Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buses, specifically to a bus dashboard support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Buses are land-based transportation vehicles specifically designed for public or group transport, with their core function being to provide comfortable and safe travel services for multiple passengers. These vehicles typically have a large interior space, and through a reasonable seating layout and aisle design, they can accommodate a large number of passengers while ensuring convenient boarding and alighting. From city buses to long-distance tourist buses, from school buses to airport shuttles, buses come in a variety of types, covering different needs such as short-distance commuting, intercity travel, and specific scenario connections.

[0003] As a vital mode of transportation carrying multiple passengers, the structural design of buses revolves around safety, comfort, and functionality, with each component working closely together to achieve efficient transport. The bus frame is the core supporting structure, typically constructed from high-strength steel or lightweight aluminum alloy. This ensures overall rigidity to withstand extreme situations like collisions, while optimized design reduces weight to improve fuel economy or range. The frame layout is adjusted for different uses; for example, city buses use a low-floor design for convenient passenger movement, while long-distance buses increase luggage compartment space by raising the floor, and may also include additional storage areas on the roof to meet long-distance travel needs. However, buses are generally wide, and the dashboard structure at the front of the bus covers the front, resulting in a large dashboard that requires a supporting frame. For example, the utility model patent application CN201120472666.9, entitled "Dashboard Assembly," requires numerous crossbars, longitudinal bars, and support rods to form a skeleton to support the dashboard, resulting in a complex overall structure and high production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a support structure for a bus dashboard, which aims to improve the problem that conventional support structures require a large number of horizontal bars, vertical bars and support rods to form a skeleton to support the dashboard, resulting in a complex overall structure and high production costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A passenger vehicle dashboard support structure includes a main frame, a mounting frame fixed on the main frame, and a support frame fixed on the outside of the mounting frame. The support frame includes a central control section, an instrument panel section, and a side instrument panel section arranged sequentially.

[0007] A first fixing frame and a first upper frame body are fixed on the central control section. The first upper frame body is located on the side of the first fixing frame and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the central control structure of the instrument panel. A second fixing frame and a second upper frame body are fixed on the instrument panel section. The second upper frame body is located on both sides of the second fixing frame and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the instrument panel. The side instrument panel section extends to the side of the instrument panel and is fixed with a second lower frame body. The end of the second lower frame body extends outwards and is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the side of the instrument panel.

[0008] Further, the second upper frame body is fixed on the front side of the support frame body. Upper extension parts and lower extension parts are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the second upper frame body, forming a "冂"-shaped connection structure and being fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the instrument panel.

[0009] Further, the second fixing frame includes two relatively arranged fixing bodies. The fixing bodies are fixedly connected to the top surface of the support frame body. A fixing part extending upwards is arranged at the rear end of the fixing body. The two fixing parts are fixedly connected to the instrument panel housing. Inclined connecting parts are arranged at both ends of the bottom of the instrument panel housing. The inclination direction of the inclined connecting parts is the same as that of the inclined fixing parts on the same side and they are fixedly connected.

[0010] Further, the first upper frame body is fixed on the rear side surface of the support frame body. A bent fixing section is fixed at the top end of the first upper frame body. The end of the bent fixing section is inclined towards the inner side surface direction of the instrument panel and is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the instrument panel.

[0011] Further, the first fixing frame includes two relatively arranged bottom frames and a "冂"-shaped plate. The two free ends of the "冂"-shaped plate are respectively fixedly connected to the two bottom frames. The "冂"-shaped plate forms an installation plane and is fixedly connected to the display component.

[0012] Further, a first lower frame body is fixed on the bottom surface of the support frame body. The end of the first lower frame body extends outwards and is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the central control structure.

