Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric vehicle dashboard housings, specifically an electric vehicle dashboard housing that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] An electric vehicle dashboard housing refers to the casing installed on the dashboard of an electric vehicle. Its primary function is to protect the internal instruments and display devices, while also providing some waterproofing and dustproofing. It is typically made of plastic or other durable materials and designed to fit the dashboard perfectly, ensuring it doesn't obstruct vision or operation. Electric vehicle dashboard housings are mostly made of plastic or transparent materials, possessing wear-resistant and scratch-resistant properties. Installation is usually simple; it's simply screwed onto the dashboard without any other complicated tools. If the dashboard housing ages or is damaged, its function and appearance can be restored by replacing it. The replacement process is relatively simple, usually requiring only the removal of the old housing and the installation of the new one. The primary function of the electric vehicle dashboard housing is protection. The dashboard contains many sensitive electronic components and displays; if these components are directly exposed, they are easily damaged. The plastic casing acts as a barrier, isolating these fragile components from the outside world, preventing damage from dust, moisture, and even accidental impacts. Besides its protective function, the electric vehicle dashboard housing also greatly enhances the aesthetics of the electric vehicle.

[0003] As per application number CN202322200962.9, this utility model discloses a replaceable dashboard housing, relating to the field of automotive parts. It includes a transparent housing with a mounting groove on its side wall and a first notch (two sets) on its upper surface. A second notch (two sets) is also provided on the side wall. A limiting mechanism is installed within the mounting groove. This limiting mechanism includes an airbag tube, a first pair of interfaces, a first sealing cap, an exhaust pipe, a first elbow, and a second pair of interfaces. The airbag tube is connected to the mounting groove and has the first and second pairs of interfaces. The first pair of interfaces is connected to the exhaust pipe, with the first sealing cap connected to its upper end. The second pair of interfaces is connected to an air injection mechanism. During use, the first sealing cap can be loosened, allowing the gas inside the airbag tube to escape, thus releasing the transparent housing and facilitating user disassembly.

[0004] The above applications currently have the following shortcomings:

[0005] The need for auxiliary tools to disassemble and assemble the outer casing complicates the assembly process and reduces work efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed an easy-to-install electric vehicle dashboard housing in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-install electric vehicle dashboard housing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-install electric vehicle dashboard housing, comprising a dashboard housing chassis and an internal cavity, wherein screw holes are provided around the periphery of the dashboard housing chassis, and mounting pieces are fixed at the front and rear four corners of the dashboard housing chassis, and a housing cover is provided at the upper end of the dashboard housing chassis, and the internal cavity is provided on the left and right sides of the housing cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the shape of the outer casing matches the shape of the instrument panel housing chassis, and the outer diameter of the outer casing is smaller than the inner diameter of the instrument panel housing chassis.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the screw cavity is provided with an internal thread, and the inner wall of the cavity is provided with a removable instrument cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the internal cavities are symmetrically distributed about the center of the outer shell, and the internal cavities are circular.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the detachable instrument cover is provided with external threads, and a waterproof sealing ring is provided on the inner bottom side of the detachable instrument cover.

[0013] Furthermore, four pieces of non-residual adhesive tape are provided on the bottom of the instrument panel housing chassis.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model facilitates the positioning of the instrument panel housing chassis through screw holes and mounting pieces. The screw connection is quick and easy, making installation convenient for workers. The internal thread of the built-in cavity and the external thread of the detachable instrument cover can form a threaded connection, facilitating the assembly of the detachable instrument cover and enabling maintenance of the instruments inside. The waterproof sealing ring on the inner bottom of the detachable instrument cover greatly improves its waterproofness, preventing water and other liquids from entering the interior and effectively preventing damage to the instruments inside. The traceless adhesive tape provides initial positioning for the instrument panel housing chassis, preventing misalignment during installation and improving installation efficiency.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an easy-to-install electric vehicle dashboard housing includes a dashboard housing base 1 and an internal cavity 5. The dashboard housing base 1 has screw holes 2 around its perimeter, and mounting pieces 3 are fixed to the front and rear four corners of the dashboard housing base 1. A housing cover 4 is mounted on the upper end of the dashboard housing base 1. The internal cavity 5 is located on the left and right sides of the housing cover 4. The shape of the housing cover 4 matches the shape of the dashboard housing base 1, and the outer diameter of the housing cover 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the dashboard housing base 1. Internal threads 8 are provided on the inner wall of the internal cavity 5, and a removable instrument cover 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the internal cavity 5. The internal cavities 5 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the housing cover 4 and are circular. External threads 9 are provided on the outer wall of the removable instrument cover 6, and a waterproof sealing ring 10 is mounted on the inner bottom side of the removable instrument cover 6. A [missing information - likely a design element] is provided at the bottom of the dashboard housing base 1. The traceless adhesive tape 7, of which four are provided, facilitates positioning of the instrument panel housing base 1 via screw holes 2 and mounting pieces 3. The screw connection is quick and easy, simplifying installation. The internal thread 8 of the built-in cavity 5 and the external thread 9 of the removable instrument cover 6 form a threaded connection, facilitating assembly and maintenance of the instruments inside. The waterproof sealing ring 10 on the inner bottom of the removable instrument cover 6 significantly improves its waterproofness, preventing water and other liquids from entering and damaging the instruments inside. The traceless adhesive tape 7 provides initial positioning for the instrument panel housing base 1, preventing misalignment during installation and improving installation efficiency.
