[0036] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0037] The following is a reference appendix. Figure 1-12 Description of the front panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The front panel 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a first panel 10, a second panel 20 and a third panel 30.
[0039] The first plate 10 has a first main plate portion 11 and a first sub-plate portion 12 connected to the right side of the first main plate portion 11; the second plate 20 is in the same thickness direction as the first plate 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 The first plate 10 and the second plate 20 are stacked in the front-back direction shown. The second plate 20 has a second main plate portion 21 and a second sub-plate portion 22 connected to the right side of the second main plate portion 21. The third plate 30 is located to the left of the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 (as shown in the front-back direction). Figure 1 The first plate 10 and the second plate 20 shown are on the left side, and are connected to the first plate 10 and the second plate 20; wherein the first plate 10, the second plate 20 and the third plate 30 are connected to form the front bulkhead 100 of the left-hand drive vehicle, and the first main plate 11, the second main plate 21 and the third plate 30 are adapted to be combined to form the front bulkhead 100 of the right-hand drive vehicle.
[0040] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first main plate 11 and the first sub-plate 12 are arranged and connected in the left-right direction. The first sub-plate 12 is located to the right of the first main plate 11. The second plate 20 is located in front of the first plate 10. The second sub-plate 22 of the second plate 20 is located to the right of the second main plate 21. The third plate 30 is located to the left of the first plate 10 and the second plate 20 and is connected to both the first plate 10 and the second plate 20. The first plate 10, the second plate 20 and the third plate 30 constitute the front bulkhead 100 of the left-hand drive vehicle. After separating the first main plate 11 and the first sub-plate 12 of the first plate 10, and after separating the second main plate 21 and the second sub-plate 22 of the second plate 20, the first main plate 11, the second main plate 21 and the third plate 30 constitute the front bulkhead 100 of the right-hand drive vehicle.
[0041] The front bulkhead 100 of this utility model comprises a first plate 10 and a second plate 20. The first plate 10, the second plate 20, and the third plate 30 can together form a left-hand drive vehicle front bulkhead 100, ensuring that the front bulkhead 100 can meet the production needs of the main left-hand drive vehicle models. Furthermore, after processing the first plate 10 and the second plate 20, the first main plate portion 11, the second main plate portion 21, and the third plate 30 can together form a right-hand drive vehicle front bulkhead 100, effectively improving the versatility of the front bulkhead 100 and making it compatible with both left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles. This eliminates the need to produce a separate front bulkhead 100 for right-hand drive vehicles, thereby reducing production costs for both types of vehicles. Moreover, the elimination of the need for separate molds for right-hand drive vehicles reduces the number of molds required, effectively lowering vehicle production costs.
[0042] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the front bulkhead 100 is provided with a first plate 10 and a second plate 20, which can ensure that the front bulkhead 100 can meet the production needs of the main left-hand drive vehicle models. At the same time, the first main plate 11, the second main plate 21 and the third plate 30 can constitute the front bulkhead 100 of the right-hand drive vehicle, so that it is not necessary to produce the front bulkhead 100 separately for the right-hand drive vehicle models, thereby reducing the production cost of the two models.
[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side of the first main board 11 facing the first sub-board 12 (e.g.) Figure 4 The right side of the first main panel 11 shown is provided with an overlapping plate 13, which overlaps and connects with the second panel 20. This increases the number of connection points between the first panel 10 and the second panel 20, strengthens the connection between the first panel 10 and the second panel 20, effectively prevents the first panel 10 and the second panel 20 from separating, and thus ensures the structural strength of the front panel 100.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the overlapping plate 13 is located on the right side of the first main plate 11, and the overlapping plate 13 is connected to the second plate 20.
[0045] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first main board section 11 is provided with an installation port 111 for installing an air conditioner, and the first sub-board section 12 is provided with a wiring hole 121 for passing wire harnesses. A connecting plate 13 is located between the installation port 111 and the wiring hole 121. Therefore, the connecting plate 13 is positioned appropriately, facilitating the connection between the first board 10 and the second board 20 without affecting the separation of the first main board section 11 and the second sub-board section 22. Furthermore, the installation port 111 is positioned appropriately, facilitating the installation of the air conditioner, and the wiring hole 121 is positioned appropriately, facilitating the passage of wire harnesses from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first main board 11 has a rectangular mounting opening 111, the first sub-board 12 has four circular wire holes 121, and the overlapping plate 13 is located between the mounting opening 111 and the wire holes 121.
