[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment provides a headlight assembly 100, including an upper handlebar cover 120, a lower handlebar cover 130, a handlebar 110, and a windshield 140. The upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 surround the two sides of the handlebar 110. The windshield 140 is connected to the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 through a connector 150. A mounting groove 141 is provided on the inner side of the windshield 140, and the connector 150 is partially accommodated in the mounting groove 141.

[0030] When assembling the headgear assembly 100 of this application, the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 are first installed on the upper and lower sides of the handlebar 110, respectively. Then, the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 are connected by one side of the connector 150. Then, one end of the connector 150 is inserted into the mounting groove 141 of the windshield 140 to achieve the connection between the connector 150 and the windshield 140, thereby completing the assembly of the headgear assembly 100. Through the cooperation between the connector 150 and the mounting groove 141, the windshield 140 is accurately positioned and securely connected.

[0031] The headlight assembly 100 provided in this application includes an upper handlebar cover 120, a lower handlebar cover 130, a handlebar 110, and a windshield 140. The upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 surround both sides of the handlebar 110. The windshield 140 is connected to the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 via a connector 150. A mounting groove 141 is provided on the inner side of the windshield 140, and the connector 150 is partially accommodated in the mounting groove 141. The mounting groove 141 on the inner side of the windshield 140 cooperates with the connector 150 to precisely define the installation position of the windshield 140. Compared with the prior art that relies solely on multiple fasteners for connection, this structural design can more accurately determine the installation position of the windshield 140, avoiding problems such as windshield 140 offset or tilting due to installation errors. This improves the installation accuracy of the windshield 140, ensuring that it can better protect the dashboard and block light.

[0032] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connector 150 has a first connecting part on the side facing the handlebar 110 and a second connecting part on the side facing the windshield 140. The upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 are connected through the first connecting part, and the windshield 140 is connected through the second connecting part.

[0033] During installation, the first connecting part is first aligned with the corresponding positions of the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130. The connecting part 150 is initially fixed to the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 through a specific connection method (such as snap-fit ​​or bolt connection). Then, the second connecting part is connected to the mounting groove 141 on the inner side of the windshield 140, thereby completing the overall installation of the windshield 140 with the connecting part 150, the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130.

[0034] By designing connector 150 with different connecting parts on both sides, the division of labor among the components of the hood assembly 100 is clearly defined, enhancing the rationality and stability of the connection structure. Compared to traditional single-connection methods, this structure can better distribute the external forces experienced by each component during vehicle operation, reducing the risk of loosening due to improper connections. Because the connection division is clear, the connection positions and states of each component can be adjusted more easily during installation, reducing installation difficulty and improving efficiency. Furthermore, during later maintenance or component replacement, more precise operation can be performed on specific connection points, reducing maintenance time and costs.

[0035] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting groove 141 is formed by a top plate 142 located inside the windshield 140 and side plates 143 located on both sides of the top plate 142, and the included angle between the two side plates 143 is an acute angle.

[0036] During installation, align the second connecting part of connector 150 with the mounting groove 141. Utilizing the acute angle structure between the side plates 143, the side plates 143 exert a certain compressive force on the second connecting part as it is inserted into the mounting groove 141, aiding in achieving a tight connection. Simultaneously, ensure the accurate relative position of connector 150 and mounting groove 141 during installation to guarantee stability. This improves the overall stability of the headgear assembly 100.

[0037] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an insert plate 144 is provided on the upper edge of the mounting groove 141, and a slot 153 corresponding to the insert plate 144 is provided on the second connecting part. When the second connecting part is connected to the mounting groove 141, the insert plate 144 is inserted into the slot 153.

[0038] During installation, the second connecting part of the connector 150 is first initially aligned with the mounting groove 141. Then, the insert plate 144 on the upper edge of the mounting groove 141 is aligned with the slot 153 of the second connecting part, and the insert plate 144 is forcefully inserted into the slot 153 to complete the connection between the windshield 140 and the connector 150. This connection method is simple to operate and requires no additional tools. After the insert plate 144 is inserted into the slot 153, it can effectively restrict the relative movement between the connector 150 and the mounting groove 141, further enhancing the connection stability between the windshield 140 and the connector 150, preventing the connection from loosening due to vibration or other factors during vehicle operation, and ensuring the safety and reliability of the hood assembly 100.

