Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The dashboard speaker is the core sound-producing component of the in-vehicle audio-visual system, directly determining the cabin listening experience. It also serves as an interior decoration and acoustic optimization tool, and is widely used in various passenger vehicles.

[0021] In related technologies, the mainstream arrangement of car dashboard speakers mainly includes three structures: embedded, recessed, and stereo. All types of structures are integrated and installed in the corresponding mounting positions on the dashboard by matching the dashboard interior design.

[0022] However, the aforementioned instrument panel speaker mounting structure presents challenges in later maintenance and disassembly, and the mask assembly is easily damaged during the disassembly process.

[0023] Furthermore, for recessed or sunken speakers, their sunken shape and low speaker placement not only affect the internal sound field dispersion effect but also fail to highlight the speaker's luxurious feel.

[0024] Based on this, combined Figures 1-3 This application proposes an instrument panel assembly, including: an instrument panel body 100, a mask assembly 200, and at least one speaker 300.

[0025] The instrument panel body 100 serves as a support base for mounting the speaker 300 and various instrument components. A mounting groove 124 is provided on a first surface S1 on one side of the instrument panel body 100, and at least one speaker 300 is located within the mounting groove 124. A mask assembly 200 covers at least a portion of the opening of the mounting groove 124, and the mask assembly 200 has sound-transmitting holes corresponding to the area of ​​the speaker 300.

[0026] The mask assembly 200 includes a first bracket 210 and a mask body 220. At least a portion of the first bracket 210 is embedded in a mounting groove 124 and is detachably connected to the mounting groove 124. The mask body 220 covers the side of the first bracket 210 opposite to the mounting groove 124 and is connected to the first bracket 210.

[0027] In a direction parallel to the first surface S1, there is a first gap G1 between the outer peripheral side of the first bracket 210 and the side wall of the mounting groove 124.

[0028] During installation, first, cover the side of the first bracket 210 away from the mounting groove 124 with the mask body 220, and connect the mask body 220 to the first bracket 210. Then, connect the first bracket 210 to the mounting groove 124, thus completing the installation of the entire mask assembly 200. During disassembly, insert a disassembly tool between the mask assembly 200 and the mounting groove 124, and pry the first bracket 210. This quickly releases the detachable connection between the first bracket 210 and the mounting groove 124, allowing the first bracket 210 to pull the mask body 220 away from the mounting groove 124, making disassembly convenient and quick.

[0029] In addition, during disassembly, the first bracket 210 and the mask body 220 are disassembled simultaneously, and the disassembly tool is positioned on the first bracket 210, so the mask body 220 will not be damaged, nor will the speaker 300 be damaged.

[0030] In summary, this application creates a first gap G1 between the first bracket and the mounting groove, and the mask body protrudes outside the mounting groove. During disassembly, a disassembly tool is inserted between the first bracket and the mounting groove, and the first bracket is pried open. This allows the detachable connection between the first bracket and the mounting groove to be quickly released, so that the first bracket can pull the mask body away from the mounting groove. Disassembly is convenient and quick.

[0031] In some possible implementations, the outer edge of the mask body 220 protrudes from the outer periphery of the first bracket 210, and the first bracket 210 protrudes out of the mounting groove 124 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface S1.

[0032] The face shield body 220 covers the side of the first bracket 210 opposite to the mounting groove 124. In a direction parallel to the first surface S1, the outer edge of the face shield body 220 protrudes beyond the outer periphery of the first bracket 210. In a direction perpendicular to the first surface S1, the first bracket 210 protrudes into the mounting groove 124. In other words, the face shield body 220 and the instrument panel body 100 are two independent visual surfaces, giving the face shield body 220 a floating visual effect and effectively enhancing the refinement and aesthetics of the entire instrument panel assembly.

[0033] In some possible implementations, the outer edge of the orthographic projection of the mask body 220 onto the reference plane lies within the orthographic projection of the side wall of the mounting groove 124 onto the reference plane.

[0034] Thus, when the mask body 220 is viewed from above in a direction perpendicular to the first surface S1, the mask body 220 completely covers the gap between the first bracket 210 and the mounting groove 124, meaning that the assembly gap between the first bracket 210 and the mounting groove 124 inside is not visible, resulting in better aesthetics.

