Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of motorcycle instrument cover protection, specifically relating to a converter instrument cover that connects the instrument panel and the handlebar rear cover. Background Technology
[0002] In motorcycle design, the instrument panel is typically mounted at the front to display vehicle information, while the handlebar cover covers the rear of the handlebars for protection. In traditional models, the instrument panel housing usually emerges from the same mold as the handlebar cover, allowing for direct mounting using self-tapping screws. However, in modern models, the instrument panel and handlebar cover are often separate components with different mold directions, lacking an effective connection structure. This not only affects the overall aesthetics of the motorcycle but also risks loosening or damage due to vibration during use. Therefore, a connector instrument panel cover is needed to connect the instrument panel and handlebar cover, improving the stability and overall integrity of motorcycle components. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to design a transition instrument cover that connects the instrument panel and the handlebar rear cover. This is to address the issue mentioned in the background art where the instrument panel and handlebar rear cover of newly manufactured models have different molding directions, making direct assembly impossible. This not only affects the overall appearance of the vehicle but may also cause parts to loosen or be damaged due to vibration during use.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transition instrument cover connecting an instrument and a handlebar rear cover, comprising an instrument, a handlebar rear cover, and an instrument cover. The instrument cover is a rectangular box-shaped structure with an opening at the top. The instrument is installed inside the box of the instrument cover. The instrument cover is installed on the handlebar rear cover by self-tapping screws. The handlebar rear cover has a window in the middle for observing the instrument.
[0005] The instrument includes a screen and a main body. The screen is a rectangular plate structure, and its size matches the window size of the handle cover. The screen is larger than the main body. The main body has protruding mounting holes at the four bottom corners, which fit into the bottom of the instrument cover. The instrument is installed inside the instrument cover by fastening bolts. A pressure regulating valve is located on one side of the bottom surface of the main body, and a wiring socket is located at the bottom of the main body.
[0006] The instrument cover has stepped platforms around its interior, which are used to accommodate the instrument's screen and main body. The bottom four corners of the instrument cover have through holes that mate with mounting holes on the instrument. A countersunk hole is located at the opening of the through hole inside the instrument cover, which mates with a protrusion in the mounting hole. The instrument is secured to the instrument cover using bolts, washers, and spring washers. A circular groove mates with a pressure regulating valve on one side of the middle of the instrument cover, and a square hole mates with a wiring connector at the bottom of the instrument cover.
[0007] The inner wall of the instrument cover is provided with limiting protrusions that cooperate with the main body of the instrument. There are multiple limiting protrusions, which are respectively located at the midpoint of the inner walls on both sides, the midpoint of the upper inner wall, and the left and right ends of the lower inner wall.
[0008] The instrument cover has mounting ears on both its upper and lower edges. The instrument cover is fixed to the handlebar rear cover by the cooperation of the mounting ears and self-tapping screws.
[0009] The instrument cover is provided with drainage holes at the bottom to prevent water accumulation in the instrument cover and affecting the performance of the instrument. There are multiple drainage holes, which are respectively located at the lowest point of the bottom of the instrument cover box, including the two lower corners of the box, the middle of the lower part of the box, the lower part of the countersunk hole, and the lower part of the circular groove.
[0010] The handlebar rear cover has an observation window in the middle, the size of which matches the size of the instrument screen. Inside the handlebar rear cover, there are multiple limiting ribs around the observation window to limit the edge of the instrument cover. These limiting ribs are spaced apart around the observation window inside the handlebar rear cover.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: simple structure, no need to destroy the overall shape, can be adapted to instruments that are not in the same mold direction as the handlebar rear cover, has good water-proof function, and improves the stability and integrity of motorcycle parts.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-5An adapter instrument cover connecting an instrument to a handlebar rear cover includes an instrument 1, a handlebar rear cover 2, and an instrument cover 3. The instrument cover 3 is a rectangular box-shaped structure with an opening at the top. The instrument 1 is installed inside the box of the instrument cover 3. The instrument cover 3 is mounted on the handlebar rear cover 2 using self-tapping screws 7. The handlebar rear cover 2 has an observation window 20 in the middle for observing the instrument 1. The instrument 1 includes a screen part and a main body part. The screen part is a rectangular plate-shaped structure, and its size matches the size of the observation window 20 of the handlebar rear cover 2. The size of the screen part is larger than the size of the main body part. The four corners of the bottom of the main body part have protruding mounting holes 15, which mate with the bottom of the instrument cover 3. The instrument 1 is installed inside the instrument cover 3 using fastening bolts 6. A pressure regulating valve 16 is provided on one side of the middle of the bottom surface of the main body part, and a wiring socket 17 is provided at the bottom of the main body part. The instrument cover 3 has stepped platforms 14 around its interior, which are used to accommodate the screen and main body of the instrument 1. The instrument cover 3 has through holes 10 at its four bottom corners, which mate with mounting holes 15 on the instrument 1. A countersunk hole 11 is located at the opening of the through hole 10 inside the instrument cover 3, which mates with a protrusion in the mounting hole 15. The instrument 1 is fixed to the instrument cover 3 using fastening bolts 6, washers 4, and spring washers 5. A circular groove 12 mates with a pressure regulating valve 16 on one side of the middle of the instrument cover 3, and a square hole 19 mates with a wiring socket 17 at the bottom. Multiple limiting protrusions 13 mate with the main body of the instrument 1 on the inner wall of the instrument cover 3, located at the midpoints of the two inner walls, the midpoint of the upper inner wall, and the left and right ends of the lower inner wall. The instrument cover 3 has mounting ears 18 on both its upper and lower edges. These mounting ears 18, in conjunction with self-tapping screws 7, secure the instrument cover 3 to the handlebar rear cover 2. The bottom of the instrument cover 3 has drainage holes 9 to prevent water accumulation and ensure the performance of the instrument 1. Multiple drainage holes 9 are located at the lowest points of the instrument cover 3's bottom, including the two lower corners, the middle of the lower part of the cover, the lower part of the countersunk hole 11, and the lower part of the circular groove 12. The handlebar rear cover 2 has an observation window 20 in its center. The size of the observation window 20 matches the screen size of the instrument 1.
