Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to saddle-riding type vehicles, vehicle parts, and scooter type vehicles.

Background Art

[0002] Saddle-riding type vehicles such as scooters are equipped with electronic components such as an ECU (Engine Control Unit) for controlling an engine. In recent years, the ECU has become more complex by integrating control circuits for not only the engine but also electrical components such as a brushless starter motor and a wiper, and has become an important component for vehicle running. Therefore, it is desirable that the ECU be protected so as not to get wet with water as much as possible. For example, Patent Document 1 describes an ECU whose lower part is covered by a cover protruding outward in the vehicle width direction from a rear fender.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a saddle-riding type vehicle, a vehicle part, and a scooter type vehicle capable of preventing water from getting on electronic components and couplers.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] As a means of solving the above problems, a first aspect of the present invention is a saddle-type vehicle comprising a support bracket (B) supported by a vehicle frame (F), the support bracket (B) comprising a main body (B1) to which an electronic component (E) is fixed, and a first rib (B2) and a second rib (B3) provided on the main body (B1) and formed to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction, the second rib (B3) being positioned below and overlapping the first rib (B2) in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, the first rib (B2) and the second rib (B3) being positioned overlapping with the electronic component (E) and a coupler (N1) for electrical wiring (N), respectively, the electronic component (E) being positioned above the first rib, and the coupler (N1) for electrical wiring (N) being positioned in the space below the first rib (B2) and above the second rib (B3).

[0007] With this configuration, the first and second ribs are formed to protrude from the support bracket in the vehicle width direction, thus protecting electronic components and couplers from water entering from below.

[0008] A second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect described above, comprises a third rib (2B) formed to protrude inward in the vehicle width direction from the inner wall (2A) of the body cover member (2) that covers the support bracket (B) from the outside in the vehicle width direction, and positioned below the second rib (B3) in the vehicle body vertical direction, wherein the third rib (2B) is formed to protrude less in the vehicle width direction than the protrusion amounts of the first rib (B2) and the second rib (B3).

[0009] With this configuration, the gap between the end of the second rib and the inner wall of the body cover member is sealed by the third rib, thereby protecting electronic components and couplers from water entering from below.

[0010] A third aspect of the present invention is that, in the first or second aspect described above, the first rib and the second rib may be positioned to overlap in the vertical direction of the vehicle body.

[0011] This configuration creates an intricate labyrinthine structure of water intrusion paths through the arrangement of the first and second ribs, thereby protecting electronic components and couplers from water entering from below.

[0012] A fourth aspect of the present invention is that, in any one of the first to third embodiments described above, at least a portion of the electronic component (E) may be positioned inward from the outer end of the vehicle body frame (F) in the vehicle width direction.

[0013] This configuration protects electronic components and couplers from water entering from below.

[0014] A fifth aspect of the present invention is that, in any one of the first to fourth aspects described above, the main body (B1) comprises a fixing portion (B5) fixed to the vehicle frame (F), the fixing portion (B5) comprising: a first fixing portion (B6) provided at the front in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and fixed to the vehicle frame (F) by bolts; a second fixing portion (B7) provided at the rear in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and fixed to the vehicle frame (F) by clips; and a contact portion (B8) provided between the first fixing portion (B6) and the second fixing portion (B7) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and having a positioning portion (B8A) formed thereon that matches the cross-sectional shape of the vehicle frame (F) and contacts the upper part of the vehicle frame (F).

[0015] This configuration reduces the number of steps required to attach the support bracket to the vehicle frame, while also improving the accuracy of the attachment. Furthermore, this configuration reduces the number of bolts used during attachment, thereby reducing the number of steps required for attachment.

[0016] A sixth aspect of the present invention is a vehicle component supported by a vehicle frame (F), comprising: a main body (B1) to which an electronic component (E) is fixed; and a first rib (B2) and a second rib (B3) provided on the main body (B1) and formed to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction, wherein the second rib (B3) is positioned below and overlapping the first rib (B2) in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, and the first rib (B2) and the second rib (B3) are positioned overlapping with the electronic component (E) and a coupler (N1) for electrical wiring (N), respectively in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, the electronic component (E) is positioned above the first rib, and the coupler (N1) for electrical wiring (N) is positioned in the space below the first rib (B2) and above the second rib (B3).

