Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of personal mobility devices, and more particularly to a handlebar instrument structure, handlebar assembly, and personal mobility vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Handlebar assemblies are an important component of personal mobility vehicles such as bicycles, electric bikes, and electric scooters. Handlebar assemblies include the instrument panel structure, which comprises the instrument panel cover, circuit board assembly, and top mount.

[0003] Existing instrument cover and circuit board assembly are usually non-removable structures. During the use of the vehicle, the instrument cover is prone to scratches. Replacing the instrument cover requires replacing the entire instrument structure, resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0004] Forcibly replacing only the instrument cover will damage the sealing structure between the instrument cover and the circuit board assembly, affecting the sealing effect between the instrument cover and the circuit board assembly. Moreover, the circuit board will be directly exposed to the environment during the repair process, making it prone to damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The instrument structure, handlebar assembly, and personal mobility vehicle provided in this application are intended to solve problems such as high replacement costs, damage to the sealing structure, and direct exposure of the instrument structure's circuit board to the environment when it needs to be repaired or replaced, which can easily lead to damage to the circuit board.

[0006] The instrument structure of the handlebar provided in this application embodiment includes: a circuit box, an instrument cover, and a front mount;

[0007] The circuit box contains a circuit board and is located between the front seat and the instrument cover. The instrument cover is located outside the circuit box and is separate from the circuit box.

[0008] The instrument cover is detachably connected to the forehead mount.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the setting method in related technologies, when the instrument cover needs to be replaced, the instrument structure in this application embodiment only needs to replace the instrument cover when the instrument cover is removed from the front seat, and the circuit box will not be affected, thereby reducing maintenance costs and ensuring the sealing effect of the circuit box, reducing the risk of the circuit board being exposed to the environment.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the instrument cover has a display area, and the plane in which the display area is located is a first plane;

[0011] The projection of the instrument cover onto the first plane is the first projection, and the projection of the circuit box onto the first plane is the second projection. The first projection at least partially covers the second projection.

[0012] With this configuration, the projection of the instrument cover onto the first plane is the first projection, and the projection of the circuit box onto the first plane is the second projection. The first projection at least partially covers the second projection, so that at least part of the circuit box is located inside the instrument cover, thereby improving the protective effect of the instrument cover and making the connection between the circuit box and the instrument cover more stable.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the circuit box is formed by splicing together multiple sub-boxes, or the circuit box includes a housing body and a cover plate, the housing body having a first receiving cavity for accommodating a circuit board, and the cover plate closing or opening the first receiving cavity.

[0014] The instrument structure includes a circuit box and an instrument cover. The circuit box includes a housing body, a base plate, and a circuit board. The housing body has a first receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit board. The base plate is detachably mounted on the housing body and can close or open the first receiving cavity, thereby allowing the circuit box to protect the circuit board through the cooperating housing body and base plate. In some possible embodiments, the cover plate is the base plate, and the base plate closes or opens the first receiving cavity.

[0015] The instrument cover has a second receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit box. When the circuit box is placed in the second receiving cavity, the instrument cover is detachably connected to the base plate.

[0016] The instrument cover has a second receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit box. At least a portion of the instrument cover is located on the side of the housing body away from the base plate. The instrument cover is detachably connected to the base plate to provide a certain degree of protection for the circuit box. Furthermore, when the instrument cover is removed from the surface of the housing body away from the base plate, the housing body and the base plate in the circuit box can form a closed first receiving cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the circuit board.

[0017] The circuit box and instrument cover are connected together, which improves the modularity of the instrument structure and simplifies the assembly process.

[0018] In some possible implementations, the instrument cover includes a connected cover plate and an extension;

[0019] When the instrument cover is connected to the base plate, the cover plate faces the surface of the outer casing away from the base plate, and the extension is arranged around the periphery of the outer casing.

[0020] With this configuration, when the instrument cover is connected to the base plate, the cover plate faces the surface of the outer casing away from the base plate, and the extension can be arranged around the outer perimeter of the outer casing. This allows the extension to play a certain limiting role on the outer casing, reducing the possibility of the outer casing shifting.

[0021] In some possible implementations, the cover plate may be movable in a direction toward or away from the housing body, and the inner surface of the extension may slide in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the housing body.

