[0025] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides an instrument panel structure, which includes an instrument panel body 1 and a support member 2. The instrument panel body 1 has an airbag avoidance hole 11 and a passenger airbag area that are interconnected; the support member 2 is located in the airbag avoidance hole 11 and is detachably connected to the inner wall of the airbag avoidance hole 11.
[0027] Because the instrument panel body 1 has an airbag avoidance hole 11 connected to the passenger airbag area, and the support member 2 is disposed in the airbag avoidance hole 11 and detachably connected to the inner wall of the airbag avoidance hole 11, when the vehicle does not have a passenger airbag, the support member 2 can support the airbag avoidance hole 11, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the instrument panel body 1 and preventing the airbag avoidance hole 11 from collapsing after prolonged use or the placement of objects, thereby affecting the quality of the instrument panel body 1. When the vehicle is equipped with a passenger airbag, the staff can remove the support member 2 from the airbag avoidance hole 11, thereby avoiding the passenger airbag. The instrument panel structure of the utility model allows the support member 2 to be removed according to actual needs, thereby meeting both the situation of the vehicle having a passenger airbag and the situation of the vehicle having a passenger airbag, and effectively solves the problem in the prior art that when there is no passenger airbag, the airbag avoidance hole 11 is not supported, and the passenger airbag area is prone to collapse after prolonged use or the placement of objects.
[0028] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the support member 2 includes a support plate 21 and a first disassembly plate 22 and a second disassembly plate 23 connected to both ends of the support plate 21. With this arrangement, the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23 are both detachably connected to the inner wall of the airbag avoidance hole 11. By removing the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23, the entire support member 2 can be disassembled, which is convenient and quick.
[0029] Optionally, the method for disassembling the first disassembly plate 22 and the second disassembly plate 23 is as follows: a worker can cut the first disassembly plate 22 and the second disassembly plate 23 with a cutting knife.
[0030] Specifically, to facilitate removal of the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23, the thickness of the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23 are both set to 0.5 mm to 1 mm. While ensuring the connection strength between the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23 and the inner wall of the airbag avoidance hole 11, the thickness of the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23 can be set according to actual needs. The thickness of the first disassembly plate 22 can be selected to be 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, or 1 mm, etc. Similarly, the thickness of the second disassembly plate 23 can be selected to be 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, or 1 mm, etc.
[0031] Furthermore, to facilitate removal of the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23, the lengths of the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23 are both 30 mm to 35 mm in the extension direction of the support plate 21. The lengths of the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23 can be adjusted based on actual needs. The lengths of the first and second disassembly plates 22, 23 can be 30 mm, 31 mm, 32 mm, 33 mm, 34 mm, or 35 mm, for example. Similarly, the lengths of the second and second disassembly plates 23 can be 30 mm, 31 mm, 32 mm, 33 mm, 34 mm, or 35 mm, for example.
[0032] In some embodiments, multiple support members 2 are provided, spaced apart, and each support member 2 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the airbag avoidance hole 11. This arrangement can improve the overall structural strength of the instrument panel body 1 and prevent the airbag avoidance hole 11 from collapsing due to prolonged use or the placement of objects.
[0033] Furthermore, the airbag avoidance hole 11 is rectangular in shape, wherein the plurality of support members 2 are spaced apart along the length direction of the airbag avoidance hole 11; or the plurality of support members 2 are spaced apart along the width direction of the airbag avoidance hole 11. Both of the above methods can achieve the purpose of improving the overall structural strength of the instrument panel body 1;
[0034] Optionally, a plurality of support members 2 may be arranged side by side and tilted relative to the length direction of the airbag avoidance hole 11 , which can also improve the overall structural strength of the instrument panel body 1 .
[0035] In order to facilitate the connection with the first disassembly plate 22 and the second disassembly plate 23, in this solution, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support plate 21 includes a plate body 211 and a first transition plate 212 and a second transition plate 213 connected to both ends of the plate body 211. Since the thickness of the plate body 211 is greater than that of the first disassembly plate 22, the first transition plate 212 is provided to facilitate connection with the first disassembly plate 22, and the second transition plate 213 is provided to facilitate connection with the second disassembly plate 23. The first transition plate 212 and the second transition plate 213 are both triangular structures.
[0036] Specifically, the support member 2 is made of PP+EPDM-T20 or PP+GF20 or PP+LGF20 material.
[0037] Among them, PP+EPDM-T20 is a modified plastic material. PP (polypropylene): as a base resin, it has the characteristics of low density, non-toxicity, good chemical stability and heat resistance; EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber): as a modifier, after compounding with PP, it can significantly improve the material's impact resistance, weather resistance and processing performance; T20: usually refers to the content ratio of EPDM in PP, that is, 20% MF (mass fraction) EPDM rubber compounded PP automotive material.
[0038] PP+GF20 is a composite material of polypropylene (PP) reinforced with 20% glass fiber (GF).
[0039] PP+LGF20 is a long fiber reinforced plastic (LFRP). PP stands for polypropylene, while LGF20 indicates that the material contains 20% long glass fiber. This material combines the advantages of polypropylene with the high strength and high modulus of long glass fiber, resulting in an engineering plastic with high strength, high heat resistance, and good dimensional stability.
[0040] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body and the instrument panel structure of the aforementioned solution, wherein the instrument panel body 1 of the instrument panel structure is mounted on the vehicle body. The vehicle further includes an upper instrument panel trim, which is disposed on the instrument panel body 1 and covers the airbag avoidance hole 11 and the passenger airbag area. In a vehicle employing this solution, the support member 2 can be removed as needed, thereby accommodating both passenger airbag-free and passenger airbag-equipped vehicles. This effectively solves the prior art problem of the passenger airbag area collapsing easily after prolonged use or after the placement of objects, as the airbag avoidance hole 11 is left unsupported in the absence of a passenger airbag. Specifically, the support member 2 is arranged in the airbag avoidance hole 11 and is detachably connected to the inner wall of the airbag avoidance hole 11. In this way, when the vehicle does not have a passenger airbag, the airbag avoidance hole 11 can be supported by the support member 2, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the instrument panel body 1, and avoiding the problem of the airbag avoidance hole 11 collapsing after long-term use or placing objects, thereby affecting the quality of the instrument panel body 1; when the vehicle has a passenger airbag, the staff can remove the support member 2 from the airbag avoidance hole 11, thereby avoiding the passenger airbag.
[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
