前叉臂及前叉Front fork arm and front fork

本發明是有關於一種自行車零件,特別是指一種前叉臂及前叉。The present invention relates to a bicycle component, and more particularly to a front fork arm and a front fork.

參閱圖1與圖2,一種現有的前叉10大致上包含一豎管1,及二前叉臂2。該等前叉臂2分別設置於該豎管1的兩相反側,且分別為組接在一起的一叉骨21及一勾爪件22的組合。各叉骨21呈中空管狀且包括一與該豎管1銲接在一起的第一端部211,及一相反於該第一端部211的第二端部212。各勾爪件22分別包括一塞設於各叉骨21的第二端部212的柱塞部221,及一形成有一可供一輪軸(圖未示)的一端部卡固的嵌孔222的卡板部223,且各勾爪件22再透過銲接方式固定於各叉骨21的第二端部212。Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a prior front fork 10 generally includes a standpipe 1 and two front fork arms 2. The front fork arms 2 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the standpipe 1, and are respectively a combination of a wishbone 21 and a hook member 22 that are assembled together. Each wishbone 21 is hollow tubular and includes a first end 211 welded to the riser 1 and a second end 212 opposite the first end 211. Each of the hook members 22 includes a plunger portion 221 that is plugged to the second end portion 212 of each of the wishbones 21, and a through hole 222 that is formed by an end portion of an axle (not shown). The card portion 223 and the hook members 22 are fixed to the second end portion 212 of each of the wishbones 21 by welding.

然而,上述前叉臂2的叉骨21及勾爪件22是利用銲接方式組接在一起,因此該等前叉臂2的叉骨21及勾爪件22銲接組裝後的銲接公差,及該等前叉臂2經由熱處理後的結構變形公差,都會累積造成組接於該豎管1的該等前叉臂2的嵌孔222的平行度、同心圓度等精準度公差變大而無法與該輪軸組裝的問題,且焊接技術良莠不齊,再加上勾爪件22是透過其柱塞部221塞設於叉骨21的第二端部212的方式而套插於叉骨21上,使得前叉10使用於自行車且在騎乘時,容易使勾爪件22與叉骨21的結合處承受相當大的力量,使得勾爪件22與叉骨21間所形成的銲接處因焊接不良容易斷裂,甚至致使勾爪件22與叉骨21的結合處產生間隙,從而影響騎乘時的操控性及安全性。However, the wishbone 21 and the claw member 22 of the front fork arm 2 are assembled by welding, and therefore the welding tolerances of the fork bone 21 and the claw member 22 of the front fork arm 2 after welding are assembled, and After the structural deformation tolerance of the front fork arm 2 through the heat treatment, the accuracy of the parallelism and concentricity of the insertion holes 222 of the front fork arms 2 assembled to the vertical pipe 1 is increased, and the accuracy tolerance cannot be increased. The problem of assembly of the axle and the welding technique are different. Further, the hook member 22 is inserted into the wishbone 21 through the plunger portion 221 being plugged to the second end portion 212 of the wishbone 21, so that the front portion The fork 10 is used for a bicycle and when riding, it is easy to put a considerable force on the joint of the claw member 22 and the wishbone 21, so that the welded portion formed between the claw member 22 and the wishbone 21 is easily broken due to poor welding. Even a gap is created between the hook member 22 and the wishbone 21, thereby affecting the handling and safety during riding.

再者,上述勾爪件22的塞設部221的外型須配合叉骨21的第二端部212的形狀,才能達到緊密迫合的塞設效果,因此對於具有不同形狀變化的叉骨21則需要不同的模具來成型製造相對應的勾爪件22,從而增加模具製作成本,且上述前叉10的豎管1、叉骨21及勾爪件22為分別製造後才進行組接再一起,使得上述前叉10的生產工序繁複。Furthermore, the shape of the plug portion 221 of the hook member 22 must match the shape of the second end portion 212 of the wishbone 21 to achieve a tightly engaging effect, and thus for the wishbone 21 having different shape changes. Then, different molds are needed to mold and manufacture the corresponding claw members 22, thereby increasing the mold manufacturing cost, and the vertical tube 1, the wishbone 21 and the claw members 22 of the front fork 10 are separately assembled and then assembled together. The production process of the front fork 10 described above is complicated.

