[0002] The domestic automotive industry is developing rapidly. To meet the demands of customers and automakers in the face of competition, the requirements for the functionality and appearance of vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent. Daytime running lights (DRLs) and air ducts are components installed at the front of the vehicle. The main function of DRLs is to make vehicles more visible during the day; while air ducts serve two purposes: cooling the tires and brakes, and reducing wind resistance to improve vehicle efficiency. Currently, vehicles on the market that incorporate both DRLs and air ducts typically have them arranged separately, with the DRLs inside the headlights and the air ducts on either side of the front bumper. This is difficult to achieve given the limited space around the headlights, leading some cars to omit the DRLs, resulting in less comprehensive functionality. Utility Model Content

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0030] The terms “include,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated structure for daytime running lights and air ducts, including a daytime running light 10 and an air duct structure 20. The daytime running light 10 is mounted on the air duct structure 20, forming the air duct structure 20 and the daytime running light 10 as one unit. When the air duct structure 20 is installed, the daytime running light 10 and the air duct structure 20 are located on both sides of the front bumper of the car. The lamp cover 11 of the daytime running light 10 is adjacent to the air inlet of the air duct structure 20. The orientation of the lamp cover 11 of the daytime running light 10 and the extension direction of the air inlet of the air duct structure 20 are both consistent with the length direction of the car.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air duct structure 20 has a first air duct portion 22 and a second air duct portion 23 connected to each other. The air duct 21 of the air duct structure 20 is formed between the first air duct portion 22 and the second air duct portion 23. The first air duct portion 22 and the second air duct portion 23 are detachably connected by a snap-fit structure. The air duct structure 20 is attached to and connected to the outer side wall of the daytime running light 10 through the first air duct portion 22.
[0033] In summary, the integrated structure of daytime running light and air duct provided in this embodiment can reduce wind resistance and dissipate heat through the air duct 21 of the air duct structure 20, and the daytime running light 10 is installed on the first air duct part 22 of the air duct structure 20, and can also be compatible with the daytime reminder function of the daytime running light 10.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the daytime running light 10 has a first extension 12 and a second extension 13 extending from it. The first extension 12 and the second extension 13 are located on opposite sides of the daytime running light 10, and are respectively connected to the first air duct section 22 and the second air duct section 23 of the air duct structure 20. The connection between the first extension 12 and the second extension 13 of the daytime running light 10 and the first air duct section 22 and the second air duct section 23 of the air duct structure 20 ensures a more secure connection between the daytime running light 10 and the air duct structure 20, preventing the daytime running light 10 from detaching from the air duct structure 20 due to bumps caused by vehicle movement.
[0035] The first extension 12 and the second extension 13 are detachably connected to the first air duct section 22 and the second air duct section 23. For example, screw holes are provided on the first extension 12, the second extension 13, the first air duct section 22, and the second air duct section 23, and bolts are passed through these screw holes to detachably connect the air duct structure 20 and the daytime running light 10. This allows for more flexible installation of the daytime running light 10 and the air duct structure 20. When maintenance of the air duct structure 20 or the daytime running light 10 is required, they can be disassembled for separate maintenance, reducing the difficulty of maintenance.
[0036] At the same time, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in order to make the air duct structure 20 and the daytime running light 10 more securely installed, a buckle 14 and a slot 24 are respectively provided on the outer wall of the daytime running light 10 and the first air duct portion 22 of the air duct structure 20. The slot 24 is opened in the vertical direction of the car. The daytime running light 10 and the first air duct portion 22 of the air duct structure 20 are engaged by the buckle 14 and the slot 24. The buckle 14 of the daytime running light 10 is embedded in the slot 24 of the first air duct portion 22 along the vertical direction of the car. Then, the first extension portion 12 and the second extension portion 13 of the daytime running light 10 and the first air duct portion 22 and the second air duct portion 23 of the air duct structure 20 are connected respectively, so that the air duct structure 20 and the daytime running light 10 are securely connected together.
[0037] As described above, the air duct structure 20 and the daytime running light 10 are assembled together. The first air duct section 22 and the second air duct section 23 of the air duct structure 20 are provided with multiple mounting holes for connecting with the car body. Then, the air duct structure 20 is installed on the car body through the mounting holes of the first air duct section 22 and the second air duct section 23 of the air duct structure 20. Since the daytime running light 10 is connected to the air duct structure 20 as one unit, the daytime running light 10 is also installed on the car body.
[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the second air duct section 23 of the air duct structure 20 provided in this embodiment has a notch 231, which communicates with the air duct 21 of the air duct structure 20. The airflow flowing into the air duct 21 of the air duct structure 20 from the air inlet of the air duct structure 20 is diverted at the notch 231 of the second air duct section 23. Figure 2 As shown, the notch 231 of the second air duct section 23 is located near the air inlet of the air duct structure 20. When the airflow enters the air duct 21 from the air inlet, it is diverted by the notch 231 of the second air duct section 23. Part of the airflow flows out from the notch 231, and the other part of the airflow is guided by the air duct 21 to the tires and brakes to dissipate heat from the tires and brakes. This ensures that there is airflow to dissipate heat from the tires and brakes, while also allowing part of the airflow to be discharged through the notch 231 to reduce wind resistance.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the first air duct section 22 of the air duct structure 20 is bent to form a mounting section 25 and a bending section 26 connected in sequence. The daytime running light 10 is connected to the mounting section 25 of the first air duct section 22. The bending section 26 bends toward the side of the daytime running light 10. The bending of the first air duct section 22 is the bending of the air duct 21. The daytime running light 10 is installed through the mounting section 25, and the airflow is guided through the bending section 26. The airflow can be flexibly directed to the tires or brakes. The connection between the mounting section 25 and the bending section 26 is a smooth curved surface, which is beneficial for guiding the airflow. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the air duct 21 of the air duct structure 20 gradually decreases in the air intake direction, which can increase the air pressure at the tires or brakes and improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0040] In summary, the integrated structure of daytime running light and air duct provided in this embodiment is compatible with daytime running light 10 and air duct structure 20. Even in the case of a compact space at the headlight of a car, it can simultaneously ensure the effect of daytime running light 10 and heat dissipation for tires and brakes. Furthermore, it provides reasonable airflow guidance, thus achieving both heat dissipation and wind resistance reduction.
[0041] This embodiment also provides a car, including the daytime running light and air duct integrated structure as described above. There are two daytime running light and air duct integrated structures, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the front bumper of the car.
[0042] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
