[0018] Embodiment

[0019] A dashboard assembly for a scooter according to the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it includes a console 1 and a handle 2. The handle 2 is set in a ring structure. The handle 2 includes two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped parts, a front transverse part between the ports on the front side of the two arc-shaped parts, and a rear transverse part between the ports on the rear side of the two arc-shaped parts. The front transverse part of the handle 2 is connected to the fixed front side of the scooter (the front side is the side in the forward direction of the scooter, and the rear side refers to the side of the scooter facing the seat). The front transverse part is lower than the rear transverse part, so that the display screen 7 of the console 1 is directly below the user's line of sight, facilitating user operation. The console 1 is detachably installed inside the handle 2 through a connecting piece. There is a break in the middle of one side of the ring-shaped handle 2 for accommodating the console 1, and the break is set at the middle position of the rear transverse part; the console 1 includes a controller, an upper shell 5, a lower shell 6, a display screen 7, a charging port 8, an operation knob 9, a horn button 10, a power switch 11, and an operation lever 12. The display screen 7, the charging port 8, the operation knob 9, the horn button 10, the power switch 11, and the operation lever 12 are respectively electrically connected to the controller. The upper shell 5 and the lower shell 6 are installed outside the controller. The display screen 7 is inlaid on the top of the upper shell 5. The charging port 8 is respectively arranged on both sides of the lower shell 6. Preferably, the charging port 8 includes a battery charging port for the scooter and other charging ports for charging other electronic devices. The setting of the other charging ports facilitates users to charge other electronic products such as mobile phones; the operation knob 9 and the horn button 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the upper shell 5. The operation knob 9 is used to switch the gears of the scooter. The power switch 11 is installed on one side of the lower shell 6. The operation knob 9 is located at the break of the handle 2 and is coaxially arranged with the transverse part of the handle 2. When in use, the user's hand can be easily placed on the handle to adjust the vehicle condition; the operation lever 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower shell 6. The operation lever 12 is used to adjust the speed. Preferably, the operation lever 12 is located inside the handle 2, and there is a non-zero-degree angle between the operation lever 12 and the handle 2, that is, the angle between the operation lever 12 and the handle forms an angle from zero to ninety degrees. When the user touches the handle 2, it is convenient to operate the operation lever 12, and the angle limit between the operation lever 12 and the handle 2 is beneficial to reducing the possibility of device damage; when the operation lever 12 is not adjusted, the driver's hand can be placed on the position parallel to the operation lever 12 of the handle 12. When the operation lever 12 is adjusted, the handle 2 can limit the position of the operation lever 12. When the operation lever 12 is adjusted to the extreme position, it is close to being coaxial with the rear transverse part of the handlebar 2.For existing mobility scooters, the horn, speed control button, or other function buttons are separately installed on both sides of the handle. The instrument panels between different models are not interchangeable. However, for the mobility scooter of the present utility model, the function buttons are all integrally installed on the console 1, which facilitates the production and manufacturing of the console 1, the installation of the console 1 onto the mobility scooter, and the console 1 has strong applicability and can be applicable to different models; the display screen 7 provides real-time speed information, speed gears, battery power, vehicle fault alarms, and electromagnetic brake alarms, and at the same time reserves interfaces for adding display content in the future; the horn button 10 is located on one side of the upper shell 5, with an obvious position and no accidental touch; the upper shell 5 integrates the display screen 7, charging port 8, operation knob 9, and horn button 10, forming a modular structure, and such a layout is more conducive to production and assembly; preferably, the power switch 11 is located on the side of the console 1 closer to the user, which is more convenient for the user to operate during driving, and when operating the power switch 11, the gear shift does not affect the operation of other functions of the instrument panel.

[0020] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the connecting member includes a connecting block 3 and a fixing knob 4. One end of the connecting block 3 is hinged to the bottom of the console 1. The connecting block 3 is snap-fitted and sleeved on the outer periphery of the handle 2. The fixing knob 4 is threadedly connected to the other end of the connecting block 3. A threaded hole matching the fixing knob 4 is provided at the bottom of the console 1, and the fixing knob 4 is threadedly connected to the console 1; in actual use, by turning and loosening the fixing knob 4, the console 1 can be rotated to adjust its position relative to the handle 2. After the console 1 is rotated to a comfortable inclination angle for the user, then turn and tighten the fixing knob 4 to fix the console 1 in the current position.

[0021] A lighting lamp 14 is fixedly connected to the handle 2, and a groove for accommodating the lighting lamp 14 is provided at the bottom of the console 1. The lighting lamp 14, the console 1, and the handle 2 are independently arranged, which is convenient for the separate assembly and adjustment of the three, especially without affecting the assembly and repair of the console 1.

[0022] As Figure 3 shown, a wire passing hole 13 for the connecting wire of the mobility scooter is provided at the bottom of the lower shell 6. The setting of the wire passing hole 13 facilitates the connection of communication wire harnesses, the connecting wire of the lighting lamp 14, or other wire harnesses, and is convenient for wire arrangement, which is simple and practical; when repairing the console 1 later, just rotate the fixing knob 4 to separate it from the lower shell 6, and then disconnect the connecting wire between the console 1 and the mobility scooter to remove the console 1, which is convenient for repair or for sending the console 1 back to the manufacturer for repair.

[0023] Working process: The function buttons of the scooter are integrally installed on the console 1, which facilitates the production and manufacturing of the console 1, facilitates the installation of the console 1 on the scooter, and the console 1 has strong applicability and can be applied to different vehicle models; when disassembling the console 1, first rotate the fixing knob 4 to separate it from the lower shell 6, and then disconnect the connection line between the console 1 and the scooter to remove the console 1.
