JP 2002-67741 A

  In the saddle riding type vehicle, there are various restrictions on the position of the sensor. Examples of restrictions on the position of the sensor include that the appearance of the sensor is not visible from the outside, that the sensor can be disposed close to the ECU, and wiring from the sensor is easy. A space for arranging the sensor can be secured around the transmission in the casing of the power unit, and the sensor can naturally be made invisible from the appearance, and wiring from the sensor to the ECU is not so problematic. For this reason, for example, the vehicle speed sensor is often disposed in the casing of the power unit so that the rotational speed of the gear disposed on the output shaft (drive shaft) of the transmission can be read.

  By the way, in a saddle-ride type vehicle, a power unit in which an engine, a clutch, a transmission, and the like are integrally configured may be employed due to restrictions on arrangement and space. In the power unit, the output shaft is often arranged near the engine. Further, there are a water cooling method and an air cooling method for cooling the engine. The water cooling method is a method of circulating cooling water cooled by a radiator around the engine, and the air cooling method is a method of cooling the engine by running wind. Air-cooled power units may be used because the water-cooled system requires a radiator, which increases space and weight and costs. In general, the air cooling method is inferior in performance to cool the engine compared to the water cooling method. For this reason, when the air cooling method is adopted, the temperature around the transmission of the power unit is likely to rise during operation as compared to the case where the water cooling method is adopted. Depending on the structure of the power unit and the like, there may occur a situation where the temperature around the transmission rises to such an extent that it is not suitable for disposing a vehicle speed sensor that is an electronic component.

  In addition, the present inventor is developing a saddle-ride type vehicle having a so-called belt drive mechanism in which the power of the power unit is transmitted to the drive wheels via the drive belt, and considers adopting an air cooling method for the power unit. doing. The present invention relates to a straddle-type vehicle having such a belt drive mechanism. Even when an air cooling system is adopted for a power unit, the temperature rise is suppressed and there is no problem in securing a space. The arrangement is proposed.

  In the saddle riding type vehicle according to the present invention, the power of the power unit is transmitted to the drive wheels via the drive belt. The power unit includes a casing and an output shaft having at least one end disposed outside the casing. Further, the drive pulley is assembled to the output shaft outside the casing, the driven pulley is connected to the drive wheel so as to transmit power, and the drive belt is wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley. A sensor is arranged with the detection unit facing the portion of the outer periphery of the drive pulley where the drive belt is not wound. In the saddle riding type vehicle, the rotational speed of the drive pulley is detected by this sensor.

  According to the present invention, the sensor is disposed with the detection unit facing the portion of the outer periphery of the drive pulley assembled to the output shaft outside the casing of the power unit, where the drive belt is not wound. For this reason, the circumference | surroundings where the said sensor is arrange | positioned are outside the casing of a power unit, and it can suppress that the temperature of a sensor rises.

  In the saddle riding type vehicle, the present inventor considered that a vehicle speed sensor is disposed outside the casing of the power unit in consideration of a temperature rise in the casing of the power unit during driving. In this case, for example, it may be arranged around the axle of the drive wheel. However, around the axle of the drive wheels, there are various problems to be solved even if the sensor is simply arranged outside the power unit, such as the appearance of the vehicle speed sensor and the complicated wiring to the ECU. Problems often occur. For this reason, various arrangements are required even if the vehicle speed sensor is arranged outside the casing of the power unit.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, components having substantially the same function are denoted by the same reference numerals for the sake of brevity. In addition, this invention is not limited to the following embodiment. In addition, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “upper”, and “lower” follow the directions as viewed from the driver riding in the normal riding posture. Also, in the figure, as appropriate, the front side of the saddle-ride type vehicle is “Fr”, the rear side is “Rr”, the left side is “L”, the right side is “R”, the upper side is “U”, and the lower side is “D”. Respectively.

The rotational speed (number of rotations) of the drive pulley 10 is detected by the sensor 30. In the saddle riding type vehicle 100, since the sensor 30 is disposed outside the casing 41 of the power unit 40, the temperature of the sensor 30 increases as the temperature of the power unit 40 increases to the extent that the sensor 30 malfunctions. The rise can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the saddle riding type vehicle 100 according to the present embodiment includes a body frame 60, a front wheel 12, a rear wheel 13, a fuel tank 21, a seat 22, and a power unit 40.

  In the saddle riding type vehicle 100, as shown in FIG. 2, the power unit 40 includes a drive source such as the engine 14, and the engine 14, the clutch 18, and the transmission 17 are integrally configured. The power unit 40 includes a casing 41 that covers the engine 14, the clutch 18, and the transmission 17. In this embodiment, the casing 41 of the power unit 40 includes a first casing 41 a that mainly covers the crankshaft 16 of the engine 14, a second casing 41 b (clutch case) that mainly covers the clutch 18, and a third casing that mainly covers the transmission 17. 41c (mission case) is combined.

