Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When the windscreen is enlarged, the wind pressure acting on the windscreen increases. Therefore, in order to ensure the rigidity of the windscreen, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the windscreen itself or to enhance the supporting rigidity of the windscreen. On the other hand, the windscreen is generally made of a transparent molded resin, but as it becomes larger, it tends to be difficult to perform die cutting. Therefore, if an attempt is made to ensure die cutting properties, the shape may become complicated. That is, when the windscreen is enlarged, the support structure or the shape tends to become complicated.

[0005] An object of this disclosure is to provide a motorcycle that can suppress complication of the windscreen shape while ensuring the supporting rigidity of the windscreen even for a large-sized windscreen.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] This disclosure is a center screen disposed at the center in the vehicle width direction of the front part of the vehicle body and having center screen outer parts on both outer sides in the vehicle width direction, and A pair of left and right side screens are positioned on both outer sides in the vehicle width direction relative to the aforementioned center screen, and each side screen has an inner portion at its inner end in the vehicle width direction. It has, The present invention provides a motorcycle in which the outer portion of the center screen and the inner portion of the side screen overlap, at least in part, when viewed from the front of the vehicle. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the motorcycle disclosed herein, the windscreen can be constructed by dividing it into three screen components, including a center screen and a pair of left and right side screens. Therefore, even when the screen is enlarged, the enlargement of each screen component is suppressed, making it easier to ensure moldability. Furthermore, of the outer portion of the center screen and the inner portion of the side screens that overlap in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the one located at the rear is covered by the other located at the front, so it is less likely to be directly subjected to wind pressure. Consequently, the required support rigidity for that one portion is reduced, and the support structure (e.g., fixing structure) can be simplified. Thus, even with an enlarged screen, it is possible to suppress the complexity of the screen shape while ensuring screen support rigidity. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] A motorcycle 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. In the following description, the front-rear direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction as seen from the perspective of the driver riding the motorcycle 1 will be referred to as the front-rear direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction of the motorcycle 1 and its components.

[0010] Figure 1 is a front view of motorcycle 1. As shown in Figure 1, motorcycle 1 has a headlight 2 located at the front of the vehicle body, a headlight cover 3 that covers the area around the headlight 2 from the front, an upper cowl 4 attached to the top of the headlight cover 3, a pair of left and right side cowls 5 attached from both sides of the headlight cover 3 to the sides of the vehicle body, and a transparent windscreen 30 located at the front of the vehicle body. In all figures except Figure 4, the windscreen 30 is shown as transparent, with its outline indicated by a dashed line. In Figure 1, approximately the right half of the upper cowl 4 is omitted.

[0011] The headlight cover 3 covers the headlight 2 from the front, both above, below, left, and right. The upper cowl 4 is located in the center in the vehicle width direction and has a central part 4a that extends approximately horizontally, and a pair of left and right inclined parts 4b that extend upward from both sides of the central part 4a in a direction that slopes outward in the vehicle width direction. The upper end of the central part 4a is at approximately the same height as the grip part 6a of the handlebar 6.

[0012] Figure 2 is a left side view of the front of the motorcycle 1. As shown in Figure 2, the motorcycle 1 further includes a handlebar 6 steered by the driver, a head pipe 7 that rotatably supports the handlebar 6, a meter unit 8 located in front of the head pipe 7 and behind the headlight cover 3, and a meter panel 9 that surrounds the meter unit 8.

[0013] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the area around the windscreen 30, seen from the left rear. As shown in Figure 3, the motorcycle 1 has a headlight stay 10 that is attached to the head pipe 7 (see Figure 2) and extends forward. The headlight 2 (see Figure 1), headlight cover 3, and side cowl 5 (see Figure 2) are attached to the headlight stay 10. At the front end of the headlight stay 10, there is a front headlight stay portion 11 that extends upward between the meter unit 8 (meter panel 9) and the headlight cover 3 in the front-rear direction. The windscreen 30 is attached to the front headlight stay portion 11.

[0014] Referring also to Figure 1, the front part 11 of the headlight stay extends in an inverted U-shape with the bottom open when viewed from the front. As shown in Figure 2, the front part 11 of the headlight stay extends in a direction that slopes upward toward the rear when viewed from the side. As shown in Figure 1, the front part 11 of the headlight stay has a pair of left and right first stay parts 12 that extend along the vertical direction, and a second stay part 13 that connects the upper ends of the pair of left and right first stay parts 12 to the left and right.

