Description

VEHICULE DE TRANSPORT A DEUX ROUES, EN PARTICULIER MOTOCYCLE DE TRANSPORT.TRANSPORT VEHICLE WITH TWO WHEELS, PARTICULARLY TRANSPORT MOTORCYCLES.
L'invention est relative à un véhicule de transport à deux roues, du genre comportant un bâti porteur avec une roue avant orientable, une direction avec guidon pour commander l'orientation de la roue avant, une roue arrière de petit diamètre portée par un bras oscillant articulé sur le bâti, un siège fixé sur le bâti entre les roues et un support de chargement à l'arrière du siège, situé au-dessus de la roue arrière. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement, mais non exclusivement, un véhicule à moteur, notamment un motocycle de transport.The invention relates to a two-wheeled transport vehicle, of the type comprising a carrying frame with a steerable front wheel, a steering with handlebars for controlling the orientation of the front wheel, a small diameter rear wheel carried by an arm. oscillating articulated on the frame, a seat fixed on the frame between the wheels and a loading support at the rear of the seat, located above the rear wheel. The invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to a motor vehicle, in particular a transport motorcycle.
On a déjà proposé d'aménager les véhicules à deux roues pour permettre le transport de divers fardeaux ou le transport d'une personne en plus du conducteur (taxi-moto, vélo-taxi). Toutefois, les solutions proposées jusqu'à ce jour ne sont pas entièrement satisfaisantes car l'espace utile offert pour le chargement est relativement réduit.It has already been proposed to fit two-wheeled vehicles to allow the transport of various burdens or the transport of one person in addition to the driver (taxi-motorcycle, bicycle-taxi). However, the solutions proposed to date are not entirely satisfactory since the useful space offered for loading is relatively small.
L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir un véhicule de transport à deux roues qui permette un volume de chargement important tout en restant d'une construction relativement simple. Il est en outre souhaitable que la conduite d'un tel véhicule à deux roues reste semblable à celle d'un motocycle classique à guidon et que soient préservés les atouts des motocycles classiques en matière de circulation et stationnement.The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a transport vehicle with two wheels which allows a large loading volume while remaining of a relatively simple construction. It is further desirable that the driving of such a two-wheeled vehicle remains similar to that of a conventional motorcycle with handlebars and that the advantages of conventional motorcycles in terms of traffic and parking are preserved.
Selon l'invention, un véhicule de transport à deux roues, du genre défini précédemment, est caractérisé par le fait que le siège du conducteur est situé plus près de l'axe de la roue avant que de l'axe de la roue arrière et que le support de chargement comprend un plateau s' étendant au moins partiellement en avant de la roue arrière ; avantageusement, le plan du plateau est disposé juste au-dessus de la zone de débattement de la roue arrière et tous les éléments constitutifs du véhicule, qui sont en arrière du plan vertical passant par le bord arrière du siège, sont disposés au-dessous du plan dudit plateau. La position avancée du siège, combinée avec la roue arrière de petit diamètre, permet d'obtenir une capacité de chargement importante aussi bien dans le sens de la longueur du véhicule (position avancée du siège et dégagement sous le siège) que dans le sens de la hauteur (position basse du plateau en raison du petit diamètre de la roue arrière). Avantageusement, le guidon de la direction est déporté vers l'avant et monté à rotation à l'extrémité d'une console en saillie vers l'avant, tandis que des moyens de transmission sont prévus pour communiquer la rotation du guidon à la colonne de direction.According to the invention, a two-wheeled transport vehicle, of the kind defined above, is characterized in that the driver's seat is located closer to the axis of the front wheel than to the axis of the rear wheel and that the loading support comprises a plate extending at least partially in front of the rear wheel; advantageously, the plane of the plate is arranged just above the zone of travel of the rear wheel and all the constituent elements of the vehicle, which are behind the vertical plane passing through the rear edge of the seat, are arranged below the plan of said plateau. The advanced position of the seat, combined with the small diameter rear wheel, provides loading capacity important both in the direction of the length of the vehicle (advanced position of the seat and clearance under the seat) as in the direction of the height (low position of the platform due to the small diameter of the rear wheel). Advantageously, the steering handlebar is offset forward and rotatably mounted at the end of a console projecting forward, while transmission means are provided for communicating the rotation of the handlebar to the column of direction.
Ces moyens de transmission peuvent comprendre un mécanisme à parallélogramme déformable.These transmission means can include a deformable parallelogram mechanism.
