Description

The present invention relates to saddle-type vehicles such as motorcycles.

Traditionally, saddle-type vehicles such as motorcycles are equipped with electrical equipment, such as a control unit that controls the saddle-type vehicle. A harness that bundles power lines and signal lines is connected to the electrical equipment. The electrical equipment mounted on the saddle-type vehicle is provided with an electrical equipment side connector, and one end of the harness is provided with a harness side connector that can be inserted and removed from the electrical equipment side connector. It is known that the electrical equipment and the harness are electrically connected by inserting the electrical equipment side connector into the electrical equipment side connector.

In saddle-type vehicles in which the electrical equipment connector is inserted into the electrical equipment connector to electrically connect the electrical equipment and the harness, measures have been taken to prevent the harness connector from unintentionally coming off the electrical equipment connector of the electrical equipment while the saddle-type vehicle is traveling, etc.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a saddle-type vehicle in which a member is provided at a position a predetermined distance away from the electrical equipment connector in the insertion/removal direction of the harness side connector to restrict movement of the harness side connector by abutting the harness side connector when the harness side connector moves a predetermined distance in the insertion/removal direction, so as to prevent the harness side connector from coming off the electrical equipment side connector.

The air that has been introduced into the air cleaner 332 and purified is guided to the throttle body 331 through the connecting tube 333, and the air flow rate is adjusted by operating the throttle valve in the throttle body 331, and the air is supplied to the cylinder head 311c of the engine 311 of the power unit 31.

Furthermore, a fuel injection device 35 that injects fuel from the fuel tank 32 toward the inside of the throttle body 331 is attached to the throttle body 331 of the intake system 33. The fuel injection device 35 is connected to the fuel pump 36 by a fuel pipe 371. The fuel pump 36 is connected to the fuel tank 32 by a feed pipe 372 and a return pipe 373, and discharges fuel toward the fuel injection device 35 at a given pressure.

In the throttle body 331, a mixture of air with an appropriate air-fuel ratio is generated by the air that has been purified by the air cleaner 332 and the fuel that is injected from the fuel injector 35, and the throttle valve is operated so that the mixture of an appropriate flow rate is supplied from the throttle body 331 to the cylinder head 311c of the engine 311 of the power unit 31.

The air cleaner 332 is connected to the vehicle body frame 10 (at least one of the main frame 13, the pivot frame 14, the seat frame 15, and the rear frame 16) behind the main frame 13. In this embodiment, at least the upper portion of the air cleaner 332 is connected to the seat frame 15.

The exhaust system 34 has an exhaust pipe 341, one end of which is connected to the cylinder head 311c of the engine 311 at the front of the power unit 31, and which passes under the power unit 31 and extends rearward. The exhaust pipe 341 is provided with a catalyst 342 that purifies the exhaust gas from the engine of the power unit 31, and a silencer (not shown) that has a sound-absorbing function for the engine of the power unit 31 and releases the exhaust gas from the engine of the power unit 31 into the atmosphere. The exhaust gas from the engine 311 of the power unit 31 passes through the exhaust pipe 341, is purified by the catalyst, and is released into the atmosphere.

The motorcycle 1 is equipped with a power transmission unit 40 that transmits the power generated by the engine 311 of the power unit 31, which is the power source of the motorcycle 1, to the rear wheel RW.

The power transmission unit 40 is connected to the output shaft of the power unit 31 and includes a drive sprocket 41 that rotates integrally with the output shaft of the power unit 31, a driven sprocket 42 that rotates integrally with the rear wheel RW, and a chain 43 that is looped around the drive sprocket 41 and the driven sprocket 42. The rotational power output from the power unit 31 is transmitted to the driven sprocket 42 via the drive sprocket 41 and the chain 43, and the rear wheel RW is driven to rotate by the rotational power of the power unit 31 transmitted to the driven sprocket 42. In this way, the drive sprocket 41, the driven sprocket 42, and the chain 43 are each one of the transmission parts that transmit the power generated by the engine 311 of the power unit 31, which is the power source of the motorcycle 1.

The power transmission unit 40 further includes a power transmission unit cover 44 that houses the drive sprocket 41, the driven sprocket 42, and the chain 43. In this embodiment, the power transmission unit cover 44 is divided into two parts, an upper cover 44a that covers the upper areas of the drive sprocket 41, the driven sprocket 42, and the chain 43, and a lower cover 44b that covers the lower areas of the drive sprocket 41, the driven sprocket 42, and the chain 43. The upper cover 44a and the lower cover 44b are connected by fastening members such as bolts.

The motorcycle 1 is equipped with a pair of left and right front forks 51, which are arranged on the left and right sides of the front wheel FW and have a cylindrical shape that extends in the vertical direction and inclines forward as it approaches downward. The pair of left and right front forks 51 support the front wheel FW at their lower ends. The pair of left and right front forks 51 function as a framework for connecting the front wheel FW to the body frame 10, and also function as a shock absorber that absorbs impacts input to the front wheel FW.

