[0012] The bracket is detachably connected to the forehead mount, and this detachable design allows users to install or remove the bracket as needed, increasing flexibility and convenience. It also facilitates maintenance and replacement.
[0013] By positioning the phone holder away from the handlebar assembly and in front of the display, creating a front-to-back arrangement, the distance between the phone holder and the display is ensured to be moderate. This reduces distraction and improves cycling safety by minimizing eye movement when viewing information on the phone and display. Furthermore, the phone does not obstruct the display, ensuring clear visibility of information.
[0014] In the aforementioned handlebar assembly, optionally, the display includes a display area, and along an extension direction perpendicular to the surface of the headrest, the orthographic projection of the bracket on the headrest does not cover the display area;
[0015] The display area is located on the side of the forehead seat away from the handlebar assembly.
[0016] With the above-described design, the display will not obstruct the user's view of the displayed information due to the bracket, ensuring its visibility. Furthermore, the user does not need to adjust their gaze or posture to view the information, improving the efficiency and safety of information acquisition. The display area is close to the user, reducing the amount of head or eye movement required while cycling, thus improving the convenience of information access and cycling safety. In addition, this design also reduces the impact of direct sunlight on the display area, improving the readability of the displayed information.
[0017] Optionally, in the aforementioned handlebar assembly, the display element may further include a non-display area located on the side of the display area near the bracket, extending along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the headrest.
[0018] The orthographic projection of the bracket on the forehead seat does not cover the non-display area; or, the orthographic projection of the bracket on the forehead seat covers part of the non-display area.
[0019] The above settings ensure the functional integrity of the non-display area and prevent the bracket from interfering with the operation and use of functional components (such as buttons or sensors) in the non-display area; or, by allowing the bracket to cover part of the non-display area, space utilization can be optimized to integrate various components while ensuring that the readability of information in the display area is not affected.
[0020] In the aforementioned handlebar assembly, optionally, the bracket includes a fixed end and a movable end, the fixed end being connected to the headstock, and the movable end being telescopically oriented relative to the fixed end.
[0021] When the display includes a display area and a non-display area, the maximum distance that the movable end can move along the extension direction perpendicular to the handle assembly is less than or equal to the length of the non-display area.
[0022] With the above settings, the fixed end ensures that the bracket is securely connected to the handlebar assembly, ensuring that the bracket remains stable during riding and will not loosen due to vibration or other external forces, thereby improving the safety of electronic devices and the user experience; the telescopic function of the movable end allows users to adjust the length of the bracket as needed to accommodate electronic devices of different sizes; the movable range of the movable end does not exceed the length of the non-display area; when the movable end reaches its maximum extension, the bracket will not obstruct the display area, thereby ensuring the readability of the displayed information and that the user's line of sight is not disturbed.
[0023] Optionally, in the aforementioned handlebar assembly, the bracket is rotatably connected to the headrest.
[0024] With the above settings, users can adjust the angle of the stand according to their personal needs or different usage scenarios. For example, users can adjust the stand to the optimal viewing angle for better viewing of information on electronic devices, thereby improving ease of use. The rotatable design allows the stand to adapt to different device sizes and shapes. Users can adjust it according to the size and shape of the device to ensure that the electronic device is securely fixed to the stand. Secondly, during cycling, users may need to quickly adjust the viewing angle of the device to cope with different lighting conditions or view different information. The rotatable connection makes this adjustment simple and quick, avoiding user distraction during cycling and thus improving cycling safety.
[0025] In the aforementioned handlebar assembly, optionally, along an extension direction perpendicular to the surface of the overhead headstock, the overhead headstock includes an overhead headstock body, a mounting member, and a locking member. The mounting member is located on the front side of the overhead headstock body, and the locking member is fixedly connected to the mounting member.
[0026] The horizontal assembly is connected to the forehead seat body via the locking fastener and the mounting component.
[0027] Through the aforementioned separate installation, the mounting components and locking components can effectively distribute and bear the force from the handlebar assembly, increasing the strength of the connection and improving riding safety and comfort; on the other hand, the separate installation method facilitates the installation and removal of the handlebar assembly.
[0028] In the aforementioned handlebar assembly, optionally, the mounting component and the locking component together form an installation channel;
[0029] The handlebar assembly includes a handlebar tube and a grip. The grip is connected to the end of the handlebar tube, which is located within the mounting channel. The middle part of the handlebar tube is connected to the mounting component via the locking fastener.
