Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a flat - pedal motorcycle that can move forward powered by electricity, fuel, or a hybrid of electricity and fuel. In particular, when the flat - pedal motorcycle moves forward, it can prevent sludge from entering the interior of the vehicle shell and adhering to the vehicle components inside the vehicle shell, and relatively can avoid corrosion of the vehicle components. 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. Therefore, the motorcycle has the advantages of easy operation, convenient parking, and high mobility, making it the most popular means of transportation currently.

[0003] Please refer to Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the common existing flat - pedal motorcycle 50 on the market has a frame 51, a front wheel 52, and a vehicle shell 53. The frame 51 is sequentially provided with a head tube 511, a front vehicle tube 512, two pedal tubes 513, and two rear vehicle tubes 514 from front to back. The front wheel 52 is arranged in front of the front vehicle tube 512. In addition, the vehicle shell 53 has two parts: a footrest 531 and a deflector 532. The footrest 531 is arranged above the two pedal tubes 513, so that the footrest 531 is located between the front vehicle tube 512 and the rear vehicle tubes 514. The deflector 532 is connected to the pedal tube 513, and an air inlet 532a with a height position between the pedal tube 513 and the footrest 531 is provided on the deflector 532.

[0004] However, when the existing motorcycle moves forward, the rotating front wheel 52 will generate friction with the road surface, causing the rotating front wheel 52 to splash water and sludge towards the deflector 532 of the vehicle shell 53. Since the height position of the air inlet 532a is between the pedal tube 513 of the frame 51 and the footrest 531 of the vehicle shell 53, the air inlet 532a is close to the ground. As a result, water and sludge easily flow into the space between the footrest 531 of the vehicle shell 53 and the deflector 532 of the vehicle shell 53 through the air inlet 532a of the deflector 532, causing the vehicle components between the footrest 531 and the deflector 532 to adhere to water and sludge. Therefore, when there is too much water and sludge adhering to the vehicle components between the footrest 531 and the deflector 532, the vehicle components between the footrest 531 and the deflector 532 are not only difficult to dissipate heat, but also the service life of the vehicle components will be shortened. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The main object of the present utility model is to provide a flat pedal motorcycle with an improved structural pattern, so that when the improved flat pedal motorcycle is moving forward, the improved flat pedal motorcycle can prevent sludge from entering the interior of the vehicle shell and adhering to the vehicle components inside the vehicle shell, thereby reducing the chance of corrosion of the vehicle components located inside the vehicle shell.

[0006] The secondary object of the present utility model is to provide a flat pedal motorcycle. When sludge enters between the footrest and the deflector, the splashing path of the sludge can be changed, so that the vehicle components located between the footrest and the deflector can avoid excessive adhesion of sludge, resulting in a reduced service life of the vehicle components.

[0007] Another object of the present utility model is to provide a flat pedal motorcycle with an improved deflector structure pattern, so that the improved deflector can clamp the vehicle electrical wires located between the footrest and the deflector. As a result, the vehicle electrical wires located between the footrest and the deflector will be arranged in a staggered manner at the air inlet of the deflector, so that the vehicle electrical wires will not cover the air inlet, and relatively can prevent external air from not flowing into the space between the footrest and the deflector through the air inlet.

[0008] To achieve the foregoing objects, the present utility model provides a flat pedal motorcycle, comprising: a frame, a footrest, a deflector, and a controller;

[0009] The frame has a head tube and a front vehicle tube extending downward from the head tube. The front vehicle tube extends backward at one end away from the head tube to form two pedal tubes, and each of the pedal tubes extends in a direction away from the front vehicle tube to form a rear vehicle tube;

[0010] The footrest is located behind the front vehicle tube and is provided with a pedal surface whose height position is higher than that of the pedal tube. The deflector is connected to the frame and has an air inlet located in front of the front vehicle tube, and the height position of the air inlet is higher than that of the pedal surface. Wherein, the controller is arranged between the footrest and the deflector and is located behind the air inlet.

[0011] In this embodiment, the controller is arranged between the two pedal tubes, so that the front vehicle tube and the rear vehicle tube are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the controller. Wherein, a part of the deflector is arranged in front of the front vehicle tube to be set as a first deflector part, and the remaining part of the deflector is located below the two pedal tubes to be set as a second deflector part, and the air inlet is formed in the first deflector part.

[0012] In addition, a mudguard body is provided between the footrest and the deflector. The mudguard body is disposed between the front vehicle tube and the controller. Among them, the footrest and the deflector are jointly connected to a knee shield having the mudguard body. The knee shield is located behind the front vehicle tube and is provided with two inclined stepping portions, and the two inclined stepping portions are adjacent to the footrest.

[0013] On the side of the deflector facing the front vehicle tube, a clamping seat protrudes. The clamping seat is provided with a clamping space arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the air inlet. The air inlet is provided with a left air inlet portion and a right air inlet portion. When viewed from the head tube towards the rear vehicle tube, the left air inlet portion and the right air inlet portion are respectively located on the left and right sides of the front vehicle tube.

