Detailed Description

The utility model discloses a technical scheme's instrument panel opening part periphery structure's for vehicle representative structure has: an instrument panel having an opening; and a predetermined component attached to the opening portion, wherein the vehicle instrument panel opening portion periphery structure further includes: a plate-like member that is elongated, is attached to an upper edge of the opening portion from the vehicle front side, and spans in the vehicle width direction along the upper edge; and a pair of resin members which are attached to both end portions of the plate-like member, respectively, and which are mounted so that the positions thereof in the vehicle width direction can be adjusted, and which guide predetermined components.

With the above configuration, the upper edge of the opening portion of the instrument panel can be reinforced by the plate-like member. Further, the pair of resin members attached to both end portions of the plate-like member can be independently adjusted in position in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, even when the opening portion of the instrument panel is deformed such as twisted during molding or the like, the upper edge of the opening portion can be reinforced by the plate-like member, and the positions of the pair of resin members can be adjusted in the vehicle width direction in accordance with the deformation, so that the predetermined component can be guided, and the predetermined component can be arranged at an appropriate position.

The predetermined component may be a glove box having an opening portion that is openable and closable, the glove box may be formed with a pair of ribs that protrude toward the front of the vehicle in a closed state of the glove box and are arranged to be spaced apart in the vehicle width direction, and the pair of resin members may be formed with a pair of abutting portions that are raised toward the center of the opening portion in the vehicle width direction and that are capable of abutting against the pair of ribs, respectively.

as described above, the pair of resin members are attached to both end portions of the plate-like member so as to be adjustable in position in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, by adjusting the positions of the pair of resin members in the vehicle width direction, the positions of the pair of abutting portions that bulge toward the vehicle width direction center of the opening portion can also be adjusted. Therefore, the pair of abutting portions can be reliably brought into contact with the pair of ribs of the glove box, and the opening and closing operation of the glove box can be guided. Therefore, with the above configuration, the gap (partition) between the opening of the instrument panel and the glove box can be kept constant, and the appearance can be improved.

A pair of side wall portions may be formed on the pair of resin members so as to face each other. With the above configuration, the side wall portions of the pair of resin members are located on the back side of the gap between the opening of the instrument panel and the glove box. Therefore, even if the glove box is in the open state, the occupant does not see the inside of the instrument panel, and the appearance can be improved.

The vehicle instrument panel opening portion peripheral structure may further include: the steering support assembly is erected on two side surfaces of the vehicle and is used for installing an instrument panel; and a pair of brackets which are respectively connected with the steering support component, extend downwards from the steering support component and are respectively fixed on the front sides of the pair of resin components.

As a result, an impact generated when a predetermined component (e.g., the glove box) is opened and closed, and a stress caused by a change in temperature or the like due to deformation of the instrument panel and the resin member can be transmitted to the steering support unit via the pair of brackets fixed to the resin member. Therefore, the impact and stress can be transmitted to the steering support unit having high rigidity, and dispersed. Therefore, with the above configuration, even when the impact or stress occurs, the gap between the predetermined component and the opening of the instrument panel can be kept constant. Further, by attaching the instrument panel to the steering support unit having high rigidity, it is possible to correct deformation of the opening portion during molding when assembling the steering support unit.

The instrument panel may further include a pair of mounting portions formed on both side edges of the opening portion, respectively, protruding toward the vehicle front, and fixed to the pair of resin members, respectively.

Thus, not only the pair of brackets engaged with the steering support unit but also the mounting portions formed at both side edges of the opening portion of the instrument panel are fixed to the pair of resin members. Therefore, the impact and the stress can be reliably transmitted to the steering support unit having high rigidity via the pair of resin members and dispersed. Therefore, the gap between the predetermined component and the opening of the instrument panel can be more reliably maintained constant by the above configuration.

Examples

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Dimensions, materials, and other specific numerical values shown in the present embodiment are merely examples for easy understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these unless otherwise specified. In the present specification and the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to elements having substantially the same function and structure, so that overlapping description is omitted, and elements not directly related to the present invention are not shown.

Fig. 1 is a view showing a peripheral structure of an opening portion of a vehicle instrument panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Next, an arrow X shown in each drawing indicates the vehicle front, and an arrow Y indicates the vehicle width direction outer side.

The vehicle instrument panel opening portion peripheral structure (hereinafter referred to as a peripheral structure) 100 includes an instrument panel 102, and the instrument panel 102 is made of resin and constitutes an outer appearance surface (interior portion) of a vehicle cabin front portion. An opening 104 is formed in the instrument panel 102 at a position facing the front passenger seat in particular.

A resin glove box 106 for accommodating an object to be accommodated, for example, is openably and closably attached to the opening 104 of the instrument panel 102. Further, illustrated in the drawings is the peripheral structure 100 when the glove box 106 is in a closed state.

The glove box 106 includes: a main body 108 for storing an object to be stored; and a cover 110 capable of covering the body 108. In the glove box 106, the main body 108 and the cover 110 are separate members fixed to each other by welding or the like, and the lock mechanism 112, for example, is sandwiched between the main body 108 and the cover 110.

