Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a buggy vehicle, particularly a three-wheeled or four-wheeled buggy vehicle, having two rear wheels equipped with a rear bumper that also serves as a battery guard.

[Conventional technology]

In buggies with two rear wheels, where a fuel tank is provided below the rear of the seat and a battery is arranged behind the tank, conventionally the swing arm is placed below the fuel tank, so the vicinity of the fuel tank, especially the tank There was no body frame placed around the rear battery to protect the battery to avoid complication.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in a buggy vehicle such as a four-wheeled buggy, if there is no protection for the battery disposed at the rear of the vehicle body, there is a risk that the battery cannot be protected from external factors when driving on rough terrain.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a buggy vehicle equipped with a rear bumper that also serves as a guard for the battery disposed at the rear of the vehicle body.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a buggy vehicle having two rear wheels in which a fuel tank is provided below the rear of the seat and a battery is disposed behind the tank. A rear bumper consists of a U-shaped pipe that is fixed to the frame and spans both upper sides and the rear of the battery, and a U-shaped pipe that has both ends fixed to the pipe and spans both sides and the bottom of the battery. It is characterized by the fact that it has been established.

[Effect]

Therefore, the battery is not exposed and is protected by the rear bumper even when driving on rough terrain.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a four-wheel buggy vehicle will be described based on the drawings.

A four-wheel buggy vehicle 1 has a pair of front wheels 2 (one not shown) with balloon tires attached to the front part of the vehicle body (left part in FIG. 1), and a pair of rear wheels 2 with balloon tires attached to the rear part. wheel 3
This front wheel 2
An engine 4 is supported and mounted on a body frame 5 approximately in the center of the vehicle body between the rear wheels 3 and 3, and a saddle-type seat 6 is supported on a rear pipe 5a at the rear of the body frame 5 at an angle above and behind the engine 4. It is well established. A bar handle 8 for steering the pair of front wheels 2 via a steering shaft 7 is provided in front of this seat 6, a fuel tank 9 is located below the rear of this seat 6, and a battery 10 is further behind that. It is arranged.

In addition, at the front of the vehicle, there is a bonnet 11 integrally molded from synthetic resin and left and right front wheels 2.
Left and right front fenders 12 are arranged to cover the
On the other hand, at the rear of the vehicle body, left and right rear fenders 13 connected behind the seat 6 and integrally molded from synthetic resin are disposed so as to cover the left and right rear wheels 3.

A rear pipe 5 supporting the seat 6
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a is a rear pipe that has one end fixed to the rear pivot bracket 14 and the other end fixed to the rear end of the rear pipe 5a, and is arranged on both sides of the fuel tank 9. It is supported by the stay 5b, and the fuel tank 9 is also guarded thereby.

The rear pipe bracket 14 supports the tip of a swing arm 15 so as to be able to swing vertically, and a reaction 16 is interposed between the swing arm 15 and the rear pipe 5a. Further, a holder pipe 15a for inserting and supporting the rear axle is fixedly installed at the rear end of the swing arm 15.
This holder pipe 15a has a trailer hitch 1.
7 is installed.

A rear bumper 18 that also serves as a guard for the battery 10 is provided on the rear pipe stay 5b. This rear bumper 18 is integrally formed by joining two U-shaped pipe materials.
One pipe material 18a has both ends fixed near the fixed part of the rear pipe stay 5b to the rear pipe 5a, extends rearward across both upper side surfaces and the rear surface of the battery 10, and bends the rear part upward. The other pipe material 18b is provided in a curved manner, with both ends thereof joined to the one pipe material 18a, and is provided across both side surfaces and the bottom surface of the battery 10.
Therefore, the battery 10 is protected by the rear bumper 18, and the buggy can be propped up with the pipe material 18a of the rear bumper 18 grounded.

Furthermore, a tank guard 19 for guarding the fuel tank 9 is disposed between the fuel tank 9 and the swing arm 15. This tank guard 19 is a flat plate formed in a rectangular shape, and has one end fixed to the cross pipe connecting the left and right rear pipe stays 5b, and the other end fixed to the lower part of the pipe material 18b of the rear bumper 18. . With this, when replacing the reaction 16,
The swing arm 15 does not swing and directly hit the fuel tank 9, and damage to the fuel tank 9 can be prevented.

It is preferable to provide a stop lever 20 at a location on the lower surface of the tank guard 19 that is in contact with the trailer hitch 17 provided at the rear end of the swing arm 15. With this structure, when the swing arm 15 swings, the upper end of the trailer hitch 17 at the rear end of the swing arm 15 comes into contact with the stop lever 20 and plays the role of a stopper. Furthermore, since no stop lever or the like is provided on the swing arm side, weight and cost reductions can be achieved.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention provides a fuel tank installed below the rear of the seat, and a battery installed at the rear of the buggy, which has two rear wheels, with both ends fixed to the body frame. The rear bumper is made of a U-shaped pipe material that spans both sides and the rear of the upper part, and a U-shaped pipe material that is fixed at both ends to the pipe material and spans both sides and bottom of the battery. Even if the vehicle falls down while driving, the battery is protected by the rear bumper placed around it.
