Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a motorcycle front turn signal light structure, and more particularly to a motorcycle front turn signal light structure that can enhance the left-right balance of the front section of the motorcycle body and suppress the vibration of the body, thereby improving the controllability of the motorcycle during driving and reducing the cost of the motorcycle. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, a two-wheeled straddle-type motorcycle 1 is provided with front turn signals 12 below a steering mechanism 11 and on both left and right sides of the motorcycle body to indicate the direction of travel when changing the vehicle's driving conditions, in accordance with driving safety and vehicle regulations. As is well known, the steering mechanism 11 of the motorcycle 1 is relatively lightweight compared to other parts of the motorcycle 1 because it lacks other heavy components. Therefore, when the motorcycle 1 is traveling at a high speed, the steering handle 111 of the steering mechanism 11 is prone to shaking, thereby affecting the control of the motorcycle 1.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the shaking defect of the steering handle 111 caused by the motorcycle 1 running at high speed, the industry has installed a stabilizer 13 with an airflow guiding effect on both sides of the motorcycle body near the steering mechanism 11. When the motorcycle 1 is running at high speed, the external airflow relative to the speed of the motorcycle 1 will cause the stabilizer 13 to have a downward pressure, thereby reducing the shaking of the steering handle 111 and improving the driving controllability of the motorcycle 1.

[0004] The prior art of stabilizing the steering handle 111 by providing airflow-guiding stabilizers 13 on both sides of the motorcycle body adjacent to the steering mechanism 11 results in excessive components such as the front turn signal lamps 12 and the stabilizers 13 provided at the front of the motorcycle 1, and thus needs to be improved.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a motorcycle front turn signal structure to improve the motorcycle's driving maneuverability and reduce the number of motorcycle external components has become an urgent issue to be solved by the motorcycle industry. Summary of the Invention

[0089] As shown in Figure 4 , 5As shown, the front direction lamp 7 has a base 71, a lamp unit 72 arranged in the base 71, and a lamp cover 73 covering the base 71. The base 71 is an opaque body. The base 71 has a bottom surface 711. A guide protrusion 712 is arranged on the bottom surface 711. The guide protrusion 712 is arranged in a perpendicular manner with respect to the bottom surface 711. The guide protrusion 712 has an upper guide surface 7121 and a lower guide surface 7122. The upper guide surface 7121 has a protrusion 7123 arranged on the upper guide surface 7121 at a middle position. The upper guide surface 7121 is inclined downwardly with respect to the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle body. The lower guide surface 7122 is a flat surface. The total length of the upper guide surface 7121 is less than the length of the lower guide surface 7122. When air flows through the guide protrusion 712, the total length of the upper guide surface 7121 is less than the length of the lower guide surface 7122. Therefore, the air pressure on the upper guide surface 7121 is downward. The base 71 and the guide protrusion 712 are provided with at least one protrusion 713 arranged in the front direction of the vehicle body. The base 71 is provided with at least one mounting hole 714 arranged in the guide protrusion 712. The guide protrusion 712 is provided with a through hole 715 arranged between the two mounting holes 714. The through hole 715 is provided with a positioning plug 716 arranged in the through hole 715. The outer cover C is provided with a through hole corresponding to the mounting hole 714. The power line 72a of the lamp unit 72 can pass through the positioning plug 716. The power line 72a can be electrically connected to the energy storage device B. The base 71 is provided with a locking mechanism 717 arranged on the bottom surface 711. The locking mechanism 717 is composed of a plurality of locking columns. The lamp unit 72 can be locked by the locking mechanism 717. The lamp unit 72 can be locked by the locking mechanism 717 by using a locking element S.

[0090] As Figure 4 、 5As shown, the lamp unit 72 is locked to the locking mechanism 717 of the base 71; the lamp unit 72 has a control board 722 and a light-emitting unit 721 electrically connected to the control board 722; the control board 722 is electrically connected to the energy storage device B via the power cord 72a to obtain the power required for operation, and the light-emitting unit 721 has a light-emitting element 7211 and a control motor 7212 that can control the light-emitting element 7211 to light up or not. The light-emitting element 7211 of the present invention is implemented as a light-emitting diode, and the light-emitting unit 721 of the present invention is implemented by providing three.

[0091] like Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the lampshade 73 covers the open side of the base 71, whereby the lampshade 73 and the base 71 can cover the lamp unit 72; the lampshade 73 has a light-transmitting portion 731 and an opaque shielding portion 732. The light-transmitting portion 731 allows light emitted by the light-emitting unit 721 of the lamp unit 72 to pass through. After the front turn signal lamp 7 is installed on the exterior cover C, the light-transmitting portion 731 is oriented toward the front of the vehicle body, thereby ensuring the warning visual effect of the front turn signal lamp 7.

[0092] like Figure 2 、 4 , 5, 6, and 7, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the front turn signal lamp 7 is installed on the exterior cover C, a guide air duct F for allowing outside air to circulate can be defined between the exterior cover C and the base 71 of the front turn signal lamp 7, and above the upper guide surface 7121 of the guide protrusion 712. Therefore, when the motorcycle 2 is running, the outside air will be forced into the guide air duct F. Since the total length of the upper guide surface 7121 is less than the length of the lower guide surface 7122, downward air pressure can be formed on the upper guide surface 7121. , to suppress the upper guide surface 7121, thereby increasing the control weight of the steering handlebar 51 of the steering mechanism 5 of the motorcycle 2, which means that the left and right balance force of the front section of the motorcycle 2 can be enhanced, and the vibration of the body can be suppressed, thereby improving the controllability of the motorcycle 2 during driving. The effect of improving the controllability during driving is more obvious as the speed of the motorcycle 2 is faster. In addition, the air guide duct F is defined by the exterior cover C and the front turn signal 7, so there is no need to set up additional components such as a pressure stabilizer, thereby further reducing the cost of the motorcycle 2.

[0093] The main function of the present invention is that, by virtue of the motorcycle 2 having an exterior cover C, the motorcycle 2 is provided with front turn signals 7 on the exterior cover C on both sides of the motorcycle body. The front turn signals 7 include a base 71, a lamp assembly 72 disposed within the base 71, and a lampshade 73 covering the base 71. The base 71 is provided with a guide protrusion 712 on one side, and an air guide duct F is formed between the base 71 and the exterior cover C and above the guide protrusion 712. This can enhance the left-right balance of the front section of the motorcycle body 2 and suppress vibration of the motorcycle body, thereby improving the controllability of the motorcycle 2 during driving.

[0094] In summary, the present invention can improve the existing shortcomings and achieve the desired purpose through the above-mentioned structure, and has indeed improved the efficacy compared to the known ones. It is obvious that it has novelty, practicality and creativity.
