With the help of the connecting support of the central channel connecting assembly and the high strength of the ring structure, the strength of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly in the instrument panel crossbeam assembly can be increased, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle during a collision and thus improving the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0015] (2) The pedal anti-intrusion assembly includes a first anti-intrusion bracket and a second anti-intrusion bracket. The pedal anti-intrusion assembly adopts a split design, which facilitates the design and manufacturing of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly and also facilitates the arrangement of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly in the instrument panel beam assembly.

[0016] (3) By setting a limiting groove at the bottom of the second anti-intrusion bracket to accommodate the brake pedal, the relative displacement between the brake pedal and the anti-intrusion bracket can be avoided when the anti-intrusion bracket provides limiting support for the brake pedal. This ensures the limiting effect of the anti-intrusion bracket on the brake pedal and helps to improve the safety of the vehicle during a collision.

[0017] (4) The bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket and the top end of the second anti-intrusion bracket are connected together by a connecting structure, which facilitates the connection between the anti-pedal intrusion component and the connecting structure, and also simplifies the structure of the first anti-intrusion bracket and the second anti-intrusion bracket, which helps to reduce design and manufacturing costs.

[0018] (5) The connecting structure includes a dashboard mounting bracket that connects to the dashboard mounting point, which enables the connecting structure to have the functions of connecting the pedal anti-intrusion component and mounting the dashboard. This enables the integrated design of the structure to reduce the number of assembly parts, which is beneficial to reduce costs and achieve lightweight design. At the same time, the connecting structure can be used as part of the first ring structure. Taking advantage of the high strength of the ring structure, the rigidity of the dashboard mounting point can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the installation quality of the dashboard.

In addition, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear, they are also used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "connector" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in light of the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0034] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0035] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides an instrument panel crossbeam assembly, which includes a pedal intrusion prevention structure for limiting excessive intrusion of the brake pedal into the passenger compartment. Furthermore, the instrument panel crossbeam assembly of this embodiment, through its innovative structural design, can improve the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0036] In related technologies, the instrument panel crossbeam assembly, as one of the skeletal structures of the front of the vehicle body, not only serves as the main mounting carrier for the instrument panel, but also as the mounting base for vehicle components such as air conditioning.

[0037] In addition, to prevent the brake pedal from excessively intruding into the passenger compartment during a vehicle collision, especially a head-on collision, and to reduce injuries to the driver's feet, a pedal intrusion prevention bracket is usually installed on the dashboard crossbeam to limit the displacement of the brake pedal into the passenger compartment.

[0038] Currently, pedal intrusion protection brackets are typically installed on the dashboard crossbeam in a cantilever configuration, corresponding to the brake pedal location. While this can limit the brake pedal's movement through the contact between the bracket and the pedal, it still suffers from drawbacks such as relatively weak strength of the pedal intrusion protection component, making it difficult to effectively improve vehicle safety during a collision and ultimately hindering the improvement of the vehicle's overall quality.

[0039] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the instrument panel crossbeam assembly of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the overall design includes a dashboard crossbeam 1, a central channel connection assembly 3 connected to the dashboard crossbeam 1, and a pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4.

[0040] Among them, the bottom of the pedal anti-intrusion component 4 forms a limiting end s, which is suitable for abutting against the brake pedal when the vehicle is in a collision, especially a frontal collision, so as to limit the displacement of the brake pedal into the passenger compartment, and a connection structure 5 connected to the pedal anti-intrusion component 4 is provided on the central channel connecting component 3.

[0041] The aforementioned instrument panel crossbeam 1, pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4, connecting structure 5, and central channel connecting assembly 3 are also connected to form a first ring structure.

[0042] Therefore, by setting a connecting structure 5 between the central channel connecting assembly 3 and the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4, and connecting the instrument panel beam 1, the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4, the connecting structure 5 and the central channel connecting assembly 3 to form a ring structure, this embodiment can increase the strength of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 in the instrument panel beam assembly by taking advantage of the connecting and supporting role of the central channel connecting assembly 3 and the high strength of the ring structure, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle during a collision and enhancing the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0043] Based on the above overview, specifically, it is worth noting that, in conjunction with... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the instrument panel crossbeam 1, as the main structure in the instrument panel crossbeam assembly of this embodiment, extends along the left and right direction of the whole vehicle. The left and right ends of the instrument panel crossbeam 1 can generally be connected to the side A-pillars on the left and right sides of the vehicle body through the crossbeam mounting bracket 2, so as to realize the arrangement of the instrument panel crossbeam 1 at the front of the vehicle body.

