First guide grooves 32 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the diffuser 3, and a first guide block 33 that matches the first guide groove 32 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of one side of the optical cavity 4. When installing the diffuser 3, first align the first guide groove 32 on the diffuser 3 with the first guide block 33 on the optical cavity 4, and then push the diffuser 3 into the interior of the optical cavity 4 under the guiding action of the first guide groove 32 and the first guide block 33, and the position of the first mounting hole 31 provided on the diffuser 3 corresponds to the position of the second mounting hole on the optical cavity 4, and then screw the first screw into the first mounting hole 31 and the second mounting hole in sequence, and at this time the diffuser 3 is fixed inside the optical cavity 4.

The second slot 61 opened on the optical cavity cover 6 corresponds to the position of the second elastic buckle 44. At this time, the optical cavity cover 6 no longer squeezes the second elastic buckle 44, and the second elastic buckle 44 returns to its original shape. With the cooperation of the second elastic buckle 44 and the second slot 61, the optical cavity cover 6 can be fixed. At this time, the position of the optical component 5 is fixed under the action of the optical cavity cover 6.
[0034] The above-mentioned HUD small-volume modular PGU is suitable for both HUD metal shells and plastic shells. When the HUD uses a plastic shell, a radiator 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the LED light board 8 away from the optical cavity 4.

The pre-installation can be carried out simultaneously during production, which reduces production hours and reduces production costs.
