Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to an instrument panel assembly for a vehicle and the vehicle itself. Background Technology

[0002] The air duct of a car's air conditioning system is the core component for airflow distribution in the passenger compartment. Its function is to guide the airflow processed by the air conditioning system through the duct to the air outlets on the instrument panel and the sub-instrument panel, and finally blow it onto the face or upper body area of ​​the passenger at a specific angle and flow rate.

[0003] In related technologies, air vents are difficult to deliver air precisely due to the Coanda effect. Therefore, how to achieve precise air delivery is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved today. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an instrument panel assembly and a vehicle for use in a vehicle, which enables precise air delivery.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted in this application include:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an instrument panel assembly for a vehicle, including a main instrument panel and a sub-instrument panel: the main instrument panel is provided with a first air vent; the sub-instrument panel includes a sub-instrument panel body and a connecting portion, the connecting portion being disposed on the front side of the sub-instrument panel body and connected to the main instrument panel; wherein, the upper side of the connecting portion has a first top surface, the first air vent has a first air outlet direction, the first top surface is inclined downward relative to the first air outlet direction, and along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the first top surface has a first end and a second end spaced apart, the second end being connected to the sub-instrument panel body, and the height of the first end being greater than the height of the second end.

[0007] The dashboard assembly proposed in this application has a first top surface that is tilted away from the first air outlet direction, which reduces the guiding effect of the first top surface on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet. The side of the first top surface away from the first air outlet is lower in height, and the airflow flowing along the first air outlet direction can quickly move away from the first top surface, reducing the influence of the first top surface on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet. The airflow is more likely to detach from the first top surface and diffuse upward, thereby achieving precise air delivery.

[0008] Optionally, the first top surface is constructed as a plane.

[0009] In the above scheme, the flat first top surface can cause the first top surface to deviate quickly from the first air outlet direction. That is to say, as the tilt angle of the first top surface increases, the airflow blown away from the first air outlet can quickly move away from the first top surface, thereby further reducing the influence of the first top surface on the airflow blown from the first air outlet. The airflow blown from the first air outlet can quickly leave the first top surface and diffuse upward. When the wind speed and air volume of the first air outlet are slow, the Coanda effect can still be reduced, and precise air delivery can be achieved.

[0010] Optionally, the angle between the first top surface and the first air outlet direction is α, satisfying: 8°≤α≤10°.

[0011] In the above scheme, since the angle between the first top surface and the first air outlet direction meets the above range, on the one hand, the guiding effect of the first top surface on the airflow blown out from the first air outlet can be reduced, so that the airflow blown out from the first air outlet can flow in a predetermined direction, thereby helping to deliver air accurately. On the other hand, it helps to improve the structural strength and reduce the occurrence of stress concentration at the first top surface. At the same time, the connection between the first top surface and other interior components of the vehicle (such as the center console and the windshield) is more natural, and it can be better integrated into the overall rigid frame, so that the instrument panel assembly can maintain structural integrity when subjected to lateral or longitudinal impact forces, further improving the safety and durability of the vehicle interior.

[0012] Optionally, the first top surface is constructed as an arc-shaped surface.

[0013] In the above solutions, the curved surface can guide the airflow to extend naturally along the curved surface through changes in curvature, so that the airflow forms a fan-shaped diffusion effect when it leaves the top surface. For example, a convex curved surface can make the airflow spread upward at a gentle angle, avoiding the discomfort caused by direct airflow, while covering a larger area of ​​the driving and riding area, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0014] Optionally, the connecting part is also provided with a second air outlet, which has a second air outlet direction, intersecting with the first air outlet direction, and is adjacent to the first top surface and located in front of the first top surface.

[0015] In the above scheme, the airflow from the second air outlet can guide the airflow from the first air outlet to a certain extent, so that the airflow is blown more accurately towards the driver and passengers. In other words, the first air outlet and the second air outlet can achieve compound angle air supply and achieve three-dimensional airflow coverage. The second air outlet is located on the front side of the first top surface. The airflow from the second air outlet can push the airflow from the first air outlet to diffuse upward, reduce the interference of the first top surface, and further improve the air supply accuracy.

[0016] Optionally, the dashboard assembly also includes an air vent assembly located below the main dashboard.

