Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a brake input device operated by a driver in a motorcycle or the like when braking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some motorcycles of the so-called American type have a plate-like step called a step plate as a step for a driver to put his / her foot on. In such a motorcycle, the brake pedal, which is arranged near the step plate, is arranged relatively far away from the vehicle body at an outer position in the left-right direction of the vehicle body because of the operability of the foot placed on the step. It has become.

[0003]

By the way, when the brake pedal is arranged at the outer side position of the vehicle body away from the vehicle body as described above, the operating portion into which the pedal force of the driver is introduced via the brake pedal ( For example, arranging the master cylinder at the outside position of the vehicle body as well as the brake pedal is not preferable in terms of design. For this reason, the operating portion is arranged close to the vehicle body side, but for that purpose, it is necessary to lengthen the brake pedal in the left-right direction.
When the brake pedal is extended in the left-right direction in this way, when a pedaling force is introduced to the brake pedal, a large moment is generated at the root portion and the supporting portion thereof, so it is necessary to increase the strength and increase the weight. Will be invited.

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the brake pedal is arranged on the outer side of the vehicle body and the operating portion is arranged on the inner side of the vehicle body with a distance from the brake pedal, the moment generated at the root portion and the supporting portion of the brake pedal is reduced. However, it is an object of the present invention to provide a brake input device that can suppress an increase in weight.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a brake input device according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises a step member (for example, a step plate 531 in the embodiment) on which a driver puts his foot. A brake pedal (for example, the brake pedal 5 in the embodiment, which is provided in the vicinity of the step member and rotates when the pedaling force is introduced.
25) and an actuating part that is actuated by the rotation of the brake pedal (for example, the master cylinder 5 in the embodiment).
29), and a support shaft (for example, the brake pivot shaft 524 in the embodiment) that rotates integrally with the brake pedal when the brake pedal is connected to one end side of the support shaft, Support members that support both end sides (for example, the integrated stay 5 in the embodiment
19) and an actuating member that actuates the actuating portion by rotating the brake pedal and the support shaft by being connected to the other end side of the support shaft while being separated from the brake pedal (for example, in the embodiment. Brake arm 526)
It is characterized by having and.

As a result, when a pedaling force is introduced to the brake pedal and the brake pedal is rotated, the support shaft connected to one end of the brake pedal is rotated, and the other end of the support shaft is connected to the brake pedal while being separated therefrom. The actuating portion is actuated by the member. In this way, since the support shaft is interposed between the brake pedal and the operating portion and both ends of the support shaft are supported by the supporting members, the brake pedal is arranged outside the vehicle body and the operating portion is separated from the brake pedal. Even if they are spaced apart and arranged inside the vehicle body, the pedal effort introduced into the brake pedal will be changed to a rotational force at a position where the offset from the pedal effort introduction position is short, and this will occur in the root portion and the support portion of the brake pedal. The moment can be reduced.

A brake input device according to a second aspect of the present invention is the brake input device according to the first aspect, wherein the actuating portion is a master cylinder, and the master cylinder is a vehicle body frame (for example, the vehicle body frame 2 in the embodiment). It is characterized in that it is arranged inside the outer end portion in the left-right direction.

As described above, since the master cylinder, which is the operating portion, is arranged inside the outer end portion of the vehicle body frame in the left-right direction, the master cylinder can be protected by the vehicle body frame.

Here, the engine cooling water pipe 203,
Engine cooling water communication pipe 204, engine cooling water pipe 20
Reference numerals 5, 207, 208, and 209 constitute a radiator pipe that is a circulation path that connects the engine 9 and the radiator 10. Further, the inner diameters of the engine cooling water pipes 208 and 209 of the radiator pipes are set larger than the inner diameter of the bypass pipe 214. The thermostat valve 206 is opened and closed according to the temperature of the engine cooling water flowing inside. For example, when the thermostat valve 206 is "closed", the engine cooling water pipes 205 and 207 are connected to the engine cooling water pipe 2.
08, but not only the bypass pipe 214,
When "open", the engine cooling water pipes 205 and 207 are connected to the engine cooling water pipe 208 and the bypass piping pipe 214.
It communicates with both parties.

Then, the cooling water pump 202 is started along with the start of the engine 9, but when the temperature of the engine cooling water does not reach the predetermined temperature, the thermostat valve 206 is used.
Is still closed, and the engine cooling water is cooled again from the cooling water pump 202 through the engine cooling water pipe 203, the left and right cylinder parts 36, the engine cooling water pipes 205 and 207, the valve case of the thermostat valve 206, and the bypass pipe 214. Circulate the path back to the water pump 202. At this time, when the engine cooling water that has been appropriately heated after passing through the right cylinder portion 36 passes through the engine cooling water communication pipe 204, a part of it is branched and vaporized through the carburetor heating pipe 211. The vaporizer 212 is heated by being guided to the vaporizer 212. The engine cooling water after heating is the carburetor heating pipe 2
It returns to the cooling water pump 202 again via 13 and the bypass piping 214.

After that, the temperature of the engine cooling water rises,
When the temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature, the thermostat valve 206 opens. Then, a route is opened from the engine cooling water pipes 205 and 207 to the radiator 10 through the engine cooling water pipe 208, and then returns to the cooling water pump 202 via the engine cooling water pipe 209. Engine cooling water is also supplied to this route. It will circulate. That is, engine cooling using the radiator 10 starts.

At this time, due to the pipe resistance, the flow rate of the engine cooling water flowing through the bypass pipe 214 decreases, and the flow rate of the engine cooling water flowing through the passage (radiator piping system) passing through the radiator 10 side increases. Therefore, the flow rate of the engine cooling water flowing through the carburetor 212 is inevitably reduced, and the carburetor 212 is not heated more than necessary.
