The smart key system includes an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) mounted on the vehicle body, a transmitter / receiver (antenna) connected to the ECU, and a smart key (radio device) carried by the driver. The smart key performs bidirectional communication with the ECU via the transceiver and performs ID authentication of the smart key. Once the smart key ID is authenticated, the engine can be started and each part of the vehicle can be unlocked.
　例えば、イグニッションスイッチ４１のオン操作は、スマートキーのＩＤ認証によって可能又は有効になる（解錠状態）。一方、スマートキーが送受信機（ＥＣＵ）から離れる等によりスマートキーとＥＣＵとの通信が無くなると不能又は無効になる（施錠状態）。例えば、スマートキーのＩＤ認証によって解錠、施錠がなされる装備には、ハンドルロック、シートの開閉、物品収納部及び給油口の開閉、等がある。例えば、スマートキーシステムは、各種装備の施錠及び解錠を行った際、ハザードランプを点滅させる等の視覚的な報知、及び電子音を鳴らす等の聴覚的な報知の少なくとも一方を実行する（アンサーバック）。 For example, the on operation of the ignition switch 41 is possible or enabled by ID authentication of the smart key (unlocked state). On the other hand, when the communication between the smart key and the ECU is lost due to the smart key moving away from the transceiver (ECU) or the like, it becomes impossible or invalid (locked state). For example, equipment that is unlocked and locked by ID authentication of a smart key includes a handle lock, opening / closing of a seat, opening / closing of an article storage unit and a fuel filler port, and the like. For example, when locking and unlocking various equipment, the smart key system executes at least one of visual notification such as blinking a hazard lamp and auditory notification such as sounding an electronic sound (answer). back).

Hereinafter, the direction along the rotation axis RL is referred to as "axial direction", the direction orthogonal to the axis direction is referred to as "diametrical direction", and the direction around the rotation axis RL is referred to as "circumferential direction". The ignition switch 41 has an axial length. The ignition switch 41 has a knob 41a that projects upward along the axial direction. The knob 41a is exposed upward along the axial direction so that the occupant can pinch it.
　イグニッションスイッチ４１は、エンジンを停止させるオフ位置、エンジンを駆動させるオン位置、及びハンドルをロックさせるロック位置の間で回転操作可能とされている。例えば、イグニッションスイッチ４１をオフ位置からオン位置に回転操作すると、エンジンを始動可能な状態となる。一方、イグニッションスイッチ４１をオン位置からオフ位置に回転操作すると、エンジンが停止した状態となる。 The ignition switch 41 can be rotated between an off position for stopping the engine, an on position for driving the engine, and a lock position for locking the steering wheel. For example, when the ignition switch 41 is rotated from the off position to the on position, the engine can be started. On the other hand, when the ignition switch 41 is rotated from the on position to the off position, the engine is stopped.
　ロック位置は、ハンドルのフル転舵位置である。フル転舵位置は、実質的にハンドルが左右いずれかに回転しきった位置である。実施形態のロック位置は、ハンドルの左側（サイドスタンド側）へのフル転舵位置である（図６参照）。なお、ロック位置を右側へのフル転舵位置とする場合もある。 The lock position is the full steering position of the steering wheel. The full steering position is a position where the steering wheel is substantially rotated to the left or right. The lock position of the embodiment is a full steering position to the left side (side stand side) of the steering wheel (see FIG. 6). In some cases, the lock position may be the full steering position to the right.
