[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-94942 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] However, because the connector is located inside the headlight housing, the headlight housing becomes larger. Furthermore, placing the connector on the outside of the headlight housing to avoid this larger size compromises aesthetics and reduces water resistance.

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a straddle-type vehicle that improves aesthetics and water resistance, and enables miniaturization of the headlight housing.

[0009] means for solving problems

[0010] One aspect of the present invention relates to a street-type straddle vehicle, comprising a headlight unit, a headlight housing, a wiring harness, and a connector cover. The headlight housing houses the headlight unit. The wiring harness includes a connector disposed below the headlight housing and connected to the headlight unit. The connector cover is separate from the headlight housing and covers the connector from the front.

[0011] In the straddle-type vehicles described in this approach, the connector is concealed from view by being covered by a connector cover, thus improving aesthetics. Water resistance is also improved because the front of the connector is covered by the connector cover. By placing the connector outside the headlight housing, the headlight housing can be miniaturized. Since the connector does not need to be housed at the rear of the headlight housing, the headlight unit and headlight housing can be positioned closer to the steering axis, thereby improving steering feel.

[0012] The straddle-type vehicle may also include a pair of left and right front forks. In this case, when viewed from the front, the connector cover can also be positioned further inward than the two ends of the pair of left and right front forks in the vehicle width direction. This allows for a reduction in the vertical dimensions of the headlight unit and the connector cover structure.

[0013] In the vehicle width direction, the two ends of the connector cover can also be positioned further inward than the two ends of the headlight unit. This reduces the lateral size of the headlight unit and connector cover structure.

[0014] The connector cover is positioned between the front and rear ends of the headlight unit in the longitudinal direction. This allows the connector cover to be brought closer together, thereby improving steering feel.

[0015] The headlight unit may also include an LED light. When using an LED light, since the substrate and other components are located inside the headlight housing, the headlight housing protrudes further forward to ensure sufficient space for the connector. Furthermore, LED lights are heavier, and this forward protrusion can sometimes impair steering feel. However, by placing the connector on the outside of the headlight housing, the headlight unit can be positioned closer to the steering axis, further improving steering feel, especially with the heavier LED light.

[0016] The straddle-type vehicle may also include a waterproof cover located behind the connector housing and covering the connector. This improves water resistance.

[0017] The straddle-type vehicle may also include a head tube, a steering shaft, a first support member, a second support member, and a mounting member. The steering shaft may also be inserted into the head tube. The first support member may also be fixed to the upper part of the steering shaft. The second support member may also be fixed to the lower part of the steering shaft. Alternatively, the mounting member may be supported by the first and second support members and a connector cover may be mounted on it. The mounting member may also include a portion disposed on the rear side of the connector. Thus, by including a portion disposed on the rear side of the connector in the mounting member, waterproofing can be improved.

[0018] The mounting component may also include bosses located at both ends in the vehicle width direction and protruding forward. The connector cover may also be fixed to the bosses. This allows the connector cover to be secured.

[0019] At the lower end of the headlamp housing, the lowest point can be located further forward than the rear end. At least a portion of the connector cover is disposed between the lowest point and the rear end in the longitudinal direction, and between the lowest point and the rear end in the vertical direction. This reduces the vertical dimension of the headlamp unit and connector cover structure.

[0020] When viewed from the front, the connector cover may also include a recess in the portion overlapping the headlight housing. A portion of the lower end may also be positioned directly above the recess, spaced apart. This allows for a reduction in the vertical dimensions of the headlight unit and connector cover structure.

[0021] Invention Effects

[0022] According to the present invention, by covering the connector with a connector cover, the connector is not visible in the appearance, thus improving aesthetics. Since the front of the connector is covered by the connector cover, water resistance is improved. By placing the connector outside the headlight housing, the headlight housing can be miniaturized. Since it is not necessary to house the connector at the rear of the headlight housing, the headlight unit and headlight housing can be positioned closer to the steering axis, improving steering feel.

[0038] Hereinafter, the straddle-type vehicle according to the embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a side view of the straddle-type vehicle 1 according to the embodiment. Figure 2 This is a front view of the straddle-type vehicle 1 involved in the implementation method.

