Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of motorcycle dampers, and in particular relates to a damping mechanism and a motorcycle thereof. Background Art

[0002] A damper is a device that provides resistance to motion and dissipates kinetic energy. Various dampers (or shock absorbers) have long been used in industries such as aerospace, aviation, military, firearms, and the automotive industry to reduce vibration and dissipate energy. Since the 1970s, this technology has been gradually applied to structural engineering projects such as buildings, bridges, and railways, and its development has been rapid. There are three main types of dampers: liquid dampers, gas dampers, and electromagnetic dampers. Dampers play an important role in compensating for the slightest friction and air resistance in the vibration pickup pendulum system and improving frequency response.

[0003] The damper is an important safety accessory for motorcycles. Its function is to increase the steering resistance of the front wheel steering structure when the front wheel turns rapidly or swings uncontrollably left and right due to external force or improper operation during driving, thereby minimizing the risk of falling and improving the stability and safety of the motorcycle.

The present invention provides a motorcycle damper that connects the handlebars and body of the motorcycle via the titanium ruler. It can generate damping when encountering obstacles or turning or changing lanes, preventing the motorcycle from easily running off the track... The main problem with the above-mentioned motorcycle damper is that a mounting seat is provided on the top of the titanium ruler via a fixing clip, and the fixing clip is fixed to the mounting seat by bolts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] A damping mechanism comprises: a mounting plate 1, a titanium ruler 2, a snap assembly 3, and a fixing seat 4. The titanium ruler 2 is mounted on a mounting platform 12 provided on the fixing seat 4 via the snap assembly 3. The fixing seat 4 is located on one side of the mounting plate 1. The end of the titanium ruler 2 is connected to one side of the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 has two front fork interfaces 11, which are distributed at both ends of the titanium ruler 2. The snap assembly 3 can be adjusted to the size of the titanium ruler 2 according to different sizes.

[0020] According to a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, a mounting plate 1 is used to connect to the front fork of a motorcycle. The two front forks of the motorcycle respectively pass through a pair of front fork interfaces 11 of the mounting plate 1. The front fork interfaces 11 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the titanium ruler 2, so that the force applied to the mounting plate 1 is more balanced during installation. The titanium ruler 2 can be selected with appropriate size and damping according to the power and displacement of the motorcycle. The fixing seat 4 is used to fix and install the titanium ruler 2 and is located on one side of the mounting plate 1. In this embodiment, a size-adjustable buckle assembly 3 is provided to enable different models of titanium rulers 2 to be mounted on the mounting platform 12 provided on the fixing seat 4. Compared with the existing motorcycle titanium ruler 2, the top of which is fixed to the mounting seat by bolts using a fixing buckle, which can only fix and install titanium rulers 2 of a fixed size, the damping mechanism of the present invention improves versatility.

[0021] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the buckle assembly 3 includes a base plate 35 and a locking arm 31 hinged to one side of the base plate 35. The locking arm 31 is an arc-shaped structure made of flexible material. A curved plate 32 is provided on one side of the base plate 35. A space for fixing the titanium ruler 2 is formed between the locking arm 31 and the curved plate 32. After the locking arm 31 rotates, the other end can correspond to the locking rod 33 installed on one side of the base plate 35. The locking arm 31 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 34 corresponding to the locking rod 33. The positioning holes 34 are distributed along the length direction of the locking arm 31. The locking rod 33 can be inserted into the positioning holes 34 to change the tightening space between the locking arm 31 and the curved plate 32.

[0022] According to a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, in order to achieve the purpose of adjusting the installation size, this embodiment provides a specific snap assembly 3, the base plate 35 is fixed to the mounting platform 12 by bolts, one end of the locking arm 31 is hinged to one side of the base plate 35, and the locking arm 31 can be connected to the base plate 35 by wrapping from one side of the base plate 35 to the other side. The arc plate 32 corresponds to the locking arm 31, and the arc plate 32 is made of metal material structure, such as steel material. The width of the locking arm 31 can be selected and designed according to the damping strength of the titanium ruler 2 during actual installation. A number of positioning holes 34 are distributed on the side of the locking arm 31 for inserting and fixing the locking rod 33.

[0023] Furthermore, a connecting plate 36 is fixed at each end of the curved plate 32. Each connecting plate 36 is rotatably connected to an adjustment screw 37. The end of the adjustment screw 37 away from the connecting plate 36 is respectively threadedly connected to the base plate 35, so that rotating the adjustment screw 37 can pull the curved plate 32 toward or away from the base plate 35. The base plate 35 and the mounting platform 12 are staggered to provide space for the end of the adjustment screw 37 to extend. The connecting plate 36 and the base plate 35 are arranged parallel to each other. One end of the adjustment screw 37 is rotatably engaged with a connecting plate 36. A nut 38 is fixed to one side of the base plate 35. The base plate 35 has a strip-shaped hole, through which the adjustment screw 37 passes. The adjustment screw 37 is threadedly connected to the nut 38. The end of the adjustment screw 37 connected to the connecting plate 36 can be rotated for adjustment. During installation, the locking rod 33 is inserted into one end of the locking arm 31 and connected to the base plate 35 through the locking rod 33. Then, the adjusting screw 37 is rotated to loosen the arc plate 32. Under the tension of the arc plate 32, the titanium ruler 2 is restricted between the arc plate 32 and the locking arm 31 and thus fixed.

