[0022] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, a soft-tail four-link shock-absorbing frame includes a middle tube 1, a shock-absorbing arm 6, a shock absorber 5, a rear lower fork 2, and a rear upper fork 3. A fourth rotation hole 154 is provided in the middle of the middle tube 1, and an upper rotation seat 16 and a lower rotation seat 13 are respectively provided at both ends of the middle tube 1; the shock-absorbing arm 6 is provided with a first rotation hole 61, a second rotation hole 62, and a third rotation hole 63, and the first rotation hole 61, the second rotation hole 62, and the third rotation hole 63 are distributed in a triangular shape. The first rotation hole 61 is rotationally connected to the upper rotation seat 16; one end of the shock absorber 5 is rotationally connected to the second rotation hole 62, and the other end of the shock absorber 5 is rotationally connected to the fourth rotation hole 154; the two ends of the rear lower fork 2 are respectively provided with a first connection hole 21 and a second connection hole 22, and the first connection hole 21 is rotationally connected to the lower rotation seat 13; the two ends of the rear upper fork 3 are respectively provided with a rear hook 4 and a third connection hole 33, the third connection hole 33 is rotationally connected to the third rotation hole 63, and the rear hook 4 is rotationally connected to the second connection hole 22.

[0024] The middle tube 1, the shock-absorbing arm 6, the rear lower fork 2, and the rear upper fork 3 form a four-link mechanism, enabling the frame to be in a freely rotatable state. Then, the middle tube 1, the shock-absorbing arm 6, and the rear upper fork 3 are connected by the shock absorber 5 to form a shock-absorbing structure. The overall number of components is small, the structure is simple and compact, the number of shock absorbers 5 is reduced, the assembly is convenient, and the cost is lowered.

[0025] Among them, an upper rotation hole 151 is provided on the upper rotation seat 16, and the upper rotation hole 151 is rotationally connected to the first rotation hole 61 of the shock-absorbing arm 6 through a first connecting shaft 71. The second rotation hole 62 is rotationally connected to the top of the shock absorber 5 through a second connecting shaft 72, the third rotation hole 63 is rotationally connected to the third connection hole 33 through a third connecting shaft 73, and the fourth rotation hole 154 is rotationally connected to the bottom of the shock absorber 5 through a fourth connecting shaft 74. A lower rotation hole 155 is provided on the lower rotation seat 13, and the lower rotation hole 155 is rotationally connected to the first connection hole 21 through a fifth connecting shaft 75, and the second connection hole 22 is rotationally connected to the rear hook 4 through a sixth connecting shaft 76.

[0026] As Figure 3 shown, in order to facilitate the processing of the middle tube 1, improve the strength of the middle tube 1, and reduce the cost of the middle tube 1, the middle tube 1 includes a seat tube 11 and a support tube 12. The seat tube 11 is a circular tube, and the upper rotation seat 16 is welded to the top of the seat tube 11; the support tube 12 is arranged on one side of the seat tube 11 and is located below the upper rotation seat 16. A support cavity 121 is provided on the support tube 12, the fourth rotation hole 154 is provided on the support tube 12 and is communicated with the support cavity 121, the lower rotation seat 13 is welded to the bottom of the support tube 12, and the shock absorber 5 is movably inserted into the support cavity 121. The seat tube 11 and the support tube 12 are of an integral structure and can be made of profiles, preferably aluminum profiles.

[0027] As Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, a drive seat 14 is welded to the bottom of the middle tube 1. A reduction motor is installed on the drive seat 14, and the reduction motor is connected to the rear wheel through a chain. On one side of the middle tube 1, a front frame 81 is also installed, and a head tube 82 is provided at the end of the front frame 81.

[0028] As Figure 3 shown, in order to prevent the shock absorber 5 from interfering with the support tube 12, an avoidance groove 122 communicating with the support cavity 121 is also provided at the top of the support tube 12, and the avoidance groove 122 is also arranged opposite to the shock absorber 5. The avoidance groove 122 increases the moving space of the shock absorber 5 and avoids the shock absorber 5 from colliding with the support tube 12.

[0029] As Figure 4 shown, in order to improve the strength of the shock absorber arm 6 and the reliability and stability of the connection, a first shock absorption groove 66 and a second shock absorption groove 67 are provided on the shock absorber arm 6. The first rotation hole 61 is arranged on the first shock absorption groove 66, and the second rotation hole 62 and the third rotation hole 63 are respectively arranged at both ends of the second shock absorption groove 67. The first shock absorption groove 66 is also movably inserted on the upper rotation seat 16, and the second shock absorption groove 67 is movably inserted on the top of the shock absorber 5 and the support tube 12.

[0030] As Figure 5 shown, at both ends of the rear lower fork 2, a first connection groove 25 and a second connection groove 26 are respectively arranged. The first connection groove 25 communicates with the first connection hole 21, and the second connection groove 26 communicates with the second connection hole 22. The first connection groove 25 is movably inserted on the lower rotation seat 13. The first connection groove 25 improves the reliability of the connection with the lower connection seat and can limit the axis position.

[0031] As Figure 6 shown, a rear connection block 41 is provided on the rear hook claw 4, and a rear connection hole 42 is provided on the rear connection block 41. The rear connection block 41 is movably inserted into the second connection groove 26, and the rear connection hole 42 is rotatably connected to the second connection hole 22 through a sixth connection shaft 76.

[0032] During shock absorption, the rear upper fork 3 moves upward. Due to the limitation of the shock absorber arm 6, the rear upper fork 3 moves towards the middle tube 1. The rear upper fork 3 pushes the shock absorber arm 6 to rotate around the first connection shaft 71. The shock absorber arm 6 compresses the shock absorber 5 through the second connection shaft 72. The shock absorber arm 6 realizes shock absorption by rotating around the first connection shaft 71, converts the compression amount of the shock absorber 5 into the swing of the shock absorber arm 6, reduces the jump during shock absorption, and solves the problem that in the existing frame, since the compression amount of the shock absorber 5 is all transmitted to the seat, resulting in a relatively serious jump and poor comfort.

[0033] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
