Problems to be solved by the invention
In recent years, attempts have been made to improve the design of vehicle body covers. However, in the conventional example, since the front cover portion and the cover portion are integrally molded, the degree of freedom in designing the body cover provided at the front portion of the saddle-type vehicle (hereinafter referred to as "front body cover" as appropriate) is low. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to improve the design of the front body cover.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a saddle-ride type vehicle in which the design of a front body cover can be easily improved.
Means for solving the problems
The present inventors have studied an assembly in which a front body cover is formed by connecting a plurality of members (components). Hereinafter, the front body cover composed of a plurality of separable members is particularly referred to as a "front body cover assembly" so as to be separated from the integrally molded (i.e., composed of 1 member) front body cover. According to the front body cover assembly, a complicated design can be appropriately expressed. In addition, by applying different coatings to the respective members, the degree of freedom in design can be further improved.
However, in the front cowl assembly, it is necessary to provide a gap between the members in order to absorb an assembly error. For this reason, there is a possibility that the assembling strength of the members is reduced. If the assembly strength is reduced, the rigidity of the entire front cowl assembly is reduced, and the front cowl assembly itself is easily bent. The present inventors have found that the front body cover assembly has such a problem.
The present inventors have found the following problems with respect to the support of the front body cover assembly. That is, when the rigidity of the front cowl assembly is low, it is difficult to support the front cowl assembly on the vehicle body (for example, a head pipe). In particular, when the support points of the front cowl assembly are limited, it becomes more difficult to appropriately support the front cowl assembly. The limitation of the supporting points means that: for example, the position at which the front body cover assembly is supported is away from the center or center of gravity of the front body cover assembly, and/or the number of support points is small.
For this reason, the present inventors studied the arrangement and number of the support points of the front cowl assembly. For example, studies have been made to change the arrangement of stays that support a front cowl assembly, and/or to add stays. Thus, even if the rigidity of the front body cover assembly itself is low, the front body cover assembly can be firmly supported. However, the change in the arrangement of the support points and/or the addition of the support points may increase the weight of the saddle-ride type vehicle and/or increase the cost of the saddle-ride type vehicle. The present inventors have found that: if the support point of the front cowl assembly is changed in this way, a new problem occurs.
In view of the above, the present inventors have studied a structure capable of appropriately supporting a front body cover assembly even if the rigidity of the front body cover assembly itself is low and the supporting point of the front body cover assembly is limited.
The present invention based on such findings adopts the following configuration.
That is, the present invention provides a saddle-ride type vehicle including:
a head pipe;
a steering device supported by the head pipe;
a front wheel supported by the steering device;
the 1 st stay connected with the head pipe;
a front cowl assembly connected to the 1 st stay;
a leg shield disposed behind the head pipe; and
a lamp unit mounted on the front vehicle body cover assembly;
here, the front vehicle body cover assembly includes:
a1 st front cover which is disposed forward of the head pipe and is connected to the 1 st stay;
a 2 nd front cover which is disposed below the 1 st front cover, extends to a position lower than an upper end of the front wheel rightward from the steering device, extends to a position lower than an upper end of the front wheel leftward from the steering device, and has an opening for the lamp unit;
a right cover disposed to the right of the steering device, at least a part of the right cover overlapping the steering device when the vehicle is viewed from the side; and
a left cover disposed on the left of the steering device, at least a part of which overlaps with the steering device when the vehicle is viewed from the side;
the 1 st front cover, the 2 nd front cover, the right cover, and the left cover are separable from each other;
the 2 nd front cover is larger than any of the 1 st front cover, the right side cover, and the left side cover;
the leg shield is integrally formed;
the 1 st front cover is connected with the leg shield;
the 2 nd front cover is connected with the leg shield;
the right side cover is connected with the leg shield;
the left side cover is connected with the leg shield;
a connection position where the 1 st stay and the 1 st front cover are connected is higher than the lamp unit;
the front vehicle body cover assembly has more than 3 lamp fixing parts for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit;
at least one of the lamp fixing portions is a1 st fixing portion for fixing the 1 st front cover and the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit at the same position;
at least one of the lamp fixing portions other than the first fixing portion 1 is a 2 nd fixing portion for fixing the 2 nd front cover and the right cover to the lamp unit at the same position;
the lamp fixing portion of at least any one of the lamp fixing portions other than the 1 st fixing portion and the 2 nd fixing portion is a 3 rd fixing portion for fixing the 1 st front cover and the left side cover to the lamp unit at the same position;
the 1 st fixing part is disposed at a position higher than both of the 2 nd fixing part and the 3 rd fixing part;
the front vehicle body cover assembly includes:
a right fixing portion for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the right cover at a position lower than the 2 nd fixing portion; and
and a left fixing portion for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the left cover at a position lower than the 3 rd fixing portion.
The saddle-ride type vehicle of the present invention has a front body cover assembly. The front body cover assembly can be divided into the 1 st front cover, the 2 nd front cover, the right side cover and the left side cover, so the design freedom of the front body cover assembly is high. This makes it possible to easily improve the design of the front body cover of the saddle-ride type vehicle.
The 1 st front cover is connected to the head pipe via the 1 st stay. Since the 1 st front cover is smaller than the 2 nd front cover, the 1 st front cover has high rigidity and the 1 st front cover is hard to flex. Therefore, the head pipe can appropriately support the entire 1 st front cover via the 1 st stay.
The connection position of the 1 st front cover and the 1 st stay corresponds to a support point of the front vehicle body cover assembly. However, the connection position of the 1 st front cover and the 1 st stay is not an ideal position as a support point of the front body cover assembly. The 1 st front cover is located above the front body cover assembly. The 1 st front cover and the 1 st stay are connected at a position higher than the lamp unit. Therefore, the support point of the front body cover assembly is located at a position higher than the lamp unit and above the front body cover assembly. That is, the support point of the front cowl assembly is not disposed at or near the center of gravity of the front cowl assembly. Therefore, it can be said that the supporting point of the front cowl assembly is limited.
Since the 2 nd front cover has the following structure, the 2 nd front cover has low rigidity and the 2 nd front cover is easily flexed. That is, the 2 nd bezel has an opening for disposing the lamp unit. The 2 nd front cover is larger than the 1 st front cover, the right side cover and the left side cover. The 2 nd front cover extends to the right of the steering device to a position lower than the upper end of the front wheel, and extends to the left of the steering device to a position lower than the upper end of the front wheel.
As described above, the supporting point of the front body cover assembly is limited, and the 2 nd front cover is easily flexed. Even in such a case, according to the structure described below, the 2 nd front cover can be effectively reinforced, and the entire front body cover assembly can be appropriately supported.
The front vehicle body cover assembly has 3 or more lamp fixing portions. Each lamp fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit. At least one of the lamp fixing portions is the 1 st fixing portion. The 1 st fixing portion fixes the 1 st front cover and the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit at the same position. The lamp fixing portion produces the following 4 effects.
No. 1, the No. 2 front cover can be reinforced by the lamp unit.
The respective lamp fixing portions fix the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit. The lamp unit has a high rigidity. Of course, the lamp unit has higher rigidity than the 2 nd bezel. Therefore, the lamp unit appropriately reinforces the 2 nd front cover. That is, the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover can be effectively improved by the rigidity of the lamp unit.
And 2 nd, a main path and a branch path of the lamp unit are formed, and the 2 nd front cover can be supported by the lamp fixing part.
The force with which the head pipe supports the 1 st front cover is simply referred to as "supporting force of the head pipe". The supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted to the 1 st front cover via the 1 st stay. The main path transmits the supporting force of the head pipe received by the 1 st front cover to the 2 nd front cover. The main path is formed by the 1 st fixed part. Specifically, the main path connects the 1 st front cover, the 1 st fixing section, and the 2 nd front cover in this order. The main path does not pass through the lamp unit. In the main path, the supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted from the 1 st front cover to the 2 nd front cover through the 1 st fixing portion. Thus, the 1 st front cover supports the 2 nd front cover by the supporting force of the head pipe. The branch path of the lamp unit branches from the main path and transmits the supporting force of the head pipe to the 2 nd front cover. The branch path of the lamp unit is formed by a lamp fixing part including a1 st fixing part. Specifically, the lamp unit is connected to the lamp unit by the branch path in the order of the 1 st fixing section, the lamp unit, the lamp fixing section other than the 1 st fixing section, and the 2 nd front cover. The branch path of the lamp unit is connected to the main path at the 1 st fixed portion. The branch paths of the lamp unit pass through the lamp unit. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe flows from the main path to the branch path of the lamp unit at the 1 st fixing portion. In the branch path of the lamp unit, a part of the supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted from the 1 st fixing portion to the lamp unit. Thus, the 1 st bezel supports the lamp unit by the supporting force of the head pipe. In the branch path of the lamp unit, the supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted from the lamp unit to the 2 nd front cover through the lamp fixing portion other than the 1 st fixing portion. Thus, the lamp unit supports the 2 nd front cover by the supporting force of the head pipe.
In summary of the above description, the 1 st fixing part forms a main path, and the lamp fixing part forms a branch path of the lamp unit. The main path and the branch path of the lamp unit transmit the supporting force of the head pipe, respectively. The 1 st front cover supports the 2 nd front cover and the lamp unit via the 1 st fixing portion by the supporting force of the head pipe. The lamp unit supports the 2 nd front cover via the lamp fixing parts other than the 1 st fixing part by the supporting force of the head pipe. That is, each lamp fixing portion supports the 2 nd front cover by the supporting force of the head pipe. The 1 st fixing part supports the lamp unit by a supporting force of the head pipe.
And 3. the lamp unit can be held in place.
Since the 1 st front cover is directly connected to the 1 st fixing portion, the 1 st fixing portion is less likely to be displaced even if the 2 nd front cover itself has low rigidity. Even if the 2 nd front cover is bent, the position of the 1 st fixing portion is easily kept constant. Since the 1 st fixing portion is directly connected to the lamp unit, the position of the lamp unit is less likely to be affected by the deflection of the 2 nd bezel itself. Even if the 2 nd front cover is flexed, the lamp unit can be easily held in place. Therefore, the lamp unit can reinforce the 2 nd bezel at an appropriate position. The lamp unit can support the 2 nd front cover in place.
