[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-202278 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, fuel may adhere to the inside of the tank cap, and may accumulate in the cap holder of the fuel lid. When the fuel lid is closed, fuel may flow down from the cap holder and adhere to surrounding parts. The fuel tray around the filler opening and the inner surface of the fuel lid on which the tank cap is placed are designed to be oil-resistant, but the surrounding parts of the fuel lid, such as the cover that covers the vehicle body and, depending on the vehicle type, lighting devices, may not be designed to be oil-resistant.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned points, and has an object to provide a lid structure that can prevent fuel accumulated in the cap storage area from adhering to surrounding parts. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One embodiment of the lid structure of the present invention is a lid structure for a saddle-type vehicle equipped with a fuel tank, and comprises a fuel tray that receives fuel around the filler opening of the fuel tank, a tank cap attached to the filler opening inside the fuel tray, and a fuel lid that covers an opening that exposes the inside of the fuel tray, and the inner surface of the fuel lid is formed with a concave cap placement area on which the tank cap is placed, and a guide surface extending from the cap placement area to the fuel tray, and when the fuel lid is tilted from the open state in the closing direction, the guide surface is positioned below the cap placement area, and the guide surface forms a passage for fuel from the cap placement area to the fuel tray, 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 fuel lid is closed, the fuel is guided from the cap holder to the fuel tray along the guide surface. The adhesion of fuel to the peripheral components of the fuel lid is suppressed, and there is no need to improve the oil resistance of the peripheral components. Since the fuel is less likely to adhere to the exterior components, the effort of wiping off the fuel from the exterior components is eliminated, improving convenience.

[0009] A fuel tank according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed in a saddle-type vehicle. In a lid structure for a saddle-type vehicle, fuel is received in a fuel tray around a filler opening of the fuel tank. A tank cap is attached to the filler opening inside the fuel tray, and an opening exposing the inside of the fuel tray is covered by the fuel lid. A concave cap placement area on which the tank cap is placed is formed on the inner surface of the fuel lid, and a guide surface extends from the cap placement area to the fuel tray. When the fuel lid is tilted from an open state to a closed state, the guide surface is located below the cap placement area, and the guide surface forms a passage for fuel from the cap placement area to the fuel tray, and the fuel is guided from the cap placement area to the fuel tray along the guide surface. Adhesion of fuel to peripheral components of the fuel lid is suppressed, and there is no need to increase the oil resistance of the peripheral components. Since fuel is less likely to adhere to exterior components, the effort of wiping off fuel from the exterior components is eliminated, improving convenience. 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 work 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] Generally, in a structure in which a cap holder is formed on the inner surface of a fuel lid, when a tank cap is placed in the cap holder, fuel adhering to the inside of the tank cap may accumulate in the cap holder. In addition, the fuel filler opening on the inner side of the fuel lid is surrounded by a fuel tray, and fuel spilling from the fuel filler opening is received by the fuel tray. Parts to which fuel adheres, such as the fuel lid cap holder and fuel tray, are made of a material having a relatively high oil resistance, such as PP (Polypropylene) resin.

[0015] Exterior parts such as the side covers are made of a material with relatively low oil resistance, such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin. The oil resistance of ABS resin can be improved by painting, but the back surface of the exterior parts that are not exposed to the outside may not be painted. In addition, PC (Polycarbonate) resin used for the lens of the lamp also does not have high oil resistance. When the fuel lid is closed, there is a risk that the fuel accumulated in the cap holder will adhere to the back surface of the side covers or the lens of the lamp. Therefore, the fuel lid 41 of this embodiment is formed to guide the fuel accumulated in the cap holder to the fuel tray.

[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 perspective view of the lid structure of a saddle-type vehicle of this embodiment as viewed from the rear.

[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 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 (not shown). 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] A hook portion 46 for hooking the tank cap 34 is formed on the inner surface of the lid body 42. When the fuel lid 41 is in the open state, the hook portion 46 runs along the lower edge of the cap storage area 45, and the hook portion 46 widens the inner peripheral surface of the lower side of the cap storage area 45 in the cap height direction. The tip of the hook portion 46 is bent toward the center of the cap storage area 45, and the tank cap 34 placed on the cap storage area 45 is hooked by the tip of the hook portion 46. Even if the fuel lid 41 moves from the open state during refueling, the hook portion 46 prevents the tank cap 34 from falling off the cap storage area 45.

[0024] In addition, a linear knob 35 is provided on the surface of the tank cap 34. The knob 35 protrudes from the surface of the tank cap 34, and by gripping the knob 35, the tank cap 34 can be easily attached to the fuel filler opening 33. When the tank cap 34 is placed in the cap holder 45, the tip side of the hook portion 46 of the lid body 42 is cut out so as to avoid the knob 35 of the tank cap 34. The width of the knob 35 is formed smaller than the width of the notch 47 of the hook portion 46, and the knob 35 fits into the notch 47 of the hook portion 46, so that the tank cap 34 is hooked in a positioned state by the hook portion 46.

