Description

According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the harness is accommodated in the harness routing groove below the battery, the space occupied by the battery and the harness is narrowed, and the other electrical components are stored in the box-shaped electrical component. Since it is centrally arranged inside the unit, wiring of other electrical components can be facilitated, and the space efficiency in the article storage box can be further enhanced. In addition, other electrical components can be protected together with the battery, the harness, and the like by a lid member that covers the upper portion of the battery storage unit.

The vehicle body frame F, the engine E, the article storage box 27, and the fuel tank 29 are covered with a synthetic resin vehicle body cover 30.
The vehicle body cover 30 includes a front cover 31 that covers the periphery of the head pipe 11 from the front side, a front inner cover 32 that covers the periphery of the head pipe 11 and the down frame portion 12a from the rear side, a lower portion of the down frame portion 12a, and a lower frame portion 12b. An under cover 34 that covers the periphery from below and from the left and right sides, a step floor 37 that covers the periphery of the lower frame 12b from above across the upper edge of the under cover 34, and a rear end portion of the step floor 37 A front center cover 38 that covers the lower side of the front end portion of the seat 28 from the front side, and the left and right rear frame pipes 14, the article storage box 27, and the fuel. Left and right rear side covers 3 that cover the tank 29 from the side When provided to span between the rear upper edge portions of the left and right rear side covers 36 and a rear center cover 39 for covering the rear lower side of the sheet 28 from the obliquely upward and rearward.

Moreover, although the area | region located below the battery 50 of the harness routing groove 61 is made into the substantially U-shaped basic | foundation cross-sectional shape opened upwards, as shown in FIG.4, FIG.5, FIG.7, Locking protrusions 63 are provided on both upper edges of the tapered portion 61a at two locations in the region that are spaced apart in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 7, each of the locking projections 63 protrudes by a predetermined amount so as to protrude toward the inner side (center direction) of the taper portion 61a, and its tip end portion is curved in an arcuate shape. Is flush with the upper surface of the bottom wall 43a. In the figure, reference numeral 64 denotes a hole that can be punched at the time of molding at a position directly below the locking projection 63 at the bottom of the harness routing groove 61.

Further, a drain hole 65 penetrating to the vehicle body lower side is formed at the bottom of the vehicle width direction outer side position (position where the taper portion 61a is formed) than the position where the battery 50 is placed on both sides of the harness routing groove 61. The water that has entered the battery housing 43 is discharged from the drain hole 65 to the outside.

Further, during maintenance of the battery 50 and the harnesses 59A and 59B, the cover member 54 is similarly removed, and after the harnesses 59A and 59B are disconnected from the electrode terminals 57A and 57B, the battery 50 is removed from the battery housing portion 43, and thereafter Then, the harness 59A is removed from the harness routing groove 61.

As described above, in the battery housing structure employed in the motorcycle 1, one harness 59A is housed in the harness wiring groove 61 at the bottom of the article storage box 27, and the battery 50 is an opening of the harness wiring groove 61. Since the seat 28 is lifted to open the upper portion of the article storage box 27, the harnesses 59A and 59B can be easily detached from the upper side. Therefore, by adopting this battery housing structure, the maintainability can be improved.

In this battery housing structure, since one harness 59A is passed through the harness routing groove 61, the harness 59A can be assembled together with the other harness 59B connected to the other electrode terminal 57B. , 59B can be easily handled.

Furthermore, in this battery housing structure, since the locking projection 63 is provided at the upper edge of the harness routing groove 61 so as to protrude toward the inside of the taper portion 61a, the harness is routed when the harness 59A is routed. The protrusion from the groove 61 can be restricted by the locking projection 63. For this reason, when installing the battery 50, it is possible to prevent interference between the bottom surface of the battery 50 and the harness 59A jumping out of the harness routing groove 61.

Further, in the battery storage portion structure of this embodiment, the taper portion is inclined at the outer position of the battery 50 in the harness wiring groove 61 from the electrode terminals 57A and 57B side toward the bottom side of the harness wiring groove 61. Since the 61a is provided, movement and bending of the harness 59A are allowed by the tapered portion 61a, and the wiring of the harness 59A is facilitated, and the degree of freedom in handling the harness 59A is increased. Furthermore, when the harness 59A is attached to and detached from the harness routing groove 61, the taper portion 61a functions so as to guide the harness 59A, so that the attachment and removal work of the harness 59A can be facilitated.
Furthermore, since the taper portion 61 a is provided only at a position that is removed from directly below the battery 50, the harness 59 </ b> A becomes difficult to move on the center side of the harness routing groove 61 after the harness 59 </ b> A is stored in the harness routing groove 61. In this respect, the harness 59A can be easily handled.
