[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a handlebar plug structure for carrying tools, including a handlebar plug assembly 1, which is installed in a first receiving cavity 3 at one end of the handlebar 2; the handlebar plug assembly 1 includes a housing 101 and an end cap 102, the end cap 102 being detachably installed at a port 104 of the housing 101; the housing 101 has a second receiving cavity 103, which can hold a tool 4.

[0029] To facilitate the installation of the handlebar plug assembly 1 into the handlebar 2, a plurality of ribs 106 are evenly distributed on the outer wall 105 of the outer shell 101, and the ribs 106 are engaged with the inner wall 201 of the handlebar 2.

[0030] To facilitate the installation of the handlebar plug assembly 1 into the handlebar 2, one end of the rib 106 is provided with a bevel 108.

[0031] The rib 106 and the outer shell 101 are integrally injection molded.

[0032] To facilitate the removal of tool 4, a magnet 107 is provided on the end cap 102, which can be attracted to tool 4.

[0033] For ease of installation, the magnet 107 is bonded or plugged into the end cap 102.

[0034] Specifically, for ease of disassembly and assembly, the outer shell 101 and the end cap 102 are fixed by threaded installation. One end of the outer shell 101 is provided with an external thread 1010, and the inner wall of the end cap 102 is provided with an internal thread 1011 that mates with the external thread 1010.

[0035] To limit the connection between the housing 101 and the handlebar 2, a limiting protrusion 109 is provided at one end of the housing 101.

[0036] To prevent the tool 4 from moving or vibrating in the second receiving cavity 103, the outer shell 101 is provided with limiting horizontal bars 1012 on the upper and lower parts to restrict the tool 4; the tool 4 has planes 401 on the upper and lower parts, and the planes 401 cooperate with the limiting horizontal bars 1012.

[0037] To further prevent the tool 4 from moving or shaking in the second receiving cavity 103, the left and right sides of the tool 4 are arc-shaped 402, and the cross-section of the second receiving cavity 103 is circular, with the arc-shaped 402 corresponding to the second receiving cavity 103.

[0038] To accommodate any handlebar 2, the housing 101 is cylindrical.

[0039] In this embodiment, tool 4 can be a combination of two or three of the following: an internal hex wrench, a Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, an external hex wrench, a non-standard wrench, or a combination of two or three.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the length of tool 4 is approximately the same as the length of the second receiving cavity 103.

[0041] During installation, first assemble the handlebar plug assembly 1, place the tool 4 into the second receiving cavity 103 of the housing 101, and then screw the end cap 102 into the housing 101 for fixation. After assembling the handlebar plug assembly 1, insert the handlebar plug assembly 1 into the first receiving cavity 3 at one end of the handlebar 2. It is worth mentioning that the handlebar plug assembly 1 can also be installed at both ends of the handlebar 2 to achieve two different tool 4 placements.

[0042] When tool 4 needs to be removed, remove handlebar plug assembly 1 from the first receiving cavity 3 of handlebar 2. Then, loosen end cap 102 from housing 101. Under the action of magnet 107, end cap 102 can be removed from housing 101 together with tool 4, and then tool 4 can be used.

[0043] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
