Abstract

PURPOSE: An instrument panel having a shock absorptive structure is provided to have appropriate stiffness, to effectively absorb impact energy by being deformed as much as the given shock and to protect an occupant. CONSTITUTION: A main shaft(4) is horizontally extended from an inner part of an instrument panel. A connecting point between the main shaft and instrument panel is a position corresponding to occupant's knees. The main shaft is installed on a dash board through a bracket(5) and the bracket is made up of a planar board. Each point connected to the main shaft and dash board is eccentrically formed up and down. The shock by occupant's knees is transferred to the main shaft and bracket. The bracket is deformed and the shock is absorbed by the bracket. Accordingly, as the bracket absorbs the shock, an injury to the occupant is prevented.

Description

충격 흡수 구조를 가지는 인스트루먼트 패널{An instrument panel having a structure for absorbing a shock}An instrument panel having a structure for absorbing a shock}

본 발명은 자동차의 인스트루먼트 패널에 관한 것이고, 보다 상세하게는 차량이 충돌하였을 때, 승객의 무릎은 보호할 수 있도록 충격을 흡수할 수 있는 구조를 가지는 자동차의 인스트루먼트 패널에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an instrument panel of an automobile, and more particularly to an instrument panel of an automobile having a structure capable of absorbing shock to protect the passenger's knees when the vehicle collides.

통상적으로, 자동차의 인스트루먼트 패널은 운전석 및 조수석의 전방에 위치되어 운전에 필요한 각종 계기류, 오디오 시스템, 및 물품의 보관할 수 있도록 만들어지는 합성 수지제 패널이다.Typically, an instrument panel of an automobile is a synthetic resin panel which is located in front of a driver's seat and a passenger seat and is made to store various instruments, audio systems, and articles required for driving.

이러한 인스트루먼트 패널(1)은 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 엔진룸과 승객칸을 구획하는 대쉬보드(2)에 설치되며, 또한 탑승자의 무릎을 보호하기 위한 니 볼스터(3, knee bolster)가 설치된다. 이러한 니 볼스터(3)는 철판 구조물로 형성되며, 탑승자의 무릎이 접촉될 때, 적절히 변형되어 충격을 흡수하여, 충격에 의하여 탑승자가 부상당하는 것을 방지하는 기능을 한다.The instrument panel 1 is installed in the dashboard 2 partitioning the engine compartment and the passenger compartment as shown in FIG. 1, and also a knee bolster 3 is installed to protect the passenger's knee. . This knee bolster (3) is formed of a steel plate structure, when the knee of the occupant is properly deformed to absorb the shock, and serves to prevent the occupant from being injured by the impact.

그러나, 상기된 바와 같은 구조를 가지는 종래의 인스트루먼트 패널은 니 볼스터가 철판 구조물로 형성되어, 충격이 가해질 때 적절하게 변형되어 충격을 흡수할 수 있도록, 다수의 슬릿이나 변형 지점을 부여하는 한편, 인스트루먼트 패널 자체가 합성수지로 형성되기 때문에, 약간의 충격에 의해서도 파손됨으로써, 충격을 흡수하는 본래의 목적을 달성하는데 어려움이 있었다.However, the conventional instrument panel having the structure as described above, while the knee bolster is formed of a steel plate structure, while imparting a number of slits or deformation points, so as to be properly deformed to absorb the impact when the impact is applied, while the instrument Since the panel itself is formed of synthetic resin, it is broken even by a slight impact, which makes it difficult to attain the original purpose of absorbing the impact.

따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 적절한 강성을 가지는 한편, 충격이 가해질 때 그 충격만큼 변형되어 충격 에너지를 효과적으로 흡수하여, 탑승자를 보호할 수 있는 구조를 가지는 자동차의 인스트루먼트 패널을 제공하는데 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an instrument panel of a vehicle having a structure capable of protecting the occupant by appropriately rigid and deformed by the impact when the impact is applied to effectively absorb the impact energy.

도 1은 종래의 인스트루먼트 패널과 인스트루먼트 패널이 장착되는 대쉬보드의 구조를 도시한 분리 사시도.1 is an exploded perspective view illustrating a structure of a dashboard on which a conventional instrument panel and an instrument panel are mounted.

도 2는 본 발명에 따른 충격 흡수 구조를 가지는 인스트루먼트 패널의 일부를 도시한 사시도.2 is a perspective view showing a part of an instrument panel having a shock absorbing structure according to the present invention.

