For this reason, there is room for improvement in terms of enhancing the appearance and texture around the headlight.

本発明は、フロントカウルにおいて、ヘッドライト周りの外観性および質感を高めることを課題とする。   An object of the present invention is to improve the appearance and texture around a headlight in a front cowl.

請求項１に係る発明は、車両の前方を照らすヘッドライトと、このヘッドライトを囲い車両の前部を覆うフロントカウルと、を備える自動二輪車のカウル構造において、フロントカウルは、正面から見たときに、ヘッドライトを囲むインナカウルと、このインナカウルの周囲をさらに囲むアウタカウルと、から構成されていることを特徴とする。   The invention according to claim 1 is a cowl structure of a motorcycle comprising a headlight that illuminates the front of the vehicle and a front cowl that surrounds the headlight and covers a front portion of the vehicle. The front cowl is viewed from the front. And an inner cowl surrounding the headlight and an outer cowl further surrounding the inner cowl.

請求項２に係る発明は、インナカウルには、正面から見たときに、複数の折れ曲がり部からなる段状部が設けられ、これらの段状部は、アウタカウルで覆われる部分に設けられ、インナカウルにアウタカウルを締結する締結部材は、段状部に取り付けられていることを特徴とする。   In the inner cowl, when viewed from the front, the inner cowl is provided with stepped portions including a plurality of bent portions, and these stepped portions are provided in a portion covered with the outer cowl. A fastening member for fastening the outer cowl is attached to the stepped portion.

請求項３に係る発明は、アウタカウルの縁を折り曲げ、先端をインナカウルに略直角に当接するようにしたことを特徴とする。   The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the edge of the outer cowl is bent and the tip is brought into contact with the inner cowl substantially at a right angle.

請求項４に係る発明は、インナカウルの上部にアウタカウルの上部を重ねることにより、後方斜め上へ風を流すことができる導風通路を形成し、この導風通路の出口をメータパネルで覆うとともに、このメータパネルに風を通過させる排風口を設けたことを特徴とする。   The invention according to claim 4 forms an air guide passage that allows air to flow rearward and obliquely upward by overlapping the upper portion of the outer cowl on the upper portion of the inner cowl, and covers the outlet of the air guide passage with a meter panel, The meter panel is provided with an exhaust port for allowing air to pass therethrough.

また、インナカウル８１の下部には長孔９８が設けられ、この長孔９８に沿ってヘッドライト３６の締付孔９９が移動可能に設けられ、この締付孔９９に長孔９８の外方からねじ１０１をねじ込むことで、ヘッドライト３６を好ましい方向に調整し固定するようにした。 An engagement hole 96 is provided in the upper part of the inner cowl 81 constituting the front cowl 35, and an engagement pin 97 formed in the upper part of the headlight 36 is engaged with the engagement hole 96.
Further, a long hole 98 is provided in the lower part of the inner cowl 81, and a fastening hole 99 of the headlight 36 is movably provided along the long hole 98, and the fastening hole 99 is provided outside the long hole 98. By screwing the screw 101, the headlight 36 is adjusted and fixed in a preferred direction.

図１０は図８の１０−１０線断面図であり、フロントカウル３５の左右の部分に形成する導風通路１０２について説明する。
インナカウル８１の上部８１ｔにアウタカウル８２の上部８２ｔを重ねることにより、後方斜め上へ風を流すことができる導風通路１０２を形成し、この導風通路１０２の出口１０２ｄをメータパネル７３で覆うとともに、このメータパネル７３に風を通過させる排風口１０４を設けた。 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 10-10 in FIG. 8, and the air guide passage 102 formed in the left and right portions of the front cowl 35 will be described.
By superposing the upper part 82t of the outer cowl 82 on the upper part 81t of the inner cowl 81, an air guide passage 102 that allows the wind to flow obliquely upward rearward is formed, and the outlet 102d of the air guide passage 102 is covered with a meter panel 73, The meter panel 73 is provided with an exhaust port 104 through which air passes.

フロントカウル３５の前側斜面８４としての前側傾斜面１０５の近傍で、アウタカウル８２とインナカウル８１との間には、走行風を取り入れる導風入口１０６が設けられている。   In the vicinity of the front inclined surface 105 as the front inclined surface 84 of the front cowl 35, an air inlet 106 for taking in the traveling wind is provided between the outer cowl 82 and the inner cowl 81.

