[0042] A dashboard cross beam assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, a dashboard cross beam assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a dashboard cross beam bracket 10 and two end plate assemblies 20 .

[0044] Specifically, the end plate assembly 20 is connected to the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 in the length direction (for example Figure 1 The end portions of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 (left and right directions shown in the figure), for example, the two ends of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 in the length direction are respectively provided with end plate assemblies 20, the end plate assembly 20 includes a first end plate 21 and a second end plate 22, the first end plate 21 is connected to one end of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 in the length direction, and the end of the first end plate 21 away from the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 is connected to the second end plate 22, which can realize the connection between the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 and the end plate assembly 20, and facilitate the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 to realize the connection requirements and clamping requirements with other structures through the end plate assembly 20.

[0045] In addition, if Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the second end plate 22 protrudes toward the side away from the first end plate 21 to form a protrusion 221, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the end plate assembly 20. The protrusion 221 is provided with a first clamping hole group 31, and the first clamping hole group 31 is arranged along the vehicle width direction (for example Figure 1), and the first clamping hole group 31 facilitates the clamping requirements of the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 by the tooling (such as the sub-assembly tooling, etc.), and the first end plate 21 can separate the second end plate 22 and the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10, avoiding the interference between the connection of the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 and the connection of the tooling, and the first clamping hole group 31 is not limited by the size and shape of the connection between the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 and the first end plate 21, which is convenient for realizing the universality of the first clamping hole group 31, avoiding the problem that the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 of different vehicle models needs to be replaced due to differences, and making the tooling realize platformization, and realizing the common use of tooling for different vehicle models, which is conducive to reducing production costs, and can avoid switching tooling, which is conducive to improving production efficiency. For example, by realizing the platformization of the first clamping hole group 31, the vehicle mold cost can be saved by about 150,000, and the mold cost can be saved by about 5 million after the vehicle is platformized, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the first clamping hole group 31 includes a third hole 311 and a fourth hole 312, and the third hole 311 and the fourth hole 312 are arranged along the height direction (for example Figure 2 The arrangement in the up and down directions shown in the figure can realize the matching requirements between the tooling and the first clamping hole group 31, ensuring reliable clamping.

[0047] In some embodiments, the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 includes a tube beam 11. The diameters of the tube beam 11 of different vehicle models are different. If the tooling uses the diameter of the tube beam 11 as a clamping point, it is easy to cause different tooling to need to be switched to match the diameter of the tube beam 11, which reduces production efficiency and increases production costs.

[0048] Therefore, in the present utility model, if Figure 1-Figure 6 , Fig. 9 As shown, the tube beam 11 is connected to one side of the first end plate 21, and the other side of the first end plate 21 is connected to the second end plate 22. The tooling clamps the first clamping hole group 31 to clamp the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10. The tube beam 11 is separated from the second end plate 22 by the first end plate 21, so that the first clamping hole group 31 is not restricted by the size and shape of the tube beam 11, thereby realizing the process platform of the tooling, which is beneficial to reducing production costs and avoiding switching of tooling, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments, the pipe beam 11 and the first end plate 21 are connected by welding to ensure reliable connection and help reduce production costs. For example, the pipe beam 11 and the first end plate 21 are welded by carbon dioxide shielded welding.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22 are connected by welding to ensure reliable connection and help reduce production costs. For example, the first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22 are welded by carbon dioxide shielded welding.

[0051] In some embodiments, the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 includes an instrument assembly, which is connected to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10, so that the instrument assembly can use the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 as the load-bearing center, install the instrument panel, controller, wiring harness and other structures of the instrument assembly on the dashboard cross beam bracket 10, and then assemble the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 as a whole on the body of the vehicle, thereby realizing modular assembly of the instrument assembly, which can improve assembly efficiency and assembly quality and is conducive to improving production capacity rhythm.

