[0036] The left steering column mounting bracket module 2 and the right steering column mounting bracket module 6 are responsible for providing installation for the steering column, ensuring the required installation point rigidity requirement, and are also the modules that need to be adjusted in coordination with the different column positions to follow the different sitting positions of the driver in the whole instrument panel beam.
[0037] The middle support module 3 is mainly responsible for installing the air conditioner under the current platform, and the lower part is also connected to the vehicle body floor to realize the required rigidity and strength of the instrument panel beam in the Y direction and the Z direction of the whole vehicle.
[0038] The right main beam module 4 and the left main beam module 7 realize the connection of the left steering column mounting bracket module 2 and the right end plate module 5, so that the instrument panel beam becomes a whole.
[0039] It can be understood that the left main beam module 7 and the right steering column mounting bracket module 6 are used in groups; the right main beam module 4 and the left steering column mounting bracket module 2 are used in groups, and in the left steering mode, that is, when the left steering column mounting bracket module 2 is installed between the left end plate module 1 and the middle support module 3, the right main beam module 4 should be connected between the right end plate module 5 and the middle support module 3 at this time; in the right steering mode, when the left main beam module 7 is installed between the left end plate module 1 and the middle support module 3, the right steering column mounting bracket module 6 should be connected between the right end plate module 5 and the middle support module 3 at this time.
[0040] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the left steering column mounting bracket module 2 and the right steering column mounting bracket module 6 each include a first Y-direction main beam 22 and a steering column mounting bracket installed on the first Y-direction main beam 22, and the steering column mounting bracket is provided with a steering column mounting point 21.

The left end plate module 1 and the right end plate module 5 are provided with a first vehicle body side wall mounting point 11 and a second vehicle body side wall mounting point 51, facilitating installation of the end plate module. As shown in Figure 1 Fig. 1, a split structure of each module in a left-hand mode.
[0044] In the construction of the platform, car models, CROSS models and SUV models are planned, and the corresponding driver sitting positions correspond to three positions, mainly in the Z-direction of the whole vehicle, the low, medium and high sitting positions of the car models, CROSS models and SUV models are sequentially divided into low, medium and high sitting positions. As shown in Figures 4-6 Fig. 2, in order to meet the comfort of the driver's operation of the steering wheel and the steering column, three positions of the steering column and the steering wheel are designed corresponding to different sitting positions.
[0045] At the same time, in order to follow the inside of the firewall and the front floor platform, the air conditioner position remains fixed. The Y-direction size of the vehicle body is also limited in a range, ensuring the unity of the internal space, and accordingly ensuring the Y-direction size of the instrument panel beam fixed. On the basis of the left-hand model, in the planning of the right-hand model in the platform, the steering column is symmetrical to the left-hand, that is, the structure of the left-hand column mounting bracket module 2 and the right-hand column mounting bracket module 6 is symmetrical, and the air conditioner position remains unchanged.
[0046] As shown in Figure 4 Fig. 3, in the left-hand mode, the first Y-direction main beam 22 of the left-hand column mounting bracket module 2 is of the same structure in width, and the two ends thereof are connected with the left end plate module 1 and the second Y-direction main beam 33 through corresponding mounting points, at this time, the main body of the first Y-direction main beam 22 is the same height as the second Y-direction main beam 33, and correspondingly forms a medium sitting position left-hand instrument panel beam 8 and a medium sitting position steering column position 81, which is a medium sitting position left-hand mode, corresponding to the CROSS model.
[0047] As shown in Figure 5 Fig. 4, in the left-hand mode, the right end of the first Y-direction main beam 22 of the left-hand column mounting bracket module 2 gradually extends upward and increases in width, and the two ends thereof are connected with the left end plate module 1 and the second Y-direction main beam 33 through corresponding mounting points, at this time, the main body of the first Y-direction main beam 22 is lower than the second Y-direction main beam 33, and correspondingly forms a low sitting position left-hand instrument panel beam 9 and a low sitting position steering column position 91, which is a low sitting position left-hand mode, corresponding to the car model.
[0048] As shown in Figure 6As shown, in the left-hand mode, the right end of the first Y-direction main beam 22 of the left-hand column mounting bracket module 2 gradually extends downward and increases in width, and the two ends are connected with the left end plate module 1 and the second Y-direction main beam 33 through corresponding mounting points, at this time, the first Y-direction main beam 22 is higher than the second Y-direction main beam 33, and a high-sitting left-hand instrument panel cross beam 10 and a high-sitting steering column position 101 are formed, which is a high-sitting left-hand mode, and corresponds to an SUV vehicle.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, the left-hand column mounting bracket module 2 is used in the left-hand mode, and the right-hand column mounting bracket module 6 is used in the right-hand mode. Figure 7 As shown, in the right-hand mode, the right-hand column mounting bracket module 6 is used in cooperation with the left main beam module 7, the first Y-direction main beam of the right-hand column mounting bracket module 6 also includes three types, and corresponds to the left-hand column mounting bracket module 2, Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, the left-hand column mounting bracket module 2 is used in the left-hand mode, and the right-hand column mounting bracket module 6 is used in the right-hand mode.
