[0051] As vehicle technology matures and develops, vehicles are gradually becoming a part of more and more people's daily lives. Vehicles not only need to meet people's daily travel needs in terms of power, but also need to innovate in terms of internal functions to bring more convenience to people's lives.

[0052] Vehicle dashboards are typically equipped with decorative panels. These panels cover the dashboard surface, preventing scratches, wear, and other damage, and extending the dashboard's lifespan. The main function of the decorative panels is to beautify the dashboard and enhance the overall visual appeal of the vehicle's interior.

[0053] However, in related technologies, the trim panel is usually set as a smooth plate. The trim panel does not have a corresponding mechanism to store small items. Small items cannot be placed on the trim panel and can only be placed in other parts of the vehicle interior space, resulting in low utilization of the vehicle interior space and poor practicality of the trim panel.

[0054] In view of this, embodiments of this application propose an instrument panel for a vehicle and a vehicle, the instrument panel including a main instrument panel and a trim panel.

[0055] The main instrument panel includes a main instrument panel frame and a main instrument panel body. Along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the main instrument panel body covers the rear side of the main instrument panel frame. A decorative panel is fixedly connected to the main instrument panel frame. Along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, at least a portion of the decorative panel protrudes from the rear side of the main instrument panel body. The decorative panel is provided with a plurality of first mounting portions for mounting functional components.

[0056] In the above solution, the decorative panel is provided with multiple first mounting parts, which are used to install functional components. This can effectively utilize the space inside the vehicle, provide additional storage space for the driver and passengers, and optimize the interior layout. On the other hand, setting the functional components on the first mounting parts can reduce the chance of the functional components rolling around or being lost inside the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of driving the vehicle.

[0057] The functional components disclosed in the embodiments of this application include, but are not limited to, small table, mobile phone stand, and makeup mirror.

[0058] For ease of explanation, the following embodiments will be described using an example of a vehicle dashboard according to an embodiment of this application.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , Figure 1 This is a usage scenario diagram of the decorative ring provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 2 This is an installation scenario diagram of the decorative ring provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the decorative ring provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the decorative ring provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the front side of the decorative ring provided in an embodiment of this application;

[0060] Figure 6 for Figure 5 Sectional view in the AA direction; Figure 7 for Figure 5 Sectional view in the BB direction;

[0061] Figure 8 for Figure 5 Sectional view in the CC direction; Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of the vehicle 100 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0062] Please refer to the following carefully. Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment, the dashboard 110 for the vehicle 100 includes a main dashboard 110 and a decorative panel 150. The main dashboard 110 includes a main dashboard frame 130 and a main dashboard body 140. The main dashboard body 140 is disposed on the main dashboard frame 130. The decorative panel 150 is fixedly connected to the main dashboard frame 130. Along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle 100, at least a portion of the decorative panel 150 protrudes from the rear side of the main dashboard body 140. The decorative panel 150 is provided with a plurality of first mounting portions 160, which are used to mount functional components.

[0063] As its name suggests, the main instrument panel frame 130 is the framework of the main instrument panel 110, supporting the entire main instrument panel 110. The main instrument panel body 140 can cover the main instrument panel frame 130 to prevent the main instrument panel frame 130 from being exposed. This reduces the chance of the main instrument panel frame 130 being exposed and reduces the amount of dust and other impurities entering the main instrument panel frame 130.

[0064] The trim panel 150 is fixedly connected to the main instrument panel frame 130, meaning that the trim panel 150 can be directly connected to the main instrument panel frame 130, and a portion of the main instrument panel frame 130 is not covered by the main instrument panel body 140. Alternatively, the trim panel 150 can be detachably fixedly connected to the main instrument panel frame 130. This detachable connection design allows maintenance personnel to quickly and easily remove the trim panel 150 or the main instrument panel 110 when it malfunctions or is damaged, without requiring complex disassembly of the entire instrument panel 110. This significantly reduces maintenance time and costs.

[0065] Along the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle 100, at least a portion of the trim panel 150 protrudes from the rear side of the main instrument panel body 140, that is, a portion of the trim panel 150 can pass through the main instrument panel body 140, thereby connecting the trim panel 150 to the main instrument panel frame 130.

