Description
TITLE: ARRANGEMENT OF FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY
CHARCOAL CANISTER OF MOTORCYCLE
(a) Teclilhical Field of the hwention
The present invention relates generally to an arrangement of a fuel vapor recovery charcoal canister of a motorcycle, and more particular to an arrangement of a fuel vapor recovery charcoal canister of a motorcycle that helps sirnpht3' a complicated process required for individually installing a charcoal canister on a motorcycle and prevents a high temperature generated by an engine unit from affecting the functionality of the charcoal canister thereby improve the operation perfhrmance of the motorcycle.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
As shown in FIG. 1, a straddling motorcycle I comprises a steering rnechamsm 11 behind which a fuel tank 12 is arranged and an engine unit 13 that is arranged below the fuel tank 12 for generating power.
The fuel tank 12 provides storage of thel for combustion inside the engine unit 13. When the fuel tank 12 is short of fuel, a rider rides the motorcycle Ito a gas station for re-filling of fuel. Fuel is tilled through a fuel filling opening 121 fonned in the fuel tank 12 into the fuel tank 12. However in re-fueling the motorcycle 1, it is often difficult to precisely introduce fuel into the fuel tank 12 to a desired level and over-filling may occur. In other words, the fuel is filled to a level exceeding the maxirnun capacity of the fuel tank 12 so that a fraction of the fuel filled spills outside the fuel tank 12.
To prevent fuel spillover of a motor cycle 1 from causing risks, an overflow mechanism (not shown) may be provided around the fuel filling opening 121 of the fuel tank 12 of the motorcycle 1 so that the overflow mechanism helps collect the spillover of fuel that spills outside the fuel tank 12 and conducts the fuel spiliover to an active carbon based fuel vapor recoveiy charcoal canister 14, whereby the fuel spilling outside the fuel tank 12 can be treated with the charcoal canister 14 before being discharged.
Referring to FIG. I again, a conventional charcoal canister 14 for treating fuel spilling outside the fuel tank 12 is generally arranged below the fuel tank 12 and above the engine unit 13. Such an arrangement apparently sets tile charcoal canister 14 at a location that is subjected to the highest temperature of the engine unit 13 so that the performance of the charcoal canister 14 for treating the fuel is affected by the high temperature. In addition, risks may occur due to the charcoal canister 14 being located in a high temperature site.
Further, to accomnodate the charcoal canister 14, the straddling motorcycle 1 need to preserve a space for the accommodation of the charcoal canister 14.
This causes additional difficult of installing other parts of the straddling motorcycle 1 (such as electronic parts and parts of a water cooling system).
Further, tile charcoal canister 14 is separately and individually mounted to the straddling motorcycle 1, so that the charcoal canister 14 can be instailed only when a straddling motorcycie 1 is being assembied. The charcoal canister 14 comprises a number of hnes that must be connected and this would causes difficult in assembling the straddling motorcycle 1.
Thus, it is a challenge of the motorcycle industry to provide an improved anangernent of a fuel vapor recovery active charcoal canister in order to provide the fuei vapor recovery active charcoal canister with an enviromnent that is not affected by a high temperature and to reduce the interference with installation of other parts and also for easy assembly with a motorcycle.
