Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and in particular to an instrument panel frame structure and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In 2019, the European Union introduced regulations stipulating that from July 2022, car manufacturers must include an alcohol lock interface in new models, and from July 2024, all newly registered vehicles must be equipped with an alcohol lock.

[0003] However, currently in China, the requirement to install alcohol interlocks only applies to specific vehicle types such as passenger vehicles, dangerous goods transport vehicles, and trucks. There are no mandatory requirements for passenger cars. If domestically produced passenger cars need to be exported to countries like the EU, an additional alcohol interlock interface must be developed. However, setting up new production lines is impractical, or designing a separate frame structure for the alcohol interlock interface would increase manufacturing costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an instrument panel frame structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an instrument panel frame structure and vehicle, which effectively meets the vehicle's need to simultaneously meet the requirements of using an alcohol lock or not using an alcohol lock.

The sealing cover is located on a second side of the end of the frame body and covers the connection port.

[0007] Preferably, the length of the port positioning member in the mounting direction of the interface body is greater than the length of the interface body, so that the end face of the interface body does not protrude from the connection port in the mounting direction of the interface body.

[0008] Preferably, the port positioning component cooperates with the connection port to form a mounting cavity, and the top of the mounting cavity is provided with a mating part.

[0009] Preferably, the interface body includes a first connecting portion at the top, and the docking member includes a second connecting portion at the top, and the interface body docks within the docking portion via the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

[0010] Preferably, when the encapsulation cover covers the connection port, the end face of the encapsulation cover facing away from the interface body is flush with the side face of the second side of the end of the skeleton body.

[0011] Preferably, the encapsulation cover is formed as a sealed encapsulation structure, and the shape of the sealed encapsulation structure matches the shape of the connection port.

[0012] Preferably, the encapsulation cover is formed as a use encapsulation structure that covers the through hole, and a handle is provided on the top of the use encapsulation structure, the handle extending from the top of the use encapsulation structure toward a direction away from the connection port.

[0013] Preferably, the port positioning component includes a snap-fit ​​portion and a through-fit portion. The through-fit portion corresponds to the interface body.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "connect" 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 of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] According to a first aspect of this utility model, an instrument panel frame structure is provided, such as... Figure 1As shown, this dashboard frame structure is installed in the vehicle. Because it has a reserved mounting position for the alcohol lock interface, it can adapt to vehicle models that require and do not require an alcohol lock interface, meeting the needs of different scenarios. One mold and one production line are sufficient to meet the needs of both types of vehicles. In this embodiment, the alcohol lock interface is... Figure 8 Interface body 5 in the middle, interface body 5 can be with Figure 1 and Figure 5 The docking component 6 is docked. The instrument panel frame structure includes a frame body 1, port positioning components 2, and encapsulation cover plate.

[0026] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 8 This section describes the detailed structure of the instrument panel frame structure, including the frame body 1, port positioning components 2, and encapsulation cover.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in the embodiment, the end of the skeleton body 1 is provided with a connection port 101, and the port positioning member 2 is disposed on the first side of the end of the skeleton body 1 and connected to the connection port 101. The port positioning member 2 is used for docking and accommodating the interface body 5. The port positioning member 2 can also be understood as part of the skeleton body 1 and protrudes from the end face of the skeleton body 1 where the connection port 101 is provided.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the port positioning member 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​surface 201 around its perimeter. A through hole 202 is provided in the center of the snap-fit ​​surface 201. The diameter of the through hole 202 is smaller than that of the connection port 101, allowing the interface body 5 to pass through. Movable snap-fit ​​members 501 are provided on both sides of the interface body 5. The movable snap-fit ​​members 501 snap onto the snap-fit ​​surface 201, so that the interface body 5 snaps into the interior of the skeleton body 1. The movable snap-fit ​​members 501 can be, for example, common snap-fit ​​springs with claws at their ends. When the interface body 5 mates with the port positioning member 2, the two snap-fit ​​springs retract towards each other, passing through the through hole 202. Then, the claws of the snap-fit ​​springs lock onto the snap-fit ​​surface 201.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the encapsulation cover can have two structures, corresponding to cases where an alcohol lock interface needs to be installed and cases where an alcohol lock interface does not need to be installed, respectively. However, they share the same feature: the encapsulation cover is located on the second side of the end of the frame body 1 and covers the connection port 101. It should also be noted that, see [link to relevant documentation]... Figure 1 The end of the skeleton body 1 with the connection port 101 is located at Figure 1The left end of the skeleton body 1 is the first side of the end of the skeleton body 1, with the left end as the center. The right side of the left end is the second side of the end of the skeleton body 1.

[0030] The instrument panel frame structure, through the cooperation of the frame body 1, port positioning component 2 and encapsulation cover plate, allows a single production mold to meet the needs of both those requiring and not requiring the installation of an alcohol lock interface, solving the problem of sharing the lower frame of the instrument panel, thereby avoiding the cost of opening a new lower frame mold and reducing production and manufacturing costs; the connection port 101 and the cooperating port positioning component 2 are set at the end of the frame body 1 and adopt a snap-fit ​​cooperation, which is convenient to fix, neatly arranged, easy to remove, and does not occupy instrument panel space.

