Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile instrument screen installation structures, in particular to an installation structure between an automobile instrument screen shell and an IP frame. Background Art

[0002] The car instrument screen is mainly used to display vehicle driving information to the driver. Currently, large-area floating car instrument screens are increasingly favored by drivers. By placing large-area floating car instrument screens on the dashboard, it can provide drivers with a better user experience. The traditional car instrument screen is mainly equipped with an instrument screen bracket b on the back of the car instrument screen housing a. Figure 1 As shown, open a mounting hole on the instrument panel with the same width as the instrument panel bracket, and then insert the instrument panel bracket on the back of the car instrument panel housing into the mounting hole and fix it to the IP (Instrument Panel) frame c ( Figure 1 The IP skeleton in the figure is a simplified schematic diagram). However, the space on the instrument panel is limited, and the instrument panel bracket is too large. Opening a mounting hole of corresponding size on the instrument panel takes up a lot of space. In addition, the oversized instrument panel bracket further increases the material cost. Utility Model Content

The clamping foot holes provided on the instrument panel occupy less space, and only two clamping feet are used for connection to the IP frame, resulting in a simpler structure and lower material cost. In addition, by passing bolts through the bolt holes for fixing to the IP frame, the stability of the connection between the two clamping feet and the IP frame can be further enhanced. In addition, by having the protrusions on the clamping feet pressed against the inner wall of the IP frame, the clamping feet can be prevented from deflecting in the up and down directions, thereby enhancing the stability of the automobile instrument panel.

[0018] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the present invention, it should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, inside, outside, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, counterclockwise, clockwise, circumferential, radial, axial...), then the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0020] A mounting structure between a car instrument panel housing and an IP frame, such as Figure 2 - Figure 3 As shown, it includes two clamping feet 1 extending from the car instrument screen housing, and there is a avoidance opening 2 between the clamping feet to avoid the instrument panel after the clamping feet are installed in the IP frame. The clamping feet are provided with bolt holes 3 for bolts to penetrate and fix with the IP frame. Figure 4 As shown, the clamping foot is provided with a protrusion 4 which is pressed against the inner wall of the IP frame.

[0021] Since the avoidance openings between the clamping pins can avoid the instrument panel, the instrument panel only needs to have two clamping pin holes, and the two clamping pins extending from the back of the car instrument screen shell can be inserted into the IP frame, and then fixed to the IP frame by passing bolts through the bolt holes. The clamping pin holes opened on the instrument panel take up less space, and only two clamping pins are used to connect to the IP frame, so the structure is simpler and the material cost is lower. In addition, by passing bolts through the bolt holes to fix to the IP frame, the stability of the connection between the two clamping pins and the IP frame can be further enhanced. In addition, by pressing the raised portion on the clamping pin against the inner wall of the IP frame, the clamping pin can be prevented from deflecting in the up and down directions, thereby enhancing the stability of the car instrument screen.

[0022] The raised portion 4 can be provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the card foot, the raised portion on the upper surface protrudes upward, and the raised portion on the lower surface protrudes downward. By providing raised portions on the upper and lower surfaces of the card foot, the raised portions on the card foot can be tightly pressed against the upper inner wall and lower inner wall of the IP frame card slot, further enhancing the stability of the automobile instrument screen.

[0023] In addition, the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping foot are provided with multiple protrusions, so that the multiple protrusions form a wavy surface on the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping foot. The wavy surface formed by the protrusions on the clamping foot can better press against the upper and lower inner walls of the IP frame slot, further preventing the clamping foot from deflecting in the upper and lower directions and enhancing the stability of the car instrument screen. In this embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the clamping foot are provided with two protrusions such as Figure 4As shown, the upper and lower surfaces of the clip are respectively abutted against the upper and lower inner walls of the IP frame slot by two raised portions, thereby preventing vertical movement of the clip and enhancing the stability of the vehicle instrument panel. The elastic raised portion can be made of a plastic material. Through the elastic deformation of the plastic elastic raised portion, it can be easily assembled into the slot of the IP frame. In addition, the elastic deformation can also cushion the vibration transmitted from the IP frame to the vehicle.

[0024] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, chamfers 5 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the end of the clamping foot. By chamfering the upper and lower surfaces of the end of the clamping foot, it is easier to assemble the clamping foot into the IP frame.

[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping foot close to the side of the automobile instrument screen shell is provided with a limiting column 6 that is embedded in the groove at the end of the IP frame and pressed against the end of the IP frame. By limiting the column 6 on the clamping foot close to the side of the automobile instrument screen shell, the clamping foot can be embedded in the groove at the end of the IP frame when assembled into the IP frame, which not only can achieve a more accurate positioning effect, but also can prevent the displacement of the clamping foot, and can further enhance the stability of the connection between the two clamping feet and the IP frame.

[0026] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the detailed embodiments of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the detailed embodiments described above, nor does it imply that the present invention must rely on the detailed embodiments described above in order to be implemented. Persons skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent replacements of raw materials for the present invention, addition of auxiliary ingredients, and selection of specific methods, etc., fall within the scope of protection and disclosure of the present invention.
