[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] During use, the inner tube of the suspension fork can be placed between the three fastening strips 75. At this time, the three fastening strips 75 will only contact the outer wall of the inner tube under the action of the three springs 74. After contact, the inner tube can be fixed. After fixation, the oil pump 91 is started to inject the oil inside the storage barrel 4 into the inside of the connecting hose 92. The oil entering the inside of the connecting hose 92 will enter the inside of the L-shaped tube 52. The oil entering the inside of the L-shaped tube 52 will go up through the oil outlet pipe 53 into the inside of the oil outlet head 54, and then pass through the atomizing nozzle 55 installed on the circumferential surface of the oil outlet head 54. The oil is sprayed evenly into the inner tube. When the atomizing nozzle 55 sprays oil on the inner wall of the oil outlet pipe 53, the motor 62 can be started to rotate the threaded rod 64. The rotation of the threaded rod 64 drives the moving bar 63 to move. The movement of the moving bar 63 causes the L-shaped tube 52 to move upward. The upward movement of the L-shaped tube 52 drives all the atomizing nozzles 55 to move upward. During its upward movement, the infrared rangefinder 51 continuously detects the moving height of the L-shaped tube 52. When it reaches the appropriate height, the oil spraying can be stopped. In this case, the height of the oil spraying can be effectively controlled according to demand.

[0032] It is worth noting that the PLC controller 12 disclosed in the above embodiment is specifically a Siemens S7-200 model, the infrared rangefinder 51 can use a D2 indoor laser infrared measuring ruler, the motor 62 can use a 1LE0003 three-phase asynchronous motor, the electric telescopic rod 81 can use a TGC-A high-thrust electric telescopic rod, and the oil pump 91 can use an HD-E2-V liquid pump. The PLC controller 12 controls the operation of the infrared rangefinder 51, the motor 62, the electric telescopic rod 81 and the oil pump 91 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
