Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of passenger vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a floating combination instrument assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional automotive instrument clusters typically employ embedded or floating installation methods. Embedded instrument clusters, limited by space constraints, are generally small in size, display limited information, and have numerous peripheral components, making installation and removal on the dashboard inconvenient. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, users are increasingly focusing on human-machine interaction, demanding larger and more functional displays. Whether it's in-car navigation or the diversification of instrument cluster displays, larger sizes offer greater comfort and convenience for travel. Therefore, extra-large instrument clusters have become widely used and are popular with users.

[0003] The larger the instrument cluster screen, the higher the requirements for product size, structure, mounting method, and reliability. Compared to embedded instrument cluster screens, floating instrument cluster screens offer more design freedom and better viewing angles; during assembly or disassembly, there is no need to assemble or disassemble many other related peripheral components, making operation simple and efficient.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop a floating instrument cluster assembly. Utility Model Content

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown;

[0045] This embodiment provides a floating instrument cluster assembly 10, which includes an instrument cluster liquid crystal display assembly 1 and a mounting structure mounted on the back of the instrument cluster liquid crystal display assembly 1.

[0046] The floating instrument cluster assembly 10 is mounted on the main body assembly 20 of the vehicle's instrument panel via the mounting structure on its rear side, and the lower end of the floating instrument cluster assembly 10 is close to the steering column cover curtain assembly 21 of the vehicle, with a certain gap reserved between them.

[0047] Specifically, this embodiment discloses a floating mounting structure for a combination instrument display assembly. Specifically, it is a floating combination instrument assembly structure composed of a combination instrument display assembly 1, a large screen metal bracket 2, and a large screen plastic back cover 3. The entire assembly structure is installed on the main body assembly 20 of the instrument panel in the interior of the car. Finally, all mounting holes are covered by the mounting plate 22 on the combination instrument, which improves the overall aesthetics and makes disassembly and assembly convenient.

[0048] Preferably, the installation structure of this embodiment includes a large-screen metal bracket 2 installed on the back of the combined instrument LCD display assembly 1; and a large-screen plastic back cover 3 assembled with the large-screen metal bracket 2.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, the large screen metal bracket 2 is assembled and fixed to the back of the combined instrument LCD display assembly 1 by five screws at five first screw points 501.

[0050] Five first screw points 501 are distributed around the circumference of the large screen metal bracket 2 and near the edge.

[0051] First, in this embodiment, the large screen metal bracket 2 is installed on the back of the combined instrument LCD display assembly 1. The large screen metal bracket 2 and the back of the combined instrument LCD display assembly 1 are achieved by installing 5 screws on 5 first screw points 501 respectively.

[0052] Preferably, in this embodiment, when the large-screen plastic back cover 3 is installed on the large-screen metal bracket 2, it is assembled and fixed to the large-screen metal bracket 2 by three screws at three second screw points 502; and in this embodiment, the three second screw points 502 are staggered with the first screw point 501. After the large-screen metal bracket 2 is installed, the large-screen plastic back cover 3 is installed on the large-screen metal bracket 2, and the installation of the large-screen plastic back cover 3 and the large-screen metal bracket 2 is achieved by installing it on the three second screw points 502 with three screws.

[0053] The large-screen metal bracket 2 in this embodiment is made of aluminum alloy through a one-piece stamping process, which provides high strength and effectively prevents the display screen from deforming or being damaged. The large-screen plastic back cover 3 in this embodiment is made of PC+ABS and features an integrated design, which improves the product's stability and dimensional accuracy.

[0054] Preferably, in this embodiment, the large screen metal bracket 2 and the large screen plastic back shell 3 have four cantilever support parts 201 protruding on one side;

[0055] The cantilever support 201 has a third screw point 503.

[0056] In this embodiment, the large screen metal bracket 2 mainly serves to install, position, support, and fix the screen. It is provided with a cantilever support 201 and has four third screw points 503.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lower part of the back of the large screen plastic back cover 3 has two protruding clips 301. When the floating instrument cluster assembly 10 is embedded in the instrument panel upper body assembly 20, the clips 301 of the large screen plastic back cover 3 are positioned and engaged with the corresponding positions of the instrument panel upper body assembly 20. During installation, the floating instrument cluster assembly 10 is first placed on the instrument panel upper body assembly 20 in its original X-direction position, and the cantilever support 201 of the large screen metal bracket 2 is placed on the instrument panel upper body assembly 20. A large screen mounting screw 6 is passed through the third screw point 503 to fix the instrument cluster assembly to the instrument panel upper body assembly 20. After the large screen mounting screw 6 is installed, the instrument cluster upper mounting plate 1 is then fastened onto the instrument panel assembly to prevent the screws from being exposed. This completes the installation of the floating instrument cluster assembly 10.

[0058] Preferably, in this embodiment, two sponge pads 4 are installed in the gap between the floating instrument cluster assembly 10 and the steering column cover curtain assembly 21;

[0059] Two sponge pads 4 are glued and fixed to the bottom surface of the large screen plastic back cover 3.

[0060] Since the floating instrument cluster assembly 10 is suspended above the steering column cover curtain assembly 21, there is a 1mm gap between the two. To avoid friction noise between the two, two sponge pads 4 are attached to the bottom of the large screen plastic back cover 3.

[0061] In the above technical solution, the floating combination instrument assembly provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0062] This utility model innovatively uses a floating installation structure for its assembly structure. The large screen plastic back cover 3 adopts an integrated injection molding structure, which is integrated with the instrument cluster LCD display assembly 1 and the large screen metal bracket 2 and then installed on the instrument panel main body assembly 20. All screw points are then covered by the instrument cluster mounting plate 22. This structure is a platform design that can be used in sedans and SUVs, with free design space and a better visual angle. The structure is simple, highly precise, and dimensionally stable and reliable. During assembly and disassembly, there is no need to assemble or disassemble too many other related peripheral parts, making the operation simple and efficient.

[0063] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
