DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The cowl mounting structure according to the embodiment will be described below. The cowl mounting structure is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle is, for example, a straddle-type vehicle such as a motorcycle that is driven by a rider straddling a seat.

[0010] <About motorcycles> An example of a motorcycle equipped with a cowl mounting structure will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic side view showing a cowl mounting structure 30 according to an embodiment and a motorcycle 10 equipped with the same. The motorcycle 10 includes a vehicle body 11, a front wheel 14, a rear wheel 16, a handle device 18, and a cowl mounting structure 30. In the following description, when referring to up / down, front / rear, and left / right, each direction is defined as follows. First, the side where the front wheel 14 and the rear wheel 16 of the motorcycle 10 contact the road surface is the bottom, and the opposite side to the bottom is the top. In addition, the traveling direction when the motorcycle 10 travels is the front, and the opposite side to the front is the rear. Furthermore, when a rider is riding on the motorcycle 10, the left and right with respect to the rider are the left and right of the motorcycle 10. In this embodiment, the left and right direction may be described as the vehicle width direction (the width direction of the vehicle body 11).

[0011] The vehicle body 11 includes a frame 12, a steering shaft 13a, an upper bracket 13b, an under bracket 13c, and a front fork 13d. The frame 12 includes a head pipe 12a and a main frame 12b. The head pipe 12a is located at the front of the frame 12. The main frame 12b extends rearward from the head pipe 12a while splitting into left and right parts.

The cross-sectional views of Figs. 5 and 6 are cross-sectional views taken along the line VV in Fig. 3.

[0017] The cowl mounting structure 30 is a structure for mounting a cowl 60 to the vehicle body 11. The cowl mounting structure 30 includes a stay 32, a lamp support 40, a headlamp 50, a cowl 60, and a windshield 70. In this embodiment, the cowl 60 is a separate part from the lamp support 40.

[0018] The stay 32 is fixed to the vehicle body 11. The stay 32 is provided so as to move integrally with the front fork 13d. The stay 32 is fixed to a portion that rotates with the front fork when steering. The stay 32 rotates relative to the frame 12 when the steering is performed by the handle device 18. For example, the stay 32 includes an upper portion 32a extending along the upper bracket 13b, a lower portion 32b extending along the under bracket 13c, and a connecting portion 32c connecting the upper portion 32a and the lower portion 32b. For example, the upper portion 32a is fixed to the upper bracket 13b by a fastening member such as a screw or a rivet, and the lower portion 32b is fixed to the under bracket 13c by a fastening member such as a screw or a rivet. The upper portion 32a and the lower portion 32b extend in the vehicle width direction. The connecting portion 32c extends in the up-down direction along the front fork 13d. The connecting portion 32c connects one end of the upper portion 32a and the lower portion 32b in the vehicle width direction and also connects the other end of the upper portion 32a and the lower portion 32b. A first bearing portion 32d that supports the lamp support 40 is provided on the connecting portion 32c. For example, a metal pipe and a metal plate that have been bent are integrated by welding or the like to form the stay 32. For example, a through hole is formed in the metal plate to serve as the first bearing portion 32d.

[0019] The lamp support 40 is supported so as to be angle adjustable around a first aiming axis extending in a first direction relative to the stay 32. The lamp support 40 supports the headlamp 50 so as to be angle adjustable around a second aiming axis extending in a second direction. This allows the headlamp 50 to be angle adjustable around two axes, the first aiming axis and the second aiming axis, relative to the stay 32 fixed to the vehicle body 11. The angle adjustment around the first aiming axis is performed by operating the first aiming bolt B1. The angle adjustment around the second aiming axis is performed by operating the second aiming bolt B2. The first direction and the second direction are different directions from each other and are directions that are predetermined for the vehicle body 11. Here, the first direction is the direction in which the pair of front forks are aligned. The first direction corresponds to the width direction of the vehicle body 11 when the vehicle is in a straight-ahead state. The second direction changes depending on the angle of the lamp support. The second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The second direction becomes the up-down direction when the lamp support is angularly displaced so that the optical axis of the headlamp extends horizontally. The first aiming axis is an axis along which the headlamp 50 pivots up and down, and the second aiming axis is an axis along which the headlamp 50 pivots left and right. In this embodiment, the lamp support 40 includes a first supporting part 42, a second supporting part 44, and a fixed bracket 45. In this embodiment, the first supporting part 42, the second supporting part 44, and the fixed bracket 45 are separate parts from each other.

