On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present application can be more clearly, thoroughly understood, and the scope of the present application can be completely conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0036] Embodiment 1
[0037] With reference to Figures 1 to 3 , the present embodiment 1 provides a six-connecting-rod damping device which is installed at the rear end of the front triangle 2 of a bicycle. The six-connecting-rod damping device comprises a first connecting rod 11, a second connecting rod 12, a third connecting rod 13, a damper body 14, a lower fork connecting rod 15 and an upper fork connecting rod 16.
[0038] With reference to Figures 3 to 5 , the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12 and the third connecting rod 13 are sequentially connected from top to bottom, and the lower fork connecting rod 15 and the upper fork connecting rod 16 are rotationally connected with the front triangle 2.
[0039] Specifically, with reference to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5, the number of the first connecting rods 11 is two. The longitudinal section shape of the first connecting rod 11 is approximately triangular, and is provided with three connecting ends corresponding to the three vertices of the triangle. The longitudinal section in the present application is a section made along the length direction of the bicycle frame. The rear end of each first connecting rod 11 is provided with a second opening 111 extending along the length direction thereof, which provides mounting space for the upper fork connecting rod 16 and the second connecting rod 12. The front ends of the two first connecting rods 11 are symmetrically mounted on the upper part of the two sides of the riser pipe 22 of the front triangle 2 through a rotating shaft, forming a first rotating position 101. The front end of the upper fork connecting rod 16 is symmetrically provided with two first connecting heads, which are inserted into the second openings 111 and connected together with the rear upper end of the first connecting rod 11 through a rotating shaft, forming a second rotating position 102. The upper end of the second connecting rod 12 is symmetrically provided with two second connecting heads, which are inserted into the second openings 111 and connected together with the rear lower end of the first connecting rod 11 through a rotating shaft, forming an eighth rotating position 108.
[0040] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the longitudinal section shape of the third connecting rod 13 is approximately triangular, and is provided with three connecting ends corresponding to the three vertices of the triangle, and the fourth rotating position 104 is close to the third rotating position 103. The rear end of the third connecting rod 13 is provided with a first opening 131 extending along the length direction of the third connecting rod 13, which provides movement space for the up and down movement of the shock absorber body 14. The front end of the third connecting rod 13 extends to the lower part of the movable window 221 of the riser pipe 22 and is connected together with the riser pipe 22 through a rotating shaft, forming a third rotating position 103. The front end of the lower fork connecting rod 15 is provided with two third connecting heads, the rear lower end of the third connecting rod 13 is positioned between the two third connecting heads, and the two are connected together through a rotating shaft, forming a fourth rotating position 104. Under other conditions, the closer the fourth rotating position 104 is to the third rotating position 103, the smaller the displacement amount of the rear wheel axis 100 in the horizontal direction. The rear upper end of the third connecting rod 13 is connected together with the lower end of the second connecting rod 12 and the rear end of the shock absorber body 14 through a rotating shaft, forming a fifth rotating position 105. Among them, the lower end of the second connecting rod 12 is provided with a containing groove on the side opposite to the third connecting rod 13, the rear upper end of the third connecting rod 13 is positioned in the containing groove, the rear end of the shock absorber body 14 is positioned in the first opening 131 of the third connecting rod 13, and the rotating shaft connects the second connecting rod 12, the third connecting rod 13 and the shock absorber body 14 together.
[0041] The rotating shaft mentioned in the present application can be a separate round rod serving as a shaft and connected with the connecting rods on both sides, or can be a protrusion on any connecting rod serving as a rotating shaft, as long as it can allow the connecting rods on both sides to realize rotating support.
[0042] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The front end of the shock absorber body 14 passes through the movable window 221 of the stand pipe 22 and is placed in the installation groove 211 of the lower pipe 21, and the lower pipe 21 is connected together through the rotating shaft, forming the sixth rotating position 106.
[0043] Referring to Figure 5 The rear end of the upper fork connecting rod 16 is connected together with the rear end of the lower fork connecting rod 15 through the rotating shaft, forming the seventh rotating position 107.