[0044] Of course, in addition to connecting the instrument panel beam 1 to the side A-pillars on both sides via the crossbeam mounting bracket 2, a related bracket structure is usually designed to connect the instrument panel beam 1 to the front bulkhead of the vehicle body, so as to further improve the stability of the instrument panel beam 1 in the vehicle body.

[0045] In addition, Figures 1 to 3 The diagram illustrates the structure of the instrument panel crossbeam assembly in this embodiment using a left-hand drive vehicle as an example, with the pedal anti-intrusion component 4 and the center channel connecting component 3 both positioned near the left end of the instrument panel crossbeam 1. However, for right-hand drive vehicles, it is understood that the positions of the pedal anti-intrusion component 4 and the center channel connecting component 3 can be adjusted to be positioned near the right end of the instrument panel crossbeam 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, it is still by Figures 1 to 3 and continue to combine Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the aforementioned pedal anti-intrusion component 4 may include, for example, a first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and a second anti-intrusion bracket 402 located below the first anti-intrusion bracket 401.

[0047] The top end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 is connected to the instrument panel crossbeam 1, and the bottom end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 forms the aforementioned limiting end s.

[0048] At this point, it is understandable that the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 includes a first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and a second anti-intrusion bracket 402. This obviously takes advantage of the fact that the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 adopts a split design, which facilitates the design and manufacture of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4, and also facilitates the arrangement of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 in the instrument panel crossbeam assembly.

[0049] In specific implementation, it is worth noting that, in conjunction with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 can both be made of stamped sheet metal parts, which facilitates the design and preparation of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 and helps to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4.

[0050] In addition, based on the sheet metal parts formed by stamping, a flange structure can also be formed at the side edges of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, or as... Figure 7 As shown, by setting reinforcing ribs 4012, etc., the structural strength of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 can be guaranteed.

[0051] In this embodiment, we continue to combine Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a limiting groove 4021 may be provided at the bottom end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, that is, at the limiting end s of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4, and the limiting groove 4021 is used to accommodate the brake pedal whose displacement is restricted when the vehicle is involved in a collision and the brake pedal intrudes into the passenger compartment.

[0052] It is understandable that by providing a limiting groove 4021 at the bottom of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, when the limiting end s in the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 abuts against the brake pedal, the limiting groove 4021 accommodates the brake pedal. This can prevent relative displacement between the brake pedal and the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 when the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 provides limiting support for the brake pedal, thereby ensuring the limiting effect of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 on the brake pedal and helping to improve the safety of the vehicle during a collision.

[0053] In specific implementation, it is worth noting that the aforementioned limiting groove 4021 can generally be a "U"-shaped groove opened at the bottom end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402. At the same time, in order to ensure the structural strength of the bottom end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, that is, the limiting end s position, based on the setting of the limiting groove 4021, a flange structure can generally be formed along the edge of the limiting groove 4021 to achieve the effect of improving the structural strength.

[0054] In this embodiment, in some exemplary implementations, the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 constituting the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 are designed such that, for example, the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the top end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 are connected together by a connecting structure 5.

[0055] In this way, by connecting the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the top end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 together through the connecting structure 5, it can be understood that this facilitates the connection between the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 and the connecting structure 5, and also simplifies the structure of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, which helps to reduce the design and manufacturing cost of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4.

[0056] In specific implementation, it is worth noting that, in addition to connecting the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 together through the connecting structure 5, in other implementations, for example, the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 can be directly connected to form an integral pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4, and then the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 can be connected to the connecting structure 5. At this time, it is acceptable to connect the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 to the connecting structure 5, or to connect the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 to the connecting structure 5, or to connect the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 to the connecting structure 5 simultaneously, as long as the connection strength between the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 and the connecting structure 5 can be guaranteed.

[0057] Taking the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 in the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 as an example connected by the connecting structure 5, this embodiment will continue to refer to... Figures 1 to 6 and combined Figure 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the connection structure 5 described above includes, for example, a dashboard mounting bracket 501 connected to one side of the central channel connection assembly 3.

[0058] An instrument panel mounting point 501b is provided on the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, and the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the top end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 are both connected to the instrument panel mounting bracket 501.

[0059] It is understood that by including the dashboard mounting bracket 501 with the dashboard mounting point 501b in the connecting structure 5, this embodiment enables the connecting structure 5 to have the functions of connecting the pedal anti-intrusion component 4 and mounting the dashboard, thereby achieving an integrated design of the structure, reducing the number of assembly parts, which helps to reduce the cost of the dashboard beam assembly and achieve its lightweight design.