[0015] A screen fixing base 14 is attached to each of the left and right first parts 12 of the stays, for example, by welding. A screen bracket 16 is detachably fixed to each of the left and right screen fixing bases 14 by bolt fastening.

[0016] As shown in Figure 3, the screen fixing base 14 is a plate-shaped member that extends forward from the first stay portion 12 and has thickness in the vehicle width direction. The screen fixing base 14 has a plurality of through holes 15 that penetrate in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, four through holes 15 are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction.

[0017] The screen bracket 16 is an L-shaped plate member having a first surface portion 17 that extends in the front-rear direction along the surface on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the screen fixing base 14, and a second surface portion 18 that bends inward in the vehicle width direction from the front end portion of the first surface portion 17 and extends inward in the vehicle width direction. The screen bracket 16 has two first fastened portions 19 on the first surface portion 17. In the present embodiment, the first fastened portion 19 is constituted by a nut welded and fixed to the inner surface in the vehicle width direction of the first surface portion 17 and a through hole formed at a position corresponding to the nut.

[0018] The screen bracket 16 is fixed to the two first fastened portions 19 by bolt fastening from the outside in the vehicle width direction through any two adjacent ones of the four through holes 15 with respect to the screen fixing base 14. That is, by selecting any two adjacent ones from the four through holes 15, the vertical position of the screen bracket 16 with respect to the screen fixing base 14 is changed. Thereby, the vertical position of the windshield 30 fixed to the screen bracket 16 can be changed.

[0019] In the present embodiment, since the screen fixing base 14 has four through holes 15 arranged vertically, the position of the windshield 30 can be adjusted to three different heights by selecting two adjacent through holes 15. In FIGS. 1 to 4, the screen bracket 16 is fixed to two adjacent ones at the lower side among the four through holes 15, and the state where the windshield 30 is fixed at the lowest height position is shown. Each through hole 15 may be a long hole extending in the vertical direction. In this case, fine adjustment of the vertical position of the screen bracket 16 with respect to the screen fixing base 14 becomes possible.

[0020] The screen bracket 16 has two second fastening portions 20 on the second surface portion 18. The center screen 31 of the windscreen 30, which will be described later, is detachably fixed to the second fastening portions 20 by bolt fastening. In this embodiment, the second fastening portions 20 are composed of nuts welded to the rear surface of the second surface portion 18 and through holes formed at positions corresponding to the nuts.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1, the two second fastening portions 20 are aligned vertically, and the second fastening portion 20b, which is located lower than the second fastening portion 20a, is located inward in the vehicle width direction. That is, with respect to the left and right screen brackets 16, the distance in the vehicle width direction between the left and right lower second fastening portions 20b, which are located lower than the distance in the vehicle width direction between the left and right upper second fastening portions 20a, which are located higher up, is shorter.

[0022] Next, the windscreen 30 will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the windscreen 30 is a transparent resin member installed on the front side of the headlight cover 3 to cover the rider on the motorcycle 1 from the front. The windscreen 30 receives the airflow acting on the rider during driving and directs it outward and upward in the vehicle width direction, thereby suppressing the airflow acting on the rider.

[0023] The windscreen 30 includes a center screen 31 located in the center in the vehicle width direction, and a pair of left and right side screens 32 located on both sides of the center screen 31 in the vehicle width direction. The windscreen 30 according to this disclosure is divided into three sections. The center screen 31 is located on the rear side of the upper cowl 4, and the pair of left and right side screens 32 are located on the front side of the upper cowl 4. That is, the upper cowl 4 is sandwiched between the center screen 31 and the pair of left and right side screens 32 in the front-rear direction.

[0024] As shown in Figure 1, in a front view, the side screen 32 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the inner portion 32a of the side screen located above the headlight 2 and towards the outside in the vehicle width direction, and curves backward, covering both sides of the headlight cover 3 from the front and the outside in the vehicle width direction. The inner portion 32a of the side screen extends downward in a direction that slopes inward in the vehicle width direction. The side screen 32 is fixed to the upper cowl 4 at two side screen fixing points 36, one above and one below, from the outer side, i.e., the front side, at the inner portion 32a of the side screen.