[0039] The straddle-type vehicle 1 is a street-type vehicle. The straddle-type vehicle 1 includes a body frame 2, a steering system 3, a power unit 4, a fuel tank 5, a seat 6, a front wheel 7, and a rear wheel 8. The body frame 2 includes a head tube 11 and a main frame 12. The main frame 12 is connected to the head tube 11. The main frame 12 extends rearward from the head tube 11.

[0040] Figure 3 This is an enlarged side view showing the vicinity of the head tube 11. Figure 3 This is a picture with fuel tank 5 removed. Figure 4A This is a side cross-sectional view of the headlight unit 21 near the straddle-type vehicle 1. Figure 4B yes Figure 4A A magnified view of a portion of the image.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4AAs shown, the steering device 3 is rotatably supported on the head tube 11. The steering device 3 includes a steering shaft 17, a pair of left and right front forks 13, a top bridge 14 (first support component), a bottom bridge 15 (second support component), and a handlebar component 16.

[0042] like Figure 4A As shown, the steering shaft 17 is inserted into the head tube 11 and is rotatably supported on the head tube 11. The upper end of the steering shaft 17 is connected to the top bridge 14, and the lower end is connected to the bottom bridge 15.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the front fork 13 extends forward and downward from the top bridge 14, and its lower end is connected to the front wheel 7. The front fork 13 is connected to the steering shaft 17 via the top bridge 14 and the bottom bridge 15, and is rotatably supported on the head tube 11.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the handle assembly 16 is disposed on the upper side of the top bridge 14. The handle assembly 16 is fixed to the top bridge 14. The handle assembly 16 is connected to the steering shaft 17 via the top bridge 14 and is rotatably supported on the head tube 11. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front wheel 7 is rotatably supported on the front fork 13.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the fuel tank 5 is positioned behind the head tube 11 and above the main frame 12. The fuel tank 5 is supported by the vehicle frame 2. The seat 6 is positioned behind the fuel tank 5. The seat 6 is supported by the main frame 12. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the directions of front, back, left, right, up, and down refer to the directions viewed from the driver sitting in the seat 6. The power unit 4 includes, for example, an internal combustion engine. Alternatively, the power unit 4 may also include an electric motor. The rear wheels 8 are positioned behind the power unit 4. The rear wheels 8 rotate due to the driving force from the power unit 4.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the straddle-type vehicle 1 also includes a headlight unit 21, a headlight housing 22, a mounting component 23, and an instrument unit 24.

[0047] The headlight unit 21 is positioned on the front side of the front fork 13. The headlight unit 21 includes, for example, an LED light. Figure 4A As shown, the headlight housing 22 accommodates the headlight unit 21. The headlight housing 22 surrounds the headlight unit 21 from all sides. The front surface of the headlight unit 21 protrudes from the headlight housing 22. Mounting components 23 support the headlight housing 22. The headlight housing 22 is mounted on a pair of left and right brackets 27 (see reference). Figure 3 The bracket 27 is fixed to the support rod 62 of the mounting component 23 (described later). For example... Figure 2 As shown, the headlight housing 22 is positioned in the front view closer to the ends of the pair of front forks 13. Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the headlight housing 22 includes a lower end portion 22a. The lower end portion 22a is located at... Figure 4A and Figure 4B It is formed along the front-to-back direction in the side cross-section view. The lowest end 22d, located at the bottom of the lower end 22a, is positioned between the front end 22b and the rear end 22c in the front-to-back direction. The lowest end 22d is positioned close to the front end 22b.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4A As shown, the instrument unit 24 is disposed on the upper side of the headlight housing 22. The instrument unit 24 is disposed on the front side of the handle assembly 16. The instrument unit 24 includes a support plate 25 and an instrument 26. The support plate 25 is fixed to the top bridge 14. The instrument 26 is disposed on the support plate 25.

[0049] like Figure 4A As shown, the straddle-type vehicle 1 includes a connector cover 31 and a waterproof cover 32. (As...) Figure 4B As shown, connector cover 31 covers connector 34a of wiring harness 34 from the front. Wiring harness 34 is connected to headlight unit 21. Connector cover 31 is configured to cover connector 34a from the front and top. Figure 5 This is a front view showing the vicinity of the connector cover 31 of the straddle-type vehicle 1. The connector cover 31 is separate from the headlight housing 22. The connector cover 31 is positioned below the headlight housing 22. The two ends of the connector cover 31 are positioned further inward than the two ends of the headlight unit 21 and the headlight housing 22.