[0020] The first support component 42 is supported so as to be angle adjustable with respect to the stay 32. The first support component 42 has a first support component main body 42a, a first swing support portion 42b, a first bolt fastening portion 42c, and a second support component fixing portion 42d.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first support component body 42a is formed in a cylindrical shape and has a front opening 42a1 and a rear opening 42a2. The front part of the headlamp 50 is exposed forward from the front opening 42a1. The wiring W of the headlamp 50 is drawn out from the rear opening 42a2. For example, the first support component body 42a is formed in a shape corresponding to the headlamp 50. Here, the headlamp 50 has a circular shape when viewed from the front, so the first support component body 42a is formed in a cylindrical shape. Also, here, the rear opening 42a2 is smaller than the front opening 42a1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first support component body 42a is formed in a truncated conical cylindrical shape having openings at the front and rear. However, the first support component body 42a does not need to be formed in a truncated conical cylindrical shape having openings at the front and rear, and can be formed in any shape. For example, the first support component body may be formed in a cylindrical shape in which a uniform shape continues in the axial direction, or may be formed in a cage shape with a through hole in the radial direction.

[0022] The first swing support portion 42b is a portion supported to be swingable around a first aiming axis with respect to the stay 32. A pair of the first swing support portions 42b are provided. The pair of first swing support portions 42b are arranged on the first support component body 42a at an interval in the first direction. The stay 32 includes a pair of first bearing portions 32d corresponding to the pair of first swing support portions 42b. The left connecting portion 32c and the right connecting portion 32c are provided with the first bearing portions 32d, respectively, to form a pair of first bearing portions 32d. The corresponding first bearing portion 32d and the first swing support portion 42b are connected by a first pivot pin P1, so that the first swing support portion 42b is swingably supported by the first bearing portion 32d. For example, the first bearing portion 32d has a through hole formed in the stay 32. The first swing support portion 42b has a through hole formed in the first support component body 42a and a grommet fitted into the through hole. The grommet has a rubber cylinder and a metal pipe fitted into the cylinder. The axial direction of the through hole of the first support component body 42a, the axial direction of the cylinder, and the axial direction of the metal pipe are the same. A nut is fixed to one end of the metal pipe. The stay 32 is located at the other end of the metal pipe. A bolt serving as a first pivot pin P1 is inserted into the metal pipe from the outside of the stay 32 and is screwed into the nut.

Two of the four cowl fixing portions 44c, 44c1, are located above the center of the annular portion 44a, and the other two cowl fixing portions 44c2 are located below the center of the annular portion 44a. The four cowl fixing portions 44c are provided at the same positions as the four first support component fixing portions 44b in the circumferential direction of the annular portion 44a.

[0029] The second head support portion 44d is a portion that supports the head B2a of the second aiming bolt B2. A through hole is formed in the annular portion 44a as the second head support portion 44d. The through hole is equal to or larger than the bolt portion of the second aiming bolt B2 and smaller than the head B2a of the second aiming bolt B2. The second aiming bolt B2 is inserted into the through hole from the front of the second head support portion 44d. The second head support portion 44d is located between the two cowl fixing portions 44c on the left side of the annular portion 44a.

[0030] The second bearing portion 44e supports the headlamp 50. The second bearing portion 44e protrudes rearward from the inner surface of the annular portion 44a. A pair of the second bearing portions 44e is provided. The pair of second bearing portions 44e are arranged apart in the up-down direction. The upper second bearing portion 44e of the pair of second bearing portions 44e is located between the upper two cowl fixing portions 44c along the circumferential direction of the annular portion 44a, and is located in the narrower space. The lower second bearing portion 44e of the pair of second bearing portions 44e is located between the lower two cowl fixing portions 44c along the circumferential direction of the annular portion 44a, and is located in the narrower space.

[0031] The window portion 44a2 is a portion where a part of the inner edge portion 44a1 of the annular portion 44a is recessed. The window portion 44a2 exposes the frame fixing portion 55c of the headlamp 50 to the front.

[0032] The wrap piece 44f protrudes forward from the bent portion of the annular portion 44a. The wrap piece 44f extends annularly around the headlamp 50, similar to the annular portion 44a. As shown in Fig. 5, the amount of protrusion of an upper portion of the wrap piece 44f is greater than the amount of protrusion of a lower portion thereof.

[0033] The fixed bracket 45 has a first head support portion 45a and a stay fixing portion 45b.

[0034] The first head support portion 45a supports the head B1a of the first aiming bolt B1. A through hole penetrating the fixed bracket 45 is formed as the first head support portion 45a. The through hole is the same as or larger than the bolt portion of the first aiming bolt B1 and smaller than the head B1a of the first aiming bolt B1. The first aiming bolt B1 is inserted into the through hole from the front of the first head support portion 45a. The first head support portion 45a is located in front of and below the first bolt fastening portion 42c.

