As shown in fig. 2, the second steering linkage assembly further includes: a second transfer lever 4031 and a second tie rod 4032; the first end of the second switching lever 4031 is connected to the second end of the transverse shaft 404, and the second end of the second switching lever 4031 is connected to the motorcycle front wheel 1 and the steering mechanism 5 through the second steering link 4032, so that the movement of the right side of the vehicle body transmitted from the transverse shaft 404 drives the motorcycle front wheel 1 to move. In this embodiment, the second steering rod 4032 is connected to the second adapter rod 4031, the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle, and the steering mechanism 5 by ball joints.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the steering mechanism 5 further includes: a primary knuckle 501, a secondary knuckle 502, a primary rocker arm 503, and a secondary rocker arm 504. Wherein, the first end of the main steering knuckle 501 is connected with the second switching lever 4031 through the second steering rod 4032, the second end is in transmission connection with the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle, and the third end is in transmission connection with the auxiliary steering knuckle 502; the first end of the main rocker arm 503 is in transmission connection with the second end of the auxiliary knuckle 502, and the second end of the main rocker arm is connected with the frame 2; the first end of the auxiliary rocker arm 504 is drivingly connected to the third end of the auxiliary knuckle 502 and the second end is connected to the frame 2. As shown in fig. 2, the sub-knuckle 502, the main rocker 503, the sub-rocker 504, and the frame 2 form a four-bar linkage structure.
In this embodiment, the primary rocker arm 503 is connected to the secondary knuckle 502 by a bushing, the axis of which is parallel to the axial direction of the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle.
In the embodiment, the main steering knuckle 501 is in transmission connection with the auxiliary steering knuckle 502 through a first spherical hinge, and the main steering knuckle 501 is in transmission connection with the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle through a second spherical hinge; and the extension line of the two ball center connecting lines of the first ball hinge and the second ball hinge intersects with the central plane of the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle and the horizontal ground, so as to ensure that braking steering caused by torque generated by braking force on the main pin of the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle is avoided when the vehicle brakes.
As shown in fig. 2, the inboard extension lines of the second tie rod 4032, the primary rocker arm 503, and the secondary rocker arm 504 intersect at a point. Meanwhile, the first ends of the three connecting rods are all positioned on the same straight line, and the connecting lines of the first ends of the three connecting rods are just parallel to the axial direction of the main pin of the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle; the second ends of the three connecting rods are all positioned on the other straight line, so that the first end of the second steering pull rod 4032 is unchanged relative to the main pin position of the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle in the jumping process of the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle, and the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle is prevented from jumping and steering.
Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 2, the connecting lines of the second ends of the three connecting rods form an inclination angle of about 20 degrees with the vertical direction, and the inclination angle is the back inclination angle of the kingpin of the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle, so that the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle can automatically return to the right for improving the steering stability of the vehicle.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, when the front wheel 1 of the motorcycle is excited to jump up by the wheel surface, the auxiliary knuckle 502 is driven to move, and the main rocker 503 and the auxiliary rocker 504 rock around the rotation shafts of the respective frames 2. This structure moves the instantaneous roll axis of the motorcycle front wheel 1 from the main rocker 503 rotation axis to the intersection of the extension lines of the main rocker 503 and the auxiliary rocker 504, and extends the instantaneous roll radius of the motorcycle front wheel 1 axis, thereby improving the anti-pitching characteristic of the vehicle body.
The working principle of the invention is as follows:
when a driver operates the rotary steering handle, the steering arm is driven to coaxially rotate; the steering arm transmits the motion to the transverse shaft through the first steering rod and the first steering rod, and converts the motion of the left side of the vehicle body of the vehicle frame to the motion of the second steering rod on the right side of the vehicle body through the transverse shaft; the second transfer rod is connected with the main steering knuckle through a second steering pull rod, when the front wheel of the motorcycle is excited by the wheel surface to jump upwards, the auxiliary steering knuckle is driven to move, and the main rocker arm and the auxiliary rocker arm rock around the rotating shafts on the frame respectively.
In summary, the novel motorcycle front suspension and the steering system thereof improve the buffer performance and steering stability of the suspension by increasing the arrangement freedom degree of the steering handle relative to the steering wheel, form the novel single-rocker-arm suspension steering system based on the cooperation of the single compression shock absorber, the single-rocker-arm suspension and the four-bar steering mechanism matched with the single-rocker-arm suspension, effectively improve the problems of limited wheel jump stroke, poor pitching resistance of the vehicle body, uncontrollable wheel jump steering and the like of the wheels of the motorcycle, reduce the production cost of the motorcycle and improve the production efficiency of the vehicle type.
