[0077] The positional relationships described in the following embodiments include: up, down, left and right. Unless otherwise specified, they are all based on the directions in which the components are drawn in the drawings.
[0078] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The bicycle with a shock absorbing device for a front fork tube of a bicycle mainly comprises a steering device, which generally comprises a head tube 20, a front fork tube 10 and a handlebar vertical tube 30, etc., wherein the front fork tube 10 used for setting the present application is connected to a front fork portion 14, the front fork tube 10 rotatably passes through the head tube 20, and a head bowl set is usually arranged between the front fork tube 10 and the head tube 20 to keep the front fork tube 10 and the head tube 20 able to rotate smoothly relative to each other, and the front fork portion 14 is rotatably combined with the front wheel of the bicycle. In the first embodiment of the present application, a connecting unit 12 is sleeved on the part of the front fork tube 10 extending out of the head tube 20, an expander S is embedded in the top of the front fork tube 10, and an expansion bolt S1 is penetrated in the center of the connecting unit 12, and the expansion bolt S1 is screwed on the expander S to fix the connecting unit 12 to the top of the front fork tube, and then the connecting unit 12 is connected to a damping unit 16 to form the above-mentioned shock absorbing device.
[0079] For detailed structure of shock absorbing device, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The damping unit 16 of this embodiment mainly includes a body 162 and a latch 166. The body 162 extends along an axial direction A, and a ring-shaped flange 164 is radially protruded from the bottom end of the body 162. The connecting unit 12 is a tubular body and is provided with a front fork tube joint portion 123 and a damping unit joint portion 125 connected along the axial direction A. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the front fork tube joint portion 123 is larger than the outer diameter of the damping unit joint portion 125, the inner diameter of the front fork tube joint portion 123 is larger than the inner diameter of the damping unit joint portion 125, and the front fork tube joint portion 123 is used to fit on the front fork tube 10. A locking portion 121 is provided on one side around the front fork tube joint portion 123, and the locking portion 121 includes a cut groove 1211 and at least one locking hole 1212. In this preferred embodiment, at least one locking hole 1212 includes two locking holes, each locking hole 1212 passes through both sides of the groove 1211, and each locking hole 1212 has a thread on one of the two sides separated by the groove 1211, and a locking piece 124 is respectively combined with each locking hole 1212 to fit the front fork tube joint 123 and clamp it tightly on the front fork tube 10.
[0080] When the body 162 of the damping unit 16 is sleeved on the connecting unit 12, the body 162 of the damping unit 16 covers the damping unit joint portion 125 of the connecting unit 12, the flange 164 at least partially covers the front fork tube joint portion 123, and the flange 164 abuts against the front fork tube joint portion 123, and a first through hole 122 and a second through hole 1622 are respectively provided on the damping unit joint portion 125 and the body 162 of the damping unit 16, which are opposite to each other in a straight line, that is, opposite to each other along the straight line, so that the latch 166 can be sequentially inserted into the second through hole 1622 of the damping unit 16. and the first through hole 122 of the damping unit joint 125, so that the damping unit 16 can be firmly positioned at the predetermined position of the connecting unit 12. In this way, when the handlebar stem 30 of this embodiment is connected to the front fork tube 10 through the shock absorbing device formed by the connecting unit 12 and the damping unit 16, the C-shaped opening at one end of the handlebar stem 30 will be fitted and tightly clamped on the body 162 of the damping unit 16, connected to the connecting unit 12 via the damping unit 16, and finally connected to the front fork tube 10 via the connecting unit 12, so the handlebar stem 30 will not directly contact the front fork tube 10.
[0081] Secondly, when the front fork tube 10 is combined with the shock absorbing device and the handlebar vertical tube 30, an upper cover 18 for closing the opening at the top of the connecting unit 12 is provided at the top of the connecting unit 12. The upper cover 18 is a ring body and a bolt 182 is provided in the center. A screw hole 1662 for the bolt 182 to be screwed is provided on the latch 166 of the damping unit 16.

[0082] The connection unit 12 combined with the front fork tube 10 of the present application is connected to the damping unit 16, and the damping unit 16 and / or the connection unit 12 have a damping effect of attenuating the vibration when transmitting the vibration. For example, the elastic coefficients of the damping unit 16 and the connection unit 12 are set to have different elastic coefficients, and the difference in elastic coefficients is derived from the different materials of the damping unit 16 and the connection unit 12. In this embodiment, the material of the damping unit 16 is set to a non-metallic material such as plastic, rubber or composite material, and the material of the connection unit 12 is set to metal; in other preferred embodiments, the material of the damping unit 16 can also be set to metal, and the material of the connection unit 12 can be changed to a non-metallic material such as plastic, rubber or composite material. Therefore, when the bicycle is ridden on a rough road, the vibration generated between the front wheel and the road surface will not be directly transmitted to the handlebar stem 30 and the handlebars due to the shock absorption and isolation effects provided by the damping unit 16 and / or the connecting unit 12. In this way, the rider's riding comfort can be maintained, and the handlebars can be prevented from shaking due to vibration, thereby improving the rider's controllability and safety of the bicycle.
[0083] Please refer to Figures 6 to 9 In the second embodiment of the present application, a bicycle having a shock absorbing device for a bicycle front fork tube also includes a head tube 20A, a front fork tube 10A and a handlebar stem 30A.

The damping unit 16A is abutted against an upper cover 18A at the top of the unit 12A. When the C-shaped opening of the handlebar stem 30A is sleeved on the front fork tube 10, the handlebar stem 30A is sleeved and clamped on the body 162A of the damping unit 16A for fixation. The bottom ring 163A and the top ring 165A are respectively located at the bottom and top of the C-shaped opening of the handlebar stem 30A.
