Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to instrument panel assemblies, body components, and vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] The instrument panel assembly is an assembly unit in the car cabin that integrates structural support, functional integration and decoration. It covers the lateral area from in front of the steering wheel to the passenger side. The instrument panel assembly includes the instrument panel body and the glove box. The glove box is usually located on the passenger side and connected to the instrument panel body. The glove box is usually equipped with a lock, which is used to open or close the glove box.

[0003] In the prior art, a glove box assembly is provided, including a box body and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a lock cylinder, a first locking rod structure, a second locking rod structure, and a pull member. The lock cylinder is used to cause the first locking rod structure and the second locking rod structure to move towards each other or away from each other, thereby realizing the separation or insertion of the box body from the dashboard. The lock cylinder and the first locking rod structure are spaced apart on the box body. The lock cylinder is connected to the first locking rod structure through the pull member. The box body has a first receiving cavity. A portion of the inner wall of the first receiving cavity is recessed towards the outer side of the box body to form an enlarged groove structure. The outer wall of the enlarged groove structure is located between the lock cylinder and the first locking rod structure.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, the various components of the lock structure are connected to the box body, and the lock structure occupies the storage space of the box body, resulting in a small storage space in the box body and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to provide an instrument panel assembly to solve the problem of increasing glove box storage space. A second objective is to provide a vehicle body component. A third objective is to provide a vehicle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides an instrument panel assembly, which includes an instrument panel body, a housing, and a locking assembly. The instrument panel body has a mounting groove formed therein. At least a portion of the housing is disposed within the mounting groove, and the housing has a locking groove. The housing and the instrument panel body enclose a storage space. At least a portion of the locking assembly is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body, and the locking assembly can cooperate with the locking groove to lock or unlock the housing and the instrument panel body.

[0008] According to the aforementioned technical means, at least a portion of the locking assembly is fixedly connected to the dashboard body, and the housing is provided with a locking groove. The locking assembly can cooperate with the locking groove, enabling the housing to be locked or unlocked. Since the locking assembly is fixedly connected to the dashboard body, compared to related technologies where the locking assembly is located on the housing, there is no need to provide a storage space on the housing to accommodate the locking assembly. This avoids the locking assembly occupying storage space in the housing, thereby increasing the storage space of the housing and ensuring a better user experience.

[0009] In some embodiments, the locking assembly includes a locking lever mechanism and a locking cylinder mechanism, the locking lever mechanism being fixedly connected to the dashboard body; the locking cylinder mechanism being fixedly connected to the dashboard body, the locking cylinder mechanism being adapted to drive at least a portion of the locking lever mechanism into or out of a locking groove to lock or unlock the housing and the dashboard body.

[0010] According to the above technical means, the locking lever mechanism is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body, and the locking cylinder mechanism is also fixedly connected to the instrument panel body. In this way, when the instrument panel body deforms, the locking lever mechanism and the locking cylinder mechanism can move together with the deformation of the instrument panel body, and the relative positions of the locking lever mechanism and the locking cylinder mechanism remain unchanged, thereby ensuring the effective driving of the locking lever mechanism by the locking cylinder mechanism, thus making the locking or unlocking function of the housing and the instrument panel body reliable.

[0011] In some embodiments, the locking lever mechanism includes a sleeve and a lever body. The sleeve is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body. The lever body is at least partially disposed within the sleeve and is throttle-connected to the locking cylinder mechanism. It is adapted to slide along the axial direction of the sleeve under the drive of the locking cylinder mechanism to extend into or out of the locking groove.

[0012] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the sleeve is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body, and the rod is at least partially disposed within the sleeve. This ensures that the sleeve is stably installed on the instrument panel body and provides support and guidance for the rod, allowing the rod to slide stably along the sleeve's axial direction. In this way, the locking rod mechanism is stably installed as a whole, and the rod's movement is stable, enabling the rod to stably extend into or out of the locking groove.

[0013] In some embodiments, the locking groove includes a first locking groove and a second locking groove, which are respectively formed on opposite sides of the housing; the sleeve includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve, both of which are fixedly connected to the instrument panel body; the rod includes a first rod and a second rod, at least a portion of the first rod is disposed in the first sleeve, at least a portion of the second rod is disposed in the second sleeve, and the first rod and the second rod are tractively connected to the lock cylinder mechanism; the lock cylinder mechanism is adapted to drive at least a portion of the first rod to extend into or out of the first locking groove; the lock cylinder mechanism is also adapted to drive at least a portion of the second rod to extend into or out of the second locking groove.

