Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Special Open 2010-100155

The inventors wish to observe the left and right lights from a viewing angle in a direction in which a large angle is formed in the front-rear direction of the vehicle when the left and right lights are viewed from the opposite side of each of the left and right lights. That is, the inventor hopes that the left lamp can be easily observed not only on the left side of the vehicle, but also from the left side of the vehicle when viewing the left lamp from the right side. The above left light is observed. Moreover, the inventors hope that the right lamp can be easily observed not only on the right side of the vehicle but also from the left side when the right lamp is viewed from the left side. light.

The inventors have considered that, in the straddle-type vehicle of the vehicular type vehicle as described in the prior art, the left and right lights are disposed relatively rearward in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and thus the opposite of each of the left and right lights When the left and right lights are observed at the side positions, it is difficult to observe the left and right lights from the viewing angle in a direction in which a large angle is formed in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. As in the straddle-type vehicle 901 shown in FIG. 16, the left and right lamps 965 and 965 are disposed rearward in the vehicle front-rear direction, and can be viewed from a smaller angle when the right lamp is viewed from the front of the vehicle and to the left. The right light 965 is observed at the angle of view (viewing angle A). However, when viewed from the front of the vehicle and viewed from the left, the right light 965 will be blocked by the front outer casing 902 or the headlight 945 if viewed from a larger angle of view (viewing angle B). As a result, it is difficult to observe the right lamp 965 from a large angle of view (viewing angle B). Similarly, when viewing the left light from the front of the vehicle and to the right, the left light 965 will be blocked by the front outer casing 902 or the headlight 945 if viewed from a larger angle of view. As a result, it will be difficult to observe the left lamp 965 from a large angle of view.

In order to solve this problem, the inventors considered that the left and right lamps are arranged in the front.

However, a headlight is arranged between the left and right lights. Therefore, even if the left and right lamps are disposed in the front side, there is a possibility that the left and right lamps are affected by the light of the headlight having a large amount of light. In this way, even if the left and right lights are moved forward, there are cases where the left and right lights are not easily observed from the opposite side.

For example, in the case of the scooter type vehicle described in Patent Document 1, when the left direction lamp is disposed in the front direction, if the left direction lamp is viewed from the right side, the headlight light having a large amount of light is present. As a result, it is difficult to observe the state in which the left direction light is turned off.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object thereof is to provide a straddle type vehicle, The left and right lights can be easily observed even if they are disposed on the opposite side of each of the left and right lights on the right and left sides of the headlight and form a large angle with respect to the front and rear direction of the vehicle.

In order to solve the above problems, the inventors have the following idea.

Specifically, the inventors thought that the left and right lamps were disposed at a higher height than the headlights while arranging the left and right lamps at the front side.

By arranging the left and right lights in the front, the left and right lights can be prevented from being blocked by the front casing or the headlights, so that the angle of view from the opposite side and in a direction that forms a larger angle with the front and rear of the vehicle is easily observed. Further, by arranging the left and right lamps at a height different from that of the headlights in the vertical direction of the vehicle, even if the left and right lights are disposed in the front direction, the influence of the light of the headlights on the left and right lights can be reduced.

However, the lights of a vehicle usually have a light source disposed behind the lamp housing. Therefore, even if the left and right lamps are disposed in the front, the light source is disposed relatively rearward. That is, in the case where the left and right lamps are disposed in the front direction, and the headlights and the left and right lamps are arranged in the vertical direction of the vehicle, although the left and right lamp housings themselves are easily observed from the opposite side, the left and right sides are The light source is still not easily observed.

Further, since the left and right lamp housings are translucent, even if the light of the light source having a relatively small amount of light from the left and right lamps is received, the left and right lamp housings themselves cannot be observed because they are not too bright. That is, although the left and right lamp housings themselves can be easily observed from the opposite side, the shiny state of the left and right lamps is still not easily observed from the opposite side.

Therefore, attempts have been made to change the position of the light source such that the light source of the left and right lamps is easily observed from the opposite side, or to increase the amount of light, or to change the shape of the reflector so that the light of the light source is reflected to the opposite side. However, its construction has become very complicated.

In view of the above problems, the inventors have greatly changed the concept. Specifically, the inventors focused on the type of the left and right lights and the arrangement positions of the left and right lights and the headlights, thereby greatly changing the concept.

