Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a motorcycle, in particular to a motorcycle with a special fender on the front wheel. The fender can not only prevent the rider from being hit by the splashed sand and gravel, but also avoid the shock absorber being damaged by the impact of sand and gravel. Background Art

[0002] A motorcycle is a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle that can move via an engine. Moreover, the motorcycle can change its moving direction via a steering mechanism. Thus, the motorcycle has the advantages of easy operation, convenient parking, and high mobility, making it the most popular means of transportation currently.

[0003] When a motorcycle is traveling on the road, the rapidly rotating wheels often pick up and splash the sand and gravel on the road surface to the surroundings. These splashed sand and gravel may hit the rider or important components on the motorcycle, increasing the danger in the use of the motorcycle. Among them, the sand and gravel splashing along the tangent direction of the tire are the most dangerous.

[0004] Therefore, in order to prevent the rider and important components of the motorcycle from being affected by the splashed sand and gravel, the motorcycles on the market currently are equipped with fenders around the wheels. These fenders can effectively block foreign objects such as sand, gravel, and mud splashed by the wheels during driving.

[0005] However, most of the fenders currently installed on motorcycles are designed for foreign objects splashing in the tangent direction. In actual situations, sand and gravel may splash from multiple angles, causing the unshielded parts of the motorcycle to be hit by sand and gravel, thereby damaging the components on the motorcycle. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a motorcycle and a front-wheel fender cover with an improved fender structure, so that the sand and gravel splashed by the vehicle during driving are not easily hit on the upside-down shock absorber. The improved fender can block the sand and gravel splashed by the front wheel during driving, make good use of the space between the original upside-down shock absorber and the wheel, and improve the protection degree of the upside-down shock absorber.

[0007] To achieve the foregoing purpose, the utility model provides a motorcycle, which is characterized in that it includes: a front wheel, two upside-down shock absorbers, and a front-wheel fender cover.

Detailed implementation manners

[0031] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and the drawings. The advantages and features of the present utility model will become clearer as the description proceeds.

[0032] In this drawing, the two sides of the X-axis refer to the left and right sides when the driver is sitting on the motorcycle 1, the Y-axis refers to the front and rear sides when the driver is sitting on the motorcycle 1, and the two sides of the Z-axis refer to the upper and lower sides when the driver is sitting on the motorcycle 1. Therefore, in the specification of this case, directional terms such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", and "lower" refer to the directions faced by the driver when sitting on the motorcycle 1.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of a motorcycle 1 of the present utility model, the motorcycle 1 has a rear wheel 11 that rotates in cooperation with the engine, a front wheel 12, a front frame 13, a rear frame 14, a front wheel mudguard 2, and two upside-down shock absorbers 3. The front frame 13 and the rear frame 14 are locked and fixed by a fastener 15, and the front frame 13 is connected to the front wheel 12, while the rear frame 14 is connected to the rear wheel 11. When the engine drives the rear wheel 11 to rotate forward, the motorcycle 1 will move forward, and thereby the front wheel 12 will also rotate forward simultaneously.

[0034] Please refer to again Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the two inverted shock absorbers 3 respectively have an outer cylinder 31 disposed below a head tube 131 of the front frame 13 and an inner tube 32 connected to the front wheel 12, and the outer cylinder 31 is stretchably connected to the inner tube 32. The inner tube 32 has a front connecting bracket 33 and a rear connecting bracket 34. The front wheel mudguard 2 is connected to the two inverted shock absorbers 3 and is arranged along the contour of the front wheel 12. When a rider drives the motorcycle 1 forward, gravel on the road surface will be caught in the treads of the tires, and due to the high-speed rotation of the front wheel 12, the gravel will be thrown in all directions. The setting of the front wheel mudguard 2 can prevent the rider and important components of the motorcycle 1 from being struck by the splashing gravel.

[0035] Please refer to again Figure 3 and Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, the front wheel mudguard 2 includes two side covers 21, a front cover 22 and a rear cover 23. The two side covers 21 have a connecting portion 212 connected to the front connecting bracket 33 and a protective portion 211 extending toward the front wheel 12, so that the two side covers 21 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the front wheel 12, and the protective portion 211 shields the inverted shock absorber 3 along a riding direction. Both sides of the front cover 22 respectively have an extending portion 221 extending downward, and the extending portion 221 is connected between the connecting portion 212 and the front connecting bracket 33.

[0036] In addition, the rear cover 23 is connected to the rear connecting bracket 34, so that the rear cover 23 and the front cover 22 are arranged on opposite sides of the two inverted shock absorbers 3, and the rear cover 23 has two downwardly connected first attachment points 231 and two forward second attachment points 232. The rear cover 23 is connected to the front cover 22 through the two first attachment points 231 and the two second attachment points 232. The rear cover 23 can increase the area shielded by the front wheel mudguard 2, reduce the splashing gravel flying toward the rider, and improve safety during driving.

[0037] Please refer to again Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the length of the protection part 211 is less than an original length of the exposed inner tube 32, such that when the motorcycle 1 is not under pressure, the protection part 211 only shields a partial area of the upside-down shock absorber 3. However, when the rider drives the motorcycle 1, the weight of the rider himself will apply a downward pressure F to the motorcycle 1. When the two upside-down shock absorbers 3 receive the downward pressure F, the outer cylinders 31 of the two upside-down shock absorbers 3 will be pressed downward, causing the length of the exposed inner tube 32 to shorten from the original length to a compressed length. Thus, the design of the length of the protection part 211 can provide comprehensive protection for the two upside-down shock absorbers 3 in a case shorter than the original length and can save the materials required for manufacturing.

[0038] Please refer again to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the two side covers 21 respectively further have a connection part 212. The connection part 212 has a first mounting hole 212a for connecting with the front connection bracket 33 and a second mounting hole 212b for mounting a reflector 24. Among them, the first mounting hole 212a near the upper side can also clamp the extension part 221 with the front connection bracket 33.

[0039] Please refer again to Figure 4 As shown, the protection part 211 extends along the contour of the upside-down shock absorber 3 to form an arc-shaped outer profile, such that an equidistant interval length is formed between the upside-down shock absorber 3 and the protection part 211.

[0040] Among them, the size of the protection part 211 is not limited to the form in this embodiment. The protection part 211 can further extend along the contour of the upside-down shock absorber 3 until the rear cover 23, further improving the protection range of the protection part 211.

[0041] In order to prevent gravel from splashing onto the upside-down shock absorber 3 from the space between the front wheel 12 and the side cover 21 when the motorcycle 1 is running, therefore, the protection part 211 is extended from the side cover 21 to block the gravel, and considering that the rider will apply the downward pressure F to the motorcycle 1 in actual use, the length of the protection part 211 is set to be less than the original length of the exposed inner tube 32.

[0042] The above description is illustrative rather than restrictive to the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that many modifications, changes or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the claims, but all will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
