Affected by the advancement of technology and the improvement of road quality, the speed of bicycles has been continuously increased. In recent years, in addition to paying attention to the requirements of bicycle brake systems, manufacturers have also continuously improved the shock absorption function. In order to overcome the different vibrations during the movement of bicycles, different shock absorption devices are usually installed in different parts of the bicycle body.

[0025] The preload adjustment structure of the shock absorbing device of the present invention can be applied to a bicycle front fork 60, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bicycle front fork 60 is composed of a front fork vertical tube 61 and a lower leg 62 connected to the bottom end of the front fork vertical tube 61, wherein the top end of the front fork vertical tube 61 can be used to assemble a horizontally arranged handlebar (not shown in the figure), and the lower leg 62 is used to assemble a front wheel (not shown in the figure), and the lower leg 62 has two symmetrical fork legs 65 for jointly assembling the front wheel, and a shock absorbing device 50 capable of generating a shock absorbing and buffering effect is disposed in the fork legs 65, so that the shock absorbing device 50 of the bicycle front fork 60 can achieve a vibration reduction effect between the handlebar and the front wheel, so as to reduce the impact on the handlebar, and the feature of the invention is that a pre-compression adjustment structure 100 capable of pushing the shock absorbing device 50 is disposed at the top end of the fork legs 65, so as to selectively adjust the compression amount of the shock absorbing device 50.

[0026] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the preload adjustment structure 100 comprises a seat body 10, an adjustment tube 20, a transmission rod 30 and an adjustment knob 40, wherein the seat body 10 is a cap-shaped tube with a U-shaped cross section, and the outer edge of the seat body 10 has a locking portion 12 (such as an external thread) for fixing to a fixing member, and the fixing member can be a mounting portion 66 of the fork leg 65, and the inner edge of the seat body 10 is formed with a first adjustment section 13 for the aforementioned adjustment tube 20 to be screwed, and the top surface of the seat body 10 is formed with an axial through hole 14 extending along an axis for the aforementioned transmission rod 30 to be pivotally mounted, and the top periphery of the seat body 10 is formed with a concave-convex gripping tooth portion 15 for improving the grip of the seat body 10 when locked;

[0027] The adjusting tube 20 has a second adjusting section 21 on the outside corresponding to the first adjusting section 13 of the seat body 10, which may be a relative internal and external thread, a convex point, a spiral guide groove, etc., so that the adjusting tube 20 can be extended or retracted by rotating forward and reverse relative to the seat body 10, and the top of the adjusting tube 20 has a polygonal driving hole 23 corresponding to the axis, for assembling the transmission rod 30 to drive the adjusting tube 20, and the bottom of the adjusting tube 20 has a pushing portion 25 for pushing the shock absorbing device 50 through a pushing block 55;

[0028] The transmission rod 30 can be inserted into the adjustment tube 20, and the transmission rod 30 has a stopper 31 near the bottom end, and a polygonal driving column 32 corresponding to the polygonal driving hole 23 of the adjustment tube 20 is formed in the middle section. The top of the transmission rod 30 has a screw head 33 that can penetrate the axial through hole 14 of the base body 10, and the transmission rod 30 has an embedded segment 35 that penetrates the base body 10 at the top of the screw head 33. The transmission rod 30 has an accommodating hole 36 at the axis, and the accommodating hole 36 has a through hole 37 that penetrates the screw head 33 at the axis, so that a fixing bolt 38 can be inserted into the transmission rod 30, and the penetrated portion can be locked on the aforementioned adjustment knob 40;

[0029] Furthermore, the adjusting knob 40 has a mounting seat 41, and the mounting seat 41 has an embedding groove 42 corresponding to the embedding section 35 of the screw head 33, and the mounting seat 41 forms a screw hole column 43 corresponding to the axis in the embedding groove 42, which can be used for the aforementioned fixing bolt 38 to be locked, so that the transmission rod 30 disposed inside the adjusting tube 20 can be locked with the seat body 10 and the adjusting knob 40 as a whole, and a cross-shaped grip 45 is formed on the periphery of the adjusting knob 40, which can be convenient for holding and applying force when rotating, and a rotation direction mark 46 is formed on the top surface of the adjusting knob 40 for indicating the rotation direction of increasing or decreasing the compression amount of the aforementioned shock absorbing device 50; thereby, a shock absorbing device preload adjustment structure that can be smoothly controlled and can enhance the elastic bearing capacity is formed.

[0030] When this creation is actually used, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the preload adjustment structure 100 can be assembled in the fork leg 65 of the bicycle front fork 60, mainly by using the locking portion 12 of the seat body 10 to lock on the mounting portion 66 of the fork leg 65d. When the road condition is poor or the shock absorber 50 is tired and it is necessary to increase the compression of the shock absorber 50, the adjustment knob 40 is rotated so that the adjustment knob 40 can utilize the design of the locking groove 42 and the locking section 35 of the transmission rod 30 to drive the The transmission rod 30 rotates in situ relative to the seat body 10. At the same time, since the transmission rod 30 has the polygonal driving column 32 that cooperates with the polygonal driving hole 23 of the adjustment tube 20, the adjustment tube 20 can be rotated synchronously with the transmission rod 30. Moreover, since the adjustment tube 20 is screwed on the first adjustment section 13 of the seat body 10 by using the second adjustment section 21, the adjustment tube 20 can be displaced upward and retracted relative to the seat body 10, thereby allowing the shock absorbing device 50 to partially release the compression amount [such as Figure 6〕, to absorb greater vibration energy; on the contrary, when the road condition is relatively flat, the compression amount of the shock absorbing device 50 can be reduced to prevent the shock absorbing device 50 from being damaged due to long-term high compression amount. In operation, the adjustment knob 40 is reversed, and the transmission rod 30 is used to reversely rotate the adjustment tube 20, so that the adjustment tube 20 is displaced downward and extended, and then the adjustment tube 20 pushes against the push block 55 to compress the shock absorbing device 50〔as shown Figure 7 As shown], the load strength is increased, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the compression amount of the shock absorbing device 50.

[0031] From the foregoing description, it can be known that the pre-compression adjustment structure of the shock absorbing device of the present invention utilizes the adjustment tube 20 that is screwed onto the seat body 10, and the adjustment knob 40 can be used to rotate the transmission rod 30 to synchronously drive the adjustment tube 20 to rotate, so as to control the adjustment tube 20 to extend downward or retract upward, thereby adjusting the compression amount of the shock absorbing device 50 to meet the requirements of different road conditions, and can make the adjustment action smoother and more accurate, while increasing its compression adjustment length and the range of elastic bearing capacity, thereby improving its practicality.

[0032] The preload adjustment structure of the shock absorbing device of the present invention has the following advantages, such as:

[0033] First, the top of the base body 10 has the gripping teeth 15 , which can facilitate the gripping and operation of the base body 10 when it is locked.

[0034] Secondly, the adjusting tube 20 used for pressing against the shock absorbing device 50 is pressed by the tubular pressing portion 25, which has a larger effective area, can enhance the stability of its movement, and can disperse its pressure, thereby improving its bearing capacity.

[0035] Furthermore, the adjustment knob 40 has a cross-shaped grip 45, which is convenient for holding and applying force when rotating, and the top surface of the adjustment knob 40 has a rotation direction mark 46 for indicating whether to increase or decrease the compression amount, thereby improving the convenience of operation.
