Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical design technology, and in particular to a motorcycle steering lower linkage assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The connection between motorcycle steering and the lower control plate lies in the fact that the lower control plate is a crucial component of the steering system, responsible for connecting the front fork to the frame and playing a role in transmitting steering force and maintaining the stability of the front wheel. When steering, the steering force is transmitted to the lower control plate via the handlebars, and then from the lower control plate to the front fork and front wheel, thus adjusting the motorcycle's direction. Using a lower control plate offers several beneficial effects on motorcycle steering. First, it provides stronger support, making steering smoother and reducing deviation and vibration. Second, a well-designed lower control plate can effectively distribute steering force, improving steering agility and responsiveness, thereby enhancing handling performance and safety. Finally, using a high-quality lower control plate enhances the overall structural stability and extends the motorcycle's lifespan. In summary, the lower control plate plays a vital role in the motorcycle steering system, improving steering precision, stability, and safety.

[0003] The existing motorcycle steering lower clamp works primarily by connecting the front fork and frame, transmitting the rider's steering input to the front wheel. Specifically, when the rider turns the handlebars, the steering force is transmitted through the handlebars, steering shaft, and steering column to the lower clamp. The lower clamp then transmits this steering force to the front fork and front wheel, thus changing the direction of travel. The lower clamp is typically designed with a specific angle and support structure to ensure smooth force transmission and stable control of the front wheel during steering. Furthermore, the lower clamp must withstand impacts from the road surface and the motorcycle itself; therefore, its materials and design requirements are high to ensure stable steering performance during riding.

[0004] In existing technologies, some motorcycles use welding to connect the lower steering linkage and the steering column. While this method provides a certain degree of stability, it also introduces several significant problems. First, when the steering column needs replacement, disassembly and replacement become extremely difficult due to the inherent characteristics of welded connections, increasing the complexity of maintenance and repair. Second, the connection quality of welding is affected by multiple factors, such as the welding process and the thermal expansion characteristics of the materials. This can lead to instability or fatigue at the weld, thereby affecting the reliability and safety of the steering system. Therefore, this paper proposes a motorcycle steering linkage assembly to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a motorcycle steering lower coupling plate assembly, which aims to improve the existing technology where some motorcycle steering lower coupling plates and steering columns are connected by welding technology. This makes it difficult to replace the steering column when needed, and the welding technology is prone to unstable connection.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a motorcycle steering lower connecting plate assembly, including a first lower connecting plate and a second lower connecting plate, a locking mechanism is fixedly connected between the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate, a front shock absorber mounting mechanism is fixedly connected to both sides of the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate, and a steering column is slidably connected inside the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate;

[0007] The locking mechanism includes two mounting blocks, which are fixedly connected to the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate on the same side. A locking block is slidably connected inside the mounting block, and a return spring is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking block. The other end of the return spring is fixedly connected inside the mounting block.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the front shock absorber mounting mechanism includes four front shock absorber mounting rings, which are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate. Each front shock absorber mounting ring is fixedly connected to a connecting block, and the connecting block is provided with mounting screws inside.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: two positioning blocks are fixedly connected to the front sides of the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate, and the interior of the two positioning blocks has mounting through holes;

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the top of the first lower connecting plate is fixedly connected to two guide posts, both of which are square funnel-shaped blocks;

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the steering column, and a limit nut is threadedly connected to the outside of the steering column. The sealing ring is located at the top of the first lower connecting plate, and the limit nut is located at the bottom of the second lower connecting plate.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate are both provided with mounting grooves on their adjacent sides, the mounting block is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting groove, and the locking block is slidably connected to the mounting groove;

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a limiting groove is provided inside the steering column, and the locking block is slidably connected in the limiting groove;

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution: the mounting block has a guide groove inside, the reset spring is fixedly connected in the guide groove, and the locking block is slidably connected in the guide groove.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, first loosen the limiting nut located at the bottom of the steering column, then loosen the fixing screw between the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate, so that the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate are separated. Then pull the locking block located between the first lower connecting plate and the second lower connecting plate, so that the locking block is disengaged from the locking groove opened inside the steering column, thereby releasing the restriction on the steering column and realizing the replacement of the steering column. By replacing the aging or damaged steering column, the vibration and deviation generated by the motorcycle during driving can be reduced, and the steering sensitivity and comfort can be improved.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the original single lower control plate is transformed into a lower control plate composed of a first lower control plate and a second lower control plate combined with screws, thereby significantly enhancing the stability and strength of the steering system. By adopting the combined design of the first lower control plate and the second lower control plate, the transmission of steering force can be effectively dispersed, reducing the deformation and torsion of the steering system, thereby improving handling precision and comfort.

[0027] A sealing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the steering column 3. The sealing ring 4 is located at the top of the steering column 3 and plays a sealing role to prevent dust and moisture from entering the steering system and maintain the smooth operation of the steering column 3.
