Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a motorcycle accessory, specifically an exposed USB structure, and belongs to the technical field of motorcycle accessory technology. Background Technology

[0002] As motorcycles continue to expand their function as commuting tools and recreational riding vehicles, users' demand for power supply for onboard electronic devices is becoming increasingly urgent. During daily riding, electronic devices such as mobile phone navigation, action camera recording, and Bluetooth communication devices need continuous power supply. However, traditional motorcycles are only equipped with battery power supply interfaces, which cannot directly adapt to the USB charging protocols of mainstream electronic devices. Therefore, USB interfaces have gradually become a standard configuration or commonly used modification component for motorcycles.

[0003] However, most existing USB structures have various problems. For example, in the dual USB interface charging dock disclosed in announcement number CN211377648U, although it uses a suction cup to attach the charging dock to a smooth wall or a magnet to attach it to a ferromagnetic surface, making it easier to adjust the position of the charging dock and making it more convenient to use, in this technical solution and most current technical solutions, from the perspective of installation location, in order to facilitate users to plug and unplug the charging cable at any time, the existing motorcycle USB structure mostly adopts an exposed design. Common installation locations include the side of the handlebar control panel, the side of the instrument panel, and the area near the fuel tank, which are easy to operate. The core advantage of this design is the ease of operation. Users can connect and disconnect the charging cable without disassembling the motorcycle parts, which meets the usage scenario requirements of "quick operation and instant power supply" during motorcycle riding. In related technologies, the design of existing structures focuses on power supply stability and ease of installation, but does not adequately consider the complex environment during motorcycle riding, such as splashing rainwater, high-pressure water flow during car washes, and the corrosive effects of road dust and moisture. They lack waterproofing enhancements for harsh outdoor environments. When riding in the rain, rainwater can directly intrude into the internal circuitry through the gaps in the USB connector. On one hand, rainwater can cause short circuits in the metal contacts of the USB female connector, resulting in power interruption and inability to charge electronic devices. On the other hand, if rainwater seeps into wire connections or the power supply module, it may cause circuit burnout or even damage the entire motorcycle's electrical system, posing a significant safety hazard.
