Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a saddle-ride type vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] In saddle-type vehicles such as motorcycles, an information display panel (information display unit) that displays various vehicle status information such as driving speed, remaining fuel, and driving distance is installed in approximately the center of the steering handle in the vehicle width direction. In recent years, in these types of saddle-type vehicles, there has been a demand for a power supply unit such as a USB charger to be installed behind the display surface of the information display panel so that external devices such as smartphones can be charged in a position that is easily within reach of the driver.

[0003] A power supply unit such as a USB charger has a terminal insertion portion for connecting the connection terminal of an external device. When the connection terminal of the external device is removed, the connection port of the terminal insertion portion opens directly to the outside, so it is desirable to close the opening with a separate member after the connection terminal is removed.

[0004] One technology proposed for devices having a terminal insertion portion is to provide a flexible tongue portion on a cover member that covers the outside of the terminal insertion portion, and to connect the tongue portion to the housing so that it can be pulled out (see, for example, Patent Document 1). When the connection terminal of an external device is connected to the terminal insertion portion, the cover member of this device opens outward using the tongue portion as a hinge fulcrum, and when the connection terminal of an external device is not connected to the terminal insertion portion, the cover member closes to cover the outside of the terminal insertion portion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-238660 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Saddle-ride type vehicles such as motorcycles are constantly subjected to vibrations from the vehicle drivetrain and running vibrations, and also frequently experience large loads being applied to the vehicle body due to acceleration, deceleration, steering, etc. For this reason, if the technology for the cover member described in Patent Document 1 is applied directly to the above-mentioned saddle-ride type vehicle, the cover main body of the cover member supported via the tongue portion is likely to vibrate when the connection terminal of an external device is connected to the terminal insertion portion. In this case, there is a risk that the cover main body will come into contact with surrounding devices, generating contact noise, so measures such as using a tongue portion made of a material that is less likely to vibrate are necessary.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a saddle-type vehicle that can reliably restrict the swinging movement of the cover member in a location that is less visible to the passenger when the cover member is released from the terminal insertion portion of the power supply unit. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] As a means for solving the above problem, a saddle-ride type vehicle of a first aspect of the present invention is a saddle-ride type vehicle comprising: an information display unit (30) having a display surface (31a) that displays the status of the vehicle; a power supply unit (40) having a terminal insertion portion (41) into which a connection terminal of an external device can be inserted and removed; and a lid member (42) that can be attached and detached to the terminal insertion portion (41), wherein the power supply unit (40) is arranged on the side of a back surface (31b) that faces in the opposite direction to the display surface (31a) of the information display unit (30), with a gap (39) sandwiched between the power supply unit (40) and at least a part of the back surface (31b), and the lid member (42) is capable of transitioning between an attached state in which it is attached to the terminal insertion portion (41) and a fixed state in which it is fixed in the gap (39) between the information display unit (30) and the power supply unit (40).

[0009] In this type of saddle-type vehicle, when the cover member is not attached to the terminal insertion portion, the cover member is fixed in the gap between the information display unit and the power supply unit, so that the cover member is maintained in a stable state and vibration of the cover member is reduced even when subjected to external vibrations or impacts. Furthermore, when the lid member is not attached to the terminal insertion portion, the lid member is fixed to the rear side of the display surface of the information display unit, making it difficult for a user to see the lid member when viewing the display surface of the information display unit, resulting in a good appearance. Furthermore, because the power supply unit is located on the rear side of the information display unit, even when the connection terminal of an external device is inserted into the terminal insertion portion of the power supply unit, raindrops and the like are unlikely to directly hit the terminal insertion portion.

[0010] The saddle-type vehicle of the second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that in the first aspect, the power supply unit (40) has a sliding guide surface (49) at a position opposite the back surface of the information display unit (30) that can guide the cover member (42) to a fixed position in the gap (39), and has a terminal insertion portion (41) on a surface that intersects with the sliding guide surface (49).

[0011] In this case, the surface having the terminal insertion portion is provided on a surface that intersects with the sliding guide surface that guides the cover member to a fixed position, thereby narrowing the gap between the information display unit and the power supply unit and making it possible to compactly position the power supply unit on the back side of the information display unit.

[0012] The saddle-type vehicle of the third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first or second aspect, it further includes a fixing stay (28A) that fixes the information display unit (30) to the vehicle body on the back (31b) side, and in the fixed state, at least a portion of the cover member (42) is spaced outward in the vehicle width direction from the outer side edge of the fixing stay (28A) that is located on the same side in the vehicle width direction based on the center (CL) in the vehicle width direction.

[0013] In this case, when the cover member is in the fixed state, at least a portion of the cover member is spaced outward in the vehicle width direction from the outer side edge of the fixing stay located on the same side in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, when a user grasps the cover member and moves the cover member between the fixed state and the attached state, the user's fingertips are less likely to interfere with the fixing stay. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the cover member is easy to operate.

[0014] A fourth aspect of the saddle-ride type vehicle of the present invention is characterized in that, in the third aspect, the lid member (42) has a lid main body portion (43) that is attached to the terminal insertion portion (41), and in a fixed state, the lid main body portion (43) is accommodated in the gap (39), and a separation distance (T1) between the top wall (43b) of the lid main body portion (43) and the back surface (31b) is smaller than a separation distance (T2) between the back surface (31b) and the fixed stay (28A), and a separation distance (T3) between the underside portion (43c) of the lid main body portion (43) and the power supply unit (40) is smaller than a separation distance (T4) between the power supply unit (40) and the fixed stay (28A).

