Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automotive parts, and particularly to a taillight protection assembly and a taillight installation method. Background Art

[0002] When a heavy-duty vehicle travels on complex road conditions and under harsh working conditions, the taillight is extremely vulnerable to being damaged by flying stones. Therefore, in order to extend the service life of the taillight, a protective cover or other structures are generally installed at the taillight. As a protective component of the rear lamps of a heavy-duty vehicle, the taillight protective cover not only has a decorative function but also serves as a device for protecting the taillight.

[0003] Currently, taillight protection devices are divided into two types. One is a structure without a mesh cover, which generally uses an L-shaped or U-shaped plate as an installation and protection component. The taillight is installed on the L-shaped or U-shaped plate, and the bent part is used to block the upper part of the taillight to play a role in blocking rainwater, but this structure cannot resist external impacts. The other is a mesh cover structure, which includes an installation bottom plate and an external mesh cover. The installation bottom plate is fixedly installed on the bracket, and the taillight and the mesh cover are respectively fixedly installed on the installation bottom plate through bolts, so as to use the cooperation of the mesh cover and the installation bottom plate to provide all-round protection for the taillight.

[0004] For the existing taillight protection device with a mesh cover structure, although it can provide all-round protection for the taillight, it is necessary to install the installation bottom plate on the bracket using bolts, and respectively use bolts to fixedly connect the taillight and the mesh cover to the installation bottom plate. The number of assembled parts used is large, and the mesh cover and the installation bottom plate cannot be pre-assembled in advance. The mesh cover needs to be installed after the taillight is installed, and the on-site assembly process is complex, seriously affecting the production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems in the above background art that the existing taillight protection device with a mesh cover structure uses a large number of assembled parts, the on-site assembly process is complex, and the production efficiency is seriously affected, the present invention provides a taillight protection assembly.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention provides a taillight protection assembly, including a shield assembly, a taillight, and a taillight bracket. The shield assembly is a bottom-opening structure, and the taillight is inserted into the shield assembly from the bottom. The taillight and the shield assembly are synchronously fixedly installed on the taillight bracket through fixing bolts. In the way that the taillight is inserted from the bottom, the shield assembly is an integral structure. By using the fixing bolts to synchronously fix the taillight and the shield assembly, the steps of on-site assembly are simplified, and since the shield assembly is an integral structure, there is no need to assemble the shield assembly on-site, reducing the number of bolts used and facilitating the installation and use of the shield assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the shield assembly includes a housing with openings at the bottom and front. A mesh cover is fixedly provided at the front of the housing, and bolt positioning holes are provided on the back of the housing. The cooperation between the housing and the mesh cover can protect the tail lamp, and the mesh cover does not interfere with the illumination of the tail lamp. The bolt positioning holes are provided for fixing the installation of bolts, facilitating the use of fixing bolts to fix the shield assembly and the tail lamp as a whole. At the same time, the shield assembly and the tail lamp can be synchronously fixed and installed using the fixing bolts later, simplifying the steps of on-site assembly.

[0008] Preferably, a bolt installation guide groove is provided on the back of the housing. The bottom of the bolt installation guide groove penetrates the bottom of the housing. The bolt installation guide groove includes a vertical section and at least one horizontal section. One end of the horizontal section communicates with the bolt positioning hole. The bolt installation guide groove facilitates the integration of the fixing bolt with the tail lamp, so that the fixing bolt is not hindered during the installation of the tail lamp, eliminating the installation process of the fixing bolt, further simplifying the assembly procedure, and improving production efficiency. The horizontal section facilitates the lateral guidance and positioning support of the fixing bolt, avoiding the up and down movement of the shield assembly after overall assembly, so as to improve the connection stability between the tail lamp, the shield assembly and the tail lamp bracket.

[0009] Preferably, the length difference between the internal space of the shield assembly and the tail lamp is not less than the length of the horizontal section, ensuring that there is enough space for the fixing bolt to move along the horizontal section to the bolt positioning hole during the installation of the tail lamp, avoiding installation obstruction due to insufficient space and ensuring the smooth progress of the installation process.

[0010] Preferably, several bolt installation guide grooves are provided, and the several bolt installation guide grooves are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the housing, enabling the tail lamp to be firmly connected to the shield assembly at multiple positions, enhancing the stability of the overall structure, and also facilitating the installation and adaptation of tail lamps of different specifications.

