each second through hole by a rivet 13. This design ensures a stable connection between the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2, which not only improves the strength and rigidity of the connection, but also simplifies the assembly process. Through the design of a rectangular cross section, the male connector 101 and the female connector 201 can be precisely aligned to ensure that each through hole can accurately correspond, thereby effectively preventing loosening caused by vibration or impact during vehicle driving. In addition, the male connector 101 and the female connector 201 are designed in a unified manner, so as to facilitate the assembly of the main pipe beam 1 with the auxiliary pipe beam 2 of different models.

[0043] In some embodiments, the detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks also includes a lower support bracket 8, which is connected to the auxiliary tube beam 2. The lower support bracket 8 is used to provide bottom support for the tube beam. The auxiliary tube beam 2 extends along a first direction, and the extension direction of the lower support bracket 8 intersects with the first direction.

[0044] For example, Figure 1As shown, the first direction is the left-right direction in the figure, and the extension direction of the lower support bracket 8 is the up-down direction. As a result, not only the structural stability of the tube beam is enhanced, but also the impact force from the bottom can be effectively dispersed and absorbed during vehicle driving, thereby improving the overall seismic performance and safety. In this way, the combination of the lower support bracket 8 and the auxiliary tube beam 2 ensures the reliability and durability of the instrument panel tube beam under various working conditions.

[0045] In some embodiments, the detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks further includes a front mounting plate 9 , which is connected to the main tube beam 1 .

[0046] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the front mounting plate 9 is fixed to the front end of the main beam 1 to provide additional mounting points and support. This design not only enhances the structural stability of the main beam 1, but also facilitates the installation of various instruments and equipment. By adding the front mounting plate 9, the various components on the instrument panel can be arranged and fixed more flexibly, ensuring that they remain stable during vehicle driving, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency and reliability.

[0047] In some embodiments, the detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks further includes a first controller sheet metal bracket 10 and a second controller sheet metal bracket 11, wherein the first controller sheet metal bracket 10 is detachably connected to the main tube beam 1, and the second controller sheet metal bracket 11 is detachably connected to the auxiliary tube beam 2. Thus, the installation and maintenance of the controller are facilitated. Through the detachable connection mode, the controller sheet metal bracket can be easily disassembled and replaced when necessary, which improves the convenience of maintenance and upgrading.

[0048] In some embodiments, the detachable composite instrument panel tube beam for light trucks also includes a plugging cover 12, which is formed at both ends of the tube beam by injection molding to seal the ends of the tube beam. In this way, not only dust, moisture and other impurities are effectively prevented from entering the interior of the tube beam, but also the sealing and protective performance of the tube beam are enhanced. The plugging cover 12 formed by injection molding is tightly combined with the tube beam to ensure the integrity and aesthetics of the structure. In addition, the use of the plugging cover 12 can also improve the durability and service life of the tube beam, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the entire instrument panel system.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
