[0002] The instrument cluster is a display device mounted on the dashboard of a vehicle, primarily providing and displaying information such as the vehicle's operating and running status, as well as fault indications. It typically includes several or all of the following components: the speedometer, tachometer, engine coolant temperature gauge (for gasoline-powered vehicles), fuel gauge (for gasoline-powered vehicles), battery level information (for new energy vehicles), a fault indicator light, total mileage, mileage subtotal, range, instantaneous fuel consumption / battery level, average fuel consumption or battery level, a clock, gear position, 3D animation, navigation maps, and entertainment videos.

[0003] Currently, the instrument cluster is installed by using two cross pins on the instrument panel frame for positioning and fixing it to the instrument panel frame with two bolts. At the same time, the display cover on the upper part of the instrument cluster is used to shield the internal structure. However, in the existing technology, the seam between the display cover and the instrument panel assembly is usually exposed, resulting in poor visual effects and a lack of refinement, which is not conducive to improving the overall texture of the instrument area. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0048] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] This embodiment relates to an instrument mounting structure, which is mainly suitable for assembling a combination instrument in an instrument panel assembly and can improve the problem of leakage of a seam between the cover plate 5 and the instrument exterior panel 1, thereby enhancing the refinement of the instrument area.

[0051] In terms of overall structure, Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the instrument mounting structure of this embodiment includes an instrument mounting window 10 provided on the vehicle's instrument exterior panel 1, a cover plate 5 for partially covering the instrument mounting window 10, and a mounting bracket 3 pre-installed on the back of the instrument body 4.

[0052] Furthermore, the instrument installation window 10 includes a top area 100 facing upward and a side area 101 facing the rear of the vehicle. The side area 101 is covered by the installed instrument body 4 , and the top area 100 is blocked by the cover plate 5 .

[0053] Secondly, the mounting bracket 3 includes a main portion 30 and an extension portion 32 located on the side of the main portion 30 away from the instrument panel 4. The instrument panel 4 is connected to the extension portion 32. Specifically, when the instrument panel 4 reaches the predetermined installation position, the extension portion 32 extends below the instrument panel 1 in front of the top area 100, exposing the main portion 30 within the top area 100. The cover 5 and the instrument panel frame 2 are both connected to the main portion 30.

[0054] At this time, as set above, an additional mounting bracket 3 can be added, and the instrument body 4 can be installed in place through the mounting bracket 3, so that the instrument body 4 is connected to the instrument panel frame 2, while also helping to reduce the size of the cover 5 at the instrument mounting window 10 on the instrument exterior panel 1, so that the instrument body 4 can cover the gap between the cover 5 and the instrument exterior panel 1, thereby improving the quality of the instrument area on the instrument panel assembly.

[0055] It should be noted that to address the problem of the exposed seam between the cover plate 5 and the instrument panel 1 in the prior art, the cover plate 5 needs to be reduced in size so that the instrument body 4 can completely cover the seam between the cover plate 5 and the instrument panel 1. However, this will cause the original installation point of the instrument body 4 to be blocked by the instrument panel 1, making normal installation impossible.

[0056] In consideration of the above problems, in this embodiment, the connection method between the instrument body 4 and the instrument panel assembly (including the instrument exterior panel 1 and the instrument panel frame 2) is redesigned by adding a mounting bracket 3 as described above. This not only allows the mounting point of the instrument body 4 to be stably installed even if it is blocked by the instrument exterior panel 1 or the instrument panel frame 2, but also allows the projection of the instrument mounting window 10 to be located within the projection area of ​​the instrument body 4 reaching the predetermined installation position in the front and rear directions of the vehicle when the instrument body 4 reaches the predetermined installation position, thereby solving the problem of the original mounting point of the instrument body 4 being blocked and the seam between the cover plate 5 and the instrument exterior panel 1 being exposed.

[0057] Of course, the relevant structural parts not mentioned in the instrument installation structure of this embodiment can refer to the various structures in the instrument panel assembly known to those skilled in the art. For example, the instrument exterior panel 1 can refer to the well-known instrument panel exterior panel, and the instrument body 4 can refer to the well-known combination instrument (assembly), etc., and will not be repeated here.

[0058] Based on the above overall introduction, in detail, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, combined with Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, the mounting bracket 3 is fixed to the upper back of the instrument body 4 , and the instrument mounting structure further includes a limiting arm 41 provided at the lower back of the instrument body 4 and a first limiting rib 21 correspondingly provided on the instrument panel frame 2 .

[0059] When the meter body 4 is in the downward tilted position, the first limiting rib 21 is inserted into the limiting groove 410 on the corresponding limiting arm 41 , and the meter body 4 is aligned with the first limiting rib 21 as the center to reach the predetermined installation position.