[0017] With this configuration, the first and second ribs of the support bracket are formed to protrude in the vehicle width direction to a position where they overlap with the electronic components and coupler in the vehicle's vertical direction, thus providing a vehicle component that protects the electronic components and coupler from water entering from below.

[0018] A seventh aspect of the present invention comprises a vehicle body frame (F) and a support bracket (B) supported by the vehicle body frame, wherein the vehicle body frame (F) comprises a head pipe (F1), a down frame (F2) extending downward and rearward from the head pipe (F1), a lower frame (F3) extending rearward from the lower part of the down frame (F2), and a rear frame (F4) extending rearward and upward from the rear of the lower frame (F3) and supporting a vehicle seat (10), and the The rear frame is provided with a support bracket (B) positioned below the vehicle seat (10), and the support bracket (B) comprises a main body (B1) to which an electronic component (E) is fixed, and a first rib (B2) and a second rib (B3) provided on the main body (B1) and formed to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction, wherein the second rib (B3) is positioned below and overlapping the first rib (B2) in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, and the first rib (B2) and the second rib (B3) are positioned to overlap the electronic component (E) and the coupler (N1) for electrical wiring (N), respectively, with the electronic component (E) positioned above the first rib, and the coupler (N1) for electrical wiring (N) positioned below the first rib (B2) and above the second rib (B3), characterized in that the scooter-type vehicle is provided with a support bracket (B) positioned below the first rib (B2) and above the second rib (B3).

[0019] With this configuration, the first and second ribs are formed to protrude from the support bracket in the vehicle width direction, thus protecting electronic components and couplers from water splashed up by the rear wheel of a scooter-type vehicle. [Effects of the Invention]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 1 is, for example, a motorcycle or a three-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle 1 is a saddle-type motorcycle. The vehicle 1 is, for example, a scooter-type vehicle among saddle-type vehicles. The vehicle 1 may be a three-wheeled vehicle having two wheels on the front wheel or the rear wheel. In the following description, the front side as viewed from the driver along the traveling direction of the vehicle 1 is the front side, the rear side is the rear side, the vehicle body front-rear direction, the vehicle body left-right direction (also referred to as the vehicle width direction), and the vehicle body up-down direction are appropriately set. The vehicle 1 is also appropriately referred to as the vehicle body. The vehicle 1 includes, for example, a vehicle body frame F that supports the front wheel WF and the rear wheel WR, and a power unit P supported by the vehicle body frame F.

[0023] The vehicle frame F is formed to have high rigidity by combining, for example, bent steel pipes. The front wheel WF is, for example, a disc wheel, a wire wheel, or an integrally molded spoke wheel. The front wheel WF is rotatably supported by the lower ends of a pair of front forks R. The front forks R are attached to a steering stem S that allows the front wheel WF to rotate freely in the steering direction (left and right direction). The steering stem S is rotatably supported by the vehicle frame F in the left and right direction. A handlebar H extending in the left and right direction is fixed to the upper part of the steering stem S. A pair of front rearview mirrors M are further fixed to the handlebar H.

[0024] The steering system components, including the handlebars H, front forks R, and front wheel WF, are located at the front end of the vehicle frame F and are rotatably supported in the steering direction by the head pipe F1. The vehicle frame F comprises the head pipe F1, a down frame F2 extending downward and rearward from the head pipe F1, a lower frame F3 extending rearward from the lower part of the down frame F2, and a rear frame F4 extending upward and rearward from the rear of the lower frame F3.

[0025] In the vehicle frame F, a power unit P that generates driving force is rotatably fixed to the lower part of the rear frame F4. The power unit P is rotatably supported relative to the vehicle frame F. The power unit P is a modular engine structure in which the engine that serves as the driving source, the drive system having a transmission that reduces the engine's rotation and outputs it, and the suspension swing arm are integrated into one unit.

