[0046] The instrument panel cross member 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the instrument panel cross member 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is for a vehicle 1000 and includes a main cross member 1, a secondary cross member 2, a first end plate 3, and a second end plate 4.

[0048] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the main cross member 1 is the main body of the instrument panel cross member 100 and also the main support structure. It is located inside the instrument panel and can provide key support for instrument panel trim, occupant side airbag, steering column 202, wiring harness, etc. The secondary cross member 2 and the main cross member 1 are arranged in the left - right direction of the vehicle 1000 (as Figure 1 shown). The secondary cross member 2 mainly functions as a connection and support, is used to connect the main cross member 1 and other components, and meets the installation of the air conditioner 203, can meet the stiffness and strength requirements at different arrangements of the instrument panel cross member 100, and improves the assembly accuracy of the instrument panel cross member 100. Further, referring to Figure 2 shown, the first end plate 3 and the second end plate 4 are respectively connected to the ends of the main cross member 1 and the secondary cross member 2 that face away from each other. Through the first end plate 3 and the second end plate 4, the main cross member 1 and the secondary cross member 2 can be mounted on the mounting brackets of the body - in - white 201 of the vehicle 1000.

[0049] Further, referring to Figure 2As shown, the ends of the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 close to each other are connected by a first connecting bracket 5, and the plane where the first connecting bracket 5 is located is perpendicular to the left-right direction. It can be understood that in the prior art, the instrument panel cross beams of different models are different. For different models, the instrument panel cross beams need to be redesigned and molded. The instrument panel cross beams of different models cannot be shared, resulting in a large waste of design costs, manufacturing costs and development cycles.

[0050] The utility model arranges the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 separately. The main pipe beam 1 is fixed on the body-in-white 201 through the first end plate 3, and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 is fixed on the body-in-white 201 through the second end plate 4. According to the requirements of different vehicle models, the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 can be respectively assembled to the required positions, and then the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 are respectively connected to the first connecting bracket 5 to realize the indirect connection between the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2. It is not mandatory to set the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 relative to each other. By adjusting the connection point between the main pipe beam 1 and the first connecting bracket 5 and the connection point between the auxiliary pipe beam 2 and the first connecting bracket 5, the height difference between the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 is absorbed, and the difference in length and height between different vehicle models is absorbed. It can realize cross-platform and cross-model application, improve the compatibility of the instrument panel cross beam 100, do not need to redevelop the mold of the instrument panel cross beam 100, and do not need too much design verification, greatly reduce the development cost and production manufacturing cost of the instrument panel cross beam 100, shorten the production manufacturing cycle of the instrument panel cross beam 100, and improve the development efficiency of the instrument panel cross beam 100. It should be noted that if the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 are arranged opposite to each other, they can also be directly welded.

[0051] Further, see Appendix Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 As shown, one end of the main beam 1 facing away from the auxiliary beam 2 is connected to the first end plate 3 through the second connecting bracket 6, which is used to adjust the distance between the main beam 1 and the first end plate 3 in the left-right direction, so as to realize the adjustable length of the instrument panel cross beam 100 in the left-right direction. The structure is simple, the principle is simple, and the adjustment is convenient. The flexible expansion of the instrument panel cross beam 100 is realized at a relatively low cost, the design constraints on the shape and the instrument panel are reduced, and the compatibility of the instrument panel cross beam 100 is improved. There is no need to add additional tooling costs such as molds and fixtures, which greatly reduces the development cost and production cost of the instrument panel cross beam 100, shortens the production cycle of the instrument panel cross beam 100, and improves the development efficiency of the instrument panel cross beam 100.

[0052] It can be understood that only the ends of the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 that are close to each other can be connected through the first connecting bracket 5; only the end of the main pipe beam 1 that is away from the auxiliary pipe beam 2 can be connected to the first end plate 3 through the second connecting bracket 6; or the main pipe beam 1 can be connected to the first end plate 3 in the length direction (see the attached Figure 2One end of the pipe beam 2 is connected to the auxiliary pipe beam 2 through a first connecting bracket 5, and the other end is connected to the first end plate 3 through a second connecting bracket 6.

