Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of torsion detection technology, and in particular to a barrel torsion detection device. Background Technology

[0002] The thru-axle is a key component connecting the wheelset and fork of a modern bicycle. It has a robust, rod-like appearance and is made of high-strength alloy, ensuring durability. Compared to traditional quick-release systems, thru-axles offer significant advantages. During installation, the thru-axle is passed through the corresponding mounting points on the hub and fork, and then tightened using a special nut or quick-release lever. This process ensures a tight connection between the wheelset and fork, greatly enhancing overall rigidity. This results in more precise and responsive steering during riding. Even when facing severe bumps on rugged mountain roads or the powerful impacts of high-speed downhill descents, it maintains a stable connection between the wheel and fork, providing reliable riding safety and making every ride safer and more enjoyable.

[0003] The bicycle suspension fork insert is connected to the piston and damping structure of the fork, playing a crucial guiding role in the suspension process, providing support and protection, and having a more robust structure. When a bicycle encounters a bumpy road, the wheel is subjected to impact force, which is transmitted to the suspension fork insert. A high-quality suspension fork insert can significantly improve riding comfort. In off-road and mountain biking, it can effectively filter out road bumps and reduce the vibration transmitted to the rider's hands and body, allowing the rider to better control the bicycle and avoid danger due to hand fatigue or loss of control. However, the torsion condition of the notch in the bicycle suspension fork insert directly affects riding safety and fork performance. Excessive torsion in the insert notch can lead to an unstable fork installation, causing the wheel to wobble and shift during riding. Therefore, it is necessary to perform torsion testing on the insert. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a canister torsion detection device, which aims to improve the existing technology. The torsion of the canister notch of a bicycle suspension fork is directly related to riding safety and fork performance. Excessive torsion of the canister notch will cause the fork to be unstable, and the wheel will wobble or deviate during riding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a barrel torsion detection device, comprising a base, a vertical plate fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the base, an inclined plate fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate by bolts, a fixing block fixedly connected to the top surface of the inclined plate, a pad fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing block, a positioning block fixedly connected to the upper end of the top surface of the inclined plate, a front barrel fitting against the inner wall of the positioning block, a notch being provided at the lower end of the front barrel, a rotating cylinder fixedly connected to the front side of the top surface of the base, a locking block fixedly connected to one end of the rotating cylinder, and an adjustment mechanism provided on the bottom surface of the base for adjusting the height.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A surrounding plate is fixedly connected to the top edge of the base, and a discharge port is provided on the rear outer wall of the base.

[0010] A vertical pole is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, and a lamp holder is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical pole.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A control box is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the base, and multiple control buttons are provided on the top surface of the control box.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] An air pipe is provided on the outer wall of the base, and an air gun is provided at the other end of the air pipe.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A leak-proof plug is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the trachea, and the outer wall of the leak-proof plug is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] A fixed post is rotatably connected between two adjacent card blocks, and the bottom surface of the fixed post is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. In this utility model, the top connection of the front insertion barrel is placed inside the positioning block, and then the bottom end of the front insertion barrel is pressed down so that the notch is aligned with the locking block and locked. The rotating cylinder is started to make the locking block rotate. By increasing the torque, the notch is tested to see if it can withstand sufficient torsional force. The inclined plate is fixed by bolts. The position of the inclined plate can be adjusted by the sliding groove on the outer wall of the inclined plate. The fixing block and the pad block can adjust the placement angle of the front insertion barrel so that the notch can be better locked.

[0021] 2. In this utility model, when it is necessary to adjust the angle of the base, the nut is rotated. Since the weight of the base is borne by the lead screw, the lead screw is fixed. When the nut is rotated, the lead screw will not rotate. The lead screw moves vertically. When the lead screw moves upward, the height decreases. The cooperation between the base and the ball head can adapt to various terrains and make the equipment more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 4 The adjusting mechanism 2 includes a lead screw 201, the outer wall of the lead screw 201 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 1, a nut 202 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 201, the top surface of the nut 202 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the base 1, a ball head 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the lead screw 201, a foot 204 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the ball head 203, and an anti-slip pad 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the foot 204.

[0033] Specifically, the lead screw 201 can slide with the inner wall of the base 1, ensuring the flexible movement of the mechanism. To achieve the lifting function, a nut 202 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 201.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 A surrounding plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top edge of the base 1. A discharge port 21 is provided on the rear outer wall of the base 1. A vertical pole 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1.
