[0006] Technical problems to be solved by the utility model

[0007] As described in Patent Document 1, in saddle-riding vehicles, the ABS modulator is often located at the front end of the vehicle frame. This is because, in saddle-riding vehicles, which are prone to layout constraints, locating the ABS modulator at the front end of the frame allows the front end of the frame to be effectively utilized as equipment storage space. However, the front end of the frame is often directly behind the front wheels, making it a location prone to splashing rainwater, mud, etc. Therefore, when the ABS modulator is located at the front end of the vehicle frame, the fluid piping connection, which is a non-electrical and non-electronic component, is likely to be located at the front, while the electrical wiring connection is located further back than the fluid piping connection. This creates a technical problem of limiting the flexibility of the ABS modulator's configuration.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and an object thereof is to provide a saddle-riding type vehicle in which, when an ABS modulator is provided at the front end portion of a vehicle frame, the arrangement of the ABS modulator can be made more flexible.

This temporarily secures the inner brace 130 to the outer brace 140.

[0110] When the inner bracket 130 is temporarily fixed to the outer bracket 140 , the ABS modulator 110 is disposed on the inner bracket 130 .

[0111] Then, the bolt 162 is inserted from the rear into the bushing 172 of the rear portion 144 of the outer bracket 140, and the bolt 162 passes through the through hole 133a of the rear portion 133 of the inner bracket 130 and is fastened to the rear fastening portion 112b of the ABS modulator 110 (see FIG. Figure 8 ).

[0112] Furthermore, the bolt 163 is inserted from below into the bushing 173 of the bottom portion 141 of the outer bracket 140, and the bolt 163 passes through the through hole 132a of the bottom portion 132 of the inner bracket 130 and is fastened to the bottom fastening portion 112a of the ABS modulator 110 (see FIG. Figure 8 ).

[0113] Thus, the ABS modulator 110 is fixed to the outer bracket 140 via the inner bracket 130. At this time, the bushings 171 to 173 are sandwiched between the inner bracket 130 and the outer bracket 140. Therefore, vibration from the outer bracket 140 is less likely to be transmitted to the inner bracket 130, and vibration is also less likely to be transmitted to the ABS modulator 110 supported by the inner bracket 130.

[0114] With the ABS modulator 110 fixed to the modulator bracket 120, the modulator bracket 120 is fixed to the vehicle frame 11. That is, the distal end 148 of the inner side surface 142 of the modulator bracket 120 abuts against the right side of the gusset plate 35. In addition, the lower frame connecting portion 145 is connected from the rear to the bracket 36 (see FIG. 1 ) protruding rightward from the right side of the lower frame 33. Figure 4 ) abutment.

[0115] Then, a bolt 160 is inserted from the vehicle widthwise outer side (right side) through the fixing hole 148a of the terminal portion 148, and the bolt 160 is fastened to the fastening portion of the gusset plate 35. Furthermore, a pair of left and right bolts 166 are inserted from the front lower portion of the stay 36, and each bolt 166 is fastened to the fastening portion 145c of the lower frame connecting portion 145.

[0116] In this way, the ABS modulator 110 is mounted on the vehicle frame 11 .

[0117] Furthermore, at this time, the terminal portion 148 overlaps with the fuel tank 29 when the vehicle body is viewed from the side (see Figure 5 ).

[0118] Figure 11 1 is a vehicle body plan view of the ABS modulator support structure 100 , showing a state in which the input brake pipe 81 , the output brake pipe 86 , and the electrical harness 95 are connected to the ABS modulator 110 . Figure 12 FIG. 1 is a front view of the vehicle body of the ABS modulator support structure 100 , showing a state in which the input brake pipe 81 , the output brake pipe 86 , and the electrical harness 95 are connected to the ABS modulator 110 . Figure 13 1 is a bottom view of the vehicle body of the ABS modulator support structure 100 , showing a state in which the input brake pipe 81 , the output brake pipe 86 , and the electrical harness 95 are connected to the ABS modulator 110 .

