[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships in which the product of this application is typically placed when in use. These terms are intended solely to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" and the like are used solely for distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] It should also be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a dashboard, such as Figure 3 As shown, the instrument panel includes a base housing 100 , a mounting housing 200 and a heat dissipation plate 310 .

[0028] The base housing 100 has an installation cavity 120 for accommodating and installing components inside the instrument panel. The base housing 100 has a snap-fit ​​opening for connecting the installation cavity 120 to the outside.

[0029] The snap-fitting housing 200 is installed at the snap-fitting opening on the base housing 100 to close the snap-fitting opening.

[0030] The heat sink 310 is positioned along a predetermined direction on the outer wall of the base housing 100, and is positioned at a first predetermined angle relative to the outer wall of the base housing 100. During use, the base housing 100 and the mounting housing 200 are exposed to sunlight, causing them to heat up. Heat from the mounting housing 200 is then transferred to the base housing 100, which in turn is transferred to the heat sink 310. The heat sink 310 then comes into contact with the outside air, dissipating the heat to the outside world.

[0031] For example, the instrument panel is provided on a vehicle. During vehicle travel, the direction of the wind received by the heat sink 310 on the base housing 100 is opposite to the vehicle's travel direction. In this embodiment, the preset direction is perpendicular to the vehicle's travel direction, that is, the heat sink 310 is perpendicular to the vehicle's travel direction, so that the contact area between one side of the heat sink 310 and the wind is maximized, and the heat exchange efficiency between the heat sink 310 and the air is high. Of course, in other embodiments, the preset direction is at an angle α to the vehicle's travel direction, that is, the heat sink 310 is at an angle α to the vehicle's travel direction, where 0°≤α<90°. When α=0°, the heat sink 310 is parallel to the vehicle's travel direction, and air can flow through both sides of the heat sink 310, ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 310 while reducing the vehicle's wind resistance.

[0032] For example, 0° < first preset angle ≤ 90°. In this embodiment, the first preset angle = 90°, meaning the heat sink 310 is perpendicularly mounted on the base housing 100, with the sidewalls of the heat sink 310 perpendicular to the outer wall of the base housing 100. In another embodiment, the first preset angle = 10°. In another embodiment, the first preset angle = 45°.

[0033] Exemplarily, at least one heat sink 310 is provided. In this embodiment, one heat sink 310 is provided. In another embodiment, two heat sinks 310 are provided, and the two heat sinks 310 are arranged in parallel or in a cross pattern. In another embodiment, four heat sinks 310 are provided, and the four heat sinks 310 are arranged in parallel or in a cross pattern. In another embodiment, five heat sinks 310 are provided, and the five heat sinks 310 are arranged in parallel or in a cross pattern.

[0034] By installing heat sink 310 on the outer wall of base housing 100, the area of ​​contact with air is increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of components within the instrument panel. In particular, when heat sink 310 is perpendicular to the vehicle's direction of travel, the wind contact area of ​​one side of heat sink 310 is maximized, further improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the instrument panel also includes mounting members 320, at least two of which are provided on the inner wall of the mounting chamber 120. The mounting members 320 can provide a mounting base for the internal components of the instrument panel and space the components inside the instrument panel from the inner wall of the base housing 100 by a preset distance. The provided mounting members 320 can space the internal components of the instrument panel from the base housing 100, effectively preventing the heat from the base housing 100 from being directly and extensively transferred to the components. This spacing arrangement helps dissipate heat from the components themselves, preventing them from experiencing performance degradation or damage due to overheating, thereby extending the service life of the components. Since the mounting members 320 provide a stable mounting base for the components and help reduce failures caused by overheating, the maintenance cost of the instrument panel can be reduced. At the same time, the spacing arrangement also facilitates the inspection and replacement of components, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.

[0036] Exemplarily, the preset distance is set according to actual needs, such as 3 cm, 5 cm, etc.

[0037] For example, two mounting members 320 are provided. In another embodiment, three mounting members 320 are provided. In another embodiment, four mounting members 320 are provided. In another embodiment, five mounting members 320 are provided. Of course, other numbers of mounting members 320 may also be provided, such as six, seven, or eight.

