The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 6 , this application provides an automotive instrument panel. The automotive instrument panel is applied to an automobile. The front-rear direction (i.e., the length direction) of the automobile is the x-direction, the left-right direction (i.e., the width direction) of the automobile is the y-direction, and the up-down direction (i.e., the vertical direction) of the automobile is the z-direction.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, the automobile includes a ceiling 5 and an automotive instrument panel, a driver's seat 6 and a passenger seat 7 located below the ceiling 5. The driver's seat 6 and the passenger seat 7 are both located behind the automotive instrument panel. Then, the side of the instrument panel close to the driver's seat 6 is the rear side of the instrument panel.

[0033] In this embodiment, an airbag 8 is provided at the position of the ceiling 5 corresponding to the passenger seat 7. It can be understood that the airbag 8 is top-mounted to avoid occupying the passenger space on the passenger side, that is, the front space on the passenger side is released, increasing the comfort of the passenger.

[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the above-mentioned automotive instrument panel includes an instrument panel 1. The instrument panel 1 includes a first part 11 corresponding to the driver's seat 6 of the automobile and a second part 12 corresponding to the passenger seat 7 of the automobile. Among them, the first part 11 and the second part 12 are arranged in sequence along the first direction A. It should be noted that the first direction A is the direction from left to right and then backward of the automobile; or, the direction from right to left of the automobile. In this embodiment, since the driver's seat 6 is located on the left side of the passenger seat 7, then, the first direction A is the direction from left to right of the automobile.

[0035] Both the above-mentioned first part 11 and the second part 12 extend along the left-right direction of the automobile. The trailing edge of the second part 12 is located in front of the trailing edge of the first part 11. The trailing edge of the second part 12 is connected to the trailing edge of the first part 11 through an inclined wall 132, and the inclined wall 132 gradually slopes forward along the first direction. That is to say, along the front-rear direction of the automobile, there is a gap between the trailing edge of the second part 12 and the trailing edge of the first part 11, that is, the second part 12 is moved forward relative to the first part 11.

[0036] It can be understood that the second part 12 of the instrument panel 1 is moved forward relative to the first part 11, that is, the occupation of the co-pilot side space is released, the riding space on the co-pilot side is increased, and the riding experience and feeling of the co-pilot occupants are improved. The existence of the inclined wall makes the riding space on the co-pilot side expand towards the driver's side, further increasing the activity space on the co-pilot side. In addition, the size of the instrument panel is reduced, and the development cost of the instrument panel itself is lowered.

[0037] In one embodiment, a part protruding backward can be provided in the area of the instrument console corresponding to the driver's seat, so that the part of the instrument console other than the area corresponding to the driver's seat is moved forward relative to the protruding part. In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the rear part of the instrument panel 1 is recessed forward in the area other than the position corresponding to the driver's seat 6 to form a recessed area 13, and the foremost edge 131 of the recessed area 13 is the rear edge of the second part 12 mentioned above. The design of the recessed area ensures integrity and avoids the problem of disassembling parts. In this embodiment, the side wall of the recessed area 13 close to the first part 11 is the inclined wall 132 mentioned above. The instrument panel 1 further includes a third part 17 located between the first part 11 and the second part 12, and the rear wall of the third part 17 is the inclined wall 132. Refer to Figure 2 and define the dividing line between the first part 11 and the third part 17 as a dashed line B, and the dividing line between the second part 12 and the third part 17 as a dashed line C. In order to ensure the rear row space and the front row space on the co-pilot side of the vehicle while improving the riding experience of the co-pilot occupants, the rear edges of the first part 11 and the second part 12 both extend along the left-right direction of the vehicle. The distance L between the rear edges of the first part 11 and the second part 12 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is 100 mm to 150 mm. In one embodiment, the distance L is 100 mm. In another embodiment, the distance L is 150 mm. In this embodiment, the distance L is 123 mm. It can be understood that according to different vehicle models and actual requirements, the size of the distance L can be adjusted. When the distance is between 100 mm and 150 mm, while meeting the assembly requirements of other vehicle components, the riding space on the co-pilot side is increased.

