Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, in Embodiment 1, a rear mounting bracket assembly for an automotive dashboard includes a connecting base 2, which can be connected to a vehicle body crossbeam, providing a connection and support foundation for the entire bracket assembly. The connecting base 2 is connected to a support frame 3, and a snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the connecting base 2 and the support frame 3. This snap-fit ​​structure enables convenient connection between the support frame and the connecting base. The support frame 3 has a support groove 5 for supporting the dashboard 4, and the side wall of the support groove 5 has an elastic buckle 6 for locking the position of the dashboard 4. This elastic buckle enables convenient connection during dashboard assembly, accelerating the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. A light-shielding structure 7 is slidably mounted on the support frame 3, and an elastic locking structure 8 is provided between the light-shielding structure 7 and the support frame 3 for adjusting and locking the position of the light-shielding structure 7 relative to the support frame 3. The light-shielding structure 7 is configured to cooperate with the dashboard 4. By setting a light-shielding structure on the support frame that works with the dashboard, light can be blocked, and the position of the light-shielding structure can be adjusted according to actual needs using a flexible locking structure to change the degree of light blocking and improve the comfort of viewing the dashboard display content.

[0029] In a further specific embodiment, the connecting base 2 is a rectangular frame, and the connecting base 2 is provided with several through holes 21. The supporting frame 3 includes an annular shell 31, one end of which is provided with a connecting ring plate 32 for connecting with the connecting base 2, and the other end is provided with a bearing ring plate 33, with a bearing groove 5 formed on the bearing ring plate 33. Specifically, in this embodiment, the annular shell 31 is a sheet metal shell, and a bending section is provided in the middle of the annular shell 31. The bending section allows the instrument panel to be presented at a more suitable angle.

[0030] During installation, the light-shielding structure, connecting base, and support frame are first separated. The connecting base is then connected to the vehicle body crossbeam using bolts inserted into through holes or by welding, forming a support connection foundation. Next, the connecting ring plate of the support frame is quickly connected to the connecting base using a snap-fit ​​structure. The instrument panel wiring harness is then passed through holes in the middle of the support frame and connecting base. Finally, the instrument panel is installed in the bearing groove and locked in place using elastic clips. After installation, the light-shielding structure is connected to the support frame, and its position and fit with the instrument panel are adjusted. Finally, the position of the light-shielding structure is locked using an elastic locking structure, creating a light-shielding effect on the instrument panel. This effect can be adjusted according to changes in the position of the light-shielding structure. This bracket assembly is reliable and easy to assemble. Except for the connection between the connecting base and the vehicle body crossbeam, other parts do not require bolt tightening. All parts utilize efficient assembly structures, improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] Example 2: A rear mounting bracket assembly for an automotive dashboard, based on Example 1, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the fastening structure includes an L-shaped hook 91 fixedly mounted on the connecting base 2, and an L-shaped slot 92 on the connecting ring plate 32 for engaging with the L-shaped hook 91. In this embodiment, four L-shaped hooks and four L-shaped slots are provided, thereby achieving a stable connection between the connecting base and the connecting ring plate through the insertion and engagement of the L-shaped slots and L-shaped hooks. In this embodiment, the L-shaped slots and L-shaped hooks face the same direction, and the entrance size of the L-shaped slot is larger than the size of the L-shaped hook, facilitating the insertion of the L-shaped hook. During actual connection, the L-shaped hook is first inserted into the L-shaped slot, and then the connecting ring plate is moved horizontally so that the L-shaped hook hangs on the L-shaped slot.

[0032] As a further implementation method, such as Figure 5As shown, to achieve locking of the L-shaped hook and L-shaped slot positions, in this embodiment, the connecting ring plate 32 has a sliding groove I 321, a pin I 322 is slidably mounted on the sliding groove I 321, and a spring I 323 is provided between the pin I 322 and the sliding groove I 321. The connecting base 2 has a insertion hole I 324 for inserting the end of the pin I 322. In this embodiment, the pin I is a rectangular frame, and two cylindrical sliding shafts are fixedly mounted on the rectangular frame. The sliding shafts are slidably engaged with the connecting ring plate, and the spring I is sleeved on the cylindrical sliding shafts. When the rectangular frame is moved, the spring I can be compressed.

