Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle interior design, specifically to a dashboard decorative panel assembly. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of the dashboard, the dashboard trim assembly has both decorative and functional attributes. It not only beautifies the cabin environment and enhances the overall visual effect, but also plays an important role in fixing other components and optimizing the interior space layout. As one of the integrated elements of the dashboard, the trim assembly works in conjunction with the instruments, ignition switch, etc. to form the core display and control area for driving information, intuitively reflecting the operating status of the vehicle's internal mechanical systems. At the same time, it is also an eye-catching decorative focal point in the cabin, fully embodying the perfect combination of technical practicality and artistic decoration.
[0003] Chinese patent CN212172123U discloses a dashboard trim panel assembly, including a trim panel body with a through groove in the middle and side panels on the sides. The side panels are designed on the trim panel body, with multiple ventilation slots for ventilation. They also include a container for holding fragrance, with air inlets on the side panels and air outlets on the container. When airflow passes through, the fragrance can be blown out, effectively improving the odor inside the car and improving the overall smell.
[0004] During use, once the aromatherapy diffuser is placed in the gas flow position, the aroma will inevitably be released with the airflow. It is impossible to stop the aroma from being released when it is not needed, making it difficult to adjust the flow of aromatherapy gas according to actual usage needs and unable to adapt to different usage environments. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a decorative panel assembly for an instrument panel. After the aromatherapy diffuser is fixed inside the storage box, the flowing gas can directly carry the aroma out upon contact with the diffuser. Correspondingly, twisting the first adjusting rod can simultaneously move the limiting frame and the limiting plate laterally. The limiting plate can be filled into the fourth exhaust hole through the first filling block, and the second filling block can be filled into the fourth exhaust hole through the first filling block. At this time, the suspended storage box will not affect the normal exhaust of the gas. After the fourth exhaust hole is filled, the aroma will not be allowed to flow out, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a decorative panel assembly for an instrument panel, comprising a metal plate, a fixing frame provided on one side of the metal plate, a first vent hole provided through the inner wall of the fixing frame, a storage box with a fourth vent hole provided in the middle of the interior of the fixing frame, the storage box being welded and fixed to the fixing frame by a first guide rod, a limiting frame with a third vent hole provided inside the storage box, a second filling block being welded to one side of the limiting frame, and a limiting plate with the first filling block provided between the storage box and the first vent hole.
[0007] Preferably, the first filling block is welded and fixed to the limiting plate, the first filling block and the second filling block both overlap with the fourth exhaust hole, and the first filling block and the second filling block are both connected to the fourth exhaust hole slot.
[0008] Preferably, a first adjusting rod is provided through the middle position on one side of the fixed frame.
[0009] Preferably, four first guide rods are provided, and the four first guide rods are respectively located at the four corners of the storage box. The outer side of the limiting plate is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first adjusting rod, and the four corners of the limiting plate are slidably disposed outside the first guide rods.
[0010] Preferably, the first adjusting rod passes through the storage box and is threadedly engaged with the storage box, and one end of the first adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the limiting frame.
[0011] Preferably, a second vent hole is provided through the interior of the limiting plate.
[0012] Preferably, a first mounting port is provided through the upper part of the inside of the storage box, a second mounting port is provided above the first mounting port, and a mounting handle is provided at the upper part of the outside of the second mounting port.
[0013] Preferably, a rubber ring is provided on the outer wall of the mounting handle corresponding to the positions of the second mounting port and the first mounting port.
[0014] Preferably, a clamping piece is provided at the lower end of the interior of the mounting handle, and a second adjusting rod is provided on one side of the clamping piece. The second adjusting rod is rotatably connected to one side of the clamping piece, and the outer wall of the second adjusting rod is threadedly engaged with the mounting handle.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] When the aromatherapy diffuser is inserted, it can be directly clamped by the clamping piece and fixed to the surface of the fixing frame after the installation handle is inserted. When disassembling and replacing the diffuser, the installation handle can be removed and the diffuser clamped can be taken out directly, which can facilitate efficient replacement and replenishment of the diffuser. On the other hand, after the diffuser is fixed inside the storage box, the flowing gas can directly carry the fragrance out after contacting the diffuser. Correspondingly, twisting the first adjusting rod can move the limiting frame and the limiting plate horizontally at the same time. The limiting plate can be filled into the fourth exhaust hole through the first filling block, and the second filling block can be filled into the fourth exhaust hole through the first filling block. At this time, the suspended storage box will not affect the normal discharge of gas. After the fourth exhaust hole is filled, the fragrance can be prevented from flowing out, and the gas can be discharged normally from the first exhaust hole. The position of the second filling block can be rotated and adjusted in different usage scenarios to adjust the filling state of the fourth exhaust hole. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a dashboard trim panel assembly of this embodiment includes a metal plate 1. A fixing frame 2 is provided on one side of the metal plate 1. A first exhaust hole 5 is provided through the inner wall of the fixing frame 2. After the metal plate 1 is installed, the fixing frame 2 covers the air vent of the car, and the gas discharged from the air vent can flow out directly through the first exhaust hole 5.
