Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a motorcycle seat support mechanism and a motorcycle including the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, among known two-wheel motorcycles with seats, the seat support mechanism is usually such that the seat is directly supported on the tube of the frame or the bracket of the frame. Due to the characteristics of motorcycle driving, it is determined that when the rider and passenger sit on the seat, the two thighs are clamped on both sides of the vehicle body (the front part of the seat and the side part of the fuel tank). Therefore, the width of the seat is generally small (to adapt to the clamping of the thighs), resulting in a narrow space at this position of the frame, with less design freedom. Due to the limited layout freedom, it is difficult to strengthen the inside of the frame. In addition, because the force application position is biased inward, the strength of the bracket is insufficient and it is easy to deform, thus making the installation of the seat unreliable.

[0042] It should be noted that in different drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or substantially the same components.

[0043] As Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a motorcycle, which includes a frame 200, a motorcycle seat support mechanism 100, and a seat 300. And it includes at least two motorcycle seat support mechanisms 100 respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 200, and the seat 300 covers the upper surface of the frame 200 through the at least two motorcycle seat support mechanisms 100.

[0044] Specifically, the frame 200 includes a main body 201 and a front frame 202; the seat 300 is covered and arranged above the main body 201. The front end of the main body 201 includes a transverse tube 2011 extending in the transverse direction. The front frame 202 is connected to the front end of the main body 201. The front frame 202 includes side tubes 2021 respectively arranged on the left and right sides and extending in the front-rear direction. The rear end of the side tube 2021 is connected to the transverse tube 2011; Exemplarily, the motorcycle includes two above-mentioned motorcycle seat support mechanisms 100, which are respectively arranged at the positions where the side tubes 2021 are connected to the transverse tube 2011, which can not only ensure reliable support and fixation of the seat 300, but also ensure the stiffness and strength.

[0045] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be known that in some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned motorcycle seat support mechanism 100 includes: a bracket 1, an adapter bracket 2, and a connecting member 3. The bracket 1 is installed on the frame 200. The bracket 1 has a first support portion 11 and a first strengthening portion 12. The first support portion 11 is arranged at the top of the bracket 1. The first strengthening portion 12 is arranged to be biased towards the inner side of the frame 200. The adapter bracket 2 is detachably installed on the bracket 1. The adapter bracket 2 has a second support portion 21 and a second strengthening portion 22. The second support portion 21 is arranged at the top of the adapter bracket 2. The second strengthening portion 22 is connected to the first strengthening portion 12. The connecting member 3 is arranged at the top of the second support portion 21, and the seat 300 is connected to the connecting member 3.

[0046] Based on the above technical solution, an adapter bracket 2 is added on the bracket 1, and the connecting member 3 is installed on the adapter bracket 2. By adding the adapter bracket 2, and respectively providing the first strengthening portion 12 and the second strengthening portion 22 on the bracket 1 and the adapter bracket 2, the strength and stiffness of the support mechanism can be effectively enhanced, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the seat 300; In addition, the adapter bracket 2 is detachably connected to the bracket 1. The detachable connection between the adapter bracket 2 and the bracket 1 is convenient for disassembly, so as to facilitate the maintenance of components such as the air filter in the frame 200. By adding the adapter bracket 2, the design freedom is increased, so that it is possible to strengthen at the narrow parts of the frame 200, and the stability and reliability of the seat 300 are increased.

[0047] Specifically, the connecting member 3 in this embodiment is a rubber part, which can not only install the seat 300, but also play a role in shock absorption.

[0048] Specifically, the bracket 1 in this embodiment includes a first mounting plate 13 and a second mounting plate 14. The first mounting plate 13 includes a first plate portion 131 extending vertically and a second plate portion 132 extending horizontally and inwards towards the top side of the first plate portion 131. The bottom side of the first plate portion 131 is used to be connected to the vehicle frame 200, and a positioning hole 1311 is provided on the first plate portion 131 for cooperating with and positioning the mounting feet 302 on both side covers of the motorcycle body. For specific reference, see the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the second plate portion 132 is defined as a first supporting portion 11; the first reinforcing portion 12 is a reinforcing plate portion 121. The bottom side of the reinforcing plate portion 121 is used to be connected to the vehicle frame 200, and the top side of the reinforcing plate portion 121 is connected to the second plate portion 132; Connecting the two plate members can ensure the strength and rigidity of the bracket 1.

