The wheel speed sensor 112 is connected to the sensor cover 113 to form a small assembly, and is assembled to the bottom case 96 in a small assembly state.
In detail, the wheel speed sensor 112 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 126 a of the sensor cover 113 and connected to the sensor cover 113 by the sensor connection bolt 125 to form a small assembly. In the state of the small assembly, the wheel speed sensor 112 is prevented from rotating by inserting the detection unit 112 b into the detection unit insertion hole 126 c, and is properly attached to the sensor cover 113.
Next, the small assembly is set in the bottom case 96 so that the wheel speed sensor 112 enters the sensor recess 121, and is fixed by the sensor cover fixing bolts 124, 124.
That is, the wheel speed sensor 112 is attached to the inner side surface 96 a of the bottom case 96 via the sensor cover 113. The head of the sensor connection bolt 125 is housed in the sensor recess 121.
 車輪速センサー112は、ボトムケース96の内側面96aに取り付けられるため、車両側面視では、車輪速センサー112のケース部112a及び検出部112bはボトムケース96に隠れ、外側から視認されない。詳細には、ケース部112aの後端は、V字形状部102の後縁102aよりも前方に位置し、ケース部112aはボトムケース96に隠れる。このため、車輪速センサー112が目立つことを防止でき、外観性が良い。また、車輪速センサー112を取り付けるための専用のステーを省略できるため、部品単数を削減できるとともに、外観性が良い。 The wheel speed sensor 112 is attached to the inner side surface 96a of the bottom case 96. Therefore, in the vehicle side view, the case portion 112a and the detection unit 112b of the wheel speed sensor 112 are hidden by the bottom case 96 and not viewed from the outside. Specifically, the rear end of the case portion 112 a is located forward of the rear edge 102 a of the V-shaped portion 102, and the case portion 112 a is hidden by the bottom case 96. For this reason, it can prevent that the wheel speed sensor 112 stands out, and the appearance is good. In addition, since a dedicated stay for attaching the wheel speed sensor 112 can be omitted, the number of parts can be reduced and the appearance is good.
 また、ボトムケース96の内側面96aに設けられるセンサーカバー113は、比較的小型であり、車両側面視において、その全体がボトムケース96に隠れる。このため、センサーカバー113が目立つことを防止できる。

 また、被検出部115の外周115c(図2)は、V字形状部102の後縁102aにおける結合部101の部分よりも車軸2a側に位置する。このため、被検出部115をV字形状部102によって効率良く隠すことができる。なお、パルサローター111の取付部117の先端部を、V字形状部102の後縁102aにおける結合部101の部分と車軸2aとの間に位置させ、取付部117をV字形状部102によって全体的に隠す構成としても良い。
As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting portion 101 of the V-shaped portion 102 overlaps the detected portion 115 and the mounting portion 117 of the pulsar rotor 111 in a side view of the vehicle. Therefore, the detection target portion 115 and the attachment portion 117 can be hidden by the connecting portion 101, and the appearance is good.
Further, the outer periphery 115 c (FIG. 2) of the detection target 115 is located closer to the axle 2 a than the portion of the connecting portion 101 at the rear edge 102 a of the V-shaped portion 102. Therefore, the detection target portion 115 can be efficiently hidden by the V-shaped portion 102. The tip of the mounting portion 117 of the pulsar rotor 111 is positioned between the portion of the connecting portion 101 at the rear edge 102a of the V-shaped portion 102 and the axle 2a, and the mounting portion 117 is entirely configured by the V-shaped portion 102. It is good also as composition that hides.
