Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an automobile instrument panel.

Conventional technology In order to improve the rigidity of the darts upper panel and the darts lower panel and the vibration resistance of the steering member, and to support heavy objects such as audio equipment and reduce the load on the instrument panel. , a configuration is known in which a plurality of stays are erected and fixed between the above-mentioned darts driver panel and the floor panel, and an instrument panel is tightened and fixed to the stays (for example, in Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.).
Service Bulletin No. 549 issued by Co., Ltd. in February 1986
(See page D-30 for the introduction of the F31 series cars). FIG. 4 shows the main parts of the above configuration, in which 1 is the dash top panel, and 2 is the dash top panel 1.
3 is a floor panel, and 4 is a floor bracket. A stay 7 is erected and fixed between the stay bracket 2 and the floor bracket 4 using mounting screws 5 and 6. 8 indicates the instrument panel,
A predetermined portion of the instrument panel 8 is fastened and fixed to the stay 7 using the mounting screw 5 and other mounting screws 9 and 10. 11 is an instrument pad, 12 is a ventilator, 13 is a heater control knob, 14 is an accessory tray, and 15 is an audio device such as a radio. These heavy objects attached to the instrument panel 8 are substantially supported by the stay 7, so that the load on the instrument panel 8 is reduced.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional automobile instrument panel mounting structure, the instrument panel 8 is fastened to the stay 7 using the mounting screw 5 and the mounting screws 9 and 10. There is a problem in that workability during fixing is reduced, which is a difficulty in improving efficiency. That is, since the instrument panel 8 is a large and complicated part, one worker can handle the instrument panel 8.
It is difficult to fix it to the stay 7, and the tightening and fixing work must be carried out as a collaborative work by a plurality of workers. Therefore, the cost inevitably increases due to the increase in the number of workers and the number of man-hours, and it also has the drawback that variations in mounting accuracy are likely to occur.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems that occur in the conventional mounting structure of automobile instrument panels, allows a single worker to easily tighten and fix the instrument panel, and improves the mounting accuracy. The purpose is to provide a configuration in which variations do not occur.

Means for Solving the Problem In a mounting structure in which a predetermined part of the instrument panel is tightened and fixed to a plurality of stays installed and fixed upright between the dash up panel and the floor panel, the lower part of the instrument panel is fixed. , a support in which a flat part is formed at least on the bottom surface and a rib extending in the stay direction is provided protrudingly, and the flat part of the rib is mounted on the lower side of an arbitrary pair of stays selected from the plurality of stays. The members are fixed in a bridging state.

Function When installing the instrument panel, by mounting the flat part formed on the bottom of the rib on the support member of the stay, the entire instrument panel is held on the stay, so that the instrument panel cannot be installed by hand. This eliminates the need to support the weight of the instrument panel, and the work of mounting and fixing the instrument panel to the stay using mounting screws or the like can be accomplished by a single operation.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of an automobile instrument panel mounting structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which a rib 16 is provided protruding from the lower side 8a of the instrument panel 8 described above. This rib 16 has grooves 16a, 16a and a flat part 1.
6b, and is molded integrally with the instrument panel 8. Note that the rib 16 is provided to extend and protrude in the stay direction, which will be described later.

FIG. 2 shows the rib 16 between the stays 2a and 2b.
An example of mounting is shown in which the support member 17 on which the is mounted is fixedly installed in a bridging state. That is, the stays 2a and 2b are formed with embossed portions 2c and 2d, and the end portion 17 of the support member 17 is formed on the embossed portions 2c and 2d.
a, 17b are welded, while the support member 1
The bent portions 17c and 17d of No. 7 are welded onto the inner surfaces 2e and 2f of the stays 2a and 2b. The welding position of the support member 17 to the stays 2a, 2b is at a portion facing the rib 16 protruding from the lower side of the instrument panel 8.
2b, the rib 16 of the instrument panel is in a position where it can be mounted on the support member 17. Note that the stays 2a and 2b are erected and fixed between a stay bracket 2 protruding from the dash upper panel 1 and a floor bracket 4 fixed to the floor panel 3, as in the conventional example shown in FIG. Furthermore, various heavy objects are attached to the instrument panel 8, as in the conventional case.

According to this configuration, the instrument panel 8
When tightening and fixing to the stays 2a, 2b, first, the flat part 1 of the rib 16 protruding from the lower part 8a of the instrument panel 8 is manually operated by an operator.
6b is mounted on a support member 17 welded to the stays 2a and 2b. This state is shown in FIG. Then, the weight of the instrument panel 8 itself is transferred to the support member 17 on the stay 2a, 2b side via the rib 16.
Since the instrument panel 8 is supported by the operator, there is no need for the operator to support the weight of the instrument panel 8. Therefore, predetermined portions of the instrument panel 8 set in advance can be tightened and fixed to the stays 2a, 2b using mounting screws (not shown), and the work of attaching the instrument panel 8 to the stays 2a, 2b is simplified. carried out.

Effects of the Invention As explained in detail above, according to the instrument panel mounting structure according to the present invention, predetermined portions of the instrument panel are fastened to a plurality of stays that are erected and fixed between the darts panel and the floor panel. In the lower side of the instrument panel in the fixed mounting structure, a flat part is formed at least on the bottom surface, and ribs extending in the stay direction are provided protrudingly, while an arbitrary pair of stays selected from the plurality of stays is provided. Since the support member on which the flat part of the rib is mounted is fixed to the lower part of the rib in a bridging manner,
The effects described below can be brought about. That is, the work of tightening and fixing the instrument panel to the stay can be carried out by only a single worker, and the number of workers can be kept to a minimum. In addition, since the worker does not have to support the weight of the instrument panel during the installation process, work efficiency can be improved, while the installation strength using the installation screws etc. can be sufficiently increased. This has the advantage that mounting accuracy can be improved.
