[0009] A saddle-type vehicle according to one aspect of the present invention runs on power from a battery that is detachably held in a battery holder. The driver's legs are placed on the low floor board of the saddle-type vehicle, and the rear part of the floor board is covered from above by a seat. The space between the floor board and the seat is open to the surroundings, and a battery holder is installed in this space. The battery can be attached and detached from the battery holder from the surroundings, and the battery can be easily attached and detached from the battery holder without opening and closing the seat or lifting the heavy battery high. EXAMPLES

[0010] The saddle riding type vehicle of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a left side view of the saddle riding type vehicle of this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a right side view of the saddle riding type vehicle of this embodiment. Note that the following figures show a state in which a body cover is removed from the saddle riding type vehicle. Also, in the following figures, 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] 1 and 2, a low floorboard 45 is installed on the body frame 10 of the saddle-type vehicle 1 in front of the seat 41. A head pipe 11 is provided at the front end of the body frame 10, and a front frame 12 extends diagonally rearward and downward from the head pipe 11. A pair of left and right lower frames 13 are connected to the lower part of the front frame 12, and the pair of lower frames 13 extend rearward below the floorboard 45. A pair of side frames 14 rise from rear portions of the pair of lower frames 13 toward the seat 41, and upper portions of the pair of side frames 14 are bent rearward to form a seat frame 15.

[0012] A front fork 31 is steerably supported on the head pipe 11 via a steering shaft (not shown). A handle 32 is provided on the upper part of the steering shaft, and a front wheel 33 is rotatably supported on the lower part of the front fork 31. A pair of U-shaped rear frames 16 extend rearward from the pair of side frames 14, and a rear wheel 34 is rotatably supported on a pair of rear brackets 18 at the rear ends of the pair of rear frames 16. A rear fender 35 is attached to the upper parts of the rear brackets 18 and the rear frames 16, and the rear wheel 34 is covered from above by the rear fender 35.

[0013] A seat 41 is supported on the pair of seat frames 15, and a storage box 29 is installed below the seat frames 15. The storage box 29 is located inside the pair of side frames 14, and an upper access opening of the storage box 29 is covered from above by the seat 41. A floor board 45 is installed on the pair of lower frames 13, and the legs of a driver seated in the seat 41 are placed on the tread surface of the floor board 45. A battery 53 is installed via a battery holder 50 on the upper rear surface of the floor board 45, and a motor 60 is installed on the lower rear side of the floor board 45.

[0014] Although details will be described later, in the saddle riding type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, a main holder 51 and a sub-holder 52 are provided as the battery holder 50. A main battery 54 that supplies power to the motor 60 is detachably held in the main holder 51, and a sub-battery 55 that supplies backup power to the motor 60 is detachably held in the sub-holder 52. In the following, when there is no need to distinguish between the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52, they will be collectively referred to as the battery holder 50, and when there is no need to distinguish between the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55, they will be collectively referred to as the battery 53.

[0015] A drive sprocket 36 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 60, and a driven sprocket 37 is provided on the axle of the rear wheel 34. The drive sprocket 36 of the motor 60 and the driven sprocket 37 of the rear wheel 34 are connected via a chain 38. Electricity is supplied to the motor 60 from a battery 53, and the motor 60 drives the rear wheel 34 via the drive sprocket 36, the chain 38, and the driven sprocket 37. A side stand 39 is provided on the left lower frame 13, and by raising the side stand 39, the vehicle body can stand on its own while tilted to the left (one side in the vehicle width direction).

[0016] In an electric straddle-type vehicle 1, depending on the battery layout, it may be difficult to attach and detach the battery 53. In a typical straddle-type vehicle, the battery is installed in a storage box under the seat, but it is not easy to lift the battery, which is a heavy object, from the storage box. When installing the battery, it is difficult to attach the battery to the battery holder on the bottom of the storage box. In addition, the seat must be opened and closed every time the battery is attached or detached. Therefore, in this embodiment, the external space between the seat 41 and the floor board 45 is utilized to make it possible to attach the battery 53 to the battery holder 50 in the external space from the surroundings, improving ease of attachment and detachment.

