Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive interior technology, and specifically relates to a screwless dashboard claw structure. Background Technology
[0002] A car's dashboard is a device used to display various parameters of the car and its engine during driving. This allows the driver to take appropriate action based on the relevant parameters, preventing accidents.
[0003] However, existing automotive dashboards typically use clips to connect to the vehicle body sheet metal. These clips are usually connected to the dashboard via welding or screws / nuts. Welding is difficult due to space constraints, while using screws / nuts increases the weight of the dashboard and adds to the installation process. Therefore, designing a screwless dashboard clip structure to solve these problems is essential. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a screwless instrument panel clip structure to solve the issues raised in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a screwless dashboard latch structure, applied to vehicle body sheet metal and dashboard, including a latch, a clamp, a body-fitting structure, a guide rail-fitting structure, and a guide rail. The clamp is disposed on the dashboard, and the guide rail is disposed on the clamp. One end of the latch is connected to the body-fitting structure, and the latch engages with the vehicle body sheet metal through the body-fitting structure. The other end of the latch is connected to the guide rail-fitting structure, and the guide rail-fitting structure is slidably connected to the guide rail.
[0006] Furthermore, the guide rails are provided on both the left and right sides of the opponent component, and the guide rail matching structures are connected to both the left and right sides of the other end of the claw. The two guide rail matching structures are slidably connected to the two guide rails in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0007] Furthermore, the screwless instrument panel claw structure also includes a weakening structure and a fastening structure. The weakening structure is provided on the rear side of the opponent, and the fastening structure is connected to the claw. The fastening mechanism is located at the upper end of the two guide rail matching structures, and the fastening structure is slidably connected to the opponent.
[0008] Furthermore, the screwless instrument panel claw structure also includes a track reinforcing rib, which is provided on the outer wall of the guide rail, and the track reinforcing rib extends in the direction of the guide rail.
[0009] Furthermore, the screwless instrument panel claw structure also includes ribs, which are provided inside the guide rail and are used to abut against the front end of the guide rail matching structure.
[0010] Furthermore, four opposing parts are evenly distributed on the dashboard along the width direction of the vehicle body, and four claws are evenly distributed on the sheet metal of the vehicle body along the width direction of the vehicle body. The four claws and the four opposing parts are engaged one-to-one.
[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] The chucks are connected to the vehicle body sheet metal through the body matching structure. The dashboard and the vehicle body sheet metal are connected to the hand parts through the chucks, without the need for welding. This avoids the problems of failing to meet vibration durability requirements and the space constraints of welding tools that occur when welding is used. It also eliminates the need for connecting structures such as screws and nuts, thus achieving the purpose of weight reduction and optimizing the assembly rhythm.
[0013] By setting a guide rail on the counterslip and a guide rail matching structure on the chuck, the chuck can be slidably connected to the guide rail through the guide rail matching structure and thus connected to the counterslip. This facilitates the quick connection of the chuck and the counterslip, thereby making it easier to quickly connect the dashboard and the vehicle body sheet metal.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a screwless dashboard latch structure of this utility model is applied to a vehicle body sheet metal 1 and a dashboard 2. It includes a latch 3, a clamp 4, a body-fitting structure 31, a guide rail matching structure 32, and a guide rail 41. The clamp 4 is disposed on the dashboard 2, and the guide rail 41 is disposed on the clamp 4. One end of the latch 3 is connected to the body-fitting structure 31, and the latch 3 is latched to the vehicle body sheet metal 1 through the body-fitting structure 31. The other end of the latch 3 is connected to the guide rail matching structure 32, and the guide rail matching structure 32 is slidably connected to the guide rail 41.
[0022] In this embodiment, a matching component 4 is provided on the instrument panel 2. The matching component 4 can be integrally formed with the instrument panel 2 or connected by adhesive bonding or other methods. Secondly, the claw 3 is connected to the vehicle body sheet metal 1 through a body matching structure. The instrument panel 2 and the vehicle body sheet metal 1 are engaged by the claw 3 and the matching component 4, eliminating the need for welding. This avoids the problems of failing to meet vibration durability requirements and the limited space for welding tools, and also eliminates the need for screws and nuts, achieving weight reduction and optimized assembly rhythm. Furthermore, a guide rail 41 is provided on the matching component 4, and a guide rail matching structure 32 is provided on the claw 3. The claw 3 can slide on the guide rail 41 through the guide rail matching structure 32 to connect with the matching component 4, facilitating quick connection of the claw 3 and the matching component 4, thereby simplifying the rapid connection of the instrument panel 2 and the vehicle body sheet metal 1.
