[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-047904 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the lid structure described in Patent Document 1, when the fuel lid is unlocked, it is necessary to open the fuel lid to a degree that will prevent it from being locked again due to its own weight or other factors. Normally, when the fuel lid is unlocked, the fuel lid is lifted by the reaction force of a spring, but in order to open the lid to a large degree, a spring with a large repulsive force must be used. This type of problem also occurs in electric vehicles.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and has an object to provide a lid structure that has a simple configuration and that allows the lid to be half-opened to a large opening degree when unlocked. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A lid structure of one embodiment of the present invention is a lid structure for a saddle-type vehicle that houses a fuel tank or a battery, and includes a tray that covers the area around the filler port of the fuel tank or the charging port of the battery, a lid that opens and closes an opening of the tray that exposes the filler port or the charging port, and a first operating unit and a second operating unit that push the lid up in an opening direction in two stages, and when the lid is released from a locked state, the first operating unit pushes the lid up to a first opening degree, and then the second operating unit pushes the lid up from the first opening degree to a second opening degree, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the lid structure of one aspect of the present invention, when the lid is unlocked, the first operating part pushes the lid up to a first opening degree, and the second operating part pushes the lid up from the first opening degree to a second opening degree, and the lid is supported by the second operating part in a half-open state. Regardless of the opening direction of the lid, the lid is sufficiently open to make it easy to hook a finger on it. A recess or the like for hooking a finger on the lid is no longer necessary, improving the freedom of design. In addition, the lid will not lock again due to its own weight or the like.

[0009] A saddle-type vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention accommodates a fuel tank or a battery. A tray covers the periphery of the fuel filler port of the fuel tank or the charging port of the battery, and an opening of the tray exposing the fuel filler port or the charging port is opened and closed by a lid. The lid is pushed up in two stages in the opening direction by a first operating part and a second operating part. When the lid is released from a locked state, the lid is pushed up to a first opening degree by the first operating part, and then the lid is pushed up from the first opening degree to a second opening degree by the second operating part, and the lid is supported by the second operating part in a half-open state. Regardless of the opening direction of the lid, the opening degree of the lid is sufficiently secured, making it easy to hook a finger on it. A recess or the like for hooking a finger on the lid is no longer necessary, improving the freedom of design. In addition, the lid is not locked again due to its own weight or the like. EXAMPLES

[0010] Hereinafter, a saddle-type vehicle according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a side view of the saddle-type vehicle according to the embodiment. In the following drawings, the arrow FR indicates the front of the vehicle, the arrow RE indicates the rear of the vehicle, the arrow L indicates the left side of the vehicle, and the arrow R indicates the right side of the vehicle.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 1, a scooter-type saddle-ride vehicle 1 is configured by mounting various covers as the exterior of the vehicle body to an underbone-type body frame (not shown). A front cover 11 is provided at the front of the vehicle, and a front leg shield 12 that protects the rider's legs is provided at the rear of the front cover 11. A footboard 13 extends rearward from the lower end of the front leg shield 12, and a side cover 14 is provided behind the footboard 13. A space for the rider's feet is formed in front of the seat 15 by the front leg shield 12 and the footboard 13.

[0012] A handlebar 16 is provided above the front cover 11, and a front wheel 18 is rotatably supported below the front cover 11 via a pair of front forks 17. A seat 15 is provided above the side cover 14, and a unit swing type engine 21 is provided below the side cover 14. The engine 21 is swingably connected to the body frame, and a rear wheel 19 is rotatably supported at the rear of the engine 21. The left side of the crankcase of the engine 21 is covered by a CVT cover 22, and an air cleaner 23 is provided above the CVT cover 22.

