Circular holes are provided on the connecting ear plates 3 on both sides, and a hexagonal groove is provided on the connecting ear plate 3 on the other side. The hexagonal groove is connected to the circular hole on the corresponding side, and a limited opening ring 10 is provided on the inner wall of the open ring 1; two arc-shaped pressure blocks 2 are symmetrically arranged below the open ring 1, and a first guide rod 8 is vertically connected to the arc-shaped pressure block 2. The top end of the first guide rod 8 movably passes through the bottom end of the open ring 1 and is slidably connected to the open ring 1; two circular grooves 101 are provided at the upper end of the open ring 1, and two threaded holes 102 adapted to the second bolt 7 are provided at the lower end of the open ring 1, and the two threaded holes 102 are connected to the two circular grooves 101.

[0024] The bicycle headset top cover device also includes a buckle cover 4, and the upper and lower ends of the buckle cover 4 are respectively provided with a compass 5 and a rubber plug 9. The edge of the rubber plug 9 is provided with a cut angle. The setting of the cut angle is to facilitate the rubber plug 9 to be inserted into the inner side of the opening of the rotating tube. The buckle cover 4 is buckled on the upper end of the opening of the steering tube and the rubber plug 9 is placed on the inner side of the steering tube, which can play a sealing role, and the setting of the compass 5 can play a role in guiding the direction; the diameter of the buckle cover 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the open circular ring 1. This setting enables the buckle cover 4 to cover the open circular ring 1, which can prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the circular groove 101.

[0025] In this embodiment, before installation, an annular groove that matches the limiting open ring 10 is opened on the outer wall of the steering tube of the bicycle. During installation, the two ends of the opening of the open ring 1 are opened to make the opening larger, and then the open ring 1 is sleeved on the outer side of the steering tube. The open ring 1 should be made of a metal material with strong toughness. The limiting open ring 10 is aligned with the annular groove, and then the nut 62 is placed inside the hexagonal groove. Then, the first bolt 61 is inserted into the circular hole from the other side so that the first bolt 61 is threadedly connected with the nut 62.