[0035] In some possible implementations, combining Figure 4 and Figure 5 The angle between the side wall of the mounting groove 124 and the bottom of the mounting groove 124 is an obtuse angle; in the direction perpendicular to the first surface S1, there is a second gap G2 between the outer edge of the mask body 220 and the side wall of the mounting groove 124.

[0036] The angle between the side wall of the mounting groove 124 and the bottom of the mounting groove 124 is an obtuse angle, and the opening of the mounting groove 124 expands outward. In this way, in the direction perpendicular to the first surface S1, the second gap G2 between the outer edge of the mask body 220 and the side wall of the mounting groove 124 can be seen, rather than the gap between the first bracket 210 and the bottom of the mounting groove 124. From the driver's perspective, the assembly gap between the first bracket 210 and the mounting groove 124 inside is not visible, which improves the aesthetics.

[0037] In related technologies, since the mask body 220 is embedded in the mounting groove 124, a high installation accuracy is required between the mask body 220 and the mounting groove 124. In this application, the mask body 220 is equivalent to covering the first bracket 210 and protruding from the mounting groove 124. In this way, the assembly requirements of the mask body 220 can be reduced and the assembly efficiency can be improved when installing the mask body 220.

[0038] In some possible implementations, the angle between the outer periphery of the first bracket 210 and the side of the mask body 220 facing the first bracket 210 is an acute angle; in the direction perpendicular to the first surface S1, there is a third gap G3 between the outer edge of the side of the first bracket 210 facing the mask body 220 and the side wall of the mounting groove 124.

[0039] That is, the outer periphery of the first bracket 210 is inclined to the face mask body 220, and the inclination direction of the first bracket 210 is the same as the inclination direction of the side wall of the mounting groove 124. In this way, the gap between the first bracket 210 and the bottom of the mounting groove 124 can also be covered by the first bracket 210, ensuring the aesthetics of the entire instrument panel assembly.

[0040] Combination Figure 5The first bracket 210 is an annular bracket, which has a first side frame portion 211 and a second side frame portion 212 disposed opposite to each other in a first direction. The length of the first side frame portion 211 in a second direction is greater than the length of the second side frame portion 212 in a second direction. The second direction intersects the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction are respectively parallel to the first surface S1. The first gap G1 between the first side frame portion 211 and the mounting groove 124 is greater than the first gap G1 between the second side frame portion 212 and the mounting groove 124.

[0041] In this way, when the dashboard assembly is installed on the vehicle, one side of the second frame portion 212 is close to the windshield of the vehicle. Thus, people inside the vehicle can only see one side of the first frame portion 211. Therefore, the first gap G1 between the first frame portion 211 and the mounting groove 124 can be larger than the first gap G1 between the second frame portion 212 and the mounting groove 124. This ensures that the mask body 220 presents a more obvious floating effect at the position of the first frame portion 211. The first gap between the second frame portion 212 and the mounting groove 124 is smaller, which can reduce the space occupied by the entire mask assembly.

[0042] In some possible implementations, combining Figure 6 and Figure 7 At least one speaker 300 is detachably connected to the side of the mask body 220 facing the mounting groove 124 and is located within the annular space enclosed by the first bracket 210.

[0043] In this way, the speaker 300 can be pre-installed inside the mask body 220. When assembling the mask assembly 200, it is only necessary to cover the mounting slot 124 together with the speaker 300. The annular first bracket 210 can form a uniform support and limit from all sides of the speaker 300. When the vehicle vibrates or the ambient temperature changes, the speaker 300 is restrained by the bracket from all sides and will not shift, thus avoiding the speaker 300 from colliding with surrounding parts and causing abnormal noise in the interior.

[0044] The speaker 300 is placed inside the cavity enclosed by the ring bracket. The ring bracket only serves as an external support structure and will not obstruct the speaker 300 diaphragm or sound outlet. Sound can be transmitted outward through the cover without obstruction, and there will be no problem of volume attenuation or muddy sound quality caused by the bracket obstruction, thus ensuring the acoustic output effect of the speaker 300.