[0035] The stay fixing portion 45b is a portion fixed to the stay 32. The stay fixing portion 45b extends downward from the first head support portion 45a. The stay fixing portion 45b is fixed to the lower portion 32b of the stay 32 by a screw, a rivet, or the like. A plurality of stay fixing portions 45b may be provided. This suppresses rotation of the fixed bracket 45. For example, the stay fixing portion 45b and the stay 32 may be fixed together to the under bracket 13c. Portions where the lower portion 32b of the stay 32 and the under bracket 13c are fixed without the fixed bracket 45 are located on both sides of the stay fixing portion 45b.

[0036] The lamp support 40 and the stay 32 are connected via a first aiming bolt B1 and a first coil spring S1.

The first coil spring S1 biases the first bolt fastening portion 42c and the first head support portion 45a in opposite directions along the axial direction of the first aiming bolt B1. When the first aiming bolt B1 is not being operated, the first coil spring S1 suppresses changes in the fastening position of the first aiming bolt B1 in the first bolt fastening portion 42c.

[0038] The headlamp 50 is supported by the lamp support 40. The headlamp 50 includes a light source 51, a reflector 52, a lens 53, and an annular frame 55. The headlamp 50 is not particularly limited, and any known headlamp can be used. For example, the headlamp 50 is described here as a reflector-type headlamp that reflects light emitted from the light source 51 with the reflector 52 and irradiates the light forward, but a projector-type headlamp that collects light emitted from the light source 51 with a lens and irradiates the light forward may also be used as the headlamp.

[0039] The light source 51 is, for example, an LED (light emitting diode). A wire W that supplies power to the LED extends from the headlamp 50 to the outside. The wire W extends from the rear opening 42a2 of the first support component 42 to the outside of the first support component 42 and is connected to a power source such as the battery 24. The light source 51 does not need to be an LED, and a halogen lamp or the like may be used.

[0040] The reflector 52 reflects light from the light source 51 forward. The lens 53 is located in front of the light source 51. The lens 53 transmits light emitted forward from the light source 51 and light reflected forward by the reflector 52. The reflector 52 and the lens 53 are arranged separately in the front-rear direction. The reflector 52 and the lens 53 may be engaged with each other via an engagement portion, for example. Here, in the headlamp 50, a portion including the engagement portion between the reflector 52 and the lens 53 is a flange 54 that extends annularly on the radially outer side.

[0041] The annular frame 55 holds the flange 54, which includes the locking portion of the reflector 52 and the lens 53, from the front-rear direction. The annular frame 55 includes two members 55a and 55b separated in the front-rear direction. The two members 55a and 55b are fixed by a frame fixing portion 55c. The annular frame 55 has a second swing support portion 55d and a second bolt fastening portion 55e.

[0042] A plurality of frame fixing portions 55c are formed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the annular frame 55. Two members 55a, 55b constituting the annular frame 55 are fixed by bolts, rivets, or the like fastened to the frame fixing portions 55c.

[0043] The second swing support portion 55d is a portion supported to be swingable around the second aiming axis with respect to the lamp support 40. A pair of second swing support portions 55d are provided. The pair of second swing support portions 55d are arranged on the annular frame 55 with a gap in the second direction (vertical direction). The lamp support 40 includes a pair of second bearing portions 44e corresponding to the pair of second swing support portions 55d. The corresponding second bearing portion 44e and the second swing support portion 55d are connected by a second rotation pin P2, so that the second swing support portion 55d is swingably supported by the second bearing portion 44e. For example, the second bearing portion 44e has a first protruding piece protruding rearward from the annular portion 44a and a second protruding piece facing the first protruding piece with a gap in the second direction (vertical direction). Through holes are formed at corresponding positions of the first protruding piece and the second protruding piece. The second swing support part 55d has a protruding piece protruding rearward from the annular frame 55, a through hole formed in the protruding piece, and a grommet fitted into the through hole. The grommet has a rubber cylindrical body and a metal pipe fitted into the cylindrical body. The axial direction of the through hole in the protruding piece, the axial direction of the cylindrical body, and the axial direction of the metal pipe are the same. A nut is fixed to the outer surface of the first protruding piece. The second swing support part 55d is located between the first protruding piece and the second protruding piece. A bolt serving as a second pivot pin P2 is inserted into the metal pipe from the outside of the second protruding piece and screwed into the nut.

[0044] The second bolt fastening portion 55e is a portion to which the tip end of the second aiming bolt B2 is fastened. The second bolt fastening portion 55e is located between the pair of second swing support portions 55d in the circumferential direction of the annular frame 55. Here, the second bolt fastening portion 55e protrudes rearward from the annular frame 55. The second aiming bolt B2 extends forward from the second bolt fastening portion 55e.

[0045] The second head support portion 44d and the second bearing portion 44e function as a lamp connection portion that supports the headlamp 50 so as to be angle adjustable around a second aiming axis that extends in a second direction different from the first direction.