[0066] The decorative panel 150 has a plurality of first mounting portions 160, which can be one, two, or more. For example, the first mounting portion 160 can be configured as a recess, allowing customers to store or install functional items such as vanity mirrors, small tables, or phone holders. This allows for the placement of different items according to the owner's needs, improving the utilization of interior space.

[0067] Specifically, the decorative panel 150 is provided with a number of first mounting portions 160, which are used to install functional components. This can effectively utilize the space inside the vehicle, provide additional storage space for the driver and passengers, and optimize the interior layout. On the other hand, setting the functional components on the first mounting portions 160 can reduce the probability of the functional components rolling around or being lost inside the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the user when driving the vehicle 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, the decorative panel 150 includes a decorative panel outer panel and a decorative panel frame, with the decorative panel outer panel covering the decorative panel frame to prevent the decorative panel frame from being exposed and to improve the aesthetics of the decorative panel 150.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the decorative panel 150 includes a first decorative panel 151, which extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100.

[0070] The length extension direction of the first decorative panel 151 is parallel to the left-right direction Y of the vehicle. For example, the first decorative panel 151 can extend in the left-right direction Y to the front of the entire driver's seat and the passenger seat, or it can extend only to the driver's seat or the passenger seat. This application embodiment does not impose a specific limitation on the length of the first decorative panel 151.

[0071] The decorative panel 150 includes a first decorative panel 151, which extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100. This allows the length of the first decorative panel 151 to be customized according to the specific vehicle model and user needs, making it more suitable for the user and achieving customized design. Furthermore, it reduces the space occupied inside the vehicle, making the interior space more spacious.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment of the application, the decorative panel 150 further includes a second decorative panel 152, which extends along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100 and along the up-down direction Z of the vehicle. The second decorative panel 152 and the first decorative panel 151 are at least partially spaced apart.

[0073] The decorative panel 150 includes a first decorative panel 151 and a second decorative panel 152. Along the vertical direction Z of the vehicle 100, the first decorative panel 151 and the second decorative panel 152 are at least partially spaced apart, that is, the projection of the first decorative panel 151 and the projection of the second decorative panel 152 at least partially overlap.

[0074] Both the first decorative panel 151 and the second decorative panel 152 are provided with first mounting portions 160, offering more options and flexibility for the installation of functional components. Furthermore, by providing first mounting portions 160 on both the first and second decorative panels 151 and 152, the space of the instrument panel 110 can be utilized more rationally, improving the space utilization efficiency of the instrument panel 110 and the overall interior space. In addition, the presence of first mounting portions 160 on both the first and second decorative panels 151 and 152 avoids the centralized installation of functional components, making the entire instrument panel 110 neater and more organized, and facilitating user placement and retrieval.

[0075] Specifically, along the vertical direction Z of the vehicle 100, at least part of the first decorative panel 151 and the second decorative panel 152 are spaced apart, which allows the decorative panel 150 to install more functional components, provides additional installation space for the vehicle interior, improves the space utilization of the vehicle interior, and makes it more convenient for users to store functional components.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the first mounting part 160 is configured as a mounting hole, which is used to connect with a functional component.

[0077] The first mounting part 160 is constructed as a mounting hole, which is used to connect with the functional component. Designing the first mounting part 160 as a mounting hole makes it easier to install the functional component in the first mounting part 160 and improves the installation efficiency of the functional component.

[0078] For example, mounting holes can be threaded holes, which allow functional components to be quickly secured to the dashboard with bolts, screws or other fasteners without complicated assembly steps or additional connectors.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first mounting part 160 includes a first mounting hole 161 and a second mounting hole 162. Along the vertical direction Z of the vehicle 100, the first mounting hole 161 passes through the first decorative panel 151, and the second mounting hole 162 passes through the second decorative panel 152.

[0080] The first mounting hole 161 is provided on the first decorative panel 151, and the second mounting hole 162 is provided on the second decorative panel 152. Along the vertical direction Z of the vehicle 100, the first mounting hole 161 and the second mounting hole 162 can be arranged opposite to each other.

