[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 8 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the mounting bracket for the sub-instrument panel provided in this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Bottom view; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the mounting bracket for the sub-instrument panel provided in this application when it is assembled with the vehicle body; Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Top view; Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The first main view, Figure 6 yes Figure 3 The second main view; Figure 7 yes Figure 3 First side view, Figure 8 yes Figure 3 The second side view.

[0024] This application provides a mounting bracket for a sub-instrument panel. The mounting bracket 100 for the sub-instrument panel includes: a bracket body 10, which includes a main plate 11 and a mounting inclined sidewall 12 extending from the main plate 11 in a first direction X. The mounting inclined sidewall 12 is provided with a first connector 121 for connecting the sub-instrument panel; and support legs 20, which are fixedly connected to the main plate 11 and extend along the first direction X. The end of the support leg 20 away from the main plate 11 is provided with a fixing part 21.

[0025] The bracket body 10 supports and connects to the sub-instrument panel. Specifically, the main plate 11 of the bracket body 10 provides the main support plane for the sub-instrument panel, and the inclined sidewall 12 is connected to the sub-instrument panel via a first connector 121 disposed thereon. The connection method includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection. The first connector 121 includes, but is not limited to, insert nuts, thermo-pressed embedded nuts, press-fit nuts, etc. The first connector 121 provides a reliable connection structure (e.g., internal thread) and plays a role in load transfer. The number of first connectors 121 can be set according to actual needs, for example, 4, 5, 6, etc. Support legs 20 support the bracket body 10 and adapt the mounting bracket 100 to the vehicle body 200 structure. In this embodiment, the main plate 11 is square, and four support legs 20 are provided, distributed at the four corners of the main plate 11, providing good support balance. The support legs 20 are connected to the vehicle body 200 via a fixing part 21 away from the end of the main plate 11. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing part 21 is provided with a mounting hole, through which the mounting bracket 100 can be connected to the vehicle body 200.

[0026] The inclined sidewall 12 extends inclinedly from the main body plate 11 in a first direction X, where the first direction X refers to the direction in which the mounting bracket 100 faces the vehicle body 200. Therefore, the inclined sidewall 12 is not completely parallel to the first direction X, but has an inclination angle. In this case, compared to setting the first connector 121 on the main body plate 11, setting the first connector 121 on the inclined sidewall 12 makes the mounting surfaces of the sub-instrument panel and the mounting bracket 100 be inclined, which facilitates the connection and assembly of the sub-instrument panel and the mounting bracket 100, and improves assembly flexibility and assembly efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments, the inclined sidewall 12 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 122, which surround the first connector 121. The plurality of first reinforcing ribs 122 increases the rigidity of the connection surface between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel, which helps reduce the vibration of the sub-instrument panel during vehicle operation, improves the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel, and reduces cracking of the mounting bracket 100. The first reinforcing ribs 122 surrounding the first connector 121 can strengthen the mechanical properties of the substrate surrounding the first connector 121, reducing the risk of damage to the substrate due to localized stress concentration or excessive load, especially suitable for mounting brackets 100 made of plastic material.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first reinforcing ribs 122 are interconnected to form a regular hexagonal honeycomb structure, and the first connector 121 is disposed in the honeycomb structure.

[0029] Due to the area limitation of the inclined sidewall 12, the honeycomb structure formed by the first reinforcing rib 122 includes a complete regular hexagonal structure or a part of a regular hexagonal structure, or both a complete regular hexagonal structure and a part of a regular hexagonal structure. The first reinforcing rib 122 of the honeycomb structure can distribute the load from multiple directions, resulting in a more uniform stress distribution. The individual grids can support each other, and a larger area can be covered within a limited space, which is more conducive to enhancing the mechanical properties of the substrate surrounding the mounting bracket 100 and the first connector 121.

[0030] In some embodiments, the main body plate 11 includes a first pair of edges 11a and a second pair of edges 11b disposed opposite to each other. The mounting inclined sidewalls 12 include two oppositely disposed sidewalls, which are respectively formed by the first pair of edges 11a extending inclinedly in a first direction X. The bracket body 10 also includes two reinforcing sidewalls 13, which are respectively formed by the second pair of edges 11b extending in a first direction X. Support legs 20 are respectively disposed at both ends of the second pair of edges 11b, and each support leg 20 is connected to the corresponding mounting inclined sidewall 12 and reinforcing sidewall 13.

[0031] In the mounting bracket 100, two inclined mounting sidewalls 12 are respectively disposed on the first pair of edges 11a, which can better support the sub-instrument panel and improve the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel. The first connector 121 can be evenly distributed on the two inclined mounting sidewalls 12. Two reinforcing sidewalls 13 are respectively disposed on the second pair of edges 11b. The reinforcing sidewalls 13 can extend vertically from the second pair of edges 11b in the first direction X, or they can extend inclinedly from the second pair of edges 11b in the first direction X. The arrangement of the reinforcing walls helps to improve the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100. Support legs 20 are respectively disposed at both ends of the second pair of edges 11b, that is, the support legs 20 include two sets, namely the first set of support legs 20 and the second set of support legs 20. The first set of support legs 20 and the second set of support legs 20 each include two support legs 20, and each set of support legs 20 is disposed at both ends of one edge of the second pair of edges 11b. In one embodiment, with the main body plate 11 as a reference, the first set of support legs 20 and the second set of support legs 20 have a height difference in the first direction X, thereby adapting to the height difference of the structure in the vehicle body 200 where the sub-instrument panel is installed, making the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel more stable. Each support leg 20 is connected to the corresponding mounting inclined side wall 12 and reinforcing side wall 13. At this time, the support leg 20, the mounting inclined side wall 12, and the reinforcing side wall 13 can form a relatively stable support structure, which is beneficial to improving the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100, thereby improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel.

