Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrument panel frame disassembly and assembly technology, and in particular to an automotive instrument panel frame. Background Technology

[0002] Instrument frames are typically installed and secured using bolts, clips, or ultrasonic welding.

[0003] Chinese patent application number 201922496452.4 discloses an easy-to-install automotive smart instrument panel, including a transparent faceplate, a front frame (instrument panel frame) and a bottom cover. The bottom cover and the front frame are fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, and the transparent faceplate and the front frame are fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0004] In the above solution, the bottom cover and the front frame are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. However, in order to ensure the aesthetics of the car, the entire instrument panel is embedded inside the car, making the snap-fit ​​structure between the front frame and the bottom cover invisible and inaccessible. Therefore, when the front frame needs to be removed for instrument panel repair, it is usually opened by force, which poses a risk of damaging the snap-fit, making it impossible for the front frame and the bottom cover to be fastened together again. This would require replacing the entire instrument panel, increasing repair costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the drawback of existing technologies where the snap-fit ​​structure is located inside the vehicle, leading to the need for forceful opening during disassembly of the front frame. This can damage the snap-fit, preventing the front frame and bottom cover from being reassembled. The invention provides a vehicle instrument panel frame that is easy to disassemble and reassemble, reduces the risk of damaging the snap-fit, and extends its service life.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0007] An automotive instrument panel frame includes a frame and a buckle disposed on the frame. A pull structure for causing the buckle to elastically retract and unlock, and a retaining structure for keeping the buckle in an unlocked state are disposed between the buckle and the frame.

[0008] Using the above solution, when disassembly is required, the pull structure drives the buckle to elastically deform and retract to unlock it, while the retaining structure keeps the buckle in the unlocked state, allowing the frame to be removed directly. During installation, the retaining structure is released and the force applied to the buckle by the pull structure is removed, allowing the buckle to elastically return to its original position, and then the frame can be directly fastened. This eliminates the need for forceful disassembly, significantly reducing damage to the buckle and allowing the frame and buckle to be reused multiple times.

[0009] Preferably, the traction structure includes a drive block that is movable within the frame, a moving groove within the frame for the drive block to move, and a traction rope whose two ends are respectively connected to the drive block and the buckle, and the structure is positioned between the drive block and the frame.

[0010] Using the above scheme, an external force drives the drive block to descend and generate displacement. The displacement is then transmitted to the buckle through a pull rope, causing the buckle to elastically retract and deform until it is unlocked. This keeps the structure restricting the drive block from rising, thus keeping the buckle in an unlocked state with elastic retraction deformation.

[0011] Preferably, the retaining structure includes a magnet fixedly disposed at the bottom of the moving groove and an iron sheet that can be magnetically attracted by the magnet fixedly disposed on the side of the drive block near the magnet.

[0012] Using the above scheme, before the drive block descends, there is a large gap between the magnet and the iron plate. The iron plate is not subjected to magnetic attraction or the magnetic attraction is small, which is insufficient to drive the drive block to descend. When the drive block descends under the action of external force, the gap between the magnet and the iron plate gradually decreases, and the magnetic attraction increases significantly. By selecting a suitable magnet, it can be ensured that when the drive block descends to the point of causing the buckle to elastically retract and unlock, the magnetic attraction between the magnet and the iron plate is greater than the buckle's restoring elastic force, thus maintaining the buckle's elastic retraction deformation unlock state.

[0013] Preferably, there is damping between the drive block and the moving slot, which allows the drive block to move relative to the moving slot only when the force applied to the drive block exceeds a preset driving force.

[0014] By adopting the above scheme, it is ensured that the drive block will not fall unexpectedly without the application of external force.

[0015] Preferably, the outer ring wall of the drive block is concentrically recessed with an annular groove, and the annular groove and the inner wall of the moving groove cooperate to form a receiving cavity for accommodating the traction rope.

[0016] With the above solution, since there needs to be damping between the drive block and the moving groove, the two need to fit together. The traction rope is squeezed between the two, which increases the risk of wear and breakage. Therefore, there is a cavity between the drive block and the moving groove, which allows one end of the traction rope to be inserted and moved, reducing damage to the traction rope.

