Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle dashboard lower left guard plate technology, for example to a vehicle dashboard lower left guard plate with OBD assembly. Background Technology

[0002] OBD is an abbreviation for On-Board Diagnostics, meaning "automatic vehicle diagnostic system." It connects to the electronic control unit (ECU) via various emission-related component information. The ECU has the function of detecting and analyzing emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records fault information and related codes, and issues a warning through a malfunction indicator lamp to inform the driver. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.

[0003] Currently, the OBD mounting brackets for new energy electric vehicles on the market are basically sheet metal welded brackets. Generally, the sheet metal bracket is welded to the tube beam welded assembly. Specifically, the sheet metal welded bracket for OBD mounting is first constructed, then welded to the tube beam assembly, and finally the OBD is assembled to the sheet metal bracket by snap-fit. This structural solution is cumbersome in terms of assembly and welding, and has drawbacks such as large space occupation, high weight, and long development cycle. Utility Model Content

[0004] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0005] This disclosure provides a lower left dashboard guard plate with OBD assembly to solve the problems of cumbersome OBD assembly, large space occupation, high weight, and long development cycle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A lower left dashboard trim panel with OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) assembly includes a panel body, an assembly body, and a front cover switch assembly. The panel body has a functional opening at its top for pre-installing a steering wheel. The assembly body is located on one side of the front cover switch assembly, and both the assembly body and the front cover switch assembly are located on the inner bottom of the panel body. The OBD device is assembled via the assembly body. The assembly body mainly consists of a fixed base plate and a mounting plate. The fixed base plate is connected to the bottom inner side of the panel body. Two sets of reinforcing side plates are welded to one side of the fixed base plate to effectively ensure the mounting... The stability of the ligand ensures the stability of the OBD after assembly. The mounting plate is located on the bottom side of the reinforced side plate and is used to attach the OBD. The fixed base plate, reinforced side plate, and mounting plate are all made of plastic. By setting up the assembly, the traditional metal OBD bracket is changed to a plastic welded bracket. The sheet metal bracket is changed to an OBD welded bracket on the lower left guard plate, which reduces the vehicle weight, makes the structural space more compact, reduces the cost of the tube beam assembly, reduces the complexity of tube beam welding, and shortens the development cycle. The lower left guard plate integrates the OBD installation function, thus shortening the OBD bracket development cycle.

[0008] Furthermore, a number of locking pins are provided on one side of the inner surface of the plate to facilitate the locking connection between the plate and the vehicle body. A reserved hole is provided on the top side of one side of the plate to facilitate the complete fixing of the plate to the vehicle body with screws. An installation hole is provided on the top side of the plate to reserve a position for the air conditioning vent on the left side of the center console.

[0009] Furthermore, the panel also includes a storage box, which is located on the top side of the assembly. Several buckles are provided on the inner side of the panel along the end side of the storage box, and the storage box is fixedly connected to the panel through the buckles.

[0010] Furthermore, the front cover switch assembly includes a lever and a bracket plate. The lever is located on the bottom side of the plate and is hinged to the end side of the bracket plate via a pin. The lever is connected to a pull rod to control the opening of the vehicle's hood. The specific structure and the principle of controlling the opening of the hood are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The bracket plate is fixedly located on the inner side of the bottom of the plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a return spring is sleeved on the outer side of the pin that hinges the flap to the bracket plate. One end of the return spring extends to connect with the inner side of the flap, and the other end extends to connect with the inner side of the bracket plate. The return spring can effectively ensure that the flap can be reset after the hood is opened. Fixing plates are provided on both sides and the top side of the bracket plate. Each fixing plate has a screw hole. Positioning brackets are provided on the plate body at the positions corresponding to the fixing plates. Each fixing plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning bracket by screws, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the bracket plate and the plate body.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixed base plate is fixedly connected to the plate body by ultrasonic piercing welding.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the mounting plate is fixedly welded to the fixed base plate, and the top side is fixedly welded to the corresponding reinforcing side plate.

[0014] The lower left dashboard guard plate with OBD assembly provided in this embodiment can achieve the following technical effects:

[0015] This utility model changes the traditional metal OBD bracket to a plastic welded bracket by setting up an assembly, and changes the sheet metal bracket to an OBD welded bracket on the lower left guard plate, which reduces the vehicle weight and makes its structural space more compact, reduces the cost of the tube beam assembly, reduces the complexity of tube beam welding, shortens the development cycle, and integrates the OBD installation function into the lower left guard plate, thus shortening the OBD bracket development cycle.