[0017] The air outlet assembly includes a main air duct, a first sub-air duct, and a second sub-air duct. One end of the first sub-air duct is connected to the main air duct, and the other end is connected to the first air outlet. One end of the second sub-air duct is connected to the main air duct, and the other end is connected to the second air outlet.

[0018] In the above scheme, the first sub-duct is connected to the first air outlet separately, which can optimize its air volume and thus help improve the air delivery accuracy of the first air outlet. The second sub-duct is connected to the second air outlet independently, which makes it easy to design the duct bending angle and cross-sectional shape according to its front layout position and air delivery angle, ensuring that the airflow is accurately delivered to the target area. At the same time, it is easy to adjust the air volume of the first air outlet and the second air outlet at the same time when air is coming out at the same time, so as to achieve precise air delivery.

[0019] Optionally, the dashboard assembly also includes a trim panel adapted to cover the air vent assembly, the trim panel being positioned above the air vent assembly and between the first and second air vents along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0020] In the above solution, the decorative panel is located between the first air outlet and the second air outlet, which can serve as a physical separation surface for airflow, preventing the airflow from the two outlets from directly colliding and forming turbulence. This helps to make the air delivery area more precise. The decorative panel covers the air outlet components, which can hide the internal air ducts, dampers and other mechanical structures, and prevent exposed parts from affecting the interior texture.

[0021] Optionally, the upper side of the decorative panel has a second top surface, which is parallel to the first air outlet direction.

[0022] In the above scheme, when the second top surface is parallel to the first air outlet direction, the upper surface of the decorative panel can serve as an "extended guide surface" for the airflow. For example, when the airflow from the first air outlet flows along the second top surface, the parallel surface will not interfere with the airflow in the vertical direction, allowing the airflow to maintain a predetermined angle and continue flowing, which helps to increase the air delivery distance. At the same time, the parallel design avoids the vortex formed by the collision between the airflow and the top surface, which helps to reduce the kinetic energy loss of the airflow, thereby increasing the air volume obtained in the target area.

[0023] Optionally, the first air outlet is provided with a first grille, and the second air outlet is provided with a second grille.

[0024] In the above solution, the first and second grilles can deliver air in different directions through different separation angles. Simultaneously, the grilles divide the originally concentrated air column into several fine streams. On one hand, this reduces the airflow velocity, making the airflow gentler on the body and improving the uniformity of airflow over the skin, avoiding localized strong wind stimulation. On the other hand, grilles at different tilt angles can divide a single airflow into a crisscrossing airflow network, further increasing the airflow coverage area, expanding the air delivery area, and further improving the user experience.

[0025] Secondly, embodiments of this application disclose a vehicle including a dashboard assembly of any of the above embodiments.

[0026] The vehicle disclosed in this application includes the dashboard assembly of any of the above embodiments, which enables precise air delivery and improves passenger comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The air duct of a car's air conditioning system is the core component for airflow distribution in the passenger compartment. Its function is to guide the airflow processed by the air conditioning system through the duct to the air outlets on the instrument panel and the sub-instrument panel, and finally blow it onto the face or upper body area of ​​the passenger at a specific angle and flow rate.

[0048] In some passenger vehicles, due to the limited airflow guidance structure of the air vents and the need for the local curved surfaces of the vents to meet aesthetic requirements, there is a continuous sloping structure behind the vent housing. This can easily cause the airflow to interact with the local curved surfaces of the vents, resulting in a Coanda effect that affects the airflow direction, diffusion range, and comfort.

[0049] In other words, in related technologies, the air vents for blowing air into the face are difficult to deliver air accurately due to the Coanda effect. Therefore, how to achieve accurate air delivery is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved today.

[0050] In view of this, in order to achieve precise air delivery, this application embodiment proposes an instrument panel assembly for a vehicle. The upper side of the connecting portion 220 has a first top surface 221, and the first air outlet 110 has a first air outlet direction 110a. The first top surface 221 is inclined downward relative to the first air outlet direction 110a. Along the vehicle's front-rear direction X, the first top surface 221 has a first end 221a and a second end 221b spaced apart. The second end 221b is connected to the sub-instrument panel body 210. The height of the first end 221a is greater than that of the second end 221b. The height of 21b means that the first top surface 221 extends towards the rear / downward of the vehicle. At the same time, the first end 221a and the second end 221b form a slope that is higher in the front and lower in the back. When the airflow blows out from the first air outlet 110, since the airflow direction of the first air outlet 110 is not parallel to the tilt direction of the first top surface 221 (e.g., the air outlet is upward, but the top surface is tilted downward), the airflow is difficult to adhere to the surface continuously. As a result, it is forced to detach from the first top surface 221 and diffuse upward, thereby weakening the Coanda effect, achieving precise air delivery, and improving the user experience.

