[0004] However, in the above-mentioned conventional motorcycles, the luggage light that illuminates the inside of the luggage box is provided outside the luggage box, which may increase the space required for mounting various devices. In the case of a luggage light that is provided outside the luggage box, there is a risk that an additional structure for, for example, waterproofing and dustproofing may be required.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a saddle-type vehicle that can reduce the need for additional mounting space and protective structures for lighting the storage container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems and achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following aspects. A saddle-type vehicle (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a storage container (10), a lighting unit (16) that illuminates the inside of the storage container, and a unit support portion (15) that protrudes from a bottom portion (12) and an inner wall portion (11) of the storage container inwardly of an upper end (10a) of the storage container and supports the lighting unit.

[0007] In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, the unit support portion may protrude from at least a first inner wall portion (11c) and a second inner wall portion (11b) that extend along a plurality of different directions among the inner wall portions of the storage container.

[0008] In the saddle-type vehicle described above, the first inner wall portion (11c) extends along the fore-and-aft direction, the second inner wall portion (11b) extends along the vehicle width direction, and the unit support portion may have side surfaces (21b, 21c) extending toward at least one of the first inner wall portion and the second inner wall portion in a direction different from a front surface (21a) of the unit support portion facing the center of the storage container.

[0009] In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, the angle formed between the side surface and at least one of a surface of the first inner wall portion and the second inner wall portion may be a right angle.

[0010] In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, the lamp unit may be disposed in an opening (20) formed in the unit support portion.

[0011] In the saddle-type vehicle described above, the lighting unit comprises a lighting body (34), an electric wire (35) connected to the lighting body, and a terminal portion (36) provided on the electric wire, and the lighting body and the terminal portion may be arranged in line from the center of the storage container in the order of the lighting body and the terminal portion.

[0012] In the saddle-type vehicle described above, the unit support portion includes a storage portion (23) in which the lighting unit is disposed, the storage portion being recessed inward from the opening end (20a) of the opening toward the unit support portion, and the storage portion may include an electric wire storage portion (24) that leads to the outside of the storage container and forms a hollow area in which a connecting electric wire (37) connected to the terminal portion and extending to the outside of the storage container is disposed, and a partition portion (25) that is provided on the opening end side of the electric wire storage portion and on the outside of the storage container of a front surface (21a) facing the center of the storage container.

[0013] In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, the housing portion may include a terminal fixing portion (28) that fixes the terminal portion.

[0014] In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, the storage container may include a protruding portion (13) that bulges inwardly from the surface of the bottom portion.

[0015] In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, the lighting unit may include a lighting body (34), and a cover portion (31, 32) that covers the opening and to which the lighting body is fixed.

[0016] In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, the cover portion may be fixed to an opening end (20a) of the opening portion, thereby being integrated so as to close the internal space of the unit support portion. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the above, by providing a unit support part inside the storage container, for example, additional mounting space for lighting is not required outside the storage container, and the need for additional protective structures such as waterproofing and dustproofing can be suppressed.

[0018] In the above case, the unit support portion protrudes from portions of the inner wall portion extending in a plurality of different directions, and is provided in a portion that is likely to become dead space, such as an inner corner of the storage container, etc. The lighting unit can be arranged while preventing a reduction in the effective usable volume inside the storage container.

[0019] In the above case, by providing the unit support part with a side surface having a normal direction different from the normal direction of the front surface, it is possible to increase the effective usable volume inside the storage container compared to, for example, a case in which the unit support part is connected to the first and second inner wall portions only at the front surface. A space into which the occupant's fingers can be easily inserted can be formed around the connection parts between the side surfaces and each inner wall portion, improving convenience when storing and retrieving items.

[0020] In the above case, the side surface of the unit support portion is connected to at least one of the inner wall portions at a right angle, thereby making it possible to further improve convenience when storing and retrieving articles.

[0021] In the above case, by placing the lighting unit in an opening on the surface of the unit support part, it is possible to prevent a reduction in the actual usable volume inside the storage container compared to, for example, a case in which the lighting unit protrudes from the surface of the unit support part.

[0022] In the above case, the lamp body, the electric wires and the terminal portion are provided as an integral unit, so that they can be removed and attached as an integral unit during maintenance work, etc., thereby improving ease of work.

