[0006] Technical Problems to be Solved by the Utility Model

[0007] However, in Patent Document 1, the air intake port serving as a suction port is provided on the front surface of the cover. However, depending on the saddle-riding type vehicle, if the running wind easily flows into the suction port, the intake air volume may be excessive. Therefore, even when the suction port is formed at the front portion of the vehicle body, it is required to adjust the amount of running wind flowing into the suction port. In addition, as a general technical problem, in order to reduce the fatigue of the driver, it is preferable that the running wind does not blow on the driver.

[0008] The present utility model has been completed in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a saddle-riding type vehicle that can easily obtain a sufficient required intake air volume even when the suction port is provided at the front portion of the vehicle body, and suppresses the running wind from blowing on the driver.

[0009] Means for Solving the Technical Problems

[0010] The saddle-riding type vehicle includes an energy storage portion, a shroud wing, and a shroud intake member. The shroud intake member is provided with a suction port, is disposed on the left and right sides of the energy storage portion, and guides the running wind to below the seat. The shroud wing is disposed in front of the shroud intake member, guides the running wind to the suction port through the lower surface of the shroud wing, and causes the running wind to flow to the side of the vehicle body through the upper surface of the shroud wing. The shroud wing has a wing main body portion at a position closer to the inside in the vehicle width direction than the side portion of the shroud wing. The wing main body portion includes a first pointed portion provided at the front side in the vehicle front-rear direction and at the inside in the vehicle width direction, and a second pointed portion provided at the rear side in the vehicle front-rear direction and at the outside in the vehicle width direction. When the vehicle body is viewed in side view, the wing main body portion, the suction port, and the energy storage portion are arranged in order from the front.

[0011] In this structure, it is also possible that the wing main body partially overlaps with the suction port when the vehicle body is viewed frontally.

[0012] In addition, in this structure, it is also possible that the suction port partially overlaps with the front riser when the vehicle body is viewed laterally.

[0013] In addition, in this structure, it is also possible that the wing main body is inclined upward toward the rear of the vehicle body and inclined upward toward the inner side in the vehicle body width direction.

[0014] In addition, in this structure, it is also possible that from the first tip portion toward the second tip portion, the angle of the wing main body with respect to the horizontal plane changes from a gentle slope to a steep slope.

[0015] Furthermore, in this structure, it is also possible that the wing main body has a swept-wing shape toward the inner side in the vehicle body width direction with respect to the side portion of the shroud wing.

[0016] Furthermore, in this structure, it is also possible that the shroud intake member is a CFRP product.

[0017] In addition, in this structure, it is also possible that the shroud wing is a PP product.

[0018] Utility Model Effect

[0019] It is possible to provide a saddle-riding type vehicle that can easily obtain a sufficient intake air volume required even when the suction port is provided at the front of the vehicle body, and suppresses the running wind from blowing on the driver. Description of the Drawings

In addition, the sub-frame portion 20b of the rear frame 20 is connected to the upper and lower intermediate portion of the pivot frame portion 19b.

[0071] In the present embodiment, the rear frame 20 is made of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics).

[0072] Figure 2 It is a perspective view of the saddle-type vehicle 10 as viewed from the upper left. Figure 3 It is a perspective view showing the main part of the saddle-type vehicle 10. Figure 4 It is from Figure 3 A view in which the box shroud 40 is omitted.

[0073] The straddle-type vehicle 10 has an instrument unit 31. The instrument unit 31 is supported in front of the handle 21. The instrument unit 31 is covered from the front by the front windshield 32.