[0046] The headlamp 50 and the lamp support 40 are connected via a second aiming bolt B2 and a second coil spring S2. The second bolt fastening portion 55e and the second head support portion 44d function as a second setting portion that sets the amount of swing of the headlamp 50 relative to the lamp support 40 around the second aiming axis.

[0047] Specifically, the tip of the bolt portion of the second aiming bolt B2 is fastened to the second bolt fastening portion 55e, and the head B2a of the second aiming bolt B2 is supported by the second head support portion 44d. The second bolt fastening portion 55e moves integrally with the head lamp 50, and the second head support portion 44d moves integrally with the lamp support body 40. The second aiming bolt B2 extending in a direction intersecting the second direction (vertical direction) is operated to change the fastening position of the second aiming bolt B2 in the second bolt fastening portion 55e, thereby changing the distance between the second bolt fastening portion 55e and the second head support portion 44d, and the lamp support body 40 swings around the second aiming axis relative to the stay 32. In addition, the portion of the bolt portion of the second aiming bolt B2 between the second bolt fastening portion 55e and the second head support portion 44d is passed through the second coil spring S2. One end of the second coil spring S2 is supported by the second bolt fastening portion 55e, and the other end is supported by the second head support portion 44d. The second coil spring S2 biases the second bolt fastening portion 55e and the second head support portion 44d in opposite directions along the axial direction of the second aiming bolt B2. When the second aiming bolt B2 is not being operated, the second coil spring S2 suppresses changes in the fastening position of the second aiming bolt B2 in the second bolt fastening portion 55e.

[0048] The cowl 60 is fixed to the lamp support 40. The cowl 60 covers the outer periphery of the headlamp 50. The cowl 60 may be a design part constituting the outer shell of the vehicle. The cowl 60 includes a cover portion 60a, a rearward extending portion 60b, a support fixing portion 60c, a windshield fixing portion 60d, and a wrap piece 60e. In this embodiment, the cowl 60 is disposed forward of the front fork. Also, it covers at least a part of the lamp support 40, specifically, from the outer side in the vehicle width direction. Also, in this embodiment, the cowl 60 covers the stay 32 from the outer side in the vehicle width direction.

[0049] The cover portion 60a covers the annular portion 44a from the front. An inner edge portion 60a1 of the cover portion 60a protrudes radially inward beyond an inner edge portion 44a1 of the annular portion 44a.

[0050] The rearward extending portion 60b extends rearward from the outer edge of the cover portion 60a. The rearward extending portion 60b covers the outer periphery of the lamp support 40. Therefore, the rearward extending portion 60b covers the outer periphery of the headlamp 50 on the outside of the lamp support 40. The rearward extending portion 60b has a stay covering portion 60b1. The stay covering portion 60b1 covers a portion of the stay 32 that supports the lamp support 40 around the first aiming axis (here, the first bearing portion 32d) from the outside along the first direction. Therefore, the cowl 60 covers at least the first swing support portion 42b from the outside along the first direction.

[0051] The cowl 60 has recesses 60f, 60g formed in the upper portion. A windshield 70 is disposed in the recesses 60f, 60g. The cowl 60 also has recesses 60f, 60g formed on both sides. For example, the direction indicator 19b extending in the vehicle width direction protrudes outward from the cowl 60 through the recesses 60f, 60g.

[0052] A head exposure hole 60h is formed in the cowl 60. The head exposure hole 60h is located in front of the second aiming bolt B2 along the extension direction of the second aiming bolt B2. Here, the head exposure hole 60h is located radially outward of the inner edge portion 60a1 of the cover portion 60a. The head exposure hole 60h is located near the intersection of the cover portion 60a and the rearward extension portion 60b. The head exposure hole 60h is a through hole for exposing the head B2a of the second aiming bolt B2. An operator can adjust the angle around the second aiming axis by inserting an adjustment tool into the head exposure hole 60h and operating the head B2a of the second aiming bolt B2.

[0053] The support fixing portion 60c is a portion fixed to the lamp support 40. The support fixing portion 60c is fixed to the cowl fixing portion 44c of the second support part 44. Four support fixing portions 60c are provided on the cowl 60 to correspond to the four cowl fixing portions 44c of the second support part 44. The four corresponding pairs of cowl fixing portions 44c and support fixing portions 60c are fastened and fixed by screws SC, rivets, or the like. The upper two support fixing portions 60c1 of the four support fixing portions 60c are fixed together with the windshield 70. The lower two support fixing portions 60c2 of the four support fixing portions 60c are not fixed together with the windshield 70.

