Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] Technical field The present invention relates to the structure of a scooter type vehicle.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in scooter type vehicles, it has been usual to mount a fuel tank under the seat.

In response, recently, a scooter-type vehicle has been developed in which a fuel tank is mounted below the vehicle body, that is, under a low-floor footrest on which the driver rests his or her feet. In scooter-type vehicles with a fuel tank mounted under the low-floor footrest, there was a problem as to where to place the oil filler port for the fuel tank, so a leg shield plate was formed on the rear surface of the leg shield plate below the handlebar. It has been considered to provide the oil filler port near the article storage chamber. In this case, since the tubular member forming the fuel injection passage from the oil filler port to the fuel tank is disposed avoiding the center plane of the vehicle body where the main frame extends, the vehicle is placed on the side where the tubular member is disposed. There is a tendency for uneven weight distribution to occur, which has been a hindrance to increasing the size of the tubular member in consideration of ease of injection into the fuel tank.

Summary of the invention Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention has been developed to provide a structure in which the tubular member forming the fuel injection passage to the fuel tank provided under the low-floor footrest is provided unevenly toward the side of the vehicle. The objective is to provide a scooter type vehicle that can maintain vehicle weight distribution.

In the scooter-type vehicle according to the present invention, a tubular member forming a fuel injection passage to the fuel tank provided under the low-floor footrest and a liquid storage tank for storing cooling water, etc. are attached to the leg shield plate of the vehicle. It adopts a configuration in which it is disposed left and right in the front-rear direction.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a scooter type vehicle according to the present invention. The scooter type vehicle shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a leg shield plate 2 below the handle 1, and a low-floor footrest 3 extending from below the leg shield plate 2 toward the rear of the vehicle body. . A fuel tank 4 is mounted below the low-floor footrest 3. A shell member 6 forming an article storage chamber 5 is provided on the rear side of the leg shield plate 2.
is fixed. An injection pipe 7 forming a part of the fuel injection passage to the fuel tank 4 is provided below the article storage chamber 5 on the rear side of the leg shield plate 2, and an oil filling end 7b having an oil filling port 7a of the injection pipe 7 is provided. Cap 8 is crowned on the top.
A fuel injection passage from the lower end of the injection pipe 7 to the fuel tank 4 is formed by an injection hose 9.
The injection pipe 7 and the injection hose 9 are tubular members that form a fuel injection passage from the oil filler port 7a to the fuel tank 4.

As is clear from FIGS. 2 and 3, a breather tube 10 for venting air from the fuel tank 4 and an overflow tube 11 for discharging fuel spilled from the filler port 7a are attached to the tubular member. . As is clear from FIG. 3, the injection pipe 7 and the injection hose 9 are arranged, for example, on the left side of the vehicle, whereas the leg shield plate 2
A liquid storage tank 12 is provided on the rear side opposite the injection pipe 7, ie on the right side in FIG.
The liquid storage tank 12 is used as an oil tank for separate refueling of a two-stroke engine or as a reserve tank for storing cooling water for a water-cooled engine. As shown in the figure, it is preferable to house the injection pipe 7 and the liquid storage tank 12 within the shell member 6 so that the appearance is not spoiled. Note that the injection pipe 7 and the liquid storage tank 12 described above may be provided on opposite sides.

Effects of the invention As explained above, in the scooter type vehicle according to the invention, there is a tubular member that forms a fuel injection passage to the fuel tank provided below the low-floor footrest, and a liquid that stores cooling water, etc. The storage tank is arranged on the leg shield plate on the left and right sides with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Therefore, since the shape of the liquid storage tank can be set relatively freely as long as the capacity is determined, it is easy to adjust the vehicle weight distribution, and the shape and weight of the liquid storage tank including the liquid to be stored can be set relatively freely. By setting the tubular member to match its shape and weight, good vehicle weight distribution can be maintained even if the tubular member is made larger to improve injection into the fuel tank.