[0060] Meanwhile, since the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, i.e. the connecting structure 5, is part of the first annular structure mentioned above, this embodiment can obviously also use the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 as the mounting base of the instrument panel. By utilizing the high strength of the annular structure, the rigidity of the instrument panel mounting point can be increased, thereby ensuring the gap surface difference after the instrument panel is installed, which is beneficial to improving the installation quality of the instrument panel.

[0061] In specific implementation, it is worth noting that, as before... Figure 9 As shown, the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 can generally be made of stamped sheet metal, and the instrument panel mounting point 501b can be, for example, a connecting hole provided on the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, and a projection weld nut is provided corresponding to the connecting hole to facilitate the installation of the instrument panel.

[0062] In this embodiment, the dashboard mounting bracket 501 is used based on the connection structure 5. In some exemplary embodiments, the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the dashboard mounting bracket 501 can be welded together, for example.

[0063] At this point, the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 are welded together, which has the advantages of simple and convenient connection operation, and can also ensure the reliability of the connection between the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501.

[0064] In specific implementation, to facilitate the connection between the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 and the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 9 For example, an anti-intrusion bracket connection surface 501s can be formed on the dashboard mounting bracket 501. Two such anti-intrusion bracket connection surfaces 501s can be provided on the dashboard mounting bracket 501. See also... Figure 7 As shown, a first connecting arm 4011 extending outward to one side can be formed at the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401. This allows the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the first connecting arm 4011 to fit onto the corresponding anti-intrusion bracket connecting surface 501s, and then the dashboard mounting bracket 501, the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, and the first connecting arm 4011 can be fixed together by welding.

[0065] In this embodiment, the dashboard mounting bracket 501 is still used based on the connection structure 5. In some exemplary embodiments, the top of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 is detachably connected to the dashboard mounting bracket 501, for example.

[0066] At this point, the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 are detachably connected. Obviously, this embodiment not only enables the connection between the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, but also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 in the later stage, thereby helping to reduce the later maintenance and repair costs.

[0067] In specific implementation, the detachable connection between the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 can generally be a screw connection, and see further details. Figure 9 To facilitate the connection of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, a connecting plate 5011 may be formed on the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, and an anti-intrusion bracket connection point 501d may be provided on the connecting plate 5011.

[0068] The aforementioned anti-intrusion bracket connection point 501d can be a connection hole provided on the connecting plate 5011, and a projection weld nut can be provided corresponding to the connection hole. Meanwhile, see also... Figure 8 A connection through hole 4022 can be correspondingly provided on the second anti-intrusion bracket 402. When connecting, the connection through hole 4022 on the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 is aligned with the anti-intrusion bracket connection point 501d on the connecting plate 5011. Then, the bolt is inserted and screwed together with the projection weld nut at the anti-intrusion bracket connection point 501d.

[0069] In this embodiment, we continue to combine Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, weight reduction holes may be provided on the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, and the dashboard mounting bracket 501, for example.

[0070] Therefore, by setting weight reduction holes on the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 respectively, it is obvious that the weight of the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 and the connecting structure 5 can be reduced, which is conducive to the lightweight design of the instrument panel beam assembly.

[0071] In practical implementation, the weight-reducing holes provided on the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 can be respectively... Figures 7 to 9The first weight-reducing hole 401a, the second weight-reducing hole 402a, and the third weight-reducing hole 501a are shown in the diagram. These three holes can be designed as circular or elongated holes, and the weight-reducing holes on the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 can be designed as one or more, depending on the actual situation. Further details will not be provided here.

[0072] In addition to providing weight reduction holes on the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, in some embodiments, it is also possible to provide weight reduction holes on only one or two of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, the second anti-intrusion bracket 402, and the instrument panel mounting bracket 501.

[0073] In this embodiment, it remains the same. Figure 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, a wire harness fixing point 401b may be provided on the first intrusion prevention bracket 401, for example.

[0074] At this time, by setting the wiring harness fixing point 401b on the first anti-intrusion bracket 401, it can be understood that it can facilitate the arrangement and fixing of the wiring harness in the vehicle dashboard, increase the functionality of the pedal anti-intrusion component 4, and also facilitate the vehicle wiring harness assembly work.

[0075] In specific implementation, the aforementioned wire harness fixing point 401b can be, for example, an outwardly protruding structure formed on the side of the first anti-intrusion structure 401, and a fixing hole is provided on the outwardly protruding structure so that the wire harness can be fixed by conventional screwing, snap-fitting or other methods.

