Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present disclosure concerns a motorcycle. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] JP2015-178343A discloses a motorcycle in which a windscreen, blocking airflow towards a rider, is arranged in front of a measuring instrument unit. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] When the size of the windshield is increased, the wind pressure acting on the windshield is increased, and therefore it is necessary to increase the thickness of the windshield itself or to increase the supporting stiffness of the windshield to ensure the rigidity of the windshield.

[0004] On the other hand, the windshield is generally made from a transparent molded resin; however, as demolding becomes more difficult with increasing size, the mold can be complex to ensure removability. That is to say, as the size of the windshield increases, the supporting structure or its shape tends to be more complex.

[0005] The present disclosure provides a motorcycle that is able to prevent the shape of a windshield from becoming complicated while ensuring the supporting rigidity of the windshield, even if the windshield is large.

[0006] According to an illustrative aspect of the present disclosure, a motorcycle comprises: a central screen or shield located in the center of a front part of a vehicle body in a vehicle width direction, and having an outer section or portion of the central shield provided on both outer lateral parts in the vehicle width direction; and a pair of left and right lateral shields, each located on both outer sides in the vehicle width direction with respect to the central shield, each having an inner portion of the lateral shield on an inner end portion in the vehicle width direction. The outer portion of the central shield and the inner portion of the lateral shield overlap at least partially in a vehicle front view.

[0007] According to the motorcycle of the present disclosure, since the windshield can be implemented by dividing it into three shielding components—comprising the central shield and the pair of left and right side shields—even if the size of the windshield is increased, an increase in the size of each shielding component is prevented, thus ensuring easy removal of the mold. Furthermore, of the outer part of the central shield and the inner parts of the side shields, which overlap in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, one located at the rear is covered by the other located at the front, and thus is less likely to directly absorb wind pressure. Since the required supporting stiffness of one is reduced, the supporting structure (for example, the mounting structure) can therefore be simplified.Therefore, even with a large-scale shield, it is possible to prevent complications in the shield shape while ensuring the supporting rigidity of the shield.

DESCRIPTION OF EXECUTION FORMS

[0008] A motorcycle 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 to Fig. 5 described. In the following description, reference is made to a front-back direction, a left-right direction and an up-down direction, as seen by a rider riding on the motorcycle 1, as the front-rear direction, left-right direction and up-down direction respectively of the motorcycle 1 and each component.

[0009] Fig. Figure 1 is a front view illustrating motorcycle 1. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the motorcycle 1 comprises a headlight 2 arranged on a front part of the vehicle body, a headlight cover 3 covering one perimeter of the headlight 2 from the front, an upper fairing 4 attached to an upper part of the headlight cover 3, a pair of left and right side fairings 5 ​​attached to a side part of the vehicle body by both side parts of the headlight cover 3, and a transparent windscreen 30 arranged on the front part of the vehicle body. In each drawing, except for Figure 1, the motorcycle 1 is shown without a headlight 2. Fig. In section 4, the windshield 30 is in a transparent state and its outline is illustrated by a two-point chain line. Fig. 1 is essentially the right half of the upper panel 4 omitted.

[0010] The headlight cover 3 covers the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the headlight 2 from the front. The upper cover 4 comprises a central part 4a, located in the middle in the vehicle width direction and extending in a substantially horizontal direction, and a pair of left and right inclined parts 4b, extending in a direction inclined outwards in the vehicle width direction from both lateral parts of the central part 4a towards the top. An upper end position of the central part 4a is essentially the same height position as a grip part 6a of a handlebar 6.

[0011] Fig. Figure 2 is a left side view of the front part of the motorcycle body. As shown in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 2, the motorcycle 1 further comprises at the front part of the vehicle body a handlebar 6 which is steered by a rider, a head tube 7 which rotatably supports the handlebar 6, a measuring instrument unit 8 which is arranged in front of the head tube 7 and behind the headlight cover 3, and a measuring instrument panel 9 which covers a circumference of the measuring instrument unit 8.

