[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, since it is not necessary to take in all the running wind when the vehicle is running, it is preferred to properly guide the running wind toward the outside of the vehicle body. In particular, there are cases where the exhaust volume of vehicles of the same design varies. When the exhaust volume varies, the strength of the running wind received by the vehicle body may change. Therefore, the position where the running wind should be introduced may change depending on the vehicle model. Therefore, a wind guide structure is desired, which can easily adjust the wind guide property and can properly guide the running wind to multiple locations on the front hood.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a saddle-ride type vehicle in which the wind guide property can be easily adjusted and the running wind can be appropriately guided to a plurality of locations of the front hood.

[0009] Means for solving problems

[0010] A saddle-riding type vehicle is provided with a front hood covering the front part of the vehicle body, characterized in that the front hood includes: a hood nose portion, which covers the front surface of the vehicle body and the lower part of the front surface of the vehicle body; and a hood nose portion, which covers a part of the hood nose portion from the front, and a locking portion is provided at the front end portion of the hood nose portion along the shape of the hood nose portion, and the hood nose portion has an inclined surface that radially guides traveling wind toward the hood nose, and covers the locking portion and is locked to the locking portion.

[0107] Fig. 9 is along Figure 2 Cross-sectional view along line IX-IX.

[0108] The rectifying member 92 has a convex portion (convex portion) 92a that is convex toward the front of the vehicle body. The convex portion 92a extends in the left-right direction. The convex portion 92a is in an arcuate shape that bends toward the rear as it approaches the outer side in the vehicle width direction. The convex portion 92a is gently curved. A bent portion (bent portion) 92b is formed at both ends of the convex portion 92a in the vehicle width direction, and the bent portion (bent portion) 92b has a smaller inclination angle than the convex portion 92a with respect to the vehicle travel direction. That is, with respect to a line extending on the near side of the outer end portion of the rectifying member 92 in the vehicle width direction along the vehicle travel direction, the inclination angle formed by the bent portion 92b is smaller than the inclination angle formed by the convex portion 92a. In other words, the bent portion 92b bends toward the rear from the convex portion 92a. The bent portion 92b is inclined toward the rear as it approaches the outer side in the vehicle width direction. A folded surface (folded portion) 92c extending in the vehicle body travel direction is formed on the outer side of the bent surface 92b in the vehicle width direction. The folded surface 92c faces the inner side of the vehicle body. The folded surface 92c is inclined forward as it approaches the outer side in the vehicle width direction. In the present embodiment, the folded surface 92c is formed by the inner surface of the side frame portion 91b. The front end of the folded surface 92c is formed in a coplanar shape with the front end of the headlight portion 51a.

[0109] Fig.10 It is a front view of the main part of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 showing a state in which the upper hood 61, the side hood 62, the hood nose portion 70, and the hood nose portion 80 of the first embodiment are removed.

[0110] The headlight unit 51 has a central recessed portion 51b that is recessed rearwardly formed between the left and right headlight portions 51a. The central recessed portion 51b extends in the up-down direction.

[0111] An ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System) antenna 110 as an example of an electrical component is arranged at the lower front of the central recess 51b. The ETC antenna 110 is connected to a control device (not shown) via a cable. The ETC antenna 110 is controlled by a control device (not shown). The ETC antenna 110 is installed at the front end of the vehicle body. Therefore, the ETC antenna 110 is installed at an appropriate position where data can be easily transmitted and received with an external device.

[0112] Here, in Fig. 9 The saddle-riding type vehicle 10 shown is equipped with a nose cover 70. At this time, when viewed from the front, the access opening 76d of the connecting portion 71 of the nose cover 70 overlaps with the ETC antenna 110. That is, the ETC antenna 110 is exposed when viewed from the front through the access opening 76d of the nose cover 70. The ETC antenna 110 can be loaded and unloaded through the access opening 76d. In addition, the rectifying portion 75 of the nose cover 70 is arranged opposite to the central recess 61b of the lens unit.

[0113] The cover nose portion 80 is locked to the locking portion 100 of the cover nose portion 70. At this time, the locking portion 100 is covered by the cover nose portion 80. Therefore, the entrance and exit opening 76d is also covered, and the ETC antenna 110 is covered from the front.