[0054] The windshield fixing portion 60d is a portion to which the windshield 70 is fixed. The windshield fixing portion 60d is provided at a position rearward of the two support body fixing portions 60c1 above the center of the headlamp 50. Here, the windshield 70 is also fixed to the two support body fixing portions 60c1. Therefore, the support body fixing portion 60c1 also serves as a windshield fixing portion. The two support body fixing portions 60c1 and the two windshield fixing portions 60d are located on the periphery of the recess 60f.

[0055] The wrap piece 60e protrudes rearward from the middle of the cover portion 60a. The wrap piece 60e of the cover portion 60a extends in an annular shape around the headlamp 50, similar to the wrap piece 44f of the second support part 44. The wrap piece 44f of the second support part 44 and the wrap piece 60e of the cowl 60 overlap in the radial direction to form a wrap portion WR. Here, the wrap piece 60e of the cowl 60 is closer to the headlamp 50 than the wrap piece 44f of the second support part 44. The presence of the wrap portion WR formed by these wrap pieces 44f, 60e prevents the light of the headlamp 50 from leaking rearward from the gap between the second support part 44 and the cowl 60.

[0056] More specifically, these wrap pieces 44f, 60e block the light of the headlamp 50 that is about to enter the gap between the second support part 44 and the cowl 60. In addition, a gap is generated between these wrap pieces 44f, 60e. However, even if the light of the headlamp 50 is reflected by the second support part 44 or the cowl 60, etc. and enters the gap between these wrap pieces 44f, 60e, the presence of the wrap portion WR requires more reflection for the light to reach the rear. In particular, since the wrap piece 60e of the cowl 60 is closer to the headlamp 50 than the wrap piece 44f of the second support part 44, the gap between the tip of the wrap piece 44f of the second support part 44 and the cowl 60 is located forward of the gap between the tip of the wrap piece 60e of the cowl 60 and the second support part 44, and is located at a position radially farther from the headlamp 50. For this reason, light that passes through the gap between the tip of the wrap piece 44f of the second support part 44 and the cowl 60 must first head forward and then pass through the gap between the tip of the wrap piece 60e of the cowl 60 and the second support part 44 before heading rearward, requiring more reflections before reaching the rear. The increased number of reflections increases the amount of light attenuation, making it difficult for strong light to reach the rear.

[0057] As described above, here, the protrusion amount of the portion of the wrap piece 44f above the headlamp 50 is greater than the protrusion amount of the portion below the headlamp 50. This makes it more difficult for the light of the headlamp 50 to leak backward above the headlamp 50. This makes it easier to prevent the light of the headlamp 50 from leaking backward and reaching the driver's field of vision. Similarly, the protrusion amount of the wrap piece 60e above the headlamp 50 may be greater than the protrusion amount of the portion below the headlamp 50. Similarly, the wrap length of the wrap portion WR above the headlamp 50 in the front-rear direction may be longer than the wrap length of the wrap portion below the headlamp 50 in the front-rear direction. The wrap pieces 44f, 60e may protrude by a constant protrusion amount along the circumferential direction.

[0058] The windshield 70 is a separate part from the cowl 60. The windshield 70 blocks wind blowing from the front to the rear of the motorcycle 10. For example, the windshield 70 is disposed in front of the instruments 19a supported by the upper bracket 13b. The windshield 70 includes a windshield main body 70a, an outer edge 70b, and a cowl fixing portion 70c.

[0059] The windshield main body 70a is located in the recess 60f of the cowl 60. In the windshield main body 70a, a central portion along the vehicle width direction is located higher than both side edges along the vehicle width direction. In addition, in the windshield main body 70a, a rear portion along the front-rear direction is located higher than a front portion along the front-rear direction.

[0060] The outer edge portion 70b extends outward from the outer edge of the windshield main body portion 70a. Here, the outer edge portion 70b extends forward and to both sides from the windshield main body portion 70a. The outer edge portion 70b overlaps with the peripheral edge of the recessed portion 60f in the cowl 60. The outer edge portion 70b is closer to the headlamp 50 in the radial direction than the peripheral edge of the recessed portion 60f in the cowl 60.

[0061] The cowl fixing portion 70c is a portion fixed to the cowl 60. Here, four cowl fixing portions 70c are provided. The four cowl fixing portions 70c are located at the outer edge portion 70b. In this embodiment, the windshield 70 is fixed to the cowl fixing portion 44c of the lamp support body 40 together with the cowl 60 at at least one point. The four cowl fixing portions 70c have two cowl fixing portions 70c1 and two cowl fixing portions 70c2. The two cowl fixing portions 70c1 are located forward of the two cowl fixing portions 70c2. The cowl fixing portion 70c1 is fixed together with the support body fixing portion 60c1 of the cowl 60 and the cowl fixing portion 70c of the lamp support body 40 by a screw SC or a rivet. The two cowl fixing portions 70c2 are fixed to the windshield fixing portion 60d of the cowl 60. The cowl fixing portion 70c2 and the windshield fixing portion 60d are not fixed together with the lamp support 40.