[0012] Fig. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the perimeter of the windshield 30 as seen from a left rear side. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 3, the motorcycle 1 includes a headlight strut 10, which is attached to the head tube 7 (see Figure 3). Fig. 2) is attached and extends forward. The headlight 2 (see Fig. 1), the headlight cover 3 and the side panel 5 (see Fig. 2) are attached to the headlight strut 10. The headlight strut 10 has a front section 11 at its front end, which extends upwards in the front-to-rear direction between the measuring instrument unit 8 (the measuring instrument panel 9) and the headlight cover 3. The windshield 30 is attached to the front section 11 of the headlight strut.

[0013] With reference also to Fig. 1 The front part 11 of the headlight strut extends in an inverted U-shape, open downwards in the front view. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 2, the front part 11 of the headlight strut extends in a direction that, in side view, is inclined upwards towards the rear. As shown in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the front part 11 of the headlight strut comprises a pair of left and right first parts 12 of the strut extending along the top-bottom direction, and a second part 13 of the strut connecting upper end parts of the pair of left and right first parts 12 of the strut in the left-right direction.

[0014] Shielding mounting bases 14 are attached to the pair of left and right first parts 12 of the strut, for example by welding. Shielding brackets 16 are detachably attached to the left and right shielding mounting bases 14 by bolt fastenings.

[0015] As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 3, the shielding mounting base 14 is a plate-shaped element that extends forward from the first part 12 of the strut and has a thickness in the vehicle width direction. The shielding mounting base 14 has a plurality of through holes 15 penetrating in the vehicle width direction. In the present embodiment, four through holes 15 are arranged at equal intervals in the top-bottom direction.

[0016] The shielding bracket 16 is an L-shaped, plate-like element with a first surface part 17 extending in the front-to-rear direction along an inner surface of the shielding mounting base 14 in the vehicle width direction, and a second surface part 18 curved inwards in the vehicle width direction from a front end part of the first surface part 17 and extending inwards in the vehicle width direction. The shielding bracket 16 has two first attached parts 19 on the first surface part 17. In the present embodiment, the first attached part 19 comprises a nut welded to and attached thereto on an inner surface of the first surface part 17 in the vehicle width direction, and a through-hole formed at a position corresponding to the nut.

[0017] The shielding bracket 16 is attached to the first two fixed parts 19 by bolting or screwing it to the shielding mounting base 14 from an outside side in the vehicle width direction via any two adjacent through-holes below the four through-holes 15. That is, by selecting any two adjacent through-holes from the four through-holes 15, the position of the shielding bracket 16 in the up-down direction relative to the shielding mounting base 14 is changed. Accordingly, the position of the windshield 30 attached to the shielding bracket 16 in the up-down direction can be changed.

[0018] In the present embodiment, since the shield mounting base 14 has the four vertically arranged through holes 15, it is possible to adjust the position of the windshield 30 to three different heights by selecting two adjacent through holes 15. Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. Figure 4 illustrates a condition in which the shielding bracket 16 is attached to two adjacent through-holes 15 on the underside below the four through-holes 15, and the windshield 30 is mounted at its lowest height position. Each through-hole 15 can be a long hole extending in the top-bottom direction, and in this case, the position of the shielding bracket 16 can be finely adjusted in the top-bottom direction relative to the shielding mounting base 14.

[0019] The shielding bracket 16 has two second fixed parts 20 on the second surface part 18. A central shield 31, which will be described later, of the windshield 30 is detachably attached to the second fixed parts 20 by means of a bolt fastening. In the present embodiment, the second fixed part 20 comprises a nut welded to and attached thereto to a rear surface of the second surface part 18 and a through-hole formed at a position corresponding to the nut.

[0020] With reference also to Fig. 1. The two second fixed parts 20 are arranged in the top-bottom direction, and a second fixed part 20b, located below a second fixed part 20a located above it, is positioned inwards in the vehicle width direction. That is, with respect to the left and right shielding brackets 16, the distance in the vehicle width direction between the left and right lower second fixed parts 20b, which are located below, is shorter than the distance in the vehicle width direction between the left and right upper second fixed parts 20a, which are located above it.