[0014] In addition, the footrest has a front footrest portion provided with the pedal surface and two rear footrest portions extending from the front footrest portion. The front footrest portion is disposed between the front vehicle tube and the rear vehicle tube, and the two rear footrest portions are respectively disposed outside the rear vehicle tube, such that the two rear vehicle tubes are located between the two rear footrest portions. Among them, the pedal surface has a flat portion located above the pedal tube and an upwardly inclined surface portion close to the front vehicle tube. The upwardly inclined surface portion is provided with a pedal surface end at one end away from the flat portion, and the height position of the pedal surface end is higher than that of the flat portion. The height position of the pedal surface end is located between the flat portion and the air inlet.

[0015] The feature of the present utility model is that the height position of the air inlet of the deflector is higher than the pedal surface of the footrest, so that the air inlet can be far away from the ground. Thus, when the flat pedal motorcycle moves forward, because the height position of the air inlet is higher than the pedal surface, external air can not only flow into the space between the footrest and the deflector through the air inlet to assist the controller in heat dissipation, but also prevent sludge from entering the space between the footrest and the deflector through the air inlet. Furthermore, the vehicle components can reduce the chance of rust due to attached sludge.

[0016] In addition, the mudguard body is disposed between the footrest, the deflector, the front vehicle tube and the controller, so that the mudguard body is located in front of the controller. Thus, when sludge enters the space between the footrest and the deflector, the sludge can be changed in the splashing path through the mudguard body, so that the vehicle components located between the footrest and the deflector can avoid attaching too much sludge, and relatively can improve the service life of the vehicle components.

[0017] Furthermore, the deflector is formed with a clamping seat, and the clamping seat is provided with a clamping space arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the air inlet. Then, the clamping seat can clamp the vehicle electric wire located between the footrest and the deflector inside the clamping space. Thus, the vehicle electric wire located between the footrest and the deflector will be arranged in a staggered manner with respect to the air inlet of the deflector. Furthermore, the vehicle electric wire will not cover the air inlet, and relatively can prevent external air from not flowing into the space between the footrest and the deflector through the air inlet.

[0018] The advantages of the present utility model are that when the flat - pedal motorcycle is moving forward, since the height position of the air inlet is higher than the pedal surface, external air can not only flow into the space between the footrest and the deflector through the air inlet to assist the controller in heat dissipation, but also reduce the chance of sludge entering the space between the footrest and the deflector through the air inlet. Relatively, it can avoid the corrosion of vehicle components due to the attachment of sludge. Brief Description of the Drawings

Further, in the specification of the present utility model, directional terms such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", and "down" refer to the directions faced by the driver when sitting on the flat - pedal motorcycle 1.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the first preferred embodiment, the flat pedal motorcycle 1 of the present utility model can move forward using electricity, fuel, or a hybrid of electricity and fuel. And the flat pedal motorcycle 1 mainly consists of a frame 10, a wheel set 20, a vehicle shell 30, and a controller 40. In this embodiment, a head tube 11 is provided at the front position of the frame 10 to pivotally connect a steering handle 12 that can control the moving direction of the flat pedal motorcycle 1. The steering handle 12 is connected to a front fork device 13 located below the head tube 11. Among them, the frame 10 extends backward and downward from the head tube 11 to form a front vehicle tube 14 located behind the front fork device 13. The front vehicle tube 14 extends toward the rear side of the frame 10 at the end far from the head tube 11 to form two pedal tubes 15, and the two pedal tubes 15 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the frame 10. And the two pedal tubes 15 are commonly connected to a controller base 16. As shown, each pedal tube 15 extends backward and upward at the end far from the front vehicle tube 14 to form a rear vehicle tube 17, so that the two rear vehicle tubes 17 are arranged at intervals left and right of each other. Among them, the height position of the highest point of the rear vehicle tube 17 is higher than that of the pedal tube 15.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the wheel set 20 has a front wheel 21 and a rear wheel 22. The front wheel 21 is pivotally connected to the front fork device 13 of the frame 10, so that the front wheel 21 can rotate below the head tube 11 of the frame 10, and the rear wheel 22 can rotate below the two rear vehicle tubes 17 of the frame 10. Among them, the two pedal tubes 15 of the frame 10 are located between the front wheel 21 and the rear wheel 22.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle shell 30 has three parts: a footrest 31, a fairing 32, and a knee shield 33. The footrest 31 is located behind the front vehicle tube 14 of the frame 10. And the footrest 31 has a front footrest part 311 and two rear footrest parts 312 extending from the front footrest part 311. The front footrest part 311 is arranged between the front vehicle tube 14 of the frame 10 and the rear vehicle tube 17 of the frame 10. And a pedal surface 313 capable of carrying the rider's feet is provided on the front footrest part 311. And the two rear footrest parts 312 are respectively arranged outside one of the rear vehicle tubes 17 of the frame 10, so that the two rear vehicle tubes 17 are located between the two rear footrest parts 312. Among them, the height position of the pedal surface 313 is higher than that of the two pedal tubes 15 of the frame 10.

