[0002] The motorcycle's steering adjustment locking mechanism is one of the key components ensuring riding safety and handling performance. This mechanism is mainly responsible for adjusting and fixing the relative position between the front fork and the handlebars, affecting the motorcycle's steering flexibility and stability. It allows the rider to easily adjust the handlebar angle under different road conditions, ensuring precise control of the vehicle's direction of travel. In short, the adjustment locking mechanism is crucial for ensuring the safety performance of a motorcycle.

[0003] In the existing technology, the traditional motorcycle steering adjustment locking mechanism is mainly composed of two triangular plates, a steering column, and connecting parts. These components work together to ensure the normal operation of the entire mechanism.

[0004] However, when installing traditional motorcycle steering adjustment locking mechanisms, a certain tolerance gap needs to be reserved at the mating points of the steering column and components such as the triangle plate. During use, these gaps will inevitably cause collisions between components, leading to wear and tear. The gaps between components will increase with the time of use and the intensity of collisions, eventually damaging the mechanism. Therefore, this utility model proposes a novel motorcycle steering adjustment locking mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

In some instances, well-known methods and structures have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring these embodiments. Furthermore, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel motorcycle steering adjustment locking mechanism, the novel motorcycle steering adjustment locking mechanism includes: an upper connecting plate 1, the upper connecting plate 1 is sleeved on the upper end of the steering column 2, a fastening frame 3 is provided at the connection between the upper connecting plate 1 and the steering column 2, and a fastening screw 4 is provided inside the fastening frame 3.

[0025] The lower connecting plate 5 is located at the lower end of the steering column 2. Side fastening rings 7 are installed on both sides of the lower connecting plate 5, and a lower bearing 6 is provided at the upper end of the lower connecting plate 5.

[0026] In use, the upper connecting plate 1 can be fitted onto the upper end of the steering column 2. Since the fastening frame 3 on the surface of the upper connecting plate 1 is an open-loop structure, the tightness of the fastening frame 3 can be controlled by the fastening screw 4 on the side of the fastening frame 3. During installation, the upper connecting plate 1 and the steering column 2 are tightly fitted together without gaps through the cooperation of the fastening frame 3 and the fastening screw 4. At the same time, the side fastening ring 7 is also connected and fastened in this way when connecting to the motorcycle shock absorber, so that after assembly, it becomes a complete whole, eliminating the reserved gap, thus making the entire mechanism operate more safely and reliably. This avoids the problem of collision and wear caused by the reserved gap during assembly.

[0027] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a fastening frame 3 is provided to make the overall structure safer and more stable. The fastening frame 3 is fitted on the upper end of the steering column 2. A threaded hole is opened on the upper surface of the steering column 2. An installation screw 15 is screwed into the threaded hole, and the nut part of the installation screw 15 is stuck on the surface of the fastening frame 3.

[0028] The upper connecting plate 1 is in the shape of a triangular plate. Side fastening rings 7 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper connecting plate 1. The side fastening rings 7 are in the shape of an open ring. Several threaded holes are opened on the side of the side fastening rings 7. Fastening screws 4 are screwed into the threaded holes. Two sets of connecting blocks 8 are provided on the surface of the upper connecting plate 1. The two sets of connecting blocks 8 are in the shape of a symmetrical structure.

The inner wall of the connecting sleeve 10 fits against the outer wall of the steering column 2. The outer wall of the connecting sleeve 10 fits against the inner ring surface of the lower bearing 6. A connecting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the steering column 2.

[0030] When the connecting plate 1 is installed, since the fastening frame 3 on its surface has an open-loop structure, the gap reserved at the mating point between the fastening frame 3 and the steering column 2 can be eliminated by rotating the fastening screw 4 on the side of the fastening frame 3, so that the components do not collide or wear during use, thus achieving the stability of the overall structure.

[0031] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to extend the service life of the overall structure, an inner bowl 13 is provided. The inner bowl 13 is located directly above the upper bearing 12.

The inner thread of the clamping ring 14 is threadedly connected to the outer thread of the connecting pipe 11.

[0032] An upper bearing 12 is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe 11. The inner ring surface of the upper bearing 12 is in contact with the outer wall of the connecting pipe 11. A threaded ring is provided at one end of the connecting pipe 11 near the upper connecting plate 1. An inner cup 13 is installed above the upper bearing 12.

[0033] The inner cup 13, located between the upper bearing 12 and the clamping ring 14, can cooperate with the upper bearing 12 to protect the bearing from external dust, mud and moisture to a certain extent, extend the service life of the upper bearing 12, and thus improve the service life of the overall structure.

[0034] Working principle: In actual use, the upper connecting plate 1 can be fitted onto the upper end of the steering column 2. Since the fastening frame 3 on the surface of the upper connecting plate 1 is an open-loop structure, the tightness of the fastening frame 3 can be controlled by the fastening screw 4 on the side of the fastening frame 3. During installation, the cooperation between the fastening frame 3 and the fastening screw 4 will ensure that the upper connecting plate 1 and the steering column 2 are tightly fitted without gaps. At the same time, the side fastening ring 7 is also connected and fastened to the motorcycle shock absorber in this way, so that after assembly, it becomes a complete whole, eliminating the reserved gaps, thus making the entire mechanism operate more safely and reliably. This avoids the problem of collision and wear caused by the reserved gaps during assembly.

[0035] 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.
