Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an instrument panel and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, users' attention is often focused on the instrument panel when driving or observing the cockpit from outside the vehicle. However, the overall effect of the instrument panel is poor whether viewed from inside or outside the vehicle, affecting the user's perception of the instrument cluster and its surrounding area. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one object of this application is to provide an instrument panel and vehicle in which the gap between the instrument cluster and surrounding components can be concealed, so as to improve the visual integrity of the instrument panel and the user's experience.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose an instrument panel comprising: a frame, a combination instrument cluster, a cover assembly, and a decorative cover. The frame has a first mounting hole. The combination instrument cluster comprises: a display element and a first mounting bracket. The first mounting bracket comprises: a first connector disposed on the back side of the display element and a second connector located at the bottom end of the display element. The first connector passes through the first mounting hole and is connected to the frame. The cover assembly has a second mounting bracket, which is connected to the frame and located at the bottom end of the frame. The second mounting bracket and the second connector are assembled along the X direction. The decorative cover is disposed on the front side of the display element and is connected to the second connector to cover the bottom seam of the display element.

[0005] According to the instrument panel of this application embodiment, a first connector provided on the back side of the display can mate with a first mounting hole on the frame, so that the first connector is hidden between the frame and the back side of the display. The top of the instrument cluster does not need a gap to avoid the first connector, allowing for a seamless fit between the top of the instrument cluster and surrounding components. Simultaneously, a second connector at the bottom of the display is connected to the frame via a second mounting bracket of a cover assembly, ensuring a stable connection between the instrument cluster and the frame. The cover assembly and decorative cover are then positioned in front of the connection area of ​​the second connector to shield it in the X direction of the vehicle. Thus, the bottom of the instrument cluster also does not need a gap to avoid the connection area, allowing for a seamless fit between the bottom of the instrument cluster and surrounding components. Therefore, whether viewed from inside or outside the vehicle, the instrument panel exhibits better overall integrity with its surrounding components, improving the overall visual effect and enhancing the user's experience.

[0006] According to a further embodiment of this application, the first connector includes a first arm and a limiting protrusion. One end of the first arm is connected to the display component, and the other end of the first arm extends away from the display component. The limiting protrusion is formed at the other end of the first arm, and the first arm is adapted to pass through a first mounting hole. The limiting protrusion is adapted to push against the frame.

[0007] In the above technical solution, by matching the position of the first connector with the first mounting hole, installation positioning can be quickly completed during installation, followed by subsequent installation actions, thereby improving the efficiency of manufacturing or assembling the instrument panel. Furthermore, the connection between the first connector and the frame is formed by the pushing action between the limiting protrusion and the frame, eliminating the need for bolts, clips, or other fixing methods. Compared to existing technologies that use bolts to fix the instrument cluster to the frame, requiring exposed bolts in the connection area for operation, this solution eliminates the need to expose the limiting protrusion; instead, it directly engages and fixes the component through the pushing action between the limiting protrusion and the frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the second connector includes: a first mounting portion extending away from the display element, and the first mounting portion having a first angle with the height direction of the display element, so that when the instrument cluster is in the first position, the first arm is adapted to pass through the mounting hole, and when the instrument cluster is in the second position, the first mounting portion is adapted to be assembled with the second mounting bracket along the second angle, the limiting protrusion is adapted to push against the frame, and the first position and the second position have a first angle.

[0009] In the above technical solution, when the display component is in the first position, there is a certain angle between the display component and the frame, exposing its bottom end. This provides the user with more operating space so that the user can switch it to the second position and complete the installation operation.

[0010] Furthermore, the second connector also includes a second mounting portion, which is located at the bottom front of the display element and connected to the decorative cover plate.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the decorative cover is tightly fitted to the bottom front of the display component via the second mounting part, effectively concealing the assembly gap without obstructing the display side of the component. This ensures the overall visual effect of the dashboard without affecting its usability.

[0012] Furthermore, the dashboard also includes: a trim piece, a first part of which is located between the frame and the instrument cluster, a second part of which extends to the front of the instrument cluster, and one end of the trim cover is connected to the second mounting portion and the other end is connected to the trim piece.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the first and second parts of the decorative part cover the front side of the bottom of the display side of the frame or display part, so that when the user observes the dashboard, the decorative part connected as an integral structure can be seen, resulting in a good overall visual effect of the dashboard and thus improving the user's visual experience.