[0052] According to the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the utility model, the first end plate 21 is connected to one end of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 in the length direction, and the end of the first end plate 21 away from the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 is connected to the second end plate 22, and the second end plate 22 protrudes toward the side away from the first end plate 21 to form a protrusion 221, and the protrusion 221 is provided with a first clamping hole group 31 extending along the width direction of the vehicle, so that the tooling can meet the clamping requirements of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 through the first clamping hole group 31, and avoid interference between the connection between the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 and the tooling connection. The first clamping hole group 31 is not limited by the size and shape of the connection between the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 and the first end plate 21, so as to achieve the versatility of the first clamping hole group 31, so that the tooling can be platformized and the tooling of different models can be shared, which is conducive to reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second end plate 22 also has a flange 222, which is connected to the end of the protrusion 221 facing the rear side of the vehicle, and the flange 222 extends toward the rear side of the vehicle. A second clamping hole group 32 is provided on the flange 222, and the second clamping hole group 32 extends along the width direction of the vehicle. The second clamping hole group 32 facilitates the clamping requirements of tooling (such as power-assisted clamping tooling, etc.) on the dashboard cross beam bracket 10, and makes clamping more convenient.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second clamping hole group 32 is formed on the second end plate 22 by stamping, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the second clamping hole group 32 .

[0055] In the related art, the center of gravity of the dashboard crossbeam assembly is not coaxial with the clamping point of the second clamping hole group, and there is a matching gap between the second clamping hole group and the clamping head of the tooling. For example, the second clamping hole group has a square hole with a diameter of 22mm×33mm, which can easily cause the tooling to clamp the dashboard crossbeam assembly and cause flipping problems, affecting the assembly accuracy.

[0056] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second clamping hole group 32 includes a first hole 321 and a second hole 322, and the first hole 321 and the second hole 322 are arranged in the height direction. Therefore, when the tool clamps the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100, for example, when the tool clamps the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100 to assemble it to the vehicle body, the tool cooperates with the first hole 321 and the second hole 322 to prevent the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100 from flipping, thereby preventing the tool from flipping due to unstable center of gravity when taking out the parts, ensuring that the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100 meets the assembly state requirements before assembly, avoiding the problem of sinking due to taking out the parts, and ensuring the assembly accuracy.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one of the first hole 321 and the second hole 322 extends in the height direction, that is, the first hole 321 extends in the height direction, or the second hole 322 extends in the height direction. When the tooling clamps the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100, it is more convenient for the clamping head of the tooling to clamp the first hole 321 and the second hole 322, avoiding the problem of interference between the clamping head and the two holes, which can reduce the processing accuracy and facilitate processing and manufacturing. For example, the first hole 321 is a circular hole with a diameter of 16mm, the second hole 322 is an oblong hole with a diameter of 16mm×18mm, and the distance between the center of the first hole 321 and the center of the second hole 322 is 80mm, which can achieve the versatility of the tooling.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a mounting hole 41 is provided on the protrusion 221, and the mounting hole 41 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. A fastener is passed through the mounting hole 41, so that the fastener can be connected to the body of the vehicle, thereby enabling the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 to be installed on the vehicle body through the end plate assembly 20, thereby realizing the installation of the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 on the vehicle body, ensuring reliable installation and easy disassembly.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple mounting holes 41, and the multiple mounting holes 41 are arranged in the height direction of the protrusion 221 (for example Figure 2 The second end plate 22 is spaced apart in the up and down directions (as shown in the figure), and multiple mounting holes 41 enable multiple different positions of the second end plate 22 to be connected to the vehicle body, thereby ensuring that the second end plate 22 is securely fixed on the vehicle body, thereby ensuring that the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100 is securely fixed on the vehicle body.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the mounting holes 41 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the mounting holes 41 can be Figure 1 Two are shown, but three, four, five, six or more may also be provided, all of which are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the protrusion 221 is provided with a positioning hole 42, the positioning hole 42 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the positioning member 421 is penetrated through the positioning hole 42, so that the positioning hole 42 can be connected to the vehicle body, so that the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 can be positioned on the vehicle body through the end plate assembly 20, ensuring the relative position accuracy of the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100 and the vehicle body, and the positioning member 421 is connected to the vehicle body through the protrusion 221, which can achieve assembly visibility, facilitate assembly, and help improve assembly efficiency. For example, the positioning member 421 can be a projection welding polished rod pin.