[0062] The annular portion 44a includes a portion that is thicker than the cowl 60. As a result, even if the cowl 60 is relatively thin, the cowl 60 can be reinforced by the annular portion 44a. As a result, it is possible to achieve both an improvement in the appearance of the cowl 60 by reducing the thickness of the cowl 60 and an improvement in the support strength of the cowl 60 by the annular portion 44a. In general, when an injection molded resin part is made thick, it is likely to cause a deterioration in aesthetics during molding. In contrast, in the present disclosure, the thick annular portion 44a is covered from the front by the cover portion 60a of the cowl 60, so that the effect of the deterioration in aesthetics can be prevented. Similarly, the windshield 70 has a portion that is thicker than the cowl 60. As a result, even if the cowl 60 is relatively thin, the cowl 60 can be reinforced by the windshield 70. For example, a thick portion may be provided on the outer edge portion 70b that is closer to the headlamp 50 along the radial direction than the peripheral portion of the recess 60f in the cowl 60.

[0063] According to the cowl mounting structure 30 configured as above, the lamp support 40 supporting the headlamp 50 and the cowl 60 are fixed together, so that the relative positional deviation between the headlamp 50 and the cowl 60 can be prevented compared to the case where the headlamp 50 and the cowl 60 are supported and fixed at different positions. This can reduce the mounting error between the cowl 60 and the headlamp 50, and improve the design. In addition, compared to the case where the headlamp 50 is displaced relative to the cowl 60, in this embodiment, the headlamp 50 and the cowl 60 are displaced together when adjusting the optical axis in the vertical direction, so that the clearance for preventing interference between the cowl 60 and the headlamp 50 caused by the vertical adjustment for adjusting the optical axis of the headlamp 50 can be reduced. In addition, since the cowl 60 is fixed to the lamp support 40, a dedicated bracket for fixing the cowl 60 to the vehicle body 11 can be eliminated. In addition, in the present disclosure, the cowl 60 itself is angularly displaced with respect to the vehicle body 11 together with the headlamp 50. Even in this case, in order to prevent the cowl 60 from interfering with other parts, gaps that allow the relative movement are formed between the cowl 60 and other parts around the cowl 60 that move relative to the cowl 60 during angle adjustment (for example, the cover parts in front of the instruments 19a and the turn signals 19b, etc.).

[0064] In addition, in the present disclosure, the cowl 60 and the windshield 70 are fixed to the lamp support 40, and the stay 32 does not directly support the cowl 60 and the windshield 70. Therefore, the structure of the stay 32 can be simplified compared to a stay that supports the cowl and the windshield.

[0065] The stay 32 supports the lamp support 40 so that the angle can be adjusted around the first aiming axis, and the lamp support 40 includes a pair of first swing support parts 42b spaced apart in the first direction, and a first bolt fastening part 42c and a first head support part 45a as setting parts for setting the amount of swing around the first aiming axis. As a result, the headlamp 50 and the cowl 60 swing together around the first aiming axis, so that the gap between the headlamp 50 and the cowl 60 along the first direction can be reduced. The cowl 60 also has a stay cover part 60b1 that covers at least the first swing support part 42b from the outside along the first direction. As a result, the first swing support part 42b is hidden by the cowl 60, so that the design can be improved.

[0066] The lamp support 40 also includes a second head support portion 44d and a second bearing portion 44e as lamp connection portions that support the headlamp 50 so that the angle can be adjusted around the second aiming axis. This allows the angle of the headlamp 50 to be adjusted around two axes, the first aiming axis and the second aiming axis. In addition, since the first direction extends in the width direction of the vehicle body 11, impacts in the up-down direction, which tend to be larger than those in the left-right direction, can be supported by the pair of left and right first swing support portions 42b, making it easy to increase the support rigidity.

[0067] The cowl 60 includes a cover portion 60a that covers from the front the annular portion 44a of the lamp support 40. With this, the cover portion 60a covers the annular portion 44a, so that the cowl 60 and the headlamp 50 can be disposed close to each other and the gap between the cowl 60 and the headlamp 50 can be reduced.

[0068] In addition, the annular portion 44a of the lamp support 40 includes a portion that is thicker than the cowl 60. This allows the cowl 60 to be reinforced by the annular portion 44a.

[0069] In addition, the cowl 60 is a separate part from the lamp support 40, and the lamp support 40 includes a cowl fixing portion 44c that fixes the cowl 60. This makes it easier to mold each of the cowl 60 and the lamp support 40 into a complex shape, compared to when the cowl 60 and the lamp support 40 are a single part.

