Method for manufacturing bicycle front fork having wheel clamping base

摘要

A method for manufacturing a bicycle front fork having a wheel clamping base. The method includes the steps of extruding an aluminum alloy substrate having three rectangular bars, wherein the two of the rectangular bars have assembling segments; cutting the substrate for a blank and placing it into a mold for forging the three rectangular bars into three round bars; placing the blank into another mold for extruding and punching the three round bars to have guide holes; drilling the round bars along the guide holes to form three round tubes; flattening and shrinking openings of two of the three round tubes; molding the assembling segments; downwardly bending the two round tubes having the assembling segments into two fork tubes of a bicycle front fork; punching the assembling segments into locking connection portions for a clamping base of the bicycle front fork.

1. A method for manufacturing a bicycle front fork having a wheel clamping base, comprising the steps of:
A. preparing an aluminum alloy substrate; B. extruding the aluminum alloy substrate to have three rectangular bars integrally connected in a radical orientation, wherein two of the three rectangular bars have a first side and a second side on front ends thereof, and the first side or both of the first side and the second side connect to assembling segments; C. cutting the extruded substrate for a blank; D. placing the blank into a first mold for forging the three rectangular bars into three round bars and stamping a raw edge and a scrap of the blank; E. abrading the raw edge and the scrap of the forged blank; F. placing the forged blank into a second mold for extruding and punching front ends of the three round bars of the blank to have guide holes; G. drilling the three round bars along the guide holes to form three round tubes communicated with one another; H. flattening and shrinking openings of two of the three drilled round tubes, and molding the assembling segments to connectedly extend in parallel from the front ends of the two round tubes with the flattened and shrunk openings; I. downwardly bending the two round tubes having the assembling segments to space apart from each other in parallel for two fork tubes of a bicycle front fork and allowing the other round tube to form a vertical tube of the bicycle front fork; and J. punching the assembling segments at the front ends of the two fork tubes into locking connection portions for a clamping base of the bicycle front fork.