  The power unit 40 includes a casing 41 and an output shaft 15 having at least one end disposed outside the casing 41. In this embodiment, the power unit 40 is disposed on the vehicle body frame 60 with the crankshaft 16 of the engine 14 and the main shaft 19 and output shaft 15 (drive shaft) of the transmission 17 facing in the vehicle width direction. The left end portion of the output shaft 15 protrudes outside the casing 41 of the power unit 40.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the power unit 40 includes a drive pulley 10 that is assembled to the output shaft 15 outside the casing 41, and a driven pulley 11 that is coupled to the drive wheel 13 so that power can be transmitted. ing. A drive belt 20 is wound around the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11. Further, the sensor 30 is arranged with the detection unit 30A facing the portion 10A around the outer periphery of the drive pulley 10 where the drive belt 20 is not wound. The rotational speed of the drive pulley 10 is detected by the sensor 30.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the saddle riding type vehicle 100 has a so-called belt drive mechanism in which the power of the power unit 40 is transmitted to the drive wheels (rear wheels 13) via the drive belt 20. ing. The belt drive mechanism includes a drive pulley 10, a driven pulley 11, and a drive belt 20.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the drive pulley 10 is attached to the left end portion of the output shaft 15 that protrudes outside the casing 41. In this embodiment, the drive pulley 10 is a toothed pulley and is constituted by a so-called spur gear. In the drive pulley 10, teeth that mesh with the drive belt 20 are formed on the outer periphery of a disk-like pulley in parallel to the axial direction. The driven pulley 11 is coupled to the drive wheel 13 (rear wheel) so that power can be transmitted. In this embodiment, the driven pulley 11 is a toothed pulley, is constituted by a spur gear, and is mounted on the left side of the axle of the rear wheel 13. The drive belt 20 is wound around the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11. In this embodiment, the drive belt 20 is constituted by a toothed belt that meshes with the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11. In this embodiment, the drive belt 20 is disposed on the left side of the saddle riding type vehicle 100. With this configuration, the power of the power unit 40 is transmitted from the output shaft 15 to the driving wheel (rear wheel 13) through the driving pulley 10, the driving belt 20, and the driven pulley 11 in this order. In this embodiment, the drive belt 20 is made of resin (for example, NBR resin (acrylonitrile / butadiene rubber), nylon, etc.), and the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11 are made of metal (for example, alloy steel). Created with. For this reason, the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11 are hardly worn even when used for many years.

  Next, in this embodiment, the vehicle speed sensor 30 of the saddle riding type vehicle 100 is disposed with the detection unit 30A facing the portion 10A around the outer periphery of the drive pulley 10 where the drive belt 20 is not wound. .

  Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive pulley 10 is a toothed pulley, and a portion 10A of the outer periphery of the drive pulley 10 where the drive belt 20 is not wound is not engaged with the drive belt 20, Ten teeth are exposed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle speed sensor 30 includes a detection unit 30A and an output unit 30B. The detection unit 30 </ b> A is a part that detects the number of teeth of the drive pulley 10 that passes through the rotation of the drive pulley 10 in a non-contact manner. In this embodiment, the detection unit 30A can detect, as an electrical signal, the number of teeth of the drive pulley 10 that passes along with the rotation of the drive pulley 10, and the output unit 30B outputs the electrical signal. It is.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is disposed below the drive belt 20 </ b> A passing through the upper track spanned over the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11. ing. The vehicle speed sensor 30 overlaps the drive belt 20A when viewed from above. Further, in this embodiment, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is disposed on the inner side in the vehicle width direction than the edge 201 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the drive belt 20A passing through the upper track. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is disposed above a plane w including the rotation shaft c10 of the drive pulley 10 and the rotation shaft c11 of the driven pulley 11 as shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is supported by a bracket 50 attached to the casing 41 of the power unit 40, as shown in FIG. It is installed.

  In this embodiment, the saddle riding type vehicle 100 includes a cover 70 that covers the outer side of the drive pulley 10 in the vehicle width direction, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The cover 70 extends slightly rearward from the drive pulley 10 and covers the outside of the vehicle speed sensor 30 in the vehicle width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the saddle riding type vehicle 100, the drive belt 20 is not wound around the outer periphery of the drive pulley 10 assembled to the output shaft 15 outside the casing 41 of the power unit 40. The sensor 30 is arranged with the detection unit 30A facing the part 10A.