An engaging portion 114 and an engaging portion 116 are provided at a lower portion of the main body 108 of the glove box 106. A shaft portion 120 and a shaft portion 122 are formed on the lower edge 118 of the opening portion 104 of the instrument panel 102. The engaging portion 114 engages with the shaft portion 120 in a state of contacting with the shaft portion 120, and the engaging portion 116 engages with the shaft portion 122 in a state of contacting with the shaft portion 122. In this way, the glove box 106 can rotate with respect to the shaft portion 120 and the shaft portion 122 of the instrument panel 102, and the glove box 106 can be attached to the opening portion 104 so as to be openable and closable.

Here, since the instrument panel 102 is made of resin, the opening 104 may be deformed such as twisted during molding. Therefore, it is desirable to reliably reinforce the opening 104 following the deformation of the dash panel 102. Further, since the cover 110 of the glove box 106 is a member facing the occupant, it is desirable to improve the appearance by keeping a gap (partition) between the cover 110 and the opening 104 of the instrument panel 102 constant.

Therefore, in the peripheral structure 100 of the present embodiment, the structure is adopted: even when the opening 104 of the instrument panel 102 is deformed, the opening 104 can be reinforced, and the glove box 106 attached to the opening 104 can be guided to an appropriate position.

Fig. 6(a), 6(b), and 6(c) are each an isotropic view of the other resin member 132 in fig. 3 (b). Fig. 6(a) is a K-direction view of the resin member 132, fig. 6(b) is an L-direction view of the resin member 132, and fig. 6(c) is an M-direction view of the resin member 132.

as shown in fig. 6(a), the resin member 132 is provided with a contact portion 226 and a side wall portion 224 facing the opening 104. The contact portion 226 is a portion that bulges from the side wall portion 224 toward the vehicle transverse direction center of the opening portion 104. Further, a boss 230 is formed on the front wall 228 of the resin member. The projection 230 can be inserted into the through hole 178a of the bracket 166 shown in fig. 2 (b).

Further, the resin member 132 has a rear wall 234, and the rear wall 234 is continuous with the front wall 228 via the upper wall 232. The projection 202 and the second through hole 204 are formed in the rear wall 234. As shown in fig. 6(b), the front wall 228, the upper wall 232, and the rear wall 234 are erected from the periphery of the side wall portion 224, so that the resin member 132 forms a so-called box shape. As shown in fig. 6(b), a lower end 236 of rear wall 234 faces front wall 228 with a gap 238 therebetween. As shown in fig. 6(c), the front wall 228 and the upper wall 232 are partially missing.

Fig. 7(a) and 7(b) are views schematically showing the other end 184 of the metal plate member 128 and a part of the other resin member 132 in fig. 3 (a). Fig. 7(a) is a schematic view showing a state seen from above. Fig. 7(b) is a view in the direction G in fig. 3 (a).

As shown in fig. 7(a), the long hole 198 formed in the other end 184 of the metal plate member 128 is long in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the boss 202 formed on the resin member 132 can move in the vehicle width direction with respect to the long hole 198 in a state of being inserted into the long hole 198, and the position of the resin member 132 in the vehicle width direction can be adjusted by the movement.

Further, the diameter of the second through hole 204 formed in the resin member 132 is large to the extent that: the second through-hole 204 always includes the first through-hole 200 formed in the other end 184 of the metal plate member 128 regardless of the position of the projection 202 inserted into the long hole 198, that is, the position of the resin member 132 in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the fastening member 206 can fasten the resin member 132, the position of which in the vehicle width direction has been adjusted, to the other end 184 of the metal plate member 128 by penetrating the first through hole 200 and the second through hole 204. The fastening member 206 may be fixed to a spacer 240 disposed around the second through hole 204 shown in fig. 7(b) to fasten the resin member 132 and the other end 184 of the metal plate member 128 together. In this way, the other resin member 132 is attached to the other end 184 of the metal plate member 128 so as to be adjustable in position in the vehicle width direction.

As shown in fig. 8, a pair of ribs 242 and 244 are provided on the back surface of the cover 110, and the pair of ribs 242 and 244 are disposed so as to protrude toward the body portion 108 and be spaced apart in the vehicle width direction. The main body 108 includes: a housing portion 246 for housing an object to be housed; and flange portions 248, 250. The flange portion 248 extends in the vehicle width direction from the side portion 252 of the housing portion 246, and the flange portion 250 extends in the vehicle width direction from the side portion 254 of the housing portion 246, and in the closed state of the glove box 106 shown in fig. 9(a), the flange portion 248 is along the side edge 138 of the opening portion 104 of the instrument panel 102, and the flange portion 250 is along the side edge 140 of the opening portion 104 of the instrument panel 102. As shown in fig. 9(b), a through hole 256 is formed in the flange 248, and a through hole 258 is formed in the flange 250.