[0023] In the above case, by providing a baffle member that is provided closer to the opening end than the wire housing portion, it is possible to prevent, for example, water or dust that enters the housing portion from the outside of the storage container via the wire housing portion from flowing into the inside of the storage container from the opening end. By providing the baffle member on the inner side than the front portion of the light body unit, it is possible to prevent water or dust from entering the inside of the storage container from a gap between the front portion of the light body unit and the opening end.

[0024] In the above case, by providing the terminal fixing part inside the accommodating part, it is possible to reduce the need for additional protective structures such as waterproofing and dustproofing around the terminal part and the surrounding area of ​​the terminal part, compared to when the terminal fixing part is provided, for example, outside the storage container.

[0025] In the above case, by providing a raised portion that reflects light from the lighting unit, it becomes easier to illuminate the entire area inside the storage container, reducing the need to increase the output of the lighting unit and improving energy efficiency.

[0026] In the above case, the lighting unit is provided with a lid portion to which the lighting body is fixed, so that the lighting unit can be easily removed and attached independently from inside the storage container during maintenance work, etc., thereby improving ease of work.

[0027] In the above case, by providing the lighting unit with a lid portion that is fixed integrally to the opening end of the opening, it is possible to prevent the inside of the unit support portion from being exposed, compared to, for example, a case in which no lid portion is provided.

[0029] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A saddle-ride type vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a left side view showing the configuration of a saddle-ride type vehicle 1 according to an embodiment. In the following, the directions of the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, which are mutually orthogonal in three-dimensional space, are parallel to each other. For example, the X-axis direction is parallel to the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1, the Y-axis direction is parallel to the front-rear direction of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1, and the Z-axis direction is parallel to the up-down direction of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1. The positive direction of the X-axis is the left direction of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1, the positive direction of the Y-axis is the forward direction of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1, and the positive direction of the Z-axis is the upward direction of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, a saddle-ride type vehicle 1 of the embodiment is, for example, a scooter-type motorcycle having a low, flat step floor that supports the feet of a rider. The saddle-ride type vehicle 1 includes, for example, front wheels FW which are steering wheels, rear wheels RW which are driving wheels, a power unit PU, a body cover C which covers a body frame (not shown), a front body 2, a rear body 3, and a step floor 4.

[0031] The front wheel FW is supported by a pair of left and right front forks 5, and is steered by a bar handle 6 provided on the upper part of the front body 2. The pair of front forks 5 and the bar handle 6 are steerably supported by a head pipe (not shown) of the body frame. The rear wheels RW are connected to a power unit PU that transmits power. The rear wheels RW and the power unit PU are supported on the vehicle body frame via a rear cushion 7 by a so-called unit swing system.

[0032] The front body 2 is formed at the front part of the vehicle frame. The rear body 3 is formed from the center part to the rear part of the vehicle frame. The step floor 4 is formed between the front body 2 and the rear body 3. The saddle-type vehicle 1 is equipped with, for example, a side stand 8a and a center stand 8b. The side stand 8a is provided on the lower left side of the step floor 4 and supports the vehicle body in an upright position with the body tilted to the left. The center stand 8b is provided below the power unit PU and supports the vehicle body in an upright position.

[0033] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the storage container 10 in the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 of the embodiment, cut along a YZ plane perpendicular to the left-right direction (X-axis direction). As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a saddle-type vehicle 1 includes, for example, a seat 9 arranged on an upper portion of a rear body 3, and a storage container 10 provided inside the rear body 3 and forming a storage space S together with the seat 9. The seat 9 includes, for example, a cushion portion 19a and a seat bottom portion 19b. The cushion portion 19a is disposed on the outer surface (front surface) of the seat bottom portion 19b. The inner surface (back surface) of the seat bottom portion 19b is formed, for example, into a concave curved shape. The seat bottom portion 19b is, for example, a lid body supported on an opening end (upper end) 10a of an opening formed in the upper portion of the storage container 10, and opens and closes the opening at the upper end 10a of the storage container 10.

[0034] Fig. 3 is a diagram of the storage container 10 of the saddle type vehicle 1 of the embodiment as viewed from above along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the storage container 10 of the saddle type vehicle 1 of the embodiment, with a part cut away, as viewed from the upper front side toward the lower rear side. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the outer shape of the storage container 10 is, for example, a box shape that opens upward. The storage container 10 includes, for example, an inner wall portion 11, a bottom portion 12, a raised portion 13, a seat support portion 14, a unit support portion 15, and a lighting unit 16.

