鞍乗り型車両Saddle-riding vehicle
　本発明は、鞍乗り型車両に関する。
　本願は、２０２０年１月２３日に、日本に出願された特願２０２０－００９３８３号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。 The present invention relates to a saddle-riding vehicle.
The present application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-09383 filed in Japan on January 23, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
　例えば特許文献１には、車体下面を覆うアンダーカバーを備えた鞍乗り型車両が開示されている。アンダーカバーの前部の上方には、ラジエータが配置されている。アンダーカバーの車幅方向内側には、ラジエータからの排風を案内する導風部が上方に向けて凹設されている。導風部は、アンダーカバーの前部から後端部に渡って延びている。導風部は、カバー下面に対して上方に変位した底面を有している。アンダーカバーの後端部には、導風部の底面よりも下方に突出する中央突出部（垂下部１８ｇ）が形成されている。この中央突出部により、導風部内に浸入した雨水等がアンダーカバーの後端部で滴下または飛散しやすく、アンダーカバーの水切り性が向上する。 For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a saddle-riding vehicle provided with an undercover that covers the lower surface of the vehicle body. A radiator is located above the front of the undercover. Inside the undercover in the vehicle width direction, a wind guide portion that guides the exhaust air from the radiator is recessed upward. The wind guide extends from the front to the rear end of the undercover. The wind guide portion has a bottom surface displaced upward with respect to the lower surface of the cover. At the rear end of the undercover, a central protrusion (18 g of hanging portion) is formed so as to project downward from the bottom surface of the wind guide. Due to this central protrusion, rainwater or the like that has entered the wind guide portion is likely to drip or scatter at the rear end portion of the undercover, and the drainage property of the undercover is improved.

　ところで、鞍乗り型車両において、特にスクータ型車両の場合、車体後部の車幅方向外側に、原動機に係る車両部品（例えばマフラーやエアクリーナ等）が配置されることがある。この場合、アンダーカバーの後端部の車幅方向内側に中央突出部を設けるのみでは、中央突出部の車幅方向外側に回り込んだ水が前記車両部品に掛かりやすくなるという課題がある。 By the way, in saddle-riding type vehicles, especially in the case of scooter type vehicles, vehicle parts related to the prime mover (for example, muffler, air cleaner, etc.) may be arranged outside the rear part of the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction. In this case, there is a problem that the water that has spilled to the outside of the central protrusion in the vehicle width direction is likely to be applied to the vehicle parts only by providing the central protrusion on the inside of the rear end of the undercover in the vehicle width direction.
　本発明は上記課題を解決するためになされたものである。本発明は、車体下面を覆うアンダーカバーの後端部における水切り性を確保するとともに、車幅方向外側に配置された車両部品への水掛かりを抑えることができる鞍乗り型車両を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. The present invention provides a saddle-riding vehicle capable of ensuring drainage at the rear end of an undercover covering the lower surface of the vehicle body and suppressing water splashing on vehicle parts arranged on the outside in the vehicle width direction. The purpose.