[0119] The input brake pipe 81 is connected to an input pipe connection portion 113 of the ABS modulator 110 via a metal joint portion 84 .

[0120] Furthermore, the output brake pipe 86 is connected to the output pipe connection portion 114 of the ABS modulator 110 via a metal joint portion 85 .

[0121] The brake piping system 80 of this embodiment is constituted by the input brake pipe 81, the joint portion 84, the joint portion 85, and the output brake pipe 86 (see Figure 11 ).

[0122] The sensor cable 90 is secured to the output brake pipe 86 via a clamp 91. The sensor cable 90 is laid parallel to the output brake pipe 86 between the front wheel 13 and the ABS modulator 110. After passing through the clamp 91 closest to the ABS modulator 110, the sensor cable 90 is laid upward and inward in the vehicle width direction and is clamped by a clamping member 92 secured to the inclined portion 147 of the outer bracket 140. The clamping member 92 is secured by engaging the locking claw 92a (see FIG. Figure 12 ) is inserted into the claw hole 147a of the inclined portion 147 (refer to Figure 7 The sensor cable 90 extends toward the vehicle width direction inner side and is electrically connected to an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) (not shown).

[0123] The electrical harness (electrical wiring) 95 extends from the ECU and is electrically connected to the ABS modulator 110. That is, the connector 96 of the electrical harness 95 is connected to the connector portion 115 of the ABS modulator 110. The connector 96 is formed to have an outer peripheral shape larger than the connector portion 115, and the connector 96 is installed to cover the connector portion 115. Thus, the ABS modulator 110 is electrically connected to the electrical harness 95. The electrical harness 95 is bent upward in a U-shape from the connector 96 toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 12 ) and arranged outward in the vehicle width direction. The electric wire harness 95 arranged outward in the vehicle width direction is wound and held on the outer peripheral side of the connector 96 by a belt 97.

[0124] The electrical harness 95 passes over the connector 96 toward the outside in the vehicle width direction and is then routed rearward along the inside in the vehicle width direction of the outer side surface portion 143 of the outer stay 140 (see FIG. Figure 11 ). At this time, the electric wire harness 95 is clamped by the clamping member (wiring support portion) 98 that is locked to the outer side surface portion 143. The insertion claw (insertion end) 98a of the clamping member 98 (see Figure 11 ) is inserted from the inner side in the vehicle width direction and supported by the claw hole 143a of the outer side surface portion 143 (refer to Figure 7 ).

[0125] The electrical harness 95 passes over the outer side surface 143 of the outer support frame 140 to the rear, and is then routed inward in the vehicle width direction, extending inward in the vehicle width direction, and connected to the ECU (not shown). At this time, the electrical harness 95 is clamped by the clamping member 99 that is fixed to the rear surface 144 of the outer support frame 140. The insertion claw 99a of the clamping member 99 (see Figure 13 ) is inserted from above and supported by the claw hole 144c of the curved portion 144b of the rear surface portion 144 (refer to Figure 7 ).

[0126] In this state, the regulator cover 150 is installed. In the regulator cover 150, the bolt 164 is inserted from the outside in the vehicle width direction into the fixing hole 153a of the outer side surface portion 153, and the bolt 164 is fastened to the cover support hole 143b of the outer side surface portion 143 of the outer support frame 140. In addition, the bolt 165 is inserted from the bottom into the fixing portion 155a of the lower surface portion 155, and the bolt 165 is fastened to the cover support hole 141b of the bottom surface portion 141 of the outer support frame 140. Thus, the regulator cover 150 is installed on the regulator support frame 120. At this time, the regulator cover 150 is formed with a claw 98a (refer to FIG. 1 ) that is inserted away from the regulator cover 150. Figure 11 ) direction, the convex portion 156 can be installed without interfering with the insertion claw 98a of the clamp member 98.

