Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle engineering, and in particular to a bracket assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the size of central control entertainment screens in new energy vehicles has become larger and larger, and as the forms of screen human-computer interaction (such as rotating screens and retractable screens) become more and more diverse, more and more screen support brackets are made of cast aluminum + spray paint to ensure that they can meet the appearance effect of the bracket and the supporting strength of the screen.

[0003] However, due to the characteristics of cast aluminum parts, in order to improve the adhesion of the paint and avoid the problem of falling off or poor adhesion after painting, the following pre-treatment processes are generally required before painting:

[0004] 1. Pre-degreasing: Use a degreasing agent to remove grease from the surface;

[0005] 2. Degreasing: further remove grease;

[0006] 3. Wash with water: wash away the degreaser and grease;

[0007] 4. Pickling: remove oxide film;

[0008] 5. Water washing: clean out impurities produced by pickling;

[0009] 6. Neutralization: adjust pH value to prevent corrosion;

[0010] 7. Surface adjustment: adjust the surface state to improve the phosphating effect;

[0011] 8. Phosphating: forming a phosphating film to improve the adhesion of the coating;

[0012] 9. Passivation: protect the phosphating film and prevent corrosion.

[0042] 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.

[0043] The following describes a bracket assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 - 5 The support assembly 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a support plate 1 and an outer shell 2. For example, the support plate 1 is a metal part, specifically, the support plate 1 can be a cast iron part or a cast aluminum part; this can ensure that the support assembly 100 has sufficient strength and rigidity to support the central control screen, thereby improving the reliability of the support assembly 100. The support surface 13 is used to support the central control screen of the vehicle, and the surface of the support plate 1 connected to the central control screen is the support surface 13.

[0045] The outer shell 2 is a plastic part, for example, the outer shell 2 can be a polyethylene part, a polypropylene part, a polystyrene part, a polyvinyl chloride part, a polyamide part or a polycarbonate part. The outer shell 2 is connected to the surface of the support plate 1 on the side away from the support surface. For example, the outer shell 2 can be connected to the support plate 1 by a fastener, or the outer shell 2 can be connected to the support plate 1 by a buckle, or the outer shell 2 and the support plate 1 can be formed into an integral part by injection molding.

[0046] This can cause the center control screen and the exterior shell 2 to block the support plate 1, hiding the support plate 1, so that the support plate 1 does not need to be painted, and only the exterior shell 2 of the bracket assembly 100 needs to be painted. Since the exterior shell is a plastic part and there is no grease on the plastic part after production, compared with the material selection form of the screen support bracket using cast aluminum + painting, this can eliminate the need for pre-degreasing, degreasing, water washing, pickling, water washing, neutralization, surface conditioning, phosphating, passivation and other pretreatment processes for the exterior shell 2. Therefore, after the processing of the exterior shell 2 is completed, the spraying process can be directly carried out on the exterior shell 2 to form a color paint layer, improving the production efficiency of the exterior shell 2 and reducing the production cost of the bracket assembly 100.

[0047] Moreover, since the support plate 1 is a non-appearance part and not visible, the manufacturing precision of the support plate 1 does not need to be set too high, which can reduce the manufacturing precision of the mold for the support plate 1, reduce the control links in the manufacturing process of the support plate 1, and lower the production cost of the support plate 1.

[0048] For example, when painting the exterior shell 2, the surface of the exterior shell 2 facing away from the support plate 1 can be painted to reduce the painting cost. Or all surfaces of the exterior shell 2 can be painted to reduce the risk of the edge line of the paint surface being observed and meet the needs of users for a high visual experience.

[0049] According to the bracket assembly 100 of the present invention, by providing the exterior shell 2 on the surface of the support plate 1 facing away from the center control screen and setting the exterior shell 2 as a plastic part, when painting the support assembly, only the exterior shell 2 needs to be painted, and the support plate 1 does not need to be painted. The exterior shell 2 can be directly painted, reducing the pre-degreasing, degreasing, water washing, pickling, water washing, neutralization, surface conditioning, phosphating, passivation and other pretreatment processes for the support assembly before painting, which can improve the production speed of the bracket assembly 100 and reduce the production cost of the bracket assembly 100.

[0050] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 and Figure 6 , according to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the bracket assembly 100 further includes a rotating base 3. The rotating base 3 includes a base body 31 and a rotating shaft 32. For example, the base body 31 can be connected to the dashboard skeleton of the vehicle, and the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably disposed through the base body 31, and the support plate 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 32. This can enable the support plate 1 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 32, and enable the center control screen to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 32, meeting the user's usage requirement for the rotatable center control screen.