[0017] The rear structure of the saddle riding type vehicle will be described below with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3 is a right side view of the rear part of the vehicle body of this embodiment. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the saddle riding type vehicle of Fig. 2 taken along line AA.

[0018] 3, a seat 41 is supported on the pair of seat frames 15, and the seat 41 protrudes forward beyond the front surface of the storage box 29. In a side view, the front surface of the storage box 29 is formed parallel to the pair of side frames 14, and the storage box 29 is installed inside the body cover 26 that covers the pair of side frames 14. Inside the body cover 26, a lower portion of the storage box 29 is supported by a frame bridge 21 that connects the lower portions of the pair of side frames 14, and an upper portion of the storage box 29 is supported by a frame bridge 22 that connects the rear sides of the pair of seat frames 15.

[0019] A pair of side frames 14 rise from the rear of the floorboard 45 toward the seat 41, and the seat 41 protrudes forward beyond the pair of side frames 14. The front half of the seat 41 faces the floorboard 45, and the rear half of the floorboard 45 is covered from above by the front half of the seat 41. The pair of side frames 14 and the storage box 29 are located inside the body cover 26, and the outside of the body cover 26 is an external space sandwiched between the floorboard 45 and the seat 41 from above and below. The external space between the floorboard 45 and the seat 41 is open to the surroundings except for the rear.

[0020] A main holder 51 (see FIG. 4) and a sub-holder 52 are installed in the external space between the floor board 45 and the seat 41. A main battery 54 is held in the main holder 51, and a sub-battery 55 is held in the sub-holder 52. The pair of side frames 14 are positioned rearward of the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 so that the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 do not overlap with the side frames 14 in a side view. By exposing the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 to the outside from the body cover 26, the attachment and detachment of the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 is improved.

[0021] The main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52 are positioned between the front end of the seat 41 and the side frame 14. When the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 are held in the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52, the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 are also positioned rearward of the front end of the seat 41. In this manner, the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 are installed by utilizing the space behind the driver's legs. When the driver lowers his / her legs directly below, the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 do not interfere with the driver's legs, and a sufficient tread surface for the legs to rest on is secured on the floor board 45 in front of the seat 41.

[0022] The main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 are held by the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52 so as to be aligned with the side frame 14, and the inclination of the rear surfaces of the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 is approximately parallel to the inclination of the side frame 14. Also, the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 are inclined forward so that their upper ends are further forward than their lower ends. By bringing the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 closer to the side frame 14 and positioning the lower ends of the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 rearward, a wide tread surface of the floorboard 45 is ensured.

[0023] The main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 are installed above the floorboard 45, and a part of the motor 60 is located directly below the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55. That is, the motor 60 is installed directly below the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52, with the floorboard 45 in between. The main battery 54, the sub-battery 55, and the motor 60 are arranged vertically in a side view, so that the main battery 54, the sub-battery 55, and the motor 60 are installed compactly. By installing the motor 60 below the floorboard 45, the floorboard 45 functions as a canopy, making it difficult for rainwater to adhere to the motor 60 during rainfall.

[0024] The floorboard 45 is supported from below by a pair of lower frames 13, and the motor 60 is positioned below the lower frames 13. In addition, a base end portion 17 of the rear frame 16 is located near the boundary between the lower frame 13 and the side frames 14, and the motor 60 is positioned below the base end portion 17 of the rear frame 16. Since the motor 60, which is a heavy object, is located in a low position, the center of gravity of the vehicle body is lowered, improving driving stability. Furthermore, since the drive shaft center O1 of the motor 60 is located below the rotation shaft center O2 of the rear wheels 34 when the vehicle is stopped, the center of gravity of the vehicle body is further lowered, improving driving stability.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 4, a main holder 51 and a sub-holder 52 are installed side by side in the vehicle width direction on the floor board 45. The main holder 51 is formed in a concave shape that is open on the upper side and the left side, and the main battery 54 can be attached and detached to the main holder 51 from the left side. A pair of guide holes (not shown) are formed in the front and rear walls of the main holder 51, and a pair of guide shafts (not shown) that fit into the guide holes are formed in the lower part of the main battery 54. In addition, a holder terminal (not shown) protrudes from the bottom surface of the main holder 51, and a battery terminal (not shown) is provided in an insertion port on the bottom surface of the main battery 54.