[0015] In this case, in the fixed state, the distance (width) between the top surface of the lid main body and the information display unit is smaller than the distance between the information display unit and the fixed stay, and the distance between the bottom surface of the lid main body and the power supply unit is set to be smaller than the distance between the power supply unit and the fixed stay.Therefore, in the fixed state, when the lid main body is inserted into the gap, the lid main body moves closer to the information display unit and the power supply unit, making it easier for the lid member to be fixed stably.

[0016] A fifth aspect of the saddle-type vehicle of the present invention is characterized in that, in the fourth aspect, the cover member (42) is fixed in a fixed state so that the center of the cover main body portion (43) as viewed in the attachment direction is offset away from the fixed stay with respect to the insertion / removal central axis (L1) of the terminal insertion portion (41).

[0017] In this case, when the cover member is in the fixed state, the cover main body is maintained in a state offset outward in the vehicle width direction so as to be spaced apart from the fixed stay. Therefore, even if the power supply unit is placed sufficiently close to the fixed stay, the fixed stay does not prevent the cover main body from transitioning to the fixed state. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the power supply unit can be placed more compactly behind the information display unit.

[0018] A saddle-type vehicle of a sixth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the fifth aspect, the power supply unit (40) has a support protrusion (37) protruding from the sliding guide surface (49), and the lid member (42) has a lid main body portion (43) and a tongue portion (44) connected to the lid main body portion (43) so as to be able to flexibly deform, and the tongue portion (44) has a guide hole (46) extending along the longitudinal direction of the tongue portion (44) and slidably and rotatably engaged with the support protrusion (37), and a notched surface (47) provided in a corner portion of the tongue portion (44) on the side opposite to the connecting portion (45) with the lid main body portion (43) and on the side close to the fixed stay (28A), and the notched surface (47) abuts against the fixed stay (28A) in a fixed state.

[0019] In this case, when the lid member is in the attached state, the tongue portion of the lid member engages with the support protrusion while abutting against the sliding guide surface, and in this state, the lid main body is attached to the terminal insertion portion. To transition the lid member from this state to the fixed state, the connecting portion between the lid main body and the tongue portion is bent to separate the lid main body from the terminal insertion portion, and then the tongue portion and the lid main body are inserted into the gap between the power supply unit and the information display unit along the sliding guide surface. At this time, the tongue portion moves with its guide hole guided by the support protrusion. At an appropriate timing during this process, the entire lid member is rotated around the support protrusion so that the lid main body is separated from the fixed stay. This causes the notched surface of the tongue portion located on the opposite side of the lid main body to abut against the fixed stay. As a result, the lid member is stably fixed in the gap without the fixed stay preventing the lid main body from inserting into the gap.

[0020] A saddle-type vehicle according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the sixth aspect, the guide hole (46) of the tongue portion (44) is formed so that, when the cover member (42) is in an attached state, the central axis (L2) in the extension direction is approximately parallel to the central insertion / removal axis (L1) of the terminal insertion portion (41) and is offset from the central insertion / removal axis (L1) to the side away from the fixed stay (28A).

[0021] In this case, when the lid member is in the attached state, the central axis of the extension direction of the guide hole is approximately parallel to the central axis of insertion and removal of the terminal insertion portion, so that the lid main body can be attached and detached to and from the terminal insertion portion without being hindered by the support protrusion. Furthermore, when the cover member is in the attached state, the central axis of the guide hole in the extension direction is offset away from the fixed stay with respect to the insertion / removal central axis of the terminal insertion portion. Therefore, the support protrusion engaged with the guide hole is also positioned on the same side as the central axis of the guide hole in the extension direction and offset from the insertion / removal central axis by the same distance. Therefore, when transitioning the cover member from the attached state to the fixed state, by rotating the cover member around the support protrusion, the cover main body of the cover member can be moved farther away from a portion of the fixed stay. Therefore, by adopting this configuration, the movement of the cover main body can be prevented from being hindered by the fixed stay during transition of the cover member to the fixed state. As a result, the power supply unit can be positioned closer to the fixed stay, allowing the power supply unit to be more compactly arranged behind the information display unit.

[0022] The saddle-type vehicle of the eighth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the sixth or seventh aspect, it further includes a cover member (29) fixed to the fixed stay (28A) between the fixed stay (28A) and the information display unit (30), and the thickness (H1) of the attachment side of the lid main body portion (43) is set to be thicker than the thickness (H2) of the tongue portion (44) in a direction perpendicular to the sliding guide surface (49), and in the fixed state, the lid main body portion (43) abuts against the cover member (29) and the tongue portion (44) abuts against the fixed stay (28A).

[0023] In this case, when the lid member is in a fixed state, the lid main body and the tongue portion, which have different thicknesses, can be stably fixed in position by the contact surfaces of the covering member and the fixing stay.

[0024] A saddle-ride type vehicle of a ninth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the sixth to eighth aspects, the guide hole (46) of the tongue portion (44) has a first hole region (46a) that engages with the support protrusion (37) while the cover member (42) is transitioning from the attached state to the fixed state, a second hole region (46b) that engages with the support protrusion (37) when the cover member (42) transitions to the fixed state, and a constricted portion (46c) that is located between the first hole region (46a) and the second hole region (46b) and has a width that is narrower than other portions in a direction intersecting the extension direction of the guide hole (46), and when the cover member (42) transitions from the attached state to the fixed state, the support protrusion (37) overcomes the constricted portion (46c) and engages with the second hole region (46b).

[0025] In this case, when the cover member transitions from the attached state to the fixed state, the support protrusion overcomes the constricted portion and engages with the second hole area. Once the support protrusion enters the second hole area, the constricted portion prevents it from returning. This allows the cover body to stably maintain its orientation while riding on the sliding guide surface, and also allows the cover member to rotate stably. Therefore, after the cover member transitions to the fixed state, the cover body is more stably fixed, making it easier to insert the connection terminal of an external device into the terminal insertion portion.