[0021] Next, the windshield 30 is described. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the windscreen 30 is a transparent resin element provided on the front of the headlight cover 3 to shield an occupant riding on the motorcycle 1 from the front. The windscreen 30 receives the airflow generated during travel and deflects it outwards and upwards in the width direction of the vehicle, thus preventing the airflow from affecting the occupant.

[0022] The windscreen 30 comprises a central shield 31 located in the middle in the vehicle's width direction, and a pair of left and right side shields 32 located on either side of the central shield 31 in the vehicle's width direction. The windscreen 30 according to the present disclosure is divided into three parts. The central shield 31 is located on a rear side of the upper fairing 4, and the pair of left and right side shields 32 are located on a front side of the upper fairing 4. That is, the upper fairing 4 is sandwiched between the central shield 31 and the pair of left and right side shields 32 in the front-to-rear direction.

[0023] As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the side shield 32, viewed from the front, extends outwards in the vehicle width direction from an inner part 32a of the side shield, located near an outer surface in the vehicle width direction above the headlight 2, curves backwards, extends rearwards, and covers the two side parts of the headlight cover 3 from the front and the outer surface in the vehicle width direction. The inner part 32a of the side shield extends in a direction inclined inwards towards the lower side in the vehicle width direction. The inner part 32a of the side shield 32 is attached to the upper trim panel 4 by a bolt fastening at two upper and lower points 36 for securing the side shield from an outer surface, i.e., the front.

[0024] Fig. 4 is along a line IV-IV in Fig. 1. Cross-sectional view taken and extending through the two upper and lower points 36 for the attachment of a lateral shield. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 4, the side shield 32 is attached at an upper point 36a for fastening the side shield via bolts to the inclined part 4b of the upper cover 4 and is attached at a lower point 36b for fastening the side shield via bolts to the headlight cover 3, with the inclined part 4b of the upper cover 4 being positioned in between.

[0025] As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, a line segment L1 connecting the two upper and lower points 36 for attaching a side shield is inclined inwards towards the lower side in the vehicle width direction. The line segment L1 extends substantially parallel to an inner edge portion 32c of the inner portion 32a of the side shield in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, a space defined between the left and right side shields 32 and a space defined between the left and right points 36 for attaching the side shields become narrower towards the lower side in the vehicle width direction.

[0026] As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 2, the side shield 32 extends in a downward-sloping direction towards the rear in the side view. The side shield 32 extends to a position in the front-to-rear direction corresponding to the head tube 7 and also covers the instrument panel 9 from the outside in the vehicle width direction. A lower edge portion 32b of the side shield 32 is attached to an upper edge portion of the side panel 5 by a bolt fastening.

[0027] In the present embodiment, the upper edge portion of the side panel 5 comprises a first upper wall portion 5a, which is inclined upwards towards the rear, and a second upper wall portion 5b, which adjoins a rear end of the first upper wall portion 5a and is inclined downwards towards the rear. The side shield 32 is curved so that it projects upwards, such that the lower edge portion 32b extends along both the first upper wall portion 5a and the second upper wall portion 5b. The lower edge portion 32b of the side shield 32 is fastened to the first upper wall portion 5a and the second upper wall portion 5b by a bolt fastening per wall portion from the upper side.Since the lower edge part 32b of the side shield 32 is attached to both the first upper wall part 5a and the second upper wall part 5b with different inclination directions with respect to the front-rear direction, the attachment stiffness is high compared to a case in which the lower edge part 32b is attached to the same plane.

[0028] As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the central shield 31 is formed in an arc shape, the cross-section of which is convex forward along the horizontal direction. In particular, the cross-sectional shape of the central shield 31 extends along the horizontal direction in the arc shape, so that it generally follows extension lines of the curves of the pair of left and right lateral shields 32.

