Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an instrument panel device and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] HUD (Head-Up Display), also known as a head-up display, is an auxiliary display device that projects important information such as vehicle speed and navigation onto the windshield in front of the driver, allowing the driver to see this information without looking down or turning their head, thereby reducing the frequency of driver attention interruption and improving driving safety.
[0003] In related technologies, vehicles equipped with HUDs require openings in the upper surface of the dashboard to accommodate the HUD's light transmission requirements. For the same vehicle model, there are typically two configurations: one with a HUD and one without. Currently, dashboards with and without HUDs differ structurally and require separate manufacturing processes, resulting in limited versatility. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose an instrument panel device and vehicle that aims to improve the versatility of the instrument panel body, so that the same instrument panel body can be used in different vehicle configuration versions with or without HUD.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an instrument panel device for use in vehicles, the instrument panel device comprising:
[0006] The instrument panel body has mounting holes; and
[0007] A shielding cover or a light-passing cover is optionally installed in the mounting hole. The shielding cover can cover the mounting hole, and the light-passing cover is provided with a light-passing channel for the projection light of the head-up display to pass through.
[0008] In one embodiment, the instrument panel body is provided with a mounting structure, and the shielding cover and the light-transmitting cover can share at least a portion of the mounting structure for connection with the instrument panel body.
[0009] In one embodiment, the mounting structure includes a first snap-fit portion and a first fastening portion, wherein the shielding cover snaps into the first snap-fit portion and is connected to the first fastening portion by a first fastener; and / or, the light-transmitting cover snaps into the first snap-fit portion and is connected to the first fastening portion by a first fastener.
[0010] In one embodiment, multiple first snap-fit portions and multiple first fastening portions are provided. The multiple first snap-fit portions are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the mounting hole, and the multiple first fastening portions are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the mounting hole. The first snap-fit portions and the first fastening portions are provided on opposite sides of the mounting hole.
[0011] In one embodiment, the light-passing cover includes a first cover ring portion and a second cover ring portion distributed along the extension direction of the light-passing channel. The second cover ring portion is disposed close to the head-up display, and at least the inner circumferential surface of the second cover ring portion is provided with a light-absorbing structure.
[0012] In one embodiment, the light-absorbing structure is configured as a flocked layer.
[0013] In one embodiment, the first cover ring portion and the second cover ring portion are separately formed, and the light-absorbing structure is disposed on the second cover ring portion.
[0014] In one embodiment, the first cover ring portion is detachably connected to the second cover ring portion by a second snap and / or a second fastener.

[0043] This utility model proposes an instrument panel device.
[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the instrument panel device is applied to a vehicle. The instrument panel device includes an instrument panel body 100, which has a mounting hole 101. The instrument panel device also includes a shielding cover 210 or a light-passing cover 220, which are selectively installed in the mounting hole 101. The shielding cover 210 can cover the mounting hole 101, and the light-passing cover 220 has a light-passing channel 241 for the projection light of the vehicle's head-up display 300 to pass through.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 In the first configuration version of the vehicle, where the head-up display 300 is required, simply installing the light-passing cover 220 onto the mounting hole 101 of the instrument panel body 100 allows the light from the head-up display 300 to pass through the light-passing channel 241 of the light-passing cover 220 and shine onto the windshield, thus achieving the head-up display function. That is, in this case, the light-passing channel 241 of the light-passing cover 220 serves as part of the light-emitting path of the head-up display 300. It is understood that in this configuration version of the vehicle, the instrument panel device does not have a shielding cover 210 installed or used.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 In the second configuration version of the vehicle, where the head-up display 300 is not required, simply installing the cover 210 over the mounting hole 101 of the instrument panel body 100 will cover the mounting hole 101, thus preventing the mounting hole 101 from being exposed and disrupting the overall design of the instrument panel unit. It is understood that in this configuration version of the vehicle, the instrument panel unit has not had the cover 220 installed or used.
[0047] In this invention, the shielding cover 210 and the light-transmitting cover 220 can share the same dashboard body 100 to either block the mounting hole 101 or allow the projected light from the head-up display 300 to escape, thus meeting the requirements of different vehicle configurations. In other words, by improving the versatility of the dashboard body 100, the same dashboard body 100 can be used in different vehicle models with or without a head-up display 300. Therefore, there is no need to develop and manufacture different dashboard bodies 100 for different configurations with or without a head-up display 300, reducing the development and product costs of the dashboard device, thereby reducing the overall vehicle cost.
[0048] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the invention, the directional indication of the instrument panel device is based on the correct installation of the instrument panel device on the vehicle and refers to the direction of the vehicle coordinate system. Specifically, the front-to-back direction of the instrument panel device refers to the X-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system (the front direction of the vehicle is forward), the left-to-right direction refers to the Y-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system, and the up-down direction refers to the Z-axis direction of the vehicle coordinate system.