[0062] In some embodiments, the positioning member 421 is connected to the second end plate 22 by projection welding to ensure that the positioning member 421 is reliably fixed to the second end plate 22, thereby avoiding problems such as rotation or vibration of the positioning member 421 on the second end plate 22, and helping to reduce production costs.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a support member 23 is provided in the protrusion 221, and the support member 23 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the support member 23 is connected to the first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22, ensuring that the support portion is reliably fixed on the first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22, and the structural strength of the end plate assembly 20 can be improved through the support portion, which has a good supporting effect and avoids deformation and other problems.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, there are multiple support members 23, and the multiple support members 23 are arranged at intervals in the height direction of the protrusion 221. The multiple support members 23 can support multiple different positions of the protrusion to ensure the structural strength of the end plate assembly 20.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the support members 23 can be flexibly set according to the actual situation. For example, the support members 23 can be as follows: Figure 8 Two are shown, but three, four, five, six or more may also be provided, all of which are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0066] In some embodiments, the support member 23 is connected to the first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22 by welding, which ensures reliable connection and helps reduce production costs. For example, the support member 23 is welded to the first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22 by carbon dioxide shielded welding.

[0067] In some embodiments where the fastener is disposed through the mounting hole 41, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the support portion is bent toward one side in the height direction of the raised portion to form a bent portion 231, so that the support portion can be roughly formed into a "J"-shaped structure, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the support portion. In addition, the fastener is inserted into the mounting hole 41 and is located in the bent portion 231, which can prevent the fastening torque between the fastener and the vehicle body from causing the raised portion to be crushed or deformed, ensuring reliable assembly and high structural strength of the end plate assembly 20.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100 further includes a housing, and the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 is disposed in the housing. The housing can protect the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 and has a good appearance. In addition, the two end plate assemblies 20 are respectively located in the length direction of the housing (for example Figure 1 The left and right directions shown in the figure are shown in FIG. 2 ), and the two end plate assemblies 20 are exposed, so that the first clamping hole group 31 is located outside the shell, which is convenient for the tooling to clamp the first clamping hole group 31, ensuring the visibility of the clamping process, and when the tooling is withdrawn, it can avoid the tooling from hitting the dashboard crossbeam assembly 100 and causing external injuries, thereby ensuring the safety of the tooling withdrawal.

[0069] In some embodiments where the fasteners are passed through the mounting holes 41, the two end plate assemblies 20 are respectively located on both sides of the shell in the length direction and are exposed, so that the mounting holes 41 are located outside the shell, which is convenient for the assembly of the fasteners, and the assembly visibility of the dashboard crossbeam bracket 10 is good, and the interference of the shell when the end plate assemblies 20 are connected is avoided. The assembly space of the assembly tools is sufficient to avoid constraints on the shape, structure, etc., and the problems of poor assembly space and ergonomics of the operation are solved, thereby avoiding the problem of insufficient space for different car models and the need to switch tools. The tools can be platformized and the same tool can be used for co-linear assembly, which improves assembly efficiency and helps reduce production costs. For example, the introduction of a car model can reduce the cost of tool changes by 100,000.

[0070] At the same time, by having two end plate assemblies 20 respectively located on both sides of the shell in the length direction and exposed, the installation point of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 can be moved outward, and the end plate assembly 20 can be directly connected to the raised structure of the A-pillar inner panel of the vehicle body, thereby reducing the installation bracket and other structures required for the connection between the dashboard cross beam bracket and the vehicle body in the related technology, which is beneficial to reducing production costs, reducing the weight of the vehicle, and realizing lightweighting of the vehicle. For example, a single vehicle can reduce weight by 0.355kg and reduce costs by 4.5 yuan.

