Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shock absorber design, especially to a front fork oil pressure rod capable of quick locking and mute. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mountain bike front fork position generally installs the shock absorption structure, and the front fork shock absorption mostly adopts the oil pressure rod.

[0003] The prior art (publication number: CN222797823U, publication date: 2025.04.25) discloses a lockable oil pressure rod for bicycle, which is designed as a lockable oil pressure rod for bicycle, a reset elastic element is sleeved on the valve core, the valve core is locked by adjusting the bolt, the valve core is stably locked, and loosening is avoided.

[0004] In the above scheme, there is only one kind of damping oil in the oil pressure rod, and the damping oil has the characteristics that the greater the viscosity, the slower the flow rate, and vice versa. If the damping oil in the above scheme has high viscosity and slow flow rate, the bubbles generated after the piston moves quickly cannot be quickly gathered above the piston, and a large number of bubbles exist in the damping oil. Due to the compressibility of air, the piston can still be pressed for a distance after being locked, so the oil pressure rod will lose the locking function in a short time, and the bubbles can be gathered above the piston only after a long period of rest, at which time the locking function can be realized. If the damping oil has low viscosity and fast flow rate, the collision between gas and liquid during the rapid movement of the piston will produce a lot of noise, which seriously affects the riding experience of the rider.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a front fork oil pressure rod that has a quick locking function while reducing noise to optimize the driving experience of the rider. INVENTION CONTENTS