[0074] As Figure 4 shown, a pair of left and right front boxes (energy storage units) 29f are supported by a pair of left and right main frame portions 19a. The front boxes 29f are formed symmetrically left and right. The front boxes 29f are in the shape of a container that is long in the vertical direction. The front boxes 29f are arranged at the front end portions of the main frame portions 19a, extending from the upper portions of the main frame portions 19a across the outer sides in the vehicle width direction. The front boxes 29f extend downward from the upper portions of the main frame portions 19a. The front boxes 29f have box upper portions 29f1 on the inner sides in the vehicle width direction and box lower portions 29f2 that extend downward from the lower portions of the box upper portions 29f1. The box lower portions 29f2 bulge outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the box upper portions 29f1. Accordingly, a recess 29f3 that is recessed inward in the vehicle width direction is formed by the outer side surfaces of the box upper portions 29f1 and the upper surfaces of the box lower portions 29f2. The recess 29f3 extends in the front-rear direction.

[0075] A pair of left and right rear boxes 29r are provided behind the front boxes 29f. The rear boxes 29r are supported by the rear frame 20. Specifically, the rear boxes 29r are supported by the seat frame portion 20a and the sub-frame portion 20b. The rear boxes 29r are connected to the front boxes 29f via fuel pipes.

[0076] In the present embodiment, the fuel tank 29 is constituted by the front boxes 29f and the rear boxes 29r.

[0077] Figure 5 is a perspective view of the straddle-type vehicle 10 as viewed from the rear upper side, showing the peripheral portion of the seat 17.

[0078] An air cleaner box 34 is arranged between the front box 29f and the rear box 29r. The air cleaner box 34 is arranged below the seat 17. Accordingly, when the seat 17 is removed from the straddle-type vehicle 10, the air cleaner box 34 is exposed upward between a pair of left and right seat frame portions 20a. The air cleaner box 34 has an air inlet 34a at the center portion in the vehicle width direction. The air inlet 34a opens rearward. The air cleaner box 34 takes in air from the intake space S below the seat 17. The intake space S is a space sandwiched between a pair of left and right seat frame portions 20a.

[0079] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the left box shroud 40 as viewed from the left front. Figure 7 is a perspective view of the left box shroud 40 as viewed from the left rear. Figure 8 is a side view of the left box shroud 40 as viewed from the outer side in the vehicle width direction. Figure 9 is a side view of the left box shroud 40 as viewed from the inner side in the vehicle width direction. Figure 10 is a top view of the left box shroud 40. Figure 11It is a bottom view of the box shroud 40 on the left side. Figure 12 It is a front view of the box shroud 40 on the left side.

[0080] Respective box shrouds 40 are provided on the outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the front boxes 29f on the left and right.

[0081] The box shroud 40 has a shroud intake member 50 disposed on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the front box 29f and a shroud wing 60 disposed in front of the shroud intake member 50.

[0082] The shroud intake member 50 covers the front box 29f from the outer side in the vehicle width direction. The shroud intake member 50 includes an outer shroud portion 51 that constitutes the outer surface of the vehicle body and an inner shroud portion 52 connected to the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the outer shroud portion 51.

[0083] The outer shroud portion 51 extends in the front-rear direction. The outer shroud portion 51 has a connecting portion 51a that is arc-shaped when viewed from the side. The outer shroud portion 51 has an upper portion 51b that bends inward in the vehicle width direction. The outer shroud portion 51 is disposed above the box lower portion 29f2 and covers the box upper portion 29f1 from the outer side in the vehicle width direction. That is, the outer shroud portion 51 is supported to cover the concave portion 29f3 from the outer side in the vehicle width direction. Thus, a duct portion S1 extending in the front-rear direction is formed by the side surface of the front box 29f and the outer shroud portion 51 (see Figure 5 ). The duct portion S1 communicates with the intake space S. The rear portion of the outer shroud portion 51 extends along the seat frame portion 20a to the front end portion of the seat frame portion 20a (see Figure 1 ).

