[0024] The protective cover 3 and the sun visor 4 are pivotally mounted coaxially and one above the other on the support 1 and can rotate and move individually or independently of each other. In the present embodiment, the protective cover 3 and the sun visor 4 are pivotally mounted coaxially on both sides of the eaves 14. To ensure that the positions of the protective cover 3 and the sun visor 4 can be temporarily fixed after rotation and alignment, an angular positioning structure is provided at the pivotal connection points of the protective cover 3, the sun visor 4, and the support 1. The angular positioning structure is provided with a set of first annular teeth 17 and a set of second annular teeth 18 on the two side walls of the support 1 parallel to the through hole 11. The first annular teeth 17 and the second annular teeth 18 are arranged in concentric circles.The first annular teeth 17 are located on the outer circle, and the distribution angle of each tooth is smaller than the distribution angle of each tooth of the second annular teeth 18. For example, the first annular teeth 17 can be set to an angle of 10 degrees each time, and the second annular teeth 18 can be set to an angle of 15 degrees each time. The side wall of the carrier 1 has holes in the center of the first annular teeth 17 and the second annular teeth 18, and the holes are used for pivotal connection.

[0025] The protective cover 3 is made of a transparent material, and the light transmittance of the protective cover 3 is at least 80%, so that the user can still clearly see the objects under the protective cover 3 from outside the cover. The protective cover 3 is larger than the sun visor 4 and can be moved to the front area 12 of the carrier 1 by pivoting. The protective cover 3 can cover most of the front area 12 to prevent foreign objects from directly falling into the front area 12. The protective cover 3 has a support wall 31 arranged opposite each other on both sides. The aforementioned angular positioning structure is that each of the support walls 31 has a set of first coupling teeth 32 on the wall surface facing the carrier 1, and the other wall surface has an annular groove 33. A first spring 34 is arranged in the annular groove 33.The center position of the first coupling teeth 32 has an axle hole 36. As in . Fig. 6, during assembly, the support wall 31 is attached to the two side walls of the support 1, and first coupling teeth 32 engage with the first annular teeth 17. The first spring 34 is located in the annular groove 33, and the two ends are respectively pressed against the protective cover 3 and the sunshade 4. When the user applies a force greater than the elastic force of the first spring 34, the protective cover 3 is pivoted. After the external force disappears, the first coupling teeth 32 are engaged with the first annular teeth 17, so that the set angle between the protective cover 3 and the support 1 is fixed. The edge of the protective cover 3 facing the sunshade 4 has a convex eave 35, and the convex eave 35 serves to move the sunshade 4.

[0026] The sunshade 4 is made of an opaque material. The sunshade 4 is formed in an inverted U-shape, with two connecting walls 41 extending downward on both sides. The connecting wall 41 has an axle 42 on the wall surface facing the carrier 1, and the end surface of the axle 42 has a set of second coupling teeth 43. The other wall surface of the connecting wall 41 has an axial groove 44, and a second spring 45 is arranged in the axial groove 44. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the sun visor 4, in the assembled state, is attached to the support wall 31 of the protective cover 3 through the connecting wall 41, and a rivet 46 penetrates the connecting wall 41 and the eaves 14 of the support 1 to achieve a pivoting advantage, with the axle 42 extending into the axle hole 36, and the second coupling teeth 43 engaging the second annular teeth 18, and the second spring 45 is arranged on the periphery of the rivet 46 and pressing into the axial groove 44. When the user applies a force greater than the elastic force of the second spring 45, the sun visor 4 can be pivoted. After the external force disappears, the second coupling teeth 43 are engaged with the second annular teeth 18, so that the set angle between the sun visor 4 and the support 1 is fixed. As shown in Fig. 2, the sun visor 4 has a raised stop 47 near the edge of the wall of the protective cover 3. When the protective cover 3 is pivoted to a vertical position, the convex eave 35 can contact the stop 47 and slightly raise the sun visor 4 to prevent the sun visor 4 from hanging too low in the rear area 13 and impairing the air intake advantage of the fan 2.

[0027] The fan 2 is fixed with screws to the inside of the support 1 and faces the through-hole 11. The fan 2 is provided with a connecting cable 21 extending outwards to supply the energy required for the operation of the fan 2.

[0028] In the Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, various possible uses of the present invention are schematically illustrated. The sun visor structure of the present invention can be attached to a motorcycle in conjunction with a mounting device 6, wherein the motorcycle and the strut structure connecting the mounting device 6 and the carrier 1 are not shown in the figure. The mounting device 6 serves to clamp a mobile phone 7. In the use state, the mounting device 6 is located in the front region 12 of the carrier 1. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the protective cover 3 can be lifted to a horizontal position, and the sun visor 4 can be pivoted toward the rear portion 13. In this position, it is very convenient to remove or place a mobile phone. As shown in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, in an environment where sunlight is not strong, the protective cover 3 can be pivoted to completely cover the front area 12, so that the holder 6 and the mobile phone 7 are arranged in the space enclosed by the protective cover 3 and the support 1. Since the protective cover 3 is transparent, the content displayed by the mobile phone 7 under the cover can be clearly seen, and the protective cover 3 is used to prevent foreign matter from directly contacting or contaminating the mobile phone 7. In addition, the fan 2 is operated at this time to supply or feed air from the rear area 13 to the front area 12 to achieve the function of heat dissipation. As shown in Fig.As shown in Figure 9, when the sunlight is too strong, the sun visor 4 is pivoted and adjusted toward the front portion 12 to shade part of the light. Since the pivot connection has an angle positioning structure, the angle of the sun visor 4 can be precisely adjusted, so that the content displayed on the mobile phone 7 can be clearly seen even when the sun visor is attached. The sun visor structure of the present invention fulfills multiple functions such as sun visor, protection, and heat dissipation to meet the diverse needs of users.
