Both ends in the vehicle width direction of the center cover 91 rising upward from the rear part of the vehicle width direction center of the lower cover 88 are connected to the pair of left and right lower side covers 89, and the upper portion of the center cover 91 is Fastened to the side cover 78 so as to be continuous with the rear portion of the lower cover 81.
前記燃料タンク13の下方には、側面視で前記ダウンフレーム16、前記下部カバー88、前記センターカバー91、前記ロアカバー81で囲まれるようにした空間92が形成されることになる。
A space 92 is formed below the fuel tank 13 so as to be surrounded by the down frame 16, the lower cover 88, the center cover 91, and the lower cover 81 in a side view.
次にこの実施の形態の作用について説明すると、燃料タンク13および乗車用シート14を支持する支持フレーム19が、前記燃料タンク13を支持する第1および第2のタンク支持部35,36と、前記乗車用シート14を支持するようにして第1および第2のタンク支持部35,36よりも下方に配置されるシート支持部37と、前記ダウンフレーム16に接続される前側接続部33と、左右一対のリヤフレーム18間に設けられる第2のクロスフレーム42に接続される後側接続部34とを有し、前記前側接続部33および前記後側接続部34が第1および第2のタンク支持部35,36よりも下方に配置されるので、支持フレーム19で燃料タンク13および乗車用シート14を支持するようにした上で、燃料タンク13を高い位置で支持するようにして燃料タンク13の下方の空間92の容積を確保しながら、乗車用シート14の高さを抑えることができる。しかも前記シート支持部37が第1および第2のタンク支持部35,36よりも下方に設けられるので、前記燃料タンク13を高い位置で支持する場合であってもシート高が高くなるのを抑制することができる。
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The support frame 19 that supports the fuel tank 13 and the riding seat 14 includes first and second tank support portions 35 and 36 that support the fuel tank 13, and A seat support portion 37 disposed below the first and second tank support portions 35, 36 so as to support the riding seat 14, a front connection portion 33 connected to the down frame 16, and left and right And a rear connection part 34 connected to a second cross frame 42 provided between the pair of rear frames 18. The front connection part 33 and the rear connection part 34 support the first and second tanks. Since the fuel tank 13 and the passenger seat 14 are supported by the support frame 19, the fuel tank 13 is positioned higher than the portions 35 and 36. In so as to support while securing the volume of the space 92 below the fuel tank 13, it is possible to suppress the height of the rider's seat 14. In addition, since the seat support portion 37 is provided below the first and second tank support portions 35 and 36, it is possible to suppress an increase in seat height even when the fuel tank 13 is supported at a high position. can do.
また前記シート支持部37は、第1および第2のタンク支持部35,36よりも後方に配置され、前記後側接続部34が、前記前側接続部33よりも低い位置で前記第2のクロスフレーム42に接続されるので、支持フレーム19のうち低い位置にシート支持部37を容易に設けることができ、乗車用シート14の高さが高くなるのを抑制することができる。
The seat support portion 37 is disposed rearward of the first and second tank support portions 35 and 36, and the rear connection portion 34 is positioned lower than the front connection portion 33 and the second cross Since it is connected to the frame 42, the seat support portion 37 can be easily provided at a lower position in the support frame 19, and an increase in the height of the riding seat 14 can be suppressed.
また前記支持フレーム19が、後上方に向けて膨らむように屈曲して第1および第2のタンク支持部35,36よりも後方に配置される第2の屈曲部31と、第2の屈曲部31から下方に延びる後側下方延出部32とを有し、前記シート支持部37が前記後側下方延出部32に設けられるので、シート支持部37を低い位置に一層容易に設けることができるようにして、乗車用シート14の高さが高くなるのをより効果的に抑制することができる。
In addition, the support frame 19 is bent so as to swell toward the rear upper side, and a second bent portion 31 disposed behind the first and second tank support portions 35 and 36, and a second bent portion Since the sheet support portion 37 is provided on the rear lower extension portion 32, the sheet support portion 37 can be more easily provided at a lower position. As a result, it is possible to more effectively suppress the height of the riding seat 14 from increasing.
また前記燃料タンク13の底部のうち最下部13bの下面が、前記前側接続部33および前記後側接続部34よりも上方に配置されるので、燃料タンク13の下方の前記空間92の容積を大きく確保することができる。
Further, the lower surface of the lowermost part 13b of the bottom of the fuel tank 13 is disposed above the front connection part 33 and the rear connection part 34, so that the volume of the space 92 below the fuel tank 13 is increased. Can be secured.