[0023] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, guide rails 41 are provided on both the left and right sides of the opponent component 4, and guide rail matching structures 32 are connected to both the left and right sides of the other end of the claw 3. The two guide rail matching structures 32 are slidably connected to the two guide rails 41 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0024] In this embodiment, guide rails 41 are provided on both the left and right sides of the opponent 4, and guide rail matching structures 32 are connected to both the left and right sides of the end of the claw 3. By setting the two guide rail matching structures 32 in the two guide rails 41, the positions of the claw 3 and the opponent 4 in the left and right directions can be fixed to ensure that the claw 3 only moves relative to the opponent 4 along the extension direction of the guide rail 41, thereby ensuring that the guide rail matching structure 32 moves to the stop position of the guide rail 41 for engagement. On the other hand, by setting two guide rails 41 and two guide rail matching structures 32, and by using the two guide rail matching structures 32 to slide correspondingly on the two guide rails 41, the stability of the movement of the claw 3 relative to the opponent 4 is ensured, thereby further ensuring that the guide rail matching structure 32 moves to the stop position of the guide rail 41 for engagement.
[0025] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the screwless instrument panel claw structure also includes a weakening structure 42 and a fastening structure 33. The weakening structure 42 is provided on the rear side of the opponent 4, and the fastening structure 33 is connected to the claw 3. The fastening mechanism is located at the upper end of the two guide rail matching structures 32, and the fastening structure 33 is slidably connected to the opponent 4.
[0026] In this embodiment, by setting a weakening structure 42, specifically, the weakening structure 42 is an opening on the rear side of the opponent 4. A track is also opened above the middle of the two guide rails 41. During the process of the guide rail matching structure 32 slidingly connected to the guide rail 41 and reaching the stop position, the fastening structure 33 slides along the track. The rear side of the opponent 4 begins to deform due to the weakening structure 42, which makes it easier for the fastening structure 33 on the claw 3 to slide to the designated position. After it is in place, the deformation of the rear side of the opponent 4 ends and it returns to the normal position. The rear side of the opponent 4 is matched and connected with the fastening structure 33 to achieve fastening, which helps to ensure the stability of the connection between the claw 3 and the opponent 4.
[0027] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the screwless instrument panel claw structure also includes a track reinforcing rib 43, which is provided on the outer side wall of the guide rail 41, and the track reinforcing rib 43 extends toward the extension direction of the guide rail 41.
[0028] In this embodiment, by providing track reinforcing ribs 43 on the outer wall of the guide rail 41, the guide rail 41 can be reinforced, preventing deformation and ensuring the stability of the guide rail matching structure 32 sliding within the guide rail 41. Furthermore, by setting the track reinforcing ribs 43 to extend along the guide rail 41, the guide rail 41 can be reinforced as a whole, further ensuring the stability of the guide rail matching structure 32 sliding within the guide rail 41.
[0029] Optionally, the screwless instrument panel claw structure further includes ribs, which are provided in the guide rail 41 and are used to abut against the front end of the guide rail matching structure 32.
[0030] In this embodiment, by setting a rib in the guide rail 41, the guide rail matching structure 32 slides in the guide rail 41 until the front end of the guide rail matching structure 32 abuts against the rib. Then the guide rail matching structure 32 can no longer slide along the guide rail 41, thus ensuring that the claw 3 has been stably connected to the opponent 4.
[0031] Optionally, four opposing parts 4 are evenly distributed on the dashboard 2 along the width direction of the vehicle body, and four claws 3 are evenly distributed on the body sheet metal 1 along the width direction of the vehicle body, with the four claws 3 corresponding to and engaging with the four opposing parts 4 one by one.
[0032] In this embodiment, four claws 3 and four opposing parts 4 are provided. The four opposing parts 4 are evenly distributed along the width direction of the vehicle body, that is, they are evenly distributed along the length direction of the dashboard 2. Similarly, the four claws 3 are evenly distributed along the width direction of the vehicle body, that is, they are evenly distributed along the length direction of the vehicle body sheet metal 1. By connecting the four opposing parts 4 and the four claws 3 in a one-to-one correspondence, the stability of the connection between the dashboard 2 and the vehicle body sheet metal 1 can be guaranteed.
[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
