[0002] The bicycle fork is a key component of the bicycle structure. Located at the front of the bicycle, it connects the frame and the front wheel. Its main functions include supporting the front wheel, controlling steering, absorbing shocks, and improving riding comfort. The design and material selection of the fork are crucial to the overall performance of the bicycle and the riding experience.

[0003] A traditional bicycle fork consists of a vertical tube and two foot tubes, which are connected to the two sides of the vertical tube respectively. During installation, the sleeve in the middle of the front of the bicycle is placed on the vertical tube. After the sleeve is put on, the sleeve is tightened with screws, thereby achieving relative fixation between the vertical tube and the front of the bicycle.

[0004] A traditional bicycle fork consists of a vertical tube and two foot tubes, which are connected to both sides of the vertical tube. The foot tubes are equipped with fork legs. During installation, the vertical tube is connected to the handlebars and the frame, and the fork legs are connected to the connecting axle of the wheel assembly. The fork legs are then tightened using a wrench.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] A type of anti-detachment bicycle fork includes a vertical tube 1 and a foot tube 2. The foot tube 2 is fixedly connected to both sides of the vertical tube 1. A foot fork 3 is fixedly mounted on the foot tube 2. The foot fork 3 has an opening. A connecting shaft is mounted on the wheel assembly. The connecting shaft is locked to the opening of the foot fork 3. A fixing post 5 is fixedly mounted on the foot tube 2. A clearance groove is opened on the fixing post 5. A protective cover 7 is rotatably mounted on the clearance groove. A limit block 6 is fixedly mounted on the foot fork 3.

[0029] When in use, push the protective cover 7 so that it begins to rotate along the fixed post 5 until the side of the protective cover 7 abuts against the limiting block 6. At this time, the protective cover 7 covers the connection between the fork 3 and the wheel set. When subjected to an impact from an external force, the protective cover 7 can protect the connection, reduce the impact on the connection, prevent the connection between the fork 3 and the wheel set from loosening and falling off, and enhance the stability of the bicycle.

[0030] A sliding cavity is provided on one side of the opening of the foot fork 3. An outlet is provided on the sliding cavity. A baffle 8 is slidably arranged in the sliding cavity. A guide groove 10 is provided on the sliding cavity. A push-pull block 9 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 10. The push-pull block 9 is fixedly connected to the baffle 8. A clamping block 11 is provided on one side of the protective cover 7.

[0031] After the protective cover 7 is rotated, the clamping block 11 on the protective cover 7 also rotates. After the clamping block 11 rotates, it presses against the push-pull block 9, causing the push-pull block 9 to slide along the guide groove 10 under force. The baffle 8 in the sliding cavity begins to slide out from the outlet on the sliding cavity. When the push-pull block 9 slides to the bottom of the guide groove 10, the baffle 8 abuts against the other end of the opening, so that the opening is closed. The baffle 8 limits the connecting shaft in the opening. When the connection between the foot fork 3 and the wheel set becomes loose, the connecting shaft will not easily detach from the foot fork 3, further enhancing the anti-detachment performance of the foot fork 3.

[0032] The limiting block 6 is equipped with a magnetic block, and the protective cover 7 is made of metal. After the protective cover 7 rotates, it is attracted to the limiting block 6, so that the protective cover 7 can cover the foot fork 3 more stably, increasing the stability of the protective cover 7. The bottom of the protective cover 7 is equipped with a buffer washer 13, so that when the protective cover 7 is subjected to external impact, the buffer washer 13 can absorb part of the external force, increasing the protective performance of the protective cover 7. The upper surface of the protective cover 7 is equipped with anti-slip protrusions 12. By applying force to the anti-slip protrusions 12, the protective cover 7 will rotate, making the use of the protective cover 7 easier and less strenuous.

[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, push the protective cover 7 so that the protective cover 7 starts to rotate along the fixed post 5. After the protective cover 7 rotates, the abutting block 11 on the protective cover 7 also rotates. After the abutting block 11 rotates, it presses against the push-pull block 9, so that the push-pull block 9 is subjected to force and begins to slide along the guide groove 10. The baffle 8 in the sliding cavity begins to slide out from the outlet on the sliding cavity. When the push-pull block 9 slides to the bottom of the guide groove 10, the baffle 8 abuts against the other end of the opening, so that the opening is surrounded. The baffle 8 limits the connecting shaft in the opening. At this time, the side of the protective cover 7 abuts against the limiting block 6. The protective cover 7 covers the connection between the fork 3 and the wheel set. When subjected to the impact of external force, the protective cover 7 can protect the connection and reduce the impact on the connection. When the connection between the fork 3 and the wheel set becomes loose, the connecting shaft will not easily detach from the fork 3, thus enhancing the anti-detachment performance of the fork 3.
