Description

The present invention relates to electric vehicles.

BACKGROUND ART Small electric vehicles such as electric wheelchairs have been proposed as means of transportation for people with walking difficulties such as elderly people and physically handicapped people (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 discloses a four-wheel compact electric vehicle having a pair of left and right front wheels and a pair of left and right rear wheels. In the small electric vehicle disclosed in Patent Document 1, a front fender is provided so as to cover the rear upper portion of the front wheel. The front fender acts as a mudguard for the front wheels.

In such small electric vehicles, it is necessary for the driver to ensure the visibility of the lower front portion of the vehicle body. This is because drivability can be improved by checking the orientation of the front wheels, steps on the sidewalk, and road surface conditions. However, since the front fender covers the front wheels, it is assumed that the visibility of the front lower part of the vehicle body is deteriorated. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, the front fender is made of a transparent or translucent material. As a result, the visibility (visibility) of the front and lower part of the vehicle body is secured while securing the function as a mudguard.

JP 2013-106896 A

However, even if the front fender is made of a transparent or translucent material as in Patent Document 1, mud or dust adhering to the inner and outer surfaces of the front fender obstructs the front and lower visibility of the vehicle body. As a result, there is a possibility that the vicinity of the front wheels cannot be visually observed. In other words, there is room for improvement in ensuring the visibility of the lower front portion of the vehicle body.

An electric vehicle according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. FIG. 1 is a left side view of an electric vehicle according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the electric vehicle according to the present embodiment viewed from the driver's seat toward the front and downward. Note that the electric vehicle is not limited to the configuration shown below, and can be modified as appropriate.

First, a schematic configuration of an electric vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the electric vehicle 1 is configured as a senior car that runs on a sidewalk. The driver of the electric vehicle 1 is often an elderly person, and is treated as a pedestrian under the law. Specifically, the electric vehicle 1 includes a vehicle body 2 in which an exterior cover is attached to a vehicle body frame 20 .

The vehicle body frame 20 constitutes a skeleton portion of the entire vehicle and extends in the front-rear direction. A pair of left and right front wheels 3 are arranged on the front side of the vehicle body 2 . A pair of left and right rear wheels 4 are arranged on the rear side of the vehicle body 2 . A handle unit 5 is arranged above the front wheels 3 to enable the vehicle to be steered. Although details will be described later, the front wheels 3 are supported by suspensions 31 via axles 30 (see FIG. 5). The rear wheels 4 are similarly supported by suspensions 41 via axles (not shown).

The exterior covers include a front cover (which may be called a front fender) 21 arranged on the front side of the vehicle body, a rear cover (which may be called a rear fender) 22 arranged on the rear side of the vehicle body, and a cover for the driver's feet. and a floor mat 23 to be put on. The front cover 21 is formed to cover the pair of left and right front wheels 3 from above. Although details will be described later, the front cover 21 functions as a mudguard for the front wheels 3 . The rear cover 22 is formed to cover the pair of left and right rear wheels 4 from above. Like the front cover 21, the rear cover 22 also functions as a mudguard for the rear wheel 4. As shown in FIG. Floor mat 23 is formed to cover a portion of vehicle body frame 20 extending in the front-rear direction. Floor mat 23 is arranged between rear cover 22 and front cover 21 .

The front wheel 3 and the handle unit 5 are connected by a steering shaft (not shown). The steering shaft extends vertically, and the upper end side is slightly slanted rearward. A leg shield 24 surrounds the steering shaft. The leg shield 24 constitutes a part of the exterior cover and is provided so as to rise upward at the front part of the vehicle body. The leg shield 24 has a function as a windshield that protects the undercarriage of the driver seated on the seat 7 (to be described later) from direct wind and the like.

A handle bracket 50 for attaching the handle unit 5 is provided at the upper end of the steering shaft. The handle unit 5 is configured to be rotated by a driver seated on the seat 7 . Specifically, the handle unit 5 includes a handle bar 51 that is gripped by the driver, and a switch box (not shown) in which various operation switches are arranged. For convenience of explanation, the switch box is omitted from the illustration.

The handlebar 51 includes a straight portion 52 extending in the left-right direction, and a pair of grip portions 53 bent from both ends of the straight portion 52 into a U-shape in a plan view. The straight portion 52 is fixed to the handle bracket 50 . Rearview mirrors 54 are attached to both sides of the straight portion 52 . The switch box is attached to the handlebar bracket 50 in the center of the handlebar 51 .