[0026] The sub-holder 52 is formed in a concave shape that is open at the top and front, and the sub-battery 55 can be attached to and detached from the front side of the sub-holder 52. A pair of guide holes (not shown) are formed in the left and right walls of the sub-holder 52, and a pair of guide shafts (not shown) that fit into the guide holes are formed in the lower part of the sub-battery 55. In addition, a holder terminal (not shown) protrudes from the bottom surface of the sub-holder 52, and a battery terminal (not shown) is provided in an insertion port on the bottom surface of the sub-battery 55. In this way, the attachment and detachment direction of the main battery 54 to the main holder 51 and the attachment and detachment direction of the sub-battery 55 to the sub-holder 52 are different.

[0027] In this case, the main battery 54 can be attached to and detached from the main holder 51 from the side stand 39 side. The side stand 39 is provided on the left side of the vehicle body, and when the saddle-type vehicle 1 is stopped, the vehicle body is tilted to the left and stands on its own. Because the main holder 51 is tilted to the left, the main battery 54 can be smoothly attached to and detached from the main holder 51 from the left side. In addition, the sub-battery 55 can be attached to and detached from the sub-holder 52 from the front side. The sub-battery 55 is held by the sub-holder 52 in a forward-leaning position. Because the sub-holder 52 is tilted forward, the sub-battery 55 can be smoothly attached to and detached from the sub-battery 55 from the front side.

[0028] Locking mechanisms 56, 57 are provided on the right side of the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55. The locking mechanisms 56, 57 are attached to the cross plate 25 that connects the pair of side frames 14. A locking piece (not shown) is provided on each of the locking mechanisms 56, 57, and a locking hole (not shown) is provided on each of the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55. Key cylinders 58, 59 are provided on the front of the locking mechanisms 56, 57, and by rotating the key cylinders 58, 59 with a mechanical key, the locking piece fits into the locking hole, locking the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 so that they cannot be removed.

[0029] The installation and removal of the main battery and the sub-battery will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram of the installation and removal of the main battery in this embodiment. Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram of the installation and removal of the sub-battery in this embodiment.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 5, the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52 are installed side by side in the external space between the seat 41 and the floor board 45. The main holder 51 is installed on the left side, which is the side of the side stand 39, and the sub-holder 52 is installed on the right side, opposite the side stand 39. The locking mechanisms 56, 57 are provided on the upper right of the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52, respectively, and are positioned on the side opposite the side stand 39. When the saddle-type vehicle 1 is stopped, the body is tilted to the left side, which is the side of the side stand 39, and the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52 are also tilted to the left.

[0031] When the main battery 54 is attached, the main battery 54 is brought close to the main holder 51 from the left side, and placed on the main holder 51 with the main battery 54 tilted to the left. The guide shaft of the main battery 54 is fitted into the guide hole of the main holder 51, and the main battery 54 is aligned with the main holder 51. The main battery 54 is raised from its inclined position, and the holder terminal of the main holder 51 is inserted into the insertion port of the main battery 54. When the main battery 54 is attached, the main battery 54 comes into contact with the lock mechanism 56 and is locked by the mechanical key.

[0032] When removing the main battery 54, the lock mechanism 56 for the main battery 54 is released by the mechanical key. The main battery 54 is tilted to the left from the main holder 51, and the holder terminal of the main holder 51 comes out of the insertion opening of the main battery 54. The main battery 54 is pulled out diagonally upward and to the left from the main holder 51, and the guide shaft of the main battery 54 comes out of the guide hole of the main holder 51. It is only necessary to lift the main battery 54 by the height of the main holder 51, and there is no need to lift the main holder 51 high, so the workload is reduced.

