Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric vehicle connectors, in particular to a high-universal front fork connector for electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] The steering column of an electric vehicle is also called the three-star column. It is a device that connects the handlebars, front shock absorbers and front wheels. It can play a good role in shock absorption and direction control. The steering column of an electric vehicle is generally composed of a steering column and a steering column connector.

[0003] The front fork connector serves to connect the shock absorber assembly to the steering column. However, since there are two shock absorber assemblies and the specifications of the shock absorber assemblies vary depending on the specifications of the electric vehicles, the sizes of the mounting holes of the traditional connectors for mounting the shock absorber assemblies are relatively fixed, resulting in one connector being able to only fit shock absorber assemblies of the same specifications. However, there are many existing specifications, which requires production or even customization based on demand during production, which increases the production cost to a certain extent and reduces the scope of application of a single connector. In view of this, we propose a high-universal front fork connector for electric vehicles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a high-universal front fork connector for electric vehicles, which can solve the problem that the size of the traditional mounting holes for mounting shock absorbing components is relatively fixed.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a high-universal front fork connector for electric vehicles, comprising a connector, a mounting hole is provided on the upper surface of the connector, a temporary storage groove is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole, a mounting block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connector, a threaded rod is provided on the side surface of the mounting block away from the connector, an end of the threaded rod close to the mounting block rotates and penetrates into the interior of the mounting block, an adjustment plate is provided on the inner wall of the temporary storage groove, a threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the side surface of the adjustment plate close to the threaded rod, the threaded sleeve is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded sleeve, the limiting block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting block, an adjustment knob is provided on the front side surface of the connector, and an adjustment structure is provided on the adjustment knob.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustment structure includes a second threaded rod, the rear end of the second threaded rod rotates and penetrates into the interior of the connecting piece, the interior of the connecting piece is set to be hollow, and a displacement block is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of one end of the second threaded rod located inside the connecting piece, the displacement block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting piece, the left and right side surfaces of the displacement block are fixedly connected to the first telescopic rod, and the second telescopic rods are respectively slidably connected to the interiors of the two first telescopic rods.

[0007] Preferably, springs are respectively fixedly connected to adjacent side surfaces of the two second telescopic rods, and the two springs are respectively fixedly connected to the two first telescopic rods.

[0008] Preferably, sliding blocks are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two opposite sides of the two second telescopic rods, and the two sliding blocks are also slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting member.

[0009] Preferably, the front side surfaces of the two sliding blocks are fixedly connected with a push rod, the inner wall of the connecting piece is fixedly connected with a sliding cylinder, the push rod extends into the interior of the sliding cylinder, and the inner wall of the temporary storage groove is provided with a second adjustment plate.

[0010] Preferably, a push rod is fixedly connected to a side surface of the second adjustment plate away from the mounting hole, and the other end of the push rod slides through the interior of the connecting member and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding cylinder.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] (1) When the diameter of the mounting hole needs to be adjusted, the threaded rod can be rotated. Since the limit block limits the movement trajectory of the threaded sleeve, the threaded sleeve will be driven to move horizontally when the threaded rod rotates. The movement of the threaded sleeve will also drive the adjustment plate to move. After the adjustment plate moves, the diameter of the mounting hole is reduced. At the same time, the diameter of the mounting hole is adjusted again through the adjustment structure and the axis is calibrated. Through the above structure, when the diameter of the shock absorbing assembly and the mounting hole are not compatible, the diameter of the mounting hole can be adjusted through the cooperation of the adjustment structure and the adjustment plate, thereby adapting the shock absorbing assembly. While improving the versatility of the connector, it also effectively increases the scope of application.

[0015] (2) The electric vehicle has a universal front fork connector. After the sliding block moves, it synchronously drives the push rod to move. After the push rod moves, it contacts the push rod and pushes the push rod to move. When the push rod moves, the second spring is stretched synchronously through the sliding ring, and the second adjustment plate is pushed out synchronously after the push rod moves. Through the above structure, it is more convenient to adjust the mounting hole, and the center of the mounting hole can be re-positioned through two-way adjustment to avoid the problem of loose installation due to center offset.

