Furthermore, different bolt locations may require different operating postures and tools due to space constraints, further increasing the difficulty and complexity of installation. Disassembly during vehicle maintenance or when the dashboard malfunctions presents similar challenges. When removing bolts, the limited space makes tool manipulation difficult, and bolts may rust or become stuck after prolonged use, leading to a time-consuming and laborious disassembly process. This can even damage the bolts, the dashboard, or the threaded holes on the mounting bracket, affecting subsequent reinstallation and use. In addition, frequent disassembly and installation can easily cause thread wear, reducing connection reliability and shortening the dashboard's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for an automotive dashboard, addressing the issues raised in the background section regarding traditional dashboard installation methods that primarily rely on bolt fastening. This method requires specialized tools to tighten multiple bolts one by one onto the mounting base. Since automotive dashboards are typically installed in the relatively confined space of the driver's cabin, operators face limited space during bolt tightening, making it difficult to complete the installation accurately and quickly, resulting in low installation efficiency. Furthermore, different bolt locations may require different operating postures and tools due to space constraints, further increasing the difficulty and complexity of installation. Disassembly during vehicle maintenance or when the dashboard malfunctions presents similar challenges. During bolt removal, the limited space makes tool operation difficult, and bolts may rust or become stuck after prolonged use, leading to time-consuming and laborious disassembly. This can even damage the bolts, the dashboard, or the threaded holes on the mounting base, affecting subsequent reinstallation and use. In addition, frequent disassembly and installation can easily lead to thread wear, reducing connection reliability and shortening the dashboard's lifespan.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mounting structure for an automotive dashboard, comprising a dashboard body, a mounting base provided on the rear side of the dashboard body, two snap-fit ​​seats fixedly connected to the center position of the rear end of the dashboard body, the rear side of the snap-fit ​​seats penetrating into the interior of the mounting base and snapping into the mounting base, fixing grooves being provided at the rear end position of the snap-fit ​​seat on the left side and the front end position of the snap-fit ​​seat on the right side, a groove being provided in the center of the mounting base, and a variable frequency motor being fixedly installed at the center of the rear end of the groove. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The front side of the rotating rod extends into the interior of the groove and is rotatably connected to the center of the front side of the groove. Fixed plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the groove, corresponding to the lower part of the rotating rod. The opposite sides of the fixed plates located on the rear and front sides extend into the interior of two fixed slots and are engaged with the fixed slots. A toothed groove is opened at the center of the top of the fixed plates. Two gears are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, corresponding to the front and rear sides of the groove. The rear end of the gears meshes with the toothed groove.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] The installation structure of this car dashboard, employing a snap-fit ​​connection as its primary method, significantly improves installation and disassembly efficiency. Two snap-fit ​​seats, fixedly connected to the center of the rear end of the dashboard body, can directly penetrate into and snap into the mounting base. Operators do not need to use specialized tools to tighten multiple bolts individually; they only need to align the snap-fit ​​seats with the mounting base for snap-fit ​​operation. This allows for quick and accurate initial installation even in the confined space of the driver's cabin, avoiding operational difficulties caused by space constraints and significantly improving installation efficiency. A variable frequency motor is fixedly installed at the center of the rear end of the recess within the mounting base. Two gears are fixed to the surface of the rotating rod connected to the front output end of the motor. The top center of the fixing strips on the front and rear sides of the recess has toothed grooves that mesh with the gears. The opposite sides of the fixing strips penetrate into the fixing grooves of the two snap-fit ​​seats and snap into them. When the variable frequency motor starts... When the rotating rod and gear rotate, the meshing transmission between the gear and the tooth groove allows the fixed strip to be stably engaged in the fixed groove. Compared with the traditional bolt connection, this mechanical transmission engagement method can provide a more stable and reliable connection force, effectively preventing the dashboard from loosening or shifting due to vibration and inertia during vehicle operation, ensuring that the dashboard is always in a stable working state. The support grooves at the bottom of the opposite ends of the two fixed strips are slidably connected to the support rods fixed at the corresponding positions at the bottom of the grooves. The cooperation between the support rods and the support grooves provides stable guidance and support for the movement of the fixed strips, allowing the fixed strips to be smoothly and accurately engaged in the fixed grooves under the drive of the gears. This further enhances the stability of the engagement structure, reduces the problem of loosening caused by unstable movement of the fixed strips, and improves the reliability of the entire installation structure.

The opposite sides of the fixed strips 8 located on the rear side and the fixed strips 8 located on the front side pass through the interior of two fixed slots 5 and are engaged with the fixed slots 5. A toothed groove 9 is opened at the center of the top of the fixed strip 8. Two gears 10 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 7, corresponding to the front and rear sides of the groove 4. The rear end of the gears 10 meshes with the toothed groove 9.

[0016] The bottom of the two fixed strips 8 set on the left and right is provided with a support groove 11. A support rod 12 is fixedly connected to the front end of the bottom position on one side and the rear end of the bottom position on the other side of the groove 4. One side of the support rod 12 extends into the interior of the support groove 11 and is slidably connected to the support groove 11.