In the case where the left and right lights are the directional lights of Patent Document 1, the left and right lights are turned "on" by the rider when the switch is turned on. The headlights are essentially "lighted" by the rider turning the switch on. That is, when the headlights are turned on, the left and right direction lights do not always emit light. Moreover, the left and right direction lights and the headlights differ greatly in color. That is, the way of illuminating between the left and right direction lights and the headlights is very different. Therefore, there is a concern that when the left and right direction lights receive the light of the headlights, it is difficult to observe the light-off state of the left and right direction lights when viewed from the opposite side of the left and right direction lamps. There is no problem in the case of observing in the same direction as the left and right direction lights.

On the other hand, in the straddle type vehicle of the present aspect, position lights similar to the headlights are disposed as left and right lights as left and right lights, respectively. The position light is illuminated by the rider by turning the switch on and off. That is, when the headlights are lit, the position lights are always lit at all times. Also, the color of the position light is more similar to the color of the headlight than the direction light.

Since the position lamp and the headlight are illuminated in a similar manner, the inventor pays attention to the position light even if the light of the headlight is received. On the basis of this point, the inventors thought that it would be possible to actively use the illuminating of the headlights that were originally thought to have the potential to cause adverse effects. That is, the left and right position lamp housings are made brighter by actively illuminating the headlights to the left and right position lamp housings as described above, whereby they are easily observed from the opposite directions.

In detail, a straddle type vehicle according to an aspect of the present invention includes a head pipe, a front casing, a headlight, a left position lamp, and a right position lamp. The front outer casing is placed in front of the head pipe. The headlights are disposed in the front outer casing. The left position light is disposed on the front outer casing and is disposed on the left side of the headlight. The right position light is disposed on the front outer casing and is disposed on the right side of the headlight. The headlight includes a headlight source that emits light, and a headlight housing that is disposed before the headlight source and that is translucent. The left position lamp includes a left position light source that emits light, and a left position lamp housing that is disposed in front of the left position light source and that is translucent. Right position light contains A right-position light source that emits light and a right-position lamp housing that is disposed in front of the right-position light source and that is translucent. The left side portion of the headlight housing and the right side portion of the headlight housing are formed to extend forward. The left position lamp housing is formed such that the left side portion of the left position lamp housing and the right side portion of the left position lamp housing extend forward and protrude forward. The right position lamp housing is formed such that the right side portion of the right position lamp housing and the left side portion of the right position lamp housing extend forward and protrude forward. When viewed from the left side of the vehicle, the position above the center of the vehicle in the up-and-down direction from the left side of the headlight housing is lower than the center of the vehicle in the up-and-down direction of the left side of the headlight housing, and the right side of the left-hand lamp housing Overlaps the left side of the headlight housing. In the right side view, the position above the center of the vehicle in the up-and-down direction from the right side of the headlight housing is lower than the center of the vehicle in the up-and-down direction of the right side of the headlight housing, and the left side of the right-position lamp housing is The right side of the headlight housing overlaps.

According to the above aspect, in the straddle type vehicle of the present invention, position lights similar to the headlights are disposed as left and right lights as left and right lights, respectively. The left position lamp housing and the right position lamp housing are formed to protrude forward. Further, the position from the left side of the left side of the headlight housing to the upper side of the vehicle up to the center of the left side of the headlight housing is lower than the center of the vehicle in the up and down direction, and the right side of the left side of the lamp housing and the headlight housing The left side overlaps. From the position of the right side of the headlight housing to the upper side of the vehicle in the up and down direction until the position of the right side of the headlight housing is lower than the center of the vehicle up and down direction, the left side of the right position lamp housing and the right side of the headlight housing The departments overlap. Therefore, if the left position lamp housing and the right position lamp housing are arranged as described above, the side of the left and right position lamp housings adjacent to the headlights is disposed at least around the center of the headlight housing in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and is disposed in the same manner. The headlight housing has the same height, so the range of light emitted from the headlight housing in the left and right position housings is larger. Therefore, the light emitted from the headlight housing can be actively illuminated to the left and right position lamp housings. Here, the so-called "headlights on the vehicle" The range around the center of the downward direction refers to a range including a portion of the center of the headlight casing in the vertical direction when the headlight casing is equally divided in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

Thereby, even if the left and right position lights of the straddle type vehicle of the present aspect are located at the front side, the influence of the illumination of the headlights on the illumination of the left and right position lamps can be avoided. Conversely, the illumination of the headlights can be actively utilized. That is, it is made brighter by actively illuminating the light of the headlights to the position of the lamp housing that is less illuminating, especially near the side of the headlight, thereby making it easier to see from the opposite side.