[0033] At this time, the amount by which the main battery 54 is raised or tilted during attachment / detachment is suppressed by the amount by which the main holder 51 is tilted to the left together with the vehicle body. Specifically, the inclination angle θ2 of the main battery 54 relative to the reference line L2 indicating the axial direction of the main holder 51 is smaller than the inclination angle θ1 of the main battery 54 relative to the reference line L1 indicating the vertical direction. The amount by which the main battery 54 is raised or tilted is suppressed by the difference between the inclination angles θ1 and θ2. In addition, since the main battery 54 is tilted to the left when the main battery 54 is removed, it is easy to tilt the main battery 54, which is a heavy object, by utilizing its own weight.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 6, when the sub-battery 55 is attached, the sub-battery 55 is brought close to the sub-holder 52 from the front side, and the sub-battery 55 is placed on the sub-holder 52 in a state in which it is tilted forward. The guide shafts of the sub-battery 55 are fitted into the guide holes of the sub-holder 52, and the sub-battery 55 is aligned with the sub-holder 52. The sub-battery 55 is raised from its inclined position, and the holder terminals of the sub-holder 52 are inserted into the insertion openings of the sub-battery 55. When the sub-battery 55 is attached, the sub-battery 55 comes into contact with the lock mechanism 57 and is locked by the mechanical key.

[0035] When removing the sub-battery 55, the lock mechanism 57 for the sub-battery 55 is released by the mechanical key. The sub-battery 55 is tilted forward from the sub-holder 52, and the holder terminal of the sub-holder 52 comes out of the insertion opening of the sub-battery 55. The sub-battery 55 is pulled out diagonally upward and forward from the sub-holder 52, and the guide shaft of the sub-battery 55 comes out of the guide hole of the sub-holder 52. It is only necessary to lift the sub-battery 55 by the height of the sub-holder 52, and there is no need to lift the sub-holder 52 high, so the workload is reduced. In addition, the sub-battery 55 does not interfere with the lock mechanisms 56, 57.

[0036] At this time, the amount by which the sub-holder 52 is tilted slightly forward is reduced by the amount by which the sub-battery 55 is raised or tilted during attachment / detachment. Specifically, the inclination angle θ4 of the sub-battery 55 with respect to the reference line L4 indicating the axial direction of the sub-holder 52 is smaller than the inclination angle θ3 of the sub-battery 55 with respect to the reference line L3 indicating the vertical direction. The amount by which the sub-battery 55 is raised or tilted is reduced by the difference between the inclination angles θ3 and θ4. In addition, since the sub-battery 55 is tilted forward when the sub-battery 55 is removed, it is easy to tilt the sub-battery 55, which is a heavy object, by utilizing its own weight.

[0037] Furthermore, the driver gets on and off the saddle riding type vehicle 1 from the left side, and stands on the left side of the saddle riding type vehicle 1 to perform the installation and removal of the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55. For this reason, the main battery 54, which can be installed and removed from the main holder 51 from the left side, is easier to install and remove than the sub-battery 55, which can be installed and removed from the sub-holder 52 from the front side. In this way, by installing the main holder 51 on the side of the side stand 39 and installing the sub-holder 52 on the opposite side from the side stand 39, the main battery 54, which is installed and removed more frequently than the sub-battery 55, can be installed and removed smoothly from the main holder 51.

[0038] As described above, according to the saddle-type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 are attached to and detached from the surroundings of the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52 between the floor board 45 and the seat 41. Therefore, the main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 can be easily attached to and detached from the main holder 51 and the sub-holder 52 without opening or closing the seat 41 or lifting the heavy main battery 54 and the sub-battery 55 high.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main battery is attached and detached from the left side, and the sub-battery is attached and detached from the front side, but it is sufficient if the main battery and the sub-battery can be attached and detached from the main holder and the sub-holder from the surroundings. For example, as shown in Modification 1 of Fig. 7, the main battery 83 may be attached and detached from the left side to the main holder 81, and the sub-battery 84 may be attached and detached from the right side to the sub-holder 82. In this case, a single lock mechanism 85 may be provided between the main battery 83 and the sub-battery 84, and the main battery 83 and the sub-battery 84 may be locked by the single lock mechanism 85.