[0030] With the above setup, the connection between the locking and mounting components allows the mounting components and locking components to effectively distribute and bear the force from the handlebars and grips, increasing the strength of the connection and improving riding safety and comfort. On the other hand, the separate installation method facilitates the installation and removal of the handlebar components.
[0031] Optionally, in the aforementioned handlebar assembly, the overhead mount may further include an upper cover and a lower cover.
[0032] The upper cover covers the locking element and part of the handlebar tube, the lower cover covers the mounting element and part of the handlebar tube, and the upper cover and the lower cover are fixedly connected;
[0033] The bracket is detachably connected to the side of the upper cover opposite to the handle tube.
[0034] With the above design, the upper and lower covers work together to protect internal components (such as locking mechanisms, mounting hardware, and part of the handlebar tube) from external environmental factors (such as dust and moisture). The detachable bracket allows users to install or remove it as needed, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the bracket's connection to the side of the upper cover away from the handlebar tube ensures it does not interfere with the handlebar tube's function or affect riding comfort.
[0035] In the aforementioned handlebar assembly, optionally, the mounting component and the headrest body are an integral part.
[0036] By integrating the mounting component with the main body of the front-end mount, the connection strength between them is improved, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the front-end mount and preventing malfunctions caused by loose connections or failures. Furthermore, the integrated design eliminates the need for additional connectors or complex assembly steps, reducing potential errors during assembly and improving consistency and reliability; it also increases production efficiency and reduces costs.
[0037] Optionally, in the aforementioned handlebar assembly, the handlebar crossbar assembly includes a grip and a warning light, the warning light being located at the end of the grip.
[0038] With the above-mentioned setup, the indicator light is located at the end of the handlebar, making it easier for the rider to be seen by other road users, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This improves the rider's visibility and thus enhances riding safety. The indicator light can also be used to issue signals, such as turn signals or to warn other vehicles and pedestrians, which helps improve communication efficiency between the rider and other road users and reduces the risk of traffic accidents. Integrating the indicator light into the end of the handlebar makes efficient use of space and does not take up extra handlebar space or affect the function of other components.
[0039] Optionally, in the aforementioned handlebar assembly, the handlebar crossbar assembly further includes a protective component, the protective component housing the indicator light, and the protective component having a light-transmitting area corresponding to the indicator light;
[0040] The protective component is fixedly connected to the indicator light.
[0041] Through the above-described design, the protective component provides physical protection for the indicator light, preventing it from being subjected to external impacts, scratches, or other damage during riding. This helps extend the lifespan of the indicator light and reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the protective component's raised indicator light enhances the stability and reliability of the indicator light, preventing it from shifting due to vibration or impact. It also prevents the indicator light from being directly exposed, improving the overall aesthetics of the handlebar assembly.
[0042] Optionally, in the above-mentioned handlebar assembly, the overhead assembly further includes a QR code module and a light-transmitting element. The QR code module is disposed on the overhead mount, and the QR code module is spaced apart from the bracket and the display element.
[0043] The light-transmitting component is detachably connected to the QR code module and covers the QR code module, and the light-transmitting component is used to protect the QR code module.
[0044] Through the above-described settings, the spacing ensures that the QR code module will not interfere with the function and operation of the support and display components, guaranteeing that each structure can operate independently. The spacing also helps ensure that the QR code is not obstructed by other structures during scanning, improving scanning accuracy and convenience. The light-transmitting component provides physical protection for the QR code module, preventing it from being affected by dust, moisture, or physical damage, thereby extending the module's lifespan. The detachable design allows for easy removal of the light-transmitting component for cleaning or replacing the QR code module, improving maintenance convenience.
[0045] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a personal mobility vehicle, including a personal mobility vehicle body and the aforementioned handlebar assembly, wherein the personal mobility vehicle body is connected to the bottom of the front seat of the handlebar assembly.

[0063] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0064] In related technologies, such as the gooseneck assembly and mobility scooter disclosed in Chinese Patent CN217374770U, the gooseneck assembly includes a gooseneck base and an instrument cluster assembly. The gooseneck base is connected to the handlebars via a locking block and is located in the middle of the handlebars. The instrument cluster assembly is connected to the gooseneck base and includes at least two display modules, at least one of which is arranged sequentially with the gooseneck base along the axial direction of the handlebars.
