Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Motorcycles have controllers, such as ECU (Electronic Control Unit) modules, which are the core electronic control components of motorcycles. In related technologies, the controller is typically located on the side of the frame. This layout prevents the controller from being directly exposed to the side of the frame, placing it in the most vulnerable position in the event of a motorcycle tipping over or experiencing a lateral impact. Under dynamic conditions, the lack of structural shielding from the vehicle body makes the controller an easy first point of contact, susceptible to direct mechanical impact, which can cause internal circuit board breakage, connector loosening, and other malfunctions. In the event of a rollover accident, this can lead to momentary controller failure, directly impacting driving safety. Therefore, the controller's placement is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a motorcycle with a reasonably positioned controller.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a motorcycle. The motorcycle includes a frame, a running gear, a power system, a body panel, and a control system. The frame includes a front support bracket and a rear support bracket. The front support bracket is located in front of the rear support bracket and is fixedly connected to the rear support bracket. The running gear is rotatably connected to the frame. The power system is supported by the frame and provides power to the running gear. The body panel includes a seat bucket. The control system includes a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the power system to collect data from the power system and control the operating mode of the power system. The frame includes a seat bucket support frame. The seat bucket support frame is fixedly connected to the rear support bracket. The seat bucket is connected to and supported by the seat bucket support frame. The controller is located in front of the seat bucket and connected to the seat bucket support frame; a vertical plane perpendicular to the width direction of the motorcycle and passing through the center of the width of the motorcycle is defined as the width center reference plane; two planes located on the left and right sides of the width center reference plane and parallel to the width center reference plane are defined as the first reference plane and the second reference plane, respectively; the distance between the first reference plane and the width center reference plane and the distance between the second reference plane and the width center reference plane are both less than or equal to 34mm; the controller is at least partially located between the first reference plane and the second reference plane.

[0005] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is at least partially penetrated by the width center reference surface.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the toilet seat support frame has two toilet seat mounting portions and one controller mounting portion. The two toilet seat mounting portions are symmetrical about a width center reference plane. The toilet seat is connected to the two toilet seat mounting portions. The controller mounting portion is located between the two toilet seat mounting portions. The controller is connected to the controller mounting portion.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle body panel further includes a front cover. Viewed along the width direction of the motorcycle, the front cover at least partially covers the front of the bucket seat and the bucket seat support frame. A receiving space is formed between the front cover and the bucket seat, and the controller is located within the receiving space.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, a vent is provided on the front side of the vehicle body hood. The vent communicates with the receiving space.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the power system is at least partially located below the seat bucket support frame and seat bucket components. The air vents are located at the lower part of the front grille. Viewed along the length of the motorcycle, the air vents at least partially overlap with the power system.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is located above the vent when viewed along the length of the motorcycle.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the seat bucket support frame is provided with a controller mounting section. The controller mounting section is an elongated structure that extends substantially along the height direction of the motorcycle. The controller mounting section has multiple mounting screw holes. The controller is fixedly connected to the controller mounting section through these mounting screw holes.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the control system further includes an electrical safety control component and a connecting cable. The electrical safety control component is located at the rear end of the rear support bracket. The controller and the electrical safety control component are electrically connected via the connecting cable. The connecting cable extends along the rear support bracket.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the rear support bracket is provided with a footrest mounting bracket. The vehicle body panel also includes a rear footrest. The rear footrest has a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The first mounting portion and the second mounting portion extend along the length direction of the motorcycle. The first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are respectively connected to the footrest mounting bracket.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the first mounting part is a hook structure and the second mounting part is a bolt fastening structure. The foot pedal mounting bracket has hook connection holes and bolt connection holes along the length of the motorcycle. The first mounting part passes through the hook connection holes and hooks onto the foot pedal mounting bracket. The second mounting part is fixedly connected to the bolt connection holes.

[0015] In this application, the controller is located in front of the under-seat storage compartment, thus placing it in the middle of the motorcycle along its length. Other motorcycle structures are located both in front of and behind the controller, reducing the likelihood of it being directly impacted along the motorcycle's length and improving its protective effect. For scooter-type motorcycles, the front of the under-seat storage compartment typically has ample space for legroom or storing items, so placing the controller does not excessively occupy internal space, facilitating its installation. Furthermore, the controller is at least partially located between the first and second reference surfaces, placing it also in the middle of the motorcycle along its width. It is not located on the far left or far right side of the motorcycle. This reasonable placement reduces the likelihood of the controller becoming the first point of contact when the motorcycle tipps over or experiences a lateral impact, further enhancing its protective effect.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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.

