Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior structure, specifically to a connection structure between an automotive sub-instrument panel and a handbrake trim piece. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive sub-instrument panel (also known as the "center console" or "central tunnel") is a component located between the front seats, connecting the main instrument panel and the center armrest area. It typically integrates multiple functional modules and is a crucial functional and visual core area in interior design. The sub-instrument panel has a gear shifter mounting slot and a handbrake slot, used for installing the handbrake and gear shift lever, respectively. Currently, to avoid exposed sheet metal on the back of the handbrake after assembly, which affects the overall aesthetics of the interior, some manufacturers install a handbrake trim piece in the handbrake slot during sub-instrument panel production to cover the rear of the handbrake. However, the installation space between the sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim piece is small, lacking sufficient space for a welded structure to prevent severe shrinkage on the sub-instrument panel surface. Currently, sub-instrument panels on the market can only accommodate a 1.5mm weld post on the back. Due to the small size of the weld post, the weld between the sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim piece is not strong enough, leading to the problem of the handbrake trim piece detaching, resulting in a high scrap rate for the entire sub-instrument panel assembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a connection structure between a car's sub-instrument panel and a handbrake trim piece, overcoming the aforementioned problems in the prior art. In this connection structure, the handbrake trim piece is connected to the sub-instrument panel via three sides. Each of the three sides has welding holes that weld to welding posts on the sub-instrument panel, securing the handbrake trim piece firmly to the sub-instrument panel. Furthermore, a cross-shaped welding rib is provided on the sub-instrument panel, which welds to the welding holes on the shorter sides, further enhancing the connection strength between the handbrake trim piece and the sub-instrument panel, reducing the risk of the handbrake trim piece detaching, and preventing shrinkage marks on the surface of the sub-instrument panel.

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

[0005] A connection structure between a car's sub-dashboard and a handbrake trim piece includes a sub-dashboard; a handbrake groove is provided on the sub-dashboard for installing a handbrake; a handbrake trim piece is installed in the handbrake groove; the handbrake trim piece includes a trim piece body; the trim piece body is U-shaped, with two long sides and one short side at its edge that connect to the sub-dashboard; welding holes A are provided on both the long and short sides, and correspondingly, welding posts are provided on the sub-dashboard; welding holes B are also provided on the short side, and correspondingly, cross welding ribs are provided on the sub-dashboard; the welding posts and cross welding ribs are welded to the welding holes A and B respectively, thereby fixing the handbrake trim piece to the sub-dashboard.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, in the connection structure of the automotive sub-instrument panel and handbrake trim of this utility model, the handbrake trim is U-shaped and connected to the sub-instrument panel through three sides. Each of the three sides has welding holes that weld to welding posts on the sub-instrument panel, thus fixing the handbrake trim to the sub-instrument panel with high connection strength. Furthermore, a cross-shaped welding rib is provided on the sub-instrument panel and welded to welding holes on the short sides, further improving the connection strength between the handbrake trim and the sub-instrument panel, reducing the risk of the handbrake trim falling off, and also preventing shrinkage marks on the surface of the sub-instrument panel.

[0007] As an optimization, in the connection structure between the automotive sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim, a snap-fit ​​plate is provided on the inner side of the welding pillar on the sub-instrument panel. Correspondingly, snap-fit ​​grooves for inserting the snap-fit ​​plate are provided on the long and short sides. In this case, the inner and outer sides of the long and short sides are restricted by the welding pillar and the snap-fit ​​plate respectively, thereby further improving the connection strength between the sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim. Specifically, the long side has 3 A welding holes and 3 snap-fit ​​grooves, with the A welding holes and snap-fit ​​grooves distributed alternately; the short side has 1 A welding hole, 2 B welding holes, and 1 snap-fit ​​groove. Furthermore, the distance between the snap-fit ​​groove and the trim body can be 2-4 mm. In this case, the snap-fit ​​plate is very close to the trim body and will not interfere with other parts.

[0008] As an optimization, in the connection structure between the automotive sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim, the bottom of the welding column is provided with a welding seat; the lower side of the snap-fit ​​plate is provided with a support rib; and the lower end of the cross welding rib is provided with a support plate. The welding seat, support rib, and support plate facilitate fixing to the sub-instrument panel. Therefore, when the handbrake trim is assembled onto the sub-instrument panel, after the welding column, snap-fit ​​plate, and cross welding rib are inserted into the corresponding holes, the welding seat, support rib, and support plate will be located above the side of the handbrake trim; that is, the connection part does not need to be completely embedded in the hole, facilitating the later disassembly and assembly of the handbrake trim.

[0009] Furthermore, a set of reinforcing blocks are spaced apart at the top of the welding seat along the circumference of the welding column. This improves the strength of the welding seat; moreover, the design of the reinforcing blocks prevents the welding seat from directly contacting the side of the handbrake decorative part, thus preventing the welding seat from breaking due to excessive force applied by the worker during assembly.

[0010] As an optimization, in the aforementioned connection structure between the vehicle's sub-dashboard and the handbrake trim, a set of L-shaped reinforcing ribs are spaced apart on the outer peripheral surface of the handbrake trim. This improves the structural strength of the handbrake trim.

[0011] As an optimization, in the aforementioned connection structure between the automotive sub-dashboard and the handbrake trim, a limiting plate is provided on the sub-dashboard, located on the front side of the end of the handbrake trim; a positioning plate is provided below the limiting plate, and correspondingly, a positioning groove is provided at the end of the handbrake trim. Thus, the handbrake trim can be installed through the cooperation of the positioning plate and the positioning groove, making installation more convenient; moreover, after installation, the limiting plate limits the handbrake trim, ensuring its installation position.