[0053] Optionally, refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, the instrument panel cross beam 100 also includes a middle bracket 9, and the middle bracket 9 is arranged along the up and down direction (such as Figure 2 The middle bracket 9 is extended as shown in the figure, the lower end of the middle bracket 9 is fixed on the body-in-white 201 of the vehicle 1000, and the upper end is connected to the auxiliary tube beam 2, which can support and fix the auxiliary tube beam 2, thereby ensuring the assembly stability and reliability of the dashboard cross beam 100.

[0054] According to the dashboard cross beam 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the main beam 1 and the auxiliary beam 2 are split and arranged, and the ends of the main beam 1 and the auxiliary beam 2 that are close to each other are connected by a first connecting bracket 5, and the end of the main beam 1 that is away from the auxiliary beam 2 is connected to the first end plate 3 by a second connecting bracket 6, which is used to adjust the distance between the main beam 1 and the first end plate 3 in the left and right directions. It can absorb the differences in length, width and height of different vehicle models, realize cross-platform and cross-model applications, improve the compatibility of the dashboard cross beam 100, and do not need to redevelop the mold of the dashboard cross beam 100, and do not need too much design verification, which greatly reduces the development cost and production manufacturing cost of the dashboard cross beam 100, shortens the production manufacturing cycle of the dashboard cross beam 100, and improves the development efficiency of the dashboard cross beam 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting bracket 5 has a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, and the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 are respectively arranged in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, which can play a positioning role for the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2, reduce the difficulty of connecting the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 with the first connecting bracket 5, facilitate the connection of the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 with the first connecting bracket 5, ensure the connection reliability between the main pipe beam 1, the first connecting bracket 5 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2, and improve the stability of the instrument panel cross beam 100. It should be noted that the positions of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole on the first connecting bracket 5 of different models can be different to match the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 respectively.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, a first reinforcing plate 51 is provided on the side of the first connecting bracket 5 facing the main beam 1. One end of the first reinforcing plate 51 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the main beam 1, and the other end is connected to the first connecting bracket 5 and is separated from the main beam 1. The provision of the first reinforcing plate 51 can play a reinforcing role, improve the connection reliability between the main beam 1 and the first connecting bracket 5, and further improve the reliability and stability of the instrument panel cross beam 100. Preferably, asFigure 3 As shown, the extending direction of the main pipe beam 1 (refer to the left - right direction shown in the appendix Figure 2 ), the extending direction of the first reinforcing plate 51 (refer to the e - direction shown in the appendix Figure 3 ) and the plane where the first connecting bracket 5 is located generally form a triangle. The triangle has stability, which can make the connection among the main pipe beam 1, the first reinforcing plate 51 and the first connecting bracket 5 more reliable, and further improve the reliability of the instrument panel cross - beam 100.

[0057] Furthermore, referring to the appendix Figure 5 and the appendix Figure 6 As shown, a second reinforcing plate 52 is provided on the side of the first connecting bracket 5 facing the auxiliary pipe beam 2. One end of the second reinforcing plate 52 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the auxiliary pipe beam 2, and the other end is connected to the first connecting bracket 5 and spaced apart from the auxiliary pipe beam 2. The setting of the second reinforcing plate 52 can play a strengthening role, improve the connection reliability between the auxiliary pipe beam 2 and the first connecting bracket 5, and further improve the reliability and stability of the instrument panel cross - beam 100.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 are welded to the first connecting bracket 5. The welded connection makes the connection strength between the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2 and the first connecting bracket 5 high and reliable, ensures the stability of the instrument panel cross - beam 100, and can save materials and reduce the production and processing cost of the instrument panel cross - beam 100. It should be noted that during the welding operation, there is no impact, and the stress intensity is very high, which is safer and more reliable than other connection methods.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to the appendix Figure 7 and the appendix Figure 8 As shown, the second connecting bracket 6 is located on the side of the first end - plate 3 facing the main pipe beam 1. The second connecting bracket 6 has a third mounting hole 61, and a flanging 62 that bends in the direction away from the first end - plate 3 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the third mounting hole 61. The flanging 62 extends along the outer edge of the third mounting hole 61 as a ring. One end of the main pipe beam 1 away from the auxiliary pipe beam 2 extends into the flanging 62. The settings of the third mounting hole 61 and the flanging 62 can play a positioning role for the main pipe beam 1, reduce the connection difficulty between the main pipe beam 1 and the first end - plate 3, facilitate the connection between the main pipe beam 1 and the first end - plate 3, ensure the connection reliability between the main pipe beam 1 and the first end - plate 3, and improve the stability of the instrument panel cross - beam 100.