[0035] The inner wall portion 11 includes, for example, a front inner wall portion 11a, a rear inner wall portion 11b, a right inner wall portion 11c, and a left inner wall portion 11d. The front inner wall portion 11a and the rear inner wall portion 11b each extend upward from the front end portion and the rear portion of the bottom portion 12 and extend along the X-axis direction (vehicle width direction). The surface of the front inner wall portion 11a is formed, for example, as a concave curved surface with a central portion in the X-axis direction recessed forward. The surface of the rear inner wall portion 11b is formed, for example, as a convex curved surface with a central portion in the X-axis direction bulging slightly forward.

[0036] The right inner wall portion 11c and the left inner wall portion 11d each extend, for example, upward from the right end portion and the left end portion, respectively, of the bottom portion 12 and extend along the Y-axis direction (front-rear direction). The surface of each of the right inner wall portion 11c and the left inner wall portion 11d is formed, for example, in a concave curved shape that is slightly curved between the front inner wall portion 11a and the rear inner wall portion 11b.

[0037] The bottom portion 12 extends, for example, along the X-axis direction and inclines from the upper rear side toward the lower front side. The surface of the bottom portion 12 is formed, for example, in a flat shape. The raised portion 13 bulges upward (that is, toward the inside of the storage container 10) at the center of the surface of the bottom portion 12. The surface of the raised portion 13 is formed, for example, in a convex curved shape.

[0038] The seat support part 14 is provided, for example, at the front end part of the storage container 10. The seat support part 14 includes a member such as a hinge. The seat support part 14 supports, for example, the front end part of the seat bottom part 19b so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis line along the X-axis direction. The seat support part 14 rotates the seat bottom part 19b about the rotation axis line, thereby opening and closing the opening part of the storage container 10 with the seat bottom part 19b.

[0039] The unit support portion 15 supports the lamp unit 16. The outer shape of the unit support portion 15 is, for example, a rectangular column shape. The unit support portion 15 protrudes from the bottom portion 12 and the inner wall portion 11, for example, inward of the upper end 10a of the storage container 10 (i.e., downward in the up-down direction). For example, the unit support portion 15 is provided on the rear side in the front-to-rear direction and on the right side opposite the left side where the side stand 8a is provided in the left-right direction. The unit support portion 15 protrudes from each of the rear inner wall portion 11b, the right inner wall portion 11c, and the bottom portion 12 so as to be disposed, for example, in a corner portion on the lower rear right side of the storage container 10.

[0040] Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the unit support part 15 seen from above, with a part of the light unit 16 in the storage container 10 of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 of the embodiment omitted. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the front surface 21a and the top surface 21d of the unit support part 15 seen from above, with a part of the light unit 16 in the storage container 10 of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 of the embodiment omitted. As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6, the unit support portion 15 includes, for example, a surface 21 having an opening 20 formed therein, a unit mounting portion 22, a unit accommodating portion 23, an electric wire accommodating portion 24, a baffle member (partition portion) 25, a unit holding portion 26, a unit fixing portion 27, and a terminal fixing portion 28.

[0041] The surface 21 of the unit support portion 15 includes, for example, a front surface 21a, a first side surface 21b, a second side surface 21c, and an upper surface 21d, the normal directions of which are different from each other. The front surface 21a is formed, for example, parallel to the Z-axis direction with the normal direction directed from the rear right corner toward the center of the storage container 10. The front surface 21a faces, for example, toward the center of the storage container 10. The first side surface 21b is formed so as to extend toward the rear inner wall portion 11b along the Y axis direction, which is a direction that is parallel to the Z axis direction and different from the direction parallel to the front surface 21a. For example, the angle between the first side surface 21b and the surface of the rear inner wall portion 11b is a right angle. The second side surface 21c is formed, for example, so as to extend toward the right-side inner wall portion 11c along the X-axis direction, which is a direction that is parallel to the Z-axis direction and different from the direction parallel to the front surface 21a. For example, the angle formed between the second side surface 21c and the surface of the right-side inner wall portion 11c is a right angle. The upper surface 21d is formed, for example, inward of the upper end 10a of the storage container 10 (that is, downward in the up-down direction) and is perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. In other words, the surface 21 of the unit support portion 15 includes a front surface 21a, a first side surface 21b, a second side surface 21c, and an upper surface 21d, which are different in planar direction from each other.

