Technical Field:

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of magnesium alloy automobile parts, and more specifically to a split dashboard bracket for a steering column mounting bracket. Background Art:

[0002] The existing automobile dashboard brackets are generally made of magnesium alloy, and they are generally of an integral structure. A steering column bracket is directly formed thereon, and the integral forming greatly improves the processing efficiency. However, since the steering column bracket needs to be directly formed, the requirements for the mold increase, the volume of the mold increases, and the manufacturing cost of the mold is very high.

[0003] In current new energy vehicles, the replacement speed is faster than that of fuel vehicles. When updating the structure, in order to reduce the development and design costs, the main body of the dashboard generally does not change much or basically does not change, but components such as the steering column bracket will be changed according to design needs. For example, some new accessories are added. At this time, the entire dashboard bracket needs to be replaced, and a new mold needs to be opened, greatly increasing the cost. Content of the Utility Model:

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a split dashboard bracket for a steering column mounting bracket. It separates the design of the instrument panel crossbeam and the steering column mounting bracket.

[0026] At the same time, when the vehicle is improved in design, after the structure of the steering column mounting bracket 20 is changed, it is not necessary to change the instrument panel cross beam 10. It can still be formed by the original mold manufacturing. Only a new steering column mounting bracket 20 needs to be newly tooled, and the development cost is greatly reduced, and the manufacturing cost is also reduced.

[0027] Furthermore, the front wall surface and the rear wall surface of the wall plate around the mounting through hole 12 are both flat surfaces.