[0025] Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view along the line IV-IV in Figure 1, passing through the two upper and lower side screen fixing points 36. As shown in Figure 4, the side screen 32 is bolted to the inclined portion 4b of the upper cowl 4 at the upper side screen fixing point 36a, and bolted to the headlight cover 3 at the lower side screen fixing point 36b, with the inclined portion 4b of the upper cowl 4 sandwiched in between.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1, the line segment L1 connecting the two upper and lower side screen fixing points 36 is inclined downwards inward in the vehicle width direction. The line segment L1 extends substantially parallel to the inner edge 32c of the inner portion 32a of the side screen in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the space defined between the left and right side screens 32, and the space defined between the left and right side screen fixing points 36, narrow downwards in the vehicle width direction.

[0027] As shown in Figure 2, in a side view, the side screen 32 extends in a direction that slopes downward toward the rear. The side screen 32 extends to a position in the longitudinal direction corresponding to the head pipe 7 and also covers the meter panel 9 from the outside in the vehicle width direction. The side screen 32 is fixed to the upper edge of the side cowl 5 at its lower edge 32b by bolt fastening.

[0028] In this embodiment, the side cowl 5 has an upper edge that is inclined upward toward the rear and a second upper wall portion 5b that is continuous with the rear end of the first upper wall portion 5a and inclined downward toward the rear. The side screen 32 is bent so that its lower edge portion 32b protrudes upward along the first upper wall portion 5a and the second upper wall portion 5b, respectively. The side screen 32 is fixed to the first upper wall portion 5a and the second upper wall portion 5b at the lower edge portion 32b by fastening one bolt each from above. Since the lower edge portion 32b of the side screen 32 is fixed to the first upper wall portion 5a and the second upper wall portion 5b, which have different inclination directions with respect to the front-rear direction, the mounting rigidity is higher compared to when it is fixed on the same plane.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1, the center screen 31 is formed in an arc shape with a cross-section that is convex forward along the horizontal direction. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the center screen 31 extends in an arc shape so as to generally follow the extension of the curve of the pair of left and right side screens 32.

[0030] The center screen 31 has two through holes 31a located approximately in the center in the vertical direction, one row on each side of the center line in the vehicle width direction. The center screen 31 is fixed to the second fastening portion 20 of each of the left and right screen brackets 16 by bolt fastening from the front side through the two rows of two through holes 31a located vertically. Therefore, in this embodiment, of the windscreens 30, only the center screen 31 is configured to have its vertical position changed, while the vertical position of the side screens 32 is fixed.

[0031] The center screen 31 does not have through holes formed in the outer portions 31b of the center screen, which are on both sides in the vehicle width direction, and is not fixed to any other member. Therefore, the outer portions 31b of the center screen are supported in a cantilevered manner with respect to the fixing portion to the second fastening portion 20 via the through hole 31a in the central part.

[0032] As described above, in the state shown in Figure 1, that is, when the height position of the center screen 31 is at its lowest, the center screen 31 has a first center screen portion 33 located between the left and right side screen fixing points 36, and a second center screen portion 34 located above the first center screen portion 33. The second center screen portion 34 is wider in the vehicle width direction than the first center screen portion 33. A pair of left and right center screen stepped portions 35 extending in the vehicle width direction are formed between the first center screen portion 33 and the second center screen portion 34.

[0033] The first portion 33 of the center screen gradually decreases in width in the vehicle width direction towards the bottom. Specifically, both side edges 33a of the first portion 33 of the center screen in the vehicle width direction are inclined inward in the vehicle width direction towards the bottom. This prevents the side edges 33a from interfering with fastening members such as fastening bolts inserted into the side screen fixing points 36, even if the center screen 31 is moved in the vertical direction. In the state shown in Figure 1, the first portion 33 of the center screen is almost entirely covered from the front by the upper cowl 4 and is hardly visible from the outside.

