  On the other hand, the controller 58 and the battery 72 are juxtaposed adjacent to the fuel tank 9 on the side of the fuel tank 9A provided behind the storage box 7A. The side of the fuel tank 9A behind the storage box 7A is separated from the unit swing type engine 10, and the periphery thereof is surrounded by the rear frame cover 30, so if the controller 58 is arranged in this place, the unit swing is made to the controller 58. The heat generated by the mold engine 10 is difficult to be transmitted, and it is suitable for installation of the controller 58 because it is highly waterproof and dustproof. Even if the unit swing type engine 10 includes a water-cooled engine main body, since it is a place away from the radiators 42a and 42b, the influence of the exhaust heat of the radiator on the controller 58 is small.

  FIG. 5 is an enlarged left side view of the fuel tank 9A, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged plan view of the fuel tank 9A. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example, a left side surface of the fuel tank 9 </ b> A is provided with a step portion 9 a to form an installation space for the controller 58 and the battery 72. In addition, on the installation space, a fixing protrusion 75 is provided which protrudes according to the bottom shape of the controller 58 and the battery 72, and the controller 58 and the battery 72 are positioned and fixed.

  By arranging the controller 58 and the battery 72 in parallel, the wiring 76 between the two 58 and 72 can be shortened. A control cable 77 extends from the controller 58 toward the injector 50. It should be noted that heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiators 42a and 42b is difficult to be transmitted, and other places that satisfy the conditions of the controller 58 placement, which is highly waterproof and dustproof, are, for example, between the rear leg shield 28 and the lower leg shield 29. An example of the controller 78 disposed in the lower floor storage chamber 32 is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 2 and 3.

  By the way, the storage box 7A disposed above the unit swing type engine 10 is required to have a large storage capacity. On the other hand, an intake device 47 is arranged between the unit swing type engine 10 and the storage box 7A, and these swing up and down, so that the bottom of the storage box 7A is in a state where the rear cushion unit 15 is most compressed. The unit swing type engine 10 and the intake device 47 are formed in a shape that does not contact either.

  Specifically, a line connecting two points of the highest position of the upper profile 79 of the unit swing type engine 10 and the intake device 47 in a state where the rear cushion unit 15 is most compressed, in this embodiment, the cylinder head 41. The bottom surface of the storage box 7A is slanted forward and downward so as to be substantially parallel to the line XX connecting the upper part and the upper part of the throttle body 49 or the line XX'-X 'connecting the upper part of the cylinder head 41 and the upper part of the air cleaner 48. It is formed.

FIG. 7 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1B. FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1B shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same structural member as 1 A of scooter type vehicles shown to 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the scooter type vehicle 1B is different from the scooter type vehicle 1A shown in the first embodiment in the shape of its storage box 7A. The scooter type vehicle shown in the second embodiment is shown in FIG. The storage box 7B of 1B is provided with a helmet take-out space 80 at the rear part and the rear lower part, and when the user takes out the helmet 6, the user can easily take out the helmet 6 by inserting a hand 81 into the helmet take-out space 80. . The shape of the storage box 7B can also be applied to a vehicle using a conventional carburetor (not shown).

  Further, in the first embodiment, as another place that satisfies the conditions of the arrangement of the controller 58 which is difficult to transmit heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiators 42a and 42b and is highly waterproof and dustproof, for example, the rear leg shield 28 and the lower Although the lower floor storage chamber 32 between the leg shield 29 is shown, an example of the controller 82 arranged in the space behind the helmet 6 in the storage box 7B in this second embodiment as a further possible place. Is shown by a two-dot chain line.

  9 and 10 show a third example of the first embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1C to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 9 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1C. FIG. 10 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1C shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same structural member as 1 A of scooter type vehicles shown to 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the scooter type vehicle 1C is different from the scooter type vehicle 1A shown in the first embodiment in the location of the air cleaner 48A, and the scooter type vehicle 1C shown in the third embodiment. The air cleaner 48 </ b> C is disposed on the upper portion of the muffler 46. Therefore, the arrangement of the throttle body 49 is also on the opposite side (right side) to that shown in the first embodiment.

