[0026] Among them, the shock absorber 2 is tiltedly arranged inside the seat tube 3, which can decompose the vertical force, reduce the overall vibration effect of the bicycle during riding, and improve the riding experience and comfort.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, first connecting seats 32 may be symmetrically protruded on the two inner side walls of the seat tube 3 , and the two first connecting seats 32 are each provided with a first axial hole 321 communicating with the two outer side walls of the seat tube 3 .

[0028] like Figure 6As shown, a second connecting seat 21 may be provided at one end of the shock absorber 2, and a third connecting seat 22 may be provided at the other end of the shock absorber 2. A second axial hole 211 is provided on the second connecting seat 21, and a third axial hole 221 is provided on the third connecting seat 22. The second axial hole 211 of the shock absorber 2 is located between the two first connecting seats 32 of the seat tube 3 and is coaxially arranged with the two first axial holes 321. The second axial hole 211 is rotatably connected to the first axial holes 321 on both sides through a second connecting member 6.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, a first hinge groove 411 may be provided at one end of the rear seat fork 41, and first hinge holes 412 are symmetrically provided on both side walls of the first hinge groove 411; a second hinge groove 421 is provided at one end of the rear lower fork 42, and second hinge holes 422 are symmetrically provided on both side walls of the second hinge groove 421; the third axial hole 221 of the shock absorber 2 is located in the middle of the first hinge groove 411 of the rear seat fork 41 and is coaxially arranged with the two first hinge holes 412; the third axial hole 221 is rotatably connected to the first hinge holes 412 on both sides through a third connecting member 7.

[0030] Specifically, a motor housing 8 for mounting an external motor may be provided at the lower end of the seat tube 3, and a fourth connecting seat 33 is provided at the connection portion between the lower end of the seat tube 3, close to the side of the rear wheel fork 4, and the outer side of the motor housing 8. The top surface of the fourth connecting seat 33 is arranged in an arc-shaped transition with the side wall of the seat tube 3, and a fourth axial hole 331 is horizontally penetrated through the fourth connecting seat 3. The fourth axial hole 331 of the seat tube 3 is located between the second hinge grooves 421 of the rear lower fork 42 and is coaxially arranged with the two second hinge holes 422. The fourth axial hole 331 is rotatably connected to the second hinge holes 422 on both sides through the first connecting member 5.

[0032] Furthermore, the shock absorber 2 can be set as an oil-gas spring shock absorber, and the shock absorber 2 is provided with an air charging port 23 and a pressure regulating valve 24. In implementation, air can be charged into the hydraulic cylinder of the oil-gas spring shock absorber through the air charging port 23, and then the pressure of the oil-gas spring shock absorber can be adjusted through the pressure regulating valve 24. When the pressure regulating valve is adjusted to lock, the shock absorbing function can be turned off, so that it can be adjusted according to the needs of riding comfort, for example, the shock absorbing function can be turned on when riding on a bumpy road, or the shock absorbing function can be turned off when riding on a flat road, making riding more relaxed and comfortable.

[0033] In specific implementation, when the user rides the bicycle, the user provides downward pressure to the seat tube through the seat cushion, and the ground can provide upward pressure to the rear wheel fork through the rear wheel. When the bicycle is ridden on a bumpy road section, the seat tube or the rear wheel fork is very susceptible to external pressure and transmitted to the entire bicycle frame, thereby generating a large vibration. The external pressure is transmitted through the above-mentioned shock-absorbing frame structure, which can force the shock absorber to move axially in the direction of the shock-absorbing spring inside the shock absorber. The shock-absorbing spring is stretched or compressed as the shock absorber moves, and can absorb energy and shock-absorb the pressure, thereby achieving a good shock-absorbing purpose and shock-absorbing effect.

[0034] To sum up, the utility model has a simple structure and a reasonable design. It adopts a three-point shock-absorbing frame structure and realizes the installation of the shock-absorbing structure of the bicycle frame through three hinged structures. It can absorb energy, reduce shock and buffer vibration. It has reasonable force and compact structure, and can achieve good shock-absorbing effect. In addition, it also adopts a semi-hidden design to hide part of the shock-absorbing structure in the bicycle frame, which improves the overall appearance of the bicycle, reduces damage to the shock absorber caused by external factors such as impact damage or natural corrosion, can extend the service life of the shock absorber, and at the same time reduce the probability of shock absorber failure.

[0035] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited by the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
