Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle frame technology, specifically to a rear triangle lower bridge plate of a bicycle frame. Background Technology
[0002] The frame, as the skeleton of the entire bicycle, largely determines and influences the correctness and comfort of riding posture. The frame components are the basic structural elements of the bicycle, its skeleton and main body; other components are directly or indirectly mounted on the frame. The rear fork consists of two parts: the top fork and the bottom fork. The top fork, similar to the human shoulder blade, extends from the top of the seatpost to near the rear axle, its main function being to absorb ground vibrations and improve riding comfort. The bottom fork, designed like a calf muscle, is located below the chain, close to the rear wheel, responsible for accurately and efficiently transmitting the torque generated during pedaling to the rear wheel, while also bearing the important responsibility of absorbing road impacts.
[0003] There are two connection methods between the rear triangle lower bridge and the rear stay in the existing technology. One is a direct fixed connection, which is suitable for riding on flat roads, such as road riding. The other is a movable connection, where a shock absorber is installed at the connection point. This type of frame is used for riding on bumpier roads, such as mountain biking. Frames used for mountain biking are frequently subjected to collisions during riding, so their shock absorbers are easily damaged. In addition, the dust in mountain biking can easily contaminate the shock absorbers and affect their service life. Therefore, a new type of rear triangle lower bridge is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a rear triangle lower bridge plate for a bicycle frame. During use, by installing protective covers and rear upper forks on both sides of the mounting groove, it can prevent damage to the shock absorber when it is impacted during riding, and can also prevent dust from entering the shock absorber during riding, thus preventing the shock absorber from being contaminated by dust and affecting its service life.
[0031] By sliding the protective cover into the mounting groove and the sliding groove, the protective cover can be moved into the inner cavity of the sliding groove when maintenance or inspection is required, and then moved back into the inner cavity of the mounting groove after maintenance or inspection is completed, which greatly improves the efficiency of maintenance and inspection.
[0032] Figures 1-5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the first embodiment of the rear triangle lower axle plate of the present invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-5 The main body of the rear triangle lower bridge plate of the frame in this embodiment includes a center tube 100.
[0033] A rear lower bridge plate 110 is rotatably connected to the middle tube 100. A rear upper fork 140 is installed and connected to the rear lower bridge plate 110. The rear upper fork 140 has a mounting groove 150 and a sliding groove 160. A shock absorber 200 is installed in the mounting groove 150. The bottom of the shock absorber 200 is connected to the rear lower bridge plate 110, and the top of the shock absorber 200 is connected to the mounting groove 150. A protective cover 170 is installed on the outside of the mounting groove 150.
[0034] A connecting rod 120 and a hook fixing hole 130 are installed on the rear lower bridge piece 110. The connecting rod 120 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the shock absorption assembly 200. The sliding groove 160 is located above the mounting groove 150, and the protective cover 170 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 150 and the sliding groove 160.
[0035] The center tube 100 is used to connect the lower rear bridge plate 110 and the upper rear fork 140. The lower rear bridge plate 110 is used to install the connecting rod 120 and to have a pawl fixing hole 130. The connecting rod 120 is used to rotatably connect with the shock absorber assembly 200. The pawl fixing hole 130 is used to fix the pawl with bolts when installing the pawl. The mounting groove 150 is used to support the shock absorber assembly 200 and to support the protective cover 170 for sliding. The sliding groove 160 is used to support the protective cover 170 when the shock absorber assembly 200 is being repaired or inspected. Since the shock absorber assembly 200 is located inside the mounting groove 150 and the mounting groove 150 is protected by the protective cover 170, the shock absorber assembly 200 is protected by the upper rear fork 140 and the protective cover 170 when it is impacted during riding, which can prevent damage from impact. When the shock absorber needs to be repaired or inspected, the protective cover 170 needs to be slid into the inner cavity of the sliding groove 160 to fully expose the mounting groove 150. Then, the movable plate 280 can be disassembled to remove the shock absorber 230, which facilitates the repair. After the repair and inspection are completed, the protective cover 170 can be slid back into the mounting groove 150, which greatly improves the efficiency of repair and inspection.
[0036] The shock absorption assembly 200 includes a lower bushing 210, a lower connecting rod 220 connected to the lower bushing 210, and a shock absorber 230 mounted above the lower connecting rod 220. An upper connecting rod 240 is connected above the shock absorber 230, and an upper bushing 250 is connected above the upper connecting rod 240. The upper bushing 250 is connected to a shaft 260, and a fixed plate 270 and a movable plate 280 are mounted at both ends of the shaft 260. The fixed plate 270 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 150, and the movable plate 280 is mounted at the other end of the shaft 260, and is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 150 by screws. The lower bushing 210 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 120, and the upper bushing 250 is rotatably connected to the shaft 260.
[0037] The shock absorber assembly 200 is used to reduce the vibration of the frame. The lower bushing 210 is used to rotatably connect with the connecting rod 120. When the rear lower axle 110 is vibrated, the vibration is transmitted to the shock absorber assembly 200 through the connecting rod 120, the lower bushing 210 and the lower connecting rod 220. The shock absorber 230 can reduce the vibration of the frame. The lower connecting rod 220 is used to connect the lower bushing 210 and the shock absorber 230. The upper connecting rod 240 is used to connect the upper bushing 250 and the shock absorber 230. The shaft 260 is used to connect the upper bushing 250 and the fixing plate 270. The fixing plate 270 is used to fix one end of the shaft 260, so that the shaft 260 is fixed in the inner cavity of the mounting groove 150. The movable plate 280 is used to fix the mounting groove 150 with screws to prevent the upper bushing 250 from slipping off the shaft 260, which would cause the upper end of the shock absorber 230 to move and cause the shock absorber 230 to malfunction.
[0038] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
