[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle frames, and in particular to a rear shock-absorbing folding bicycle frame with a four-sided pyramidal structure. Background Technology
[0002] The top of the bicycle's bottom tube connects to the saddle, and the bottom connects to the pedal axles. The frame between the bottom tube and the front wheel is called the front frame, and the frame between the bottom tube and the rear wheel is called the rear frame. Bicycle frame shock absorption is primarily achieved through shock absorbers. The installation location of shock absorbers varies, and the bicycle frame structure and shock absorber installation need to be properly matched to ensure both the frame's strength and the optimal shock absorption performance of the shock absorbers. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to optimize the matching structure of bicycle frames and shock absorbers in the existing technology, and to propose a rear shock-absorbing folding frame with a four-sided pyramid structure, which can ensure the strength of the bicycle frame and also better utilize the shock absorption performance of the shock absorber.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a four-sided pyramidal structure rear shock-absorbing folding frame, including a front frame, a center tube, a rear frame, a shock absorber, and an axle cylinder. The front frame is connected to the front side of the center tube. One end of the shock absorber is hinged to the upper rear side of the center tube. The axis of the axle cylinder is perpendicular to the axis of the center tube and welded and fixed to the rear side of the bottom end of the center tube. The upper side of the rear frame is connected to the other end of the shock absorber, and the lower side of the rear frame is rotatably connected to the axle cylinder. The rear frame includes a left frame and a right frame. The shock absorber includes a shock absorber head, a shock absorber tail, an elastic body, and a bolt shaft. The shock absorber head includes a hollow tubular body and a hinge joint at one end of the body. The hinge joint has a hinge through hole and a threaded hole. The axis of the hinge through hole is perpendicular to the axis of the body. The threaded hole axis is coaxial with the cylinder axis. The shock absorber tail includes a telescopic tube and a connecting tube connected in a three-way tubular shape. One end of the telescopic tube is provided with a sealing plate and extends into the shock absorber head cylinder. The sealing plate has a screw through hole in the middle. The other end of the telescopic tube is connected and communicates with the middle of the connecting tube. The connecting tube has an operating through hole on the other side opposite to the connecting telescopic tube. The connecting tube is connected to the upper side of the rear frame. The bolt shaft passes through the operating through hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole through the screw through hole to connect the shock absorber tail and the shock absorber head. The elastic body is provided inside the shock absorber head cylinder. The bolt shaft passes through the middle of the elastic body. The two ends of the elastic body are respectively attached to the shock absorber head hinge joint and the sealing plate of the shock absorber tail telescopic tube.
[0005] This design employs an improved shock absorber structure. The shock absorber is located between the rear frame and the center tube. When vibration occurs, the shock absorber rotates around the axle tube as the center of rotation. The rear frame connects to the shock absorber's tail, driving the telescopic tube to extend and retract within the shock absorber's head cylinder. Under the action of the elastic body, the shock absorption effect is achieved. During the extension and retraction of the telescopic tube, the cylinder also has a small rotation angle, which is achieved through the hinge joint with the center tube. The rear frame includes the left frame and the right frame. The end faces of the left and right frames that are close to the center tube, the center tube, the shock absorber, and the axle tube form a four-sided pyramid-like structure, including a top shock-absorbing surface, a right-side force-generating surface, a left-side force-generating surface, and a bottom bearing surface. This is a relatively stable structure, and the shock absorber can also perform well in terms of shock absorption.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the top of the left and right frames near the center tube are connected by two fixing plates. The connecting tube of the shock absorber tail is located between the two fixing plates and connected to them. The bottom of the left and right frames near the center tube are respectively provided with axle lugs, which are connected to both ends of the axle cylinder. In this design, the left and right frames near the center tube are vertically connected, resulting in a robust and strong structure.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the left frame includes a left upper fork, a left insert, a left lower fork, and a left connecting rod; the right frame includes a right upper fork, a right insert, a right lower fork, and a right connecting rod. One end of the left upper fork and the left lower fork are connected via the left insert, and the other end of the left upper fork is connected to one end of the left connecting rod. The other ends of the left lower fork and the left connecting rod are each connected to a lug. One end of the right upper fork and the right lower fork are connected via the right insert, and the other end of the right upper fork is connected to one end of the right connecting rod. The other ends of the right lower fork and the right connecting rod are each connected to another lug. The connection ends of the left upper fork and the left connecting rod, and the connection ends of the right upper fork and the right connecting rod are connected to each other via two fixing plates.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a mounting seat is provided at the hinge point between the upper rear side of the middle tube and the rear frame. The mounting seat has a U-shaped groove, and the hinge joint is located in the U-shaped groove and hinged to the mounting seat via a pin. In this embodiment, the mounting seat is welded and fixed to the middle tube, and the hinge joint is inserted into the U-shaped groove on the mounting seat and then connected by a pin, so that the hinge joint and the mounting seat form a hinge, and the hinge joint can rotate.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a foot support is provided at the bottom of the rear frame near the center tube. This foot support serves two purposes: firstly, it connects to the foot support; secondly, it acts as a reinforcing plate connecting to the bottom of the rear frame, thus structurally strengthening the bottom of the rear frame.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rear frame has axle lugs on both sides of its lower side. These lugs are respectively fitted against both sides of the axle cylinder and rotatably connected to the cylinder via a set of locking screws. Each locking screw includes a first connecting sleeve, a second connecting sleeve, and a fixing bolt. The first and second connecting sleeves extend into the cylinder from both sides, and the fixing bolt passes through either the first or second connecting sleeve and is threadedly fixed to the other connecting sleeve. In this embodiment, the first and second connecting sleeves are fixedly connected to the axle lugs, and the fixing bolt connects them together. The first and second connecting sleeves are rotatably connected to the axle cylinder, allowing the rear frame to rotate at a small angle around the axle cylinder, thus cooperating with the shock absorber to achieve a shock absorption effect.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the elastic body is a compression spring or an elastic rubber sleeve. Both the compression spring and the elastic rubber sleeve have a through hole in the middle, facilitating the passage of the bolt shaft for threaded connection with the hinge joint. Both the compression spring and the elastic rubber sleeve are commonly used elastic materials.
