[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, and in particular to a damping and shock absorption structure for the front fork of an electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicles, also known as battery-powered vehicles, are pure electric motor vehicles powered by batteries and driven by electric motors in DC, AC, series, and separately excited modes. In recent years, they have become very popular in my country. Domestically, battery-powered vehicles are mainly used for sightseeing, passenger transport, security patrols, and cargo handling. 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, docks, and logistics warehouses.

[0003] Electric vehicles, as a green and low-carbon mode of transportation, have gained increasing popularity among consumers. The front fork of an electric vehicle is one of the key components, supporting not only the front wheel but also serving important functions such as steering and shock absorption. However, its shock absorption is poor under complex road conditions, failing to effectively absorb high-frequency impacts, resulting in poor vehicle stability and reduced rider comfort. To address these issues, we propose a damping shock absorption structure for the front fork of an electric vehicle. Utility Model Content

A pneumatic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the front fork bracket 1, and the outer surface of the pneumatic cylinder 6 is fixedly... Each protective cylinder 5 is connected to an exhaust nozzle 8. Each protective cylinder 5 has a spring 13 inside.

A support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning plate 11. An air pressure pad 15 is provided inside the air pressure cylinder 6. The outer surface of the air pressure pad 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the air pressure cylinder 6. The top of the support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the air pressure pad 15. The telescopic end of each damper 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the positioning plate 11.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a reinforcing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the front fork bracket 1, and the inner ring of the reinforcing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the positioning rod 3.

[0023] In this embodiment, the reinforcing ring 4 facilitates the reinforcement of the positioning rod 3, thereby enhancing the stability of the positioning rod 3.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom surface of the front fork bracket 1 is fixedly connected to two snap-fit ​​recesses 7. The ends of the two snap-fit ​​recesses 7 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the air cylinder 6, and the ends of the two snap-fit ​​recesses 7 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective cylinder 5.

[0025] In this embodiment, the provided snap-fit ​​recess 7 and positioning ring 9 can respectively reinforce the air cylinder 6 and the protective cylinder 5, further enhancing the stability of the air cylinder 6 and the protective cylinder 5, and ensuring the stability of the air cylinder 6.