As described above, the straddle-type vehicle of the present invention achieves an excellent effect of a viewing angle from a direction opposite to each of the right and left position lights disposed on the right and left sides of the headlight and at a large angle to the front and rear directions of the vehicle. It is also possible to easily observe the above-mentioned left and right position lights.

Preferably, when viewed from the left side of the vehicle, the position from the left side of the left side of the headlight housing is higher than the center of the vehicle in the up and down direction of the left side of the headlight housing, and the left position light The outer casing is located closer to the front of the vehicle than the left edge of the left side of the headlight housing and is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the front edge of the headlight housing. When viewed from the right side of the vehicle, the position above the center of the vehicle in the up-and-down direction of the right side of the headlight housing is lower than the center of the vehicle in the up-and-down direction of the right side of the headlight housing, and the right position lamp housing is located at a position higher than the center of the vehicle in the up-and-down direction of the right side of the headlight housing. The right edge of the right side of the headlight housing is closer to the front of the vehicle and closer to the rear of the vehicle than the front edge of the headlight housing.

In this case, the position from the center of the headlight housing to the upper and lower directions of the vehicle is higher than the center of the headlight housing in the up and down direction of the vehicle, and the position of the left and right positions of the lamp is located in the headlight housing. The left and right edges are closer to the front of the vehicle, and at least a portion of the headlights can be located rearward of the front end of the lamp housing at the left and right positions. Therefore, the left and right position lamp housings are easily received by the light emitted from the headlight housing.

However, in the case where the lamp housing is excessively protruded at the left and right positions, there is a possibility that light is hard to be irradiated to the front ends. Therefore, the position of the left and right position lights is based on the vehicle from the headlight housing The position above the center of the up-and-down direction is lower than the center of the headlight housing in the up-and-down direction of the vehicle, and is located closer to the rear of the vehicle than the front edge of the headlight housing. Thereby, the front end of each of the lamp housings at the left and right positions is also easy to receive light emitted from the headlight housing. Therefore, even if the angle of view is formed from the opposite side of each of the left and right position lamps and the direction in which the vehicle is formed at a large angle to the front and rear directions, the left and right position lamps can be easily observed.

Preferably, the left outer casing lamp opening portion for arranging the left position lamp and the right position lamp opening portion for arranging the right position lamp are formed in the front outer casing. When viewed from the left side of the vehicle, the left position lamp housing is at least partially located in front of the vehicle in the left-hand position of the lamp opening. When viewed from the right side of the vehicle, the right position lamp housing is at least partially located in the right position of the lamp opening portion and further in front of the vehicle.

In this case, the left and right position lamp housings have a more protruding configuration than the front housing. Therefore, the light of the headlight is actively illuminated to the left and right positions, and the lamp housing is made brighter, especially near the side of the headlight, thereby making it easier to observe from the opposite side. Therefore, even if it is disposed on the opposite side of the left and right position lamps on the right and left sides of the headlight and forms a viewing angle in a direction at a large angle with the front and rear directions of the vehicle, the left and right position lamps can be easily observed.

Preferably, the left position lamp housing extends at least in part toward the top of the headlight housing. The right position lamp housing extends at least in part toward the top of the headlight housing.

In this case, the light emitted from the headlight housing is irradiated to the left and right positions of the lamp housing overlapping the headlight housing in a side view, and then guided to a portion extending further above the headlight housing. That is, in the left and right position lamp housings, not only the portion overlapping the headlight housing in the side view, but also the portion extending further above the headlight housing can be illuminated by the light emitted from the headlight housing. Therefore, the light of the headlights on the left and right position lamp housings can be actively utilized. Thereby, it is possible to more easily arrange the left and right position lights from the angle of view on the opposite side of each of the left and right position lamps on the right and left sides of the headlight and in a direction in which the vehicle forms a large angle in the front and rear directions.

Preferably, when viewed from the left side of the vehicle, the left position lamp housing extends from the position of the same height as the lower end of the headlight housing toward the upper and rear of the vehicle to a position higher than the upper end of the headlight housing. When viewed from the right side of the vehicle, the right position lamp housing extends from the position of the same height as the lower end of the headlight housing toward the upper and rear of the vehicle to a position higher than the upper end of the headlight housing.