[0070] In addition, the annular portion 44a of the lamp support 40 has cowl fixing portions 44c at multiple points spaced apart in the circumferential direction. This allows the cowl 60 to be supported at multiple points in the annular shape, making it easy to ensure the rigidity required to support the cowl 60.

[0071] In addition, the annular portion 44a of the lamp support 40 and the cowl 60 have a wrap portion WR that overlaps with each other in the radial direction. This makes it difficult for light emitted from the headlamp 50 to leak rearward through a radial gap between the cowl 60 and the lamp support 40.

[0072] The cowl mounting structure 30 further includes a windshield 70, which is a separate part from the cowl 60 and is fixed at least at one location to the cowl fixing part 44c1. This allows the windshield 70 to be fixed together at the cowl fixing part 44c1 and the support fixing part 60c1 that fix the lamp support body 40 and the cowl 60, and the number of members for fixing the lamp support body 40, the cowl 60, and the windshield 70 can be reduced.

[0073] In addition, the first support component body 42a is formed in a cylindrical shape to cover the peripheral surface of the headlamp 50. This can further prevent the headlamp 50 from being exposed, and can protect the headlamp 50 while improving its aesthetic appearance. The upper surface of the first support component body 42a slopes downward as it moves rearward. In addition, the lower surface of the first support component body 42a slopes upward as it moves rearward. This can easily prevent interference with peripheral components arranged in the space behind the first bearing portion 32d of the stay 32, even if the first support component 42 is angularly displaced around the first aiming axis.

[0074] The cowl 60 is formed in a shape that forms a recess in relation to the periphery of the handle device 18. This makes it possible to prevent interference with the handle device 18 even if the cowl 60 is angularly displaced about the first aiming axis. In this embodiment, the cowl 60 is formed in a structure that allows angular displacement along with steering of the handlebars, so that interference with the surrounding components of the handle device 18 can be easily prevented even if the cowl 60 is angularly displaced about the first aiming axis. In addition, the cowl 60 is prevented from angularly displacing about the second aiming axis with respect to the vehicle body. This makes it possible to eliminate the need for a clearance between the cowl 60 and the stay 32 in the vehicle width direction, and thus makes it possible to realize a cowl 60 that saves space in the vehicle width direction.

[0075] <Modification> FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a cowl mounting structure 130 according to a modified example.

[0076] The cowl mounting structure 130 according to this modified example differs from the cowl mounting structure 30 in that one resin part 160 is provided instead of the cowl 60 and the second support part 44. The one resin part 160 is a part in which the cowl 60 and the second support part 44 are integrated. The cowl mounting structure 130 also provides the same effects as the cowl mounting structure 30, except for the effects when the cowl 60 and the second support part 44 are separate parts. In addition, according to the cowl mounting structure 130, by providing the resin part 160 having a shape in which the cowl 60 and the second support part 44 are integrated, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed compared to when the cowl 60 and the second support part 44 are separate parts.

[0077] The resin part 160 has some of the configurations of the second support part 44 and the cowl 60 remaining, while omitting some of the configurations of the other parts. Specifically, the resin part 160 includes an annular part 160a, a cover part 160b, and a rearward extending part 160c. The annular part 160a covers the outer periphery of the headlamp 50 in the same manner as the annular part 44a. The cover part 160b covers the front of the annular part 160a in the same manner as the cover part 60a. The cover part 160b extends radially inward from the front end of the annular part 160a. The rearward extending part 160c extends rearward from the front end of the annular part 160a while spreading radially outward from the annular part 160a. The rearward extending part 160c includes a stay covering part 60b1.

[0078] The resin part 160 does not include a wrap portion WR formed by the wrap pieces 44f, 60e. Because the cover portion 160b and the annular portion 160a are connected, even if the resin part 160 does not include the wrap portion WR, gaps that allow light from the headlamp 50 to leak rearward are unlikely to occur in the resin part 160.

[0079] Moreover, the resin part 160 does not include the cowl fastening part 44c and the support body fastening part 60c. Since the resin part 160 is a part having a shape in which the cowl 60 and the second support part 44 are integrated together, the part that functions as the cowl and the part that functions as the second support part are kept in a predetermined positional relationship even if the resin part 160 does not include the cowl fastening part 44c and the support body fastening part 60c.

[0080] The resin part 160 includes the first support part fixing portion 44b, the second head support part 44d, the second bearing part 44e, etc. that were provided on the second support part 44. Since the resin part 160 includes the second head support part 44d, the head exposure hole 60h that was provided on the cowl 60 is omitted. The resin part 160 also includes the windshield fixing part 60d, recesses 60f, 60g, etc. that were provided on the cowl 60. The support body fixing part 60c1 is provided as it is as the windshield fixing part 60d.