[0026] The saddle-type vehicle of the tenth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the sixth to ninth aspects, a protrusion (48) for a finger hook is formed on the side surface opposite the connecting portion (45) with the tongue portion (44) of the lid main body portion (43).

[0027] In this case, when removing the lid main body from the terminal insertion portion, the worker can easily remove the lid main body from the terminal insertion portion by hooking their fingers on the finger hook convex portion. [Effects of the Invention]

[0028] According to the saddle-type vehicle of the present invention, when the cover member is released from the terminal insertion portion of the power supply unit, the swinging movement of the cover member can be reliably restricted in a location that is not easily visible to the passenger.

[0030] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the directions of front, rear, left, right, etc. are the same as those in the vehicle described below. In addition, in the appropriate places in the drawings, an arrow FR pointing forward of the vehicle, an arrow LH pointing to the left side of the vehicle, an arrow UP pointing upward of the vehicle, and a line CL indicating the center of the vehicle on the left and right are shown. In addition, in the following description, "inner side in the vehicle width direction" means the side closer to the center CL of the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction (left and right direction), and "outer side in the vehicle width direction" means the side farther from the center CL of the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction.

[0031] FIG. 1 is a left side view of a motorcycle 1, which is one form of a saddle-ride type vehicle. The motorcycle 1 is a cruiser-type vehicle with a low, long body. The front wheel 2 of the motorcycle 1 is supported at the lower ends of a pair of left and right front forks 3 that are inclined at the front of the vehicle body so that their upper portions face rearward. The upper portions of the left and right front forks 3 are supported at the front end of a body frame 20 via a steering stem 4. A steering bar handle 6 is attached to the upper portion of the steering stem 4 so that it can be steered. In addition, a front cowl 5 is attached to the upper portion of the steering stem 4, covering the front of the central region of the bar handle 6 in the vehicle width direction.

[0032] The rear wheel 7 of the motorcycle 1 is supported at the rear end of a swing arm 8 that extends fore and aft from the underside of the rear of the vehicle body. The front end of the swing arm 8 is supported at the underside of the rear of the vehicle body frame 20 so that it can swing up and down. The rear wheel 7 is connected to a power unit 10A, which is the prime mover of the motorcycle 1, via a chain-type transmission mechanism 7a located, for example, on the right rear side of the vehicle body. The rear ends of the left and right arm portions of the swing arm 8 are connected to the lower ends of a pair of left and right rear cushions 9.

[0033] The power unit 10A is mounted inside the body frame 20. The power unit 10A includes an engine (internal combustion engine) 10 having a crankshaft that extends along the vehicle width direction (left-right direction). The engine 10 has a cylinder 12 that stands upright above the front part of a crankcase 11. The rear part of the crankcase 11 serves as a transmission case that houses a transmission.

[0034] An intake passage 13 including a throttle section and the like is connected to the rear of the cylinder 12. A base end of an exhaust pipe 14 is connected to the front of the cylinder 12. The exhaust pipe 14 curves rearward in front of the engine 10, is routed rearward below the engine 10, and is connected to an exhaust muffler 14a located, for example, on the right rear side of the vehicle body.

[0035] A fuel tank 15 for storing fuel is disposed above the engine 10. A seat 16 for the driver is disposed behind the fuel tank 15. A pair of left and right steps 17 for the driver to place their feet on are disposed in front of and below the seat 16. Auxiliary equipment 18 such as an air cleaner is disposed below the seat 16. The auxiliary equipment 18 is supported inside a body frame 20 and is covered from the left and right outer sides by side covers 19 attached to the body frame 20.

[0036] The body frame 20 comprises a head pipe 21 located at its front end and supporting the steering stem 4, a pair of left and right main frames 22 branching off to the left and right from the upper rear side of the head pipe 21 and extending downward and rearward in a side view, a pair of left and right down frames 23 branching off to the left and right from the lower rear side of the head pipe 21 and extending rearward and downward at a steeper incline than the main frames 22 in a side view, a pair of left and right pivot frames 24 joined to the rear parts of the left and right main frames 22 and supporting the front end of the swing arm 8, and a seat frame 25 whose front end is joined to the upper rear part of the main frame 22 and extends rearward.

[0037] The body frame 20 has a so-called diamond frame structure in which the engine 10 (power unit 10A) is used as part of the frame structure. The engine 10 is mounted so as to be surrounded by a main frame 22, a down frame 23, and a pivot frame 24 in a side view, and connects the lower part of the down frame 23 to the rear part of the main frame 22 and the pivot frame 24.

[0038] Fig. 2 is an enlarged, partially sectional side view of part II in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the front area (the central area of ​​the handlebar 6) of the motorcycle 1 as viewed from above. An information display unit 30 is fixed to the upper part of the steering stem 4 (see FIG. 1) via fixing stays 28A and 28B. The information display unit 30 has a unit housing 31 that is rectangular and long horizontally in a plan view, and the upper surface of the unit housing 31 serves as a display surface 31a. A rear surface 31b of the unit housing 31, which faces in the opposite direction to the display surface 31a, is connected and fixed to three boss portions 28a of the fixing stays 28A and 28B. The three boss portions 28a support the front side of the rear surface 31b of the unit housing 31 at an approximate center position in the width direction and the left and right side positions on the rear side of the rear surface 31b of the unit housing 31. A cover member 29 for covering an air circulation hole 31c provided on the rear surface 31b of the unit housing 31 from at least the unit housing 31 side is fixed to the stays 28 so as to have a small gap between it and the information display unit 30. However, the rear surface 31b of the unit housing 31 may or may not include the tip surface (not shown) of the air circulation hole 31c.

