Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a handlebar, a handlebar tube, and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, my country's vehicle industry has experienced rapid growth. Bicycles, scooters, and electric vehicles have become essential means of transportation in modern life, offering advantages such as energy conservation, environmental protection, and low energy consumption. Bicycles, scooters, and electric vehicles are easy to operate, convenient, and fast, and are not affected by traffic congestion, bringing great convenience to people's lives.
[0003] Grip covers attach to the handlebars. They are a crucial accessory for bicycles, scooters, and electric vehicles. Their primary function is to provide a comfortable grip and increase friction to prevent slippage. They also absorb vibrations to a certain extent, enhancing riding comfort.
[0004] In the prior art, grip covers are typically installed by extrusion. During installation and removal, the friction between the grip cover and the handle is excessive, requiring tooling and requiring considerable effort. This also results in time-consuming and labor-intensive subsequent maintenance, resulting in high labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present application provides a handlebar, a handlebar cross tube and a vehicle, which can solve the problem that the handlebar installation is difficult and time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a grip, comprising:
[0007] A flexible sleeve, wherein the flexible sleeve is provided with a mounting hole for the handle to pass through, and the flexible sleeve comprises:
[0008] an annular body having a first end and a second end;
[0009] a first palm rest flange, the first palm rest flange being disposed at the first end and extending along the outer circumference of the annular body;
[0010] a second palm rest flange, the second palm rest flange being disposed at the second end and extending along the outer circumference of the annular body;
[0011] The flexible sleeve has an installed state and an applied state:
[0012] When the flexible sleeve is in the installed state, the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange may have a gap to enlarge the installation hole;
[0013] When the flexible sleeve is in an applied state, the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange are connected to close the mounting hole.
[0014] The grip cover provided in this application can have a flexible cover that is inherently elastic. Therefore, the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange can move relative to the annular body. Relative motion can occur between the first and second palm rest flanges. During the process of attaching the grip cover to the handle, a worker can separate the first and second palm rest flanges by a distance, allowing the first and second ends of the annular body to move away from each other. This separation allows the mounting hole to be enlarged. In particular, when the mounting hole is larger than the diameter of the handle, the flexible cover can be easily attached to the handle from the distal end of the handle.
[0015] It is easy to understand that during the disassembly process, the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange can be separated by a distance to move the first end and the second end away from each other. This allows the flexible cover to be easily removed from the handle when the diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the diameter of the handle. Therefore, during the installation and removal of the handle cover and subsequent maintenance, the operator's operating difficulty can be reduced, saving time and effort, and helping to reduce labor costs.
[0016] After the grip is put on the handle, the staff can connect the first palm rest flange with the second palm rest flange, and the first end and the second end can be connected, so that the size of the enlarged mounting hole is reduced.
[0017] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present application, since both the first and second palm rest flanges extend along the outer periphery of the annular body, they can provide additional support for the user's palms. These flanges can enhance the fit and friction between the palm and the grip, helping to improve stability during riding and maneuvering. Furthermore, they can help reduce palm fatigue during riding, improve riding comfort, and thus enhance the user experience.
[0018] According to one embodiment of the present application, the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange form an internal space communicating with the mounting hole;
[0019] The grip further includes a support assembly, which is located in the internal space to support the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange.

[0022] When the flexible sleeve is in an applied state, the first support member and the second support member are connected.
[0023] According to one embodiment of the present application, a first support member is provided on a side of the first support member facing the second support member, and a second support member is provided on a side of the second support member facing the first support member;
[0024] The handle cover further includes a connecting piece, and when the flexible cover is in an applied state, the connecting piece is connected to the first pillar and the second pillar.
[0025] According to one embodiment of the present application, one of the first support member and the second support member is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the other of the first support member and the second support member is provided with a limiting groove, and the opening direction of the limiting groove is toward the mounting hole;
[0026] When the first support member is connected to the second support member, at least a portion of the limiting protrusion is located in the limiting groove.
[0027] According to one embodiment of the present application, at least one of the first support member and the second support member is provided with a positioning column, at least a portion of the positioning column is located in the mounting hole, and the positioning column is used to be connected to the handle.