[0076] In this embodiment, as follows... Figure 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the dashboard mounting bracket 5 may be provided with, for example, a dashboard positioning structure and a footrest mounting structure.

[0077] At this point, by providing an instrument panel positioning structure on the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, the functionality of the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 is obviously increased, while also facilitating the assembly of the instrument panel and ensuring its stability after assembly. Of course, by providing a foot stop mounting structure, this embodiment also facilitates the installation and arrangement of the foot stop in the vehicle.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the aforementioned instrument panel positioning structure may be, for example, an instrument panel snap-fit ​​hole 501c opened on the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, and the instrument panel can be snapped onto the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 through a snap-fit ​​structure adapted to the instrument panel snap-fit ​​hole 501c.

[0079] The aforementioned foot guard mounting structure can, for example, employ a foot guard connection hole 501e and a foot guard snap-fit ​​hole 501f provided on the instrument panel mounting bracket 501. The foot guard can be fixed to the foot guard connection hole 501e using bolts or other connecting components. Furthermore, during foot guard installation, the foot guard can be pre-snap-fitted onto the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 using a snap-fit ​​structure adapted to the foot guard connection hole 501e, facilitating the foot guard installation operation.

[0080] In addition, it is worth noting that, in addition to setting both the instrument panel positioning structure and the foot plate mounting structure on the instrument panel mounting bracket 5, it is also feasible to set only the instrument panel positioning structure or the foot plate mounting structure on the instrument panel mounting bracket 5 in other embodiments. It is not recommended to restrict this.

[0081] In this embodiment, it remains the same. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the aforementioned dashboard beam 1 may include, for example, a beam body 101 and a reinforcing beam 102 connected to the beam body 101.

[0082] Among them, a steering column mounting seat 8 is connected between the reinforcing beam 102 and the crossbeam body 101 for the installation and arrangement of the steering column in the vehicle. At the same time, the aforementioned center channel connecting assembly 3 also specifically includes a center channel connecting beam 301 whose top end is connected to the reinforcing beam 102, and the aforementioned connecting structure 5 is connected to the center channel connecting beam 301.

[0083] At this point, based on the instrument panel crossbeam 1 including the crossbeam body 101 and the reinforcing beam 102, by making the middle channel connecting assembly 3 include the middle channel connecting beam 301 connected to the reinforcing beam 102, it is obvious that it has the characteristics of simple structure and is conducive to the design and preparation of the middle channel connecting assembly. At the same time, it can be understood that it can also facilitate the connection between the middle channel connecting assembly 3 and the instrument panel crossbeam 1.

[0084] Given that the central channel connecting assembly 3 adopts the aforementioned central channel connecting beam 301, it can be understood that the aforementioned first annular structure is specifically composed of the crossbeam body 101, the reinforcing beam 102, the central channel connecting beam 301, the instrument panel mounting bracket 501, and the first anti-intrusion structure 401.

[0085] Furthermore, in practical implementation, it is worth noting that the bottom end of the aforementioned central channel connecting beam 301 can generally be connected to the central channel in the front floor of the vehicle body via a screw connection. Additionally, an air conditioning mounting bracket 302 can be installed on the central channel connecting beam 301, for example, for mounting the vehicle's air conditioning system.

[0086] Similarly, based on the central channel connection component 3, the central channel connection beam 301 is still used as... Figure 4 , Figure 5and combined Figure 9 As shown, in a specific implementation, for example, a second connecting arm 5012 and a third connecting arm 5013 may be formed on one side of the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 constituting the above-mentioned connecting structure 5, and both the second connecting arm 5012 and the third connecting arm 5013 may be connected to the central channel connecting beam 301 to realize the connection between the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 and the central channel connecting beam 301, that is, between the connecting structure 5 and the central channel connecting assembly 3.

[0087] It is understandable that by connecting the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 to the central channel connecting beam 301 through its second connecting arm 5012 and third connecting arm 5013, the reliability of the connection between the instrument panel mounting bracket 501 and the central channel connecting beam 301 can be guaranteed, which helps to ensure the rigidity of the formed first annular structure.

[0088] In this embodiment, please continue to refer to... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the crossbeam body 101 is also connected to a first connecting bracket 6 arranged side by side with the central channel connecting beam 301.