[0051] The following describes an embodiment of a dashboard component for a vehicle proposed in this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An instrument panel assembly for a vehicle according to a first aspect of this application includes a main instrument panel 100 and a secondary instrument panel 200.

[0053] The main instrument panel 100 is provided with a first air vent 110; that is, by integrating the air vent into the main instrument panel 100, which is closer to the face area of ​​the driver and front passenger, the air delivery path can be shortened, thereby reducing the energy loss of airflow in the vehicle.

[0054] The secondary instrument panel 200 includes a secondary instrument panel body 210 and a connecting part 220. The connecting part 220 is located on the front side of the secondary instrument panel body 210 and is connected to the main instrument panel 100. In other words, the secondary instrument panel body 210 can be connected to the main instrument panel 100 through the connecting part 220 to form a continuous structural design, which is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0055] The connecting part 220 has a first top surface 221 on its upper side, and the first air outlet 110 has a first air outlet direction 110a. The first top surface 221 is inclined downward relative to the first air outlet direction 110a. In other words, the first top surface 221 is inclined away from the first air outlet direction 110a, which reduces the guiding effect of the first top surface 221 on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 and reduces the influence of the first top surface 221 on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110. The airflow is more likely to detach from the first top surface 221 and diffuse upward, thereby achieving precise air delivery.

[0056] Along the vehicle's longitudinal direction X, the first top surface 221 has a first end 221a and a second end 221b spaced apart. The second end 221b is connected to the sub-instrument body 210. The height of the first end 221a is greater than the height of the second end 221b. That is, the side of the first top surface 221 away from the first air outlet 110 is lower in height. The airflow flowing along the first air outlet direction 110a can quickly move away from the first top surface 221, thereby reducing the influence of the first top surface 221 on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110. With this configuration, the airflow is difficult to continuously adhere to the surface, and is thus forced to detach from the first top surface 221 and diffuse upward, thereby weakening the Coanda effect and achieving precise air delivery.

[0057] In other embodiments, the first top surface 221 is configured as a plane.

[0058] In the above scheme, the flat first top surface 221 can cause the first top surface 221 to deviate quickly from the first air outlet direction 110a. That is, as the tilt angle of the first top surface 221 increases, the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 can quickly move away from the first top surface 221, thereby further reducing the influence of the first top surface 221 on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110. The airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 can quickly leave the first top surface 221 and diffuse upward. When the wind speed and air volume of the first air outlet 110 are slow, the Coanda effect can still be reduced, and precise air delivery can be achieved.

[0059] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The angle between the first top surface 221 and the first air outlet direction 110a is α, which satisfies: 8°≤α≤10°.

[0060] In the above scheme, since the angle between the first top surface 221 and the first air outlet direction 110a meets the above range, on the one hand, the guiding effect of the first top surface 221 on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 can be reduced, so that the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 can flow in a predetermined direction, thereby helping to deliver air accurately. On the other hand, it helps to improve the structural strength and reduce the occurrence of stress concentration at the first top surface 221. At the same time, the connection between the first top surface 221 and other interior components of the vehicle (such as the center console and the windshield) is more natural, and it can be better integrated into the overall rigid frame, so that the instrument panel assembly can maintain structural integrity when subjected to lateral or longitudinal impact forces, further improving the safety and durability of the vehicle interior.

[0061] Alternatively, α can be 8°, 9°, or 10°.

[0062] It is understandable that the first air outlet 110 is surrounded by an annular surface that extends in two directions, one of which is the circumference of the annular surface and the other is the first air outlet direction 110a. When the first top surface 221 is a curved surface, the angle between the first top surface 221 and the first air outlet direction 110a can be the angle between the tangent of any position of the first top surface 221 and the first air outlet direction 110a.

[0063] When the first top surface 221 is a plane, the angle between the first top surface 221 and the first air outlet direction 110a can be the angle between the plane and its extension surface and the first air outlet direction 110a.

[0064] In other embodiments, the first top surface 221 is configured as an arcuate surface.