[0022] With this configuration, when connecting the instrument cover to the base plate, the instrument cover can be moved from the side of the outer shell away from the base plate toward the base plate, so that the extension is fitted onto the outer shell, the inner surface of the extension slides into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the outer shell, and the end of the extension away from the cover plate gradually approaches the base plate. Then the extension can be fixedly connected to the base plate, thereby connecting the instrument cover to the base plate.

[0023] The inner surface of the extension makes sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the main body of the housing. The extension can guide the sliding contact process between the instrument cover and the main body of the housing, making the connection process between the instrument cover and the main body of the housing more stable and the process of the main body of the housing entering the receiving groove more smoothly.

[0024] In some possible implementations, the extension is provided with a first guide portion, the extension direction of which is perpendicular to the cover plate;

[0025] The outer shell body is provided with a second guide portion, and the first guide portion is adapted to the second guide portion; when the cover plate is close to or away from the outer shell body, the first guide portion and the second guide portion slide in contact.

[0026] With this configuration, the first guide portion and the second guide portion are adapted to each other. When the cover plate approaches or moves away from the main body of the outer casing, the first guide portion and the second guide portion slide into contact, thereby making the sliding process of the instrument cover more stable through the cooperation of the first guide portion and the second guide portion.

[0027] In some possible implementations, the extension is provided with at least one locking member, through which the extension is fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0028] With this configuration, the extension can be fixedly connected to the base plate via locking components, thereby making the connection between the extension and the base plate more stable and reducing the possibility of the instrument cover detaching from the base plate.

[0029] In some possible implementations, in a direction perpendicular to the base plate, the orthographic projection of the outer casing body onto the plane of the base plate is located inside the base plate;

[0030] The first part of the base plate extends out of the outer peripheral surface of the housing body, and the first part of the base plate is detachably connected to the instrument cover.

[0031] With this configuration, when the instrument cover is connected to the base plate, the first part of the instrument cover and the base plate can be fixed, so that at least part of the instrument cover is located on the outer peripheral surface of the main body of the housing through the first part of the base plate, so that the instrument cover can play a certain limiting and positioning role on the main body of the housing.

[0032] Furthermore, by fixing the instrument cover to the first part of the base plate, the instrument cover will not extend into the first receiving cavity. When it is necessary to remove the instrument cover from the base plate, the outer shell and the base plate can form a closed first receiving cavity. The removal of the instrument cover will not affect the airtightness of the first receiving cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the circuit board inside the first receiving cavity.

[0033] In some possible implementations, a seal is provided within the first receiving cavity, and at least a portion of the seal fills the space between the outer casing and the base plate.

[0034] With this configuration, the seal can be used to fix the circuit board located in the first receiving cavity, making the connection between the circuit board and the housing body more stable, and can also play a role in heat conduction through the seal, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board.

[0035] And / or, at least a portion of the seal may also be filled between the housing body and the base plate to make the connection between the housing body and the base plate more stable.

[0036] In some possible implementations, the circuit box has a display panel, the light-emitting side of which is away from the base plate;

[0037] The instrument cover is provided with a light-transmitting part; when the instrument cover is connected to the base plate, the light-transmitting part is arranged opposite to the display panel.

[0038] With this configuration, the instrument cover has a light-transmitting part. When the instrument cover is connected to the base plate, the light-transmitting part is positioned opposite to the display panel, so that the display panel can emit light through the light-transmitting part of the instrument cover to display parameters such as the battery level, speed and current status of the mobility scooter to the user.

[0039] In some possible implementations, a forehead mount is included, the forehead mount being provided with a mounting slot;

[0040] At least a portion of the circuit box is disposed within the mounting slot, the instrument cover is detachably connected to the front mount, and the instrument cover can close or open the mounting slot.

[0041] With this design, the instrument cover and the front mount can be detachably connected. The instrument cover can close or open the mounting slot, thus providing some protection for the circuit box at the mounting slot and reducing the possibility of the circuit box being damaged by contact with rainwater or other debris or by collision.

[0042] In some possible implementations, the instrument cover is provided with a connector that passes through the front seat and is threadedly connected to the instrument cover;

[0043] And / or, the instrument cover is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, and the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​groove are snap-fitted together.

