[0031] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 The instrument panel assembly 100 according to the present invention has a simple structure, occupies little space, can ensure defrosting effect to ensure driving safety, and can also ensure the overall coordination of the instrument panel assembly 100, thereby improving the user experience.

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an instrument panel assembly 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: an instrument panel cover assembly 1 and an instrument panel frame assembly 2.

[0033] The instrument panel cover assembly 1 is provided with a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112. The first air outlet 111 is open towards the first area of ​​the windshield, and the second air outlet 112 is open towards the second area of ​​the windshield. The instrument panel frame assembly 2 is installed below the instrument panel cover assembly 1. An air outlet channel is formed in the instrument panel frame assembly 2. The air outlet channel is used to deliver air to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively. The opening size of the first air outlet 111 is larger than the opening size of the second air outlet 112.

[0034] The instrument panel assembly 100 includes the instrument panel body, glove box, decorative panel, and combination instrument cover. The instrument panel body is located on the instrument panel system at the front of the vehicle's cockpit and is an important part of the instrument panel system. It not only provides the mounting structure for the various components on the instrument panel, but also has functions such as decoration, sound insulation and vibration reduction, ensuring driving comfort and user experience.

[0035] Specifically, the instrument panel assembly 100 is provided with an instrument panel cover assembly 1, which is located above the instrument panel assembly 100. The instrument panel cover assembly 1 may be provided with a storage compartment or other structure on its top, making it convenient for users to place items on top of the instrument panel assembly 100 and improving the user experience. The instrument panel cover assembly 1 is provided with a first air vent 111 and a second air vent 112, which are spaced apart along the lateral direction of the vehicle. The first air vent 111 is positioned directly opposite the driver's seat in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is open towards the first area of ​​the windshield, meaning that the airflow to the first air vent 111 can flow towards the first area of ​​the windshield through the first air vent 111. The second air vent 112 is positioned directly opposite the passenger seat in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is open towards the second area of ​​the windshield, meaning that the airflow to the second air vent 112 can flow towards the second area of ​​the windshield through the second air vent 112.

[0036] Furthermore, the instrument panel assembly 100 is also provided with an instrument panel frame assembly 2, which is installed below the instrument panel cover assembly 1. The instrument panel frame assembly 2 can be connected to the instrument panel cover assembly 1 by means of connectors or welding, thereby improving the installation flexibility. An air outlet channel is formed inside the instrument panel frame assembly 2, which can be connected to the air conditioning duct of the vehicle's air conditioning system, so that the vehicle's air conditioning system can deliver cooled or heated air to the air outlet channel. The air outlet channel is also connected to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively, thereby allowing the air outlet channel to deliver air to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively.

[0037] Thus, when the vehicle is running, the air conditioning system can deliver airflow through the air conditioning pipes to the air outlet duct, and then deliver airflow to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively through the air outlet duct. This allows the first air outlet 111 to deliver airflow towards the first area of ​​the windshield, and the second air outlet 112 to deliver airflow towards the second area of ​​the windshield. When the outside temperature is low, the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 can defog or defrost the first and second areas of the windshield, avoiding obstruction of the driver's vision, improving driving safety, and ensuring the riding experience of the passenger in the front seat.

[0038] In addition, the opening size of the first air outlet 111 is set to be larger than that of the second air outlet 112. This allows the opening size of the first air outlet 111 to be larger, thereby increasing the air volume delivered to the first area of ​​the windshield through the first air outlet 111. This improves the defrosting and defogging effect of the first air outlet 111 on the first area of ​​the windshield, ensuring reliability and improving driving safety. Meanwhile, the opening size of the second air outlet 112 is set to be smaller, so that the second air outlet 112 can deliver airflow to the second area of ​​the windshield while maintaining the overall coordination of the instrument panel assembly 100, improving aesthetics, and thus enhancing user comfort.

[0039] The dimensions of the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle can be set to be the same, and the dimension of the first air outlet 111 along the left-right direction of the vehicle can be set to be greater than the dimension of the second air outlet 112 along the left-right direction of the vehicle. This allows the total air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 111 to be greater than the total air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet 112, so as to ensure the air volume of the first air outlet 111 and the aesthetics of the second air outlet 112.