[0014] Furthermore, a first connecting portion is provided at one end of the decorative cover plate, and the second mounting portion includes: a first plate and a second plate disposed opposite to each other, with a receiving groove defined between the first plate and the second plate. The first connecting portion is constructed as a U-shaped clip, and one open end of the U-shaped clip is connected to the decorative cover plate, the other open end of the U-shaped clip pushes against the first plate, and the closed end of the U-shaped clip pushes against the second plate.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the decorative cover extends into a first connecting portion constructed as a U-shaped clip. On one hand, the U-shaped clip abuts against the first plate and the second plate respectively, forming a limiting fit in the Z direction. On the other hand, the first connecting portion extends into a receiving groove defined between the first plate and the second plate, so that the connection between the decorative cover and the second mounting portion is hidden within the first connecting portion. This ensures that after the decorative cover and the second mounting portion are fitted together, no observable seam is formed at the connection point, thereby improving the overall visual effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the first connecting portion also has a stop rib, which is formed at the closed end and is adapted to push against the end face of the second plate.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the pushing action of the stop rib creates a pushing force in the X direction, thereby limiting the decorative cover plate against the display component and fixing the decorative cover plate. Furthermore, constructing a stop rib at the closed end of the U-shaped clip increases the structural strength of that area.

[0018] Furthermore, a second connecting part is provided at the other end of the decorative cover plate. The second connecting part is engaged with the decorative part, and a clearance groove is provided on the side of the decorative part adjacent to the decorative cover plate. The decorative cover plate is located in the clearance groove so that a negative clearance fit is formed between the decorative cover plate and the decorative part.

[0019] In the above technical solution, a smooth transition is formed between the decorative cover and the second part at the mating point, without any gaps or steps, thereby forming a smooth mating surface with the decorative parts, so that there are no gaps at the connection between the two, so as to maintain the overall visual effect of the dashboard.

[0020] According to a further embodiment of this application, the shield assembly further includes: a curtain and a cover mounting bracket, one end of the curtain is connected to the second mounting bracket, the other end of the curtain is connected to the cover mounting bracket, the curtain is located in front of the second mounting bracket and is adapted to cover the second mounting bracket, and the cover mounting bracket is connected to the cover.

[0021] In the above technical solution, by connecting the cover mounting bracket to the cover, the second mounting bracket is covered by the cover, making the connection area between the instrument cluster and the surrounding components invisible, and achieving seamless cooperation between the second mounting bracket and the cover, so as to maintain the visual integrity of the instrument panel.

[0022] Secondly, this application proposes a vehicle that includes the dashboard described in the above embodiments.

[0042] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0044] In the description of this application, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of the features.

[0045] In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more.

[0046] In the description of this application, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or the first and second features being in contact through another feature between them.

[0047] In the description of this application, the terms "above," "over," and "on top" for the first feature and the second feature include the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicate that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0048] In the prior art, the dashboard includes a combination instrument, and the periphery of the combination instrument is fixed to the surrounding components to realize the installation of the dashboard; therefore, in order to provide sufficient connection area between the combination instrument and its surrounding components, there is often a gap between them to avoid the connection area, and these gaps will affect the overall visual effect of the dashboard.

[0049] For example, the back of the instrument cluster is connected to the top edge of the frame 110, causing the instrument cluster to protrude from the top of the frame 110 and form a gap that can be seen by the user when viewing the instrument panel from outside the vehicle; or, the bottom edge of the instrument cluster is connected to its surrounding area, forming a gap in the connection area that can be seen by the user when viewing the instrument panel from inside the vehicle.

[0050] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 This application describes a dashboard 100 and a vehicle according to embodiments thereof.

[0051] refer to Figures 1-5 According to embodiments of this application, the dashboard 100 includes a frame 110, a combination instrument 120, a cover assembly 130, and a decorative cover 140.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame 110 has two first mounting holes 111. The instrument cluster 120 includes a display element 21 and a first mounting bracket 22. The first mounting bracket 22 includes a first connector 221 disposed on the back side of the display element 21 (i.e., one side of the display element 21 has a display surface, and the opposite side is the back side) and a second connector 222 located at the bottom end of the display element 21. Figure 5 As shown, after the instrument panel is assembled, the first connector 221 passes through the first mounting hole 111 to connect the instrument cluster 120 to the frame 110.

[0053] Specifically, the back side of the display component 21 is provided with a first connector 21, which is connected to the frame 110 through the first connector 221. In the X direction, the first connector 221 is hidden between the frame 110 and the back side of the display component 21, and in the Z direction, since the first connector 21 is located in the first mounting hole 111, the first connector 21 is also not visible at the top of the frame 110.

[0054] In this way, compared to the existing dashboard 100, the back of the instrument cluster 120 is connected to the top edge of the frame 110, and the first connector 221 can be hidden between the back of the display 21 and the frame 110, so that the top of the instrument cluster 120 will not have a gap relative to the surrounding area, so that the top edge of the instrument cluster 120 can fit seamlessly with the surrounding area.