[0044] With this configuration, the instrument cover can be equipped with a connector. The connector can pass through the front mount and be threaded onto the instrument cover, allowing the instrument cover to be secured to the front mount via the connector, thus making the connection between the instrument cover and the front mount more stable.

[0045] And / or, the instrument cover may be provided with a snap-fit ​​part, and the inner wall of the mounting slot may be provided with a snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​groove engage to make the connection between the instrument cover and the front mount more convenient.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the instrument cover includes a cover plate and an extension, the extension being provided with an overlap portion that is circumferentially disposed around the edge of the extension;

[0047] The forehead seat is provided with an overlapping surface, which is arranged around the periphery of the mounting groove;

[0048] When the instrument cover is connected to the front seat, the extension is located in the mounting groove, the cover plate closes the opening of the mounting groove, and the overlapping part abuts against the overlapping surface.

[0049] With this configuration, when the instrument cover is connected to the front seat, the extension is located within the mounting groove, and the cover plate closes the opening of the mounting groove. The overlapping part can abut against the overlapping surface, thereby reducing the gap between the instrument cover and the front seat through the mating overlapping part and overlapping surface, thus reducing the possibility of rainwater and other debris entering the mounting groove from between the overlapping part and overlapping surface.

[0050] In some possible implementations, the front mount extends along a first direction within the plane of the mounting slot opening;

[0051] The instrument cover is provided with a light-transmitting part. In the first direction, the length of the light-transmitting part is less than the length of the instrument cover, and the end of the light-transmitting part is close to the forehead seat.

[0052] This design, by making the length of the light-transmitting part less than the length of the instrument cover, makes the light-emitting range of the display panel smaller than the area of ​​the instrument cover. Furthermore, by placing the light-transmitting part near the end of the forehead mount, it reduces the possibility of interference between the display panel and structures such as the phone holder, and also reduces the possibility of the phone holder obstructing the display panel and the light-transmitting part.

[0053] This application provides a handlebar assembly, including a handlebar and an instrument structure of the handlebar as described in any of the above claims, wherein the handlebar is connected to the overhead mount.

[0054] Since the handlebar assembly includes any of the aforementioned instrument structures, the advantages of this handlebar assembly including any of the aforementioned instrument structures can be found in the relevant descriptions above, and will not be repeated here.

[0073] 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

[0074] As described in the background section, the handlebar assembly includes an instrument cluster, which includes an instrument cover, a circuit board assembly, a top mount, etc.

[0075] Existing instrument cover and circuit board assembly are usually non-removable structures. During the use of the vehicle, the instrument cover is prone to scratches. Replacing the instrument cover requires replacing the entire instrument structure, resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0076] Forcibly replacing only the instrument cover will damage the sealing structure between the instrument cover and the circuit board assembly, affecting the sealing effect between the instrument cover and the circuit board assembly. Moreover, the circuit board will be directly exposed to the environment during the repair process, making it prone to damage.

[0077] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide an instrument panel structure, a handlebar assembly, and a personal mobility vehicle. The instrument panel structure includes a circuit box, an instrument cover, and a top mount. The circuit box includes a housing body, a base plate, and a circuit board. The housing body has a first receiving cavity for accommodating the circuit board and an opening communicating with the first receiving cavity, allowing the circuit board to be installed within the cavity through the opening. The base plate is detachably mounted to the housing body and can close or open the opening, thus enabling the circuit box to protect the circuit board through the cooperating housing body and base plate.

[0078] At least a portion of the instrument cover is located on the side of the housing body away from the base plate. The instrument cover is detachably connected to the base plate to provide some protection for the circuit box. Furthermore, when the instrument cover is removed from the surface of the housing body away from the base plate, the housing body and the base plate in the circuit box can form a closed first receiving cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the circuit board.

[0079] When the instrument cover needs to be replaced, the instrument structure in this embodiment only requires replacing the instrument cover when it is removed from the front mount. The circuit box will not be affected, thereby reducing maintenance costs and ensuring the sealing effect of the circuit box, reducing the risk of the circuit board being exposed to the environment.

[0080] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0081] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The instrument structure of the handlebar provided in this application embodiment includes: a circuit box 100, an instrument cover 200, and a front mount 300.

[0083] A circuit board is installed inside the circuit box 100. The circuit box 100 is located between the front seat 300 and the instrument cover 200, and the instrument cover 200 is located on the outside of the circuit box 100 to form the appearance surface and display surface of the instrument structure, while also protecting the circuit box.