[0045] Furthermore, the first bracket includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion connected in a direction perpendicular to the first surface. The first connecting portion is located on the side of the second connecting portion closer to the mask body, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are set at an angle. The first connecting portion extends out of the mounting groove for connecting the mask body, and the second connecting portion is located inside the mounting groove and is used to fit against the side wall of the mounting groove. In this way, when installing the mask assembly, the mask assembly can be positioned by the cooperation between the second connecting portion and the side wall of the mounting groove, so as to avoid installation deviation of the mask assembly and affect the appearance of the mask body.

[0046] Combination Figure 3 At least one speaker 300 includes a first speaker 310 and a second speaker 320. The first speaker 310 is snapped into the side of the mask assembly 200 facing the mounting groove 124, and the second speaker 320 is connected to the instrument panel body 100 within the mounting groove 124.

[0047] The first speaker 310 can be a tweeter, and the second speaker 320 can be a midrange speaker. The tweeter has extremely strong directivity; sound only travels in a straight line directly in front of the diaphragm, resulting in a narrow diffusion range. If the tweeter is perpendicular to the mask, the sound can only reach a small area directly in front, potentially causing the occupants to experience thin, harsh, and uneven soundstage. Therefore, the tweeter is generally tilted at a certain angle to the mask body 220 to adjust the tweeter's direction and ensure even coverage of the driver and passenger areas.

[0048] Based on this, the tweeter is mounted on the mask body 220, which makes it easier to control the tilt angle of the tweeter relative to the mask body 220, so that the tweeter is installed at a preset angle.

[0049] Furthermore, the first speaker 310 and the second speaker 320 are spaced apart in a plane parallel to the first surface S1.

[0050] This arrangement, by separating the tweeter and midrange speakers within the mask plane and staggering their sound emission points, allows high-frequency and low-frequency sound waves to diffuse into different areas of the vehicle, preventing them from concentrating in a single location and enhancing the stereo effect. Furthermore, the first speaker 310 is mounted on the mask body 220, while the second speaker 320 is mounted inside the mounting slot 124 of the instrument panel body 100. The two speakers 300 are installed separately in two different locations, providing ample independent mounting space. This effectively avoids the problems of limited mounting space and interference / pressure issues that can occur when both speakers 300 are mounted together in the mounting slot 124 or on the mask body 220. Sufficient maneuvering allowance is provided during assembly, reducing the probability of assembly jamming and speaker damage, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0051] In some possible implementations, combining Figure 3 The mask assembly 200 also includes a connecting bracket 230, which is connected to the side of the mask body 220 facing the mounting groove 124, and the first speaker 310 is snapped onto the connecting bracket 230.

[0052] The connecting bracket 230 can be fixed to the mask body 220, and the first speaker 310 is snapped onto the connecting bracket 230. This allows the first speaker 310 to be quickly detached from the connecting bracket 230 after the mask assembly 200 is removed, thanks to the snap-fit ​​mechanism. Furthermore, the absence of interference from the second speaker 320 provides ample space for disassembly of the first speaker 310, facilitating its rapid removal.

[0053] For example, the connecting bracket 230 includes an annular guide portion and an ear portion connected to the outer periphery of the annular guide portion. The ear portion is fixedly connected to the side of the mask body 220 facing the mounting groove 124. Specifically, the ear portion can be connected to the mask body 220 by lamellar welding. The first speaker 310 is fixed inside the annular guide portion.

[0054] Along the circumference of the annular guide portion, multiple slots are spaced apart. Multiple elastic clips 710 are provided on the outer periphery of the first speaker 310. During installation, the multiple elastic clips 710 are aligned one-to-one with the multiple slots, so that the multiple elastic clips 710 and the multiple slots are engaged accordingly. During disassembly, the elastic clips 710 are pressed from the outside of the slots, causing the elastic clips 710 to retract outside the slots, thus disengaging the first speaker 310.

[0055] Of course, in other embodiments, both the first speaker and the second speaker can be installed in the mounting slot. This way, after removing the mask assembly, the first and second speakers can still be exposed, facilitating their removal. For example, the first speaker is directly snapped into the mounting slot; to remove the first speaker, simply disengage its clips from the mounting slot.

[0056] Alternatively, both the first and second speakers can be installed on the side of the mask body facing the mounting slot. In this way, after removing the mask assembly, the first and second speakers can be removed along with the mask assembly. Then, the first and second speakers can be removed separately from the mask body.

