[0060] To better understand the structure and effects of this invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0061] First, please refer to Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figure 6, the structure of the motorcycle charging base of the present invention includes a steering mechanism 21 at the front of the motorcycle 2 for controlling the direction of travel. The steering mechanism 21 has a steering handle 211, which is connected to the head tube 22 at the bottom. A front shock absorber 23 is provided below the head tube 22, and a front wheel 24 is pivotally mounted at the lower end of the front shock absorber 23. The steering mechanism 21 can be used to control the front wheel 24 to turn left or right, thereby changing the direction of travel of the motorcycle 2.

[0062] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the two sides of the steering handle 211 of the steering mechanism 21 are respectively provided with a control switch group 25 and a brake controller 26 for controlling the driving state of the motorcycle 2. The control switch group 25 includes a turn signal control switch, a headlight control switch, a cruise control switch, a power unit start switch, etc. The steering handle 211 is provided with a speed control handle 27 on the right side (the right side when the driver is riding) for controlling the driving speed of the motorcycle 2. The steering handle 211 is covered with handle cover 3 on the top and bottom. The steering handle 211 of the present invention is exemplified by a slightly V-shaped body with a flat bottom and outward expansion on both sides. The handle cover 3 is also slightly V-shaped to cover the steering handle 211.

[0063] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 6, the handle cover 3 has a lower cover 31 covering the steering handle 211 below and an upper cover 32 covering the steering handle 211 above. The lower cover 31 is provided with multiple locking parts 311, and the upper cover 32 is provided with multiple locking parts 321. The lower cover 31 and the upper cover 32 can be locked together by locking elements (not shown in the figure) to cover the steering handle 211.

[0064] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7, a socket portion 322 is located on the upper side of the top cover 32 (i.e., the side facing upwards towards the vehicle body), specifically on the flat surface at the bottom of the V-shape. A USB socket 4 is located within this socket portion 322. The USB socket 4 is electrically connected to the battery (not shown) that supplies the main power to the motorcycle 2. The insertion port 41 of the USB socket 4 is angled slightly below horizontal towards the rear of the vehicle body. This means that when the driver uses the USB socket 4, the electronic device connector is inserted into the insertion port 41 of the USB socket 4 at a slightly lower horizontal angle. This allows the driver to conveniently insert the connector of electronic products into the insertion port 41 of the USB socket 4; the socket part 322 is provided with a cover 323 that can be freely opened or closed. After the cover 323 covers the socket part 322, the V-shaped bottom 32a of the cover 32 can remain flat, thereby improving the overall appearance of the steering mechanism 21 of the motorcycle 2. At the same time, it can make the socket part 322 a sealed space, thus preventing the USB socket 4 located in the socket part 322 from being corroded by external moisture or dust.

[0065] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7, a pivot rod 324 is provided on one side of the cover 323. One end of the pivot rod 324 is locked to the cover 323, and two pivot shafts 3241 protrude from both sides of the other end, which are used to pivotally mount the upper cover 32. A pivot seat 325 is provided on the inner side of the upper cover 32 (towards the lower cover 31). The pivot seat 325 allows the pivot shafts 3241 of the pivot rod 324 to be pivoted, thereby allowing the cover 323 to freely open and close with the pivot seat 325 and the pivot shafts 3241 as the pivot center. The pivot rod 324 has a positioning protrusion 3242 protruding from the pivot shafts 3241 towards the rear of the vehicle body and towards the lower cover 31; the upper cover 32... A positioning member 326 is locked below the pivot seat 325 on the inner side (towards the lower cover 31). The positioning member 326 can be engaged by the positioning protrusion 3242 of the pivot rod 324. Furthermore, the pivot rod 324 can be made of plastic material, and the positioning member 326 can be made of metal material with a certain rigidity. Therefore, when the cover 323 is connected by the pivot rod 324 and the pivot seat 325 and the pivot 324, the positioning member 326 can be engaged by the pivot rod 324. 1. The pivot point is used for the lifting action. When the cover 323 is lifted to the preset opening degree, the positioning protrusion 3242 of the pivot rod 324 can be abutted and locked onto the positioning member 326 by the elasticity of the plastic itself, so that the cover 323 can form a positioning effect when it is opened to the preset opening degree. It should be noted that the opening degree of the cover 323 from the socket part 322 (the distance between the cover 323 and the socket part 322 after opening) is greater than the longitudinal length of the USB socket 4 as a whole, so that the driver can conveniently insert the connector of the electronic product into the insertion port 41 of the USB socket 4. Conversely, when the cover 323 is to be closed, the cover 323 is pressed down with a pressure slightly greater than the elasticity of the plastic of the positioning protrusion 3242, so that the cover 323 is closed onto the socket part 322. The upper cover 32 is provided with a mounting seat 327 near the socket part 322.

[0066] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7, the upper cover 32 has a fastening component 5 inside the socket portion 322. This fastening component 5 provides a locking effect when the cover 323 is closed onto the socket portion 322, thus preventing the cover 323 from being easily opened after being closed onto the socket portion 322. The fastening component 5 of this invention is exemplified by a magnetic fastening member. The fastening component 5 has a magnetic element 51 and a magnetic attraction element 52. 51 is installed in the mounting base 327 of the upper cover 32, and the magnetic element 52 is installed on the cover 323. Thus, when the cover 323 is closed on the socket part 322, the magnetic element 52 can be magnetically attracted by the magnetic element 51, so that the cover 323 can be stably closed on the socket part 322. When the USB socket 4 is to be used, the driver only needs to apply a magnetic force exceeding that of the fastening component 5 to open the cover 323.

[0067] The main advantage of this invention is that the motorcycle 2 has a steering mechanism 21 at the front, which has a steering handle 211 covered by a handle cover 3. The handle cover 3 has a lower cover 31 covering the steering handle 211 and an upper cover 32 covering the steering handle 211. The upper cover 32 has a socket portion 322, which has a cover 323 that can be freely opened and closed. One end of the cover 323 is pivotally mounted on the upper cover 32. The socket portion 322 has a fastening component 5. The socket portion 322 has a USB socket 4. The insertion port 41 of the USB socket 4 is opened at an angle slightly below the horizontal towards the rear of the vehicle body. This makes the USB socket 4 concealed, preventing the corrosion of external moisture and dust, and also makes it more convenient for the driver to insert the connector of electronic products into the insertion port 41 of the USB socket 4.

[0068] In conclusion, the structure of this invention does achieve the claimed purpose and should meet the requirements of novelty, inventiveness and utility for invention patents.
