[0076] First, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, this utility model has a motorcycle structure with an auxiliary water tank. This utility model is illustrated by taking a scooter-type motorcycle with a water-cooled internal combustion engine as an example.
[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the motorcycle 2 has a frame unit 3. A head tube 31 is pivotally mounted at the front of the frame unit 3. A steering mechanism 32 is connected above the head tube 31. A downtube 33 is connected to the head tube 31 toward the rear of the vehicle body. A pair of foot tubes 34, extending toward the rear of the vehicle body and slightly horizontal, are connected below the downtube 33. A pair of side frame sections 35 extend toward the rear of the foot tubes 34. The side frame sections 35 have an ascending section 351 adjacent to the foot tubes 34 and an extension section 352 located at the rear of the vehicle body. A rear wheel RW is located below the extension section 352. A power unit 4 is located between the ascending section 351 and the foot tubes 34 of the side frame section 35. A front fork unit D, which is composed of a front shock absorber, is pivotally mounted below the head tube 31. A front wheel FW is pivotally mounted at the lower end of the front fork unit D.
[0078] like Figure 2As shown, the frame unit 3 has a slightly flat footrest P on its slightly horizontal foot tube section 34, which forms a flat footrest for the driver. The internal space defined between the two slightly horizontal foot tube sections 34 is equipped with a fuel tank T for storing fuel for the combustion of the power unit 4. The power unit 4 is connected to the frame unit 3 and is located further rearward of the fuel tank T.
[0079] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the side frame 35 has a seat S for the driver to sit on above the extension 352, and a storage box 5 is provided on the extension 352 and below the seat S. The power unit 4 is connected to the side frame 35 by an engine mount (not shown in the figure), and the power unit 4 is connected to the frame unit 3 in a swingable or non-swinging manner.
[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, the motorcycle 2 has a body cover unit 6 covering the outer periphery of the frame unit 3. The body cover unit 6 has a front cover 61 covering the steering mechanism 32, a front body cover 62 covering the front of the head tube 31, a knee cover 63 covering the rear of the head tube 31, a foot cover 64 covering the foot tube 34, the upper part of the foot cover 64 forming a footrest P for the driver to rest his feet, a central body cover 65 located below the seat S, and side body covers 66 covering the two sides of the motorcycle 2 body and located below the two sides of the seat S. The central body cover 65 can be integrally formed or composed of multiple pieces.
[0081] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the motorcycle 2 is equipped with a liquid cooling device (not shown) that can cool the engine 41 of the power unit 4. The liquid cooling device is connected to an auxiliary water tank 7 that can provide replenishment of coolant. The auxiliary water tank 7 is fixed to the rear end of the side frame portion 35 of the frame unit 3 by a fixing bracket F. The storage box 5 is defined by its four walls and bottom wall as a storage portion 5a that can store items with an opening facing upwards on the vehicle body. The storage portion 5a extends towards the rear of the vehicle body and is provided with a platform portion 5b. The storage box 5 has a protrusion 51 on one side of the platform portion 5b, so that the protrusion 51 can form a receiving portion 5c below, which can accommodate the auxiliary water tank 7. The protrusion 51 has an inspection hole 511 on the front side of the vehicle body, which can directly observe the water level in the auxiliary water tank 7. Furthermore, this utility model The novel invention features a water level indicator 512 marked on the side of the inspection port 511. Specifically, this invention includes a high water level indicator 512a and a low water level indicator 512b, thereby improving the convenience for users to add coolant to the auxiliary water tank 7. When the driver observes the water level in the auxiliary water tank 7 through the inspection port 511, the water level indicator 512 can easily determine whether coolant needs to be added. Furthermore, this invention provides a transparent panel 5111 in the inspection port 511, thereby facilitating the driver's observation of the water level in the auxiliary water tank 7 through the inspection port 511. The transparent panel 5111 can be made of transparent plastic or glass. A filler neck 513 is provided on the upper surface of the protrusion 51, and a maintenance cover 514 is provided on the filler neck 513.
