Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of motorcycle shock absorbers, and particularly relates to an adjustable motorcycle shock absorber. Background Technology
[0002] Shock absorbers are widely used in vehicles such as cars and motorcycles to dampen vibrations during driving and improve ride smoothness. Motorcycle rear shock absorbers can quickly dampen impacts and vibrations caused by vehicle weight, load, and various road conditions, greatly improving the shock absorption performance of motorcycles and enhancing the stability and safety of motorcycle riding.
[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN112874678B discloses an electric motorcycle with good shock absorption, comprising: a frame; a front wheel; a rear wheel; a controller; a suspension system including a front suspension and a rear suspension, wherein the front wheel is connected to the frame via the front suspension, and the rear wheel is connected to the frame via the rear suspension; a motor, wherein at least one of the front wheel or the rear wheel is driven to the motor; a power battery disposed on the frame and electrically connected to the motor; and a charging device disposed on the frame, wherein the power battery is electrically connected to the charging device. The power battery includes a storage battery and a storage battery casing, the storage battery being disposed within the storage battery casing, and the storage battery casing being connected to the frame. The rear suspension comprises a rear swingarm connected to the frame via an axle and a shock absorber, the rear swingarm being connected to the rear wheel, and the motor being disposed on the rear swingarm.
[0004] The invention described above has a compact structure, and the shock absorber can provide shock absorption for motorcycles. However, the invention cannot adjust the preload of the shock absorber spring, making it unsuitable for users of different weights and inconvenient for motorcycles to use on special road sections, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing an adjustable motorcycle shock absorber that facilitates adjustment of the shock absorber spring preload, enabling the shock absorber to be used by users of different weights and making it more convenient for users to use motorcycles on special road sections.
[0006] This application provides an adjustable motorcycle shock absorber, including a shock absorber body, the shock absorber body comprising:
[0007] The adjustment mechanism includes a limit block, a rotating slot, and a locking assembly;
[0008] Cleaning equipment, including cleaning brushes, cleaning solution tanks, and nozzles;
[0009] Shock-absorbing springs;
[0010] The damper is connected to the shock-absorbing spring;
[0011] The rotating slot and the limiting block cooperate with each other, the rotating slot and the shock absorber body are fixed by a locking assembly, the shock absorber spring is connected to the rotating slot, the cleaning brush is in contact with the surface of the shock absorber body, the cleaning liquid tank is connected to the nozzle, and the nozzle outlet is aligned with the cleaning brush.
[0012] In this technical solution, an adjustment mechanism and a cleaning mechanism are incorporated into the shock absorber body. The adjustment mechanism includes a limit block, a rotating slot, and a locking assembly. The rotating slot and the limit block cooperate with each other, and the rotating slot is fixed to the shock absorber body by the locking assembly. The shock absorber spring is connected to the rotating slot. When adjusting the preload of the shock absorber spring, the operator rotates the rotating slot, fixing the groove on the rotating slot to the limit block. The locking assembly then further secures the rotating slot, ensuring the shock absorber spring remains stably at this length. This adjustment of the shock absorber spring's length, and consequently, its preload, allows the shock absorber body to be used by users of different weights. This design facilitates motorcycle use on special road sections and is quite convenient. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning brush, a cleaning fluid tank, and a nozzle. The cleaning brush contacts the surface of the shock absorber body, and the cleaning fluid tank is connected to the nozzle. The nozzle outlet is aimed at the cleaning brush. When riding a motorcycle outdoors, dust easily accumulates on the shock absorber body. When the shock absorber body is affected by impurities, the working performance of the shock absorber spring decreases, thus affecting the working performance of the shock absorber body. At this time, the nozzle is controlled to spray the cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid tank onto the cleaning brush. The cleaning brush, carrying the cleaning fluid, effectively cleans the shock absorber spring, keeping it clean and ensuring the working effect of the shock absorber body.
[0013] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes:
[0014] Clamping ring;
[0015] The fastening bolt is positioned at the clamping ring;
[0016] The rotating slot is provided with a limiting boss, and the clamping ring is placed at the limiting boss.
[0017] In this technical solution, a clamping ring and a fastening bolt are set in the locking assembly. The fastening bolt is placed at the clamping ring, and a limit boss is set in the rotating slot. The clamping ring is placed at the limit boss. After the user adjusts the preload of the shock absorber spring, he tightens the fastening bolt. The fastening bolt fixes the clamping ring, so that the clamping ring is tightly attached to the limit boss. The rotating slot and the shock absorber body are more fixed, and the user can stably adjust the preload of the shock absorber spring.
[0018] Furthermore, a rubber pad is provided between the shock-absorbing spring and the rotating slot.
