[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a high load-bearing capacity automotive steering knuckle fork, including: a knuckle fork assembly 1; the knuckle fork assembly 1 includes an upper knuckle fork 11 and a lower knuckle fork 12, one end of the upper knuckle fork 11 and the lower knuckle fork 12 is fixedly connected to a positioning post 13, and the end of the upper knuckle fork 11 and the lower knuckle fork 12 away from the positioning post 13 is fixedly connected to a positioning ring 14;

[0029] The fork assembly 1 consists of two parts: an upper fork 11 and a lower fork 12. These two parts are tightly connected together by a positioning post 13. The positioning post 13 ensures a stable connection between the upper and lower forks and other structures. At the other end of the fork assembly 1, it is connected to the steering assembly 2 by a positioning ring 14. This connection method not only ensures the stability of the overall structure, but also provides a reliable support foundation for the installation of subsequent components. In addition, the positioning post 13, as the central support point of the entire structure, further enhances the structural strength of the fork assembly 1, enabling it to remain stable when subjected to various external forces.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the steering assembly 2 includes an upper connecting post 21 slidably connected to one of the connecting rings 33, and a lower connecting post 22 slidably connected to the outer side of the other connecting ring 33. The outer side of the upper connecting post 21 is movably connected to a positioning ring 14 on the upper fork 11, and the outer side of the lower connecting post 22 is movably connected to a positioning ring 14 on the lower fork 12. A steering wheel 23 is fixedly connected to the outer sides of the upper connecting post 21 and the lower connecting post 22.

[0031] In the steering assembly 2, the upper connecting column 21 is slidably connected to a connecting ring 33, while the lower connecting column 22 is slidably connected to the outside of another connecting ring 33. This design allows the driver to adjust the position of the steering wheel as needed, improving operational flexibility. At the same time, the upper connecting column 21 and the lower connecting column 22 are movably connected to the positioning rings 14 of the upper fork 11 and the lower fork 12, respectively, ensuring the smooth transmission of force during steering.

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the reinforcing component 3 includes a positioning block 31 fixedly connected to the positioning post 13, an extension rod 32 fixedly connected to one end of the positioning block 31 away from the positioning post 13, and a connecting ring 33 fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod 32 away from the positioning block 31.

[0033] The reinforcing component 3 achieves additional reinforcement through the positioning block 31 fixed to the positioning column 13 and the extension rod 32 connected thereto. The connecting ring 33 at the end of the extension rod 32 not only increases the rigidity of the overall structure, but also forms a triangular design between 11 and 12, which improves the overall rigidity. The triangular shape design can effectively distribute and transfer the load, thereby improving the stability and deformation resistance of the structure. This allows the reinforcing component 3 to not only withstand greater forces, but also maintain its shape and position when subjected to external forces, ensuring the stable operation of the entire system.

[0034] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the positioning component 4 includes a positioning element 41 threadedly connected to the upper connecting post 21 and the lower connecting post 22. Both sides of the positioning post 13 are threadedly connected to bolt 42. The outer side of the positioning block 31 passes through the positioning post 13 and is threadedly connected to bolt 43.

[0035] The positioning component 4 securely locks the upper connecting post 21 and the lower connecting post 22 with a threaded connection. Bolt 42 is used on both sides of the positioning post 13 for reinforcement, and bolt 43 is used at the positioning block 31 to enhance stability. This multi-locking mechanism greatly improves the relative position accuracy between the parts and reduces the risk of loosening caused by vibration and other factors, thus ensuring that it can maintain a good working condition after long-term use.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown:

[0038] In use: First, the upper fork 11 and lower fork 12 are tightly fixed together using bolt 42 to form a stable fork assembly 1. This fork assembly 1 is the foundation of the entire steering fork structure, providing a solid foundation for subsequent assembly. Next, the positioning block 31 on the positioning post 13 is connected to the connecting ring 33 via the extension rod 32. In this way, the positioning block 31 can be tightly fixed together with the reinforcing assembly 3 via bolt 43. The design of the reinforcing assembly 3 cleverly forms a stable triangular structure, which greatly enhances the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the entire steering system. Then, the upper connecting post 21 and lower connecting post 22 in the steering assembly 2 are slidably connected to the connecting ring 33. This sliding connection design allows for flexible rotation under the driver's operation. To ensure the stable installation of the steering wheel 23, the upper connecting post 21 and lower connecting post 22 are fixed to the steering wheel 23 on the fork assembly 1 via the positioning piece 41. In this way, the entire steering system can operate smoothly, ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