[0065] However, in the aforementioned goose-head assembly, the two display modules of the instrument cluster are located on the left and right sides of the goose-head base. When viewing the instrument cluster, the user needs to shake their head left and right to obtain all the information of the instrument cluster. The process is complicated and inconvenient for the user to obtain complete information about the instrument cluster. In addition, the above viewing process poses a safety hazard and is not conducive to user use.
[0066] For example, Chinese patent CN216709550U discloses a goose head assembly and a mobility scooter. The goose head assembly includes a goose head, a dashboard, a self-lubricating slider, a clamping component, and an elastic component. The connecting part of the clamping component is embedded in the receiving cavity and connected to the self-lubricating slider. Connecting the connecting part of the clamping component to the self-lubricating slider makes it less likely to produce abnormal noise when the clamping component is pulled.
[0067] However, in the goose head assembly described above, the clamping part is manufactured together with the goose head, and the clamping part cannot be replaced, making it inconvenient to replace or maintain.
[0068] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a handlebar assembly connected to the main body of a personal mobility vehicle. The handlebar assembly includes a handlebar cross assembly and a top assembly connected to the handlebar cross assembly. The top assembly includes: a top seat, one end of which is connected to the handlebar cross assembly and the other end of which is connected to the main body of the personal mobility vehicle; a display element located on the top seat and disposed away from the handlebar cross assembly; and a bracket detachably connected to the top seat, wherein the bracket is located in front of the display element in the extension direction perpendicular to the handlebar cross assembly.
[0069] The handlebar assembly provided in this application embodiment has a top rail assembly connected to the handlebar assembly, allowing the top rail assembly to be securely mounted on the handlebars. This provides a stable mounting platform for the display and bracket, ensuring that their function is not affected by vibration during riding. By integrating the display and bracket into the top rail assembly, the structure is simplified, installation steps are reduced, and the overall aesthetics and functionality are improved.
[0070] The display is mounted directly on the front seat to ensure it is directly in front of the user's line of sight, allowing the user to easily view information such as battery level, speed, and time while riding, thus improving the convenience of information access and riding safety.
[0071] The bracket is detachably connected to the forehead mount, and this detachable design allows users to install or remove the bracket as needed, increasing flexibility and convenience. It also facilitates maintenance and replacement.
[0072] By positioning the phone holder away from the handlebar assembly and in front of the display, creating a front-to-back arrangement, the distance between the phone holder and the display is ensured to be moderate. This reduces distraction and improves cycling safety by minimizing eye movement when viewing information on the phone and display. Furthermore, the phone does not obstruct the display, ensuring clear visibility of information.
[0073] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar devices or devices having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some device embodiments of this application, not all device embodiments. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0074] Reference Figure 1 In one aspect, embodiments of this application provide a personal mobility vehicle 20, including a vehicle body 21 and a handlebar assembly 10. It should be noted that the personal mobility vehicle 20 can be a scooter or an electric vehicle.
[0075] It is understood that the main body 21 of the mobility scooter may include multiple structures other than the handlebar assembly 10, such as the frame and tires. The handlebar assembly 10 is usually located on the top of the mobility scooter 20, therefore, the main body 21 of the mobility scooter is connected to the bottom of the handlebar assembly 10.
[0076] Reference Figure 1 Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a handlebar assembly 10, which includes a handlebar cross assembly 100 and a top rail assembly 200. The top rail assembly 200 is connected to the handlebar cross assembly 100.
[0077] By connecting the front bumper assembly 200 to the handlebar assembly 100, a stable mounting base is provided for the user, ensuring that the front bumper assembly 200 will not loosen or shift during riding.
[0078] The forehead assembly 200 includes a forehead seat 210, a display 220, and a bracket 230. The main body 21 of the mobility scooter can then be connected to the bottom of the forehead seat 210.
[0079] One end of the front bumper 210 is connected to the handlebar assembly 100, and the other end is connected to the main body 21 of the mobility scooter. Through this connection, the front bumper 210 connects the handlebar assembly 100 and the main body 21 of the mobility scooter, ensuring that the front bumper 210 can effectively transmit and distribute force during riding, thereby reducing pressure on a single connection point.
[0080] To enhance the overall stability of the mobility scooter 20.