[0039] The display surface 31a of the information display unit 30 is configured by, for example, a liquid crystal display, etc. The information display unit 30 acquires various information about the vehicle, such as the traveling speed, remaining fuel amount, and traveling distance, from sensors in various parts of the vehicle, and displays the information on the display surface 31a.

[0040] Additionally, a USB charger 40, which is a form of a power supply unit, is attached to a fixed stay 28A that is part of the upper part of the steering stem 4. The USB charger 40 is formed in a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in one direction, and a terminal insertion portion 41 into which a connection terminal of an external device such as a mobile terminal is removably inserted is protruded from one end in the longitudinal direction. The USB charger 40 is installed on the rear surface 31b side of the information display unit 30, with a gap 39 sandwiched between the USB charger 40 and the rear surface 31b.

[0041] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the USB charger 40 is fixed to the fixed stay 28A, which is arranged on the left side of the vehicle with reference to the vehicle body center CL (center in the vehicle width direction). The USB charger 40 is arranged approximately parallel to the outer left side edge of the fixed stay 28A. The USB charger 40 fixed to the fixed stay 28A has the insertion port of the terminal insertion part 41 facing downward and rear left. In this state, the USB charger 40 is arranged so that its longitudinal direction is inclined downward and rear left with respect to the upper and lower sides of the unit housing 31 of the information display unit 30. As a result, the information display unit 30 has approximately horizontal upper and lower edges, improving the visibility of information for the driver, and the USB charger 40 has improved waterproofing because the socket for the terminal insertion portion 41 faces diagonally downward.

[0042] Furthermore, the USB charger 40 is fitted with a lid member 42 that is attached to the terminal insertion portion 41 so as to close the insertion opening of the terminal insertion portion 41 when not in use (when a connection terminal for an external device is not inserted into the terminal insertion portion 41). The lid member 42 is formed from a flexible resin material. As will be described in detail later, the lid member 42 can be transitioned between a fixed state in which it is attached to the terminal insertion portion 41 and a fixed state in which it is detached from the terminal insertion portion 41 and fixed in the gap 39 between the USB charger 40 and the information display unit 30.

[0043] Fig. 4 is a view taken along the arrow IV in Fig. 2 with the information display unit 30 removed and the lid member 42 in the attached state. Fig. 5 is a view taken along the arrow IV in Fig. 2 with the information display unit 30 removed and the lid member 42 in the fixed state. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, two fixed stays 28A, 28B are arranged so as to incline outward in the vehicle width direction toward the lower rear, centered on one boss portion 28a located at the vehicle body left-right center CL. One fixed stay 28A and the other fixed stay 28B are connected to each other at the boss portion 28a located at the vehicle body left-right center CL. One fixed stay 28A has an inclined region between the central boss portion 28a and the lower left rear boss portion 28a recessed downward. Similarly, the other fixed stay 28B has an inclined region between the central boss portion 28a and the lower right rear boss portion 28a recessed downward.

[0044] The cover member 29 includes an inclined piece 29a arranged above the inclined region of one fixed stay 28A, an inclined piece 29b arranged above the inclined region of the other fixed stay 28B, and a connecting piece 29c connecting the front ends of these inclined pieces 29a and 29b to each other. The cover member 29 is connected to one fixed stay 28A and the other fixed stay 28B at the two inclined pieces 29a and 29b. One of the inclined pieces 29a located on the left side of the vehicle of the cover member 29 is positioned so that it has approximately the same angle of inclination as the longitudinal direction of the USB charger 40 installed in the vehicle, that is, so that it is approximately parallel to the side of the USB charger 40 along the longitudinal direction. 4 and 5, reference numeral 27 denotes a connector on the vehicle body side for inputting power and signals to the information display unit 30.

[0045] Fig. 6 is a plan view of a portion of the USB charger 40. Figs. 7 and 8 are a plan view and a side view of the cover member 42. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the USB charger 40 with the cover member 42 attached, viewed from above, and Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the USB charger 40 with the cover member 42 attached, viewed from below. The USB charger 40 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing 32 with a terminal insertion portion 41 that is substantially oval in front view protruding from one longitudinal end thereof, and a power supply cable 33 (see FIGS. 9 and 10 ) that is connected to a vehicle battery that can be connected to the other longitudinal end thereof. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , a housing cover 34 covers the periphery of the housing 32 except for one and the other longitudinal ends. A raised portion 35 that is substantially rectangular in top view is provided in the center of the top surface of the housing cover 34. A locking groove 36 is formed on a side of the raised portion 35 that is perpendicular to the protruding direction of the terminal insertion portion 41. The locking groove 36 extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the USB charger 40. A support protrusion 72 that protrudes from the fixed stay 28A can be engaged with the locking groove 36. The USB charger 40 is supported by the fixed stay 28A by inserting the support protrusion 72 into the locking groove 36 of the housing cover 34.

[0046] 4 and 5, displacement of the USB charger 40 toward the front of the vehicle is restricted by a protrusion 70 protruding from the rear surface of the front cowl 5, and displacement toward the rear of the vehicle is restricted by a displacement restriction piece 71 protruding from the fixed stay 28A. The protrusion 70 on the front cowl 5 side abuts against the vicinity of a front corner of the USB charger 40 from the front of the vehicle, and the displacement restriction piece 71 on the fixed stay 28A side abuts against the vicinity of the front corner of the USB charger 40 from the rear of the vehicle. When the connection terminal is inserted into the terminal insertion portion 41, a large load acts on the USB charger 40 toward the front of the vehicle, but this load is absorbed by the protrusion 70 on the front cowl 5 side. In addition, when the connection terminal is removed from the terminal insertion portion 41, a large load acts on the USB charger 40 toward the rear of the vehicle, but this load is absorbed by the displacement restriction piece 71 on the fixed stay 28A side.

