[0029] 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 scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Example, refer to Figures 1-7 A sub-instrument panel with a support device includes a sub-instrument panel 1 and a left support plate 2 and a right support plate 3 disposed on both sides of the sub-instrument panel 1, wherein the two side walls of the sub-instrument panel 1 are in close contact with the left support plate 2 and the right support plate 3 respectively.

[0031] Two positioning sleeves 4 are installed on one side of the outer wall of the left bracket plate 2 and are inserted into the inner wall of the sub-instrument panel 1. A positioning rod 5 is installed on the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 4. A baffle 52 is installed at one end of the positioning rod 5. A threaded sleeve 7 is installed on the outer wall of the positioning rod 5.

[0032] Two insert rods 6 are installed on one side of the outer wall of the right bracket plate 3, which are inserted into the inner wall of the sub-instrument panel 1. One end of the insert rod 6 is equipped with a threaded rod 61, and the outer wall of the threaded rod 61 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 7.

[0033] Furthermore, the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 4 is provided with a limiting groove 41, the inner wall of the positioning sleeve 4 and the outer wall of the positioning rod 5 are slidably connected, a limiting block 51 that is slidably connected to the limiting groove 41 is installed on one side wall of the positioning rod 5, the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 7 and the outer wall of the positioning rod 5 are slidably connected, and the insertion rod 6 and the threaded rod 61 are an integral structure.

[0034] It should be noted that: the positioning sleeve 4 on the left bracket plate 2 and the positioning rod 5 on the right bracket plate 3 are aligned with the holes on the sub-instrument panel 1 and inserted. Then, according to the width of the sub-instrument panel 1, the positioning rod 5 in the positioning sleeve 4 is pulled out so that the threaded sleeve 7 on its outer side just contacts the threaded rod 61 on the insertion rod 6. Then, the threaded sleeve 7 is rotated so that it moves on the positioning rod 5 and the threaded rod 61 is threadedly connected, thereby fixing the positioning sleeve 4 and the insertion rod 6 and completing the installation of the bracket. Moreover, the telescopic positioning rod 5 can be used to install and fix sub-instrument panels 1 of different widths, thus improving the application range of the bracket.

[0035] Furthermore, an annular inclined groove 71 is provided on one end sidewall of the threaded sleeve 7, and a positioning groove 72 is provided on the outer wall of the inclined groove 71. An annular groove 62 is provided on one end sidewall of the insertion rod 6, and multiple mounting grooves 63 are provided on the annular groove 62. Fixing grooves 631 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting groove 63. An adjusting rod 8 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 63. A positioning block 81 that is slidably connected to the inclined groove 71 is installed on one end of the adjusting rod 8. A rotating shaft 82 that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 631 is installed on both sides of the adjusting rod 8. A torsion spring 83 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 82. The two end sidewalls of the torsion spring 83 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting rod 8 and the inner wall of one end of the fixing groove 631, respectively. An extrusion plate 84 is installed on the sidewall of the adjusting rod 8. A retaining ring 64 is installed on one end of the annular groove 62. An adjusting ring 9 that abuts against the extrusion plate 84 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the annular groove 62.

[0036] It should be noted that during the process of fixing the supports on both sides, the threaded sleeve 7 slowly moves closer to the annular groove 62 during the rotation and fixing process. During the approach, the inclined groove 71 on the threaded sleeve 7 slides against the positioning block 81 at one end of the adjusting rod 8, causing the adjusting rod 8 to compress the torsion spring 83 and rotate slowly until the positioning block 81 and the positioning groove 72 are aligned. Under the restoring force of the torsion spring 83, the adjusting rod 8 drives the positioning block 81 to rotate downward, so that the positioning block 81 is inserted into the positioning groove 72. At this time, the fixing of the threaded sleeve 7 is completed, thereby providing secondary fixing at the connection of the support and preventing the threaded sleeve 7 from vibrating and shifting during vehicle movement, thereby improving the connection strength between the support and the sub-instrument panel 1.

[0037] The working principle of a sub-dashboard with a support device:

[0038] Align the positioning sleeve 4 on the left bracket plate 2 and the positioning rod 5 on the right bracket plate 3 with the holes on the sub-instrument panel 1 and insert them. Then, pull out the positioning rod 5 from the positioning sleeve 4 according to the width of the sub-instrument panel 1, so that the threaded sleeve 7 on its outer side just contacts the threaded rod 61 on the insertion rod 6. Then, rotate the threaded sleeve 7 so that it moves on the positioning rod 5 while threadedly connecting the threaded rod 61. At the same time, during the rotation and fixing process, the threaded sleeve 7 slowly moves closer to the annular groove 62. During the approach process, the inclined groove 71 on the threaded sleeve 7 abuts against the positioning block 81 at one end of the adjusting rod 8 and slides, so that the adjusting rod 8 compresses the torsion spring 83 and rotates and slowly rises until it is fixed. Aligning the positioning block 81 and the positioning groove 72, the adjusting rod 8 drives the positioning block 81 to rotate downward under the restoring force of the torsion spring 83, causing the positioning block 81 to engage in the positioning groove 72. At this point, the threaded sleeve 7 is fixed, thus providing secondary fixation to the connection of the bracket. When disassembling, rotate the adjusting ring 9 so that one end abuts against the pressing plate 84, and continuously change the lifting angle of the pressing plate 84 and the adjusting rod 8 during the movement until the positioning block 81 disengages from the positioning groove 72. At this point, the fixation of the threaded sleeve 7 is released, and the bracket can be quickly disassembled. This bracket device can be used to install and fix sub-instrument panels 1 of different widths, thus improving the range of applications.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