De préférence, la roue avant a un diamètre supérieur à celui de la roue arrière (ce qui permet de conserver l'effet gyroscopique ainsi que la stabilité et les qualités de freinage d'un motocycle classique) et est supportée par une fourche montée pivotante relativement au bâti. La roue arrière peut avoir un diamètre de l'ordre de celui des roues de scooter, c'est-à-dire que le diamètre extérieur du pneumatique de la roue est compris entre 38 et 52 cm environ. De préférence, le rapport du diamètre extérieur du pneumatique de la roue avant au diamètre extérieur du pneumatique de la roue arrière est compris entre 1,1 et 2 environ, et mieux encore entre 1,2 et 1,6 environ. Au sens de la présente demande, le diamètre extérieur du pneumatique d'une roue est le diamètre maximal de la bande de roulement de ladite roue.Preferably, the front wheel has a diameter greater than that of the rear wheel (which makes it possible to preserve the gyroscopic effect as well as the stability and the braking qualities of a conventional motorcycle) and is supported by a fork mounted pivoting relatively to the frame. The rear wheel may have a diameter of the order of that of the scooter wheels, that is to say that the outside diameter of the tire of the wheel is between 38 and 52 cm approximately. Preferably, the ratio of the outside diameter of the tire of the front wheel to the outside diameter of the tire of the rear wheel is between approximately 1.1 and 2, and better still between approximately 1.2 and 1.6. Within the meaning of the present application, the outside diameter of the tire of a wheel is the maximum diameter of the tread of said wheel.
Le bâti du véhicule est avantageusement constitué par une poutre maîtresse, sensiblement en forme de L, la branche relevée du L étant vers l'avant ; ceci contribue à permettre d'augmenter le volume de chargement. Le siège du conducteur est, de préférence, fixé au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure de la partie avant montante de cette poutre maîtresse, ce qui permet de dégager l'espace qu'il surplombe.The vehicle frame is advantageously constituted by a main beam, substantially L-shaped, the raised branch of the L being forward; this helps to increase the loading volume. The driver's seat is preferably fixed in the vicinity of the upper end of the rising front part of this master beam, which makes it possible to free up the space which it overhangs.
Lorsque le véhicule comporte un moteur, celui-ci est avantageusement constitué par un groupe moteur oscillant. Le bras oscillant portant la roue arrière peut alors supporter également le moteur.When the vehicle has an engine, it is advantageously constituted by an oscillating engine group. The swinging arm carrying the rear wheel can then also support the motor.
Le bras oscillant peut être supporté par une chape, notamment en aluminium moulé, fixée à la partie basse arrière de la poutre maîtresse du véhicule.The swinging arm can be supported by a yoke, in particular in cast aluminum, fixed to the rear lower part of the vehicle's main beam.
Le bloc moteur peut être intégré dans le bras oscillant. Dans ce cas, le bras oscillant est formé par l'ensemble d'une platine de jonction, dont l'avant est articulé sur la chape et l'arrière est fixé au bloc moteur, et d'une platine arrière, dont l'avant est fixé au bloc moteur et dont l'arrière est relié à l'axe de la roue arrière. L'ensemble du bras a une direction moyenne sensiblement horizontale.The engine block can be integrated into the swingarm. In in this case, the swinging arm is formed by the assembly of a connecting plate, the front of which is articulated on the yoke and the rear is fixed to the engine block, and a rear plate, the front of which is fixed to the engine block and the rear of which is connected to the axis of the rear wheel. The entire arm has a substantially horizontal mean direction.
Le plateau peut avoir une longueur comprise entre 0,8 et 1,6 m environ ; il peut supporter un conteneur, dont le volume peut atteindre jusqu'à 1 m3, ou une cabine pour constituer un taxi-moto, ou encore toute autre adaptation souhaitée. Le volume du conteneur peut communiquer avec celui d'un coffre ménagé au-dessous du plateau, en arrière de la roue arrière.The plate can have a length of between 0.8 and 1.6 m approximately; it can support a container, whose volume can reach up to 1 m 3 , or a cabin to constitute a motorcycle taxi, or any other desired adaptation. The volume of the container can communicate with that of a trunk formed below the tray, behind the rear wheel.
L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos d'un exemple de réalisation décrit en détail en se référant au dessin annexé, cet exemple n'étant nullement limitatif.The invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below in connection with an embodiment described in detail with reference to the appended drawing, this example is in no way limiting.

