[0004] In the above-mentioned electric scooter, the controller is fixedly installed in the pedal, and a pedal upper shell is arranged above the controller. A seat body is also installed above the existing pedal upper shell. Therefore, when repairing or replacing, it is usually necessary to disassemble the seat body first and then disassemble the entire pedal upper shell, which increases the complexity of the operation and is cumbersome, and needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the problem of complicated controller maintenance and replacement operations, the present technical solution provides an electric scooter control box installation structure.

[0006] The purpose of this technical solution is achieved in this way:

[0007] A control box mounting structure for an electric scooter comprises a vehicle base, wherein the vehicle base is provided with a handlebar column, and is characterized in that a mounting frame is provided above the vehicle base, the mounting frame is connected between the vehicle base and the handlebar column, the mounting frame is provided with a mounting box, the mounting box has a first assembly cavity, a control box is mounted in the first assembly cavity, the mounting box is detachably connected to a cover plate, and the cover plate is covered on an opening of the first assembly cavity for covering the control box.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, when the control box mounting structure of the electric scooter is in normal use, the mounting frame is installed above the vehicle base, based on the mounting frame being connected between the vehicle base and the handlebar column, the mounting box is arranged on the mounting frame, so as to ensure the stability of the structure and optimize the spatial layout, so that the mounting box can be directly operated during use, and the first assembly cavity of the mounting box is opened by opening the cover on the mounting box, and the control box is fixed in the first assembly cavity. When the control box needs to be maintained or replaced, the cover can be opened with simple operation, so that necessary maintenance or replacement operations can be performed on the control box. When completed, the cover can be covered again to resume normal use, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the control box and making the operation of the control box more convenient.

[0009] Preferably, the vehicle base has a second assembly cavity, a battery box is installed in the second assembly cavity, a connection port is opened at the bottom of the first assembly cavity, the connection port is connected to the second assembly cavity, and the control box is electrically connected to the battery box through the connection port.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the vehicle base has a second assembly cavity, in which a battery box compatible with it is installed. The battery box can store and release electricity to provide a power source for operation. A connection port is reserved at the bottom of the first assembly cavity. The connection port is connected to the inside of the second assembly cavity to form a channel for the power supply line to pass through. The control box can be electrically connected to the battery box to ensure normal use.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the inner wall opposite to the cover plate in the first assembly cavity, the limiting groove is used for the control box to be embedded and positioned, a heat dissipation hole is provided at the bottom of the limiting groove, and when the control box is embedded in the limiting groove, the control box covers the opening of the heat dissipation hole.

[0012] Through the above technical scheme, a limiting groove matched with the control box is opened on the inner wall opposite to the cover plate in the first assembly cavity, and the positioning of the control box is achieved by embedding it in the limiting groove to ensure the stability of the control box after installation, so as to limit the shaking or displacement of the control box on both sides. A heat dissipation hole is opened at the bottom of the limiting groove, and the position of the control box corresponding to the heat dissipation hole abuts against and covers its opening. The heat dissipation hole mainly provides a heat dissipation channel for the control box, so that the natural wind force when the vehicle is moving is used for heat dissipation, so that the temperature of the control box can be continuously and effectively reduced to maintain its stable operation.

[0013] Preferably, the control box is provided with a locking portion, and a plurality of connecting columns extend from the inner wall of the first assembly cavity. The plurality of connecting columns are located one by one on both sides of the inner wall of the first assembly cavity along the embedding direction of the control box, and the locking portion and the connecting columns are fixed by bolts to position the control box.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the locking part is against the side of the control box away from the inner wall of the first assembly cavity, and the two ends of the locking part protrude from the two sides of the control box. Based on the one-to-one correspondence of multiple connecting columns, the two ends of the locking part can be aligned with the connecting columns on both sides of the inner wall of the first assembly cavity along the embedding direction of the control box. After the bolt is passed through the locking part, it is embedded in the inner thread of the connecting column to connect, so that the control box is fixed in the first assembly cavity, thereby achieving installation stability.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting frame includes a connecting sleeve and two side extensions, the connecting sleeve is mounted on the handlebar post, the two side extensions are connected to the opposite sides of the connecting sleeve one by one, and the other end of the side extension is connected to the inner side wall of the second assembly cavity, and the space enclosed by the two side extensions is adapted to the mounting box.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the connecting sleeve in the mounting frame is installed at the lower end of the handlebar column, the two side extensions are close to the two sides of the mounting box, one end of the two side extensions is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve, and the other end of the two side extensions is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second assembly cavity. At this time, the two side extensions are matched to form a space, and the space is adapted to the mounting box, so that the side extensions are against the two sides of the mounting box, thereby limiting the left and right shaking of the mounting box and improving the stability of the control box during driving.

