[0026] like Figure 1-6The lower guard plate assembly of the automobile instrument shown includes an arc plate 1 as the main part. A clearance groove 105 is provided on the top of the arc plate 1 for fitting with the edge of the automobile instrument panel. The inner wall of the arc plate 1 has a transverse reinforcing rib 2 surrounding the clearance groove 105. The transverse reinforcing rib 2 is actually a C-shape with an opening facing upward. The transverse reinforcing rib 2 includes a horizontal positioning bar 201 and a longitudinal limit bar 202. There are two longitudinal limit bars 202, which are distributed at both ends of the positioning bar 201. The side of the positioning bar 201 facing away from the arc plate 1 has a groove structure for fitting with the raised structure of the mounting bracket of the automobile instrument panel. The upper end of the limit bar 202 can be pressed against the lower edge of the automobile instrument panel, thereby providing additional support to the automobile instrument panel and improving the installation accuracy.

[0027] The arc plate 1 is also provided with a configuration hole 103 that passes through the inner and outer walls, for components such as mechanical dials or ignition buttons to pass through, making it convenient for the driver to observe and operate. The arc plate 1 is also provided with an integrated structural reinforcement ring 7 on the periphery of the configuration hole 103. By increasing the thickness around the configuration hole 103, the structural strength of the configuration hole 103 is ensured. The structural reinforcement ring 7 includes a front convex ring 701 located on the outer side of the arc plate 1, and a rear convex ring 702 located on the inner wall of the arc plate 1, and the inner diameters of the front convex ring 701 and the rear convex ring 702 are both larger than the inner diameter of the configuration hole 103, so that a stepped structure is formed near the configuration hole 103, which can better constrain the installed components. The touchable part of the component is installed in the front convex ring 701, and the intouchable part is installed in the rear convex ring 702. After the two parts of the component are fixed to each other, they can be stably installed in the configuration hole 103.

[0028] The top of the arc plate 1 has an upper card plate 3. In fact, the upper card plate 3 is divided into two discontinuous parts. The upper card plate 3 is only distributed on the top surface of the arc plate 1 except the makeshift groove 105. The upper card plate 3 structure is not required in the makeshift groove 105. The upper card plate 3 includes a retreat plate 301 integrated with the arc plate 1. The front of the retreat plate 301 has a card groove 302. The inner wall of the card groove 302 is obviously further back than the front of the arc plate 1 and is used to engage with the lower edges of the decorative panels on both sides of the car dashboard. The bottom inner wall of the arc plate 1 also has a lower card plate 4. The specific structure of the lower card plate 4 includes a hard plate 401 located on the rear side of the arc plate 1. The rear side of the hard plate 401 has an elastic plate extending downward. 402. In fact, the hard plate 401 and the elastic plate 402 are both integrated with the arc plate 1 and are made of plastic. The difference is that the hard plate 401 is thicker and is not easily deformed due to the constraint of the arc plate 1 body, and appears to be relatively hard. The elastic plate 402 is far away from the arc plate 1 and is thinner, making it easier to demonstrate its elastic deformation ability. A sealing groove 107 is provided on the inner wall of the arc plate 1 below the hard plate 401, facing the elastic plate 402 for engaging with the bracket structure below the car instrument. A socket 104 is provided on the bottom front of the arc plate 1 that passes through the sealing groove 107, for a flat-headed ice pick to pass through and press against the elastic plate 402 to make it tilt up.

[0029] The left inner wall of the arc plate 1 has a first longitudinal rib 5, which can improve the shape stability of the arc plate 1. The left side of the first longitudinal rib 5 is located to the right of the left side of the arc plate 1. The L-shaped groove structure formed between the left side of the first longitudinal rib 5 and the inner wall of the arc plate 1 can be engaged with the decorative plate structure on the left, which can effectively prevent dust from entering the decorative plate through the matching gap; the right inner wall of the arc plate 1 also has a second longitudinal rib 6, and the right side of the second longitudinal rib 6 is located to the left of the right side of the arc plate 1. It is also used to form an L-shaped groove structure for engaging with the decorative plate on the right to improve the overall shape. The dust-proof performance of the vehicle interior is improved, and the shape stability of the arc plate 1 is further improved. The right side of the arc plate 1 is also provided with an extended cover plate 106, which is used to cover the frame structure in front of the central armrest in the vehicle. The longitudinal dimension of the extended cover plate 106 is smaller than the longitudinal dimension of the arc plate 1, reserving a position for the central armrest installed above; the front side of the arc plate 1 is also provided with an atmosphere light groove 102 extending to the extended cover plate 106, which is used for the installation of linear atmosphere lights. The arc plate 1 is provided with a wire threading hole 101 connected to the inner wall in the atmosphere light groove 102 for the power cord of the atmosphere light to pass through.

[0030] Installation method: When installing, first engage the upper card plate 3 on the top of the guard plate with the lower edges of the decorative panels on both sides of the car dashboard, then support the bottom of the guard plate and apply a slight upward extrusion force to deform it, then push the lower card plate 4 forward and it will naturally slide into the back of the lower decorative panel, and the upper edge of the lower decorative panel will engage with the sealing groove 107, and at the same time, the left side of the first longitudinal rib 5 will also engage with the right side of the left decorative panel, and the right side of the second longitudinal rib 6 will also engage with the left side of the right decorative panel; when disassembling, let the end of the flat-headed ice cone pass through the socket 104 to support the hard plate 401, forcing the elastic plate 402 to tilt backward and deform, because the arc plate 1 will also be slightly deformed by the upward extrusion force, so the flat-headed ice cone only needs to be lifted upward with force, and the lower card plate 4 can be separated from the lower decorative panel, and then the upper card plate 3 is separated from the upper decorative panel, thus completing the quick disassembly.