[0026] The power unit P includes a swingarm unit (not shown) which houses the mechanism for driving the rear wheel WR and also serves as a suspension system. The swingarm unit supports the rear wheel WR rotatably in a cantilevered manner on the left side of the vehicle 1, for example. The swingarm unit is supported by a damper device on the vehicle frame F.

[0027] Behind the power unit P is a muffler MF connected to the exhaust pipe through which exhaust gases flow. The muffler MF is located on the right side of the vehicle in the left-right direction. The muffler MF is fixed to the power unit P and rotates in conjunction with the power unit P relative to the vehicle frame F. The power unit P has a cooling system RA that uses either forced air cooling or water cooling, utilizing the rotational power of the engine.

[0028] The rear wheel WR is rotatably supported at the rear end of the power unit P. The rear wheel WR is, for example, a disc wheel, a wire wheel, or a one-piece molded spoke wheel. The rear wheel WR is fitted with a tire of the same size as or different size from the front wheel WF. The rear wheel WR is driven by a drive belt provided in a continuously variable transmission located inside the power unit P. The drive belt transmits the rotational driving force generated in the power unit P to the rear wheel WR via an automatic centrifugal clutch (not shown) located inside the swingarm unit.

[0029] In the vehicle frame F, a vehicle seat 10 for the driver is provided on the rear frame F4. The vehicle seat 10 is positioned at the seating position on the vehicle frame F. A body cover member 2 covering the vehicle frame F is provided between the vehicle seat 10 and the steering stem S. Below the space between the vehicle seat 10 and the steering stem S, above the lower frame F3, a step 20 for the driver's feet is provided. Below the vehicle seat 10, a tandem step ST is provided for the feet of a tandem passenger seated behind the vehicle seat 10. Inside the body cover member 2, a support bracket B for fixing electronic components E such as an ECU is provided below the vehicle seat 10.

[0030] As shown in Figures 2 to 5, the support bracket B is supported at a predetermined position on the vehicle frame F. The predetermined position on the vehicle frame F is formed, for example, by a steel pipe. The support bracket B is integrally formed using a material such as resin. The support bracket B is provided with a main body B1 to which the electronic component E is fixed. The main body B1 is fixed to the vehicle frame F. The main body B1 is formed in a plate shape. The main body B1 has strip-shaped first ribs B2 and second ribs B3 formed on it.

[0031] The main body B1 is formed in a plate shape. The main body B1 is arranged so that its surface direction is aligned with the vertical direction. The main body B1 is fixed to the vehicle frame via a fixing part B5. The fixing part B5 includes, for example, a first fixing part B6 positioned at the front in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, a second fixing part B7 positioned at the rear in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a contact part B8 provided between the first fixing part B6 and the second fixing part B7.

[0032] The support bracket B positions the upper end of the electronic component E at a higher position relative to the vehicle frame F in the vertical direction of the vehicle, making it difficult for water to penetrate the electronic component E from below (see Figure 3). The first rib B2 is positioned in a location where it partially overlaps with the vehicle frame F in the vertical direction of the vehicle when viewed from the side of the vehicle, and can protect the electronic component E in close proximity to it (see Figure 2).

[0033] A circular through-hole B6H is formed in the first fixing part B6. A first bracket F6 is provided on the vehicle frame F side at a position corresponding to the first fixing part B6. A bolt (not shown) is inserted into the through-hole B6H and screwed into a threaded hole (not shown) on the vehicle frame F side, which is located at a position corresponding to the through-hole B6H. The first fixing part B6 is thus fixed to the vehicle frame F by the bolt.

