[0002] The front fork structure is a component connecting the front wheel and the vehicle body. Since it is divided into left and right arms to support the front wheel and looks like a fork, it is commonly called a front fork. The front fork component is located in the front part of the scooter. Its upper end is connected to the handlebar component, the frame component is matched with the front tube, and the lower end is matched with the front axle component to form the steering system of the scooter. The working sequence of the front fork should be: encountering an obstacle - the front fork is compressed - reaching the extreme point - being rebounded to the original length (the speed of rebound is affected by damping) - the bouncing system work ends. Based on the above, the inventor found the following problems: The outer foot fork for fixedly installing the front wheel of the current front fork is usually fixedly installed at the bottom of the piston sleeve. The length of the front fork on the scooter usually needs to be limited within a certain range.
