Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift technology, and in particular to the dashboard mounting assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional instrument racks typically use a single-layer thick plate structure, which is simple but has three main problems: 1. The single-layer plate is too heavy, making transportation difficult. Since the instrument rack is located at the front of the forklift, its excessive weight does not align with the vehicle's lightweight design. 2. The single-layer plate design exposes all the bolts for mounting accessories, which is unsightly. 3. The thick single-layer plate makes forming difficult, resulting in a lack of aesthetic appeal at the front. Traditional instrument rack structures, with their numerous exposed bolts, lack of design appeal, and high cost, suffer from these drawbacks. To address these issues, a new instrument rack mounting assembly has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose an instrument panel mounting assembly that achieves a lightweight design, is aesthetically pleasing, and reduces the difficulty of die-casting manufacturing.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 The instrument panel mounting assembly includes a roof guard assembly 1-1. The side wall of the roof guard assembly 1-1 is equipped with an instrument panel assembly 1-7. The side wall of the instrument panel assembly 1-7 is equipped with a valve control assembly 1-2, a foot brake assembly 1-3, a handbrake assembly 1-4, a steering wheel assembly 1-6, and an instrument panel 1-5. The instrument panel 1-5 has a complex structure and multiple functions. It has a brake fluid reservoir cap, a handbrake opening, an instrument panel opening, a panel switch, a valve control notch, a steering column, etc. In addition, the appearance of the instrument panel 1-5 is also better.

[0026] The instrument panel assembly 1-7 consists of a front panel body 1-7-1 and a rear panel assembly 1-7-2. Multiple welded brackets 1-7-3 are fixed to the side walls of the front panel body 1-7-1 and the rear panel assembly 1-7-2 respectively. The first nut group 1-7-4, the second nut group 1-7-5 and the third nut group 1-7-6 are welded and fixed to the opposite side of the rear panel assembly 1-7-2 and the front panel body 1-7-1.

[0027] The rear panel assembly 1-7-2 includes a rear panel body 1-7-2-1. A steering bracket 1-7-2-3 for assembling a steering wheel assembly 1-6 is welded and fixed to the side wall of the rear panel body 1-7-2-1. Assembly holes 1-7-2-2 are opened on the side wall of the rear panel body 1-7-2-1 at the welding positions of the first nut group 1-7-4, the second nut group 1-7-5 and the third nut group 1-7-6 respectively.

[0028] The valve control assembly 1-2 is fixed to the first nut group 1-7-4 by threaded mounting screws;

[0029] The handbrake assembly 1-4 is fixed to the second nut group 1-7-5 by threaded mounting screws;

[0030] The foot brake assembly 1-3 is fixed to the third nut group 1-7-6 by threaded mounting screws;

[0031] The instrument panel 1-5 and the welding bracket 1-7-3 are fixed together by assembly bolts.

[0032] The valve control assembly 1-2, foot brake assembly 1-3, handbrake assembly 1-4, and instrument panel assembly 1-7 are installed from the inside, secured with screws and welded nuts. From the outside, the screws are not visible; only the bolts securing the overhead guard assembly 1-1 and the vehicle body are visible, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. (For reference...) Figure 4 If a traditional single-plate design is used, more bolts will be visible in the front view. Exposed bolts are neither aesthetically pleasing nor safe.

[0033] The instrument panel 1-5 has three slots on its surface for exposing the valve control assembly 1-2, the foot brake assembly 1-3, and the hand brake assembly 1-4.

[0034] Both the front panel body 1-7-1 and the rear panel body 1-7-2-1 are formed using a press-forming process to achieve internal installation clearance. (Refer to...) Figure 2 A welding nut is added between the front and rear plate sandwich layers to allow bolts to be installed from the inside. Alternatively, the nut can be welded to the welding bracket 1-7-3 to fix it, thus enabling the installation of the instrument panel 1-5.

[0035] The front panel body 1-7-1 and the rear panel assembly 1-7-2 are fixed together by spot welding.

[0036] Mounting ears are welded to the side wall of the top cover assembly 1-1. Through holes are opened on both sides of the instrument frame assembly. The instrument frame assembly 1-7 is fixed to the top cover assembly 1-1 by assembly bolts.

[0037] When assembling the instrument panel 1-5 assembly, firstly, spot weld the front panel body 1-7-1 and the rear panel body 1-7-2-1 together. Then, bolts are used to fix the welded instrument frame assembly 1-7 to the top cover assembly 1-1. Next, valve control assembly 1-2 is assembled at the welding position of the first nut group 1-7-4, handbrake assembly 1-4 is assembled at the welding position of the second nut group 1-7-5, and foot brake assembly 1-3 is assembled at the welding position of the third nut group 1-7-6. Finally, the instrument panel 1-5 is assembled and fixed to the instrument frame assembly 1-7 using the welding bracket 1-7-3. Bolts are used to fix the welding bracket 1-7-3 to the instrument panel 1-5.
