[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4 A vehicle instrument panel assembly 100 and a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the dashboard assembly 100 includes: a dashboard cross beam 10, both ends of which are respectively suitable for connection with the body of the vehicle, and the dashboard cross beam 10 has a steering wheel mounting area 13; a support beam 20, the support beam 20 is suitable for being connected between the dashboard cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 of the vehicle to support the dashboard cross beam 10, and the connection between the support beam 20 and the dashboard cross beam 10 corresponds to the steering wheel mounting area 13.

[0031] Among them, the two ends of the dashboard cross beam 10 are respectively suitable for connecting with the body of the vehicle. For example, the dashboard cross beam 10 and the body can be fixedly connected by bolts, or the dashboard cross beam 10 and the body can be fixedly connected by welding, but the utility model is not limited to this. The dashboard cross beam 10 and the body can also be connected by other methods, as long as the two ends of the dashboard cross beam 10 are respectively connected to the body of the vehicle.

[0032] The instrument panel cross beam 10 may have a steering wheel installation area 13 for installing a steering wheel. The support beam 20 is suitable for connecting between the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 of the vehicle to support the instrument panel cross beam 10. Specifically, the support beam 20 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 may be connected by bolts, which can not only ensure that the support beam 20 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 are firmly connected, but also facilitate subsequent disassembly for maintenance, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the instrument panel assembly 100 and reducing the maintenance cost of the instrument panel assembly 100. However, the utility model is not limited to this, and the support beam 20 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 may be connected by snapping.

[0033] The connection between the support beam 20 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 can be arranged corresponding to the steering wheel installation area 13. The connection between the support beam 20 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 can be arranged corresponding to the steering wheel installation area 13, which means that the connection between the support beam 20 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 is arranged adjacent to the steering wheel installation area 13, or the connection between the support beam 20 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 is arranged opposite to the steering wheel installation area 13 in the height direction. The support beam 20 is connected between the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 of the vehicle to support the instrument panel cross beam 10. The support beam 20 can guide the force received by the instrument panel cross beam 10 to the front cabin floor 30 of the vehicle, thereby reducing the force received by the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the steering wheel, and can also improve the strength, mode and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) of the instrument panel cross beam 10, thereby reducing the risk of steering wheel resonance caused by vehicle frequency resonance, thereby improving the driver's driving feeling, brand value and customer satisfaction.

[0034] According to the dashboard assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the support beam 20 is connected between the dashboard cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 of the vehicle to support the dashboard cross beam 10, and the connection between the support beam 20 and the dashboard cross beam 10 corresponds to the steering wheel installation area 13. The force exerted on the dashboard cross beam 10 can be guided to the front cabin floor 30 of the vehicle through the support beam 20, thereby reducing the force exerted on the dashboard cross beam 10 and the steering wheel, and at the same time, the strength, mode and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) of the dashboard cross beam 10 can also be improved, thereby reducing the risk of steering wheel resonance caused by vehicle frequency resonance, thereby improving the driver's driving feel, brand value and customer satisfaction.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the connection between the support beam 20 and the front cabin floor 30 corresponds to the front cabin longitudinal beam of the vehicle.

[0036] Among them, the connection between the support beam 20 and the front cabin floor 30 corresponds to the front cabin longitudinal beam of the vehicle, so that the support beam 20 is indirectly connected to the front cabin longitudinal beam of the vehicle. When the instrument panel cross beam 10 is subjected to force, the support beam 20 connected to the instrument panel cross beam 10 can not only bear part of the force, but also guide the force exerted on the instrument panel cross beam 10 to the front cabin longitudinal beam of the vehicle, thereby reducing the force on the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the steering wheel, and at the same time, it can also further improve the strength, mode and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) of the instrument panel cross beam 10, thereby further reducing the risk of steering wheel resonance caused by vehicle frequency resonance, thereby improving the driver's driving feel, brand value and customer satisfaction.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the dashboard cross beam 10 may include: a sheet metal body 11 and a plastic layer 12 , wherein the plastic layer 12 wraps at least a portion of the sheet metal body 11 .

[0038] The instrument panel cross beam 10 may include: a sheet metal body 11 and a plastic layer 12, wherein the plastic layer 12 wraps at least part of the sheet metal body 11, for example: the plastic layer 12 may wrap half of the sheet metal body 11, or the plastic layer 12 may wrap one third of the sheet metal body 11, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the plastic layer 12 may also wrap other proportions of the sheet metal body 11, as long as the plastic layer 12 wraps at least part of the sheet metal body 11. The instrument panel cross beam 10 may be made of a steel-plastic material, which uses steel as a base material and has the high strength of steel to ensure that the instrument panel cross beam 10 has sufficient rigidity and strength, and the plastic is a coating material coated on the surface of the steel and is light in weight, which can reduce the weight of the instrument panel cross beam 10 to facilitate the lightweight design of the vehicle, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle and improving the vehicle's endurance performance. It can also make the dashboard cross beam 10 have the corrosion resistance and plasticity of plastic, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and plasticity of the dashboard cross beam 10, thereby improving the service life of the dashboard cross beam 10, and is also beneficial to the shaping of the dashboard cross beam 10. In addition, the steel-plastic material is inexpensive and can also reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0039] Furthermore, the steel-plastic instrument panel cross beam 10 can be manufactured by integrated injection molding, which is simple to process and has high structural accuracy. It can reduce the risk of repeated positioning to reduce the assembly error rate, thereby reducing the assembly complexity of the instrument panel cross beam 10. In addition, the steel-plastic instrument panel cross beam 10 can be used in different vehicle models, and the support beam 20 can be added according to the NVH property requirements of different vehicle models. For example, when the NVH property requirements of the vehicle are low, the steel-plastic instrument panel cross beam 10 can be used alone. The steel-plastic instrument panel cross beam 10 has its own NVH property target, which can reduce the vibration level of the vehicle, improve the frequency response of vibration, reduce the noise level of the vehicle, and improve the sound quality of noise, thereby reducing the probability of resonance of the steering wheel, thereby improving the comfort of the whole vehicle and customer satisfaction.

