When describing the embodiments of the present utility model in detail, for the convenience of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally out of the general proportion, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present utility model herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width and depth should be included.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the embodiments of the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] As Figures 1-8 shown, an off-road motorcycle shock absorption device includes: a shock absorber 1, a spring 4, the spring 4 is sleeved on the shock absorber 1, and further includes: a rocking arm 2, a pull rod 3. One end of the shock absorber 1 is connected to the upper frame mounting ear 51 of the frame 5, the other end of the shock absorber 1 is connected to the shock absorber connecting lug 21 of the rocking arm 2. One end of the rocking arm 2 is provided with a rear swingarm connecting lug 22, the rear swingarm connecting lug 22 is connected to the rear swingarm 6, the other end of the rocking arm 2 is provided with a pull rod connecting lug 23, the pull rod connecting lug 23 is connected to the rocking arm connecting lug 31 of the pull rod 3, the lower frame connecting lug 32 of the pull rod 3 is connected to the lower frame mounting ear 52 of the frame 5, and the distance between the shock absorber connecting lug 21 and the rear swingarm connecting lug 22 of the rocking arm 2 is greater than the distance between the shock absorber connecting lug 21 and the pull rod connecting lug 23 of the rocking arm 2.

[0027] Preferably, the shock absorber 1 is composed of a cylinder block 11, a pressure accumulator 12, and a gas rod 13. The cylinder block 11 is connected to the pressure accumulator 12. An upper frame connection ear 111 is provided at the upper end of the cylinder block 11. The upper frame connection ear 111 is connected to the upper frame mounting ear 51 of the frame 5. The cylinder block 11 is sleeved with the gas rod 13. The rocker arm mounting ear 14 of the gas rod 13 is connected to the shock absorber connection ear 21 of the rocker arm 2.

[0028] Preferably, the rear swingarm 6 is provided with a rear swingarm crossbar 61. A rear swingarm connection ear 62 is provided on the upper end surface of the rear swingarm crossbar 61. The rear swingarm connection ear 62 is connected to the rear swingarm connection ear 22. A rear wheel connection position 63 is provided at the rear end of the rear swingarm 6. The rear wheel connection position 63 is connected to the rear wheel 64. The rear swingarm 6 is connected to the rear swingarm mounting position 53 of the frame 5.

[0029] The shock absorption working steps of the present utility model are as follows:

[0030] Step 1: As Figure 6 shown, when in State 1, the rear wheel does not contact the road surface bumps, and each component is in the initial state. The shock absorber 1 and the spring 4 of the shock absorption device are not compressed.

[0031] Step 2: As Figure 7 shown, when in State 2, the rear wheel is blocked by a small obstacle on the road surface, causing the rear wheel to be slightly lifted. The rear swingarm 6 rotates counterclockwise at a small angle with the rear swingarm mounting position 53 as the axis. The rear swingarm crossbar 61 also moves synchronously. The rear swingarm connection ear 22 connected to the rear swingarm connection ear 62 also moves upward. The rocker arm 2 is restricted by the pull rod 3 and the gas rod 13 of the shock absorber 1. While rotating counterclockwise at a small angle with the shock absorber connection ear 21 as the axis, the whole makes a small upward movement of compressing the shock absorber 1. However, due to the counterclockwise rotation of the rocker arm 2, the compression amounts of the shock absorber 1 and the spring 4 when the rear wheel passes over a small obstacle are less than those of the shock absorption structure in the direct connection type shock absorption structure. Therefore, when passing over a mild off-road road surface, the technical solution provided by the present utility model can make the vibration received by the rider less and milder, which is beneficial to reducing the fatigue feeling brought to the rider by the complex road surface.

[0032] Step 3: As Figure 8 shown, when in State 3, the rear wheel is blocked by a large obstacle on the road surface, causing the rear wheel to be greatly lifted. The rear swingarm 6 rotates counterclockwise at a large angle with the rear swingarm mounting position 53 as the axis. The rear swingarm crossbar 61 also moves synchronously. The rear swingarm connection ear 22 connected to the rear swingarm connection ear 62 also moves upward. The rocker arm 2 is restricted by the pull rod 3 and the gas rod 13 of the shock absorber 1. While rotating counterclockwise at a large angle with the shock absorber connection ear 21 as the axis, the whole makes a large upward movement of compressing the shock absorber 1. At this time, as Figure 8As shown, under the action of the pull rod 3 and the rear swing arm 6, the shock absorber connecting lug 21 of the rocker arm 2 is pushed upward in the direction of the compression shock absorber 1. Therefore, when passing through a high-strength off-road road surface, the compression amounts of the shock absorber 1 and the spring 4 are greater than those of the shock absorber structure in the direct connection type shock absorber structure. Therefore, when passing through a high-strength off-road road surface, the technical solution provided by the present invention can enable the rider to more directly feel the road conditions, and can also give more downward pressure to the rear wheel, reduce the suspension time of the rear wheel, increase the downward pressure of the rear wheel, and increase the riding safety.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various improvements can be made to it and components therein can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed by the present invention can be combined with each other in any way, and the exhaustive description of these combinations is not given in this specification only for the consideration of saving space and resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the text, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
