Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle component technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket, a sub-instrument assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The mounting bracket for the secondary instrument panel is a structural component inside the vehicle used to secure the secondary instrument panel. The mounting bracket is typically connected to the center console of the vehicle body, providing support and a fixing point for the secondary instrument panel.

[0003] The stiffness of the sub-instrument panel mounting bracket has a significant impact on various aspects of vehicle performance, including handling stability and comfort. A high-stiffness mounting bracket reduces vibration, thereby lowering noise generated by the sub-instrument panel and improving vehicle comfort. It also better distributes forces evenly across the vehicle body structure, ensuring the relative position of the sub-instrument panel remains stable during cornering, acceleration, or braking, thus enhancing vehicle handling stability. Currently, the stiffness of the sub-instrument panel mounting bracket still needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a mounting bracket, a sub-instrument assembly, and a vehicle, which can effectively improve the rigidity of the mounting bracket, thereby improving the vehicle's comfort and handling stability.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a mounting bracket for use in a vehicle, comprising a bracket body and two side plates;

[0006] The bracket body is used to connect the floor of the vehicle and the bottom wall of the vehicle's sub-dashboard along the height direction of the vehicle;

[0007] Two side panels are located on both sides of the bracket body along the width direction of the vehicle and extend away from the floor. One end of each side panel has a connecting part and the other end has a fixing part. The connecting part is connected to the bracket body, and the fixing part is used to connect to the sub-dashboard along the side wall of the vehicle along the width direction.

[0008] This embodiment of the application, by providing a side plate on each side of the bracket body and connecting the connecting part of the side plate to the bracket body and the fixing part to the side wall of the sub-instrument panel, can increase the span of the bracket body along the width direction of the vehicle, while enabling the mounting bracket as a whole to achieve combined force in the vertical and horizontal directions, effectively improving the rigidity of the mounting bracket. Therefore, this application can not only reduce the vibration of the sub-instrument panel during vehicle operation, thereby reducing noise caused by vibration and improving vehicle comfort, but also reduce the displacement or deformation of the sub-instrument panel caused by external forces, maintain the stability of the sub-instrument panel, and improve the vehicle's handling stability.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some possible implementations, the support body includes a top plate and two support plates;

[0010] The top plate is used to connect the sub-instrument panel to the bottom wall along the height direction of the vehicle;

[0011] Two support plates are disposed at both ends of the top plate and extend toward the floor. The top plate and the two support plates form a clearance space for the air conditioning duct.

[0012] In this embodiment, a clearance space is formed by the top plate and two support plates to avoid the air conditioning duct, which allows the air conditioning duct to pass smoothly and avoids bending that could cause the duct cross-section to flatten or wrinkle, thereby obstructing airflow, resulting in insufficient air volume in the air conditioning system and affecting the cooling or heating effect.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementation, in some possible implementations, the top plate has a recessed portion that is recessed toward the air conditioning duct, the recessed portion being used to contact and fix the air conditioning duct.

[0014] In this embodiment, the recessed portion contacts and connects to the air conditioning duct, which can confine the air conditioning duct within the clearance space, thereby reducing the shaking of the air conditioning duct, avoiding poor airflow inside the air conditioning duct, and preventing the air flowing inside the duct from generating eddies or resonance when the air conditioning duct shakes, thereby increasing noise and affecting the comfort of the occupants.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, the support plate includes a support portion and a folding portion;

[0016] The support extends toward the floor, and the end of the support away from the floor is connected to the top plate;

[0017] The folding portion is angled to the support plate and extends in a direction away from the clearance space for connection with the floor; the two ends of the folding portion are respectively connected to the connecting portion of the side plate and the end of the support portion near the floor.

[0018] This application embodiment, by providing a folding section, enables the connection between the side panel and the support section while maintaining a connection with the floor, thus providing effective support for the connection between the side panel, the support section, and the sub-dashboard.

[0019] In combination with the first aspect and the above-described implementations, in some possible implementations, the width of the fixing part is greater than the width of the connecting part in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle; and / or

[0020] The fixing part has rolled edges on both sides along the length direction of the vehicle; and / or

[0021] The side panel is provided with raised ribs that extend along the height direction of the vehicle; and / or

[0022] The side plate is provided with weight reduction holes.

[0023] In this embodiment, the wider fixing part allows for a more secure connection between the fixing part and the side wall of the sub-dashboard. Curled edges on the front and rear sides of the fixing part increase its edge strength and improve the overall appearance of the mounting bracket. Raised ribs on the side plate enhance its load-bearing capacity. Weight-reduction holes in the side plate further improve the vehicle's lightweight design.