[0040] When the NVH property requirements of the vehicle are high, the dashboard cross beam 10 and the support beam 20 can be used in combination. The cooperation of the dashboard cross beam 10 and the support beam 20 can improve the NVH performance, thereby improving the NVH property of the vehicle, thereby further reducing the vibration level of the vehicle, improving the frequency response of vibration, reducing the noise level of the vehicle, improving the sound quality of noise, and further reducing the probability of resonance of the steering wheel, further improving the comfort of the whole vehicle and customer satisfaction. Therefore, through different combinations of the dashboard cross beam 10 and the support beam 20, the needs of different models can be met, thereby improving the integration and modularization of the whole vehicle.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the support beam 20 may include: a support beam body 21 and two connection assembly parts 22 , the support beam body 21 is connected between the two connection assembly parts 22 , one of the two connection assembly parts 22 is connected to the instrument panel cross beam 10 , and the other is suitable for connecting to the front cabin floor 30 .

[0042] Among them, the support beam 20 may include: a support beam body 21 and two connection assembly parts 22, the support beam body 21 is connected between the two connection assembly parts 22, for example: the support beam body 21 and the two connection assembly parts 22 can be integrally formed, or the support beam body 21 and the two connection assembly parts 22 can be connected by welding, but the utility model is not limited thereto, the support beam body 21 and the two connection assembly parts 22 can also be connected by other means, as long as the support beam body 21 is connected between the two connection assembly parts 22. This application takes the example that the support beam body 21 and the two connection assembly parts 22 can be integrally formed as an example, the integral forming of the support beam body 21 and the two connection assembly parts 22 can improve the precision and quality of the support beam 20, and can also improve the production efficiency of the support beam 20, reduce the manufacturing cost of the support beam 20, and thus reduce the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0043] One of the two connecting assembly parts 22 is connected to the instrument panel cross beam 10, and the other is suitable for connecting to the front cabin floor 30. For example, the connecting assembly part 22 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 can be fixedly connected by bolts, or the connecting assembly part 22 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 can be fixedly connected by snap-fitting. However, the utility model is not limited to this. The connecting assembly part 22 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as one of the two connecting assembly parts 22 is connected to the instrument panel cross beam 10, and the other is suitable for connecting to the front cabin floor 30. The present application takes the example of two connecting assembly parts 22 being fixedly connected to the dashboard cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 respectively by bolts. The two connecting assembly parts 22 are fixedly connected to the dashboard cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30 respectively by bolts, which can not only ensure the firm connection between the support beam 20 and the dashboard cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30, but also facilitate subsequent disassembly for maintenance, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the dashboard assembly 100 and further reducing the maintenance cost of the dashboard assembly 100.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the two connection fittings 22 is configured as a plate-like structure.

[0045] Among them, at least one of the two connection assembly parts 22 is configured as a plate-like structure, for example: one connection assembly part 22 is configured as a plate-like structure, or both connection assembly parts 22 are configured as plate-like structures, as long as at least one of the two connection assembly parts 22 is configured as a plate-like structure. This application takes the two connection assembly parts 22 as plate-like structures as an example for explanation. By configuring both connection assembly parts 22 as plate-like structures, it is convenient to bolt the connection assembly parts 22 to the instrument panel cross beam 10 and the front cabin floor 30, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the support beam 20, and the simple processing of the plate-like structure can reduce the manufacturing cost of the support beam 20.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the support beam body 21 can be constructed as a straight rod type structure. According to the shortest straight-line distance between two points, the straight rod type structure can shorten the length of the support beam body 21 to the greatest extent, thereby reducing the weight of the support beam 20 to reduce the manufacturing cost of the support beam 20, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the support beam body 21 may be formed with an avoidance arc segment 23 to avoid other components around the support beam body 21, thereby avoiding interference between the support beam body 21 and other components inside the vehicle, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the vehicle. It can be explained that the specific shape and number of the avoidance arc segment 23 on the support beam body 21 can be reasonably set and adjusted according to actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here, as long as the support beam body 21 can avoid interference with other components inside the vehicle.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a cavity structure can be formed in the support beam body 21, which can reduce the deadweight of the support beam 20 and reduce the manufacturing cost of the support beam 20. The cavity structure can also provide higher rigidity and stability, so that the support beam 20 can better resist load and deformation, thereby improving the service life and safety of the support beam 20.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the dashboard assembly 100 may further include: a plurality of reinforcing ribs, which may be constructed as triangular ribs 31. By providing the triangular ribs 31 on the dashboard cross beam 10, not only the strength and rigidity of the dashboard cross beam 10 can be improved, but also when the dashboard cross beam 10 is subjected to stress, the direction of the force can be changed according to the direction of the triangular ribs 31, thereby reducing the stress on the dashboard cross beam 10. Moreover, the cooperation between the triangular ribs 31 and the support beam 20 can further improve the NVH properties of the dashboard assembly 100, thereby improving the comfort of the entire vehicle.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the instrument panel assembly 100 may further include: a mounting beam 40, the mounting beam 40 is connected to the instrument panel cross beam 10, for example, the mounting beam 40 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 may be fixedly connected by bolts, or the mounting beam 40 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 may be connected by a snap connection, but the present invention is not limited thereto, the mounting beam 40 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 may also be connected in other ways, as long as the mounting beam 40 and the instrument panel cross beam 10 are connected.
