Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive dashboard technology, and in particular to an automotive dashboard mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] There are generally two installation methods for car dashboards: adhesive bonding and mechanical connection. Adhesive bonding offers better sealing and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, but it is highly dependent on the quality of the adhesive. Most adhesives are prone to failure in low or high temperature environments, and adhesive-bonded installations are not easy to disassemble.

[0003] Therefore, traditional car dashboards currently mostly use mechanical structures for installation and connection. However, the connection between the transparent cover and the mounting bracket in the dashboard currently relies on bolts or simple clips, which generally have poor shock resistance.

[0004] Furthermore, while conventional bolt or simple clip connections are more convenient than adhesive methods, they are equally cumbersome. Bolt fixing requires specialized tools for both installation and disassembly, while simple clips have poor stability and shock resistance. Improving stability and shock resistance would require a more complex clip structure design, which often makes installation and disassembly more difficult, affecting maintenance efficiency.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this utility model do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0027] The first aspect of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, adhesive bonding offers better sealing and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, but it is highly dependent on the quality of the adhesive. Most adhesives are prone to failure in low or high temperature environments, and adhesive installation is not easy to disassemble. Therefore, this invention uses a snap-fit ​​connection method to install the transparent cover 102.

[0028] Specifically, the mounting bracket 101 for installing instruments and equipment has an instrument and equipment slot 104 for placing the instruments and equipment, and a transparent cover 102 is installed on top of the instrument and equipment slot 104. A rigid connector 107 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transparent cover 102, and a fixing slot 108 is provided in the rigid connector 107. A retractable fixing strip 106 is provided on the side wall of the instrument and equipment slot 104, and the fixing strip 106 is inserted into the fixing slot 108 to connect the transparent cover 102 and the mounting bracket 101.

[0029] In addition, a sealing strip 103 is provided on the outer wall of the transparent cover 102, and the sealing strip 103 wraps around the rigid connector 107. The sealing strip 103 includes an arc-shaped portion and a straight portion 109, and the rigid connector 107 is located on the straight portion 109 of the sealing strip 103.

[0030] The snap-fit ​​connection method can meet the needs of more extreme temperature environments, and the sealing strip 103 is set to seal the seam and improve the sealing performance.

[0031] Preferably, a metal spring 105 is also provided in the instrument slot 104. The metal spring 105 is located below the fixing strip 106 and is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 101. The mounting bracket 101 is also provided with a deformation groove 114. The metal spring 105 is located in the deformation groove 114 and a gap is left below the metal spring 105.

[0032] The metal spring 105 and the deformation groove 114 form a two-stage buffer mechanism, which absorbs energy through the deformation of the spring when the vehicle vibrates. In addition, when the electromagnet 112 is energized to unlock the latch, the metal spring 105 can also lift the entire transparent cover 102, making it easy to remove the transparent cover 102.

[0033] The second aspect of this utility model is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, traditional connection methods such as ordinary bolts or simple clips each have their drawbacks. Bolt fixing requires special tools for both installation and disassembly, while simple clips have poor stability and shock resistance. To improve stability and shock resistance, the clip structure needs to be designed to be more complex, which often makes installation and disassembly more difficult and affects maintenance efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, a telescopic groove 110 is also provided in the mounting bracket 101, and the fixing strip 106 is slidably connected in the telescopic groove 110.

[0034] The telescopic groove 110 is equipped with a spring 111, and the two ends of the spring 111 are fixedly connected to the inner end of the fixing strip 106 and the bottom of the telescopic groove 110, respectively. In addition, an electromagnet 112 is also provided at the bottom of the telescopic groove 110, and a magnetically attracted metal block 113 is also fixedly connected to the inner end of the fixing strip 106.

[0035] The design incorporates a magnetic attraction control module for the electromagnet 112 and the metal block 113, allowing for remote unlocking via electrical signals, facilitating installation and disassembly. Under normal conditions, the latch is engaged by the spring, requiring no power.

[0036] When disassembly is needed, simply powering the electromagnet 112 will cause it to attract the retaining strip 106, causing it to retract into the telescopic groove 110 and separate from the retaining groove 108, thus disconnecting the transparent cover 102 from the mounting bracket 101. This process is very quick and convenient.

[0037] Compared to traditional structures, this solution uses an electromagnet 112 in conjunction with a metal block 113 to generate magnetic attraction when energized, achieving rapid fixation and separation when de-energized. It combines stability and convenience, and requires no additional tools. In addition, the sealing strip 103 covers the area and the metal spring 105 provides cushioning, significantly improving the assembly efficiency and shock resistance of the instrument panel transparent cover 102.

[0038] In summary, this utility model adopts a snap-fit ​​connection method, which can meet the needs of more extreme temperature environments. The sealing strip 103 is set to seal the seam and improve the sealing performance. The snap-fit ​​uses a fixed clip 106 to engage with the fixed clip groove 108 located in the rigid connector 107. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0039] Additionally, a magnetic attraction control module for the electromagnet 112 and the metal block 113 is designed, allowing remote unlocking via electrical signals for easy installation and disassembly. Under normal conditions, the latch is engaged by the spring, requiring no power. A two-stage buffer mechanism is designed with a metal spring 105 and a deformation groove 114, absorbing energy through deformation when the vehicle vibrates. Furthermore, when the electromagnet 112 is energized to unlock the latch, the metal spring 105 also lifts the entire transparent cover 102, facilitating its removal.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