[0017] The front ends of both sides of the mounting base 2 are fixedly connected with external fasteners 13, and the rear ends of the instrument panel body 1 are fixedly connected with fastener plates 14. The fastener plates 14 are engaged with the external fasteners 13.

[0018] The front end of the mounting base 2 is provided with two snap-fit ​​slots 15 on both sides. The rear end of the snap-fit ​​slot 15 is fixedly connected to the inner plate 16. The rear end of the instrument panel body 1 is fixedly connected with two snap-fit ​​posts 17 on both sides. The rear end of the snap-fit ​​post 17 passes through the interior of the snap-fit ​​slot 15 and snaps into the snap-fit ​​slot 15. The center of the front side of the inner plate 16 is fixedly connected to the positioning post 19. The center of the rear end of the snap-fit ​​post 17 is provided with a positioning groove 18. The front side of the positioning post 19 passes through the interior of the positioning groove 18 and snaps into the positioning groove 18.

[0019] Arc-shaped grooves 23 are provided on both sides of the snap-fit ​​post 17. Movable grooves 20 are provided on both sides of the temporal part of the snap-fit ​​post 17 corresponding to the positioning groove 18. Movable plates 21 are slidably connected inside the movable grooves 20. Arc-shaped blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two movable plates 21 on the left and right. The side of the arc-shaped block 22 away from the movable plate 21 extends into the interior of the arc-shaped groove 23 and snaps into the arc-shaped groove 23.

[0020] Each of the two movable plates 21 has a movable rod 24 fixedly connected to one end facing away from the other. A return spring 27 is sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 24. The two sides of the return spring 27 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 20 and the movable plate 21, respectively.

[0021] A limiting groove 25 is provided inside the snap-fit ​​post 17 on one side corresponding to the movable groove 20. A limiting slider 26 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 25. The center of one side of the limiting slider 26 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 24.

[0022] Working Principle: Two snap-fit ​​seats 3 are fixedly connected to the rear center of the instrument panel body 1. During installation, the operator brings the instrument panel body 1 close to the mounting base 2, aligning the two snap-fit ​​seats 3 with the corresponding positions on the mounting base 2. Then, the rear side of the snap-fit ​​seats 3 directly penetrates into the interior of the mounting base 2, achieving initial snap-fit ​​between the snap-fit ​​seats 3 and the mounting base 2. This process does not require the use of special tools and can be completed quickly and accurately in the confined space of the cockpit, providing a basic positioning for subsequent stable fixing. A variable frequency motor 6 is fixedly installed at the rear center of the groove 4 inside the mounting base 2. After the initial snap-fit ​​is completed, the variable frequency motor 6 is started. A rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the front side of the variable frequency motor 6. After the motor starts, it drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The front side of the rotating rod 7 penetrates into the groove. The rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the center of the front side of the groove 4 inside the groove 4, ensuring that the rotating rod 7 can rotate stably in the groove 4. Two gears 10 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 7 corresponding to the front and rear sides of the groove 4. Fixed strips 8 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the groove 4 below the rotating rod 7. The center of the top of the fixed strip 8 is provided with a toothed groove 9. The rear end of the gear 10 meshes with the toothed groove 9. When the rotating rod 7 rotates, it drives the two gears 10 to rotate synchronously. The meshing transmission between the gears 10 and the toothed groove 9 causes the fixed strip 8 to move. The opposite sides of the fixed strip 8 located on the rear side and the fixed strip 8 located on the front side respectively penetrate into the fixed grooves 5 of the two snap-fit ​​seats 3. As the gears 10 rotate, the fixed strips 8 move. Under the action of meshing transmission, the 8 is stably engaged in the fixing groove 5. Compared with the traditional bolt connection, this mechanical transmission engagement method can provide a more stable and reliable connection force, effectively preventing the dashboard from loosening or shifting due to vibration and inertia during vehicle operation, ensuring that the dashboard is always in a stable working state. The bottom of the opposite ends of the two fixing plates 8 are provided with support grooves 11. Support rods 12 are fixedly connected to the front end of the bottom position on one side and the rear end of the bottom position on the other side of the groove 4. One side of the support rod 12 extends into the interior of the support groove 11 and slides in connection with the support groove 11. During the movement of the fixing plate 8, the cooperation between the support rod 12 and the support groove 11 is the movement of the fixing plate 8. The gear 10 provides stable guidance and support, allowing the fixing plate 8 to smoothly and accurately engage in the fixing groove 5 under the drive of the gear 10. This further enhances the stability of the engagement structure, reduces the problem of loosening caused by unstable movement of the fixing plate 8, and improves the reliability of the entire installation structure. External fasteners 13 are fixedly connected to the front ends of both sides of the mounting base 2, and fastener plates 14 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rear end of the instrument panel body 1. After the engagement of the fasteners 3 and the mounting base 2, and the engagement of the fixing plate 8 and the fixing groove 5, the fastener plates 14 are engaged with the external fasteners 13. This further enhances the connection stability between the instrument panel body 1 and the mounting base 2, fixing the instrument panel from multiple directions and preventing it from shaking in different directions.The front end of the mounting base 2 has two snap-fit ​​slots 15 on both sides. An internal plate 16 is fixedly connected to the rear end of each snap-fit ​​slot 15. Snap-fit ​​posts 17 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the instrument panel body 1 on both sides. The rear end of each snap-fit ​​post 17 passes through the interior of the snap-fit ​​slot 15 and snaps into it, achieving another point of snap-fit ​​fixation. Simultaneously, a positioning post 19 is fixedly connected to the center of the front side of the internal plate 16. A positioning groove 18 is formed at the center of the rear end of each snap-fit ​​post 17. The front side of the positioning post 19 passes through the interior of the positioning groove 18 and snaps into it, providing precise positioning for the instrument panel installation and ensuring the instrument panel is aligned with other vehicle components. The relative positions are accurate. Arc-shaped grooves 23 are provided on both sides of the locking post 17. Movable grooves 20 are provided on both sides of the positioning groove 18 inside the locking post 17. Movable plates 21 are slidably connected inside the movable grooves 20. Arc-shaped blocks 22 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two movable plates 21. When the positioning post 19 is engaged in the positioning groove 18, the arc-shaped blocks 22, under the action of the internal structure (such as the elastic force of the return spring 27), penetrate into the arc-shaped groove 23 and engage with it, further enhancing the connection stability between the locking post 17 and the locking groove 15, preventing the locking post 17 from detaching from the locking groove 15. Each movable plate 21 has a movable rod 24 fixedly connected to one end opposite to the other. A return spring 27 is fitted onto the surface of the movable rod 24. The two sides of the return spring 27 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 20 and the movable plate 21, respectively. During installation, when the positioning pin 19 engages with the positioning groove 18, the return spring 27 is compressed, generating elastic force that pushes the movable plate 21 and the arc-shaped block 22 towards the arc-shaped groove 23, thus engaging the arc-shaped block 22 with the arc-shaped groove 23. During disassembly, external force overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 27, causing the movable plate 21 and the arc-shaped block 22 to move in opposite directions, releasing the engagement between the arc-shaped block 22 and the arc-shaped groove 23. For easy disassembly of the instrument panel, a limiting groove 25 is provided inside the snap-fit ​​post 17 on one side corresponding to the movable groove 20. A limiting slider 26 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 25. The center of one side of the limiting slider 26 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 24. The cooperation of the limiting groove 25 and the limiting slider 26 restricts the movement range of the movable rod 24, thereby restricting the movement range of the movable plate 21 and the arc-shaped block 22. This ensures that the arc-shaped block 22 can accurately engage in the arc-shaped groove 23, and also prevents the movable plate 21 and the arc-shaped block 22 from shifting or disengaging from the movable groove 20 during movement, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire snap-fit ​​structure.

