One end of the regulator is circumferentially provided with a plurality of adjusting steps with different heights, and the lotus seat is rotatably sleeved on the shock absorber oil cylinder

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning hole is formed on the side surface of the lotus seat, and an adjusting column protruding from one side of the regulator extends into the positioning hole. The adjusting column has a hollow adjusting hole

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped transition surface is provided between two adjacent adjusting steps

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of positioning protrusions are circumferentially distributed at the other end of the regulator, and positioning grooves adapted for the positioning protrusions to be embedded are formed on the lotus seat.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, both the lotus seat and the regulator are hollow structures.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the positioning protrusion extends outside the lotus seat, and the regulator is made of a metal material.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Integrally molding the regulator as an insert with the lotus seat can ensure the overall strength of the gear shifting structure while reducing the overall process and cost. Secondly, adjustment holes are reserved on the lotus seat and the regulator, and tools such as screwdrivers and hexagons can be additionally inserted into the adjustment holes to rotate and adjust, which is more labor-saving, thus facilitating users to adjust the spring tension force. It has advantages that the current products do not have and is worthy of promotion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0019] Refer to Figures 1-3 , a lotus seat capable of adjusting the spring tension force, including a lotus seat 1 and a regulator 2, wherein the regulator 2 is arranged inside the lotus seat 1 and integrally injection-molded with the lotus seat 1 as an insert in a mold. Integrally molding the regulator 2 as an insert with the lotus seat 1 can ensure the overall strength of the gear shifting structure while reducing the overall process and cost.

[0020] Further, a plurality of adjusting steps 201 with different heights are circumferentially arranged at one end of the regulator 2. The lotus seat 1 is rotatably sleeved on the shock absorber oil cylinder. A shifting positioning member is also provided on the shock absorber oil cylinder. The shifting positioning member is in fit and abutment with any one of the adjusting steps 201. By rotating the lotus seat 1 to adjust different adjusting steps 201 to abut against the shifting positioning member, the adjustment of different spring forces can be realized.

[0021] Among them, the specific assembly positions of components such as the oil cylinder, the shifting positioning member, and the spring can be known from the comparative document, and will not be specifically elaborated herein.

[0022] Further, a positioning hole 101 is formed on the side surface of the lotus seat 1. One side of the regulator 2 protrudes to form an adjusting column 203 extending into the positioning hole 101. The adjusting column 203 has a hollow adjusting hole. Adjusting holes are reserved on the lotus seat 1 and the regulator 2, and tools such as a screwdriver or a hexagon can be additionally inserted into the adjusting hole to rotate and adjust, which is more labor-saving, thus facilitating the user to adjust the spring tension force.

[0023] Further, an arc-shaped transition surface 202 is provided between two adjacent adjusting steps 201. The arc-shaped transition surface 202 can more conveniently facilitate the user to adjust the spring tension force.

[0024] Further, a plurality of positioning protrusions 204 are circumferentially distributed at the other end of the regulator 2. A positioning groove 102 adapted for the positioning protrusions 204 to be embedded is formed on the lotus seat 1. Through the cooperation of the positioning protrusions 204 and the positioning groove 102, the strength of the combination of the lotus seat 1 and the regulator 2 can be assisted to increase.

[0025] Further, both the lotus seat 1 and the regulator 2 are of hollow structures, so that the lotus seat 1 can be sleeved on the shock absorber oil cylinder.

[0026] Further, the bottom of the positioning protrusion 204 extends outside the lotus seat 1. Among them, the regulator 2 is made of a metal material, and the lotus seat 1 is made of a plastic material, the positioning protrusion 204.

[0027] In summary, taking the regulator 2 as an insert and integrally molding it with the lotus seat 1 can ensure the overall strength of the shifting structure while reducing the overall process and cost. Secondly, adjusting holes are reserved on the lotus seat 1 and the regulator 2, and tools such as a screwdriver or a hexagon can be additionally inserted into the adjusting hole to rotate and adjust, which is more labor-saving, thus facilitating the user to adjust the spring tension force.

[0028] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