第1および第2のタンク支持部35,36に、前記燃料タンク13が備えるフランジ部13aを載置する第1および第2のタンク載置面49,50が形成され、第1および第2のタンク載置面49,50がヘッドパイプ15の上端15aよりも上方に配置されるので、燃料タンク13を高い位置で支持するようにして、燃料タンク13の下方の前記空間92の容積をより大きく確保することができる。
The first and second tank support portions 35 and 36 are formed with first and second tank mounting surfaces 49 and 50 for mounting the flange portion 13a included in the fuel tank 13, respectively. Since the tank mounting surfaces 49 and 50 are disposed above the upper end 15a of the head pipe 15, the volume of the space 92 below the fuel tank 13 is increased by supporting the fuel tank 13 at a high position. Can be secured.
また第1および第2のタンク載置面49,50が、乗車用シート14の上面の着座面58の最下端58aよりも側面視で上方に配置されるので、燃料タンク13を高い位置で支持するようにして、燃料タンク13の下方の空間92の容積をより大きく確保することができる。
Further, since the first and second tank placement surfaces 49 and 50 are disposed above the lowest end 58a of the seating surface 58 on the upper surface of the riding seat 14, the fuel tank 13 is supported at a high position. As a result, a larger volume of the space 92 below the fuel tank 13 can be secured.
また左右一対の支持フレーム19が、それらの支持フレーム19間の車幅方向最大幅W1を左右一対の前記リヤフレーム18間の車幅方向最大幅W2よりも狭くしつつ、前記燃料タンク13を車幅方向両側から挟むように配置されるので、燃料タンク13を左右の支持フレーム19で保護しつつ、乗員の跨ぎ性を良好として、足付き性を高めることができる。
Further, the pair of left and right support frames 19 make the fuel tank 13 in the vehicle while making the vehicle width direction maximum width W1 between the support frames 19 smaller than the vehicle width direction maximum width W2 between the pair of left and right rear frames 18. Since the fuel tanks 13 are arranged so as to be sandwiched from both sides in the width direction, the occupant's straddling property can be improved while the fuel tank 13 is protected by the left and right support frames 19, and the footing property can be enhanced.
また左右一対の支持フレーム19の後部が、平面視で前記後側接続部34に向かうにつれて漸次近接する側に傾斜するように形成されるので、燃料タンク13を左右の支持フレーム19で保護しつつ、乗員の跨ぎ性を良好として、足付き性を高めることができる。
Further, since the rear portions of the pair of left and right support frames 19 are formed so as to be gradually inclined toward the rear connection portion 34 in plan view, the fuel tank 13 is protected by the left and right support frames 19. And, the occupant's straddling property is made good, and the footing property can be enhanced.
また前記支持フレーム19に、平面視で前記燃料タンク13の一部と重なるようにして前記燃料タンク13を上方から跨ぐ左右一対のサブパイプ61が固定されるので、燃料タンク13を支持フレーム19の高い位置で支持するようにしていても、燃料タンク13の上面をサブパイプ61で効果的に保護することができる。
In addition, since the pair of left and right sub pipes 61 are fixed to the support frame 19 so as to overlap a part of the fuel tank 13 in a plan view, the fuel tank 13 is positioned higher than the support frame 19. Even if it is supported at the position, the upper surface of the fuel tank 13 can be effectively protected by the sub pipe 61.
また前記前側接続部33が前記ダウンフレーム16に締結され、前記後側接続部34が前記リヤフレーム18間に設けられる第2のクロスフレーム42に締結されるので、支持フレーム19を、前記ダウンフレーム16と、第2のクロスフレーム42との間にわたって容易に設けることができる。
Further, since the front connection portion 33 is fastened to the down frame 16 and the rear connection portion 34 is fastened to a second cross frame 42 provided between the rear frames 18, the support frame 19 is attached to the down frame. 16 and the second cross frame 42 can be easily provided.
さらに車体フレームFのうち支持フレーム19およびサブパイプ61を除く部分は、乗車用シートの前方を足置き空間として利用する一般的な低床式スクータ型車両の車体フレームが備えるものであり、そのような低床式スクータ型車両の車体フレームを利用することで、燃料タンクをニーグリップ状態で走行するようにしたタイプの鞍乗り型車両を提供するにあたって、車体フレームの変更度合を低減することが可能となる。
Further, a portion of the body frame F excluding the support frame 19 and the sub pipe 61 is provided in a body frame of a general low floor scooter type vehicle that uses the front of the riding seat as a footrest space. By using a body frame of a low-floor scooter type vehicle, it is possible to reduce the degree of change of the body frame when providing a saddle-ride type vehicle in which the fuel tank is driven in a knee grip state. Become.