[0011] Preferably, two avoidance grooves are provided on the back of the housing. The two avoidance grooves are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the housing. The bottom of the avoidance groove penetrates the bottom of the housing, used to avoid the license plate and facilitate the installation of the tail lamp bracket.

[0012] Preferably, the tail lamp includes a tail lamp main body, and several fixing bolts are pre-embedded on the back of the tail lamp main body. The pre-embedding of the fixing bolts reduces the steps of additionally installing fixing bolts during on-site assembly, making the connection between the tail lamp and the shield assembly and the tail lamp bracket more convenient and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the tail light bracket includes a bracket body with a variable cross-section. One end of the bracket body is fixedly provided with a connecting plate. Along its length direction, a first vertical beam and a second vertical beam are fixedly provided on the bracket body at intervals. Mounting holes for connecting with fixing bolts are provided on the first vertical beam and the second vertical beam. The bracket body with a variable cross-section can be adapted to the actual installation space, and at the same time, the overall weight can be reduced. The mounting holes on the first vertical beam and the second vertical beam correspond to the fixing bolts, which is convenient for the overall fixed installation and improves the reliability of the installation.

[0014] A method for installing a tail light is as follows: fixedly install the tail light bracket on the chassis frame; insert the tail light from the bottom of the shield assembly, and assemble the shield assembly and the tail light into one body; after the shield assembly and the tail light are assembled, synchronously fixedly connect the shield assembly, the whole tail light and the tail light bracket through fixing bolts. The shield assembly is an integral structure. Using the fixing bolts to synchronously fix the tail light and the shield assembly simplifies the on-site assembly steps. Moreover, since the shield assembly is an integral structure, there is no need to assemble the shield assembly on-site, reducing the number of bolts used and facilitating the installation and use of the shield assembly.

[0015] Preferably, the process of assembling the shield assembly and the tail light into one body is as follows: insert the tail light from the bottom of the shield assembly, so that the fixing bolts are inserted and move upward along the corresponding bolt installation guide grooves. After the fixing bolts move to the specified height, horizontally move the tail light body, so that the fixing bolts move along the corresponding horizontal sections until the fixing bolts move into the corresponding bolt positioning holes. By using the bolt installation guide grooves, the complex installation actions are decomposed into simple linear movements, which are easy for installers to operate, reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation accuracy and efficiency.

[0016] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the advantages of the present invention are as follows: 1. The bottom and front of the shell of the shield assembly are set to be open. A mesh cover is fixedly provided at the front of the shell. Bolt installation guide grooves and bolt positioning holes are provided on the back of the shell. The cooperation between the shell and the mesh cover can protect the tail light, and the mesh cover does not interfere with the illumination of the tail light. The settings of the bolt installation guide grooves and the bolt positioning holes facilitate the integration of the fixing bolts with the tail light, so that the fixing bolts are not blocked during the installation process of the tail light. The installation process of the fixing bolts is cancelled. Using the fixing bolts to synchronously fix the tail light and the shield assembly simplifies the on-site assembly steps. Moreover, since the shield assembly is an integral structure, there is no need to assemble the shield assembly on-site, reducing the number of bolts used and facilitating the installation and use of the shield assembly.

[0017] 2. The setting of the bolt installation guide grooves decomposes the complex installation actions into simple linear movements, which are easy for installers to operate, reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation accuracy and efficiency. Description of the Drawings

Detailed implementation manners

[0020] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0021] Embodiment 1 In a typical implementation manner of the present invention, as Figure 1 - Figure 2As shown in the figure, a taillight protection component is proposed, including: a shield component 1, a taillight 2, and a taillight bracket 3. The taillight bracket 3 is used to be fixedly connected to the chassis frame through bolts to play a supporting role. The taillight 2 is inserted into the shield component 1, and the taillight 2 and the shield component 1 are fixedly connected to the taillight bracket 3 through the same set of fixing bolts 202. The shield component 1 is an integral structure. Using the same set of fixing bolts 202 to fix the taillight 2 and the shield component 1 simultaneously effectively reduces the number of parts used, simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and since the shield component 1 is an integral structure, there is no need to assemble the shield component 1 on site, reducing the number of bolts used and facilitating the installation and use of the shield component 1.

