[0025] Referring to Figures 1-7 A vehicle suspension swing arm structure, including swing arm 1, longitudinal beam 2 and shock absorber 3 and two groups of buffer components, the surface of swing arm 1 is provided with first through port, the surface of longitudinal beam 2 is provided with second through port, one end of shock absorber 3 passes through first through port and is connected with swing arm 1, and the other end passes through second through port and is fixedly connected with vehicle body, and buffer component includes two arc plates 4 and multiple buffer springs 5, and multiple buffer springs 5 are vertically fixedly installed between two arc plates 4.

[0026] The lower surface of the longitudinal beam 2 and the upper surface of the swing arm 1 are both provided with annular grooves 6 for inserting two arc-shaped plates 4, and the annular grooves 6 located above are symmetrically provided with vertical rods 7; the surface of one of the arc-shaped plates 4 is provided with through holes 8 for the vertical rods 7 to pass through; the bottom end of the vertical rod 7 is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting groove is provided with a limiting assembly for limiting the vertical movement of the arc-shaped plate 4; the limiting assembly comprises a mounting rod 9 vertically fixedly installed in the mounting groove and two limiting blocks 10 with a vertical section of a right trapezoid; the surface of the vertical rod 7 is symmetrically provided with sliding openings, and the two limiting blocks 10 are respectively slidably arranged in the sliding openings; and the surface of the mounting rod 9 is fixedly connected with one side of each of the two limiting blocks 10 through an elastic component; the elastic component comprises a spring rod 11, and the two ends of the spring rod 11 are respectively fixedly connected with the limiting block 10 and the mounting rod 9; the bottom end of the limiting block 10 is fixedly provided with a straight rod 12, and the distance between the two straight rods 12 located at the bottom end of the vertical rod 7 is smaller than the diameter of the vertical rod 7; and the distance between the upper surface of the limiting block 10 and the groove wall of the annular groove 6 located above the limiting block 10 is matched with the thickness of the arc-shaped plate 4.

[0027] When the two sets of buffer components are installed, first, the through holes 8 provided on the surfaces of the two arc-shaped plates 4 are respectively aligned with the two vertical rods 7, and then the two vertical rods 7 are respectively passed through the two through holes 8; in this process, the hole wall of the through hole 8 is in sliding contact with the inclined surface of the limiting block 10; under the abutting action of the inclined surface, the two limiting blocks 10 are close to each other, and the plurality of spring rods 11 are also contracted; until the arc-shaped plate 4 enters the annular groove 6 provided on the lower surface of the longitudinal beam 2, at this time, the through hole 8 is no longer in contact with the limiting block 10, and the abutting force applied to the limiting block 10 also disappears; the limiting block 10 is quickly moved and reset under the elastic potential energy of the spring rod 11, the upper surface of the limiting block 10 is abutted with the lower surface of the arc-shaped plate 4, so as to lock the arc-shaped plate 4 located above in the annular groove 6 located above, and limit the vertical movement of the arc-shaped plate 4; then, the two arc-shaped plates 4 located below are placed in the annular groove 6 provided on the upper surface of the swing arm 1, and the installation is completed.