[0084] The circuit box 100 and the instrument cover 200 are separate units. They can be detachably connected, or they can be in contact or spaced apart but not connected.

[0085] When the two are not connected, the circuit box can be fixed in other ways, such as by connecting it to the front bracket in a detachable manner.

[0086] The instrument cover 200 and the front mount 300 are detachably connected, allowing for individual replacement of the instrument cover and saving maintenance costs.

[0087] The circuit box 100 can be formed by splicing multiple sub-boxes, or the circuit box 100 can include a housing body 110, a cover plate and a circuit board (not shown in the figure).

[0088] The outer casing 110 may be provided with a first receiving cavity (not shown in the figure) for accommodating the circuit board. The outer casing 110 is provided with an opening that communicates with the first receiving cavity, so that the circuit board can be placed into or removed from the first receiving cavity through the opening.

[0089] For example, the cover plate can be configured as a base plate 120, which is detachably disposed on the housing body 110. The base plate 120 can close or open the opening, thereby enabling the first receiving cavity to be closed through the base plate 120, so as to improve the protection effect on the circuit board through the connected housing body 110 and base plate 120 and reduce the possibility of damage to the circuit board.

[0090] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some possible implementations, at least a portion of the instrument cover 200 is located on the side of the housing body 110 away from the base plate 120, and the instrument cover 200 is detachably connected to the base plate 120, thereby further reducing the possibility of the circuit board being bumped or damaged by providing the instrument cover 200.

[0091] By adopting the above technical solution, the circuit board can be placed in the first receiving cavity of the housing body 110, and then the base plate 120 is connected to the housing body 110, thereby realizing the assembly process of the circuit box 100. Then the instrument cover 200 is connected to the base plate 120, the instrument cover and the circuit box are assembled together, and then the assembly is connected to the front bracket 300, thereby realizing the installation process of the instrument structure.

[0092] In some possible implementations, the instrument cover 200 has a display area, the plane of which is a first plane 20.

[0093] The projection of the instrument cover 200 onto the first plane 20 is the first projection, and the projection of the circuit box 100 onto the first plane 20 is the second projection. The first projection at least partially covers the second projection, so that at least part of the circuit box 100 is located inside the instrument cover 200, thereby making the instrument cover more protective and the connection between the circuit box and the instrument cover more stable.

[0094] In some possible implementations, the overall shape of the circuit box 100 can be set as a cuboid, so that the outer peripheral surface of the circuit box 100 can play a certain guiding role, making the assembly process between the circuit box 100 and the instrument cover 200 more convenient, and reducing the possibility of the circuit box 100 being installed backwards.

[0095] A seal may be provided inside the first receiving cavity. The seal can be used to fix the circuit board located inside the first receiving cavity, making the connection between the circuit board and the housing body 110 more stable.

[0096] And / or, at least a portion of the seal may also be filled between the housing body 110 and the base plate 120 to make the connection between the housing body 110 and the base plate 120 more stable.

[0097] For example, the base plate 120 can be fixed to the circuit board by means of snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, so that the base plate 120 can be used to close the opening of the housing body 110.

[0098] The opening of the outer casing 110 can face downwards, and the base plate 120 can abut against the bottom surface of the outer casing 110 to close the downward-facing opening. When the circuit box 100 is placed in the mounting groove 310, the base plate 120 can face the bottom surface of the mounting groove 310, with the opening facing downwards and towards the bottom surface of the mounting groove 310, thereby reducing the possibility of rainwater and other debris approaching the opening.

[0099] Along the direction perpendicular to the base plate 120, the orthographic projection of the outer edge of the outer shell body 110 in the plane of the base plate 120 can be located outside the base plate 120. At least a portion of the base plate 120 can be disposed outside the outer shell body 110, thereby enabling the instrument cover 200 to be connected through the portion of the base plate 120 disposed outside the outer shell body 110, making the connection between the instrument cover 200 and the base plate 120 more convenient.

[0100] In other words, the base plate 120 may include a first part and a second part connected together, and the first part of the base plate 120 may be arranged around the periphery of the second part of the base plate 120. When the base plate 120 is installed at the bottom end of the housing body 110, the second part of the base plate 120 is opposite to and abuts against the housing body 110, and the first part of the base plate 120 is arranged around the periphery of the base plate 120.