[0040] Furthermore, the first and second windshield areas can be distributed sequentially along the left and right sides of the vehicle. The first windshield area can be arranged along the front and rear directions of the vehicle with the driver's side area, and the second windshield area can be arranged along the front and rear directions of the vehicle with the passenger side area. The first windshield area can be larger than the second windshield area, thereby increasing the driver's field of vision and improving driving safety.

[0041] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the instrument panel assembly 100 has a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112 on the instrument panel cover assembly 1. The opening size of the first air outlet 111 is set to be larger than the opening size of the second air outlet 112, thereby ensuring the airflow volume delivered to the first air outlet 111 by the air outlet channel to ensure the defrosting effect and improve driving safety. The opening size of the second air outlet 112 is set to be smaller, which can ensure the overall coordination of the instrument panel assembly 100 and improve the user experience. In addition, the instrument panel assembly 100 is only composed of the instrument panel cover assembly 1 and the instrument panel frame assembly 2, which has a simple structure, can reduce the space occupied, improve weight reduction, better performance, and wider applicability.

[0042] In some embodiments, the air outlet duct includes a main air outlet duct 23 and an auxiliary air outlet duct 24. The main air outlet duct 23 is connected to the first air outlet 111, and the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is connected to the second air outlet 112.

[0043] Specifically, the instrument panel frame assembly 2 is provided with an air outlet duct, which can be used to supply air to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 respectively, and as... Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet duct is provided with a main air outlet duct 23 and an auxiliary air outlet duct 24. The main air outlet duct 23 is configured to connect with the first air outlet 111, and the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is configured to connect with the second air outlet 112. That is, the main air outlet duct 23 can deliver airflow to the first air outlet 111, and the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 can deliver airflow to the second air outlet 112. This ensures the airflow delivered to the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112, thereby ensuring the defrosting and defogging effect on the first area and the second area of ​​the windshield and improving the reliability of use.

[0044] Furthermore, the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112 can be distributed alternately along the left and right directions of the vehicle, that is, the first air outlet 111 is located on the left side of the vehicle and the second air outlet 112 is located on the right side of the vehicle, so that the first air outlet 111 is closer to the first area of ​​the windshield and the second air outlet 112 is closer to the second area of ​​the windshield, in order to reduce the wind loss after the airflow exits the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 112, thereby ensuring the defrosting and defogging effect. The main air outlet duct 23 and the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 can also be distributed alternately along the left and right directions of the vehicle, that is, the main air outlet duct 23 is located on the left side of the vehicle and the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is located on the right side of the vehicle, so that the main air outlet duct 23 is closer to the first air outlet 111 and the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is closer to the second air outlet 112, which facilitates air delivery and can improve the structural compactness and reduce the space occupied, thereby improving the vehicle's lightweight design.

[0045] In some embodiments, the instrument panel frame assembly 2 is further provided with a first side air outlet 26 and / or a second side air outlet 27. The first side air outlet 26 and the second side air outlet 27 are respectively open on both sides of the instrument panel frame assembly 2. The main air outlet duct 23 is connected to the first side air outlet 26, and the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is connected to the second side air outlet 27.

[0046] Specifically, the instrument panel frame assembly 2 is further provided with a first side air outlet 26 and / or a second side air outlet 27. It is possible to provide only the first side air outlet 26 on the instrument panel frame assembly 2, or only the second side air outlet 27 on the instrument panel frame assembly 2, or both the first side air outlet 26 and the second side air outlet 27 on the instrument panel frame assembly 2. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the instrument panel frame assembly 2 is provided with a first side air outlet 26 and a second side air outlet 27. The first side air outlet 26 and the second side air outlet 27 are open on both sides of the instrument panel frame assembly 2, that is, the first side air outlet 26 and the second side air outlet 27 can deliver air to the windows on both sides of the vehicle, thereby defrosting and defogging the windows on both sides of the vehicle, so as to facilitate the driver's observation of the rearview mirror and improve driving safety.

[0047] Furthermore, the first side air outlet 26 can be located on the left side of the instrument panel frame assembly 2, and the second side air outlet 27 can be located on the right side of the instrument panel frame assembly 2. That is, the first side air outlet 26 can exhaust air towards the left side window of the vehicle, and the second side air outlet 27 can exhaust air towards the right side window of the vehicle. The main air outlet duct 23 is located on the left side of the vehicle and is connected to the first side air outlet 26, so that the airflow flowing to the main air outlet duct 23 can be blown out towards the left side window of the vehicle through the first side air outlet 26. The auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is located on the right side of the vehicle and is connected to the second side air outlet 27, so that the airflow flowing to the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 can be blown out towards the right side window of the vehicle through the second side air outlet 27. This facilitates air supply, ensures defrosting and defogging effects, and improves reliability.