En se référant au dessin, notamment aux figures 1 et 2, on peut voir un véhicule 1 de transport à deux roues du type motocycle comportant une roue avant 2 orientable, une direction D avec un guidon 3 pour commander l'orientation de la roue avant, et une roue arrière 4 de petit diamètre. La roue avant 2 correspond à une roue normale de motocyclette, le diamètre extérieur du pneumatique étant de 58 cm environ tandis que la roue arrière 4 a un diamètre nettement plus petit que celui de la roue avant et correspond à une roue de scooter, le diamètre extérieur du pneumatique étant de 43 cm environ. En d'autres termes, dans cet exemple, le diamètre de la roue avant 2 est égal à 1,36 fois le diamètre de la roue arrière 4. Le véhicule 1 comporte un bâti porteur C, qui comprend une poutre maîtresse 5 en forme de L avec une partie avant relevée 5a et une partie arrière sensiblement horizontale 5b.Referring to the drawing, in particular to FIGS. 1 and 2, one can see a two-wheeled transport vehicle 1 of the motorcycle type comprising a steerable front wheel 2, a direction D with a handlebar 3 for controlling the orientation of the front wheel , and a rear wheel 4 of small diameter. The front wheel 2 corresponds to a normal motorcycle wheel, the outside diameter of the tire being approximately 58 cm while the rear wheel 4 has a diameter significantly smaller than that of the front wheel and corresponds to a scooter wheel, the diameter outside of the tire being approximately 43 cm. In other words, in this example, the diameter of the front wheel 2 is equal to 1.36 times the diameter of the rear wheel 4. The vehicle 1 comprises a support frame C, which comprises a master beam 5 in the form of L with a raised front part 5a and a substantially horizontal rear part 5b.
La roue arrière 4 est supportée par un bras oscillant B (fig. 3) dont la direction moyenne est sensiblement horizontale. Le bras B s'étend vers l'arrière à partir d'un axe d'articulation 6 monté sur une chape 7 fixée à la partie basse arrière du bâti C. Comme visible sur la figure 8, la chape 7 comporte deux oreilles 7a,7b, écartées l'une de l'autre, en saillie vers l'arrière et traversées par des alésages coaxiaux servant de paliers pour l'axe 6. Le bloc moteur 8 est également supporté par le bras B.The rear wheel 4 is supported by an oscillating arm B (fig. 3) whose mean direction is substantially horizontal. The arm B extends rearward from a hinge pin 6 mounted on a yoke 7 fixed to the lower rear part of the frame C. As can be seen in FIG. 8, the yoke 7 has two ears 7a, 7b, spaced from one another, projecting rearward and crossed by coaxial bores serving as bearings for the axis 6. The engine block 8 is also supported by the arm B.
Avantageusement, le bloc moteur 8 est intégré dans le bras B. Ce bras B est alors formé par l'ensemble d'une platine de jonction 9 (fig. 3), du bloc moteur 8 et d'une platine arrière 10.Advantageously, the engine block 8 is integrated in the arm B. This arm B is then formed by the assembly of a junction plate 9 (FIG. 3), of the engine block 8 and of a rear plate 10.
La platine 9 est articulée à l'avant sur l'axe 6 de pivotement, et est fixée à l'arrière au bloc moteur 8. La platine arrière 10 est fixée, dans sa partie avant, au bloc moteur 8 ; l'axe X4 de la roue 4 est supporté d'un côté par la platine 10 et de l'autre par le carter de la transmission du bloc moteur 8.The plate 9 is articulated at the front on the pivot axis 6, and is fixed at the rear to the engine block 8. The rear plate 10 is fixed, in its front part, to the engine block 8; the axis X4 of the wheel 4 is supported on one side by the plate 10 and on the other by the casing of the transmission of the engine block 8.
Un combiné "ressort-amortisseur" 11 est disposé d'un côté du bloc moteur, par exemple du côté droit, entre un point d'ancrage 10a prévu en partie haute de la platine arrière 10 et un point d'ancrage 12 prévu sur une traverse 13 faisant partie d'un cadre 14 solidaire du bâti C.A combined "spring-shock absorber" 11 is arranged on one side of the engine block, for example on the right side, between an anchor point 10a provided in the upper part of the rear plate 10 and an anchor point 12 provided on a cross member 13 forming part of a frame 14 integral with the frame C.
