Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior parts technology, specifically to an instrument panel combination switch cover assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The instrument panel combination switch cover assembly not only houses the combination switches in the automotive interior system but also constitutes an important part of the instrument panel. In existing technologies, the installation and fixing structure of the combination switches is often quite complex. Typically, the combination switches are directly mounted on the steering column and enclosed by separate upper and lower covers. However, this structure involves a cumbersome assembly process, requiring the combination switches and covers to be installed separately after the steering column is in place. This results in low production efficiency, and the numerous seams between components can easily lead to abnormal noises due to accumulated tolerances, affecting the overall vehicle performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an instrument panel combination switch cover assembly to solve the technical problems of the existing instrument panel combination switch cover assembly structure, which has a complicated assembly process, requires the combination switch and cover to be installed separately after the steering column is installed, resulting in low production efficiency, and many seams between the components, which can easily cause abnormal noise due to the accumulation of tolerances, affecting the performance of the whole vehicle.

[0004] A dashboard combination switch cover assembly includes a cover body installed at a steering wheel mounting hole in the dashboard. The cover body has at least one combination switch mounting cavity for mounting a combination switch. The top of the cover body has a dashboard connecting portion for detachable connection between the cover body and the dashboard. The middle of the cover body has a steering wheel clearance opening for the steering wheel shaft to pass through.

[0005] Preferably, the protective cover body includes a top protective cover and a bottom protective cover arranged vertically. The top protective cover and the bottom protective cover are detachably connected. When the top protective cover and the bottom protective cover are combined, they form the combination switch mounting cavity and the steering wheel clearance opening.

[0006] Preferably, the top cover and the bottom cover are fixed to each other by a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0007] Preferably, the instrument panel connection part is a fixing plate disposed on the top of the cover body, and the fixing plate is evenly distributed with connection holes, which are connected to the interface on the back of the instrument panel.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the bottom cover is provided with a wire harness through-hole.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting cavity of the combination switch is provided with a fixing slot on the side of the wire harness through-hole for fixing the wire harness connected to the combination switch.

[0010] Preferably, both the top cover and the bottom cover are integrally injection molded from engineering plastic, and both the top cover and the bottom cover have textured decorative surfaces.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: by integrating the combination switch mounting cavity, the dashboard connection part and the steering wheel clearance opening into a single cover body, a high degree of modularity is achieved, which brings significant assembly advantages: the assembly can be pre-assembled as an independent module outside the vehicle and then installed on the dashboard as a whole at once, which greatly simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and reduces the risk of dimensional deviations and abnormal noises caused by the separate assembly of multiple parts.

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an instrument panel combination switch cover assembly includes a cover body installed at the steering wheel mounting hole of the instrument panel. The cover body has at least one combination switch mounting cavity 1 for installing the combination switch. The top of the cover body has an instrument panel connecting part 2 for detachable connection between the cover body and the instrument panel. The middle of the cover body has a steering wheel clearance opening 3 for the steering wheel shaft to pass through.

[0018] In this embodiment, the protective cover body includes a top protective cover 5 and a bottom protective cover 6 arranged vertically. The top protective cover 5 and the bottom protective cover 6 are detachable and can be connected. When the top protective cover 5 and the bottom protective cover 6 are closed together, they form a combination switch mounting cavity 1 and a steering wheel clearance opening 3. The design of the top protective cover 5 and the bottom protective cover 6, which are separate from the bottom, makes it very convenient to install the combination switch, connect and fix the wiring harness inside the assembly.

[0019] In this embodiment, the top cover 5 and the bottom cover 6 are fixed to each other by a snap-fit ​​structure, which realizes tool-free quick assembly and separation of the top cover 5 and the bottom cover 6, further improving assembly and maintenance efficiency, while avoiding the increased cost and cumbersome assembly problems caused by using screws.

[0020] In this embodiment, the instrument panel connection part 2 is a fixing plate disposed on the top of the cover body. The fixing plate is evenly distributed with connection holes, which are connected to the interface on the back of the instrument panel.

[0021] In this embodiment, the lower end of the bottom cover 6 is provided with a wire harness through-hole 7.

[0022] In this embodiment, a fixing slot 8 is provided on the side of the wire harness through-hole 7 inside the combination switch mounting cavity 1 for fixing the wire harness connected to the combination switch.

[0023] In this embodiment, both the top cover 5 and the bottom cover 6 are integrally injection molded from engineering plastic, and both the top cover 5 and the bottom cover 6 have textured decorative surfaces.

[0024] Working process and principle: In this embodiment, the main body of the instrument panel combination switch cover assembly is a cover body. The cover body is installed at the steering wheel mounting hole of the instrument panel through the instrument panel connecting part 2 on its top. The combination switch mounting cavity 1 provided on the cover body allows the combination switch to be inserted and fixed in the combination switch mounting cavity 1 from the front or side like a "drawer". The center of the cover body has a steering wheel clearance opening for the steering wheel shaft to pass through, ensuring that the steering wheel can be installed and rotated normally. By integrating the combination switch mounting cavity 1, the instrument panel connecting part 2 and the steering wheel clearance opening 3 into a cover body, a high degree of modularity is achieved, which brings significant assembly advantages. The assembly can be pre-assembled as an independent module outside the vehicle and then installed on the instrument panel as a whole at once.

[0025] Based on the above, this utility model achieves high modularity by integrating the combination switch mounting cavity 1, the dashboard connection part 2, and the steering wheel clearance opening 3 into a single cover body, bringing significant assembly advantages: the assembly can be pre-assembled as an independent module outside the vehicle and then installed on the dashboard as a whole at once, which greatly simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and reduces the risk of dimensional deviations and abnormal noises caused by the separate assembly of multiple parts.

[0026] As is known from common technical knowledge, this utility model can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or its equivalents are included in this utility model.
