Corresponding to this, a front wall 66 that is substantially rectangular in a front view is erected. A flange portion 66A extending obliquely upward toward the vehicle front side is formed at the front end portion of the front wall 66 (see FIG. 3). In addition, inclined walls 68 and 70 that incline toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction toward the vehicle rear side are provided on both ends of the front wall 66 in accordance with the inclined portions 58 and 60 of the cluster lower 54. .

  The tip portions of the inclined walls 68 and 70 are formed so as to become inclined surfaces 68A and 70A that go downward in the vehicle as they go to the vehicle rear side. On the back side of the cluster upper 52, a frame body 72 as a second engaged portion is provided at a position corresponding to the engaging body 64 of the cluster lower 54 at the lower part of the front wall 66 and the inclined walls 68 and 70. . The frame body 72 protrudes in a direction substantially orthogonal to the front wall 66 or the inclined walls 68 and 70, and a mounting portion of an engagement body 64 provided in the cluster lower 54 is provided in the frame body 72. 64C can be inserted in a narrowed state.

  When the mounting portion 64C is inserted into the frame body 72 and the mounting portion 64C is restored, the mounting portion 64C is prevented from coming off (the mounting portion 64C is engaged with the frame body 72). When an impact load is input to the mounting portion 64C via the display 12, for example, the frame body 72 is pulled downward via the mounting portion 64C to be elastically deformed (including partly plastic deformation), and the mounting portion 64C. Narrows and goes out of the frame 72. Thereby, the engagement state between the mounting portion 64C and the frame body 72 is released. Note that the engagement state between the mounting portion 64C and the frame body 72 may be released when the mounting portion 64C or the frame body 72 is broken. That is, impact energy can be absorbed until the mounting portion 64C or the frame body 72 breaks, including elastic deformation and plastic deformation of the mounting portion 64C and the frame body 72.

  Further, on the back side of the cluster upper 52, there are engaging pieces 74 as first engaging portions in the vicinity of the upper ends of the front wall 66 and the frame bodies 72 of the inclined walls 68, 70. Each extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the walls 68 and 70. At the tip of the engagement piece 74, a claw portion 74A having a substantially triangular cross section is projected. The claw portion 74A can be engaged with a recess 13A as a first engaged portion formed in the opening 13 (see FIG. 1) of the instrument panel 10.

  Further, the flange portion 66A is opposed to the base portion side of the engagement piece 74, and the peripheral edge of the opening portion 13 in a state where the claw portion 74A of the engagement piece 74 is engaged with the recess portion 13A formed in the opening portion 13. The portion is sandwiched between the base side of the engagement piece 74 and the flange portion 66A. When an impact load is input to the claw portion 74A via the display 12 in this state, the engaged state between the claw portion 74A and the recess 13A is released. Here, the engagement strength between the claw portion 74A and the recess 13A is set to be larger than the engagement strength between the mounting portion 64C and the frame body 72.

(Operation and effect of instrument panel structure)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the display 12 is attached to the display cluster 50 so as to protrude from the upper surface of the instrument panel main body 15. The display cluster 50 includes a cluster upper 52 and a cluster lower 54. As an energy absorbing means, the cluster upper 52 is provided with a claw 74A, and a recess 13A formed in the opening 13 of the instrument panel 10. Is engaged. In addition to this, as an energy absorbing means, the cluster upper 52 is provided with a frame 72, the cluster lower 54 is provided with an engaging body 64, and the mounting portion 64 </ b> C of the engaging body 64 is attached to the frame 72 Is engaged. The engagement strength between the claw portion 74A and the recess 13A is set to be greater than the engagement strength between the mounting portion 64C and the frame body 72.