[0028] According to one embodiment of the present application, the flexible sleeve has a first outer surface and a second outer surface opposite to each other, and a connection point between the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange is located on the first outer surface or the second outer surface;
[0029] One of the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange is provided with an avoidance hole, and the connecting member passes through the avoidance hole to connect the first supporting member and the second supporting member;
[0030] The connection between the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange and the avoidance hole are both located on the first outer surface, or the connection between the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange and the avoidance hole are both located on the second outer surface.
[0031] According to one embodiment of the present application, the first support member and the flexible sleeve are an integral structure, and / or the second support member and the flexible sleeve are an integral structure.

[0053] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail here, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation methods described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation methods consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of 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.
[0055] With the continuous development of science and technology, the variety of people's means of transportation has gradually increased. In addition to traditional fuel-powered vehicles, various simple and easy-to-drive electric vehicles have gradually entered people's lives. Electric vehicles are easy for drivers to learn and use, and their advantages such as labor-saving, lightweight, environmentally friendly, and low cost have made them very popular among users.
[0056] The grips provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to vehicles. The vehicles in the embodiments of the present application can be bicycles, scooters, or electric vehicles, but this is not limited in this application.
[0057] A bicycle is a small land vehicle powered by human pedals. It can be used as an environmentally friendly means of transportation and travel, as well as for exercise. Cycling itself is also a competitive sport, with events such as road cycling, mountain biking, track cycling, and stunt biking.
[0058] Scooters can include non-electric scooters, electric scooters, folding scooters, and off-road scooters. For example, electric scooters are simple, compact, easy to carry, and offer a unique riding experience. Electric scooters are based on traditional human-powered scooters, combined with an electric power system and batteries. While riding, the rider stands on the pedals and can control the scooter's direction and balance by manipulating the handlebars at the front. As a result, electric scooters are easy to ride, offering the speed of traditional scooters while being effortless and convenient.
[0059] Electric vehicles typically include a power supply and a drive motor. The power supply provides electrical energy to the drive motor. The motor converts the power supply's electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the wheels. The power supply can be a battery, such as a lithium battery or a lead-acid battery. Electric vehicles can be categorized as electric bicycles or electric motorcycles based on vehicle mass and the motor's rated continuous output power. Electric motorcycles can include electric two-wheeled motorcycles and electric three-wheeled motorcycles.
[0060] The grip provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any of the above-mentioned vehicles.
[0061] Grips are an essential accessory for bicycles, scooters, electric vehicles, and more. Their primary function is to provide a comfortable grip and increase friction to prevent slipping. They also absorb vibrations to a certain extent, enhancing riding comfort.
[0062] In the prior art, grip covers are typically installed by extrusion. During installation and removal, the friction between the grip cover and the handle is excessive, requiring tooling and requiring considerable effort. This also results in time-consuming and labor-intensive subsequent maintenance, resulting in high labor costs.
[0063] Based on the above technical problems, the applicant has improved the existing grip cover structure. In the embodiment of the present application, the flexible cover can have an installation state and an application state. When the flexible cover is in the installation state, the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange can move relative to each other based on the flexibility of the flexible cover. When there is a gap between the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange, the mounting hole can be enlarged so that when the grip cover is put on the handle, the mounting hole can be larger than the diameter of the handle, so that the grip cover can be put on the handle more easily. After the grip cover is put on the handle, the first palm rest flange and the second palm rest flange can be connected to reduce the size of the enlarged mounting hole, so that the inner wall of the mounting hole and the handle can be tightly connected. The grip cover is not easy to fall off the handle.
[0064] The grip 100 , handlebar 10 , and vehicle provided in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with specific embodiments.
[0065] Figure 1 The figure schematically shows a handle 200 in which the handle cover 100 is mounted on both ends of the handlebar tube 10 . Figure 2 3D is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the flexible cover 110 in the handle cover 100 in the application state. Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional exploded structure of the handle cover 100 with the flexible cover 110 in an installed state. Figure 4 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA direction.
