Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a waterproof structure for a Zusota-type vehicle lighting device, which is provided with a lighting device on a front fender above a front wheel.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, there has been a demand for higher performance in scooter-type vehicles, and as part of this higher performance, aerodynamics related to air resistance during driving and fashionability are important as small motorcycles such as scooters have become popular. It is becoming more and more popular.

For this reason, scooter type vehicles are provided with a cover called a cowling.

This cover includes, for example, a front 1 head fender that covers the entire surface of the vehicle, a leg shield that covers the front 1 end pipe along with the front 1 fender, an under cowl placed between the front and rear wheels, a side cover that covers the area under the seat, etc. It is made up of several cover parts. Some of these cover members are appropriately selected and attached to the scooter type vehicle depending on its purpose of use.

Furthermore, an inner fender is provided inside the front fender from above to behind the front wheels. This inner fender prevents water and mud thrown up by the front wheels from entering the space formed by the front fender and leg shield.

Incidentally, in scooter-type vehicles, there is often a desire to dispose the lighting device at a relatively low position, for example, above the front wheel on the front fender and close to the front wheel.

For this reason, water, mud, etc. splashed up from the front wheels hit the lamp and enter the interior through the gap between the main body of the lamp and the lamp. Therefore, conventionally, a boot or the like is used to waterproof the space between the main body of the lamp and the cap.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, when waterproofing is performed on the lighting equipment side using boots etc. in this way, the shape between the main body of the lighting equipment and the camp is relatively complicated. Therefore, waterproofing is troublesome.Moreover, since parts such as boots are used, there is a problem that the number of parts is large and the cost is high.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make it possible to waterproof a lighting device easily, and to reduce the number of parts to make the lighting device waterproof at a low cost. An object of the present invention is to provide a waterproof structure for a scooter type vehicle light device that can perform the following steps.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized in that a wall is formed on the inner fender to cover the periphery of the lamp.

(Function) According to the waterproof structure of the scooter-type vehicle light device according to the present invention, the light device is surrounded by the wall formed on the inner fender, so water and mud splashed up by the front wheels are protected. etc., will only hit this wall and will not penetrate into the lamp.Therefore, there is no need to install a waterproof mechanism such as a bulge on the lamp (but it is ensured that the lamp is waterproof). It becomes like this.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a side view of a scooter type vehicle to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied, the second part is a sectional view taken along the line ■■ in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a plan view of essential parts of the inner fender. .

As shown in FIG. 1, the scooter type vehicle 1 includes a frame 2 extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a steering shaft 3 is rotatably supported on a head pipe 2a at the end of gear 1 of the frame 2. ing. A front wheel 5 is connected to the lower end of the steering shaft 3 via a front fork 4.

Further, a rear wheel 7 is connected to the rear end of the frame 2 via a rear suspension 6.

Further, to cover the frame 2, in order from the vehicle body + tilt force, a front fender 8, a leg shield 9, a front under cowl 10. It is composed of a rear under cowl 11 and a side cover 12. The front fender 8, the leg shield 9, and the front under cowl 10 each extend over both left and right sides of the vehicle body and are formed of a single member. Further, the rear under cowl 11 and the side covers 12 are formed from separate left and right members.

Further, a footboard 13 is disposed on the upper surface of the front and rear undercowls 10, 11 between the leg shield 9 and the side cover 12. Further, a tail lamp assembly 14 is disposed at the rear end of the side cover 12, and a seat 15 is disposed at the upper end of the side cover 12.

Furthermore, flashers 16 are disposed on the left and right sides of the front fender 8 at positions above and close to the front wheels 5. On the other hand, an inner fender 17 is disposed between the left and right side walls of the front fender 8 and the under cowl 10 from above to the rear of the front wheel 5. This inner fender 17 prevents water, mud, etc. splashed up by the front wheel 5 from entering the space between the front fender 8 and the leg shield 9.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inner fender 17 is integrally molded by resin molding, and includes a bottom plate 18 located below the lamp 16 and a bottom plate 18 at its upper end. From the 1st to the top] A side wall 19 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body erected, a rear wall 20 formed continuously with this side wall 19, and a front wall 21 erected upward from the bottom plate 18. Each is provided. That is, the bottom plate 18, the side wall 1
The area around the lamp 16 is covered by the rear walls 21 and 20 and the front fender 8. In that case, these bottom plate 18, side walls 19 and front and rear walls 21.2
0 is located inside the front fender 8, so
It is not visible from the outside (there is no deterioration in appearance quality. In this embodiment, the side wall 19 and the front and rear walls 20 are formed in a convex shape to cover the front fork 4, but they are not visible from the outside. Note that 22 is a wire insertion hole, and 23 is a hend pipe insertion hole.

According to the inner fender 17 configured in this manner, when water, mud, etc. are splashed up from the front wheels 5 when the scooter type vehicle 1 is traveling, this water, mud, etc. is swept up to the bottom plate 18, the side walls 19, and the front and rear. Since it hits the wall 21.2 (+), it will not invade the lamp 16.

Therefore, the lamp 16 becomes truly waterproof. namely, the bottom plate 18, the side walls 19, and the front and rear walls 2.
1.20 constitutes the waterproof structure of the lamp 16.

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, the waterproof structure of the scooter type vehicle light device according to the present invention waterproofs the light device by a wall formed on the inner fender and covering the periphery of the light device. Therefore, when the inner fender is installed, it becomes possible to easily obtain a waterproof structure for the lighting equipment. In that case, such a wall can be formed in a knot when molding the inner fender with resin.

Furthermore, since the conventional waterproofing a-side on the lighting equipment side using boots or the like can be eliminated, not only the number of parts can be reduced, but also the waterproof structure can be formed at low cost.

Furthermore, since the inner fender is hidden by the front fender, under cowl, etc., even if such a wall is provided on the inner fender, the appearance will not be spoiled.