  11 and 12 show a first example of the second embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1D to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 11 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1D. FIG. 12 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1D shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same structural member as 1 A of scooter type vehicles shown to the 1st Example of 1st embodiment, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the scooter type vehicle 1D has basically the same configuration as the scooter type vehicle 1A shown in the first example of the first embodiment, but differs in the following points.

  First, a part of the bottom surface of the storage box 7D is extended in a space formed between the engine suspension boss 11a on the upper surface of the unit swing type engine 10 and the throttle body 49 disposed in front of the engine suspension boss 11D. A portion 83 is formed. By using the deepest portion 83, a long article can be stored. The highest portion of the injector 50 attached to the throttle body 49 is disposed above the deepest portion 83. The fuel hose 57 extending from the fuel pump 51 to the injector 50 and the control cable 77 extending from the controller 58 to the injector 50 are fixed near the deepest portion 83 of the storage box 7D by, for example, a clamp 74.

  An air cleaner 48 </ b> D is disposed in a space formed in front of the conduction case 14 on the left side surface of the cylinder assembly 39. A suction pipe 54 extends from the air cleaner 48D in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the vehicle in plan view, and a throttle body 49 and an intake pipe 56 are connected substantially linearly to the downstream side.

  Thus, by arranging the air cleaner 48D, the suction pipe 54, the throttle body 49, and the intake pipe 56 substantially linearly in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the vehicle, the air resistance is reduced and the intake efficiency is improved. It leads to up.

  The throttle body 49 has a throttle cable 53 connected to the front side of the vehicle and a fuel hose 57 and a control cable 77 connected to the rear side. By connecting hoses and cables in this way, excessive bending is eliminated, durability is improved, and operability of the throttle cable 53 is also improved.

  In the first example of the second embodiment described above, an example in which the present invention is applied to a four-cycle engine is shown. However, when the engine body 13 is a two-cycle engine, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The intake pipe 84 extends in the direction of the crankcase 37 and is connected. Further, the suspension position of the unit swing type engine 10 only needs to be on the upper side. Further, the shape of the storage box 7D capable of storing a long object can be applied to a vehicle using a conventional carburetor (not shown).

  13 and 14 show a second example of the second embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1E to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 13 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1E. FIG. 14 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1E shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component as scooter type vehicle 1D shown in the 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the scooter type vehicle 1E is different from the scooter type vehicle 1D shown in the first embodiment in the arrangement shape of the intake device 47, and the fuel injection direction axis Y− of the injector 50 is shown. The suction pipe 54 is greatly bent so that Y intersects the central axis ZZ of the cylinder assembly 39 at an acute angle (within approximately 90 °) on the front side of the vehicle, and the intake pipe 56 also extends from the front side of the cylinder head 41 to the intake port 55. Bend towards When the engine body 13 is a two-cycle engine, the intake pipe 84 extends to the crankcase 37 and is bent as shown by a two-dot chain line.

  By arranging the injector 50 such that its fuel injection direction axis YY intersects the central axis ZZ of the cylinder assembly 39 at an acute angle on the front side of the vehicle, the fuel injected from the injector 50 is curved in the intake port 55. Is directed in a direction in which the flow rate of the mixed gas is large and is injected linearly by the combustion chamber. As a result, an intake downdraft effect is also obtained, and intake efficiency, charging efficiency, and combustion efficiency are improved, leading to an increase in output.

  The air cleaner 85 may be disposed above the conduction case 14 as indicated by a two-dot chain line. Further, when the air cleaner 85 is disposed above the conduction case 14, the suspension position of the unit swing type engine 10 may be either up or down.