[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The overlapping plate 13 includes a protrusion 131, which extends along the thickness direction of the second main plate portion 21 (e.g., Figure 3 The second main board portion 21 shown protrudes away from the second main board portion 21 in the front-rear direction. There are multiple protrusions 131, meaning there can be two, three, four, or more protrusions 131. These multiple protrusions 131 extend along the vertical direction of the vehicle (e.g., in the front-rear direction). Figure 3 Arranged at intervals in the vertical direction as shown.
[0048] In this way, the protrusions 131 can strengthen the structural strength of the lap plate 13, ensure that the lap plate 13 can be evenly stressed, improve the bending stiffness of the lap plate 13, and effectively reduce deformation under stress. At the same time, the multiple protrusions 131 work together to effectively ensure the strength of the lap plate 13 and prevent damage to the lap plate 13.
[0049] For example, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the overlapping plate 13 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 131, which protrude backward. The number of protrusions 131 is multiple, and the multiple protrusions 131 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction.
[0050] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The mounting plate 40 for mounting a brake pedal on a right-hand drive vehicle is adapted to be clamped between the second plate 20 and the plurality of protrusions 131. Right-hand drive vehicles require a mounting position for the brake pedal; therefore, the mounting plate 40 provides this position, facilitating its installation. Furthermore, the reasonable mounting position of the mounting plate 40 effectively ensures the structural strength of the mounting plate 40, the second plate 20, and the overlapping plate 13, effectively preventing separation of the mounting plate 40 from these components.
[0051] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The height of the protrusion 131, which is away from the second main plate portion 21 along the thickness direction of the overlapping plate 13, is greater than or equal to the thickness of the mounting plate 40. This ensures that the mounting plate 40 can be properly installed between the protrusion 131 and the second main plate portion 21, effectively reducing the installation difficulty of the mounting plate 40.
[0052] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 11 The second sub-plate 22 is located at the lower right corner of the second plate 20. Therefore, when the front bulkhead 100 is applied to a right-hand drive vehicle, the second sub-plate 22 interferes with the steering column. After separating the second sub-plate 22 from the second main plate 21, it can be ensured that the front bulkhead 100 can be properly installed on the right-hand drive vehicle, thus ensuring the rationality of the position of the second sub-plate 22.
[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The left edge of the first plate 10 (e.g.) Figure 4 The left edge of the first plate 10 and the left edge of the second plate 20 (as shown) Figure 5 The left edge of the second plate 20 shown is flush with the front-rear direction of the vehicle. This allows the right edge of the third plate 30 to be easily connected to the first plate 10 and the second plate 20, thereby effectively improving the assembly efficiency of the front bulkhead 100 and saving assembly time.
[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The third plate 30 is provided with a through hole 31 suitable for the steering column to pass through. Thus, when the front bulkhead 100 is used in a left-hand drive vehicle, the third plate 30 is located on the left side of the front bulkhead 100, so that the steering column can be easily extended into the passenger compartment through the through hole 31.
[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 12As shown, the third plate 30 is provided with a wire-passing hole 121 for threading wire harnesses. Thus, when the front bulkhead 100 is used in a right-hand drive vehicle, the third plate 30 is located on the left side of the front bulkhead 100, which allows the wire harnesses to be easily threaded through the through hole 31 into the passenger compartment.
[0056] The vehicle according to the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 This includes the front bulkhead 100 of the first aspect of this embodiment.
[0057] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by setting the front bulkhead 100 of the first aspect embodiment above, and setting the first plate 10 and the second plate 20, the front bulkhead 100 can meet the production needs of the main left-hand drive vehicle. At the same time, the first main plate 11, the second main plate 21 and the third plate 30 can constitute the front bulkhead 100 of the right-hand drive vehicle, so that it is not necessary to produce the front bulkhead 100 separately for the right-hand drive vehicle, thereby reducing the production cost of the two types of vehicles.
