[0059] To make the purposes, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the beach vehicle comprises a handlebar 10 , wherein the handlebar 10 is formed of a bent steel pipe, and both ends of the handlebar 10 are provided with grips 100 for the driver to hold, so as to control the direction of the beach vehicle.

[0061] It also includes a protective cover assembly 1 installed on the front side of the handlebar 100 to protect the driver's hands. One end of the protective cover assembly 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the handlebar 100 on the end wall of the handlebar 10 through a first positioning component 2, and the other end of the protective cover assembly 1 is fixedly installed on the handlebar 10 through a second positioning component 3.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover assembly 1 includes a frame 11 and a protective cover 12 that can be detachably mounted on the frame 11, wherein the frame 11 is an integrally formed L-shaped structure, including a first extension portion 101 and a second extension portion 102, the first extension portion 101 is mounted on the side end of the handle 100 and is perpendicular to the handle 100, the second extension portion 102 is parallel to the handle 100, and the protective cover 12 can be detachably mounted on the second extension portion 102.

[0063] A plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the first extension portion 101 of the frame 11 and the second extension portion 102 of the frame 11 , so as to improve the overall strength of the protective cover assembly 1 .

[0064] It is worth mentioning here that the front direction of the ATV is defined as the front side, and the parking space direction of the ATV is defined as the rear side. The protective cover 12 is detachably installed on the front side of the second extension part 102. The protective cover 12 is used to resist external sharp objects such as branches and weeds to avoid scratches on the driver's hands. When the protective cover 12 is damaged, the protective cover 12 can be directly replaced, and the frame 11 is still fixed on the handlebar 10, thereby reducing the cost of replacing the entire protective cover assembly 1.

[0065] In order to fix the frame 11 on the handlebar 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first positioning component 2 includes a positioning screw sleeve 21 and a second screw 22, wherein the positioning screw sleeve 21 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the handle 100, and a positioning screw hole 211 is provided on the positioning screw sleeve 21, and a countersunk hole 111 is provided on the first extension portion 101, wherein the second screw 22 passes through the countersunk hole 111 and is threadedly connected to the positioning screw hole 211 of the positioning screw sleeve 21, thereby fixing the first extension portion 101 on the end wall of the handle 100.

[0066] The other end of the skeleton 11 is fixed to the handlebar 10 through the second positioning component 3. Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the second positioning component 3 is fixedly connected to the second extension portion 102 through the third screw 4, and the other end of the second positioning component 3 is embraced on the handlebar 10 to achieve the fixation of the second positioning component 3 and the handlebar 10.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second positioning component 3 includes a first positioning block 31 and a second positioning block 32, wherein the first positioning block 31 is provided with a first holding groove 311 that is clamped on the peripheral wall of the handlebar 10, and the second positioning block 32 is provided with a second holding groove 321 that is clamped on the peripheral wall of the handlebar 10, wherein the first positioning block 31 and the second positioning block 32 are clamped on the handlebar 10 in the form of a clamp, and then fixed by a fourth screw 51 and a nut 52.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first positioning block 31 is provided with a first mounting hole 312, and the second positioning block 32 is provided with a second mounting hole 322. When the first positioning block 31 and the second positioning block 32 are embraced on the handlebar 10, the first mounting hole 312 and the second mounting hole 322 are aligned, and then the fourth screw 51 is inserted into the second mounting hole 322 through the first mounting hole 312, and finally the nut 52 is placed into the second mounting hole 322, so that the nut 52 is threadedly connected to the fourth screw 51.

[0069] In order to accurately align the first mounting hole 312 and the second mounting hole 322, in this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the first positioning block 31 is provided with a positioning groove 313, and the second positioning block 32 is provided with a plug-in block 323 aligned with the positioning groove 313. When the first positioning block 31 and the second positioning block 32 are installed, the plug-in block 323 is plugged into the positioning groove 313, and then the relative positions of the first positioning block 31 and the second positioning block 32 are calibrated, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the first mounting hole 312 and the second mounting hole 322.

[0070] Since the widths of drivers' palms vary, the handle 100 may appear shorter, affecting the driver's grip. Therefore, in this embodiment, an extension sleeve 23 is further included, which is installed between the first extension portion 101 and the end wall of the handle 100. One end of the extension sleeve 23 abuts against the first extension portion 101, and the other end of the extension sleeve 23 abuts against the end wall of the handle 100. The second screw 22 passes through the extension sleeve 23 and is threadedly connected to the positioning nut 21. This solution lengthens the length of the handle 100 and can adapt to the width of the driver's palm.

As the second screw 22 is fed into the interior of the positioning screw sleeve 21, the extension sleeve 23 is clamped between the first extension portion 101 and the handlebar 100, thereby completing the fixation of the first extension portion 101; the fourth step is to rotate the fourth screw 51. At this time, the fourth screw 51 is fed into the nut 52, thereby making the first positioning block 31 and the second positioning block 32 embrace and be on the handlebar 10, thereby realizing the pre-tightening of the second positioning component 3.

[0072] In order to achieve the installation of the protective cover 12, in this embodiment, a plug hole 112 is provided at the connecting position of the first extension part 101 and the second extension part 102, and a positioning seat 113 is provided on the side of the second extension part 102 away from the handle 100, wherein the protective cover 12 is provided with a plug connector 121 aligned with the plug hole 112 on the side facing the handle 100, and the protective cover 12 is also provided with a positioning head 122 aligned with the positioning seat 113. When installing the protective cover 12, the plug connector 121 is plugged into the plug hole 112, and then the positioning head 122 is plugged into the positioning seat 113, and then the positioning seat 113 and the positioning head 122 are fixed using the first screw 114, thereby achieving the installation of the protective cover 12.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning seat 113 is arranged on the second extension portion 102, the tail of the positioning seat 113 extends toward the side of the handle 100, the positioning head 122 is arranged on the protective cover 12 and extends toward the side of the handle 100, and the first screw 114 extends from one side of the positioning seat 113 to the side of the positioning head 122, thereby achieving the fixation of the positioning seat 113 and the positioning head 122. At this time, the positioning head 122 will not protrude on the outside of the protective cover 12, thereby improving the aesthetics of the protective cover 12.

[0074] In order to further strengthen the firmness of the protective cover 12 and the second extension portion 102, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the second extension portion 102 is further provided with a female connector 115, and the protective cover 12 is provided with a sub-connection seat 124. The female connector 115 and the sub-connection seat 124 are both provided with a slot with an opening facing away from the handle 100. When the protective cover 12 is installed, the sub-connection seat 124 is plugged into the female connector 115. Figure 6 As shown, a threaded hole 314 is provided on the first positioning block 31, and the third screw 4 passes through the connecting sub-seat 124 and the connecting female seat 115 in sequence, and is then inserted into the threaded hole 314.