[0014] According to the above technical means, since the first locking groove and the second locking groove are respectively formed on the opposite sides of the box body, and the rod body includes the first rod body and the second rod body, at least part of the first rod body is disposed in the first sleeve, and at least part of the second rod body is disposed in the second sleeve, so that the opposite sides of the box body can be locked by the first rod body and the second rod body respectively, avoiding uneven force caused by locking one side of the box body, thereby making the box body more stable when locked.

[0015] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism further includes a transmission component, the first rod is connected to the lock cylinder mechanism, the transmission component is tractively connected between the first rod and the second rod, and the transmission component is adapted to move the first rod and the second rod in opposite directions.

[0016] According to the aforementioned technical means, since the first rod is connected to the lock cylinder mechanism, and the transmission component is connected between the first and second rods, when the lock cylinder mechanism drives the first rod, the second rod can move in the opposite direction to the first rod under the action of the transmission component. In this way, a single lock cylinder mechanism can simultaneously drive both the first and second rods, allowing them to simultaneously extend into or out of the locking groove, thus making the locking and unlocking operation of the box more convenient.

[0017] In some embodiments, the transmission component includes a first gear, a first rack, and a second rack, the first rack and the second rack being located on opposite sides of the first gear and meshing with the first gear respectively, a first rod being connected to the first rack, and a second rod being connected to the second rack.

[0018] According to the aforementioned technical means, the first and second racks mesh with the first gear respectively, and the first rod is connected to the first rack, while the second rod is connected to the second rack. In this way, the first and second rods can move in opposite directions simply by meshing with the first gear, resulting in a simple structure and reliable function. Furthermore, since the first and second racks always move along the fixed tangential direction of the first gear, the first and second rods can move only along their own axial direction, avoiding radial offset. This allows the first and second rods to slide along the axial directions of the first and second sleeves respectively, thus ensuring stable movement of the first and second rods.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first rod includes a sliding section, a transition section, and a locking section. At least a portion of the sliding section is disposed within the first sleeve. The portion of the sliding section extending out of the first sleeve is connected to the transition section. The locking section is connected to the transition section, and the extending direction of the locking section is toward the first locking groove, so that at least a portion of the locking section is adapted to extend into or out of the first locking groove.

[0020] According to the above technical means, the part of the sliding section extending out of the first sleeve is connected to the transition section, and the locking section is connected to the transition section, so that the sliding section and the locking section are connected through the transition section, thereby allowing the locking section and the sliding section to be offset. In this way, while avoiding interference between the housing and the sliding section, it is ensured that the extension direction of the locking section is towards the first locking groove, and the structural design is reasonable.

[0021] In some embodiments, the lock cylinder mechanism includes: a fixed base, a lock body, and a transmission component. The fixed base is fixedly connected to the dashboard body. The lock body is movably connected to the fixed base and can move toward or away from the fixed base. The lock body is provided with a third rack. The transmission component includes a second gear and a third gear, with the second gear meshing with the third rack. The locking section is provided with a plurality of drive teeth along its length direction, with the drive teeth meshing with the third gear, so that the locking section can be driven to extend into or out of the first locking groove by the movement of the lock body.

[0022] According to the above technical means, since the lock body is movably connected to the fixed seat, the lock body is provided with a third rack, and the transmission component includes a second gear and a third gear. The second gear meshes with the third rack, and the driving teeth of the locking section mesh with the third gear. In this way, by driving the lock body to move relative to the fixed seat, the locking section can be inserted into or extended out of the first locking groove. The lock cylinder mechanism is easy to operate and provides a good user experience.

[0023] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle body assembly, which includes the instrument panel assembly of the first aspect.

[0024] Since the vehicle body components provided in this application include the dashboard assembly in the first aspect, they can solve the same technical problems as the aforementioned handles and achieve the same technical effects, so they will not be described again here.

[0025] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle that includes the body components described in the second aspect.

[0026] Since the vehicle provided in this application includes the body components in the second aspect, it can solve the same technical problems of the aforementioned body components and achieve the same technical effects, it will not be described again here. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0038] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly, for example, as a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, when describing pipelines, the terms "connected" and "linked" as used in this application have the meaning of establishing electrical connection. The specific meaning needs to be understood in conjunction with the context.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0040] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0041] This application provides a vehicle. The vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, a range-extended electric vehicle, a gasoline vehicle, etc.