　本発明の第一の態様は、車体下面を覆うアンダーカバー（４０）を備えた鞍乗り型車両（１）において、前記アンダーカバー（４０）の車幅方向内側の第一範囲（Ｈ１）には、下方に突出する中央突出部（５３）を備え、前記第一範囲（Ｈ１）よりも車幅方向外側の第二範囲（Ｈ２）には、下方に突出する突出部であり、前記中央突出部（５３）の車幅方向外側に連なって車幅方向外側に延びる外側延出部（５４，５５）を備え、前記外側延出部（５４，５５）の外側部は、前記中央突出部（５３）に対して車両前後方向の位置を変化させて設けられる。 According to the first aspect of the present invention, in a saddle-riding vehicle (1) provided with an undercover (40) covering the lower surface of the vehicle body, the first range (H1) inside the undercover (40) in the vehicle width direction is set. A central projecting portion (53) projecting downward is provided, and a second range (H2) outside the vehicle width direction from the first range (H1) is a projecting portion projecting downward, and the central projecting portion. (53) is provided with an outer extending portion (54,55) that is continuous with the outer side in the vehicle width direction and extends outward in the vehicle width direction, and the outer portion of the outer extending portion (54,55) is the central protruding portion (53). ) Is provided by changing the position in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
　この構成によれば、アンダーカバーの車幅方向内側の第一範囲では、アンダーカバーの下面を流れる水をカバー後部の中央突出部によって滴下または飛散させる。中央突出部の車幅方向外側に回り込んだ水は、中央突出部の車幅方向外側に連なる外側延出部によって滴下または飛散させる。外側延出部は、中央突出部に対して車両前後方向の位置を変化させる外側部を有するので、以下の効果を奏する。すなわち、中央突出部は、車幅方向内側の水切り位置を規定する。外側延出部は、中央突出部の前後方向位置とは独立して、水を滴下または飛散させる位置を設定する。このため、アンダーカバーの後端部における水切り性を確保するとともに、車幅方向外側に配置された車両部品への水掛かりを抑えることができる。 According to this configuration, in the first range inside the undercover in the vehicle width direction, water flowing on the lower surface of the undercover is dropped or scattered by the central protrusion at the rear of the cover. The water that wraps around the central protrusion on the outside in the vehicle width direction is dropped or scattered by the outer extension portion that is continuous on the outside in the vehicle width direction of the central protrusion. Since the outer extending portion has an outer portion that changes the position of the vehicle in the front-rear direction with respect to the central protruding portion, the following effects are obtained. That is, the central protrusion defines the draining position inside in the vehicle width direction. The outer extending portion sets a position where water is dropped or scattered independently of the position in the front-rear direction of the central protruding portion. Therefore, it is possible to secure the drainage property at the rear end portion of the undercover and suppress the water splashing on the vehicle parts arranged on the outer side in the vehicle width direction.
　本発明の第二の態様は、上記第一の態様において、前記外側延出部（５４，５５）は、前記中央突出部（５３）に対して車幅方向両側に設けられている。
　この構成によれば、外側延出部を車幅方向両側（左右両側）に設けることにより、以下の効果を奏する。すなわち、車幅方向外側に配置された互いに異なる車両部品に対して、それぞれ適した位置で水を滴下または飛散させることが可能となる。このため、車幅方向外側に配置された車両部品への水掛かりをより一層抑えることができる。 In the second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the outer extending portions (54, 55) are provided on both sides in the vehicle width direction with respect to the central protruding portion (53).

The ridge 84 has, for example, a U-shaped cross-sectional shape that opens upward and extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. A plurality of ridges 84 are provided at intervals in the vehicle width direction. The space between the adjacent ridges 84 may be regarded as a groove portion along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
　例えばラジエータ４１の後面側でダクト部５２前端の開口６１内には、ファン４４が配置されている。ファン４４は、ラジエータ４１の後面の法線方向に沿う回転中心軸線を有している。第一範囲Ｈ１および導風部５６は、ラジエータ４１のファン４４の外径Ｄ１よりも車幅方向で幅広に設けられている。これにより、導風部５６がファン４４からの排風を案内しやすくなる。ファン４４は、ラジエータ４１の前面側に配置されてもよい。導風部５６は、アンダーカバー４０の前部から後端部に渡って形成されている。アンダーカバー４０は、第一範囲Ｈ１の後部において、カバー下面部５７に対して上方に凹んだ導風部５６を形成してもよい。 For example, a fan 44 is arranged in the opening 61 at the front end of the duct portion 52 on the rear surface side of the radiator 41. The fan 44 has a rotation center axis along the normal direction of the rear surface of the radiator 41. The first range H1 and the air guide portion 56 are provided wider in the vehicle width direction than the outer diameter D1 of the fan 44 of the radiator 41. This makes it easier for the air guide portion 56 to guide the exhaust air from the fan 44. The fan 44 may be arranged on the front side of the radiator 41. The wind guide portion 56 is formed from the front portion to the rear end portion of the undercover 40. The undercover 40 may form a wind guide portion 56 recessed upward with respect to the cover lower surface portion 57 at the rear portion of the first range H1.