[0024] Secondly, this application also provides a sub-instrument assembly, including a sub-instrument and a mounting bracket as described in any of the first aspects above, wherein the bracket body is connected to the bottom wall of the sub-instrument along the height direction of the vehicle, the connecting portion of the side panel is connected to the bracket body, and the fixing portion of the side panel is connected to the side wall of the sub-instrument along the width direction of the vehicle.

[0025] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some possible implementations, the sub-dashboard has extensions on both sides extending toward the floor along the width direction of the vehicle;

[0026] The fixing part is connected to the extension part.

[0027] In this embodiment, the extension can extend downward and beyond the sub-instrument panel to form a larger mounting surface that connects with the fixing part. Thus, when connected with the fixing part, the load can be distributed to a larger connection area, reducing the stress borne by the local area and improving the connection strength and stability between the mounting bracket and the sub-instrument panel.

[0028] In combination with the second aspect and the above-described implementation, in some possible implementations, the surface of the extension is provided with at least one first rib and at least one second rib, the first rib and the second rib intersecting.

[0029] In this embodiment of the application, by providing intersecting first and second ribs on the surface of the extension, the load-bearing capacity of the extension can be effectively improved.

[0030] In combination with the second aspect and the above implementation, in some possible implementations, the sub-instrument panel has a limiting portion on its bottom wall along the height direction of the vehicle, and the limiting portion has a strip-shaped notch extending along the length direction of the vehicle;

[0031] The bracket body is provided with a positioning protrusion, which cooperates with the strip-shaped notch to position the sub-instrument panel in the length direction of the vehicle.

[0032] In this embodiment, by providing a limiting part with a strip-shaped notch on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel and a positioning protrusion on the top plate of the bracket body, the positioning protrusion can cooperate with the strip-shaped notch to position the sub-instrument panel in the length direction of the vehicle, effectively improving the installation convenience of the sub-instrument panel.

[0033] Thirdly, this application also provides a vehicle including a floor and a sub-instrument assembly as described in any of the second aspects above, the sub-instrument being connected to the floor via the mounting bracket.

[0034] Additional aspects and advantages of this application will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

[0058] The mounting bracket for the secondary instrument panel is a structural component inside the vehicle used to secure the secondary instrument panel. The mounting bracket is typically connected to the center console of the vehicle body, providing support and a fixing point for the secondary instrument panel.

[0059] The stiffness of the sub-instrument panel mounting bracket has a significant impact on various aspects of vehicle performance, including handling stability and comfort. A high-stiffness mounting bracket reduces vibration, thereby lowering noise generated by the sub-instrument panel and improving vehicle comfort. It also better distributes forces evenly across the vehicle body structure, ensuring the relative position of the sub-instrument panel remains stable during cornering, acceleration, or braking, thus enhancing vehicle handling stability. Currently, the stiffness of the sub-instrument panel mounting bracket still needs further improvement.

[0060] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide a mounting bracket, a sub-instrument assembly, and a vehicle. The mounting bracket, sub-instrument assembly, and vehicle provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1This application discloses a vehicle comprising a floor (not shown) and a sub-instrument panel assembly 100. The sub-instrument panel assembly 100 includes a sub-instrument panel 1 and a mounting bracket 2, with the sub-instrument panel 1 connected to the floor via the mounting bracket 2. The vehicle can be a sedan, commercial vehicle, SUV, or SUV, etc. The vehicle includes a body, and the floor, frame, pillars, roof, and other parts of the body together constitute the overall structural frame of the vehicle. The floor provides support for the body, capable of bearing the weight of passengers, cargo, and various equipment within the vehicle, and evenly distributing these loads to the body structure. The floor is typically assembled with other parts of the body using processes such as stamping, welding, and riveting.

[0062] The secondary instrument panel 1 typically houses components such as the armrest box, cup holders, storage compartments, and control panels. When the vehicle travels on bumpy roads, these components generate inertial forces. The secondary instrument panel 1 is connected to the floor via mounting bracket 2, which effectively transfers these inertial loads to the floor of the vehicle body, allowing the floor to distribute and bear these loads.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting bracket 2 includes a bracket body 21 and two side plates 22. The bracket body 21 is connected to the vehicle floor and the bottom wall of the vehicle's sub-dashboard 1 along the vehicle's height direction. The two side plates 22 are located on both sides of the bracket body 21 along the vehicle's width direction and extend away from the vehicle floor. One end of the side plate 22 has a connecting part 221 and the other end has a fixing part 222. The connecting part 221 is connected to the bracket body 21, and the fixing part 222 is connected to the side wall of the sub-dashboard 1 along the vehicle's width direction.