[0081] Additionally, although a motorcycle has been described as an example of a vehicle, the vehicle may be any vehicle in which the cowl 60 covers the outer periphery of the headlamp 50, and may be a three-wheeled vehicle or the like other than a motorcycle. Furthermore, in a vehicle, the structure other than that for supporting the headlamp 50 can be that of an existing vehicle. For example, the frame structure and type of drive source in a vehicle can be arbitrarily applied.

[0082] In addition, as a fixing structure for two parts, in addition to a fixing structure using fastening parts such as bolts, screws or rivets, a structure in which a claw structure or an engagement structure is formed on the two parts to be fixed to each other to fix them, or a joining structure using thermal welding or an adhesive may be used.

[0083] The configurations described in the above embodiment and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent.

[0084] The present specification and drawings disclose the following aspects.

[0085] The first aspect is a cowl mounting structure for a vehicle body, comprising a stay fixed to the vehicle body, a lamp support supported so as to be angle adjustable relative to the stay, a headlamp supported by the lamp support, and a cowl fixed to the lamp support and covering the outer periphery of the headlamp.

[0086] According to the first aspect, the cowl and the lamp support body that supports the lamp are fixed together, so that the installation error between the cowl and the headlamp can be reduced and the design can be improved. Also, because the cowl is fixed to the lamp support body, a dedicated bracket for fixing the cowl to the vehicle body is not required.

[0087] A second aspect is a cowl mounting structure according to the first aspect, in which the lamp support is supported by the stay so as to be angle-adjustable around a first aiming axis extending in a first direction predetermined for the vehicle body, the lamp support includes a pair of swing support parts spaced apart in the first direction and a setting part for setting an amount of swing around the first aiming axis, and the cowl covers at least the swing support parts from the outside along the first direction. As a result, the headlamp and the cowl swing together around the first aiming axis, so that a gap between the headlamp and the cowl along the first direction can be reduced. Also, the swing support parts are hidden by the cowl, so that the design can be improved.

[0088] A third aspect is the cowl mounting structure according to the second aspect, wherein the lamp support further includes a lamp connecting portion that supports the headlamp so as to be angle adjustable about a second aiming axis extending in a second direction different from the first direction, the first direction extending in the width direction of the vehicle body. This allows the angle of the headlamp to be adjusted about two axes, and allows a pair of left and right swing support portions to support an impact in the up-down direction, which tends to be larger than an impact in the left-right direction, making it easy to increase the support rigidity.

[0089] A fourth aspect is the cowl mounting structure according to any one of the first to third aspects, in which the lamp support includes an annular portion that covers an outer periphery of the headlamp, and the cowl includes a cover portion that covers the annular portion from the front. With this, the cowl and the headlamp can be disposed close to each other by the cover portion covering the annular portion, and the gap between the cowl and the headlamp can be reduced.

[0090] A fifth aspect is the cowl mounting structure according to the fourth aspect, wherein the annular portion includes a portion that is thicker than the cowl, thereby enabling the cowl to be reinforced by the annular portion.

[0091] A sixth aspect is the cowl mounting structure according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, in which the cowl is a separate part from the lamp support, and the lamp support includes a fixing part for fixing the cowl. This makes it easier to mold each of the cowl and the lamp support into a complex shape compared to a case in which the cowl and the lamp support are a single part.

[0092] In a seventh aspect, in the cowl mounting structure according to the sixth aspect, the lamp support includes an annular portion that covers an outer periphery of the headlamp, and the annular portion has the fixing portions at a plurality of points spaced apart in the circumferential direction. This makes it easier to ensure the rigidity required to support the cowl by supporting the cowl at a plurality of points in the annular shape.

[0093] In an eighth aspect, in the cowl mounting structure according to the sixth or seventh aspect, the lamp support includes an annular portion that covers an outer periphery of the headlamp, and the cowl and the annular portion have a wrap portion that overlaps with each other in the radial direction, thereby making it difficult for light emitted from the headlamp to leak rearward through a radial gap between the cowl and the lamp support.

[0094] A ninth aspect is the cowl mounting structure according to any one of the sixth to eighth aspects, further comprising a windshield that is a separate part from the cowl and is fixed to the fixing part at at least one point. This allows the windshield to be fixed at the fixing part that fixes the lamp support and the cowl, thereby reducing the number of members for fixing the lamp support, the cowl, and the windshield.

[0095] In a tenth aspect, in the cowl mounting structure according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the lamp support body includes a first support part supported by the stay so as to be angle adjustable, and a second support part that is a separate part from the first support part, is fixed to the front of the first support part, and supports the headlamp, and the cowl and the second support part are one resin part. This makes it possible to suppress an increase in the number of parts compared to when the cowl and the second support part are separate parts.

[0096] The above description is illustrative in all respects, and the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that countless variations not illustrated can be assumed without departing from the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
