If the body 31 and the instrument panel beam are mounted in a non-detachable manner, bonding, welding, riveting or the like can be used. Although the undetachable mounting means can satisfy body 31 installation instrument board crossbeam, when the impaired needs maintenance of instrument board crossbeam, then need change instrument board crossbeam support 3 simultaneously, increased the cost of maintenance in later stage. Therefore, the detachable installation mode, such as hole-shaft matching, is selected for the application. In an implementation manner provided by the present application, the body 31 is provided with a first mounting hole 311 for mounting an instrument panel beam, and correspondingly, the instrument panel beam is provided with a positioning pin, and in the mounting process, the positioning pin on the instrument panel beam extends into the first mounting hole 311 to mount the instrument panel beam on the body 31, so as to complete the mounting and positioning of the body 31 and the instrument panel beam.

In one implementation manner of the present application, the first mounting hole 311 is disposed on a surface of the body 31 facing the rear of the vehicle. The first mounting hole 311 is formed on the surface of the body 31 facing the rear of the automobile, so that the installer does not need to be limited by height, and the installation is convenient. Further, the body 31 extends along the first direction a, and is used for installing an instrument panel beam, so as to facilitate installation between the two and avoid the phenomenon that the instrument panel beam is angularly offset in the installation process, therefore, the instrument panel beam bracket 3 further includes a guide member 32, one end of the guide member 32 is connected with the body 31 correspondingly provided with the first installation hole 311, the other end of the guide member 32 is provided with a second installation hole 321, an axis of the first installation hole 311 and an axis of the second installation hole 321 are collinear, a diameter of the first installation hole 311 is greater than or equal to a diameter of the second installation hole 321, at this time, a positioning pin on the instrument panel beam extends into the guide member 32 from the first installation hole 311 and further extends into the second installation hole 321 from the other end of the guide member 32, so as to install the instrument panel beam on the body 31, and complete installation and positioning of the body 31 and the instrument panel beam.

It should be noted that the cross-sectional shapes of the first mounting hole 311 and the second mounting hole 321 may be regular shapes such as a square shape, a circular shape, a triangular shape, and the like, and may also be irregular shapes, which is not limited in the present application. If the cross-sectional shapes of the first mounting hole 311 and the second mounting hole 321 are regular shapes such as a square, a circle, a triangle, etc., the corresponding positioning pin on the instrument panel beam should also be a corresponding regular shape. Of course, if the cross-sectional shapes of the first mounting hole 311 and the second mounting hole 321 are regular shapes, the corresponding positioning pin on the dashboard cross member should also be irregular shapes. In order to facilitate the processing and manufacturing and save the time required by the processing, in an implementation manner of the present application, the cross-sectional shapes of the first mounting hole 311 and the second mounting hole 321 and the corresponding positioning pins on the instrument panel beam are all circular.

In addition, the body 31 extends in the first direction a for mounting the instrument panel beam, and since the instrument panel beam has a certain weight, in addition to the first connecting member 33 connected to the inner surface 11 of the pillar lower inner panel 1 and the second connecting member 34 connected to the sidewall 12 and/or the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1 to provide support strength and rigidity to the instrument panel beam, the body 31 itself may further provide support strength and rigidity to the instrument panel beam. The body 31 may have a columnar structure or a plate-like structure. When the body 31 is of a columnar structure, a material with higher strength and rigidity and lower density can be selected for use, so that the support strength and rigidity of the instrument panel beam supported by the instrument panel beam support 3 are improved. When the body 31 is a plate-like structure, the plate-like structure may be bent into a U-shaped structure, a triangular structure, or the like, or the thickness of the plate-like structure may be increased to improve the supporting strength and rigidity of the instrument panel cross beam supported by the instrument panel cross beam bracket 3, and of course, the supporting strength and rigidity of the instrument panel cross beam supported by the instrument panel cross beam bracket 3 may also be improved by providing the body 31 in another shape.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in some other embodiments provided herein, a first connecting member 33 is fixed to a connecting end of the body 31, the connecting end is an end of the body in the first direction a, the first connecting member 33 extends in the second direction B for connecting with the inner surface 11 of the pillar lower inner panel 1, a second connecting member 34 is fixed to the connecting end of the body 31, and the second connecting member 34 extends in the third direction C for connecting with the side wall 12 and/or the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1. Because the second connecting piece 34 is fixed at the connecting end of the body 31, the relative position between the second connecting piece 34 and the side wall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1 cannot be positioned, the extending direction of the second connecting piece 34 along the second direction B may be parallel to the side wall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1, but the second connecting piece 34 is positioned on the same straight line, if the second connecting piece 34 is directly connected with the side wall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1, the second connecting piece 34 cannot be completely attached to the side wall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1, and cannot be completely connected, which affects the connection strength of the instrument panel beam support 3 and the pillar lower inner panel 1.

It should be added that a first bending portion 35 is formed between the connecting end of the main body 31 and the second connecting member 34, and the first bending portion 35 may be bent in an arc shape or a right angle, which is not limited in this application. Since the inner surface 11 of the pillar lower inner panel 1 and the sidewall 12 are arc-shaped, and in order to avoid the phenomenon that the stress of the first bent portion 35 formed between the connecting end of the body 31 and the second connecting member 34 is too concentrated and the first bent portion 35 is broken, preferably, the first bent portion 35 is bent in an arc shape.

Similarly, a first connecting member 33 is fixed to the connecting end of the body 31, the connecting end is the end of the body 31 in the first direction a for connecting with the inner surface 11 of the pillar inner lower panel 1, a second connecting member 34 is fixed to the connecting end of the body, and the second connecting member 34 extends along the third direction C for connecting with the side wall 12 and/or the outer surface of the pillar inner lower panel 1. Because the second connecting piece 34 extends along the third direction C, when the second connecting piece 34 is connected with the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1, the second connecting piece 34 cannot be completely attached to the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1, and cannot be completely connected to affect the connection strength between the instrument panel beam bracket 3 and the pillar lower inner panel 1. And the second connecting piece 34 is completely connected with the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1, so that the connecting strength of the instrument panel beam bracket 3 and the pillar lower inner panel 1 is further improved, and the supporting strength and the rigidity of the instrument panel beam bracket 3 for supporting the instrument panel beam are further improved.

Correspondingly, a second bending portion (not shown) is formed on the second connecting member 34, and the second bending portion may be a circular arc bending portion or a right angle bending portion, which is not limited in this application. Because the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1 and the sidewall 12 are arc-shaped, and in order to avoid the phenomenon that the second connecting member 34 is broken due to the excessive concentration of stress at the position where the second bending portion is provided, preferably, the second bending portion is bent by an arc.

It should be added that the second connecting member 34 may be connected to the sidewall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1, may be connected to the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1, and may also be connected to both the sidewall 12 and the outer surface of the pillar lower inner panel 1, for example, the second connecting member 34 is only connected to the sidewall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1, and the extension length of the second connecting member 34 does not exceed the thickness of the sidewall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1, so as to avoid the situation that other parts of the vehicle body cannot be mounted when the extension length of the second connecting member 34 exceeds the thickness of the sidewall 12 of the pillar lower inner panel 1.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application, which is to be construed as the full breadth of the present application and any and all modifications, equivalents, and improvements that come within the spirit and scope of the present application.
