RU48886U1 - PLUG FOR CAR INSTRUMENT PANEL - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to the field of transport engineering and can be used in the construction of a car dashboard.

The utility model solves the problem of creating a plug design for a car dashboard with fastening means providing reliable fixation of the plug in the instrument panel socket while maintaining the possibility of simple, quick installation / removal of the plug from the instrument panel.

This problem is solved in the design of the plug for the dashboard of a car automobile, which includes a body made in the form of a rectangular hollow parallelepiped, open on the back side, and fastening means.

The problem is solved in that the fastening means are made in the form of latches, which are plates with prismatic protrusions at the peripheral ends, partially adjacent to the inner surfaces of the large side walls of the stub. At the same time, slots can be made on the side walls of the plug housing along the end surfaces of the latch plates.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of transport engineering and can be used in the construction of a car dashboard.

The instrument panel of a modern car is equipped with sockets for installing electronic devices.

For example, see the Operation, Maintenance and Repair Manual for VAZ-2110, VAZ-2111, VAZ-2112 vehicles. M: Livre, 1998, pp. 6-8, the design of the instrument panel of the VAZ-2110 car with electronic devices installed in the instrument panel sockets — a clock, trip computer and an on-board monitoring system indication unit (hereinafter referred to as BI BSK) is known.

The cases of the mentioned devices consist of a box-shaped base, on the side walls of which latches are formed, and a front panel having the shape of a rectangular cover.

It should be noted that the number of latches and their location on the basis of the device corresponds to the number and location of the fixing holes made in the walls of the socket of the instrument panel intended for installation of this device.

For the same car model, several varieties of electronic devices are produced. For example, a BI BSK unit for a VAZ-2110 automobile is produced by several suppliers. Moreover, to ensure the possibility of installation on the instrument panel, they have the same design

enclosures (see patents for industrial designs RU 42561 S, MKPO 10-05, publ. 06.16.1996, RU 51859 S, MKPO 10-05, publ. 02.16.2003).

For the most complete satisfaction of consumer requests, it is advisable to produce a car with a dashboard in which there are no built-in electronic devices mentioned above. At the same time, in order to maintain an attractive appearance of the car until the consumer acquires additional devices, the instrument panel sockets must be equipped with decorative caps.

The prior art design of the stub for electronic control panels, see a. from. USSR SU 1621795 A 1, MKI 6 H 05 K 5/02, publ. July 10, 1996. The plug is made in the form of a plate of elastic material and is equipped with two threaded holes for fastening to the remote control. The design disadvantages are the high complexity of the installation and dismantling of the plug, as well as the placement of threaded elements on the front surface of the plug, worsening the appearance of the plug and the console as a whole.

For the prototype of the claimed technical solution, the design of the stub of the radio jack is taken, see Tuning VAZ-2110, -2111, -2112. Illustrated Guide. - M.: ZAO “KZhI“ Driving ””, 2004, p. 142.

The design of the prototype includes a housing having the shape of a rectangular hollow parallelepiped, open on the back side, and fastening means made in the form of protrusions formed on the small side walls of the housing. The disadvantage of the prototype is imperfection

design, allowing the spontaneous separation of the plug under the influence of vibrations.

The objective of the proposed technical solution is to create the design of the plug for the instrument panel of the car with fastening means that provide reliable fixation of the plug in the socket of the instrument panel while maintaining the possibility of simple, quick installation / removal of the plug from the instrument panel.

This problem is solved in the design of the plug, which includes a housing made in the form of a rectangular hollow parallelepiped, open on the back side, and means of fastening.

The problem is solved in that the fastening means are made in the form of latches, which are plates with prismatic protrusions at the peripheral ends, partially adjacent to the inner surfaces of the large side walls of the stub. At the same time, slots can be made on the side walls of the plug housing along the end surfaces of the latch plates.

The utility model is illustrated by the following drawings.

In FIG. The dashboard plug is shown.

The claimed technical solution can be implemented in the design of the plug, see Fig., Which includes a housing 1 made in the form of a rectangular hollow parallelepiped, open from the back.

To implement the utility model, the plug is equipped with fastening means, which are in the form of latches 2, each of which represents

a plate 3 with a prismatic protrusion 4 at the peripheral end, partially adjacent to the inner surface of the larger side wall 5 of the housing 1 of the plug. The number of latches and their location are selected based on the number and location of the locking holes made in the walls of the socket of the instrument panel.

To increase the working stroke of the latches 2 on the side walls 5 of the housing 1 of the plug along the end surfaces 6 of the plates 3, slots 7 can be made.

Installation is as follows. The plug is pushed into the instrument panel socket. In this case, the prismatic protrusions at the ends of the latch plates are pressed by the walls of the socket. Upon reaching the fixing holes made in the walls of the instrument panel socket, the prismatic protrusions extend into said holes, the latch plates are straightened, and the plug housing is securely fixed in the instrument panel socket.

To dismantle the plug, just pull the plug body 1 in the direction “from the instrument panel socket”. In this case, the prismatic protrusions 4 on the plates 3 come out of the corresponding fixing holes on the inner surface of the walls of the socket, press the plate 3, after which the housing 1 of the plug is easily removed from the socket of the instrument panel.