　図７に示すように、ロックピン４２は、イグニッションスイッチ４１がロック位置に回転操作された場合に突出してハンドルをロックする。ロックピン４２は、イグニッションスイッチ４１の回転操作によりヘッドパイプ２１に対して出没するようになっている。例えば、ハンドルを左側に所定角度回転させ、イグニッションスイッチ４１をオフ位置からロック位置まで回転操作すると、ロックピン４２が突出してヘッドパイプ２１の係合凹部２１ａに係合する（図７に示す二点鎖線のロックピン４２）。これにより、ハンドル及びトップブリッジ３０を含む前輪操舵系のヘッドパイプ２１に対する回転が規制されるようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 7, the lock pin 42 protrudes to lock the handle when the ignition switch 41 is rotated to the lock position. The lock pin 42 appears and disappears with respect to the head pipe 21 by the rotation operation of the ignition switch 41. For example, when the handle is rotated to the left by a predetermined angle and the ignition switch 41 is rotated from the off position to the lock position, the lock pin 42 protrudes and engages with the engagement recess 21a of the head pipe 21 (two points shown in FIG. 7). Chain wire lock pin 42). As a result, the rotation of the front wheel steering system including the steering wheel and the top bridge 30 with respect to the head pipe 21 is restricted.
　規制装置４３は、イグニッションスイッチ４１の回転操作を規制する。規制装置４３は、スマートキーのＩＤ認証がなされた場合にイグニッションスイッチ４１の回転操作の規制を解除する。例えば、規制装置４３は、通電により変位可能な作動子を有するソレノイドを備える。例えば、イグニッションスイッチ４１にはソレノイドの作動子が係止されることにより、イグニッションスイッチ４１の回転操作が規制されている。そして、スマートキーのＩＤ認証がなされた場合には、ソレノイドの作動子に通電され、上記の係止が解かれることにより、イグニッションスイッチ４１の回転操作が可能とされる。 The regulating device 43 regulates the rotation operation of the ignition switch 41. The regulation device 43 releases the restriction on the rotation operation of the ignition switch 41 when the smart key ID authentication is performed. For example, the regulating device 43 includes a solenoid having an actuator that can be displaced by energization. For example, the ignition switch 41 is locked to the actuator of the solenoid, so that the rotation operation of the ignition switch 41 is restricted. Then, when the ID authentication of the smart key is performed, the actuator of the solenoid is energized and the above-mentioned locking is released, so that the ignition switch 41 can be rotated.
＜保護部＞
　保護部３４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０のイグニッションスイッチ４１の外周を囲む。保護部３４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０の外周の全部を覆う閉じ形状を有する。保護部３４は、イグニッションスイッチ４１を軸方向（上下方向）に挿入可能な開口３５を有する。保護部３４は、開口３５にイグニッションスイッチ４１が挿入された状態において、イグニッションスイッチ４１の外周に沿う周壁３６を備える。周壁３６は、イグニッションスイッチ４１の外周全部にわたって連続して設けられている。 <Protection unit>

The protection portion 34 has a closed shape that covers the entire outer circumference of the handle lock module 40. The protection unit 34 has an opening 35 into which the ignition switch 41 can be inserted in the axial direction (vertical direction). The protection unit 34 includes a peripheral wall 36 along the outer periphery of the ignition switch 41 in a state where the ignition switch 41 is inserted into the opening 35. The peripheral wall 36 is continuously provided over the entire outer circumference of the ignition switch 41.

＜第二実施形態＞
　第一実施形態では、キャップ５０が発光部を有しない例を挙げて説明したが、これに限らない。図８に示すように、第二実施形態は、キャップ２５０の態様が上述した第一実施形態と相違している。なお、以下の説明においては、上述した第一実施形態と同様の構成については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 <Second embodiment>
In the first embodiment, an example in which the cap 50 does not have a light emitting portion has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 8, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment described above in the aspect of the cap 250. In the following description, the same reference numerals will be given to the same configurations as those of the first embodiment described above, and the description thereof will be omitted.