[0048] In some embodiments, the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is provided with a guide plate 25, which divides the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 into a first sub-duct 241 and a second sub-duct 242. The first sub-duct 241 is connected to the second air outlet 112, and the second sub-duct 242 is connected to the second side air outlet 27.

[0049] Specifically, the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 is connected to the second air outlet 112 and the second side air outlet 27 respectively, so as to supply air to the second air outlet 112 and the second side air outlet 27 respectively, and as Figure 1 As shown, a guide plate 25 is provided in the auxiliary air outlet duct 24. The guide plate 25 can be connected to the instrument panel frame assembly 2 by means of integral injection molding or other methods. The guide plate 25 can extend along the distribution direction of the air inlet and the second air outlet 112 of the auxiliary air outlet duct 24. The guide plate 25 is set as a plate structure, and the guide plate 25 can divide the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 into a first sub-duct 241 and a second sub-duct 242, so that the airflow flowing into the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 can flow into the first sub-duct 241 and the second sub-duct 242 respectively.

[0050] Furthermore, the first sub-flow channel 241 can be connected to the second air outlet 112, and the second sub-flow channel 242 can be connected to the second side air outlet 27. That is, when the air conditioning duct supplies air to the auxiliary air outlet channel 24, the airflow can flow towards the first sub-flow channel 241 and the second sub-flow channel 242 respectively, so as to be delivered to the second air outlet 112 through the first sub-flow channel 241 and to the second side air outlet 27 through the second sub-flow channel 242. The structure is simple and can ensure simultaneous air supply. In actual use, the air volume flowing to the first sub-flow channel 241 and the second sub-flow channel 242 can be adjusted by controlling the setting position of the guide plate 25 to meet different usage needs.

[0051] In some embodiments, the deflector plate 25 is movably installed in the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 to regulate the airflow to the first sub-duct 241 and the second sub-duct 242.

[0052] Specifically, the guide plate 25 is disposed in the auxiliary air outlet channel 24, thereby dividing the auxiliary air outlet channel 24 into a first sub-channel 241 and a second sub-channel 242. The guide plate 25 is movable relative to the auxiliary air outlet channel 24, that is, the position of the guide plate 25 in the auxiliary air outlet channel 24 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the proportion of the first sub-channel 241 and the second sub-channel 242 in the auxiliary air outlet channel 24.

[0053] Furthermore, the airflow flowing into the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 can flow into the first sub-duct 241 and the second sub-duct 242 respectively. By adjusting the position of the guide plate 25 in the auxiliary air outlet duct 24, the airflow flowing into the first sub-duct 241 and the second sub-duct 242 can be adjusted. This allows for adjustment of the airflow delivered to the second air outlet 112 through the first sub-duct 241 and the airflow delivered to the second side air outlet 27 through the second sub-duct 242, thus meeting different usage requirements and improving the flexibility of the setup.

[0054] The device may include a drive unit that is powered to the guide plate 25 to drive the guide plate 25 to move relative to the auxiliary air outlet duct 24. An adjustment part may also be provided on the guide plate 25 so that the user can manually adjust the position of the guide plate 25 in the auxiliary air outlet duct 24. The structure is simple and the installation cost is low.

[0055] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the deflector plate 25 is directly below the edge of the second air outlet 112 and is adapted to guide airflow to the second air outlet 112.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a guide plate 25 is provided in the auxiliary air outlet duct 24. The guide plate 25 extends along the distribution direction of the air inlet and the second air outlet 112 of the auxiliary air outlet duct 24, and at least a portion of the guide plate 25 is directly below the edge of the second air outlet 112, so that the guide plate 25 can guide the air to the second air outlet 112. That is, the airflow flowing into the auxiliary air outlet duct 24 can be partially flowed to the second air outlet 112 through the guide plate 25, so as to deliver the airflow to the second area of ​​the windshield through the second air outlet 112, ensuring the air volume delivered to the second air outlet 112, thereby ensuring the defrosting and defogging effect on the second area of ​​the windshield and improving the reliability of use.

