[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dashboard technology, and in particular to a dashboard for an electric bicycle with a folding structure. Background Technology

[0002] An instrument panel is a collection of devices used to display, monitor, and control various parameters or states. It typically consists of a series of indicators, dials, digital displays, and necessary control buttons or knobs, visually presenting the operating status of a machine, system, or process in graphical, numerical, or symbolic form. It is widely used in automobiles, electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and many other fields.

[0003] There are many types of dashboards on electric bicycles, most of which are square. For these dashboards, the display area is relatively large, and the current installation is fixed and the angle cannot be adjusted. When the bicycle is parked, there is no protection for the dashboard display, so dust accumulates, especially after long-term parking. The display is also easily scratched, affecting its use. Summary of the Invention

A slot is provided on the dashboard away from the rotatable connection position. A connecting strip is rotatably fixed to the slot by a torsion spring. Under the action of the torsion spring, the connecting strip is parallel to the dashboard. A protective panel is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting strip and is perpendicular to the connecting strip. An adjustment component for deflecting the dashboard is installed inside the mounting frame.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the mounting frame is provided with a through hole for the instrument panel connection wires to pass through.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a corrugated flexible tube is fixed between the top of the wire hole and the cable outlet of the instrument panel, and a corrugated flexible tube is provided to connect the wire hole and the cable outlet at the bottom of the instrument panel to achieve a waterproof effect.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the mounting frame is fixed with a fixing lug at one end of the instrument panel rotatable connection, and the fixing lug is provided with a mounting hole.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a limiting frame is fixed to the bottom edge of the mounting frame.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting component includes two arc-shaped rods fixed to the bottom of the instrument panel, with the arc-shaped rods positioned away from the fixing ears. A common mounting rod is fixed between the two arc-shaped rods. Two first U-shaped frames are fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame. An electric telescopic rod is rotatably mounted inside the first U-shaped frame. A second U-shaped frame is fixed on the mounting rod at a position corresponding to the electric telescopic rod. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second U-shaped frame.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the mounting frame is provided with a hole for the arc-shaped rod to pass through, the arc-shaped rod having the rotation connection point of the instrument panel as its center.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model features a mounting frame, dashboard, mounting ears, slots, connecting strips, a protective panel, and adjustment components. During installation, the mounting frame is placed at the electric vehicle's mounting position, and the mounting frame and limiting frame are inserted into the mounting opening. Screws are then removed and passed through the mounting ears to secure the components. Two electric telescopic rods are connected to the same control circuit. By controlling the operation of the electric telescopic rods, the curved rods can be deflected. Since the dashboard is fixed to the top of the curved rod, adjustment of the dashboard is possible. When the electric telescopic rod is pushed forward, the dashboard deflects and unfolds, making it easier for the rider to observe. When not in use, the electric telescopic rod retracts, folding the dashboard close to the mounting frame. During this process, the connecting strips on the dashboard, fixed by torsion springs, contact the inner wall of the mounting frame, creating pressure that causes the connecting strips to deflect counterclockwise. This causes the protective panel to deflect 90 degrees counterclockwise, covering the surface of the dashboard and providing folding protection. Attached Figure Description

[0025] In this embodiment, a fixing ear 3 is fixed to one end of the outer wall of the mounting frame 1 at the rotatable connection of the instrument panel 2, and a mounting hole is provided on the fixing ear 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, a limiting frame 12 is fixed to the bottom edge of the mounting frame 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the adjusting component includes two arc-shaped rods 9 fixed to the bottom of the instrument panel 2, and the arc-shaped rods 9 are located away from the fixed ears 3. The same mounting rod 11 is fixed between the two arc-shaped rods 9. Two first U-shaped frames 13 are fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 1. An electric telescopic rod 10 is rotatably arranged inside the first U-shaped frame 13. A second U-shaped frame 14 is fixed on the mounting rod 11 at the position corresponding to the electric telescopic rod 10. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second U-shaped frame 14.

[0028] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 1 has a hole for the arc-shaped rod 9 to pass through, with the arc-shaped rod 9 centered on the rotation connection point of the instrument panel 2.

[0029] Working principle: The system comprises a mounting frame 1, instrument panel 2, fixing ears 3, slot 4, connecting strip 5, protective panel 6, and adjusting components.