[0029] The central shield 31 has through-holes 31a at two upper and lower locations on a substantially central portion in the top-bottom direction, and a row of these through-holes is arranged on each of the left and right sides of a center line in the vehicle width direction. The central shield 31 is attached to the second attached parts 20 of the left and right shield brackets 16 by bolts from the front at the through-holes 31a at two upper and lower locations in two rows. Therefore, in the present embodiment, only the central shield 31 of the windshield 30 is adjustable in a position in the top-bottom direction, and the side shields 32 are fixed in a position in the top-bottom direction.

[0030] The central shield 31 has no through-holes formed in the outer parts 31b of the central shield, which are both lateral parts in the vehicle width direction, and is not attached to other elements. Therefore, the outer part 31b of the central shield is supported in a cantilevered state with respect to a fastening element on the second attached part 20 via the through-holes 31a in the central part.

[0031] As described above, the central shield 31 in the Fig. Figure 1 illustrates the state in which the central shield 31 is at its lowest height position. A first part 33 of the central shield is located between the left and right points 36 for attaching the side shields, and a second part 34 of the central shield are located above the first part 33. The second part 34 of the central shield is wider than the first part 33 in the vehicle width direction. A pair of left and right step sections 35 of the central shield, extending in the vehicle width direction, are formed between the first part 33 and the second part 34 of the central shield.

[0032] The width of the first part 33 of the central shield gradually decreases towards the bottom in the direction of the vehicle's width. Specifically, both lateral edge parts 33a of the first part 33 of the central shield are inclined inwards towards the bottom in the direction of the vehicle's width. Accordingly, even if the central shield 31 is moved in the up-down direction, the two lateral edge parts 33a are prevented from obstructing fastening elements such as mounting bolts, which are inserted through points 36 to attach the lateral shields. In the state of Fig. 1 is the first part 33 of the central shielding, which is essentially completely covered by the upper panel 4 from the front and is hardly visible in appearance.

[0033] The second part 34 of the central shield has a wide part 34a at its lower end, which is the widest part, and the width in the vehicle width direction gradually decreases from the wide part 34a upwards. In the second part 34 of the central shield, a portion of the wide part 34a, located outside the point 36 for attaching the side shield in the vehicle width direction, lies on a rear side of the inner part 32a of the side shield. More precisely, a portion of the outer part 31b of the central shield, corresponding to the wide part 34a, and a portion of the inner part 32a of the side shield, located above the point 36 for attaching the side shield, overlap each other in a vehicle front view. Therefore, the outer part 31b of the central shielding and the inner part 32a of the side shielding overlap each other at least partially in the front view of the vehicle.

[0034] The stepped section 35 of the central shield is a part that corresponds to a lower edge of the wide section 34a in the outer section 31b of the central shield. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 1, the stepped portion 35 of the central shield is in a state where the central shield 31 is in its lowest position, on the rear side of the inner portion 32a of the side shield. In other words, the stepped portion 35 of the central shield overlaps the inner portion 32a of the side shield in the vehicle's front view. That is, the stepped portion 35 of the central shield does not appear on an outer circumferential edge of the windshield 30.

[0035] Fig. 5 is a front view similar to Fig. Figure 1 shows a state in which the height position of the central shield 31 is at its highest position by changing the position of the shield support 16 relative to the shield mounting base 14. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 5, in a state where the central shield 31 is located at its uppermost side, at least part of the stepped portion 35 of the central shield, which is located on the outside in the vehicle width direction, is still on the rear side of the inner part 32a of the side shield and does not appear on the outer circumferential edge of the windshield 30. On the other hand, part of the stepped portion 35 of the central shield, which is located inwards in the vehicle width direction of the inner part 32a of the side shield, is located on the rear side of the upper trim panel 4. The entire stepped portion 35 of the central shield can be located on the rear side of the inner part 32a of the side shield.Furthermore, the two lateral edge parts 33a and a lower edge part 33b of the first part 33 of the central shield are covered from the front by the upper cover 4 and are not visible. In other words, in a state where the central shield 31 is located on the innermost side with respect to the lateral shield 32 and the upper cover 4, as shown in . Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a portion of an outer circumferential edge section located near the center in the vehicle width direction is covered from the front by the upper panel 4, and a portion of the outer circumferential edge section located near the outside in the vehicle width direction is covered from the front by the inner part 32a of the side shield. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. Figure 5 shows that when the central shield 31 is in the raised position, the side shields 32 extend beyond the stepped sections 35 of the central shield to overlap at least the outer parts of the stepped sections 35 of the central shield. Furthermore, the upper panel 4 is arranged to overlap an inner part located on an inner side in the vehicle width direction than the outer parts of the stepped sections 35 of the central shield, the two side edge sections 33a, and the lower edge section 33b of the first section 33 of the central shield.