[0084] The inner shroud portion 52 is connected to the front end portion of the outer shroud portion 51 from the inner side in the vehicle width direction. The inner shroud portion 52 is connected to the upper portion 51b and the lower portion of the outer shroud portion 51. The inner shroud portion 52 is connected opposite to the outer shroud portion 51. Thus, a tubular duct 53 extending in the front-rear direction is formed between the outer shroud portion 51 and the inner shroud portion 52 (see Figure 6 ). Through the surrounding shape of the leading edges of the outer shroud portion 51 and the inner shroud portion 52, a suction port 54 that is the entrance of the duct 53 is formed. A fixing portion 52a that bends inward in the vehicle width direction is formed at the rear end of the inner shroud portion 52. The fixing portion 52a is fixed to the front surface of the box upper portion 29f1 of the front box 29f. Thus, the duct 53 communicates with the duct portion S1 formed by the outer shroud portion 51 and the concave portion 29f3 of the front box 29f.

[0085] The shroud wing 60 is connected to the front side of the shroud intake member 50. The shroud wing 60 has a shroud side surface portion (shroud wing side portion) 61 that extends in the up-down direction and a wing main body portion 62 formed at the front end of the shroud side surface portion 61.

[0086] A connecting portion 61a that is recessed in an arc shape from the rear edge toward the front is formed on the side surface portion 61 of the shroud. The shroud intake member 50 is connected in a state where the connecting portion 51a of the shroud intake member 50 enters the connecting portion 61a. A slit hole 61b extending in the vertical direction is formed below the connecting portion 61a.

[0087] At the upper front end of the side surface portion 61 of the shroud, a wing main body portion 62 formed to bend inward in the vehicle width direction is supported. The wing main body portion 62 is formed in a swept-wing shape with respect to the side surface portion 61 of the shroud. That is, when the side surface portion 61 of the shroud is regarded as the main body of the machine, the wing main body portion 62 is in a swept-wing shape with respect to the main body of the machine. In other words, a notch 63 that tapers toward the front is formed between the wing main body portion 62 and the side surface portion 61 of the shroud. The wing main body portion 62 is located at a position inward in the vehicle width direction from the side surface portion 61 of the shroud. The wing main body portion 62 is disposed at a position forward of the fork tube 14a of the front fork 14. A part of the wing main body portion 62 overlaps the fork tube 14a when viewed from the front (see Figure 14 ).

[0088] The wing main body portion 62 is a substantially plate-like shape having an upper surface (shroud wing upper surface) 62a and a lower surface (shroud wing lower surface) 62b and a substantially fixed thickness. The wing main body portion 62 is formed such that the traveling wind along the upper surface 62a flows toward the side of the driver R as an example of the side of the saddle-riding type vehicle 10 (see Figure 16 ), and the lower surface 62b is formed such that the traveling wind along the lower surface 62b is guided to the suction port 54.

[0089] In the present embodiment, the wing main body portion 62 has a front inner tip portion (first tip portion) 62c at the front side in the vehicle body front-rear direction and the inner side in the vehicle body width direction. The front inner tip portion 62c is formed to taper at the end as it approaches the front side in the vehicle body front-rear direction and the inner side in the vehicle body width direction. In addition, the wing main body portion 62 has a rear outer tip portion (second tip portion) 62d at the rear side in the vehicle body front-rear direction and the outer side in the vehicle body width direction. The rear outer tip portion 62d tapers at the end as it approaches the rear side in the vehicle body front-rear direction and the outer side in the vehicle body width direction. In other words, the notch 63 is formed between the wing main body portion 62 and the side surface portion 61 of the shroud by the rear outer tip portion 62d.

[0090] The wing main body portion 62 is inclined upward toward the rear of the vehicle body (see Figure 8 , Figure 12 ). In addition, the wing main body portion 62 is inclined upward toward the inner side in the vehicle body width direction (see Figures 6 - 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 12)。In the present embodiment, the wing main body portion 62 is continuously bent and inclined. In other words, in the present embodiment, the wing main body portion 62 is smoothly bent and inclined. From the front inner tip portion 62c toward the rear outer tip portion 62d, the angle of the wing main body portion 62 with respect to the horizontal plane changes from the gentle slope 62e to the steep slope 62f. Here, the horizontal plane is used for the case where the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 is going straight and upright. That is, in the case where the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 is going straight and upright, in the wing main body portion 62, from the front inner tip portion 62c toward the rear outer tip portion 62d, the angle changes from the gentle slope 62e to the steep slope 62f with respect to the horizontal plane. More specifically, in Figures 6 - 12 and other figures, an auxiliary line connecting the front inner tip portion 62c and the rear outer tip portion 62d is indicated by a dashed line. The auxiliary line is shown as a straight line for convenience in each figure. As moving along the auxiliary line from the front inner tip portion 62c toward the rear outer tip portion 62d, the angle changes from the gentle slope 62e to the steep slope 62f.