[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 running gear 20, a power system 30, a body panel 40, and a control system 50. The running gear 20 is at least partially located below the frame 10. The power system 30 is at least partially mounted on and fixedly connected to the frame 10, and is drive-connected to the running gear 20. The body panel 40 is at least partially supported by the frame 10. The control system 50 is electrically connected to the power system 30 to collect data from the power system 30 and control the operating mode of the power system 30.

[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 direction shown indicates 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] In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a front support bracket 11 and a rear support bracket 12. The front support bracket 11 is located in front of and fixedly connected to the rear support bracket 12. The running system 20 is rotatably connected to the frame 10. The power system 30 is supported by the frame 10 and provides power to the running system 20. The body panel 40 includes a seat bucket 41. The control system 50 includes a controller 51. The controller 51 is electrically connected to the power system 30 to collect data from the power system 30 and control the operating mode of the power system 30.

[0027] Understandably, in some embodiments, controller 51 is an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) module.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a seat support frame 13. The seat support frame 13 is fixedly connected to the rear support bracket 12. The seat bucket 41 is connected to and supported by the seat support frame 13. The controller 51 is located in front of the seat bucket 41 and connected to the seat support frame 13. A vertical plane perpendicular to the width direction of the motorcycle 100 and passing through the width center of the motorcycle 100 is defined as the width center reference plane S1. A first reference plane S2 and a second reference plane S3 are also defined. The first reference plane S2 and the second reference plane S3 are located on the left and right sides of the width center reference plane S1, respectively, and are parallel to the width center reference plane S1. The distance between the first reference plane S2 and the width center reference plane S1 is less than or equal to 34 mm. The distance between the second reference plane S3 and the width center reference plane S1 is less than or equal to 34 mm. The controller 51 is at least partially located between the first reference plane S2 and the second reference plane S3.

[0029] The controller 51 is located in front of the under-seat assembly 41, thus placing it in the middle of the motorcycle 100 along its length. Other structures of the motorcycle 100 are located in front of and behind the controller 51, reducing the likelihood of the controller 51 being directly impacted along the length of the motorcycle 100 and improving its protective effect. For scooter-type motorcycles 100, the front of the under-seat assembly 41 typically has ample space for the user's legs or for placing items. Therefore, placing the controller 51 does not excessively occupy the internal space of the motorcycle 100, facilitating its installation. Furthermore, the controller 51 is at least partially located between the first reference surface S2 and the second reference surface S3, thus also placing it in the middle of the motorcycle 100 along its width. The controller 51 is not located on the far left or far right of the motorcycle 100. This reasonable placement reduces the likelihood of the controller 51 becoming the first point of contact when the motorcycle 100 tilts or is subjected to a lateral impact, further improving its protective effect.

[0030] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the width center reference surface S1 at least partially penetrates the controller 51. The controller 51 is positioned closer to the width center of the motorcycle 100 in the width direction, so that the controller 51 is away from the two outer sides in the width direction of the motorcycle 100, thereby further reducing the possibility of the controller 51 becoming the first point of contact when the motorcycle 100 tilts or is subjected to a lateral impact, and improving the protection effect of the controller 51.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the body cover 40 also includes a front cover 42. Viewed along the width of the motorcycle 100, the front cover 42 at least partially covers the front of the under-seat member 41 and the under-seat support frame 13. A receiving space is formed between the front cover 42 and the under-seat member 41. The controller 51 is located within the receiving space. The front cover 42 is at least partially connected to and supported by the rear support bracket 12. Specifically, the front cover 42 may extend to the left and right sides of the under-seat member 41.

[0032] By providing a front cover 42, the seat bucket assembly 41 and the seat bucket support frame 13 can be protected. A space is provided between the front cover 42 and the seat bucket assembly 41 to accommodate the controller 51, so that the controller 51 can be protected by the front cover 42, thereby improving the protection effect of the controller 51.

[0033] In some embodiments, a vent 421 is provided on the front side of the front cover 42. The vent 421 communicates with the receiving space so that airflow can enter and exit the receiving space through the vent 421. The receiving space is ventilated with the outside of the motorcycle 100 through the vent 421, and the airflow can flow through the controller 51 located in the receiving space, which facilitates heat dissipation of the controller 51 and helps keep the controller 51 dry, thereby protecting the controller 51.

[0034] In some embodiments, the power system 30 is at least partially located below the seat support frame 13 and the seat bucket 41. A vent 421 is located at the lower part of the front grille 42. Viewed along the length of the motorcycle 100, the vent 421 at least partially overlaps with the power system 30. The vent 421 can also be used for heat dissipation of the power system 30, and its location facilitates airflow directly through the vent 421 onto the power system 30, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the power system 30.