[0013] An exhaust pipe (not shown) extends from the engine 21 through the right side of the saddle riding type vehicle 1, and a muffler 24 that discharges exhaust gas is connected to the downstream end of the exhaust pipe. A side stand 25 that tilts the body of the saddle riding type vehicle 1 to allow it to stand on its own is provided on the left side of the saddle riding type vehicle 1. A fuel tank 31 (see FIG. 4) is installed inside the side cover 14. The filler opening of the fuel tank 31 is positioned behind the seat 15, allowing a third party to perform refueling without the rider getting off the saddle riding type vehicle 1. A fuel lid 41 is also attached to the rear of the vehicle to reduce exposure of the filler opening of the fuel tank 31.

[0014] In general saddle-type vehicles, the fuel lid is locked to prevent it from opening by itself. When the lid is unlocked, a spring pushes the fuel lid up. If the spring is installed near the hinge of the fuel lid, the fuel lid can open to a greater extent. In this case, a spring with a strong spring force is used, and it is necessary to increase the rigidity of the fuel lid so that it does not deform due to the spring force. If the rigidity of the fuel lid is low, the fuel lid may bend, which may cause poor alignment with surrounding parts such as the side cover.

[0015] In a configuration in which a spring is installed near the open end of the fuel lid, the fuel lid is only open to a small degree when it is half-open, and must be opened manually by hooking a finger on the fuel lid. For this reason, a recess or the like is required at the open end of the fuel lid for the finger to be hooked on. Also, if the fuel lid is only open to a small degree, there is a risk that the fuel lid may become locked again. Therefore, in the lid structure of this embodiment, when the fuel lid is unlocked, the fuel lid is pushed up in two stages, and is supported in a half-open state with a large opening.

[0016] The lid structure of a saddle-type vehicle will be described with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 5. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the lid structure of a saddle-type vehicle of this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a rear view of the lid structure of a saddle-type vehicle of this embodiment. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the lid structure of Fig. 3 taken along line AA. Fig. 5 is a top view of the lid structure of a saddle-type vehicle of this embodiment. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the lid structure of this embodiment.

[0017] 2 and 3, both side surfaces of the rear part of the vehicle are formed by a pair of side covers 14, and the rear surface of the rear part of the vehicle is formed by a fuel tray 36 and a tail lamp 26. A storage space for a fuel tank 31 (see FIG. 4) is formed inside the rear parts of the pair of side covers 14, the fuel tray (tray) 36, and the tail lamp 26, and the storage space for the fuel tank 31 is covered from above by the rear part of the seat 15. A grab bar 27 is provided between the rear part of the seat 15 and the rear parts of the pair of side covers 14, and a rear fender 28 is provided below the pair of side covers 14 and the tail lamp 26.

[0018] A fuel tray 36 is positioned on the upper rear side of the rear of the vehicle, and a tail lamp 26 is positioned on the lower rear side of the rear of the vehicle. The fuel tray 36 covers the fuel tank 31 from diagonally above the rear, and the tail lamp 26 covers the fuel tank 31 from behind. The fuel tray 36 is recessed, and the tank cap 34 of the fuel tank 31 is exposed from the fuel tray 36. When the tank cap 34 is removed, the fuel filler port 33 of the fuel tank 31 is exposed to the outside. The periphery of the fuel filler port 33 is covered by the fuel tray 36, and fuel leaking from the fuel filler port 33 is received by the fuel tray 36 around the fuel filler port 33.

[0019] The tank cap 34 (fuel filler port 33) is exposed from the opening of the fuel tray 36, and a fuel lid 41 is provided on the side of the fuel tray 36 to cover the opening of the fuel tray 36 from diagonally above and behind. The fuel lid 41 is connected to the side wall of the fuel tray 36 so as to be able to open laterally, and in this embodiment, is connected so as to be able to open to the right. Although the grab bar 27 is located above the fuel lid 41, the opening angle of the fuel lid 41 is not limited by the grab bar 27 or the like. By opening the fuel lid 41 widely, the tank cap 34 and the fuel filler port 33 can be easily seen during refueling operations.