アウタカウル８２とインナカウル８１の間に風を導くように構成することで、簡便な構成で導風構造を得ることができる。加えて、インナカウル８１の上部８１ｔでアウタカウル８２の上部８２ｔで重ねることで、導風入口１０６を目立たなくすることができ、車両の外観性が損なわれ難くすることができる。   By configuring the wind between the outer cowl 82 and the inner cowl 81, a wind guide structure can be obtained with a simple configuration. In addition, by overlapping the upper part 81t of the inner cowl 81 with the upper part 82t of the outer cowl 82, the air guide inlet 106 can be made inconspicuous, and the appearance of the vehicle can be hardly impaired.

図７、図８を併せて参照して、インナカウル８１には、複数の折れ曲がり部９４・・・からなる段状部９５が設けられ、インナカウル８１にアウタカウル８２を締結する締結部材７７・・・は、段状部９５に取り付けられている。段状部９５は、複数の折れ曲がり部９４・・・からなるため、フロントカウル３５の剛性を高くすることができる。   7 and 8 together, the inner cowl 81 is provided with a stepped portion 95 composed of a plurality of bent portions 94..., And fastening members 77 for fastening the outer cowl 82 to the inner cowl 81. The stepped portion 95 is attached. Since the stepped portion 95 includes a plurality of bent portions 94..., The rigidity of the front cowl 35 can be increased.

また、段状部９５は、アウタカウル８２で覆われる部分に設けられ、段状部９５にアウタカウル８２を当て締結部材７７・・・で締結するようにしたので、インナカウル８１とアウタカウル８２を外方から見えない部分でフロントカウル３５の剛性を大幅に高めることができる。   Further, since the stepped portion 95 is provided in a portion covered with the outer cowl 82 and the outer cowl 82 is applied to the stepped portion 95 and fastened by the fastening member 77..., The inner cowl 81 and the outer cowl 82 are connected from the outside. The rigidity of the front cowl 35 can be significantly increased in the invisible portion.

以上に述べた自動二輪車のカウル構造の作用を次に述べる。
図４に戻って、フロントカウル３５は、ヘッドライト３６を囲むインナカウル８１と、このインナカウル８１の周囲をさらに囲むアウタカウル８２とから構成されている。つまり、フロントカウル３５は、インナカウル８１の外方に前方からアウタカウル８２を被せたものである。 The operation of the cowl structure of the motorcycle described above will be described next.
Returning to FIG. 4, the front cowl 35 includes an inner cowl 81 that surrounds the headlight 36, and an outer cowl 82 that further surrounds the periphery of the inner cowl 81. That is, the front cowl 35 is obtained by covering the outer cowl 82 from the front outside the inner cowl 81.

例えば、インナカウル８１の一部をアウタカウル８２の外方に露出させ、インナカウル８１とアウタカウル８２とを異なる色に着色すれば、１枚構造のフロントカウル３５では得られない高い外観性と質感とをあわせもつフロントカウル３５が得られる。   For example, if a part of the inner cowl 81 is exposed to the outside of the outer cowl 82 and the inner cowl 81 and the outer cowl 82 are colored in different colors, the high appearance and texture that cannot be obtained with the single front cowl 35 are combined. A front cowl 35 having the same is obtained.

加えて、インナカウル８１にアウタカウル８２を被せる構造とすることで、フロントカウル３５の剛性を高めることができる上、インナカウル８１とアウタカウル８２の隙間により走行風が抜け易くなるので、別途導風口をカウルに設ける必要がなく、カウルの製造コストを安くすることもできる。   In addition, since the outer cowl 82 is covered with the inner cowl 81, the rigidity of the front cowl 35 can be increased and the traveling wind can be easily removed by the gap between the inner cowl 81 and the outer cowl 82. There is no need to provide it, and the cowl manufacturing cost can be reduced.

尚、請求項１では、インナカウルには、正面から見たときに、複数の折れ曲がり部からなる段状部を設け、これら段状部を、アウタカウルで覆われていない部分に設けることは差し支えない。   In the first aspect of the invention, the inner cowl may be provided with stepped portions formed of a plurality of bent portions when viewed from the front, and these stepped portions may be provided in a portion not covered with the outer cowl.

また、アウタカウルの縁を折り曲げ、先端をインナカウルに当接する角度は、略直角に限定されず、任意の角度で差し支えないものとする。
本発明は、実施の形態では自動二輪車に適用したが、側車付き二輪車又は三輪車にも適用可能であり、一般の車両に適用することは差し支えない。 Further, the angle at which the edge of the outer cowl is bent and the tip abuts against the inner cowl is not limited to a substantially right angle, and may be an arbitrary angle.
Although the present invention is applied to a motorcycle in the embodiment, it can also be applied to a two-wheeled vehicle with a side vehicle or a three-wheeled vehicle, and can be applied to a general vehicle.
