[0041] Working principle: When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the long spring 7, unscrew the nut 6 on the right side of the bolt 5, then rotate the bolt 5 so that the middle part of the bolt 5 leaves the inside of the chassis 4 and cancels the engagement with the positioning post 3.

[0042] The fixed plate 8 is fixed by the sliding block 204 inside the fixing seat 203 on the inner wall of the fork 1. When the shock absorption function is not needed, rotating the shaft 201 will rotate the pinion 202. The rotation of the pinion 202 will move the bottom T-block 205. Due to the restriction of the sliding block 204, it will start to move horizontally. When one side of the T-block 205 moves into the hole 206, the fixed plate 8 is fixed. After the fixed plate 8 is fixed, the long spring 7 can no longer extend and retract to absorb shock, so that the shock absorption function can be turned on and off according to actual needs. In the case where shock absorption is not needed, the long spring 7 can be fixed quickly and easily, and the shock-absorbing fork can be converted into a rigid structure. This can effectively reduce the energy loss caused by the extension and retraction of the spring, so that the power can be transmitted to the wheel more directly, improving riding speed and efficiency, and adapting to various road conditions and riding styles.