[0020] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a fuel tank 31 is installed below the rear of the seat 15. A fuel filler pipe 32 extends from the rear of the fuel tank 31 toward a fuel tray 36, and protrudes from the bottom of the fuel tray 36. A tank cap 34 is attached to a fuel filler opening 33 at the end of the fuel filler pipe 32 inside the fuel tray 36. The fuel filler opening 33 faces diagonally upward and rearward, making it easy to insert a fuel filler nozzle into the fuel filler opening 33. The center of the fuel tray 36 is recessed into the vehicle body, and the tank cap 34 attached to the fuel filler opening 33 is surrounded by the peripheral wall of the fuel tray 36.

[0021] A fuel lid 41 is attached to the right side wall of the fuel tray 36. The fuel lid 41 has a lid main body 42 that corresponds to a recess in the fuel tray 36, and a lid cover 43 provided on the back surface of the lid main body 42. A lid arm 44 extends in a C-shape from the right side of the lid main body 42, and the tip of the lid arm 44 is connected to the right side wall of the fuel tray 36 via a forward-inclined connecting shaft 59. The fuel lid 41 swings left and right with the connecting shaft 59 as a fulcrum so as to assume a lying position that covers the fuel tray 36 and an upright position that opens the fuel tray 36.

[0022] When the fuel lid 41 is in a closed state, the fuel lid 41 is locked in a lying position by a locking mechanism 71 (see FIG. 6). The lid cover 43 of the fuel lid 41 covers the fuel tray 36 and the tank cap 34, improving the design. When the fuel lid 41 is in an open state, the fuel lid 41 is held in an upright position by a holding mechanism (not shown). A concave cap holder 45 is formed on the inner surface of the lid body 42, and when the fuel lid 41 is in an open state, the tank cap 34 is placed in the cap holder 45, improving the workability of the refueling operation.

[0023] 5, the fuel lid 41 opens and closes the opening of the fuel tray 36, and a protrusion 53 protrudes from the inner surface of the open end side of the lid body 42. The protrusion 53 of the fuel lid 41 is formed in a wall shape along the left side surface of the fuel tray 36 when the fuel lid 41 is in the closed state. The tip of the protrusion 53 is formed with a flat surface 54 that faces the bottom surface of the fuel tray 36 when the fuel lid 41 is in the closed state, and an inclined surface 55 that is inclined with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the fuel tray 36 when the fuel lid 41 is in the closed state. A lock hole 56 is formed in the protrusion 53 on the base end side of the inclined surface 55.

[0024] At the left side of the fuel tray 36, a push pin 68 protrudes from the bottom surface of the fuel tray 36 in a sinkable manner, and a lock pin 72 protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the fuel tray 36 in a sinkable manner. The push pin 68 is installed at a position where it can contact the flat surface 54 of the protruding portion 53, and the lock pin 72 is installed at a position where it can contact the inclined surface 55 of the protruding portion 53. The push pin 68 hits the flat surface 54 of the protruding portion 53 and sinks, and the lock pin 72 hits the inclined surface 55 of the protruding portion 53 and sinks, so that even if the push pin 68 and the lock pin 72 protrude into the fuel tray 36, they do not prevent the protruding portion 53 from entering.

[0025] 6, when the fuel lid 41 is locked in the closed state, the push pin 68 abuts against the flat surface 54 of the protrusion 53 from below, and the lock pin 72 enters the lock hole 56 of the protrusion 53 from the side. The lower part of the push pin 68 enters a storage space 69 on the back side of the fuel tray 36, and the push pin 68 is pressed against the protrusion 53 by a resilience spring (not shown) in the storage space 69. The base end of the lock pin 72 enters a lock mechanism 71 provided on the left side surface of the fuel tray 36, and the lock pin 72 is pressed into the lock hole 56 of the protrusion 53 by a torsion spring (not shown) in the lock mechanism 71.