La chape 7 est réalisée en métal léger moulé, en particulier en aluminium moulé. Elle est solidaire de la poutre maîtresse 5 et comporte deux extensions latérales 7d, 7g vers l'arrière comme visible sur la figure 8. Ces extensions 7d, 7g servent de points d'ancrage à des poutrelles de triangulation 15d, 15g, par exemple constituées par des profilés creux à section rectangulaire, qui viennent supporter des longerons 16d, 16g du cadre 14. A leur extrémité avant les longerons 16d, 16g sont eux- mêmes fixés à la traverse avant 17, elle-même fixée à une extension supérieure 7h de la chape 7, comme visible sur la figure 1.Clevis 7 is made of molded light metal, in particular cast aluminum. It is integral with the main beam 5 and has two lateral extensions 7d, 7g towards the rear as visible in FIG. 8. These extensions 7d, 7g serve as anchoring points for triangulation beams 15d, 15g, for example formed by hollow profiles with rectangular section, which support the side members 16d, 16g of the frame 14. At their front end the side members 16d, 16g are themselves fixed to the front cross member 17, itself fixed to an upper extension 7h of yoke 7, as shown in Figure 1.
Le cadre 14 de forme rectangulaire comporte une traverse avant 17 et une traverse arrière 18 et, entre les deux, une traverse centrale 13. Il est surmonté d'un plateau 19 en bois ou en matériau composite, qui recouvre la roue arrière 4 et constitue un support de chargement S. Un coffre 20 est prévu à l'arrière du cadre 14, plus en arrière que la roue 4, et fait saillie vers le bas. Le coffre 20 est fermé par une trappe 21 disposée vers l'arrière du plateau 19 et articulée par rapport audit plateau au moyen de charnières 22 ménagées du côté avant de la trappe 21. Une serrure 23, située à l'arrière de la trappe 21 permet de fermer sous clé le coffre 20.The rectangular shaped frame 14 has a front cross member 17 and a rear cross member 18 and, between the two, a central cross member 13. It is surmounted by a plate 19 made of wood or composite material, which covers the rear wheel 4 and constitutes a loading support S. A trunk 20 is provided at the rear of the frame 14, farther back than the wheel 4, and projects downward. The trunk 20 is closed by a hatch 21 disposed towards the rear of the tray 19 and articulated with respect to said tray by means of hinges 22 provided on the front side of the hatch 21. A lock 23, located at the rear of the hatch 21 used to lock the trunk 20.
Pour permettre de donner une longueur L (figure 1) maximale au plateau 19, on repousse vers l'avant le siège 24 du conducteur P ; ce siège est directement fixé sur la partie montante de la poutre maîtresse 5 à proximité de l'axe géométrique de rotation A de la colonne de direction G solidaire d'une fourche 25 portant la roue avant 2.To allow a maximum length L (FIG. 1) to be given to the plate 19, the seat 24 of the driver P is pushed forward; this seat is directly fixed to the rising part of the master beam 5 near the geometric axis of rotation A of the steering column G secured to a fork 25 carrying the front wheel 2.
Plus précisément comme visible sur la figure 4, le socle du siège ou selle 24 est fixé en trois points sur une pièce 5ac constituant l'extrémité supérieure de la partie montante 5a dont elle est solidaire.More precisely as can be seen in FIG. 4, the base of the seat or saddle 24 is fixed at three points on a part 5ac constituting the upper end of the rising part 5a of which it is integral.
La pièce 5ac est une pièce moulée réalisée de façon analogue à la chapeThe part 5ac is a molded part produced in a similar way to the yoke
7. La colonne de direction G est montée pivotante dans cette pièce 5ac.7. The steering column G is pivotally mounted in this part 5ac.
Le siège 24 est situé plus près de l'axe X2 de la roue avant 2 que de l'axe X4 de la roue arrière 4. Cette position avancée du siège 24 permet de placer le bord avant 19a du plateau 19 bien en avant de l'axe X4 de la roue arrière, jusqu'au voisinage de la verticale V passant par le bord arrière du siège 24.The seat 24 is located closer to the axis X2 of the front wheel 2 than to the axis X4 of the rear wheel 4. This advanced position of the seat 24 makes it possible to place the front edge 19a of the plate 19 well in front of the 'axis X4 of the rear wheel, up to the vicinity of the vertical V passing through the rear edge of the seat 24.
Le guidon 3 est monté rotatif à l'extrémité d'une console 26 en saillie vers l'avant. L'axe géométrique de rotation Δ du guidon 3 coupe la figure 10 au point 27. L'axe Δ de rotation du guidon 3 est ainsi déporté vers l'avant relativement à l'axe A de la colonne de direction G ; on préfère que les axes A et Δ soient parallèles.The handlebar 3 is rotatably mounted at the end of a console 26 projecting forward. The geometric axis of rotation Δ of the handlebar 3 intersects FIG. 10 at point 27. The axis Δ of rotation of the handlebar 3 is thus offset forward relative to the axis A of the steering column G; it is preferred that the axes A and Δ are parallel.
