The driver sits in this space for undisturbed driving.

[0027] A driver enclosure for protecting a bus, see attached Figure 1 , including a rear enclosure located behind the driver and a right enclosure located to the right of the driver, which are hinged by four stainless steel hinges 26. The rear enclosure is L-shaped, and its bottom is connected to the vehicle body by two bottom fixing brackets 12, and its side is connected to the vehicle body by two side fixing brackets 13. The top is connected to the vehicle body ceiling by a handrail rod 14. One side of the right enclosure is hinged to the rear enclosure, and can be movably rotated at the hinge, and the other side acts with a locking structure set on the table 27; the table 27 is provided with a belly plate at the matching position with the right enclosure, and the table 27 is connected with a first handrail 24 by hidden screws, and the first handrail 24 is connected to a second handrail 25 fixed to the vehicle body, and also includes a second handrail 25 fixed to the transparent tempered glass 22 by multiple clamps 23, and is connected to the fence handrail of the coin machine. The present invention abandons the method of setting the locking structure by the independent door front column set in the prior art, and optimizes the spatial layout.

[0028] The right enclosure main structure is connected by a right enclosure main column profile 1, a right enclosure first built-in profile 2, and a right enclosure second built-in profile 3 to form a profile frame, the profile frame is wrapped with a foam body, and a transparent glass 9 is connected to the profile frame. Specifically, the right enclosure main column profile 1, the right enclosure first built-in profile 2, and the right enclosure second built-in profile 3 are riveted and fixed to each other through an angle iron bracket 6, and the right enclosure inner foam body 7 and the right enclosure outer foam body 8 are folded together and wrapped outside the profile frame, such as Figure 5-6 Preferably, the right surround inner foam body 7 and the right surround outer foam body 8 are inserted into the right surround main column profile 1 and the right surround second built-in profile 3 for edge finishing, the right side of the transparent glass 9 above the right surround is inserted into the right surround main column profile 1, and the lower part is inserted into the right surround first built-in profile 2 and the right surround second built-in profile 3. Six perforations are arranged around the periphery that cooperates with the profile frame. When the right surround inner foam body 7 and the right surround outer foam body 8 are closed, pins are added to perforate and fix them, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, such an arrangement ensures that the transparent glass 9 is not loose, and is firm, beautiful, and provides a wider field of vision.

[0029] A mobile phone storage box 4 and a large storage box 5 are arranged on the inner side of the right enclosure, which are used to store mobile phones and other items respectively. The mobile phone storage box 4 also serves as a hand grip for opening the enclosure.

[0030] The rear enclosure comprises a rear enclosure profile frame formed by connecting a rear enclosure main column profile 10 and a rear enclosure concealed profile 11, and the rear enclosure profile frame is wrapped with a rear enclosure inner foam body 16 and a rear enclosure outer foam body 17.