  15 and 16 show a third example of the second embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1F to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 15 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1F. FIG. 16 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1F shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component as scooter type vehicle 1D shown in the 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the scooter type vehicle 1F is different from the scooter type vehicle 1D shown in the first embodiment in that the air cleaner 48D has a shortage of capacity in consideration of the capacity of the air cleaner 48D. The second air cleaner 86F is provided in the independent space where the lower floor storage chamber 32 is originally provided. The air cleaner 48F (first air cleaner) and the second air cleaner 86F provided from the beginning are connected by a connecting pipe 87. The first air cleaner 48F swings up and down integrally with the unit swing type engine 10, and Since the two air cleaner 86F is fixed to the vehicle body side, the connecting pipe 87 is formed of a flexible material or a bellows structure. By providing the second air cleaner 86F, the capacity of the entire air cleaner 48F can be easily adjusted, and if the capacity increases, the intake noise decreases and the noise decreases.

  Further, as an example of the arrangement of the radiator when the engine main body 13 is a water-cooled type, an example in which the radiator 42c is arranged in front of the storage box 7 below the operation seat 8 is shown. Further, by arranging the radiator 42c at this position, when the exhaust air from the fan 88 of the radiator 42c passes over the throttle body 49 using the bottom surface of the storage box 7F as a guide, the front wheel 17 or the rear wheel 16 jumps up. As a result, sand, mud, dust, and the like flying around the throttle body 49 are blown off, so that these foreign substances can be prevented from adhering to the throttle body 49 and the injector 50, and durability and reliability are improved.

  On the other hand, as another place that satisfies the conditions of the arrangement of the controller 58 that is difficult to transmit heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiators 42b and 42c and has high waterproof and dustproof properties, for example, in the front leg shield 27, FIG. An example of the controller 89 and the battery 90 arranged in the front leg shield 27 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  When the controller 89 and the battery 90 are disposed in the front leg shield 27, it is desirable to dispose the heavy battery 90 on the lower side and fix them to the head pipe 3, for example. If the controller 89 and the battery 90 are installed adjacent to each other, the wiring 76 between the two 89 and 90 can be shortened.

  FIGS. 17 and 18 show a fourth example of the second embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1G to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 17 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1G. FIG. 18 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1G shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same component as scooter type vehicle 1D shown in the 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the scooter type vehicle 1G is different from the scooter type vehicle 1D shown in the first embodiment in that the capacity of the air cleaner 48G (first air cleaner) provided from the beginning is insufficient. In consideration of the case, a second air cleaner 86G is provided above the conduction case 14. Furthermore, both the air cleaners 48G and 86G may be connected by a connecting pipe 87, or both the air cleaners 48G and 86G may be integrally formed. By providing the second air cleaner 86G, the capacity of the entire air cleaner 48G can be easily adjusted, and if the capacity is increased, the intake sound is lowered and the noise is lowered.

  In addition, the bottom of the storage box 7G has a front-lowering shape with a cut, and the front lower portion (jaw portion) or the rear lower portion of the helmet 6 can be fitted into the deepest portion 83 thereof, whereby a helmet take-out space 80 is provided at the rear portion of the storage box 7G. When the user takes out the helmet 6, the user can easily take out the helmet 6 by inserting a hand 81 into the helmet taking-out space 80. The shape of the storage box 7G can also be applied to a vehicle using a conventional carburetor (not shown).

  Needless to say, this embodiment can also be applied to a two-cycle engine or a water-swing engine cooling unit swing engine. In the case of a two-cycle engine, the intake pipe 84 extends in the direction of the crankcase 37 and is connected as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. In the case of the water-cooled type, it is desirable that the radiator is disposed at a position where the traveling wind can easily hit, such as the front of the head pipe 3 (reference numeral 42a) and the front part of the down tube 4 below the head pipe 3 (reference numeral 42b). Further, the suspension position of the unit swing type engine 10 may be either up or down.