[0091] In the present embodiment, the shroud intake member 50 is a CFRP product. The shroud wing 60 is a PP (polypropylene) product. In the shroud wing 60, the wing main body portion 62 is supported in a cantilever shape with respect to the shroud side surface portion 61. Here, by making the shroud wing 60 a PP product, when the shroud wing 60 comes into contact with the ground or the like, the shroud wing 60 can be easily bent to easily absorb impact and is difficult to break.

[0092] Figure 13 is a top view of the main part of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10. Figure 14 is a front view of the main part of the saddle-ride type vehicle 10. Figure 15 is showing the periphery of the box shroud 40 Figure 1 magnified view.

[0093] The box shroud 40 is installed on the side of the front box 29f. At this time, the wing main body portion 62, the suction port 54, and the front box 29f are arranged in order from the front. The suction port 54 opens forward. The suction port 54 overlaps with the front standpipe 18 when observing the vehicle body from the side (refer to Figure 15 ). The suction port 54 is located at a position outside the fork tube 14a in the vehicle width direction (refer to Figure 14 ). In addition, the wing main body portion 62 of the shroud wing 60 overlaps with the suction port 54 when observing the vehicle body from the front (refer to Figure 14 ). Specifically, the wing main body portion 62 overlaps with the lower part of the suction port 54 and does not overlap with the upper part when observing the vehicle body from the front. As Figure 15As shown, the wing main body portion 62 is located above the front fender 26. That is, the wing main body portion 62 is located above the horizontal plane H1 passing through the upper end of the front fender 26. The upper end of the suction port 54 is located above the wing main body portion 62. The wing main body portion 62 and the suction port 54 are arranged below the front windshield 32. That is, the wing main body portion 62 and the suction port 54 are arranged below the horizontal plane H2 passing through the lower end of the front windshield 32.

[0094] In addition, as Figure 15 shown, when observing the vehicle body in side view, the angle θ1 of the rear end of the wing main body portion 62 with respect to the horizontal plane H1 and the angle θ2 of the axis of the front standpipe 18 with respect to the horizontal plane H2 are set to be substantially parallel. In addition, when observing the vehicle body in side view, the angle θ3 of the auxiliary line connecting the front inner tip 62c and the rear outer tip 62d with respect to the horizontal plane H1 is smaller than the angle θ2 formed by the front standpipe 18 with respect to the horizontal plane H2. In addition, the angles θ1 to θ3 are acute angles. Thus, the wing main body portion 62 can more accurately direct the traveling wind to the suction port 54 using the lower surface 62b, and cause the traveling wind to flow to the side of the vehicle body formed by the frame 11 and the like using the upper surface 62a.

[0095] As Figure 14 shown, a pair of left and right radiators 35 are arranged between the left and right box shrouds 40. An engine protector 36 is arranged below the radiator 35. The engine protector 36 covers the power unit 12 from the front. In the present embodiment, the engine protector 36 is a CFRP product.

[0096] Figure 16 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the present embodiment.

[0097] When the saddle-riding type vehicle 10 travels, as shown by the arrows A1 and B1, the traveling wind flows from the front toward the wing main body portion 62 of the shroud wing 60. The traveling wind flowing along the upper surface 62a of the wing main body portion 62 is guided by the upper surface 62a toward the side of the vehicle body as shown by the arrow A2, and easily flows on the side of the driver R as shown by the arrow A3. Therefore, the driver R is not easily affected by the resistance of the traveling wind, and fatigue of the driver R is not easily accumulated.

