Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a case structure for mounting an air cleaner and a battery, which are functional parts in an all-terrain vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Vehicles that run on rough terrain, such as mountains and rough terrain, are driven under harsh driving conditions such as dusting up and directly covering mud while driving.

The air cleaner, which is a functional component equipped in this type of vehicle, is located near the engine and cleanly removes dust and mud contained in the intake air to generate sufficient combustion air required by the engine. It is necessary to supply the battery, and it is also necessary that the battery be near the engine so that it can be easily maintained in order to maintain its function.

In order to satisfy such requirements, an air cleaner is installed in the lower part of the seat so that combustion air is taken in from the lower part of the seat, and a battery is also installed in the vicinity of the air cleaner. I try to remove the seat.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an air cleaner case and a battery case for mounting a conventional air cleaner and a battery.

The air cleaner case 1 is of an upper end opening type, and has screw holes 2 for mounting to the vehicle body by using mounting bolts on projections 3 projecting from the upper portions of both side walls of the case.

The battery case 4 is connected to the air cleaner case 1, and is provided with a mounting portion 5 for mounting on the vehicle body. As prior art, there are, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-108190 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-110184.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the case where the conventional air cleaner case and the battery case are separately configured, each needs to be individually mounted to the vehicle body, so the number of parts is increased and the mounting work is complicated. Also, inspection and maintenance work on the air cleaner and battery will be complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and an air cleaner and a battery are provided in one case of an upper opening type to simplify the structure and to facilitate inspection and maintenance work. It is an object of the present invention to provide a case structure for mounting a functional component of an irregular terrain vehicle.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is to provide a continuous structure for the left and right rear fender bases that are attached to the vehicle body in an all-terrain vehicle with left and right rear fenders protruding from the bottom of the seat. A special feature is that a mounting hole is formed in the rear-fender continuous part located under the seat, a case with an upper end opened is mounted in the mounting hole, and an air cleaner and a battery installation space are defined in the case. And a case structure for mounting functional parts of an all-terrain vehicle.

[0011]

[Action]

 At the bottom of the seat, an air cleaner and a battery are installed in a drop-in type in an upper opening type case, which simplifies the distribution of these functional parts.When the seat is removed, the upper part of the case is opened and these functional parts are opened. Easy inspection and maintenance work.

[0012]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a case of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state where the case is attached to a vehicle body, and FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional side view of the air cleaner case attached to the vehicle body.

In FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, reference numeral 6 denotes a frame of the vehicle body under the seat, which forms a pair of left and right at appropriate intervals. Reference numeral 7 denotes a seat attached to the frame 6, and the seat bottom plate has a central portion recessed upward. Reference numeral 8 denotes left and right rear fenders projecting from the lower part of the seat, and the bases of both rear fenders 8 attached to the frame 6 form a continuous portion 9 having a planar spread. Reference numeral 10 is a mounting hole which is located in the lower portion of the seat and is opened in the rear fender continuous portion 9, 11 is a case which is mounted in this mounting hole 10, and a flange 12 having an appropriate width is provided all around the upper end edge. The case 11 is fitted into the mounting hole 10 so that the flange 12 is in close contact with the surface of the rear fender continuous portion 9 around the mounting hole 10 and is tightened together with the rear fender continuous portion 9 using the mounting bolts 13 to the frame 1. Mounted. 14 is an air cleaner installation space defined in the case 11, 15 is a battery installation space similarly defined in the case 11, and an air cleaner is installed in the air cleaner installation space 14 in a drop-down manner to cover the upper lid. 16 and the battery is also dropped into the battery mounting space 15 so that the battery is mounted and the band 17 and the case 11 are fastened together and fixed using the mounting bolt 13.

The air taken into the air cleaner is guided by meandering the air passage 18 formed between the upper lid 16 and the case 11. In the figure, 19 is a connection port provided in the case 11 for guiding the air from the air cleaner to the engine, and is connected to the intake pipe.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 According to this invention configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

(A) At a relatively high position under the seat, a rear fender with a planar spread is installed with a case with an open upper end embedded in the continuous part, and the air cleaner and the battery are dropped into this case and arranged. Since it is mounted, the number of parts can be reduced compared to the conventional structure using individual cases, and the assembly work of the vehicle body can be performed easily and efficiently.

(B) For inspection and maintenance work on the air cleaner and the battery, the upper part of the case is opened when the seat is removed, and the work can be simplified.

(C) Since air is taken into the air cleaner through the gap formed between the upper surface of the rear fender continuous section and the lower part of the seat, dust and mud from the lower part of the fender are blocked and clean air is always taken in. However, sufficient combustion air required by the engine can be supplied regardless of the driving conditions.
