DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, which are provided by way of example and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application.

[0027] It should be noted that like numbers refer to like items throughout the drawings, and once an item is defined in one drawing, it should not be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0028] The present embodiment mainly describes the shock absorbing structure of the motorcycle frame, and specifically as follows:

[0029] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, including the main frame 1 and the rear fork 2, the main frame 1 is the main body of the car, mainly to support the connection, the rear fork 2 is used to connect the rear wheel with the main frame 1, the rear fork 2 has a front fork mouth 24 and a rear fork mouth 25, the two side walls of the front fork mouth 24 are rotatably connected to the rear end of the main frame 1, the first shock absorber 3 is arranged in the front fork mouth 24 and hinged to the top of the main frame 1, the bottom of the rear fork 2 is provided with a buffer frame 4, the buffer frame 4 has three non-collinear hinge joints, the first hinge joint 41 is hinged to the rear fork 2, the second hinge joint 42 is hinged to the lower end of the first shock absorber 3, the third hinge joint 43 is lower than the first hinge joint 41 and the second hinge joint 42, and the third hinge joint 43 is hinged to the connecting arm 5, one end of the connecting arm 5 away from the buffer frame 4 is hinged to the main frame 1, the second shock absorber 6 is arranged between the main frame 1 and the buffer frame 4, one end of the second shock absorber 6 is coaxially hinged to the second hinge joint 42, and the other end is hinged to the lower side of the main frame 1. The coaxial design of the two shock absorbers 3 and 6 ensures that the force line is consistent, avoiding the wear of the components caused by lateral force. When the motorcycle rear wheel is impacted, the rear fork 2 swings upward around the rotating shaft 7 at the rear end of the main frame 1, driving the buffer frame 4 to rotate around the first hinge joint 41, as the rear fork 2 rotates clockwise upward, the buffer frame 4 moves upward and rotates, causing the lower end of the first shock absorber 3 to be compressed, the first shock absorber 3 is compressed and shortened along its axis direction, absorbing the main vertical impact energy (such as jumping off the ground, big pit bumping); at the same time, the rotation of the buffer frame 4 drives the second hinge joint 42 to move, the lower end of the second shock absorber 6 is stretched accordingly, forming a parallel damping with the first shock absorber 3, absorbing high-frequency vibration (such as gravel road, continuous bumping), dispersing the remaining impact force, realizing multi-stage buffering, and significantly improving the riding comfort on rough road. In the above, the connecting arm 5 takes the axis of the rotating shaft 7 as the center, to limit the rotation amplitude of the buffer frame 4, to prevent excessive compression or stretching, at the same time, the connecting arm 5 transmits the movement of the buffer frame 4 to the main frame 1, enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0030] As Figure 2 shown, to provide a stable rotating fulcrum for the rear fork 2 and ensure that the rear fork 2 swings freely around the main frame 1, the two side walls of the end of the main frame 1 are welded or bolted with a connecting seat 11, the connecting seat 11 is provided with a hinge ear 12, the two side walls of the end of the front fork mouth 24 are provided with a sleeve 241, and a rotating shaft 7 is arranged in the two sleeves 241, the two ends of the rotating shaft 7 extend into the two hinge ears 12 to rotate the rear fork 2 relative to the main frame 1, a bearing is arranged on the rotating shaft 7 between the shaft sleeve and the inside of the sleeve 241, the bearing is used to reduce the friction resistance between the sleeve 241 and the rotating shaft 7, and prolong the service life.

[0031] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a fixing lug 13 is provided on the rear end of the main frame 1. The fixing lug 13 is located below the hinge lug 12, and the second shock absorber 6 and the connecting arm 5 are coaxially hinged to the fixing lug 13. The position design of the fixing lug 13 optimizes the installation space of the second shock absorber 6 and the connecting arm 5, while avoiding interference between the connecting arm 5 and the second shock absorber 6 and other components of the main frame 1. Preferably, there are two fixing lugs 13, symmetrically welded to both sides of the rear end of the main frame 1, and the connecting arm 5 and the second shock absorber 6 are coaxially hinged between the two fixing lugs 13.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower end of the first shock absorber 3 is a U-shaped hinge seat 31, and the second hinge joint 42 is inserted into the U-shaped hinge seat 31. The second hinge joint 42 has a U-shaped slot 421 in the middle. The hinge end of the second shock absorber 6 away from the main frame 1 is inserted into the slot 421 and coaxially hinged with the second hinge joint 42 and the U-shaped hinge seat 31. The design of the U-shaped hinge seat 31 and the slot 421 provides a coaxial fixing interface for the first shock absorber 3, the second shock absorber 6 and the second hinge joint 42, ensuring that the two shock absorbers 3 and 6 rotate coaxially, thereby eliminating lateral force and reducing stress concentration.

[0033] Specifically, the connecting arm 5 has two arms, which are coaxially hinged to both sides of the buffer frame 4 and the second shock absorber 6, forming a parallel four-bar structure. The symmetrical design balances the forces on both sides, avoiding deformation or fatigue fracture caused by unilateral overload. An installation space is formed between the two connecting arms 5. The second hinge joint 42 is located in the installation space and can move up and down in the installation space under the action of the rear horizontal fork 2 with the third hinge joint 43 as the fulcrum. The installation space provides the second hinge joint 42 with a directional range of motion, restricting its movement to vertical direction only, preventing lateral displacement or torsion.

[0034] Specifically, to improve the stability and deformation resistance of the buffer frame 4, the buffer frame 4 is an inverted triangular plate, with the three hinge joints located at the three corners of the triangular plate. Utilizing the stability of the triangle, the force transmission path is optimized, and torsional stiffness is improved. The three corners are respectively connected to the rear horizontal fork 2, the shock absorber 3, and the connecting arm 5, forming a highly efficient force transmission network. The buffer frame 4 can also be a V-shaped plate, with the three hinge joints located at the three ends of the V-shaped plate.

[0035] Specifically, in order to further increase the bending and torsional resistance of the buffer frame 4, prevent fatigue cracking caused by high-frequency vibration, and extend the service life of the buffer frame 4, the buffer frame 4 has raised reinforcing ribs 44 on both sides of its edges.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the rear fork 2 comprises a left fork 21, a right fork 22 and a cross beam 23 arranged between the left fork 21 and the right fork 22, which enhances the overall strength of the rear fork 2, the cross beam 23 is integrally formed with the left fork 21 and the right fork 22, the thickness of the left fork 21 and the right fork 22 gradually increases from both ends to the connection with the cross beam 23, and the bottom of the cross beam 23 forms a slot 26 for inserting a first hinge joint 41 of a buffer bracket 4, the slot 26 is provided with an axle hole 27 penetrating the slot wall on both side walls, the first hinge joint 41 of the buffer bracket 4 is hinged in the fork slot 26 through the axle, and the slot width of the slot 26 is equal to the width of the second hinge joint 42. The design of the slot 26 realizes accurate positioning of the buffer bracket 4, the cooperation of the slot 26 and the axle hole 27 reduces assembly error, and improves the connection reliability of the rear fork 2 and the buffer bracket 4.

[0037] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be explained that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is used, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, therefore it cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.
