[0030] In one embodiment, the mounting base 20 is welded to the body 10, integrally formed by forging, die-casting, milling, or stamping. By forming the mounting base 20 and the body 10 as an integrated structural component, the production efficiency of both components can be improved, mass production can be achieved, and the installation step of the mounting base 20 on the body 10 can be omitted.

[0031] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 The following diagram illustrates a rearview mirror support mounted on a handlebar tube 30 according to one embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the main body 10 includes a handlebar support 11, a handlebar clamping cover 12, and a connector 13. The handlebar clamping cover 12 is located on one side of the handlebar tube 30, while the handlebar support 11 is located on the other side. The handlebar clamping cover 12 is fixedly connected to the handlebar support 11 via the connector 13. The mounting base 20 is connected to the handlebar clamping cover 12 or the handlebar support 11. In this manner, the handlebar support 11 is generally located on the side of the handlebar tube 30 away from the rear wheel of the motorcycle or the user, while the handlebar clamping cover 12 is located on the other side of the handlebar tube 30, that is, facing the rear wheel or the user. When the mounting base 20 is connected to the handlebar clamping cover 12, the mounting base 20 faces the user, so that the charging interface 40 faces the user, thereby facilitating charging operations, such as while riding. When the mounting base 20 is connected to the handlebar support 11, the mounting base 20 faces away from the user.

[0032] Optionally, the connecting member 13 includes but is not limited to bolts, screws, pins, rivets, etc.

[0033] Optionally, the connecting members 13 include but are not limited to one, two, three, four or other quantities.

[0034] Optionally, a first mounting hole 111 is provided on the handle support 11, and a second mounting hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first mounting hole 111 is provided on the handle clamping cover 12. The connecting member 13 passes through the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole to connect and fix the handle support 11 and the handle clamping cover 12.

[0035] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the handle clamping cover 12 is provided with a first recess 121, and the handle support 11 is provided with a second recess (not shown). The first recess 121 is adapted to one side of the outer wall of the handlebar tube 30, and the second recess is adapted to the other side of the outer wall of the handlebar tube 30.

[0036] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, a mounting portion 14 is provided on the body 10 , and the mounting portion 14 is used to mount a rearview mirror. Specifically, the mounting portion 14 is disposed on the top of the handle clamping cover 12 or on the top of the handle support 11 .

[0037] It should be noted that the "installation portion 14" can be a "part of the main body 10", that is, the "installation portion 14" and the "other parts of the main body 10" are manufactured as one piece; it can also be an independent component that can be separated from the "other parts of the main body 10", that is, the "installation portion 14" can be manufactured independently and then combined with the "other parts of the main body 10" into a whole.

[0038] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, there are one or more mounting bases 20, with the plurality of mounting bases 20 sequentially connected to the main body 10 around the central axis of the main body 10; and / or, the mounting base 20 is provided with one or more mounting slots 21. Thus, when there are multiple mounting bases 20, simultaneous charging of multiple charging devices is possible, thereby improving performance. Furthermore, when the mounting base 20 is provided with multiple mounting slots 21, multiple charging interface components 40 can be installed, thus enabling simultaneous charging of multiple charging devices.

[0039] See also Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 4 Shown Figure 3 The structure shown is shown with the dust cover 50 opened. In one embodiment, the rearview mirror support further includes a dust cover 50. The dust cover 50 is openably positioned within the notch of the mounting slot 21. Thus, when not charging, the dust cover 50 covers the notch of the mounting slot 21, providing a waterproof and dustproof effect. When charging, the dust cover 50 is opened, and the charging cable of the charging device is connected to the charging interface 40 to charge the device.

[0040] In one embodiment, the dust cover 50 is snap-fitted with the mounting base 20 or connected by fasteners, or connected by other means. For example, a first thread is provided on the dust cover 50, and a second thread adapted to the first thread is provided on the inner wall of the slot of the mounting groove 21. The dust cover 50 is detachably connected to the mounting base 20 through the mutual fit of the first thread and the second thread.

