Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a vehicle, and more particularly to a straddle-type vehicle on which electrical components can be installed on the auxiliary water tank. Background Technology
[0002] Taiwanese patent No. TWM622760 discloses a motorcycle radiator configuration comprising a main radiator located in the right compartment of the motorcycle and below a right rear tube, and an auxiliary radiator located in the left compartment of the motorcycle and between a left rear tube and an engine assembly. The main radiator is connected to a cooling system on the engine assembly via piping to improve cooling performance. The auxiliary radiator is connected to the main radiator via piping. However, when electrical components need to be installed on the auxiliary radiator, it can only be fixed to the left rear tube or frame by welding, making future disassembly and maintenance difficult. Furthermore, the electrical components are positioned front-to-back with the auxiliary radiator, occupying considerable space and resulting in low space utilization. Utility Model Content

[0056] See Figure 1 and Figure 2An embodiment of the present invention, a straddle-type vehicle, includes a body 1, a power system 2 disposed on the body 1, a main water tank 3 disposed adjacent to the power system 2 on the body 1, an auxiliary water tank 4 disposed on the body 1 and located above the power system 2, an electrical component 5 detachably disposed on the auxiliary water tank 4, and a cover 6 detachably disposed on the body 1 and covering the auxiliary water tank 4 and the electrical component 5. The body 1 defines a storage space 11 located above the power system 2 and a maintenance space 12 communicating with the storage space 11 and located behind the storage space 11. The maintenance space 12 has an upward-facing upper opening 121 and a side opening 122 connecting the upper opening 121 and facing the storage space 11. The power system 2 is preferably an engine, but may also be a motor, a compound engine, or other power source capable of driving the body 1 as needed, and should not be limited to the aforementioned examples. The main water tank 3 is equipped with a water filling hole and is connected to the auxiliary water tank 4 via a pipeline.
[0057] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 4 The auxiliary water tank 4 is located within the maintenance space 12 and includes a tank body 41 communicating with the main water tank 3, and a support portion 42 protruding upward from the tank body 41. The tank body 41 has a top surface 411, a mounting side surface 412 connecting to the top surface 411 and extending downward, and a mounting plane 413 connecting to the mounting side surface 412 and extending away from it. The mounting side surface 412 and the mounting plane 413 cooperate to define a recessed space 414. The support portion 42 extends from the tank body 41 and is placed within the recessed space 414. (See reference...) Figures 3 to 6 The top surface 411 is provided with an upward-facing water inlet 43. The water inlet 43 overlaps with the upper opening 121, allowing the user to quickly fill the water inlet 43 through the upper opening 121. The electrical component 5 includes a main body 51 and a fixing part 52 that is detachably mounted on the support part 42 by means of a latch, screw connection, fastening, or other structure. The entire electrical component 5 is located in the recessed space 414. This arrangement ensures that the electrical component 5 does not occupy additional maintenance space 12, achieving a compact configuration and full utilization of space. Furthermore, the electrical component 5 at least partially overlaps with the upper opening 121 or the side opening 122, facilitating the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the electrical component 5, effectively improving convenience.
[0058] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 4The cover 6, by means of a latch, screw connection, snap-fit, or other structure, is detachably mounted on the upper opening 121 and the side opening 122 to close the maintenance space 12, thereby concealing the auxiliary water tank 4 and the electrical component 5. The cover 6 has an upper surface 61 facing upwards to conceal the upper opening 121, and a side surface 62 connected to the upper surface 61 and facing the storage space 11 to conceal the side opening 122. The cover 6 effectively prevents the theft of the electrical component 5.
[0059] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 ,and Figure 4 The auxiliary water tank 4 is connected to the main water tank 3 via pipeline B. Because there is a significant height difference between the auxiliary water tank 4 and the main water tank 3, water from the auxiliary water tank 4 can flow into the main water tank 3, while also preventing heat damage from the electrical component 5 from affecting the power system 2. The electrical component 5 is detachably mounted on the support portion 42 and is integrated entirely within the recessed space 414. This means that no part of the electrical component 5 protrudes forward or backward relative to the housing portion 41, nor does it protrude out of the recessed space 414 in the left or right direction. This design effectively utilizes the maintenance space 12, achieving a compact configuration and space saving.
[0060] In summary, by integrating the electrical component 5 into the recessed space 414, this utility model achieves a compact configuration and improves space utilization. Furthermore, the auxiliary water tank 4 and the electrical component 5 are located at a relatively high position relative to the power system 2 and the main water tank 3. This not only keeps the heat hazard of the electrical component 5 away from the power system 2, but also allows water from the auxiliary water tank 4 to flow into the main water tank 3 through potential energy. After removing the cover 6, the user can disassemble or repair the electrical component 5 through the upper opening 121 and the side opening 122, and can also fill water into the water inlet 43, improving the convenience of overall maintenance and repair. Therefore, this utility model truly achieves its purpose.
[0061] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims and description of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of this utility model patent.
