[0044] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0045] Embodiment 1, referring to Figure 1-2 , a locomotive rear suspension structure, applied to the front suspension of a heavy locomotive, includes a first frame 1, a rear suspension 2, a first shock absorber 3, and a connecting rod assembly 4; one end of the rear suspension 2 is hinged to the bottom end of the first frame 1, and the other end is hinged to the upper end of the first frame 1 through the connecting rod assembly 4. One end of the first shock absorber 3 is hinged to the rear suspension 2, and the other end is hinged to the first frame 1. The connecting rod assembly 4 has two and is symmetrically rotatably arranged on the rear suspension 2.

[0046] A support rod 5 hinged to the first shock absorber 3 is provided on the rear suspension 2, and the support rod 5 is hinged to the first shock absorber 3 through a pin shaft.

[0047] The connecting rod assembly 4 includes a first rod 6, a second rod 7, a third rod 8, and a fixing plate 9; the first rod 6 is hinged to the rear suspension 2, one end of the second rod 7 is fixedly arranged on the first rod 6 through the fixing plate 9, and one end of the third rod 8 is hinged to the second rod 7 and the other end is hinged to the first frame 1. Among them, the first rod 6 and the second rod 7 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the fixing plate 9, the length of the first rod 6 is greater than the length of the second rod 7, and the length of the third rod 8 is greater than the length of the first rod 6.

[0048] An installation boss 10 is provided on the first frame 1, and one end of the third rod 8 is rotatably connected to the installation boss 10 through a pin shaft.

[0049] When the vehicle passes over a speed bump or makes an emergency brake, the rear wheel drives the flat fork to swing upward under the ground feedback force. At this time, the first rod 6, the second rod 7 and the third rod 8 of the rear wheel intervene in the work. The third rod 8 is affected by the fulcrum of the installation boss 10 of the first frame 1 and gives the rear wheel a force to move backward. Under the action of the backward force, the first rod 6 and the second rod 7 of the rear wheel swing backward with the lower end shaft point as the center of the circle, increasing the wheelbase between the rear wheel and the front wheel, thereby reducing the vehicle center of gravity, improving the vehicle driving stability, and enhancing the riding safety.

[0050] Embodiment 2, referring to Figure 3-4, a locomotive rear suspension structure, which is applied to the front suspension of a light locomotive, includes a second frame 11, a rear swing arm 12, a second shock absorber 13, and a rotating assembly 14; one end of the rear swing arm 12 is hinged to the second frame 11, and both the second shock absorber 13 and the rotating assembly 14 are in two groups and symmetrically arranged at both ends of the second frame 11; wherein, one end of the second shock absorber 13 is hinged to the upper end of the second frame 11, and the other end is hinged to the lower end of the second frame 11 through the rotating assembly 14.

[0051] The rotating assembly 14 includes a first connecting rod 15, a second connecting rod 16, and a third connecting rod 17; one end of the first connecting rod 15 is hinged to the second frame 11, one end of the second connecting rod 16 is hinged to the first connecting rod 15, one end of the third connecting rod 17 is hinged to the second connecting rod 16, and the other end is hinged to the second shock absorber 13. Wherein, a convex block 18 is provided on the rear swing arm 12, and the hinge point between the second connecting rod 16 and the third connecting rod 17 is arranged on the convex block 18 through a pin shaft.

[0052] The length of the first connecting rod 15 is greater than the length of the second connecting rod 16, and the length of the second connecting rod 16 is greater than the length of the third connecting rod 17.

[0053] When the vehicle passes over a speed bump or a step, the rear wheel will receive an impact force backward. When the conventional suspension receives an impact force in this direction, the rear wheel can only move along the shock-absorbing fixed direction, and the rider will obviously feel the impact force. When the suspension structure of the present application receives an impact force backward when passing over a speed bump, under the action of the first connecting rod 15, the second connecting rod 16, and the third connecting rod 17, part of the backward impact force is converted into the swing between the connecting rods, thereby reducing the impact force received by the rider.

[0054] When the vehicle brakes suddenly or travels on a bumpy road surface, the shock absorption of the conventional suspension structure will produce a large stroke compression. The phenomenon of nodding occurs, which endangers the riding safety. When the vehicle brakes suddenly or travels on a bumpy road surface, under the action of the first connecting rod 15, the second connecting rod 16, and the third connecting rod 17, most of the force is distributed by swinging back and forth to share the force received during braking. So that the tire will not have a large up and down movement when braking suddenly or traveling on a bumpy road surface, and the wheelbase will not change violently either, improving the driving stability of the vehicle. Improving riding safety.

[0055] The above description is only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles applied. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept. For example, the technical solutions formed by mutually replacing the above features with the technical features (but not limited to) disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure that have similar functions.