[0057] In some possible implementations, combining Figure 3 The instrument panel body 100 includes a plate 110 and a second bracket 120. The plate 110 has an embedding groove 111, and the second bracket 120 is located in the embedding groove 111 and is fixedly connected to the embedding groove 111. The second bracket 120 has a mounting groove 124 recessed toward the embedding groove 111, and the mask assembly 200 is snapped into the second bracket 120.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second bracket 120 can be thermally riveted to the instrument panel body 100 within the embedding groove 111. This prevents the first bracket 210 from pulling the second bracket 120 out of the embedding groove 111 when the first bracket 210 is lifted. Simultaneously, the engagement between the second bracket 120, built into the embedding groove 111, and the mask assembly 200 facilitates the use of a one-piece injection molded structure for the instrument panel body 100, simplifying the mold processing difficulty.

[0059] In some possible implementations, the second bracket 120 includes a base plate portion 121 and a side plate portion 122 surrounding the base plate portion 121. The side plate portion 122 is fitted to the side wall of the embedding groove 111, and the base plate portion 121 is connected to the bottom of the embedding groove 111. The first bracket 210 is detachably connected to the base plate portion 121, and a first gap G1 is formed between the outer periphery of the first bracket 210 and the side plate portion 122.

[0060] In this embodiment, the side plate portion 122 fits against the side wall of the embedding groove 111 to achieve circumferential positioning, and the bottom plate portion 121 is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 100 at the bottom of the embedding groove 111, so that the second bracket 120 will not shift vertically or horizontally. Under long-term vehicle bumps and vibrations, the bracket is not easy to loosen, providing a stable and reliable snap-fit ​​reference for the mask assembly 200, and avoiding the mask from warping, loosening, or making abnormal noises. Moreover, the mask assembly 200 is snapped together by the first bracket 210 and the bottom plate portion 121. All the forces generated by disassembly, assembly, and vibration during vehicle operation are concentrated on the bottom plate portion 121 of the second bracket 120. The side plate portion 122 only serves to fit and limit, and will not directly transmit external forces to the thin-walled side wall of the embedding groove 111, effectively preventing the instrument panel body 100 from snapping, the groove from cracking and deforming, and extending the service life of the instrument panel assembly.

[0061] There is a gap between the edge of the mask assembly 200 and the side plate 122. During maintenance and disassembly, the disassembly tool can be inserted into the gap to directly pry the engagement position between the first bracket 210 and the base plate 121. There is sufficient operating space, and there is no need to forcibly pry the mask, which can reduce the risk of cosmetic damage such as scratches and breakage of the mask.

[0062] Furthermore, the second bracket 120 also includes a flange 123, which is located on the side of the side panel 122 opposite to the bottom plate 121. The flange 123 forms a decorative metal ring around the opening of the insert groove 111. The outer periphery of the flange 123 extends beyond the mask body 220, meaning that from the driver's perspective, the outer periphery of the mask body 220 has a decorative flange 123. The flange 123 enhances the overall aesthetics of the instrument panel assembly. The second bracket 120 can be manufactured using a chrome-plated silver injection molding process, which gives the flange 123 a metallic texture.

[0063] In some possible implementations, at least one speaker 300 includes a second speaker 320 connected to the side of the base plate 121 facing the mask assembly 200.

[0064] In this embodiment, the base plate 121 has at least one clearance hole, and the at least one clearance hole is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with at least one speaker 300.

[0065] For example, at least one speaker 300 includes a first speaker 310 and a second speaker 320, and at least one corresponding clearance hole includes a first clearance hole and a second clearance hole. The first clearance hole is used to avoid interference between the first speaker 310 and the base plate portion 121, and the second clearance hole is used to avoid interference between the second speaker 320 and the base plate portion 121.

[0066] The outer periphery of the second speaker 320 can be fixedly connected to the base plate 121 by multiple screws 321. After removing the mask assembly 200, the second speaker 320 and the screws used to fix the second speaker 320 can be directly exposed, so the screws 321 can be directly removed, thereby removing the second speaker 320. During the disassembly process, since the outer periphery of the second speaker 320 does not have the first speaker 310, it is convenient to quickly disassemble the second speaker 320 in a larger space.