[0049] More specifically, the second supporting portion 21 includes a supporting plate portion 211 attached above the second plate portion 132. The inner part of the supporting plate portion 211 extends out of the inner side of the first supporting portion 11 to form an extension portion 2111. The second reinforcing portion 22 connects the extension portion 2111 and the reinforcing plate portion 121, which can further ensure the strength and rigidity of the motorcycle seat supporting mechanism 100.

[0050] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the second reinforcing portion 22 includes at least two vertically extending reinforcing rib plates 221 arranged in sequence in the front-rear direction of the vehicle frame 200 and a connecting plate 222 connecting the bottom ends of the reinforcing rib plates 221. The connecting plate 222 is connected to the reinforcing plate portion 121, and the tops of the reinforcing rib plates 22 are connected to the extension portion 2111; By setting the second reinforcing portion 22 as several vertically extending reinforcing rib plates 22, not only the strength of the adapter frame 2 itself is ensured, but also the vertically extending reinforcing rib plates 22 are connected to the bracket 1 to form a force transmission path extending in the up-down direction, thereby being able to improve the strength and rigidity of the entire supporting mechanism.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, welding connections are used between the reinforcing plate portion 121 and the second plate portion 132, and between the second reinforcing portion 22 and the extension portion 2111; Threaded connections are used between the supporting plate portion 211 and the second plate portion 132, and between the second reinforcing portion 22 and the reinforcing plate portion 121. That is, when assembling the motorcycle seat supporting mechanism 100, first weld the bracket 1 and the adapter frame 2 into a whole respectively, and then connect the bracket 1 and the adapter frame 2 through screws or bolts 5, which not only ensures strength and rigidity, but also is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0052] Exemplarily, nut members 4 are respectively welded on the second plate portion 132 and the reinforcing plate portion 121. During the assembly process, a bolt member 5 sequentially passes through the nut members 4 on the support plate portion 211 and the second plate portion 132, and a bolt member 5 sequentially passes through the nut members 4 on the second reinforcing portion 22 and the reinforcing plate portion 121, thereby assembling the adapter bracket 2 and the bracket 1 together. Exemplarily, the second reinforcing portion 22 is threadedly and firmly connected to the reinforcing plate portion 121 through its connecting plate 222.

[0053] In order to further limit the seat cushion 300, a limiting member 6 is installed at the front end of the adapter bracket 2. Correspondingly, a positioning portion 301 for cooperating with and positioning the limiting member 6 is provided at the bottom of the seat cushion 300. For specific reference, please refer to the attached Figure 3 as shown.

[0054] Specifically, the limiting member 6 is a limiting rod, and both ends of the limiting rod are connected to the adapter bracket 2 to define a limiting hole 61 between the limiting rods; the positioning portion 301 is a convex portion integrally formed at the bottom of the seat cushion 300, and the convex portion passes through the limiting hole 61, thereby playing a role in cooperative limitation.

[0055] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned limiting rod can be a steel wire, and the steel wire is welded to the adapter bracket 2.

[0056] In summary, for the motorcycle and its seat cushion support mechanism according to the embodiments of the present application, an adapter bracket is added to the bracket, and the connecting member is installed on the adapter bracket. By adding the adapter bracket, and respectively providing a first reinforcing portion and a second reinforcing portion on the bracket and the adapter bracket, the strength and stiffness of the support mechanism can be effectively enhanced, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the seat cushion; in addition, the adapter bracket is detachably connected to the bracket, and the adapter bracket is detachably connected to the bracket, which is convenient for disassembly, thereby facilitating the maintenance of components such as the air filter in the vehicle frame.
