[0020] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following illustrative embodiments and descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Moreover, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, an optional embodiment of the present invention provides a panel mounting structure 1 for a scooter, which is used to assemble a panel 3 onto a base 5. It includes a jack 10 provided at one end of the side wall of the base 5, plugging feet 12 and hook portions 14 provided at opposite ends of the back surface of the panel 3, an elastic latch 16 assembled on the base 5 and used for hooking and cooperating with the hook portion 14 of the panel 3 to lock the panel 3, and an elastic pushing member 17 assembled on the base 5 and elastically pressing against the inner side surface of the panel 3. The plugging foot 12 includes a connecting portion 121 vertically extending from the back surface of the panel 3 and a hook portion 123 vertically extending from the end of the connecting portion 121. The plugging foot 12 extends the connecting portion 121 into the jack 10 and the hook portion 123 abuts against the inner wall of the base 5 at the inner hole opening of the jack 10 with one side surface facing the panel 3; the elastic latch 16 includes an operating portion 161 exposed from the base 5 for pressing to enable the elastic latch 16 to slide directionally and separate from the hook portion 14; when the elastic latch 16 separates from the hook portion 14, the elastic pushing member 17 pushes the panel 3 to rotate and spring open around the abutting portion of the plugging foot 12 and the inner hole opening of the jack 10.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present invention, the plugging feet 12 on the back surface of the panel 3 are inserted and cooperated with the jacks 10 on the side wall of the base 5, and then the elastic latch 16 slides directionally on the base 5 to hook and lock the hook portion 14 of the panel 3, which can effectively realize the movable positioning and installation of the panel 3 and the base 5. By setting the elastic pushing member 17 to elastically press against the inner side surface of the panel 3, and the plugging foot 12 includes a connecting portion 121 and a hook portion 123, the plugging foot 12 extends the connecting portion 121 into the jack 10 and the hook portion 123 abuts against the inner wall of the base 5 at the inner hole opening of the jack 10 with one side surface facing the panel 3. When the user disassembles the panel 3, by pressing the operating portion 161 of the elastic latch 16, the elastic latch 16 slides directionally and separates from the hook portion 14, and then the elastic pushing member 17 pushes the panel 3, so that the panel 3 rotates and spring opens around the abutting portion of the plugging foot 12 and the inner hole opening of the jack 10. The panel 3 opens relative to the base 5 and will not easily fall off, which is convenient for the user to quickly disassemble and assemble.

[0023] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the elastic latch 16 is assembled on the inner side surface of the side wall of the base 5, and a through hole 18 for the hook portion 14 to pass through is further opened at a position corresponding to the hook portion 14 on the side wall of the base 5. In this embodiment, by further assembling the elastic latch 16 on the inner side surface of the side wall of the base 5 and correspondingly providing the through hole 18 for the hook portion 14 to pass through, the base 5 can effectively protect the internal elastic latch 16, which is beneficial to simplifying the overall installation structure and optimizing the space layout.

[0024] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the elastic latch 16 further includes a main body portion 163, a hook 165 provided at one end of the main body portion 163 for correspondingly hooking the hook portion 14, and a first elastic member 167 abutted against the main body portion 163 to apply an elastic force to the main body portion 163 so that the hook 165 maintains the hooking of the hook portion 14. The operation portion 161 and the main body portion 163 are integrally formed, and when pressed by an external force, the hook 165 provided at one end of the main body portion 163 overcomes the elastic force applied by the first elastic member 167 and separates from the hook portion 14. On the side surfaces of the hook 165 and the hook portion 14 facing each other, there are smooth guiding inclined surfaces 165a. In this embodiment, during specific operation, the user can apply a force to the operation portion 161 of the elastic latch 16 to make the hook 165 withdraw from the hook portion 14 by overcoming the elastic force applied by the first elastic member 167, thereby disengaging the hook 165 and the hook portion 14 from the hooking and positioning. When installing the panel 3, it is also only necessary to make the hook 165 overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 167 and then hook and cooperate with the hook portion 14 of the panel 3, so that the panel 3 can be assembled on the base 1, and both disassembly and assembly are very convenient. Additionally, by making the side surfaces of the hook 165 and the hook portion 14 facing each other be smooth guiding inclined surfaces 165a, when the panel 3 needs to be assembled to the base 5, the hook portion 14 on the panel 3 can squeeze the guiding inclined surface 165a on the hook 165 through the guiding inclined surface 165a to make the hook 163 retract by overcoming the elastic force of the first elastic member 167. After the hook portion 14 enters the hooking position, then the hook 165 rebounds again to achieve hooking and positioning with the hook portion 14, and the assembly efficiency is higher during assembly.

