Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric vehicles, and in particular relates to a left handle of an electric vehicle with a horn switch. Background Art
[0002] As a very convenient short-distance transportation tool, electric vehicles have now become popular in people's lives. When driving an electric vehicle, it is inevitable that you need to press the horn switch and hold the brake at the same time. The horn switch is usually set at a position far away from the left hand grip. The position of the horn switch causes many troubles for people: first, the horn switch of the electric vehicle is located on the right side of the left handle, and you need to extend your thumb to press it. When you suddenly encounter pedestrians on the road, you need to hold the brake and extend your thumb to press the horn switch at the same time, which may cause the left handle to be unstable and easy to slip, causing safety accidents; second, the position of the horn button is limited by the shape of the molds of each manufacturer, which makes the position of the horn button different, and the size of each person's palm and the length of fingers are different, so it cannot adapt to the hands of most consumers, and the grip is very poor, which may also cause safety accidents.
[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model proposes a left handle of an electric vehicle in which a horn button is arranged below the grip portion. The horn switch can be directly pressed while holding the brake handle to warn pedestrians, thereby greatly reducing the probability of traffic accidents. The grip portion can also be rotated to adapt to various hand shapes and can be held in a more comfortable posture, which has great promotion and practicality. Summary of the invention
[0004] The utility model provides a left handlebar of an electric vehicle with a horn switch, which enables the rider to press the horn switch with his thumb to give a warning while holding the brake, thereby greatly reducing the probability of traffic accidents. The specific scheme is as follows:
[0005] A left handle of an electric vehicle with a horn switch comprises a left connecting portion connected to a handlebar of the electric vehicle, a gripping portion being connected to the side of the left connecting portion facing away from the handlebar, a horn switch being arranged below the side of the gripping portion facing away from the brake handle, the horn switch comprising a switch seat and a switch button, wherein the switch button faces the handlebar, and the horn switch is connected to the horn via an electric wire.
[0006] Furthermore, the switch seat is tilted toward the faucet side, with its lower end close to the faucet and its upper end away from the faucet.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixing rod is horizontally connected to the left connecting part. The holding part is composed of a left sleeve, a middle sleeve and a right sleeve. The left sleeve, the middle sleeve and the right sleeve are respectively sleeved on the fixing rod. A plug is provided at one end of the fixing rod away from the left connecting part and can abut against the holding part. The plug is fixedly connected to the fixing rod by a thread. The horn switch is fixedly arranged on the middle sleeve.
[0008] Furthermore, the left connecting part is of a tubular structure. One end of the fixing rod is fixedly installed inside the left connecting part. The holding part is a sleeve with openings at both ends. The holding part is movably sleeved on the fixing rod. A retaining ring that abuts against the left connecting part is provided on the outer periphery of one end of the holding part. A plug is provided at one end of the fixing rod away from the left connecting part and can abut against the holding part. A limiting mechanism for fixing the holding part is provided on the left connecting part.
[0009] Still further, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting block, a compression spring, a push rod and a push block. An extension section is provided on the side of the holding part away from the plug. A plurality of limiting slots are evenly spaced circumferentially on the extension section. Long strip-shaped chutes are provided on the upper side of the fixing rod and on the side wall of the left connecting part opposite thereto, and one end thereof is flush with the end of the limiting slot. The limiting block is arranged between two limiting slots. The compression spring is horizontally arranged between the limiting block and the end of the fixing rod. A long strip-shaped through slot is provided on the left connecting part above the limiting block. The push rod is vertically arranged on the top of the limiting block.
