Problems solved by technology

This results in severe soiling
In addition there is the risk of the radiator fins being clogged by dirt contained in dirty water, which would lead to a reduction in cooling efficiency and, in extreme cases, to overheating of the motor

Embodiment Construction

[0019] Figure 1 shows the front wheel area of ​​a conventional motorcycle. When driving on a wet roadway 1 , the front wheels 2 , or more precisely the front tires 3 , transport dirty water upwards in the direction of rotation 4 . Motorcycles usually have a protective plate, also known as a fender 5, on its front wheel, which is fastened to the front wheel fork. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the fender 5 extends in the circumferential direction of the tire 3 over an angular range of more than 120°.

[0020] A portion of the dirty water transported by the tire 3 is splashed tangentially from the tire 3, which is indicated by the "splash tangential lines" 6-8. Part of the dirty water sprayed by the tires 3 is thrown directly onto a radiator 12 which is arranged upstream of the engine, not shown in detail here. Dirty water squeezes the cooling fins 13 of the radiator by the driving wind. There is a risk that dirt particles contained in the dirty water will stick betw...

Abstract

The invention relates to a splash water collecting device for vehicles, comprising a fender that is arranged at a distance from the tires of the vehicle and which extends along a peripheral section of the tire in the direction of rotation of the tire. A splash water collecting element is arranged in an area located behind the tire in relation to a main direction of travel of the vehicle and between a contact area of the tire on a roadway and a rear end of the fender in the direction of rotation of the tire. The splash water collecting element collects the splash water, which is transported from the tire upwards when the tire rotates, is thus removed from the tire and then guided in the direction of the roadway.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a splash water collector for vehicles, in particular for motorcycles, according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Motorcycles usually have a "guard", also known as a "fender", on their front wheel. The fender or fender is able to collect, drain and thus protect the driver on rainy roadways the water that is transported upwards from the front wheels or tires when they rotate. Unlike older motorcycles, where the fender covers the front tires relatively deep down and relatively far forward, modern motorcycles generally only have small and relatively narrow fenders plates, which only cover the upper and rear areas of the front wheels. In the rear region of the front tires which are not covered by the fenders, the splash water transported by the tires escapes and sprays tangentially from the tires. Especially wide front tires have a relatively large support surface and thus transport relatively large quan...