[0081] The display 220 can be used to display the speed, battery level, etc. of the mobility scooter 20. The display 220 is located on the front seat 210 and is positioned away from the handlebar assembly 100.
[0082] Understandably, the user contacts the handlebar assembly 100 to operate the mobility scooter 20, and there is a significant distance between the handlebar assembly 100 and the user to allow for arm extension. At this time, the display 220 is positioned further away from the handlebar assembly 100 and closer to the user, making it easier for the user to directly view important information such as speed and battery level while riding. This improves the convenience of information access and riding safety.
[0083] It should be noted that the specific information displayed by the display element 220 is not limited in the embodiments of this application, and different types and forms of display elements 220 can be selected according to the actual situation.
[0084] The bracket 230 is used to mount electronic devices such as mobile phones, making it convenient for users to use electronic devices while cycling. The bracket 230 is detachably connected to the headrest 210.
[0085] Understandably, the detachable design enhances the flexibility of the bracket 230, allowing users to install or remove the bracket 230 as needed.
[0086] Reference Figure 1 Let X be the extension direction of the horizontal component 100, and Y be the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the horizontal component 100. It should be noted that during riding, the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the horizontal component 100 is the riding direction of the mobility scooter 20, such as forward or backward.
[0087] In the Y-direction perpendicular to the extension of the handlebar assembly 100, the bracket 230 is located in front of the display 220, meaning that in the riding direction of the mobility scooter 20, the bracket 230 is positioned in front of the display 220. This front-to-back arrangement of the bracket 230 and display 220 ensures a suitable distance between them, allowing the user to view information on the electronic devices on the bracket 230 and the display 220 without significantly shifting their gaze, reducing distraction and improving riding safety.
[0088] On the other hand, the bracket 230 is located in front of the display 220, that is, the bracket 230 is located in front of the display 220 in the riding direction. The bracket 230 will not block the display 220, thus avoiding the electronic devices in the bracket 230 from blocking the display 220, thereby ensuring the visibility of information.
[0089] Reference Figure 2 As an optional implementation, the display 220 includes a display area 221, which is used to display information of the mobility scooter 20, such as speed, battery level, time, etc.
[0090] Along the extension direction perpendicular to the surface of the forehead mount 210, the orthographic projection of the bracket 230 onto the forehead mount 210 does not cover the display area 221. With this arrangement, the display 220 will not obstruct the user's view of the displayed information due to the presence of the bracket 230, ensuring the visibility of the display 220. Furthermore, the user does not need to adjust their gaze or posture to view the displayed information, improving the efficiency and security of information acquisition.
[0091] It should be noted that the extension direction perpendicular to the surface of the forehead mount 210 is different from the aforementioned riding direction. For example, the riding direction is related to the ground; if the ground is flat, the riding direction is horizontal. However, the extension direction of the forehead mount 210 surface may be the same as or intersect with the horizontal direction, depending on the structure of the forehead mount 210 itself. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the forehead mount 210 surface intersects with the horizontal direction.
[0092] It is understood that the bracket 230 and the display component 220 are both located on the top of the forehead seat 210, and the aforementioned surface of the forehead seat 210 is the top surface of the forehead seat 210.
[0093] The display area 221 is located on the side of the forehead mount 210 away from the handlebar assembly 100. This arrangement brings the display area 221 closer to the user, reducing the amount of head or eye movement required while riding, thus improving information access convenience and riding safety. Furthermore, this design reduces the impact of direct sunlight on the display area 221, improving the readability of the displayed information.
[0094] Reference Figure 2 As an optional implementation, the display element 220 also includes a non-display area 222, which can be used to accommodate other functional components, such as buttons, sensors, or decorative elements. It is understood that the non-display area 222 may also be without the aforementioned functional components, and simply be the edge of the display area 221.
[0095] The non-display area 222 is located on the side of the display area 221 that is close to the bracket 230, which can reduce the visual interference of the bracket 230 on the display area 221 and avoid affecting the readability of the displayed information.
[0096] It is understandable that the position of the bracket 230 may be different when the display component 220 also includes a non-display area 222.
[0097] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, along the extension direction perpendicular to the surface of the forehead seat 210, i.e. Z, the orthogonal projection of the bracket 230 on the forehead seat 210 does not cover the non-display area 222. The above arrangement can ensure the functional integrity of the non-display area 222 and prevent the bracket 230 from affecting the operation and use of the functional components (such as buttons or sensors) of the non-display area 222.