  That is, the engagement between the mounting portion 64C and the frame 72 is released with a lower load than the engagement between the claw portion 74A and the concave portion 13A. Here, since the cluster upper 52 and the cluster lower 54 are made of resin, they can be elastically deformed. For this reason, the nail | claw part 74A, the mounting part 64C, and the frame 72 are pulled in the process in which the engagement state of the nail | claw part 74A, the mounting part 64C, and the frame 72 in the display cluster 50 is cancelled | released, and elastic deformation (plastic deformation is also included). Impact energy is absorbed.

  Further, when an impact load is input to the display 12, the load is transmitted to the display cluster 50 via the display 12. Thereby, when the engagement state between the mounting portion 64 </ b> C and the frame body 72 is released, the cluster lower 54 falls off. Since the duct 34 is disposed below the display 12, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3, when the cluster lower 54 falls off, the cluster lower 54 hits the duct 34 and the duct 34 is bent (elastic). Deformation) and collapse (plastic deformation). This also absorbs impact energy.

  That is, with the above configuration, even when the occupant has a secondary collision with the display 12 at the time of the collision of the vehicle 11, elastic deformation by the claw portions 74 </ b> A, the mounting portions 64 </ b> C and the frame body 72 provided in the display cluster 50 and plastic deformation of the duct 34. The shock energy is absorbed by such as. Therefore, the impact received by the occupant from the display 12 when the vehicle 11 collides can be reduced.

  In addition, the claw portion 74A, the mounting portion 64C, the frame body 72, and the like are deformed (elastically deformed and plastically deformed) so as to absorb impact energy, so that a device is separately provided as an energy absorbing means. Thus, the weight of the instrument panel 10 can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, by configuring the display cluster 50 to include the cluster upper 52 and the cluster lower 54, a display cluster 50 having a complicated shape can be formed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the display 12 is arranged at the center of the instrument panel body 15 in the vehicle width direction so as to protrude from the upper surface of the instrument panel body 15. Thereby, although not illustrated, the visibility of the display 12 can be improved as compared with the case where the display 12 is arranged in the center cluster 44, for example.

(Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, as the energy absorbing means, the display cluster 50 is provided with the claw portion 74A, the mounting portion 64C, and the frame body 72, and in the process in which the cluster lower 54 is disengaged from the cluster upper 52, respectively. The impact energy is absorbed by elastic deformation. However, in addition to this, after the cluster lower 54 is disengaged from the cluster upper 52, the interference member is plastically deformed by the interference between the cluster lower 54 and the vehicle-mounted components located below the cluster lower 54. Thus, the impact energy may be absorbed.

(1) For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of ribs 76 are arranged on the back surface of the cluster lower 54 as energy absorbing means along the vehicle width direction. That is, the ribs 76 are formed on the movement trajectory where the cluster lower 54 drops off. Here, “on the movement trajectory where the cluster lower 54 is dropped” refers to the mounting portion 64C provided in the cluster lower 54 and the frame body 72 provided in the upper portion, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. This means that the rib 76 is provided on the trajectory along which the cluster lower 54 moves when the engagement state is released.

  The rib 76 here is not a reinforcing rib but an energy absorbing member, so that the plate thickness is thinner than the reinforcing rib. Further, a thin horizontal rib 77 extending in the vehicle width direction may be formed so as to bridge adjacent ribs 76. Thereby, although the plate | board thickness of the rib 76 is thin, energy absorption power can be raised.

  In this way, by providing the rib 76 as the energy absorbing means on the movement trajectory from which the cluster lower 54 is dropped, the rib 76 is released from the duct 34 after the cluster lower 54 is released from the engagement state with the cluster upper 52. The impact energy is absorbed by being bent (elastically deformed) and crushed (plastically deformed). Further, the impact energy is absorbed by the duct 34 being bent and crushed through the rib 76.

(2) In addition to being provided in the display cluster 50 itself as a configuration in which ribs for energy absorption are provided on the movement trajectory from which the cluster lower 54 falls off, as shown in FIG. The rib 34 for energy absorption may be provided in the duct 34 located in the position.