[0019] In this technical solution, by setting a rubber pad between the damping spring and the rotating slot, when the shock absorber body is working, the rubber pad presses against the damping spring and the rotating slot, and the damping spring and the rotating slot are in contact. The rubber pad can effectively reduce the wear between the damping spring and the rotating slot, thereby extending the working life of the shock absorber body.
[0020] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes:
[0021] A sliding block, which connects to the cleaning brush;
[0022] Electric motor, including lead screw;
[0023] The sliding block and the lead screw are coupled together.
[0024] In this technical solution, a sliding block and a motor with a lead screw are set in the cleaning mechanism. The sliding block is connected to the cleaning brush, and the sliding block and the lead screw cooperate with each other. When the cleaning mechanism performs cleaning work, the motor is controlled to work. When the motor rotates, it drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the sliding block to move at the lead screw. At the same time, the sliding block drives the cleaning brush to move. The cleaning brush works in conjunction with the nozzle in the cleaning liquid tank to continuously scrub the impurities on the surface of the shock absorber body, so as to avoid the impurities affecting the operation of the shock absorber body and improve the cleaning ability of the cleaning mechanism.
[0025] Furthermore, the shock absorber body is also equipped with a mudguard;
[0026] The mudguard is located on the side of the shock absorber body.
[0027] In this technical solution, by setting a mudguard on the side of the shock absorber body, the mudguard can effectively protect the shock absorber body, reduce the probability of external dust and other impurities entering the interior of the shock absorber body, ensure the working performance of the shock absorber body, and facilitate user use.
[0028] Furthermore, the surface of the shock absorber body is coated with gradient paint.
[0029] In this technical solution, by applying gradient paint to the surface of the shock absorber body, the color of the gradient paint ranges from light to dark. When the user adjusts the preload of the shock absorber spring, after rotating the slot to change its position, the paint color on the lower side can indicate the magnitude of the preload of the shock absorber spring. This allows the staff to use the shock absorber body more intuitively and makes the adjustment work more convenient.
[0030] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0031] 1. When adjusting the preload of the shock absorber spring, the operator rotates the rotating slot to fix the groove on the rotating slot to the limit block. Then, the rotating slot is further fixed by the locking assembly. The shock absorber spring can be stably maintained at this length, thereby adjusting the length of the shock absorber spring. After changing the length of the shock absorber spring, its preload also changes, making the shock absorber body applicable to users of different weights, which is convenient for motorcycles to use on special road sections.
[0032] 2. After the user adjusts the preload of the shock absorber spring, tighten the fastening bolts to fix the clamping ring, making the clamping ring fit tightly against the limiting boss. This makes the rotating slot more secure with the shock absorber body, allowing the user to stably adjust the preload of the shock absorber spring.
[0033] 3. When users ride motorcycles outdoors, dust easily accumulates on the shock absorber body. After the shock absorber body is affected by impurities, the working performance of the shock absorber spring decreases, thus affecting the working performance of the shock absorber body. At this time, control the nozzle to work, the nozzle sprays the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank onto the cleaning brush, and then control the cleaning brush to work on the shock absorber body. The cleaning brush with cleaning fluid can effectively clean the shock absorber spring, keep the shock absorber spring clean, and ensure the working effect of the shock absorber body.

[0041] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific examples and application scenarios.
[0042] Example 1:
[0043] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application embodiment provides an adjustable motorcycle shock absorber, including a shock absorber body 100, the shock absorber body 100 comprising:
[0044] The adjustment mechanism 200 includes a limit block 210, a rotating slot 220, and a locking assembly 230;
[0045] The cleaning unit 300 includes a cleaning brush 310, a cleaning solution tank 320, and a nozzle 330.
[0046] 110 shock absorber springs;
[0047] The damper 120 is connected to the shock absorber spring 110;
[0048] The rotating slot 220 and the limiting block 210 are engaged, the rotating slot 220 and the shock absorber body 100 are fixed by the locking assembly 230, the shock absorber spring 110 is connected to the rotating slot 220, the cleaning brush 310 is in contact with the surface of the shock absorber body 100, the cleaning liquid tank 320 is connected to the nozzle 330, and the outlet of the nozzle 330 is aligned with the cleaning brush 310.