[0022] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, the shield component 1 includes a housing 10. A mesh cover 104 is fixedly provided on the housing 10 by welding. The bottom and the front of the housing 10 are open. The mesh cover 104 is fixedly arranged at the front of the housing 10 by welding to block the front opening of the housing 10 and play a role in protecting the taillight 2. The bottom opening of the housing 20 facilitates the quick insertion of the taillight 2. The housing 10 and the mesh cover 104 can be welded and fixed in advance, without waiting to assemble the housing 10 and the mesh cover 104 on site after the taillight 2 is installed, simplifying the steps of on-site assembly. Moreover, the way of welding and fixing the housing 10 and the mesh cover 104 in advance reduces the number of bolts used and facilitates the installation and use of the shield component 1.

[0023] The back of the housing 10 is provided with bolt positioning holes 106. After the taillight 2 is inserted into the housing 10 from the bottom, the fixing bolts 202 can pass through the bolt positioning holes 106 to fixedly connect the taillight 2 and the housing 10 into one body. Thus, the shield component 1 and the taillight 2 as a whole can be fixedly installed on the taillight bracket 3 using the same set of fixing bolts 202. The number of required fixing bolts 202 is reduced, effectively simplifying the overall assembly process, reducing costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0024] The housing 10 includes a mounting base plate 101, a support portion 102, and a mesh cover 104. The mounting base plate 101 plays a role in protection and support. The mounting base plate 101 is an inverted L-shaped plate structure. The mounting base plate 101 includes a horizontal plate 1012 and a vertical plate 1011. The horizontal plate 1012 and the vertical plate 1011 are fixedly connected together. The horizontal plate 1012 is located above the vertical plate 1011. The horizontal plate 1012 is used to block the upper part of the taillight 2 to play functions such as protection and rain shielding. The vertical plate 1011 is used for fixedly connecting with the taillight 2 and plays a supporting role for the taillight 2. The mesh cover 104 is fixedly installed in front of the mounting base plate 101 by welding to be used for shielding and protecting the taillight 2 without hindering the illumination of the taillight 2.

[0025] The support part 102 is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 101 by welding for fixing the wire mesh cover 104. The support part 102 is of a U-shaped structure. The support part 102 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the horizontal plate 1012 of the mounting base plate 101 by welding. The support part 102 is arranged opposite to the vertical plate 1011 of the mounting base plate 101, so as to form an inverted U-shaped structure through the combination of the support part 102 and the mounting base plate 101. The wire mesh cover 104 is fixedly installed on the support part 102 by welding. Specifically, the upper side of the wire mesh cover 104 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the horizontal plate 1012 of the mounting base plate 101 by welding. Both the two sides and the lower side of the wire mesh cover 104 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the peripheral side of the support part 102 by welding. On the one hand, the fixed installation of the wire mesh cover 104 is realized. On the other hand, the connection firmness and stability between the mounting base plate 101 and the support part 102 can be assisted to be improved by the wire mesh cover 104.

[0026] As Figure 3 shown, in order to further improve the overall firmness and protection ability of the shield assembly 1, a connecting part 103 is also provided. The connecting part 103 is of a horizontally arranged L-shaped plate structure. There are several connecting parts 103. Both ends of the support part 102 are fixedly connected to both ends of the mounting base plate 101 through several connecting parts 103 respectively. The connecting part 103 is fixedly connected to the support part 102 and the mounting base plate 101 by welding. And several connecting parts 103 at the same end position are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. While improving the connection stability and firmness between the mounting base plate 101 and the support part 102, the two ends of the shield assembly 1 can also be blocked, and then the two ends of the tail lamp 2 can be shielded to protect the two ends of the tail lamp 2, and the overall weight of the shield assembly 1 is not increased too much. At the same time, the gap between adjacent connecting parts 103 can also be used for inserting the wiring harness of the tail lamp 2.

[0027] In order to further improve the connection firmness and stability between the mounting base plate 101 and the support part 102, a beak rib is also fixedly welded between the horizontal plate 1012 and the support part 102. The beak rib is of a variable cross-section structure and is used to fixedly connect the side edge of the horizontal plate 1012 to the support part 102 to improve the overall stiffness.