[0049] Optionally, the instrument panel body 100 includes a front defrost cover 110, and a mounting hole 101 is provided on the front defrost cover 110. Of course, in other embodiments, the instrument panel body 100 may not have a front defrost cover 110. For example, the instrument panel body 100 includes an upper cover and a lower frame, the upper cover being located above the waistline of the instrument panel and the lower frame being located below the waistline of the instrument panel. The upper cover and the lower frame are integrally formed, and the mounting hole 101 is provided on the upper cover.
[0050] Please see Figure 5 Optionally, the edge contour of the mounting hole 101 is adapted to the outer contour of the light-emitting surface of the head-up display 300, so that the contour size of the mounting hole 101 is minimized, thereby minimizing the size of the shielding cover 210 and the light-passing cover 220, and maximizing the savings in mold clamping and inspection costs for related parts. It should be noted that the light-emitting surface of the head-up display 300 refers to the interface from which the projected light is emitted from its interior.
[0051] Optionally, the instrument panel body 100 is provided with a mounting structure, and the shielding cover 210 and the light-transmitting cover 220 can share at least a portion of the mounting structure to connect with the instrument panel body 100. That is, at least a portion of the mounting structure provided on the instrument panel body 100 can be shared by the shielding cover 210 and the light-transmitting cover 220, thereby reducing the number of mounting structures, simplifying the structure of the instrument panel body 100, and reducing the development and manufacturing costs of the instrument panel body 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the shielding cover 210 and the light-transmitting cover 220 can also be installed and fixed using completely different mounting structures.
[0052] Please see Figure 4 , Figures 11 to 14 In the second embodiment, optionally, the mounting structure includes a first snap-fit portion 111 and a first fastening portion 112. The cover 210 snaps into the first snap-fit portion 111 and is connected to the first fastening portion 112 via a first fastener. Specifically, the cover 210 can be pre-fixed via the first snap-fit portion 111, and then the cover 210 can be reliably mounted on the instrument panel body 100 using the first fastener, thereby facilitating the installation of the cover 210 and improving its installation reliability. Of course, in other embodiments, only the first snap-fit portion 111 or the first fastening portion 112 may be provided, or the mounting structure may be configured as a welding rib or other structure, and the cover 210 may be connected to the instrument panel body 100 via a welding process.
[0053] Please see Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 10 In the second embodiment, optionally, the light-transmitting cover 220 is snapped into the first snap-fit portion 111 and connected to the first fastening portion 112 via a first fastener. Specifically, the light-transmitting cover 220 can be pre-fixed via the first snap-fit portion 111, and then the first fastener is used to reliably install the light-transmitting cover 220 onto the instrument panel body 100, thereby facilitating the installation of the light-transmitting cover 220 and improving its installation reliability. Of course, in other embodiments, only the first snap-fit portion 111 or the first fastening portion 112 may be provided, or the installation structure may be configured as a welding rib or other structure, and the light-transmitting cover 220 may be connected to the instrument panel body 100 via a welding process.
[0054] Optionally, the shielding cover 210 and the light-passing cover 220 share all of the first snap-fit portion 111 and the first fastening portion 112. Of course, in other embodiments, the shielding cover 210 and the light-passing cover 220 may share the first snap-fit portion 111 and the first fastening portion 112.
[0055] Optionally, the first fastening part 112 is configured as a first hole, and the shielding cover 210 and the light-passing cover 220 are provided with a second hole 202 corresponding to the first hole. The first fastener includes, but is not limited to, screws or rivets, for example, by screwing the first hole and the second hole 202. The first snap-fit part 111 is configured as a first buckle, and the shielding cover 210 and the light-passing cover 220 are provided with a first snap hole 201 corresponding to the first snap hole. The first snap hole can be snapped into the first snap hole 201 of the shielding cover 210 or the light-passing cover 220.
[0056] Please see Figure 4Optionally, multiple first engaging portions 111 and multiple first fastening portions 112 are provided. The multiple first engaging portions 111 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting hole 101, and the multiple first fastening portions 112 are spaced apart along the length of the mounting hole 101. The first engaging portions 111 and the first fastening portions 112 are located on opposite sides of the mounting hole 101. Thus, by having multiple first engaging portions 111 and multiple first fastening portions 112 jointly constrain the shielding cover 210 or the light-transmitting cover 220, the installation reliability of the shielding cover 210 or the light-transmitting cover 220 can be improved. Furthermore, the first engaging portions 111 and the first fastening portions 112 are located on opposite sides of the mounting hole 101; that is, the first engaging portions 111 are concentrated on one side of the mounting hole 101, and the first fastening portions 112 are concentrated on the other side of the mounting hole 101. This is beneficial for the development of manufacturing molds for the instrument panel body 100 and also for improving the assembly efficiency of the shielding cover 210 and the light-transmitting cover 220. Of course, in other embodiments, the first snap-fit portion 111 and the first fastening portion 112 may be arranged on the same side of the mounting hole 101.