[0042] The unit mounting portion 22 and the unit accommodating portion 23 are provided, for example, so as to be recessed inwardly of the unit support portion 15 from the opening end 20 a of the opening 20 . The unit mounting portion 22 includes, for example, a front portion 22a, an upper portion 22b, and a wall portion 22c. The front portion 22a and the upper portion 22b are provided so as to be recessed inwardly of the unit support portion 15 from, for example, parts of the front portion 21a and the upper portion 21d of the surface 21. The wall portion 22c connects, for example, the opening ends 20a on the front portion 21a and the upper portion 21d to the front portion 22a and the upper portion 22b. For example, a support 31 of the lighting unit 16 described later is attached to the unit mounting portion 22.

[0043] The unit housing 23 is provided, for example, recessed from the front surface 22a and the top surface 22b toward the inside of the unit support portion 15. The unit housing 23 includes, for example, an inner wall portion 23a connected to the front surface 22a and the top surface 22b, and a bottom portion 23b connected to the inner wall portion 23a. The inner wall portion 23a is, for example, parallel to the Z-axis direction and bent at multiple points within the XY plane. The bottom portion 23b is, for example, provided inward (i.e., above in the vertical direction) from the bottom portion 12 of the storage container 10 and perpendicular to the Z-axis direction. The unit housing 23 forms, for example, a housing space in which portions of the light unit 16, described later, other than the support 31, are disposed. The unit accommodating portion 23 includes, for example, a fixing member 23c that is attached to a through hole that penetrates the bottom portion 23b in the thickness direction (vertical direction) and is joined to the vehicle body outside the storage container 10. The fixing member 23c fixes the storage container 10 to the vehicle body via the unit accommodating portion 23, for example.

[0044] The outer shape of the electric wire accommodating section 24 is, for example, cylindrical, forming a hollow area that communicates with the outside of the storage container 10 from an opening formed in the bottom 23b of the unit accommodating section 23. The electric wire accommodating section 24 has, for example, a cylindrical wall section 24a that extends in a vertically downward direction from the opening end of the opening in the bottom 23b. In the hollow section of the electric wire accommodating section 24, for example, a connecting electric wire 37 described later is arranged.

[0045] The baffle member (partition wall portion) 25 has an outer shape, for example, a plate-like shape protruding upward from the bottom portion 23b in the vertical direction. The partition wall portion 25 is provided, for example, closer to the opening end 20a than the electric wire housing portion 24 and further inward than a first support portion 31a of a support body 31 of the light body unit 16 described below. The partition wall portion 25 is provided, for example, on the outer side of the storage container 10 than the front surface (21a) when viewed from the center of the storage container 10.

[0046] The unit holding part 26 has an outer shape, for example, a claw shape that fits with a claw part 33 of the light body unit 16 described later. The unit holding part 26 is provided, for example, on the back side of the front surface 21a in the lower periphery of the opening end 20a. The unit holding part 26 is mechanically joined to the claw part 33 of the light body unit 16, for example, on the opening end 20a side of the center part of the partition part 25.

[0047] The unit fixing part 27 has, for example, a pin-shaped outer shape. The unit fixing part 27 is inserted into, for example, a through hole provided in a second support part 31b of a support body 31 of the light body unit 16 described later and a hole provided in an upper surface part 22b of the unit mounting part 22, thereby fixing the light body unit 16 to the unit mounting part 22.

[0048] The terminal fixing portion 28 has, for example, a plate-like outer shape that protrudes from the inner wall portion 23a toward the inside of the unit accommodating portion 23. The terminal fixing portion 28 fixes, for example, a terminal portion 36 of the lighting unit 16, which will be described later.