[0026] To facilitate the placement of the aromatherapy diffuser and allow the fragrance to flow out with the gas, a storage box 9 is suspended in the middle inside the fixed frame 2. A first guide rod 6 is provided on the side of the storage box 9 facing the first exhaust hole 5. There are four first guide rods 6, which are located at the four corners of the storage box 9. The two ends of the first guide rods 6 are welded and fixed to the storage box 9 and the fixed frame 2, respectively. The connection of the first guide rods 6 allows the storage box 9 to be suspended and stored inside the fixed frame 2. Storing it inside the fixed frame 2 facilitates the release of the fragrance and also helps to restrict the flow of fragrance without hindering the release of gas.
[0027] Furthermore, a first mounting port 16 is provided through the upper part of the interior of the storage box 9, and a second mounting port 18 is provided above the first mounting port 16, extending through and to the upper and lower ends of the fixing frame 2, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, an installation handle 3 is provided at the upper end of the second installation port 18. The installation handle 3 and the position of the first installation port 16 make it easy to insert and remove the aromatherapy.
[0028] It is worth mentioning that, in order to prevent the fragrance from flowing out from the first installation port 16 and the second installation port 18, a rubber ring 19 is provided on the outer wall of the installation handle 3 corresponding to the second installation port 18 and the first installation port 16. After the installation handle 3 drives the lower end of the fragrance to be installed, the rubber ring 19 can fill the gap between the installation handle 3 and the first installation port 16, and the rubber ring 19 can provide friction, which can improve the stability after installation.
[0029] In this embodiment, a clamping piece 15 is provided at the lower end of the inside of the mounting handle 3. The lateral movement of the clamping piece 15 can clamp the aromatherapy product. A second adjusting rod 14 is provided on one side of the clamping piece 15, and the second adjusting rod 14 is rotatably connected to one side of the clamping piece 15. The outer wall of the second adjusting rod 14 is threadedly engaged with the mounting handle 3. After the second adjusting rod 14 is rotated, the aromatherapy product can be clamped and disassembled, which facilitates the subsequent use of the aromatherapy product.
[0030] To facilitate the release of aromatherapy fragrance, the storage box 9 has a limiting frame 11 inside. When the aromatherapy is fixed, it can be stored inside the limiting frame 11. When restricting the flow of aromatherapy gas, the lateral movement of the limiting frame 11 can help restrict the flow of gas.
[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second filling block 13 is provided on one side of the limiting frame 11, and the second filling block 13 is welded and fixed to the limiting frame 11. A third exhaust hole 12 is provided on both sides inside the limiting frame 11. The third exhaust hole 12 and the second filling block 13 are alternately distributed. A fourth exhaust hole 17 is provided through both sides of the storage box 9. When the car exhaust position moves towards the fixed frame 2, the gas will pass through the fourth exhaust hole 17 and the third exhaust hole 12 and then come into contact with the aromatherapy. After contacting the aromatherapy, the gas will pass through the fourth exhaust hole 17, the third exhaust hole 12 and the first exhaust hole 5 again and then be discharged.