[0098] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, along the Z-direction perpendicular to the surface of the forehead mount 210, the orthogonal projection of the bracket 230 onto the forehead mount 210 covers a portion of the non-display area 222. By allowing the bracket 230 to cover a portion of the non-display area 222, space utilization can be optimized to integrate various components while ensuring that the readability of information in the display area 221 is not affected.
[0099] Reference Figure 4 As an optional implementation, the bracket 230 includes a fixed end 231 and a movable end 232. The fixed end 231 is connected to the forehead seat 210, and the movable end 232 is telescopically arranged relative to the fixed end 231.
[0100] With the above settings, the fixed end 231 ensures that the bracket 230 is securely connected to the handlebar assembly 10, so as to ensure that the bracket 230 remains stable during riding and will not loosen due to vibration or other external forces, thereby improving the safety of electronic devices and the user experience.
[0101] The telescopic function of the movable end 232 allows users to adjust the length of the bracket 230 as needed to accommodate electronic devices of different sizes (such as mobile phones, navigators, etc.).
[0102] It should be noted that the telescopic arrangement of the active end 232 relative to the fixed end 231 can take different forms.
[0103] In some embodiments, a slide rail may be provided between the movable end 232 and the fixed end 231, with the movable end 232 located on the slide rail to move relative to the fixed end 231, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the movable end 232.
[0104] In some other embodiments, the movable end 232 has a certain elasticity, and the movable end 232 can undergo elastic deformation relative to the fixed end 231, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the movable end 232.
[0105] The embodiments of this application do not limit the implementation of scaling, nor are they limited to the examples described above.
[0106] Reference Figure 3 When the display component 220 includes a display area 221 and a non-display area 222, the maximum distance that the movable end 232 can move along the extension direction perpendicular to the horizontal assembly 100 is less than or equal to the length of the non-display area 222. That is, the movable range of the movable end 232 does not exceed the length of the non-display area 222.
[0107] In this way, when the movable end 232 reaches its maximum extension, the bracket 230 will not block the display area 221, thus ensuring the readability of the displayed information and that the user's line of sight is not disturbed.
[0108] As an optional implementation, the bracket 230 is rotatably connected to the forehead seat 210, meaning that the bracket 230 can be rotated or its angle adjusted around the connection point.
[0109] With the above settings, users can adjust the angle of the stand 230 according to their personal needs or different usage scenarios. For example, users can adjust the stand 230 to the optimal viewing angle to better view information on the device (such as a mobile phone screen or navigator), thereby improving ease of use.
[0110] In addition, the rotatable design allows the bracket 230 to adapt to different device sizes and shapes. Users can adjust it according to the size and shape of the device to ensure that the electronic device is securely fixed on the bracket 230.
[0111] Secondly, during cycling, users may need to quickly adjust the device's viewing angle to cope with different lighting conditions or view different information. The rotatable connection makes this adjustment simple and quick, preventing user distraction while cycling and thus improving cycling safety.
[0112] It should be noted that the bracket 230 and the forehead seat 210 can achieve rotation through different structures. For example, a universal joint can be provided between the bracket 230 and the forehead seat 210 to achieve rotation between them. Another example is that one of the bracket 230 and the forehead seat 210 is provided with a spherical member, and the other with a spherical limiting hole, allowing the spherical member to rotate within the spherical limiting hole, thereby achieving rotation between the bracket 230 and the forehead seat 210.
[0113] The embodiments of this application do not limit how the bracket 230 and the forehead seat 210 can rotate, nor are they limited to the above examples.
[0114] Reference Figure 4 As an optional implementation, along an extension direction perpendicular to the surface of the forehead seat 210, the forehead seat 210 includes a forehead seat body 211, a mounting member 212, and a locking member 213, with the forehead seat body 211 serving to provide basic structural support.
[0115] Mounting member 212 is located on the front side of the headrest body 211. Locking member 213 is fixedly connected to mounting member 212, and the horizontal assembly 100 is connected to the headrest body 211 through locking member 213 and mounting member 212. That is, mounting member 212 and locking member 213 cooperate to install the horizontal assembly 100.
