Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of instrument panel tube beam technology, specifically relating to an instrument panel tube beam for a microvan. Background Technology

[0002] The dashboard beams of existing minivan trucks are generally made of steel, with multiple stamped steel brackets connected to the main pipe in a welded manner. This design has several drawbacks in practical applications: the high density of steel results in a relatively high overall weight of the beam, hindering vehicle weight reduction; steel components are susceptible to corrosion, requiring additional surface treatment to ensure rust prevention, increasing production complexity and cost. Furthermore, the welded assembly method creates a fixed connection between the brackets and the main pipe, meaning that if a single bracket fails, the entire beam assembly must be replaced, leading to inconvenient repairs and high maintenance costs. The fixed structure design also makes it difficult to adapt to different vehicle configurations, as the beams for high- and low-end models cannot be flexibly interchanged, reducing production and usage flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a dashboard tube beam for microvans to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a dashboard tube beam for a microvan, comprising: The main tube of the pipe beam is made of aluminum profile and has a long strip structure; The steering column mounting bracket is an aluminum casting or aluminum stamping part, which is fixedly installed in the middle area of ​​the main tube beam and biased towards the left side of the vehicle body. It is detachably connected to the main tube beam by at least two bolts and is used to install the steering column. The large screen mounting bracket is an aluminum stamping part, which is fixedly installed on the front upper surface of the main tube beam. It has at least two waist-shaped mounting holes for mounting the display screen and can be detachably connected to the main tube beam by riveting or bolting. The lower mounting bracket of the tube beam is an aluminum casting, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the main tube beam and at least two are distributed at intervals along the length direction. Its bottom is provided with a flange interface for connection to the vehicle chassis, and it is detachably connected to the main tube beam by bolts. The left and right mounting brackets are both aluminum castings or aluminum stampings, and are respectively fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the main tube beam. Each bracket is detachably connected to the radial surface of the end of the main tube beam by at least two bolts, and is used to fix the tube beam assembly to the left and right sides of the vehicle body. The connecting surfaces of the steering column mounting bracket, the large screen mounting bracket, the lower mounting bracket of the tube beam, the left mounting bracket, and the right mounting bracket are all in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the main tube beam, and all connecting nodes adopt a detachable structure.

[0005] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the main pipe of the tube beam is circular, rectangular, or regular polygonal.

[0006] Preferably, the main body of the steering column mounting bracket has an "L" shaped structure, with its vertical section fitting against the main pipe of the pipe beam, and the horizontal section having steering column fixing holes, and the connecting bolts between the vertical section and the main pipe of the pipe beam are symmetrically distributed along the radial direction of the main pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the two sides of the large screen mounting bracket are folded upward to form reinforcing ribs, and the connection points between them and the main pipe of the tube beam are located at both ends of the bracket's length direction.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the mounting bracket at the lower part of the pipe beam is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the outer contour of the main pipe of the pipe beam. The groove is provided with anti-slip texture, and the axis of the bolt connection hole intersects perpendicularly with the axis of the main pipe of the pipe beam.

[0009] Preferably, the left and right mounting brackets are mirror-symmetrical in structure, and each bracket has a sleeve structure on its inner end that matches the end of the main pipe of the pipe beam, and the sleeve sidewall has radial bolt holes.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a dashboard tube beam for a microvan, which has the following advantages: 1. This utility model effectively solves the inherent defects of traditional steel pipe beams by adopting a combined structure of aluminum profile main pipe and aluminum casting / stamping bracket, combined with detachable connection methods of riveting and screwing. The application of aluminum material significantly reduces the overall weight of the pipe beam, and at the same time, its natural corrosion resistance eliminates the need for additional rust prevention treatment.

[0011] 2. The detachable connection design of each bracket and the main tube in this utility model eliminates the need to replace the entire tube beam when a single bracket is damaged, improving maintenance convenience and reducing maintenance costs. The brackets can be flexibly replaced or added or removed according to the vehicle model configuration, realizing free interchangeability between high and low configuration models, enhancing the product's versatility and adaptability, and bringing greater flexibility to production and use.

[0017] In this utility model, preferably, the two sides of the large screen mounting bracket 3 are folded upward to form reinforcing ribs, and the connection points between them and the main pipe 1 are located at both ends of the bracket's length direction.

[0018] In this utility model, preferably, the top of the mounting bracket 4 at the lower part of the pipe beam is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the outer contour of the main pipe 1 of the pipe beam. The groove is provided with anti-slip texture, and the axis of the bolt connection hole intersects perpendicularly with the axis of the main pipe 1 of the pipe beam.

[0020] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the main tube beam 1 is made of a long strip of aluminum profile, and its cross-sectional shape can be selected as circular, rectangular, or regular polygonal according to modal requirements, serving as the main load-bearing component of the entire tube beam assembly. The steering column mounting bracket 2 is an aluminum casting or aluminum stamping part, with an L-shaped structure.

The connection nodes adopt a detachable structure design using bolts or rivets, allowing for independent replacement of a single damaged bracket without disassembling the entire tube beam assembly. This also allows for flexible addition, removal, or replacement of brackets based on vehicle model requirements, enabling free interchangeability between different configurations. The use of aluminum material leverages its density characteristics to reduce overall weight, while its inherent corrosion resistance eliminates the need for rust prevention treatments required for traditional steel tube beams. Through a combination of modular, detachable design and material optimization, the tube beam assembly achieves a comprehensive functionality encompassing lightweight design, corrosion and rust prevention, convenient maintenance, and flexible configuration.
