[0031] The air conditioning assembly 20 can be fixedly connected to the cross beam 11 through the air conditioning connection portion 121. The air conditioning mounting bracket 12 is disposed on the first end, and can be an end surface close to the first end, or can be disposed on the end surface of the first end.
[0032] The T-BOX adapter bracket 13 can be selectively disposed on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12 and avoid the air conditioner connecting portion 121 .
[0033] The T-BOX optional component 30 is arranged on the crossbeam 11 via the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 .
[0034] That is, the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 can be selectively arranged on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12 as needed. For example, for a vehicle that does not need to install the T-BOX optional component 30, the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 may not be arranged, and the air conditioner component 20 can be directly connected to the air conditioner mounting bracket 12. For a vehicle that needs to install the T-BOX optional component 30, the T-BOX optional component 30 is installed on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12 by arranging the T-BOX adapter bracket 13.
[0035] The T-BOX adapter bracket 13 is arranged on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12 in any manner, and can be welded on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12.

In another embodiment, the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 can also be fixed to the air conditioner mounting bracket 12 by fasteners.
[0036] The T-BOX adapter bracket 13 avoids the air conditioning connection portion 121 , which is intended to prevent the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 and the air conditioning assembly 20 from interfering with each other.
[0037] The instrument panel cross beam assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes a cross beam 11, an air conditioner mounting bracket 12 having an air conditioner connecting portion 121, and a T-BOX adapter bracket 13. By selectively setting the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12, a suitable installation position can be provided for the T-BOX optional component 30 without changing the installation structure of the air conditioner component 20, thereby making the instrument panel cross beam assembly 10 compatible with both automobiles that need to be equipped with a T-BOX and automobiles that do not need to be equipped with a T-BOX, thereby shortening the development cycle of the automobile and reducing the production cost.
[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The air conditioner mounting bracket 12 can be arranged on one side of the beam 11 along a first direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the length direction.
[0039] The first direction may be the direction in which the vehicle is traveling. Since the air conditioning assembly 20 is disposed on the side of the cross beam 11 close to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling, the air conditioning mounting bracket 12 is disposed on the side of the cross beam 11 along the first direction to facilitate the installation of the air conditioning assembly 20 .
[0040] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The air conditioning mounting bracket 12 may include an extension section 122 connected to the beam 11 and a mounting section 123 located on the side of the extension section 122 away from the beam 11, the extension section 122 extends in a direction away from the beam 11, the mounting section 123 extends in a second direction, and the air conditioning connecting portion 121 is arranged on the mounting section 123; wherein the second direction intersects with the length direction of the beam 11.
[0041] The extension section 122 extends in a direction away from the cross beam 11, that is, the air conditioning mounting bracket 12 can protrude from the cross beam 11 in the direction of the vehicle moving forward, so as to facilitate the installation of the air conditioning assembly 20 and prevent the air conditioning assembly 20 from interfering with the installation of other components. The T-BOX adapter bracket 13 can be optionally installed on the installation section 123.
[0042] Please continue reading Figure 2 The air conditioning connection portion 121 may be disposed on a side of the mounting section 123 close to the second end.
[0043] By setting the air conditioning connection part 121 on the side of the installation section 123 close to the second end, installation space for the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 can be reserved on the installation section 123, that is, the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 can be set on one side of the air conditioning assembly 20.
[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The T-BOX adapter bracket 13 may have a first avoidance opening 13 a. When the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 is set on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12, the air conditioner connecting portion 121 is exposed at the first avoidance opening 13 a.
[0045] By providing the first avoidance opening 13 a , the structure of the dashboard cross beam assembly 10 can be made more compact without interfering with the assembly and disassembly of the air conditioning assembly 20 by the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 .
[0046] For example, see Figure 2 The T-BOX adapter bracket 13 may include a fixing portion 131 and two adapter portions 132 spaced apart and arranged on the same side of the fixing portion 131 , and the fixing portion 131 and the two adapter portions 132 surround and form a first avoidance opening 13 a .
[0047] The fixing portion 131 is used to fix the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 on the air conditioner mounting bracket 12, and the two adapter portions 132 are used to fix the T-BOX assembly on the T-BOX adapter bracket 13. By providing the fixing portion 131 and the two adapter portions 132, the space occupied by the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 can be reduced, making the structure of the instrument panel cross beam assembly 10 more compact.
[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The instrument panel cross beam assembly 10 may further include a floor connection bracket 14 , which is disposed between the first end and the second end of the cross beam 11 , and the air conditioning assembly 20 is connected to the floor connection bracket 14 .
[0049] The floor connecting bracket 14 plays a role of connecting and fixing the cross beam 11 and the vehicle floor, thereby improving the stability of the cross beam 11 .
[0050] One end of the air conditioning assembly 20 is connected to the air conditioning mounting bracket 12 , and the other end can be connected to the floor connecting bracket 14 to ensure the connection stability of the air conditioning assembly 20 .
[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The T-BOX optional component 30 may include a T-BOX mounting member 31 and a T-BOX body 32 disposed on the mounting member, and the T-BOX mounting member 31 is connected to the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 .

The T-BOX mounting member 31 and the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 may be connected in any manner, such as by fastening with fasteners such as screws and bolts, so as to facilitate removal of the T-BOX optional component 30 for maintenance or replacement. In other embodiments, a connection method such as a snap connection may also be used.
[0053] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 For the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 having the first avoidance opening 13a, the T-BOX mounting member 31 can be provided with a second avoidance opening 31a, the second avoidance opening 31a is connected to the first avoidance opening 13a, and the air conditioning connection part 121 is exposed at the first avoidance opening 13a and the second avoidance opening 31a.
[0054] The first avoidance opening 13a and the second avoidance opening 31a are connected to avoid the air-conditioning connecting portion 121 together, which can prevent the T-BOX adapter bracket 13 and the T-BOX optional component 30 from interfering with the disassembly and assembly of the air-conditioning component 20 when they are installed on the air-conditioning mounting bracket 12. At the same time, by providing the first avoidance opening 13a and the second avoidance opening 31a, the T-BOX optional component 30 can be made as close to the air-conditioning component 20 as possible, thereby making the structure of the dashboard cross beam assembly 10 more compact.