[0026] When the fuel lid 41 is in a closed state, a repulsive force is applied to the fuel lid 41 by the push pin 68, and the fuel lid 41 is locked against the repulsive force by the lock pin 72. A key cylinder or the like is connected to the lock mechanism 71 via a cable 74, and the lock of the fuel lid 41 can be released by operating the cable. As will be described in detail later, when the fuel lid 41 is released, the fuel lid 41 is pushed up in two stages by the push pin 68 and the lock pin 72, ensuring a sufficient opening degree of the fuel lid 41.

[0027] In this case, the lock pin 72 is positioned above the maximum protruding length of the push pin 68. The push pin 68 protrudes to its maximum protruding length, and the fuel lid 41 is handed over from the push pin 68 to the lock pin 72. The inclined surface 55 of the protruding portion 53 is inclined toward the tip so as to move away from the inner peripheral surface (lock mechanism 71) of the fuel tray 36, and the pushing force of the lock pin 72 is converted by the inclined surface 55 into a pushing-up force against the fuel lid 41. The push pin 68 pushes the fuel lid 41 up to the first opening degree, and the lock pin 72 pushes the fuel lid 41 up from the first opening degree to the second opening degree.

[0028] In this way, the fuel lid 41 is pushed up by the push pin 68 that abuts against the flat surface 54 of the protruding portion 53 from below, and the lock pin 72 that abuts against the inclined surface 55 of the protruding portion 53 from the side. Because the push pin 68 and the lock pin 72 are separately installed on the bottom surface and the inner peripheral surface of the fuel tray 36, the push pin 68 and the lock pin 72 can be made small, and the fuel lid 41 can be efficiently half-opened. The push pin 68 and the lock pin 72 are gathered on the left side of the fuel tray 36 and installed compactly. In addition, the fuel lid 41 is opened using the lock pin 72 of the lock mechanism 71, thereby reducing the number of parts.

[0029] The locking and unlocking operations of the fuel lid will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 7 is an operational transition diagram of the locking operation of the fuel lid in this embodiment. Fig. 8 is an operational transition diagram of the unlocking operation of the fuel lid in this embodiment.

[0030] 7(A), when the fuel lid 41 is in the half-open state, the lock pin 72 protrudes into the fuel tray 36, and the lock pin 72 supports the protruding portion 53 of the fuel lid 41 from below. At this time, the lock pin 72 is positioned higher than the maximum protruding length of the push pin 68, and the protruding portion 53 of the fuel lid 41 is spaced upward from the push pin 68. When the fuel lid 41 is pushed down from this half-open state, the inclined surface 55 of the protruding portion 53 pushes the lock pin 72 in the retracting direction from the protruding position, while the flat surface 54 of the protruding portion 53 is brought closer to the tip of the push pin 68.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 7(B), while the lock pin 72 is being pushed into the inclined surface 55 of the protrusion 53, the flat surface 54 of the protrusion 53 comes into contact with the push pin 68, and the push pin 68 is pushed downward by the flat surface 54 of the protrusion 53. Then, as shown in Fig. 7(C), when the fuel lid 41 is further pushed down against the repulsive force of the push pin 68, the lock pin 72 comes off the inclined surface 55 of the protrusion 53 and returns to the protruding position and enters the lock hole 56 of the protrusion 53. As a result, the fuel lid 41 is locked in the closed state by the lock pin 72 against the repulsive force of the push pin 68.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 8(A), when the fuel lid 41 is in the closed state, the push pin 68 is pressed against the flat surface 54 of the protrusion 53, and the lock pin 72 enters the lock hole 56 of the protrusion 53 to latch the fuel lid 41. As shown in Fig. 8(B), when an unlocking operation for the fuel lid 41 is performed, the lock pin 72 retreats from the protruding position where the fuel lid 41 is latched, and the locked state of the fuel lid 41 is released. The repulsive force of the push pin 68 pushes the fuel lid 41 up from the closed state to the first opening degree, and the inclined surface 55 of the protrusion 53 is aligned with the height of the lock pin 72.