[0089] At the same time, the central channel connecting beam 301 is connected to the first connecting bracket 6 through the second connecting bracket 7, and the instrument panel crossbeam 1, the central channel connecting beam 301, the second connecting bracket 7 and the first connecting bracket 6 are also connected to form a second ring structure.

[0090] At this time, by setting a first connecting bracket 6 on the crossbeam body 101 and arranging it parallel to the central channel connecting beam 301, and connecting the central channel connecting beam 301, the second connecting bracket 7, the first connecting bracket 6 and the instrument panel crossbeam 1 to form a second ring structure, it can be understood that this embodiment can better increase the structural strength and rigidity of the instrument panel crossbeam assembly by utilizing the second ring structure on the basis of the first ring structure, which helps to further improve the limiting effect of the pedal anti-intrusion component and the installation quality of the instrument panel.

[0091] In practice, the first connecting bracket 6 and the second connecting bracket 7 can generally be made of stamped sheet metal parts, and the first connecting bracket 6 and the crossbeam body 1, as well as the second connecting bracket 7 and the middle channel connecting beam 301 and the first connecting bracket 6, can be connected by welding.

[0092] Meanwhile, related support structures can also be provided on the first connecting bracket 6 and the second connecting bracket 7 to provide an installation base for the dashboard or other peripheral components, so as to install the dashboard, etc.

[0093] It is worth noting that, regarding the instrument panel crossbeam assembly of this embodiment, based on the above exemplary embodiments, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still composed of... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it may include, for example, an instrument panel beam 1, a center channel connection assembly 3 and a pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 connected to the instrument panel beam 1, and a connection structure 5 connecting the center channel connection assembly 3 and the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4.

[0094] The instrument panel crossbeam 1 includes a crossbeam body 101 and a reinforcing beam 102 connected to the crossbeam body 101. The center channel connection assembly 3 includes a center channel connection beam 301 whose top end is connected to the reinforcing beam 102. The pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4 includes a first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and a second anti-intrusion bracket 402 located below the first anti-intrusion bracket 401. The connection structure 5 includes an instrument panel mounting bracket 501 connected to one side of the center channel connection beam 301.

[0095] The top end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 is connected to the crossbeam body 101, and the bottom end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 forms a limiting end s, with a limiting groove 4021 provided at the bottom end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402. Simultaneously, the bottom end of the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 and the top end of the second anti-intrusion bracket 402 are connected together via an instrument panel mounting bracket 501, and an instrument panel mounting point 501b is provided on the instrument panel mounting bracket 501.

[0096] Furthermore, the dashboard crossbeam 1, the first anti-intrusion bracket 401 in the pedal anti-intrusion assembly 4, the dashboard mounting bracket 501, and the center channel connecting beam 301 are connected to form a first annular structure. Simultaneously, a first connecting bracket 6, arranged parallel to the center channel connecting beam 301, is connected to the crossbeam body 101. The center channel connecting beam 301 and the first connecting bracket 6 are connected via a second connecting bracket 7. The dashboard crossbeam 1, the center channel connecting beam 301, the second connecting bracket 7, and the first connecting bracket 6 are also connected to form a second annular structure.

[0097] In the preferred embodiment of the instrument panel beam assembly described above, the specific configuration and arrangement of the instrument panel beam 1, the center channel connecting component 3, the pedal anti-intrusion component 4, and the connecting structure 5 can still be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments. Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the beneficial effects brought about by the design of the instrument panel beam 1, the center channel connecting component 3, the pedal anti-intrusion component 4, and the connecting structure 5 can also be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments.

[0098] The dashboard crossbeam assembly of this embodiment adopts the above design. By setting a connecting structure 5 between the central channel connecting component 3 and the pedal anti-intrusion component 4, the dashboard crossbeam 1, the pedal anti-intrusion component 4, the connecting structure 5 and the central channel connecting component 3 are connected to form a ring structure. The dashboard mounting point 501b is integrated on the connecting structure 5. This can increase the strength of the pedal anti-intrusion component 4 in the dashboard crossbeam assembly, improve the safety during vehicle collision, and also improve the installation quality of the dashboard, which is conducive to improving the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0099] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle in which an instrument panel beam assembly as described in the first aspect embodiment above is provided.

[0100] In this embodiment, by setting the above-mentioned instrument panel crossbeam assembly, the strength of the pedal anti-intrusion structure in the instrument panel crossbeam assembly can be increased, which can improve the safety of the vehicle during a collision. At the same time, it can also ensure the gap surface difference after the instrument panel is installed, which can improve the installation quality of the instrument panel and thus improve the overall quality of the vehicle.