  19 and 20 show a fifth example of the second embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1H to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 19 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1H. FIG. 20 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1H shown in FIG. Since this scooter type vehicle 1H basically has the same concept as the scooter type vehicle 1E shown in the second example of the second embodiment, the scooter type vehicle 1E shown in the second example of the second embodiment The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the scooter type vehicle 1H has a fuel injection direction axis YY of the injector 50 at an acute angle (within approximately 90 °) between the central axis ZZ of the cylinder assembly 39 and the front side of the vehicle. Throttle body 49 and intake pipe 56 are arranged so as to intersect.

  In the present embodiment, an air cleaner 48H is disposed in front of the storage box 7H below the operation seat 8, and a suction pipe 54 extends from the lower portion toward the throttle body 49. Here, since the throttle body 49 swings up and down integrally with the unit swing type engine 10 and the air cleaner 48H is fixed to the vehicle body side, the suction pipe 54 is formed of a flexible material or a bellows structure. The The fuel hose 57 is fixed to the rear frame 5 by a clamp 74, for example.

  Further, the controller 58 is disposed in a space between the air cleaner 48H and the storage box 7H as a place where heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiators 42a and 42b is difficult to be transmitted and is highly waterproof and dustproof. Although not shown in detail, a recess may be formed in the wall facing the storage box 7H of the air cleaner 48H, and the controller 58 may be fitted in this recess.

  And the battery 72 is arrange | positioned in the independent space where the lower floor storage chamber 32 was originally provided in the lower part of the step floor 31. If the battery 72 is disposed at this position, the wiring 76 between the controller 58 and the battery 72 can be shortened.

  On the other hand, the total length of the storage box 7H is shortened by arranging the air cleaner 48H in front of the storage box 7H. However, the shapes of the storage box 7H and the rear frame 5 may be changed so that the helmet 6 can be stored substantially vertically. At this time, if the upper end of the front wall of the storage box 7H is set below the front lower part (jaw) of the helmet 6, a helmet takeout space 80 can be provided above the front upper part of the storage box 7H and above the air cleaner 48H. When a person takes out the helmet 6, the user can easily take out the helmet 6 by inserting a hand 81 into the helmet taking-out space 80.

  The shape of the storage box 7H can also be applied to a vehicle using a conventional carburetor (not shown). Further, the suspension position of the unit swing type engine 10 may be either up or down.

  21 and 22 show a first example of the third embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1J to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 21 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1J. FIG. 22 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1J shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same structural member as 1 A of scooter type vehicles shown to the 1st Example of 1st embodiment, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the scooter type vehicle 1J has basically the same configuration as the scooter type vehicle 1A shown in the first example of the first embodiment, but differs in the following points.

  First, the fuel tank 9J is moved from the rear of the storage box 7J to the independent space where the lower floor storage chamber 32 is originally provided, and as described in the description of the configuration of the fuel injection system. The fuel pump 51 is provided inside the fuel tank 9J. Further, an oil supply lid 92 is provided on the step floor 31 directly above the oil supply port 91 of the fuel tank 9J so as to be opened and closed.

  Since the fuel tank 9J is provided at the lower part of the step floor 31, the storage box 7J is extended rearward, and a large capacity can be secured. When the storage box 7J is extended rearward, the upper profile 79 of the air cleaner 48J overlaps the bottom surface of the storage box 7J in a side view with the rear cushion unit 15 being most compressed. When the air cleaner 48J and the bottom surface of the storage box 7J interfere with each other, an upward escape portion 93 may be provided on the bottom surface of the storage box 7J. As a result, even if the stroke amount of the rear cushion unit 15 is sufficiently secured, the capacity of the storage box 7J is not significantly reduced.

  Further, the bottom surface of the storage box 7J is formed in a mountain shape when viewed from the side, and the helmet 6 is stored in front of the apex in a front-lowered state, and the apex is set to the front side of the rear lower part of the helmet 6 so A helmet take-out space 80 can be formed below the lower portion, and when the user takes out the helmet 6, the user can easily take out the helmet 6 by inserting a hand 81 into the helmet take-out space 80. The shape of the storage box 7J can also be applied to a vehicle using a conventional carburetor (not shown).

