DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 14 A dashboard assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0036] In the prior art, in order to facilitate assembly and maintenance, a maintenance cover is generally reserved for instrument installation. The gap formed by the maintenance cover and the decorative parts is visible, which affects the exquisiteness and minimalist design of the entire vehicle interior.

[0037] To this end, the utility model proposes a new instrument panel assembly 100 to solve the above technical problems.

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the instrument panel assembly 100 includes: an instrument panel body 1 , an instrument 2 and an instrument mounting bracket 3 .

[0039] The instrument panel body 1 forms a mounting opening 11, and the instrument 2 covers the mounting opening 11. A protrusion 21 is provided on one side of the instrument 2, and one end of the instrument mounting bracket 3 is sleeved and connected to the protrusion 21, and the other end is used to connect with the instrument panel cross beam 4.

[0040] Specifically, during the installation of the meter 2, the meter mounting bracket 3 is first fixed on the instrument panel cross beam 4, and then the meter 2 is placed at the mounting opening 11, and the protrusion 21 on the back of the meter 2 is directly inserted into one end of the meter mounting bracket 3, thereby achieving the installation of the meter 2. In this way, through the installation relationship between the meter 2 and the meter mounting bracket 3 on the instrument panel cross beam 4, the need for a maintenance cover during the installation of the meter 2 is effectively avoided, the purpose of eliminating the installation seam is achieved, and the exquisiteness of the interior of the entire vehicle is enhanced.

[0041] In addition, flanges are provided around the mounting opening 11 and abut against the back of the instrument 2 to avoid a gap between the instrument 2 and the mounting opening 11, prevent the instrument 2 from shaking during driving, and further enhance the exquisiteness of the interior.

[0042] Therefore, the utility model changes the assembly method of the instrument 2 and the dashboard body 1, and effectively fixes the instrument 2 through the instrument mounting bracket 3. While ensuring the supporting effect of the instrument 2, it eliminates the need for a maintenance cover during the installation of the instrument 2, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating the installation seam, enhancing the refinement of the entire vehicle interior, and enhancing the high-end and refinement of the entire vehicle, greatly satisfying the user's needs for refinement, luxury, and minimalist design.

[0043] See Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the utility model, the instrument mounting bracket 3 includes: a first plate portion 31, a second plate portion 32 and a third plate portion 33, the first plate portion 31, the second plate portion 32 and the third plate portion 33 are connected in sequence, and the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33 are bent in the same direction relative to the second plate portion 32 to form an accommodating space 34 for inserting the protrusion 21, and the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33 are abutted against the opposite sides of the protrusion 21.

[0044] In this way, the first plate portion 31, the second plate portion 32 and the third plate portion 33 are connected in sequence, and the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33 are bent in the same direction relative to the second plate portion 32 to form a receiving space 34, which is roughly C-shaped. In this way, the contraction under force makes the protrusion 21 more tightly secured in the receiving space 34, effectively preventing the risk of assembly failure at the mounting point, so that the protrusion 21 can be directly inserted into the receiving space 34, and the protrusion 21 is abutted by the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33, effectively solving the problem of loose installation of the meter 2 and the meter mounting bracket 3, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the meter 2 and the meter mounting bracket 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the plate surface of the second plate portion 32 is expanded from one end close to the instrument 2 to one end close to the instrument panel cross beam 4, so that the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33 connected to both sides of the second plate portion 32 are arranged in a direction away from each other.

[0046] In this way, the plate surface of the second plate portion 32 gradually widens from the end close to the instrument panel 2 to the end close to the instrument panel cross beam 4 to form a flared shape, so that the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33 are arranged in a direction away from each other, so that the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33 can be fixed at different installation positions of the instrument panel cross beam 4 respectively, and the connection strength between the instrument mounting bracket 3 and the instrument panel cross beam 4 is improved. In addition, the second plate portion 32 in a flared shape can improve the structural strength of the instrument mounting bracket 3 and further strengthen the connection strength between the instrument mounting bracket 3 and the instrument panel cross beam 4.

[0047] Furthermore, a folding portion 35 is provided at one end of the first plate portion 31 and the third plate portion 33 close to the instrument panel cross beam 4 , and the folding portion 35 is closely connected to the instrument panel cross beam 4 .

[0048] In this way, the folded portion 35 of the first plate portion 31 is closely connected to the instrument panel cross beam 4, and the first plate portion 31 can be fixedly connected to the instrument panel cross beam 4 by bolts 51. Similarly, the folded portion 35 of the third plate portion 33 is also the same, which will not be described in detail.

[0049] See Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, further, the instrument panel assembly 100 also includes: a connecting component 5, the connecting component 5 includes a bolt 51 and a nut 52, after the protrusion 21 is sleeved in one end of the instrument mounting bracket 3, the bolt 51 passes through the protrusion 21 and the instrument mounting bracket 3 and is connected to the nut 52.

[0050] In order to better avoid the problem of loose installation between the instrument 2 and the instrument mounting bracket 3, on the basis of the sleeve connection between the protrusion 21 and the instrument mounting bracket 3, the protrusion 21 and the instrument mounting bracket 3 are sequentially penetrated by bolts 51 and threadedly connected with the nut 52, thereby further improving the connection strength between the instrument mounting bracket 3 and the instrument 2.