[0017] Preferably, several sets of buckles, traction structures, and retaining structures are provided at intervals along the circumference of the frame.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, several sets of snap-fit ​​structures are set up to ensure the snap-fit ​​strength of the frame. Each snap-fit ​​can be kept in the unlocked state by a matching traction structure and retaining structure, ensuring that the frame can be easily removed in the end.

[0019] Preferably, when the buckle extends and returns to its original position, the upper surface of the drive block is flush with the upper surface of the frame.

[0020] Using the above solution, the upper surface of the drive block is flush with the upper surface of the frame, ensuring aesthetics.

[0021] This invention, employing the above technical solution, achieves significant technical advantages: When disassembly is required, pressing the drive block lowers it until the magnet and iron plate adhere and magnetically attract each other. A pulling rope then causes the latches to elastically deform and retract, unlocking them and maintaining the unlocked state. After several latches unlock sequentially, the frame can be directly removed. After removing the frame, external force is applied to the latches to overcome the damping between the drive block and the moving groove, as well as the magnetic attraction between the iron plate and the magnet, causing the latches to elastically return to their original position. The pulling rope then causes the drive block to rise until its upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the frame, completing the frame's restoration. Reinstallation of the frame involves normal snap-fit ​​engagement. No forceful disassembly is required, significantly reducing damage to the latches and allowing the frame and latches to be reused multiple times, extending their service life and reducing maintenance costs.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] Example

[0030] A car dashboard frame, reference Figures 1 to 5 The system includes a frame 1 and buckles 2 vertically protruding from the bottom of the frame 1. Several buckles 2 are spaced apart along the circumference of the frame 1; in this embodiment, six buckles 2 are provided, with their horizontal sections facing away from each other. Therefore, by driving the six buckles 2 closer together to deform, the buckles 2 can be elastically deformed and retracted to unlock. Each buckle 2 and the frame 1 are provided with a pulling structure to drive the buckle 2 to elastically retract and unlock, and a retaining structure to maintain the unlocked state of the buckle 2.

[0031] The tensioning structure includes a downwardly recessed moving groove 4 on the upper end of the frame 1. A driving block 3 is guided and moved within the moving groove 4. The outer ring wall of the driving block 3 is concentrically recessed with an annular groove. The annular groove and the inner wall of the moving groove 4 cooperate to form a receiving cavity 8. There is damping between the outer ring wall of the driving block 3 without the annular groove and the inner wall of the moving groove 4. In this embodiment, damping is generated by covering the outer ring wall of the driving block 3 with a rubber layer. The rubber layer and the way the rubber layer is set are existing technologies and are not shown in the figure, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0032] A pull rope 5 is provided between the drive block 3 and the latch 2. One end of the pull rope 5 passes through the frame 1 and is inserted into the receiving cavity 8 and fixedly connected to the drive block 3. The other end is located outside the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the latch 2. During the reciprocating movement of the drive block 3, the part of the pull rope 5 located in the moving groove 4 is always within the receiving cavity 8. When the latch 2 is not retracted and deformed, the upper surface of the drive block 3 is flush with the upper surface of the frame 1, and the pull rope 5 is in a taut state.

[0033] The retaining structure includes a magnet 6 fixedly installed at the bottom of the moving groove 4, and an iron sheet 7 that can be magnetically attracted by the magnet 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the driving block 3 near the magnet 6.

[0034] When disassembly is required, press the drive block 3 to move it close to the magnet 6 until the magnet 6 and the iron piece 7 are attached and magnetically attracted. Use the pull rope 5 to drive the buckle 2 to elastically deform and retract to unlock and keep it unlocked. After several buckles 2 are unlocked in sequence, the frame 1 can be removed directly.

[0035] After removing the frame 1, external force is applied to the buckle 2 to drive it back to its original position. The pull rope 5 drives the drive block 3 to rise until its upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the frame 1, thus completing the restoration of the frame 1. When reinstalling the frame 1, it can be directly snapped together normally.