  Even if the air-cooled power unit 40 is employed, the temperature at which the sensor 30 is disposed is much less likely to cause a temperature rise than in the casing 41 of the power unit 40. For this reason, when the vehicle speed sensor 30 is arrange | positioned in the said position, the temperature of the vehicle speed sensor 30 does not rise to such an extent that a malfunction occurs in the vehicle speed sensor 30. Further, the position at which the vehicle speed sensor 30 is disposed is inside the track of the drive belt 20, and existing parts are hardly disposed at such a position. For this reason, even if the vehicle speed sensor 30 is arranged at the position, there is no new inconvenience associated with the parts arrangement space of the saddle riding type vehicle 100. Further, the ECU (not shown) of the saddle riding type vehicle 100 is installed in the vehicle body frame 60 as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the position where the vehicle speed sensor 30 is arranged is relatively close to the power unit 40. The wiring from the vehicle speed sensor 30 to the ECU can be laid along the casing 41 of the power unit 40, for example, and there is no problem with the wiring from the vehicle speed sensor 30 to the ECU.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is disposed below the drive belt 20A passing through the upper track spanned over the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11. It is installed. And when it sees from upper direction, it has overlapped with the said drive belt 20A. The saddle riding type vehicle 100 is often seen obliquely from above, and by arranging the vehicle speed sensor 30 in this way, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is hidden by the drive belt 20A passing through the upper track and is difficult to see in appearance. Become.

  In this embodiment, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is disposed on the inner side in the vehicle width direction than the edge 201 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the drive belt 20A passing through the upper track. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is disposed above a plane w including the rotation shaft c10 of the drive pulley 10 and the rotation shaft c11 of the driven pulley 11 as shown in FIG. Thus, even when the cover 70 is not present, the vehicle speed sensor 30 is hidden by the drive belt 20A passing through the upper track when the saddle riding type vehicle 100 is viewed obliquely from above, and is more visible in appearance. It becomes difficult.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the saddle riding type vehicle 100 includes a cover 70 that covers the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the drive pulley 10. Extends slightly rearward and covers the outside of the vehicle speed sensor 30 in the vehicle width direction. In the saddle riding type vehicle 100 employing the belt drive mechanism, a cover 70 is often provided on the drive pulley 10 in order to protect rotating parts such as the drive belt 20 and the drive pulley 10. By covering the vehicle speed sensor 30 with the cover 70, the vehicle speed sensor 30 can be made invisible more reliably in appearance without increasing the number of parts.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a bracket 50 is attached to the casing 41 of the power unit 40, and the vehicle speed sensor 30 is supported by the bracket 50. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the vehicle speed sensor 30 from being displaced with respect to the drive pulley 10 and to ensure the detection accuracy of the vehicle speed sensor 30 with high accuracy. Although the bracket that supports the vehicle speed sensor 30 is illustrated as being attached to the casing 41 of the power unit 40, the bracket may be attached to the body frame 60 of the saddle riding type vehicle 100. Even in this case, it is possible to prevent displacement of the vehicle speed sensor 30 with respect to the drive pulley 10 and to ensure the detection accuracy of the vehicle speed sensor 30 with high accuracy. In this embodiment, the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11 are metal toothed pulleys, and the drive belt 20 is a resin belt. For this reason, the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11 are hardly worn even when used for many years. The vehicle speed sensor 30 counts the number of teeth of the driving pulley 10 that passes along with the rotation of the driving pulley 10, but the driving pulley 10 is hardly worn even in long-term use. Can be used.

  The straddle-type vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the straddle-type vehicle according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made.

For example, although the sensor 30 is the vehicle speed sensor 30, it detects the rotational speed of the drive pulley 10 and does not necessarily need to be a sensor used as the vehicle speed sensor 30.
Further, the sensor 30 is disposed below the drive belt 20A passing through the upper track extending over the drive pulley 10 and the driven pulley 11, and when viewed from above, the sensor 30 is attached to the drive belt 20A. The form which overlapped completely was illustrated. In the present invention, not limited to this, as shown in FIG. 6, a part of the sensor 30 may protrude from the drive belt 20A passing through the upper track when viewed from above. In the example shown in FIG. 6, when viewed from above, a part of the sensor 30 (the base end in the illustrated example) is wider than the inner edge 202 of the drive belt 20 </ b> A in the vehicle width direction passing through the upper track. It protrudes inside the direction.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a bracket 501 may be provided on the body frame 601 and the sensor 30 may be supported by the bracket 501. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a part of the vehicle body frame 601 is disposed on the rear side of the casing 41 of the power unit 40. A bracket 501 is attached to the part of the body frame 601. Further, the bracket 501 is disposed on the inner side of the orbit of the driving belt 20 so as not to hit the driving belt 20 from the portion of the body frame 601. And the front-end | tip part 501a of the bracket 501 is extended so as to oppose 10 A of the outer periphery of the drive pulley 10 where the drive belt 20 is not wound. The sensor 30 is attached with the detection unit 30 </ b> A facing the tip 501 a of the bracket 501. In this case, since the sensor 30 is supported by the bracket 501 attached to the vehicle body frame 601, the position of the sensor 30 is prevented from being shifted with respect to the drive pulley 10. Thereby, the detection of the sensor 30 (in the above-described embodiment, detection of the rotational speed of the drive pulley 10) can be ensured with high accuracy.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the swing arm 23 having the support portion 23 a supported to be swingable with respect to the vehicle body frame 601 is provided, the bracket 502 may be provided on the swing arm 23. Good. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the driven pulley 11 is attached to the rear end portion of the swing arm 23, and the drive belt 20 swings according to the swing of the swing arm 23.