[0034] The second center screen portion 34 has a widest portion 34a at its lower end, and its width in the vehicle width direction gradually decreases upward from the widest portion 34a. The portion of the widest portion 34a of the second center screen portion 34 that is located outside the side screen fixing point 36 in the vehicle width direction is located behind the inner portion 32a of the side screen. More specifically, the portion of the outer center screen portion 31b corresponding to the widest portion 34a and the portion of the inner side screen portion 32a located above the side screen fixing point 36 overlap when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Therefore, at least a portion of the outer center screen portion 31b and the inner side screen portion 32a overlap when viewed from the front of the vehicle.

[0035] The center screen step 35 is the portion corresponding to the lower edge of the wide portion 34a of the outer portion 31b of the center screen. As shown in Figure 1, when the center screen 31 is in its lowest position, the center screen step 35 is located behind the inner portion 32a of the side screen. In other words, the center screen step 35 overlaps the inner portion 32a of the side screen when viewed from the front of the vehicle. That is, the center screen step 35 does not appear on the outer edge of the windscreen 30.

[0036] Figure 5 is a front view similar to Figure 1, but with the position of the screen bracket 16 relative to the screen fixing base 14 changed to show the center screen 31 at its highest position. As shown in Figure 5, with the center screen 31 at its highest position, the center screen step 35, at least the portion located on the outer side in the vehicle width direction, is still located behind the inner portion 32a of the side screen and does not appear on the outer edge of the windscreen 30. On the other hand, the portion of the center screen step 35 that is located inward in the vehicle width direction from the inner portion 32a of the side screen is located behind the upper cowl 4. The entire center screen step 35 may be located behind the inner portion 32a of the side screen. Also, both side edges 33a and the lower edge 33b of the first portion 33 of the center screen are covered from the front by the upper cowl 4 and are not visible. In other words, when the center screen 31 is in its innermost position, the portion of its outer edge located closer to the center in the vehicle width direction is covered from the front by the upper cowl 4, and the portion of its outer edge located closer to the outside in the vehicle width direction is covered from the front by the inner portion 32a of the side screen.

[0037] In other words, regardless of the height position of the center screen 31, the side edges 33a and the lower edge 33b of the first part 33 of the center screen are not visible externally, and the stepped portion 35 of the center screen is not visible on the outer edge of the windscreen 30. For this reason, in this embodiment, the parts of the center screen 31 that are not visible externally or on the outer edge, namely the side edges 33a and the lower edge 33b of the first part 33 of the center screen and the stepped portion 35 of the center screen, are not rounded (also called beaded edge processing) on ​​the outer edge. This makes it easier to manufacture the center screen 31. In particular, when the center screen 31 is resin-molded, it is easier to ensure a draft angle compared to when beaded edge processing is applied around the entire circumference of the edge.

[0038] The motorcycle 1 described herein provides the following effects:

[0039] (1) Motorcycle 1 is, A center screen 31 is located in the center of the front of the vehicle body in the width direction, and each of the outer sides in the width direction has an outer center screen portion 31b, A pair of left and right side screens 32 are positioned on both outer sides in the vehicle width direction relative to the center screen 31, and each side screen has an inner portion 32a at its inner end in the vehicle width direction. It has, The outer portion 31b of the center screen and the inner portion 32a of the side screen overlap, at least partially, when viewed from the front of the vehicle.

[0040] According to this configuration, the windscreen 30 can be divided into three screen components, including a center screen 31 and a pair of left and right side screens 32. Therefore, even if the windscreen 30 is enlarged, the enlargement of each screen component is suppressed, making it easier to ensure moldability. Furthermore, of the outer center screen portion 31b and inner side screen portions 32a that overlap in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the outer center screen portion 31b, which is located at the rear, is covered by the inner side screen portion 32a, which is located at the front, so it is less likely to be directly subjected to wind pressure. Consequently, the required support rigidity of the center screen 31 is reduced, allowing for a simplification of the support structure (e.g., a fixed structure).

[0041] (2) The center screen 31 is adjustable in the vertical direction. With this configuration, the vertical position of the center screen 31 can be changed according to the vehicle's driving conditions and the driver's wishes.