[0066] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the grip cover 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a flexible cover 110. The flexible cover 110 is provided with a mounting hole 111a for the handle 200 to pass through.
[0067] The flexible sleeve 110 includes an annular body 111 , a first palm rest flange 112 , and a second palm rest flange 113 .
[0068] The annular body 111 has a first end and a second end. The flexible sleeve 110 is provided with a mounting hole 111a for the handle 200 to pass through. A first palm rest flange 112 is provided at the first end and extends along the outer circumference of the annular body 111. A second palm rest flange 113 is provided at the second end and extends along the outer circumference of the annular body 111.
[0069] Among them, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flexible sleeve 110 has an installed state and an applied state. When the flexible sleeve 110 is in the installed state, the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 may be spaced apart to enlarge the mounting hole 111a. When the flexible sleeve 110 is in the applied state, the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 are connected to close the mounting hole 111a.
[0070] It should be noted that the installation state of the flexible sleeve 110 refers to the state of the flexible sleeve 110 during the process of fitting the grip 100 onto the handle 200. The application state of the flexible sleeve 110 refers to the use state of the flexible sleeve 110 after the grip 100 is fixedly mounted onto the handle 200.
[0071] In this embodiment of the present application, the flexible sleeve 110 itself can be elastic. Therefore, the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can move relative to the annular body 111. Relative motion can occur between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113. During the process of fitting the sleeve 100 onto the grip 200, a worker can separate the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 by a distance, so that the first and second ends can be spaced apart. This allows the annular body 111 to open, allowing the mounting hole 111a to be enlarged. In particular, when the mounting hole 111a is larger than the diameter of the grip 200, the flexible sleeve 110 can be more easily fitted onto the grip 200 from the distal end. It is easy to understand that during the disassembly process, the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can be separated by a distance to form an opening in the annular body 111. When the diameter of the mounting hole 111a is larger than the diameter of the grip 200, the flexible cover 110 can be easily removed from the grip 200. Therefore, during the installation and removal of the grip cover 100 and subsequent maintenance, the operator's operating difficulty can be reduced, achieving the effect of saving time and effort, and helping to reduce labor costs.
[0072] After the grip cover 100 is placed on the handle 200, the operator can connect the first palm rest flange 112 to the second palm rest flange 113, connecting the first end to the second end, thereby reducing the size of the enlarged mounting hole 111a. For example, the size of the mounting hole 111a can be made slightly smaller than the size of the handle 200 to achieve an interference fit between the grip cover 100 and the handle 200. This makes it difficult for the grip cover 100 to be removed from the handle 200.
[0073] It should be noted that when a large gap exists between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113, the flexibility of the flexible sleeve 110 allows the gap between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 to be larger than the diameter of the grip 200. Furthermore, the first and second ends can also be larger than the diameter of the grip 200, so that the opening formed in the annular body 111 can also be larger than the diameter of the grip 200, allowing the grip sleeve 100 to be installed radially from the grip 200. Specifically, during installation of the grip sleeve 100 on the grip 200, the grip 200 can first pass through the gap between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113, and then pass through the opening formed in the annular body 111 to enter the mounting hole 111a.
[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present application, since both the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 extend along the outer circumference of the annular body 111, they can provide additional support for the user's palms. The first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can enhance the fit and friction between the palm and the grip 200, helping to improve stability during riding and maneuvering. Furthermore, they can help reduce palm fatigue during riding, improve riding comfort, and thus enhance the user experience.
[0075] In some examples, the material of the flexible sleeve 110 may be, but is not limited to, rubber, PU polyurethane, etc.
[0076] In some possible implementations, see Figure 4 As shown, the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 of the embodiment of the present application can form an internal space 110a that is connected to the mounting hole 111a. The grip 100 can also include a support assembly 120. The support assembly 120 is located in the internal space 110a to support the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113.