[0033] Before inserting the L-shaped hook into the L-shaped slot, pull pin I outward. At this time, spring I is compressed. Then, after the L-shaped hook is hooked onto the L-shaped slot, the end of pin I corresponds to the insertion hole I on the connecting base. Release pin I, and under the restoring force of spring I, the end of pin I is inserted into insertion hole I, thus forming a lock and preventing the L-shaped hook from shifting or coming out of the L-shaped slot.

[0034] Example 3: A rear mounting bracket assembly for an automotive dashboard, based on Example 2, such as... Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the bearing groove 5 is a rectangular groove formed on the bearing ring plate 33. The bearing ring plate 33 has a sliding groove II 331. The elastic buckle 6 includes a pin II 61 slidably disposed on the sliding groove II 331. A spring II 62 is provided between the pin II 61 and the sliding groove II 331. The instrument panel 4 has a socket II 63 for inserting the end of the pin II 61. In this embodiment, the pin II is a rectangular frame, on which two cylindrical sliding shafts are fixedly mounted. The sliding shafts slide in conjunction with the bearing ring plate. The spring II is sleeved on the cylindrical sliding shafts, and can be compressed when the rectangular frame is moved.

[0035] In practical use, four elastic buckles are provided, one on each side of the bearing ring plate. When installing the instrument panel, pull out pin II to place the instrument panel into the bearing groove, then release the pin. Under the restoring force of spring II, the end of pin II inserts into the insertion hole on the side wall of the instrument panel, thus locking the position of the instrument panel. Furthermore, the front end of the rectangular frame has an arc-shaped protrusion, which serves as a guide if the hole is not completely aligned during insertion.

[0036] As a further optional implementation, the bearing groove 5 is provided with a gasket 51 that mates with the instrument panel 4. In this embodiment, the gasket is made of sponge, which can support the instrument panel and also provide a certain dustproof and sealing effect.

[0037] Example 4: A rear mounting bracket assembly for an automotive dashboard, based on Example 3, such as... Figure 6 , 8As shown, the light-shielding structure 7 includes a cover 71 with a rectangular opening 72 in the center to mate with the instrument panel 4. Several insertion posts 73 are fixedly connected to the cover 71, and an insertion seat 74 is provided on the annular shell 31. The insertion posts 73 and insertion seats 74 are inserted into each other. In this embodiment, four insertion posts are provided, and the insertion posts and insertion seats are slidably inserted into each other. When adjusting the position of the light-shielding structure, pulling the cover outward or pushing the cover inward causes the insertion posts to slide relative to the insertion seats. The outer end of the cover extends beyond the instrument panel surface, thus blocking external light from shining onto the instrument panel. The position of the cover can be changed according to actual needs, altering the distance the outer end of the cover extends beyond the instrument panel surface to adjust the blocking effect. Furthermore, the cover 71 is provided with a brim 75, which further enhances the light-shielding effect on the instrument panel.

[0038] Furthermore, the elastic locking structure 8 includes several equally spaced grooves 81 on the plug-in post, a locking tongue 82 slidably mounted on the annular housing 31, and a spring III 83 between the locking tongue 82 and the annular housing 31. The end of the locking tongue 82 passes through the plug-in seat 74 and engages with the grooves 81. In the normal engagement state, the plug-in post is inserted into the plug-in seat, and the locking tongue, under the extension force of the spring III, abuts against the groove on the plug-in post, thereby locking the position of the plug-in post. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the light-shielding structure by adjusting the position of the plug-in post, the locking tongue is pulled outward to separate its end from the groove, thereby unlocking the structure. Further, the groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the end of the locking tongue has a rounded portion, which abuts against the groove to lock the position of the plug-in post to a certain extent. When the position of the light-shielding structure needs to be changed, pull the cover outward or push it inward. The cover will move the plug-in post. At this time, the groove will move. With the cooperation of the arc part and the arc-shaped groove structure, the locking tongue will be pushed outward, and the spring III will be compressed to unlock. The arc part will slide along the surface of the plug-in post. When it slides to the next groove, the spring III will extend to lock again.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