[0060] Such an arrangement not only forms a limit installation for the instrument body 4 that is installed in place, but also enables the instrument body 4 to be installed on the instrument panel frame 2 in a rotatable manner, thereby improving the installation accuracy and convenience of the instrument body 4.

[0061] During specific implementation, the first limiting rib 21 of this embodiment is preferably set to be T-shaped as a whole, and has vertical ribs and top transverse ribs 210. The advantage of such a setting is that the limiting arm 41 will not interfere with the vertical rib part during the rotation and adjustment process with the first limiting rib 21, and when the instrument body 4 reaches the predetermined installation position, the top transverse rib 210 can also play a limiting role on the instrument body 4 to ensure installation accuracy.

[0062] At the same time, the number of the limiting arms 41 in this embodiment can be set and adjusted according to the installation requirements of the instrument body 4. For example, the limiting arms 41 can be specifically two arranged at intervals along the length direction of the instrument body 4. At this time, the number of the first limiting ribs 21 and the number of the limiting arms 41 can be adapted to each other.

[0063] See also Figures 11 to 14 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, a card slot 300 is formed on the main body 30, and a card arm 51 is provided on the cover plate 5 corresponding to the card slot 300. The cover plate 5 is connected to the main body 30 by the card arm 51. In this way, the cover plate 5 and the main body 30 can be connected by card connection, which facilitates the assembly of the two.

[0064] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, an elastic clip 301 is provided in the slot 300 of this embodiment, and a clamping head 510 at the end of the clamping arm 51 is engaged with the elastic clip 301. Here, the elastic clip 301 is engaged with the clamping head 510 on the clamping arm 51, which is simple in structure and operation and helps ensure the stability of the clamping connection.

[0065] Of course, the number and arrangement of the above-mentioned card slots 300 and card arms 51 can be set and adjusted accordingly according to the card connection requirements between the main body 30 and the cover plate 5. For example, the card slots 300 and card arms 51 can be specifically set to two or three evenly spaced along the length direction of the mounting bracket 3.

[0066] Secondly, in order to ensure the assembly stability and accuracy between the cover plate 5 and the instrument panel 1, Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, the cover plate 5 is provided with a clamping portion 52 at both ends in the length direction. At the same time, the instrument exterior panel 1 is provided with a first flange 103 corresponding to each clamping portion 52, and each first flange 103 is provided with a clamping hole, and each clamping portion 52 is respectively clamped in the corresponding clamping hole.

[0067] At the same time, as a preferred implementation form, a second limiting rib 50 and a supporting rib 53 are provided on the side where the cover plate 5 of this embodiment is connected to the instrument exterior panel 1, and a limiting sink 102 corresponding to the second limiting rib 50 and a second flange 104 corresponding to the support rib 53 are provided on the instrument exterior panel 1. Specifically, a limiting hole cooperating with the second limiting rib 50 is provided on the limiting sink 102, and the support rib 53 abuts against the second flange 104.

[0068] The second limiting ribs 50 and the limiting sink 102 improve the assembly accuracy and convenience between the cover plate 5 and the instrument panel 1. The support ribs 53 and the second flange 104 prevent the cover plate 5 from being deformed or making unusual noises due to pressure. If necessary, a non-woven fabric can be sandwiched between the support ribs 53 and the second flange 104 to effectively prevent unusual noises.

[0069] It should be mentioned that the number of the second limiting ribs 50 and the supporting ribs 53 in this embodiment can be set and adjusted accordingly according to the actual installation requirements of the cover plate 5. For example, the second limiting ribs 50 can be specifically two evenly spaced along the length direction of the cover plate 5, and the supporting ribs 53 can be specifically three evenly spaced along the length direction of the cover plate 5, and the second limiting ribs 50 and the supporting ribs 53 can be staggered.

[0070] In addition, the cover plate 5 of this embodiment is preferably formed by injection molding. During the injection molding, in order to avoid shrinkage of the top surface of the cover plate 5 due to the excessive thickness of the second limiting rib 50, thereby affecting the exquisite appearance, if necessary, a groove structure can be preset at the root of the second limiting rib 50 while ensuring that the overall thickness of the second limiting rib 50 remains unchanged.

[0071] In addition, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body 30 includes a middle section provided with an extension portion 32, and mounting plates 31 respectively provided at both ends of the middle section. The instrument mounting structure also includes a connecting plate 20 corresponding to the mounting plate 31 provided on the instrument panel frame 2, and the mounting plate 31 is screwed to the corresponding connecting plate 20 through a fastener 6.