And 4, the fixing structure using the 1 st fixing part can be simplified.
The position where the 1 st fixing portion fixes the 1 st front cover to the lamp unit is the same as the position where the 1 st fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit. That is, the 1 st fixing portion fixes the 1 st and 2 nd front covers to the lamp unit at 1 place. Therefore, as compared with the case where the 1 st and 2 nd front covers are fixed to the lamp unit at different positions (i.e., 2 locations), the gap for absorbing the assembly error can be reduced. This can appropriately prevent the assembly strength of the 1 st front cover, the 2 nd front cover, and the lamp unit from decreasing, and can appropriately prevent the rigidity of the entire front vehicle body cover assembly from decreasing. Further, the number of parts of the 1 st fixing portion can be reduced, and an increase in weight and an increase in cost of the saddle-ride type vehicle can be prevented.
At least 1 or more lamp fixing parts other than the 1 st fixing part are the 2 nd fixing parts. The 2 nd fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover and the right side cover to the lamp unit at the same position. The front vehicle body cover assembly has a right fixing portion. The right fixing part fixes the 2 nd front cover to the right cover at a position lower than the 2 nd fixing part. The 2 nd fixing part and the right fixing part produce 4 effects as follows.
The 2 nd front cover can be reinforced by the right side cover 1.
The 2 nd fixing part and the right fixing part respectively fix the 2 nd front cover to the right side cover. The right cover is smaller than the 2 nd front cover, so the right cover has higher rigidity. Therefore, the right side cover can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover. That is, the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover can be further improved by the rigidity of the right cover.
And 2, a branch path of the right side cover is formed, and the 2 nd front cover can be supported by the right fixing part.
The branch path of the right cover branches from the branch path of the lamp unit, and transmits the supporting force of the head pipe to the 2 nd front cover. The branch path of the right cover is formed by the 2 nd fixing part and the right fixing part. Specifically, the branch path of the right cover connects the 2 nd fixing section, the right cover, the right fixing section, and the 2 nd front cover in this order. The branch path of the right cover is connected to the branch path of the lamp unit at the 2 nd fixing portion. Since the 2 nd fixing part is disposed at a position lower than the 1 st fixing part, the branch path of the right cover is connected to the branch path of the lamp unit at a position lower than the main path. Since the right fixing portion is disposed at a position lower than the 2 nd fixing portion, the branch path of the right cover extends downward from the branch path of the lamp unit. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe flows from the branch path of the lamp unit to the branch path of the right cover at the 2 nd fixing portion. In the branch path of the right cover, a part of the supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted from the 2 nd fixing portion to the right cover. Thus, the lamp unit supports the right cover via the 2 nd fixing portion by the supporting force of the head pipe. In the branch path of the right cover, the supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted from the right cover to the 2 nd front cover through the right fixing portion. Thus, the right side cover supports the 2 nd front cover via the right fixing portion by the supporting force of the head pipe. That is, the 2 nd fixing portion supports the right cover by the supporting force of the head pipe. The right fixing portion supports the 2 nd front cover by the supporting force of the head pipe.
And 3. the right side cover can be held in place.
As described above, since the lamp unit can be held at an appropriate position, the 2 nd fixing portion can be held at an appropriate position. Since the 2 nd fixing portion is directly connected to the right cover, the position of the right cover is less likely to be affected by the deflection of the 2 nd front cover itself. Even if the 2 nd front cover is flexed, the right side cover can be easily held in place. Therefore, the right side cover can reinforce the 2 nd front cover at an appropriate position. The right side cover can support the 2 nd front cover in place.
No. 4, the fixing structure using the No. 2 fixing part can be simplified
The position where the 2 nd fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit is the same as the position where the 2 nd fixing portion fixes the right cover to the lamp unit. That is, the 2 nd fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover and the right cover to the lamp unit at 1 place. Therefore, as compared with the case where the 2 nd front cover and the right cover are fixed to the lamp unit at different positions (i.e., 2 locations), the gap for absorbing the assembly error can be reduced. This can appropriately prevent the assembly strength of the 2 nd front cover, the lamp unit, and the right cover from decreasing, and appropriately prevent the rigidity of the entire front vehicle body cover assembly from decreasing. Further, the number of parts of the 2 nd fixing portion can be reduced, and an increase in the weight and cost of the saddle-ride type vehicle can be prevented.
At least 1 or more lamp fixing parts other than the 1 st fixing part and the 2 nd fixing part are the 3 rd fixing parts. The 3 rd fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover and the left side cover to the lamp unit at the same position. The front cowl assembly has a left fixing portion. The left fixing part fixes the 2 nd front cover to the left cover at a position lower than the 3 rd fixing part. The 3 rd fixing part and the left fixing part produce effects similar to those obtained by the 2 nd fixing part and the right fixing part. The following description is made.
The 2 nd front cover can be reinforced by the left side cover 1.
The 3 rd fixing part and the left fixing part respectively fix the 2 nd front cover to the left side cover. The left cover is smaller than the 2 nd front cover, so the left cover has higher rigidity. Therefore, the left side cover can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover. That is, the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover can be further improved by the rigidity of the left cover.
And 2, a branch path of the left side cover is formed, and the 2 nd front cover can be supported by the left fixing part.
The branch path of the left cover branches from the branch path of the lamp unit, and transmits the supporting force of the head pipe to the 2 nd front cover. The branch path of the left side cover is formed by the 3 rd fixing part and the left fixing part. Specifically, the branch path of the left cover connects the 3 rd fixing section, the left cover, the left fixing section, and the 2 nd front cover in this order. The branch path of the left cover is connected to the branch path of the lamp unit at the 3 rd fixing portion. Since the 3 rd fixing part is disposed at a position lower than the 1 st fixing part, the branch path of the left cover is connected to the branch path of the lamp unit at a position lower than the main path. Since the left fixing portion is disposed at a position lower than the 3 rd fixing portion, the branch path of the left cover extends downward from the branch path of the lamp unit. Part of the supporting force of the head pipe flows from the branch path of the lamp unit to the branch path of the left cover at the 3 rd fixing portion. In the branch path of the left side cover, a part of the supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted from the 3 rd fixing portion to the left side cover. Thus, the lamp unit supports the left cover via the 3 rd fixing portion by the supporting force of the head pipe. In the branch path of the left side cover, the supporting force of the head pipe is transmitted from the left side cover to the 2 nd front cover through the left fixing portion. Thus, the left side cover supports the 2 nd front cover via the left fixing portion by the supporting force of the head pipe. That is, the 3 rd fixing portion supports the left cover by the supporting force of the head pipe. The left fixing part supports the 2 nd front cover by the supporting force of the head pipe.
And 3. the left side cover can be held in place.
As described above, since the lamp unit can be held at an appropriate position, the 3 rd fixing portion can be held at an appropriate position. Since the 3 rd fixing portion is directly connected to the left side cover, the position of the left side cover is less likely to be affected by the deflection of the 2 nd front cover itself. Even if the 2 nd front cover is flexed, the left side cover can be easily held in place. Therefore, the left side cover can reinforce the 2 nd front cover at an appropriate position. The left side cover can support the 2 nd front cover in a proper position.
And 4, the fixing structure using the 3 rd fixing part can be simplified.
The position where the 3 rd fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover to the lamp unit is the same as the position where the 3 rd fixing portion fixes the left cover to the lamp unit. That is, the 3 rd fixing portion fixes the 2 nd front cover and the left side cover to the lamp unit at 1 place. Therefore, as compared with the case where the 2 nd front cover and the left side cover are fixed to the lamp unit at different positions (i.e., 2 locations), the gap for absorbing the assembly error can be reduced. This can appropriately prevent the assembly strength of the 2 nd front cover, the lamp unit, and the left cover from decreasing, and appropriately prevent the rigidity of the entire front vehicle body cover assembly from decreasing. Further, the number of parts of the 3 rd fixing portion can be reduced, and an increase in weight and an increase in cost of the saddle-ride type vehicle can be prevented.
As described above, since the front cowl assembly includes the lamp fixing portion, the 2 nd front cowl can be reinforced by the lamp unit. Since the lamp fixing portion includes the 2 nd fixing portion and the front vehicle body cover assembly includes the right fixing portion, the 2 nd front cover can be reinforced by the right side cover. Since the lamp fixing portion includes the 3 rd fixing portion and the front vehicle body cover assembly includes the left fixing portion, the 2 nd front cover can be reinforced by the left cover.
The lamp fixing part forms a main path and a branch path of the lamp unit. The 2 nd fixing part and the right fixing part form a branch path of the right side cover. The 3 rd fixing part and the left fixing part form a branch path of the left side cover. These 4 paths transmit the supporting force of the head pipe to 5 or more portions of the 2 nd front cover. The 2 nd front cover part for bearing the support force of the head pipe includes the 2 nd front cover part contacting with the lamp fixing parts, the 2 nd front cover part contacting with the right fixing part and the 2 nd front cover part contacting with the left fixing part. In other words, the lamp fixing portion, the right fixing portion, and the left fixing portion directly support the 2 nd front cover by the supporting force of the head pipe, respectively. Thereby, the entire 2 nd front cover can be appropriately supported.
The branch path of the lamp unit transmits the supporting force of the head pipe to the lamp unit. Thereby, the lamp unit can be appropriately supported. The branch path of the right cover transmits the supporting force of the head pipe to the right cover. This enables the right cover to be appropriately supported. The branch path of the left cover transmits the supporting force of the head pipe to the left cover. This enables the left cover to be appropriately supported.
According to the above configuration, even if the support point of the front body cover assembly is limited, the entire front body cover assembly can be appropriately supported even if the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover is low.
The saddle-ride type vehicle has a leg shield. The leg shield is integrally formed. That is, the leg shield is composed of only 1 component. The leg shield is directly connected with the No. 1 front cover, the No. 2 front cover, the right side cover and the left side cover respectively. This enables the entire front vehicle body cover assembly to be more appropriately supported.