[0036] This means that, regardless of the height position of the central shield 31, the two lateral edge parts 33a and the lower edge part 33b of the first part 33 of the central shield are not visible, and the stepped part 35 of the central shield does not appear on the outer circumferential edge of the windshield 30. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the outer circumferential edge part of the central shield 31 is not subjected to any rounding (also referred to as beading) on ​​the part that is not visible or does not appear on the outer circumferential edge, i.e., the two lateral edge parts 33a and the lower edge part 33b of the first part 33 of the central shield, and the stepped part 35 of the central shield. Accordingly, the manufacture of the central shield 31 is simplified.In particular, if the central shield 31 is formed from a resin, it is easier to ensure the draft gradient than if the beading is carried out along the entire circumference of an edge part.

[0037] The motorcycle 1 according to the present disclosure exhibits the following effects. (1) The motorcycle 1 comprises: the central shield 31, which is arranged in the middle of the front part of the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction and has the outer parts 31b of the central shield on both outer lateral parts in the vehicle width direction; and the pair of left and right side shields 32, each arranged on both outer sides in the vehicle width direction with respect to the central shield 31, and each having the inner parts 32a of the side shield on an inner end part in the vehicle width direction, wherein the outer parts 31b of the central shielding and the inner parts 32a of the side shielding overlap at least partially in a vehicle front view.

[0038] According to the present configuration, since the windshield 30 can be implemented by dividing it into three shielding components comprising the central shield 31 and the pair of left and right side shields 32, even if the size of the windshield 30 is increased, an increase in the size of each of the shielding components is prevented, thus ensuring easy removal of the form. Furthermore, of the outer parts 31b of the central shield and the inner parts 32a of the side shields, which overlap in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, the outer part 31b of the central shield, located at the rear, is covered by the inner part 32a of the side shield, located at the front, and is therefore less likely to directly absorb wind pressure.Since the required support stiffness of the central shield 31 is reduced, the support structure (for example, the fastening structure) can therefore be simplified.

[0039] (2) The position of the central shield 31 in the top-bottom direction can be changed.

[0040] According to this configuration, the position of the central shield 31 in the top-bottom direction can be changed depending on the driving situation of the vehicle and the driver's wishes.

[0041] (3) The side shields 32 have the points 36 for attaching the side shields, which are attached to the vehicle body; the central shield 31 has: the first part 33 of the central shielding, which extends in the vehicle width direction between the left and right points 36 for attaching the side shielding; the second part 34 of the central shield, which is located above the first part 33 of the central shield and from which both lateral parts project outwards in the vehicle width direction from the points 36 for attaching the lateral shields in the vehicle width direction; and the pair of left and right step parts 35 of the central shield, which are defined between the first part 33 of the central shield and the second part 34 of the central shield on the two lateral parts in the vehicle width direction, and at least parts near an outer side in the vehicle width direction of the pair of left and right step parts 35 of the central shield overlap the pair of left and right inner parts 32a of the lateral shields in the vehicle front view regardless of the position of the central shield 31 in the top-bottom direction.