[0114] When the hood nose 80 is locked, the side hood 62 is mounted on the vehicle body. At this time, the lower extension portion 62c of the side hood 62 overlaps with the side hood engaging portion 85 of the hood nose 80 from the front. The lower extension portion 62c is locked to the hood engaging portion 77d of the hood nose 70 together with the side hood engaging portion 85. As a result, the hood nose 80 is not easily disassembled. In addition, the lower extension portion 62c forms a groove portion 84c together with the lateral inclined surface 84 of the hood nose 80. The groove portion 84c extends toward the duct portion 73, so that the traveling wind flowing in the groove portion 84c is easily guided to the duct portion 73.

[0115] When the side hood 62 is mounted, the upper hood 61 is mounted. The upper hood 61 overlaps with the vehicle width direction inner side edge of the upper extension 62b of the side hood 62 from above. The upper hood 61 engages with the upper hood engagement portion 95 of the hood nose 70 from the front.

[0116] Thus, the front hood 41 is mounted on Fig. 9 A saddle-ride type vehicle 10 is shown.

[0117] Fig.11 It is a left side view showing the main part of the front part of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 according to the first embodiment. Fig.12 is along Figure 2 Cross-sectional view along line XII-XII in FIG. Fig.13 is along Figure 2 Cross-sectional view along line XIII-XIII in FIG. Fig.14 is along Figure 2 Cross-sectional view along line XIV-XIV in FIG. Fig.15 It is a diagram for explaining the operation of the first embodiment.

[0118] When the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 is traveling, the traveling wind blows from the front to the front hood 41. Fig.15 As shown by the middle arrow W, the running wind toward the edge 81 of the hood nose 80 flows upward along the upper inclined surface 82, or flows downward along the lower inclined surface 83. In addition, a part of the running wind flows in the vehicle width direction along the side inclined surface 84, and is guided into the front hood 41 through the duct 73a of the hood nose 70.

[0119] like Fig.14As shown by the middle arrow W, the running wind guided into the front hood 41 flows rearward along the inner surface of the front hood 41 through the outer side of the fork tube 14a of the front fork 14, etc., and is discharged together with the exhaust heat of the radiator 53 through the exhaust duct 63a of the duct cover 63 and the exhaust duct 62d of the side hood 62, or further flows rearward in the vehicle body cover 40. Therefore, the equipment inside the front hood 41 is easily cooled, and the running wind flows inside and outside the front hood 41, so that the running stability is easily ensured.

[0120] Here, in this embodiment, a wing plate surface 78 is formed on the mask nose portion 70. The wing plate surface 78 is inclined relative to the lower inclined surface 83. Fig.12 As shown by the middle arrow W, the traveling wind flowing along the lower inclined surface 83 is separated from the front hood 41 by the wing surface 78, detours downward, and easily flows into the front hood 41 through the front hood opening 74a. Therefore, the traveling wind flowing along the lower inclined surface 83 can be prevented from going straight by the wing surface 78, and the turbulence of the traveling wind can be easily prevented.

[0121] On the other hand, guide surfaces 79 are formed on both sides of the wing plate surface 78. The guide surfaces 79 are connected to the side inclined surfaces 84 in a substantially coplanar manner. Fig.13 As shown by the arrow W, the running wind flowing along the side inclined surface 84 will not be separated from the front hood 41 and can easily go straight. Therefore, the running wind flowing along the side inclined surface 84 can be easily guided to the outside in the vehicle width direction along the inclined shape of the side inclined surface 84.

[0122] In addition, on the rectifying portion 75, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown by the arrow W in the middle, a part of the running wind is split to the left and right by the rectifying member 92, and easily flows to the outside of the rectifying portion 75 in the vehicle width direction by the folding surface 92c. In addition, the running wind that enters the interior of the front hood 41 through the openings 93a and 93b is as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown by the middle arrow W, the air is guided upward by the central recess 51 b , passes between the upper hood 61 and the headlight unit 51 , flows from the end of the upper hood 61 to the upper outside of the front hood 41 , and easily flows to the rear of the windshield 52 .

[0123] As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, in a saddle-riding type vehicle 10 having a front hood 41 covering the front portion of a vehicle body, the front hood 41 includes: a hood nose portion 70 covering the front surface of the vehicle body and the lower portion of the front surface of the vehicle body; and a hood nose portion 80 covering a portion of the hood nose portion 70 from the front, a locking portion 100 is provided at the front end portion of the hood nose portion 70 along the shape of the hood nose portion 80, the hood nose portion 80 has inclined surfaces 82, 83, 84 for radially guiding traveling wind toward the hood nose portion 70, and covers the locking portion 100 and is locked to the locking portion 100.

