It should be clearly understood that the operations of the flowcharts may not be implemented in sequence. Rather, the operations may be implemented in reverse order or simultaneously. Furthermore, one or more additional operations may be added to the flowcharts. One or more operations may be removed from the flowcharts.

[0035] In this specification, "X includes at least one of A, B, or C" means that X includes at least A, or X includes at least B, or X includes at least C. In other words, X may include only any one of A, B, and C, or any combination of A, B, and C, as well as other possible contents / elements. Any combination of A, B, and C may be A, B, C, AB, AC, BC, or ABC.

[0036] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the association relationship between structures can be a direct association relationship or an indirect association relationship. For example, when describing "A is connected to B", unless it is clearly stated that A is directly connected to B, it should be understood that A can be directly connected to B or indirectly connected to B; for another example, when describing "A is above B", unless it is clearly stated that A is directly above B (AB are adjacent and A is above B), it should be understood that A can be directly above B or indirectly above B (AB is separated by other elements and A is above B). And so on.

[0037] The cover provided in this specification can be installed on the vehicle riser of a vehicle, particularly a short-distance mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, tricycle, self-balancing scooter, bicycle, electric vehicle, etc. Figure 1 shows an oblique view of a vehicle 001 provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. Vehicle 001 can be a scooter, tricycle, self-balancing scooter, bicycle, electric vehicle, etc. Vehicle 001 can include a vehicle body. The vehicle body can include a vehicle riser 200 and the cover 400 provided in this specification.

[0038] For ease of understanding and description, unless otherwise specified, in the following description of this specification, the vehicle refers to a short-distance transportation vehicle.

[0039] The vehicle body can be the base and main structure of the vehicle. It can be used to connect various vehicle components and also to carry users. The cover plate 400 can cover the outer surface of the vehicle riser 200 and be connected to the vehicle riser 200.

[0040] The base of the vehicle body is generally designed to include a base structure 600 capable of supporting a user. The base structure 600 is generally provided with a standing area 610 for the user to stand on. As shown in FIG1 , the standing area 610 can be a completely smooth structure, that is, the surface of the standing area is flat. The standing area 610 can also include a rough structure. The rough structure can be formed by the surface of the standing area 610 itself, or the rough structure can be installed as a whole on the surface of the standing area. The function of the rough structure is to increase the friction between the user and the standing area 610, preventing the user from slipping. In some embodiments, the rough structure can be a criss-cross pattern of raised stripes formed on the surface of the standing area 610. In other embodiments, the rough structure can be a honeycomb support plate laid on the surface of the standing area 610, which can be removed from the vehicle body. In other embodiments, the rough structure can be an anti-slip film or anti-slip mat laid on the surface of the standing area 610.

[0041] The bottom of the base structure 600 is provided with wheels 620 for vehicle movement. The number and layout of the wheels 620 are not limited. For example, in the example shown in FIG1 , the base structure 600 is provided with three wheels 620, two of which are located at the front end of the base structure 600, and one wheel 620 is located at the rear end of the base structure 600. For another example, in some embodiments, the base structure 600 may be provided with four wheels 620, two at the front end and two at the rear end of the base structure 600.

[0042] The main structure of the vehicle body is the remainder of the vehicle body excluding the base structure 600. For example, the main structure may include the vehicle stem 200, the handlebar 800, and the like. The vehicle stem 200 generally serves as a connection between the handlebar 800 and the base structure 600, supporting and connecting the handlebar 800. The vehicle stem 200 also serves as a connector for other components. The vehicle stem 200 has multiple connection ports and various connectors. The embodiments herein utilize a cover plate 400 on the vehicle stem 200 to effectively conceal these ports and connectors, thereby enhancing the vehicle's aesthetics and safety.

[0043] Figure 2 shows an oblique view of a vehicle riser 200 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 shows a front view of a vehicle riser 200 according to an embodiment of the present application; and Figure 4 shows a top view of a vehicle riser 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the vehicle riser 200 can be cylindrical. The cross-sectional shape of the vehicle riser 200 can be any shape, such as circular, square with rounded corners, oval, etc. The vehicle riser 200 can be made of a metal material, such as carbon steel, aluminum alloy, aviation aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, etc. The outer surface of the vehicle riser 200 has an interface for a threaded connector.