[0077] In this embodiment of the present application, a support assembly 120 can be used to provide support for the flexible sleeve 110. Because the flexible sleeve 110 is flexible, even when the first and second palm rest flanges 112, 113 are connected, it is difficult to achieve a secure connection between them, even if they are brought infinitely close together. Furthermore, due to the elasticity of the flexible sleeve 110, it is easily deformed under significant external forces. For example, the flexible sleeve 110 can be stretched and deformed by external forces, making it easier for the flexible sleeve 110 to be removed from the grip 200. Therefore, by providing the support assembly 120 between the first and second palm rest flanges 112, 113, this problem can be resolved, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the flexible sleeve 110 and the grip 200.
[0078] Furthermore, since the flexible sleeve 110 is flexible, the support assembly 120 can also serve as a connecting structure for the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113. The first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can be fixedly connected via the support assembly 120.
[0079] In some possible implementations, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 120 of the embodiment of the present application may include a first support member 121 and a second support member 122 opposite to each other. The first support member 121 may be disposed on the first palm rest flange 112 , and the second support member 122 may be disposed on the second palm rest flange 113 .
[0080] When the flexible sleeve 110 is in the installed state, there is a gap between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122. When the flexible sleeve 110 is in the applied state, the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are connected.
[0081] In this embodiment of the present application, the first support member 121 is disposed on the first palm rest flange 112 so that the first support member 121 and the first palm rest flange 112 can move synchronously. The second support member 122 is disposed on the second palm rest flange 113 so that the second support member 122 and the second palm rest flange 113 can move synchronously.
[0082] Therefore, by providing a gap between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can be moved away from each other, thereby increasing the size of the mounting hole 111a and facilitating the installation of the flexible sleeve 110 on the grip 200. Furthermore, by connecting the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can be connected, thereby reducing the size of the enlarged mounting hole 111a and ensuring a tight connection between the flexible sleeve 110 and the grip 200. This makes it difficult for the flexible sleeve 110 to detach from the grip 200.
[0083] In some examples, the first support member 121 may also be used to support the first palm rest flange 112. The second support member 122 may be used to support the second palm rest flange 113. The first support member 121 and the second support member 122 may provide better support for the palms of the user during riding.
[0084] In some possible implementations, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the present application, a first support member 121 is provided with a first support post 1211 on the side facing the second support member 122. A second support post 122 is provided with a second support post 1221 on the side facing the first support member 121. The grip cover 100 may further include a connector 130. When the flexible cover 110 is in use, the connector 130 is connected to the first support post 1211 and the second support post 1221.
[0085] In this embodiment of the present application, the connection between first support 1211 and second support 1221 provides support for first palm rest flange 112 and second palm rest flange 113. When first support 1211 and second support 1221 are connected, mounting hole 111a is at its minimum size. In this state, the inner wall of flexible sleeve 110 and grip 200 can be tightly fitted.
[0086] The connector 130 can be used to connect the first support 1211 to the second support 1221. Therefore, during the installation of the grip cover 100, the flexible cover 110 can be first placed on the grip 200, and then the first support 1211 and the second support 1221 can be connected via the connector 130.
[0087] Therefore, during installation of the grip cover 100, the operator only needs to connect the first support 1211 and the second support 1221 via the connector 130 to secure the grip cover 100 to the handle 200. During removal or maintenance of the grip cover 100, the operator only needs to remove the connector 130 to create a gap between the first support 1211 and the second support 1221, thereby expanding the size of the mounting hole 111a and making it easier to remove the flexible cover 110 from the handle 200. This simplifies installation, removal, and maintenance, saving time and effort.
[0088] In some examples, the first pillar 1211 and the second pillar 1221 can be located near the middle of the entire grip 200. When there is a gap between the first pillar 1211 and the second pillar 1221, the size of the mounting hole 111a is increased, allowing the flexible sleeve 110 to be quickly fitted onto the grip 200. When the flexible sleeve 110 is in use, the first pillar 1211 and the second pillar 1221 can abut against each other to prevent the first palm rest flange 112 from transitioning to the second palm rest flange 113, which could cause deformation of the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 and affect the overall service life of the flexible sleeve 110.