  Further, as a place where heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiators 42a and 42b is not easily transmitted and is highly waterproof and dustproof, in the present embodiment, at the rear of the storage box 7J, adjacent to the combination lamp 35, the rear storage chamber 94 is formed, and the controller 58 and the battery 72 are stored in the rear storage chamber 94. The rear storage chamber 94 is closed with a maintenance lid 95 that can be freely opened and closed.

  By arranging the controller 58 and the battery 72 adjacent to the combination lamp 35, the respective wirings 76 can be taken out in the same direction, and the wiring arrangement can be simplified. Further, since the controller 58 and the battery 72 are housed in the rear housing chamber 94, both the devices 58 and 72 can be simultaneously maintained by simply opening the maintenance lid 95.

  On the other hand, in the scooter type vehicle 1J, the fuel injection direction axis YY of the injector 50 is cylinder assembly so that the fuel injected from the injector 50 is directed toward the side where the curvature is large and the flow rate of the mixed gas is large in the intake port 55. The throttle body 49 and the intake pipe 56 are arranged so as to intersect the central axis ZZ of the motor 39 substantially at a right angle.

  The suspension position of the unit swing type engine 10 may be either up or down.

  23 and 24 show a second example of the third embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1K to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 23 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1K. 24 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1K shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component same as the scooter type vehicle 1J shown to the 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the air cleaner 48K disposed above the conduction case 14 of the scooter type vehicle 1K has a front portion extending from above the conduction case 14 to above the crankcase 37 so as to be seen in a plan view. It is formed in a substantially L shape. If the capacity of the air cleaner 48K is still insufficient, the extending portion 96 can be extended toward the muffler 46 side. And the capacity | capacitance of the whole air cleaner 48K can be easily adjusted by extending the front part of the air cleaner 48K.

  Further, by extending the front portion of the air cleaner 48K to above the crankcase 37, the suction pipe 54, the throttle body 49 and the intake pipe 56 extending from the air cleaner 48K to the intake port 55 are seen in a plan view along the traveling direction of the vehicle. It can be arranged in a substantially straight line. As a result, an intake downdraft effect is obtained, intake efficiency, charging efficiency, and combustion efficiency are improved, leading to an increase in output.

  25 and 26 show a third example of the third embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1L to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 25 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1L. FIG. 26 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1L shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component same as the scooter type vehicle 1J shown to the 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the scooter type vehicle 1L in this embodiment has a space behind the storage box 7L because the fuel tank 9L is provided at the lower part of the step floor 31, so a part of this space is stored. An air cleaner 48L is disposed on the left side of the box 7L. A suction pipe 54 extends substantially straight from the lower portion of the air cleaner 48L toward the throttle body 49. Here, since the throttle body 49 swings up and down integrally with the unit swing type engine 10 and the air cleaner 48L is fixed to the vehicle body side, the suction pipe 54 is formed of a flexible material or a bellows structure. The

  By arranging the suction pipes 54 in a substantially straight line, the intake resistance is reduced and the output is improved. Further, since the air cleaner 48L is arranged not on the conduction case 14 but behind the storage box 7L, the freedom (in design) of the lower line 30a of the rear frame cover 30 provided so as to surround the left and right of the rear frame 5 is increased. Increase.

  When the unit swing type engine 10 is suspended on the engine suspension bracket 12a provided on the rear frame 5 by a pair of left and right engine suspension bosses 11a arranged side by side on the upper surface, the suction pipe 54 is connected to the left and right engine suspension bosses. It arrange | positions so that it may pass between 11a and the suspension bracket 12a.

  Further, since only a part of the space behind the storage box 7L is used for the arrangement of the air cleaner 48L, the other part, that is, the right side of the air cleaner 48L can be used as the rear extension 97 of the storage box 7L. Can also be stored. The controller 58 is disposed between the air cleaner 48L and the rear extension 97 of the storage box 7L as a place where heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiators 42a and 42b is not easily transmitted and is highly waterproof and dustproof.

