Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a motorcycle. Background Technology

[0002] The front of a motorcycle houses components such as a windshield, headlight, and plastic parts, which are typically connected to the motorcycle via a front bracket located on the head tube. This method of connection, relying solely on the frame structure, is insufficient to provide long-term strength and durability, especially when there are many or heavy front-end components. After a period of riding or exposure to strong vibrations, connection failure may occur, compromising the stability of the motorcycle's front-end components and potentially leading to deformation of the front body panels. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a motorcycle whose front cover has good structural stability.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a motorcycle. The motorcycle includes a frame, a body panel, and a lighting system. The frame includes a head tube. The body panel includes a front cover at least partially located in front of the head tube. The lighting system includes a headlight assembly. The headlight assembly is at least partially connected to the front cover. The frame also includes a front bracket. The front bracket is at least partially located in front of the head tube and fixedly connected to the head tube. The front bracket has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion on the side away from the head tube. The first connecting portion is located above the second connecting portion. The front cover is located on the side of the front bracket away from the head tube and is connected to the first connecting portion. The headlight assembly includes a headlight and a headlight mounting frame. The headlight is disposed on the headlight mounting frame. The headlight mounting frame and the front cover are connected. The headlight mounting frame and the second connecting portion are connected.

[0005] In some embodiments of this application, there are two headlights. The headlight mounting frame includes a left mounting frame, a right mounting frame, and a connecting frame. The two headlights are respectively mounted on the left mounting frame and the right mounting frame. The left mounting frame and the right mounting frame are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the connecting frame along the width direction of the motorcycle.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting frame includes an upper connecting border and a lower connecting border. The upper connecting border is located above the lower connecting border. The left and right ends of the upper connecting border are connected to the left assembly frame and the right assembly frame, respectively. The left and right ends of the lower connecting border are connected to the left assembly frame and the right assembly frame, respectively.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, multiple second connecting portions are provided, with the left assembly frame connected to at least one second connecting portion, and the right assembly frame connected to at least one second connecting portion.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the headlight mounting frame has an upper frame and a lower frame. Both the upper and lower frames extend along the width direction of the motorcycle. The upper frame is located above the lower frame. A second connecting portion is connected to the upper frame.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the average area of ​​the cross-section of the upper frame in the direction perpendicular to the width of the motorcycle is smaller than the average area of ​​the cross-section of the lower frame in the direction perpendicular to the width of the motorcycle.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the second connecting portion has a lamp holder stop surface. When the headlight assembly frame is connected to the second connecting portion, the lamp holder stop surface abuts against the headlight assembly frame.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the front cover and the first connecting portion are connected by bolts.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the headlight mounting frame and the second connecting part are connected by snap-fit.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the headlight assembly further includes a buffer pad. The buffer pad is disposed between the headlight mounting frame and the second connecting portion.

[0014] In this application, the first connecting portion at the upper part of the motorcycle front bracket connects to the front cover, while the second connecting portion at the lower part of the front bracket connects to the headlight mounting frame, and the headlight mounting frame connects to the front cover. Therefore, part of the front cover's structure is directly connected to the front bracket, and part is indirectly connected, improving the stability of the front cover's fixation. Furthermore, the upper part of the front cover can be directly connected to the front bracket, thus providing good connection stability; while the lower part of the front cover can be indirectly connected to the front bracket through the headlight assembly, thus providing auxiliary support for the front cover and improving its structural stability to prevent deformation.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a motorcycle 100. The motorcycle 100 includes a frame 10, a body panel 20, and a lighting system 30. The body panel 20 is at least partially supported by the frame 10. The lighting system 30 is at least partially connected to the body panel 20.

[0025] For ease of description, the following are also defined: Figure 1 The directions shown as front, back, left, right, up, and down refer to the front, back, left, right, up, and down directions of the motorcycle 100. In the description of this application, the length direction of the motorcycle 100 is... Figure 1 The forward and backward directions shown indicate that the height direction of the motorcycle 100 is... Figure 1 The vertical direction shown corresponds to the width direction of the motorcycle 100. Figure 1 The left and right directions are shown.

[0026] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a head tube 11. The body panel 20 includes a front cover 21 located at least partially in front of the head tube 11. The lighting system 30 includes a headlight assembly 31. The headlight assembly 31 is at least partially connected to the front cover 21.

[0027] As an exemplary example, the front cover 21 includes a headlight panel, a windshield, a windshield trim cover, an instrument cluster, an instrument cluster bracket, front position lights, front position light trim rings, and headlight trim rings. The windshield is fixed to the headlight panel, and the windshield trim cover is attached to the windshield. The instrument cluster is attached to the headlight panel via an instrument cluster bracket. The front position lights are fixed to the headlight panel, and front position light trim rings surround the front position lights. The headlight assembly 31 is assembled to the headlight panel, and front headlight trim rings surround the headlight assembly 31.

