Definitions

  • the present invention relates to arrangement of electrical devices of saddle-ride type vehicles.
  • Some saddle-ride type vehicles such as motorcycles adopt a structure that electric power generated by an AC generator built in a crankcase of an engine is stored in a battery through a regulator for voltage regulation. It is known that the regulator is mounted on an air cleaner in order to shorten the cable between the AC generator and the regulator (see Patent JP-A No.247181/1988).
  • a batteryless power supply circuit which directly uses electric power from the AC generator for various types of electrical devices such as an ignition device without using a battery is also publicly known.
  • the use of a capacitor for stable power supply to various types of electrical devices is also known (see Patent JP-Y No.15833/1995).
  • the AC generator is built in the engine crankcase and the distance to the air cleaner located above and behind the crankcase is slightly long and, because the regulator is located in a higher position of the vehicle, the vehicle's center of gravity is high. Therefore, there has been demand for an arrangement that the regulator is located in a lower position than the air cleaner and its distance to the AC generator is minimized.
  • the present invention has an object to meet this demand.
  • the invention of Claim 1 concerning the arrangement of electrical devices in a saddle-ride type vehicle with an engine having a crankcase extending in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, a cylinder located before the crankcase and extending almost upward, a cylinder head located above the cylinder, and an AC generator built in the crankcase, is characterized in that a regulator for regulating output voltage of the AC generator is located behind the cylinder and on the top surface of the crankcase.
  • the invention of Claim 2 is as described in Claim 1, a capacitor for stabilizing the voltage regulated by the regulator and supplying power to various electrical devices being located near the regulator.
  • the invention of Claim 3 is as described in Claim 1, a mounting stay for holding the regulator being fitted through a heat-insulating member on the top surface of the crankcase.
  • the invention of Claim 4 is as described in Claim 3, a mounting stay for holding the regulator being fitted through a heat-insulating member on the top surface of the crankcase and a capacitor for stabilizing the voltage regulated by the regulator and supplying power to various electrical devices being fitted through a heat-insulating member to the mounting stay.
  • the invention of Claim 5 is as described in Claim 2 or 4, a fuel injection system being fitted to an engine air intake system extending behind the cylinder head and this fuel injection system being electromagnetically driven using power supplied from the capacitor for fuel injection.
  • the invention of Claim 6 is as described in Claim 5, the engine air intake system at least comprising a throttle body connected upstream of an air intake duct of the cylinder head and incorporating a throttle valve, and a connecting tube connected upstream of it, and the regulator being inclined down backward and the capacitor being located above the regulator and behind and below the throttle body.
  • the invention of Claim 7 is as described in Claim 5 or 6, the capacitor being divided into a second capacitor for supplying power to the fuel injection system and a first capacitor for supplying power to various electrical devices other than the fuel injection system and the second capacitor beingg located nearer to the vehicle front than the first capacitor.
  • the regulator since the regulator is held on the top surface of the crankcase behind the cylinder, the cable from the AC generator, often built in the front part of the crankcase, to the regulator is shortened and power loss is reduced.
  • the regulator since the regulator is located on the back of the crankcase, the vehicle's center of gravity is low and mass concentration is achieved.
  • the front of the regulator in the traveling direction is covered by the cylinder and the crankcase and its bottom is covered by the crankcase, so the regulator is effectively protected from scattering stones or the like.
  • the capacitor since the capacitor is located above the regulator inclined backward and behind and below the throttle body which is relatively large in the air intake system, it can be easily mounted even when it is a large-size capacitor with a large capacity. Therefore, even when the batteryless type is adopted, layout for the capacitor is easy. Also, because the regulator is inclined backward, latitude is wide in the arrangement of a connecting tube connected upstream of the throttle body.
  • an exclusive capacitor for the fuel injection system since an exclusive capacitor for the fuel injection system is provided, the fuel injection system is driven more stably and the engine's startability and the vehicle's drivability are improved. Also, since the capacitor is divided into two capacitors, a capacitor for supplying power to the fuel injection system and a capacitor for supplying power to other electrical devices, the size of each capacitor can be decreased. Besides, since one capacitor is on the front side and the other is on the back side, latitude in the layout for the engine air intake system is wide. Moreover, since the exclusive capacitor for the fuel injection system is on the front side, the cable between the fuel injection system and the exclusive capacitor can be shortened.