[0025] When the fuel lid 41 is in a closed state, the fuel filler opening 33 with the tank cap 34 attached fits into the concave cap holder 45, and is formed so that the tank cap 34 and the lid body 42 do not interfere with each other. When the tank cap 34 is held in the cap holder 45, the tank cap 34 interferes with the fuel filler opening 33 and the fuel lid 41 cannot be closed. When the tank cap 34 is held in the cap holder 45, i.e., when the tank cap 34 is not attached to the fuel filler opening 33, the fuel lid 41 does not close completely, thereby preventing the tank cap 34 from being left attached to the fuel filler opening 33.

[0026] A plurality of reinforcing ribs 48 extending from the cap holder 45 toward the fuel tray 36 are formed on the inner surface of the lid arm 44. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 48 increase the rigidity of the lid arm 44, making it difficult to pry open the fuel lid 41 and improving the effect of preventing fuel theft. In addition, at the rear of the saddle-type vehicle 1, the fuel tray 36 around the fuel filler opening 33, the lid main body 42 from which fuel drips from the tank cap 34, the lid arm 44, etc. are made of PP resin, which has relatively high oil resistance. On the other hand, the lid cover 43 and side cover 14, which are exterior parts, are made of ABS resin, which has relatively low oil resistance.

[0027] As shown in Fig. 5, the cap placement area 45 of the fuel lid 41 is formed in a concave shape, so that even if fuel adheres to the inside of the tank cap 34, the cap placement area 45 can collect the fuel when the fuel lid 41 is in the open state. A hook portion 46 connected to the lower edge of the cap placement area 45 can also collect the fuel, and the amount of fuel that can be collected is increased by the cap placement area 45 and the hook portion 46. Of the multiple reinforcing ribs 48 of the lid arm 44, the lowest reinforcing rib 48 forms a guide surface 49 that extends from the cap placement area 45 to the fuel tray 36. A through hole 51 is formed in the cap placement area 45 and the hook portion 46 toward the guide surface 49.

[0028] Although details will be described later, when the fuel lid 41 is closed, the fuel collected in the cap holder 45 is guided along the guide surface 49 to the fuel tray 36. The fuel tray 36 is recessed below the tank cap 34 (fuel filler opening 33), and a mounting hole 37 for a drain hose (not shown) is formed in the recess of the fuel tray 36. The fuel received by the fuel tray 36 collects in the recess and is discharged to the outside through the mounting hole 37 and the drain hose. By guiding the fuel from the fuel lid 41 to the fuel tray 36, adhesion of the fuel to the lid cover 43 and the side cover 14, which have relatively low oil resistance, is suppressed.

[0029] The fuel passage from the cap holder to the fuel tray will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the lid structure of the saddle-type vehicle of this embodiment. Fig. 6(A) shows the fuel lid in a fully open state, and Fig. 6(B) shows the fuel lid in a 20 degree closed state from the fully open state.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 6(A), when the fuel lid 41 is fully opened, the fuel lid 41 is held in an upright position. The fuel lid 41 is tilted slightly to the right (approximately 20 degrees) from the vertical, and the concave cap holder 45 of the fuel lid 41 is also tilted slightly. By tilting the inner peripheral surface of the cap holder 45, a fuel reservoir 52 is formed by the inner peripheral surface and bottom surface of the cap holder 45. Fuel dripping from the inside of the tank cap 34 is received in the reservoir 52 of the cap holder 45. In this way, a fuel reservoir is formed in the cap holder 45 when the fuel lid 41 is in the open state.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 6(B), when the fuel lid 41 is closed by 20 degrees or more from the fully open state, the opening edge side of the cap placement place 45 lowers and the fuel starts to flow from the liquid reservoir 52 to the guide surface 49 (see Fig. 5) of the reinforcing rib 48. The guide surface 49 is located below the cap placement place 45, and the fuel moves along the guide surface 49 and flows down from the guide surface 49 into the fuel tray 36. The fuel in the fuel tray 36 is discharged to the outside through the drain hose mounting hole 37 (see Fig. 5). In this way, when the fuel lid 41 is tilted in the closing direction from the open state, the guide surface 49 forms a passage for the fuel from the cap placement place 45 to the fuel tray 36.