A front basket 6 is provided in front of the leg shield 24 . The front basket 6 is arranged above the front cover 21 . An upper plate 60 is attached to the upper portion of the front basket 6 . The upper plate 60 covers a part (rear half) of the upper opening of the front basket 6 .

A driver's seat 7 is arranged above the rear portion of the vehicle body 2 . The seat 7 has a seat cushion 70 on which the driver sits, a seat back 71 forming the backrest of the driver, and a pair of left and right armrests 72 . The seat back 71 extends upward from the rear end of the seat cushion 70 . The armrests 72 are provided on both sides of the seat back 71 .

A motor for the rear wheel 4 and a battery (both not shown) are arranged below the seat 7 . The motor drives the rear wheels 4 via a differential not shown. The motor is powered by battery power. The motor and battery are covered with a rear cover 22 .

By the way, as described above, in an electric vehicle such as a senior car, a front fender (front cover) is provided so as to cover the upper part of the front wheels. The front fender not only expresses the appearance of the electric vehicle, but also functions as a mudguard to prevent pebbles, rainwater, and the like that are thrown up by the front wheels from splashing up toward the driver. Therefore, the front fender is usually formed so as to cover the outer circumference of the front wheel.

However, if most of the front wheel is covered with the front fender, giving priority to the function as a mudguard, it is assumed that a predetermined range in the vicinity of the front wheel will not be visible to the driver. That is, a predetermined area around the front wheel is blocked by the front fender and becomes a blind spot for the driver. In this case, it becomes difficult for the driver to visually confirm the direction of the front wheels, the step on the sidewalk, and the road surface condition, which may affect drivability.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention focused on the shape of the front fender in an electric vehicle such as a senior car, and came up with the present invention in order to achieve both the function as a mudguard and the visibility around the front wheels. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the front cover 21 covering at least a portion of the upper rear portion of the front wheel 3 has a bulging portion 21a that bulges outward in the vehicle width direction behind the front wheel 3 . Further, the front cover 21 has an outer surface shape such that the width in the vehicle width direction decreases toward the front from the bulging portion 21a in a plan view. Further, the apex of the bulging portion 21a is located behind the front wheel 3 in plan view.

More specifically, the apex of the bulging portion 21a is located outside the center of the width of the front wheel 3 and inside the outer edge of the front wheel 3 in the width direction. Further, in plan view, the outer edge of the front cover 21 in front of the bulging portion 21a is located outside the width center of the front wheel 3 on the rear side of the rotation axis of the front wheel 3, and on the front side of the rotation axis of the front wheel 3. Located inside the width center of 3

According to these configurations, since the front cover 21 is provided with the bulging portion 21a behind the front wheel 3, the pebbles, rainwater, and the like thrown up by the front wheel 3 can be received by the bulging portion 21a. That is, it is possible to secure the function of the front cover 21 as a mudguard by the bulging portion 21a. Further, the width of the front cover 21 in the vehicle width direction becomes smaller toward the front from the bulging portion 21a, so that the front wheel 3 is not completely covered with the front cover 21. - 特許庁Therefore, the driver sitting on the seat can see a predetermined range around the front wheels 3 without blocking the view around the front wheels 3 . Therefore, it becomes easier to visually check the direction of the front wheels 3, the step of the sidewalk, and the road surface condition, and the drivability can be improved. In addition, inspection of the front wheel 3 is facilitated, and replacement timing can be easily grasped. Thus, according to the front cover 21 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to achieve both the function as a mudguard and the visibility around the front wheels. In addition, since the apex of the bulging portion 21a is located behind the front wheel 3 in a plan view, the visibility around the rear of the front wheel 3 as seen from the driver's seat behind the front fender 21 is also improved. Note that the vertex of the bulging portion 21a indicates a portion of the outer edge of the bulging portion 21a that bulges most outward in the vehicle width direction, and is not limited to a point but is a concept that includes a predetermined range.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, electric vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment, particularly front cover 21, will be described in detail. FIG. 3 is a top view of the front half of the electric vehicle according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a left side view of the periphery of the front cover of the electric vehicle according to the present embodiment. FIG. 5 is a front view around the front cover of the electric vehicle according to the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a top view of the front wheels of the electric vehicle according to the present embodiment when turning.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the front cover 21 is substantially U-shaped in plan view and substantially C-shaped in side view so as to cover not only the rear upper portion of the front wheel 3 but also the front portion of the vehicle body. formed. The front cover 21 is formed with a bulging portion 21 a partially bulging outward in the vehicle width direction at a rear end portion located behind the front wheel 3 .