[0055] refer to Figure 3 The shield assembly 130 has a second mounting bracket 131, which is connected to the frame 110.

[0056] Specifically, the second mounting bracket 131 is constructed as a bent plate, which includes an upper plate 1311 for connecting to the frame 110, and a lower plate 1312 forming an angle with the upper plate 1311. After assembly, the second mounting bracket 131 is located at the bottom end of the frame 110; the upper plate 1311 is connected near the bottom end of the frame 110, and the lower plate 1312 of the second mounting bracket 131 is located below the frame 110 and assembled with the second connector 222 along the X-direction of the vehicle. Figure 5 In the example shown, the second mounting bracket 131 is connected to the frame 110 and the second connector 222 by bolts.

[0057] Continue to refer to Figures 4-5 A decorative cover plate 140 is disposed on the front side of the display component 21. The decorative cover plate 140 is connected to the second connector 222 to cover the bottom seam of the display component 21. In other words, the decorative cover plate 140 can be connected to the second connector 222 on the front side of the display component 21 to seamlessly cooperate with the display to cover the bottom seam of the display component 21.

[0058] Thus, in the X direction of the vehicle, the second mounting bracket 131 located at the bottom of the frame 110 is covered by the cover assembly 130 and the decorative cover plate 140 located in front of it, so that the second mounting bracket 131 located at the rear is not visible.

[0059] In this way, compared to the existing dashboard 100 where the bottom of the instrument cluster 120 is connected to the surrounding components and forms a gap, the decorative cover 140 can seamlessly fit with the cover assembly 130 and the instrument cluster 120 respectively, and cover the second mounting bracket 131, thus avoiding a gap at the bottom of the instrument cluster 120. According to the dashboard of this embodiment, the upper area of ​​the instrument cluster 120 is connected to the frame 110 through the first mounting hole 111 via the first connector 221, thus avoiding a top gap between the instrument cluster 120 and the frame 110 and preventing exposed fasteners. Simultaneously, the lower part of the instrument cluster 120 is connected to the cover assembly 130 via the second connector 222, and the cover assembly 130 is further connected to the frame 110, thus avoiding exposed fasteners at the second connector 222. A decorative cover is provided in front of the second connector 222 to cover the bottom gap between the cover assembly 130 and the instrument cluster 120, thereby giving the dashboard a good overall visual effect and improving the user's visual experience while driving.

[0060] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 and combined Figure 7 As shown, the first connector 221 includes a first arm 2211 and a limiting protrusion 2212. One end of the first arm 2211 is connected to the display 21, and the other end of the first arm 2211 extends away from the display 21. The limiting protrusion 2212 is formed at the other end of the first arm 2211, and the first arm 2211 is adapted to pass through the first mounting hole 111. The limiting protrusion 2212 is adapted to push against the frame 110.

[0061] Specifically, after the first arm 2211 passes through the first mounting hole 111, the first arm 2211 engages with the wall of the first mounting hole 111, and the limiting protrusion 2212 at the end of the first arm 2211 hooks into the peripheral area of ​​the first mounting hole 111 through its own bending structure, thereby abutting against the frame 110. Therefore, when installing the display component 21, the user can adjust the first connector 221 to the area corresponding to the first mounting hole 111, and then make the limiting protrusion 2212 abut against the frame 110 to quickly complete the positioning between the display component 21 and the frame 110.

[0062] Thus, the connection between the first connector 221 and the frame 110 is formed by the pushing action between the limiting protrusion 2212 and the frame 110, without the need for bolts, clips, or other fixing methods. Compared to the prior art where the instrument cluster 120 is fixed to the frame 110 with bolts, which requires the bolts in the connection area to be exposed for operation, the connection between the first connector 221 and the frame 110 can be completed without exposing the limiting protrusion 2212 by pushing against the frame 110.

[0063] Understandably, by matching the position of the first connector 221 with the first mounting hole 111, installation positioning can be quickly completed during installation, followed by subsequent installation actions, thereby improving the efficiency of manufacturing or assembling the instrument panel 100. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to expose the limiting protrusion 2212 for connection with the frame 110, thus avoiding a gap between the back of the instrument cluster 120 and surrounding components.

