Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a control method for integrating a bicycle into a bicycle and a process thereof, in particular to make a hollow front fork tube 0 which can reduce its weight and material cost. The steering mechanism of a bicycle generally includes a front and a steering tube. The front and the center are formed with a shoulder. The opposite sides of the shoulder are respectively bent toward the same direction to form an outer tube. The outer tube and the bicycle When the front wheels are connected, one end of the steering tube is fixed at the front and the shoulders. The other end is provided with a handle for the rider to control and operate the steering mechanism and the front wheel. Among them, because the front (especially the shoulder) needs to bear the impact of the front surface through the wheel, on the other hand, the rider must carry the front fork and the wheel through the handle and the steering tube. Steering force, therefore, the existing technology for making the front fork in an integrally formed manner, although it can be made of lightweight material for the weight of the „, but still needs to be formed into a real two and take into account its structural strength. Under the circumstance, the degree of reduction in the weight of the front is really limited. Type method Bufa Γι Bay Bulletin No. 546226 "Seamless frame home "Car_piece = W case" and such as Taiwan certificate number 12986553⁄4 Heit: The ::: method of the invention patent case shows that the _ itself is - ΓΛ ΓΛ to form a hollow frame tube. • In addition to the steering force of the front fork, the impact force on the ground and the rider and the above-mentioned special materials need to be specially strengthened. The method taught can only form a uniform wall thickness. In the middle of 1378879, it is not possible to make an empty-length pipe body, which can be used as a pipe frame to form a bicycle frame before being used. In another prior art, the shoulder and the second outer pipe are made so that the shoulder is A sufficient structural strength: the block body, the outer pipe is _ intermediaries, after the U s s body, and then the three components are combined to achieve the purpose of reducing the weight of the fork; In this way, it is even more necessary to individually assemble each of the components before and after, and add additional assembly steps and costs, resulting in low productivity.
如上所述,現有技術之前又的製作方式實有待進一步 改進之處》 【發明内容】 有鑑於前述現有技術的不 體成型自行車前又管的製程, 自行車前叉之重量,同時兼顧 的。 足’本發明提供一種管製一 希藉此製程達到進一步減輕 刖又管肩部之結構強度的目As described above, the prior art production method of the prior art needs further improvement. [Explanation] In view of the foregoing prior art process of inflating the bicycle front tube, the weight of the bicycle front fork, and at the same time. The present invention provides a control for the purpose of further reducing the structural strength of the chin and the shoulder portion.

The tube body is formed at the middle portion of the tube body - a shoulder-shaped segment, and an outer tube-shaped segment is formed between the shoulder-shaped segment and the tube body respectively; The outer wall of the section is compressed to gradually reduce the diameter of the outer section of the outer tube; - the step of pre-f tube, the outer section of the tube is separated from the end of the shoulder-shaped section Don't bend in the same direction with respect to the shoulder section; a mold forming step 'put the tube body into a mold, and then fill the open end with high-pressure fluid to make the shoulder of the whole tube body taste Although the k1 type segment is attached to the inner wall of the mold, the integral part is formed into a ——-, a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The top surface of the front X tube (four) is divided into the top surface and the bottom surface: through the tube It is formed with a coupling hole corresponding to the upper and - the coupling hole. The step of shrinking the tube and the step of pre-bending may further comprise a press-type step, wherein the outer tube is stamped by the opposite sides of the outer ring wall of the outer tube of the tube. The invention has the advantages that the shoulder portion of the hollow body before the integral molding can have a higher structural strength than the outer tube, so as to withstand the ground penetration = the impact of the wheel (4) and the impact of the tube When the rider drives the handle and the steering e, the steering force of the wheel is controlled, so that the weight of the bicycle and the tube can be reduced, thereby reducing the burden on the rider, and the assembly and material costs can be reduced. [Embodiment] _ , see the first and second figures, the process of the integrated one-piece bicycle month J fork S of the present invention is to first take a hollow pipe body (10) of appropriate length and a suitable thickness of the pipe wall, a pressing step, a processing step, and sequentially performing a thick thin tube step, a shrink tube step, a set bending step, a mold forming step, and a tube fitting: "see the third figure" In the step of thinning the thin tube, the tube body (10) is extended by both ends of the tube body 抽), and a shoulder-shaped section is formed at the section 1378879 of the tube body (10) (11) An outer tube forming section (12) is formed between the shoulder separating section (11) and the ends of the pipe body (10), wherein the outer tube forming section (12) is stretched, The wall thickness of the tube draft section (12) will be smaller than the wall thickness of the shoulder section (11); as shown in the fourth figure, in the shrinking step, the tube (10) is separated from the tube. The outer wall of the section (12) is compressed to gradually reduce the diameter of the outer tube section (12), and each outer tube is separated from the section ...) A connecting end (121) of the segment (11) forms a tapered shape between the other opening/end (122) of the segment away from the shoulder segment, and has a streamlined shape. At this time, the wall thickness of the outer tube miscellaneous section (彳2) is slightly thicker than the thickness of the tube wall after the step of thinning the thin tube; as shown in the fifth figure, in the molding step, The tubular body (1〇) is formed by stamping the outer tube release section (12) on opposite sides of the outer ring wall of the outer tube section (12), so that the outer tube section (12) is formed into a Expanding the pipe section of the circular section; as shown in the sixth figure, in the pre-bending step, the pipe-shaped section (12) of the pipe body (10) is respectively opposite from the joint end (121) The shoulder section (1 1) is bent in the same direction; as shown in the seventh and eighth figures, in the mold forming step, the tube body (10) is placed in the mold (30) The open end (122) of the outer tube section (12) of the tube body (10) is filled with a high-pressure fluid (for example, a high-pressure gas or a high-pressure liquid) so that the shoulder portion (1) of the whole tube body (10) is externally tube The section (12) is attached to the inner wall of the mold so as to be integrally formed into a hollow front tube (four)), and the aforementioned (four) release section (1) is formed into a material (tube) (5) shoulder (21), the outer tube is separated The section (12) forms the front fork tube (2〇) and the tube 1378879. See the ninth figure. In the tube processing step, τ is on the shoulder (21) of the front fork tube (20). At the center, on the top and bottom - 丄 77々 'J shell wear '· its wall is formed with a corresponding upper binding hole (23) and the next surname (24) for the steering wheel of the bicycle Use in combination with each other. The hole (2〇) before the hole is integrally formed by the above various processing steps, the shoulder portion (21) has a higher structural strength than the outer tube (22), and the ground is applied to the wheel through the wheel. In front of the tube (2 〇) impact force, through the handle and the steering tube to drive the front fork tube (2 〇) and the steering force of the wheel, Shun Lee to reduce the weight of the bicycle before the tube, thereby reducing the burden on the rider Purpose, while reducing assembly and material costs.