[0028] The length of the internal space of the shield assembly 1 is slightly greater than the length of the tail lamp 2, which ensures that there is enough space for the fixing bolt 202 to move along the horizontal section 1051 to the bolt positioning hole 106 during the installation process of the tail lamp 2, avoiding installation obstruction due to insufficient space and ensuring the smooth progress of the installation process. As Figure 4As shown in the figure, on the vertical plate 1011 of the mounting base plate 101, there are a bolt mounting guide groove 105, a bolt positioning hole 106 and an avoidance groove 107. The bolt mounting guide groove 105 is a vertically arranged F-shaped through groove. The bolt mounting guide groove 105 penetrates through the vertical plate 1011 of the mounting base plate 101, so that the bolt mounting guide groove 105 is communicated with the internal space of the shield assembly 1, facilitating the installation and guiding of the bolt. The bottom of the bolt mounting guide groove 105 penetrates through the bottom of the vertical plate 1011, so that when the taillight 2 containing the fixing bolt 202 is inserted into the shield assembly 1, the fixing bolt 202 can be avoided and guided to prevent the hindrance to the movement of the fixing bolt 202.

[0029] Specifically, the bolt mounting guide groove 105 includes a vertical section 1052 and a horizontal section 1051. The vertical section 1052 is vertically arranged, and the bottom of the vertical section 1052 penetrates through the bottom of the vertical plate 1011. There are two horizontal sections 1051, and the two horizontal sections 1051 are arranged up and down opposite to each other. The horizontal section 1052 is horizontally arranged and one end is connected to the vertical section 1052 to form an F-shaped groove structure in combination. There are two bolt positioning holes 106. One bolt positioning hole 106 is provided at the end of the horizontal section 1051 far from the vertical section 1052, and the bolt positioning hole 106 is communicated with the horizontal section 1051 for positioning the fixing bolt 202. Since the length of the internal space of the shield assembly 1 is slightly larger than that of the taillight 2, in actual installation, the taillight 2 is inserted into the shield assembly 1 from the bottom. During the insertion process, the fixing bolt 202 moves upward along the vertical section 1052 of the bolt mounting guide groove 105. After the taillight 2 is completely inserted into the shield assembly 1, the taillight 2 is moved horizontally so that the fixing bolt 202 moves into the bolt positioning hole 106, thereby realizing the fixed limit of the position of the taillight 2.

[0030] The setting of the bolt mounting guide groove 105 facilitates the integration of the fixing bolt 202 and the taillight 2, so that the fixing bolt 202 is not hindered during the installation process of the taillight 2, eliminating the installation process of the fixing bolt 202, further simplifying the assembly procedure and improving the production efficiency. The setting of the horizontal section 1051 facilitates the lateral guiding and positioning support of the fixing bolt 202, preventing the shield assembly 1 from moving up and down after overall assembly, so as to improve the connection stability of the taillight 2, the shield assembly 1 and the taillight bracket 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom and front of the housing 10 of the shield assembly 1 are set as openings. A mesh cover 104 is fixedly arranged at the front of the housing 10, and a bolt installation guide groove 105 and bolt positioning holes 106 are arranged at the back of the housing 10. The cooperation between the housing 10 and the mesh cover 104 can protect the tail lamp 2, and the mesh cover 104 does not prevent the illumination of the tail lamp 2. The arrangement of the bolt installation guide groove 105 and bolt positioning holes 106 facilitates the integration of the fixing bolts 202 with the tail lamp 2, so that the fixing bolts 202 are not obstructed during the installation process of the tail lamp 2. The installation process of the fixing bolts 202 is cancelled, and the tail lamp 2 and the shield assembly 1 are synchronously fixed by using the fixing bolts 202, which simplifies the on-site assembly steps. Moreover, the shield assembly 1 is an integral structure, and there is no need to assemble the shield assembly 1 on-site, reducing the number of bolts used and facilitating the installation and use of the shield assembly.

[0032] The length difference between the internal space of the shield assembly 1 and the length of the tail lamp 2 is not less than the length of the horizontal section 1051 of the bolt installation guide groove 105 to ensure that during the lateral movement, the fixing bolt 22 can completely enter the bolt positioning hole 106 for positioning.

[0033] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the bolt installation guide groove 105 can also be set as an L-shaped through groove or other through groove structures, as long as it can ensure that the bolt installation guide groove 105 contains a vertical section 1052 and at least one horizontal section. Specific limitations are not made here.