In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, preferably,
the above-mentioned lamp unit includes: a1 st lamp unit and a 2 nd lamp unit which is separated from the 1 st lamp unit;
the above-mentioned opening includes: a1 st opening for the 1 st lamp unit and a 2 nd opening for the 2 nd lamp unit, the 2 nd opening being formed at a position different from the 1 st opening;
the lamp fixing part is classified into: a1 st lamp fixing portion group for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the 1 st lamp unit, and a 2 nd lamp fixing portion group for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the 2 nd lamp unit;
the 1 st lamp fixing part group comprises more than 3 lamp fixing parts;
the 2 nd lamp fixing part group includes more than 3 lamp fixing parts;
the 1 st lamp fixing part group comprises more than 1 st fixing part;
the 2 nd lamp fixing part group comprises more than 1 st fixing part;
at least one of the 1 st lamp fixing part group and the 2 nd lamp fixing part group comprises more than 12 nd fixing parts;
at least one of the 1 st lamp fixing part group and the 2 nd lamp fixing part group includes 1 or more than 3 rd fixing parts.
When the lamp unit includes the 1 st lamp unit and the 2 nd lamp unit, the front vehicle body cover assembly includes 3 or more lamp fixing portions for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the 1 st lamp unit and 3 or more lamp fixing portions for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the 2 nd lamp unit. The former lamp fixing part belongs to the 1 st lamp fixing part group. The latter lamp fixing portion belongs to the 2 nd lamp fixing portion group. This makes it possible to more appropriately reinforce and support the 2 nd front cover.
The 1 st lamp fixing part group includes at least 1 or more 1 st fixing parts, and therefore, the 1 st front cover can appropriately support the 1 st lamp unit and the 2 nd front cover. The 2 nd lamp fixing part group includes at least 1 or more 1 st fixing parts, so the 1 st front cover can properly support the 2 nd lamp unit and the 2 nd front cover. At least one of the 1 st lamp fixing part group and the 2 nd lamp fixing part group includes 1 or more 2 nd fixing parts, so that the lamp unit can appropriately support the right cover and the 2 nd front cover.

the left cover is disposed below the lamp unit;
the length of the left side cover in the vertical direction is shorter than the length of the 2 nd front cover in the vertical direction.
Since the right cover is disposed below the lamp unit, the right cover reinforces and supports a portion of the 2 nd front cover below the opening. Since the length of the right side cover in the vertical direction is shorter than the length of the 2 nd front cover in the vertical direction, the amount of deflection of the lower portion of the right side cover with respect to the upper portion of the right side cover is small. Thus, the right side cover can appropriately reinforce and support the portion of the 2 nd front cover below the opening. Similarly, since the left cover is disposed below the lamp unit, the left cover reinforces and supports a portion below the opening of the 2 nd front cover. The length of the left side cover in the vertical direction is shorter than the length of the 2 nd front cover in the vertical direction, so the amount of deflection of the lower portion of the left side cover with respect to the upper portion of the left side cover is small. Thus, the left side cover can appropriately reinforce and support the portion of the 2 nd front cover below the opening.
In the saddle-ride type vehicle described above, preferably,
the saddle-ride type vehicle includes:
an upper fixing portion for fixing the 2 nd front cover to the leg shield at a position higher than the 1 st fixing portion; and

2. Elements of front body cover assembly 25
The front body cover assembly 25 includes a1 st front cover 41, a 2 nd front cover 45, a right side cover 47R, and a left side cover 47L.
The 1 st front cover 41 is positioned above the front body cover assembly 25. The 2 nd front cover 45 is disposed below the 1 st front cover 41. The right cover 47R is disposed rightward of the 2 nd front cover 45. The left cover 47L is disposed leftward of the 2 nd front cover 45.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the front portion of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the front cowl assembly 25 and the left turn lamp 27L. The front body cover assembly 25 can be divided into a1 st front cover 41, a 2 nd front cover 45, a right side cover 47R, and a left side cover 47L. In other words, the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L may be separated from each other. The front body cover assembly 25 is formed by connecting the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L to each other. The 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L are all made of resin.
The 2 nd front cover 45 is larger than any of the 1 st front cover 41, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L. The 2 nd front cover 45 is constituted by only a single member (molded article). The 2 nd front cover 45 cannot be separated into a plurality of parts. Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45 is more easily flexed than any of the 1 st front cover 41, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L. That is, the 2 nd front cover 45 is low in rigidity. On the other hand, the 1 st front cover 41, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L all have higher rigidity than the 2 nd front cover 45.
Refer to fig. 2. The 2 nd front cover 45 extends downward to the right of the steering device 11, and extends downward to the left of the steering device 11. More specifically, the 2 nd front cover 45 extends to a position lower than the upper end 19a of the front wheel 19 at the right side of the steering device 11. The 2 nd front cover 45 extends to the left of the steering device 11 to a position lower than the upper end 19a of the front wheel 19.
Refer to fig. 1. The 2 nd front cover 45 extends to a position lower than the upper end 19a of the front wheel 19. The 2 nd front cover 45 also extends to a position lower than the lower end 21b of the fender 21. The 2 nd front cover 45 also extends to a position lower than the axle 15.
Fig. 1 clearly shows the above positional relationship. That is, fig. 1 shows the height position h1 of the lower end 45b of the 2 nd front cowl 45, the height position h2 of the axle 15, the height position h3 of the lower end 21b of the fender 21, and the height position h4 of the upper end 19a of the front wheel 19. Height position h1 is lower than height position h 2. Height position h1 is lower than height position h 3. Height position h1 is lower than height position h 4.
The 2 nd front cover 45 is long in the up-down direction Z. Fig. 1 shows a length L1 of the 1 st front cover 41, a length L2 of the 2 nd front cover 45, and a length L3 of the left side cover 47L in the up-down direction Z. Length L2 is longer than length L1. Length L2 is longer than length L3. Although not shown, the length L2 is longer than the length of the right cover 47R in the vertical direction Z. Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45 is lower in rigidity. On the other hand, the 1 st front cover 41, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L have higher rigidity than the 2 nd front cover 45.
Refer to fig. 5. The 2 nd front cover 45 has an opening a for the turn signal lamp 27. The opening a includes a right opening AR for the right winker 27R and a left opening AL for the left winker 27L. Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45 is lower in rigidity.
The opening a is an example of the "opening" in the present invention. The right opening AR is an example of the "1 st opening" in the present invention. The left opening AL is an example of the "2 nd opening" in the present invention.
Further, the turn signal lamp 27 has high rigidity. The right turn signal lamp 27R and the left turn signal lamp 27L have higher rigidity than any of the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L.
The 1 st stay 8 and the 2 nd stay 9 have higher rigidity. The 1 st stay 8 and the 2 nd stay 9 have sufficiently high rigidity as can be considered as elements of the vehicle body frame 3.
Refer to fig. 2. The right cover 47R is disposed on the right side of the steering device 11. The left cover 47L is disposed leftward of the steering device 11.
Refer to fig. 1. At least a part of the left side cover 47L overlaps the steering device 11 when the vehicle is viewed from the side. Although not shown, at least a part of the right side cover 47R overlaps the steering device 11 when the vehicle is viewed from the side.

The connection position where the 1 st stay 8 and the 1 st front cover 41 are connected is, for example, the position of the fixing portion 121. The 1 st stay 8 and the 1 st front cover 41 are connected at a position higher than the turn signal lamp 27. More specifically, the 1 st stay 8 and the 1 st front cover 41 are connected at a position higher than the upper end of the winker 27. Fig. 6 shows a height position h5 at which the 1 st stay 8 and the 1 st front cover 41 are connected, a height position h6R of the upper end of the right turn signal lamp 27R, and a height position h6L of the upper end of the left turn signal lamp 27L. The height position h5 is higher than either of the height positions h6R, h 6L.
The front cowl assembly 25 has lamp fixing portions 123R, 124R, 125R, and 126R. The lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R each fix the 2 nd front cover 45 to the right turn lamp 27R. In particular, the lamp fixing portion 123R fixes the 1 st front cover 41 and the 2 nd front cover 45 to the right turn lamp 27R at the same position. The lamp fixing portion 126R fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right side cover 47R to the right turn lamp 27R at the same position.
The front cowl assembly 25 includes lamp fixing portions 123L, 124L, 125L, and 126L. The lamp fixing portions 123L to 126L each fix the 2 nd front cover 45 to the left turn lamp 27L. In particular, the lamp fixing portion 123L fixes the 1 st bezel 41 and the 2 nd bezel 45 to the left turn lamp 27L at the same position. The lamp fixing portion 126L fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 and the left side cover 47L to the left turn lamp 27L at the same position.
The lamp fixing portion 123R is disposed at a position higher than both of the lamp fixing portions 126R and 126L. The lamp fixing portion 123L is disposed at a position higher than both of the lamp fixing portions 126R and 126L. The lamp fixing portion 123R is disposed at the same height position as the lamp fixing portion 123L. Fig. 6 shows a height position h7R of the lamp fixing portion 123R, a height position h7L of the lamp fixing portion 123L, a height position h8R of the lamp fixing portion 126R, and a height position h8L of the lamp fixing portion 126L. Height position h7R is higher than height positions h8R, h 8L. Height position h8L is higher than height positions h8R, h 8L. Height h7R is the same as height h 8L.
The lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L are examples of the "1 st fixing portion" in the present invention. The lamp fixing portion 126R is an example of the "2 nd fixing portion" in the present invention. The lamp fixing portion 126L is an example of the "3 rd fixing portion" in the present invention.
The front cowl assembly 25 has right fixing portions 127R and 129R. The right fixing portions 127R, 129R fix the 2 nd front cover 45 to the right cover 47R, respectively. The right fixing portions 127R and 129R are lower in height than the lamp fixing portion 126R. Fig. 6 shows the height position h9R of the right fixing portions 127R, 129R. Height position h9R is lower than height position h 8R. The height position of the right fixing portion 127R and the height position of the right fixing portion 129R may be the same or different.
The front cowl assembly 25 has left fixing portions 127L and 129L. The left fixing portions 127L, 129L fix the 2 nd front cover 45 to the left cover 47L, respectively. The left fixing portions 127L, 129L are lower in height than the lamp fixing portion 126L. Fig. 6 shows the height position h9L of the left fixing portions 127L, 129L. Height position h9L is lower than height position h 8L. The height position of the left fixing portion 127L and the height position of the left fixing portion 129L may be the same or different.
The fixing portion 121 is not an element of any of the 1 st stay 8, the front cowl assembly 25, the turn signal lamp 27, and the leg shield 31. The fixing portion 121 is separate from the front cowl assembly 25, the turn signal lamp 27, and the leg shield 31.
The lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R and 123L to 126L are not members of the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, the turn lamp 27, or the leg shield 3. The lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R and 123L to 126L are separate bodies from the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, the turn lamp 27, and the leg shield 31.
The right fixing portions 127R, 129R and the left fixing portions 127L, 129L are not elements of any of the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, the turn signal lamp 27, and the leg shield 31. The right fixing portions 127R, 129R and the left fixing portions 127L, 129L are separate bodies from the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, the turn lamp 27, and the leg shield 31.
3.2. Effects of the main portions of the embodiments
According to the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
The 1 st front cover 41 is connected to the head pipe 4 via the 1 st stay 8. The 1 st front cover 41 has high rigidity and is hard to flex. Therefore, the head pipe 4 can appropriately support the entire 1 st front cover 41.
The 1 st stay 8 has a sufficiently high rigidity, and therefore, it can be considered that the head pipe 4 directly supports the 1 st front cover 41. That is, the connection position of the 1 st stay 8 and the 1 st front cover 41 corresponds to a support point at which the head pipe 4 supports the front cowl assembly 25 (hereinafter, simply referred to as "support point of the front cowl assembly 25"). In the present specification, the force with which the head pipe 4 supports the 1 st front cover 41 is appropriately referred to as "supporting force of the head pipe 4". The supporting force of the head pipe 4 is applied to the 1 st front cover 41 through the supporting point of the front body cover assembly 25.
The portion that can be regarded as the support point of front cowl assembly 25 is only the connection position between 1 st stay 8 and 1 st front cowl 41. That is, the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 does not have a member directly connecting the head pipe 4 and the front cowl assembly 25, which has the same or higher rigidity than the 1 st stay 8, except for the 1 st stay 8.
Since the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 has the fixing portion 121, the 1 st stay 8 and the 1 st front cover 41 can be appropriately fixed.
The 2 nd front cover 45 can be suitably reinforced. As will be described in detail below.
Since the front cowl assembly 25 includes the lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R and 123L to 126L, the 2 nd front cowl 45 can be fixed to the winker lamp 27. The turn signal lamp 27 has high rigidity. Thereby, the turn signal lamp 27 can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45. Specifically, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately prevented from being flexed between the lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R, 123L to 126L.
Since the number of the lamp fixing portions is 3 or more (8 in the present embodiment), the 2 nd front cover 45 can be fixed to the turn signal lamp 27 at 3 or more locations (8 locations in the present embodiment). Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be prevented from being bent over a wide range. In the case where 1 lamp fixing portion is assumed, the 2 nd bezel 45 is reinforced at 1 point where the lamp fixing portion is located. If 2 lamp fixing portions are provided, the 2 nd front cover 45 is reinforced in a linear range connecting the 2 lamp fixing portions. In contrast, in the present embodiment, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be reinforced in a planar range surrounded by 3 or more lamp fixing portions. Thus, according to the present embodiment, the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover 45 can be dramatically improved.
The lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R and 123L to 126L are classified into a right turn lamp fixing portion group for fixing the 2 nd front cover 45 to the right turn lamp 27R and a left turn lamp fixing portion group for fixing the 2 nd front cover 45 to the left turn lamp 27L. Since the right winker fixing portion group includes 3 or more (4 in the present embodiment), the right winker 27R can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45. The left winker fixing portion group includes 3 or more (4 in the present embodiment) of the light fixing portions, and therefore, the left winker 27L can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45.
The right turn lamp fixing portion group is an example of the "1 st lamp fixing portion group" in the present invention. The left winker fixing unit group is an example of the "2 nd winker fixing unit group" in the present invention.
Since the front vehicle body cover assembly 25 includes the lamp fixing portion 126R and the right fixing portions 127R and 129R, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be fixed to the right cover 47R. The right cover 47R has high rigidity. Thus, the right cover 47R can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45. Specifically, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately prevented from being flexed between the lamp fixing portion 126R and the right fixing portions 127R, 129R.
Since the number of the right fixing portions is plural (2 in the present embodiment), the 2 nd front cover 45 can be fixed to the right cover 47R at 3 or more locations (3 locations in the present embodiment). Specifically, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be fixed to the right cover 47R at the position of the lamp fixing portion 126, the position of the right fixing portion 127R, and the position of the right fixing portion 129R. Thus, the right cover 47R can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45.
Since front body cover assembly 25 includes lamp fixing portion 126L and left fixing portions 127L and 129L, 2 nd front cover 45 can be fixed to left cover 47L. The left cover 47L has high rigidity. Thereby, the left cover 47L can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45. Specifically, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately prevented from being flexed between the lamp fixing portion 126L and the left fixing portions 127L, 129L.
Since the number of the left fixing portions is plural (2 in the present embodiment), the 2 nd front cover 45 can be fixed to the left cover 47L at 3 or more locations (3 locations in the present embodiment). Thereby, the left cover 47L can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45.
As described above, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately reinforced by the right turn signal lamp 27R, the left turn signal lamp 27L, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L. Therefore, the rigidity of the entire front cowl assembly 25 can be effectively improved.
Since the lamp fixing portions 126R and 126L are disposed at positions lower than the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L, the lamp fixing portions 126R and 126L reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 at positions lower than the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L. Since the right fixing portions 127R and 129R are disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126R, the right fixing portions 127R and 129R reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126R. Since the left fixing portions 127L and 129L are disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126L, the left fixing portions 127L and 129L reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126L. Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45 having a shape elongated in the vertical direction Z can be appropriately reinforced.
The 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported by a plurality of paths that transmit the supporting force of the head pipe 4. As will be described in detail below.
The lamp fixing portion 123R forms a right main path. The right main path connects the 1 st front cover 41, the lamp fixing portion 123R, and the 2 nd front cover 45 in this order. The right main path transmits the supporting force of the head pipe 4 received by the 1 st front cover 41 to the 2 nd front cover 45. Specifically, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the 1 st front cover 41 to the 2 nd front cover 45 through the lamp fixing portion 123R. Thus, the 1 st front cover 41 can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45 via the lamp fixing portion 123R by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. Fig. 6 schematically shows the right main path.
The lamp fixing portion 123L forms a left main path. The left main path connects the 1 st front cover 41, the lamp fixing portion 123L, and the 2 nd front cover 45 in this order. The left main path transmits the supporting force of the head pipe 4 received by the 1 st front cover 41 to the 2 nd front cover 45. Specifically, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the 1 st front cover 41 to the 2 nd front cover 45 through the lamp fixing portion 123L. Thus, the 1 st front cover 41 can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45 via the lamp fixing portion 123L by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. Fig. 6 schematically shows the left main path.
The right main path and the left main path are examples of the "main path" in the present invention, respectively. Hereinafter, the right main path and the left main path are simply referred to as "main paths" without particularly distinguishing them.
The lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R form branch paths (shunt paths, bypass paths) of the right turn lamp 27R. The branch path of the right turn lamp 27R connects the lamp fixing portion 123R, the right turn lamp 27R, the lamp fixing portions 124R/125R/126R, and the 2 nd front cover 45 in this order. The branch path of the right turn lamp 27R is connected to the right main path at the lamp fixing portion 123R. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe 4 flows from the right main path into the branch path of the right winker lamp 27R. In the branch path of the right turn signal lamp 27R, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the lamp fixing portion 123R to the right turn signal lamp 27R. Thus, the 1 st front cover 41 supports the right turn signal lamp 27R via the lamp fixing portion 123R by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. Further, in the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the right turn lamp 27R to the 2 nd front cover 45 through the lamp fixing portions 124R to 126R. Thus, the right turn lamp 27R supports the 2 nd front cover 45 via the lamp fixing portions 124R to 126R by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. As a result, the right turn lamp 27R can be appropriately supported. In addition, the entire 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported. Fig. 6 schematically shows the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R.
Since the right turn signal lamp fixing portion group includes 3 or more lamp fixing portions (4 in the present embodiment), the branch path of the right turn signal lamp 27R can be formed over a wide range. Thereby, the right turn lamp 27R can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45.
The lamp fixing portions 123L to 126L form a branch path of the left turn lamp 27L. The branch path of the left turn lamp 27L connects the lamp fixing portion 123L, the left turn lamp 27L, the lamp fixing portions 124L/125L/126L, and the 2 nd bezel 45 in this order. The branch path of the left turn lamp 27L is connected to the left main path at the lamp fixing portion 123L. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe 4 flows from the left main path into the branch path of the left winker lamp 27L. In the branch path of the left turn signal lamp 27L, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the lamp fixing portion 123L to the left turn signal lamp 27L. Thus, the 1 st front cover 41 supports the left winker lamp 27L via the lamp fixing portion 123L by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. In the branch path of the left turn signal lamp 27L, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the left turn signal lamp 27L to the 2 nd bezel 45 via the lamp fixing portions 124L to 126L. Thus, the left turn lamp 27L supports the 2 nd front cover 45 via the lamp fixing portions 124L to 126L with the supporting force of the head pipe 4. As a result, the left turn lamp 27L can be appropriately supported. In addition, the entire 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported. Fig. 6 schematically shows a branch path of the left winker lamp 27L.
Since the left winker fixing portion group includes 3 or more lamp fixing portions (4 in the present embodiment), the branch path of the left winker 27L can be formed over a wide range. Thereby, the left turn lamp 27L can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45.
The branch path of the right turn lamp 27R and the branch path of the left turn lamp 27L are examples of the "branch path of the lamp unit" in the present invention, respectively. Hereinafter, the branch path of the turn signal lamp 27 is simply referred to as "branch path of the turn signal lamp 27" without particularly distinguishing the branch path of the right turn signal lamp 27R from the branch path of the left turn signal lamp 27L.