[0028] In some embodiments, the frame 10 further includes a front support 12. The front support 12 is at least partially located in front of the head tube 11 and is fixedly connected to the head tube 11. The front support 12 has a first connecting portion 121 and a second connecting portion 122 on the side of the front support 12 away from the head tube 11. The first connecting portion 121 is located above the second connecting portion 122. A front cover 21 is located on the side of the front support 12 away from the head tube 11 and is connected to the first connecting portion 121. The front cover 21 at least covers a portion of the front support 12 and the head tube 11. The headlight assembly 31 includes a headlight 311 and a headlight mounting frame 312. The headlight 311 is disposed on the headlight mounting frame 312. The headlight mounting frame 312 is connected to the front cover 21. The headlight mounting frame 312 is also connected to the second connecting portion 122.

[0029] The first connecting portion 121 at the upper part of the front bracket 12 of the motorcycle 100 connects to the front cover 21, while the second connecting portion 122 at the lower part of the front bracket 12 connects to the headlight mounting frame 312, and the headlight mounting frame 312 connects to the front cover 21. Therefore, part of the structure of the front cover 21 is directly connected to the front bracket 12, and part of the structure is indirectly connected to the front bracket 12, improving the stability of the front cover 21. Furthermore, the upper part of the front cover 21 can be directly connected to the front bracket 12, thus having good connection stability; while the lower part of the front cover 21 can be indirectly connected to the front bracket 12 through the headlight assembly 31, thus providing auxiliary support for the front cover 21, which helps to improve the structural stability of the front cover 21 and prevent deformation of the front cover 21.

[0030] In some embodiments, the front bracket 12 includes an adapter frame 123 and mounting tubes 124. The adapter frame 123 is connected to the head tube 11. Two mounting tubes 124 are provided, and the two mounting tubes 124 are spaced apart on the adapter frame 123 along the width direction of the motorcycle 100. Each mounting tube 124 extends substantially along the height direction of the motorcycle 100, and each mounting tube 124 is provided with a first connecting portion 121 and a second connecting portion 122. By using the two mounting tubes 124 to fix the front cover 21 and the headlight assembly 31 in the width direction of the motorcycle 100, it is easier to maintain the left and right balance of the front cover 21 and the headlight assembly 31, thereby improving the structural stability of the front cover 21. The adapter frame 123 facilitates fixing the mounting tubes 124 to the head tube 11.

[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the front cover 21 and the first connecting portion 121 are connected by bolts. The first connecting portion 121 is located above the second connecting portion 122, and the front bracket 12 is connected to the upper part of the front cover 21 through the first connecting portion 121. Therefore, the first connecting portion 121 bears more load on the front cover 21 than the second connecting portion 122. The first connecting portion 121 is fastened to the front cover 21 by bolts to enhance the connection stability between the first connecting portion 121 and the front cover 21, so that the first connecting portion 121 can bear the load on the front cover 21 and improve the structural stability of the front cover 21.

[0032] In some embodiments, the headlight mounting frame 312 and the second connecting portion 122 are connected by snap-fit. The second connecting portion 122 is located below the first connecting portion 121, and the front bracket 12 is connected to the lower part of the front cover 21 through the second connecting portion 122. Therefore, the second connecting portion 122 provides auxiliary load-bearing and auxiliary fixation for the front cover 21 compared to the first connecting portion 121. The second connecting portion 122 is connected to the headlight mounting frame 312 by snap-fit, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the second connecting portion 122 and the headlight mounting frame 312, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, the front bracket 12 further includes a buffer pad 125. The buffer pad 125 is disposed between the headlight mounting frame 312 and the second connecting portion 122. By providing the buffer pad 125, the stability of the engagement between the second connecting portion 122 and the headlight mounting frame 312 is improved, which facilitates assembly while reducing the risk of vibration due to loose connection structure.

[0034] See Figure 4In some embodiments, the second connecting portion 122 has a lamp holder stop surface 1221. When the headlight mounting frame 312 is connected to the second connecting portion 122, the lamp holder stop surface 1221 abuts against the headlight mounting frame 312. By providing the lamp holder stop surface 1221, it is beneficial to constrain the position of the headlight mounting frame 312 relative to the front bracket 12. A buffer pad 125 may be provided between the lamp holder stop surface 1221 and the headlight mounting frame 312.

[0035] Understandably, in some embodiments, the lamp holder stop surface 1221 is positioned forward, and the lamp holder stop surface 1221 can abut against the rear side of the headlight mounting frame 312. The lamp holder stop surface 1221 can clamp the headlight mounting frame 312 in the front-rear direction with the front cover surface. The acceleration in the front-rear direction when the motorcycle 100 starts and brakes is greater than the acceleration in the left-right direction when turning. By setting the lamp holder stop surface 1221, the relative position of the headlight mounting frame 312 can be effectively constrained, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the front cover 21, the headlight mounting frame 312, and the front bracket 12.