(3) Further, as shown in FIG. 6, energy absorbing ribs 80 may be provided in the center registers 22 and 24 (see FIG. 1 for the center register 22) connected to the duct 34. Here, when the ribs 80 for energy absorption are provided in the center registers 22 and 24, in order to arrange the ribs 80 on the movement trajectory where the cluster lower 54 drops, the case of FIG. 4 and FIG. In comparison, the display 12 is disposed on the vehicle rear side.

(4) On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, when a plurality of ribs 76 are provided on the back surface of the cluster lower 54, impact energy is absorbed by deformation of the ribs 76. For example, as shown in FIG. 7. In addition, an in-vehicle component having high rigidity such as the audio device 46 may be disposed below the cluster lower 54. That is, the rib 76 is bent by the interference with the audio device 46 and is crushed to absorb the impact energy. As described above, by allowing the audio device 46 to be disposed below the cluster lower 54, it is possible to improve the degree of design freedom in the arrangement of the in-vehicle components. Note that the above embodiments may be combined with each other.

(Supplement of embodiment)
(1) As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the display cluster 50 is composed of a plurality of members of the cluster upper 52 and the cluster lower 54. However, as shown in FIG. Of course, the display cluster 82 may be used. In this case, when an impact load is input to the display cluster 82 via the display 12, the display cluster 82 itself falls off as shown in FIG.

  Thus, by forming the display cluster 82 with one member, the engagement strength as the energy absorbing means is formed in the engagement piece 74 provided in the display cluster 82 and the opening 13 of the instrument panel main body 15. It is possible to adjust between the recessed portion 13A. Moreover, since one member (display cluster 82) should just be engaged with the recessed part 13A, assembly workability | operativity is also good.

(2) Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, an engaging body 64 is provided on the cluster lower 54 as the second engaging portion, and a frame body 72 is provided on the cluster upper 52 as the second engaged portion. The cluster lower 54 and the cluster upper 52 may be engaged with each other. For this reason, the shape of a 2nd engaging part and a 2nd to-be-engaged part is not restricted above.

  For example, a frame body 72 may be provided on the cluster lower 54 and an engagement body 64 may be provided on the cluster upper 52. In addition, a claw portion may be formed in the cluster lower 54 and the cluster upper 52 so that the claw portions can be engaged with each other. Similarly, in the present embodiment, the engagement piece 74 is provided for the first engagement portion, but it is only necessary that the engagement portion 74 can be engaged with the recess 13 </ b> A formed in the opening 13 of the instrument panel body 15. The shape is not limited to this.

(3) Furthermore, in this embodiment, the engagement strength between the claw portion 74A and the recess 13A is set to be greater than the engagement strength between the mounting portion 64C of the engagement body 64 and the frame body 72. The engagement strength between the portion 74A and the recess 13A and the engagement strength between the mounting portion 64C and the frame 72 may be substantially the same, and the engagement strength between the claw portion 74A and the recess 13A may be the same. It may be set to be smaller than the engagement strength between the frame body 72 and the frame body 72. In this case, not only the cluster lower 54 is dropped, but the display cluster 50 including the cluster upper 52 is dropped.

(4) Furthermore, in this embodiment, the display cluster 50 may be composed of three or more members. For example, the mounting portion 64 </ b> C and the frame body 72 may be formed of a member different from the cluster lower 54 or the cluster upper 52. As a result, the second engaged portion and the second engaging portion can be formed even in a complicated shape.

(5) In the above embodiment, the impact energy is absorbed by dropping the cluster lower 54 or the pedestal 82 constituting a part of the pedestal 50. However, the pedestal does not necessarily drop off. . Here, impact energy is absorbed by the bending deformation of the pedestal (not shown). In this case, a gap is provided between the bottom surface of the pedestal and the vehicle-mounted component located below the pedestal, and the bending is performed within the gap. Will occur. Of course, even if this gap is not present, the pedestal may be able to be bent and deformed by pressing, for example, a duct through the bottom surface of the pedestal.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and other various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It is.