[0025] In yet another alternative embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the panel mounting structure 1 further includes an orienting member 19 for directionally and slidably assembling the elastic latch 16 to the side wall of the base 5. In this embodiment, by providing the orienting member 19, the elastic latch 16 can be effectively positioned and guided, which is convenient for operation.

[0026] In still another alternative embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 and 3 shown, the orienting member 19 is a mounting seat fixedly assembled on the side wall of the base 5. On the side of the mounting seat 19 facing the inner wall of the base 5, there is a sliding groove 191, and the main body portion 163 of the elastic latch 16 is slidably assembled in the sliding groove 191. In this embodiment, the orienting member 19 adopts a mounting seat. By slidably assembling the main body portion 163 of the elastic latch 16 in the sliding groove 191 of the mounting seat 19, the positioning and guiding of the elastic latch 16 can be achieved, with a simple structure and convenient assembly.

[0027] In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, on one side of the main body part 163 facing the mounting base 19, there is a convex block 163a. In the sliding groove 191, a receiving groove 191a is also formed along the sliding direction of the main body part 163. The first elastic member 167 and the convex block 163a are respectively installed in the receiving groove 191a. The opposite ends of the first elastic member 167 respectively abut against the groove wall of the receiving groove 191a and the convex block 163a. In this embodiment, by arranging the receiving groove 191a to correspondingly install the first elastic member 167, the positioning of the first elastic member 167 is realized. Correspondingly, by the convex block 163a on the main body part 163 pushing against the first elastic member 167, it is ensured that the first elastic member 167 elastically pushes against the main body part 163.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, at the two ends of the sliding groove 191 where it slides relative to the main body part 163, first anti - detachment parts 191b are respectively provided. At the opposite ends of the main body part 163, second anti - detachment parts 163b corresponding to the first anti - detachment parts 191b are provided for assembling and cooperating to prevent the main body part 163 from disengaging from the two ends of the sliding groove 191. In this embodiment, through the assembling and cooperation of the first anti - detachment parts 191b and the second anti - detachment parts 163b, it can effectively prevent the main body part 163 from sliding out from the two ends of the sliding groove 191.

[0029] In another alternative embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-3 shown, on one side wall of the base 5 facing the panel 3, there is also a through - hole 50. The elastic pushing member 17 includes a contact seat 171 inserted into the through - hole 50 and a second elastic member 173 with opposite ends respectively abutting against the contact seat 171 and the inner wall of the base 5. At the tail of the contact seat 171, an anti - detachment barb 171a is formed. The tail of the contact seat 171 is hooked on the inner hole opening of the through - hole 50 with the anti - detachment barb 171a, and the head of the contact seat 171 exposes the outer hole opening of the through - hole 50. When the panel 3 is assembled on the base 5, the second elastic member 173 pushes the contact seat 171, and the head of the contact seat 171 presses against the back surface of the panel 3. In this embodiment, when the panel 3 is assembled onto the base 5, the back surface of the panel 3 pushes the contact seat 171, compressing the second elastic member 173. The hook part 14 and the hook 165 are hooked to relatively fix the panel 3 and the base 5. However, when the user applies force to disengage the hook part 16 from the hook 165, the second elastic member 173 releases elastic force for restoring deformation, applies a pushing force to the panel 3 through the contact seat 171, rotates and opens the panel 3, and the hook part 14 exits the hooking position. Moreover, due to the hooking of the anti - detachment barb 171a and the inner hole opening of the through - hole 50, it also prevents the contact seat 171 from disengaging from the through - hole 50, realizing the quick disassembly and assembly of the panel 3.

[0030] In another optional embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, a through hole 52 is further provided on the side wall of the base 5 for the corresponding insertion of the operation part 161 therethrough. In this embodiment, by providing the through hole 52 for the operation part 161 to pass through, the operation part 161 is exposed from the base 5, facilitating the user to apply force to the operation part 161 and improving the convenience of operation.

[0031] On the other hand, as Figure 4 shown, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a scooter, including a base 5, a panel 3, and a panel mounting structure 1 for assembling the panel 3 to the base 5, and the panel mounting structure 1 is the panel mounting structure as described in any one of the above. The scooter in this embodiment adopts the panel mounting structure 1 as described above, which can achieve the rapid disassembly and assembly of the panel 3 and is convenient to use.

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the inspiration of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can also make many forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention and the scope protected by the claims. All of these fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