The motorcycle 1 is supported rotatably on the body frame 10 and includes a steering unit 52 that supports a pair of left and right front forks 51.

The steering unit 52 includes a rotatable bar-shaped handle 53 that extends in the left-right direction and steers the front wheel FW, a stem shaft 54 that is inserted into the head pipe 11 of the body frame 10, a top bridge 55 that connects and fixes the upper ends of the left and right front forks 51, and an under bracket 56 that connects and fixes the left and right front forks 51 below the top bridge 55. Therefore, the left and right front forks 51 are fixed to the top bridge 55 and the under bracket 56.

The handlebars 53 are fixed to the upper surface of the top bridge 55. When the rider of the motorcycle 1 turns the handlebars 53 extending in the left-right direction, the steering unit 52 turns integrally with the steering unit 52 around the stem shaft 54 (head pipe 11 of the body frame 10). At this time, the left and right front forks 51 fixed to the top bridge 55 and under bracket 56 of the steering unit 52 and the front wheel FW supported at the lower ends of the left and right front forks 51 also turn integrally with the steering unit 52 around the stem shaft 54 (head pipe 11 of the body frame 10). In this way, the handlebars 53 steer the front wheel FW. As a result, the rider of the motorcycle 1 can drive the motorcycle 1 while holding the left and right ends of the handlebars 53 with the left and right hands, and can turn the motorcycle 1 in the left and right directions by turning the handlebars 53 while driving to steer the front wheel FW.

The motorcycle 1 is equipped with a power storage unit 61. The power storage unit 61 has a secondary battery, such as a lithium ion battery or a lead battery. The power storage unit 61 is fixed to the right side surface of the main frame 13 near the curved portion 13a. The power stored in the power storage unit 61 is supplied to each of the multiple electrical components mounted on the motorcycle 1 via a harness 70.

As shown in Figures 2 and 5, the motorcycle 1 includes a fuel injection control unit 62 and an ACG control unit 63. The fuel injection control unit 62 is a unit that controls the amount and timing of fuel injection by the fuel pump 36 and a fuel injector (not shown) to supply fuel to the fuel injection device 35 at a predetermined pressure, and is one of multiple electrical components mounted on the motorcycle 1. The ACG control unit 63 is a unit that controls the amount of power generated by the ACG starter 313 and stored in the power storage unit 61, and at least controls the start timing of the ACG starter 313 to drive the power unit 31, and is one of multiple electrical components mounted on the motorcycle 1.

As shown in FIG. 4, the fuel injection control unit 62, the ACG control unit 63, and the air cleaner 332 are covered on the left side by the upper side cowl 22 and the lower side cowl 23.

As shown in Figures 6 to 9, the fuel injection control unit 62 has a body 620 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A unit side connector 621 is provided on one surface of the body 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The fuel injection control unit 62 is supported on the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 with the unit side connector 621 facing forward.

The fuel injection control unit 62 includes a mounting member 622 fixed to the main body 620. The mounting member 622 covers a portion of the left side surface of the main body 620 from the top to the bottom, and is formed with a pair of upper and lower extensions 622a extending upward and downward from the top and bottom surfaces of the main body 620, respectively. The mounting member 622 is formed of an elastic member. The upper and lower extensions 622a of the mounting member 622 each have an engagement hole 622b penetrating in the left-right direction. When viewed from the outside in the vehicle width direction, each engagement hole 622b has an elongated hole shape extending parallel to the top and bottom surfaces of the main body 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62.

The left side of the air cleaner 332 is provided with a first electrical component fixing portion 332a that protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction from the left side of the air cleaner 332 and accommodates and engages the lower rear end portion of the fuel injection control unit 62, and a pair of upper and lower second electrical component fixing portions 332b that protrude outward in the vehicle width direction from the left side of the air cleaner 332 above and below the fuel injection control unit 62 and engage the fuel injection control unit 62.

As a result, the fuel injection control unit 62 is fixed to the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 by two or more fixing parts including at least the first electrical equipment fixing part 332a and the second electrical equipment fixing part 332b, so that the fuel injection control unit 62 can be more firmly fixed to the left side surface of the air cleaner 332.

The first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a has a pocket portion 91 that accommodates the lower rear end portion of the fuel injection control unit 62. The pocket portion 91 covers at least a portion of the rear surface of the fuel injection control unit 62. The pocket portion 91 has a rear wall portion 91a that faces the rear surface of the fuel injection control unit 62, a lower wall portion 91b that extends forward from the lower end portion of the rear wall portion 91a and faces the lower surface of the fuel injection control unit 62, and a cover wall portion 91c that extends forward from the rear wall portion 91a and upward from the lower wall portion 91b and faces the left surface of the fuel injection control unit 62. The pocket portion 91 covers the lower end portion of the rear surface of the fuel injection control unit 62 and accommodates the lower rear end portion of the fuel injection control unit 62.