[0038] Mounting members 320 not only provide a mounting base for the instrument panel's internal components but also enhance the stability and reliability of the entire instrument panel structure through spacing. This structural design helps reduce stress concentration and deformation caused by direct contact between components and the housing, improving the overall performance of the instrument panel.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the internal components of the instrument panel include a PCB board 330, which is mounted on a mounting member 320. The mounting member 320 provides a stable mounting base for the PCB board 330, ensuring its stable position within the instrument panel and making it less susceptible to external vibrations or shocks. This stability is crucial for ensuring the proper operation and service life of the PCB board 330 and the electronic components thereon. Separating the PCB board 330 from the base housing 100 by the mounting member 320 effectively prevents the PCB board 330 from directly contacting the heat from the base housing 100, thereby reducing direct heat conduction. This spacing arrangement helps dissipate heat from the PCB board 330, preventing performance degradation or damage due to overheating. Mounting the PCB board 330 on the mounting member 320 makes it easier to maintain or replace the PCB board 330, improving maintenance convenience and efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a mounting groove 210 is formed on one end of the snap-on housing 200 away from the base housing 100 .

[0041] The instrument panel also includes a display 340, which is mounted in the mounting recess 210. The inner wall of the mounting recess 210 limits the displacement of the display 340. In one exemplary embodiment, the display 340 is electrically connected to the PCB 330. In another embodiment, the PCB 330 includes an integrated controller capable of controlling the display 340. It should be understood that the controller on the PCB 330 is also electrically connected to other vehicle devices, such as sensors. Of course, the controller need not necessarily be integrated on the PCB 330.

[0042] Exemplarily, the display 340 includes but is not limited to: a CRT display (Cathode Ray Tube), an LCD display (Liquid Crystal Display), an LED display, an OLED display (Organic Light-Emitting Diode), a QLED display (Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode), a Mini LED display, a Micro LED display, and a 3D display, etc.

[0043] Mounting groove 210 provides a precise, customized mounting location for display 340, ensuring that display 340 remains stable after installation and is not susceptible to displacement or dislodging due to vibration or external forces. This secure mounting method helps improve the overall reliability and durability of the instrument panel.

[0044] In one embodiment, a ventilation groove is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 210 that contacts the display 340. The provision of the ventilation groove reduces the contact area between the display 340 and the mounting shell 200, reduces the heat conducted from the mounting shell 200 to the display 340, and can increase heat exchange with the air through the ventilation groove.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a wiring channel 220 is formed in the bottom wall of the mounting groove 210. The mounting groove 210 communicates with the mounting chamber 120 through the wiring channel 220, enabling the display 340 to be electrically connected to the PCB board 330. This avoids the cumbersome wiring layout and connection process, reducing installation difficulty and cost.

[0046] The mounting groove 210 is connected to the mounting chamber 120 via the wiring channel 220, creating a channel for air circulation between the display 340 and the mounting chamber 120. This helps improve air flow within the instrument panel and provides favorable conditions for heat dissipation. This improved air flow accelerates heat dissipation within the instrument panel, thereby reducing component temperatures. This heat dissipation method helps extend the service life of components and improves the overall performance and stability of the instrument panel.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting groove 210 has a first stepped groove body 212 and a second stepped groove body 214. The second stepped groove body 214 is closer to the base shell 100 than the first stepped groove body 212. The display 340 is arranged in the second stepped groove body 214. The inner wall of the second stepped groove body 214 can limit the displacement of the display 340.

[0048] The instrument panel further includes a cover plate 350 , which is installed in the first stepped groove 212 to seal the first stepped groove 212 .

[0049] The first stepped groove 212 and the second stepped groove 214 provide a more stable installation environment for the display 340. The inner wall of the second stepped groove 214 can fit closely to the display 340, effectively limiting its displacement and ensuring that the display 340 remains stable after installation.

[0050] The cover 350 is installed in the first stepped groove 212, forming a sealed structure that prevents dust, moisture, and other foreign matter from entering the interior of the mounting groove 210, thereby protecting the display 340 from damage. This sealing design improves the overall protection level of the instrument panel and extends the service life of the display 340.

[0051] The rational design of the stepped troughs allows full utilization of the space within the instrument panel. The layered layout of the first stepped trough 212 and the second stepped trough 214 allows the display 340 and the cover 350 to be compactly mounted together, improving space utilization. Because the display 340 and the cover 350 are mounted in separate stepped troughs, one component can be removed and replaced independently during maintenance without affecting the other. This design reduces the difficulty and complexity of maintenance.