[0060] It should be noted that after the main pipe beam 1 extends into the flanging 62, the depth of the main pipe beam 1 extending into the flanging 62 is adjusted, and a suitable position is selected for welding and fixing. The welded connection enables the connection between the main pipe beam 1 and the second connection bracket 6 to have high strength and good reliability, ensuring the stability of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, and can save materials and reduce the production and processing cost of the instrument panel crossbeam 100. It should be noted that there is no impact during the welding operation, and the stress intensity is very high, which is safer and more reliable than other connection methods.

[0061] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to the attached Figure 7 and the attached Figure 8 As shown, along the left-right direction, the folding length of the flanging 62 is a, and the length of the main pipe beam 1 extending into the flanging 62 is b, and it satisfies: 5mm ≤ b ≤ a. The maximum overlapping length of the main pipe beam 1 and the flanging 62 in the left-right direction is a, and the minimum overlapping length is 5mm, so as to ensure the effective welding of the main pipe beam 1 and the flanging 62, ensure the connection stability between the main pipe beam 1 and the second bracket, and ensure the reliability of the instrument panel crossbeam 100. For example, the folding length a of the flanging 62 can be 20mm, 23mm, 25mm, 27mm or 30mm. In a specific example, the folding length a of the flanging 62 is 25mm, and the length b of the main pipe beam 1 extending into the flanging 62 satisfies 5mm ≤ b ≤ 25mm, and an adjustment amount of 20mm can be achieved.

[0062] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to the attached Figure 7 and the attached Figure 9 As shown, the third mounting hole 61 is an oblong hole extending along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000 (as Figure 9 shown). After the main pipe beam 1 extends into the flanging 62, the main pipe beam 1 can move along the front-rear direction in the oblong hole. By adjusting the position of the main pipe beam 1 in the flanging 62, the adjustment of the main pipe beam 1 in the front-rear direction can be realized, further absorbing the height difference between the main pipe beam 1 and the auxiliary pipe beam 2, realizing the absorption of differences in length and height of different vehicle models, enabling cross-platform and cross-vehicle applications, improving the compatibility of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, reducing the development cost and production and manufacturing cost of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, shortening the production and manufacturing cycle of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, and improving the development efficiency of the instrument panel crossbeam 100.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to the attached Figure 8As shown, the instrument panel crossbeam 100 further includes a third connecting bracket 7. One end of the secondary pipe beam 2 facing away from the main pipe beam 1 is connected to the second end plate 4 through the third connecting bracket 7, which is used to adjust the distance between the secondary pipe beam 2 and the second end plate 4 in the left-right direction, realizing the adjustable length of the instrument panel crossbeam 100 in the left-right direction. The structure is simple, the principle is simple, and the adjustment is convenient. The flexible expansion of the instrument panel crossbeam 100 is achieved at a relatively low cost, reducing the design constraints on the styling and the instrument panel, improving the compatibility of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, without the need to increase additional tooling costs such as molds and jigs, greatly reducing the development cost and manufacturing cost of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, shortening the manufacturing cycle of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, and improving the development efficiency of the instrument panel crossbeam 100.