1 : 인스트루먼트 패널 2 : 대쉬 보드1: instrument panel 2: dashboard

4 : 메인 축 5 : 브라켓4: main shaft 5: bracket

상기된 바와 같은 목적은, 내측에서 횡으로 연장하며, 중공의 파이프로 형성되는 인스트르먼트 패널 메인 축과; 한 쪽 단부가 상기 인스트루먼트 패널 메인 축에 연결되며, 다른 쪽 단부가 엔진룸과 승객칸을 구획하는 대쉬 보드에 연결되며, 상기 단부들은 상하로 편심되며, 수평으로 연장하는 판체로 형성되는 브라켓을 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 본 발명에 따른 자동차의 인스트루먼트 패널에 의하여 달성된다.An object as described above comprises: an instrument panel main axis extending laterally from the inside and formed of a hollow pipe; One end is connected to the instrument panel main shaft, the other end is connected to a dashboard that divides the engine compartment and the passenger compartment, and the ends are eccentric up and down and comprise brackets formed of horizontally extending plates. It is achieved by the instrument panel of the vehicle according to the invention characterized in that.

이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 명세서에 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 보다 상세하게 설명한다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 2는 본 발명에 따른 충격 흡수 구조를 가지는 인스트루먼트 패널의 일부를 도시한 사시도이다. 도 2에 도시된 바와 같은 메인 축(4)은 도 1에 도시된 바와 같은 인스트루먼트 패널(1)의 내측에서 횡으로 연장하며, 메인 축(4)과 인스트루먼트 패널(1)의 연결 지점은 인스트루먼트 패널(1)의 외측에 접촉하는 탑승자의 무릎에 대응하는 위치이다.2 is a perspective view showing a part of an instrument panel having a shock absorbing structure according to the present invention. The main axis 4 as shown in FIG. 2 extends laterally inside the instrument panel 1 as shown in FIG. 1, and the connection point of the main axis 4 and the instrument panel 1 is an instrument panel. It is a position corresponding to the knee of the occupant in contact with the outside of (1).

메인 축(4)은 도 2에 도시된 바와 같은 브라켓(5)을 통하여 도 1에 도시된 바와 같은 대쉬 보드(2)에 설치되며, 브라켓(5)은 수평으로 평평하게 위치되는 평판재로 형성된다. 이러한 브라켓(5)은 도면으로부터 알 수 있는 바와 같이 메인 축(4)과 대쉬 보드(2)에 연결되는 각 지점이 상하 방향으로 편심으로 형성된다.The main shaft 4 is installed on the dash board 2 as shown in FIG. 1 through the bracket 5 as shown in FIG. 2, and the bracket 5 is formed of a flat material positioned horizontally and horizontally. do. As can be seen from the figure, such a bracket 5 is formed at each point connected to the main shaft 4 and the dashboard 2 in an eccentric manner in the vertical direction.

따라서, 인스트루먼트 패널(1)의 외측으로의 탑승자의 무릎에 의한 충격은 메인 축(4)에 전달되며, 그 힘은 브라켓(4)에 전달된다. 브라켓(4)이 상기된 바와 같은 평판으로 형성되며 메인 축(4)과 연결되는 지점과 대쉬 보드(2)에 연결되는 지점이 서로 상하 방향으로 편심되어 있기 때문에, 브라켓(5)은 그 힘에 의하여 변형되고, 이러한 브라켓(4)의 변형에 의하여 탑승자에게 전달되는 충격이 브라켓(4)에 의하여 흡수된다. 브라켓(4)에 의한 충격의 흡수에 의하여 탑승자는 충격으로부터 부상이 방지될 수 있다.Thus, an impact by the occupant's knee to the outside of the instrument panel 1 is transmitted to the main shaft 4, the force of which is transmitted to the bracket 4. Since the bracket 4 is formed of a flat plate as described above, and the point connected to the main shaft 4 and the point connected to the dash board 2 are eccentric with each other in the up and down direction, the bracket 5 is applied to the force. The shock transmitted to the occupant by the deformation of the bracket 4 is absorbed by the bracket 4. By absorbing the impact by the bracket 4, the occupant can be prevented from injury from the impact.

또한, 인스트루먼트 패널(1)은 중공의 파이프로 형성되는 메인 축(4)에 의하여 내측이 지지되므로, 종래의 판체로 형성되는 니 볼스터에 비하여 강도가 향상될 수 있다.In addition, since the instrument panel 1 is supported on the inside by the main shaft 4 formed of a hollow pipe, the strength of the instrument panel 1 can be improved as compared with a conventional bolster formed of a plate body.

상기된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 자동차의 인스트루먼트 패널에 의하면, 인스트루먼트 패널을 지지하는 메인 축이 브라켓에 의하여 지지되므로, 인스트루먼트 패널이 적절한 강성을 가지는 한편, 인스트루먼트 패널에 충격이 가해질 때, 그 충격만큼 브라켓이 변형되어 충격 에너지를 효과적으로 흡수하여, 탑승자를 보호할 수 있다.As described above, according to the instrument panel of the motor vehicle according to the present invention, since the main shaft for supporting the instrument panel is supported by the bracket, the instrument panel has a suitable rigidity, while the impact of the impact on the instrument panel, The bracket is deformed to effectively absorb impact energy, thereby protecting occupants.