[0098] In addition, the traveling wind flowing along the lower surface 62b of the wing main body portion 62 (refer to Figure 9 , Figure 11 ) is guided by the lower surface 62b toward the suction port 54 as shown by the arrow B2, and is easily directed to the suction port 54 of the shroud intake member 50 as shown by the arrow B3. The traveling wind entering the suction port 54 flows into the intake space S through the pipe 53 and the pipe portion S1. Thus, the air cleaner box 34 can easily intake an appropriate amount of air. Therefore, a sufficient intake amount required can be obtained, and it is easy to improve the traveling performance of the saddle-riding type vehicle 10.

[0099] In the present embodiment, the suction port 54 is disposed at the front part of the vehicle body in front of the front case 29f, and the suction port 54 opens forward, so it is a structure in which the running wind may flow in excessively. In contrast, in the present embodiment, by providing the wing main body portion 62, the running wind flows toward the side of the vehicle body through the upper surface 62a, and it is easy to allow only the running wind along the lower surface 62b to flow into the suction port 54, so that it is easy to adjust to a sufficient intake air volume required.

[0100] Here, it may be considered to provide the suction port not at the front part of the vehicle body but at the side part of the intake space S. However, when the suction port is provided at the side part of the vehicle body, due to the hole shape of the suction port, the material of the components on the side part of the vehicle body may be restricted, or it may be blocked by the driver's leg, making it difficult to ensure an appropriate intake air volume. In contrast, in the present embodiment, by providing the suction port 54 at the front part of the vehicle body and providing the wing main body portion 62 at a position in front of the suction port 54, it is easy to ensure a sufficient intake air volume required.

[0101] In addition, in the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a wing shape such as the wing main body portion 62 while eliminating the protrusion toward the outside in the vehicle body width direction.

[0114] In addition, in the present embodiment, the shroud intake member 50 is a CFRP product.

[0115] According to this structure, for the shroud intake member 50, deformation caused by vibration during driving can be suppressed, and vehicle body weight reduction can be achieved.

[0116] In addition, in the present embodiment, the shroud wing 60 is a PP product.

[0117] According to this structure, even if it comes into contact and topples over during driving, it is not easily broken, and the durability of the shield wing 60 can be improved.

[0118] [Other Embodiments]

[0119] The described embodiment only represents one mode of the present utility model, and can be arbitrarily deformed and applied within the scope of not departing from the gist of the present utility model.

[0120] In the described embodiment, a structure in which the wing main body portion 62 is continuously bent and inclined is illustrated, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the wing main body portion 62 may be inclined discontinuously. Specifically, it may be a structure in which a ridge line is formed on the wing main body portion 62 that forms a boundary between inclined surfaces inclined at different angles. That is, the wing main body portion 62 may be inclined stepwise.

[0121] In the described embodiment, as the saddle-riding type vehicle 10, a saddle-riding type vehicle 10 having a power unit 12 as an internal combustion engine is illustrated, but it is not limited thereto. For example, as the saddle-riding type vehicle 10, it may also be a vehicle that does not have a power unit 12 as an internal combustion engine, that is, an electric vehicle. Therefore, in the described embodiment, the power unit 12 is illustrated as the power unit for driving the vehicle body, but as the power unit, it may also be a power unit equipped with an electric motor for driving. In addition, instead of the fuel tank 29 as the energy storage unit, the energy storage unit may be a battery for driving. Here, in the case of an electric vehicle, in order to cool the power unit and the battery, the suction port 54 can be used as the suction port for taking in the running wind.

[0122] In the described embodiment, as the saddle-riding type vehicle 10, a two-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel 13 and a rear wheel 15 is illustrated as an example, but the present utility model is not limited thereto, and the present utility model can be applied to a three-wheeled saddle-riding type vehicle having two front wheels or rear wheels or a saddle-riding type vehicle having four or more wheels.