　第二実施形態のキャップ２５０は、発光部２５５を備える。ハンドルロックモジュール４０は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０のロックを解除する基板２５６を有する防盗ユニット２５４を備える。発光部２５５には、車体側のバッテリ（電源）から延びる配線束２６０から分岐した配線２６１，２６２の一方（以下「第一配線２６１」ともいう。）が接続されている。基板２５６には、配線束２６０から分岐した配線２６１，２６２の他方（以下「第二配線２６２」ともいう。）が接続されている。発光部２５５及び基板２５６は、それぞれ配線２６１，２６２を介してバッテリと電気的に接続されている。 The cap 250 of the second embodiment includes a light emitting unit 255. The handle lock module 40 includes an anti-theft unit 254 having a substrate 256 that unlocks the handle lock module 40. One of the wirings 261,262 (hereinafter, also referred to as "first wiring 261") branched from the wiring bundle 260 extending from the battery (power supply) on the vehicle body side is connected to the light emitting unit 255. The other of the wirings 261 and 262 branched from the wiring bundle 260 (hereinafter, also referred to as “second wiring 262”) is connected to the substrate 256. The light emitting unit 255 and the substrate 256 are electrically connected to the battery via wirings 261,262, respectively.
　図１０に示すように、キャップ２５０及び防盗ユニット２５４は、軸方向に沿う上面視で互いに重なる。発光部２５５及び基板２５６は、軸方向に沿う上面視で互いに重なる。発光部２５５及び基板２５６は、軸方向に沿う上面視で、ハンドルロックモジュール４０のハウジング４４と重なる。なお、発光部等は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０には設けられていない。 As shown in FIG. 10, the cap 250 and the anti-theft unit 254 overlap each other in the top view along the axial direction. The light emitting unit 255 and the substrate 256 overlap each other in a top view along the axial direction. The light emitting portion 255 and the substrate 256 overlap with the housing 44 of the handle lock module 40 in a top view along the axial direction. The light emitting portion and the like are not provided in the handle lock module 40.
　例えば、基板２５６は、ＰＣＢ（Printed Circuit Board）等の電子回路基板を含む。例えば、基板２５６は、スマートキーと双方向通信を行い、スマートキーのＩＤ認証を行う。スマートキーのＩＤ認証がなされると、エンジン始動及び車両各部の解錠が可能となる。 For example, the substrate 256 includes an electronic circuit board such as a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). For example, the board 256 performs bidirectional communication with the smart key and performs ID authentication of the smart key. Once the smart key ID is authenticated, the engine can be started and each part of the vehicle can be unlocked.
　例えば、発光部２５５は、ＬＥＤ（Light Emitting Diode）等の発光素子を含む。例えば、発光部２５５は、スマートキーシステムにより各種装備の施錠及び解錠が行われた際、点滅又は点灯する等の視覚的な報知を実行する（アンサーバック）。 For example, the light emitting unit 255 includes a light emitting element such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode). For example, the light emitting unit 255 executes visual notification such as blinking or lighting when various equipments are locked and unlocked by the smart key system (answerback).
　図９に示すように、キャップ２５０は、環状部５１の前部から軸方向に沿う下方へ延びる延出部２５３を備える。環状部５１、延出部２５３及び左右一対の膨出部５２は、同一の部材で一体に形成されている。図１０に示すように、延出部２５３は、軸方向に沿う上面視で、ハンドルロックモジュール４０のハウジング４４と重なる。延出部２５３は、発光部２５５を内蔵している（図８参照）。 As shown in FIG. 9, the cap 250 includes an extending portion 253 extending downward along the axial direction from the front portion of the annular portion 51. The annular portion 51, the extending portion 253, and the pair of left and right bulging portions 52 are integrally formed of the same member. As shown in FIG. 10, the extension portion 253 overlaps with the housing 44 of the handle lock module 40 in a top view along the axial direction. The extending portion 253 has a built-in light emitting portion 255 (see FIG. 8).
　図８に示すように、発光部２５５は、キャップ２５０に内蔵されている。第一配線２６１は、キャップ２５０の内側（延出部２５３とハウジング４４との間）を通って発光部２５５に下方から接続されている。防盗ユニット２５４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０に内蔵されている。第二配線２６２は、ハウジング４４に設けられた不図示の貫通孔を通って防盗ユニット２５４の基板２５６に下方から接続されている。 As shown in FIG. 8, the light emitting unit 255 is built in the cap 250. The first wiring 261 is connected to the light emitting portion 255 from below through the inside of the cap 250 (between the extending portion 253 and the housing 44). The anti-theft unit 254 is built in the handle lock module 40. The second wiring 262 is connected from below to the substrate 256 of the anti-theft unit 254 through a through hole (not shown) provided in the housing 44.