A through hole 91d is formed in the rear wall 91a of the pocket portion 91, penetrating in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, two through holes 91d are formed in the rear wall 91a of the pocket portion 91, one above the other.

Therefore, even if the traveling wind flowing rearward while the motorcycle 1 is traveling and water such as rainwater splashing rearward along with the traveling wind enter the pocket portion 91, it can be discharged rearward from the through hole 91d formed in the rear wall portion 91a. As a result, while the motorcycle 1 is traveling, the traveling wind that has entered the pocket portion 91 and water such as rainwater that has entered the pocket portion 91 can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the pocket portion 91.

The second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b has a protruding portion 92 that protrudes from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 in a first direction (the vehicle width direction in this embodiment) perpendicular to the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 (the front-to-rear direction in this embodiment), and a claw portion 92a formed on the protruding portion 92.

The second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b is provided in a pair on the upper and lower sides of the main body portion 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62, sandwiching the main body portion 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62.

The second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the lower side of the main body 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62 is formed so that the claw portion 92a protrudes forward from the front end of the tip of the protrusion 92, and the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the upper side of the main body 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62 is formed so that the claw portion 92a protrudes rearward from the rear end of the tip of the protrusion 92.

To mold the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a on the left side surface of the air cleaner 332, a mold must be inserted from the upper front toward the lower rear toward the pocket portion 91 to mold it, and then the mold must be removed from the pocket portion 91 to the upper front after molding. At this time, the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the lower side, which is the side closer to the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a, has the claw portion 92a formed on the front side, which is the side farther from the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a in the protrusion 92, and the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the upper side, which is the side farther from the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a, has the claw portion 92a formed on the rear side, which is the side closer to the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a in the protrusion 92. Therefore, when the mold is inserted into the pocket portion 91 from the front upper side and removed from the pocket portion 91 to the front upper side, the claw portion 92a can be prevented from getting caught on the mold. This improves the ease of molding the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a.

Then, while bending the pair of upper and lower extensions 622a of the mounting member 622, the fuel injection control unit 62 accommodates and engages the lower rear end of the fuel injection control unit 62 in the pocket portion 91 of the air cleaner 332, and then, while returning the pair of upper and lower extensions 622a of the bent mounting member 622 to their original positions, the protrusions 92 of the pair of upper and lower second electrical equipment fixing portions 332b of the air cleaner 332 are inserted into the pair of upper and lower engagement holes 622b of the mounting member 622, respectively, and the claw portions 92a of the pair of upper and lower second electrical equipment fixing portions 332b are engaged with the pair of upper and lower extensions 622a of the mounting member 622, respectively.

In this way, the lower rear end of the fuel injection control unit 62 is accommodated and engaged in the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a, and the protrusion portion 92 of the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b is inserted into the extension portion 622a of the mounting member 622, and the claw portion 92a of the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b engages, so that the fuel injection control unit 62 is supported on the left side surface of the air cleaner 332.

As a result, by releasing the engagement between the claw portion 92a of the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b and the extension portion 622a of the mounting member 622, the fuel injection control unit 62 can be easily removed from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332, so that the fuel injection control unit 62 can be firmly fixed to the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 while being easily attached and detached.

The harness 70 has a first harness 71 that connects to the fuel injection control unit 62. The power unit 31 is provided with a rotation sensor (not shown) that detects the rotation angle position of the rotor of the ACG starter 313.

One end of the first harness 71 is connected to the first harness side connector 701. The first harness side connector 701 is fitted to the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 so that it can be inserted and removed from the front. This allows the first harness 71 to be electrically connected to the fuel injection control unit 62. The insertion and removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 of the first harness 71 with respect to the unit side connector 621 provided on the fuel injection control unit 62 is the front-rear direction, and the first harness 71 extends forward from the unit side connector 621 and the first harness side connector 701. Although not shown in the figure, the first harness 71 branches into two on the way. The first other end of the branched first harness 71 is connected to the power storage unit 61, and the second other end of the branched first harness 71 is connected to the fuel pump 36. The fuel injection control unit 62 supplies the electricity stored in the power storage unit 61 to the fuel pump 36 via the first harness 71.