[0035] In some embodiments, when viewed along the length of the motorcycle 100, the controller 51 is located above the vent 421. This prevents airflow from blowing directly onto the controller 51 through the vent 421, which could damage the controller 51 or cause it to shake and make noise. It also prevents liquids from entering and damaging the controller 51 through the vent 421. Furthermore, it avoids obstructing airflow from blowing directly onto the power system 30 through the vent 421, thus preventing any impact on the heat dissipation of the power system 30.

[0036] In some embodiments, the bucket seat support frame 13 is provided with a controller mounting part 131. The controller 51 is fixed to the bucket seat support frame 13 via the controller mounting part 131, which facilitates the installation and removal of the controller 51.

[0037] In some embodiments, the controller mounting portion 131 is an elongated structure that extends substantially along the height direction of the motorcycle 100. The controller mounting portion 131 has multiple mounting screw holes along the height direction of the motorcycle 100. The controller 51 is fixedly connected to the controller mounting portion 131 through these mounting screw holes. The controller mounting portion 131 fully utilizes the height of the space between the front cover 42 and the seat bucket 41, facilitating the placement of the flat controller 51 and avoiding excessively increasing the longitudinal spacing between the front cover 42 and the seat bucket 41. Furthermore, the controller 51 is bolted to the mounting screw holes of the controller mounting portion 131, ensuring convenient assembly and stable fixation.

[0038] In some embodiments, the seat support frame 13 has two seat mounting portions 132 and one controller mounting portion 131. The two seat mounting portions 132 are symmetrical about the width center reference plane S1. The seat member 41 is connected to the two seat mounting portions 132. The controller mounting portion 131 is located between the two seat mounting portions 132. The controller 51 is connected to the controller mounting portion 131 and is located between the two seat mounting portions 132 in the width direction of the motorcycle 100. The seat mounting portions 132 on both sides are connected to the seat member 41, thereby forming structural reinforcement points on the left and right sides of the controller 51. When the motorcycle 100 is subjected to a lateral impact in the width direction, the controller 51 and the controller mounting portion 131 can absorb the impact first, thereby improving the protection effect of the controller 51.

[0039] In some embodiments, the control system 50 further includes an electrical safety control component 52 and a connecting cable 53. The electrical safety control component 52 is located at the rear end of the rear support bracket 12. The controller 51 and the electrical safety control component 52 are electrically connected via the connecting cable 53. The connecting cable 53 extends along the rear support bracket 12.

[0040] The controller 51 is connected to other components via the connecting cable 53. This allows components such as the electrical safety control unit 52, which are electrically connected to the controller 51, to be placed in other locations within the motorcycle 100, making full use of the space within the motorcycle 100 and preventing other components from occupying the space in front of the seat bucket 41 and affecting the placement of the controller 51. Furthermore, when connecting the controller 51 and components such as the electrical safety control unit 52, the connecting cable 53 can be laid along the rear support bracket 12 of the frame 10, utilizing the frame structure of the frame 10 to guide the routing of the connecting cable 53 and avoid messy wiring.

[0041] As an example, the electrical safety control unit 52 includes devices such as relays and fuse boxes. The controller 51 can also connect to other components, such as the engine assembly and instruments.

[0042] Understandably, in some embodiments, the connecting line 53 extends from the left or right side of the controller 51, and the width center reference plane S1 does not pass through the midpoint of the width of the controller 51. The controller 51 is offset relative to the width center of the motorcycle 100 in the width direction. This avoids bending at the joint where the connecting line 53 connects to the controller 51, which would affect the connection stability, and also facilitates balancing the weight of the motorcycle 100 in the width direction.

[0043] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the rear support bracket 12 is provided with a footrest mounting bracket 121. The body panel 40 also includes a rear footrest 43. The rear footrest 43 has a first mounting portion 431 and a second mounting portion 432. The first mounting portion 431 and the second mounting portion 432 extend along the length direction of the motorcycle 100. The first mounting portion 431 and the second mounting portion 432 are respectively connected to the footrest mounting bracket 121. The first mounting portion 431 and the second mounting portion 432 are arranged front and rear, making full use of the length of the frame 10 and saving the space required in the height direction of the motorcycle 100, which is beneficial for leaving space on the rear support bracket 12 for the arrangement of the connecting cable 53.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first mounting part 431 is a hook structure, and the second mounting part 432 is a bolt fastening structure. The footrest mounting bracket 121 has a hook connection hole and a bolt connection hole along the length of the motorcycle 100. The first mounting part 431 passes through the hook connection hole and hooks onto the footrest mounting bracket 121. The second mounting part 432 is fixedly connected to the bolt connection hole. When assembling the rear footrest 43, the first mounting part 431 is first hooked onto the footrest mounting bracket 121 for pre-fixation, which is simple to operate. Then, the second mounting part 432 is fixed to the footrest mounting bracket 121 with bolts to complete the fixation and ensure a stable connection.

[0045] 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.