[0052] For example, the cover 350 is made of a transparent material, such as glass, plastic, or resin, so that the display content of the display 340 can be clearly transmitted to the driver through the cover 350. The transparent cover 350 not only maintains the overall aesthetics of the instrument panel, but also improves the readability and clarity of the information.

[0053] In one embodiment, the instrument panel further includes a heat exchange tube, which extends through the mounting chamber 120. One end of the heat exchange tube opens on the base housing 100, and the other end opens on the mounting housing 200. By introducing the heat exchange tube and arranging its two ends at different positions, the principle of air pressure difference is utilized to promote the accelerated flow of air within the heat exchange tube. This arrangement can significantly improve the heat exchange tube's cooling effect on the mounting chamber 120, helping to reduce the operating temperature of the instrument panel's internal components, thereby improving their operational stability and service life. Furthermore, the optimized cooling effect also helps improve the overall performance of the instrument panel, ensuring its normal operation in various harsh environments.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the instrument panel further includes a quick-connect post 360 , which is fixedly disposed on the base housing 100 or the snap-on housing 200 . There is at least one quick-connect post 360 . The instrument panel is quickly installed on the vehicle via the quick-connect post 360 .

[0055] Exemplarily, the quick-connect post 360 includes a fixing portion and a column portion. The fixing portion is fixedly mounted on the base housing 100 and / or the mounting housing 200. The fixing portion is fixedly connected to the column portion. A first conical block and a second conical block are disposed on the end of the column portion away from the fixing portion. The first conical block and the second conical block are coaxially disposed on the column portion. The bottom radii of the first and second conical blocks are different and both are greater than the radius of the column portion. The first and second conical blocks are integrally formed to form an irregular conical block structure. This conical block structure can be snapped into a matching hole in the vehicle, allowing the instrument panel to be quickly installed on the vehicle via the quick-connect post 360.

[0056] For example, in this embodiment, two quick-connect posts 360 are provided. In another embodiment, one quick-connect post 360 is provided. In another embodiment, three quick-connect posts 360 are provided. In another embodiment, four quick-connect posts 360 are provided. Of course, other numbers of quick-connect posts 360 may also be provided, such as five, six, or seven.

[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the quick-connect post 360 is provided on the base housing 100. In another embodiment, the quick-connect post 360 is provided on the snap-on housing 200. In another embodiment, the quick-connect post 360 is provided on both the base housing 100 and the snap-on housing 200.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a protrusion 110 is provided at the snap-fitting opening on the basic shell 100, and the protrusion 110 has a first end 112 and a second end 114. The first end 112 is snap-fitted to the snap-fitting shell 200, and the second end 114 is fixedly connected to the basic shell 100. The thickness of the first end 112 is less than the thickness of the second end 114.

[0059] A slot 230 is provided at the portion of the snap-on housing 200 that is connected to the base housing 100 . The width of the slot 230 opening is greater than the width of the bottom of the slot 230 . The first end 112 and the second end 114 are sealed with the slot 230 .

[0060] The thickness of the first end 112 of the protrusion 110 is smaller than that of the second end 114. This gradual thickness design makes it easier for the first end 112 to be inserted into the slot 230 during the connection process, while the second end 114 provides sufficient strength and stability to ensure the reliability of the connection.

[0061] The width of the opening of the slot portion 230 is greater than the width of the bottom. This design allows the protrusion 110 to produce a certain degree of elastic deformation when inserted, so that it fits more closely in the slot portion 230, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0062] The sealing cooperation between the raised portion and the slot portion 230 can effectively prevent external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the interior of the instrument panel, thereby protecting the electronic components and circuits inside the instrument panel and extending their service life.

[0063] The tight sealing fit can also reduce possible gas or liquid leakage inside the instrument panel, improving the overall performance and safety of the instrument panel.

[0064] Due to the gradual thickness design of the protrusion 110 and the design that the opening width of the slot portion 230 is greater than the bottom width, the instrument panel can be more conveniently aligned and inserted during installation, thereby simplifying the installation process.

[0065] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, comprising a frame and an instrument panel as described in any of the above embodiments, the instrument panel being disposed on the frame. For example, the vehicle includes but is not limited to a car, a motorcycle, or an electric bicycle.

[0066] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
