[0024] Example
[0025] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a bicycle frame with increased rigidity, including a frame structure 100.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 The frame structure 100 includes a seat tube 110, an axle tube 120, and a reinforcing tube 140. The axle tube 120 is fixed to the bottom end of the seat tube 110. A front fork support 130 is fixed to one side of the seat tube 110 and the axle tube 120. A rear fork assembly 150 is fixed to the other side of the seat tube 110 and the axle tube 120. A diagonal brace 160 is fixed between the rear fork assembly 150 and the seat tube 110.
[0027] A reinforcing rib 111 is fixed on the riser tube 110. The reinforcing rib 111 is circumferentially distributed on the surface of the riser tube 110. A first positioning hole 112 is also provided at the upper end of the riser tube 110. Here, the reinforcing rib 111 can increase the overall strength of the riser tube 110 and improve the stability during use. The fork support 130 includes a head tube 131. An upper tube 132 is fixed between the head tube 131 and the riser tube 110. A lower tube 133 is fixed between the head tube 131 and the axle tube 120. A reinforcing tube 140 is fixed between the lower tube 133 and the riser tube 110. Here, the fork support 130 is used for installation and connection with the front wheel.
[0028] The rear fork assembly 150 includes a rear upper fork 151, a rear lower fork 152, and a connecting tube 153. The rear upper fork 151 and the rear lower fork 152 are fixed to the connecting tube 153. The rear upper fork 151 is fixed to the seat tube 110, and the rear lower fork 152 is fixed to the axle tube 120. The diagonal brace 160 is fixed between the rear upper fork 151 and the seat tube 110. The rear fork assembly 150 is provided with two sets for installation and connection with the front wheel. At the same time, the diagonal brace 160 can increase the overall rigidity, making the rear brake more secure and reducing the situation of softness during force dissipation.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 The seat cushion cushioning structure 200 includes a fixed plate 210 and a seat cushion movable rod 220. The fixed plate 210 is fixed inside the upper end of the riser 110, and the seat cushion movable rod 220 is slidably connected to the upper end of the riser 110. A cushioning component 230 is fixed between the fixed plate 210 and the seat cushion movable rod 220. A positioning component 250 is also installed between the seat cushion movable rod 220 and the riser 110. The seat cushion is installed on the seat cushion movable rod 220.
[0030] The seat cushion movable rod 220 has a second positioning hole 221 corresponding to the first positioning hole 112. A sliding sleeve 240 is also fixed to the seat cushion movable rod 220. The sliding sleeve 240 has a sliding groove 241 that matches the reinforcing rib 111. The sliding groove 241 is slidably engaged with the reinforcing rib 111. The sliding sleeve 240 also has a third positioning hole 242 corresponding to the second positioning hole 221. The positioning component 250 includes a positioning bolt 251 and a threaded cap 252. The positioning bolt 251 is inserted into the first positioning hole 112, the second positioning hole 221, and the third positioning hole 242. The threaded cap 252 is threaded to the end of the positioning bolt 251. The positioning component 250 is used to position the seat cushion movable rod 220, allowing riders to selectively use or not use seat cushioning, improving flexibility and catering to different user needs.
[0031] The buffer 230 includes a spring 231, with a first connecting post 232 and a second connecting post 233 fixed to both ends of the spring 231. The first connecting post 232 is fixed to the seat cushion movable rod 220, and the second connecting post 233 is fixed to the fixing plate 210. The elasticity of the spring 231 can make the seat cushion movable rod 220 have a certain cushioning effect, thereby improving the comfort of the buttocks during riding and making riding more comfortable.
[0032] Specifically, the working principle of this stiffer bicycle frame is as follows: During use, a diagonal brace 160 is fixed between the rear upper fork 151 and the seat tube 110. This increases the overall stiffness of the frame when braking with the rear brake, reducing the softness caused by the rear brake's force and making the ride more stable. At the same time, a buffer 230 is added to the seat tube 110. After removing the positioning piece 250, the saddle is installed on the saddle rod 220. When riding over bumpy roads, the spring 231 can cushion the buttocks, making the ride more comfortable. This reduces the softness caused by the rear brake's force and makes the ride more stable, while also reducing the bumps on the buttocks caused by bumpy roads, making the ride more comfortable.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