[0047] Furthermore, a support protrusion 37 having a circular cross section protrudes from the upper surface of the raised portion 35, which is substantially rectangular when viewed from above. A plate-shaped removal prevention piece 38 is integrally provided at the extending end of the support protrusion 37. The support protrusion 37 protrudes at a position offset from the insertion / removal central axis L1 (see FIG. 6) of the terminal insertion portion 41. The insertion / removal central axis L1 is an axis that passes through the insertion center of the terminal insertion portion 41 when the connection terminal of an external device is inserted into the terminal insertion portion 41. More specifically, the support protrusion 37 protrudes at a position offset by a predetermined distance from the insertion / removal central axis L1 away from the fixed stay 28A when the USB charger 40 is fixed to the vehicle body. The insertion / removal central axis L1 coincides with an axis passing through the insertion / removal center (attachment center) of a lid main body 43 of a lid member 42 described below when the lid main body 43 is attached to the terminal insertion portion 41.

[0048] The lid member 42 includes a lid main body 43 that fits over the terminal insertion portion 41 of the USB charger 40, and a tongue portion 44 that is flexibly connected to the lid main body 43. The lid member 42 is formed entirely from an elastic elastomer material. The lid main body 43 has a generally oval shape in front view that is slightly larger than the terminal insertion portion 41. The lid main body 43 includes a generally elliptical peripheral wall 43a that fits over the outer peripheral surface of the terminal insertion portion 41, a top wall 43b connected to one end of the peripheral wall 43a, and a bottom surface 43c connected to the other end of the peripheral wall 43a. The tongue portion 44 is connected to the outer surface of the end diameter side of the peripheral wall 43a of the lid main body 43.

[0049] Regarding the lid main body 43, hereinafter, the thickness in the direction in which the peripheral wall 43a is attached to the terminal insertion portion 41 will be referred to as the attachment-side thickness H1. The thickness H2 of the tongue portion 44 in the plate thickness direction is set to be sufficiently thinner than the attachment-side thickness H1 of the lid main body 43. 7 and 8, in the initial state of the lid member 42, the tongue portion 44 extends linearly from the outer surface of the peripheral wall 43a of the lid main body 43 in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface. The lid main body 43 is capable of flexural deformation in the thickness direction of the tongue portion 44, starting from a point near a connecting portion 45 with the tongue portion 44.

[0050] The tongue portion 44 is a rectangular plate-like portion of a substantially uniform thickness. Hereinafter, the direction in which the tongue portion 44 extends longitudinally from the outer surface of the peripheral wall 43a of the lid main body 43 will be referred to as the "longitudinal direction," and the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the direction of the thickness H2 will be referred to as the "width direction." A guide hole 46 extending along the longitudinal direction is formed in approximately the center of the width direction of the tongue portion 44.

[0051] 7, the tongue portion 44 is connected to the lid main body 43 so that a central axis L2 in the extension direction of the guide hole 46 is offset to one side in the width direction with respect to a center C1 of the top wall 43b that intersects with the insertion / removal central axis L1 of the lid main body 43. In detail, the tongue portion 44 is connected to the lid main body 43 so that when the USB charger 40 is fixed to the vehicle body, the central axis L2 in the extension direction of the guide hole 46 is offset by a predetermined distance from the center C1 of the top wall 43b (the center of the lid main body 43 when viewed in the attachment direction) to the side away from the fixed stay 28A. The guide hole 46 of the tongue portion 44 is formed so that, when the cover member 42 is in the attached state, the central axis L2 in the extending direction thereof is approximately parallel to the insertion / removal central axis L1 of the terminal insertion portion 41. Therefore, when the cover member 42 is in the attached state, the guide hole 46 is formed so that the central axis L2 in the extending direction thereof is approximately parallel to the insertion / removal central axis L1 of the terminal insertion portion 41 and is offset from the insertion / removal central axis L1 to the side away from the fixed stay 28A.

[0052] The support protrusion 37 protruding from the USB charger 40 is inserted into and engaged with the guide hole 46 of the tongue piece 44. The guide hole 46 of the tongue piece 44 is engaged with the support protrusion 37 so as to be able to slide and rotate, and in this state, the tongue piece 44 is prevented from coming off by the removal prevention piece 38.

[0053] 7, the guide hole 46 of the tongue portion 44 includes a first hole region 46a that is long in the longitudinal direction, a second hole region 46b that is short in the longitudinal direction, and a constricted portion 46c that is provided between the first hole region 46a and the second hole region 46b. The first hole region 46a is located on the side of the guide hole 46 that is away from the lid main body portion 43, and the second hole region 46b is located on the side of the guide hole 46 that is closer to the lid main body portion 43. Furthermore, the width of the constricted portion 46c is narrower than the width of the first hole region 46a and the second hole region 46b.

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9 , a notched surface 47 is provided at a corner of the tongue portion 44 opposite the longitudinal connecting portion 45 and adjacent to the fixed stay 28A, inclining at a predetermined angle relative to the widthwise end surface of the tongue portion 44. The "notched surface 47" does not refer to a surface cut out of a member as a manufacturing method, but rather refers to a surface where a corner of the member is notched. As described in detail below, when the cover member 42 is transitioned to the fixed state and finally rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle, the notched surface 47 abuts against the outer side edge 28as of the fixed stay 28A, as shown in FIG. 5 . This restricts rotation of the cover member 42 in one direction when the cover member 42 is in the fixed state.