Des moyens de transmission T sont prévus pour communiquer le mouvement de rotation du guidon 3 à la colonne de direction G et à la fourche 25. Ces moyens de transmission T comprennent deux tirants 28d, 28g parallèles articulés à leurs extrémités respectives sur le guidon 3 et sur une plaque 29 (souvent appelée : T de fourche) solidaire de la fourche et pouvant tourner autour de l'axe A. Un parallélogramme déformable ayant pour sommets les quatre points d'articulation des tirants 28d, 28g est ainsi formé et permet la transmission du mouvement de rotation du guidon 3 à la fourche 25. Le guidon 3 est monté sur un roulement à billes 30 prévu à l'extrémité de la console 26.Transmission means T are provided for communicating the rotational movement of the handlebar 3 to the steering column G and to the fork 25. These transmission means T comprise two parallel tie rods 28d, 28g articulated at their respective ends on the handlebar 3 and on a plate 29 (often called: fork T) integral with the fork and able to rotate about the axis A. A deformable parallelogram having the four points of articulation of the tie rods 28d, 28g is thus formed and allows the transmission the movement of rotation of the handlebar 3 to the fork 25. The handlebar 3 is mounted on a ball bearing 30 provided at the end of the console 26.
La poutre maîtresse 5 a une section creuse, par exemple rectangulaire, et son volume intérieur sert de réservoir de carburant 31. Le bouchon de réservoir 32 est prévu sur la face supérieure de la pièce 5aç, juste en avant de la pointe du siège, et un robinet d'essence 33 est prévu sur la face gauche de la pièce 5ac.The main beam 5 has a hollow section, for example rectangular, and its internal volume serves as a fuel tank 31. The tank cap 32 is provided on the upper face of the part 5a, just in front of the tip of the seat, and a fuel tap 33 is provided on the left side of the part 5ac.
La longueur L du plateau peut être de l'ordre de 1,2 mètre. La largeur W du plateau 19, comme visible sur la figure 5 est inférieure à la longueur L. Toutefois, il est possible de fixer sur le plateau 19, pour le transport de chargements volumineux, un conteneur 34 schématisé sur la figure 1 ayant une hauteur de l'ordre du mètre, notamment en raison de la position très basse du plateau 19 derrière le conducteur ; la largeur peut être également de l'ordre de 0,70 m, ce qui permet de disposer d'un conteneur d'environ 0,85 m3. Le volume du coffre 20 peut communiquer avec celui délimité par le conteneur 34 grâce à l'ouverture de la trappe 21. A la place du conteneur 34, on peut installer une cabine pour constituer un taxi-moto ou toute autre adaptation souhaitée.The length L of the plate can be of the order of 1.2 meters. The width W of the plate 19, as visible in FIG. 5 is less than the length L. However, it is possible to fix on the plate 19, for the transport of bulky loads, a container 34 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 having a height of the order of a meter, in particular due to the very low position of the plate 19 behind the conductor; the width can also be of the order of 0.70 m, which makes it possible to have a container of approximately 0.85 m 3 . The volume of the trunk 20 can communicate with that delimited by the container 34 thanks to the opening of the hatch 21. Instead of the container 34, a cabin can be installed to constitute a motorcycle taxi or any other desired adaptation.
On aperçoit sur la figure 1 une béquille 35 en position relevée. Comme visible sur la figure 6, un échappement avec silencieux 36 est disposé du côté droit arrière, le boîtier de filtre 37 étant disposé du côté gauche ; sur la figure 2, on voit un des deux radiateurs 38 associés au bloc moteur 8 et sur la figure 3, on voit la batterie 39 insérée dans un évidement ménagé dans la chape 7.We see in Figure 1 a stand 35 in position noted. As visible in FIG. 6, an exhaust with silencer 36 is arranged on the rear right side, the filter housing 37 being arranged on the left side; in FIG. 2, we see one of the two radiators 38 associated with the engine block 8 and in FIG. 3, we see the battery 39 inserted in a recess made in the yoke 7.
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite avec référence à un véhicule à moteur, elle peut s'appliquer à des véhicules à deux roues sans moteur en particulier aux bicyclettes. Although the invention has been described with reference to a motor vehicle, it can be applied to two-wheeled vehicles without a motor, in particular to bicycles.
