[0022] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, the driver knee trim panel assembly provided in this embodiment includes the knee trim panel main body 1. One side of the knee trim panel main body 1 is fixedly connected with the first side plate 11. The side of the knee trim panel main body 1 far from the first side plate 11 is fixedly connected with the second side plate 12. An avoidance opening is provided on the upper side of the knee trim panel main body 1, and an arc side plate 13 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the avoidance opening. A plurality of connecting bumps 21 are fixedly connected to the knee trim panel main body 1, and the plurality of connecting bumps 21 are respectively distributed at the position on the side of the knee trim panel main body 1 close to the first side plate 11 and at the position on the side of the knee trim panel main body 1 close to the second side plate 12. The side of the connecting bump 21 far from the knee trim panel main body 1 is fixedly connected with the first connecting piece 22. A plurality of second connecting pieces 23 are fixedly connected to the side of the knee trim panel main body 1 close to the connecting bump 21, and the plurality of second connecting pieces 23 are respectively distributed at the upper side of the knee trim panel main body 1 and at the periphery of the avoidance opening. The knee trim panel main body 1 is connected to the vehicle instrument panel through the first connecting piece 22 and the second connecting piece 23, and the two sides and the middle position of the knee trim panel main body 1 are supported and fixed, so that the connection between the knee trim panel main body 1 and the vehicle instrument panel is more stable. The connecting bump 21 is used to fixedly support the first connecting piece 22. The first side plate 11, the second side plate 12 and the arc side plate 13 are used to increase the bearing strength of the knee trim panel main body 1 and at the same time increase the aesthetics of the knee trim panel main body 1.
[0023] Secondly, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, on one side of the knee trim panel body 1 close to the connecting bump 21, there are a plurality of reinforcing meshes 31. The reinforcing meshes 31 are polygonally distributed on one side of the knee trim panel body 1. On one side of the arc-shaped side plate 13, a plurality of reinforcing plates 32 are fixedly connected. One side of the reinforcing plate 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the knee trim panel body 1. On one side of the knee trim panel body 1 close to the connecting bump 21, a plurality of first positioning members 51 and second positioning members 52 are fixedly connected. A plurality of first positioning members 51 are located at the position on one side of the knee trim panel body 1 close to the avoidance opening, and the second positioning member 52 is located at the upper side position of the knee trim panel body 1, and the second positioning member 52 is located between the arc-shaped side plate 13 and the first side plate 11. By using the reinforcing meshes 31 to increase the strength of the knee trim panel body 1, the knee trim panel body 1 is no longer easily deformed. By using the reinforcing plates 32 to increase the strength of the arc-shaped side plate 13, the connection between the knee trim panel body 1 and the arc-shaped side plate 13 is more firm.

The connecting bump 21 is used to fixedly support the first connecting member 22. The first side plate 11, the second side plate 12, and the arc-shaped side plate 13 are used to increase the tolerance strength of the knee trim panel body 1 and at the same time increase the aesthetics of the knee trim panel body 1. The strengthening grid 31 is used to increase the strength of the knee trim panel body 1, making the knee trim panel body 1 less likely to deform. The strengthening plate 32 is used to increase the strength of the arc-shaped side plate 13, making the connection between the knee trim panel body 1 and the arc-shaped side plate 13 more firm. The first positioning member 51 and the second positioning member 52 are used to position the installation of the knee trim panel body 1 and increase the connection between the knee trim panel body 1 and the vehicle instrument panel, enabling the installation of the knee trim panel body 1 to be quickly positioned and more firm.
