Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a wind guide device C for a motorcycle.

(Prior Art and Problems) In recent years, front cowls have been installed on motorcycles in order to increase the windproof effect. In such a motorcycle, the wind hits the area from the knees to the thighs,
Because it is difficult to move, there is a problem that comfort is impaired during high temperatures such as in summer.

Furthermore, when the temperature is low, such as in winter, the body temperature tends to drop due to the wind when the vehicle is running, so there has been a demand for improving comfort by warming the area around the waist in particular.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an air guide device for a motorcycle equipped with a front cowl, which can blow air around the thighs of an occupant to improve riding comfort.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a motorcycle equipped with a front cowl with a suction port, and provides air introduced from the suction port to the rider's thighs. Particularly, it is characterized in that an air outlet for introducing air is provided around the part, and it is preferable that the air inlet and the air outlet are connected by a duct.

Further, hot air or cold air can be blown from the outlet through the duct.

Furthermore, the air outlet may be arranged in multiple stages.

(Function) A suction port is provided in the front cowl, and the air introduced from the suction port is blown around the occupant's thighs through the blowout port, thereby improving comfort during driving.

In addition, by blowing cold wind, which is the driving wind, from the outlet, it is possible to improve comfort during high temperatures such as summer, and furthermore, by blowing warm air from the outlet, comfort during low temperatures such as winter can be improved. It can be improved.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the motorcycle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is the same plane.

The motorcycle 1 includes a front wheel 2, a rear wheel 2, front forks 3 and 1 that support the front wheel 2, and a steering handle 4 that steers the front fork 3. Behind the steering handle 4 is a fuel tank. A tank cover 5 which is a tank with a different shape, and a seat 6 for seating the driver.
and a pillion seat 7 for seating a rear seat passenger.

The front part of the vehicle body is covered with a front cowl 8, which includes an upper cowl 13 that swingably supports the screen 9, and a lower cowl 14 that is integrally connected to the upper cowl 13. - A Heradride 12 is disposed between the upper cowl 13 and the screen 9. A gap is provided between the headlight 12 and the screen 9 for rectification within the screen. Further, rearview mirrors 10 are attached to both sides of the upper cowl 13.

Behind the front cowl 8, a side cowl 21, a side cover 22, an under cowl 24, and a rear cowl 27, which cover vehicle body accessories such as an engine 19 and an exhaust pipe 20, are substantially integrally arranged. In the figure, 26 is a muffler whose rear end protrudes behind the under cowl 24, 28 is a chain cover, 29 is a rear wheel, 23 is a foot step, and 25 is a pillion step.

Intake ports 15 are provided on both sides of the front cowl 8 to open forward and take in air by wind pressure during driving. A main duct 16 is connected to this intake port 15 .

On the other hand, air outlets 5a are opened at the lower portions of both sides of the tank cover 5, and air outlets 5b are opened near the rear end. Furthermore, an air outlet 6a is provided at the front upper part of the seat 6.

6b, and an air outlet 7a for a pillion rider (rear seat passenger) is formed on the pillion seat 7 near the seat 6. Note that 5c is a recessed portion that a rear seat occupant grips when driving.

The main duct 16 is connected to the outlet ports 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, and 7a, and the air taken in from the intake port 15 is transferred from the knees of the driver seated on the seat 6 through the outlet ports 5a, 5b, 8a, and 6b. Air is blown around the thighs, thereby improving comfort during high temperatures such as in summer.

A bypass duct 17 is connected to the main duct 16, and a warm air chamber 18 is disposed in the middle of the bypass duct 17 to take in heat from the exhaust pipe 20 and heat the air in the bypass duct 17. The warm-up chamber 18 may be arranged so as to take in heat from the engine 19 or a radiator (not shown). Furthermore, bypass duct 17
Alternatively, a valve (not shown) for switching between cold air and hot air is provided in the bypassed portion of the main duct 16, and the air outlet 5
Cold air or warm air is blown from a, 5b, 6a, 6b, and 7a. In FIG. 2, 31 is a blinker 32, a front brake lever 33, a clutch lever 34 is a brake pedal, and 35 is a shift pedal.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the ur-nr line in FIG. The main duct 16 is formed by this recess 51.
consists of at least a portion of

FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line rV-IV in FIG. 1. The pillion seat 7 is made of a skin material 7d and a cushion material 7e, and is vertically penetrated to form an air outlet 7a. The air guided by the main duct 16 through the air outlet 7a is blown around the thighs of the rear seat occupant through the duct 16.17, thereby improving the comfort of the rear seat occupant while driving. .

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the front cowl is provided with an inlet, and the air introduced from the inlet is blown around the thighs of the occupant through the outlet. Comfort during driving can be improved. Further, by blowing cold air from the outlet, comfort during high temperatures such as in summer can be improved, and by blowing warm air, comfort during low temperatures such as during winter can be improved.