[0064] The bracket body 21 and the two side plates 22 can be either an integral structure or separate structures. When the bracket body 21 and the two side plates 22 are an integral structure, they can be formed by integral stamping. When the bracket body 21 and the two side plates 22 are separate structures, they can be fixedly connected by welding, plugging, or other methods. The integral structure of the bracket body 21 and the two side plates 22 has the advantages of quick and convenient processing and manufacturing. The separate structure of the bracket body 21 and the two side plates 22 is independent of each other. When one component is damaged, only that component needs to be replaced, which has the advantages of convenient maintenance and low cost.

[0065] See Figures 1 to 3 In the diagram, the vertical and horizontal directions represent the vehicle's height and width, respectively. The bracket body 21 connects to the floor and the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel 1, enabling a fixed connection between the sub-instrument panel 1 and the floor in the vehicle's height direction. Based on this, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connecting part 221 at the lower end of the side plate 22 is connected to the bracket body 21, and the fixing part 222 at the upper end of the side plate 22 is connected to the side wall of the sub-instrument panel 1 along the width direction of the vehicle, thus realizing the fixed connection between the sub-instrument panel 1 and the side plate 22 in the width direction of the vehicle. In this way, not only can the span of the bracket body 21 along the width direction of the vehicle be increased, but the stress state of the mounting bracket 2 can also be improved. On the basis of the vertical stress in the height direction of the vehicle, the mounting bracket 2 also has the horizontal stress in the width direction of the vehicle, realizing the composite stress of the mounting bracket 2 in the vertical and horizontal directions, effectively improving the rigidity of the mounting bracket 2.

[0066] This embodiment of the application provides a side plate 22 on each side of the bracket body 21, and connects the connecting part 221 of the side plate 22 to the bracket body 21, and the fixing part 222 is connected to the side wall of the sub-instrument panel 1. This increases the span of the bracket body 21 along the width direction of the vehicle, while enabling the mounting bracket 2 to achieve combined force in the vertical and horizontal directions, effectively improving the rigidity of the mounting bracket 2. Therefore, this application not only reduces the vibration of the sub-instrument panel 1 during vehicle operation, thereby reducing noise caused by vibration and improving vehicle comfort, but also reduces the displacement or deformation of the sub-instrument panel 1 caused by external forces, maintaining the stability of the sub-instrument panel 1 and improving the vehicle's handling stability.

[0067] Please continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments, the bracket body 21 may include a top plate 211 and two support plates 212. The top plate 211 is connected to the bottom wall of the sub-dashboard 1 along the height direction of the vehicle. The two support plates 212 are disposed at both ends of the top plate 211 and extend in a direction toward the floor. The top plate 211 and the two support plates 212 form a clearance space 210 for avoiding air conditioning ducts (not shown in the figure).

[0068] The top plate 211 can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel 1 by means of screws or other methods. Two support plates 212 are connected to both ends of the top plate 211 and extend in the direction towards the floor, forming a "U"-shaped frame structure with the top plate 211, that is, a clearance space 210 is formed between the two support plates 212 and the top plate 211.

[0069] Vehicles have an air conditioning system, and the air conditioning duct is an important component of this system. It is used to deliver the cold or warm air generated by the air conditioning system from the evaporator or heater to various air vents inside the vehicle, such as the dashboard vents, center console vents, footwell vents, and rear passenger vents, thereby regulating the temperature and airflow distribution inside the vehicle. In this embodiment, the air conditioning duct is used to deliver cold or warm air to the rear passenger vents. To meet requirements for high strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation, air conditioning ducts are typically made of high-strength plastics (such as polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.) or metal materials (such as aluminum alloy).

[0070] In this embodiment, a clearance space 210 is formed by the top plate 211 and two support plates 212 to avoid the air conditioning duct, which allows the air conditioning duct to pass smoothly and avoids bending that would cause the duct cross-section to flatten or wrinkle, thereby obstructing airflow and resulting in insufficient air volume in the air conditioning system, affecting the cooling or heating effect.

[0071] Please continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments, the top plate 211 has a recess 2111 that is recessed toward the air conditioning duct, the recess 2111 being used to contact and fix the air conditioning duct.