[0031] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the port positioning element 2 in the mounting direction of the interface body 5 is greater than the length of the interface body 5 (which can be understood as...). Figure 4 The interface body 5 is positioned perpendicular to the paper surface so that its end face does not protrude from the connection port 101 in the installation direction. It is understood that the entire interface body 5 is located inside the port positioning element 2, and its position does not exceed the connection port 101. This conceals the interface body 5, preventing it from being exposed, ensuring aesthetics while reducing the risk of scratches and pressure on the interface body 5.

[0032] Preferably, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the port positioning member 2 cooperates with the connection port 101 to form the mounting cavity 4. The top of the mounting cavity 4 is provided with a docking portion 207, which can be understood as the top space of the mounting cavity 4, facilitating insertion and removal. The interface body 5 includes a first connecting portion 502 located at the top, and the docking member 6 includes a second connecting portion 601 located at the top. The interface body 5 docks within the docking portion 207 through the first connecting portion 502 and the second connecting portion 601. Similarly, the second connecting portion 601 can also be, for example, a connecting spring. The first connecting portion 502 can be formed into a triangular protrusion, and the end of the connecting spring formed by the second connecting portion 601 can engage with the triangular protrusion to achieve the engagement of the two, which are engaged within the docking portion 207.

[0033] Preferably, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the embodiment, when the encapsulation cover covers the connection port 101, the end face of the encapsulation cover facing away from the interface body 5 (which can be understood as the encapsulation cover being in...) Figure 6 and Figure 7The side shown is flush with the second side of the end of the frame body 1. It is understood that the sealing cover is installed on the front of the connection port 101. The sealing cover prevents water or foreign objects from entering the vehicle before the alcohol lock device is installed, thus preventing risks such as short circuits and corrosion. Simultaneously, the sealing cover and the end face of the frame body 1 adopt a flat-fit design and are fixed by an elastic snap-fit. The elastic snap-fit ​​can be, for example, by providing snap-fit ​​blocks on the periphery of the sealing cover, providing a slot on the inner wall of the connection port 101, or by using an interference fit made of an elastic material such as rubber. After the sealing cover is installed, it prevents the user from removing the cover from the front, thus preventing the cover from being lost, and also prevents foreign objects, liquids, and other harmful substances from entering the vehicle body and corroding the overall vehicle electrical safety.

[0034] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the encapsulation cover is formed as a sealed encapsulation structure 301. The shape of the sealed encapsulation structure 301 matches the shape of the connection port 101. Without the need for an alcohol lock interface, the sealed encapsulation structure 301 can completely seal the connection port 101. This ensures both aesthetics and prevention of foreign object ingress while also meeting the principle of universal design and saving on the cost of new molds.

[0035] Preferably, such as Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the encapsulation cover is formed using an encapsulation structure 302, which covers the through hole 202. A handle portion 303 is provided on the top of the encapsulation structure 302, extending from the top of the encapsulation structure 302 in a direction away from the connection port 101. When it is necessary to install the alcohol lock interface, the encapsulation structure 302 is used to seal the interface body 5, and in conjunction with the handle portion 303, it is convenient for the user to quickly remove the cover by hand when installing the alcohol lock device.

[0036] Preferably, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the port positioning member 2 may include a snap-fit ​​portion 203 and a through-hole portion 204. The through-hole portion 204 corresponds to the interface body 5, and the interface body 5 enters the mounting cavity 4 through the through-hole portion 204. Through-hole grooves 205 are provided at both ends of the through-hole portion 204 for the movable snap-fit ​​member 501 to pass through. The snap-fit ​​portion 203 is disposed on the outer wall of the through-hole groove 205 to cooperate with the through-hole portion 204 to form a snap-fit ​​surface 201 for snapping the movable snap-fit ​​member 501.

[0037] Preferably, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, in the embodiment, the clamping portion 203 is formed with a clamping convex cavity 206, the clamping convex cavity 206 is located inside the clamping portion 203, and the arrangement of the clamping convex cavity 206 makes the clamping portion 203 form a hollow structure. The through groove 205 is opened along the mounting direction of the interface body 5 to facilitate the penetration of the movable clamping member 501, and the clamping convex cavity 206 protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the mounting direction of the interface body 5 toward a position away from the through groove 205, so that the connection port 101 and the mounting cavity 4 form an approximate "convex" shape structure protruding from the left, right and top. This structure has a large reserved space, can meet the arrangement of interface bodies 5 of different models, is compatible with the access of alcohol interlock devices on the market that meet EU regulations, and allows users to have more choices when retrofitting alcohol interlocks.

[0038] In this instrument panel frame structure, through the cooperation of the frame body, the port positioning member and the packaging cover plate, a single production mold can meet the requirements of installing an alcohol interlock interface and not installing an alcohol interlock interface, which solves the problem of sharing the lower instrument panel frame, thereby avoiding the cost of newly opening a lower frame mold and reducing production and manufacturing costs; the connection port and the matched port positioning member are arranged at the end of the frame body and adopt a snap-fit cooperation, which is convenient for fixation, neat in arrangement, easy to take, and does not occupy the space of the instrument panel.

[0039] In addition, according to a second aspect of the present utility model, a vehicle is provided, and the vehicle includes the instrument panel frame structure as described above.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only specific implementations of the present application, which are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application rather than limiting them, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: any person familiar with the technical field can still make modifications to the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or easily conceive variations, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features within the technical scope disclosed in the present application; such modifications, variations or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