[0038] The above-mentioned instrument panel 1 is provided with an air outlet 100 for blowing air at the inclined wall 132 or a position close to the inclined wall 132. That is to say, the above-mentioned recessed area 13 covers the position of the air outlet 100. The existence of the aforementioned air outlet 100 can supply air to the vehicle interior. For example, in winter, the hot air blown out from the air outlet 100 heats the vehicle interior, and in summer, the cold air blown out from the air outlet keeps the vehicle interior cool.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the above dashboard 1 includes a skeleton plate 14 and a covering member 15 arranged in sequence from front to back. The covering member 15 covers the rear surface of the skeleton plate 14. The rear surface of the skeleton plate 14 is the surface located inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the skeleton plate 14 is in a V shape with an opening 16 facing forward, and includes an upper plate 141 and a lower plate 142 connected in sequence from top to bottom. Facing forward means facing the front of the vehicle. Among them, the upper plate 141 gradually slopes backward from top to bottom, and the lower plate 142 gradually slopes backward from bottom to top. In order to make the connection between the upper plate 141 and the lower plate 142 smoother, the connection between the upper plate 141 and the lower plate 142 is a smooth transition connection. Define the connection position 143 where the upper plate 141 and the lower plate 142 are connected. The rear edges of the above first part 11 and the second part 12 both correspond to the connection position 143. As Figure 3 shown, the above lower plate 142 is recessed upward at the position corresponding to the recessed area 13 to form a concave area 1421. A part of the above covering member covers the concave area 1421. It can be understood that the existence of the concave area 1421 increases the leg accommodation space for the co-pilot and improves the experience and comfort of the co-pilot.

[0040] A cavity (not shown in the figure) is defined inside the above dashboard 1, and a glove box 2 is provided at the position corresponding to the second part 12 inside the cavity. In this embodiment, the cavity is located between the above skeleton plate 14 and the covering member 15. As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, an accommodation cavity 21 with an open end facing backward is defined inside the glove box 2. Facing backward means facing the rear of the vehicle. An opening 16 communicating with the open end is provided at the position corresponding to the open end in the rear area of the dashboard 1, and a cover plate 3 for opening or closing the opening 16 is provided at the opening 16. In this embodiment, the opening 16 is located on the upper plate 141 and the covering member 15 corresponding to the upper plate 141.

[0041] In one embodiment, the lower part of the above cover plate 3 is rotatably constrained to the glove box 2 or the dashboard 1, and the rotation axis of the cover plate 3 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the upper part of the cover plate 3 is rotatably constrained to the glove box 2 or the upper plate 141, and the rotation axis of the cover plate 3 extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle. In order to facilitate opening the cover plate, a button is usually provided, and the cover plate is opened by pressing the button. This will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0042] It can be understood that by using the upward flipping method, when the opening 16 is in the open state, the cover plate 3 does not occupy the space near the knees of the co-pilot, that is, it does not squeeze the leg space of the co-pilot.

[0043] As Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, a crossbeam 4 is provided in front of the instrument panel 1 and is connected to the instrument panel 1. The crossbeam 4 is in streamline fit with the rear wall panel of the instrument panel 1. The crossbeam 4 is arranged along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the crossbeam 4 includes a first cross-section 41 corresponding to the first part 11, a second cross-section 42 corresponding to the second part 12, and a connecting section 43 connecting the first cross-section 41 and the second cross-section 42. Among them, both the first cross-section 41 and the second cross-section 42 extend along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the first cross-section 41 is located behind the second cross-section 42.

[0044] In addition, in an embodiment, the connecting section 43 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In an embodiment, along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the connecting section 43 is located between the first cross-section 41 and the second cross-section 42. The connecting section 43 includes a first section and a second section connected in sequence. The first section extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the second section extends along the left-right direction of the vehicle. In another embodiment, along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the connecting section 43 only includes an inclined section 431 located between the first cross-section 41 and the second cross-section 42, and the inclined section 431 gradually tilts forward along the first direction A.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the connecting section 43 includes only an inclined section 431 that gradually tilts forward along the first direction. Along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the inclined section 431 is located between the first cross-section 41 and the second cross-section 42. In this embodiment, in addition to including the above-mentioned inclined section 431, the connecting section 43 further includes a transverse section 432 extending along the left-right direction of the vehicle. Along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the transverse section 432 is also located between the first cross-section 41 and the inclined section 431. The first end of the aforementioned transverse section 432 is connected to the end of the first cross-section 41 close to the second cross-section 42 through a connecting member, and the second end of the transverse section 432 is connected to the rear end of the inclined section 431. The front end of the inclined section 431 is connected to the end of the second cross-section 42 close to the first cross-section 41. In addition, the connection between the transverse section 432 and the inclined section 431 is a smooth transition connection, and the connection between the inclined section 431 and the second cross-section 42 is a smooth transition connection.

[0046] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0047] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patented application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several variations and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
