The rotating member 40 is movably mounted on the inner core member 10. Therefore, the third oil pipe 703 connected to the first oil outlet 403 on the rotating member 40 will not rotate with the steering to cause the oil pipe to be twisted and damaged. There is no need to reserve a steering length for the oil pipe to be exposed. The oil pipe can be installed internally and hidden, which improves the appearance of the vehicle and avoids damage to the oil pipe.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the front brake upper pump brakes, the input oil is injected into the first oil inlet 204 through the first oil pipe 701, and then the oil reaches the first oil channel 107 through the first annular groove 104, and is output to the front brake lower pump through the third oil pipe 703 through the first oil outlet 109, and hydraulic braking is achieved; when the rear brake upper pump brakes, the input oil is injected into the second oil inlet 205 through the second oil pipe 702, and then the oil reaches the second oil channel 108 through the second annular groove 105 and enters the third annular groove 106, and is output to the rear brake lower pump through the first oil outlet 403 through the fourth oil pipe 704, and hydraulic braking is achieved.

[0094] In this embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 4-6 The rotating member 40 further comprises:

[0095] The step 402 is formed on the axial inner wall of the rotating sleeve 401 and corresponds to the assembly position of the first annular groove 105, and the first groove 402 and the second groove are formed in sequence on both sides of the axial inner wall of the rotating sleeve 401, wherein the first oil outlet 403 is opened at the middle position of the corresponding step;

[0096] Two rotary sealing rings 404 are respectively installed in the first grooves 402 and sleeved on the annular outer wall of the first core 101 to seal the oil passage of the first annular groove 105;

In this embodiment, the ball bearings 404 are deep groove ball bearings.

[0098] In the technical solution of the above embodiment, the setting of the rotary sealing ring 405 effectively ensures the sealing of the annular oil circuit, prevents oil leakage and avoids dust entry. At the same time, the setting of the ball bearing 404 also reduces the rotational friction of the rotating part 40 on the inner core part 10, and the steering is smooth without damaging the oil circuit.

[0099] In this embodiment, continue to refer to the attached Figure 4-6 , the locking parts include:

[0100] The first locking member 20 is sleeved on the second core portion 103 and limited by the first convex ring portion 102, and the outer edge of the first locking member 20 abuts against the edge of the first end of the head tube 50; further, in this embodiment, a rubber gasket can be provided between the first locking member 20 and the first convex ring portion 102 to prevent water and dust;

[0101] The second locking member 60 is assembled on the second end of the head tube 50 and is threadedly assembled with the free end of the first core 101 to cooperate with the first locking member 20 to axially position the inner core member 10 and the rotating member 40; in this embodiment, the second locking member 60 includes:

[0105] The buckle groove 600 is formed at the second end of the head tube 50 and cooperates with the annular flange 602 to form a buckle structure.

[0106] In the technical solution of the above embodiment, during assembly, the fourth oil pipe 704 is first passed through the bicycle frame, and then the first locking member 20 is installed at the upper end of the head pipe 50 and inserted into the first core portion 101 of the inner core member 10;

[0107] Then, the rotating member 40, the first nut member 610, and the first locking sleeve 601 are assembled in sequence, the first annular flange 602 at the second end of the first locking sleeve 601 abuts against the buckle edge groove 600 at the second end of the head tube 50, and the assembly position of the first locking sleeve 601 is fixed by a locking bolt to complete the assembly of the main body;

Figure 1-3 The tensioner 30 can be an upper gland, and the lower end of the upper gland has a pressure edge portion, which is connected to the upper end of the second core 103 through an axially arranged gland bolt 304, so as to assemble and fix the handlebar portion of the bicycle frame to the second core 103. Specifically, the handlebar portion of the bicycle frame is fixedly assembled on the second core 103, and the first oil pipe 701 and the second oil pipe 702 can be hidden and assembled in the tube cavity of the handlebar portion to achieve hidden assembly of the oil pipes. Furthermore, the first oil pipe 701 and the second oil pipe 702 can also be passed through the handlebar, and extend near the brake handle or directly connected to the brake handle, so as to achieve full hidden routing of the oil pipes, which has a good protection effect on the oil pipes and improves the aesthetics of the frame installation.

[0110] In summary, the improved rotating oil-passing car head structure provided in Example 2 of the present invention realizes the hidden assembly of the oil pipe when the bicycle is loaded, and when the bicycle turns, the rotation of the inner core member 10 drives the front fork and the front wheel to rotate to realize the steering function.
