Fig. 6 is the flat ratio and the plotted curve that requires the relation of crooked R that fuel feed pipe of the present invention is shown, and the longitudinal axis is a flat ratio, and transverse axis is for requiring crooked R.
Fig. 7 is the flat ratio and the explanatory drawing that requires crooked R of explanation fuel feed pipe of the present invention.
In Fig. 7, not extend under the state of fuel feed pipe with straight line shape agley, the A-A line cross section of fuel feed pipe is circular, and external diameter is D1, and wall thickness (thickness of slab) is t1.In addition, under the state (minimum bending radius of neutral position is R (requiring crooked R)) of crooked fuel feed pipe, the B-B line cross section of fuel feed pipe is roughly ellipse, and the minor axis of oval profile is D2, and wall thickness (thickness of slab) is t2.
Can learn flat ratio=(minor axis side outer diameter D 2+ thickness of slab t2)/(initial stage outer diameter D 1+ thickness of slab t1) from above.
Turn back to Fig. 6, in plotted curve, the external diameter that fuel feed pipe is shown is 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 7.0mm, and the flat ratio and the relation that requires crooked R of the occasion of 8.0mm.
Require crooked R to be lower than the zone of allowing flat ratio above predetermined value M and flat ratio, require crooked R big even be, so but since the little fuel feed pipe of flat ratio damage also big NG zone by pressure, when external diameter is 7.0mm (being 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 7.0mm) at most, break away from the NG zone, when external diameter is 8.0mm, enter the NG zone.
In the rocking three-wheels vehicle of this form of implementation, establish flat ratio more than or equal to 80%, requiring crooked R is 25R.
Therefore, be the fuel feed pipe of 7mm at most for external diameter, can guarantee needed fuel feed of the rocking three-wheels vehicle of swinging and sidewindering and enough elasticity.
As above Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and as shown in Figure 4, rocking three-wheels vehicle 10 of the present invention has the power unit 17 as swing bodies, this power unit 17 is made of motor 76 and stepless speed variator 77, it is characterized in that, in order to supply fuel to motor 76, at the fuel tank 38 that is disposed at body side petrolift 41 is set, the Fuelinjection nozzle 91 that the fuel feed pipe 92 that constitutes by the resin pipe by elastically deformable will be located at motor 76 sides is connected in this petrolift 41.
By being made of resin fuel feed pipe 92 like this, can guarantee to connect the high resistance to pressure of petrolift 41 and the fuel distribution tube of Fuelinjection nozzle 91, and because its elastically deformable, even therefore power unit 17 relative body side are swung and are sidewindered, as fuel feed pipe 92 deflections of resin pipe, and can realize having the fuel distribution tube of the rocking three-wheels vehicle 10 of petrolift 41 and Fuelinjection nozzle 91.
In addition, the invention is characterized in: fuel feed pipe 92 is made of thermoplastic resin material, and its external diameter forms 7mm at most.
Like this, because fuel supply pipe arrangement 92 is thermoplastic resin material, so, inweaving high pressure with needs and compare with fuel feed pipe with the rubbery high pressure of lamination coating etc., wall thickness is little, and in addition, internal diameter also can be made lessly, and external diameter can be less.Like this, can guarantee rocking three-wheels vehicle 10 needed fuel feeds and enough elasticity.
In addition, the invention is characterized in: the external diameter of fuel feed pipe 92 is 4mm at most, and the interval that is installed on the clip 209,209 as support member (or clip 210,210) of body side in order to support this fuel feed pipe 92 is at least 150mm.
Like this, even for example the angle of roll of rocking three-wheels vehicle 10 is 180 °, also can form good fuel feed pipe 92.
The present invention is applicable to the cart of unit swing.
The fuel supply construction of rocking three-wheels vehicle of the present invention is suitable for rocking three-wheels vehicle.