[0013] Further, the installation frame body includes two relatively arranged installation plates. One side of the installation plate is fixedly connected to the main frame. An installation cross bar is fixed between the other sides of the installation plates. A connecting piece is arranged on the installation cross bar and the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the support frame body.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting plate includes a fixed vertical part and an installation vertical part arranged opposite to each other. The fixed vertical part is fitted to the main frame and fixedly connected to the main frame. The top end of the installation vertical part is located above the top end of the fixed vertical part, and the bottom end of the installation vertical part is located above the bottom end of the fixed vertical part. A connecting part is fixed between the installation vertical part and the fixed vertical part. A weight-reducing channel is provided on the connecting part, and the shape of the weight-reducing channel is the same as the shape of the connecting part.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the vertical mounting part is provided with a mounting notch, and the end of the mounting crossbar is embedded in the mounting notch and fixedly connected to the vertical mounting surface.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0036] Example

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a bus dashboard support structure, including a main frame 1, a mounting bracket 2 fixed on the main frame 1, and a support bracket 3 fixed to the outer side of the mounting bracket 2. The support bracket 3 includes a central control section 37, an instrument panel section 38, and a side instrument panel section 39 arranged sequentially. A first fixing bracket 32 ​​and a first upper bracket 31 are fixed on the central control section 37. The first upper bracket 31 is located on the side of the first fixing bracket 32 ​​and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the central control section 42 of the instrument panel 4. A second fixing bracket 35 and a second upper bracket 34 are fixed on the instrument panel section 38. The second upper bracket 34 is located on both sides of the second fixing bracket 35 and is fixedly connected to the inner side of the instrument panel. The side instrument panel section 39 extends to the side of the instrument panel 4 and is fixedly equipped with a second lower bracket 36. The end of the second lower bracket 36 extends outward and is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the side of the instrument panel 4.

[0038] The main frame 1, located in the middle, supports the mounting frame 2 and the support frame 3. The support frame 3 extends towards the driver's seat, supporting the installation of electronic components such as instruments in the driver's seat. The other side is fixedly supported by the housing itself, effectively reducing the overall cost of the support structure. The support frame 3 is divided into a central control section 37, an instrument panel section 38, and a side instrument panel section 39, supporting various positions of the instrument panel 4 in the driver's seat. The central control section 37 is fixedly installed on the screen display component 43 at the central control position 42 by the first fixing bracket 32, and the first upper frame 31 supports the upper part of the central control position 42. The instrument panel section 38 is fixedly installed on the instrument panel by the second fixing bracket 35, and the second upper frame 34 supports the upper part of the instrument panel position. The side instrument panel section 39 extends to the side of the instrument panel 4, and the second lower frame 36 supports the bottom side of the instrument panel 4, jointly ensuring the assembly stability of the instrument panel 4.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, specifically, the main frame 1 includes a frame body 11 and a reinforcing panel 12 fixed to the clamping body. The bottom end of the frame body 11 is fixed to the bottom panel 5 of the vehicle body, and the reinforcing panel 12 is fixed to the side of the frame body 11 away from the mounting frame 2, connecting various positions of the frame body 11 to improve the structural strength of the main frame 1. The mounting frame 2 includes two oppositely arranged mounting plates 21. One side of the mounting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the main frame 1, and a mounting crossbar 22 is fixed between the other sides of the mounting plates 21. A connector is provided on the mounting crossbar 22, and the connector is fixedly connected to the support frame 3. The mounting plates 21 support the two ends of the mounting crossbar 22 on both sides to ensure that the mounting crossbar 22 can provide stable support force for the support frame 3. In this embodiment, the connector includes a connecting plate 23 and bolts. The two ends of the connecting plate 23 extend to the mounting crossbar 22 and the support frame 3 respectively, and are fixedly connected to the support frame 3 and the mounting crossbar 22 by bolts to achieve fixed installation of the support frame 3.

[0040] Specifically, the mounting plate 21 includes a fixed vertical part 211 and a mounting vertical part 212 arranged opposite to each other. The fixed vertical part 211 is fitted to and fixedly connected to the main frame 1. The top end of the mounting vertical part 212 is located above the top end of the fixed vertical part 211, and the bottom end of the mounting vertical part is located above the bottom end of the fixed vertical part 211. A connecting part 213 is fixed between the mounting vertical part 212 and the fixed vertical part 211. A weight-reducing channel 214 is provided on the connecting part 213, and the shape of the weight-reducing channel 214 is the same as the shape of the connecting part 213. The mounting vertical part 212 is located above the fixed vertical part 211, so that the mounting plate 21 forms a parallelogram-like structure that slopes upward from bottom to top, further improving the overall structural strength of the mounting frame 2, thereby improving the support effect on the support frame 3. The opening shape of the weight-reducing channel 214 matches the shape of the connecting part 213, avoiding any impact on the overall structural strength of the mounting plate 21, while also reducing the material used in the mounting plate 21 and further reducing production costs. In this embodiment, the mounting crossbar 22 is welded to the mounting plate 21 to fix the mounting crossbar 22. Similarly, bolts or other fixing structures can also be used to install the mounting crossbar 22.