[0067] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 8 One of the first bracket 210 and the base plate portion 121 has a first guide post 400, and the other has a first guide groove 500. At least a portion of the first guide post 400 is inserted into the first guide groove 500, and the extending direction of the first guide post 400 is perpendicular to the first surface S1; and / or, one of the first bracket 210 and the base plate portion 121 has a first snap-fit ​​structure 600, and the other has a second snap-fit ​​structure 640, and the first snap-fit ​​structure 600 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 640 snap together.

[0068] For example, the base plate 121 has a first guide groove 500 and a second snap-fit ​​structure 640, and the first bracket 210 has a first guide post 400 and a first snap-fit ​​structure 600. The first guide groove 500 cooperates with the first guide post 400 to limit the relative position of the base plate 121 and the first bracket 210. The first snap-fit ​​structure 600 snaps with the second snap-fit ​​structure 640 to lock the base plate 121 and the first bracket 210.

[0069] Specifically, two first guide grooves 500 can be formed on the base plate 121, and correspondingly, two first guide posts 400 are provided at the bottom of the first bracket 210. The two first guide posts 400 are respectively used to extend into the two first guide grooves 500, that is, the base plate 121 and the first bracket 210 are positioned through two positioning points. In this way, the pulling force generated by driving bumps and the removal and installation of the mask is shared by the two guide structures, and the force is evenly distributed, so that there is no single point stress concentration. It can limit the lateral movement of the first bracket 210 relative to the base plate 121, eliminate the interior noise caused by the friction between the first bracket 210 and the base plate 121, and improve the long-term stability of the instrument panel assembly.

[0070] Furthermore, there can be multiple first snap-fit ​​structures 600 and second snap-fit ​​structures 640. For example, six second snap-fit ​​structures 640 are sequentially provided on the outer periphery of the base plate portion 121 near the side plate portion 122, and correspondingly, six first snap-fit ​​structures 600 are provided on the first bracket 210, so that the first snap-fit ​​structures 600 and the second snap-fit ​​structures 640 can be snapped together one by one.

[0071] In this embodiment, when installing the first bracket 210, the first guide post 400 is aligned with the first guide groove 500, and then the mask assembly 200 is pressed. The first guide post 400 slides in the first guide groove 500, and the first snap-fit ​​structure 600 snaps into the second snap-fit ​​structure 640, thereby realizing the quick connection between the mask assembly 200 and the second bracket 120.

[0072] Furthermore, the first guide post 400 includes a column structure 410 and multiple guide ribs 420 connected to the outer periphery of the column structure 410. The extension direction of the column structure 410 is perpendicular to the plane of the base plate portion 121. Along the axial direction of the first guide post 400 and away from the first bracket 210, the guide ribs 420 gradually decrease in size along the radial direction of the column structure 410. That is, the tip size of the first guide post 400 is smaller and the tail size is larger. In this way, when pressing down for assembly, the smaller tip can first extend into the first guide groove 500, achieving the effect of automatic correction and guidance. Even if the first bracket 210 has a slight offset, it can gradually slide into the first guide groove 500 along the guide ribs 420, greatly reducing the difficulty of manual alignment and improving the assembly efficiency of the production line. Furthermore, the larger root dimension of the guide rib 420 increases the connection cross-section between the first guide post 400 and the first bracket 210, enhancing the structural strength of the root of the first guide post 400. This prevents bending or breakage due to stress during the assembly and disassembly of the face shield assembly, extending product lifespan and reducing the frequency of after-sales maintenance and replacement. Simultaneously, the first guide post 400 only contacts the inner wall of the first guide groove 500 through the partial outer edges of multiple guide ribs 420, resulting in a contact area far smaller than a complete cylindrical surface. This significantly reduces the probability of friction during vehicle vibration, eliminating the generation of subtle plastic friction noise and providing excellent noise reduction.

[0073] Of course, in other embodiments, the outer diameter of the column structure can gradually decrease along the axis of the first guide post and away from the first support, while the size of the guide rib remains unchanged. In this way, the first guide post can also present a structure with a small tip size and a large tail size.