[0049] Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the front side of the lighting unit 16 in the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 of the embodiment. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the rear side of the lighting unit 16 in the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 of the embodiment. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the unit support part 15 and the lighting unit 16 in the storage container 10 of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 of the embodiment, with a part cut away, as viewed from the rear side. As shown in Figures 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, the lighting unit 16 includes, for example, a support body 31, a light distribution section 32, a claw section 33, a lighting body 34, an electric wire 35, a terminal section 36, a connecting electric wire 37, and a connecting terminal section 38. The support body 31 and the light distribution section 32 form, for example, a lid section that covers the opening 20 of the unit support section 15. The lid section formed by the support body 31 and the light distribution section 32 is fixed, for example, to the opening end 20a of the opening 20, and together with the unit support section 15, forms an integrated structure that forms, so to speak, a closed internal space.

[0050] The support 31 has, for example, a curved plate-like external shape. The support 31 includes, for example, a first support portion 31a attached to the front surface portion 22a of the unit mounting portion 22 and a second support portion 31b attached to the upper surface portion 22b of the unit mounting portion 22. The first support portion 31a is connected to the light distribution portion 32, which will be described later. The second support portion 31b has a through hole formed in the thickness direction, the through hole communicating with a hole provided in the upper surface portion 22b of the unit mounting portion 22 and into which the unit fixing portion 27 is inserted.

[0051] The external shape of the light distribution section 32 is, for example, a rectangular container that is recessed from the surface (front) of the first support section 31a in a rectangular shape and protrudes from the back (rear) of the first support section 31a in a rectangular shape. The light distribution section 32 includes, for example, a bottom section 32a that fixes the light body 34 described later, and a wall section 32b that connects the bottom section 32a and the first support section 31a. The external shape of the wall section 32b is, for example, a rectangular tube shape, and the opening gradually expands from the bottom section 32a toward the first support section 31a. The wall section 32b includes, for example, a holding member 32c that holds a main body section 34b of the light body 34 described later on the back (rear) side of the first support section 31a.

[0052] The claw portion 33 is provided, for example, at the lower end of the first support portion 31a of the support body 31. The claw portion 33 is mechanically joined to the unit holding portion 26 of the unit support portion 15 by, for example, a so-called cantilever-type snap fit. The claw portion 33 meshes with the unit holding portion 26 by its elasticity, thereby fixing the unit support portion 15 and the light body unit 16 to each other.

[0053] The light body 34 includes, for example, a light emitting portion 34a exposed to the outside on the obverse (front) side of the first support portion 31a, and a main body portion 34b connected to an electric wire 35 on the reverse (rear) side of the first support portion 31a. The light emitting section 34a is arranged, for example, such that the direction of the optical axis faces diagonally downward toward the raised portion 13 of the bottom 12 of the storage container 10 when the lamp unit 16 is attached to the unit attachment portion 22. The main body 34b energizes the light-emitting unit 34a with power supplied from an electric wire 35. The main body 34b is held by, for example, a holding member 32c provided on the wall 32b of the light distribution unit 32 on the back (rear) side of the first support 31a.

[0054] The electric wire 35 is, for example, a so-called insulated electric wire, which is a conductor covered with an insulator. The electric wire 35 electrically connects, for example, the main body portion 34b of the light body 34 and the terminal portion 36. The terminal portion 36 is fixed to the terminal fixing portion 28 of the unit support portion 15 on the back surface (rear surface) side of the first support portion 31a. The terminal portion 36 switches between electrical connection and disconnection between the electric wire 35 and the connecting electric wire 37 by attaching and detaching a connection terminal portion 38 described later. The terminal portion 36 is, for example, a female or male connector that forms a pair with the connection terminal portion 38 described later. For example, the light body 34 and the terminal portion 36 are arranged side by side from the center of the storage container 10, in the order of the light body 34 and the terminal portion 36.

[0055] The connecting electric wire 37 is, for example, a so-called insulated electric wire, which is a conductor covered with an insulator. The connecting electric wire 37 is arranged, for example, so as to extend from the accommodation space of the unit accommodation portion 23 through the hollow portion of the electric wire accommodation portion 24 to the outside of the storage container 10. The connecting electric wire 37 electrically connects, for example, a power source outside the storage container 10 and the connection terminal portion 38. The connection terminal portion 38 switches between electrical connection and disconnection between the electric wire 35 and the connection electric wire 37 by being attached to and detached from the terminal portion 36. The connection terminal portion 38 is, for example, a male or female connector that forms a pair with the terminal portion 36.