[0034] In this embodiment, two bolt installation guide grooves 105 are provided, and the two bolt installation guide grooves 105 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vertical plate 1011. In other embodiments, the bolt installation guide groove 105 can also be set to three, four, five or other numbers, and specific selection can be made according to actual needs. Specific limitations are not made here.

[0035] A plurality of bolt installation guide grooves 105 are provided, and the plurality of bolt installation guide grooves 105 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the housing, so that the tail lamp 2 is stably connected to the shield assembly 1 at multiple positions, enhancing the stability of the overall structure and also facilitating the installation and adaptation of different specifications of the tail lamp 2.

[0036] Two avoidance grooves 107 are also provided on the vertical plate 1011. The avoidance grooves 107 are vertically arranged, and the two avoidance grooves 107 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vertical plate 1011. The bottom of the avoidance grooves 107 penetrates the bottom of the vertical plate 1011 to avoid the license plate and facilitate the installation of the tail lamp bracket 3.

[0037] Such as Figure 5As shown in the figure, the tail lamp 2 includes a tail lamp main body 201 and a plurality of fixing bolts 202. The plurality of fixing bolts 202 are pre-embedded and fixed on the back of the tail lamp main body 201. The number of the fixing bolts 202 is the same as the number of the bolt positioning holes 106, and the positional relationship among all the fixing bolts 202 is the same as the positional relationship among all the bolt positioning holes 106, so as to be used for positioning between the tail lamp 2 and the shield assembly 1. The pre-embedding of the fixing bolts 202 reduces the steps of additionally installing the fixing bolts 202 during on-site assembly, making the connection between the tail lamp 2 and the shield assembly 1 and the tail lamp bracket 3 more convenient and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0038] During actual use, the tail lamp 2 is inserted from the bottom of the shield assembly 1, and the shield assembly 1 and the tail lamp 2 are assembled into one body; after the shield assembly 1 and the tail lamp 2 are assembled, the shield assembly 1, the tail lamp 2 as a whole and the tail lamp bracket 3 are synchronously fixedly connected through the fixing bolts 202. The shield assembly 1 is an integral structure. Using the fixing bolts 202 to synchronously fix the tail lamp and the shield assembly simplifies the steps of on-site assembly. Moreover, since the shield assembly is an integral structure, there is no need to assemble the shield assembly on-site, reducing the number of bolts used and facilitating the installation and use of the shield assembly. When assembling the shield assembly 1 and the tail lamp 2 into one body, first insert the tail lamp 2 from the bottom of the shield assembly 1, so that the fixing bolts 202 are inserted and move upward along the corresponding bolt installation guide groove 105. After the fixing bolts 202 move to the specified height, horizontally move the tail lamp main body 201, so that the fixing bolts 202 move along the corresponding horizontal section 1051 until the fixing bolts 202 move into the corresponding bolt positioning holes 106. By using the bolt installation guide groove 105, the complex installation actions are decomposed into simple linear movements, which are easy for installers to operate, reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation accuracy and efficiency.

[0039] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, the tail lamp bracket 3 includes a bracket main body 301, a connecting plate 302, a first vertical beam 303 and a second vertical beam 304. The bracket main body 301 has a variable cross-section structure. The bracket main body 301 with variable cross-section can be adapted according to the actual installation space and can reduce the overall weight at the same time. There are two connecting plates 302, and the two connecting plates 302 are fixedly arranged at one end of the bracket main body 301 by welding. As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the connecting plate 302 is an L-shaped plate structure. Two connecting plates 302 are relatively fixedly arranged on both sides of one end of the bracket main body 301. A plurality of bolt holes are provided on the connecting plate 302 for the installation of bolts. Then, the bracket main body 301 is fixedly installed on the chassis frame through bolts. The first vertical beam 303 and the second vertical beam 304 are vertically and fixedly installed on the bracket main body 301 by welding. The first vertical beam 303 and the second vertical beam 304 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bracket main body 301. A plurality of mounting holes 305 are provided on both the first vertical beam 303 and the second vertical beam 304 for the installation of the fixing bolts 202. The mounting holes 305 on the first vertical beam 303 and the second vertical beam 304 correspond to the fixing bolts 202, which is convenient for the overall fixed installation and improves the reliability of the installation. Thus, the fixing bolts 202 are used to synchronously fix and install the shield assembly 1 and the taillight 2 on the bracket main body 301. The arrangement of the first vertical beam 303 and the second vertical beam 304 reduces the vertical dimension of the bracket main body 301. While realizing the installation function of the shield assembly 1 and the taillight 2, it plays a role in weight reduction. A plurality of weight reduction holes 306 are provided on both the bracket main body 301 and the connecting plate 302 to further reduce the overall weight of the taillight bracket 3 by using the weight reduction holes 306.