　なお、本実施形態では、防盗ユニット２５４がハンドルロックモジュール４０に内蔵されている例を挙げて説明したが、これに限らない。例えば、防盗ユニット２５４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０に内蔵されていなくてもよい。例えば、防盗ユニット２５４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０の外部に取り付けられていてもよい。例えば、防盗ユニット２５４の配置態様は、要求仕様に応じて変更することができる。 In the present embodiment, an example in which the anti-theft unit 254 is built in the handle lock module 40 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the anti-theft unit 254 does not have to be built in the handle lock module 40. For example, the anti-theft unit 254 may be attached to the outside of the handle lock module 40. For example, the arrangement mode of the anti-theft unit 254 can be changed according to the required specifications.
　なお、配線２６１，２６２の配置は図８の例に限らない。例えば、図１１に示すように、第一配線２６１は、発光部２５５と共にキャップ２５０に内蔵されていてもよい。第二配線２６２は、防盗ユニット２５４と共にハンドルロックモジュール４０に内蔵されていてもよい。つまり、第二配線２６２及び基板２５６は、ハウジング４４内に設けられていてもよい。例えば、トップブリッジ３０に対してハンドルロックモジュール４０及びキャップ２５０を固定した状態においては、第一配線２６１の端部（発光部２５５とは反対側の端部）及び第二配線２６２の端部（基板２５６とは反対側の部分）は、それぞれ不図示の端子等を介してバッテリから延びる配線に電気的に接続されてもよい。 The arrangement of the wirings 261,262 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the first wiring 261 may be built in the cap 250 together with the light emitting unit 255. The second wiring 262 may be built in the handle lock module 40 together with the anti-theft unit 254. That is, the second wiring 262 and the substrate 256 may be provided in the housing 44. For example, when the handle lock module 40 and the cap 250 are fixed to the top bridge 30, the end of the first wiring 261 (the end opposite to the light emitting portion 255) and the end of the second wiring 262 (the end opposite to the light emitting portion 255). The portion on the opposite side of the substrate 256) may be electrically connected to a wiring extending from the battery via a terminal (not shown) or the like.
　なお、発光部２５５の配置は図８の例に限らない。例えば、図１２に示すように、左右一対の発光部２５５Ａ，２５５Ｂがキャップ２５０に内蔵されていてもよい。例えば、左右一対の発光部２５５Ａ，２５５Ｂは、軸方向に沿う上面視で基板２５６と重なっていなくてもよい。左右一対の発光部２５５Ａ，２５５Ｂに接続された配線２６１Ａ，２６１Ｂは、キャップ２５０から引き出された後、ハンドルロックモジュール４０のハウジング４４の左右に振り分けられてもよい。左右一対の発光部２５５Ａ，２５５Ｂは、軸方向に沿う上面視で基板２５６を挟む位置に配置されるとよい。この場合、各発光部２５５Ａ，２５５Ｂに接続された配線２６１Ａ，２６１Ｂの引き出し場所が、ハンドルロックモジュール４０のハウジング４４を避けやすいため、配線２６１Ａ，２６１Ｂを好適に配置しやすい。 The arrangement of the light emitting unit 255 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, a pair of left and right light emitting portions 255A and 255B may be built in the cap 250. For example, the pair of left and right light emitting portions 255A and 255B do not have to overlap with the substrate 256 in the top view along the axial direction. The wirings 261A and 261B connected to the pair of left and right light emitting portions 255A and 255B may be distributed to the left and right of the housing 44 of the handle lock module 40 after being pulled out from the cap 250. The pair of left and right light emitting portions 255A and 255B may be arranged at positions sandwiching the substrate 256 in a top view along the axial direction. In this case, the wirings 261A and 261B connected to the light emitting units 255A and 255B can be easily arranged so that the wirings 261A and 261B can easily avoid the housing 44 of the handle lock module 40.