[0057] Without loss of generality, considering the sensitivity of the head-up display 300 to light reflection, the reflectivity of the overlay 220 in the area below the light-damping line of the corresponding head-up display 300 is required to be low, for example, less than or equal to 2%. To achieve this, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 5 to 7 Optionally, the light-passing cover 220 includes a first cover ring portion 221 and a second cover ring portion 231 distributed along the extending direction of the light-passing channel 241. The second cover ring portion 231 is disposed near the head-up display 300, and at least the inner peripheral surface of the second cover ring portion 231 is provided with a light-absorbing structure (not shown in the figures). It should be noted that the inner peripheral surface of the second cover ring portion 231 refers to the peripheral surface of the second cover ring portion 231 near the light-passing channel 241. In this way, the light-absorbing structure can absorb light to reduce the reflected light generated by the inner peripheral surface of the second cover ring portion 231, that is, to reduce the reflectivity of the inner peripheral surface of the second cover ring portion 231. Of course, in other embodiments, the light-absorbing structure may not be provided.
[0058] As is easily understood, light-absorbing structures can take many forms. For example, in one embodiment, the light-absorbing structure is configured as a flocked layer. For instance, flocking is directly applied to the inner circumferential surface of the second cover ring 231 to form a flocked layer. In this way, the flocked layer can meet the requirement of a reflectivity of less than or equal to 2%, while also improving the feel and appearance of the second cover ring 231. Furthermore, this solution is technically mature and low-cost. Of course, in other embodiments, other forms of light-absorbing structures can also be used, as long as the requirement of a reflectivity of less than or equal to 2% is met. For example, a high-absorbency coating, such as a carbon black-based coating or a nanoporous light-absorbing material, can be sprayed onto the inner circumferential surface of the second cover ring 231, forming a light-absorbing layer. As another example, a sawtooth, honeycomb, or wedge-shaped inner wall structure can be designed on the inner circumferential surface of the second cover ring 231. By attenuating light energy through multiple reflections, these inner wall structures become light-absorbing structures.
[0059] Please refer to the following: Figures 8 to 10 Optionally, the first cover ring portion 221 and the second cover ring portion 231 are separately formed, with the light-absorbing structure disposed on the second cover ring portion 231. That is, in this embodiment, the light-absorbing structure is only disposed on the second cover ring portion 231, and the first cover ring portion 221 does not have a light-absorbing structure. In this way, the overall manufacturing cost of the light-absorbing cover 220 can be reduced. For example, when the light-absorbing structure is a flocked layer or a sprayed layer, the first cover ring portion 221 does not need to undergo flocking or spraying processes. Secondly, it also allows the surface treatment process and / or appearance color of the first cover ring portion 221 to be consistent with the upper surface of the instrument panel body 100, thereby improving the appearance quality of the instrument panel body 100.
[0060] It is worth mentioning that in the first configuration version of the vehicle, the front defroster cover 110 is equipped with a flexible covering layer. For example, a slush-molded foam layer is constructed on the outer surface of the skeleton of the front defroster cover 110 using a slush-molded foaming process, and this slush-molded foam layer is the flexible covering layer. Since part of the structure of the first cover ring 221 is exposed on the outside of the mounting hole 101, the outer surface of the first cover ring 221 may also be equipped with a flexible covering layer, and the color and texture of the flexible covering layer of the first cover ring 221 are consistent with the flexible covering layer of the front defroster cover 110 to improve the appearance quality of the instrument panel device.
[0061] In the second configuration version of the vehicle, the front defroster cover 110 does not have a flexible overlay; instead, the texture, such as a leather texture, is directly molded onto its outer surface during manufacturing. Optionally, the visor cover 210 also has its outer surface texture directly molded during manufacturing, and its texture and color are consistent with the front defroster cover 110. That is, both the front defroster cover 110 and the visor cover 210 are configured as leather-textured injection molded parts, thereby minimizing costs.
[0062] Optionally, the first cover ring 221 is detachably connected to the second cover ring 231 via a second snap 222 and / or a second fastener. This facilitates the installation or removal and replacement of the first cover ring 221 and the second cover ring 231, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the maintenance costs of the instrument panel device.