[0034] A circular through-hole B7H is formed in the second fixing part B7. A second bracket F7 is provided on the vehicle frame F side at a position corresponding to the second fixing part B7. A clip (not shown) is inserted into the through-hole B7H and clipped into a hole (not shown) on the vehicle frame F side at a position corresponding to the through-hole B7H. In this way, the second fixing part B7 is easily fixed to the vehicle frame F by the clip. While the first fixing part B6 is bolted, the second fixing part B7 is clipped, which reduces the number of bolts and thus the cost, and also simplifies the assembly of the first fixing part B6.

[0035] The contact portion B8 is formed to protrude inward (to the left) in the vehicle width direction relative to the main body portion B1. The contact portion B8 has a positioning portion B8A formed to abut against a circular cross-sectional shape at a predetermined position on the vehicle frame F. The positioning portion B8A is formed to abut against the upper part of the vehicle frame F. The positioning portion B8A is supported by the vehicle frame F because it overlaps with the vehicle frame F in the vertical direction, and can be easily positioned relative to the vehicle frame F. The contact portion B8 is formed integrally with the main body portion B1, for example. The contact portion B8 may be formed separately from the main body portion B1. The contact portion B8 may be formed to match the cross-sectional shape at a predetermined position on the vehicle frame F even if the cross-sectional shape of the vehicle frame F is not circular. The contact portion B8 may be shaped to match a cross-sectional shape other than circular so as to abut against the upper part of the vehicle frame F, and in the case of a rectangular cross-sectional shape, it may be formed to match a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The presence of the contact portion B8 facilitates positioning when attaching the support bracket B to the vehicle body frame F, thereby improving assembly efficiency and accuracy.

[0036] The contact portion B8 is provided with a component fixing portion B9 for fixing the electronic component E. The component fixing portion B9 fixes the electronic component E in a position between the first fixing portion B6 and the second fixing portion B7. The component fixing portion B9 fixes the electronic component E at an angle in the vehicle width direction. The component fixing portion B9 positions at least a portion of the electronic component E inward relative to the outer edge of the vehicle frame F in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the component fixing portion B9 makes it difficult for water splashed up from below to come into contact with the electronic component E.

[0037] As shown in Figure 6, a locking portion B10 for locking the electronic component E is formed at the upper end of the component fixing portion B9. The locking portion B10 locks onto a locking portion E1 formed on the inner (left) surface of the electronic component E in the vehicle width direction. The locking portion B10 is locked onto the locking portion E1 without the use of fixing parts such as screws. As a result, the electronic component E can be fixed to the component fixing portion B9 without the use of tools, simplifying assembly. Below the electronic component E, a first rib B2 is positioned.

[0038] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the first rib B2 is provided on the main body B1. The first rib B2 is positioned so as to overlap with at least a portion of the electronic component E in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The first rib B2 is formed to protrude outward (to the right) in the vehicle width direction. The first rib B2 is formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The first rib B2 is given an inclination angle that slopes downward toward the front in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. As a result, water that hits the first rib B2 flows off due to the inclination of the first rib B2. The first rib B2 partitions a space between itself and the second rib B3 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The first rib B2 extends forward and downward approximately parallel to the rear of the second rib B3.

[0039] Above the first rib B2, electrical wiring N for electronic components E and other electrical components is positioned. The first rib B2 makes it difficult for water splashed up from below to reach the electronic component E. The first rib B2 routes the electrical wiring N along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle body. Below the first rib B2, the second rib B3 is positioned.

[0040] The first rib B2 and the second rib B3 are positioned to overlap with the inner fender D (see Figure 1) provided on the rear wheel WR in the vertical direction of the vehicle when viewed from the side. As a result, the first rib B2 and the second rib B3 form an intricate labyrinth structure in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, making it difficult for water splashed up from below to come into contact with the electronic component E. Water that enters the interior of the body cover member 2 during car washing or splashing from the rear wheel WR is suppressed by the inner fender D, and further suppressed by the first rib B2 and the second rib B3, preventing the electronic component E from getting wet.

