Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrument panel protection technology, and in particular to an instrument panel with a detachable protective structure. Background Technology
[0002] The dashboard of an electric bicycle is a crucial component, integrating functions such as displaying vehicle status, driving information, and battery level. Typically, the dashboard is located in the center or front of the handlebars for easy monitoring by the rider. Electric bicycles are frequently used in open environments, and the dashboard is usually directly exposed to the elements, making it susceptible to damage from wind, sun, and impacts. This leads to a shorter lifespan for the dashboard, ultimately increasing the user's operating costs. Therefore, a dashboard with a removable protective structure is needed to address these issues.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, an instrument panel with a detachable protective structure includes an instrument panel body 1, which is fixedly mounted on an electric vehicle body 2. Two limiting posts 3 are symmetrically fixedly mounted at the rear end of the instrument panel body 1. Elastic fixing bands 4 are mounted on the instrument panel body 1 and the two limiting posts 3. Each elastic fixing band 4 consists of an elastic band body 8 and connecting plates 9. Two connecting plates 9 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the two elastic band bodies 8. A limiting bracket 5 is mounted at the upper end of the elastic band body 8 and at the front end of the instrument panel body 1. The limiting bracket 5 consists of a base plate 11 and fixing springs 15. Two fixing springs 15 are symmetrically fixedly mounted within the base plate 11. A connecting assembly 6 is slidably mounted vertically within the base plate 11. The connecting assembly 6 consists of a main plate 16 and connecting blocks 17. Two connecting blocks 17 are symmetrically fixedly mounted at the left and right ends of the main plate 16. A protective assembly 7 is rotatably mounted on the main plate 16. The protective assembly 7 consists of a protective plate 19 and a mounting shaft 20. The mounting shaft 20 is fixedly mounted at one end of the protective plate 19. When the instrument panel body 1 is not needed, it can be detached as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the protective component 7 is placed over the upper part of the instrument panel body 1 to protect the instrument panel body 1. The method is as follows: first, the protective component 7 is placed over the upper part of the instrument panel body 1 to protect the instrument panel body 1. Figure 2 When the protective component 7 is pulled upwards as shown, it will cause the connecting component 6 to move upwards. The upward movement of the connecting component 6 will compress the fixing spring 15 on the limit bracket 5. After the protective plate 19 on the protective component 7 is removed from the slot 14, the protective plate 19 is rotated backwards about the mounting shaft 20, ultimately pressing the protective plate 19 against the upper end of the instrument panel body 1. When the instrument panel body 1 needs to be used, it can be... Figure 2 The protective component 7 is erected on the front side of the instrument panel body 1, as shown in the figure. The method is as follows: first, as shown in the figure... Figure 1 The protective component 7, in the state shown, rotates forward with its mounting shaft 20 as the axis. Then, the protective component 7 is released. At this time, under the elastic force of the fixing spring 15, the protective component 7 and the connecting component 6 will move downward, so that the protective plate 19 can be inserted into the slot 14. When it is necessary to remove the elastic fixing band 4, the limit bracket 5, the connecting component 6, and the protective component 7 from the instrument panel body 1, the connecting plate 9 on the elastic fixing band 4 can be removed from the limit post 3. Then, the elastic fixing band 4, the limit bracket 5, the connecting component 6, and the protective component 7 can be removed from the instrument panel body 1.
[0024] Finally, by setting up the protective component 7, the instrument panel body 1 can be protected when it is not in use, thereby reducing the exposure of the instrument panel body 1 to wind, sun, and impacts, thus extending its service life and reducing the probability of damage. By setting up the limit bracket 5 and the connecting component 6, the protective component 7 can be fixed and its shape can be changed so that when the instrument panel body 1 is in use, the protective component 7 can stand upright on the front side of the instrument panel body 1, thus providing shielding protection for the instrument panel body 1. By setting up the elastic fixing strap 4 and the limit post 3, the limit bracket 5, the connecting component 6, and the protective component 7 can be easily separated from the instrument panel body 1, so that when the limit bracket 5, the connecting component 6, and the protective component 7 are damaged, they can be easily disassembled and replaced.
[0025] Furthermore, the connecting plate 9 on the elastic fixing band 4 has a fitting hole 10. The elastic band body 8 is tied to the instrument panel body 1, and the connecting plate 9 is fitted onto the limiting post 3 through the fitting hole 10. The elastic band body 8 has a certain elasticity. When the elastic band body 8 is tied to the instrument panel body 1 and the connecting plate 9 is fitted onto the limiting post 3, the elastic band body 8 will be stretched open.
[0026] Furthermore, the base plate 11 on the limiting frame 5 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the elastic band body 8. The base plate 11 has a mounting groove 12 that extends through it from front to back. Two guide rail grooves 13 are symmetrically provided at the left and right ends of the base plate 11, communicating with the mounting groove 12. Two locking slots 14 are provided at the upper end of the base plate 11. The fixing spring 15 on the limiting frame 5 is fixedly installed on the upper inner wall of the guide rail groove 13. The main body plate 16 on the connecting assembly 6 is slidably installed vertically within the mounting groove 12. Block 17 is slidably installed in the guide rail groove 13. Connecting block 17 is also located at the lower end of fixing spring 15. Connecting groove 18 is opened at the upper end of the main body plate 16. The mounting shaft 20 on the protective component 7 is rotatably installed in the connecting groove 18. When the connecting component 6 is pulled upward by the protective component 7, the fixing spring 15 will be compressed and deformed by the connecting block 17. When the protective component 7 is rotated and placed on the upper end of the instrument panel body 1, the protective component 7 will be tightly attached to the upper end of the instrument panel body 1 under the elastic force of the fixing spring 15.
