Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of motorcycle accessories, and in particular relates to an adjustable suspension mechanism of a motorcycle. Background Art

[0002] Disadvantages of traditional suspension adjustment methods:

[0003] Completely replacing the suspension unit is costly and the installation process is cumbersome and inefficient. Each adjustment requires the purchase and installation of a new suspension unit, which is not quick to adjust and is not suitable for riders who frequently change motorcycle configurations or load conditions;

[0004] Telescopic or threaded adjustable suspension systems have limited accuracy and non-standardized adjustment increments, making it difficult to fine-tune the suspension. At the same time, the lack of a reliable locking mechanism may lead to unexpected movement or instability under dynamic or heavy load conditions.

[0005] Other issues with existing suspension systems:

[0006] Uneven load distribution will lead to stress concentration, accelerated wear and even failure of components;

[0007] The suspension length cannot be easily adjusted to suit different motorcycle models, load conditions or riding styles. Riders often have to replace the entire suspension unit or perform complex modifications, which are time-consuming, expensive and require specialist tools and skills;

[0008] Lack of effective locking mechanism, unable to maintain stability after adjustment, posing safety risks under different loads and dynamic conditions;

[0009] Existing designs cannot provide a universal fit solution, and different motorcycle configurations require different suspension systems, increasing complexity and cost. Summary of the invention

[0010] To solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the present invention provides an adjustable suspension mechanism, which can achieve precise adjustment of the suspension length through modular design, adapt to various vehicle models, optimize load distribution, and ensure stability after adjustment.

[0011] An adjustable suspension mechanism for a motorcycle comprises a suspension mechanism and further comprises:

[0012] A modular connecting ring having four symmetrically distributed holes;

[0013] The housing is provided with four vertical conduits corresponding to the holes;

[0014] a plurality of removable gaskets inserted between the modular connecting ring and the housing;

[0015] a plurality of screws passing through the vertical guide tube and the holes to secure the washers;

[0016] A safety locking mechanism, including a locknut and a spring washer, is installed at the end of the screw;

[0017] The suspension mechanism is installed between the connector and the suspension head. The suspension length is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of washers. A suspension head gasket is installed between the connector and the suspension head.

[0018] Furthermore, the modular connecting ring, shell and gasket are made of lightweight and high-strength material, which is aluminum alloy or carbon fiber reinforced composite material.

[0019] Furthermore, the holes and the vertical conduits are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the connecting ring and the shell, so that the load is evenly transmitted to the gasket and the shell.

[0020] Furthermore, the anti-loosening nut of the safety locking mechanism cooperates with the screw thread, and the spring washer is located between the nut and the housing to provide continuous pre-tightening force.

[0021] Furthermore, the gasket has a standardized thickness, and the thickness of a single piece is 5 mm, 10 mm or 15 mm.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes an anti-corrosion coating covering the surface of the modular connecting ring, the shell and the gasket.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a shock-absorbing layer, which is arranged on the contact surface between the gasket and the shell.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] Compared to traditional motorcycle suspension systems, the suspension length can be precisely adjusted without replacing the entire suspension system, which improves adaptability to different vehicle frames and operating requirements and reduces manufacturing and inventory costs.

[0026] The safety locking mechanism ensures that the gasket remains stable under different load conditions, improving the reliability and safety of the system.

[0027] The optimized structural configuration evenly distributes loads, reduces stress and deformation on key suspension components, and enhances the durability and service life of the suspension system.

[0028] The adjustment process is simple and easy to use, allowing users to make modifications quickly and efficiently. The use of lightweight, high-strength materials helps reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, improve performance and increase fuel efficiency. In certain embodiments, additional features such as anti-corrosion coatings, shock-absorbing layers, and quick-release mechanisms further enhance the system's ease of use, durability, and operating efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 1-9 As shown;

[0044] The utility model relates to an adjustable suspension mechanism of a motorcycle.

[0045] In this embodiment: To solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as the defects of the traditional suspension adjustment method disclosed in the background technology above, the cost of completely replacing the suspension unit is high, and the installation process is cumbersome and inefficient. Each adjustment requires the purchase and installation of a new suspension unit, which cannot be adjusted quickly and is not suitable for riders who frequently change the motorcycle configuration or load conditions.

[0046] Telescopic or threaded adjustable suspension systems have limited accuracy and non-standardized adjustment increments, making it difficult to fine-tune the suspension. At the same time, the lack of a reliable locking mechanism may lead to unexpected movement or instability under dynamic or heavy load conditions.

[0047] Other issues with existing suspension systems

[0048] Uneven load distribution will cause stress concentration, accelerate the wear of components and even cause failure.

[0049] The suspension length cannot be easily adjusted to accommodate different motorcycle models, load conditions or riding styles. Riders are often forced to replace the entire suspension unit or perform complex modifications that are time-consuming, expensive and require specialist tools and skills.

[0050] There is a lack of an effective locking mechanism, and it cannot be stably maintained after adjustment, which poses a safety hazard under different load and dynamic conditions.

[0051] The existing design cannot provide a universal adaptation solution. Different motorcycle configurations require different suspension systems, which increases complexity and cost. In terms of actual use, this problem is obviously a real and difficult problem to solve. In view of this, in order to solve this technical problem, an adjustable suspension mechanism for a motorcycle is provided on this basis.

[0062] The anti-loosening nut 117 of the safety locking mechanism is threadedly matched with the screw 116, and the spring washer 119 is located between the nut 117 and the housing 104 to provide continuous pre-tightening force.

[0063] The gasket 114 has a standardized thickness, and the thickness of a single piece is 5 mm, 10 mm or 15 mm.

[0070] Safety locking mechanism: A spring washer 119 and a locking nut 117 are sequentially installed at the end of the screw 116, and after being tightened, a mechanical lock is formed to prevent loosening due to vibration.