[0056] As described above, the saddle-type vehicle 1 of the embodiment is provided with the unit support portion 15 inside the storage container 10, thereby eliminating the need for additional mounting space for electrical equipment such as lighting outside the storage container 10 and reducing the need for additional protective structures for waterproofing, dustproofing, etc. of the electrical equipment. The unit support portion 15 protrudes from the rear inner wall portion 11b and the right inner wall portion 11c that extend in different directions among the inner wall portion 11, and is provided, for example, in a corner portion that is likely to become a dead space inside the storage container 10. The lighting unit 16 can be arranged while minimizing the reduction in the effective usable volume inside the storage container 10 as much as possible.

[0057] The unit support part 15 has a first side surface 21b and a second side surface 21c whose normal direction is different from the normal direction of the front surface 21a, and thus the effective usable volume inside the storage container 10 can be increased compared to a case where, for example, only the front surface 21a is connected to the rear inner wall portion 11b and the right inner wall portion 11c. A space into which the occupant's fingers can be easily inserted can be formed around the connection parts between the first side surface 21b and the second side surface 21c and the rear inner wall portion 11b and the right inner wall portion 11c, and convenience for storing and retrieving items can be improved even with the unit support part 15 provided. The first side surface 21b and the second side surface 21c are connected to the rear inner wall portion 11b and the right inner wall portion 11c at right angles, thereby making it possible to further improve convenience when storing and retrieving items.

[0058] By arranging the lighting unit 16 in the opening 20 on the surface 21 of the unit support part 15, the actual usable volume inside the storage container 10 can be prevented from being reduced compared to, for example, a case in which the lighting unit 16 protrudes from the surface 21 of the unit support part 15. The light body 34, electric wires 35 and terminal portion 36 of the light body unit 16 are integrally provided, so that they can be removed and attached as a whole during maintenance work, etc., thereby improving ease of work.

[0059] The unit support part 15 includes the partition part 25 provided closer to the opening end 20a than the electric wire accommodating part 24, and thereby, for example, water, dust, etc., which enters the unit accommodating part 23 from the outside of the storage container 10 via the electric wire accommodating part 24, can be prevented from flowing into the inside of the storage container 10 from the opening end 20a. The partition part 25 is provided on the inner side than the first support part 31a of the light body unit 16, and thereby, can prevent water, dust, etc., from entering the inside of the storage container 10 from a gap between the first support part 31a of the light body unit 16 and the opening end 20a.

[0060] By providing the terminal fixing portion 28 inside the unit accommodating portion 23, it is possible to suppress the need for additional protective structures such as waterproofing and dustproofing for the terminal portion 36 and the periphery of the terminal portion 36, as compared to the case where the terminal fixing portion 28 is provided, for example, outside the storage container 10. Furthermore, by providing the terminal fixing portion 28 inside the unit accommodating portion 23, the fixing of the terminal portion 36 can be completed within the fixing portion of the lighting unit 16 (the unit accommodating portion 23), which improves ease of work. Providing a raised portion 13 that reflects light from the lighting unit 16 makes it easier to illuminate the entire interior of the storage container 10, reducing the need to increase the output of the lighting unit 16, improving energy efficiency, and reducing the enlargement of the light source (light body 34).

[0061] Since the lighting unit 16 is equipped with a support body 31 to which the lighting body 34 is fixed and a light distribution section 32, the lighting unit 16 can be easily removed and attached independently from inside the storage container 10 during maintenance work, etc., thereby improving ease of work. The lighting unit 16 is provided with a support body 31 and a light distribution section 32 which are integrally fixed to the opening end 20a of the opening 20, thereby making it possible to prevent the inside of the unit accommodating section 23 from being exposed, compared to, for example, a case in which the support body 31 and the light distribution section 32 are not provided.

[0062] The unit accommodating portion 23 has a bottom 23b to which the fixing member 23c is attached, thereby making it possible to fix the storage container 10 to the vehicle body via the unit accommodating portion 23 while suppressing an increase in lost volume within the storage container 10.

[0063] (Modification) Modifications of the embodiment will be described below. Note that the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof will be omitted or simplified. In the above-described embodiment, the unit support part 15 is positioned at the lower right corner of the rear of the storage container 10 in accordance with the position of the side stand 8a, but this is not limited to this and may be positioned, for example, at another corner of the storage container 10.