[0051] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7, in some alternative embodiments of the present invention, a wire routing hole 321 is formed in the rotating shaft 32. The wire routing hole 321 extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32 and penetrates through the rotating shaft 32. The exterior shell 2 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the rotating shaft 32, and a mating hole 12 adapted to the wire routing hole 321 is formed on the support plate 1. In this way, the wire harness can pass through the wire routing hole 321 and be connected to the central control screen, avoiding the exposure of the wire harness, effectively ensuring the safety of the wire harness, and at the same time making the instrument panel of the vehicle relatively simple, meeting the user's demand for a high visual experience.

[0052] Refer to Figures 1 - 4 , in some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the exterior shell 2 includes a body portion 21 and a shaft sleeve 24. The shaft sleeve 24 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 32 and extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32 to the seat body 31. The body portion 21 is connected to the shaft sleeve 24, and the body portion 21 is connected to the support plate 1. In this way, the shaft sleeve 24 can be used to block the rotating shaft 32, preventing the exposure of the rotating shaft 32, so that the rotating shaft 32 does not need to be painted, effectively reducing the production cost of the bracket assembly 100.

[0053] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 , in some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the rotating shaft 32 includes a connected first section 322 and a second section 323. The first section 322 is disposed within the seat body 31, and the second section 323 extends out of the seat body 31. A flange 324 is provided on the first section 322, and the shaft sleeve 24 abuts against the flange 324 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32. In this way, the flange 324 and the support plate 1 can be used to limit the shaft sleeve 24, that is, to limit the exterior shell 2 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32, so that the exterior shell 2 does not need to be connected to the rotating shaft 32 through fasteners, facilitating the assembly of the bracket assembly 100, improving the assembly efficiency of the bracket assembly 100, and reducing the production cost of the bracket assembly 100.

[0054] Refer to Figures 1 - 4 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, the exterior shell 2 includes a body portion 21 and a wrapping portion 22. The body portion 21 is connected to the support plate 1, and the wrapping portion 22 surrounds the circumferential outer edge of the body portion 21 and is connected to the body portion 21. The wrapping portion 22 protrudes from the support plate 1 in the thickness direction of the body portion 21. Specifically, after the assembly between the bracket assembly 100 and the central control screen is completed, the wrapping portion 22 can abut against the central control screen. In this way, the exterior shell 2 can more effectively block the support plate 1, reducing the risk of exposure of the support plate 1, making the color between the bracket assembly 100 and the central control screen relatively uniform, and effectively meeting the user's demand for color consistency.

[0055] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the main body portion 21 connected to the support plate 1 is the first surface 211. The first surface 211 is recessed in a direction away from the support plate 1 to form a clamping recess 212. The cross-section of the clamping recess 212 is non-circular. For example, the cross-section of the clamping recess 212 can be polygonal, and the cross-section of the clamping recess 212 can be semi-circular; Refer to Figure 5 , the support plate 1 has a clamping protrusion 11 protruding towards the main body portion 21. The clamping protrusion 11 is adapted to the clamping recess 212, and the clamping protrusion 11 penetrates through the clamping recess 212. This can limit the positions of the support plate 1 and the main body portion 21 relative to each other, making the relative positioning of the support plate 1 and the exterior shell 2 reliable, enabling the exterior shell 2 to reliably shield the support plate 1, and effectively improving the reliability of the bracket assembly 100.

[0056] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the edge wrapping portion 22 and the main body portion 21 form a corner at their connected position. The exterior shell 2 further includes a rib plate 23. One end of the rib plate 23 is connected to the edge wrapping portion 22 and is away from the corner, and the other end of the rib plate 23 is connected to the main body portion 21 and is away from the corner. For example, there can be multiple rib plates 23, and the multiple rib plates 23 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the corner. This can improve the structural strength of the exterior shell 2, reduce the risk of the exterior shell 2 deforming or even being damaged under force, and improve the reliability of the exterior shell 2.

[0057] Refer to Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the rib plate 23 is recessed in a direction away from the support plate 1 to form a limiting groove 231, and the support plate 1 penetrates through the limiting groove 231. This can enable the exterior shell 2 to limit the support plate 1 in the thickness direction of the support plate 1 by using the limiting groove 231, more reliably relatively position the exterior shell 2 and the support plate 1, and improve the reliability of the support plate 1.

[0058] The vehicle according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: the bracket assembly 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention above. For example, the vehicle can be an automobile. For example, the bracket assembly 100 can be connected to the dashboard skeleton of the vehicle.

[0059] For the vehicle according to the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned bracket assembly 100, the exterior shell 2 of the bracket assembly 100 can be directly painted, which can improve the production speed of the bracket assembly 100, reduce the production cost of the bracket assembly 100, and reduce the production cost of the vehicle.