[0049] By incorporating an adjustment mechanism 200 and a cleaning mechanism 300 within the shock absorber body 100, the adjustment mechanism 200 includes a limit block 210, a rotating slot 220, and a locking assembly 230. The rotating slot 220 engages with the limit block 210, and the rotating slot 220 is fixed to the shock absorber body 100 via the locking assembly 230. The shock absorber spring 110 is connected to the rotating slot 220. When adjusting the preload of the shock absorber spring, the operator rotates the rotating slot 220, fixing the groove on the rotating slot 220 to the limit block 210. The locking assembly 230 then further secures the rotating slot 220, ensuring the shock absorber spring 110 remains stably at its length. This adjustment changes the length of the shock absorber spring 110, altering its preload and allowing the shock absorber body 100 to be used by users of varying weights, thus facilitating motorcycle use. It is more convenient to use on special road sections. The cleaning mechanism 300 is equipped with a cleaning brush 310, a cleaning fluid tank 320 and a nozzle 330. The cleaning brush 310 is in contact with the surface of the shock absorber body 100. The cleaning fluid tank 320 is connected to the nozzle 330. The outlet of the nozzle 330 is aimed at the cleaning brush 310. When the user rides the motorcycle outdoors, dust easily accumulates on the shock absorber body 100. After the shock absorber body 100 is affected by impurities, the working performance of the shock absorber spring 110 decreases, thus affecting the working performance of the shock absorber body 100. At this time, the nozzle 330 is controlled to work, and the nozzle 330 sprays the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank 320 onto the cleaning brush 310. Then, the cleaning brush 310 is controlled to work on the shock absorber body 100. The cleaning brush 310 with cleaning fluid can effectively clean the shock absorber spring 110, keep the shock absorber spring 110 clean, and ensure the working effect of the shock absorber body 100.
[0050] Furthermore, the locking assembly 230 includes:
[0051] Clamping ring 231;
[0052] Fastening bolt 232 is placed at clamping ring 231;
[0053] The rotating slot 220 is provided with a limiting boss 221, and the clamping ring 231 is placed at the limiting boss 221.
[0054] By setting a clamping ring 231 and a fastening bolt 232 in the locking assembly 230, with the fastening bolt 232 positioned at the clamping ring 231, and a limiting boss 221 provided in the rotating slot 220, with the clamping ring 231 positioned at the limiting boss 221, after the user adjusts the preload of the shock-absorbing spring 110, tightening the fastening bolt 232, the fastening bolt 232 fixes the clamping ring 231, making the clamping ring 231 tightly attached to the limiting boss 221, and the rotating slot 220 is more fixed to the shock absorber body 100, allowing the user to stably adjust the preload of the shock-absorbing spring 110.
[0055] Furthermore, a rubber pad 130 is provided between the shock-absorbing spring 110 and the rotating slot 220.
[0056] By setting a rubber pad 130 between the damping spring 110 and the rotating slot 220, when the shock absorber body 100 is working, the rubber pad 130 abuts against the damping spring 110 and the rotating slot 220, and the damping spring 110 and the rotating slot 220 are in contact when the shock absorber body 100 is working. The rubber pad 130 can effectively reduce the wear between the damping spring 110 and the rotating slot 220, thereby extending the working life of the shock absorber body 100.
[0057] Example 2:
[0058] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application embodiment provides an adjustable motorcycle shock absorber, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features. The cleaning mechanism 300 includes:
[0059] Sliding block 340, which is connected to cleaning brush 310;
[0060] Motor 350, including lead screw 351;
[0061] The sliding block 340 is engaged with the lead screw 351.
[0062] By setting a sliding block 340 and a motor 350 with a lead screw 351 in the cleaning mechanism 300, the sliding block 340 is connected to the cleaning brush 310 and the sliding block 340 cooperates with the lead screw 351. When the cleaning mechanism 300 performs cleaning work, it controls the motor 350 to work. When the motor 350 rotates, it drives the lead screw 351 to rotate, causing the sliding block 340 to move at the lead screw 351. At the same time, the sliding block 340 drives the cleaning brush 310 to move. The cleaning brush 310 works in conjunction with the nozzle 330 in the cleaning liquid tank 320 to continuously brush away impurities on the surface of the shock absorber body 100, so as to avoid impurities affecting the operation of the shock absorber body 100 and improve the cleaning ability of the cleaning mechanism 300.
[0063] Furthermore, the shock absorber body 100 is also provided with a mudguard 140;
[0064] The mudguard 140 is located on the side of the shock absorber body 100.
[0065] By providing a mudguard 140 at the shock absorber body 100 and placing the mudguard 140 on the side of the shock absorber body 100, the mudguard 140 can effectively protect the shock absorber body 100, reduce the probability of external dust and other impurities entering the interior of the shock absorber body 100, ensure the working performance of the shock absorber body 100, and facilitate user use.
[0066] Furthermore, the surface of the shock absorber body 100 is coated with gradient paint.
[0067] By applying gradient paint to the surface of the shock absorber body 100, the color of the gradient paint changes from light to dark. When the user adjusts the preload of the shock absorber spring 110, after rotating the slot 220 to change its position, the paint color on its lower side can indicate the magnitude of the preload of the shock absorber spring 110. This allows the staff to use the shock absorber body 100 more intuitively and makes the adjustment work more convenient.