[0071] In some embodiments where the positioning member 421 is passed through the positioning hole 42, the two end plate assemblies 20 are respectively located on both sides of the shell in the length direction and are exposed, so that the positioning hole 42 is located outside the shell, which facilitates the positioning of the positioning member 421 and makes the positioning visibility of the dashboard crossbeam bracket 10 good, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.

[0072] In some embodiments where the second end plate 22 has a flange 222 , the side of the flange 222 away from the first end plate 21 is flush with the same side of the shell in the length direction, ensuring the visibility of tool clamping and the safety of exit, and reducing the occupied space.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 also includes an air conditioning component and a connecting bracket 50. The connecting bracket 50 is used to connect the air conditioning component to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 to ensure that the air conditioning component is securely fixed on the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 and is connected to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 through the air conditioning component. Then, the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 is assembled as a whole on the body of the vehicle, which facilitates the assembly of the air conditioning component and improves the performance and assembly processability of the NVH component.

[0074] In some embodiments, the air conditioning assembly is fixed to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 through five mounting points, and the five mounting points are all connected to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 through the connecting bracket 50, or the three mounting points located at the top are connected to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 by welding, and the two mounting points located at the bottom are connected to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 through the connecting bracket 50, ensuring reliable fixation and meeting the required connection requirements. For example, the three mounting points located at the top are welded to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 by carbon dioxide shielded welding.

[0075] In the related technology, when the dashboard crossbeam assembly is installed on the vehicle, the air conditioning component has the problem of sinking due to the influence of structural design, manufacturing precision, tooling, etc. For example, the warm air outlet of the air conditioning component has the problem of sinking relative to the vehicle body, which easily leads to the risk of water leakage in the matching of the air conditioning component and the vehicle body, affecting the use of the vehicle. Although the problem of sinking air conditioning components can be improved through later part design changes and optimized tolerance matching, it requires multiple rounds of verification and debugging, mobilizing multiple professions and departments to cooperate, increasing manpower and material resources, and making the quality cultivation cycle long.

[0076] Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the connecting bracket 50 includes a first extension portion 51 and a second extension portion 52. The first extension portion 51 extends along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, and the first extension portion 51 is connected to the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 on one side along the width direction of the vehicle to achieve the connection between the connecting bracket 50 and the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10. The second extension portion 52 is connected to the end of the first extension portion 51 facing the front side of the vehicle, and the second extension portion 52 and the first extension portion 51 are at an angle to each other. The second extension portion 52 is connected to the air-conditioning assembly to achieve the connection between the connecting bracket 50 and the air-conditioning assembly, thereby achieving the connection between the air-conditioning assembly and the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 through the connecting bracket 50, and the connecting bracket 50 can be roughly formed into an "L"-shaped structure, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the connecting bracket 50.

[0077] When the first extension portion 51 is connected to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 on one side along the width direction of the vehicle, the first extension portion 51 can move along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, so that the first extension portion 51 has no accumulated tolerance in the front-to-back direction, which facilitates the air-conditioning assembly to rotate on the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 through the connecting bracket 50, avoiding the problem of the connecting bracket being connected in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle in the related technology and causing the connecting bracket to be unadjustable in the front-to-back direction, and realizing the position adjustment of the air-conditioning assembly during the assembly process, which can improve the assembly accuracy of the air-conditioning assembly, can correct problems caused by factors such as part stiffness and positioning, and is convenient for adjustment.

