Or The Global Positioning System module is used to detect the user's motion, heart rate, position or surrounding environment, so that the user can record the relevant physiological and environmental conditions while riding the bicycle. News. The detailed configuration of the expansion device 1 for carrying the electronic device E will be further explained below.

Please refer to FIG. 2A-2B, which is an exploded view of the aforementioned expansion device 1 at different viewing angles. As shown in the figure, the expansion device 1 mainly includes a fixing member 10, a carrier 20 and a battery module 30. The fixing member 10 has an L-shaped structure, and the expansion device 1 can be mounted through the fixing portion 101 of the fixing member 10. It is disposed on the rod body BT of the bicycle handle, wherein the fixing portion 101 has an arc-shaped clamping mechanism and can be clamped on the rod body BT. In addition, the fixing member 10 is formed with an accommodating space 10R, and the carrier 20 is coupled to the accommodating space 10R for carrying the electronic device E. In this embodiment, the carrier 20 has at least one conductive component C that is exposed and protrudes from an upper surface 20S of the carrier 20. The battery module 30 is mainly composed of an upper cover 31, a lower cover 32, and a circuit board ( For example, a power control board having a chip 33 and a battery 34 are provided. The circuit board 33 is connected to the battery 34, and the two can be accommodated in the space formed by the combination of the upper and lower covers 31, 32, wherein the upper and lower covers 31, 32 are detachably connected; in detail, through The plurality of convex portions 321 of the lower cover 32 are respectively engaged with the plurality of holes 311 of the upper cover 31, so that the upper cover 31 and the lower cover 32 are firmly coupled to each other.