　アンダーカバー４０は、第一範囲Ｈ１の後端部において、下方に突出する中央突出部５３を備えている。中央突出部５３は、第一範囲Ｈ１の下面側（導風部５６）を流れる水を、カバー後端部において滴下または飛散させるよう作用する。中央突出部５３は、前上がりに傾斜する前傾斜部５３ａと、後上がりに傾斜する後傾斜部５３ｂと、を有している。中央突出部５３は、Ｖ字状の断面形状を有して車幅方向に延びている。図中符号７２は中央突出部５３の突出稜線部（前後傾斜部５３ａ，５３ｂ間の稜線部、車両前方に臨む端縁部）を示す。第一範囲Ｈ１の下面側を流れる水は、中央突出部５３の突出稜線部７２に至り、突出稜線部７２から後下方へ滴下または飛散する。 The undercover 40 includes a central protrusion 53 that protrudes downward at the rear end of the first range H1. The central protrusion 53 acts to drip or scatter water flowing on the lower surface side (air guide portion 56) of the first range H1 at the rear end portion of the cover. The central projecting portion 53 has a front inclined portion 53a that inclines forward and a rear inclined portion 53b that inclines backward. The central protrusion 53 has a V-shaped cross-sectional shape and extends in the vehicle width direction. Reference numeral 72 in the figure indicates a protruding ridgeline portion of the central protruding portion 53 (the ridgeline portion between the front-rear inclined portions 53a and 53b, the edge portion facing the front of the vehicle). The water flowing on the lower surface side of the first range H1 reaches the protruding ridge line portion 72 of the central protruding portion 53, and drops or scatters from the protruding ridge line portion 72 backward and downward.
　中央突出部５３は、ラジエータ４１のファン４４の外径Ｄ１よりも車幅方向で幅広に設けられている。これにより、中央突出部５３がファン４４からの排風に伴う水の流れを受け止めやすくなる。中央突出部には、複数の突条８４の後端が突き当たって接続されている。これにより、中央突出部５３までの風の流れを整流して中央突出部５３の作用を高めている。 The central protrusion 53 is provided wider in the vehicle width direction than the outer diameter D1 of the fan 44 of the radiator 41. As a result, the central protrusion 53 can easily receive the flow of water accompanying the exhaust air from the fan 44. The rear ends of the plurality of ridges 84 are abutted and connected to the central protrusion. As a result, the flow of wind up to the central protrusion 53 is rectified to enhance the action of the central protrusion 53.
　アンダーカバー４０において、第一範囲Ｈ１よりも車幅方向外側（左右両側）の第二範囲Ｈ２には、それぞれ中央突出部５３の車幅方向外側に連なって車幅方向外側に延びる左右の外側延出部５４，５５を備えている。外側延出部５４，５５は、それぞれカバー下面部５７の下方に突出するリブ状の突出部であり、中央突出部５３の車幅方向外側に回り込んだ水を滴下または飛散させるよう作用する。外側延出部５４，５５は、ラジエータ４１のファン４４の外径Ｄ１よりも車幅方向外側に位置している。これにより、外側延出部５４，５５の周辺ではファン４４からの排風の影響を受け難くなり、水の滴下または飛散をコントロールしやすくなる。 In the undercover 40, in the second range H2 outside the vehicle width direction (both left and right sides) with respect to the first range H1, the left and right lateral extensions extending outward in the vehicle width direction connected to the outside in the vehicle width direction of the central protrusion 53, respectively. It has protrusions 54 and 55. The outer extending portions 54 and 55 are rib-shaped protruding portions that project downward from the lower surface portion 57 of the cover, respectively, and act to drip or scatter the water that has spilled to the outside of the central protruding portion 53 in the vehicle width direction. The outer extending portions 54 and 55 are located outside the outer diameter D1 of the fan 44 of the radiator 41 in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the area around the outer extending portions 54 and 55 is less likely to be affected by the exhaust air from the fan 44, and it becomes easier to control the dropping or scattering of water.
　アンダーカバー４０は、第一範囲Ｈ１の後端部よりも後方へ延びる左右延長部５８，５９を備えている。アンダーカバー４０におけるカバー下面部５７よりも車幅方向外側の左右側部５７ｂ，５７ｃは、それぞれ左右外側ほど上側に位置するように傾斜して立ち上がっている。左右側部５７ｂ，５７ｃは、それぞれ左右延長部５８，５９を含むカバー前後端に渡る範囲に設けられている。 The undercover 40 includes left and right extension portions 58 and 59 extending rearward from the rear end portion of the first range H1.