[0089] In some examples, when the first support 1211 and the second support 1221 are connected, the size of the mounting hole 111a can be slightly smaller than the size of the handle 200. A greater friction force can be generated between the inner wall of the mounting hole 111a of the flexible sleeve 110 and the handle 200 to reduce the possibility of the flexible sleeve 110 being easily separated from the handle 200 when in use.
[0090] In some examples, the connecting member 130 may be a fastener, such as a screw.
[0091] In some possible implementations, see Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, one of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 may be provided with a limiting protrusion 1212. The other of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 may be provided with a limiting groove 1222. The opening of the limiting groove 1222 faces the mounting hole 111a. When the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are connected, at least a portion of the limiting protrusion 1212 may be located in the limiting groove 1222.
[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the limiting protrusion 1212 and the limiting groove 1222 to cooperate with each other to limit, when the first support member 121 is connected to the second support member 122 (when the flexible sleeve 110 is in the application state), the end of the first support member 121 away from the mounting hole 111a can be difficult to separate from the end of the second support member 122 away from the mounting hole 111a, so that the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 away from the mounting hole 111a can also be difficult to separate. This is beneficial to reducing the possibility of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 being away from each other or the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 being away from each other when the flexible sleeve 110 is in the application state, which may affect the connection reliability of the handle cover 100 and the grip 200, and affect the service life of the handle cover 100 and the aesthetic appearance of the use.
[0093] Specifically, during installation, the grip cover 100 can be spaced apart from the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113, allowing the size of the mounting hole 111a to be larger than the diameter of the grip 200. This facilitates fitting the flexible cover 110 onto the grip 200. At this point, the limiting protrusion 1212 does not enter the limiting groove 1222. After the flexible cover 110 is fitted onto the grip 200, for example, the limiting protrusion 1212 is located on the first support member 121 and the limiting groove 1222 is located on the second support member 122. The connection process between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 can be as follows.
[0094] A staff member can apply a force to the second palm rest flange 113 to move it away from the mounting hole 111a. Due to the flexibility of the flexible sleeve 110, the second palm rest flange 113 can be deformed to change the position of the second support member 122. By changing the position of the second support member 122, the limiting protrusion 1212 on the first support member 121 can more easily enter the limiting groove 1222 of the second support member 122. The staff member can then release the force applied to the second palm rest flange 113. The second palm rest flange 113 can be reset under the action of its own flexible force. At this time, at least a portion of the limiting protrusion 1212 can be located within the limiting groove 1222, so that the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are unlikely to move away from each other along the axis of the first pillar 1211, and thus the ends of the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 away from the mounting hole 111a are also unlikely to move away from each other.
[0095] In some examples, the limiting protrusion 1212 and the limiting groove 1222 may be located on a side of the first pillar 1211 and the second pillar 1221 facing away from the mounting hole 111 a .
[0096] In some examples, there may be multiple limiting protrusions 1212. The multiple limiting protrusions 1212 may be spaced apart along the axial direction of the mounting hole 111a. The number of limiting grooves 1222 matches the number of limiting protrusions 1212. The limiting grooves 1222 are arranged correspondingly to the limiting protrusions 1212.
[0097] In some possible implementations, see Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 of the embodiment of the present application can be provided with a positioning post 123. At least part of the positioning post 123 can be located in the mounting hole 111a. The positioning post 123 can be used to connect to the handle 200.
[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the positioning column 123 can be used to fix the grip 100 at a specified position of the handle 200 to limit the position of the grip 100 in the axial direction of the handle 200, thereby reducing the possibility of the grip 100 falling off the handle 200.
[0099] Specifically, the grip 200 may be provided with a positioning hole that matches the positioning post 123. During the installation of the grip cover 100, the positioning post 123 may be inserted into the positioning hole to determine the installation position of the grip cover 100. Then, the grip cover 100 and the grip 200 may be tightly connected.
[0100] In some examples, the axis of the positioning post 123 can pass through the center of the mounting hole 111a. When the positioning post 123 is inserted into the positioning hole of the grip 200, the positioning post 123 and the inner wall of the positioning hole can constrain each other to limit the position of the grip 100 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 111a in the axial direction of the grip 200, thereby more effectively reducing the possibility of the grip 100 falling off the grip 200.
