Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crossbeam assembly technology, and in particular to an automotive steering column bracket mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] As the framework of the dashboard, the instrument panel beam mainly supports the instrument panel system. At the same time, because it is connected to the A-pillar, front bulkhead, and central tunnel, it also contributes to the overall rigidity of the vehicle body.

[0003] As society places increasingly higher demands on vehicle safety and lightweighting, the strength and lightweight structure of the instrument panel crossbeam assembly are receiving more and more attention. However, the existing instrument panel crossbeam assembly has a relatively complex overall structure and often uses thick materials to achieve structural reinforcement. In particular, the installation position of the steering column mounting bracket often relies on the use of multi-layer welding or overall thickening of the bracket wall to ensure rigidity and strength. Although the performance indicators are met, there are still problems of relatively redundant structure and high cost, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

A connecting mechanism is provided on both sides of the main support and is used to fix the main support.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes: The first IP frame mounting bracket is fixedly installed on both sides of the main bracket. The first IP frame mounting bracket is used to connect the A-pillar of the vehicle body and the front side panel. Side panel mounting holes are opened on both sides of the main bracket.

[0007] Preferably, a central channel connecting bracket is symmetrically fixed on the main bracket. The central channel connecting bracket is used to connect the central channel of the vehicle body.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-2 The image shows a car steering column bracket mounting structure.

[0018] Example 1: The automotive steering column bracket mounting structure includes a main bracket 1, a steering column mounting bracket 2, a reinforcing member 3, fixing bolts 4, and a connecting mechanism. The steering column mounting bracket 2 is fixedly mounted on the main bracket 1. The reinforcing member 3 is mounted on the steering column mounting bracket 2. The reinforcing member 3 is fixedly connected to the steering column mounting bracket 2 by the fixing bolts 4. The connecting mechanism is located on both sides of the main bracket 1 to fix the main bracket 1. By using the integrated design of the main bracket 1 and the steering column mounting bracket 2, and with the fixing bolts 4 to fix the reinforcing member 3 to the steering column mounting bracket 2, the rigidity of the overall structure is effectively improved. By superimposing the reinforcing member 3 on key stress areas such as the steering column mounting point and the body connection point, the local torsional and impact resistance is specifically enhanced, avoiding the risk of failure caused by local weakness. At the same time, it reduces cost and complexity. The integrated structure reduces the number of parts, thereby reducing the costs of mold development, procurement, and inventory management. The assembly process has also been simplified, combining multiple installations into one, which not only shortens the production line cycle and improves production efficiency, but also reduces the risk of accumulated errors due to the assembly of multiple parts. Furthermore, the integrated design can actively remove redundant materials while ensuring strength and safety, achieving the goal of lightweighting, which ultimately helps to reduce vehicle energy consumption.

[0019] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a first IP frame mounting bracket 5, which is fixedly mounted on both sides of the main bracket 1. The first IP frame mounting bracket 5 is used to connect the A-pillar of the vehicle body and the front side panel. Side mounting holes are provided on both sides of the main bracket 1. The first IP frame mounting bracket 5 is connected to the A-pillar of the vehicle body and the front side panel with high strength through the precisely positioned mounting holes. The side mounting holes on both sides of the main bracket 1 further enhance the connection rigidity with the side structure of the vehicle body. Through the connection with the A-pillar and the front panel, the crossbeam is tightly integrated with the front structure of the vehicle body, which greatly improves the overall rigidity and torsional strength of the vehicle body. This is the basis for ensuring collision safety and handling stability, and ensures that the installation position of the entire instrument panel assembly in the vehicle body is accurate. This provides a reliable benchmark for the installation of all subsequent components (such as instruments, air conditioning, and airbags).

[0020] Furthermore, a central channel connecting bracket 6 is symmetrically fixed on the main bracket 1. The central channel connecting bracket 6 is used to connect the central channel of the vehicle body. An air conditioning mounting plate 7 is fixed between the central channel connecting brackets 6. The air conditioning mounting plate 7 has symmetrical air conditioning mounting holes for fixing the air conditioning assembly. The central channel connecting bracket 6 provides intermediate support, effectively transferring the load in the middle of the crossbeam to the central channel area with the highest rigidity of the vehicle body. This prevents the crossbeam from sagging or resonating in the middle when subjected to loads (such as airbag deployment impact, vibration from bumpy roads), and improves the natural frequency of the system. The air conditioning mounting plate 7 provides a direct and stable mounting platform for the air conditioning assembly, avoiding the need to design a separate mounting structure for the air conditioning, simplifying the assembly process, and ensuring the reliability and low noise of the air conditioning system in the vehicle vibration environment.

[0021] In Embodiment 2, based on Embodiment 1, the connecting mechanism further includes a second IP frame mounting bracket 8. The second IP frame mounting bracket 8 is fixedly mounted on the central channel connecting bracket 6. The second IP frame mounting bracket 8 is used to connect the central channel of the vehicle body. The second IP frame mounting bracket 8 forms multiple connection points in the critical central channel area, which can distribute the force more evenly to the vehicle body, avoid stress concentration, enhance the durability and fatigue resistance of the structure, and improve local strength. It also further restricts the degree of freedom of the middle part of the crossbeam, ensuring that the components installed nearby (such as the air conditioning system) work more smoothly.

[0022] Furthermore, an instrument cover plate 9 is fixedly installed on the main bracket 1. The instrument cover plate 9 is used to connect the instrument panel. The instrument cover plate 9 ensures that the surface of the instrument panel is flat and free from shaking and abnormal noise, thus improving the cabin quality.

[0023] Furthermore, a passenger airbag mounting bracket 10 is fixedly installed on the main bracket 1. The passenger airbag mounting bracket 10 is used to connect the passenger airbag assembly and restrict the deployment direction of the passenger airbag. The passenger airbag mounting bracket 10 is not only a fixing point, but it can also accurately restrict and guide the deployment direction and deployment shape of the airbag to ensure that the airbag can deploy quickly and safely according to the design path when a collision occurs, which is directly related to the effectiveness of the occupant protection system.

[0024] Furthermore, an air conditioning mounting bracket 11 is fixedly installed on the main bracket 1. The air conditioning mounting bracket 11 is used to fix the pipes and wiring harnesses of the air conditioning system. The air conditioning mounting bracket 11 reliably fixes the soft pipes and wiring harnesses to the crossbeam, avoiding interference or friction with other components during vehicle operation, which would cause noise or damage and improve system reliability.

[0025] Furthermore, a HUD connection bracket 12 is fixedly installed on the main bracket 1. The HUD connection bracket 12 is used to connect the head-up display. The HUD connection bracket 12 provides an extremely stable installation base for the HUD assembly. Even a slight deformation of the HUD may affect the clarity and stability of the projected image. This bracket ensures that the functions of this high-tech HUD configuration can be perfectly realized, thus improving the driving experience.

[0026] The main bracket 1, together with various auxiliary components, can precisely integrate the installation points of key systems and components such as air conditioning, instrument panel, passenger airbag, HUD and pipelines into one unit. This not only simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and reduces overall costs, but also ensures the reliability of each subsystem's functions. Furthermore, while achieving structural lightweighting, it effectively optimizes the cabin space layout and overall vehicle performance.