[0101] When the instrument cover 200 is connected to the base plate 120, the instrument cover 200 can be fixed to the first part of the base plate 120, so that at least part of the instrument cover 200 is located on the outer peripheral surface of the housing body 110 through the first part of the base plate 120, so that the instrument cover 200 can play a certain limiting and positioning role on the housing body 110.

[0102] Furthermore, by fixing the instrument cover 200 to the first part of the base plate 120, the instrument cover 200 will not extend into the first receiving cavity. When it is necessary to remove the instrument cover 200 from the base plate 120, the outer shell body 110 and the base plate 120 can form a closed first receiving cavity. The removal of the instrument cover 200 will not affect the airtightness of the first receiving cavity, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the circuit board inside the first receiving cavity.

[0103] For example, the circuit box 100 may have a display panel that is electrically connected to a circuit board located in the first receiving cavity to drive and control the display panel to emit light via the circuit board.

[0104] The light-emitting side of the display panel can be far away from the base plate 120, and the display panel can emit light through the instrument cover 200, so that the display panel can display parameters such as the battery level, speed and current status of the mobility scooter to the user.

[0105] Reference Figures 2-4 In some possible implementations, the instrument cover 200 may be provided with a second receiving cavity (not shown in the figure) for accommodating the circuit box 100. When the circuit box 100 is placed in the second receiving cavity, the instrument cover 200 is detachably connected to the base plate 120.

[0106] The instrument structure also includes a front mount 300, which can be used to mount the instrument cover 200 so that the circuit box 100 can be mounted on the front mount 300 via the instrument cover 200.

[0107] The instrument cover 200 may include a top plate 210 and an extension 220 connected to each other. The extension 220 may be arranged around the periphery of the top plate 210, and one end of the extension 220 away from the top plate 210 may extend away from the top plate 210.

[0108] For example, when the instrument cover 200 is connected to the base plate 120, the top plate 210 faces the surface of the outer casing 110 away from the base plate 120, and the extension 220 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the outer casing 110, so that the extension 220 can play a certain limiting role on the outer casing 110, reducing the possibility of the outer casing 110 shifting.

[0109] It is easy to understand that the connected top plate 210 and extension 220 can form a receiving groove for accommodating the outer shell body 110. The surface of the top plate 210 can be used to form the bottom of the receiving groove, and the extension 220 can be used to form the side wall of the receiving groove, so that the outer shell body 110 can be disposed in the receiving groove. The outer peripheral surface of the outer shell body 110 abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove, and the surface of the outer shell body 110 facing away from the opening faces the top plate 210.

[0110] When the instrument cover 200 is fixed to the circuit box 100, the outer shell body 110 can be placed in the receiving groove. The extension 220 provides a certain degree of protection to the outer peripheral surface of the outer shell body 110, so that the instrument cover 200 can cover the outer side of the outer shell body 110, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the outer shell body 110 and reducing the possibility of damage to the circuit board in the first receiving cavity.

[0111] Reference Figures 2-4In some possible implementations, the top plate 210 may move in a direction close to or away from the housing body 110, and the inner surface of the extension 220 may slide in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the housing body 110.

[0112] For example, when connecting the instrument cover 200 to the base plate 120, the instrument cover 200 can be moved from the side of the outer shell 110 away from the base plate 120 toward the base plate 120, so that the extension 220 is sleeved on the outer shell 110, the inner surface of the extension 220 slides in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the outer shell 110, and the end of the extension 220 away from the top plate 210 gradually approaches the base plate 120. Then the extension 220 can be fixedly connected to the base plate 120, thereby connecting the instrument cover 200 to the base plate 120.

[0113] The inner surface of the extension 220 slides in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the housing body 110. The extension 220 can play a certain guiding role in the sliding contact process between the instrument cover 200 and the housing body 110, making the connection process between the instrument cover 200 and the housing body 110 more stable and the process of the housing body 110 entering the receiving groove more smoothly.

[0114] For example, the extension 220 may be provided with a first guide portion 221, the extension direction of the first guide portion 221 may be perpendicular to the top plate 210, and the first guide portion 221 may be used to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the housing body 110.