[0055] As shown in Figures 7, 8, 10, etc., a finger hook projection 48 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the peripheral wall 43a of the lid main body 43 at a position opposite the connecting portion 45 with the tongue portion 44. The projection 48 is formed in a generally triangular shape in side view so that its protrusion height from the peripheral wall 43a increases as the distance from the top wall 43b of the lid main body 43 increases. The projection 48 has an inclined surface 48a whose protrusion height from the peripheral wall 43a gradually increases, and a finger hook surface 48b provided at the extending end of the inclined surface 48a so as to be perpendicular to the outer surface of the peripheral wall 43a. The finger hook projection 48 is located below the peripheral wall 43a of the lid main body 43 when the lid main body 43 is attached to the terminal insertion portion 41. The user can easily detach the lid main body 43 from the terminal insertion portion 41 by hooking the fingertip on the finger hook projection 48 and then pulling the lid main body 43 upward in this state.

[0056] 9 serves as a sliding guide surface 49 along which the back surface of the lid member 42 slides when the lid member 42 is guided by the support projections 37 and transitions between the attached state and the fixed state. Specifically, the top surface of the raised portion 35 of the casing cover 34 serves as a first sliding guide surface 49f that slidably guides the underside of the tongue portion 44 of the lid member 42. A lower flat surface closer to the terminal insertion portion 41 than the raised portion 35 serves as a second sliding guide surface 49s that slidably guides the back surface (lower surface portion 43c) of the lid main body portion 43 of the lid member 42. The terminal insertion portion 41 protrudes from a side surface of the USB charger 40 that intersects with the first sliding guide surface 49f and the second sliding guide surface 49s. The sliding guide surface 49 is composed of the first sliding guide surface 49f and the second sliding guide surface 49s.

[0057] 9, when the lid member 42 is in the attached state, the vicinity of the connecting portion 45 between the tongue portion 44 and the lid main body portion 43 is bent so that the lid main body portion 43 is attached to the terminal insertion portion 41. To transition the lid member 42 from this state to the fixed state, the lid main body portion 43 is pulled toward the tip side of the terminal insertion portion 41 to remove the lid main body portion 43 from the terminal insertion portion 41. At this time, the tongue portion 44 slides on the first sliding guide surface 49f and moves slightly in the pulling direction together with the lid main body portion 43.

[0058] When the lid main body 43 is pulled out from the terminal insertion portion 41, the deflection near the connecting portion 45 is released, and the lid main body 43 springs up. As a result, the orientation of the attachment-side thickness H1 of the lid main body 43 changes so that it faces the up-down direction (a direction perpendicular to the sliding guide surface 49). In this state, the worker grasps the lid main body 43 with their fingertips and pushes the lid member 42 into the gap 39 between the back surface 31b of the information display unit 30 and the USB charger 40. When the lid main body 43 is in the fixed state, it changes its orientation so that the attachment-side thickness H1 matches the separation direction of the gap 39, and is inserted into the gap 39.

[0059] Here, a separation distance T1 between the upper surface (top wall 43b) of the lid main body 43 and the rear surface 31b of the information display unit 30 is smaller than a separation distance T2 between the fixing stay 28A and the rear surface 31b of the information display unit 30. Furthermore, a separation width between the lower surface 43c of the lid main body 43 and the USB charger 40, i.e., a separation distance T3 between the lower surface 43c of the lid main body 43 and the second sliding guide surface 49s, is smaller than a separation width between the fixing stay 28A and the USB charger 40, i.e., a separation distance T4 between the fixing stay 28A and the second sliding guide surface 49s. Therefore, the lid main body 43 is stably fixed within the gap 39 formed by the information display unit 30 and the USB charger 40 by making the separation distance between the lid main body 43 and the information display unit 30 and the USB charger 40 smaller. In this embodiment, the attachment side thickness H1 of the lid main body 43 is set to be approximately equal to the gap 39 between the information display unit 30 and the USB charger 40. Additionally, in the fixed state, the lower surface 43c of the lid main body 43 abuts against the second sliding guide surface 49s. Therefore, the lid main body 43, which has been pushed into the fixed position in the gap 39, is stably fixed by the back surface 31b of the information display unit 30 and the upper surface (first sliding guide surface 49f) of the USB charger 40.

[0060] Furthermore, when the cover member 42 transitions from the attached state to the fixed state, the guide hole 46 of the tongue portion 44 slides against the support protrusion 37 on the USB charger 40, and the sliding contact position with the support protrusion 37 moves from the first hole region 46a toward the second hole region 46b. When the sliding contact position with the support protrusion 37 reaches the end of the first hole region 46a, the support protrusion 37 overcomes the constricted portion 46c and engages with the second hole region 46b. At this time, the cover main body portion 43 of the cover member 42 slides along the second sliding guide surface 49s, and the outer surface of the peripheral wall 43a contacts the outer surface (outer surface in the vehicle width direction) of the left inclined piece 29a of the cover member 29, as shown in FIG. 5. The outer surface (outer surface in the vehicle width direction) of the left inclined piece 29a of the cover member 29 is inclined so as to gradually approach the insertion / removal central axis L1 in the direction in which the cover member 42 is pushed into the gap 39. As a result, the lid main body 43 is gradually pushed forward along the outer surface of the inclined piece 29a, and the entire lid member 42 rotates clockwise around the support protrusion 37. As a result, the end of the tongue piece 44 in the pushing direction abuts against the outer side edge 29as of the cover member 29 at the notched surface 47. In this state, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid member 42 is positioned such that a part of the lid main body 43 (at least the finger hook protrusion 48) is spaced apart from the outer side edge 29as of the covering member 29 outward in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, the member against which the lid main body portion 43 abuts when in the fixed state is constituted by the cover member 29, and the member against which the tongue portion 44 abuts when in the fixed state is constituted by the fixed stay 28A.