[0023] In summary, the installation structure of this automotive dashboard, employing a snap-fit ​​connection as its primary method, significantly improves installation and disassembly efficiency. Two snap-fit ​​seats 3, fixedly connected to the rear center of the dashboard body 1, can directly penetrate into and snap into the mounting base 2. Operators do not need to use specialized tools to tighten multiple bolts individually; they only need to align the snap-fit ​​seats 3 with the mounting base 2 for snap-fit ​​operation. This allows for quick and accurate initial installation even in the confined space of the driver's cabin, avoiding operational difficulties caused by space constraints and significantly improving installation efficiency. A variable frequency motor 6 is fixedly installed at the rear center of the groove 4 within the mounting base 2. Two gears 10 are fixed to the surface of the rotating rod 7 connected to its front output end. The fixing strips 8 on the front and rear sides of the groove 4 have toothed grooves 9 at their top centers that mesh with the gears 10. The opposite sides of the fixing strips 8 penetrate into and snap into the fixing grooves 5 of the two snap-fit ​​seats 3. When the variable frequency motor 6 starts... When the rotating rod 7 and gear 10 rotate, the meshing transmission between gear 10 and tooth groove 9 allows the fixed strip 8 to be stably engaged in the fixed groove 5. Compared with the traditional bolt connection, this mechanical transmission engagement method can provide a more stable and reliable connection force, effectively preventing the dashboard from loosening or shifting due to vibration and inertia during vehicle operation, ensuring that the dashboard is always in a stable working state. The support slide groove 11 opened at the bottom of the opposite ends of the two fixed strips 8 is slidably connected to the support slide rod 12 fixed at the corresponding position at the bottom of the groove 4. The cooperation between the support slide rod 12 and the support slide groove 11 provides a stable guide and support for the movement of the fixed strip 8, so that the fixed strip 8 can be smoothly and accurately engaged in the fixed groove 5 under the drive of gear 10, further enhancing the stability of the engagement structure, reducing the problem of loosening caused by unstable movement of the fixed strip 8, and improving the reliability of the entire installation structure.