The lamp fixing portion 126R and the right fixing portions 127R, 129R form a branch path of the right cover 47R. The branch path of the right cover 47R connects the lamp fixing portion 126R, the right cover 47R, the right fixing portions 127R/129R, and the 2 nd front cover 45 in this order. The branch path of the right cover 47R is connected to the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R at the lamp fixing portion 126R. Since the lamp fixing portion 126R is disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L, the branch path of the right cover 47R is connected to the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R at a position lower than the main path. Since the right fixing portions 127R and 129R are disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126R, the branch path of the right cover 47R extends downward from the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe 4 flows from the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R into the branch path of the right cover 47R. In the branch path of the right cover 47R, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the lamp fixing portion 126R to the right cover 47R. Thus, the right turn lamp 27R supports the right cover 47R via the lamp fixing portion 126R by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. In the branch path of the right cover 47R, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the right cover 47R to the 2 nd front cover 45 through the right fixing portions 127R and 129R. Thus, the right cover 47R supports the 2 nd front cover 45 via the right fixing portions 127R, 129R by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. As a result, the right cover 47R can be appropriately supported, and the entire 2 nd front cover 45 can be more appropriately supported. Fig. 6 schematically shows the branch path of the right cover 47R.
Since the number of the fixing portions is plural (2 in the present embodiment), the branch path of the right cover 47R can be formed over a wide range. Thus, the right shroud 47R can appropriately support the 2 nd front shroud 45.
The lamp fixing portion 126L and the left fixing portions 127L, 129L form a branch path of the left cover 47L. The branch path of the left cover 47L connects the lamp fixing portion 126L, the left cover 47L, the left fixing portions 127L/129L, and the 2 nd front cover 45 in this order. The branch path of the left cover 47L is connected to the branch path of the left turn lamp 27L at the lamp fixing portion 126L. Since the lamp fixing portion 126L is disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L, the branch path of the left cover 47L is connected to the branch path of the left turn lamp 27L at a position lower than the main path. Since the left fixing portions 127L and 129L are disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126L, the branch path of the left cover 47L extends downward from the branch path of the left turn lamp 27L. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe 4 flows from the branch path of the left winker lamp 27L into the branch path of the left cover 47L. In the branch path of the left cover 47L, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the lamp fixing portion 126L to the left cover 47L. Thus, the left winker lamp 27L supports the left cover 47L via the lamp fixing portion 126L by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. In the branch path of the left side cover 47L, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the left side cover 47L to the 2 nd front cover 45 via the left fixing portions 127L and 129L. Thus, the 2 nd front cover 45 is supported by the left cover 47L via the left fixing portions 127L, 129L by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. As a result, the left cover 47L can be appropriately supported, and the entire 2 nd front cover 45 can be more appropriately supported. Fig. 6 schematically shows the branch path of the left cover 47L.
Since the number of the left fixing portions is plural (2 in the present embodiment), the branch path of the left cover 47L can be formed over a wide range. Thereby, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported by the left cover 47L.
As described above, 2 main paths, 2 branch paths of the winker lamps 27, 1 branch path of the right side cover 47R, and 1 branch path of the left side cover 47L are formed. Each path transmits the supporting force of the head pipe 4. This disperses and transmits the supporting force of the head pipe 4 to 12 positions of the 2 nd front cover 45. In other words, the lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R, 123L to 126L, the right fixing portions 127R, 129R, and the left fixing portions 127L, 129L directly support the 2 nd front cover 45 by the supporting force of the head pipe 4, respectively. Thereby, the entire 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported.
The branch path of the right shroud 47R is connected to the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R at a position lower than the main path, and extends downward from the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R. Thus, even if the 2 nd front cover 45 extends to the low position on the right side of the steering apparatus 11, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported.
The branch path of the left cover 47L is connected to the branch path of the left winker 27L at a position lower than the main path, and extends downward from the branch path of the left winker 27L. Thus, even if the 2 nd front cover 45 extends to the low position on the left side of the steering apparatus 11, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported.
The turn lamp 27, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L can be held in place, respectively. As will be described in detail below.
Since the 1 st front cover 41 is directly connected to the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L, even if the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover 45 itself is low, the positions of the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L are hard to be displaced. Even if the 2 nd front cover 45 is flexed, the positions of the lamp fixing portions 123R, 123L are easily kept constant. Since the lamp fixing portion 123R is directly connected to the right turn lamp 27R, the position of the right turn lamp 27R is less likely to be affected by the deflection of the 2 nd front cover 45 itself. Since the lamp fixing portion 123L is directly connected to the left winker lamp 27L, the position of the left winker lamp 27L is less affected by the deflection of the 2 nd front cover 45 itself. Even if the 2 nd front cover 45 is flexed, it is easy to hold the right and left winkers 27R and 27L in place. Therefore, the turn signal lamp 27 can reinforce and support the 2 nd bezel 45 at an appropriate position.
Since the turn signal lamp 27 can be held at an appropriate position, the lamp fixing portions 126R and 126L can also be held at appropriate positions. Since the lamp fixing portion 126R is directly connected to the right cover 47R, the position of the right cover 47R is less likely to be affected by the deflection of the 2 nd front cover 45 itself. Therefore, the right side cover 47R can reinforce and support the 2 nd front cover 45 at an appropriate position. Since the lamp fixing portion 126L is directly connected to the left cover 47L, the position of the left cover 47L is less likely to be affected by the deflection of the 2 nd front cover 45 itself. Therefore, the left side cover 47L can reinforce and support the 2 nd front cover 45 at an appropriate position.
The fixing structure using the lamp fixing portions 123R, 123L, 126R, 126L can be simplified. As will be described in detail below.
The lamp fixing portion 123R fixes the 1 st front cover 41 and the 2 nd front cover 45 to the right turn lamp 27R at the same position. That is, the lamp fixing portion 123R fixes the 1 st front cover 41 and the 2 nd front cover 45 to the right turn lamp 27R at 1 place. When the 1 st front cover 41 and the 2 nd front cover 45 are fixed to the right turn signal lamp 27R at different positions, the number of fixing positions is 2. In the present embodiment, since the number of fixing portions is small as compared with the case described above, the gap for absorbing the assembly error can be reduced. This can appropriately prevent the reduction in the assembling strength of the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, and the right turn lamp 27R. That is, a decrease in rigidity of the front cowl assembly 25 can be appropriately prevented. In addition, the number of parts of the lamp fixing portion 123R can be reduced. This can prevent the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 from increasing in weight. In addition, the cost increase of the saddle-ride type vehicle 1 can be prevented.
The lamp fixing portion 123L fixes the 1 st bezel 41 and the 2 nd bezel 45 to the left turn lamp 27L at the same position. In the present embodiment, the number of fixing portions is small compared to the case where the 1 st bezel 41 and the 2 nd bezel 45 are fixed to the left turn signal lamp 27L at different positions. This can reduce the gap for absorbing the assembly error, and can appropriately prevent the assembly strength of the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, and the left turn signal lamp 27L from being reduced. In addition, the number of parts of the lamp fixing portion 123L can be reduced.
The lamp fixing portion 126R fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right side cover 47R to the right turn lamp 27R at the same position. In the present embodiment, the number of fixing portions is small compared to the case where the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right side cover 47R are fixed to the right turn signal lamp 27R at different positions. This can reduce the gap for absorbing the assembly error, and can appropriately prevent the assembly strength of the 2 nd front cover 45, the right turn lamp 27R, and the right side cover 47R from being reduced. In addition, the number of components of the lamp fixing portion 126R can be reduced.
The lamp fixing portion 126L fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 and the left side cover 47L to the left turn lamp 27L at the same position. In the present embodiment, the number of fixing portions is small compared to the case where the 2 nd front cover 45 and the left side cover 47L are fixed to the left turn signal lamp 27L at different positions. This can reduce the gap for absorbing the assembly error, and can appropriately prevent the assembly strength of the 2 nd front cover 45, the left turn signal lamp 27L, and the left cover 47L from being reduced. In addition, the number of components of the lamp fixing portion 126L can be reduced.
The support point of the front body cover assembly 25 is located at the upper portion of the front body cover assembly 25. The front cowl assembly 25 is supported at a higher point than the winker lamp 27. Therefore, the support point of the front cowl assembly 25 cannot be said to be arranged at a desired position. The number of support points of the front cowl assembly 25 is only 1. Therefore, the supporting point of the front cowl assembly 25 can be said to be limited. Further, the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover 45 is relatively low, so that the 2 nd front cover 45 is easily flexed. Even in such a case, according to the above-described configuration, the front cowl assembly 25 can be appropriately supported. That is, the support strength of the front cowl assembly 25 can be appropriately ensured.
The winker lamp 27 includes 2 lamp units (i.e., a right winker lamp 27R and a left winker lamp 27L), and thus, 2 fixed part groups (i.e., a right winker fixed part group and a left winker fixed part group) are configured. Each of the fixing portion groups includes 3 or more lamp fixing portions. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of the lamp fixing portions is large as compared with the case where the turn lamp 27 includes only 1 lamp unit. This enables the 2 nd front cover 45 to be more appropriately reinforced and supported.
The right turn signal fixing portion group includes a lamp fixing portion 123R, and the left turn signal fixing portion group includes a lamp fixing portion 123L. The 1 st front cover 41 supports the 2 nd front cover 45 via 2 lamp fixing portions 123R, 123L. Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be supported more appropriately.
Since the right winker fixing portion group includes the lamp fixing portion 126R, the right winker lamp 27R can appropriately support the right cover 47R via the lamp fixing portion 126R. Similarly, since the left winker lamp fixing portion group includes the lamp fixing portion 126L, the left winker lamp 27L can appropriately support the left cover 47L via the lamp fixing portion 126L.
The lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R and 123L to 126L are separate bodies from the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, the turn lamp 27, and the leg shield 31. Therefore, the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, and the turn signal lamp 27 can be firmly fixed.
The right fixing portions 127R, 129R and the left fixing portions 127L, 129L are separate bodies from the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, the turn lamp 27, and the leg shield 31. Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, the left side cover 47L, and the turn lamp 27 can be firmly fixed.
The fixing portion 121 is separate from the 1 st stay 8, the front cowl assembly 25, the turn signal lamp 27, and the leg shield 31. Therefore, the 1 st stay 8 and the 1 st front cover 41 can be firmly fixed.
4. Detailed description of the respective configurations
Hereinafter, each configuration of the present embodiment will be described in more detail.
4-1. Structure of No. 1 front cover 41
Reference is made to fig. 1-3. The 1 st front cover 41 is disposed forward of the head pipe 4 (see fig. 1). The 1 st front cover 41 extends forward and downward (see fig. 1). The width of the 1 st front cover 41 becomes narrower toward the front (see fig. 3). Here, the width of the 1 st front cover 41 is the length of the 1 st front cover 41 in the width direction Y.