[0035] In addition, a part of the deflector 32 is disposed in front of the front tube 14 to form a first deflector portion 321, and the remaining part of the deflector 32 is connected below the two pedal tubes 15 to form a second deflector portion 322. Among them, an air inlet 323 located in front of the front tube 14 is formed through the first deflector portion 321 of the deflector 32. And a clamping seat 324 protrudes from the first deflector portion 321 of the deflector 32. Among them, the height position of the air inlet 323 is higher than the pedal surface 313 of the footrest 31. And the clamping seat 324 is provided with a first clamping arm 324a and a second clamping arm 324b. The first clamping arm 324a is arranged at intervals with the second clamping arm 324b, so that a clamping space 324c staggered with the air inlet 323 is provided between the first and second clamping arms 324a and 324b. In this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the air inlet 323 is provided with a left air inlet portion 323a and a right air inlet portion 323b. And when viewed from the head tube 11 of the frame 10 towards the rear tube 17 of the frame 10, the left air inlet portion 323a is located on the left side of the front tube 14 of the frame 10, and the right air inlet portion 323b is located on the right side of the front tube 14. In addition, the clamping seat 324 is disposed between the left and right air inlet portions 323a and 323b. And the clamping seat 324 can clamp the vehicle electric wire between the footrest 31 and the deflector 32 inside the clamping space 324c through the first and second clamping arms 324a and 324b. Thus, the vehicle electric wire between the footrest 31 and the deflector 32 will be staggered with the air inlet 323 of the deflector 32. Furthermore, the vehicle electric wire will not cover the air inlet 323, relatively preventing external air from flowing into the space between the footrest 31 and the deflector 32 because it cannot pass through the air inlet 323.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown. The knee shield 33 of the vehicle shell 30 is connected to the footrest 31 of the vehicle shell 30 and the first deflector portion 321 of the deflector 32, so that the knee shield 33 is located behind the front tube 14. Furthermore, the first deflector portion 321 and the knee shield 33 can jointly cover a partial length of the front tube 14. And inclined stepping portions 331 inclinedly arranged with respect to the footrest 31 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the knee shield 33. Then the inclined stepping portions 331 are adjacent to the footrest 31. As shown in the figure, a mudguard body 332 is provided at the lowest part of the knee shield 33. And the mudguard body 332 is located among the footrest 31, the deflector 32, the front tube 14 of the frame 10 and the controller base 16 of the frame 10.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the controller 40 is connected to the controller base 16 of the vehicle frame 10, such that the controller 40 is disposed between the two pedal tubes 15 of the vehicle frame 10. Furthermore, the mudguard body 332 of the knee shield 33, the rear tube 17 of the vehicle frame 10, the footrest 31 of the vehicle shell 30, and the second flow guiding portion 322 of the flow guiding plate 32 are respectively located at the front, rear, upper, and lower sides of the controller 40, enabling the mudguard body 332, the rear tube 17, the footrest 31, and the flow guiding plate 32 to jointly cover the controller 40, resulting in the controller 40 being located behind the air inlet 323 of the flow guiding plate 32.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 8 As shown, in the specific application of the flat pedal motorcycle 1 during travel, the front wheel 21 of the wheel set 20 rotates, and the rotating front wheel 21 generates friction with the ground, causing the rotating front wheel 21 to splash towards the flow guiding plate 32 of the vehicle shell 30. Since the height position of the air inlet 323 is higher than the pedal surface 313 of the footrest 31, external air can not only flow into the space between the footrest 31 and the flow guiding plate 32 through the air inlet 323 to assist the controller 40 in heat dissipation, but also prevent sludge from entering the space between the footrest 31 and the flow guiding plate 32 through the air inlet 323. Furthermore, the vehicle components can reduce the chance of rust caused by attached sludge. Additionally, even if sludge enters the space between the footrest 31 and the flow guiding plate 32, the mudguard body 332 of the knee shield 33 changes the splashing path of the sludge, enabling the vehicle components located between the footrest 31 and the flow guiding plate 32 to avoid attaching too much sludge, relatively improving the service life of the vehicle components.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 9 As shown, in the second preferred embodiment, the difference from the first preferred embodiment lies in the pedal surface 313 of the footrest 31. As for the structural configurations of the vehicle frame 10, the wheel set 20, and the controller 40, they are the same as those in the first preferred embodiment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the structural configurations of the vehicle frame 10, the wheel set 20, and the controller 40 will not be described repeatedly. As shown in the figure, the pedal surface 313 has a flat portion 313a and a raised portion 313b. The flat portion 313a is located above the pedal tube 15 of the vehicle frame 10, and the raised portion 313b is close to the front tube 14 of the vehicle frame 10. Among them, at one end of the raised portion 313b away from the flat portion 313a, there is a pedal surface end 313c with a height position higher than that of the flat portion 313a, and the height position of the pedal surface end 313c is between the flat portion 313a and the air inlet 323 of the flow guiding plate 32.

[0040] The above description is illustrative rather than restrictive to the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that many modifications, variations, or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the claims, and all of them will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