[0081] The design of the first mounting hole 161 and the second mounting hole 162 allows functional components to be directly mounted onto the first decorative panel 151 and the second decorative panel 152 via the first mounting hole 161 and the second mounting hole 162, without the need for additional fixing devices or complex installation steps. This greatly improves installation efficiency and reduces installation costs. By providing multiple first mounting holes 161 and multiple second mounting holes 162, the position of the functional components on the first decorative panel 151 or the second decorative panel 152 can be easily adjusted to ensure accurate installation. This design also facilitates the replacement or upgrading of functional components when needed, improving the maintainability of the instrument panel 110.

[0082] In some embodiments, there may be multiple first mounting holes 161 and second mounting holes 162. Along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100, the first mounting holes 161 are spaced apart on the first decorative panel 151, and the second mounting holes 162 are spaced apart on the second decorative panel 152.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, along the vertical direction Z of the vehicle 100, the second decorative panel 152 is located below the first decorative panel 151. The second decorative panel 152 includes a second left decorative panel 200 and a second right decorative panel 210. Along the horizontal direction Y of the vehicle 100, the second left decorative panel 200 and the second right decorative panel 210 are spaced apart to form a first clearance notch 220 for avoiding the steering wheel assembly of the vehicle 100.

[0084] Along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100, the second left trim panel 200 and the second right trim panel 210 are spaced apart and opposite to each other to form a first clearance notch 220 that avoids the steering wheel assembly of the vehicle 100. The first clearance notch 220 is disposed between the second left trim panel 200 and the second right trim panel 210. For example, along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100, the length of the second left trim panel 200 may be less than the length of the second right trim panel 210, and the second left trim panel 200 may be located to the left of the second right trim panel 210, and the second right trim panel 210 may be located to the right of the second left trim panel 200, so that the first clearance notch 220 can avoid the steering wheel assembly of the left-hand drive vehicle 100.

[0085] In addition, the second left decorative panel 200 and the second right decorative panel 210 are spaced apart, which allows the steering wheel assembly to pass smoothly through the decorative panel 150, improves the utilization of interior space, and avoids the influence of the decorative panel 150 on the operation of the steering wheel assembly.

[0086] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment, the decorative panel 150 includes a third decorative panel 153 and a fourth decorative panel 154 disposed opposite to each other. The third decorative panel 153 is connected to the left end of the first decorative panel 151 and the left end of the second decorative panel 152, and the fourth decorative panel 154 is connected to the right end of the first decorative panel 151 and the right end of the second decorative panel 152.

[0087] The decorative panel 150 includes a third decorative panel 153 and a fourth decorative panel 154. The third decorative panel 153 is disposed on the left side of the fourth decorative panel 154 along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100. At least a portion of the third decorative panel 153 and the fourth decorative panel 154 are disposed opposite each other. The third decorative panel 153 connects the left end of the first decorative panel 151 and the left end of the second decorative panel 152, and the fourth decorative panel 154 connects the right end of the first decorative panel 151 and the right end of the second decorative panel 152. This forms a more stable overall structure, reduces the single-point stress on the first decorative panel 151 or the second decorative panel 152, enhances the stability and durability of the instrument panel 110 during vehicle 100 operation, and reduces the risk of deformation or damage caused by vibration or impact.

[0088] Specifically, the design of the third decorative panel 153 and the fourth decorative panel 154 can form a stable decorative panel 150, thereby enhancing the ability of the decorative panel 150 to install functional components, enabling the decorative panel 150 to store and install more functional components.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the instrument panel 110 further includes a left air outlet structure 230 and a right air outlet structure 240. The left air outlet structure 230 has a left air outlet channel, and the right air outlet structure 240 has a right air outlet channel. Along the left-right direction Y of the vehicle 100, the left air outlet structure 230 is located at the left end of the first decorative panel 151, and the right air outlet structure 240 is located at the right end of the first decorative panel 151.

[0090] Along the left-right direction of the vehicle 100, the left air outlet structure 230 can be located to the left of the first decorative panel 151, or below the first decorative panel 151, or between the first decorative panel 151 and the second decorative panel 152. The right air outlet structure 240 can be located to the right of the first decorative panel 151, or below the first decorative panel 151, or between the first decorative panel 151 and the second decorative panel 152.