[0050] like Figure 4A As shown, in the front-rear direction, the connector cover 31 is disposed between the front end (indicated by dashed line P1) and the rear end (indicated by dashed line P2) of the headlight unit 21.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the connector cover 31 is positioned further inward than the central axis 13a of the left and right front forks 13.

[0052] Figure 6 (a) is a perspective view of the connector cover 31 viewed from above. Figure 6 (b) is a perspective view of the connector cover 31 viewed from below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector cover 31 is formed to a considerable length. Figure 3 , Figure 6 (a) and Figure 6 As shown in (b), the connector cover 31 includes a front surface portion 41, an upper surface portion 42, and a lower surface portion 43. Figure 4B As shown, the front surface portion 41 slopes from the lower front to the upper rear. In the front surface portion 41, as... Figure 6As shown in (a), through holes 41a are formed at both the left and right ends. Figure 5 As shown, it is fixed to the mounting component 23 by bolts 47 inserted into the through hole 41a. Figure 4B As shown, the upper surface portion 42 extends rearward from the upper end of the front surface portion 41. The lower surface portion 43 extends rearward from the lower end of the front surface portion 41.

[0053] like Figure 4B As shown, the front surface portion 41 of the connector cover 31 is disposed in the front-rear direction between the front end 22b and the rear end 22c of the lower end portion 22a of the headlight housing 22.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown in (a), a recess 45 is formed at the corner 44 between the front surface portion 41 and the upper surface portion 42 of the connector cover 31. Figure 5 As shown, the recess 45 is positioned in the center in the left-right direction. Figure 5 In the front view, the recess 45 is positioned at the portion that overlaps with the headlight housing 22 of the connector cover 31. For example... Figure 4B As shown, the recess 45 is formed from the front surface portion 41 to the upper surface portion 42. The lower end portion 22a of the headlight housing 22 is disposed spaced apart directly above the recess 45. When the headlight housing 22 is lowered downwards, the lower end portion 22a of the headlight housing 22 can enter the recess 45. Therefore, when changing the vertical angle of the headlight housing 22, interference between the headlight housing 22 and the connector cover 31 can be prevented. Figure 4B As shown, at least a portion of the connector cover 31 is disposed in the front-rear direction between the lowermost end 22d of the lower end 22a of the headlight housing 22 and the rear end 22c. Figure 4B W1), and is configured vertically between the bottommost 22d and the rearmost 22c. Figure 4B W2).

[0055] Thus, the headlamp housing 22 and the connector cover 31 are configured such that a portion of the connector cover 31 enters the space between the lowermost end 22d of the lower end 22a of the headlamp housing 22 and the rear end 22c.

[0056] like Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the waterproof cover 32 covers the connector 34a. Figure 7 It means from Figure 5 A diagram showing the state after connector cover 31 has been removed. Waterproof cover 32 is, for example, a rubber component. Figure 4B and Figure 7 As shown, the waterproof cover 32 is configured to cover the front, back, top, and bottom of the connector 34a. The waterproof cover 32 has openings at both ends, through which wire harnesses are arranged. The waterproof cover 32 is positioned on the rear side of the connector cover 31. Figure 8(a) is a three-dimensional view representing the waterproof cover 32. Figure 8 (b) is a side view of the waterproof cover 32. Figure 8 (b) is a side view showing the waterproof cover 32 in the open state. Figure 8 (c) is a side view showing the waterproof cover 32 in the closed state.

[0057] The waterproof cover 32 includes a first cover portion 51, a first edge portion 52, a second cover portion 53, a second edge portion 54, and a plurality of insertion portions 55. The first cover portion 51 is semi-cylindrical. Figure 8 As shown in (a), the first cover portion 51 is formed such that the diameters of the semi-cylindrical portions at both ends are smaller than the diameter of the central semi-cylindrical portion. A first edge portion 52 is disposed at one end 51a of the first cover portion 51 in the circumferential direction. The first edge portion 52 protrudes outward from the end 51a toward the outside of the first cover portion 51. The other end 51b of the first cover portion 51 in the circumferential direction is connected to the second cover portion 53.