[0115] Correspondingly, the outer shell body 110 may be provided with a second guide portion 111, which may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer shell body 110.

[0116] The first guide portion 221 is adapted to the second guide portion 111. When the top plate 210 approaches or moves away from the outer shell body 110, the first guide portion 221 and the second guide portion 111 slide into contact, thereby making the sliding process of the instrument cover 200 more stable through the cooperating first guide portion 221 and the second guide portion 111.

[0117] The first guide portion 221 can be configured as a guide protrusion, which can be disposed on the inner surface of the extension 220. The first end of the guide protrusion is close to the top plate 210, and the second end of the guide protrusion is away from the top plate 210.

[0118] The second guide part 111 can be configured as a guide groove. The guide groove can be recessed relative to the outer surface of the housing body 110. The guide groove can be used to accommodate the guide protrusion, thereby making the sliding contact process between the instrument cover 200 and the housing body 110 more stable through the matching guide protrusion and guide groove.

[0119] For example, the second end of the guide protrusion can be reused to connect with the base plate 120, so that the instrument cover 200 can be fixed to the base plate 120 through the guide protrusion, thereby enriching the function of the guide protrusion and reducing the number of structures required for the instrument cover 200, making the structure of the instrument cover 200 simpler.

[0120] Reference Figures 2-4 In some possible implementations, the extension 220 may be provided with at least one locking member, and the extension 220 may be fixedly connected to the base plate 120 by the locking member.

[0121] The locking element can be a locking bolt, which can pass through the base plate 120 and be threaded to the instrument cover 200, thereby enabling the extension 220 and the base plate 120 to be fixedly connected by the locking element.

[0122] For example, the first guide portion 221 is configured as a guide protrusion, with the second end of the guide protrusion close to the base plate 120. A locking bolt can pass through the base plate 120 and be threadedly connected to the guide protrusion, so that the connection between the instrument cover 200 and the base plate 120 is more stable through the mating locking bolt and the guide protrusion.

[0123] The number of locking bolts can be adjusted according to the number of first guide parts 221. For example, the locking bolts can be set one-to-one with the first guide parts 221, so that each locking bolt can pass through the base plate 120 and be threadedly connected to the corresponding first guide part 221, so that the guide protrusion and the base plate 120 can be fixedly connected through the first guide part 221.

[0124] Reference Figures 1-4 In some possible implementations, the circuit box 100 has a display panel. The instrument cover 200 is provided with a light-transmitting part 250. When the instrument cover 200 is connected to the base plate 120, the light-transmitting part 250 is positioned opposite to the display panel, so that the display panel can emit light through the light-transmitting part 250 of the instrument cover 200 to display parameters such as the battery level, speed and current status of the mobility scooter to the user.

[0125] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some possible implementations, the front mount 300 may be provided with a mounting slot 310, which can be used to accommodate at least a portion of the circuit box 100 of the instrument structure.

[0126] For example, at least a portion of the circuit box 100 may be disposed within the mounting groove 310 to provide a certain degree of protection for the circuit box 100 through the mounting groove 310.

[0127] The instrument cover 200 is detachably connected to the front mount 300. The instrument cover 200 can close or open the mounting slot 310, thereby providing a certain degree of protection for the circuit box 100 in the mounting slot 310 and reducing the possibility of the circuit box 100 being damaged by contact with rainwater or other debris or by collision.

[0128] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some possible implementations, the instrument cover 200 may be provided with a connector 230. The connector 230 may pass through the front seat 300 and be threadedly connected to the instrument cover 200, so that the instrument cover 200 can be fixed to the front seat 300 by the connector 230, thereby making the connection between the instrument cover 200 and the front seat 300 more stable.

[0129] And / or, the instrument cover 200 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​part 240, and the inner wall of the mounting groove 310 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 330. The snap-fit ​​part 240 and the snap-fit ​​groove 330 engage with each other, making the connection between the instrument cover 200 and the front seat 300 more convenient.

[0130] It is easy to understand that the instrument cover 200 may be provided with one of the connector 230 and the snap-fit ​​part 240. Alternatively, the instrument cover 200 may be provided with both the connector 230 and the snap-fit ​​part 240 to make the connection between the instrument cover 200 and the front seat 300 more stable.