The outer shape of the 1 st front cover 41 is substantially triangular in front view and plan view (see fig. 2 and 3). In fig. 2, the approximate positions of the right edge portion 41a, the left edge portion 41b, and the rear edge portion 41c are schematically shown. Since the 1 st front cover 41 has a substantially triangular shape, the 1 st front cover 41 has higher rigidity.
The peripheral edge portion of 1 st cowl 41 includes a right edge portion 41a, a left edge portion 41b, and a rear edge portion 41 c. These right edge 41a, left edge 41b, and rear edge 41c define the outline of the 1 st cowl 41 as a substantially triangular shape.
The right edge 41a and the left edge 41b are connected to each other at the front of the 1 st cowl 41. The right edge 41a extends rearward, upward, and rightward from the front portion of the 1 st cowl 41. The left edge 41b extends rearward, upward and leftward from the front portion of the 1 st cowl 41. The rear portion of the right edge portion 41a is connected to the rear edge portion 41 c. The rear portion of the left edge portion 41b is connected to the rear edge portion 41 c.
The 1 st cowl 41 does not have openings for the winker lamps 27 and the headlight 24. Therefore, the 1 st front cover 41 has higher rigidity.
Refer to fig. 7. Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the 1 st front cover 41. The 1 st front cover 41 includes a1 st front cover body 42 and a panel 43. The 1 st front cover body 42 and the panel 43 are separable from each other.
The 1 st front cover body 42 is larger than the panel 43. The panel 43 is located at the rear part of the 1 st front cover 41 and at the center in the width direction Y. The other part of the 1 st cowl 41 is a1 st cowl body 42. The 1 st cowl body 42 includes all of the right edge portion 41a and the left edge portion 41b described above.
Refer to fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the panel 43 as viewed from the rear. The panel 43 has joining portions 51R, 51L. The coupling portions 51R, 51L are coupled to the leg shield 31. In the present specification, a portion to be coupled by the fixing portion is referred to as a "coupling portion".
The coupling portions 51R, 51L have, for example, through holes (through holes) E. The through hole E has a size in which the fixing portion can be disposed. The coupling portions 51R and 51L have a seat F around the through hole E, for example. The seat F is in contact with at least one of the other coupling portion and a fixing portion described later. The through hole E is formed in the seat F.
The panel 43 has contact portions 53, 54R, 54L, 55R, 55L. The contact portions 53, 54R, 54L, 55R, 55L are in contact with the 1 st front cover body 42. The contact portion 54R is disposed rightward of the contact portion 54L. Contact portion 55R is disposed rightward of contact portion 55L. In the present specification, a portion joined without a fixing portion is referred to as a "contact portion", and is distinguished from a coupling portion.
The contact portions 53, 54R, 54L, 55R, and 55L have, for example, a convex portion T. The convex portion T may have a return portion (protrusion) formed at a tip thereof. Thus, the panel 43 can be appropriately fixed to the 1 st front cover body 42. The projection T may have a flat plate shape or a pin shape.
Refer to fig. 9. Fig. 9 is an enlarged perspective view of the contact portion 55R. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the panel 43 viewed from obliquely below. As shown in the figure, the convex portion T of the contact portion 55R has a return portion (protrusion) protruding rightward. Although not shown, the convex portion T of the contact portion 55L has a returning portion protruding leftward.
Refer to fig. 10 and 11. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the 1 st cowl body 42 as viewed from the rear. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of the 1 st cowl body 42 as viewed from behind and below the 1 st cowl body 42. The 1 st front cover body 42 has coupling portions 61, 62, 63R, 63L, 64R, 64L. The joint 61 is joined to the 1 st stay 8. The coupling portions 62, 63R, 63L are coupled to the 2 nd front cover 45. The coupling portion 63R is also coupled to the right turn lamp 27R. The joint 63L is also joined to the left winker lamp 27L. The coupling portions 64R, 64L are coupled to the leg shield 31.
The coupling portion 63R is disposed right and below the coupling portion 61. The coupling portion 63L is disposed leftward and downward of the coupling portion 61.
The structure of the coupling portion 61 and the like is exemplified below. In this case, when the structures of the coupling portions 61 and the like have the same functions as those of the coupling portion 51, the structures of the coupling portions 61 and the like are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the coupling portion 51 for convenience. For example, the through hole of the coupling portion 61 is also denoted by the symbol "E". In this case, the through hole E of the coupling portion 61 may have the same shape as the through hole E of the coupling portion 51R or may have a different shape. The same applies to the other joint portions and the other contact portions.
The coupling portions 61 and 62 have, for example, through holes E. Each of the coupling portions 61 and 62 has a seat F around the through hole E, for example.
The coupling portions 63R, 63L have, for example, screw holes J. The screw hole J is combined with the fixing part. The screw hole J is screwed to the fixing portion, for example. The screw hole J may have, for example, a female screw (not shown) formed on an inner peripheral surface thereof. The coupling portions 63R and 63L include, for example, a cylindrical portion K. The threaded hole J is formed by the cylindrical portion K. More specifically, the screw hole J is formed in the center of the upper surface of the cylindrical portion K. The coupling portions 63R and 63L have, for example, a base portion M. The lower part (base end part) of the cylinder part K is connected with the base part M. The base M extends outward from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion K.
The coupling portions 64R, 64L have, for example, screw holes J. The coupling portions 64R and 64L have, for example, a cylindrical portion K constituting the screw hole J.
The 1 st front cover body 42 has contact portions 66, 67R, 67L, 68R, 68L. The contact portions 66, 67R, 67L, 68R, 68L are in contact with the panel 43 (more specifically, the contact portions 53, 54R, 54L, 55R, 55L). The contact portions 66, 67R, 67L, 68R, 68L have, for example, a recess S. The concave portion S is fitted to the convex portion T. The recess S may be an opening. That is, the recess S may be formed to penetrate the 1 st front cover body 42. Or the recess S may have a bottom surface. That is, the recess S may not penetrate the 1 st front cover main body 42.

The fixing portion 121 is disposed rearward of the right opening AR and the left opening AL. The fixing portion 121 is disposed leftward of the right opening AR. The fixing portion 121 is disposed rightward of the left opening AL.
The coupling portion 61 fixed by the fixing portion 121 is disposed at substantially the same position as the fixing portion 121. Thus, the above description of the position of the fixing portion 121 is also referred to as the position of the coupling portion 61. That is, in the above description about the position of the fixing portion 121, "the fixing portion 121" may be replaced with "the coupling portion 61". Similarly, the description of the position of the other fixing portion is also applied to the position of the coupling portion fixed by the fixing portion.
Refer to fig. 17. Fig. 17 is a sectional view taken along line XVII-XVII in fig. 16. Fig. 17 illustrates a coupling structure using the fixing portion 121.

Thereby, the convex portion T of the contact portion 53 is fitted with the concave portion S of the contact portion 66. The panel 43 is fixed to the 1 st front cover body 42 by engagement of the contact portions 53, 66. Further, the contact portions 53, 66 are joined without fixing portions. Therefore, the joining structure of the contact portions 53, 66 is simpler than the joining structure of the joining portions. The contact portions 53, 66 can easily fix the panel 43 and the 1 st front cover body 42.
Fig. 20 is a sectional view taken along line XX-XX in fig. 19. Fig. 20 illustrates an example of the joint structure of the contact portions 55R, 68R and the joint structure of the contact portions 55L, 68L.

The convex portion T of the contact portion 55L is disposed in the concave portion S of the contact portion 68L. The convex portions T of the contact portions 55R and 55L have return portions. Therefore, the contact portions 55R, 55L can be appropriately engaged with the contact portions 68R, 68L. The returning portion of the convex portion T of the contact portion 55R protrudes in the opposite direction to the returning portion of the convex portion T of the contact portion 55L. Therefore, the contact portions 55R, 55L can be effectively prevented from coming off the contact portions 68R, 68L. The returning portion of the convex portion T of the contact portion 55R protrudes rightward, and the returning portion of the convex portion T of the contact portion 55L protrudes leftward. Therefore, the movement of the panel 43 in the right and left directions with respect to the 1 st front cover body 42 can be appropriately suppressed.

Fig. 25 is a sectional view taken along line XXV-XXV in fig. 15. The coupling structure using the right fixing portion 127R is the same as the coupling structure using the left fixing portion 127L. Fig. 25 illustrates 1 diagram of each coupling structure using the right fixing portion 127R and the left fixing portion 127L.
The coupling portions 86R, 111R are laminated at the position of the right fixing portion 127R. The seat F of the joint portion 86R and the seat F of the joint portion 111R contact each other. The through hole E of the coupling portion 86R and the through hole E of the coupling portion 111R are disposed at the same position. The right fixing portion 127R is, for example, a screw B and a spring steel insert nut Ns. The screws B are disposed in the through holes E of the coupling portions 86R and 111R. The screw B penetrates the through hole E of each coupling portion 86R, 111R. The spring steel insert nut Ns is attached to the screw B to prevent the respective joint portions 86R, 111R from coming off the screw B. Thereby, the right fixing portion 127R couples the coupling portions 86R, 111R.
Similarly, the left fixing portion 127L couples the coupling portions 86L, 111L.
Fig. 26 is a sectional view taken along line XXVI-XXVI in fig. 15. The same coupling structure is used for the right fixing portion 129R and the left fixing portion 129L. Fig. 26 illustrates 1 coupling structure using the right fixing portion 129R and the left fixing portion 129L.
The coupling portions 91R, 115R are laminated at the position of the right fixing portion 129R. The shaft portion I of the coupling portion 115R is disposed in the through hole E of the coupling portion 91R. The shaft portion I of the coupling portion 115R penetrates the through hole E of the coupling portion 91R.
The right fixing portion 129R has, for example, a spring steel tab nut Ns. The spring steel insert nut Ns is attached to the shaft portion I to prevent the seat portion F of the joint portion 91R from coming off the shaft portion I. Thereby, the right fixing portion 129R couples the coupling portions 91R, 115R.
Similarly, the left fixing portion 129L connects the connecting portions 91L and 115L.