[0033] 8(C), after the push pin 68 has pushed the fuel lid 41 up to the first opening degree, the lock pin 72 returns to the protruding position and the tip of the lock pin 72 abuts against the inclined surface 55 of the protruding portion 53. The inclined surface 55 of the protruding portion 53 converts the pushing force of the lock pin 72 into a pushing-up force, and the lock pin 72 pushes the fuel lid 41 up to the second opening degree. In this way, the fuel lid 41 is pushed up in two stages in conjunction with the release of the lock of the fuel lid 41. Also, because the push pin 68 only needs to be pushed up to the height of the lock pin 72, the stroke of the push pin 68 can be shortened.

[0034] As described above, according to the lid structure for the saddle riding type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, when the fuel lid 41 is unlocked, the push pin 68 pushes the fuel lid 41 up to the first opening degree. Then, the lock pin 72 pushes the fuel lid 41 up from the first opening degree to the second opening degree, and the fuel lid 41 is supported by the lock pin 72 in a half-open state. Regardless of the opening direction of the fuel lid 41, the opening degree of the fuel lid 41 is sufficiently secured, making it easy to hook a finger on it. A recess or the like for hooking a finger on the fuel lid 41 is no longer necessary, improving the freedom of design. In addition, the fuel lid 41 will not be locked again due to its own weight or the like.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fuel lid is configured to open laterally with the forward inclined connecting shaft as a fulcrum, but the opening and closing direction of the fuel lid is not particularly limited. For example, the fuel lid may be opened vertically.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, the fuel filler opening is provided behind the seat, but the location of the fuel filler opening is not particularly limited. For example, the fuel filler opening may be provided in front of the seat or on the side of the vehicle body.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the lock pin is operated by operating the cable, but the operator for operating the lock pin is not particularly limited. For example, the operator may be provided on the lock mechanism.

[0038] Further, in this embodiment, the lock pin is returned to the protruding position by the repulsive force of the torsion spring, but the lock pin may be returned to the protruding position by the return operation of the operating element.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, a push pin is exemplified as the first operating part, and a lock pin is exemplified as the second operating part, but the first and second operating parts are not particularly limited as long as they are configured to be able to push up the fuel lid in the opening direction in two stages. In particular, the lock pin functions as the second operating part, but a second operating part may be provided separately from the lock pin.

[0040] In this embodiment, the push pin as the first operating part abuts against the tip of the protruding part from below, and the lock pin as the second operating part abuts against the tip of the protruding part from the side, but the contact direction of the first and second operating parts with the tip of the protruding part is not limited. For example, both the first and second operating parts may abut against the tip of the protruding part from below, or both the first and second operating parts may abut against the tip of the protruding part from the side.

[0041] In this embodiment, a slope is formed at the tip of the protrusion, but a slope may also be formed at the tip of the lock pin. In this case, the slope of the lock pin is inclined so as to approach the bottom surface of the fuel tray toward the tip. In this way, it is sufficient that a slope that converts the pushing force of the lock pin into a pushing force against the fuel lid is formed at either the tip of the protrusion or the tip of the lock pin.

[0042] In addition, in this embodiment, a configuration in which a fuel tank is accommodated in the rear of the saddle riding type vehicle has been described, but a battery may be installed in the rear of the saddle riding type vehicle. In this case, a battery is installed in the accommodation space in the rear of the vehicle, and a battery cable extends from the rear of the battery toward the tray. A charging port at the end of the battery cable protrudes from the bottom surface of the tray, and a waterproof cap is removably attached to the charging port. Even in a configuration in which a battery is installed instead of a fuel tank, the lid can be half-opened to a large opening angle.