[0061] <Effects of the embodiment> As described above, in the motorcycle 1 (saddle-ride type vehicle) of this embodiment, when the cover member 42 is not attached to the terminal insertion portion 41 of the USB charger 40, the cover member 42 is fixed in the gap 39 between the information display unit 30 and the USB charger 40. Therefore, the cover member 42 is maintained in a stable state, and the cover member 42 will not swing even if subjected to external vibrations or shocks. Furthermore, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, when the cover member 42 is not attached to the terminal insertion portion 41, the cover member 42 is fixed on the rear surface 31b of the display surface 31a of the information display unit 30, making the cover member 42 less visible to a user viewing the display surface 31a of the information display unit 30. This improves the appearance seen by the rider. Furthermore, in this configuration, the USB charger 40 is positioned on the rear surface 31b of the information display unit 30, so that even when an external device connection terminal is inserted into the terminal insertion portion 41 of the USB charger 40 for use, raindrops and the like are less likely to directly hit the terminal insertion portion 41. This is therefore desirable from the perspective of protecting the terminal insertion portion 41 when the USB charger 40 is in use. Therefore, when the motorcycle 1 (saddle-type vehicle) of this embodiment is adopted, when the cover member 42 is released from the terminal insertion portion 41 of the USB charger 40, the swinging movement of the cover member 42 can be reliably restricted in a position that is less visible to the rider.

[0062] Furthermore, in motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, USB charger 40 has sliding guide surface 49, which guides cover member 42 into gap 39, at a position facing back surface 31b of information display unit 30, and has terminal insertion portion 41 on a surface that intersects with sliding guide surface 49. In this configuration, the surface with terminal insertion portion 41 is provided on the surface that intersects with sliding guide surface 49, so that the distance between information display unit 30 and USB charger 40 can be narrowed and USB charger 40 can be compactly arranged on the back surface 31b side of information display unit 30.

[0063] Furthermore, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, when the cover member 42 is in the fixed state, at least a part of the cover member 42 (for example, the finger hook projection 48) is configured to be spaced outward in the vehicle width direction from the outer side edge of the fixed stay 28A on which the cover member 42 is disposed in the same vehicle width direction. Therefore, when the user grips the cover member 42 and moves the cover member 42 between the fixed state and the attached state, the user's fingertips are less likely to interfere with the fixed stay 28A. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the operability of the cover member 42 is improved.

[0064] In the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, when the lid member 42 is in the fixed state, the lid main body 43 is accommodated in the gap 39, and the separation distance T1 between the upper surface of the lid main body 43 and the back surface 31b of the information display unit 30 is smaller than the separation distance T2 between the back surface 31b and the fixing stay 28A. Furthermore, the separation distance T3 between the lower surface of the lid main body 43 and the power supply unit 40 is smaller than the separation distance T4 between the power supply unit 40 and the fixing stay 28A. Therefore, when the lid member 42 is in the fixed state, that is, when the lid main body 43 is inserted into the gap 39, the lid main body 43 approaches the information display unit 30 and the power supply unit 40, making it easier for the lid member 42 to be stably fixed.

[0065] Furthermore, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, the cover member 42 is fixed so that, when the cover member 42 is in the fixed state, the center C1 of the cover main body 43 is offset away from the fixed stay 28A with respect to the insertion / removal central axis L1 of the terminal insertion portion 41. Therefore, even if the USB charger 40 is disposed sufficiently close to the fixed stay 28A, the transition of the cover main body 43 to the fixed state is not prevented by the fixed stay 28A. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the USB charger 40 can be disposed more compactly on the rear surface 31b side of the information display unit 30.

[0066] Furthermore, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, the lid member 42 includes a lid main body 43 and a tongue portion 44 flexibly connected to the lid main body 43, and the tongue portion 44 is provided with a guide hole 46 that extends along the longitudinal direction of the tongue portion 44 and is slidably and rotatably engaged with the support protrusion 37 on the USB charger 40 side. A notched surface 47 is provided in a corner of the tongue portion 44 on the opposite side from the connecting portion 45 with the lid main body 43 and on the side close to the fixed stay 28A. In the fixed state, the notched surface 47 of the lid member 42 abuts against the outer side edge of the fixed stay 28A, as shown in FIG. 5 . In this configuration, the guiding function of the support protrusion 37 and the guide hole 46 of the tongue portion 44 allows the entire lid member 42 to be stably guided inwardly of the gap 39 when transitioning the lid member 42 from the attached state to the fixed state. Then, in the latter stage of the transition to the fixed state, the lid member 42 can be fixed in a stable position by rotating the lid member 42 about the support protrusion 37, causing the notched surface 47 in the corner view on the extended end side of the tongue portion 44 to abut against the outer side edge of the fixing stay 28A. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the lid member 42 can be stably fixed in the gap 39 without the fixing stay 28A preventing the lid main body 43 from being inserted into the gap 39.

