Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a motorcycle assembly tool, and more particularly to an assembly platform that is easy to adapt to different motorcycle front fork shock absorbers. Background Technology
[0002] As a critical vibration damping component, the performance and assembly precision of the motorcycle front fork shock absorber directly affect the overall riding stability and comfort of the vehicle. During shock absorber assembly, a dedicated assembly table is typically required for precise positioning and fixation to facilitate subsequent component installation and assembly adjustments. Especially in front fork shock absorption systems, the structure of the shock absorber mounting bracket, the hole spacing, and the installation height of the shock absorber body vary significantly across different vehicle models, necessitating the use of assembly tools of different specifications. Current technology commonly employs dedicated assembly tables for different shock absorber models. These assembly tables are typically monolithic, with the upper and lower plates fixed to the positioning structure, lacking flexible interchangeability and making it difficult to adapt to rapid switching between various shock absorber specifications. When production tasks frequently change vehicle models or involve small-batch, multi-variety production, numerous assembly tables of varying specifications are required, consuming significant space resources and incurring substantial equipment investment costs.

The shock absorber fixture upper plate 1 and shock absorber fixture lower plate 3 with different hole spacing can be replaced according to the different hole spacing of the different shock absorber cylinder fixing brackets 7, and the overhead vertical plate 2 with different height can be replaced according to the different installation height of the shock absorber cylinder fixing brackets 7 relative to the shock absorber 5. This utility model provides a modular assembly platform that is easy to adapt to different motorcycle front fork shock absorbers through the modular combination structure of the upper plate 1, lower plate 3 and overhead vertical plate 2 of the shock absorber tooling. It solves the problem in the prior art that due to the large differences in the hole spacing and installation height of the shock absorber cylinder fixing bracket, multiple overall assembly platforms are required, resulting in high cost and low switching efficiency.
[0022] The assembly relationship and assembly method of the various plates of the shock absorber fixture upper plate 1, the overhead vertical plate 2, the shock absorber fixture lower plate 3, and the base plate 4 are as follows:
[0023] Assembly of the overhead vertical plate 2 and the lower plate 3 of the shock absorber fixture: The overhead vertical plate 2 of appropriate height is composed of a side vertical plate 21 and a middle vertical plate 22. The lower end face of the overhead vertical plate 2 is provided with a second screw hole group 24. The second screw hole group 24 at its lower end is aligned with the second countersunk screw hole group 33 on the lower plate 3 of the shock absorber fixture. The bolts (e.g., M5×16) are passed from bottom to top through the internal threads of the second countersunk hole group 33 and the second screw hole group 24 to achieve a reliable connection between the overhead vertical plate 2 and the lower plate 3.
[0024] Assembly of base plate 4 and shock absorber fixture lower plate 3: According to the hole spacing of the cylinder block fixing bracket 7 of the shock absorber to be assembled, select the shock absorber fixture lower plate 3 with the corresponding hole spacing and place it on the base plate 4. The base plate 4 has a third countersunk screw hole group 41, and the shock absorber fixture lower plate 3 has a third screw hole group 34. Make the third screw hole group 34 on the shock absorber fixture lower plate 3 correspond to the third countersunk screw hole group 41 in the base plate 4. Then, use bolts M×L (e.g., M6×20) to pass through the third countersunk hole group 41 from bottom to top and screw them into the internal threads of the third screw hole group 34 to complete the screw connection between the shock absorber fixture lower plate 3 and the base plate 4.
[0025] Assembly of the overhead vertical plate 2 and the upper plate 1 of the shock absorber fixture: Select the matching upper plate 1 of the shock absorber fixture according to the lower plate 3 of the shock absorber fixture. The upper plate 1 of the shock absorber fixture is provided with a first countersunk screw hole group 13, and the upper end face of the overhead vertical plate 2 is provided with a first screw hole group 23. Align the first countersunk screw hole group 13 at the lower end of the upper plate 1 with the first screw hole group 23 at the upper end of the overhead vertical plate 2, insert the bolts (e.g., M5×12) from top to bottom, and tighten the nuts to screw the upper plate 1 and the overhead vertical plate 2 into one piece.
[0026] Shock absorber positioning and fixing: The shock absorber cylinder mounting bracket 7 is placed on the upper end face of the upper plate 1 of the shock absorber fixture. The shock absorber 5 to be assembled is then vertically inserted sequentially into the shock absorber cylinder mounting holes of the mounting bracket 7, the upper positioning hole group 11 of the upper plate 1, and the lower positioning hole group 31 of the lower plate 3. The shock absorber cylinder is then tightly fitted against the edges of the two positioning holes, and the fixing mechanism of the shock absorber cylinder mounting bracket 7 is locked. This ensures accurate positioning of the shock absorber in both the horizontal and vertical directions, completing the installation and locking process. The steering column 6 passes through the shock absorber cylinder mounting bracket 7 and is positioned at the steering column notch 12 on the upper plate 1 and the steering column notch 32 on the lower plate 3.
[0027] To assemble cylinder block mounting brackets with different hole spacings, simply replace the upper tooling plate 1 and lower tooling plate 3 with the corresponding hole spacing, and quickly reassemble them according to the steps above. If the installation height needs to be adjusted, simply replace the overhead vertical plate 2 with one of different heights. The switching can be completed in a few minutes, significantly improving production flexibility and equipment utilization.
[0028] 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 conflict in the mechanism, the features in the embodiments disclosed in the present 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.