[0044] The vehicle riser 200 is typically designed as a linear columnar structure, meaning that the riser 200 is formed by extending a certain cross-section in a straight line. Considering the overall structural design and practical application of the vehicle, the riser 200 may also be a curved columnar structure. For example, in some embodiments, a seat is provided on the standing area 610, allowing the user to sit on the base structure 600 to control the vehicle. To free up legroom, the portion of the riser 200 corresponding to the user's legs may be designed with a curved shape that protrudes from the inside out.

[0045] In addition, to accommodate the height requirements of different users, the height of the vehicle standpipe 200 can also be set according to actual needs. For example, the vehicle standpipe 200 can be designed as a retractable structure.

[0046] As shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the outer surface 220 of the vehicle riser 200 is provided with a first groove 240 . The first groove 240 may extend axially along the vehicle riser 200 . To ensure reliable installation of the cover plate 400 on the vehicle riser 200 , the number of first grooves 240 may be two or more. Figures 2 to 4 show two first grooves 240 . The first groove 240 may extend axially through the vehicle riser 200 , or may not extend axially through the vehicle riser 200 , or may extend through one end. The two first grooves 240 may be distributed circumferentially along the vehicle riser 200 . The first groove 240 divides the outer surface 220 of the vehicle riser 200 into a first outer surface 221 and a second outer surface 222 . In some embodiments, the first outer surface 221 and the second outer surface 222 form a smooth transition. That is, the first groove 240 divides a continuous outer surface into the first outer surface 221 and the second outer surface 222 . In some embodiments, the first outer surface 221 protrudes radially outward more than the second outer surface 222. The distance between the first outer surface 221 and the center of the vehicle riser 200 is greater than the distance between the second outer surface 222 and the center of the vehicle riser 200. In other words, the first outer surface 221 is higher and more prominent than the second outer surface 222. The threaded connection interface on the vehicle riser 200 can be provided on the first outer surface 221. In other words, the cover plate 400 can cover the first outer surface 221 of the vehicle riser 200. The first retaining groove 240 can include a first side surface 241 and a second side surface 242 disposed opposite each other. The first side surface 241 can be connected to the first outer surface 221 of the vehicle riser 200. The second side surface 242 can be connected to the second outer surface 222 of the vehicle riser 200.

[0047] In the above description, the first groove 240 is formed radially inward from the outer surface 220 of the vehicle riser 200, dividing the outer surface 220 into a first outer surface 221 and a second outer surface 222. It can be understood that, for the vehicle riser 200, a complete circuit around the first groove 240, the first outer surface 221, and the second outer surface 222 constitutes the cross-sectional profile of the vehicle riser 200. The first groove 240 extends axially along the vehicle riser 200, creating a simple and relatively stable connection structure. This facilitates assembly of the cover plate 400 and ensures a stable connection of the cover plate 400 to the vehicle riser 200. It should be noted that extending axially along the vehicle riser 200 does not necessarily mean that the first groove 240 must be a straight groove. In some embodiments, such as to accommodate the curved vehicle riser 200 described above, the first groove 240 may also be curved.

[0048] In the above description, the radially outward projection of the first outer surface 221 relative to the second outer surface 222 is generally a general description, meaning that the first outer surface 221 is more convex than the second outer surface 222. This convex design is based on space considerations. Taking the circular cross-section of the vehicle riser 200 as an example, it should be understood that the circular shape here does not necessarily refer to a perfect circle; a substantially circular shape also falls within this category. When a user stands in the standing area 610 or sits on the seat, the first outer surface 221 faces the user. To ensure that the structure and functions are closer to the user, more functional components or elements are generally positioned closer to the first outer surface 221. The larger radius of the first outer surface 221 effectively provides more assembly space for these components or elements.

[0049] In the above description, the function of the first slot 240 is to connect with the cover plate 400. It should be understood that all structural features of the first slot 240 that enable connection between the cover plate 400 and the vehicle riser 200 are contemplated within the contemplation of this specification. To simplify assembly and construction, the first side 241 and second side 242 of the first slot 240 are opposed planar surfaces, which may also be inclined or non-planar surfaces. Figures 2 to 4 illustrate the first side 241 and second side 242 as opposed planar surfaces. After the cover plate 400 is mounted on the vehicle riser 200, the cover plate 400 is clamped between the first side 241 and second side 2421.