[0124] According to this structure, by installing the hood nose 80 at the front end of the hood nose 70, the running wind can be easily guided upward, downward, leftward, and rightward by the hood nose 80, and the wind guiding property can be easily adjusted by making the hood nose 70 and the hood nose 80 separate. Therefore, according to this structure, the wind guiding property can be easily adjusted by the hood member such as the hood nose 80, and the running wind can be appropriately guided to multiple parts of the front hood 41.

[0125] In this embodiment, the hood nose 80 has an edge 81 extending in the horizontal direction, an upper inclined surface 82 facing obliquely upward in the vehicle travel direction is provided above the edge 81, and a lower inclined surface 83 facing obliquely downward in the vehicle travel direction is provided below the edge 81.

[0126] According to this structure, the upper inclined surface 82 can be used to guide the traveling wind upward, so that the traveling wind can flow above the occupant's head through the upper hood 61 and the windshield 52 that constitute the upper front surface of the front hood 41, and the lower inclined surface 83 can be used to make the traveling wind flow to the inside of the front hood 41, which can easily improve the driving stability.

[0127] In the present embodiment, the hood nose portion 80 includes a pair of left and right side inclined surfaces 84 that are inclined outward and downward in the vehicle width direction from side ends of the lower inclined surface 83 toward the rear in the vehicle body traveling direction.

[0128] According to this configuration, the traveling wind received from the front can be guided to the sides of the vehicle body by the side inclined surfaces 84, the traveling wind can be rectified, and the traveling stability can be easily improved.

[0129] In addition, in the present embodiment, the front hood 41 has a front hood opening 74a that opens forward and downward, and the edge of the hood nose 70 is exposed as a surface adjacent to the lower edge of the lower inclined surface 83. A fender surface 78 is formed at the edge of the hood nose 70, and the fender surface 78 has an inclination angle relative to the horizontal plane that is larger than the inclination angle of the lower inclined surface 83. The fender surface 78 is located at a position closer to the inside in the vehicle width direction than the front hood opening 74a of the front hood 41.

[0130] According to this structure, the wing surface 78 causes the running wind flowing from the lower inclined surface 83 toward the hood nose portion 70 to bounce and separate from the front hood 41, and the separated running wind can be guided toward the rear of the vehicle body or the upper part of the interior of the front hood 41. Therefore, according to this structure, it is possible to suppress the running wind from colliding with the vicinity of the radiator 53 on the extension line of the lower inclined surface 83.

[0131] In the present embodiment, the front stem 18 provided at the front portion of the vehicle body and the front fork 14 rotatably supported by the front stem 18 are provided, and the wing surface 78 is located at least on the inner side in the vehicle width direction than the front fork 14 .

[0132] According to this structure, the traveling wind separated from the blade surface 78 can be easily guided into the vehicle body without being affected by the front fork 14 .

[0133] In addition, in the present embodiment, the edge of the mask nose portion 70 is exposed at a position adjacent to the lower edge of the lateral inclined surface 84 , and the edge of the mask nose portion 70 is formed substantially flush with the lateral inclined surface 84 .

[0134] According to this structure, even at the connection portion between the hood nose portion 80 and the hood nose portion 70 , the traveling wind along the front hood 41 can be easily made to go straight, and the wind can be easily guided in the left-right direction.

[0135] In the present embodiment, the front stem 18 provided at the front portion of the vehicle body and the front fork 14 rotatably supported by the front stem 18 are provided, and the lateral inclined surface 84 extends to the outer side in the vehicle width direction relative to the front fork 14 .

[0136] According to this configuration, the traveling wind can be easily guided to the side of the vehicle body without entering the front fork 14 side.

[0137] In the present embodiment, the duct 73 a is provided in the hood nose portion 70 behind the lateral inclined surface 84 and on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the lateral inclined surface 84 .

[0138] According to this structure, the traveling wind can be guided to the inside of the front hood 41 through the duct 73a, the inside of the front hood 41 can be cooled, and the traveling stability can be easily improved.

[0139] In addition, in the present embodiment, a flow regulating member 92 formed integrally with the mask nose portion 70 is provided at a position adjacent to the upper end of the upper inclined surface 82 .

[0140] According to this configuration, the traveling wind is directly guided to the position of the straightening member 92 by the upper inclined surface 82 , so the traveling wind can be efficiently straightened by the straightening member 92 .