[0041] In this embodiment, an installation notch 2121 is provided at the end of the vertical mounting part 212, and the end of the horizontal mounting rod 22 is embedded in the installation notch 2121 and fixedly connected to the vertical mounting surface. The connection between the installation notch 2121 and the end of the horizontal mounting rod 22 effectively increases the contact area between the vertical mounting part 212 and the horizontal mounting rod 22, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the mounting frame 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the first upper frame 31 is fixed to the rear side of the support frame 3. A bent fixing section 311 is fixed to the top of the first upper frame 31, with its end inclined towards the inner side of the instrument panel 4 and fixedly connected to it. The first upper frame 31 is located behind the support frame 3, increasing its overall size and structural strength. Furthermore, the bent fixing section 311, fixedly connected to the inner side of the instrument panel 4, forms an inclined support structure, providing an upward inclined support force to the instrument panel 4 and improving its support effect.

[0043] Specifically, the first fixing frame 32 includes two opposing base frames 321 and a U-shaped plate 322. The two free ends of the U-shaped plate 322 are fixedly connected to the two base frames 321 respectively. The U-shaped plate 322 forms a mounting plane and is fixedly connected to the display component 43. The U-shaped plate 322 provides a larger mounting plane for the display component 43, increasing the contact area between it and the display component 43, thereby improving the installation stability of the display component 43. The U-shaped plate 322 is inclined to ensure that the display component 43 is perpendicular to the driver's view, improving the driver's efficiency in obtaining the displayed content. In this embodiment, the base frames 321 and the U-shaped plate 322 are integrally formed, avoiding bolted connections between the base frames 321 and the U-shaped plate 322, which would affect the overall structural strength of the first fixing frame 32.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, furthermore, a first lower frame 33 is fixed to the bottom surface of the support frame 3. The end of the first lower frame 33 extends outward and is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the central control 42 structure. The first lower frame 33 extends toward the inner bottom surface of the central control 42 structure to support the central control 42 structure, thereby achieving multi-position support for the instrument panel 4 located in the central control 42 position and improving the support effect for the instrument panel 4.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the second upper frame 34 is fixed to the front side of the support frame 3. The upper and lower ends of the second upper frame 34 are respectively provided with an upper extension 341 and a lower extension 342, forming a "U"-shaped connecting structure 343 that is fixedly connected to the inner side of the instrument panel 4. The upper extension 341 and the lower extension 342 extend to both sides of the concave area of ​​the instrument panel, and are supported and installed on the instrument panel 4 through the upper and lower ends of the "U"-shaped connecting structure 343, thereby improving the support effect of the instrument panel 4 at the instrument panel position.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the second fixing frame 35 includes two opposing fixing bodies 351, which are fixedly connected to the top surface of the support frame 3. The rear end of each fixing body 351 has an upwardly extending fixing portion, and the two fixing portions are fixedly connected to the instrument panel housing 41. Furthermore, the bottom ends of the instrument panel housing 41 are provided with inclined connecting portions 411, whose inclined direction is the same as that of the inclined fixing portion 352 on the same side, and they are fixedly connected. The inclined connecting portion 411 and the inclined fixing portion 352 fit together and are fixedly formed, creating an "eight"-shaped installation structure, which improves the installation stability of the instrument panel. Furthermore, the outwardly extending inclined connecting portion 411 reduces the size of the instrument panel housing, further reducing the overall production cost of the bus.

[0047] In this embodiment, the base frame 321, the first upper frame 31, the first lower frame 33, the second upper frame 34, the fixed body 351, and the second lower frame 36 are all fixedly connected to the support frame 3 by welding. Furthermore, the ends of the first lower frame 33, the second upper frame 34, and the second lower frame 36 are all provided with welding notches 331. The welding notches 331 fit closely to the two adjacent sides of the support rod, increasing the welding length between the first lower frame 33, the second upper frame 34, and the second lower frame 36 and the support rod, thereby improving the structural strength of the first lower frame 33, the second upper frame 34, and the second lower frame 36.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
