[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 1-6As shown, the hidden handlebar cover of a bicycle mainly comprises: a handlebar 1, the handlebar 1 comprises a connecting portion 4, the connecting portion 4 is connected to the front fork stem 201 of the front fork 2, a washer 3 is provided below the connecting portion 4, two first steps 401 arranged symmetrically are formed on the connecting portion 4, and a second step 402 connected to the upper parts of the two first steps 401 is formed, and at the same time, a third step 403 is formed at the connection between the lower end of the connecting portion 4 and the washer 3, and the third step 403 is connected to the upper part of the second step 402. The lower parts of the two first steps 401 are connected; the hidden handlebar cover 5 includes two symmetrically arranged side edges 501 and an upper edge 502 and a lower edge 503 distributed above and below the side edges 501. The hidden handlebar cover 5 is covered on the connecting portion 4 and keeps the side edge 501 in close contact with the first step 401, the upper edge 502 in close contact with the second step 402, and the lower edge 503 in close contact with the third step 403. The outer wall of the connection between the hidden handlebar cover 5 and the connecting portion 4 remains basically flush.

[0025] Some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments will be described below. Any one of the following embodiments may be selected, or multiple embodiments may be selected and combined.

[0026] like Figure 5-6 As shown, a connector 6 is provided in the front fork stem 201, and the connector 6 is pressed against the connecting portion 4 through an upper cover 7 and a stud 8. A magnet 9 is provided on the inner wall of the hidden handlebar cover 5. When the hidden handlebar cover 5 is covered on the connecting portion 4, the magnet 9 forms adsorption with the upper cover 7 or the stud 8, and the hidden handlebar cover 5 can be firmly adsorbed and installed on the connecting portion 4 through the magnet 9.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall of the hidden handlebar cover 5 is provided with a socket column 10 extending downward, and the magnet 9 is fixed in the socket column 10 and partially protrudes from the socket column 10. The partial protrusion of the magnet 9 can achieve a better adsorption effect.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 7 is provided with a countersunk hole 11, and the head of the stud 8 is placed in the countersunk hole 11. The magnet 9 can enter the countersunk hole 11 to approach or fit the head of the stud 8. The countersunk hole 11 cooperates with the protrusion of the magnet 9, so that the magnet 9 can be close enough to the stud 8, so that the hidden handlebar cover 5 can be accurately and stably adsorbed on the connecting part 4.

[0029] Furthermore, the connecting portion 4 is formed with an engaging portion 404, which is sleeved on the front fork stem 201 and fastened to the front fork stem 201 via fasteners. The handlebar 1 is fixed to the front fork stem 201 via the engaging portion 404. When the handlebar 1 is rotated, the handlebar will synchronously drive the front fork 2 and the washer 3 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, a guide groove 405 is provided on the connecting portion 4, and a guide column 504 corresponding to the guide groove 405 is provided on the inner wall of the hidden handlebar cover 5. The guide column 504 and the guide groove 405 cooperate with each other, which not only positions the hidden handlebar cover 5 but also prevents the hidden handlebar cover 5 from falling off during use.

[0031] Furthermore, the extending direction of the guide groove 405 is consistent with the extending direction of the front fork stem 201 , so that the insertion of the hidden handlebar cover 5 is smoother, thereby improving the success rate of blind insertion of the hidden handlebar cover 5 .

[0032] Furthermore, the guide groove 405 is provided with two sides, which are symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the connecting portion 4 .

[0033] When in use, it is only necessary to insert the guide column 504 on the hidden handlebar cover 5 into the guide groove 405 on the connecting part 4. The magnet 9 on the hidden handlebar cover 5 will be adsorbed on the stud 8 or the upper cover 7, and the hidden handlebar cover 5 can be stably and quickly installed on the connecting part 4. After the hidden handlebar cover 5 is installed, it is basically flush with the connecting part 4 at the junction with it, which prevents dust from invading the connecting part 4 and affecting the vehicle performance, prevents fingers from being pinched, and improves the aesthetics.

[0034] Thus far, various embodiments of the present application have been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of the present application, some details well known in the art have not been described. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art will fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and the aforementioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not drive the essence of the corresponding technical solutions away from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present application.