[0050] In this embodiment, the instrument panel cross beam is set as a modular structure, combined with the planning of the whole vehicle platform, in the human-machine arrangement of high, medium and low sitting positions, the arrangement positions of the surrounding parts are changed, the instrument panel cross beam is split into multiple modules according to the requirements, different surrounding parts are matched, and the installation with the vehicle body is required to have corresponding rigidity requirements, finally, the performance requirements of the instrument panel cross beam in the whole vehicle, such as NVH and collision safety, are met.
[0051] By using the replaceable characteristics of the injection mold inserts, the instrument panel cross beam is designed as several modules, by modifying only the structure and mold inserts of individual modules, the platform design of the instrument panel cross beam is realized, the structure and mold of the instrument panel cross beam are used to the greatest extent under different sitting positions of the same platform, the development cycle is shortened, and the mold development cost is saved. Combined with the replaceable advantage of the injection mold inserts, the modular design of the structure is carried out, the maximum generalization of the instrument panel cross beams of different sitting positions of each vehicle under the same platform is realized, the development cycle is saved, and the module development cost is saved.
[0052] It can be understood that the X direction of the embodiment represents the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the Y direction represents the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the Z direction represents the up-down direction of the vehicle.
[0053] In a second aspect, a design method of an injection instrument panel cross beam comprises the following steps:
[0054] Combined with the platform planning and considering the difference between left-hand and right-hand, the instrument panel cross beam is divided into five modules, and the functions and mutual relations of the five modules are set.
[0055] Firstly, according to the overall vehicle Y dimension and the X position of the front door opening, the mounting point of the instrument panel cross beam on the body side is agreed as one of the hard points of the interface between the body and the instrument panel cross beam in the platform. After the mounting point and mounting surface of the instrument panel cross beam are solidified, the preliminary structure of the left end plate module 1 and the right end plate module 5 can be designed, and the mounting points of the left end plate module 1 and the right end plate module 5 on the body are symmetrical about the body center plane.
[0056] Then, according to the planned air conditioner arrangement position in the platform, the structure of the middle support module 3 is designed. In the design process, the structure of the second Y direction main beam 33 in the upper part needs to take into account the Z direction position of the left end plate module 1 and the right end plate module 5, and at the same time, the Z direction position of the main beam cannot be higher than the upper surface of the air conditioner upper air outlet to avoid interference with the instrument panel cross beam when the instrument panel and the air conditioner are docked later. At the same time, the body floor mounting point 32 is set in the lower part, and the connection point with the body floor is solidified as one of the hard points of the interface between the body and the instrument panel cross beam in the platform.
[0057] After the design of the left end plate module 1 and the middle support module 3 is completed, the structure of the left steering column mounting bracket module 2 is designed to match the steering column position planned in the platform, and three left steering column mounting bracket modules 2 corresponding to the three steering column positions need to be designed. Figures 4-6 As shown in the figure. The left end plate module 1 and the middle support module 3 need to be designed with a fixed interface structure that can match the left and right end structures of the three position left steering column mounting bracket modules 2, and the feasibility of mold insert replacement needs to be considered. The interface form of the left steering column mounting bracket module 2 matched with the steering column is uniform, and the structures of the two sides of the three position left steering column mounting bracket modules 2 are different, which are matched with the fixed left end plate module 1 and the middle support module 3 respectively.
[0058] Finally, based on the existing middle support module 3 and right end plate module 5, the design of the right main beam module 4 is completed. The left and right ends of the right main beam module 4 are matched with the middle support module 3 and the right end plate module 5 respectively, and the matching structure between the modules needs to consider the feasibility of mold insert replacement.
[0059] It needs to be clear that when the left steering instrument panel cross beam is designed according to each module, the final implementation of the middle sitting left steering instrument panel cross beam 8, the low sitting left steering instrument panel cross beam 9 and the high sitting left steering instrument panel cross beam 10 needs to take into account the structure of the right steering instrument panel cross beam in advance. Since the steering column is symmetrical with the left steering and the air conditioner position remains unchanged, the left end plate module 1, the right end plate module 5 and the middle support module 3 are shared by the left and right steering, and the right steering instrument panel cross beam 12 is realized by replacing the right main beam module 4 with the right steering column mounting bracket module 6 and replacing the left steering column mounting bracket module 2 with the left main beam module 7, and the module design of the right steering high, middle and low different sitting positions is equivalent to the left steering scheme.
[0060] The module design of the above cross beam needs to consider solidifying the mounting points of part of the instrument panel and electrical device modules, each vehicle model is used, and the ones that cannot be used can be designed differently by using a live mounting support.
[0061] At this point, in the platform, according to the above design method, a platform injection instrument panel cross beam can be completed by replacing the insert block of the mold, only one set of mold is needed under the same platform to realize the demand of different vehicle models, the structure of the same platform vehicle model is maximized, the mold development cycle is shortened, and finally the development cycle of the instrument panel cross beam and the development cost of the mold tooling are shortened.
[0062] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