[0058] The second cover 53 is semi-cylindrical. For example... Figure 8 As shown in (a), the second cover portion 53 is formed such that the diameters of the semi-cylindrical portions at both ends are smaller than the diameter of the central semi-cylindrical portion. A second edge portion 54 is disposed at one end 53a of the second cover portion 53 in the circumferential direction. The second edge portion 54 protrudes outward from the end 53a of the second cover portion 53. The other end 53b of the second cover portion 53 in the circumferential direction is connected to the end 51b of the first cover portion 51. By rotating the first cover portion 51 and the second cover portion 53 around the ends 51b and 53b, opening and closing can be performed between the end 51a of the first cover portion 51 and the end 53a of the second cover portion 53. The first cover portion 51 and the second cover portion 53 form a cylindrical shape that covers the connector 34a.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown in (b), the insertion portion 55 is disposed on the second edge portion 54. In this embodiment, three insertion portions 55 are disposed in the left-right direction. Each insertion portion 55 is inserted into the cutout 52a formed in the first edge portion 52. The insertion portion 55 has an arrow-shaped portion 55a. Figure 8 (b) and Figure 8 As shown in (c), the insertion part 55 is inserted into the cut 52a until the arrow-shaped part 55a protrudes from the cut 52a. As a result, the root 55b of the arrow-shaped part 55a interferes with the first edge part 52, thereby preventing the first cover part 51 and the second cover part 53 from opening.

[0060] Figure 9 It means from Figure 7 The image shows the state after removing the waterproof cover 32. (See image below.) Figure 9 As shown, the straddle-type vehicle 1 includes multiple wiring harnesses 34, 35, 36, and 37. Wiring harness 34 is connected to the headlight unit 21. Figure 10 This diagram shows the connection of wiring harness 34 to the headlight unit 21. Figure 10 This is a view of the headlight unit 21 and headlight housing 22 from the rear and lower part. A wiring harness 34 is connected to the lower part 21a of the rear surface of the headlight unit 21. Figure 10 In the diagram, wiring harness 34 is indicated by a dashed line. Wiring harness 34 bends from the lower part 21a of the rear surface of the headlight unit 21 and is positioned behind the connector cover 31. Wiring harness 34 is inserted into the rear of the connector cover 31, for example, from the left side. Wiring harness 34 includes a connector 34a. The connector 34a at the front end of wiring harness 34 is disposed inside the waterproof cover 32. Figure 9 As shown, connector 34a is connected, for example, to connector 35a of wiring harness 35 connected to the battery. Wiring harness 35 is in Figure 10 The image is indicated by a dashed line. The wiring harness 35 extends from the right side of the connector cover 31. Additionally, as shown... Figure 9 The diagram shows the connection between connector 36a of wire harness 36 and connector 37a of wire harness 37. Wire harness 36 is connected, for example, to a handle switch, and wire harness 37 is connected, for example, to a battery. Additionally, although not shown, a connector for a flash unit may also be configured.

[0061] Figure 11 This is to indicate the installation component 23 from Figure 9 The front view of wiring harnesses 34-37, headlight unit 21, and headlight housing 22 has been removed. Figure 12 Viewed from the side Figure 11 The image. Figure 13 Viewed from the upper left Figure 11 A three-dimensional image. Figure 14 This is a perspective view showing the mounting component 23.

[0062] Mounting component 23 supports the headlight housing 22 and connector cover 31. For example... Figure 14 As shown, the mounting component 23 includes a plate-shaped portion 61, a pair of left and right support rods 62, and a boss portion 63 disposed on each support rod 62.