See fig. 27(a) and 27 (b). Fig. 27(a) is a plan view showing an example of the fixing portion, and fig. 27(b) is a side view showing an example of the fixing portion. Fig. 27(a) and 27(b) show an example of the spring steel insert nut Ns included in the right and left fixing portions 129R and 129L. The spring steel insert nut Ns is also called a locknut (push nut). The spring steel insert nut Ns has a body part Ns1 and a plurality of claw parts Ns 2. The body part Ns1 has a circular flat plate shape. An opening O is formed in the center of the body part Ns 1. The claw portion Ns2 protrudes from the main body portion Ns1 toward the center of the opening O, and is tilted in a direction D perpendicular to the surface of the opening O. When the shaft portion I is pushed in the direction D toward the opening O, the claw portion Ns2 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion I, thereby preventing the shaft portion I from coming off the opening O. In this way, the spring steel insert nut Ns can be appropriately attached to the shaft portion I having no thread groove.

6. Effect
The saddle-ride type vehicle 1 according to the embodiment achieves the effects of the main portion of the present embodiment described above. The effects of the above-described main portions will be described supplementarily.
Reinforcement of No. 2 front cover
The right winker lamp 27R has high rigidity, and therefore, the relative positions of the joint portions 105R to 108R are not easily displaced. The coupling portions 105R to 108R are fixed to the coupling portions 82R to 84R, 87R of the 2 nd front cover 45 by lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R, respectively. This can appropriately prevent the 2 nd front cover 45 from being bent between the joining portions 82R to 84R, 87R.
Similarly, the coupling portions 105L to 108L of the left turn signal lamp 27L are fixed to the coupling portions 82L to 84L, 87L of the 2 nd front cover 45 by lamp fixing portions 123L to 126L. This can appropriately prevent the 2 nd front cover 45 from being bent between the joining portions 82L to 84L, 87L.
Since the coupling portions 82R to 84R, 87R are disposed at the right opening edge portion 72R, the periphery of the right opening AR can be appropriately prevented from being bent. In other words, since the lamp fixing portions 123R to 126R are disposed on the right opening edge portion 72R, the right opening edge portion 72R can be appropriately reinforced.
Similarly, since the coupling portions 82L to 84L, 87L are disposed at the left opening edge portion 72L, the periphery of the left opening AL can be appropriately prevented from being bent. In other words, since the lamp fixing portions 123L to 126L are disposed on the left opening edge portion 72L, the left opening edge portion 72L can be appropriately reinforced.
The lamp fixing portions 123R and 125R are disposed above the right opening AR, the lamp fixing portion 124R is disposed on the left of the right opening AR, and the lamp fixing portion 126R is disposed below the right opening AR. Therefore, the right opening edge portion 72R can be effectively prevented from being flexed.
Similarly, the lamp fixing portions 123L and 125L are disposed above the left opening AL, the lamp fixing portion 124L is disposed to the right of the left opening AL, and the lamp fixing portion 126L is disposed below the left opening AL. Therefore, the left opening edge portion 72L can be effectively prevented from being flexed.
The right cover 47R has high rigidity, and therefore, the relative positions of the joint portions 111R to 113R and 115R are not easily displaced. The coupling portions 111R to 113R and 115R are fixed to the coupling portions 86R to 88R, 91R of the 2 nd front cover 45 by a lamp fixing portion 126R, right fixing portions 127R, 129R, and a fixing portion 128R, respectively. This can appropriately prevent the 2 nd front cover 45 from being flexed between the joining portions 86R-88R, 91R.
Similarly, the coupling portions 111L to 113L and 115LR of the left side cover 47L are fixed to the coupling portions 86L to 88L and 91L of the 2 nd front cover 45 by the lamp fixing portion 126L, the left fixing portions 127L and 129L, and the fixing portion 128L, respectively. This can appropriately prevent the 2 nd front cover 45 from being bent between the joining portions 86L-88L, 91L.
Since the coupling portions 86R to 88R are disposed on the lower edge portion 74R and the coupling portion 91R is disposed on the right lower portion 77R, the lower edge portion 74R and the right lower portion 77R can be appropriately prevented from being bent. In other words, since the lamp fixing portion 126R, the right fixing portion 127R, and the fixing portion 128R are disposed on the lower edge portion 74R and the right fixing portion 129R is disposed on the right lower portion 77R, the lower edge portion 74R and the right lower portion 77R can be appropriately reinforced.
Similarly, since the coupling portions 86L to 88L are disposed on the lower edge portion 74L and the coupling portion 91L is disposed on the left lower portion 77L, the lower edge portion 74L and the left lower portion 77L can be appropriately prevented from being bent. In other words, since the lamp fixing portion 126L, the left fixing portion 127L, and the fixing portion 128L are disposed on the lower edge portion 74L and the left fixing portion 129L is disposed on the left lower portion 77L, the lower edge portion 74L and the left lower portion 77L can be appropriately reinforced.
Since the right fixing portions 127R and 129R are disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126R, the right cover 47R can reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126R.
Similarly, since the left fixing portions 127L and 129L are disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126L, the left cover 47L can reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 at a position lower than the lamp fixing portion 126L.
Since the fixing portion 128R is disposed at a position higher than the lamp fixing portion 126R, the right cover 47R can reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 at a position higher than the lamp fixing portion 126R.
Similarly, since the fixing portion 128L is disposed at a position higher than the lamp fixing portion 126L, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be reinforced by the left cover 47L at a position higher than the lamp fixing portion 126L.
Path of support force with respect to the transmission head pipe 4
Fig. 35(a) is a front view of a part (left part) of the front cowl assembly 25. FIG. 35(b) is a sectional view taken along the line XXXV-XXXV in FIG. 35 (a). Fig. 35(b) shows the left main path, the branch path of the left winker 27L, and the branch path of the left side cover 47L.
More specifically, the left main path is connected to the connection portion 63L, the lamp fixing portion 123L, and the connection portion 83L in this order. Regarding the branch path of the left turn signal 27L, more specifically, the lamp fixing portion 123L, the coupling portion 105L, the coupling portion 106L/107L/108L, the lamp fixing portion 125L/124L/126L, and the coupling portion 84L/82L/87L are connected in this order. Fig. 35(b) shows only a path in which the lamp fixing portion 123L, the coupling portion 105L, the coupling portion 108L, the lamp fixing portion 126L, and the coupling portion 87L are coupled in this order as a branch path of the left turn lamp 27L. More specifically, the branch path of the left cover 47L is connected to the lamp fixing portion 126L, the connecting portion 112L, the connecting portions 111L/115L, the left fixing portion 127L/129L, and the connecting portions 86L/91L in this order. Fig. 35(b) shows only a path in which the lamp fixing portion 126L, the coupling portion 112L, the coupling portion 115L, the left fixing portion 129L, and the coupling portion 91L are coupled in this order as a branch path of the left cover 47L.
In the right portion of front vehicle body cover assembly 25, a path for transmitting the supporting force of head pipe 4 is formed, similarly to the left portion of front vehicle body cover assembly 25. That is, the right main path is more specifically connected by the connection portion 63R, the lamp fixing portion 123R, and the connection portion 83R in this order. More specifically, the branch paths of the right turn signal lamp 27R are connected in the order of the lamp fixing portion 123R, the connecting portion 105R, the connecting portions 106R/107R/108R, the lamp fixing portions 125R/124R/126R, and the connecting portions 84R/82R/87R. More specifically, the branch path of the right cover 47R is connected to the lamp fixing portion 126R, the connecting portion 112R, the connecting portions 111R/115R, the right fixing portions 127R/129R, and the connecting portions 86R/91R in this order.
Although not shown, the fixing portion 128L forms a new branch path (for convenience, referred to as an "upper left branch path"). The upper left branch path connects the lamp fixing portion 126L, the coupling portion 112L, the coupling portion 113L, the fixing portion 128L, and the coupling portion 88L in this order. The upper left branch path is connected to the branch path of the left turn lamp 27L at the lamp fixing portion 126L. The lamp fixing portion 126L is disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L, and the fixing portion 128L is disposed at a position higher than the lamp fixing portion 126L. Therefore, the upper left branch path is connected to the branch path of the left turn signal lamp 27L at a position lower than the main path, and extends upward from the branch path of the left turn signal lamp 27L. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe 4 flows from the branch path of the left turn lamp 27L into the upper left branch path. In the upper left branch path, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the lamp fixing portion 126L to the coupling portion 113L through the coupling portion 112L, and further transmitted from the coupling portion 113L to the coupling portion 88L through the fixing portion 128L. Thus, the 2 nd front cover 45 is supported by the left cover 47L via the fixing portion 128L by the supporting force of the head pipe 4. This enables the 2 nd front cover 45 to be more appropriately supported as a whole.
Similarly, the fixing portion 128R forms a new branch path (for convenience, referred to as "upper right branch path"). The upper right branch path connects the lamp fixing portion 126R, the coupling portion 112R, the coupling portion 113R, the fixing portion 128R, and the coupling portion 88R in this order. The right upper branch path is connected to a branch path of the right turn lamp 27R at the lamp fixing portion 126R. The lamp fixing portion 126R is disposed at a position lower than the lamp fixing portions 123R, 123L, and the fixing portion 128R is disposed at a position higher than the lamp fixing portion 126R. Therefore, the upper right branch path is connected to the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R at a position lower than the main path, and extends upward from the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R. A part of the supporting force of the head pipe 4 flows from the branch path of the right turn lamp 27R into the upper right branch path. In the upper right branch path, the supporting force of the head pipe 4 is transmitted from the lamp fixing portion 126R to the coupling portion 113R through the coupling portion 112R, and further transmitted from the coupling portion 113R to the coupling portion 88R through the fixing portion 128R. Thus, the right cover 47R supports the 2 nd front cover 45 via the fixing portion 128R by the supporting force of the head pipe 4.
Further, according to the embodiment, effects other than the effects of the main portion described above are obtained. The following description is made.
The front body cover assembly 25 can be divided into a1 st front cover 41, a 2 nd front cover 45, a right side cover 47R, and a left side cover 47L. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the front cowl assembly 25 is high, and the design of the front cowl assembly 25 can be easily improved.
The 1 st front cover 41 can be further divided into a1 st front cover body 42 and a panel 43. This can more easily improve the design of the front cowl assembly 25.