[0065] In the above solutions, the curved surface can guide the airflow to extend naturally along the curved surface through changes in curvature, so that the airflow forms a fan-shaped diffusion effect when it leaves the top surface. For example, a convex curved surface can make the airflow spread upward at a gentle angle, avoiding the discomfort caused by direct airflow, while covering a larger area of ​​the driving and riding area, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0066] In addition, the continuous curvature of the arc surface can reduce the impact point between the airflow and the top edge, thus avoiding the "whistling" sound generated by vortices.

[0067] In other words, when the first top surface is an arc-shaped surface, the flat first top surface 221 can cause the first top surface 221 to deviate quickly from the first air outlet direction 110a. That is to say, as the tilt angle of the first top surface 221 increases, the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 can quickly move away from the first top surface 221, thereby further reducing the influence of the first top surface 221 on the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110. The airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 can quickly leave the first top surface 221 and diffuse upward. When the wind speed and air volume of the first air outlet 110 are relatively slow, the Coanda effect can still be reduced, and precise air delivery can be achieved.

[0068] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connecting part 220 is also provided with a second air outlet 222, which has a second air outlet direction 222a. That is to say, the second air outlet 222 can provide airflow in another direction, which, together with the first air outlet 110, forms a compound angle air supply, which helps to improve the air supply effect and improve comfort.

[0069] The second air outlet direction 222a intersects with the first air outlet direction 110a. The second air outlet 222 is adjacent to the first top surface 221 and located in front of the first top surface 221. It can be understood that since the second air outlet 222 is located in front of the first top surface 221 and has a different air delivery angle than the first air outlet 110, the combined angle air delivery of the first air outlet 110 and the second air outlet 222 can achieve three-dimensional airflow coverage. At the same time, the airflow of the second air outlet 222 can guide the airflow of the first air outlet 110 to a certain extent, so that the airflow blows more accurately to the driver and passengers, improving comfort.

[0070] In the above scheme, the airflow from the second air outlet 222 can push the airflow from the first air outlet 110 upward to diffuse, reduce the interference from the first top surface 221, and further improve the air delivery accuracy.

[0071] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The instrument panel assembly also includes an air vent assembly 300, which is located below the main instrument panel 100. Understandably, placing the air vent assembly 300 below the main instrument panel 100 utilizes the unused space between the instrument panel and the cockpit floor, avoiding the occupation of the driver and passenger activity area or affecting the layout of components such as the central control screen and storage compartments, thus making the interior space planning more compact.

[0072] Meanwhile, the design hidden under the main dashboard 100 avoids the air vents from being exposed and affecting the interior aesthetics. It also makes it easy to decorate with trim panels or grilles, integrating with the overall shape of the dashboard and enhancing the overall integrity and premium feel of the interior design.

[0073] In addition, the evaporator or heater of the air conditioning system is located below the main instrument panel 100, which shortens the distance of the air duct from the air conditioning unit to the air outlet, reduces energy loss during airflow transmission, and improves air delivery efficiency.

[0074] The air outlet assembly 300 includes a main air duct 310, a first sub-air duct 320, and a second sub-air duct 330. It can be understood that disassembling the air outlet assembly 300 into the main air duct 310 and the sub-air ducts forms a "general-specific" structure, facilitating modular assembly during manufacturing. The main air duct 310 can be uniformly processed, while the first and second sub-air ducts 320 and 330 are customized according to the position and direction of different air outlets, reducing mold development costs and improving assembly efficiency.

[0075] The main air duct 310 serves as the main air intake channel, and the total air volume can be adjusted by the cross-sectional size or the damper. The first sub-air duct 320 and the second sub-air duct 330 then deliver the airflow to the first air outlet 110 and the second air outlet 222 respectively, thereby achieving air volume control of multiple air outlets.

[0076] One end of the first sub-duct 320 is connected to the main duct 310, and the other end is connected to the first air outlet 110. One end of the second sub-duct 330 is connected to the main duct 310, and the other end is connected to the second air outlet 222.

[0077] In the above scheme, the first sub-duct 320 is connected to the first air outlet 110 separately, which can optimize its air supply volume in a targeted manner, thereby helping to improve the air supply accuracy of the first air outlet 110. The second sub-duct 330 is independently connected to the second air outlet 222, which makes it easy to design the duct bending angle and cross-sectional shape according to its front layout position and air supply angle, ensuring that the airflow is accurately delivered to the target area. At the same time, it is easy to change the air supply volume of the first air outlet 110 and the second air outlet 222 simultaneously when the first air outlet 110 and the second air outlet 222 are discharging air at the same time, so as to achieve precise air supply.