[0012] As an optimization, in the aforementioned connection structure between the automotive sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim, the sub-instrument panel is integrally injection molded from PP material, and the handbrake trim is integrally injection molded from soft rubber material. This simplifies the manufacturing process and makes it easier to implement. Furthermore, PP material has low density, good heat resistance, and good dimensional stability, resulting in a lighter overall weight for the sub-instrument panel and the ability to withstand high temperatures in summer. The soft rubber material absorbs the mechanical impact during the handbrake's operation, reducing clicking noise, and also prevents the handbrake trim from colliding with surrounding hard components, thus avoiding abnormal noise. Moreover, it has good wear resistance and is less prone to scratches over long-term use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0024] To overcome the problem of low welding strength between the sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim in the prior art, this application provides a connection structure between the automotive sub-instrument panel and the handbrake trim. By setting welding posts 11 on the sub-instrument panel 1, which are welded to the corresponding A welding holes 201 on the three sides of the handbrake trim 2, and simultaneously setting cross welding ribs 12 on the sub-instrument panel 1, which are welded to the corresponding B welding holes 202 on the short side 23 of the handbrake trim 2, the welding strength between the handbrake trim 2 and the sub-instrument panel 1 is ensured, and no surface shrinkage marks are produced on the product surface. The surface difference and gap meet DTS requirements. The specific structure is as follows.

[0025] Example:

[0026] See Figures 1 to 5The connection structure between the vehicle's sub-dashboard and handbrake trim in this embodiment includes a sub-dashboard 1; the sub-dashboard 1 has a handbrake groove 101 and a gear shifter mounting groove 102, which are used to install the handbrake and the gear shifter, respectively; a handbrake trim 2 is installed in the handbrake groove 101; the handbrake trim 2 includes a trim body 21; the trim body 21 is U-shaped, and the opening size of the trim body 21 is adapted to the groove size of the handbrake groove 101; the edge of the trim body 21 is provided with... The sub-instrument panel 1 has two long side panels 22 and one short side panel 23 connected to it; both the long side panels 22 and the short side panel 23 have A welding holes 201, and correspondingly, the sub-instrument panel 1 has welding pillars 11; the short side panel 23 also has B welding holes 202, and correspondingly, the sub-instrument panel 1 has cross welding ribs 12; the welding pillars 11 and cross welding ribs 12 are welded to the A welding holes 201 and B welding holes 202 respectively, thereby fixing the handbrake trim piece 2 to the sub-instrument panel 1.

[0027] See Figure 6 In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​plate 13 is also provided on the inner side of the welding column 11 on the sub-instrument panel 1. Correspondingly, snap-fit ​​grooves 203 for inserting the snap-fit ​​plate 13 are provided on the long side 22 and the short side 23, respectively. At this time, the inner and outer sides of the long side 22 and the short side 23 are restricted by the welding column 11 and the snap-fit ​​plate 13, respectively, thereby further improving the connection firmness between the sub-instrument panel 1 and the handbrake trim 2. Specifically, the long side 22 is provided with 3 A welding holes 201 and 3 snap-fit ​​grooves 203, and the A welding holes 201 and snap-fit ​​grooves 203 are distributed alternately; the short side 23 is provided with 1 A welding hole 201, 2 B welding holes 202 and 1 snap-fit ​​groove 203. Further, the distance between the snap-fit ​​groove 203 and the trim body 21 is 2mm. At this time, the snap-fit ​​plate 13 is very close to the trim body 21 and will not interfere with other parts.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bottom of the welding column 11 is provided with a welding seat 14 (for ease of installation, the part on the long side 22 corresponding to the welding seat 14 is designed in an L-shape); the lower end of the side of the snap-fit ​​plate 13 is provided with a support rib 15; the lower end of the cross welding rib 12 is provided with a support plate 16; the welding seat 14, the support rib 15, and the support plate 16 are respectively fixed to the sub-instrument panel 1. Thus, when the handbrake trim 2 is assembled onto the sub-instrument panel 1, after the welding column 11, the snap-fit ​​plate 13, and the cross welding rib 12 are snapped into the corresponding holes, the welding seat 14, the support rib 15, and the support plate 16 will be located above the side of the handbrake trim 2; that is, the connection part does not need to be completely embedded in the hole, which facilitates the later disassembly and assembly of the handbrake trim 2.

[0029] Furthermore, a set of reinforcing blocks 17 are provided at intervals along the circumference of the welding column 11 on the top of the welding seat 14. This can improve the strength of the welding seat 14; and the design of the reinforcing blocks 17 prevents the welding seat 14 from directly contacting the side of the handbrake decorative part 2, thereby preventing the welding seat 14 from breaking due to excessive force applied by the workers during assembly.

[0030] In this embodiment, a set of L-shaped reinforcing ribs 24 are spaced apart on the outer peripheral surface of the handbrake decorative component 2. This improves the structural strength of the handbrake decorative component 2.

Thus, the handbrake decorative piece 2 can be installed through the cooperation of the positioning plate 19 and the positioning groove 204, making installation relatively convenient; moreover, after installation, the limiting plate 18 limits the position of the handbrake decorative piece 2, ensuring its proper installation position.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sub-instrument panel 1 is integrally injection molded from PP material, and the handbrake trim 2 is integrally injection molded from soft rubber material (e.g., TPE).
