Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bicycle technology, specifically a carbon fiber bicycle rear fork widening and adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] In the bicycle industry, carbon fiber, with its high strength and lightweight properties, has become an ideal material for high-end bicycle frames. However, the width of traditional carbon fiber bicycle rear forks is often fixed, which to some extent limits the flexibility of bicycle use. With the diversification of riding needs, users may want to change to different sizes of wheelsets or tires according to different road conditions, load requirements, or personal preferences. However, the fixed width of the rear fork cannot be adapted to wheelsets of different widths, causing many inconveniences for users. In addition, in some special scenarios, such as when carrying more items, a wider rear fork is also required to provide more space. Therefore, designing a device that can realize the width adjustment of carbon fiber bicycle rear forks has important practical significance and market value.
[0003] Meanwhile, the company also publicly disclosed (announcement number CN203528702U) a one-piece high wear-resistant carbon fiber bicycle rear fork, including the fork body. The fork body is an arc-shaped integral piece made of carbon fiber material. Its front part is set as a sprocket post with a bottom bracket hole at the top of the sprocket post. Its rear part is set as a double-sided fork post with a rear axle groove at the top of the fork post. Two disc brake holes are set on one side of the fork post, and the seat post is set on the middle arc back. Its beneficial effects are that it improves the high temperature resistance and friction resistance of the disc brake holes. At the same time, it changes the cumbersome and complex triangular structure of the rear wheel, sprocket, and saddle support frame into an integral arc-shaped structure, which not only reduces the number of parts but also improves the sturdiness. In addition, because carbon fiber is used as the integral material, the bicycle is not only extremely lightweight but also has greatly improved stress strength, thus improving the performance of the bicycle.
[0004] While carbon fiber boasts high strength, the aforementioned one-piece high-wear-resistant carbon fiber bicycle rear fork has poor impact resistance, making it prone to cracking or breakage, especially when struck by sharp objects or subjected to lateral impacts. For instance, significant bumps or collisions with obstacles during riding can damage the rear fork.
[0005] Therefore, a carbon fiber bicycle rear fork widening adjustment device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

Combined with the high strength characteristics of carbon fiber material itself, the overall structural strength is guaranteed.
[0027] In this embodiment, an adjusting block 12 is fixedly provided on the rear end face of the adjusting column 15, a nut 17 is spirally provided on the outer side of the lead screw 16, a rear fork body 20 is fixedly provided on the front end face of the nut 17, and a limiting plate 18 is fixedly provided on the left end face of the lead screw 16. The limiting plate 18 can prevent the lead screw 16 from moving excessively, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the device.
[0028] A fixing frame 19 is fixedly provided on the rear end face of the connecting block 9, a fixing plate 2 8 is fixedly provided on the right end face of the fixing frame 19, and a buffer post 6 is fixedly provided on the upper end face of the fixing plate 2 8. The buffer post 6 provides a buffering effect for the bicycle rear fork, which can reduce the impact force caused by road bumps during riding and improve riding comfort and stability.
[0029] A spring 7 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the buffer post 6, and the spring 7 is fixedly installed with the fixing plate 8. The upper end face of the buffer post 6 is fixedly installed with the fixing plate 3. The buffer performance of the buffer post 6 is further enhanced by the spring 7. When subjected to impact force, the spring 7 can absorb and disperse energy, effectively reducing damage to the rear fork and other parts of the bicycle.
[0030] Connecting plates 4 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the fixing plate 3. Threaded posts 5 are fixedly installed inside the connecting plates 4. The connecting plates 4 and the fixing plate 3 facilitate the connection between the fixing plate 3 and other components.
[0031] The fixed plate 3 is internally fixed with a support column 1, and the threaded column 5 is spirally connected to the support column 1. The lower end face of the support column 1 is fixed with a connecting pipe 2. The support column 1 further strengthens the supporting role of the fixed plate 3, making the entire buffer device more stable.
[0032] The fixed block 10 has a threaded hole 11 inside, and a threaded rod 13 is spirally provided inside the threaded hole 11. The threaded rod 13 passes through the adjusting block 12. Through the threaded rod 13 and the adjusting block 12, the adjusting block 12 can be precisely adjusted, thereby more accurately controlling the width of the rear fork and meeting the needs of different users.
[0033] Working principle and process of a carbon fiber bicycle rear fork widening adjustment device: In the initial state, the lead screw 16 is located outside the rotating shaft 14, the adjusting pin 15 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 16, and the nut 17 is also installed on the lead screw 16 and connected to the rear fork body 20. The limiting plate 18 is fixed to the left end face of the lead screw 16 to prevent excessive movement of the lead screw 16. When it is necessary to widen the bicycle rear fork, the operator rotates the lead screw 16. Since the lead screw 16 and the rotating shaft 14 are connected by a screw, the lead screw 16 will move left and right along the rotating shaft 14. As the lead screw 16 moves, the adjusting pin 15, which is connected to it by a screw, will also move accordingly. An adjusting block 12 is fixedly provided on the rear end face of the adjusting pin 15. The adjusting block 12 moves together with the adjusting column 15. The nut 17 on the outside of the lead screw 16 is fixedly connected to the rear fork body 20. The movement of the lead screw 16 will drive the nut 17 to move, thereby enabling the rear fork body 20 to be widened or narrowed. At the same time, the fixing block 10 has a threaded hole 11 inside, and a threaded rod 13 is spirally installed in the threaded hole 11. The threaded rod 13 passes through the adjusting block 12. During the adjustment process, the threaded rod 13 can guide and stabilize the movement of the adjusting block 12, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the adjustment process. The rear end face of the connecting block 9 is fixedly provided with a fixing bracket 19. A buffer post 6 is fixed to the fixing plate 2 8 on the right end face. A spring 7 is fixed to the outside of the buffer post 6, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixed to the fixing plate 2 8. A fixing plate 1 3 is fixed to the upper end face of the buffer post 6. When the bicycle encounters bumps or vibrations during riding, the impact force from the ground will be transmitted to the rear fork. At this time, the vibration of the rear fork will be transmitted to the fixing frame 19 through the connecting block 9, and then to the fixing plate 2 8. After the fixing plate 2 8 is vibrated, it will cause the buffer post 6 to move up and down. Since there is a spring 7 on the outside of the buffer post 6, the spring 7 will undergo elastic deformation during the movement of the buffer post 6, absorbing and buffering the vibration energy. The elasticity of spring 7 can effectively reduce the vibration transmitted to the bicycle frame, improving riding comfort and stability. Threaded posts 5 are fixed inside the connecting plates 4 on both sides of the fixing plate 3. The threaded posts 5 are spirally connected to the support posts 1. A connecting tube 2 is fixed to the lower end of the support posts 1. These components work together to connect and fix the buffer device to other parts of the bicycle. Furthermore, the spiral connection between the threaded posts 5 and the support posts 1 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different riding requirements and bicycle structures, thus functioning as a carbon fiber bicycle rear fork widening adjustment device.