[0064] It should be noted that the first end plate 3 and the main pipe beam 1 are connected through the second connecting bracket 6, and the second end plate 4 and the secondary pipe beam 2 are connected through the third connecting bracket 7, both of which can be used to adjust the length of the instrument panel crossbeam 100 in the left-right direction, increasing the adjustable length of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, further improving the compatibility of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, and improving the user experience. Preferably, along the center line of the vehicle 1000, the third connecting bracket 7 and the second connecting bracket 6 are symmetrically arranged, which can reduce the number of molds of the instrument panel crossbeam 100 and further reduce the production and processing cost of the instrument panel crossbeam 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to the attached Figure 2 and the attached Figure 4 As shown, the instrument panel crossbeam 100 further includes a steering column mounting bracket 8. The steering column mounting bracket 8 is used to mount the steering column 202. The steering column mounting bracket 8 has a mating surface 81 that fits against the outer wall surface of the main pipe beam 1. The steering column mounting bracket 8 is connected to the main pipe beam 1. Since the cross-section of the main pipe beam 1 is circular and the main pipe beam 1 is a circular pipe, the mating surface 81 should be a corresponding arc surface. When assembling the steering column mounting bracket 8 and the main pipe beam 1, due to the differences in human-machine, steering column types, H-points (the rotation point where the human torso is connected to the thigh), etc. of different vehicle models, the position of the main pipe beam 1 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1000 is inconsistent. Therefore, the steering column mounting bracket 8 can be rotated around the main pipe beam 1 until the required angle is adjusted and then welded and fixed to absorb the width differences and steering column differences of different vehicle models.

[0066] It can be understood that during the assembly of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, the first end plate 3 and the second end plate 4 that are common to multiple vehicle models are designed according to the mounting bracket positions of the white body 201 of the reference vehicle model. The connection position between the main crossbeam 1 and the first end plate 3 is adjusted. According to the layout of the steering column 202, the matching angle between the column mounting bracket 8 and the main crossbeam 1 is adjusted, and the column mounting bracket 8 is assembled onto the main crossbeam 1. According to the layout design of the air conditioner 203 and the middle bracket 9, the connection position between the auxiliary crossbeam 2 and the second end plate 4 is adjusted. According to the offset distance between the main crossbeam 1 and the auxiliary crossbeam 2 of each vehicle model, it is determined whether the main crossbeam 1 and the auxiliary crossbeam 2 can be directly welded. If so, the main crossbeam 1 and the auxiliary crossbeam 2 are directly welded to form a complete instrument panel crossbeam 100. If they cannot be directly welded, the main crossbeam 1 and the auxiliary crossbeam 2 are indirectly connected by rotating, translating, and changing the first connecting bracket 5 and bridging and welding them to form a complete instrument panel assembly.

[0067] The present utility model also proposes a vehicle 1000 having the instrument panel crossbeam 100 of the above embodiment.

[0068] For the vehicle 1000 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the above-mentioned instrument panel crossbeam 100, the main crossbeam 1 and the auxiliary crossbeam 2 are disassembled and arranged. One end of the main crossbeam 1 and the auxiliary crossbeam 2 that are close to each other is connected by the first connecting bracket 5, and the end of the main crossbeam 1 facing away from the auxiliary crossbeam 2 is connected to the first end plate 3 by the second connecting bracket 6, which is used to adjust the distance between the main crossbeam 1 and the first end plate 3 in the left-right direction. It can absorb the differences in length, width, and height of different vehicle models, realize cross-platform and cross-vehicle applications, improve the compatibility of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, eliminate the need to re-develop the mold for the instrument panel crossbeam 100, and require little design verification, greatly reducing the development cost and production and manufacturing cost of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, shortening the production and manufacturing cycle of the instrument panel crossbeam 100, and improving the development efficiency of the instrument panel crossbeam 100.

[0069] The other constitutions and operations of the instrument panel crossbeam 100 and the vehicle 1000 according to the embodiment of the present utility model are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail here.