[0067] Furthermore, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, the guide holes 46 are formed so that, when the cover member 42 is in the attached state, the central axis L2 in the extending direction of the guide holes 46 is substantially parallel to the insertion / removal central axis L1 of the terminal insertion portion 41 and is offset from the insertion / removal central axis L1 toward the side away from the fixed stay 28A. In this case, when the cover member 42 is in the attached state, the central axis L2 in the extending direction of the guide holes 46 is substantially parallel to the insertion / removal central axis L1 of the terminal insertion portion 41, so that the cover main body 43 can be attached to and detached from the terminal insertion portion 41 without being hindered by the support protrusions 37. Furthermore, in this case, when the cover member 42 is in the attached state, the central axis L2 in the extending direction of the guide hole 46 is offset away from the fixed stay 28A with respect to the insertion / removal central axis L1 of the terminal insertion portion 41. Therefore, the support protrusion 37 engaged with the guide hole 46 is also offset from the insertion / removal central axis L1 by the same distance and on the same side as the central axis L2 in the extending direction of the guide hole 46. Therefore, when the cover member 42 is transitioned from the attached state to the fixed state, if the cover member 42 is rotated clockwise about the support protrusion 37, the cover main body 43 of the cover member 42 can be spaced further away from the fixed stay 28A. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, it is possible to avoid the movement of lid main body 43 being hindered by fixing stay 28A while lid member 42 is being transitioned to the fixed state. As a result, USB charger 40 can be placed closer to fixing stay 28A, and USB charger 40 can be arranged more compactly on the side of back surface 31b of information display unit 30.

[0068] Furthermore, in motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, the outer surface (outer surface in the vehicle width direction) of left inclined piece 29a of cover member 29 is inclined so as to gradually approach insertion / removal central axis L1 in the pushing direction of lid member 42. Therefore, when lid member 42 is transitioned to the fixed state, the outer peripheral surface of lid main body 43 of lid member 42 slides against the outer surface of left inclined piece 29a, thereby allowing the entire lid member 42 to be pushed and moved in the clockwise direction. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the worker can simply push the cover member 42 into the gap 39 to change the position of the cover member 42 to the final fixed state in which the cutout surface 47 abuts against the side edge 29as of the fixed stay 28A.

[0069] Furthermore, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, the attachment-side thickness H1 of the lid main body 43 is set to be thicker than the thickness H2 of the tongue portion 44 in the plate thickness direction (the thickness in the direction perpendicular to the sliding guide surface 49). When the lid member 42 is in the fixed state, the lid main body 43 abuts against the outer side surface of the cover member 29, and the tongue portion 44 abuts against the outer side surface of the fixed stay 28A. Therefore, when the lid member 42 is in the fixed state, the lid main body 43 and the tongue portion 44, which are of different thicknesses, can be stably fixed in position by the abutment surfaces of the cover member 29 and the fixed stay 28A, which are located at appropriate heights.

[0070] Furthermore, in the motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, the guide hole 46 of the tongue portion 44 is configured to include a first hole region 46a, a second hole region 46b, and a constricted portion 46c. The first hole region 46a engages with the support protrusion 37 while the cover member 42 is transitioning from the attached state to the fixed state, and the second hole region 46b engages with the support protrusion 37 when the cover member 42 transitions to the fixed state. The constricted portion 46c is located between the first hole region 46a and the second hole region 46b, and has a width in a direction intersecting the extension direction of the guide hole 46 that is narrower than the other portions (the first hole region 46a and the second hole region 46b). When the cover member 42 transitions from the attached state to the fixed state, the support protrusion 37 passes over the constricted portion 46c and engages with the second hole region 46b. Therefore, when the cover member 42 transitions from the attached state to the fixed state, once the support protrusion 37 enters the second hole region 46b, the constricted portion 46c restricts the return of the cover member 42. As a result, the state in which the cover main body 43 changes direction and rides on the sliding guide surface 49 is stably maintained, and the cover member 42 can also be rotated stably. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, after the cover member 42 transitions to the fixed state, the cover main body portion 43 is fixed more stably, making it easier to insert the connection terminal of an external device into the terminal insertion portion 41.

[0071] Furthermore, in motorcycle 1 of this embodiment, a finger hook projection 48 is formed on the side surface of lid main body 43 at a position opposite to connecting portion 45 with tongue portion 44. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, when removing lid main body 43 from terminal insertion portion 41, an operator can easily remove lid main body 43 from terminal insertion portion 41 by hooking a finger on finger hook projection 48.

[0072] In particular, in the present embodiment, the peripheral wall 43a of the lid main body 43 is formed in a substantially elliptical shape, and the protrusion 48 is provided on the side surface of the peripheral wall 43a corresponding to the minor axis direction of the ellipse and on the side away from the information display unit 30 (the portion facing downward) so that the finger hook surface 48b faces downward. This allows the worker to more easily remove the lid main body 43 from above the USB charger 40.

[0073] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various design modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a panel-shaped information display unit 30 is used, but the shape of the information display unit is not particularly limited to a panel-shaped one. The information display unit may have various other shapes as long as it has a display surface on the upper surface.

[0074] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the USB charger 40 is used as one form of the power supply unit, but the power supply unit is not limited to the USB charger 40. The power supply unit may be of a different standard in shape and function as long as it is a unit that can supply power to an external device.

[0075] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when lid member 42 is in a fixed state, lid member 42 rotates around support protrusion 37 and is held in a final fixed position, but lid member 42 does not necessarily have to be configured to rotate and be held in a fixed position. For example, lid member 42 may be fixed by being pushed linearly into gap 39.

[0076] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the motorcycle 1 is employed as one form of saddle-ride type vehicle, but saddle-ride type vehicles are not limited to the motorcycle 1. Saddle-ride type vehicles include all vehicles on which a driver straddles the body, and include not only motorcycles (including motorized bicycles and scooter-type vehicles), but also three-wheeled vehicles (including vehicles with one front wheel and two rear wheels, as well as vehicles with two front wheels and one rear wheel) and four-wheeled vehicles (such as four-wheeled buggies).