[0064] Furthermore, the second connector 222 includes a first mounting portion 2221.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting portion 2221 extends away from the display element 21, and the first mounting portion 2221 and the display element 21 have a first angle in the height direction, so that when the instrument cluster 120 is in the first position, the first arm 2211 is adapted to pass through the mounting hole; when the instrument cluster 120 is in the second position, the first mounting portion 2221 is adapted to be assembled with the second mounting bracket 131 along the second angle, and the limiting protrusion 2212 is adapted to push against the frame 110. The first mounting portion 2221 and the second mounting bracket 131 are fixed together by bolts, and the first angle can be referenced... Figure 8 The understanding shown is that in Figure 8 In the corresponding example, the first included angle is angle α shown in the figure.

[0066] Specifically, in combination Figure 8 The dotted lines in the text indicate the switching of component 21 between the first and second positions.

[0067] When the display element 21 is in the first position, the first connecting member 221 with the limiting protrusion 2212 is connected to the frame 110. At this time, the display element 21 can rotate around the abutting point between the limiting protrusion 2212 and the frame 110 to switch positions. In the first position, there is an angle between the height direction of the display element 21 and the height direction of the frame 110. At this time, the positioning between the first connecting member 221 and the first through hole can position the display element 21 onto the frame 110. Then, by adjusting the angle between the display element 21 and the frame 110, the back side of the display element 21 is made to fit against the frame 110 to switch to the second position.

[0068] Subsequently, taking the case where the included angle between the first position and the second position is taken as the first included angle, the display component 21 rotates around the area where the limiting protrusion 2212 and the frame 110 abut, that is, along... Figure 8 The arrow shown rotates in the direction of rotation and switches to the second position.

[0069] In the second position, the first mounting part 2221 is in a state suitable for assembly with the second mounting bracket 131.

[0070] Specifically, the back of the display component 21 is fitted to the frame 110, and the second mounting bracket 131 is provided with a connecting seat 1313 for connecting to the first mounting part 2221. The connecting seat 1313 and the frame 110 have a first included angle with one side wall of the display component 21. After switching to the second position, the first mounting part 2221 and the connecting seat 1313 are aligned and assembled together along the X direction of the vehicle by fasteners such as bolts.

[0071] In other words, the user pushes the limiting protrusion 2212 against the frame 110 to hold the display 21 in the first position for initial positioning, and then switches the display 21 to the second position by rotating it, and connects the first mounting part 2221 and the second bracket in the second position to fix it.

[0072] It is understandable that when the display component 21 is in the first position, there is a certain angle between the display component 21 and the frame 110, exposing its bottom end. This provides the user with more operating space so that the user can switch it to the second position and complete the installation operation.

[0073] Next, refer to Figures 6-8 The second mounting section 2222 and its connection area will be described.

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, the second connector 222 includes a second mounting portion 2222, which is located at the bottom front of the display 21 and connected to the decorative cover 140. The second mounting portion 2222 is configured as a receiving groove at the bottom front of the display 21 to mate with the first connector 141, thereby connecting the bottom of the dashboard to the decorative cover 140. Located at the bottom front of the display 21, it prevents the decorative cover 140 from obstructing the view of the display 21, ensuring a seamless bottom for the dashboard and preventing the mounting structure from obstructing the display 21.

[0075] Understandably, the decorative cover 140 fits snugly against the front bottom of the display element 21 via the second mounting portion 2222, effectively concealing the assembly gap without obstructing the display side of the display element 21. This ensures the overall visual effect of the instrument panel 100 without affecting its usability.

[0076] Specifically, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 8The decorative cover plate 140 has a first connecting portion 141 at one end, and a second mounting portion 2222 includes a first plate 22221 and a second plate 22222 disposed opposite to each other. A receiving groove is defined between the first plate 22221 and the second plate 22222. The first connecting portion 141 is constructed as a U-shaped clip, with one open end of the U-shaped clip connected to the decorative cover plate 140, the other open end of the U-shaped clip abutting against the first plate 22221, and the closed end of the U-shaped clip abutting against the second plate 22222. This configuration is suitable for pushing and limiting the first plate 22221 and the second plate 22222 in the Z direction, respectively, forming a limiting and fixing function, thereby preventing the first connecting portion 141 from displacing in the Z direction relative to the second mounting portion 2222.

[0077] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting portion 141 also has a stop rib 1411, which is formed at the closed end and is adapted to push against the end face of the second plate 22222. Through the pushing action of the stop rib 1411, a push is formed in the X direction, causing the decorative cover plate 140 to be limited in the X direction under the pushing action of the decorative member 150 and the stop rib 1411, thereby fixing the decorative cover plate 140; furthermore, constructing the stop rib 1411 at the closed end of the U-shaped clip can also increase the structural strength of that area.