[0050] It should be noted that, in addition to the first slot 240, other structures may be provided on the stem 200 to facilitate assembly of the cover plate 400, such as a magnetic attraction structure, a concave-convex structure, or a snap-fit ​​structure. A magnetic attraction structure may comprise a magnetic member on both the stem 200 and the cover plate 400; a concave-convex structure may comprise a protrusion on one of the stem 200 and a groove on the other, with the protrusion inserting into the groove for assembly; and a snap-fit ​​structure may comprise an elastically deformable snap-fit ​​mechanism, for example, by designing at least the portion of the cover plate 400 that is intended to be snapped onto the stem to be made of an elastic material.

[0051] In some embodiments, the outer surface 220 of the vehicle riser 200 may further include at least one positioning hole 260. Specifically, the at least one positioning hole 260 may be provided on the first outer surface 221. The number of positioning holes 260 may be any number, such as one, two, three, or even more. The at least one positioning hole 260 may be distributed anywhere on the first outer surface 221. For example, the at least one positioning hole 260 may be distributed at both ends of the first outer surface 221 along the axial direction, or evenly or unevenly distributed along the axial direction.

[0052] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the vehicle riser 200 may further include at least one second retaining groove 280. Specifically, the at least one second retaining groove 280 may be provided on the first outer surface 221. The number of second retaining grooves 280 may be any number, such as one, two, three, or even more. The at least one second retaining groove 280 may be located anywhere on the first outer surface 221. For example, the at least one second retaining groove 280 may be located at both ends of the first outer surface 221 along the axial direction, or may be evenly or unevenly distributed along the axial direction.

[0053] Figure 5 shows an oblique view of a cover plate 400 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 6 shows a front view of the inner surface 420 of the cover plate 400 according to an embodiment of the present application; and Figure 7 shows a top view of the cover plate 400 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the cover plate 400 may include an inner surface 420 and an outer surface 440. The shape and size of the cover plate 400 may match those of the vehicle riser 200, providing a more aesthetically pleasing appearance while covering the riser 200. Specifically, the cover plate 400 may cover the first outer surface 221 of the vehicle riser 200. Thus, the shape and size of the inner surface 420 of the cover plate 400 match those of the first outer surface 221 of the vehicle riser 200, ensuring a secure installation and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. After the cover plate 400 and the vehicle riser 200 are installed, the outer surface 440 of the cover plate 400 may be exposed to the outside. To make the vehicle more beautiful, the shape and size of the outer surface 440 of the cover plate 400 can match the shape and size of the second outer surface 222 of the vehicle riser 200 so that the outer surface 440 of the cover plate 440 can smoothly transition to the second outer surface 222 of the vehicle riser 200 .

[0054] In the above description, the installation of the cover plate 400 requires, on the one hand, ensuring the connection between the inner surface of the cover plate 400 and the first outer surface 221 of the vehicle riser 200; on the other hand, after the cover plate 400 is installed, it is necessary to consider the connection between the outer surface of the cover plate 400 and the remaining exposed surfaces of the vehicle riser 200. Regarding the former, the shape and size of the inner surface 420 of the cover plate 400 can be designed to match the shape and size of the first outer surface 221 of the vehicle riser 200, for example, both using arcuate surfaces. Regarding the latter, the structural design of the vehicle riser 200 and the cover plate 400 can be adjusted, for example, the vehicle riser 200 can be designed to have a size and shape that is compatible with the cover plate 400.

[0055] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the vehicle standpipe 200 includes a first tube portion 210 and a second tube portion 230. The outer surface of the first tube portion 210 forms a first outer surface 221, and the outer surface of the second tube portion 230 forms a second outer surface 222. The second tube portion 230 has an outer circumference that protrudes from the first tube portion 210, so that a step 250 is formed at the connection between the second tube portion 230 and the first tube portion 210. The first latching groove 240 is provided at the step 250.

[0056] The aforementioned structural design causes the outer periphery of the first tube portion 210 to be recessed within the outer periphery of the second tube portion 230. As shown in FIG4 , when viewed from the cross-section of the vehicle riser 200 , the outer edge of the first tube portion 210 is recessed within the outer edge of the second tube portion 230 . This dimensional difference provides installation space for the cover plate 400 , which compensates for the dimensional difference and allows the outer edges of the cover plate 400 and the second tube portion 230 to be flush. Overall, the outer surface of the cover plate 400 smoothly transitions with the second outer surface 222 .