In the plan view shown in FIG. 3, the front side of the bulging portion 21a is slightly recessed inward, and the recessed portion serves as a base end 21f of the bulging portion 21a. The bulging portion 21a has an inclined portion 21b that is inclined outward in the vehicle width direction from the base end 21f toward the rear vertex. Further, the bulging portion 21a has a gently curved shape such that the width in the vehicle width direction becomes smaller toward the rear from the apex.

Further, in a plan view, the front cover 21 has a curved outer edge shape such that the width in the vehicle width direction decreases toward the front from the base end 21f of the bulging portion 21a. Although the details will be described later, in the front cover 21, the front side portion of the rotating shaft of the front wheel 3 is referred to as a front curved portion 21c, and the rear side portion of the rotating shaft is referred to as a rear curved portion 21d. It is assumed that the rear curved portion 21d includes the bulging portion 21a.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the front cover 21 is formed with projecting portions 21 e projecting upward above the pair of left and right front wheels 3 . The projecting portion 21e has a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the side. Further, in the side view shown in FIG. 4, a virtual line L1 is defined as a straight line extending in the vertical direction so as to include the rotation axis of the front wheel 3. As shown in FIG. The front cover 21 has a front curved portion 21c that curves along the outer circumference of the front wheel 3 on the front side of the virtual line L1, and a rear curved portion that curves along the outer circumference of the front wheel 3 on the rear side of the virtual line L1. 21d and . The rear curved portion 21d has a smaller radius of curvature than the front curved portion 21c.

Therefore, the gap between the rear curved portion 21 d and the front wheel 3 is larger than the gap between the front curved portion 21 c and the front wheel 3 . As a result, it becomes easier to access the lower part of the front cover 21 from the rear side of the front wheel on the side of the vehicle, and it becomes easier to replace the front wheel 3 and adjust and inspect peripheral parts of the front wheel 3 such as the suspension 31 .

As shown in FIG. 4, the floor mat 23 arranged between the front cover 21 and the seat 7 (see FIG. 1) extends rearward from the upper half of the front wheels 3 inside the pair of left and right front wheels 3. It is formed so as to cover the vehicle body frame 20 extending toward it. Further, the floor mat 23 is formed with a recessed portion 23a recessed toward the center of the front wheel 3 between the pair of left and right front wheels 3. As shown in FIG. The outer surface of the floor mat 23 bulging forward and downward by the amount of the recess 23a slightly overlaps the outer edge portion of the front wheel 3 in a side view. A space formed by the concave portion 23a behind the front cover 21 is a space for placing the driver's feet F thereon. The recess 23a overlaps the front wheel 3 in the vertical direction. That is, the driver's foot F overlaps the front wheel 3 in the vertical direction. As a result, the place on which the driver's feet are placed can be lowered and brought closer to the ground, making it easier for the driver to get on the electric vehicle 1 .

In this case, since the floor mat 23 is provided at a position lower than the upper end of the front wheel 3, it is easy for the driver to get on and off as described above, but mud or the like tends to splash on the floor mat 23. However, in the present embodiment, by providing the bulging portion 21a corresponding to the location where mud or the like tends to splash, it is possible to sufficiently exhibit the function as a mudguard.

