Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tram technology, and in particular to a tram front fork shock absorber. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles, also known as trolleybuses, are pure electric motor vehicles powered by batteries and driven by DC, AC, series-wound, or separately excited electric motors. In recent years, they have become very popular in my country. Domestically, electric vehicles are mainly used for sightseeing, passenger transport, security patrols, and cargo transportation. Electric sightseeing vehicles are mainly used for passenger transport in parks, scenic spots, resorts, universities, hospitals, golf courses, real estate companies, and other places. Electric patrol vehicles are mainly used for security patrols in station squares and densely populated areas. Electric transport vehicles are mainly used in factories, ports, and logistics warehouses. Electric sanitation vehicles are mainly used for cleaning sites, washing roads, and transporting garbage.
[0003] During the operation of an electric bicycle, uneven road surfaces cause the wheels to experience various impacts and vibrations. The suspension system's role is to buffer and absorb these impacts and vibrations, ensuring the vehicle's stability. As a key component of the electric bicycle's front wheel suspension system, the front fork shock absorber not only supports the front wheel but also bears the heavy responsibility of steering and shock absorption. However, when facing complex road conditions, existing front fork shock absorber systems often have significant shortcomings, such as the inability to effectively absorb high-frequency impacts, resulting in poor vehicle stability and severely affecting rider comfort. Therefore, we propose an electric bicycle front fork shock absorber to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shock absorber for electric vehicle front forks to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A shock absorber for a front fork of an electric vehicle includes a front fork bracket. A positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the front fork bracket. Two buffer cylinders are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the front fork bracket. A limit block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the front fork bracket. Two limit holes are formed on the bottom surface of the limit block. A support rod is slidably connected inside each of the two limit holes. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each support rod. Two shock absorber bodies are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate. A buffer spring is provided inside each buffer cylinder. The top end of each buffer spring is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the front fork bracket. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each buffer spring, and the sliding plate is slidably connected to the buffer cylinder. The ends of the two support rods away from the limit block are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sliding plate. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each shock absorber body.
[0007] In a further embodiment, a reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fork bracket, and the inner ring of the reinforcing ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the positioning cylinder.
[0008] In a further embodiment, a reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to both the front and back of the limiting block, and the top of each reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fork bracket.
[0009] In a further embodiment, two reinforcing wedges are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate, and the sides of the two reinforcing wedges that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the supporting bent rod.
[0010] In a further embodiment, the outer surfaces of the two shock absorber bodies are jointly fixedly connected to a stabilizing plate, and the upper surface of the stabilizing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate.
[0011] In a further embodiment, each of the buffer cylinders is provided with a sealing gasket inside, the outer surface of each sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the buffer cylinder, and the inner ring of each sealing gasket is in contact with the outer surface of the supporting bent rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This device transmits vibration to the front fork bracket through the shock absorber body and the fixed plate. Then, the vibration is transmitted to the buffer spring in the buffer cylinder through the cooperation of the support rod and the sliding plate. The buffer spring buffers the impact force. At the same time, the two shock absorber bodies on the bottom of the fixed plate further absorb and convert the impact energy, reducing vibration transmission. Due to the cooperation of the support rod and the limiting hole, the sliding range of the sliding plate is limited to prevent structural damage. The sealing gasket ensures the airtightness of the buffer cylinder, preventing dust and impurities from entering, thereby improving the vehicle's driving stability and ride comfort.

A sliding plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each buffer spring 14, and the sliding plate 15 is slidably connected to the buffer cylinder 4. The ends of the two support rods 7 away from the limiting block 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sliding plate 15. A connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each shock absorber body 10.
[0021] A reinforcing ring 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fork bracket 1.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] When the tram travels on uneven roads, the impact force on the wheels is transmitted to the front fork bracket 1 through the shock absorber body 10 and the fixing plate 8. With the cooperation of the support rod 7 and the sliding plate 15, the vibration can be transmitted to the buffer spring 14 in the buffer cylinder 4, and the buffer spring 14 can buffer the impact force. At the same time, the two shock absorber bodies 10 set on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 8 further absorb and convert the impact energy, reducing the transmission of vibration. With the cooperation of the support rod 7 and the limiting hole 12, the sliding range of the sliding plate 15 is further limited to prevent structural damage. The sealing gasket 13 ensures the sealing of the buffer cylinder 4, preventing dust and impurities from entering, thereby improving the driving stability and riding comfort of the vehicle.
