Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a multi-purpose handlebar assembly for vehicles, which integrates braking operation and power-off deceleration control functions on a single handlebar. It is suitable for motorcycles, electric vehicles or other similar vehicles, and can improve driving safety and simplify driving operation procedures. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional vehicle control assemblies typically only provide a single braking operation. When needing to decelerate urgently or when power is cut off, drivers often need to operate different switches or controls separately, such as the brake lever, throttle cut-off switch, or other electronic control devices. This multi-step operation not only increases the driver's workload but also increases the risk of misoperation in emergency situations, leading to delayed braking response or power-off control failure, thus increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Especially at high speeds or on complex road conditions, drivers must simultaneously maintain balance and control, making it difficult for traditional designs to balance safety and ease of operation.

[0003] While some multi-functional handlebar assembly designs attempt to incorporate power-off deceleration, they often employ complex mechanical linkages or electronic control schemes, resulting in a bulky overall structure, numerous parts, and difficulties in installation and maintenance. Furthermore, operational delays or unstable triggering prevent the braking and power-off deceleration from working in perfect unison, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve safety, reliability, and intuitive operation. Therefore, a simplified, intuitive, and real-time braking and power-off deceleration multi-functional handlebar assembly design is still needed to meet the safety requirements of modern vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-purpose handlebar assembly for vehicles, which integrates braking operation and power-off deceleration functions. Through reasonable mechanical design and electronic control structure, it enables drivers to quickly and intuitively complete the operation when decelerating or braking in an emergency, thereby improving driving safety and reducing the difficulty of installation and maintenance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the multi-purpose handlebar assembly provided by this utility model includes a fixed base mounted on the front handlebar; a pivot member pivotally connected to the fixed base; a brake lever assembly pivotally connected to the fixed base via the pivot member, having a brake lever, a brake cable connection portion and a switch contact portion; a brake cable assembly having a brake pipe connected to the fixed base and a brake cable connected to the brake cable connection portion of the brake lever assembly; and a power-off switch located on the fixed base, which is subject to contact or non-contact with the switch contact portion of the brake lever assembly, ensuring no power is cut off when the brake lever assembly is not operated and power is cut off when the brake lever assembly is operated.

[0006] Through the pivotal configuration of the aforementioned fixed base, pivot member, and brake lever assembly, the brake lever assembly maintains a standby position during normal driving and can synchronously drive the brake cable assembly to perform braking operation when the driver pulls the lever. At the same time, because the switch contact part will contact or leave the power-off switch during the pulling process, the power can be automatically cut off at the moment of braking operation, so that the braking and power-off deceleration functions can be triggered in a coordinated manner with a single operation action, achieving the technical effects of simplified operation, improved safety, and real-time response of this utility model.

[0007] Preferably, the brake lever assembly includes a brake lever and a brake cable connector, with the brake cable connector located on the brake cable connector. By independently locating the brake cable connector on the brake cable connector, the fixation and force transmission of the brake cable are more stable, improving the sensitivity and reliability of the braking action.

[0008] Preferably, the switch contact portion of the brake lever assembly is located on the brake lever body. By directly mounting the switch contact portion on the brake lever body, the power-off switch trigger point is more accurate, the triggering delay caused by structural gaps is reduced, and the power-off response speed is improved.

[0009] Preferably, the brake cable connector of the brake lever assembly is located on the brake lever. By integrating the brake cable connector into the brake lever, the brake force transmission path can be simplified, the number of parts can be reduced, and the number of wear points can be decreased, making the overall structure more streamlined and durable.

[0010] Preferably, there are multiple brake cable assemblies, and the power-off switch is located between two of the brake cable assemblies. By configuring the power-off switch between multiple brake cable assemblies, any braking action can be detected simultaneously and power can be quickly triggered to cut off, thereby improving the coordinated safety effect of the multi-braking system.

[0011] Preferably, it further includes a parking control assembly pivotally connected to the brake lever assembly, keeping the brake lever assembly in the engaged state. Through the pivoting and locking design of the parking control assembly structure, the brake lever can be maintained in a continuously braking position, providing a reliable parking fixation function.

[0012] Preferably, it further includes a parking control assembly, which has a pivot portion and a latch portion. The pivot portion is pivotally connected to the parking pivot portion and pivot member of the brake lever, and the latch portion is engaged with the parking latch portion of the mounting bracket. Through the pivot configuration and latch point setting of the parking control assembly, the initiation and release of parking actions are made smoother, ensuring parking safety and operational convenience.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a turn signal assembly mounted on the mounting base. By directly mounting the turn signal assembly on the mounting base, the driver can operate the turn signals without changing the position of their hands, thus improving driving safety.

[0014] Preferably, the turn signal assembly has a lamp bracket connected to the mounting base and a lamp fixture connected to the lamp bracket. The modular design of the lamp bracket and lamp fixture makes the turn signal assembly easier to install, replace, and maintain, while also improving the stability of the signal light source.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a rearview mirror assembly mounted on the mounting base. By mounting the rearview mirror assembly on the mounting base, a stable line of sight can be provided, making the rear view clearer and less susceptible to vibration while driving.

[0016] Preferably, the rearview mirror assembly has a mounting rod connected to the mounting base and a mirror body connected to the mounting rod. The steering mechanism allows the rearview mirror to be adjusted according to driving needs, improving the convenience of field of vision adjustment and enhancing the driver's rearward observation range.