[0072] The recessed portion 2111 can be located in the middle of the top plate 211, or it ... Figure 2 The recess 2111 is shown to be located at the edge of the top plate 211. The size of the recess 2111 can be flexibly determined according to factors such as the diameter of the air conditioning duct.

[0073] In this embodiment, the recessed portion 2111 contacts and connects with the air conditioning duct, which can confine the air conditioning duct within the clearance space 210, thereby reducing the shaking of the air conditioning duct, avoiding poor airflow inside the air conditioning duct, and preventing the air flowing inside the duct from generating eddies or resonance when the air conditioning duct shakes, thereby increasing noise and affecting the comfort of the people in the vehicle.

[0074] Please continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support plate 212 includes a support portion 2121 and a folding portion 2122. The support portion 2121 extends toward the floor, and the end of the support portion 2121 away from the floor is connected to the top plate 211; the folding portion 2122 is angled to the support plate 212 and extends toward the clearance space 210 for connection to the floor; the two ends of the folding portion 2122 are respectively connected to the connecting portion 221 of the side plate 22 and the end of the support portion 2121 near the floor.

[0075] like Figure 2As shown, the upper end of the support portion 2121 is connected to the top plate 211, and the lower end of the support portion 2121 is connected to the folding portion 2122. The angle between the folding portion 2122 and the support plate 212 can be a right angle or the like. The folding portion 2122 provides a mounting surface and / or mounting holes for the support plate 212, facilitating its fixed connection to the floor by bolts or welding. It also connects to the connecting portion 221 of the side plate 22, thus connecting the side plate 22 to the support plate 212.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, by providing the folding part 2122, the side panel 22 and the support part 2121 can be connected on the basis of being connected to the floor, thus providing effective support for the connection between the side panel 22 and the support part 2121 and the sub-instrument panel 1.

[0077] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the width of the fixing part 222 is greater than the width of the connecting part 221 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0078] In this embodiment, the width of the fixing part 222 is set to be relatively large, which increases the contact area between the fixing part 222 and the side wall of the sub-instrument panel 1, thereby increasing the friction between the fixing part 222 and the side wall of the sub-instrument panel 1, making the connection between the fixing part 222 and the side wall of the sub-instrument panel 1 more secure. Furthermore, setting the width of the connecting part 221 to be relatively small can reduce the weight of the connecting part 221 while ensuring strength, thus contributing to vehicle weight reduction.

[0079] In some embodiments, the fixing portion 222 has rolled edges on both sides along the length direction of the vehicle. In other words, the fixing portion 222 may have rolled edges on both the front and rear sides of the vehicle. The rolled edges may be rolled toward the bracket body 21 or away from the bracket body 21.

[0080] In this embodiment of the application, rolled edges are provided on the front and rear sides of the fixing part 222. This not only prevents the sharp edges of the fixing part 222 from injuring people, but also increases the edge strength of the fixing part 222. In addition, it can make the edges of the fixing part 222 smoother and improve the overall appearance quality of the mounting bracket 2.

[0081] See Figure 2 Considering that the side plate 22 is relatively thin and easily deformed under external force, in some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with a rib 223, which extends along the height direction of the vehicle.

[0082] Designers can flexibly design the length, width and shape of the rib 223 according to the length and width of the side plate 22, and this application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a rib 223 on the side plate 22 and extending the rib 223 along the height direction of the vehicle, the cross-sectional shape of the side plate 22 can be changed, thereby increasing the moment of inertia of the cross section and improving the bending stiffness. This makes the thinner side plate 22 less prone to deformation under stress, effectively improving the load-bearing capacity.

[0084] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the side plate 22 is provided with weight reduction holes 224.

[0085] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the weight-reducing hole 224 can be a strip-shaped hole extending along the height direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, there can be multiple weight-reducing holes 224, which can be arranged in an array in the middle or edge of the side plate 22. For a side plate 22 with a rib 223, the weight-reducing hole 224 can be provided on the rib 223. Of course, the weight-reducing hole 224 can also be provided on parts of the side plate 22 other than the rib 223.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, by providing weight reduction holes 224 in the side plate 22, the vehicle's lightweight can be further improved.

[0087] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the sub-dashboard 1 has extensions 11 extending toward the floor on both sides along the width direction of the vehicle; the fixing part 222 is connected to the extensions 11.

