Description

Automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an installation structure for an automotive instrument cluster display screen. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive instrument cluster display screen is a digital display terminal integrating various driving information within the vehicle's cockpit. It serves as the core interface for driver-vehicle interaction, providing real-time feedback on vehicle status, driving data, and warning information to help drivers fully understand the vehicle's condition, ensuring driving safety and optimizing the driving experience. In automotive design and development, the instrument cluster display screen is considered an exterior component; its installation location is determined by the vehicle's overall shape, requiring a balance between aesthetics, space constraints, and installation reliability during design. Traditionally, instrument cluster display screens are installed by first setting up a mounting bracket on the back and then fixing the bracket to the dashboard crossbeam assembly. However, due to the screen's large size and weight, there are numerous mounting points, typically requiring screw mounting structures around the screen's perimeter. Furthermore, to improve aesthetics, decorative covers are often added to conceal the screws. This necessitates considering not only the installation space for the screen itself but also the space for the decorative cover, resulting in poor installation convenience. Additionally, it increases the number of parts and assembly steps, leading to higher product development costs and increasing the risk of assembly errors and potential noise issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model provides an automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure to overcome the aforementioned problems in the prior art. The automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure of this utility model includes a display screen body and a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket connected to each other. A mounting protrusion is provided on the back of the display screen body. The first and second mounting brackets have specific structures and are respectively connected to the mounting protrusion. The first mounting bracket has a mounting part that connects to the display screen body, and the second mounting bracket has a welding part that connects to the dashboard crossbeam. This allows the instrument cluster display screen to be fixed to the dashboard crossbeam. With fewer mounting points, the required number of accessories is reduced, which helps to lower product development costs. Since all mounting points are located on the back of the display screen body, no additional decorative cover is needed, reducing installation space and improving the overall aesthetics after assembly.

[0004] The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0005] A mounting structure for an automotive instrument cluster display screen includes a display screen body; a mounting protrusion is provided on the back of the display screen body; a first mounting bracket is provided at the base of the mounting protrusion; the first mounting bracket is U-shaped and includes a mounting portion A, a mounting portion B, and a mounting portion C connected in sequence; the mounting portion A is fixedly connected to the mounting protrusion, and the mounting portion B is fixedly connected to the display screen body; a second mounting bracket is connected between the mounting portion C and the end of the mounting protrusion; a snap-fit ​​groove is provided at one end of the second mounting bracket, and a mounting hole A is provided at the other end; correspondingly, a snap-fit ​​block is provided on the outer end face of the mounting protrusion, and a mounting hole B is provided on the mounting portion C; the snap-fit ​​groove and the snap-fit ​​block engage, the mounting hole A and the mounting hole B are aligned and fixed by bolts; the end of the second mounting bracket near the snap-fit ​​groove extends outward to form a welding portion for welding and fixing to the instrument panel crossbeam.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure of this utility model includes a display screen body and a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket connected to each other. A mounting protrusion is provided on the back of the display screen body, and the first and second mounting brackets are respectively connected to the mounting protrusion. The first mounting bracket also has a mounting part connected to the display screen body, and the second mounting bracket also has a welding part connected to the dashboard crossbeam. This allows the instrument cluster display screen to be fixed to the dashboard crossbeam with high connection strength. Furthermore, both the first and second mounting brackets have specific structures and specific connection relationships, resulting in fewer mounting points and a reduced number of required accessories, which helps reduce product development costs. Since the mounting points are all located on the back of the display screen body, there is no need for an additional decorative cover, reducing installation space and minimizing the size chain, thus reducing manufacturing and assembly errors and the risk of abnormal noises. The overall aesthetics after assembly are high, which helps increase consumer purchasing desire.

[0007] As an optimization, in the aforementioned automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure, two second mounting brackets are spaced apart between the C-mounting part and the end of the mounting protrusion, and correspondingly, two locking blocks are spaced apart at the end of the mounting protrusion. This improves the connection strength between the C-mounting part, the mounting protrusion, and the second mounting brackets; moreover, the automotive instrument cluster display screen is welded and fixed to the dashboard crossbeam via two mounting brackets, resulting in higher installation stability.

[0008] As an optimization, in the aforementioned automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure, both ends of mounting part A are folded outwards to form flanges, making mounting part A U-shaped. Therefore, during assembly, mounting part A can be positioned by fitting it over the mounting protrusion, and then the mounting part A and the mounting protrusion are connected, thus preventing the position of mounting part A from shifting during assembly and ensuring assembly accuracy. Furthermore, an L-shaped mounting plate is connected to the edge of the flange, and the L-shaped mounting plate is fixedly connected to the display screen body. This further improves the connection strength between the first mounting bracket and the display screen body.

[0009] As an optimization, in the aforementioned automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure, a limiting plate is provided at each end of the back of the display screen body, located at the B mounting part. This allows for positioning using the two limiting plates: during installation, simply place the B mounting part between the two limiting plates and align its two ends with them, ensuring the mounting holes on the B mounting part coincide with the mounting holes on the display screen body. This eliminates the need for continuous adjustment of the B mounting part's position, making the operation more convenient.

[0010] As an optimization, in the aforementioned automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure, a guide lug is provided on the C mounting part at a position opposite to the second mounting bracket. The guide lug serves to guide the installation direction of the second mounting bracket during installation.

[0011] As an optimization, in the aforementioned automotive instrument cluster display mounting structure, reinforcing blocks are provided on both sides of the lower end of the snap-fit ​​block. This serves two purposes: firstly, it increases the strength of the snap-fit ​​block; secondly, it prevents the second mounting bracket from directly contacting the mounting protrusion and causing friction.

[0012] As an optimization, in the aforementioned automotive instrument cluster display mounting structure, there is an angle between the welded part and the second mounting bracket, which can be 120° to 150°. In this case, the welded part is tilted to facilitate welding the second mounting bracket to the dashboard crossbeam. Furthermore, the two sides of the second mounting bracket are folded inward to form reinforcing edges, enhancing the structural strength of the second mounting bracket.

[0013] As an optimization, in the aforementioned automotive instrument cluster display screen mounting structure, a locating pin is provided on each side of the mounting protrusion on the back of the display screen body. The locating pins are used to engage with locating holes on the instrument panel assembly to ensure the consistency of the installation position of the instrument cluster display screen within the instrument panel assembly.