[0057] In some embodiments, the dashboard cover assembly 1 includes a dashboard cover body 11, a main air vent grille 12 and an auxiliary air vent grille 13. A first air vent 111 and a second air vent 112 are formed on the dashboard cover body 11. The main air vent grille 12 is installed on the dashboard cover body 11 and is located below the first air vent 111. The auxiliary air vent grille 13 is installed on the dashboard cover body 11 and is located below the second air vent 112.

[0058] Specifically, the dashboard cover assembly 1 is provided with a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 112 to defrost and defog the first area and the second area of ​​the windshield, respectively, and as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown, the instrument panel cover assembly 1 is provided with an instrument panel cover body 11, a main air vent grille 12 and an auxiliary air vent grille 13. The instrument panel cover body 11, the main air vent grille 12 and the auxiliary air vent grille 13 can all be injection molded. The instrument panel cover body 11 is located at the top of the instrument panel cover assembly 1, and the first air vent 111 and the second air vent 112 are formed on the instrument panel cover body 11. This allows the airflow to flow directly out through the first air vent 111 and the second air vent 112 when it reaches the first air vent 111 and the second air vent 112, reducing the wind loss generated during airflow and thus reducing energy consumption.

[0059] Furthermore, the main air outlet grille 12 can be connected to the instrument panel cover body 11 by welding or connecting parts, and the main air outlet grille 12 is located below the first air outlet 111, so that the airflow needs to flow to the main air outlet grille 12 before flowing to the first air outlet 111. The main air outlet grille 12 is provided with grille blades, which can be movably installed on the main air outlet grille 12, so that the main air outlet grille 12 can adjust the airflow direction, so that the user can adjust the airflow direction as needed, improve the flexibility of use, and ensure the user experience.

[0060] In addition, the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 can be connected to the instrument panel cover body 11 by welding or connecting parts, and the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 is located below the second air outlet 112, so that the airflow needs to flow to the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 before flowing to the second air outlet 112. The auxiliary air outlet grille 13 is also provided with grille blades, which can be movably installed on the auxiliary air outlet grille 13, so that the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 can adjust the airflow direction, so that the user can adjust the airflow direction as needed, improve the flexibility of use, and ensure the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, a plurality of mounting portions 14 are formed at the edges of the main air vent grille 12 and / or the auxiliary air vent grille 13, and the plurality of mounting portions 14 are used to connect to the instrument panel cover body 11.

[0062] Specifically, multiple mounting portions 14 are formed at the edges of the main air outlet grille 12 and / or the auxiliary air outlet grille 13. This can be achieved by forming multiple mounting portions 14 only at the edges of the main air outlet grille 12, only at the edges of the auxiliary air outlet grille 13, or by forming multiple mounting portions 14 at the edges of both the main air outlet grille 12 and the auxiliary air outlet grille 13. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 1As shown, multiple mounting portions 14 are formed at the edges of both the main air outlet grille 12 and the auxiliary air outlet grille 13. The mounting portions 14 can be set to two, three, or four, etc. The multiple mounting portions 14 can be distributed at intervals at the edges of the main air outlet grille 12 and the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 to improve installation reliability.

[0063] Furthermore, the mounting part 14 can be configured as a welding rod or a connecting hole, etc. In this embodiment, the edge of the main air outlet grille 12 is provided with a welding rod and a connecting hole. The main air outlet grille 12 can be connected to the instrument panel cover body 11 by welding through the welding rod, and the connector 4 can be sequentially inserted through the connecting hole and the instrument panel cover body 11 so that the main air outlet grille 12 is installed on the instrument panel cover body 11, ensuring installation reliability. The edges of the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 are all provided with welding rods. The auxiliary air outlet grille 13 can be connected to the instrument panel cover body 11 by welding through the welding rod. The connection method is simple and improves the convenience of installation.

[0064] In some embodiments, the auxiliary air vent grille 13 is formed with a guide portion 131, which is formed on the side of the auxiliary air vent grille 13 away from the instrument panel cover body 11 and extends toward the auxiliary air vent 24.

