[0031] The technical solution of the present application is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a stem and bowl assembly front fork alignment structure for positioning the seat tube 12 and the vertical tube 14, including:

[0033] A bowl set 11, wherein a through hole 13 for mounting a riser 12 is provided in the bowl set 11, and the bowl set 11 and the riser 12 are fixedly connected;

[0034] A step portion 15, the step portion 15 is fixed on the inner wall of the through hole 13 of the bowl assembly 11, and the step portion 15 is located between the bowl assembly 11 and the riser 12;

[0035] A clamping portion 16 is disposed at the upper end of the vertical pipe 14 , and the clamping portion 16 is clamped and assembled with the step portion 15 .

[0036] The handlebar is fastened to the riser 12. The installation method of the handlebar and the riser 12 belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail herein.

[0037] The technical effect of this solution is that it can prevent the handlebars on the seat tube 12 from loosening, effectively prevent the handlebars from tilting, and improve the safety of bicycle riding.

[0038] The headset 11 in this embodiment can be fixed to the seat tube 12 by welding. In this case, the step 15, the headset 11 and the seat tube 12 are directly welded. Alternatively, the headset 11 can be fixed to the seat tube 12 by a bolt assembly. At the same time, corresponding mounting holes can be provided on the headset 11 for mounting the bolt assembly.

[0039] After the clamping portion 16 of the stem tube 14 is engaged with the step portion 15 inside the bowl assembly 11, the positions of the stem tube 12 and the stem tube 14 are locked. For example, when the handlebar on the stem tube 12 is rotated, the stem tube 14 will rotate accordingly, which can prevent the handlebar from slipping during rotation, thereby improving the safety of the bicycle.

[0040] In addition, for vertical positioning, the present solution may use a tungsten wire 22 . As a prior art, the tungsten wire 22 is usually installed at the lower end of the vertical pipe 12 . The tungsten wire 22 needs to be inserted into the vertical pipe 14 to lock the vertical pipe 12 and the vertical pipe 14 .

[0041] As an implementation of this embodiment, there are multiple step portions 15, and the gaps between adjacent step portions 15 are used to snap into the snap-in portion 16. Further, the multiple step portions 15 are evenly arranged in a circumferential array based on the axis of the through hole 13.

[0042] There are two step portions 15. The cross-sectional shape of the step portion 15 along the horizontal direction is an arc shape. The cross-sectional shape of the clamping portion 16 along the horizontal direction is an arc shape. The arc-shaped step portion 15 and the clamping portion 16 have the advantages of high clamping efficiency and space saving.

[0043] As an implementation of this embodiment, a support portion 17 is provided on the outer circumference of the bowl assembly 11. The support portion 17 is provided to maintain a suitable position between the seat tube 12 and the head tube 19 of the bicycle so that the seat tube 12 does not deviate excessively downward.

[0044] As an implementation of this embodiment, an inserting portion 18 is further provided on the outer circumferential surface of the bowl assembly 11. The inserting portion 18 is located below the support portion 17, and the cross-section of the inserting portion 18 along the horizontal direction is a polygon.

[0045] Furthermore, the lower end of the plug-in portion 18 is provided with an inclined portion 20, and the lower end of the inclined portion 20 is provided with an introduction portion 21, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the introduction portion 21 along the horizontal direction is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the plug-in portion 18 along the horizontal direction. This facilitates the plug-in portion 18 to be quickly plugged into the head pipe 19.

[0046] In addition, the present application also proposes a bicycle, including the above-mentioned stem, headset and front fork alignment structure, and also includes a head pipe 19, in which the headset 11 is inserted and installed, and the support part 17 is pressed on the top of the head pipe 19.

[0047] Furthermore, a tungsten wire 22 is provided at the lower end of the vertical pipe 12. The tungsten wire 22 is a prior art, and the working principle of the tungsten wire 22 is not described in detail in this solution. When the tungsten wire 22 is adjusted, the tungsten wire 22 and the vertical pipe 14 are expanded and tightened, which can prevent the vertical pipe 12 and the vertical pipe 14 from shifting in the vertical direction.

[0048] In this solution, the support portion 17 is used to prevent the seat tube 12 from translating downward, and the vertical tube 14 has an expansion portion to prevent the head tube 19 from translating downward. Under the action of gravity, the positions of the seat tube 12, the vertical tube 14 and the head tube 19 are initially defined. Finally, under the action of the tungsten wire, the seat tube 12 and the head tube 19 are locked, which can ensure the structural stability of the bicycle.

[0049] For ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the utility model, which all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