[0017] Preferably, the edge portions of the cover plate located on both sides have folded edge portions, and the folded edge portions extend to a side of the side extension portion facing away from the installation box.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the folded edge portion enhances the overall structural strength of the cover plate, and the folded edge portion extends downward to the side of the side extension portion away from the installation box, preventing rainwater from penetrating into the first assembly cavity through the gap between the cover plate and the installation box on rainy days, thereby ensuring the safe operation of components such as the control box in the first assembly cavity.

[0019] Preferably, positioning blocks are protruded on both sides of the installation box close to the side extension parts, and the side extension parts are provided with positioning holes, the positions of the positioning holes correspond one-to-one to the positioning blocks, and the positioning blocks are embedded in the positioning holes to limit the installation box from detaching from between the side extension parts on both sides.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the installation box is fixed with positioning blocks, and the positioning blocks protrude from the two side end surfaces of the installation box close to the side extension parts. The side extension parts are provided with matching positioning holes corresponding to the positions of the positioning blocks. When the two side extension parts are against the two sides of the installation box, each positioning block is accurately embedded in the corresponding positioning hole, thereby limiting the forward and backward shaking of the installation box and further improving the stability of the installation of the installation box.

[0021] Preferably, an audio device is also installed in the first assembly cavity, the positioning block is provided with a clearance groove, a sound hole is provided at the bottom of the clearance groove, and the sound hole is connected with the first assembly cavity for the audio device to transmit sound.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, in order to meet the user's music needs during riding, the audio device is installed in the first assembly cavity, a clearance groove is opened on the positioning block, and a sound hole is opened at the bottom of the clearance groove. The sound hole is connected to the first assembly cavity, providing a channel for the sound transmission of the audio device. When the audio device is playing, the sound will enter the clearance groove through the sound hole and be smoothly transmitted to the outside of the installation box. The setting of the clearance groove reduces the thickness distance required for the sound to pass through the positioning block through the sound hole. The clearance groove and the sound hole cooperate to reduce the obstacles to the transmission of sound, so that the sound of the audio device can be obtained more clearly.

[0023] Preferably, the installation box is further provided with a take-out hole, and the take-out hole is opened on the upper end surface of the installation box opposite to the cover plate.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, the removal hole is opened on the upper end surface of the installation box opposite to the cover plate. The internal situation of the first assembly cavity can be observed through the removal hole, and a preliminary judgment can be made whether there are any abnormalities in the control box and the audio device. The installation box can be pulled out by fingers or other tools through the removal hole, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of maintenance.

[0025] Preferably, a positioning groove is formed at the upper end of the installation box, and a positioning protrusion for embedding into the positioning groove is integrally formed on the cover plate accordingly.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the shape and size of the positioning groove should match the positioning protrusion to ensure that the positioning protrusion can be smoothly embedded in the positioning groove when the cover is installed. At this time, the bolt holes on the cover are aligned with the bolt holes of the installation box, so as to quickly determine the installation position of the cover and improve the speed and accuracy of the cover installation.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution has the following outstanding and beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. This technical solution provides a mounting frame on the vehicle base, the mounting frame is connected between the vehicle base and the handlebar column, the mounting frame is provided with a mounting box, a control box is installed in the first assembly cavity, and the first assembly cavity is opened by a cover plate that is detachably connected and covers the opening of the first assembly cavity, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the control box and making it more convenient to operate the control box;

[0029] 2. This technical solution provides heat dissipation holes at the bottom of the limit groove. When the control box is embedded in the limit groove, the control box covers the opening of the heat dissipation hole, so that the natural wind force when the vehicle is moving can be used for heat dissipation, thereby continuously and effectively reducing the temperature of the control box and maintaining its stable operation.