[0032] In this application, the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100 is further improved by adding reinforcing ribs, thereby reducing the vibration of the sub-instrument panel during vehicle operation, improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel, and reducing cracking of the mounting bracket 100. The specific arrangement of the reinforcing ribs is detailed in the following embodiments.

[0033] In some embodiments, each reinforcing sidewall 13 is bent at the end edge away from the main body plate 11 and extends along the second direction Y in a direction away from the main body plate 11 to form a first reinforcing edge 131. Each reinforcing sidewall 13 is provided with a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 132, and each second reinforcing rib 132 extends from the corresponding second pair of edges 11b to the first reinforcing edge 131; wherein, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0034] By providing a second reinforcing rib 132 on the reinforced sidewall 13, the stress dispersion effect of the reinforced sidewall 13 can be improved, thereby increasing the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100 and improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel.

[0035] In some embodiments, each support leg 20 is provided with a plurality of third reinforcing ribs 22, each of the third reinforcing ribs 22 extending from the second pair of edges 11b toward the fixing portion 21, and the plane where each third reinforcing rib 22 is located is parallel to the plane where the second reinforcing rib 132 is located.

[0036] By providing a third reinforcing rib 22 on the support leg 20, the stress dispersion effect of the support leg 20 can be improved, thereby increasing the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100 and improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel. The plane where each third reinforcing rib 22 is located is parallel to the plane where the second reinforcing rib 132 is located, which helps to disperse the stress along the length direction of the second reinforcing rib 132 and the third reinforcing rib 22, reducing the risk of bending deformation of the support leg 20.

[0037] In some embodiments, the central region of the main body plate 11 is provided with a recess 111, and a plurality of fourth reinforcing ribs 112 are provided in the recess 111. The fourth reinforcing ribs 112 are connected to each other to form an orthogonal grid structure, and the height of each fourth reinforcing rib 112 is the same as the depth of the recess 111.

[0038] By providing a fourth reinforcing rib 112 on the main body plate 11, the stress dispersion effect of the main body plate 11 can be improved, thereby increasing the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100 and improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel. The recess 111 can extend along the second direction Y or along the third direction Z, which is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Y. The fourth reinforcing ribs 112 are interconnected to form an orthogonal grid structure, which can achieve balanced stiffness reinforcement in two perpendicular directions simultaneously, taking into account both structural stability and manufacturing convenience, and adapting to the regularly shaped main body plate 11 in the mounting bracket 100; the height of each fourth reinforcing rib 112 is the same as the depth of the recess 111, which is more conducive to stress dispersion.

[0039] In some embodiments, the main body plate 11, the mounting inclined sidewall 12 and the reinforcing sidewall 13 form a cavity 14, and the bottom wall of the cavity 14 is provided with a fifth reinforcing rib 141, which are interconnected to form an orthogonal grid structure.

[0040] By providing a fifth reinforcing rib 141 on the bottom wall of the cavity 14, the stress dispersion effect of the mounting bracket 100 can be improved, thereby increasing the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100 and improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 100 and the sub-instrument panel.

[0041] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 100 of the sub-instrument panel is a one-piece molded structure, which can further reduce stress concentration points and improve the rigidity of the mounting bracket 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 100 of the sub-instrument panel is made of plastic, which helps to reduce the weight and cost of the mounting bracket 100 and makes it easy to process and mold, and can be integrally molded.

[0043] This application also provides a sub-instrument assembly, which includes the mounting bracket 100 of the sub-instrument in any of the above embodiments, and further includes: a sub-instrument (not shown); a second connector (not shown), wherein the first connector 121 and the second connector are detachably connected; the sub-instrument and the mounting bracket 100 of the sub-instrument are connected through the first connector 121 and the second connector. The mounting bracket 100 facilitates the connection and assembly of the sub-instrument and the mounting bracket 100, improving assembly flexibility and assembly efficiency.

[0044] This application also provides a vehicle, which includes a mounting bracket 100 for a sub-instrument panel according to any of the above embodiments, and / or includes a sub-instrument panel assembly according to the above embodiments; the mounting bracket 100 for the sub-instrument panel is detachably connected to the vehicle body 200 via a fixing part 21. The mounting bracket 100 realizes the connection between the vehicle body 200 and the sub-instrument panel, and facilitates the connection and assembly of the sub-instrument panel and the mounting bracket 100, thereby improving assembly flexibility and assembly efficiency.