[0072] In this way, the mounting plate 31 and the corresponding connecting plate 20 are screwed together via the fasteners 6, ensuring the secure installation of the mounting bracket 3 on the instrument panel frame 2. The fasteners 6 can be screws or bolts, as are well known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, the mounting plate 31 is provided with mounting holes 310 for the fasteners 6 to pass through, and the connecting plate 20 is provided with mounting holes for the fasteners 6 to pass through.

[0073] In specific implementation, as a preferred implementation form, in this embodiment, a limiting platform 201 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 20 , and when the instrument body 4 reaches the predetermined installation position, the installation plate 31 abuts against the limiting platform 201 .

[0074] It is understandable that the provision of the limiting platform 201 is conducive to improving the installation accuracy and installation convenience of the mounting plate 31 , that is, it is conducive to improving the installation accuracy and installation convenience of the mounting bracket 3 .

[0075] Continue to refer to Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, a reinforcement groove 311 is provided at the connection portion between the mounting plate 31 and the middle section to facilitate improving the structural strength of the mounting bracket 3 and thereby ensure the installation stability of the instrument body 4.

[0076] Also as a preferred implementation form, in this embodiment, the mounting plate 31 is sunken relative to the middle section. The advantage of such a setting is that it can help improve the structural strength of the mounting bracket 3, and at the same time, it also facilitates the assembly between the mounting bracket 3 and the instrument body 4 and the instrument panel frame 2.

[0077] In addition, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, combined with Figure 8 、 Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, the extension portion 32 includes a fixing plate 320 that is sunken relative to the main body 30 , and the instrument mounting structure further includes a connecting arm 40 that is provided on the back of the instrument body 4 .

[0078] Furthermore, the connecting arm 40 is correspondingly disposed below the fixing plate 320 and is screwed to the fixing plate 320 via the fastener 6 , thereby facilitating ensuring the connection reliability between the mounting bracket 3 and the meter body 4 .

[0079] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned fixed plate 320 can preferably be stamped with a first connecting hole 321, and the connecting arm 40 can preferably be provided with a second connecting hole 401. The diameter of the first connecting hole 321 is smaller than the diameter of the fastener 6. At the same time, the fastener 6 can adopt a common self-tapping screw. The self-tapping screw passes through the second connecting hole 401 and is screwed into the first connecting hole 321 in the manner of a self-tapping screw. During the screwing process of the self-tapping screw, a thread can be processed in the first connecting hole 321, thereby realizing the screw fastening between the connecting arm 40 and the fixed plate 320.

[0080] Of course, the number of connecting arms 40 and fixing plates 320 in this embodiment can also be set and adjusted accordingly according to the connection requirements between the mounting bracket 3 and the instrument body 4, so that both are specifically two spaced apart along the length direction of the instrument body 4.

[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, a locating pin 322 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 320. A locating hole is provided on the connecting arm 40 corresponding to the locating pin 322, and the locating pin 322 is inserted into the corresponding locating hole. This arrangement allows for a well-positioned installation between the fixing plate 320 and the connecting arm 40, facilitating not only easier assembly and disassembly of the instrument body 4 and the mounting bracket 3, but also improved assembly precision.

[0082] At this time, during the specific setting, the number and arrangement of the positioning pins 322 and the positioning holes can also be set and adjusted accordingly according to the actual positioning requirements between the mounting bracket 3 and the instrument body 4. For example, both are specifically two arranged at intervals along the length direction of the instrument body 4.

[0083] This embodiment of the instrument mounting structure utilizes a mounting bracket 3 disposed on the back of the instrument body 4. This bracket allows the instrument body 4 to be mounted in place, thereby reducing the size of the cover plate 5 at the instrument mounting window 10 on the instrument panel 1. This allows the instrument body 4 to obscure the gap between the cover plate 5 and the instrument panel 1, thereby enhancing the quality of the instrument area on the instrument panel assembly.

[0084] At the same time, the installation method of the cover 5 is also optimized, such as using a snap-on installation to improve the convenience of installation, setting a second limiting rib 50 and a supporting rib 53 to improve the installation accuracy, etc., which not only improves the convenience and aesthetics of installation, but also ensures a stable connection between the cover 5 and the instrument body 4, and effectively solves the existing technical problems of exposed seams and installation difficulties between the cover 5 and the instrument exterior panel 1. It can be understood that this improvement scheme takes into account both functionality and appearance design requirements, and improves the sense of quality of the entire instrument area.

[0085] Example 2

[0086] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, which adopts the instrument installation structure in the first embodiment.

[0087] The vehicle of this embodiment, by setting the instrument mounting structure in Example 1, can achieve the purpose of shielding the gap between the cover plate 5 and the instrument exterior panel 1, so as to enhance the quality of the instrument area on the instrument panel assembly, thereby contributing to the improvement of the quality and product strength of the entire vehicle.

[0088] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
