[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an integrated wiring harness instrument panel beam assembly structure, including an arc-shaped plate 1. Extension plates 11 are slidably connected to the inner walls of multiple arc-shaped plates 1 on opposite sides. The multiple arc-shaped plates 1 are used to limit the wiring harness. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the extension plates 11. A rotating plate 5 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4. A rotating shaft 3 10 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the rotating plate 5. The rotating shaft 4 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the adjacent side of the rotating plate 5. A positioning sleeve 9 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 10. A limit sleeve 6 is provided on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 9. The rotating shaft 3 10 is used for the rotation of the rotating plate 5. The fulcrum is provided by the rotation on the side away from the limit sleeve 6. Multiple rotating shafts 8 are rotatably connected to the adjacent side of the limit sleeve 6. A rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8. A collar 3 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating plate 7. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the collar 3. The rotating shaft 8 is used to provide a fulcrum for the rotation of the rotating plate 7. A screw 14 is slidably connected to the front side of the inner wall of the collar 3. A nut 13 is provided on the outer wall of the screw 14. The screw 14 is used to limit the rotation of the collar 3. Multiple adjustment structures 2 are provided on the front side of the arc plate 1. The adjustment structures 2 are used to adapt to the installation of instrument panels of different vehicles. The nut 13 is used to limit the position of the screw 14.

[0033] Specifically, when an external force is applied to the rotating plate 5, it can rotate flexibly around the rotating shaft 4, playing a role in adjusting the angle and adapting to different installation scenarios. The limiting sleeve 6 restricts the range of motion of related components, preventing excessive movement that could affect the stability and functionality of the entire assembly structure. The positioning sleeve 9 plays a role in positioning and stabilizing the entire structure. By rotating the nut 13, the position of the screw 14 within the collar 3 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the adjustment and fixation of related components. The adjustment structure 2 is used to adapt to the installation of dashboards on different vehicles.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 6 The adjusting structure 2 includes a limiting hole 201, which is located on the front side of the arc plate 1. A guide groove 203 is provided in the middle of the front side of the arc plate 1. A limiting block 202 is fixedly connected to the front side of the arc plate 1 near the edge. The limiting block 202 is used to limit the corresponding structure. A sliding plate 206 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 203. Multiple mounting clamps 205 are fixedly connected to the connected side of the sliding plate 206. The guide groove 203 is used to guide the sliding plate 206 to slide within it. Multiple screws 204 are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate 206. Nuts 207 are provided on the outer wall of the screws 204. The screws 204 are used to limit the sliding plate 206.

[0035] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the sliding plate 206 within the guide groove 203, first loosen the nut 207 to allow the sliding plate 206 to slide freely. After sliding to the appropriate position, use a torque wrench to tighten the nut 207 to the specified torque, thereby locking the position of the sliding plate 206. This ensures that the mounting clamp 205 can correspond to the installation position of different vehicle dashboards. The limiting block 202 is used to limit the sliding range of the sliding plate 206 within the guide groove 203, preventing it from sliding excessively beyond the design-allowed adjustment range, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the entire assembly structure.

[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4 A fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the arc plate 1. Multiple extension plates 11 are slidably connected at the same horizontal height. The fixing block 22 is used to connect with other structures. A fixing plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 6. Multiple mounting holes 3 23 are opened on the inner wall of the fixing plate 24. The mounting holes 3 23 are used to connect with the vehicle. Multiple rotating rods 2 17 are rotatably connected to the upper middle part of the front side of the arc plate 1. A rotating block 16 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 2 17. The rotating rod 2 17 is used to support the rotation of the rotating block 16.

[0037] Specifically, mounting hole 3 23 is used to connect fixing plate 2 24 to the corresponding part of the vehicle with special mounting bolts during actual installation, so that the entire instrument panel tube beam assembly structure can be installed on the vehicle to meet the various performance requirements of the vehicle during driving. Multiple extension plates 11 are slidably connected at the same horizontal height, ensuring the coordination and functionality of the entire assembly structure.

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 3 - Appendix Figure 5 A connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected between adjacent fixed plates 21. The inner wall of the connecting plate 20 is provided with a second mounting hole 19, which is used to connect it to the corresponding mechanism. Multiple fixed plates 21 are fixedly connected near the edge of the bottom of the arc plate 1. The multiple fixed plates 21 are all fixedly connected at the same horizontal height. The fixed plates 21 are used to connect the connecting plates 20. A fixed block 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc plate 1. The inner wall of the fixed block 15 is provided with a first mounting hole 18, which is used to connect the bottom of the structure to the vehicle.

[0039] Specifically, during the actual installation process, mounting hole 219 uses mounting bolts that conform to automotive safety standards to connect connecting plate 20 to other structural components using a torque wrench, meeting the usage requirements of automobiles under various working conditions. Mounting hole 18 can also connect it to the corresponding structure using mounting bolts. Fixing plate 121 can support connecting plate 20 and extend its installation.

[0040] Working principle: When different numbers of wire harnesses need to be installed in the arc plate 1, first pull the limiting sleeve 6 out to both sides, then pull the extension plate 11 out from the arc plate 1. Then, while pulling it out, rotate the rotating plate 5 and multiple extension plates 11 along the rotating shaft 3 10 and rotating shaft 1 4, thereby driving multiple arc plates 1 to expand outward together. When it reaches the appropriate position, put the limiting sleeve 6 on the outer wall of the positioning sleeve 9. At this time, the rotating plate 2 7 rotates along the rotating shaft 2 8, thereby adapting and fitting against the outer wall of the rotating plate 1 5. Then, rotate the collar 3 along the rotating rod 1 12 and put it on the outer wall of the rotating plate 2 7. Then insert the screw 14 and rotate the nut 2 13 to limit the screw 14.

[0041] When the same arc-shaped plate 1 is needed to install the instrument panel of different vehicle models, first pull multiple sliding plates 206 along the guide groove 203 to adjust the position of the instrument panel. When it reaches the appropriate position, insert the screw 204 into the sliding plate 206 so that it can be inserted into the limiting hole 201. Then rotate the nut 207 to limit the screw 204, thereby limiting the sliding plate 206. Finally, install the instrument panel on it by using the mounting clip 205.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
