This document is modified to adopt ISO 4210-6.2015 "Safety requirements for bicycles and two-wheeled bicycles - Part 6.Frame and front fork test methods

Law".

Compared with ISO 4210-6.2015, this document has made the following structural adjustments.

---Chapter 5 corresponds to Chapter 5 of ISO 4210-6.2015, of which 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 correspond to 5.2 and 5.7 of ISO 4210-6.2015;

---Deleted the title of C.1 in ISO 4210-6.2015, C.1 corresponds to C.1.1 and C.2 of ISO 4210-6.2015

C.1.2 of ISO 4210-6.2015.

The technical differences between this document and ISO 4210-6.2015 and their reasons are as follows.

--- Replaced ISO 4210-1 with the normatively quoted GB/T 3565.1 to adapt to my country's technical conditions and increase operability;

--- In the schematic diagram of "Figure 3 Pedal Force Fatigue Test of Frame", the views of "direction A" and "BB" are added, supplementing ISO 4210-3.

2014 missing (see Figure 3);

--- In the "overview" of the horizontal force fatigue test of the frame, the content of the preload stroke of the shock-absorbing fork and the shock-absorbing frame is added to reflect the frame

In the horizontal fatigue test, the design concept of the preload travel method for the rear shock absorber front fork and shock absorber frame (see 4.4.1);

--- In the "overview" of the vertical force fatigue test of the frame, the shock-absorbing front fork is "locked in the

Length while on board" changed to "Lock it at a position equivalent to 25% of maximum travel"; increased rear shock preload travel

to reflect the design concept of the preload travel for shock-absorbing front forks and frame shock absorbers (see 4.5.1, ISO 4210-6.2015

4.5.1);

--- In the "test method" of the frame vertical force fatigue test, change the test cycle "50000 times" to "100000 times" to be the same as the other

The test cycle of other fatigue tests is harmonized; the description of "h3" is added in Figure 5 to make up for the omission of ISO 4210-6.2015

(See 4.5.2, Figure 5, 4.5.2 of ISO 4210-6.2015);

---In the "Frame Test Method", the requirements of "Combined Vibration Test of Frame and Front Fork" have been added to apply to special models, such as folding bicycles

Driving, it has a better verification effect of vehicle strength (see 4.6);

--- In the "front fork mounting fixture", the requirements for the vertical bar fixture have been added to prevent the front fork from rotating during the test (see Appendix B).

The following editorial changes have been made to this document.

--- Change the name of the standard to "Bicycle Safety Requirements Part 6.Test Methods for Frame and Front Fork" in order to be compatible with the existing standardized documents

Introduction

GB (/T) 3565 "Safety Requirements for Bicycles" was drafted according to the safety requirements of bicycle products.

To produce bicycles that are as safe as possible. GB (/T) 3565 "Bicycle Safety Requirements" consists of 9 parts.

--- Part 1.Terms and definitions. The purpose is to unify the terminology used in each part of the standard.

--- Part 2.Requirements for city and touring bicycles, youth bicycles, mountain bikes and competition bicycles. purpose is

Classify the safety requirements of Category 4 bicycles into mandatory national standards for easy enforcement.

--- Part 3.General test methods. The purpose is to centralize and unify the general test methods for bicycle safety requirements and facilitate operation.

--- Part 4.Brake test method. The purpose is to carry out professional tests on the brake requirements in the bicycle safety requirements, and provide a basis for the brake test

Opportunities for method improvement.

--- Part 5.Test methods for handlebars. The purpose is to carry out professional tests on the handlebar requirements in the bicycle safety requirements, and to provide a basis for the handlebar test

Opportunities for method improvement.

--- Part 6.Test methods for frame and fork. The purpose is to conduct a professional review of the requirements for frame and front fork in bicycle safety requirements.

Test and provide opportunities for improved test methods for frames and forks.

--- Part 7.Test methods for wheels and rims. The purpose is to conduct a professional review of the requirements for wheels and rims in bicycle safety requirements

Test and provide opportunities for improvement of test methods for wheels and rims.

--- Part 8.Test methods for pedals and drive systems. The purpose is to meet the requirements for pedals and drive systems in bicycle safety requirements

Test, and provide opportunities for the improvement of test methods for saddles and saddle tubes.

GB 3565.2 is a mandatory national standard, and 7 test method standards (GB/T 3565.3~GB/T 3565.9) are recommended national standards

Standard, used in conjunction with GB 3565.2.These 7 test method standards are designed to ensure the strength and reliability of individual components and bicycles

Satisfies the requirements and requires consideration of safety aspects from the design stage.

The scope of GB (/T) 3565 is limited to product safety considerations. If bicycles are used on public roads, the "Chinese People's

The Road Traffic Safety Law of the Republic and relevant management regulations.

To improve repeatability and reproducibility, and to take into account suitability, size and operator effects for all types of bicycles, the test

The machine test method reflects the current advanced level and is more popular than the road test method.

The safety and quality of bicycles is related to the traffic life safety of consumers. Since 1983, my country has released three versions of

GB 3565.It has been 17 years since GB 3565-2005 was released and implemented.

Provided technical support. GB 3565-2005 "Safety Requirements for Bicycles" is equivalent to ISO 4210.1996 "Safety Requirements for Two-wheeled Bicycles"

Require". In.2014, ISO 4210 was revised and released again, from 1 standard to 9 standards. For this reason, GB 3565 also changed from the original

1 standard was revised into 9 standards, the standard level is synchronized with the international standard, and continues to provide technical support for the safety of bicycle products in our country.

3 Terms and Definitions

The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 3565.1 apply to this document.

4 Frame test method

4.1 Frame---Impact test (drop weight)

4.1.1 Overview

The frame manufacturer shall use the simulated front fork as specified in Appendix A instead of the front fork for the test.

If the frame can be changed from a male car to a female car by removing one tube, the test shall be carried out after removing the tube.

If the frame is equipped with a shock-absorbing front fork, the test is carried out with the shock-absorbing assembly of the front fork in the free length state without load.

For a frame equipped with a rear shock absorber, lock the shock absorber at a level equivalent to that of a rider with a weight of 80kg sitting on the bicycle

s position. For youth bicycles, lock the shock absorber at a level equivalent to that of a rider weighing 40kg sitting on the bicycle.

position; if the shock absorber is not permitted to be locked, a solid link of appropriate size with connections at both ends similar to the spring/shock absorber can be used in place of the spring.

Springs/Shock Absorbers.

4.1.2 Test method

Install a lightweight roller on the front fork, the mass of which is less than or equal to 1kg, and its dimensions are shown in Figure 1.The hardness of the impact surface of the roller should not be small