[0042] The vehicle includes a vehicle chassis, powertrain, and body components. The body components include a body frame and an instrument panel assembly, which is mounted on the front side of the front passenger compartment of the body frame. For example, the front passenger compartment of the body frame has a steering support structure, and the instrument panel assembly is connected to the steering support, thereby covering the front area of ​​the front passenger compartment.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the instrument panel assembly includes an instrument panel body 1, a housing 2, and a locking assembly. The instrument panel body 1 has a mounting groove 11. At least a portion of the housing 2 is disposed within the mounting groove 11, and the housing 2 has a locking groove. The housing 2 and the instrument panel body 1 enclose a storage space. For example, the mounting groove 11 is located on the passenger side of the instrument panel body, and the mounting groove 11 is recessed away from the passenger side of the instrument panel body 1. As another example, the housing 2 has an opening above the vehicle chassis, and the mounting groove 11 has a sealing plate at the opening position of the housing 2. The sealing plate cooperates with the housing 2 to form a closed storage space.

[0044] At least a portion of the locking assembly is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1. The locking assembly can engage with a locking groove to lock or unlock the housing 2 and the instrument panel body 1. Optionally, the engagement of the locking assembly with the locking groove can include plugging, snapping, or threaded connection, etc., which are not limited to the embodiments of this application.

[0045] It should be noted that locking the housing 2 and the instrument panel body 1 can be understood as fixing the relative positions of the housing 2 and the instrument panel body 1; unlocking the housing 2 and the instrument panel body 1 can be understood as allowing the housing 2 to move relative to the instrument panel body 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the locking assembly is fixedly connected to the dashboard body 1, and the housing 2 is provided with a locking groove. The locking assembly can cooperate with the locking groove, enabling the housing 2 to be locked or unlocked. Since the locking assembly is fixedly connected to the dashboard body 1, compared to related technologies where the locking assembly is located on the housing 2, there is no need to provide a storage space on the housing to accommodate the locking assembly. This avoids the locking assembly occupying storage space in the housing 2, thereby increasing the storage space of the housing 2 and ensuring a better user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the lock assembly includes a locking lever mechanism 3 and a lock cylinder mechanism 4. The locking lever mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1; the lock cylinder mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1 and is adapted to drive at least a portion of the locking lever mechanism 3 into or out of the locking groove to lock or unlock the housing 2 and the instrument panel body 1.

[0048] Since the instrument panel body 1 is a large plate, it is prone to deformation during installation or use. In this embodiment, the instrument panel body 1 is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1 via a locking rod mechanism 3, and the locking cylinder mechanism 4 is also fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1. In this way, when the instrument panel body 1 deforms, the locking rod mechanism 3 and the locking cylinder mechanism 4 can shift together with the deformation of the instrument panel body 1, while maintaining their relative positions. This ensures that the locking cylinder mechanism 4 effectively drives the locking rod mechanism 3, thereby making the locking or unlocking functions of the housing 2 and the instrument panel body 1 reliable.

[0049] In some embodiments, the locking lever mechanism 3 includes a sleeve 31 and a lever 32, with the sleeve 31 fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1. For example, the sleeve 31 is provided with a connecting plate, which is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1 by bolts, thereby fixing the sleeve 31 to the instrument panel body 1.

[0050] Furthermore, the rod 32 is at least partially disposed within the sleeve 31 and is drive-connected to the lock cylinder mechanism 4. At least a portion of the rod 32 is adapted to slide axially along the sleeve 31 under the drive of the lock cylinder mechanism 4 to extend into or out of the locking groove. For example, the length of the rod 32 is greater than the length of the sleeve 31, and a section of the rod 32 extends out of the sleeve 31, with the extended section of the rod 32 being drive-connected to the lock cylinder mechanism 4.

[0051] In this embodiment, the sleeve 31 is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1, and the rod 32 is at least partially disposed within the sleeve 31. This ensures that the sleeve 31 is stably installed on the instrument panel body 1 and provides support and guidance for the rod 32, allowing the rod 32 to slide stably along the axial direction of the sleeve 31. This ensures the overall stability of the locking rod mechanism 3 and the stable movement of the rod 32, enabling the rod 32 to stably extend into or out of the locking groove.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the locking rod mechanism 3 includes a fixed rod and a movable rod. The fixed rod is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1, and the fixed rod has a connecting hole along its axial direction. One end of the movable rod is inserted into the connecting hole, and the movable rod is adapted to slide along the axial direction of the connecting hole under the drive of the locking cylinder mechanism 4 to extend into or out of the locking groove.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the locking groove includes a first locking groove 21 and a second locking groove 22, which are respectively formed on opposite sides of the housing 2. For example, the housing 2 includes parallel and opposite side plates, and the surfaces of the two side plates facing away from each other are provided with protrusions. The two protrusions are recessed into the interior of the housing 2 to form the first locking groove 21 and the second locking groove 22.