[0040] 8, the main battery 88 and the sub-battery 89 may be attached to and detached from the main holder 86 and the sub-holder 87 from the left side, or the main battery 88 and the sub-battery 89 may be attached to and detached from the main holder 86 and the sub-holder 87 from the right side. In this case, as shown by the dashed lines, a locking mechanism may be provided above the main battery 88 and the sub-battery 89, or on the lower lateral side of the main battery 88 and the sub-battery 89.

[0041] In this embodiment, the main battery and the sub-battery are installed in the saddle riding type vehicle, but at least one battery may be installed in the saddle riding type vehicle. For example, as shown in Modification 3 of Fig. 9, a battery holder 93 may be installed in the external space between a floor board 91 and a seat 92, and a battery 94 may be attached to and detached from the battery holder 93 from the side stand 95 side. In this case, it is only necessary that the battery 94 can be attached to and detached from the battery holder 93 from the periphery. Also, as shown by the dashed line, a lock mechanism may be installed above the battery 94 or on a lower side of the battery 94.

[0042] In addition, in this embodiment, the battery holder is installed above the floor board, but the battery holder may be installed above the rear fender. For example, as shown in Modification 4 of Fig. 10, a battery holder 98 may be installed in the external space between a rear fender 96 and a seat 97, and a battery 99 may be attached to and detached from the battery holder 98 from the rear side. In this case, it is only necessary that the battery 99 can be attached to and detached from the battery holder 98 from the periphery.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, the main holder is installed on the left side of the vehicle body and the sub holder is installed on the right side of the vehicle body, but the main holder may be installed on the right side of the vehicle body and the sub holder may be installed on the left side of the vehicle body.

[0044] The battery attachment / detachment structure of the present embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned saddle-ride type vehicle, and may be adopted in other saddle-ride type vehicles. Note that the saddle-ride type vehicle is not limited to all vehicles in which the rider sits astride the seat, but also includes scooter-type vehicles in which the rider does not sit astride the seat.

[0045] As described above, the first aspect is a saddle-type vehicle that can run on the power of a battery (94), and includes a low floorboard (91) on which the driver's legs are placed, a seat (92) that covers the rear part of the floorboard from above, and a battery holder (93) that detachably holds a battery, and the space between the floorboard and the seat is open to the surroundings, a battery holder is installed in the space, and the battery can be attached and detached from the battery holder from the surroundings. According to this configuration, the battery is attached and detached from the battery holder between the floorboard and the seat from the surroundings. Therefore, the battery can be easily attached and detached from the battery holder without opening and closing the seat or lifting a heavy battery high.

[0046] In the second aspect, in the first aspect, a side stand (95) is provided that tilts the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction to support the vehicle, and the battery can be attached to and detached from the battery holder from the side stand side. With this configuration, the battery can be smoothly attached to and detached from the battery holder when the vehicle is stopped.

[0047] The third aspect is a saddle-type vehicle that can run on the power of a main battery (54, 83, 88) and a sub-battery (55, 84, 89), and includes a low-floor board (45) on which the legs of a driver are placed, a seat (41) that covers the rear part of the floor board from above, a main holder (51, 81, 86) that detachably holds the main battery, and a sub-holder (52, 82, 87) that detachably holds the sub-battery, and the space between the floor board and the seat is open to the surroundings, the main holder and the sub-holder are installed in the space, and the main battery and the sub-battery can be attached and detached from the surroundings to the main holder and the sub-holder. According to this configuration, the main battery and the sub-battery are attached and detached from the surroundings to the main holder and the sub-holder between the floor board and the seat. Therefore, the main battery and the sub-battery can be easily attached and detached to the main holder and the sub-holder without opening and closing the seat or lifting the heavy main battery and the sub-battery high.

[0048] In the fourth aspect, in the third aspect, the direction in which the main battery is attached to and detached from the main holder is different from the direction in which the sub-battery is attached to and detached from the sub-holder.