[0039] Furthermore, the side panel 143 is provided with a through hole 1431, and the second connecting part is provided with a connecting hole 154 corresponding to the through hole 1431. The windshield 140 and the second connecting part are connected by fasteners passing through the through hole 1431 and the connecting hole 154.

[0040] When installing the windshield 140, first align the second connecting part of the connector 150 with the mounting groove 141 of the windshield 140, then align the insert plate 144 on the upper edge of the mounting groove 141 and insert it into the slot 153 of the second connecting part, so that the through hole 1431 of the side plate 143 is aligned with the connecting hole 154 of the second connecting part, and then pass the fastener through the through hole 1431 and the connecting hole 154 to complete the connection between the windshield 140 and the connector 150.

[0041] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper handlebar cover 120 is provided with a plurality of first snap-fit ​​pieces 121, and the lower handlebar cover 130 is provided with a plurality of second snap-fit ​​pieces 131 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​pieces. The upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 are connected by snap-fit ​​pieces 121 and second snap-fit ​​pieces 131.

[0042] During installation, align the corresponding positions of the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130, bringing the first snap-fit ​​connector 121 and the second snap-fit ​​connector 131 close together. By pressing or other operations, the first snap-fit ​​connector 121 snaps into the second snap-fit ​​connector 131, completing the connection between the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130. For disassembly, apply external force to separate the snap-fit ​​connectors. This snap-fit ​​connection method eliminates the need for additional tools, making operation simple and convenient, significantly reducing the installation time of the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130, and improving production efficiency.

[0043] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting part includes two first snap-fit ​​arms 151 located on the upper side of the connector 150, and the handlebar cover 120 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​groove 122 corresponding to the first snap-fit ​​arms 151.

[0044] Furthermore, the first connecting part includes two second locking arms 152 located on the lower side of the connector 150, and the handlebar cover 130 is provided with a second locking groove 132 corresponding to the second locking arms 152.

[0045] The engagement of the two first locking arms 151 with the first locking slot 122 provides a stable connection between the connector 150 and the handlebar upper cover 120, and the engagement of the second locking arm 152 with the second locking slot 132 provides a stable connection between the connector 150 and the handlebar lower cover 130. This provides a large connection force and effectively prevents relative displacement between the connector 150 and the handlebar upper cover 120 during vehicle operation, thereby enhancing the stability of the head cover assembly 100 connection structure and ensuring the safety of the head cover components during vehicle operation.

[0046] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the handlebar cover 130 is provided with a fixing hole 133, and the connector 150 is provided with a mounting hole 155 corresponding to the fixing hole 133. The handlebar cover 130 and the connector 150 are connected by fasteners passing through the fixing hole 133 and the mounting hole 155.

[0047] Specifically, when assembling the head cover assembly 100, the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130 are placed on both sides of the handlebar 110. After aligning their corresponding positions, the first latching member 121 and the second latching member 131 are brought close to each other. By pressing or other operations, the first latching member 121 is snapped into the second latching member 131, completing the connection between the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130. Subsequently, the engagement of the two first latching arms 151 with the first latching slot 122 provides a stable connection between the connector 150 and the upper handlebar cover 120. The engagement of the second latching arms 152 with the second latching slot 132 provides a stable connection between the connector 150 and the lower handlebar cover 130. Fasteners are used to connect the lower handlebar cover 130 and the connector 150 through the fixing hole 133 and the mounting hole 155 to increase the connection stability between the connector 150 and the upper handlebar cover 120 and the lower handlebar cover 130. Then, align the second connecting part of the connector 150 with the mounting groove 141 of the windshield 140, align the insert plate 144 on the upper edge of the mounting groove 141 with the slot 153 of the second connecting part, so that the through hole 1431 of the side plate 143 is aligned with the connecting hole 154 of the second connecting part, and then pass the fastener through the through hole 1431 and the connecting hole 154 to complete the connection between the windshield 140 and the connector 150.
