[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 The diagram shows a schematic of an automotive floating instrument panel installation structure provided in one embodiment of this utility model. The automotive floating instrument panel installation structure includes a mounting bracket 100 and mounting mechanisms 200 symmetrically arranged on the floating instrument panel 300, wherein:
[0028] To securely connect the floating instrument panel 300 to the mounting bracket 100, the mounting mechanism 200 includes a first connector 210 connected to the mounting bracket 100 via fasteners, a second connector 220 fastened to the mounting bracket 100, and a third connector 230 snapped onto the mounting bracket 100. The two first connectors 210 are located on the same side of the floating instrument panel 300 and are connected to the connecting holes on the first mounting point 110 of the mounting bracket 100 using fasteners. Compared to the traditional design with a single first connector 210, this embodiment uses two basic first connectors 210, combined with the snap-fit method of the second connector 220, to better connect the floating instrument panel 300 and the mounting bracket 100 into a single unit, facilitating assembly and disassembly and improving assembly efficiency.
[0029] Furthermore, the second connector 220 is bent towards the mounting bracket 100 to latch onto the mounting bracket 100 at an angle. Simultaneously, the second connector 220 and the second mounting point 120 of the mounting bracket 100 are interference-fitted to prevent the floating instrument panel 300 from becoming loose due to vehicle vibration during later use. The second connector 220 includes a connecting portion 221 fixed to the floating instrument panel 300 and a fastening portion 222 snapped onto the mounting bracket 100, with the fastening portion 222 perpendicular to the connecting portion 221. Several reinforcing ribs 223 are also provided on the side of the second connector 220 near the floating instrument panel 300, and these reinforcing ribs 223 are fastened to the mounting bracket 100. The connecting portion 221 is fixedly connected to the back of the floating instrument panel 300 to enhance the stability of the second connector 220 and the floating instrument panel 300. Meanwhile, since the second mounting point 120 is provided with a fastening post 121, when the fastening part 222 passes through the mounting bracket 100 and is fastened to the fastening post 121, the reinforcing rib 223 can be squeezed with the fastening post 121 to form an interference fit assembly method, ensuring that the floating instrument panel 300 fits snugly with the mounting bracket 100.
[0030] The third connector 230 includes an inclined portion 231 connected to the floating instrument panel 300, and a snap-fit portion 232 located at the end of the inclined portion 231 away from the floating instrument panel 300. The two symmetrically arranged third connectors 230 are snap-fitted onto the mounting bracket 100. The angle between the inclined portion 231 and the vertical direction is in the range of 5°-10°, and a square abutment piece 233 is also provided between the inclined portion 231 and the floating instrument panel 300.
[0031] In this embodiment, the two third connectors 230 form an A-shaped buckle. Since the third connectors 230 are tilted outwards at a 5°-10° angle, when the third connector 230 is inserted into the third mounting point 130, the third mounting point 130 presses against the locking portion 232. When the abutment piece 233 abuts against the third mounting point 130, the restoring force drives the locking portion 232 to reset, accompanied by a "click" sound, providing clear assembly positioning feedback, thus completing the installation. The design of the third mounting point 130 and the third connectors 230 ensures precise guiding positioning of the third connectors 230 against the mounting bracket 100, while providing clear assembly positioning feedback, making the assembly and disassembly process more convenient and requiring no complex tools.
[0032] In summary, according to the automotive floating instrument panel mounting structure provided by this utility model, while the first connecting member is connected to the mounting bracket using fasteners, the second connecting member is snapped into the interior of the mounting bracket to enhance the connection stability between the floating instrument panel and the mounting bracket. Simultaneously, the sound of the third connecting member after assembly with the mounting bracket provides clear assembly positioning feedback, preventing misalignment during assembly. Specifically, the automotive floating instrument panel mounting structure includes a mounting bracket and mounting mechanisms symmetrically arranged on the floating instrument panel. The mounting mechanism includes a first connecting member connected to the mounting bracket via fasteners, a second connecting member fastened to the mounting bracket, and a third connecting member snapped into the mounting bracket. The second connecting member is bent towards one side of the mounting bracket to obliquely fasten onto the mounting bracket, and the second connecting member and the mounting bracket have an interference fit.