  A helmet take-out space 80 is provided between the rear extension 97 and the rear part of the helmet 6, and when the user takes out the helmet 6, the user removes the helmet 6 by inserting a hand 81 into the helmet take-out space 80. make it easier.

  It should be noted that the shape of the storage box 7L of the present embodiment in which the helmet 6 can be easily taken out and a long object can be stored is also applicable to a vehicle using a conventional carburetor (not shown).

  27 and 28 show a first example of the fourth embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1M to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 27 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1M. FIG. 28 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1M shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same structural member as 1 A of scooter type vehicles shown to the 1st Example of 1st embodiment, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the scooter type vehicle 1M has basically the same configuration as the scooter type vehicle 1A shown in the first example of the first embodiment, but differs in the following points.

  That is, since the unit swing type engine 10 is suspended by the engine suspension boss 11b on the lower surface and the engine suspension bracket 12b on the vehicle body side, the bottom surface of the storage box 7M is made substantially parallel (horizontal) to the ground, and the rear cushion. In the state where the unit 15 is most compressed, the bottom surface of the storage box 7M is lowered to a position where the upper profile 79 of the unit swing type engine 10 and the intake device 47 does not interfere with the bottom surface of the storage box 7M. As a result, the dead space below the storage box 7M is eliminated, and the seat surface of the operation seat 8 can be lowered.

  Accordingly, a suction pipe 54 extending from the throttle body 49 to the air cleaner 48M in a plan view and obliquely rearward of the vehicle can also be arranged substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the storage box 7M and linearly, and intake (ventilation) resistance Will lead to increased output. The fuel pump 51 is attached to the rear wall of the storage box 7M.

  Further, the controller 58 and the battery 72 are installed in an independent space where the lower floor storage chamber 32 is originally provided at the bottom of the step floor 31 which is difficult to transmit heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiators 42a and 42b, and is highly waterproof and dustproof. Are placed side by side. Since the controller 58 and the battery 72 are arranged in parallel, the wiring 76 between the two 58 and 72 can be shortened.

  This embodiment can also be applied to a two-cycle engine or a water-cooled engine body. When the engine body 13 is a two-cycle engine, the throttle body 49 and the intake pipe 84 are oriented in the direction of the crankcase 37 as shown in FIG. To be connected. Further, when the engine body 13 is water-cooled, as shown in FIG. 27, the radiator is used for traveling wind such as the front of the head pipe 3 (reference numeral 42a) and the front part of the down tube 4 below the head pipe 3 (reference numeral 42b). It is desirable to arrange at a position where it can be easily hit. Further, the controller 82 may be disposed below the operation seat 8 and in front of the storage box 7M.

  29 and 30 show a second example of the fourth embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1N to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 29 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1N. FIG. 30 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1N shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component same as the scooter type vehicle 1M shown in the 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, the scooter type vehicle 1N is also configured such that the unit swing type engine 10 is suspended by the engine suspension boss 11b on the lower surface and the engine suspension bracket 12b on the vehicle body side. The air cleaner 48N is provided in the independent space where the lower storage chamber 32 was originally provided, and the suction pipe 54 extending toward the rear throttle body 49 is formed of a flexible material or a bellows structure. It is. An intake pipe 38 extends upward along the down tube 4 from the front portion of the air cleaner 48N.

  The scooter type vehicle 1N has a throttle body 49 and an injector 50 so that the fuel injection direction axis YY of the injector 50 intersects the central axis ZZ of the cylinder assembly 39 at an acute angle (within approximately 90 °) on the front side of the vehicle. An intake pipe 56 is arranged. As a result, the fuel injected from the injector 50 is directed in a direction in which the curvature is large and the flow rate of the mixed gas is large in the intake port 55, and is injected linearly by the combustion chamber. As a result, an intake downdraft effect is also obtained, and intake efficiency, charging efficiency, and combustion efficiency are improved, leading to an increase in output.

