The instrument panel frame 5 is located on the side of the instrument panel 1 facing away from the vehicle cabin, that is, on the inside of the instrument panel 1. By securely connecting the fragrance generator 3 to the instrument panel frame 5, the fragrance generator 3 is stably mounted inside the instrument panel 1. When the cover 2 is opened, the fragrance block 7 can be replaced through the opening 11.

[0035] It should be noted that when the fragrance generator 3 is fixedly installed on the dashboard frame 5, the fragrance block 7 can be located on the side of the fragrance generator 3 facing the opening 11, so that when the cover 2 is opened, the driver and passengers can easily replace the fragrance block 7 through the opening 11.

[0036] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the instrument panel assembly further includes an adapter bracket 6 , a first mounting hole 51 is provided on the instrument panel frame 5 , the adapter bracket 6 is detachably mounted at the first mounting hole 51 , and the fragrance generator 3 is mounted on the adapter bracket 6 .

[0037] Specifically, the adapter bracket 6 is installed at the first mounting hole 51 of the instrument panel frame 5 and fastened to the instrument panel frame 5 by bolts. The fragrance generator 3 is fixedly mounted on the adapter bracket 6 , thereby achieving stable installation of the fragrance generator 3 on the instrument panel frame 5 .

[0038] In addition, compared to directly installing the fragrance generator 3 at the first mounting hole 51 of the dashboard frame 5, the first mounting hole 51 in this embodiment does not need to match the size of the smaller fragrance generator 3. The size of the first mounting hole 51 can be set larger. After removing the dashboard guard plate 1, the fragrance generator 3 and the adapter bracket 6, the left domain controller, fuse box and other devices inside the dashboard frame 5 can be disassembled and repaired through the first mounting hole 51.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, a second mounting hole 61 is provided on the adapter bracket 6 , and the fragrance generator 3 is snapped into the second mounting hole 61 .

[0040] Specifically, the shape and size of the second mounting hole 61 match the shape and size of the fragrance generator 3. Part of the fragrance generator 3 can pass through the second mounting hole 61 to extend into the interior of the instrument panel frame 5. The fragrance generator 3 can be snapped into the second mounting hole 61 through the clip thereon to achieve convenient installation of the fragrance generator 3 on the adapter bracket 6. When the fragrance generator 3 needs to be removed, it can be pulled out with force.

[0041] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the fragrance generator 3 is connected to the cover plate 2 .

[0042] Specifically, when the cover 2 covers the opening 11, the fragrance generator 3 is located on the inner side of the instrument panel guard 1, and the fragrance generator 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the cover 2 facing away from the vehicle cabin, that is, the inner side, so as to realize the arrangement of the fragrance generator 3 on the inner side of the instrument panel guard 1; when the cover 2 is opened, the fragrance generator 3 is exposed to the outside as the cover 2 moves, and the driver and passengers can easily replace the fragrance block 7.

[0043] It should be noted that, when the fragrance generator 3 is fixed to the cover 2 , the fragrance block 7 can be located on the side of the fragrance generator 3 away from the cover 2 , so that the fragrance block 7 can be replaced more conveniently when the cover 2 is opened.

[0044] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the instrument panel assembly further includes a fragrance duct 4 , one end of which is connected to the fragrance generator 3 , and the other end of which is used to be connected to the face-blowing air duct 8 of the automobile air conditioner.

[0045] Specifically, the fragrance duct 4 can be a flexible hose that can be stretched and deformed. The fragrance generator 3 is connected to the face-blowing air duct 8 through the fragrance duct 4. The fragrance released by the fragrance generator 3 is guided through the fragrance duct 4 to the face-blowing air duct 8 and blown directly toward the driver and passengers from the outlet of the face-blowing air duct 8, thereby effectively releasing the fragrance. Moreover, no additional fragrance outlet is required, simplifying the structural design. In addition, when the car air conditioner is operating, the larger air volume of the air conditioner can be used to better disperse the fragrance, thereby improving the fragrance dispersion effect and the fragrance experience of the driver and passengers.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the instrument panel guard plate 1 is optionally the lower left instrument panel guard plate, that is, located on the driver's side and below the instrument panel.