[0051] It should be noted that the direction in which the bolt 51 is inserted is perpendicular to the direction in which the protrusion 21 is inserted into the instrument mounting bracket 3. In the embodiment of the present invention, the bolt 51 is inserted along the up-down direction of the vehicle, and the protrusion 21 is inserted into the instrument mounting bracket 3 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the instrument panel body 1 includes: an instrument panel decorative panel 12 and an instrument panel frame 13, the instrument panel decorative panel 12 is covered on the instrument panel frame 13, the instrument panel decorative panel 12 forms a mounting port 11, an opening 14 is formed on the instrument panel frame 13, and the protrusion 21 passes through the mounting port 11 and the opening 14 and is sleeved and connected with the instrument mounting bracket 3.

[0053] In this configuration, the instrument panel frame 13 serves as a supporting frame, so that the instrument decorative panel 12 covers the instrument panel frame 13, and the instrument 2 covers the mounting opening 11 on the instrument decorative panel 12. Moreover, the opening 14 on the instrument panel frame 13 allows the protrusion 21 of the instrument 2 to pass through, and when the instrument 2 is placed in the mounting opening 11, the protrusion 21 passes through the mounting opening 11 and the opening 14 in sequence to be inserted into one end of the instrument mounting bracket 3.

[0054] Among them, see Figure 8 As shown, the area of ​​the installation opening 11 is larger than the area of ​​the opening 14, so that the size of the installation opening 11 is adapted to the back structure of the meter 2. The opening 14 is for the protrusion 21 to pass through, and the size of the opening 14 can be adapted to the structure of the protrusion 21.

[0055] Further, see Fig. 9 As shown, a limiting portion 22 is provided on the protruding portion 21 , and the limiting portion 22 passes through the installation port 11 and the opening 14 in sequence and abuts against the opening 14 .

[0056] With such a configuration, when the limiting portion 22 passes through the installation opening 11 and the opening 14 along with the protrusion 21, the limiting portion 22 can abut against the opening 14, so that the protrusion 21 of the instrument 2 will not shake at the opening 14, effectively improving the problem of uneven gap between the instrument 2 and the instrument decorative panel 12 after installation, thereby effectively improving the installation strength of the instrument 2, effectively ensuring that the instrument 2 will not shake during driving of the vehicle, and satisfying the user's comfortable experience.

[0057] Furthermore, the limiting portion 22 passes through the mounting opening 11 and the opening 14 in sequence, and abuts against one end of the instrument mounting bracket 3 .

[0058] In this way, after the position-limiting portion 22 passes through the installation opening 11 and the opening 14, it abuts against one end of the instrument mounting bracket 3, effectively preventing the problem of being unable to position during assembly, and solving the problem of uneven gap between the liquid crystal instrument 2 and the instrument decorative plate 12. In this way, after the protruding portion 21 is inserted and positioned, the protruding portion 21 and the instrument mounting bracket 3 are connected through the connecting component 5.

[0059] According to one embodiment of the utility model, see Fig. 9 As shown, the limiting portion 22 is a limiting rib, and the limiting rib is gradually thinned from one end close to the instrument 2 to the other end, so that the surface where the limiting rib abuts against the opening 14 is an inclined surface.

[0060] Specifically, one side surface of the protrusion 21 protrudes to form a limiting rib, and the limiting rib gradually becomes thinner from one end close to the instrument 2 to the other end so that the surface of the limiting rib is an inclined surface. In this way, along the sleeve direction between the protrusion 21 and the instrument mounting bracket 3, the limiting rib gradually penetrates the opening 14 until it abuts against the opening 14, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven gap between the instrument 2 and the instrument decorative panel 12 after installation, and further improving the installation strength of the instrument 2.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the instrument mounting bracket 3 includes: a straight section 36 and a curved section 37, a socket is formed on the straight section 36, and the socket is sleeved and connected to the protrusion 21, the curved section 37 is connected to one end of the straight section 36 away from the protrusion 21, and the curved section 37 is bent relative to the straight section 36 in the direction of the instrument panel cross beam 4 for connection with the instrument panel cross beam 4.

[0062] In this arrangement, a socket is formed on the straight section 36 so that the protrusion 21 can be inserted into the socket, and the curved section 37 is connected to one end of the straight section 36 away from the protrusion 21, and is bent relative to the straight section 36 and extends to the dashboard cross beam 4, so that one end of the curved section 37 is fixedly connected to the dashboard cross beam 4.

[0063] In some embodiments, the instrument decorative panel 12 and the mounting opening 11 can select different surface treatment processes according to the vehicle model, such as painting, leather graining, coating, etc., and have strong scalability.

[0064] In some embodiments, the instrument panel cross beam 4 can be made of magnesium-aluminum alloy material, or steel stamping and welding pipe beam material, and is also applicable to steel-plastic structure pipe beam material, without specific limitation.

[0065] The vehicle according to the second embodiment of the utility model includes: an instrument panel assembly 100, the instrument panel assembly 100 also includes an instrument panel cross beam 4, the instrument panel cross beam 4 is arranged on the side of the instrument panel body 1 away from the instrument 2, and the instrument mounting bracket 3 is installed on the instrument panel cross beam 4. In addition, the instrument panel body 1 also includes an instrument covering decorative panel 15, which is covered on the instrument panel frame 13.

[0066] The installation process of the instrument panel assembly 100 can be referred to as follows: Fig.11 As shown, the instrument panel frame 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 41 on the instrument panel cross beam 4 by means of mounting bolts 51; Fig.12 As shown, the instrument panel 15 is mounted to the instrument panel frame 13 by means of an A-type clip; Fig.13 As shown, the instrument panel 12 is mounted to the instrument panel frame 13 by means of an A-type clip; Fig. 9 As shown, the instrument 2 is inserted into the left and right instrument mounting brackets 3 through the protrusions 21, and the left and right instrument mounting brackets 3 are provided with welding nuts 52, as shown in FIG.