[0127] Here, regarding the regulator cover 150, when covering the ABS regulator 110, the vehicle body is viewed from above (see FIG. Figure 11 ), observe the vehicle body from the front (refer to Figure 12 ), observe the vehicle body from the side (refer to Figure 5 ), and looking up at the vehicle body (refer to Figure 13 ), the regulator cover 150 covers at least a portion of the connector part 115. Therefore, even if rainwater and mud brought up by the front wheel 13 splash toward the ABS regulator 110, the connector part 115 can be easily protected from the rainwater and mud by the regulator cover 150. In particular, since the connector 96 of the electrical harness 95 is installed in a manner covering the connector part 115, the gap between the connector 96 and the connector part 115 during connection is located on the outside in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, by using the regulator cover 150 that covers the ABS regulator 110 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, it is possible to effectively prevent water and mud from entering the connector part 115. In addition, since the upper surface portion 154 overlaps with a portion of the connector part 115 (refer to Figure 10 ), so it is easy to bend the electrical harness 95 into a U shape.

[0128] In addition, if Figure 13 As shown, the pressure adjustment hole 110a of the ABS modulator 110 is covered from below by the bottom surface 141 of the outer bracket 140 and by the lower surface 155 of the regulator cover 150. This dual structure of covering from below prevents water and mud splashed from the front wheel 13 from entering the pressure adjustment hole 110a. In particular, since the pressure adjustment hole 110a is separated from the outer bracket 140 by the inner bracket 130, air can flow in and out easily.

[0129] In the steering system 50, since the front fork 14 steers and extends and retracts, the brake pipe system 80, which spans between the steering system 50 and the vehicle frame 11, is arranged so that its contact width and movable width are restricted to a predetermined range during driving. In this embodiment, the modulator cover 150, together with the engine cover 72, protects the ABS modulator 110 from rain, mud, and the like. The ABS modulator 110 can be arranged with the connector 115 positioned forward and the input and output pipe connection portions 113 and 114 positioned rearward. This allows for margin for the restriction of the brake pipes 81 and 86 during steering, facilitating flexible placement of the ABS modulator 110.

[0130] Therefore, when the ABS modulator 110 is provided at the front end portion of the vehicle frame 11 , the ABS modulator 110 can be arranged with greater freedom.

[0131] In particular, in this embodiment, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 is used for off-road use, in which the front fender 26 is significantly spaced from the front wheel 13. This increases the likelihood of the front fork 14 extending and contracting significantly, and water and mud from the front wheel 13 are easily splashed onto the front end of the vehicle frame 11. Furthermore, the fuel tank 29 is positioned below the main frame 31, which tends to position the ABS modulator 110 downward, thus easily restricting the brake pipes 81 and 86. In contrast, in this embodiment, the modulator cover 150 allows the ABS modulator 110 to be conveniently positioned at the front end of the vehicle frame 11.

[0132] As described above, according to the present embodiment to which the present invention is applied, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 includes: a vehicle frame 11 having a front stem 18 and a main frame 31 extending rearward from the front stem 18; and an ABS modulator 110 mounted on the front end portion of the vehicle frame 11. The saddle-ride type vehicle 10 includes: a modulator bracket 120 supporting the ABS modulator 110; and a modulator cover 150 supported by the modulator bracket 120 and covering the ABS modulator 110. The modulator bracket 120 is fastened to the front end portion of the vehicle frame 11 behind the front stem 18. The modulator bracket 120 supports the ABS modulator 110 so that the connector portion 115 is located forward and the input pipe connection portion 113 and the output pipe connection portion 114 are located rearward. The modulator cover 150 overlaps a portion of the connector portion 115 of the ABS modulator 110 when the vehicle body is viewed from the front, side, top, and bottom.

