[0002] The motorcycle instrument upper cover refers to a transparent or semi-transparent protective cover covering the upper part of the motorcycle instrument panel. It is usually made of wear-resistant and highly transparent plastic or glass, and is used to protect the instrument panel from the influence of external environments such as dust, rain, wind, and sunlight. The upper cover of the instrument can also prevent the instrument panel from being damaged by collision or scratching, and extend its service life. At the same time, the transparent upper cover design enables the driver to clearly see the indicators and data on the instrument without being interfered by the outside world. Generally, the instrument panel on the motorcycle is set at the front of the vehicle head, and a transparent cover plate is generally set above the instrument to protect the instrument.

[0003] When the motorcycle is parked outdoors, such as at night or in humid conditions, the internal temperature of the motorcycle instrument may drop below the dew point, resulting in water vapor condensing on the surface of the instrument cover plate, which may cause the instrument to fog or become blurred, affecting the driver's vision and information acquisition. Moreover, the material of the instrument cover plate is generally plastic or glass, and it is adhered to the instrument housing with glue. Therefore, when it is damaged later, the entire instrument has to be removed and replaced, thus increasing the maintenance cost.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, we need to propose a structure of a motorcycle instrument upper cover. Content of the Utility Model

The cover plate 3 is arranged at the top of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 and is made of glass or transparent plastic, which can provide a protective effect for the outer shell 1. A positioning piece 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left side of the outer shell 1. The positioning piece 4 is arranged at a position near the bottom of the surface of the outer shell 1. Its main purpose is to facilitate the staff to position the outer shell 1. A positioning hole is opened on the surface of the positioning piece 4. A speed scale 5 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. A display screen 7 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. A pointer 6 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The speed scale 5, the display screen 7 and the pointer 6 are located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and their combined use can prompt the driver of the vehicle speed and the vehicle speed value;

[0025] A thread groove 10 is opened at the top of the pointer 6. The thread groove 10 is opened at the top of the pointer 6. Its purpose is to facilitate the connecting rod 11 to drive the cleaning plate 15 to move synchronously. The inner cavity of the thread groove 10 is threadedly connected with a connecting rod 11.

[0026] A sliding sleeve 12 is arranged on the surface of the connecting rod 11. Sealing rings 13 are arranged at the top and bottom of the sliding sleeve 12. The surface of the sliding sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 3. The sliding sleeve 12 and the sealing rings 13 are connected together. The sliding sleeve 12 is fixed in the inner cavity of the cover plate 3. The sealing rings 13 can provide a sealing effect between the sliding sleeve 12 and the cover plate 3, and the sliding sleeve 12 can limit and protect the connecting rod 11.

[0027] Threads are provided on both the top and bottom surfaces of the connecting rod 11. A connecting cap 16 is threadedly connected to the surface of one of the threads. The connecting cap 16 is disposed at the top of the connecting rod 11, and its bottom is close to the cleaning plate 15, which can protect and prevent corrosion of the top end of the connecting rod 11 while also limiting the cleaning plate 15.

[0028] A rubber ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing 1. The rubber ring 9 is disposed at a position close to the middle of the inner cavity of the housing 1, and its top contacts the cover plate 3, which can achieve a sealing and protective effect on the cover plate 3. The top of the rubber ring 9 contacts the cover plate 3.

[0029] Circulation holes 17 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the housing 1. There are twelve circulation holes 17, and every six of them are divided into a group. The two groups of circulation holes 17 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the surface of the housing 1. The main purpose is that when water vapor enters the inside of the housing 1 and causes water mist to form on the surface of the cover plate 3, the airflow can be guided into the inside of the housing 1 when the motorcycle is running to dissipate the water mist on the surface of the cover plate 3. A filter screen is provided in the inner cavity of the circulation hole 17, and the filter screen is disposed inside the circulation hole 17 to prevent impurities and dust particles from entering the inside of the housing 1 and the cover plate 3.

[0030] A cleaning plate 15 is provided on the surface of the connecting rod 11. A cleaning pad 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning plate 15. The bottom of the cleaning pad 8 contacts the cover plate 3. The cleaning plate 15 and the cleaning pad 8 are integrally formed and are disposed on the surface of the connecting rod 11. The cleaning plate 15 moves integrally with the pointer 6 through the connecting rod 11. When the motorcycle is started, the pointer 6 will first perform a comprehensive self-check to ensure that they can move freely and are not stuck or damaged. After the pointer 6 self-checks, it can return to its zero position to provide accurate readings during vehicle operation. Therefore, when the cleaning plate 15 moves with the pointer 6, it can clean the surface of the cover plate 3 before the motorcycle runs, providing clear speed information for the driver to obtain.

[0031] A spline 14 is provided on the surface of the connecting rod 11. A jack 18 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning plate 15. The surface of the spline 14 is clamped with the inner cavity of the jack 18. The spline 14 is disposed on the surface of the connecting rod 11, and its surface is clamped with the jack 18 of the cleaning plate 15, which can make the cleaning plate 15 always rotate with the connecting rod 11.

[0032] Working principle: When the motorcycle is parked outdoors, such as at night or in humid conditions, the internal temperature of the motorcycle instrument may drop below the dew point, causing water vapor to condense on the surface of the instrument cover plate 3. At this time, when the driver starts the motorcycle, the pointer 6 inside the housing 1 will perform a comprehensive self-check during startup to ensure that they can move freely and are not stuck or damaged. After the self-check, the pointer 6 can return to its zero position to provide accurate readings during vehicle operation. When the pointer 6 rotates, the connecting rod 11 will drive the cleaning plate 15 to rotate synchronously with the pointer 6. At this time, the cleaning pad 8 at the bottom of the cleaning plate 15 will scrape off the water mist on the surface of the cover plate 3. At this time, the driver can clearly know the speed when driving. When the cover plate 3 is damaged subsequently, first remove the connecting cap 16 from the top of the connecting rod 11, and then turn the connecting rod 11 by the spline 14 to pull out the connecting rod 11 from the sliding sleeve 12 of the cover plate 3. At this time, the driver can remove the cover plate 3 to achieve the effect of unilateral replacement without having to replace the entire instrument.
