[0029] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0030] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are generally used to define the orientation of the accompanying drawings, and "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer parts of the relevant components. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] With the development of new energy vehicles, in order to reduce energy consumption during driving and improve driving range, the demand for vehicle aerodynamic performance and wind resistance reduction is increasing.

[0033] In related technologies, the front aerodynamic spoiler structure of a vehicle is separated from the headlights. As two independent structures, they require two assembly processes during vehicle manufacturing, which is inefficient and cannot effectively reduce wind resistance at the headlights. For example, the front aerodynamic spoiler structure is generally designed on both sides of the front of the vehicle near the fenders, which is far from the headlights and cannot effectively reduce wind resistance at the headlights.

[0034] Therefore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, one aspect of this disclosure provides a vehicle lighting assembly, including a lamp body 202 and an air intake guide 203.

[0035] The air intake guide 203 is detachably connected to the lamp body 202. The air intake guide 203 is used to communicate with the air duct and can guide the air at the front of the vehicle into the air duct.

[0036] Among them, the air inlet guide component 203 can realize air inlet guidance, thereby achieving the effect of turbulence reduction and wind resistance reduction.

[0037] In the above technical solution, by integrating the air intake guide 203 with the lamp body 202, the two structures are transformed into a single unit, allowing for assembly in a single operation and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the integration of the air intake guide 203 and lamp body 202 creates airflow disturbance at the lamp body 202, which is a large windward area at the front of the vehicle, thus significantly reducing the overall drag coefficient. Additionally, the integrated design of the air intake guide 203 and lamp body 202 does not affect their individual functions. That is, the lamp body 202 can provide illumination, while the air intake guide 203 can guide airflow without interference. Moreover, the air intake guide 203 can be designed with different shapes, and after connecting with the outer wall of the lamp body 202, they can complement each other, enhancing the aesthetic appeal and design of the headlight assembly. The air intake guide 203 and the lamp body 202 can also be separated for easy replacement later. Understandably, during assembly, the air intake guide 203 and the lamp body 202 can be integrated together, and if the air intake guide 203 or the lamp body 202 is damaged during later use, it can be disassembled and replaced separately, reducing maintenance costs.

[0038] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the air inlet guide 203 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the lamp body 202. This arrangement facilitates the detachable operation of the air inlet guide 203 and the lamp body 202 without affecting the lamp body's illumination.

The first connecting portion 206 and the second connecting portion 207 are connected in a cooperative manner. This arrangement facilitates the connection and disconnection of the air inlet guide 203 and the lamp body 202, making the operation simple and quick. In some examples, the first connecting portion 206 and the second connecting portion 207 are snap-fitted together. Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, one of the first connecting portion 206 and the second connecting portion 207 is configured as a snap-fit, and the other is configured as a slot, with the snap-fit ​​capable of engaging with the slot.

[0040] The buckle can be inserted into a slot to achieve a connection between the buckle and the slot. In some examples, the slot can be a groove, and the two can directly engage after the buckle is inserted into the slot. In other examples, a hook can be provided in the slot, and the buckle can engage with the hook in the slot, thus confining the buckle in the slot and achieving a connection.

[0041] In some examples, the first connecting part 206 is configured as a slot and the second connecting part 207 is configured as a buckle. The slot can be formed by directly recessing the outer wall of the lamp body 202, while the buckle can be formed by protruding the side of the air inlet guide 203 facing the lamp body 202.

[0042] Optionally, in another embodiment of this disclosure, one of the first connecting part 206 and the second connecting part 207 is configured as an insertion head and the other is configured as a locking head. A limiting spring is provided inside the locking head, and the insertion head can be inserted into the locking head and cooperate with the limiting spring to realize the engagement of the insertion head and the locking head.

[0043] Alternatively, in another embodiment of this disclosure, the air intake guide 203 and the lamp body 202 may also be integrally formed and cannot be separated.

[0046] Optionally, the first connecting part 206 is located near the front end of the lamp body 202, and the second connecting part 207 is located near the front end of the air inlet guide 203. The locking mechanism 208 serves as a layer of connection and fixation, and the connection between the first connecting part 206 and the second connecting part 207 achieves a layer of connection and fixation, thereby realizing a two-layer connection relationship.

[0047] The first connecting part 206 and the second connecting part 207 are mainly for connecting and fixing the front end of the lamp body 202 and the air inlet guide 203, while the locking mechanism 208 is mainly for connecting and fixing the rear end of the lamp body 202 and the air inlet guide 203.

[0048] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the air intake guide 203 is connected to the top or bottom of the lamp body 202 in the height direction of the vehicle.

The mating portion 2082 can be integrally formed with the lamp body 202, and in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the mating portion 2082 is close to the rear end of the lamp body 202. In some examples, the mating portion 2082 is formed by protruding rearward from the rear end of the lamp body 202. The rear end of the lamp body 202 and the rear end of the air inlet guide 203 do not need to have too many structures, which facilitates the arrangement of the protruding part 2081 and the mating part 2082, and can be connected by screws or other means to improve the connection stability and reliability.

[0051] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the protruding portion 2081 is provided with a first connecting hole, and the mating portion 2082 is provided with a second connecting hole. The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are interconnected and allow screws to pass through. The protruding portion 2081 is connected to the mating portion 2082 by screws. With this arrangement, the connection and disassembly of the protruding portion 2081 and the mating portion 2082 can be realized, allowing the air inlet guide 203 and the lamp body 202 to be disassembled and integrated. At the same time, the screw connection method can improve the connection strength between the protruding portion 2081 and the mating portion 2082.

[0052] In this design, both the first and second connecting holes are used for screw insertion, with the axis of the first connecting hole and the axis of the second connecting hole coaxially aligned. In some examples, the first connecting hole may be a through hole, and the second connecting hole may be a threaded hole. The screw passes through the first connecting hole and then engages with the threaded connection in the second connecting hole, thereby connecting and fixing the protruding part 2081 and the mating part 2082. In some examples, the axes of both the first and second connecting holes extend along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0053] Optionally, in one embodiment of this disclosure, in the height direction of the vehicle, the air intake guide 203 is connected to the top of the lamp body 202, and the top of the air intake guide 203 is provided with a guide groove 204.
