The inner side of the wind deflector 1 is provided with a mounting seat 8. The mounting seat 8 is detachably connected to the engine housing 4 through a connecting piece. The mounting seat 8 and the connecting piece are both arranged on the side of the cooling fan 3 facing the engine housing 4. In this embodiment, the mounting seat 8 is integrally formed with the wind deflector 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting seat 8 and the wind deflector 1 can also be fixed by welding or other methods.

[0023] In this embodiment, the connecting piece is preferably a connecting bolt 5. The mounting seat 8 is provided with a mounting through hole matched with the connecting bolt 5, so that the mounting seat 8 is connected to the engine housing 4 through the connecting bolt 5. The detachable connection between the mounting seat 8 and the engine housing 4 is achieved through the connecting bolt 5, so that the assembly operation can be facilitated. In this embodiment, the axis of the mounting through hole is parallel to the axis of the cooling fan 3, so that the axis of the connecting bolt 5 is arranged parallel to the axis of the cooling fan 3, which is conducive to the assembly operation.

[0024] In this embodiment, the wind deflector 1 is provided with an assembly opening 2 corresponding to the connecting bolt 5. The connecting bolt 5 can be directly operated through the assembly opening 2, so that the assembly operation of the wind deflector 1 can be further simplified.