[0032] To limit the outflow of gas from the aromatherapy diffuser, a sheet-like limiting plate 7 is provided between the storage box 9 and the first exhaust port 5. A first filling block 10 is provided on the side of the limiting plate 7 facing the storage box 9, and the first filling block 10 is welded and fixed to the limiting plate 7. The first filling block 10 and the second filling block 13 both overlap with the fourth exhaust port 17, and the first filling block 10 and the second filling block 13 are both connected to the fourth exhaust port 17 through slots. After the first filling block 10 and the second filling block 13 move laterally, the first filling block 10 and the second filling block 13 can directly fill and restrict the gas flow of the fourth exhaust port 17. By directly restricting the fourth exhaust ports 17 on both sides, the position of the aromatherapy diffuser can be restricted, limiting the gas from contacting the aromatherapy diffuser.
[0033] It is worth mentioning that a first adjusting rod 4 is installed through the middle of one side of the fixed frame 2. When adjusting the outside of the limiting frame 11 and the limiting plate 7, the outside of the limiting plate 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first adjusting rod 4. The four corners of the limiting plate 7 are slidably installed outside the first guide rod 6. After the lateral movement of the first adjusting rod 4 and the limitation of the first guide rod 6, the limiting plate 7 can be directly driven to move laterally, so that the limiting plate 7 can drive the first filling block 10 to be inserted into the fourth vent hole 17. Correspondingly, the first adjusting rod 4 passes through the storage box 9 and is threadedly engaged with the storage box 9. Through the rotation of the first adjusting rod 4 and the threaded engagement, the first adjusting rod 4 can move laterally. One end of the first adjusting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the limiting frame 11. After the first adjusting rod 4 rotates, the first adjusting rod 4 and the storage box 9 are threadedly engaged to adjust the limiting frame 11 and the limiting plate 7 laterally, which can simultaneously drive the second filling block 13. The lateral movement of the second filling block 13 can fill and insert into the fourth vent hole 17.
[0034] In order to prevent the gas transmission from being obstructed when the limiting plate 7 is not filled with the fourth vent hole 17, a second vent hole 8 is provided through the interior of the limiting plate 7, and the second vent hole 8 overlaps with the third vent hole 12. When the limiting plate 7 is not filled with the fourth vent hole 17, the gas flowing out from the fourth vent hole 17 is discharged at the second vent hole 8.
[0035] To make the lateral movement of the clamping piece 15 more stable, such as Figure 6 As shown, movable holes 21 are provided at both ends of the rotational connection position between the second adjusting rod 14 and the clamping piece 15. The movable holes 21 extend through and to the inner and outer ends of the mounting handle 3. A second guide rod 20 is provided inside the movable hole 21, and the outside of the second guide rod 20 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable hole 21. The second guide rod 20 is welded and fixed to the clamping piece 15. The second adjusting rod 14 is threadedly engaged with the mounting handle 3 and moves relative to the mounting handle 3. The second guide rod 20 is restricted by the movable hole 21. After being restricted by the second guide rod 20, the clamping piece 15 can be moved laterally, so as to achieve stable clamping and release of aromatherapy.
[0036] Working principle: When using the device and placing the aromatherapy diffuser, twisting the second adjusting rod 14 and restricting it through the second guide rod 20 causes the clamping piece 15 to slide laterally within the mounting handle 3. The lateral sliding of the second filling block 13 clamps the aromatherapy diffuser. The mounting handle 3 drives the lower end of the aromatherapy diffuser into the second mounting port 18. The lower end of the mounting handle 3 is embedded into the first mounting port 16. The car air conditioning vent blows air into the storage box 9, and the gas flows into the storage box 9 through the fourth exhaust port 17 on one side. The gas flowing into the storage box 9 passes through the third exhaust port 12 on one side and comes into contact with the aromatherapy diffuser, causing the fragrance to escape from the third exhaust port 12 and the fourth exhaust port on the other side. The gas flows out from position 17 and eventually the aroma and gas are discharged from position 5. When it is necessary to restrict the flow of aroma without hindering the discharge of gas, the first adjusting rod 4 is turned. The rotation of the first adjusting rod 4 is threaded into the middle position on the other side of the storage box 9. After the rotation of the first adjusting rod 4 is restricted, it can drive the limiting plate 7 and the limiting frame 11 laterally. The limiting frame 11 allows the second filling block 13 to be inserted into the fourth exhaust hole 17 on one side. At the same time, the limiting plate 7 allows the first filling block 10 to be inserted into the fourth exhaust hole 17 on the other side, sealing the gas flow and contact with the aroma position, so that the gas flowing into the fixed frame 2 is directly discharged from position 5.