[0044] In the shock absorption process, the six connecting rod shock absorption device utilizes the force of the upper fork connecting rod 16, the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12, the third connecting rod 13, the shock absorber body 14, and the lower fork connecting rod 15 to rotate around their respective rotating positions, gradually reducing the impact force generated by the road bumps, and further offsetting the impact force due to the piston movement of the shock absorber body 14, so that the bicycle frame has better shock absorption performance and can obtain better riding experience.
[0045] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the shock absorption process, in the first aspect, the upper fork connecting rod 16 moves forward under the force, pushes the first connecting rod 11 to rotate clockwise around the first rotating position 101, and pulls the third connecting rod 13 to rotate clockwise around the third rotating position 103 through the second connecting rod 12, so that the fifth rotating position 105 rotates clockwise around the third rotating position 103, pushes the shock absorber body 14 to work and rotates clockwise around the sixth rotating position 106. In the second aspect, the lower fork connecting rod 15 rotates clockwise around the fourth rotating position 104, and it needs to be emphasized again that the fourth rotating position 104 also rotates clockwise around the third rotating position 103 due to the action of other connecting rods. That is, the lower fork connecting rod 15 rotates clockwise around the fourth rotating position 104, and at the same time, the fourth rotating position 104 also rotates clockwise around the third rotating position 103.
[0046] Therefore, as Figure 6As shown, in the shock-absorbing stage, the movement track of the rear wheel axle center 100 is approximately in the shape of an arc. In this shock-absorbing process, the rear wheel axle center 100 moves upward and forward, and the movement track thereof is approximately in the shape of an arc, and the half track on the rear side of the center line Z and the half track on the front side of the center line Z. In the reset stage of the six-link shock-absorbing device, the rear wheel axle center 100 returns to the original position along the movement track. Therefore, in the entire shock-absorbing process, the displacement amount of the rear wheel axle center 100 in the horizontal direction is small, that is, the distance between the rear wheel axle center 100 and the tooth disc core shaft changes little, that is, the distance between the rear wheel axle center 100 and the pedal center changes little, the horizontal change of the riding gravity center is small, and the front and rear shaking does not occur. In the embodiment 1, the displacement amount of the rear wheel axle center 100 in the horizontal direction is 13.23 mm, and the longitudinal displacement amount is 169.49 mm, which changes according to the actual situation in the actual production and application process.
[0047] In the movement process of the six-link shock-absorbing device, the front end of the upper fork link 16 rotates clockwise around the second rotation position 102, the second rotation position 102 rotates clockwise around the first rotation position 101; the upper end of the second link 12 rotates counterclockwise around the eighth rotation position 108, the lower end of the second link 12 rotates counterclockwise around the fifth rotation position 105, the rear upper end of the third link 13 rotates clockwise around the fifth rotation position 105, and the front end of the lower fork link 15 rotates clockwise around the fourth rotation position 104; the rear end of the upper fork link 16 rotates clockwise around the seventh rotation position 107, and the rear end of the lower fork link 15 rotates clockwise around the seventh rotation position 107.
[0048] Figures 7 to 9 The process of the shock-absorbing movement of the six-link shock-absorbing device is shown. The two circular dots above the bicycle frame represent the riding gravity center in the sitting position and the riding gravity center in the squatting position from top to bottom, and the horizontal displacement amounts of the two riding gravity centers are within a very small range in the shock-absorbing process. Among them, Figure 7 The 0 mm rear stroke state of the bicycle frame is shown. The first link 11 and the third link 13 are basically in a horizontal placement state, the second link 12 is close to a vertical placement, the included angle between the second link 12 and the first link 11 and the third link 13 is close to 90 degrees, and the shock absorber body 14 is in an initial state.
[0049] Figure 8The 90mm rear travel state of the bicycle frame is shown. The upper fork link 16 is forced to move forward, pushing the first link 11 to rotate clockwise around the first rotation point 101, indirectly pulling the third link 13 to move clockwise around the third rotation point 103, and the lower fork link 15 rotates clockwise around the fourth rotation point 104. At this time, the first link 11 and the third link 13 are basically in a semi-inclined state, the height of the first rotation point 101 is lower than the height of the second rotation point 102 and the eighth rotation point 108, the height of the fifth rotation point 105 is greater than the height of the third rotation point 103, the height of the front triangle 2 is lowered, and the shock absorber body 14 is in a semi-compressed state.