When the surface of the main body 108 of the glove box 106 is covered with the back surface of the cover 110 and fixed together by welding or the like, the pair of ribs 242 and 244 are inserted into the through-holes 256 and 258 of the main body 108 as shown in fig. 9 (b). The pair of ribs 242, 244 penetrate the through hole 256 and the through hole 258 and protrude from the main body 108, and in the closed state of the glove box 106, the pair of ribs 242, 244 protrude toward the vehicle front. As shown in fig. 9(b), the abutting portion 210 and the abutting portion 226 of the pair of resin members 130 and 132 abut against the pair of ribs 242 and 244.

As described above, the pair of resin members 130, 132 are attached to both end portions of the end portion 182 and the end portion 184 of the metal plate member 128 so as to be adjustable in position in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, by adjusting the positions of the pair of resin members 130, 132 in the vehicle width direction, the positions of the pair of contact portions 210, 226 bulging toward the vehicle width direction center of the opening portion 104 can also be adjusted.

Therefore, the pair of contact portions 210 and 226 can be reliably brought into contact with the pair of ribs 242 and 244 in the glove box 106, and the opening and closing operation of the glove box 106 can be guided. Thus, with the peripheral structure 100, the gap (partition) between the opening portion 104 of the instrument panel 102 and the glove box 106 can be kept constant, and the appearance can be improved.

As shown in fig. 9(b), a pair of side wall portions 208 and 224 facing each other are formed on the pair of resin members 130 and 132. Therefore, the side wall portion 208 and the side wall portion 224 of the pair of resin members 130 and 132 can be positioned on the back side of the gap between the opening 104 of the instrument panel 102 and the glove box 106. Therefore, with the peripheral structure 100, even if the glove box 106 is in the open state, the occupant does not see the inside of the instrument panel 102, and the appearance can be improved.

Fig. 10 is a view showing a cross section of the peripheral structure 100 taken along line B-B in fig. 2 (a). As shown in the drawings, in the peripheral structure 100, the metal plate member 128 of the reinforcing assembly 124 is attached to an upper edge 134 of the opening portion 104 of the instrument panel 102 via an attachment portion 136. Further, a bracket 164 (see fig. 2(b)) engaged with the steering support unit 126 is attached to the front wall 212 of the resin member 130. Although not shown, a bracket 166 that is engaged with the steering support unit 126 as described above is attached to the front wall 228 of the resin member 132.

With the peripheral structure 100 of the present embodiment, the upper edge 134 of the opening portion 104 can be reinforced by attaching the metal plate member 128 to the upper edge 134 of the opening portion 104 of the instrument panel 102 from the vehicle front side. Further, the pair of resin members 130, 132 attached to both end portions, that is, the end portion 182 and the end portion 184, of the metal plate member 128 can be adjusted in position in the vehicle width direction independently. Therefore, even when the opening portion 104 is deformed such as twisted during molding or the like, the upper edge 134 of the opening portion 104 can be reinforced by the metal plate member 128, and the positions of the pair of resin members 130, 132 can be adjusted in the vehicle width direction in accordance with the deformation of the opening portion 104. Therefore, the pair of resin members 130 and 132 can guide the sundry box 106, and the sundry box 106 can be arranged at an appropriate position.

Further, in the peripheral structure 100, a pair of brackets 164, 166 that engage with the steering support assembly 126 are fixed to the vehicle front sides of the pair of resin members 130, 132, respectively. Therefore, the impact generated when the glove box 106 is opened and closed, and the stress associated with the deformation of the instrument panel 102, the resin member 130, and the resin member 132 due to a temperature change, and the like, can be transmitted to the steering support unit 126 via the pair of brackets 164 and 166. As a result, the impact and stress can be transmitted to the steering support unit 126 having high rigidity, and can be dispersed.

Therefore, with the peripheral structure 100, even when the above-described impact or stress occurs, the gap between the opening 104 of the instrument panel 102 and the glove box 106 can be kept constant. Further, by attaching the instrument panel 102 to the steering support assembly 126 having high rigidity, it is possible to correct deformation of the opening 104 during molding when assembling the steering support assembly 126.

In the peripheral structure 100, not only the pair of brackets 164 and 166 but also the mounting portions 142 and 144 formed on both side edges, i.e., the side edge 138 and the side edge 140 of the opening 104, are fixed to the pair of resin members 130 and 132 (see fig. 2 a). Therefore, the impact and the stress can be reliably transmitted to the steering support unit 126 having high rigidity via the pair of resin members 130 and 132, and dispersed. Thus, with the peripheral structure 100, the gap between the opening portion 104 of the instrument panel 102 and the glove box 106 can be more reliably kept constant.

Further, since both the pair of resin members 130 and 132 are box-shaped, a so-called knee pad function, that is, a function of protecting knees of a passenger seated on the passenger seat side when the knees of the passenger hit against the instrument panel 102, can be exhibited. In such a case, as an example, the resin member 132 can adjust the stroke amount by which the front wall 228 moves and approaches the rear wall 234 when an impact is applied by adjusting the gap 238 between the lower end 236 of the rear wall 234 and the front wall 228 shown in fig. 6(b), and as a result, the load absorption amount can be adjusted.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. It is obvious that various modifications and alterations can be conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the claims, and it is needless to say that these modifications and alterations are also within the technical scope of the present invention.