[0082] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the auxiliary water tank 7 has a water inlet 71 at its upper end, and a water inlet cover 72 on the water inlet 71. The water inlet 71 is corresponding to the water filling port 513 of the protrusion 51. An overflow pipe 73 is connected to one side of the water inlet 71 of the auxiliary water tank 71, allowing excess coolant in the auxiliary water tank 7 to overflow out of the auxiliary water tank 7. The bottom of the auxiliary water tank 7 is connected to a water supply pipe 7a, and the other end of the water supply pipe 7a is connected to a liquid cooling device (not shown in the figure). Therefore, when the coolant in the liquid cooling device is insufficient, the auxiliary water tank... 7 can automatically replenish the coolant to the liquid cooling device 7 via the water supply pipe 7a, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the liquid cooling device on the engine 41 of the power unit 4. The way to add coolant to the auxiliary water tank 7 is to first open the maintenance cover 514 of the protrusion 51, and then open the filler cap 72 of the auxiliary water tank 7. Since the filler cap 71 of the auxiliary water tank 7 is correspondingly set with the filler port 513 of the protrusion 51, the driver or engineer can directly pour coolant into the filler port 513 of the protrusion 51, and the coolant will flow into the auxiliary water tank 7 through the filler port 71.
[0083] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the storage box 5 has a charging base 52 on the side of the protrusion 51. The charging base 52 of this invention is implemented using a USB socket, and a charging base cover 521 is provided on the top of the charging base 52. The storage box 5 has an inserting mechanism 53 on both inner walls. The inserting mechanism 53 is formed by a pair of slots set on both sides of the storage box 5 along the left and right sides of the vehicle body towards the center of the vehicle body. This invention places the inserting mechanism 53 adjacent to the protrusion 51. The inserting mechanism 53 can accommodate a partition 54. When the partition 54 is inserted into the inserting mechanism 53, the partition 54 can hold the contents of the storage box 5. A second storage section 5d with a smaller space is formed on the other side of the protrusion 51 via the partition 54 of the platform section 5b. This prevents items stored in the second storage section 5d from slipping into the storage section 5a due to the violent shaking of the motorcycle 2. The storage box 5 has an inspection window 55 on the platform section 5a between the protrusion 51 and the insert mechanism 53. The inspection window 55 allows engineers to inspect the frame number of the motorcycle 2. The inspection window 55 is further covered with a decorative cover 551, which can maintain the integrity of the items stored at the bottom of the platform section 5a.
[0084] like Figure 7As shown in a further embodiment of the present invention, a blocking part 56 is provided on the outer side of the storage box 5 near the protrusion 51, extending upward from the platform part 5a of the storage box 5. The blocking part 56 is connected to the storage box 5, forming an L-shaped baffle wall, thereby surrounding the protrusion 51 and preventing overflow when adding coolant to the auxiliary water tank 7, thus preventing contamination of other items stored in the storage box 5. Furthermore, a drain hole 57 is provided on the platform part 5b between the blocking part 56 and the protrusion 51, allowing coolant to flow out of the storage box 5 when it overflows when adding coolant to the auxiliary water tank 7, thereby further preventing the overflowing coolant from contaminating the items stored in the storage box 5.
[0085] The main feature of this invention is that the motorcycle 2 has a frame unit 3, which is equipped with a storage box and an auxiliary water tank. The storage box 5 includes a storage section 5a and a platform section 5b extending rearward from the storage section 5a. One side of the platform section 5b has a protrusion 51 extending upward, and the auxiliary water tank 7 is located below the protrusion 51. The protrusion 51 has an inspection hole 511 and a maintenance cover 514, with the inspection hole 511 being lower than the maintenance cover 514. This allows for full utilization of the space around the storage box 5 and facilitates the driver's observation and identification of the water level in the auxiliary water tank 7.
[0086] In summary, the present invention, through the above-described structure, can improve upon known deficiencies and achieve the claimed purpose, and has indeed improved upon existing technologies, thus possessing novelty, practicality, and inventiveness.