  Further, the layout of the intake device 47 described above eliminates large protrusions other than the intake pipe 56 on the upper surface of the unit swing type engine 10 and allows the storage box 7N to be deep, so that the degree of freedom in storing the helmet 6 is increased. At the same time, the bottom surface of the storage box 7N is lowered to a position where the upper profile 79 of the unit swing type engine 10 and the rear wheel 16 does not interfere with the bottom surface of the storage box 7N when the rear cushion unit 15 is most compressed. The surface can also be lowered.

  The fuel hose 57 is fixed to the bottom surface of the storage box 7N with, for example, a clamp 74. Further, the controller 58 and the battery 72 are disposed in the front leg shield 27 which is a place where heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiator 42b is not easily transmitted and is highly waterproof and dustproof.

  31 and 32 show a third example of the fourth embodiment of the scooter type vehicle 1P to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 31 is a left side view showing the internal structure of the scooter type vehicle 1P. FIG. 32 is a schematic plan view of the scooter type vehicle 1P shown in FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component same as the scooter type vehicle 1M shown in the 1st Example, and description is also abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  As shown in FIG. 31 and FIG. 32, the scooter type vehicle 1P shown in this embodiment is different from what has been described so far, and is assumed to be a medium type vehicle (for example, 100 to 125 cc class) capable of riding two people. .

  This scooter type vehicle 1P is also configured such that the unit swing type engine 10 is suspended by the engine suspension boss 11b on the lower surface thereof and the engine suspension bracket 12b on the vehicle body side, and an inherently lower floor storage chamber 32 is provided below the step floor 31. A fuel tank 9P having a fuel pump 51 is disposed in the independent space. Further, the controller 58 and the battery 72 are also disposed in the front leg shield 27 which is a place where heat from the unit swing type engine 10 and the radiator 42b is not easily transmitted and is highly waterproof and dustproof. From such a layout, it is possible to provide a storage box 7P capable of storing, for example, two full-face helmets 99a and 99b in the rear frame cover 30 on the rear frame 5 in a full manner.

  Further, the helmet 99a disposed on the front side faces the front and the bottom surface thereof is disposed substantially parallel (horizontal) to the ground, and the helmet 99b disposed on the rear side faces rearward above the front helmet 99a. In addition, the shape of the bottom surface of the storage box 7 is formed in a stepped shape in front and back in a side view so that the storage box 7 is disposed upside down in an inverted state.

  As is well known, the flat shape of the helmet is a tapered shape where the width of the front side (jaw) is narrower than the rear side. Therefore, the storage box 7P can be obtained by arranging the front helmet 99a forward and the rear helmet 99b rearward. Can be formed in a substantially oval shape in plan view, and the front-rear width of the operation seat 8 does not widen. Further, the rear portion of the rear frame cover 30 can also be narrowed, and an overall slim streamlined planar shape can be obtained.

  Furthermore, by arranging the helmet 99b arranged on the back side upside down, it becomes possible to arrange the rear parts of the helmets 99a and 99b overlapped with each other, thereby shortening the overall length of the storage box 7P. Can be

  Further, by arranging the helmet 99b arranged on the rear side above the front helmet 99a and at the front lower side, the upper part of the unit swing type engine 10 and the rear wheel 16 even when the rear cushion unit 15 is most compressed. The profile 79 does not interfere with the rear bottom surface of the storage box 7P. Further, a sufficient stroke amount of the rear cushion unit 15 can be secured.

  Further, since the bottom surface of the storage box 7P below the helmet 99a disposed on the front side can be formed substantially parallel (horizontally) to the ground, the seat surface of the front operation seat 8 can be lowered. A fuel hose 57 is fixed by, for example, a clamp 74 to the bottom surface of the storage box 7P below the front helmet 99a.

  The embodiment described above shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a scooter type vehicle 1P having an injector 50 as a fuel injection means, but a conventional carburetor (not shown) is used for the shape of the storage box 7P. It can also be applied to used vehicles. Moreover, when using a carburetor, you may form the escape part 100 dented upwards in the storage box 7P bottom face under the front helmet 99a.