[0131] For example, the instrument cover 200 may be provided with two connectors 230 and a snap-fit ​​part 240. The two connectors 230 may be respectively provided on both sides of the instrument cover 200 and may be respectively inserted through both sides of the front seat 300, so that the connection between the instrument cover 200 and the front seat 300 is more stable.

[0132] The snap-fit ​​part 240 can be provided at the end of the instrument cover 200. The snap-fit ​​part 240 can be snapped and fixed to the inner wall of the front seat 300 near the user, so that the two connectors 230 and the snap-fit ​​part 240 can be fixed to different positions of the front seat 300, further improving the stability of the connection between the instrument cover 200 and the front seat 300.

[0133] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some possible implementations, the instrument cover 200 includes a top plate 210 and an extension 220. The extension 220 is provided with an overlapping portion, which is arranged around the edge of the extension 220. The specific structure of the instrument cover 200 can be referred to above, and the embodiments of this application will not be repeated here.

[0134] The front seat 300 may be provided with an overlapping surface 320, which may be arranged around the periphery of the mounting groove 310. When the instrument cover 200 is connected to the front seat 300, the extension is located inside the mounting groove 310, and the top plate 210 closes the opening of the mounting groove 310.

[0135] The overlapping portion can abut against the overlapping surface 320, thereby reducing the gap between the instrument cover 200 and the front seat 300 through the mating overlapping portion and overlapping surface 320, so as to reduce the possibility of rainwater and other debris entering the mounting groove 310 from between the overlapping portion and overlapping surface 320.

[0136] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some possible implementations, the front seat 300 may extend along a first direction within the plane of the mounting groove 310 opening. The instrument cover 200 may be provided with a light-transmitting portion 250, the length of which is less than the length of the instrument cover 200 in the first direction, and the light-transmitting portion 250 is located near the end of the front seat 300.

[0137] It is easy to understand that the overhead mount 300 can be used as an instrument structure to display parameters such as the vehicle's battery level, speed, and current status to the user, and can also be used to install structures such as mobile phone holders, thus enriching the functionality of the overhead mount 300.

[0138] The first direction can be set to be closer to or farther from the user. The forehead mount 300 can be divided into multiple areas, and different areas can be used to set different structures. By making the length of the light-transmitting part 250 less than the length of the instrument cover 200, the light emission range of the display panel is smaller than the area of ​​the instrument cover 200. Furthermore, the light-transmitting part 250 is close to the end of the forehead mount 300, thereby reducing the possibility of interference between the display panel and structures such as the mobile phone holder, and reducing the possibility of the mobile phone holder blocking the display panel and the light-transmitting part 250.

[0139] This application provides a handlebar assembly, which includes a handlebar 400 and an instrument structure as described in any of the above embodiments. The handlebar 400 is connected to the overhead mount 300.

[0140] Since the handlebar assembly includes the instrument structure of any of the above embodiments, the advantages of this handlebar assembly including the instrument structure of any of the above embodiments can be found in the relevant description above, and will not be repeated here.

[0141] In summary, when installing the instrument structure onto the top mount 300 of the handlebar assembly, the circuit box 100 can be placed in the mounting slot 310 of the top mount 300, and then the instrument cover 200 can be connected to the base plate 120 and placed over the opening of the mounting slot 310 to close the mounting slot 310, thereby completing the installation process of the instrument structure.

[0142] When the instrument structure needs to be inspected or adjusted, for example when the instrument cover 200 is replaced, the instrument cover 200 can be removed from the front seat 300 and other structures, so that the instrument cover 200 can be removed from the surface of the outer shell 110 of the circuit box 100 away from the bottom plate 120. The instrument cover 200 is separated from the front seat 300, and the circuit box 100 located in the mounting groove 310 can be exposed through the groove opening of the mounting groove 310. The outer shell 110 and the bottom plate 120 in the circuit box 100 form a closed first receiving cavity, so that the circuit board is not directly exposed through the groove opening of the mounting groove 310, thereby realizing the disassembly and replacement of the instrument cover 200.

[0143] When the circuit board is inspected and replaced, the circuit box 100 can be removed from the mounting slot 310, and then the base plate 120 can be removed from the outer shell 110 so that the opening can open the first receiving cavity, thereby allowing the circuit board to be removed from the first receiving cavity, so as to realize the inspection and replacement process of the circuit board.