[0116] Specifically, along the Y-direction perpendicular to the extension of the handlebar assembly 100, the mounting member 212 is located on the front side of the headrest body 211 to mount the handlebar assembly 100 to the front side of the headrest body 211. The handlebar assembly 100 is located above the mounting member 212, and the locking member 213 is located above the handlebar assembly 100 and connected to the mounting member 212 to complete the connection between the handlebar assembly 100 and the headrest body 211.
[0117] Through the aforementioned separate installation, the mounting component 212 and the locking component 213 can effectively distribute and bear the force from the handlebar assembly 100, increasing the firmness of the connection and improving the safety and comfort of riding; on the other hand, the separate installation method facilitates the installation and removal of the handlebar assembly 100.
[0118] In this embodiment, the locking element 213 and the mounting element 212 can be connected by a threaded connection. The above is only an example and can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0119] Reference Figure 4 As an optional implementation, the mounting member 212 and the locking member 213 together form an installation channel 214, which is used to accommodate and fix the handlebar assembly 100.
[0120] With the above settings, the installation channel 214 can ensure that the horizontal component 100 can be accurately positioned during installation and remain stable during riding.
[0121] The handlebar assembly 100 includes a handlebar tube 110 and a grip 120. The grip 120 is connected to the end of the handlebar tube 110 and provides a comfortable grip position for the user. The handlebar tube 110 is used to connect and support the grip 120 and the headrest 210.
[0122] The horizontal tube 110 is positioned within the mounting channel 214 to ensure that it is fixed to the front mount 210 during installation, preventing it from loosening or shifting during riding, thereby improving riding safety and stability.
[0123] The middle section of the handlebar tube 110 is connected to the mounting member 212 via a locking member 213, meaning that the locking member 213 and the mounting member 212 are installed in the middle section of the handlebar tube 110. Through the connection of the locking member 213 and the mounting member 212, the mounting member 212 and the locking member 213 can effectively distribute and bear the force from the handlebar tube 110 and the grip 120, increasing the strength of the connection and improving riding safety and comfort. Furthermore, the separate installation method facilitates the installation and removal of the handlebar assembly 100.
[0124] As an optional implementation, the mounting component 212 and the forehead mount body 211 are integrated into one piece.
[0125] By integrating the mounting component 212 with the forehead mount body 211, the connection strength between the mounting component 212 and the forehead mount body 211 can be improved, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the forehead mount 210 and preventing malfunctions caused by loose connections or failures.
[0126] In addition, the integrated design eliminates the need for additional connectors or complex assembly steps, reducing potential errors during assembly and improving consistency and reliability; it can also increase production efficiency and reduce costs.
[0127] Reference Figure 5 As an optional implementation, the forehead mount 210 also includes an upper cover 215 and a lower cover 216, which together can protect internal components (such as the locking element 213, the mounting element 212 and part of the handlebar tube 110) from external environmental factors (such as dust and moisture).
[0128] The top cover 215 covers the locking element 213 and part of the handlebar cross tube 110. By covering the locking element 213, the top cover 215 provides additional protection to prevent the locking element 213 from being damaged or accidentally loosened during use. In addition, the top cover 215 covering part of the handlebar cross tube 110 helps to maintain a neat and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
[0129] The lower cover 216 covers the mounting piece 212 and part of the handlebar cross tube 110. The lower cover 216 ensures that the mounting piece 212 is protected from the influence of the external environment during use. In addition, the lower cover 216 covering part of the handlebar cross tube 110 also helps to protect it from wear and damage.
[0130] The upper cover 215 and the lower cover 216 are fixedly connected to ensure that the upper cover 215 and the lower cover 216 will not loosen or shift during use, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the handlebar assembly 10.
[0131] In this embodiment, the upper cover 215 and the lower cover 216 can be threaded together using a screw connector. This is merely an example and can be adjusted according to actual circumstances.
[0132] The bracket 230 is detachably connected to the side of the top cover 215 opposite to the handlebar cross tube 110. This configuration allows users to install or remove the bracket 230 as needed, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the bracket 230's connection to the side of the top cover 215 opposite to the handlebar cross tube 110 ensures it does not interfere with the function of the handlebar cross tube 110 or affect riding comfort.
[0133] Reference Figure 5 As an alternative implementation, the horizontal assembly 100 includes a grip 120 and an indicator light 130, with the indicator light 130 located at the end of the grip 120.
[0134] The indicator light 130 is located at the end of the handlebar 120, making the user more visible to other road users while riding, especially at night or in low light conditions. This improves the user's visibility and thus enhances riding safety.