More specifically, as described above, the bulging portion 21a is provided on the rear curved portion 21d (see the hatched portion in FIG. 4). The bulging portion 21a is located below the lowermost end of the front curved portion 21c. Further, the floor mat 23 is provided at a position overlapping the bulging portion 21a. In this way, by providing the swelling portion 21a at the location corresponding to the foot F of the driver (in the vicinity of the foot F), it is possible to further improve the function as a mudguard for the driver.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, an imaginary line L2 is defined as a straight line that includes the rotational axis (center) of the front wheel 3 and is parallel to the running surface, and an imaginary line L2 is defined as a straight line that connects the swollen portion 21a and the rotational axis of the front wheel 3. Define L3. The imaginary line L3 is defined by a straight line that connects the front end position of the region where the bulging portion 21a and the upper surface of the floor mat 23 overlap with the rotation axis of the front wheel 3, for example, in a side view. In this case, within the range of the acute angle θ1 formed by the virtual lines L2 and L3, the width in the vehicle width direction decreases downward (rearward) (see also FIG. 3 or FIG. 6). According to this configuration, in order to secure the function of the front cover 21 as a mudguard, the higher the front cover 21 is, the larger the lateral width is, and the lower the front cover 21 is, the smaller the lateral width is. . As a result, it is possible to prevent the driver from contacting the rear end of the front cover 21 when getting on, and to facilitate getting on and off the electric vehicle 1 .

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the front wheel 3 is rotatably supported by an axle 30. As shown in FIG. Axle 30 is provided for each front wheel 3 . The axle 30 extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the rotation axis of the front wheel 3 . More specifically, the pair of left and right axles 30 are arranged so as to incline upward from the front wheels 3 toward the center in the vehicle width direction. At the center of the vehicle, a pair of left and right axles 30 are pivotably connected to fixed portions 20a extending from the vehicle body frame 20 . In this manner, the pair of left and right axles 30 are arranged in a V shape when viewed from the front.

Further, the axle 30 is supported by a suspension 31 as a suspension device. The suspension 31 supports the axle 30 inside the front wheel 3 in the vehicle width direction. The suspension 31 is provided on each axle 30 with its axial direction (stretching direction) directed vertically. Specifically, one end (lower end) of the suspension 31 is connected to the outside of the center of the axle 30 in the left-right direction. The other end (upper end) of the suspension 31 is connected to the body frame 20 (not shown).

5, an imaginary line L4 is defined as a straight line connecting the connecting portion of the suspension 31 to the axle 30 and the outer edge portion of the front cover 21. As shown in FIG. Here, the outer edge portion of the front cover 21 refers to the outer edge portion of the front cover 21 located at the boundary between the front curved portion 21c and the rear curved portion 21d shown in FIG. 4 (the portion facing the upper portion of the front wheel 3). there is A virtual line L4 is inclined from the outer edge of the front cover 21 toward one end of the suspension 31 . That is, the imaginary line L4 slopes downward from the outside of the vehicle toward the inside of the vehicle. Thus, the imaginary line L4 is arranged so as not to overlap the inner side edge of the front wheel 3 . This configuration facilitates access to the suspension 31 through the gap between the front cover 21 on the side of the vehicle and the front wheel 3 . As a result, maintenance of the suspension 31 and replacement of the front wheel 3 can be easily performed.

As shown in FIG. 6, if the inclination angle of the front wheel 3 (inclination angle of the front wheel 3 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle) when one (left) front wheel 3 is turned inward to the limit is defined as the maximum turning angle θ2. , the inclination angle θ3 of the inclined portion 21b with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is smaller than the maximum turning angle θ2. According to this configuration, the gap formed between the front cover 21 (inclined portion 21b) and the front wheel 3 becomes larger when the front wheel 3 is turned toward the inside of the vehicle. Therefore, the visibility of the suspension 31 is enhanced, and maintenance of the suspension 31 is facilitated. In addition, an access space for tools can be secured, and workability can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 2, the width between the outermost edges of the pair of left and right front wheels 3 is D1, the left-right width of the front cover 21 is D2, the left-right width of the floor mat 23 is D3, and the leg shield 24 is left-right. Assuming that the width is D4, a relationship of D1>D2>D3 (or D4) holds. According to this configuration, the front cover 21 can be accommodated within the width D1 of the pair of left and right front wheels 3, and the function as a mudguard can be ensured without making the front cover 21 excessively large. Further, since the width of the vehicle gradually increases toward the front from the driver's seat (seat 7), even if the leg shield 24 and the front basket 6 approach the driver's side as the steering shaft (not shown) tilts, It is possible to prevent the driver's view of the front wheel 3 from being blocked.

As described above, in the present embodiment, behind the front wheels 3, the front cover 21 is formed with the bulging portion 21a that bulges outward in the vehicle width direction. is curved so that the left and right width of the As a result, the front cover 21 can function as a mudguard and ensure visibility around the front wheels.