[0133] With this structure, even when the ABS modulator 110 is positioned at the front end of the vehicle frame 11 with the connector portion 115 positioned forward, the modulator cover 150 protects the connector portion 115 from mud, water, and the like stirred up by the front wheel 13 during driving. Furthermore, improved aerodynamics and driving stability can be expected. Therefore, the ABS modulator 110 can be positioned with the input and output pipe connection portions 113 and 114 positioned rearward, allowing for margin for the restriction of the brake pipes 81 and 86 during steering, thereby facilitating the placement of the ABS modulator 110 with greater flexibility.

[0134] Therefore, it is possible to provide the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 in which, when the ABS modulator 110 is provided at the front end portion of the vehicle frame 11 , the arrangement of the ABS modulator 110 can be made more flexible in terms of layout.

[0135] In the present embodiment, the ABS modulator 110 is arranged such that the connector portion 115 faces inward in the vehicle width direction.

[0136] According to this configuration, the electric harness 95 extending from the connector portion 115 can be easily routed inward in the vehicle width direction, thereby preventing the regulator cover 150 covering the connector portion 115 from growing outward in the vehicle width direction.

[0137] In the present embodiment, the ABS modulator 110 is arranged such that the input pipe connection portion 113 and the output pipe connection portion 114 face upward in the vehicle body vertical direction.

[0138] According to this structure, the input pipe connection portion 113 and the output pipe connection portion 114 face upward at the rear, so the brake pipes 81 and 86 can be easily connected from above, and a margin can be created for the restriction of the brake pipes 81 and 86 during steering.

[0139] In addition, in this embodiment, the regulator cover 150 and the regulator bracket 120 are fastened together at the side and bottom surfaces.

[0140] According to this structure, since fastening is performed on a plurality of surfaces facing different directions, the fastening rigidity between the regulator cover 150 and the regulator bracket 120 can be improved with a minimum number of fastening locations.

[0141] In addition, in this embodiment, the regulator support 120 is composed of an outer support 140 and an inner support 130 supported on the inner side of the outer support 140. On the lower and rear sides, the outer support 140, the inner support 130 and the ABS regulator 110 are fastened in a state where the bushings 172 and 173 are arranged. On the side, the outer support 140 and the inner support 130 are fastened in a state where the bushing 171 is arranged.

[0142] According to this structure, the inner bracket 130 is arranged between the outer bracket 140 and the ABS modulator 110 , and the bushings 171 , 172 , and 173 are arranged at the respective fastening locations. This makes it possible to prevent the vibration of the vehicle body from being transmitted to the ABS modulator 110 during driving.

[0143] In addition, in this embodiment, there are: an electrical wiring harness 95, which is connected to the connector portion 115; and a clamping member 98, which is inserted into the outer support 140 of the regulator support 120 and supports the electrical wiring harness 95, and a protrusion 156 is provided on the side of the regulator cover 150, which protrudes in a recessed manner in a direction away from the insertion claw 98a of the clamping member 98.

[0144] According to this structure, interference with the regulator cover 150 can be avoided, and the clamping member 98 can be fully inserted into the outer bracket 140, so that the electric wire harness 95 extending from the ABS regulator 110 can be firmly supported and the electric wire harness 95 can be accommodated in the regulator cover 150 with good space efficiency.

[0145] [Other embodiments]

[0146] The above-mentioned embodiment merely shows one aspect of the present invention, and can be arbitrarily modified and applied without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0147] In the above embodiment, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 is illustrated as having an internal combustion engine, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 may also be a vehicle without an engine, that is, an electric vehicle. Therefore, in the above embodiment, an engine is illustrated as the power unit 12 that drives the vehicle body, but the power unit 12 may also be a power unit equipped with an electric motor for driving. Therefore, the fuel tank 29 may not be required.

[0148] 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. The present invention can be applied to a three-wheeled saddle-riding vehicle having two front wheels or rear wheels or a saddle-riding vehicle having four or more wheels.
