From this, depth sensor 3 can detect the degree of depth data on scooter 100 road surface of traveling more accurately, has promoted scooter 100's security.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 6, the control panel case 11 includes an upper case 112, a lower case 113, and a shield cover 114. Specifically, the lower shell 113 is arranged on the lower side of the upper shell 112 and defines a first accommodating space 1131 with the upper shell 112, the main control circuit board 111 is arranged in the first accommodating space 1131, the shielding cover 114 is arranged on the bottom of the lower shell 113 and defines a second accommodating space 1141 with the lower shell 113, two through holes 1142 are formed in the shielding cover 114, the camera 2 and the depth sensor 3 are arranged in the second accommodating space 1141, and the lens and the probe are respectively exposed from the two through holes 1142.

For example, in the example of fig. 1 to 6, the first accommodating space 1131 is defined by the upper casing 112 and the lower casing 113 together, the main control circuit board 111 is disposed in the first accommodating space 1131, the second accommodating space 1141 is defined by the shielding cover 114 and the lower casing 113 together, the camera 2 and the depth sensor 3 are disposed in the second accommodating space 1141, the shielding cover 114 is disposed at the bottom of the lower casing 113, the lens of the camera 2 and the probe of the depth sensor 3 can be exposed from the two through holes 1142 of the shielding cover 114 to capture the environment around the scooter 100 and detect the depth data in front of the scooter 100, and the other parts of the camera 2 and the depth sensor 3 which are not exposed from the through holes 1142 are shielded by the shielding cover 114 to ensure the aesthetic property of the control panel box 11. Therefore, the control panel box 11 has a simple structure and is convenient to install, and the camera 2 and the depth sensor 3 are accommodated in the second accommodating space 1141 defined by the shielding cover 114 and the lower shell 113 together, so that the lens and the probe are exposed from the two through holes 1142 of the shielding cover 114, and the appearance of the whole scooter 100 is more attractive.

Further, the depth sensor 3 is fixed to the lower case 113 by a conductive back adhesive. Thus, the depth sensor 3 can be firmly fixed to the lower case 113 at a low cost.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the control panel box 11 further includes a transparent cover 115, the transparent cover 115 is disposed at the lower side of the shielding cover 114 and connected to the lower case 113, and the transparent cover 115 is disposed under the camera 2 and the depth sensor 3. For example, in the example of fig. 1 to 6, the transparent cover 115 covers the lower part of the camera 2 and the depth sensor 3, and since the transparent cover 115 is made of a completely transparent material, the camera 2 and the depth sensor 3 can clearly photograph the environment around the scooter 100 and detect the depth data in front of the scooter 100 through the transparent cover 115, and prevent external impurities such as dust from adhering to the lens and the probe. From this, through being equipped with translucent cover 115 at the downside that shields cover 114, guaranteed camera 2 and depth sensor 3's definition, and translucent cover 115 can play the guard action to camera 2, prevents that camera 2 from receiving the damage.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 6, the transparent cover 115 is snap-coupled to the lower case 113, and the shield cover 114 is interposed between the transparent cover 115 and the lower case 113. For example, in the example of fig. 6, a snap 1151 is provided on the transparent cover 115, and the transparent cover is fixed to the bottom of the lower case 113 by the snap 1151. Since the transparent cover 115 is provided on the lower side of the shield cover 114, the shield cover 114 is fixed between the transparent cover 115 and the lower case 113 after the transparent cover 115 is snap-coupled to the lower case 113. Thereby, while the appearance beauty of the control panel case 11 is ensured, the transparent cover 115 and the lower case 113 are securely connected.
