DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "up," "down," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inside," "outside," and the like, indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The utility model is a front suspension assembly of a backward tourist bus, comprising: a frame 1, a front seat bracket 2 being fixedly connected to the upper side of the frame 1 head, shock absorber fixing seats 3 being symmetrically welded to the inner sides of both ends of the front seat bracket 2, the bottom end of the shock absorber fixing seat 3 being fixedly connected to the shock absorber body 4 by bolts, the bottom end of the shock absorber body 4 being connected to the front wheel seat 5, the bottom end of the front wheel seat 5 being connected to a lower swing arm 7, and the upper side of the lower swing arm 7 close to the front wheel seat 5 is connected to a diagonal rod 8.

[0020] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a front wheel brake assembly 6 is provided on one side of the front wheel seat 5, and a connecting seat 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the diagonal rod 8 at the bottom end of the frame 1 by bolts. One end of the diagonal rod 8 is sleeved inside the connecting seat 9, and two lower control arms 7 are symmetrically provided at the bottom end of the frame 1. The two lower control arms 7 are distributed in a regular eight-shaped shape, thereby ensuring stable support for the frame 1. A steering mechanism 10 is provided on the bottom end of the frame 1 on one side of the front wheel seat 5, and a steering wheel 11 is connected to the head of the frame 1 through the steering mechanism 10. The diagonal rod 8 can effectively support and protect the lower control arms 7.

[0021] Among them, the bottom end of the shock absorber fixing seat 3 is an inclined surface structure, and the shock absorber main body 4 is perpendicular to the bottom end of the shock absorber fixing seat 3, so that the shock absorber main body 4 is inclined outward in an eight-shaped shape, thereby reducing the pressure on the shock absorber main body 4 during use. The angle between the shock absorber main body 4 and the vertical direction is 8°, and the angle between the front wheel seat 5 and the vertical direction is 1°. The lower arm 7, the diagonal rod 8 and the frame 1 form a triangular structure. The shock absorber main body 4, the lower arm 7 and the frame 1 form a triangular structure, and the triangular structure can ensure the stability of the structure.

[0022] Specifically, when the present invention is in use, the independent suspension composed of the shock absorber body 4, the lower arm 7 and the diagonal rod 8 ensures the stability of the tourist bus when it is traveling forward and backward through the triangular structure system composed of the lower arm 7, the diagonal rod 8 and the frame 1. At the same time, the triangular structure system composed of the shock absorber body 4 and the frame 1, the lower arm 7 and the diagonal rod 8 respectively ensures that the tourist bus can smoothly filter bumps during travel. The backward suspension of the lower arm 7 and the diagonal rod 8 not only facilitates the arrangement and installation of the steering mechanism 10, but also can more effectively ensure that the tourist bus can well support and protect the lower arm 7 during travel, thereby maintaining comfort while ensuring the safety of the tourist bus.

[0023] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