[0041] The second rib B3 is located at the lower end of the main body B1. The second rib B3 is positioned to overlap with the coupler N1 for the electronic component E and electrical wiring N in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The second rib B3 is formed to protrude outward (to the right) in the width direction of the vehicle body. The second rib B3 is formed to extend along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body to the lower end of the main body B1. The second rib B3 forms a space along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body between the first rib B2 and the lower end of the main body B1. Above the second rib B3 are the electrical wiring N for the electrical component and the coupler N1 connected to the electrical wiring N. Due to its positional relationship with the first rib B2, the second rib B3 forms an intricate labyrinth structure for water intrusion, making it difficult for water splashed up from below to reach the electronic component E. The electrical wiring N is routed along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body on the second rib B3. The second rib B3 works in cooperation with the first rib B2 to form the layout path for the electrical wiring N, and can organize the layout of the electrical wiring N.

[0042] The second rib B3 extends from behind the rear end of the coupler N1, along the coupler N1, downward and forward in a side view of the vehicle, and extends forward of the coupler N1 and forward of the electronic component E. The second rib B3 is positioned approximately parallel to the first rib B2 in a side view of the vehicle. The second rib B3 has an angle of inclination that slopes downward toward the front in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. As a result, water that hits the second rib B3 flows off due to the inclination of the second rib B3.

[0043] The support bracket B is covered by the body cover member 2 from the outside on the right side in the vehicle width direction. A third rib 2B is formed on the inner wall 2A of the body cover member 2. The third rib 2B is formed to protrude inward (to the left) in the vehicle width direction. The third rib 2B is positioned below the second rib B3 in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The second rib B3 and the third rib 2B are positioned to overlap in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The third rib 2B covers the gap 2C that occurs between the inner wall 2A of the body cover member 2 and the end of the second rib B3 from below. As a result, the third rib 2B is positioned alternately with the second rib B3 in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, forming an intricate labyrinth structure for water intrusion, making it difficult for water splashed up from below to come into contact with the electronic components E and electrical wiring N.

[0044] The third rib 2B is formed with a shorter protrusion in the vehicle width direction compared to the protrusion amounts of the first rib B2 and the second rib B3. This prevents the formation of recessed sink marks on the surface of the body cover member 2 when the resin cools and hardens during injection molding.

[0045] The support bracket B may be configured as a vehicle part used for repairing the vehicle 1. The vehicle part including the support bracket B comprises a main body B1 to which the electronic component E is fixed, and a first rib B2 and a second rib B3 provided on the main body B1 and formed to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction. The second rib B3 is positioned below and overlapping the first rib B2 in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. In the vertical direction of the vehicle body, the first rib B2 and the second rib B3 are positioned to overlap the electronic component E and the coupler N1 for the electrical wiring N, respectively. The electronic component E is positioned above the first rib B2, and the coupler N1 for the electrical wiring N is positioned in the space below the first rib B2 and above the second rib B3.

[0046] As described above, the support bracket B makes it possible to prevent water from entering the electronic component E and the coupler N1. With the support bracket B, since the first rib B2 and the second rib B3 are formed, the electronic component E and the coupler N1 can be protected from water entering from below. With the support bracket B, since the third rib 2B is formed, it closes the gap 2C that occurs between the end of the second rib B3 and the inner wall 2A of the body cover member 2, and works in cooperation with the second rib B3 to protect the electronic component E and the coupler N1 from water entering from below. With the support bracket B, the electronic component E can be made less visible from the outside of the vehicle 1, and theft of the electronic component E can be prevented.

[0047] Furthermore, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, the components in the embodiments described above can be replaced with well-known components as appropriate, and the modifications described above can be combined as appropriate. For example, vehicle 1 may be applied not only to motorcycles and three-wheeled vehicles, but also to other self-propelled vehicles such as four-wheeled buggies, non-self-propelled vehicles, etc. It may also be applied to vehicles that include an electric motor as the prime mover. The support bracket B described above is illustrated as being located on the right side in the vehicle width direction, but it may also be located on the left side. In this case, the support bracket B only needs to be formed with a symmetrical structure with respect to the vehicle width direction. [Explanation of Symbols]