[0054] Additionally, the sleeve 31 includes a first sleeve 311 and a second sleeve 312, both of which are fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1. For example, the first sleeve 311 and the second sleeve 312 are located on the side of the instrument panel body 1 away from the passenger compartment, and the axial direction of the first sleeve 311 and the second sleeve 312 is parallel to the line connecting the first locking groove 21 and the second locking groove 22.

[0055] Furthermore, the rod body 32 includes a first rod body 321 and a second rod body 322. At least a portion of the first rod body 321 is disposed within the first sleeve 311, and at least a portion of the second rod body 322 is disposed within the second sleeve 312. The first rod body 321 and the second rod body 322 are connected to the lock cylinder mechanism 4 in a transmission manner. The lock cylinder mechanism 4 is adapted to drive at least a portion of the first locking rod to extend into or out of the first locking groove 21. The lock cylinder mechanism 4 is also adapted to drive at least a portion of the second locking rod to extend into or out of the second locking groove 22.

[0056] For example, one end of the first rod 321 is disposed inside the first sleeve 311, and the other end extends out of the first sleeve 311 and extends toward the first locking groove 21; the second rod 322 can be disposed with reference to the first rod 321, and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Since the first locking groove 21 and the second locking groove 22 are respectively formed on opposite sides of the housing 2, and the rod 32 includes a first rod 321 and a second rod 322, at least a portion of the first rod 321 is disposed in the first sleeve 311, and at least a portion of the second rod 322 is disposed in the second sleeve 312, the opposite sides of the housing 2 can be locked by the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 respectively, avoiding uneven force caused by locking one side of the housing 2, thereby making the housing 2 more stable when locked.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the lock cylinder mechanism 4 is provided, and the lock rod mechanism 3 also includes a transmission component 33. The first rod 321 is connected to the lock cylinder mechanism 4, and the transmission component 33 is drivingly connected between the first rod 321 and the second rod 322. The transmission component 33 is adapted to make the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 move in opposite directions. That is, the lock cylinder mechanism can transmit power to the second rod in sequence through the first rod and the transmission component, so that the second rod moves synchronously in opposite directions with the first rod.

[0059] For example, the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 are axially aligned and spaced apart. The transmission component 33 is located at the spaced position between the first rod 321 and the second rod 322. The ends of the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 that are close to each other are connected to the transmission component 33. The first rod moves away from the second rod, and the second rod moves away from the first rod.

[0060] Since the first rod 321 is connected to the lock cylinder mechanism 4, and the transmission component 33 is connected between the first rod 321 and the second rod 322, when the lock cylinder mechanism 4 drives the first rod 321, the second rod 322 can move in the opposite direction to the first rod 321 under the action of the transmission component 33. In this way, the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 can be driven simultaneously by a single lock cylinder mechanism 4, so that the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 can simultaneously extend into or out of the locking groove, thereby making the locking or unlocking operation of the box 2 more convenient.

[0061] In some other embodiments, there are two lock cylinder mechanisms 4, which are respectively connected to the first rod 321 and the second rod 322. The two lock cylinder mechanisms 4 drive the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 respectively, so that the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 extend into or out of the first locking groove 21 and the second locking groove 22 respectively.

[0062] In some embodiments, the transmission component 33 includes a first gear, a first rack, and a second rack. The first rack and the second rack are located on opposite sides of the first gear and mesh with it respectively. A first rod 321 is connected to the first rack, and a second rod 322 is connected to the second rack. The connection method between the first rod 321 and the first rack, and the connection method between the second rod 322 and the second rack, can be the same or different; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0063] For example, the connection method between the first rod 321 and the first rack, and the connection method between the second rod 322 and the second rack, can be riveting, welding, threaded connection, etc. For example, the first rod 321 and the first rack can be an integral structure, and the second rod 322 and the second rack can also be an integral structure; this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0064] In addition, the transmission component 33 also includes a mounting housing, which is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1. The first gear is disposed in the mounting housing and rotatably connected to the mounting housing. The mounting housing is provided with sliding grooves on both sides opposite to the first gear. The first rack and the second rack are respectively disposed in the sliding grooves and mesh with the first gear.