[0074] Specifically, four guide ribs 420 are provided on the outer periphery of the column structure 410. The four guide ribs 420 are arranged in pairs opposite each other, and the angle between any two adjacent guide ribs 420 is 90°. That is, the four guide ribs 420 are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the column structure 410. This is beneficial for the first guide groove 500 to limit the first guide column 400 in all directions under the guidance of the guide ribs 420.

[0075] The first snap-fit ​​structure 600 protrudes from the side of the first bracket 210 near the base plate 121. The first snap-fit ​​structure 600 includes a first connecting portion 610 and a second connecting portion 620 disposed opposite to each other, a snap-fit ​​portion 630 connecting the first connecting portion 610 and the second connecting portion 620, and an elastic buckle 631 connected to the snap-fit ​​portion 630. The snap-fit ​​portion 630 has a relief groove, and the elastic buckle 631 can extend out of the relief groove or be embedded in the relief groove.

[0076] The base plate 121 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​structure 640, which is a snap-fit ​​groove. When assembling the face mask assembly 200, the side of the face mask assembly 200 with the first bracket 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 124, so that the first snap-fit ​​structure 600 passes into the snap-fit ​​groove. During the assembly process, the elastic buckle 631 is squeezed back into the clearance groove by the side wall of the snap-fit ​​groove. After the elastic buckle 631 has completely passed through the snap-fit ​​groove, the elastic buckle 631 returns to its original position and extends out, forming a snap-fit ​​fixation with the base plate 121.

[0077] Combination Figure 9 One of the plate body 110 and the bottom plate portion 121 has a second guide post 810, and the other has a second guide groove 820. At least a portion of the second guide post 810 is inserted into the second guide groove 820, and the extending direction of the second guide post 810 is perpendicular to the first surface S1; and / or, one of the plate body 110 and the bottom plate portion 121 has a third snap-fit ​​structure 830, and the other has a fourth snap-fit ​​structure 840, and the third snap-fit ​​structure 830 and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 840 snap-fit ​​together.

[0078] The structure of the second guide post 810 can be the same as that of the first guide post 400, the structure of the second guide groove 820 can be the same as that of the first guide groove 500, the structure of the third snap-fit ​​structure 830 can be the same as that of the first snap-fit ​​structure 600, and the structure of the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 840 can be the same as that of the second snap-fit ​​structure 640.

[0079] For example, the second guide post 810 and the third snap-fit ​​structure 830 are located on the base plate 121, and the second guide groove 820 and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 840 are located on the plate 110. Before the second bracket 120 is fixedly connected to the plate 110, the second bracket 120 is positioned by the cooperation of the second guide groove 820 and the second guide post 810; at the same time, the second bracket 120 is pre-positioned and fixed by the interlocking of the third snap-fit ​​structure 830 and the fourth snap-fit ​​structure 840; finally, the second bracket 120 is fastened to the plate 110 by welding or screw locking.

[0080] Combination Figure 10One of the mask body 220 and the first bracket 210 has a third guide post 910 and the other has a third guide groove 920, at least a portion of the third guide post 910 is inserted into the third guide groove 920; and / or, one of the mask body 220 and the first bracket 210 has a fifth snap-fit ​​structure 930 and the other has a sixth snap-fit ​​structure 940, the fifth snap-fit ​​structure 930 and the sixth snap-fit ​​structure 940 snap-fit ​​together.

[0081] Among them, the structure of the third guide post 910 can be the same as the structure of the first guide post 400, the structure of the third guide groove 920 can be the same as the structure of the first guide groove 500, the structure of the fifth snap-fit ​​structure 930 can be the same as the structure of the first snap-fit ​​structure 600, and the structure of the sixth snap-fit ​​structure 940 can be the same as the structure of the second snap-fit ​​structure 640.

[0082] For example, the third guide post 910 and the fifth snap-fit ​​structure 930 can be disposed on the mask body 220, and the first guide groove 500 and the sixth snap-fit ​​structure 940 can be disposed on the first bracket 210.

[0083] Combination Figure 11 The bottom plate 121 is provided with a seventh snap-fit ​​structure 700 on the side opposite to the side plate 122. The seventh snap-fit ​​structure 700 is used to snap the entire instrument panel assembly to the body structure.