An adjustment structure is provided on the adjustment knob 9. When it is necessary to adjust the diameter of the mounting hole 2, the threaded rod 5 can be rotated. Since the limit block 8 limits the movement trajectory of the threaded sleeve 7, the threaded sleeve 7 will be driven horizontally when the threaded rod 5 rotates. The movement of the threaded sleeve 7 will simultaneously drive the adjustment plate 6 to move. After the adjustment plate 6 moves, the diameter of the mounting hole 2 is reduced. At the same time, the diameter of the mounting hole 2 is adjusted again through the adjustment structure and the axis is calibrated. Through the above structure, when the diameter of the shock absorbing assembly is not compatible with the mounting hole 2, the diameter of the mounting hole 2 can be adjusted through the cooperation of the adjustment structure and the adjustment plate 6, and then the shock absorbing assembly can be adapted. While improving the versatility of the connector 1, it also effectively increases the scope of application.

[0029] Furthermore, the adjustment structure includes a second threaded rod 10, the rear end of the second threaded rod 10 rotates and penetrates into the interior of the connecting member 1, the interior of the connecting member 1 is set to be hollow, and the outer surface of one end of the second threaded rod 10 located inside the connecting member 1 is threadedly sleeved with a displacement block 11, the displacement block 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting member 1, the left and right side surfaces of the displacement block 11 are fixedly connected to the first telescopic rod 12, the interiors of the two first telescopic rods 12 are respectively slidably connected to the second telescopic rods 13, and the side surfaces of the two second telescopic rods 13 that are close to each other are respectively fixedly connected to springs 14, and the two springs 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the two first telescopic rods 12, and the two The surfaces on the opposite side of the second telescopic rod 13 are respectively fixedly connected with sliding blocks 15, and the two sliding blocks 15 are also slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting member 1. The front surfaces of the two sliding blocks 15 are fixedly connected with push rods 16. The inner wall of the connecting member 1 is fixedly connected with a sliding cylinder 17, and the push rod 16 extends into the interior of the sliding cylinder 17. A second adjustment plate 18 is provided on the inner wall of the temporary storage groove 3. A push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the second adjustment plate 18 away from the mounting hole 2. The other end of the push rod 19 slides through the interior of the connecting member 1 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding cylinder 17. The outer surface of the sliding cylinder 17 is provided with a sliding groove 20 communicated with the interior thereof. The outer surface of the sliding cylinder 17 is slidably sleeved with a sliding ring 21, and the inner wall of the sliding ring 21 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the push rod 19 through a sliding groove 20. The outer surface of the sliding cylinder 17 is sleeved with a reset plate 22, and the surface of the reset plate 22 on one side close to the sliding ring 21 is fixedly connected with a second spring 23, and the other end of the second spring 23 is fixedly connected to the sliding ring 21. The second threaded rod 10 is synchronously driven to rotate by rotating the adjusting knob 9. Since the displacement block 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting member 1, the displacement block 11 is synchronously driven to move when the second threaded rod 10 rotates.

Since the limit block 8 limits the movement trajectory of the threaded sleeve 7, the threaded sleeve 7 will be driven to move horizontally when the threaded rod 5 rotates. The movement of the threaded sleeve 7 will synchronously drive the adjustment plate 6 to move. After the adjustment plate 6 moves, the diameter of the mounting hole 2 is reduced. At the same time, the diameter of the mounting hole 2 is adjusted again through the adjustment structure and the axis is calibrated. The second threaded rod 10 is synchronously driven to rotate by rotating the adjustment knob 9. Since the displacement block 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting piece 1, When the second threaded rod 10 rotates, it will synchronously drive the displacement block 11 to move. After the displacement block 11 moves, since the sliding block 15 is also slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting member 1, and the sliding trajectory is oblique, when driving the sliding block 15 to move, the spring 14 will be synchronously stretched through the second telescopic rod 13. After the sliding block 15 moves, the push rod 16 is synchronously driven to move. After the push rod 16 moves, it contacts with the push rod 19 and pushes the push rod 19 to move. When the push rod 19 moves, the second spring 23 will be synchronously stretched through the sliding ring 21, and the second adjustment plate 18 will be synchronously pushed out after the push rod 19 moves.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