In this case, the left and right position lamp housings are formed to extend toward the rear and rear of the vehicle. Thereby, even if the left and right position lights are located forward, at least a part of the headlight housing is not blocked by the left and right position lamp housings in side view. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the side visibility of the headlights in addition to the above-described left and right position lights even if the angle of view is formed from the opposite side of each of the left and right position lights and the direction of the front and rear directions of the vehicle. .

Preferably, the light sources of the left position lamps are arranged in a line in the vertical direction. The light sources of the right position lamps are arranged in a line in the vertical direction.

In this case, since the light sources of the left and right position lamps are arranged linearly in the vertical direction, the left and right position lamps can be formed longer and longer. Thereby, the left and right position lamp housings are longer and longer near the side of the headlight, and it is easy to increase the range of the light irradiation, and thus can be actively illuminated by the light of the headlight. Therefore, it is possible to more easily arrange the left and right position lights from the angle of view on the opposite side of each of the left and right position lamps on the right and left sides of the headlight and in a direction in which the vehicle forms a large angle in the front and rear directions.

Preferably, an opening for the headlight for arranging the headlight is formed in the front casing. In the side view, the headlights are disposed closer to the rear of the vehicle than the imaginary straight line X between the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the opening portion for connecting the headlights.

In this case, the headlights can be located at the rear. Therefore, the left and right position lights can easily receive the light emitted from the headlights, and thus can be actively illuminated by the light of the headlights. Therefore, it is more convenient to self-dispose on the opposite side of each of the left and right position lights of the headlights and form a larger angle with the front and rear directions of the vehicle. The left and right position lights are observed from the perspective of the direction of the degree.

Preferably, the angle of the leading edge of the left position lamp housing relative to the horizontal line is smaller than the front edge of the headlight housing when viewed from the left side of the vehicle. When viewed from the right side of the vehicle, the angle of the front edge of the right position lamp housing relative to the horizontal line is smaller than the front edge of the headlight housing.

In this case, the tilt of the leading edge of the left and right position lights is gentler than that of the headlights. Thereby, even if the left and right position lights are located at the front side, the area where the headlights are blocked by the left and right position lights can be reduced in the side view. Therefore, it is possible to easily observe the left and right position lights in addition to the angle of view of the direction from the opposite side of each of the left and right position lamps and the direction of the front and rear of the vehicle. The visibility of the headlights.

Preferably, in the front outer casing, the edge portion in contact with the left side portion of the left position lamp housing is located closer to the rear of the vehicle than the edge portion which is in contact with the right side portion of the left position lamp housing. In the front outer casing, the edge portion in contact with the right side portion of the right position lamp housing is located behind the vehicle at a portion closer to the left side portion of the lamp housing at the right position.

In this case, it is ensured that the exposed area of the left side surface of the left position lamp housing and the right side surface of the right position lamp housing is large. Therefore, in addition to the above-described left and right position lights, it is possible to easily observe the left and right sides of the left and right sides, in addition to the angle of view of the direction from the opposite side of the left and right position lights to the direction of the front and rear of the vehicle. The visibility of the position light.

Preferably, it further includes a left direction light and a right direction light. The left direction light is placed at a lower position than the lower end of the headlight housing. The right direction light is placed at a lower position than the lower end of the headlight housing.

In this case, since the left and right direction lamps are disposed at a position lower than the lower end portion of the headlight housing, the influence of the headlight light on the left and right direction lamps can be reduced. Therefore, in addition to the left and right position lights, the left and right direction lights can be easily observed even if they are viewed from the opposite side and form a large angle with respect to the front and rear directions of the vehicle.

Preferably, the left direction light includes a left direction light source and a left direction light reflector. The left direction light source and the left direction lamp reflector are located further behind the front edge of the light opening portion of the left position. The right direction light includes a right direction light source and a right direction light reflector. In the side view, the right direction light source and the right direction lamp reflector are located behind the front edge of the light opening portion of the right position.

In this case, the left and right direction lights are respectively located behind the front edge of the light opening portion of the left and right positions. Thereby, even if the light of the headlight is actively irradiated to the left and right position lamp housings, the influence of the headlight light on the left and right direction lamps can be reduced. Therefore, in addition to the left and right position lights, the left and right direction lights can be easily observed even if they are viewed from the opposite side and form a large angle with respect to the front and rear directions of the vehicle.