[0043] Further, in this embodiment, a tank in which fuel oil is supplied is exemplified as the fuel tank, but the fuel tank may be a tank in which other fuels such as hydrogen are filled.

[0044] The lid structure of the saddle-ride type vehicle of this embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned saddle-ride type vehicle, and may be adopted in other vehicles such as four-wheeled automobiles, etc. The saddle-ride type vehicle is not limited to all vehicles in which the driver rides in a straddling position on the seat, but also includes scooter-type vehicles in which the driver does not straddle the seat.

[0045] As described above, the first aspect is a lid structure for a saddle-type vehicle (1) housing a fuel tank (31) or a battery, and includes a tray (fuel tray 36) that covers the periphery of the fuel tank's filler port (33) or the battery's charging port, a lid (fuel lid 41) that opens and closes the opening of the tray that exposes the filler port or the charging port, and a first operating part (push pin 68) and a second operating part (lock pin 72) that push up the lid in two stages in the opening direction, and when the lid is released from the locked state, the first operating part pushes up the lid to a first opening degree, and then the second operating part pushes up the lid from the first opening degree to the second opening degree. According to this configuration, when the lid is released from the locked state, the first operating part pushes up the lid to the first opening degree, and the second operating part pushes up the lid from the first opening degree to the second opening degree, and the lid is supported by the second operating part in a half-open state. Regardless of the direction in which the lid is opened, the lid can be opened sufficiently to make it easy to hook a finger on it. There is no need for a recess or the like for hooking a finger on the lid, which increases the freedom of design. In addition, the lid will not lock again due to its own weight, etc.

[0046] In the second embodiment, a protrusion (53) protrudes from the inner surface of the lid in the first embodiment, and the first operating part abuts against the tip of the protrusion from below, and the second operating part abuts against the tip of the protrusion from the side. With this configuration, the first and second operating parts are separately installed on the bottom surface and the inner peripheral surface of the tray, so that the first and second operating parts can be made small and the lid can be opened efficiently.

[0047] In the third aspect, in the first or second aspect, a slope (55) is formed on either the tip of the protrusion or the tip of the second operating part, which converts the pushing force of the second operating part into a pushing-up force against the lid. With this simple configuration, it is possible to convert the lateral pushing force of the second operating part into a vertical pushing-up force to push up the lid.

[0048] In a fourth aspect, in the second or third aspect, the first operating part is a push pin that applies a repulsive force to the lid when the lid is in a closed state, and the second operating part is a lock pin that locks the lid against the repulsive force when the lid is in a closed state. With this configuration, the number of parts can be reduced by using the lock pin to open the lid.

[0049] In the fifth aspect, the lock pin of the fourth aspect is retracted from the protruding position where it latches the lid, the locked state of the lid is released, the push pin pushes the lid up to a first opening degree, and then the lock pin returns to the protruding position, and the lock pin pushes the lid up to a second opening degree. With this configuration, the lid can be pushed up in two stages by the push pin and the lock pin in conjunction with the release of the lid lock. Also, since the push pin only needs to be pushed up to the height of the lock pin, the stroke of the push pin can be shortened.

[0050] In a sixth aspect, in the fourth or fifth aspect, the push pin protrudes from the bottom surface of the tray so as to be able to sink, and the lock pin protrudes from the inner peripheral surface of the tray so as to be able to sink. With this configuration, the push pin and the lock pin are able to sink, so even if the push pin and the lock pin protrude, they do not prevent the protruding portion of the fuel lid from entering.

[0051] Although the present embodiment has been described, other embodiments may be made by combining the above-described embodiments and modifications in whole or in part.

[0052] In addition, the technology of the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and may be modified, substituted, or altered in various ways without departing from the spirit of the technical idea. Furthermore, if the technical idea can be realized in a different way due to the progress of technology or a different technology derived therefrom, the invention may be implemented using that method. Therefore, the claims cover all embodiments that may be included within the scope of the technical idea. [Explanation of symbols]
