At the same time, this arrangement can shield the internal structure of the cab and improve the aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the body 10 includes a front cross member of the vehicle frame, and the bumper assembly 30 is fixedly mounted on the front cross member of the vehicle frame by bolts, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the bumper assembly 30 .

[0045] Furthermore, the first curtain 40 extends in an arc along the direction of the first interval, and / or the second curtain 50 extends in an arc along the direction of the second interval. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first curtain 40 extends in an arc along the direction of the first interval, and the second curtain 50 extends in an arc along the direction of the second interval. This arrangement ensures that the shapes of the first curtain 40 and the second curtain 50 match the shape of the installation location, improving the airflow guidance effect and effectively reducing the vehicle's wind resistance.

[0046] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the first curtain 40 includes a first body 41 and a second body 42, which are connected.

After the maintenance is completed, the second body 42 can return to its original state and perform normal air diversion.

[0047] Furthermore, the first connecting portion is a first connecting hole 411, and a first threaded hole 31 is provided on the bumper assembly 30. The first bolt passes through the first connecting hole 411 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 31, thereby connecting the first body 41 to the bumper assembly 30. This arrangement makes the connection stable and reliable.

[0048] Optionally, the number of the first connection holes 411 and the number of the first threaded holes 31 are specifically set according to actual use, which will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first body 41 and the second body 42 are both made of PP / EPDM (polypropylene / ethylene propylene diene monomer) material. It is understood that the first body 41115 and the second body 42116 are respectively made of PP / EPDM materials of different hardness and formulation.

[0050] Furthermore, the second body 42 includes an arcuate portion and a first air guide portion 422. The arcuate portion and the first air guide portion 422 are arranged at an angle.