[0057] To achieve the aforementioned structural relationship between the first tube portion 210 and the second tube portion 230 , the first tube portion 210 and the second tube portion 230 may be manufactured separately, wherein the cross-sectional diameter of the first tube portion 210 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the second tube portion 230 . Alternatively, the vehicle riser 200 may be manufactured as a whole, and material is subsequently removed at locations corresponding to the first tube portion 210 through a cutting process or the like, so that the first tube portion 210 is retracted into the second tube portion 230 .

[0058] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the cover plate 400 may be provided with first latches 460. The number and position of the first latches 460 match the number and position of the first latching slots 240. The first latches 460 extend axially along the vehicle riser 200. When the cover plate 400 is connected to the vehicle riser 200, the first latches 460 snap into the first latching slots 240. The first latches 460 include a first latching surface 461 and a second latching surface 462 disposed opposite each other. The first latching surface 461 is connected to the outer surface 440 of the cover plate 400. The second latching surface 462 is connected to the inner surface 420 of the cover plate 400.

[0059] It should be noted that the cover plate 400 shown in Figures 6 and 7 corresponds to the vehicle riser 200 shown in Figures 2 to 4 . This correspondence is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. When the vehicle riser 200 employs the curved vehicle riser 200 described above or other possible vehicle riser 200 , the cover plate 400 should be deformed. Furthermore, the shape and size of the first latch 460 should also vary depending on the different first latch slots 240 .

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 7 , the first slot 240 further includes a third side surface 244 connected between the first side surface 241 and the second side surface 242. The first latch 460 further includes a third latch surface 463 connected between the first latch surface 461 and the second latch surface 462. When the cover panel 400 is installed on the vehicle riser 200, the third side surface 244 and the third latch surface 463 are aligned. This design has the advantage of increasing the bonding surface between the vehicle riser 200 and the cover panel 400, thereby improving the bonding strength and connection stability.

[0061] In some embodiments, at least one positioning boss 480 may be provided on the inner surface 420 of the cover plate 400. The at least one positioning boss 480 matches the at least one positioning hole 260. Specifically, the number and position of the at least one positioning boss 480 may match the number and position of the at least one positioning hole 260. When the cover plate 400 is mounted on the vehicle riser 200, the at least one positioning boss 480 is inserted into the at least one positioning hole 260.

[0062] In some embodiments, at least one second latch 490 may be provided on the inner surface 420 of the cover plate 400. The at least one second latch 490 mates with the at least one second slot 280. Specifically, the number and position of the at least one second latch 490 may match the number and position of the at least one second slot 280. When the cover plate 400 is mounted on the vehicle riser 200, the at least one second latch 490 engages with the at least one second slot 280.

[0063] It should be noted that the cover plate 400 can be a whole cover plate or a plurality of cover plates, and the plurality of cover plates cooperate with each other to achieve the above functions.

[0064] Figure 8 shows an oblique view of a cover plate 400 installed on a vehicle riser 200 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 9 shows a top view of the cover plate 400 installed on the vehicle riser 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, when the cover plate 400 is installed on the vehicle riser 200, the first snap-fit ​​surface 461 abuts against the second side surface 242, and the second snap-fit ​​surface 462 abuts against the first side surface 241. The cover plate 400 can cover the first outer surface 221 of the vehicle riser 200. The shape and size of the outer surface 440 of the cover plate 400 match those of the second outer surface 222 of the vehicle riser 200, ensuring a smooth transition between the outer surface 440 of the cover plate 400 and the second outer surface 222 of the vehicle riser 200. Since the outer surface 460 of the cover plate 400 can be smoothly connected with the second outer surface 222 of the vehicle standpipe 200, the interface between the outer surface 460 of the cover plate 400 and the second outer surface 222 of the vehicle standpipe 200 is smooth and beautiful, thereby ensuring beauty while increasing safety.

[0065] It should be noted that, for details of the cover plate 400 not disclosed in the device embodiment of this specification, please refer to the drawings provided in this specification, and no further description will be given here.

[0066] In summary, the cover plate 400 and vehicle 001 provided herein cover the vehicle riser 200 and connect it to the vehicle riser 200.