[0088] The fixing part 222 and the extension part 11 can be detachably connected by means of screwing, snap-fitting, or plugging, or they can be non-detachably connected by means of welding or riveting. Compared with non-detachable connections, the detachable connection of the fixing part 222 and the extension part 11 facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the sub-instrument panel 1 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0089] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the extension 11 can extend downward and beyond the sub-instrument panel 1 to form a larger mounting surface that connects with the fixing part 222. Thus, when connected with the fixing part 222, the load can be distributed to a larger connection area, reducing the stress borne by the local area and improving the connection strength and stability between the mounting bracket 2 and the sub-instrument panel 1.

[0090] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the surface of the extension 11 is provided with at least one first rib 111 and at least one second rib 112, the first rib 111 and the second rib 112 intersecting each other.

[0091] The included angle between the first rib 111 and the second rib 112 can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle, such as 45°, 90°, or 135°. The first rib 111 and the second rib 112 can be located on the surface of the extension 11 away from the support body 21, or on the surface of the extension 11 close to the support body 21. There can be one or more first ribs 111 and second ribs 112, such as two or three. When there are multiple first ribs 111 and second ribs 112, a cross-shaped mesh of small, hollowed-out areas can be formed. When each small area is subjected to external force, due to the constraint of the first ribs 111 and second ribs 112, it can resist bending deformation together with the extension 11, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the extension 11.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, by providing intersecting first ribs 111 and second ribs 112 on the surface of the extension 11, the load-bearing capacity of the extension 11 can be effectively improved.

[0093] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the sub-instrument panel 1 has a limiting part 12 on the bottom wall along the height direction of the vehicle, the limiting part 12 having a strip-shaped notch 121 extending along the length direction of the vehicle; the bracket body 21 has a positioning protrusion, the positioning protrusion cooperating with the strip-shaped notch 121 to position the mounting bracket 2 in the length direction of the vehicle and restrict the degree of freedom of movement of the mounting bracket 2 in the width direction of the vehicle.

[0094] The limiting portion 12 can be directly formed on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel 1, for example, by directly creating a groove in the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel 1 to form a limiting portion 12 with a strip-shaped notch 121. Furthermore, as... Figure 5 As shown, the limiting part 12 can also be a separate component, and the limiting part 12 is installed on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel 1 by means of welding, fusion connection, screwing, bonding, etc. Before installing the limiting part 12, a strip-shaped notch 121 can be formed on the limiting part 12 during the manufacturing process of the limiting part 12. For example, the limiting part 12 may include a base plate, two first upright plates connected to the edge of the base plate along the width direction of the vehicle, and a second upright plate connected to the edge of the base plate along the length direction of the vehicle, and a strip-shaped notch 121 can be formed on the base plate.

[0095] The positioning protrusion can be a protrusion integrally formed on the top plate 211 of the bracket body 21, or it can be a pin, positioning rod, or positioning post welded, screwed, or inserted into the top plate 211. The outer contour of the positioning protrusion matches the opening size of the strip notch 121. For example, when the positioning protrusion is a positioning post, the opening of the strip notch 121 can be equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the positioning post. For example, when the diameter of the positioning post is 15mm, the opening size of the strip notch 121 can be 15mm to 15.5mm. The positioning protrusion has high rigidity and wear and corrosion resistance, therefore, it can be made of metal materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy, or engineering plastics such as nylon, or composite materials such as carbon fiber.

[0096] During the installation of the sub-instrument assembly 100 onto the vehicle floor, the mounting bracket 2 can be connected to the floor first, and then the sub-instrument 1 can be connected to the mounting bracket 2. When connecting the sub-instrument 1 and the mounting bracket 2, simply move the sub-instrument 1 so that the strip-shaped notch 121 on its bottom wall aligns with the positioning protrusion. Then, allow the strip-shaped notch 121 and the positioning protrusion to slide relative to each other. When the positioning protrusion is stopped by the inner wall of the strip-shaped notch 121 along the length direction of the vehicle and cannot slide, it can be considered that the sub-instrument 1 and the mounting bracket 2 are installed in place along the length direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, since the positioning protrusion is sandwiched between the two inner walls of the strip-shaped notch 121 along the width direction of the vehicle, the positioning protrusion can act as a blocking and limiting part 12, thereby restricting the degree of freedom of movement of the sub-instrument 1 in the width direction of the vehicle.

[0097] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a limiting part 12 with a strip-shaped notch 121 on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel 1, and providing a positioning protrusion on the top plate 211 of the bracket body 21, the positioning protrusion can cooperate with the strip-shaped notch 121 to achieve positioning of the sub-instrument panel 1 in the length direction of the vehicle, effectively improving the installation convenience of the sub-instrument panel 1.