  In this embodiment, the support portion 23a of the swing arm 23 includes a boss 23a1 attached to the body frame 601 and attached to the swing shaft 23b so as to be swingable. Then, it is mounted on the swing shaft 23b and is stopped by a stop member 23c so as not to come off from the swing shaft 23b. The position of the support portion 23a is at a position indicated by a cross in FIG. 1, and the swing arm 23 swings with this position as a swing fulcrum. In this embodiment, the support part 23a is disposed on the rear side of the casing 41 of the power unit 40 as shown in FIG.

  The bracket 502 to which the sensor 30 is attached may be attached to the swing arm 23 as shown in FIG. In this case, the bracket 502 may be disposed inside the drive belt 20 that swings by swinging of the swing arm 23 (inside the orbit of the drive belt 20). As a result, the bracket 502 can be prevented from hitting the drive belt 20 that swings due to the swing of the swing arm 23.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the bracket 502 may be disposed in the vicinity of the support portion 23 a that supports the swing of the swing arm 23. In this case, the bracket 502 swings due to the swing of the swing arm 23. However, the swing of the bracket 502 can be suppressed to be small, and the bracket 502 can be easily prevented from hitting the drive belt 20. That is, here, the “near part” is a range near the support part 23 a that supports the swing of the swing arm 23, and the bracket 502 is a bracket that can prevent the bracket 502 from hitting the drive belt 20. This is a region where the swinging of 502 can be suppressed to be small.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the front end portion 502 a of the bracket 502 extends so as to face a portion 10 </ b> A around which the drive belt 20 is not wound on the outer periphery of the drive pulley 10. The sensor 30 is attached with the detection unit 30 </ b> A facing the tip end 502 a of the bracket 502. Even in this case, the detection unit 30A of the sensor 30 can be disposed facing the drive pulley 10, and the detection accuracy of the sensor 30 can be ensured with high accuracy. The bracket 502 is attached in the vicinity of the support portion 23 a that supports the swing of the swing arm 23 so that the swing of the swing arm 23 does not hit the drive belt 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, the base end portion 502 b of the bracket 502 is attached to a portion close to the support portion 23 a that supports the swing of the swing arm 23. By attaching the base end portion 502b of the bracket 502 to a portion of the swing arm 23 that is close to the swing fulcrum 23a, the swing of the bracket 502 can be suppressed small. This prevents the bracket 502 from hitting the drive belt 20 due to the swing of the swing arm 23. Although not shown, the bracket 502 may be disposed on the swing fulcrum 23a of the swing arm 23. In this case, the swing of the bracket 502 can be more reliably suppressed, the positional deviation of the sensor 30 with respect to the drive pulley 10 can be prevented, and the detection accuracy of the sensor 30 can be ensured with high accuracy.

  In the above-described embodiment, a toothed pulley is illustrated as the driving pulley and the driven pulley, and a toothed belt is illustrated as the driving belt. However, the driving pulley, the driven pulley, and the driving belt are not limited to toothed members. . The driving pulley, the driven pulley, and the driving belt may be configured to appropriately transmit power, and may be members without teeth. In this case, the sensor 30 only needs to detect the rotational speed (the number of rotations) of the drive pulley 10 in a non-contact manner. For example, a non-detection unit is attached to the drive pulley 10 and the non-detection unit is associated with the rotation of the drive pulley 10. It may be configured to count the passage of. Specifically, a magnet as a non-detection unit may be attached to the drive pulley 10 and the sensor 30 may be configured to electrically count the passage of the magnet as the drive pulley 10 rotates. Therefore, the drive belt may be a V-belt, and various pulleys corresponding to the belt can be adopted as the drive pulley and the driven pulley.

  Further, the present invention can be applied to various straddle-type vehicles in which the power of the power unit is transmitted to the drive wheels via the drive belt. Here, the “saddle-riding type vehicle” includes various motorcycles such as a scooter type motorcycle and a motorbike. The “saddle-type vehicle” is not limited to a two-wheeled vehicle, and may be three or more wheels, for example, at least one of a front wheel and a rear wheel may be two or more wheels. In addition to the motorcycle, a four-wheel buggy (ATV: All Terrain Vehicle), a snowmobile, and the like are also included in the saddle-type vehicle referred to herein.
