[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-3As shown in this embodiment, a high-strength spool rod includes a spool rod body 1, a first end cap 2 at one end of the spool rod body 1, a second end cap 3 at the other end of the spool rod body 1, a screw 5 fixedly connected to the end of the spool rod body 1 near the second end cap 3, a carbon fiber reinforcing layer 12 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spool rod body 1, and the spool rod body 1 is made of carbon fiber. A first connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the first end cap 2 near the spool rod body 1, and a second connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the second end cap 3 near the spool rod body 1. Since the spool rod body 1 is made of carbon fiber and has a carbon fiber reinforcing layer 12 inside, the structural strength and durability of the spool rod body 1 can be significantly improved. At the same time, the lightweight characteristics of carbon fiber also help to reduce the overall weight of the bicycle and improve riding efficiency. The spool rod body 1 is filled with the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 7, which increases the overall rigidity of the spool rod body 1.

[0021] The cylinder shaft body 1 has a through hole inside, the first connecting rod 6 is disposed inside the through hole, the first connecting rod 6 has a screw hole 13 inside, a number of washers 8 are sleeved on the outside of the first connecting rod 6, and a number of rubber gaskets 9 are sleeved on the outside of the first connecting rod 6.

[0022] A rubber gasket 9 is disposed between the first end cap 2 and the washer ring 8, and the rubber gasket 9 is disposed between adjacent washer rings 8. The diameter of the washer ring 8 is the same as the diameter of the spool body 1. By increasing the number of washer rings 8 on the first connecting rod 6, the overall length of the spool body 1 is extended so that the spool body 1 can meet the length requirements of the front and rear forks of different frames. The rubber gasket 9 not only provides shock absorption and cushioning, but also reduces wear and noise between the washer rings 8, improves the service life of the washer rings 8, and can also seal between the first end cap 2 and the spool body 1, or between the washer ring 8 and the spool body 1.

[0023] The surface of the second end cap 3 is provided with a first annular groove 10, and the interior of the first annular groove 10 is provided with an internal thread that matches the screw 5. The second end cap 3 is connected to the screw 5 through the first annular groove 10.

[0024] One end of the second connecting rod 7 is located inside the screw hole 13, and the surface of the second connecting rod 7 is provided with an external thread that matches the screw hole 13. The second connecting rod 7 is connected to the inside of the screw hole 13 through the external thread, thereby connecting the second connecting rod 7 with the first connecting rod 6. Thus, the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 can be fixed to both ends of the cylindrical shaft body 1.

[0025] A sealing ring 14 is fixedly connected to one end surface of the cylinder shaft body 1 near the screw 5. A second annular groove 11 is opened on one end surface of the second end cover 3 near the cylinder shaft body 1. The sealing ring 9 cooperates with the second annular groove 11 to seal the connection between the second end cover 3 and the cylinder shaft body 1, preventing dust and water from entering the cylinder shaft body 1.

[0026] Both the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 have an internal hexagonal hole 4 on one end surface. The internal hexagonal hole 4 is used by the user to rotate the first end cap 2 or the second end cap 3 with a tool to disassemble or assemble the first connecting rod 6 or the second connecting rod 7.

[0027] This utility model provides a high-strength cylindrical shaft rod. The specific working principle is as follows: During installation, the required number of washers 8 are first installed on the first connecting rod 6, and rubber gaskets 9 are installed between the washers 8, between the washers 8 and the first end cap 2, and between the washers 8 and the cylindrical shaft rod body 1. Then, the first connecting rod 6 is inserted into the through hole, and then the second connecting rod 7 is inserted into the through hole and contacts the first connecting rod 6. Then, the second end cap 3 is rotated so that the second connecting rod 7 is screwed into the screw hole 13 until the first annular groove 10 is connected to the screw rod 5. At this time, the first end cap 2 and the second end cap 3 are connected to both ends of the cylindrical shaft rod body 1.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
