In addition, the bicycle grip cover 10 of the first embodiment of the present invention further provides a non-contact operating device 40, the non-contact operating device 40 has a mount 50 and two light sensors 60, wherein:

The mounting base 50 is fixed on the inner side of the handle portion 22 of the casing 20 and has two sensing portions 52 and a switch portion 54 disposed at intervals. The switch portion 54 is interposed between the two sensing portions 52 .

The light sensor 60 is embedded in the sensing part 52 of the mounting base 50, and the light sensor 60 can be a photo interrupter or an infrared sensor. Here, the photo interrupter is taken as an example, and it is mainly used to sense different hands of the rider. Different sensing signals are sent by the action, such as sensing the position where the hand stays on the sensing part 52 , the direction in which the hand swings relative to the sensing part 52 or the time the hand stays on the sensing part 52 .

In order to prevent the light sensor 60 from affecting its service life due to long-term power consumption when it is not in use, a power switch 56 can be installed in the switch part 54 of the mounting base 50 to form an electrical connection with the light sensor 60 to control the start of the light sensor. with off. In this embodiment, the power switch 56 is an example of a light control switch (but not limited thereto), which mainly activates or deactivates the light sensor by sensing external light changes through the internal photoresistor.

In actual operation, as shown in Figure 3, the rider first places his thumb on the switch part 52 of the mount 50 to cover the power switch 54, so that the power switch 56 activates the two light sensors 60 at the same time. The rider can swing his thumb forward or backward to the top of one of the sensing parts 52 of the mounting base 50 according to the needs of riding, so that the light sensor 60 arranged in this sensing part 52 is covered and the triggering is completed. , when the light sensor 60 is triggered, it will send a corresponding sensing signal to a central controller (not shown in the figure) according to the hand movement of the rider. At this time, the central controller will perform Corresponding function control, such as gear shifting or seat tube height adjustment, and the final adjustment result is displayed via the soft display 26 . Once the manipulation is completed, the rider can move his thumb back to the switch portion 54 of the mounting base 50, so that the power switch 56 turns off the two light sensors 60 at the same time, so that the light sensors 60 can be kept closed when not in use. state to avoid power consumption issues.

On the other hand, the non-contact operating device 40 can be matched with different types of grip covers and have different changes in quantity, position, and structure. For example, in FIG. 4 , the mounting seat 50 is fixed on the handlebar 12 and is adjacent to the grip cover 14 and the brake handlebar seat 16 . As shown in FIG. 5 , two sets of non-contact operating devices 40 can be provided on the same brake handle base 16 , and these two groups of non-contact operating devices 40 are used to control different functions respectively. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the shape of the mounting seat 50 can also be designed to cooperate with the inner periphery of the brake handle seat 16. Since the length of the mounting seat 50 increases, the number of light sensors 60 and power switches 56 can also be increased. An appropriate increase, for example, in FIG. 6 is to set three photosensors 60 and two power switches 56, each power switch 56 is between two adjacent photosensors 60, so that different power switches 56 can be used to start The light sensor 60 connected thereto performs subsequent functional control by triggering the light sensor 60 .

It can be seen from the above that the non-contact operating device 40 provided by the present invention allows the rider to accurately and quickly complete the triggering action on the light sensor 60 through hand movements, and then use the power switch 56 to control the light change, The light sensor 60 is activated only when the rider needs it, so as to avoid long-time power consumption and achieve the effect of prolonging the service life.

Please refer to FIG. 7 again. In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, the non-contact operating device 40 used in the foregoing embodiments is replaced by a contact operating device 70.

Once the operation is completed, the rider can move his thumb back to the power position sensing part 86 of the mounting base 80, so that the power switch 92 will turn off the touch sensor 90, so that the touch sensor 90 can be kept on when not in use. In the off state, to avoid the problem of power consumption.

On the other hand, the touch-type operating device 70 can also be matched with different types of grip covers to have different changes in quantity, position, and structure. For example, in FIG. 8 , the mounting seat 80 is fixed on the handlebar 12 and is adjacent to the grip cover 14 and the brake handle seat 16 . As shown in FIG. 9 , two groups of touch-type operating devices 70 can be arranged on the same brake handle base 16 , and these two groups of touch-type operating devices 70 are used to control different functions respectively. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the shape of the mounting base 80 can also be designed to cooperate with the inner periphery of the brake handle seat 16. Since the length of the mounting base 80 increases, the number of touch sensors 90 and power switches 92 It can also be increased appropriately. For example, in Figure 10, three touch sensors 90 and two power switches 92 are set, and each power switch 92 is between two adjacent touch sensors 90, so that different The power switch 92 of the power switch 92 activates the touch sensor 90 connected thereto, and then performs subsequent functional operations through the touch sensor 90 .

As can be seen from the above, the touch-type operating device 70 provided by the present invention allows the rider to accurately and quickly complete the triggering action on the touch sensor 90 through the special structural design of the mounting base 80, and then use the power switch 92 to control the light change.