[0063] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 10 Optionally in this embodiment, the first cover ring portion 221 is provided with a second buckle 222 and a third hole 223; the second cover ring portion 231 is provided with a second buckle hole 233 corresponding to the second buckle 222; the second cover ring portion 231 is provided with a fourth hole 232 corresponding to the third hole 223; the second fastener passes through the fourth hole 232 and is connected to the third hole 223; the second cover ring portion 231 is provided with a second hole 202; the first fastener passes through the second hole 202 and is connected to the first hole. The first and second fasteners can be screws.
[0064] Please see Figure 6 Optionally, the upper end of the light cover 220 is provided with a concealing protrusion 224, which is located at least on the rear side of the mounting hole 101 and protrudes from the upper surface of the instrument panel body 100. Specifically, the concealing protrusion 224 is optionally located at the upper end of the first cover ring 221. In this way, the concealing protrusion 224, formed by its high profile, can prevent the seam line from being exposed, that is, it can block the driver's view to prevent the driver from seeing the seam line between the first cover ring 221 and the second cover ring 231, thereby improving the appearance quality of the instrument panel device. Of course, in other embodiments, the concealing protrusion 224 may not be provided.
[0065] Please see Figure 11 It is worth mentioning that the cover 210 does not have a concealing protrusion 224, and the rear edge of the upper surface of the cover 210 is flush with the rear edge of the mounting hole 101. This reduces the obstruction of the driver's view by the cover 210, better meeting the driver's visibility needs. Secondly, it makes the upper surface of the front defroster cover 110 appear smoother, thus improving its appearance.
[0066] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiment where the first cover ring 221 is provided with a concealer protrusion 224, the installation steps of the first cover ring 221 and the second cover ring 231 on the front defrost cover 110 are as follows: First, the second cover ring 231 is installed to the lower side of the front defrost cover 110 by means of back mounting. Then, the first cover ring 221 and the second cover ring 231 are pre-fixed by means of forward mounting through snap-fit. Then, the second fastener is installed on the fourth hole 232 and the third hole 223 by means of back mounting, so as to achieve the final fixation of the first cover ring 221, the second cover ring 231 and the front defrost cover 110.
[0067] It should be noted that "back mounting" refers to assembly in the space on the lower side of the front defrost cover 110, while "front mounting" refers to assembly in the space on the upper side of the front defrost cover 110.
[0068] When the second cover ring 231 is installed to the lower side of the front defrost cover 110 via a back-mounting method, it is first pre-fixed by engaging the first buckle through the first snap hole 201, and then further fixed by passing the first fastener through the second hole 202 and connecting it to the first hole. Alternatively, the first cover ring 221 and the second cover ring 231 can be pre-fixed via a forward-mounting method, whereby the second buckle 222 of the first cover ring 221 engages with the second snap hole 233 of the second cover ring 231.
[0069] It is understandable that the installation steps of the cover 210 are relatively simple. That is, the cover 210 is installed on the lower side of the front defrost cover 110 by means of back mounting, and the cover 210 is fixed by the first buckle and the first fastener.
[0070] Please see Figure 1 The instrument panel body 100 includes an instrument panel cover assembly, which includes an instrument panel cover 120 and a front defrost cover 110. The front defrost cover 110 is located on the front side of the instrument panel cover 120 and has mounting holes 101 and front defrost grille holes 102. A shielding cover 210 or a light-transmitting cover 220 is spaced apart from the front defrost grille holes 102 in the left-right direction. This spaced-apart arrangement of the front defrost grille holes 102 and the shielding cover 210 or light-transmitting cover 220 prevents the shielding cover 210 and light-transmitting cover 220 from obscuring the front defrost grille holes 102, thus avoiding poor front defrosting performance and preventing front defrosting airflow from entering the instrument panel assembly.
[0071] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the instrument panel device further includes a head-up display 300. That is, in this embodiment, the instrument panel device is sold and used with the head-up display 300 installed. Of course, in other embodiments, the instrument panel device may not include the head-up display 300; that is, the instrument panel device may be sold and used without the head-up display 300. For example, in a typical vehicle production process, the instrument panel device is usually manufactured and sold to the automaker by supplier A, and the head-up display 300 is manufactured and sold to the automaker by supplier B. The automaker then installs the instrument panel device and the head-up display 300 onto the vehicle body and sells and uses them as a complete vehicle. In this case, the instrument panel device manufactured and sold to the automaker by supplier A may or may not have the head-up display 300 installed.
[0072] This utility model also proposes a vehicle that includes the aforementioned dashboard device. The specific structure of the dashboard device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here. The vehicle includes a body and a windshield. The dashboard device is mounted on the body and located below the windshield. In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, the head-up display can be mounted below the mounting holes of the dashboard body, and its projected light can pass through the light cover and shine onto the windshield.
[0073] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