[0042] (3) The side screen 32 has side screen fixing points 36 that are fixed to the vehicle body, The center screen 31 is A first portion 33 of the center screen extends in the vehicle width direction between the left and right side screen fixing points 36, A second center screen portion 34 is located above the first center screen portion 33, and both sides in the vehicle width direction protrude outward in the vehicle width direction beyond the side screen fixing points 36. On both sides in the vehicle width direction, a pair of left and right center screen stepped portions 35 are defined between the first center screen portion 33 and the second center screen portion 34. It has, Regardless of the vertical position of the center screen 31, the left and right stepped portions 35 overlap the left and right inner portions 32a of the left and right side screens when viewed from the front of the vehicle, at least the portion located towards the outer side in the vehicle width direction.

[0043] According to this configuration, when the outer portion 31b of the center screen and the inner portion 32a of the side screen are configured to overlap when viewed from the front of the vehicle, and the center screen 31 is configured to be able to change its vertical position, and a side screen fixing point 36 is provided on the inner portion 32a of the side screen, a center screen step 35 may be formed on the outer portion 31b of the center screen. In this case, the center screen step 35 does not protrude from the side screen 32 regardless of the vertical position of the center screen 31, so the deterioration of appearance caused by the center screen step 35 is suppressed. Furthermore, since there is no sense of danger from the center screen step 35, there is no need to provide a beaded edge on the center screen step 35 to reduce the sense of danger.

[0044] (4) Regardless of the vertical position of the center screen 31, the vehicle further has an upper cowl 4 that covers the lower part of the center screen 31 from the front. With this configuration, even if the vertical position of the center screen 31 is changed, the lower part of the center screen 31 is visually hidden by the upper cowl 4. Therefore, even if the vertical position of the center screen 31 is changed, the upper cowl 4 prevents the side edges 33a and the lower edge 33b of the first part 33 of the center screen from being visible, thus suppressing deterioration of appearance.

[0045] (5) Handlebar 6 and The head pipe 7 further has a handlebar 6 that is rotatably supported, The pair of side screens 32 have their rear ends overlapping the head pipe 7 when viewed from the side of the vehicle. With this configuration, the wind protection effect is easily enhanced by the enlarged side screens 32 in the front-to-back direction.

[0046] (6) The outer portion 31b of the center screen is located behind the inner portion 32a of the side screen, at least in the stepped portion 35 of the center screen. In this configuration, the outer portion 31b of the center screen is covered from the front by the inner portion 32a of the side screen, at least at the stepped portion 35 of the center screen. As a result, the wind pressure that can act on the outer portion 31b of the center screen is reduced, so the number of fixed points on the outer portion 31b of the center screen can be reduced. As a result, the center screen 31 is simplified, resulting in improved visibility.

[0047] (7) The first part 33 of the center screen decreases in the width direction of the vehicle as it goes downwards. According to this configuration, even if multiple fixing points 36 for the left and right side screens are provided vertically on the inner portions 32a of the left and right side screens, and the dimension in the vehicle width direction between these points decreases downwards, the center screen 31 can be positioned between the left and right side screen fixing points 36.

[0048] The motorcycle 1 relating to this disclosure is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the height position of the center screen 31 can be changed by changing the fastening position of the screen bracket 16 to the screen fixing base 14, but the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the height position of the center screen 31 can be changed by changing the screen bracket 16 to a screen bracket in which the height position of the second fastening portion 20 relative to the first fastening portion 19 is changed.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the case in which the height position of the center screen 31 is changed was described as an example, but the center screen 31 does not necessarily have to be able to change its position. That is, the structure according to this disclosure can also be applied to a center screen 31 whose position in the height direction is fixed and cannot be changed. Even in this case, the support structure for the rear-facing member can be simplified by configuring the inner portion 32a of the side screen and the outer portion 31b of the center screen to overlap at least a part of them when viewed from the front of the vehicle.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the case in which the upper cowl 4 is located between the center screen 31 and the side screen 32 was described as an example, but it is not limited to this. For example, as long as the upper cowl 4 is located in front of the center screen 31, the side screen 32 may be located behind the upper cowl 4.

[0052] Furthermore, to prevent the center screen step 35 from detracting from the appearance, the side screens 32 may be positioned behind the center screen 31, as shown in Figure 6. Even in this case, the center screen step 35 will not appear on the outer edge of the windscreen 30. In this case, the center screen 31, located at the front, may be fixed to the vehicle body at the outer portion 31b of the center screen, while the fixing structure for the side screens 32, located at the rear, may be further modified to simplify the fixing structure at the inner portion 32a of the side screen.
