Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile instrument panel installation, specifically relates to an automobile interior instrument panel support assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] Instrument panel supports are used for mounting components, such as instruments, devices and steering columns in a vehicle. Such instrument panel supports are mounted between two pillars of a vehicle body, precisely between the A-pillars. In order to be connected to the A-pillars, the instrument panel support has correspondingly designed mechanical connection pieces on both end portions thereof. An important component of such an instrument panel support is a support structure extending between the connection points. Pillars or supports, such as tunnel supports, can be connected thereto for supporting the support structure between the connection points on both end sides on the chassis side.

[0003] The requirements for such an instrument panel support are manifold. Such an instrument panel support is designed in terms of the mechanical requirements placed on it in order to provide a relevant load path for the best possible load distribution in the event of a frontal or side impact. Furthermore, the instrument panel support serves to prevent intrusion into the passenger compartment. Furthermore, such an instrument panel support must have a sufficiently high stiffness, since further components are connected thereto and these further components are not only to be held mechanically, but also vibrationally. Finally, the component group should not have a disadvantageous effect on the audible or perceptible vibrations in the motor vehicle, thus having advantageous NVH properties (Noise, Vibration, Harshness). The components connected to such an instrument panel support or to the support structure thereof furthermore include an instrument panel trim, a steering column, a heating-air-conditioning device and displays, such as a head-up display or even a directly readable display, such as a central display.

[0004] At present, the instrument panel support is mostly provided with a cross beam and a plurality of fixing supports directly welded on the side surface thereof, such as the instrument panel support of application No. CN202380059817.3. The directly welded fixing supports are poor in bearing and vibration resistance, and the support itself is only positioned and assembled through positioning holes, and the planar fitting property is not high. Thus, the position will be shifted after vibration or abnormal sound will be generated, which will affect the overall safety of the vehicle body. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an automobile interior instrument panel support assembly with better stability. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the utility model wants to solve the technical problem to provide an automobile interior instrument panel support assembly, avoids the past instrument panel support directly welding the support on the side surface, and the stability is not high, and the support itself lacks the higher accurate positioning trouble.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problem, the utility model discloses an automobile interior instrument panel support assembly, comprising:

[0007] Beam rod

[0009] A plurality of positioning brackets are welded on the beam rod, and the positioning brackets have different orientations on the side surface of the beam rod.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present application, the outer edge of the handle part is extended with a positioning sealing edge folded inward, and the positioning sealing edge is arranged reversely to the flange.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present application, the first positioning through holes are arranged in four.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the present application, the positioning bracket is provided with a bolt fixing hole.

[0013] According to an embodiment of the present application, the left and right handle brackets are both folded relatively backward, and the positioning bracket extends relatively forward.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present application can obtain the following technical effects:

[0015] By arranging the left and right handle brackets on the beam rod, sleeving and welding, forming a handle shape, and strengthening the stability, the handle part and the cladding part are arranged, the positioning effect during installation is enhanced by cooperating with the positioning through holes and the fixing through holes, the flange and the positioning sealing edge can further enhance the positioning, and the overall assembly stability of the bracket is high.
