Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an integrated automotive dashboard assembly sheet metal bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the importance of the dashboard assembly as a key functional and decorative component inside the vehicle is self-evident. The dashboard assembly includes many components such as the instrument cluster, wiring harness, defrosting and defogging air duct, air conditioning air duct, steering column assembly, passenger airbag, glove box, etc. The stable installation and support of these components depend on the dashboard sheet metal bracket.

[0003] Existing sheet metal brackets mostly adopt traditional frame structures. When subjected to road bumps or minor collisions during vehicle operation, the frame is prone to local deformation. Due to the lack of an effective mechanical distribution structure, stress is concentrated on the side walls or folded edges of the frame, which leads to a decrease in the overall stability of the bracket, weak impact resistance, and safety risks. In view of this, an integrated automotive dashboard assembly sheet metal bracket is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated sheet metal bracket for automotive dashboard assembly to solve the existing problems mentioned in the background art.

[0017] The above technical solution facilitates further improvement of the protective effect. The design of the protective plate and protective strip with the same curvature as the front side of the frame can effectively fit the frame and effectively block external debris from entering the frame. At the same time, it can also play a buffering and protective role for internal components.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective plate is provided with a plurality of through holes evenly distributed along the horizontal direction, and the through holes are in the shape of regular hexagons.

[0019] The above technical solution facilitates the design of regular hexagonal through holes, which helps to evenly distribute stress. It also enables lightweight design while ensuring the protective function of the protective plate, reducing the overall weight.