[0091] The cool and warm air generated by the vehicle's air conditioning system can enter the vehicle through the left and right air vents. The design of the left air vent structure 230 and the right air vent structure 240 allows air to pass through the vents more efficiently and be evenly distributed throughout the vehicle. This helps improve the efficiency of the air conditioning system, reduce energy consumption, and ensure rapid and even temperature regulation within the vehicle. By controlling the opening and closing of the left and right air vents and adjusting the airflow, the temperature in different areas of the vehicle can be more precisely controlled. This provides a more comfortable riding environment for the driver and passengers and also helps reduce energy waste.

[0092] In some embodiments, the left air outlet structure 230 may be located in the mounting chamber 170 and attached to the third decorative panel 153, and the right air outlet structure 240 may be located in the mounting chamber 170 and attached to the fourth decorative panel 154, and the connection strength between the left air outlet structure 230 and the right air outlet structure 240 may be enhanced.

This fastener connection effectively and tightly binds the central decorative panel 155 to the other decorative panels 150, forming a stable overall structure. This connection method can withstand significant external forces and vibrations, preventing safety hazards caused by loosening or detachment of the decorative panels 150. Therefore, this design significantly improves the structural stability of the dashboard 110, ensuring the safety and reliability of the vehicle 100 during operation.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the fastener includes a first fastener 250, which passes through the main instrument panel body 140 to be fixedly connected to the main instrument panel frame 130.

[0112] The first fastener 250 passes through the main instrument panel body 140 to be fixedly connected to the main instrument panel frame 130. It can be understood that the first fastener 250 can fix the middle trim panel 155, the first trim panel 151 and the main instrument panel frame 130, so that the trim panel 150 can be more firmly fixed to the main instrument panel frame 130, and the stability of the overall structural connection between the trim panel 150 and the main instrument panel frame 130 is improved.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first fastener 250 can be constructed as a bolt. A bolted connection is a detachable connection method; when equipment needs repair, replacement, or adjustment, it can be easily separated by removing the bolts without damaging the connector itself. Furthermore, the bolt itself is made of high-strength materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, capable of withstanding significant tensile and shear forces. In addition, by selecting appropriate bolt diameter, length, and thread type, its load-bearing capacity and durability can be further enhanced, ensuring the long-term stability of the connection. Bolted connections offer high precision because the tightness and stability of the connection can be ensured by controlling the bolt tightening torque and preload. This precision helps reduce loosening and vibration, improving equipment operating efficiency and reliability. Bolted connections typically do not require complex installation tools or equipment; installation can be completed using only basic tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers. Simultaneously, the detachability of the bolts makes equipment maintenance and upkeep easier and more convenient.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first fastener 250 may be constructed as a screw, which is tightly engaged with the connected parts through a threaded structure, providing a stable connection. Its structure is relatively simple yet robust, capable of withstanding large tensile and shear forces, ensuring the strength and stability of the connection. This reliability makes the screw perform well in applications requiring the bearing of large loads or vibrations.

[0115] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the central decorative panel 155 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion 260, which passes through the main instrument panel body 140 to snap-fit ​​and fix with the main instrument panel frame 130.

[0116] For example, the center trim panel 155 can be fixedly connected to the main instrument panel frame 130 by an A-shaped buckle, making the connection between the center trim panel 155 and the main instrument panel frame 130 more secure. This connection method reduces the risk of connection detachment due to vibration, impact, etc., thereby improving the reliability of the connection. The A-shaped buckle connection can provide a stable connection effect.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, both the third decorative panel 153 and the fourth decorative panel 154 are provided with a second fastener 270, which passes through the main instrument panel body 140 to be fixed to the main instrument panel frame 130.

[0118] For example, the second fastener 270 can be constructed as a bolt or screw. By providing the second fastener 270 on the third trim panel 153 and the fourth trim panel 154, and connecting the left and fourth trim panels 154 to the main instrument panel frame 130, the connection between the trim panel 150 and the main instrument panel frame 130 becomes more secure, improving the overall strength and stability of the connection, reducing the likelihood of the trim panel 150 detaching from the main instrument panel frame 130, increasing the stability of the trim panel 150 installation, and enabling the trim panel 150 to accommodate more and heavier functional components.

[0119] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the third decorative panel 153 and the fourth decorative panel 154 are fixedly connected to the main instrument panel frame 130 respectively.