  • This incomplete pulsating direct current is smoothed by the first and second capacitors 25a and 25b and becomes an almost complete direct current.
  • the first capacitor 25a supplies power to electrical devices other than the fuel injection system 21 while the second capacitor 25b supplies power only to the fuel injection system 21. Therefore, a batteryless power supply circuit is constituted in which the power generated by the AC generator 30 is directly used for power supply without a battery.
  • the regulator 24 Since the regulator 24 is held behind the cylinder 16 and on the top surface of the crankcase 15, the cable 31a from the AC generator 30 (incorporated in the front part of the crankcase 15) to the regulator 24 is shortened and power loss is reduced. In addition, since the regulator 24 lies on the top surface of the crankcase 15, the vehicle's center of gravity is low and mass concentration is achieved. Moreover, the front of the regulator 24 in the traveling direction is covered by the cylinder 16 and the crankcase 15 and its lower part is covered by the crankcase 15, so the regulator is effectively protected from scattering stones.
  • the cables 31b and 31c from the regulator 24 to the first and second capacitors 25a and 25b are shortened and power loss is reduced.
  • first and second capacitors are mounted on the capacitor holder 47 of the electrical device mounting stay 26 held in a heat-insulating manner through the heat-insulating rubber 45, heating of these first and second capacitors 25a and 25b due to thermal conduction from the engine 10 and regulator 24 is prevented.
  • first and second capacitors 25a and 25b are mounted simply by inserting the tongue-shaped inserts 46 into the slits 45a of the heat-insulating rubbers 45, their installation is easy and quick. Also, since the engaging projections 46a and 46b are provided, their engagement with the heat-insulating rubbers 45 permits reliable installation.
  • the fuel injection system 21 is fitted to the throttle body 20 which extends behind the cylinder head 17 and constitutes an engine air intake system and fuel is injected by electromagnetic drive of this fuel injection system 21 using power supplied exclusively from the second capacitor 25b, the cable 34 from the second capacitor 25b to the fuel injection system 21 is shortened, and power loss is reduced. Therefore, the fuel injection system 21 is driven stably and startability of the engine 10 and drivability of the vehicle can be improved.
  • first and second capacitors 25a and 25b are located above the regulator 24 inclined downward toward the rear of the vehicle body and behind and below the throttle body 20 which is relatively large in the air intake system, they can be easily mounted even if they are large-capacity large-size capacitors. Therefore, even when the batteryless type is adopted, layout for the first and second capacitors 25a and 25b is easy. Also, because the regulator 24 is inclined backward, latitude is wide in the arrangement of the connecting tube 23 connected through a space above the regulator 24 to the upstream of the throttle body 20.
  • the second capacitor 25b is provided as an exclusive capacitor for the fuel injection system 21, the fuel injection system 21 is driven more stably and the engine's startability and the vehicle's drivability can be improved. Also, since the capacitor is divided into the second capacitor 25b for the fuel injection system and the first capacitor 25a for other electrical devices, the size of each capacitor can be decreased. Besides, since one capacitor is on the front side and the other is on the back side, latitude in the layout for the engine air intake system is wide. In addition, since the second capacitor 25b for the fuel injection system is on the front side, the cable 34 for connection with the fuel injection system 21 can be shortened as far as possible.
  • the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment but can be modified or applied in various forms within the scope of the invention's principles.
  • the second capacitor 25b exclusively intended for the fuel injection system, can be omitted.
  • the first capacitor 25a now intended for other devices, can be used for power supply to both the fuel injection system 21 and the other electrical devices.
  • the heat-insulating members are not limited to heat-insulating rubbers but other known heat-insulating materials may be used instead.
  • Vehicles to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to motorcycles but it may be applied to other saddle-ride type vehicles such as buggies.