[0042] According to the present configuration, in a case where the central shield 31 is configured so that its position can be changed in the up-down direction, and the point 36 for attaching the side shield is located in the inner part 32a of the side shield, while the outer part 31b of the central shield and the inner part 32a of the side shield are configured to overlap each other in the vehicle's front view, the stepped part 35 of the central shield can be formed in the outer part 31b of the central shield. In this case, since the stepped part 35 of the central shield does not protrude from the side shield 32 regardless of the position of the central shield 31 in the up-down direction, a deterioration of the appearance due to the stepped part 35 of the central shield is prevented.Furthermore, since there is no feeling of danger due to the step section 35 of the central shield, it is not necessary to provide the step section 35 of the central shield with a rounded edge to reduce the feeling of danger.

[0043] (4) Furthermore, the upper cover 4 is included, which is configured to cover the lower part of the central shield 31 from the front, irrespective of the position of the central shield 31 in the top-bottom direction.

[0044] According to this configuration, even if the position of the central shield 31 is changed in the top-bottom direction, the lower part of the central shield 31 is obscured by the upper cover 4. Therefore, even if the position of the central shield 31 is changed in the top-bottom direction, the upper cover 4 prevents the two lateral edge parts 33a and the lower edge part 33b of the first part 33 of the central shield from being visible, thus preventing any deterioration of the appearance.

[0045] (5) Furthermore, the handlebar 6 and the head tube 7, on which the handlebar 6 is rotatably mounted, are included, and rear end parts of the pair of left and right side shields 32 overlap the head tube 7 in a side view of the vehicle.

[0046] According to the present configuration, a windshield effect is slightly enhanced by the side shield 32, the size of which is increased in the front-rear direction.

[0047] (6) The outer part 31b of the central shield is located at least in the step part 35 of the central shield behind the inner part 32a of the side shield.

[0048] According to this configuration, the outer part 31b of the central shield is covered from the front by the inner part 32a of the side shield, at least in the stepped section 35 of the central shield. Since the wind pressure that can act on the outer part 31b of the central shield is reduced, the number of attachment points in the outer part 31b of the central shield can consequently be reduced. Because the central shield 31 is simplified, visibility is consequently good.

[0049] (7) One dimension of the first part 33 of the central shield in the vehicle width direction decreases towards the lower side.

[0050] According to the present configuration, the central shield 31 can be arranged between the left and right points 36 for attaching the side shields in a state in which the plurality of left and right points 36 for attaching the side shields is provided vertically in the pair of left and right inner parts 32a of the side shields, even in a case in which the dimension between them decreases in the vehicle width direction towards the bottom.

[0051] The motorcycle 1 according to the present disclosure is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the height position of the central shield 31 can be changed by changing the mounting position of the shield support 16 relative to the shield mounting base 14; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the height position of the central shield 31 can be changed by changing the shield support 16 to a shield support in which the height position of the second mounted part 20 is changed relative to the first mounted part 19.

[0053] In the embodiment described above, the case in which the vertical position of the central shield 31 is changed was given as an example; however, the position of the central shield 31 need not necessarily be changeable. That is, the structure according to the present disclosure can also be applied to the central shield 31 whose position in the vertical direction is fixed and cannot be changed. Even in this case, since the inner part 32a of the side shield and the outer part 31b of the central shield are configured to overlap at least partially in the front view of the vehicle, the support structure of the elements located on the rear side can be simplified.

[0054] In the embodiment described above, the case in which the upper panel 4 is located between the central shield 31 and the side shield 32 was described as an example; however, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the side shield 32 can be arranged on the rear side of the upper panel 4, as long as the upper panel 4 is located on the front side of the central shield 31.

[0055] Additionally, from the perspective of avoiding the deterioration of the appearance due to the step section 35 of the central shielding, as in Fig.Figure 6 illustrates that the side shield 32 is arranged on a rear side of the central shield 31. Even in this case, the stepped part 35 of the central shield does not appear on the outer circumferential edge of the windshield 30. In this case, the central shield 31, located on the front, can be attached to an element on the vehicle body side of the outer part 31b of the central shield, and the side shield 32, located on the rear side, can further be modified to simplify the attachment structure on the inner part 32a of the side shield.