[0101] In some examples, the positioning post 123 may be disposed on one of the first pillar 1211 and the second pillar 1221 .
[0102] For example, the cross section of the positioning post 123 may be in the shape of a cross. The cross section may be perpendicular to the axis of the positioning post 123. Correspondingly, the cross section of the positioning hole may match the cross section of the positioning post 123.
[0103] In some possible implementations, see Figure 4 As shown, the flexible sleeve 110 of the embodiment of the present application has a first outer surface 110b and a second outer surface 110c opposite to each other. The connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 is located on the first outer surface 110b or the second outer surface 110c.
[0104] One of the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 may be provided with an escape hole. The connector 130 passes through the escape hole to connect the first support member 121 and the second support member 122. The connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 and the escape hole may both be located on the first outer surface 110b. Alternatively, the connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 and the escape hole may both be located on the second outer surface 110c.
[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, a gap is easily generated at the connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113. The connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can be located on one of the outer surfaces of the flexible sleeve 110. The outer surface refers to the first outer surface 110b or the second outer surface 110c. When the staff installs the handle cover 100, the connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can be set in a position that is not easily observed. In other words, when the flexible sleeve 110 is in use, the connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can be located on the side facing away from the user, which is beneficial to improving the overall aesthetics of the handle cover 100.
[0106] One of the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 is provided with an escape hole through which the connector 130 can pass. Therefore, by arranging the connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 and the escape hole on the same outer surface of the flexible cover 110, both the connection and the escape hole can be located in locations that are difficult to observe. This, on the one hand, improves the integrity and aesthetics of the grip cover 100. On the other hand, the inconspicuousness of the escape hole prevents the grip 200 from being disassembled by persons other than the user and maintenance personnel, thus providing a certain anti-theft effect.
[0107] For example, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the connection between the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 is located on the first outer surface 110b, the avoidance hole can also be located on the first outer surface 110b. In this case, the first outer surface 110b can face away from the user. The second outer surface 110c can face the user to serve as the visible appearance surface.
[0108] In some achievable embodiments, the first support member 121 and the flexible sleeve 110 may be an integral structure. The second support member 122 and the flexible sleeve 110 may be an integral structure.
[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the first support member 121 can be formed by injection molding. The first support member 121 can then be overmolded with the flexible sleeve 110 to form an integral structure. Similarly, the second support member 122 can be formed by injection molding. The second support member 122 can then be overmolded with the flexible sleeve 110.
[0110] In some examples, the first support member 121, the second support member 122, and the flexible cover 110 can be integrally formed. By integrating the first support member 121, the second support member 122, and the flexible cover 110, assembly steps can be simplified, helping to reduce assembly costs. Therefore, when the flexible cover 110 is fitted onto the grip 200, installation, removal, or maintenance of the grip 100 can be completed simply by tightening or unlocking it using the connector 130.
[0111] In addition, the first support member 121 , the second support member 122 and the flexible sleeve 110 are an integrated structure, which can also improve the connection reliability between the first support member 121 , the second support member 122 and the flexible sleeve 110 .
[0112] In some possible implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a groove 111b may be provided on the inner wall of the annular body 111. The groove 111b extends along the axis of the mounting hole 111a and passes through the annular body 111. The first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 can move relative to the groove 111b.
[0113] The groove 111 b can be provided to improve the flexibility of the first palm rest flange 112 and the second palm rest flange 113 in moving away from each other, so as to achieve quick installation of the grip cover 100 .
[0114] The present application also provides a crossbar tube 10, see Figure 1 As shown, the handlebar tube 10 may include a grip 200. The grip 200 may be located at both ends of the handlebar tube 10. The grip 100 may be easily sleeved on the grip 200.
[0115] The embodiment of the present application may further provide a vehicle, which may include a vehicle body and a handlebar tube 10 .
[0116] The vehicle may be a bicycle, a scooter, or an electric vehicle, etc. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