[0041] See also Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, a protrusion 51 is provided on the dust cover 50. By acting on the protrusion 51, the dust cover 50 can be opened and closed, which is convenient to operate.

[0042] It should be noted that the "protrusion 51" can be "a part of the dust cover 50", that is, the "protrusion 51" and the "other parts of the dust cover 50" are manufactured as one piece; it can also be an independent component that can be separated from the "other parts of the dust cover 50", that is, the "protrusion 51" can be manufactured independently and then combined with the "other parts of the dust cover 50" into a whole.

[0043] In one embodiment, the dust cover 50 includes but is not limited to an elastic rubber cover, a silicone cover, a plastic cover, a PU cover, a PVC cover, etc. In this way, the dust cover 50 is elastic and is not easily damaged when it is, for example, snapped into the slot of the mounting slot 21. It has a long service life and has a good dustproof and waterproof effect.

[0044] Of course, as some optional solutions, the dust cover 50 is not limited to the elastic cover made of non-metallic material in the above embodiment, and can also be set as a metal cover, for example. It can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.

[0045] When the dust cover 50 is a metal cover, the dust cover 50 is connected to the mounting base 20 by, for example, magnetic attraction, so that the dust cover 50 can be easily opened and closed.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, a motorcycle includes the rearview mirror support seat of any of the above embodiments, and also includes a charging interface component 40, which is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 21.

[0047] It should be noted that the motorcycle in this embodiment includes but is not limited to an electric motorcycle, a fuel motorcycle, or a hybrid motorcycle, etc.

[0048] The aforementioned motorcycle fully utilizes the space at the rearview mirror support base. Mounting base 20 is provided on the main body 10, and the charging interface 40 is secured to mounting base 20. This eliminates the need for an additional mounting bracket on the handlebar tube 30, eliminating the need to consider interference with surrounding components such as the handlebars, thereby simplifying design and assembly. Furthermore, the motorcycle effectively addresses the need for a variety of mounting bracket specifications, enhancing the product's universal design and improving the overall vehicle's appearance.

[0049] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5A simplified view of a rearview mirror support seat according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. In one embodiment, the mounting seat 20 has a first end and a second end facing each other, the first end being a free end, the second end being connected to the body 10, and the mounting groove 21 extending from the free end face to the second end. A horizontal plane below the mounting seat 20 is selected as a reference plane M, the distance between the center position of the first end face and the reference plane M is smaller than the distance between the center position of the second end face and the reference plane M, the line connecting the center position of the first end face and the center position of the second end face is set as an axis Z, and the axis Z is set at an angle to the reference plane M, the angle being a, and a is 0° to 20°. In this way, on the one hand, since the height position of the first end is lower than the height position of the second end, and the axis Z is set at an angle to the reference plane M, the mounting groove 21 is formed in the mounting seat 20 by extending obliquely upward from the slot, so that dust and rainwater are not easy to enter the mounting groove 21 through the slot, thereby playing a better dustproof and waterproof role; on the other hand, since the angle a is set to 0° to 20°, the angle size is set more appropriately, which can facilitate the user to insert the charging connector of the charging device into the mounting groove 21 and connect it with the charging interface part 40, and the operation is more convenient.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, a includes but is not limited to being set to 0°, 3°, 5°, 8°, 10°, 12°, 15°, 18° or 20°.

[0051] Of course, as some optional solutions, a can also be set to any angle other than 0° to 20°, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0052] In one embodiment, the charging interface 40 is fixed inside the mounting groove 21 by embedding, snapping, bonding or fasteners.

[0053] In this embodiment, the charging interface 40 is, for example, embedded and fixed on the handle clamping cover 12. In this way, the process is easy to implement and the arrangement and installation process of the charging interface 40 is simplified.

[0054] In one embodiment, the charging interface 40 includes but is not limited to a USB interface, a Type-C interface, a microUSB interface, a microUSB TYPE-C interface, and the like.

[0055] In one embodiment, the charging interface 40 can be used to charge external devices, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, monitors, players and other electronic devices, and can also be used to charge the power supply of a motorcycle.
