Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle front shock absorbers, and more particularly to an adjustable preload motorcycle front shock absorber. Background Technology

[0002] The front shock absorber is a crucial component of the motorcycle suspension system. Its primary function is to reduce the impact of road imperfections and potholes on the front of the motorcycle, creating a smooth ride. The working principle of a motorcycle front shock absorber involves three key elements: springs, dampers, and air pressure. Springs absorb the energy generated by the motorcycle's vertical movement, dampers control the spring's speed by generating resistance, and air pressure adjusts the shock absorber's stiffness. The design of a motorcycle front shock absorber must meet various requirements, including improving ride comfort, protecting cargo, reducing stress on various parts of the motorcycle body, increasing component lifespan, and enhancing tire grip. These requirements ensure the shock absorber's effectiveness under different driving conditions.

[0003] The installation process of some existing motorcycle front shock absorbers is quite cumbersome, making it inconvenient for users to install them in their daily work and affecting their work efficiency. Therefore, we propose an adjustable preload motorcycle front shock absorber to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable preload motorcycle front shock absorber to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable preload motorcycle front shock absorber includes: a shock absorber body; an adjusting block slidably connected to the inner top of the shock absorber body; a shock-absorbing spring fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting block; a mounting block fixedly connected to the other end of the shock-absorbing spring; a first shell fixedly connected to the bottom of the shock absorber body; a second shell fixedly connected to the bottom of the first shell; a second roller rotatably connected to the inner top of the second shell; a square plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the second roller; two connecting posts fixedly connected to the bottom of the square plate; connecting rods rotatably connected to the outer sides of the two connecting posts; insert blocks rotatably connected to the other ends of the two connecting rods; and sliding holes adapted to the insert blocks are opened on both inner walls of the shock absorber body; the outer sides of the two insert blocks are slidably connected to the inner sides of the corresponding sliding holes.

[0007] Preferably, a third roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the second shell, a second worm is fixedly connected to the outer side of the third roller, a second worm wheel is meshed on the outer side of the second worm, and the inner side of the second worm wheel is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second roller.

The outer side of the small bolt is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding hole, and a nut is threadedly connected to the outer side of the small bolt. One side of the nut is movably abutting against one side of the L-shaped block.

[0009] Preferably, two screws are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the first shell, and a first worm gear is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two screws. A first worm is meshed with the outer side of each of the two first worm gears, and the same first roller is fixedly connected to the inner side of each of the two first worms. The outer side of the first roller is rotatably connected inside the first shell.

[0010] Preferably, a No. 1 handwheel is provided on one side of the No. 1 housing, the inner side of the No. 1 handwheel is fixedly connected to the outer side of the No. 1 roller, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the No. 1 housing. A fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the inner side of the connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, short blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjusting block, and the inner sides of the two short blocks are threaded to the outer sides of the corresponding screws.

[0012] In this utility model, an adjustable preload motorcycle front shock absorber is installed by fixing the mounting block 5 to one side of the vehicle with fastening bolts, and then installing the bottom of the device to the vehicle. During installation, the second handwheel 19 is turned, causing the third roller 16 to start rotating, which causes the second worm gear 15 to start rotating. As the second worm gear 15 rotates, the second worm wheel 14 drives the second roller 13 to rotate, which causes the square plate to drive the connecting rod 17 to start rotating, thereby causing the insert block 18 to start moving horizontally. At this time, the insert block 18 enters the corresponding mounting groove inside the vehicle.

[0013] In this utility model, an adjustable preload motorcycle front shock absorber is installed by tightening a nut onto a small bolt and having the nut abut against one side of an L-shaped block 20. When the preload of the shock absorber needs to be adjusted, the first handwheel 11 is turned, causing the first roller 10 to rotate. Subsequently, the first worm gear 9 drives the first worm wheel 8 to rotate, which causes the screw 7 to rotate. This causes the adjusting block 6 to move vertically, thereby compressing the shock absorber spring 4. Then, the fixing bolt 12 is inserted into the corresponding round hole and tightened to the connecting block, thus completing the preload adjustment of the shock absorber.

[0014] This utility model has a reasonable structural design. Through the cooperation between the connecting rod, the second handwheel, the second worm gear, the second worm, and the insert block, the shock absorber body can be easily fixed to the vehicle. This allows users to quickly install it to the vehicle when needed, further improving the user's work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The outer side of the small bolt is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding hole. A nut is threadedly connected to the outer side of the small bolt. The nut moves against one side of the L-shaped block 20, which allows the No. 2 handwheel 19 to be fixed in this position.

[0023] In this embodiment, two screws 7 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the first shell 2. A first worm gear 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two screws 7. A first worm 9 is meshed with the outer side of each of the two first worm gears 8. The same first roller 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of each of the two first worm 9. The outer side of the first roller 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first shell 2. A first handwheel 11 is provided on one side of the first shell 2. The inner side of the first handwheel 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first roller 10.

As the second worm gear 15 rotates, the second worm wheel 14 drives the second roller 13 to rotate, causing the square plate to drive the connecting rod 17 to rotate. This causes the insertion block 18 to begin horizontal movement. At this time, the insertion block 18 enters the corresponding mounting slot on the vehicle. Then, the nut is tightened on the small bolt, and... The nut abuts against one side of the L-shaped block 20, thus completing the installation between the device and the vehicle. When it is necessary to adjust the preload of the shock absorber, turn the first handwheel 11 to make the first roller 10 start to rotate. Then, the first worm 9 drives the first worm wheel 8 to rotate, which makes the screw 7 start to rotate. This causes the adjusting block 6 to start to move vertically, so that the shock absorber spring 4 can be compressed. Then, insert the fixing bolt 12 into the corresponding round hole and tighten the fixing bolt 12 with the connecting block. At this time, the preload adjustment of the shock absorber is completed.