[0036] In some embodiments, the headlight mounting frame 312 has an upper frame 3121 and a lower frame 3122. Both the upper frame 3121 and the lower frame 3122 extend along the width direction of the motorcycle 100. The upper frame 3121 is located above the lower frame 3122. A second connecting portion 122 is connected to the upper frame 3121. The second connecting portion 122 is connected to the upper structure of the headlight mounting frame 312, which makes it easier to support the weight of the headlight assembly 31 and reduce the swaying of the headlight assembly 31.

[0037] In some embodiments, the average area of ​​the cross-section of the upper frame 3121 in the width direction perpendicular to the motorcycle 100 is smaller than the average area of ​​the cross-section of the lower frame 3122 in the width direction perpendicular to the motorcycle 100. The upper frame 3121 is connected to the second connecting part 122, and the front bracket 12 enhances the structural stability of the upper frame 3121. Therefore, the upper frame 3121 is thinner than the lower frame 3122, which helps to save materials and space occupied in the motorcycle 100; while the lower frame 3122 is thicker than the upper frame 3121 to enhance the resistance to deformation and make the headlight mounting frame 312 structure more stable.

[0038] See Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, there are two headlights 311. When the headlight assembly 31 is mounted to the front cover 21, the two headlights 311 are respectively arranged along the width direction of the motorcycle 100. The headlight mounting frame 312 includes a left mounting frame 3123, a right mounting frame 3124, and a connecting frame 3125. The two headlights 311 are respectively mounted on the left mounting frame 3123 and the right mounting frame 3124. The left mounting frame 3123 and the right mounting frame 3124 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the connecting frame 3125 along the width direction of the motorcycle 100. The left mounting frame 3123 surrounds the left headlight 311, and the right mounting frame 3124 surrounds the right headlight 311. The upper frame 3121 of the headlight mounting frame 312 includes the upper structure of the left mounting frame 3123 and the upper structure of the right mounting frame 3124. The lower frame 3122 of the headlight mounting frame 312 includes the lower structure of the left mounting frame 3123 and the lower structure of the right mounting frame 3124.

[0039] By connecting the frame 3125, the left assembly frame 3123 and the right assembly frame 3124 are connected as a whole, thereby making the overall structure of the headlight assembly frame 312 more stable and the internal structure of the headlight assembly 31 more consistent. On the one hand, it improves the consistency of the illumination path of the headlights 311 on the left and right sides, and on the other hand, it enhances the support of the front cover 21 and strengthens the connection stability of the front cover 21.

[0040] See Figure 4 In some embodiments, the left mounting frame 3123 is connected to the front cover 21 around the periphery of the mounted headlight 311 by a plurality of bolts, and the right mounting frame 3124 is connected to the front cover 21 around the periphery of the mounted headlight 311 by a plurality of bolts, thereby making the headlight mounting frame 312 and the front cover 21 stably connected.

[0041] In some embodiments, the connecting frame 3125 includes an upper connecting frame 3125a and a lower connecting frame 3125b. The upper connecting frame 3125a is located above the lower connecting frame 3125b. The left and right ends of the upper connecting frame 3125a are connected to the left assembly frame 3123 and the right assembly frame 3124, respectively. The left and right ends of the lower connecting frame 3125b are connected to the left assembly frame 3123 and the right assembly frame 3124, respectively. The upper frame 3121 of the headlight assembly frame 312 also includes the upper connecting frame 3125a, which is substantially connected between the upper structure of the left assembly frame 3123 and the upper structure of the right assembly frame 3124; the lower frame 3122 of the headlight assembly frame 312 also includes the lower connecting frame 3125b, which is substantially connected between the lower structure of the left assembly frame 3123 and the lower structure of the right assembly frame 3124.

[0042] By using separate upper connecting frame 3125a and lower connecting frame 3125b, the constraint on the relative position of the left assembly frame 3123 and the right assembly frame 3124 is improved, and the torsional resistance of the left assembly frame 3123 and the right assembly frame 3124 is enhanced, thereby improving the deformation resistance of the headlight assembly frame 312 and making the internal structure of the headlight assembly 31 more consistent.

[0043] In some embodiments, multiple second connecting portions 122 are provided, with the left mounting frame 3123 connected to at least one second connecting portion 122, and the right mounting frame 3124 connected to at least one second connecting portion 122. The two headlights 311 are respectively mounted on the left mounting frame 3123 and the right mounting frame 3124. The front bracket 12 can more directly bear the weight of the headlights 311 on both sides through the left mounting frame 3123 and the right mounting frame 3124, reducing the possibility of movement of the left headlight 311 and the left mounting frame 3123 relative to the right headlight 311 and the right mounting frame 3124, thus enhancing the stability of the internal structure of the headlight assembly 31. Furthermore, the second connecting portions 122 are distributed over a wider area in the width direction of the motorcycle 100, which is beneficial for improving the support stability of the front cover 21.

[0044] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the essential spirit and scope of this application fall within the scope of this application's disclosure.
