Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile instrument panels, in particular to a sealing structure of an automobile instrument panel. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, a car dashboard is a device installed in front of the car driver, usually located in the center of the front row of the vehicle or in front of the driver. It is used to display various status information and control functions of the vehicle. It includes instruments such as speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, water temperature gauge, as well as warning lights, indicator lights, display screens and other display devices. It obtains the vehicle's operating data through sensors and control units and displays it to the driver to help the driver understand the vehicle's operating status and provide safe driving tips. It can also provide a variety of vehicle control functions, such as adjusting the temperature inside the car, switching driving modes, etc.

[0003] However, traditional car dashboards usually have poor sealing effects and are easily affected by the external environment. When dust or other debris enters the dashboard, it may block the light propagation of the dashboard display, resulting in unclear display or blurred images, thereby affecting the driver's accurate acquisition of vehicle information. Therefore, technical improvements are urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0034] Compared with the existing automobile instrument panel sealing structure, when the automobile instrument panel sealing structure is used, the arc angle 11 can reduce the friction and resistance when the clamping block 10 is clamped with the clamping groove 7, making the installation smoother and easier. The movement of the limit spring 9 drives the clamping block 10 to move, and the movement of the clamping block 10 drives the limit block 13 to slide in the sliding groove 12, which is convenient for limiting the limit spring 9 to prevent the limit spring 9 from deviating during the movement, and has high practical performance.

[0035] A sealing card slot 3 is provided at the rear end of the inner wall of the instrument slot 2, and a sealing gasket 6 is snap-fitted with the sealing card slot 3. The snap-fitting of the sealing gasket 6 with the sealing card slot 3 is convenient to prevent the entry of external dust and water vapor. A snap-fitting slot 7 is provided at the upper and lower parts of the rear end of the outer wall of the protective frame 4. The snap-fitting blocks 10 are snap-fitted with the snap-fitting slots 7 respectively. The snap-fitting blocks 10 are snap-fitted with the snap-fitting slots 7 respectively, which is convenient for limiting the protective frame 4. Sliding grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the limiting groove 8. The lower ends of the outer walls on both sides of the snap-fitting blocks 10 are fixedly connected to limiting blocks 13. The limiting blocks 13 and the snap-fitting blocks 10 are convenient to improve the matching. The limiting blocks 13 are slidably connected inside the sliding groove 12. The limiting blocks 13 are connected inside the sliding groove 12 by the limiting blocks 13. The front and rear ends of the upper surface of the clamping block 10 are provided with arc angles 11, and the arc angles 11 can reduce the friction and resistance when the clamping block 10 is clamped with the clamping groove 7, making the installation smoother and easier. The observation plate 5 is made of glass material. The glass material of the observation plate 5 is convenient for clearly seeing the display content of the internal instrument panel, so that the driver can accurately and clearly observe the indications and data on the instrument panel. The sealing gasket 6 is made of rubber material. The rubber material has good elasticity and plasticity, can adapt to sealing surfaces of different shapes, form a tight seal, and protect the internal components of the instrument panel from being affected by the external environment.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the protective frame 4 is installed into the instrument slot 2. At this time, the sealing gasket 6 is engaged with the sealing card slot 3. At this time, the card block 10 is compressed by the force driving the limit spring 9. When the card block 10 coincides with the card slot 7, the limit spring 9 releases the pressure to drive the card block 10 to engage with the card slot 7, thereby firmly limiting the protective frame 4. The engagement of the sealing gasket 6 with the sealing card slot 3 and the engagement of the card block 10 with the card slot 7 can effectively improve the sealing performance, prevent external substances such as dust and water vapor from invading the interior of the instrument panel, and protect the instrument panel components from damage. The arc angle 11 can reduce the friction and resistance when the card block 10 is engaged with the card slot 7, making the installation smoother and easier. The movement of the limit spring 9 drives the card block 10 to move, and the movement of the card block 10 drives the limit block 13 to slide in the sliding slot 12, which is convenient for limiting the limit spring 9 to prevent the limit spring 9 from deflecting during the movement.