[0084] The seventh snap-fit ​​structure 700 includes a connecting plate 720 and elastic snaps 710 respectively connected to both ends of the connecting plate 720 along a first direction. The connecting plate 720 is connected to the base plate. Along a direction perpendicular to the first surface S1, one end of the two elastic snaps 710 is connected to each other through the connecting plate 720, and the other end extends towards each other. The first direction is parallel to the first surface. Each of the two elastic snaps 710 is provided with a spring piece 715 extending towards each other, and the spring piece 715 is used to snap into a slot on the vehicle body structure.

[0085] The elastic buckle 710 includes a first side plate 711, a first bent plate 712, a second side plate 713, and a second bent plate 714. The two first side plates 711 of the two elastic buckles 710 are respectively connected to both ends of the connecting plate 720 along a first direction. The ends of the two first side plates 711 facing away from the connecting plate 720 extend towards each other. One end of the first bent plate 712 is connected to the first side plate 711, and the other end is connected to the second side plate 713. The first bent plate 712 has a U-shaped structure. The second bent plate 714 is connected to the end of the second side plate 713 facing away from the first bent plate 712, and the second bent plate 714 bends towards the side closer to the first side plate 711. For the same elastic buckle 710, the first side plate 711 has a through hole. One end of the spring piece 715 is connected to the second side plate 713, and the other end passes through the through hole to extend towards the other elastic buckle 710.

[0086] In this way, the load applied to the elastic clip 710 can be distributed layer by layer by the first side plate 711, the first bending plate 712, the second side plate 713, and the second bending plate 714, rather than being concentrated at a single point. When the instrument panel assembly is repeatedly disassembled, the elastic stress on the elastic clip 710 is evenly distributed in each bending section, and the clip is not prone to permanent deformation or breakage failure. It can still maintain a stable clamping effect after long-term and repeated disassembly and assembly, reducing the maintenance cost of replacing the clip after sales.

[0087] Furthermore, the base plate 121 has mounting holes, and the connecting plate 720 extends from both ends of the connecting plate 720 along the second direction to the two elastic buckles 710. The dimension of the connecting plate 720 along the second direction is larger than the dimension of the mounting hole along the second direction. The second direction is parallel to the first surface and intersects with the first direction. Thus, when installing the elastic buckles 710, the two elastic buckles 710 can be squeezed along the first direction, so that the dimension of the two elastic buckles 710 in the first direction is reduced and they pass through the mounting holes. At this time, since the length of the connecting plate 720 along the second direction is larger than the corresponding dimension of the mounting hole, it will be blocked by the surface of the base plate 121 and cannot pass through together. The connecting plate 720 and the elastic buckles 710 are automatically separated on both sides of the thickness of the base plate 121. After assembly, the two elastic buckles 710 are released, and the elastic buckles 710 spring back and open to complete the limit locking. The installation process of the second snap-fit ​​structure 640 is simple, eliminating the need for fixing processes such as screws and heat fusion, and greatly improving the pre-assembly efficiency of the second bracket 120.

[0088] During the assembly of the dashboard assembly, the first speaker 310 is first snapped onto the connecting bracket 230. Then, the connecting bracket 230 is welded onto the mask body 220 via reinforcing ribs. This achieves integrated assembly of the first speaker 310, the connecting bracket 230, and the mask body 220. The integrated structure is then snapped onto the first bracket 210, completing the pre-assembly of the mask assembly 200. If the first speaker 310 malfunctions later and requires repair or replacement, the entire mask assembly 200 can be disassembled, and the snap-fit ​​points of the first speaker 310 can be released for inspection and replacement, making maintenance convenient.

[0089] After the mask assembly 200 is pre-installed, the second bracket 120 is fixed to the instrument panel body 100 by hot riveting and welding. Then, the second speaker 320 is locked and assembled to the second bracket 120 using screws 321. Subsequently, the instrument panel wiring harness is connected to the second speaker 320 and the first speaker 310 respectively by snap-fit. Finally, the mask assembly 200 is assembled to the second bracket 120 by snap-fit, thus completing the complete installation of the entire instrument panel assembly.

[0090] Secondly, this application also proposes a vehicle including the aforementioned dashboard assembly.

[0091] In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise expressly defined.

[0092] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