[0050] Figure 9 The 170mm rear travel state of the bicycle frame is shown, which is the maximum rear travel state. The first link 11 and the third link 13 rotate clockwise to the limit position, and the first link 11 and the third link 13 are basically in an inclined state, the first rotation point 101 and the third rotation point 103 reach the lowest position, the rear wheel axis 100 moves forward and reaches the highest position. The shock absorber body 14 is in a fully compressed state. The height of the front triangle 2 is lowered to the lowest point.
[0051] As the shock absorption progresses, the position of the first rotation point 101 gradually moves downward, the third rotation point 103 gradually moves downward, the height of the front triangle 2 is greatly lowered, and the rear wheel axis 100 moves forward and upward, its movement trajectory is approximately circular, the change value of the distance between the rear wheel axis 100 and the chainring core shaft is small, and the change of the riding center of gravity is mainly in height, with little change in the horizontal direction, so the riding center of gravity is stable and does not sway forward and backward during shock absorption, the shock absorption effect is better, and the riding experience is good.
[0052] In addition, the change value of the distance between the rear wheel axis 100 and the chainring core shaft is small, which also makes the tightness of the chain or belt of the bicycle change smaller, which is more friendly to the work of the chain or belt, and the engagement degree with the chainring and the freewheel is higher, which is not easy to slip and has a longer service life.
[0053] It should be particularly pointed out that when the frame shock absorption system does not add the fourth rotation point 104, but connects the lower fork link 15 and the stand pipe 22 of the bicycle frame together, no matter how the links cooperate, the lower fork link 15 can only move in a circular motion around the third rotation point 103, resulting in a relatively large displacement of the rear wheel axis 100 in the horizontal direction, and the riding center of gravity is prone to sway forward and backward, the riding center of gravity is unstable, and the shock absorption effect is relatively poor.
[0054] It should be emphasized that the rotation points of the frame shock absorption system cannot be added at will. The more rotation points of the frame shock absorption system, the more difficult it is to produce and manufacture, and the higher the maintenance cost, which also brings certain challenges to the mechanical strength of the links.
[0055] In order to more clearly show the effect of the six-bar shock absorbing device, Figure 10 The data of the changes of various parameters in the bicycle shock absorbing process are provided. The sag is caused by the weight of the vehicle and the driver, which is the compression amount of the shock absorbing device when it is compressed by the weight of the cyclist on the bicycle. The rear travel on axle path refers to the travel of the virtual path drawn by the rear axle when the suspension is working. The progressivity refers to the ratio change between the force required for the suspension to compress to a certain travel position and the balance force generated by the impact. The shock compression refers to the compression amount of the shock absorber body 14, and the maximum shock compression refers to the maximum compression amount of the shock absorber body 14. The center of curvature is a moving point related to the axle path. For the six-bar shock absorbing device, a certain point of the non-circular axle path can be defined as the current center of curvature (CC), and the curve is considered to be circular at this point. The instant center (IC) is determined on the basis of the given travel position, and is calculated by making the two outermost connecting rods intersect each other. In addition, the ratio between the rear travel amount and the shock compression amount is the leverage ratio. The larger the leverage ratio, the greater the stress on the impact, which may result in low sensitivity of the six-bar shock absorbing device to the terrain, and vice versa, which has high sensitivity to the terrain.

The lower end of the stand tube 22 is provided with a movable window 221 for the up and down movement of the shock absorber body 14, and the down tube 21 is provided with a mounting groove 211 for mounting the shock absorber body 14.
[0059] The front end of the first connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the stand tube 22 to form a first rotation position 101, the front end of the shock absorber body 14 passes through the movable window 221 of the stand tube 22 and is rotatably connected to the down tube 21 to form a sixth rotation position 106, and the front end of the third connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the stand tube 22 to form a third rotation position 103.