[0063] The plate-shaped portion 61 is arranged along the left-right direction. The plate-shaped portion 61 includes a rear mounting portion 64, a fixing portion 65, and a stepped portion 66. The rear mounting portion 64 is located behind the waterproof cover 32. The rear mounting portion 64 is located behind the connectors 34a-37a. Figure 4B As shown, the rear configuration portion 64 slopes downwards and forwards from the upper rear. A fixing portion 65 is disposed on the lower side of the rear configuration portion 64. A step portion 66 is provided between the rear configuration portion 64 and the fixing portion 65. The step portion 66 extends rearwards from the lower end of the rear configuration portion 64. The step portion 66 is disposed perpendicular to the rear configuration portion 64. The fixing portion 65 extends downwards and forwards from the rear end of the step portion 66. Figure 4BAs shown, in a side view, the rear configuration part 64 and the fixing part 65 are arranged parallel to each other. Figure 14 As shown, two through holes 65a are formed in the lower part of the fixing part 65. Each through hole 65a extends through the fixing part 65 in the front-to-back direction. The two through holes 65a are arranged in the left-to-right direction. Bolts 67 are inserted into the two through holes 65a respectively, as shown. Figure 11 As shown, the fixing part 65 is fixed to the bottom bridge 15. Thus, the plate-shaped part 61 can be fixed to the bottom bridge 15.

[0064] The pair of left and right support rods 62 each include a lower support portion 71, a connecting portion 72, and an upper support portion 73. The lower support portion 71 is fixed to the front surface of the plate-shaped portion 61. The lower support portion 71 is arranged in the left-right direction. The lower support portion 71 is fixed to the stepped portion 66. The lower support portion 71 extends outward from the plate-shaped portion 61 in the vehicle width direction. The connecting portion 72 connects the lower support portion 71 and the upper support portion 73. The connecting portion 72 extends obliquely rearward and upward from the outer end of the lower support portion 71. Figure 12 As shown, the connecting portion 72 extends along the fork 13. The connecting portion 72 is disposed on the front side of the fork 13. The upper support portion 73 includes a curved portion 74 and an upper end portion 75. Figure 13 As shown, the curved portion 74 bends along the outer peripheral surface of the fork 13 from the upper end of the connecting portion 72 and extends inward in the width direction. The upper end portion 75 extends obliquely rearward and upward from the inner end of the curved portion 74. Figure 13 As shown, the upper end 75 is inserted into the insertion hole 14a formed on the lower surface of the top bridge 14. The upper support portion 73 is supported by being inserted into the insertion hole 14a of the top bridge 14. Thus, the mounting member 23 is supported on the bottom bridge 15 by the fixing portion 65 of the plate-shaped portion 61, and supported on the top bridge 14 by the upper ends 75 of a pair of support rods 62.

[0065] like Figure 14 As shown, the bosses 63 are respectively disposed on a pair of support rods 62. Figure 12 As shown, the boss 63 protrudes forward from the connecting portion 72 of the support rod 62. Bolts 47, which are inserted into the through holes 41a of the connector cover 31, are inserted into the respective bosses 63. Thus, as... Figure 5 As shown, the connector cover 31 is fixed on the boss portion 63.

[0066] The aforementioned connectors 34a-37a are covered by a waterproof cover 32, and further covered by a connector cover 31 in the front and a rear mounting section 64 in the rear.

[0067] The straddle-type vehicle 1 described above is a street-type vehicle. The straddle-type vehicle 1 includes a headlight unit 21, a headlight housing 22, a wiring harness 34, and a connector cover 31. The headlight housing 22 houses the headlight unit 21. The wiring harness 34 includes a connector 34a positioned below the headlight housing 22 and connected to the headlight unit 21. The connector cover 31 is separate from the headlight housing 22 and covers the connector 34a from the front. Therefore, by covering the connector 34a with the connector cover 31, the connector 34a is not visible, thus improving aesthetics. Since the front of the connector 34a is covered by the connector cover 31, waterproofing is improved. By arranging the connector 34a outside the headlight housing 22, the headlight housing 22 can be miniaturized. Since it is not necessary to house the connector 34a at the rear of the headlight housing 22, the headlight unit 21 and the headlight housing 22 can be positioned closer to the steering axis, thereby improving steering feel.

[0068] The above describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0069] The structure of connector cover 31 is not limited to the structure described in the above embodiment, and may be modified. The structure of waterproof cover 32 is not limited to the structure described in the above embodiment, and may be modified. The structure of mounting component 23 is not limited to the structure described in the above embodiment, and may be modified. The structure of plate-shaped portion 61 is not limited to the structure described in the above embodiment, and may be modified. The structure of support rod 62 is not limited to the structure described in the above embodiment, and may be modified. The number, arrangement, size, or shape of wire harnesses 34-37 are not limited to the structure described in the above embodiment, and may be modified.