Since the lamp fixing portion 123R is disposed right below the fixing portion 121 (i.e., the connection position between the 1 st front cover 41 and the 1 st stay 8), the 1 st front cover 41 supports the 2 nd front cover 45 right below the fixing portion 121. Since the lamp fixing portion 123L is disposed leftward and downward of the fixing portion 121, the 1 st front cover 41 supports the 2 nd front cover 45 leftward and downward of the connecting position of the fixing portion 121. Therefore, the 2 nd front cover 45 can be supported in a well-balanced manner. Further, since the lamp fixing portion 123R and the lamp fixing portion 123L are disposed at the same height position, the 1 st front cover 41 can support the 2 nd front cover 45 more in a balanced manner. The 1 st front cover 41 supports the right winker 27R at a position to the right of the fixing portion 121, and supports the left winker 27L at a position to the left of the fixing portion 121. Therefore, the 1 st front cover 41 can appropriately support the right and left winkers 27R and 27L, respectively.
Rather than the right turn signal lamp 27R having a planar shape, the right turn signal lamp 27R has a three-dimensional shape. In other words, rather than the right turn lamp 27R having a thin plate shape, the right turn lamp 27R has a block shape. Thus, the right turn lamp 27R has high rigidity. For the same reason, the left winker lamp 27L also has high rigidity. Therefore, the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover 45 can be sufficiently improved by the rigidity of the right turn signal lamp 27R and the left turn signal lamp 27L.
The distance between the fixing portion 121 and the lamp fixing portion 123R is substantially equal to the distance between the fixing portion 121 and the lamp fixing portion 123L. Therefore, the 1 st front cover 41 can support the 2 nd front cover 45 in a well-balanced manner.
The lamp fixing portion 123R and the lamp fixing portion 123L are disposed symmetrically with respect to an imaginary line parallel to the vertical direction Z passing through the fixing portion 121 in a front view. Therefore, the 1 st front cover 41 can support the 2 nd front cover 45 more in a balanced manner.
Since the lamp fixing portion 126R is disposed on the right side of the lamp fixing portion 123R, the lamp fixing portion 126R can appropriately fix the right cover 47R to the right turn lamp 27R. Since the lamp fixing portion 126L is disposed leftward of the lamp fixing portion 123L, the lamp fixing portion 126L can appropriately fix the left cover 47L to the left turn lamp 27L.
Since the lamp fixing portion 126R is disposed rearward of the lamp fixing portion 123R, the lamp fixing portion 126R can appropriately fix the right cover 47R to the right turn lamp 27R. Since the lamp fixing portion 126L is disposed rearward of the lamp fixing portion 123L, the lamp fixing portion 126L can appropriately fix the left cover 47L to the left turn lamp 27L.
At the position of the lamp fixing portion 123R, the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, and the right turn lamp 27R are stacked in this order. Thereby, the 1 st front cover 41 can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right turn lamp 27R via the lamp fixing portion 123R. In addition, the right turn lamp 27R can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 via the lamp fixing portion 123R.
At the position of the lamp fixing portion 126R, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, and the right turn lamp 27R are laminated in this order. Thereby, the right turn lamp 27R can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right side cover 47R via the lamp fixing portion 126R. In addition, the right turn lamp 27R and the right side cover 47R can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 via the lamp fixing portion 126R.
At the position of the lamp fixing portion 126L, the 2 nd front cover 45, the left side cover 47L, and the left winker lamp 27L are laminated in this order. Thereby, the left turn lamp 27L can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45 and the left side cover 47L via the lamp fixing portion 126L. In addition, the left turn lamp 27L and the left cover 47L can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45 via the lamp fixing portion 126L.
The coupling portion 105R extends upward from the winker body 101R. Therefore, the lamp fixing portion 123R can fix the 1 st front cover 41 and the 2 nd front cover 45 to the right turn lamp 27R at a position above the turn lamp main body 101R. Similarly, the coupling portion 105L extends upward from the winker body 101L. Therefore, the lamp fixing portion 123L can fix the 1 st bezel 41 and the 2 nd bezel 45 to the left winker 27L at a position above the winker main body 101L.
The coupling portion 108R extends downward from the winker body 101R. Therefore, the lamp fixing portion 126R can fix the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right cover 47R to the right turn lamp 27R at a position lower than the turn lamp main body 101R. Similarly, the coupling portion 108L extends downward from the winker body 101L. Therefore, the lamp fixing portion 126L can fix the 2 nd front cover 45 and the left side cover 47L to the left winker 27L at a position lower than the winker main body 101L.
At least one of the right fixing portions (in the present embodiment, the right fixing portion 129R) is disposed rearward of the lamp fixing portion 126R, so that the right cover 47R can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45. At least one of the left fixing portions (the left fixing portion 129L in the present embodiment) is disposed rearward of the lamp fixing portion 126L, so that the left cover 47L can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45.
At least one of the right fixing portions (the right fixing portion 127R in the present embodiment) is disposed forward of the lamp fixing portion 126R, so that the right cover 47R can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45. At least one of the left fixing portions 129L (the left fixing portion 129L in the present embodiment) is disposed forward of the lamp fixing portion 126L, so that the left cover 47L can appropriately reinforce the 2 nd front cover 45.
The right edge 41a of the 1 st front cover 41 and the upper edge 73R of the 2 nd front cover 45 extend in substantially the same direction. Therefore, the right edge 41a and the upper edge 73R can be easily connected. Similarly, the left edge portion 41b of the 1 st front cover 41 and the upper edge portion 73L of the 2 nd front cover 45 both extend in substantially the same direction. Therefore, the left edge portion 41b and the upper edge portion 73L can be easily connected. As a result, the 1 st front cover 41 can appropriately support the 2 nd front cover 45.
The leg shield 31 is directly connected to the 1 st front cover 41, the 2 nd front cover 45, the right side cover 47R, and the left side cover 47L, respectively. Specifically, the 1 st front cover 41 is connected to the leg shield 31 via the fixing portions 132R, 132L, 133R, 133L. The 2 nd front cover 45 is connected to the leg shield 31 via the fixing portions 134R to 136R, 134L to 136L. The right cover 47R is connected to the leg shield 31 via the fixing portion 137R. The left cover 47L is connected to the leg shield 31 via the fixing portion 137L. The leg shield 31 is integrally formed, and is not an assembly in which a plurality of parts are connected. Therefore, the leg shield 31 can further improve the support strength of the front body cover assembly 25.
Further, the leg shield 31 is directly connected to the panel 43 and the 1 st front cover body 42, respectively. This can further improve the support strength of the 1 st front cover 41.
The leg shield 31 is connected to the 2 nd stay 9. This enables the head pipe 4 to appropriately support the leg shield 31.
Since the 2 nd front cover 45 has the contact portions 94R, 95R, 96R, and 97R and the right cover 47R has the contact portions 116R, 117R, 118R, and 119R, the assembling strength of the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right cover 47R can be further improved. Similarly, since the 2 nd front cover 45 has the contact portions 94L, 95L, 96L, and 97L and the left side cover 47L has the contact portions 116L, 117L, 118L, and 119L, the assembling strength of the 2 nd front cover 45 and the left side cover 47L can be further improved.
The fixing portions 134R and 134L fix the 2 nd front cover 45 to the leg shield 31 at a position higher than the lamp fixing portions 123R and 123L. The fixing portions 135R, 135L, 136R, 136L fix the 2 nd front cover 45 to the leg shield 31 at a position lower than either of the right fixing portions 127R, 129R and the left fixing portions 127L, 129L. Therefore, the entire 2 nd front cover 45 can be appropriately supported by the leg shield 31.
The 2 nd front cowl 45 extends to a position lower than the axle 15 in the right direction of the steering device 11, and extends to a position lower than the axle 15 in the left direction of the steering device 11. Even with such a 2 nd front cover 45, according to the present embodiment, the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover 45 can be effectively improved. Further, the support strength of the entire front cowl assembly 25 including the 2 nd front cowl 45 can be appropriately ensured.
Since the right cover 47R is disposed below the right turn lamp 27R, the right cover 47R can appropriately prevent the portion of the 2 nd front cover 45 located below the right opening AR from being bent. Similarly, since the left cover 47L is disposed below the left winker lamp 27L, the left cover 47L can appropriately prevent the portion of the 2 nd front cover 45 located below the left opening AL from being bent.
The length of the right cover 47R in the up-down direction Z is shorter than the length L2 of the 2 nd front cover 45 in the up-down direction Z. Therefore, the amount of deflection between the lower portion and the upper portion of the right cover 47R is small. Therefore, even if the 2 nd front cover 45 has a shape that is long in the vertical direction Z, the right side cover 47R can effectively improve the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover 45. Similarly, the length L3 of the left cover 47L in the vertical direction Z is shorter than the length L2 of the 2 nd front cover 45 in the vertical direction Z. Therefore, even if the 2 nd front cover 45 has a shape that is long in the vertical direction Z, the left side cover 47L can effectively improve the rigidity of the 2 nd front cover 45.

Hereinafter, the lamp fixing portion is referred to as "lamp fixing portion P" for convenience.
The front vehicle body cover assembly 25 has 3 or more lamp fixing portions P for fixing the 2 nd front cover 45 to the lamp unit. Here, the lamp fixing portion P of at least one of the front cover 1 and the front cover 2 is the 1 st fixing portion P1 for fixing the front cover 1 and the front cover 2 to the lamp unit at the same position. The lamp fixing portion P of at least any one other than the 1 st fixing portion P1 is the 2 nd fixing portion P2 that fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 and the right side cover 47R to the lamp unit at the same position. The lamp fixing portion P of at least any one other than the 1 st fixing portion P1 and the 2 nd fixing portion P2 is the 3 rd fixing portion P3 that fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 and the left side cover 47L to the lamp unit at the same position.

Hereinafter, the lamp fixing portion is referred to as a lamp fixing portion P for convenience. Each of the 3 lamp units is referred to as a lamp unit A, B, C.
The front vehicle body cover assembly 25 has a lamp fixing portion P for fixing the 2 nd front cover 45 to one of the lamp units A, B, C. The lamp fixing portions P are classified into a lamp fixing portion group GA that fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 to the lamp unit a, a lamp fixing portion group GB that fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 to the lamp unit B, and a lamp fixing portion group GC that fixes the 2 nd front cover 45 to the lamp unit C.