[0141] In addition, in the present embodiment, the straightening component 92 includes: a convex portion 92a, which forms a convex shape toward the front of the vehicle body; a bent portion 92b, which is arranged at both ends of the convex portion 92a in the vehicle width direction and has a smaller inclination angle than the convex portion 92a relative to the vehicle travel direction; and a return portion 92c, which is arranged on the outer side of the bent portion 92b in the vehicle width direction, extends toward the vehicle travel direction and faces the inner side of the vehicle body.

[0142] According to this configuration, the traveling wind can be collected from the convex surface portion 92a to the bent surface portion 92b and dispersed in the vehicle width direction from the turned surface portion 92c. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of the traveling stability.

[0143] In addition, in the present embodiment, the nose portion 70 is provided with imaginary surfaces 93 and 94 connected to the straightening member 92 above and below, respectively. Each imaginary surface 93 and 94 is recessed toward the rear of the vehicle body relative to the convex portion 92a, and openings 93a and 94a are formed in the recess.

[0144] According to this configuration, the pressure can be adjusted by causing part of the traveling wind that has hit the rectifying member 92 and has increased in pressure to flow from the openings 93a and 94a into the front hood 41. Therefore, the pressure can be adjusted while contributing to improving the traveling stability.

[0145] In addition, in the present embodiment, a pair of left and right headlight portions 51a are provided at the front portion of the vehicle body, and an entrance and exit opening 76d connected to the interior of the front hood 41 is provided at the front end portion of the locking portion 100 and on the inner side of the pair of left and right headlight portions 51a in the vehicle width direction, and an electrical component different from the headlight portion 51a, namely, an ETC antenna 110, is arranged in the entrance and exit opening 76d.

[0146] According to this configuration, by arranging the ETC antenna 110 in the access opening 76d, it is possible to ensure access convenience during maintenance or the like without removing the entire front hood 41 from the vehicle body.

[0147] [Second embodiment]

[0148] A second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. In the second embodiment, components having the same configuration as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

[0149] Fig.16 It is a perspective view showing the front periphery of a saddle-ride type vehicle 210 according to the second embodiment, as viewed from the right front.

[0150] The saddle-ride type vehicle 210 of the second embodiment is configured such that the displacement of the power unit 12 is smaller than that of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 of the first embodiment. The appearance shape, that is, the appearance design of the saddle-ride type vehicle 210 is substantially the same as that of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10. Specifically, the saddle-ride type vehicle 210 has a rectifying portion 275 of a hood nose portion 270 instead of the rectifying portion 75 of the hood nose portion 70 of the first embodiment.

[0151] In the rectifying portion 275 of the second embodiment, the openings 93a and 94a are not formed. That is, recessed surfaces 293 and 294 are formed above and below the rectifying member 92. In other words, the openings 93a and 94a are closed by the surfaces 293 and 294.

[0152] Therefore, in this embodiment, the traveling wind entering the periphery of the edge 81 can be guided by the hood nose 270 and the hood nose 80 having substantially the same appearance shape, so that the wind can be easily guided radially from the edge 81. Therefore, in the second embodiment, by installing the hood nose 80 at the front end of the hood nose 270, the traveling wind can be easily guided upward, downward, leftward, and rightward by the hood nose 80, and by making the hood nose 270 and the hood nose 80 separate, the wind guiding property can be easily adjusted.

[0153] In particular, in this embodiment, the nose portion 270 includes surfaces 293 and 294 that touch the airflow regulating member 92 above and below the airflow regulating member 92 , respectively, and each of the surfaces 293 and 294 is recessed toward the rear of the vehicle body relative to the convex surface portion 92 a .

[0154] According to this structure, the pressure of the traveling wind that collides with the rectifying member 92 can be easily increased, and the traveling wind can be easily guided to the outside in the vehicle width direction in the state of increased pressure. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of traveling stability while adjusting the pressure.

[0156] The above-described embodiment merely shows one mode of the present invention, and any modification and application are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0157] In the first and second embodiments described above, the saddle-riding type vehicle 10 having the power unit 12 as an internal combustion engine is exemplified as the saddle-riding type vehicle 10, 210, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the saddle-riding type vehicle 10, 210 may be a vehicle that does not have the power unit 12 as an internal combustion engine, that is, an electric vehicle. Therefore, in the above embodiments, the power unit 12 is exemplified as the power unit for driving the vehicle body, but the power unit may also be a power unit having an electric motor for driving.

[0158] In the above embodiment, as the saddle-riding vehicle 10, an automatic two-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel 13 and a rear wheel 15 is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this.
