Description

Automotive bicycle
Technical field
The present invention relates to automotive bicycle, particularly relate to the fuel sensor of automotive bicycle.
Background technology
As existing automotive bicycle, know such automotive bicycle is arranged: it possesses cross-sectional plane is formed the Fuel Tank of downward concavity and the fuel sensor that is provided with in this fuel tank bottom, and fuel sensor possesses: sensor body portion, be directly installed on sensor body portion the sensor resistance body, can be installed in the sensor arm on the sensor resistance body rotationally and be installed in the floating member (for example with reference to patent documentation 1) of sensor arm leading section.
Patent documentation 1:(Japan) spy opens the 2007-276746 communique
But in the automotive bicycle of above-mentioned patent documentation 1 record, because sensor arm is the length that vehicle front extends to the electrolyte level detection position of fuel, so the weight of sensor arm becomes heavy and needs big floating member.And the deflection quantitative change of sensor arm is big, in order can't help to vibrate etc. floating member and tank inner wall to be produced and to interfere the gap that just needs to increase tank inner wall and floating member, so the layout degree of freedom of the freedom shape of Fuel Tank and fuel sensor is restricted.
Summary of the invention
The present invention develops in view of above-mentioned problem, its purpose is to provide a kind of automotive bicycle, the rotation section can be shortened and be the length of sensor arm and the floating member miniaturization, and the freedom shape of Fuel Tank and the layout degree of freedom of fuel sensor can be improved.
In order to achieve the above object, the automotive bicycle of content 1 record invention of the present invention possesses the Fuel Tank of storage of fuels and detects the fuel sensor of level of fuel height in the Fuel Tank, wherein, fuel sensor possesses: the sensor body portion that is arranged at Fuel Tank, the arm that extends to the vehicle-width direction outside from the upper end of sensor body portion, be arranged on the sensor resistance body of the vehicle-width direction outer end of arm, can be arranged on the sensor resistance body rotationally and utilize the sensor resistance body to detect the sensor arm of deflection angle, be arranged on the floating member of sensor arm leading section, sensor body portion and sensor resistance body are configured to see it is overlapping from vehicular sideview.
The invention of content 2 records of the present invention is on the basis of content 1 record invention structure of the present invention, makes the rigidity height of the rigidity ratio sensor arm of arm.
The invention of content of the present invention 3 records is on the basis of content 1 of the present invention or 2 record invention structures, and fuel sensor also possesses the lead that sends the signal that the sensor resistance body detects, lead with helical coil on arm.
The automotive bicycle of content 1 record according to the present invention, because fuel sensor possesses: the sensor body portion that is arranged at Fuel Tank, the arm that extends to the vehicle-width direction outside from the upper end of sensor body portion, be arranged on the sensor resistance body of the vehicle-width direction outer end of arm, can be arranged on the sensor resistance body rotationally and utilize the sensor resistance body to detect the sensor arm of deflection angle, be arranged on the floating member of sensor arm leading section, sensor body portion and sensor resistance body are configured to see it is overlapping from vehicular sideview, so can shorten length that the rotation section is a sensor arm and the floating member miniaturization.And, the length of sensor arm can reduce the deflection of sensor arm because shortening, so can dwindle the gap of tank inner wall and floating member.Can improve the freedom shape of Fuel Tank and the layout degree of freedom of fuel sensor therefrom.Because can be the contraction in length of fuel sensor, so can further improve the layout degree of freedom of sensor at the vehicle fore-and-aft direction.Can be Fuel Tank at the contraction in length of vehicle fore-and-aft direction with the Fuel Tank flattening.And owing to can adjust the setting angle of sensor resistance body by arm, thus do not need to change the sensor resistance body detection portion self angle just can, can improve the commonality that is used for different machines.
The automotive bicycle of content 2 records according to the present invention, owing to make the rigidity height of the rigidity ratio sensor arm of arm, so can diminish the deflection of sensor arm more.Can dwindle the gap of tank inner wall and floating member therefrom more, so can improve the freedom shape of Fuel Tank and the layout degree of freedom of fuel sensor more.
The automotive bicycle of content 3 records according to the present invention, because fuel sensor possesses the lead of the signal that sends the detection of sensor resistance body, this lead with helical coil on arm, the part number can be do not reduced so need not be used in addition keep the parts of lead, manufacturing cost can be reduced.