參閱圖3與圖4,本發明前叉臂的一實施例,是經由以下製法步驟所製得:Referring to Figures 3 and 4, an embodiment of the front fork arm of the present invention is produced by the following manufacturing steps:

一步驟71:利用管件加工機(圖未示)將一金屬管材3進行抽管及擴管,從而加工成一具有預定長度及管壁厚度變化的預成型管件4,該預成型管件4沿一直線L延伸且呈圓管狀,並具有相反設置的一第一端部41及一第二端部42,其中,該第一端部41的管壁厚度為T1,該第二端部42的管壁厚度為T2,連接於該第一端部41及該第二端部42間的部分的管壁厚度為T3,且該預成型管件4滿足以下管壁厚度變化:T1≧1.5*T2,T2>T3,在本實施例中,該金屬管材3的材質為鋁合金;In a step 71, a metal pipe 3 is piped and expanded by a pipe processing machine (not shown) to be processed into a preformed pipe member 4 having a predetermined length and a wall thickness variation, and the preformed pipe member 4 is along a straight line L. The first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 are oppositely disposed, wherein the first end portion 41 has a tube wall thickness T1, and the second end portion 42 has a tube wall thickness. For T2, the wall thickness of the portion connected between the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 is T3, and the preformed tubular member 4 satisfies the following wall thickness variation: T1 ≧ 1.5 * T2, T2 > T3 In this embodiment, the metal pipe 3 is made of an aluminum alloy;

一步驟72:接續於該步驟71後,將該預成型管件4進行冷鍛加工,從而將該第一端部41壓合封閉而形成一沿該直線L延伸且概呈錐狀的直管段411,及一由該直管段411遠離該第二端部42的一端沿該直線L向外延伸的實心柱體412,也就是說,該直管段411與該實心柱體412為冷鍛一體化製成;Step 72: Following the step 71, the preformed tubular member 4 is subjected to cold forging processing to press-close the first end portion 41 to form a straight pipe section 411 extending along the straight line L and having a substantially tapered shape. And a solid cylinder 412 extending outward from the straight end of the straight pipe section 411 away from the second end portion 42. That is, the straight pipe section 411 and the solid cylinder 412 are integrally formed by cold forging. to make;

一步驟73:接續於該步驟72後,將該預成型管件4進行塑型加工,從而將該實心柱體412壓制塑型成一前叉卡板414;及a step 73: after the step 72, the preformed tubular member 4 is shaped, thereby pressing the solid cylinder 412 into a front fork card 414;

一步驟74:接續於該步驟73後,將該直管段411壓制塑型成一為中空的直臂段413,以及將該預成形管件4位於該第二端部42至該直管段413的部分彎曲且壓制塑型成一彎臂段415,即完成一為一體成型的前叉臂4’的製作,其中,該直臂段413與該前叉卡板414是由該金屬管件3經由冷鍛一體化再壓制塑型而成。Step 74: Following the step 73, the straight pipe section 411 is press-formed into a hollow straight arm section 413, and the portion of the preformed pipe member 4 located at the second end portion 42 to the straight pipe section 413 is bent.

在此補充說明的是,在上述步驟71中所製得的預成型管件4的第一端部41及第二端部42的管壁厚度T1、T2需滿足T1≧1.5*T2的原因在於:是為了在步驟72對於該預成型管件4的第一端部41冷鍛成具有足夠體積的該實心柱體412,從而在步驟73中才能將該實心柱體412壓制成型出具有足夠厚度及板面積的前叉卡板414,使得該前叉卡板414能達到良好的結構強度。It is added here that the reason why the wall thicknesses T1 and T2 of the first end portion 41 and the second end portion 42 of the preformed tubular member 4 obtained in the above step 71 need to satisfy T1 ≧ 1.5*T2 is as follows: The first end portion 41 of the preformed tubular member 4 is cold forged into the solid cylinder 412 having a sufficient volume at step 72, so that the solid cylinder 412 can be press-formed to have a sufficient thickness and plate in step 73. The front fork card 414 of the area enables the front fork card 414 to achieve good structural strength.

綜上所述,本發明前叉臂是直接由一金屬管材3經由抽管、冷鍛及塑型步驟從而製得一體成型且高結構強度的前叉臂4’,相較於習知兩件組合式的前叉臂的製法,省去叉骨及勾爪件個別製造工序及將兩者對位組裝及銲接等工序,且無須對於具有不同形狀變化的叉骨使用不同的模具來成型製造相對應的勾爪件,從而省去相對的模具製作成本,再者本發明前叉臂由於是一體成型的無接縫結構,從而達到高結構強度的功效,能在使用於自行車且在騎乘時,足以承受相當大的力量衝擊而保持結構的完好度,以維持騎乘時良好的操控性及安全性,故確實能達成本發明之目的。In summary, the front fork arm of the present invention is directly formed by a metal pipe 3 through a pipe drawing, cold forging and shaping step to obtain an integrally formed and high structural strength front fork arm 4', compared with the conventional two pieces. The method of the combined front fork arm eliminates the individual manufacturing process of the wishbone and the claw piece and the process of assembling and welding the two, and does not need to use different molds for forming the manufacturing phase of the wishbone having different shape changes. Corresponding hook parts, thereby eliminating the relative mold manufacturing cost, and the front fork arm of the present invention is a one-piece jointless structure, thereby achieving high structural strength, can be used in bicycles and when riding It is sufficient to withstand considerable force impact and maintain the integrity of the structure to maintain good handling and safety during riding, so it is indeed possible to achieve the object of the present invention.