[0078] For example, the first extension portion 51 can move toward the front side of the vehicle and connect with the dashboard cross beam bracket 10, so that the air-conditioning assembly can rotate on the dashboard cross beam bracket 10, effectively improving the sinking of the air-conditioning assembly. By adjusting the position of the first extension portion 51 on the dashboard cross beam bracket 10, the installation point of the air-conditioning assembly and the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 can be prevented from affecting the sinking of the air-conditioning assembly, and problems such as water leakage and misaligned holes in assembly can be avoided. Large manufacturing tolerances can also be avoided, so that the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 is fixed and stably on the vehicle body, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the air-conditioning assembly. The sinking of the air-conditioning assembly caused by factors such as part stiffness and positioning can be corrected, and the sinking of the air-conditioning assembly can be adjusted as needed to eliminate the influence of factors such as part stiffness.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first extension portion 51 is connected to the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 by welding, which ensures reliable connection and helps reduce production costs. For example, the first extension portion 51 is welded to the instrument panel cross beam bracket 10 by carbon dioxide shielded welding.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second extension portion 52 is connected to the air conditioning assembly via fasteners to ensure a reliable connection and facilitate disassembly to meet the required connection requirements.

[0081] In some embodiments, the connection bracket 50 is formed by stamping, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the connection bracket 50 and helps to improve the structural strength of the connection bracket 50.

[0082] In the related technology, since the center of gravity of the dashboard crossbeam assembly is not coaxial with the clamping point of the second clamping hole group, and there is a matching gap between the second clamping hole group and the clamping head of the tooling, it is easy to cause the dashboard crossbeam assembly to flip when the tooling clamps it, which contributes to the sinking of the air-conditioning assembly by about 3mm, causing the air-conditioning assembly to sink before the dashboard crossbeam assembly is assembled on the vehicle body, thereby affecting subsequent assembly.

[0083] Therefore, in some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the second clamping hole group 32 includes a first hole 321 and a second hole 322, and the first hole 321 and the second hole 322 are arranged in the height direction. The cooperation between the tooling and the first hole 321 and the second hole 322 can prevent the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 from flipping over, thereby preventing the overturning problem caused by unstable center of gravity when the tooling is taking out the parts, and avoiding the sinking problem of the air-conditioning component caused by unstable center of gravity when the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 is clamped. The first extension portion 51 is connected to the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 on one side along the width direction of the vehicle, so that the first extension portion 51 can move along the front and rear direction of the vehicle during assembly.

[0084] Thus, while improving the installation accuracy of the air conditioning assembly, the sinking of the air conditioning assembly can be adjusted as needed to eliminate the influence of factors such as part stiffness. Through the combination of the above two methods, the problem of sinking of the air conditioning assembly can be solved from the design source, effectively preventing and improving the sinking of the air conditioning assembly, ensuring that the instrument panel crossbeam assembly 100 meets the assembly state requirements before assembly, ensuring assembly accuracy, and helping to reduce production costs. For example, through the combination of the above two methods, the quality cultivation cycle required for the sinking problem of the air conditioning assembly in the PT stage can be reduced by about 45 days, and the mold, inspection fixture and fixture design costs for the introduction of new models into the factory can be reduced by 50,000, effectively reducing the design cycle of the vehicle and reducing production costs.

[0085] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the instrument panel cross beam assembly 100 for the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention. Since the dashboard cross beam assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the vehicle according to the embodiment of the utility model is connected to one end of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 in the length direction through the first end plate 21, and the end of the first end plate 21 away from the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 is connected to the second end plate 22, and the second end plate 22 protrudes toward the side away from the first end plate 21 to form a protrusion 221, and the protrusion 221 is provided with a first clamping hole group 31 extending along the width direction of the vehicle, so that the tooling can meet the clamping requirements of the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 through the first clamping hole group 31, and avoid interference between the connection between the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 and the tooling connection. The first clamping hole group 31 is not limited by the size and shape of the connection between the dashboard cross beam bracket 10 and the first end plate 21, so as to achieve the versatility of the first clamping hole group 31, so that the tooling can be platformized and the tooling of different models can be shared, which is conducive to reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
