Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mounting base, and more particularly to a mounting base for mounting a front shock absorber. Background Technology

[0002] Front shock absorber mounting brackets are typically formed using mold casting, followed by subsequent machining such as drilling. In existing technology, the mold opening direction in the casting process of the front shock absorber mounting bracket is parallel to the extension direction of the front shock absorber after installation (top and bottom mold opening). This design results in uneven wall thickness and a heavier weight for the front shock absorber mounting bracket. Furthermore, due to manufacturing limitations, existing front shock absorber mounting brackets generally have a U-shaped cross-section, which results in weak structural strength and a tendency for stress concentration and other problems.