[0065] Specifically, the auxiliary air vent grille 13 is connected to the instrument panel cover body 11 by welding or other means, and the auxiliary air vent grille 13 is provided with a guide portion 131. The guide portion 131 can be integrally formed with the auxiliary air vent grille 13 by injection molding or other means. The guide portion 131 is formed on the side edge of the auxiliary air vent grille 13 away from the instrument panel cover body 11, and as... Figure 2 As shown, the airflow guide 131 is constructed as a plate-shaped structure. The airflow guide 131 can extend toward the air outlet channel, that is, the airflow guide 131 can extend into the first sub-channel 241, and the end of the airflow guide 131 away from the instrument panel cover body 11 can contact the inner wall of the airflow guide plate 25, so that the airflow flowing into the first sub-channel 241 can flow along the airflow guide 131 toward the grille blades of the auxiliary air outlet grille 13.

[0066] Furthermore, when the air conditioning duct delivers airflow to the auxiliary air outlet duct 24, the airflow can be partially guided by the guide plate 25 to flow into the first sub-duct 241. The airflow in the first sub-duct 241 can flow along the guide plate 25 and the guide section 131 to the grille blades of the auxiliary air outlet grille 13. The grille blades of the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 can change the direction of the airflow, so that the changed airflow can be delivered to the second area of ​​the windshield through the second air outlet 112 to perform defogging, defrosting, etc. on the second area of ​​the windshield, ensuring the airflow volume and avoiding airflow leakage, thereby ensuring the reliability of use.

[0067] And such as Figure 2As shown, a seal 3 is also provided between the instrument panel cover assembly 1 and the instrument panel frame assembly 2. The seal 3 can be set as a rubber sealing ring, etc. The seal 3 can be set around the main air outlet grille 12 and the auxiliary air outlet grille 13, so that after the instrument panel frame assembly 2 is installed on the instrument panel cover assembly 1, the seal 3 can seal the main air outlet grille 12 and the main air outlet channel 23 and the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 and the first sub-channel 241, so as to avoid air leakage and ensure the reliability of airflow delivery.

[0068] In some embodiments, the airflow guide 131 is movable relative to the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 to adjust the airflow introduced toward the auxiliary air outlet duct 13.

[0069] Specifically, the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 has a guide section 131, which is movably connected to the side edge of the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 away from the instrument panel cover body 11. The airflow flowing into the first sub-channel 241 can flow along the guide section 131 to the grille blades of the auxiliary air outlet grille 13. This allows the airflow direction to be changed when the guide section 131 moves relative to the auxiliary air outlet grille 13, thereby adjusting the flow direction of the airflow introduced toward the auxiliary air outlet channel 13. Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the guide section 131 relative to the auxiliary air outlet grille 13, the opening size of the first sub-channel 241 facing the auxiliary air outlet grille 13 can be changed to adjust the airflow volume introduced toward the auxiliary air outlet channel 13. This flexible use meets different usage needs and improves user comfort.

[0070] The device may include a drive unit that is poweredly connected to the air guide 131 to drive the air guide 131 to move relative to the auxiliary air outlet grille 13. An adjustment unit may also be provided on the air guide 131 so that the user can manually adjust the position of the air guide 131 relative to the auxiliary air outlet grille 13. The structure is simple and the installation cost is low.

[0071] In some embodiments, the instrument panel frame assembly 2 includes an instrument panel frame body 21 and an air outlet duct plate 22, wherein the air outlet duct plate 22 is installed below the instrument panel frame body 21 and together with the instrument panel frame body 21 defines an air outlet duct.

[0072] Specifically, the instrument panel frame assembly 2 is installed below the instrument panel cover assembly 1, and as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the instrument panel frame assembly 2 is provided with an instrument panel frame body 21 and an air outlet duct plate 22. The air outlet duct plate 22 is located below the instrument panel frame body 21. Welding ribs or the like can also be provided on the edge of the air outlet duct plate 22 so that the air outlet duct plate 22 can be connected to the instrument panel frame body 21 by welding or other means. The installation method is simple. After the air outlet duct plate 22 and the instrument panel frame body 21 are connected, they can jointly define the air outlet duct. The instrument panel frame assembly 2 can be connected to the instrument panel cover assembly 1 through the connector 4.

[0073] Furthermore, the instrument panel frame body 21 is provided with an air outlet, which can be configured as two. The air outlet on the left can be configured to correspond with the first air outlet 111, so that the air outlet channel can deliver airflow to the first air outlet 111 through the left air outlet. The air outlet on the right can be configured to correspond with the second air outlet 112, so that the air outlet channel can deliver airflow to the second air outlet 112 through the right air outlet, ensuring the reliability of airflow delivery.