[0040] It can be understood that the distance between adjacent mounting holes 305 is determined according to the distance between the fixing bolts 202, and specific details are not limited here.

[0041] In the taillight protection assembly of this embodiment, it can reduce the destructive force on the taillight caused by vehicle impacts or impacts from stones, etc., and play a role in protecting the taillight. At the same time, its installation method is easy to operate and reduces the use of assembled parts. While reducing the product weight and saving costs, it can also effectively improve the usability and aesthetics.

[0042] Embodiment 2 In a typical implementation manner of the present invention, a taillight installation method is proposed, which adopts the taillight protection assembly in Embodiment 1. The specific process is as follows: First, use bolts to fixedly install the taillight bracket 3 on the chassis frame. Specifically, install the bolts into the bolt holes of the connecting plate 302, and fit the connecting plate 302 with the chassis frame, and fixedly connect the connecting plate 302 and the chassis frame through bolts. After the taillight bracket 3 is installed, insert the taillight 2 pre-embedded with the fixing bolt 202 into the shield assembly 1 from the bottom of the shield assembly 1. Specifically, the bottom of the shield assembly 1 is open, and the taillight 2 is inserted into the shield assembly 1 from the bottom and pushed upward. At this time, the fixing bolt 102 is inserted into the corresponding bolt installation guide groove 105, and the fixing bolt 202 moves upward along the bolt installation guide groove 105. After the fixing bolt 202 moves to the specified height, horizontally move the taillight body 201 so that the fixing bolt 202 moves along the corresponding horizontal section 1051 until the fixing bolt 202 moves into the corresponding bolt positioning hole 106 to complete the fixation of the position of the fixing bolt 202, thereby realizing the rapid assembly between the shield assembly 1 and the taillight 2. The setting of the bolt installation guide groove 105 facilitates the integration of the fixing bolt 202 and the taillight 2, so that the fixing bolt 202 is not hindered during the installation process of the taillight 2, eliminating the installation process of the fixing bolt 202, further simplifying the assembly procedure and improving the production efficiency. The setting of the horizontal section 1051 facilitates the lateral guidance and positioning support of the fixing bolt 202, avoiding the up and down movement of the shield assembly 1 after the overall assembly, so as to improve the connection stability of the taillight 2, the shield assembly 1 and the taillight bracket 3; After the shield assembly 1 and the taillight 2 are assembled, move the whole of the shield assembly 1 and the taillight 2 onto the taillight bracket 3 so that the fixing bolt 202 is installed into the installation hole 305 of the corresponding vertical beam and tighten the nut to realize the synchronous fixed installation between the shield assembly 1, the taillight 2 and the taillight bracket 3, completing the installation of the taillight 2. By using the bolt installation guide groove 105, the complex installation actions are decomposed into simple linear movements, which are easy for installers to operate, reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation accuracy and efficiency. In this embodiment, the bottom and the front of the housing 10 of the shield assembly 1 are set to be open. A mesh cover 104 is fixedly provided at the front of the housing 10. The back of the housing 10 is provided with a bolt installation guide groove 105 and a bolt positioning hole 106. The cooperation between the housing 10 and the mesh cover 104 can protect the taillight 2, and the mesh cover 104 does not interfere with the illumination of the taillight 2. The setting of the bolt installation guide groove 105 and the bolt positioning hole 106 facilitates the integration of the fixing bolt 202 and the taillight 2, so that the fixing bolt 202 is not hindered during the installation process of the taillight 2, eliminating the installation process of the fixing bolt 202. The taillight 2 and the shield assembly 1 are synchronously fixed by using the fixing bolt 202, simplifying the on-site assembly steps. Moreover, the shield assembly 1 is an integral structure, eliminating the need to assemble the shield assembly 1 on-site, reducing the number of bolts used and facilitating the installation and use of the shield assembly.