＜作用効果＞
　第二実施形態では、ハンドルロックモジュール４０は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０のロックを解除する基板２５６を有する防盗ユニット２５４を備え、キャップ２５０は、発光部２５５を備え、発光部２５５及び基板２５６には、それぞれ配線２６１，２６２が接続され、キャップ２５０及び防盗ユニット２５４は、上面視で互いに重なることで、以下の効果を奏する。
　キャップ２５０及び防盗ユニット２５４が上面視で互いに離れる場合と比較して、発光部２５５及び基板２５６が互いに近づくため、配線２６１，２６２を効率的に配置しやすい。加えて、発光部２５５をハンドルロックモジュール４０には設けず、キャップ２５０に設けた場合には、ハンドルロックモジュール４０を小型化することができる。 <Action effect>
In the second embodiment, the handle lock module 40 includes an anti-theft unit 254 having a substrate 256 that unlocks the handle lock module 40, the cap 250 includes a light emitting unit 255, and the light emitting unit 255 and the substrate 256 have a light emitting unit 255 and a substrate 256. Wiring 261,262 are connected to each other, and the cap 250 and the anti-theft unit 254 overlap each other in a top view to achieve the following effects.
Since the light emitting unit 255 and the substrate 256 are closer to each other as compared with the case where the cap 250 and the anti-theft unit 254 are separated from each other in the top view, it is easy to efficiently arrange the wirings 261,262. In addition, when the light emitting portion 255 is not provided in the handle lock module 40 but is provided in the cap 250, the handle lock module 40 can be miniaturized.
＜変形例＞
　なお、上記実施形態では、保護部がハンドルロックモジュールの外周を全体的に囲む例を挙げて説明したが、これに限らない。例えば、保護部がハンドルロックモジュールの外周を部分的に囲んでもよい。例えば、図１３に示すように、保護部１３４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０（図５参照）の外周の一部を覆う切り欠き形状を有してもよい。保護部１３４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０を挿入可能な切り欠き１３５を有してもよい。保護部１３４は、切り欠き１３５の最大幅Ｗｍａｘよりも小さい間隔Ｗｎを置いて対向する一対の先端１３７を備えてもよい。
　すなわち、保護部は、以下の（Ａ）または（Ｂ）のいずれかを満たしていればよい。
　（Ａ）保護部３４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０の外周を覆う閉じ形状を有する（図３参照）。
　（Ｂ）保護部１３４は、ハンドルロックモジュール４０の外周の一部を覆う切り欠き形状を有し、かつ、ハンドルロックモジュール４０を挿入可能な切り欠き１３５の最大幅Ｗｍａｘよりも小さい間隔Ｗｎを置いて対向する一対の先端１３７を備える（図１３参照）。
　この構成によれば、保護部が上記の（Ａ）または（Ｂ）のいずれかを満たしてハンドルロックモジュールの外周を覆うことで、一対の先端が切り欠きの最大幅以上の間隔を置いて対向する場合と比較して、ハンドルロックモジュールを径方向外方からの外乱に強くすることができる。したがって、ハンドルロックモジュールを外乱に強くすることができる。
　また、ハンドルロックモジュールを外乱に更に強くするためには、間隔Ｗｎよりも大きい保護部により覆われるハンドルロックモジュールの外径とすることがより好ましい。 <Modification example>
In the above embodiment, the example in which the protective portion surrounds the outer periphery of the handle lock module as a whole has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the protection may partially surround the outer circumference of the handle lock module. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the protection unit 134 may have a notch shape that covers a part of the outer circumference of the handle lock module 40 (see FIG. 5). The protection unit 134 may have a notch 135 into which the handle lock module 40 can be inserted. The protection portion 134 may include a pair of tips 137 facing each other at intervals Wn smaller than the maximum width Wmax of the notch 135.