[0078] Understandably, the decorative cover plate 140 extends into a first connecting portion 141 constructed as a U-shaped clip. On one hand, the U-shaped clip abuts against the first plate 22221 and the second plate 22222 respectively, forming a limiting fit in the Z direction. On the other hand, the first connecting portion 141 extends into a receiving groove defined between the first plate 22221 and the second plate 22222, thus concealing the connection between the decorative cover plate 140 and the second mounting portion 2222 within the first connecting portion 141. This ensures that after the decorative cover plate 140 and the second mounting portion 2222 are engaged, no gap will appear on the observable outer surface due to the connection structure, thereby improving the overall visual effect.

[0079] In addition, the dashboard also includes trim piece 150, combined with Figure 2It is understood that the first portion 151 of the decorative element 150 is located between the frame 110 and the instrument cluster 120, and the second portion 152 of the decorative element 150 extends to the front of the instrument cluster 120. One end of the decorative cover 140 is connected to the second mounting portion 2222, and the other end is connected to the second portion 152, so that the decorative cover 140 cooperates with the surrounding decorative elements 150 and the instrument cluster 120 to form a shield. The first portion 151 of the decorative element 150 is located between the frame 110 and the instrument cluster 120 to cover the frame 110, and the second portion extends to the front of the instrument cluster 120 to form a seamless connection with the decorative cover 140 on the lower front side of the instrument cluster 120, i.e., the side facing the user, thereby improving the overall visual effect.

[0080] Understandably, the first part 151 and the second part 152 of the decorative piece cover the front side of the bottom of the display side of the frame or display piece 21 so that when the user observes the dashboard, the decorative piece 150, which is connected as an integral structure, can be seen, so that the overall visual effect of the dashboard 100 is good, thereby improving the user's visual experience.

[0081] Continue to combine Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the decorative element 150 extends further towards the instrument cluster 120. In this example, the second portion of the decorative element 150 extending to the front side of the instrument cluster 120 is substantially flush with the bottom end of the instrument cluster 120. A second connecting portion 142 is provided at the other end of the decorative cover plate 140, and the second connecting portion 142 engages with the second portion 152. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 8 As shown, the second part 152 has a clearance groove on the side adjacent to the decorative cover plate 140, and the decorative cover plate 140 is located in the clearance groove, so that a negative clearance fit is formed between the decorative cover plate 140 and the decorative part 150, so that the decorative cover plate 140 and the second part 152 are as follows: Figure 5 The result is a smooth transition at the joint, without creating seams or steps.

[0082] Specifically, in combination Figure 8 It is understood that the upper surface of the decorative cover 140 is lower than the upper surface of the second part 152, thus forming a negative clearance fit. Of course, in other cases, the upper surface of the decorative cover 140 may be constructed to be slightly higher than the upper surface of the second part 152, thus forming a positive clearance fit.

[0083] Understandably, the edges of the decorative cover 140 fit seamlessly with the lower end of the display 21 and the second part 152 of the decorative piece 150, respectively, and form a smooth mating surface with the decorative piece 150, so that there is no gap at the connection between the two, so as to maintain the overall visual effect of the dashboard.

[0084] Next, refer to Figures 9-10 It is understood that the shield assembly 130 also includes a curtain 132 and a cover mounting bracket 133. One end of the curtain 132 is connected to the second mounting bracket 131, and the other end of the curtain 132 is detachably connected to the cover mounting bracket 133. The curtain 132 is located in front of the second mounting bracket 131 and is suitable for covering the second mounting bracket 131. The cover mounting bracket 133 is connected to the cover.

[0085] Specifically, the curtain 132 is connected below the second mounting bracket 131 and then connected to the vehicle's cover via the cover mounting bracket 133, thereby covering the second mounting bracket 131 located behind the curtain 132, making the connection area between the instrument cluster 120 and the surrounding components invisible, and seamlessly cooperating with the second mounting bracket 131 and the cover to maintain the visual integrity of the instrument panel 100.

[0086] In addition, the curtain 132 is constructed as a flexible or bendable structure, which is suitable for flipping the curtain 132 away from the protective cover after the protective cover mounting bracket 133 is locked in contact with the protective cover, exposing the second mounting bracket 131, so that the user can connect the second mounting bracket 131 to the connecting seat 1313.

[0087] For example Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the curtain 132 along Figure 9 As shown by the arrow, rotate around its connection with the second mounting bracket 131, and then flip it to... Figure 10 The position indicated by the dashed line. And then, when flipped to... Figure 10 The location indicated by the dotted line is suitable for the user to insert their hand or tools into the position where the second mounting bracket 131 and the connecting seat 1313 are located for installation.

[0088] The vehicle according to an embodiment of this application includes the dashboard 100 in the above embodiments.