[0135] It should be noted that the indicator light 130 can be used to issue signals, such as turn signals or to warn other vehicles and pedestrians, which helps improve communication efficiency between cyclists and other road users and reduces the risk of traffic accidents.
[0136] Understandably, integrating the indicator light 130 into the end of the grip 120 effectively utilizes space without taking up extra handlebar space or affecting the function of other components.
[0137] Reference Figure 5 As an optional implementation, the horizontal assembly 100 also includes a protective member 140, which covers the indicator light 130. That is, the protective member 140 provides physical protection for the indicator light 130, preventing the indicator light 130 from being subjected to external impacts, scratches or other damage during riding, which helps to extend the service life of the indicator light 130 and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement of the indicator light 130.
[0138] In addition, the protective component 140 with the lift light can indicate the stability and reliability of the indicator light 130, prevent the indicator light 130 from shifting due to vibration or impact, and prevent the indicator light 130 from being directly exposed, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the handlebar assembly.
[0139] It should be noted that the protective component 140 can be a flexible structure, such as a rubber protective component, which can provide a certain degree of comfort while protecting the indicator light 130.
[0140] The protective element 140 has a light-transmitting area 141 corresponding to the indicator light 130. The light-transmitting area 141 ensures that the light from the indicator light 130 can be fully transmitted and will not be blocked by the protective element 140, thereby maintaining the effectiveness and brightness of the indicator light 130.
[0141] It should be noted that the shape of the light-transmitting area 141 needs to match the shape and direction of the indicator light 130 in order to achieve directional lighting or signal indication function and improve the practicality of the indicator light 130.
[0142] For example, the indicator light 130 can provide a circular beam of light, and the light-transmitting area 141 can also be set to a circle. This application embodiment does not limit this, nor is it limited to the above example.
[0143] The protective component 140 is fixedly connected to the indicator light 130. The fixed connection ensures that the protective component 140 and the indicator light 130 will not loosen or separate during use, thereby improving the overall stability and durability of the handlebar assembly 100.
[0144] In this embodiment, the protective element 140 and the indicator light 130 can be threadedly connected by a screw connector. Specifically, the protective element 140 has a through hole, and the handle 120 has a threaded hole corresponding to the position of the indicator light 130. The screw connector passes through the through hole of the protective element 140 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby protecting the indicator light 130 located between the protective element 140 and the handle 120. This is merely an example and can be adjusted according to actual circumstances.
[0145] Reference Figure 5 As an optional implementation, the forehead component 200 also includes a QR code module 240 and a light-transmitting element 250.
[0146] The QR code module 240 can be used to store and provide information about the mobility scooter 20, user manuals, maintenance records or other relevant information, so that users can obtain and interact with information by scanning the QR code.
[0147] By setting up the QR code module 240, users can quickly obtain relevant information or services (such as navigation, maintenance services, etc.) for the mobility scooter 20, improving the convenience and intelligence of the user experience.
[0148] The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific functions matched by the QR code, nor are they limited to the examples described above.
[0149] The QR code module 240 is mounted on the forehead support 210, and is spaced apart from the bracket 230 and display unit 220. This spacing ensures that the QR code module 240 does not interfere with the function and operation of the bracket 230 and display unit 220, allowing each structure to function independently. The spacing also helps ensure that the QR code is not obstructed by other structures during scanning, improving scanning accuracy and convenience.
[0150] The light-transmitting element 250 is detachably connected to the QR code module 240 and covers the QR code module 240. The light-transmitting element 250 is used to protect the QR code module 240.
[0151] Understandably, the light-transmitting element 250 provides physical protection for the QR code module 240, preventing it from being affected by dust, moisture, or physical damage, thereby extending the service life of the QR code module 240. The detachable design allows the light-transmitting element 250 to be easily removed for cleaning or replacement of the QR code module 240, improving maintenance convenience.
[0152] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the light-transmitting element 250 and the QR code module 240 can be connected by a screw thread to achieve detachability. The above is only an example and can be adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0153] Furthermore, the light-transmitting element 250 needs to ensure that the QR code is not affected when scanned, maintaining good optical performance so that the readability of the QR code is not compromised. Therefore, the material used to manufacture the light-transmitting element 250 is a light-transmitting material, such as glass.