[0024] Furthermore, a displacement detection component 5 is fixed on one side of the connection disk, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the displacement detection component 5 includes: A bottom mounting plate 51 , to which a first vertical plate 52 and a second vertical plate 53 are fixed. The first vertical plate 52 and the second vertical plate 53 are arranged opposite to each other and located on the same side of the bottom mounting plate 51 ; a guide structure 54 mounted on the bottom mounting plate 51 , the guide structure 54 being located between the first riser 52 and the second riser 53 ; and A movable slider 55 is slidably connected to the guide structure 54 , and a thimble connection block 56 is fixedly mounted on the movable slider 55 , and the thimble connection block 56 is connected to the titanium ruler 2 . A detection unit is fixedly mounted on the second vertical plate 53 , and a return unit is fixedly mounted on the first vertical plate 52 ; One side of the movable slider 55 abuts against the return unit, and the return unit enables the movable slider 55 to cooperate with the detection unit, and the detection unit can be triggered when the movable slider 55 slides away from the detection unit and reaches a set position.

[0025] According to a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, the titanium ruler 2 will displace relative to the mounting base after prolonged use. If the displacement exceeds a certain extent, the damping effect of the titanium ruler 2 will be affected. Therefore, in order to detect the displacement of the titanium ruler 2, a displacement detection assembly 5 is fixed to one side of the connecting plate. Specifically, the bottom mounting plate 51 is horizontally arranged at the end of the ejector pin 22. The bottom mounting plate 51 is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 1. Specifically, the surface of the mounting plate 1 forms a platform for mounting the bottom mounting plate 51.

[0026] The first and second risers 52, 53 can be positioned at the ends of the bottom mounting plate 51, respectively. A movable slider 55 slidably engages with a guide structure 54, allowing the movable slider 55 to move toward the first riser 52 (away from the second riser 53) or away from the first riser 52 (toward the second riser 53). The return unit pushes the movable slider 55 to engage with a detection unit mounted on the second riser 53. When the movable slider 55 receives an external force and is pushed toward the first riser 52, compressing the compression spring 591 and contracting it, the movable slider 55 moves away from the detection unit and reaches a predetermined position, triggering the detection unit to generate a signal.

[0027] Furthermore, the detection unit includes a photoelectric sensor 57 fixed on the second vertical plate 53 and a detection shaft 58 . The detection shaft 58 is fixed on the movable slider 55 , and the detection shaft 58 is arranged in coordination with the photoelectric sensor 57 .

[0028] According to a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, the detection shaft 58 is arranged horizontally, and the ejector connecting block 56 and the ejector 22 are fixed as follows: the ejector connecting block 56 and the movable slider 55 are fixed by bolts, and a hole is opened on the ejector connecting block 56, and the hole is threadedly connected to the screw, and the screw is arranged vertically, and the screw abuts against the upper part of the ejector 22, thereby connecting the ejector 22 and the movable slider 55 as one.

[0029] Furthermore, the return unit includes a spring guide shaft 59 and a compression spring 591. The spring guide shaft 59 is fixed on the first vertical plate 52. The end of the spring guide shaft 59 away from the first vertical plate 52 extends into the limiting hole opened in the movable slider 55. The compression spring 591 is sleeved on the spring guide shaft 59. Under the action of the compression spring 591, the movable slider 55 has a tendency to move away from the first vertical plate 52.

[0030] According to a specific embodiment provided by the present invention, the spring guide shaft 59 is arranged parallel to the bottom mounting plate 51, and the movable slider 55 is provided with a limiting hole. One end of the spring guide shaft 59 extends into the limiting hole. This provides better stability for the installation of the compression spring 591. The elastic coefficient of the compression spring 591 can be selected according to the damping strength of the damper, and no specific restrictions are made here. The spring guide shaft 59 is parallel to the detection shaft 58. The guide structure 54 is a linear slide rail. The guide structure 54 can also be a guide rod structure. The guide rod and the movable slider 55 are slidably matched. This embodiment adopts the structure of a linear slide rail. The linear slide rail and the spring guide shaft 59 are arranged parallel. The linear slide rail is located below the movable slider 55 and is fixed to the bottom mounting plate 51 by bolts. The linear slide rail can adopt the existing structure.

[0031] Furthermore, this embodiment provides another detection unit structure, that is, the detection unit can also be a pressure sensor. Specifically, during installation, the movable slider 55 can be pushed against the pressure sensor by the compression spring 591. By setting the value of the pressure sensor, when the movable slider 55 is subjected to external force, the pressure sensor generates a signal after reaching the set value.

[0032] Furthermore, the titanium ruler 2 also includes a piston cylinder 21, a thimble 22 and a piston push rod 23. The thimble 22 is located at one end of the piston cylinder 21 and is connected to the thimble connecting block 56. The piston push rod 23 is located at the other end of the piston cylinder 21. The piston push rod 23 is movably connected to one side of the piston cylinder 21. A connecting ring 24 is fixedly installed at one end of the piston push rod 23, and the connecting ring 24 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion on the mounting plate 1. In this embodiment, the piston push rod 23 is movably engaged with the piston cylinder 21. The ejector pin 22 and the piston push rod 23 are respectively located at the ends of the piston cylinder 21, and the ejector pin 22 is fixed to the piston cylinder 21. When the displacement detection assembly 5 of the present invention is in use, when the piston cylinder 21 moves, the ejector pin 22 is pulled, and when the piston cylinder 21 moves to a certain position, the photoelectric sensor 57 of the displacement detection assembly 5 is triggered. The photoelectric sensor 57 sends a signal that is transmitted to the electrical control system, and finally an alarm is issued.