[0032] As described above, according to the lid structure of the saddle riding type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, when the fuel lid 41 is in an open state, fuel adhering to the inside of the tank cap 34 is collected in the cap storage area 45. When the fuel lid 41 is closed, the fuel collected in the cap storage area 45 is guided along the guide surface 49 to the fuel tray 36. Adhesion of fuel to the side cover 14 and the like around the fuel lid 41 is suppressed, and there is no need to improve the oil resistance of the side cover 14 and the like. Because fuel is less likely to adhere to the side cover 14 and the like, the effort of wiping off fuel from the side cover 14 and the like is eliminated, improving convenience.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fuel lid is configured to open sideways with the forward tilted connecting shaft as a fulcrum, but the opening and closing direction of the fuel lid is not particularly limited as long as the fuel is stored in the open state of the fuel lid and the fuel flows into the fuel tray when the fuel lid is tilted. For example, the fuel lid may be opened vertically.

[0034] In addition, in this embodiment, a cap placement area is formed on the inner surface of the lid body and a guide surface is formed on the reinforcing rib on the inner surface of the lid arm, but the cap placement area and guide surface may be formed on the inner surface of the fuel lid.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lid body and the lid cover are formed as separate bodies, but the lid body and the lid cover may be formed integrally.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide surface is formed by the reinforcing rib of the lid arm, but the guide surface may be any surface that serves as a passage for fuel from the cap placement area to the fuel tray. For example, the guide surface may be formed by a groove extending from the cap placement area toward the fuel tray.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the lid body, lid arms, and fuel tray are formed from PP resin, but the materials are not particularly limited as long as the lid body, lid arms, and fuel tray are formed from a material that is relatively oil-resistant.

[0038] 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.

[0039] As described above, the first embodiment is a lid structure for a saddle-type vehicle (1) equipped with a fuel tank (31), and includes a fuel tray (36) that receives fuel around a filler opening (33) of the fuel tank, a tank cap (34) attached to the filler opening inside the fuel tray, and a fuel lid (41) that covers an opening that exposes the inside of the fuel tray. The inner surface of the fuel lid is formed with a concave cap placement area (45) on which the tank cap is placed and a guide surface (49) that extends from the cap placement area to the fuel tray. When the fuel lid is tilted from an open state to a closed state, the guide surface is located below the cap placement area, and the guide surface forms a passage for fuel from the cap placement area to the fuel tray. According to this configuration, when the fuel lid is closed, fuel is guided from the cap placement area along the guide surface to the fuel tray. The adhesion of fuel to peripheral components of the fuel lid is suppressed, and there is no need to increase the oil resistance of the peripheral components. Since fuel is less likely to adhere to the exterior parts, the effort of wiping off fuel from the exterior parts is eliminated, improving convenience.

[0040] In the second embodiment, the guide surface in the first embodiment is formed by a reinforcing rib (48). With this configuration, the reinforcing rib increases the rigidity of the fuel lid. This makes it difficult to pry the fuel lid open, thereby improving the effect of preventing fuel theft.

[0041] In a third aspect, in the first or second aspect, the cap holder can store fuel when the fuel lid is in an open state, and when the fuel lid is tilted from the open state to the closing direction, a fuel passage is formed from the cap holder to the fuel tray by the guide surface. With this configuration, when the fuel lid is in an open state, fuel adhering to the inside of the tank cap can be stored in the cap holder.

[0042] A fourth aspect is any one of the first to third aspects, in which a hook portion (46) for hooking the tank cap is formed on the inner surface of the fuel lid, and the cap holder and the hook portion can store liquid when the fuel lid is in the open state. With this configuration, even if the fuel lid moves from the open state during refueling, the tank cap is prevented from falling off from the cap holder. In addition, the cap holder and the hook portion can increase the amount of stored fuel liquid.

[0043] In the fifth aspect, in the fourth aspect, the fuel filler opening with the tank cap attached is formed to fit into a concave cap storage area when the fuel lid is closed. With this configuration, when the tank cap is held in the cap storage area, the tank cap interferes with the fuel filler opening and the fuel lid cannot be closed. This prevents the tank cap from being left on the fuel filler opening.

[0044] In the sixth aspect, in the fourth or fifth aspect, a knob (35) is provided on the tank cap, and the hook portion is cut out to avoid the knob. With this configuration, the knob fits into the notch of the hook portion, and the tank cap is hooked in a positioned state by the hook portion.

[0045] A seventh aspect is any one of the first to sixth aspects, in which the fuel lid is provided with a lid body (42) corresponding to a recess in the fuel tray and a lid arm (44) extending from the lid body, a concave cap placement area on which a tank cap is placed is formed on the inner surface of the lid body, and a guide surface extending from the cap placement area to the fuel tray is formed on the inner surface of the lid arm. With this configuration, fuel can be guided from the cap placement area to the fuel tray along the inner surface of the lid arm.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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]