[0078] In addition, by placing the second air outlet 222 in the connecting part 220 and adjacent to the first top surface 221, the space of the connecting area between the main instrument panel 100 and the sub-instrument panel 200 is fully utilized, eliminating the need to open up new installation locations and making the instrument panel component structure more compact.

[0079] Meanwhile, the two air outlets are concentrated in the connection section 220 area, which facilitates the integrated layout of air conditioning pipes and wiring harnesses. Pipes and wiring harnesses can be laid in a concealed manner through the space inside the connection section 220, reducing intersections and tangles, lowering assembly complexity, and improving system reliability and maintenance convenience.

[0080] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The dashboard assembly also includes a trim panel 400 adapted to cover the air vent assembly 300. The trim panel 400 is positioned above the air vent assembly 300 and along the vehicle's longitudinal direction X, between the first air vent 110 and the second air vent 222.

[0081] In the above solution, the decorative panel 400 covers the air vent assembly 300, which can hide the internal air ducts, dampers and other mechanical structures, and prevent exposed parts from affecting the interior texture. For example, by covering up the complex air duct interfaces and fixing clips, the area below the dashboard presents a simpler flat or streamlined design.

[0082] Meanwhile, the decorative panel 400, located between the first air outlet 110 and the second air outlet 222, serves as a physical separation surface for airflow, preventing direct collisions between the airflows from the two outlets and thus avoiding turbulence. For example, when the first air outlet 110 sends air backward and the second air outlet 222 sends air upward, the decorative panel 400 can buffer and guide the airflow at the first air outlet 110, reducing the likelihood of direct collisions between the airflows at the first air outlet 110 and the second air outlet 222, thus helping to make the airflow distribution area more precise.

[0083] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The upper side of the decorative panel 400 has a second top surface 410, which is parallel to the first air outlet direction 110a.

[0084] In the above scheme, when the second top surface 410 is parallel to the first air outlet direction 110a, the upper surface of the decorative panel 400 can serve as an "extended guide surface" for the airflow. For example, when the airflow blown out of the first air outlet 110 flows along the second top surface 410, the parallel surface will not interfere with the airflow in the vertical direction, allowing the airflow to maintain a predetermined angle and continue to flow, which helps to increase the air delivery distance.

[0085] Meanwhile, the parallel design avoids vortices formed by airflow colliding with the top surface, which helps reduce the loss of kinetic energy of the airflow, thereby increasing the air volume obtained in the target area.

[0086] In some other embodiments, the first air outlet 110 is provided with a first grille 112, and the second air outlet 222 is provided with a second grille 222b.

[0087] In the above scheme, the first grille 112 and the second grille 222b can respectively achieve air delivery in different directions through different separation angles. At the same time, the first grille 112 and the second grille 222b divide the originally concentrated air column into several fine streams. On the one hand, it can reduce the air flow rate, making the feel softer when blowing towards the human body, improving the uniformity of wind speed on the skin surface, and avoiding local strong wind stimulation.

[0088] On the other hand, the first grille 112 and the second grille 222b with different tilt angles can divide a single airflow into an intersecting airflow network, further increasing the coverage area of ​​the airflow, expanding the air delivery area, and further improving the user experience.

[0089] Understandably, the fine streams separated by the first grille 112 and the second grille 222b can better adapt to the complex flow field inside the vehicle (such as air conditioning recirculation and window leakage). When the main airflow is disturbed, the interaction between the fine streams can quickly fill the air delivery blind spot and improve the air delivery stability.

[0090] When airflow passes through the grille, the tiny protrusions on the surfaces of the first grille 112 and the second grille 222b can actively induce boundary layer separation, preventing the airflow from generating strong vortices at the edge of the air outlet and reducing abnormal noise at the air outlet.

[0091] In addition, the mesh structure of the first grille 112 and the second grille 222b can prevent foreign objects such as fingers, coins, and pens from entering the air duct and avoid damage to the fan blades.

[0092] Secondly, embodiments of this application disclose a vehicle including a dashboard assembly of any of the above embodiments.