[0065] In this embodiment, a first rack and a second rack mesh with a first gear, respectively, and a first rod 321 is connected to the first rack, while a second rod 322 is connected to the second rack. This allows the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 to move in opposite directions simply by meshing with the first gear, resulting in a simple structure and reliable function. Furthermore, since the first and second racks always move along a fixed tangential direction of the first gear, the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 can move only along their own axial direction, avoiding radial offset. This allows the first rod 321 and the second rod 322 to slide axially along the first sleeve 311 and the second sleeve 312, respectively, ensuring stable movement of the first rod 321 and the second rod 322.

[0066] In some other embodiments, the transmission component 33 includes a mounting housing and a connecting rod, the middle of which is rotatably connected to the mounting housing, one end of which is connected to the first rod body 321 and the other end of which is connected to the second rod body 322.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first rod body 321 includes a sliding section 321a, a transition section 321b, and a locking section 321c. At least a portion of the sliding section 321a is disposed within the first sleeve 311. The portion of the sliding section 321a extending out of the first sleeve 311 is connected to the transition section 321b. The locking section 321c is connected to the transition section 321b, and the extending direction of the locking section 321c is toward the first locking groove 21, so that at least a portion of the locking section 321c is suitable for extending into or out of the first locking groove 21.

[0068] For example, the sliding section 321a, the transition section 321b, and the locking section 321c are a single integrated structure connected in sequence. The length directions of the sliding section 321a and the locking section 321c are parallel, and the extension direction of the locking section 321c away from the transition section 321b is the same as the extension direction of the sliding section 321a away from the transition section 321b.

[0069] In this embodiment, the portion of the sliding section 321a extending out of the first sleeve 311 is connected to the transition section 321b, and the locking section 321c is connected to the transition section 321b. This allows the sliding section 321a and the locking section 321c to be connected through the transition section 321b, thereby enabling the locking section 321c and the sliding section 321a to be offset. In this way, while avoiding interference between the housing 2 and the sliding section 321a, it is ensured that the extension direction of the locking section 321c is towards the first locking groove 21, resulting in a reasonable structural design.

[0070] It should be noted that the structural design of the second rod 322 can refer to the specific description of the first rod 321 above, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the lock cylinder mechanism 4 includes a fixed base 41, a lock body 42, and a transmission component 43. The fixed base 41 is fixedly connected to the instrument panel body 1; the lock body 42 is movably connected to the fixed base 41 and can move toward or away from the fixed base 41, and the lock body 42 is provided with a third rack 421. For example, the fixed base 41 is provided with a guide boss, and the lock body 42 is provided with a connecting groove. The lock body 42 is fitted onto the guide boss through the connecting groove, and the lock body 42 can slide along the extending direction of the guide boss. Furthermore, a spring is provided between the lock body 42 and the guide boss, allowing the relative position of the lock body 42 and the fixed base 41 to elastically return to its original position.

[0072] In addition, the transmission component 43 includes a second gear and a third gear, the second gear meshing with the third rack 421; the locking section 321c is provided with a plurality of driving teeth along its length direction, the driving teeth meshing with the third gear, so that the locking section 321c can be driven to extend into or out of the first locking groove 21 by the movement of the lock body 42.

[0073] For example, the transmission component 43 also includes a transmission body, which is cylindrical, with a second gear and a third gear connected to its two ends respectively, and the transmission body is rotatably connected to the fixed base.

[0074] When the lock body 42 moves away from the fixed base 41, the third rack 421 drives the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the third gear to rotate. The rotation of the third gear causes the locking section 321c to extend into the first locking groove 21, thereby locking the box 2. When the lock body 42 moves toward the fixed base 41, the third rack 421 drives the second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the third gear to rotate. The rotation of the third gear causes the locking section 321c to extend out of the first locking groove 21, thereby unlocking the box 2.

[0075] Since the lock body 42 is movably connected to the fixed base 41, the lock body 42 is provided with a third rack 421, and the transmission component 43 includes a second gear and a third gear. The second gear meshes with the third rack 421, and the driving teeth of the locking section 321c mesh with the third gear. In this way, by driving the lock body 42 to move relative to the fixed base 41, the locking section 321c can be inserted into or extended out of the first locking groove 21.