On the left side of the air cleaner 332, a first harness fixing portion 332c is formed at a position a predetermined distance away from the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 in the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 relative to the unit side connector 621 (hereinafter, also referred to as the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701. In this embodiment, the front-rear direction). A harness fixing member 93 is provided on the first harness fixing portion 332c. The harness fixing member 93 is fixed to the first harness fixing portion 332c of the air cleaner 332 and has a band portion 93a that surrounds and binds the harness. The first harness 71 extends forward from the unit side connector 621 and the first harness side connector 701, and is bound by the band portion 93a of the harness fixing member 93 in front of the fuel injection control unit 62 and fixed to the first harness fixing portion 332c.

Furthermore, on the left side surface of the air cleaner 332, a connector restricting portion 332d is provided between the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 and the first harness fixing portion 332c in the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701. The connector restricting portion 332d protrudes from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 in a first direction (in this embodiment, the vehicle width direction) perpendicular to the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 (in this embodiment, the front-to-rear direction).

The connector restricting portion 332d has a main wall portion 332d1 that protrudes from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 in the aforementioned first direction (vehicle width direction in this embodiment) and extends in the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701, and a pair of side wall portions 332d2 that extend from both ends of the main wall portion 332d1 in the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 and bend away from the first harness 71 in a second direction (up-down direction in this embodiment) perpendicular to both the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 and the aforementioned first direction (vehicle width direction in this embodiment).

Therefore, in this embodiment, the connector restricting portion 332d has a generally U-shape that opens on the side away from the first harness 71 in the second direction (the up-down direction in this embodiment) when viewed from the protruding direction of the connector restricting portion 332d (the vehicle width direction in this embodiment). Also, in this embodiment, the connector restricting portion 332d has a shape that is inclined outward in the vehicle width direction. This allows for efficient drainage.

The main wall portion 332d1 of the connector regulating portion 332d is formed so as to overlap with the first harness 71 when viewed from a second direction (in this embodiment, a vertical direction) perpendicular to both the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 and the aforementioned first direction (in this embodiment, the vehicle width direction) even when the first harness 71 is pulled in the aforementioned first direction (in this embodiment, the vehicle width direction) away from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 with the first harness side connector 701 inserted into the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 and the first harness 71 fixed to the first harness fixing portion 332c. Specifically, when the first harness side connector 701 is inserted into the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 and the first harness 71 is fixed to the first harness fixing portion 332c, it is desirable that the first harness 71 is formed so that it cannot overcome the connector restricting portion 332d even when the first harness 71 is pulled to its maximum extent in the first direction (the vehicle width direction in this embodiment) away from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332.

Therefore, even if the first harness 71 is pulled in the first direction (vehicle width direction in this embodiment) away from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 with the first harness side connector 701 inserted into the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 and the first harness 71 fixed to the first harness fixing portion 332c, the first harness 71 cannot overcome the connector restricting portion 332d. As a result, the connector restricting portion 332d restricts the movement of the first harness 71, which prevents the first harness side connector 701 from unintentionally detaching from the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 with a simple shape. In addition, even if the first harness 71 swings, it abuts against the connector restricting portion 332d, so that the swinging of the first harness 71 can be reduced and the first harness 71 can be protected.

In this embodiment, the protruding length L1 of the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d in the aforementioned first direction (the vehicle width direction in this embodiment) is longer than the first harness extension length L2 of the first harness 71 from the center of the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d in the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 to a position where it intersects with a virtual line VL1 extending perpendicularly to the main wall portion 332d1.

Therefore, when the first harness side connector 701 is inserted into the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62, the first harness 71 will not climb over the connector restriction portion 332d no matter how it swings. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent the first harness side connector 701 from unintentionally detaching from the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 with a simple shape, and also makes it possible to reliably reduce the swinging of the first harness 71 because the first harness 71 abuts against the connector restriction portion 332d even if it swings.

The end 94a of the adjacent portion 94 where the tank cover 21 and the passenger seat 19 are adjacent is located between the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 and the first harness fixing portion 332c in the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 (the front-rear direction in this embodiment). The approximately U-shaped connector restricting portion 332d is provided at a position that intersects with the imaginary line VL2 that extends vertically downward from the end 94a of the adjacent portion 94.

Therefore, water such as rainwater flowing along the adjacent portion 94 where the tank cover 21 and the passenger seat 19 are adjacent flows down from the end 94a of the adjacent portion 94 to the connector restricting portion 332d. The water then flows along the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d in the first direction (the vehicle width direction in this embodiment) and flows downward from the tip of the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d in the first direction. This allows the connector restricting portion 332d to protect the first harness 71 from water flowing along the adjacent portion 94 where the tank cover 21 and the passenger seat 19 are adjacent.

Furthermore, the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d is inclined downward from the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 and protrudes in the aforementioned first direction (the vehicle width direction in this embodiment).

Therefore, water that flows down the adjacent portion 94 where the tank cover 21 and the passenger seat 19 are adjacent from the end 94a of the adjacent portion 94 to the connector restricting portion 332d flows toward the tip of the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d in the first direction. This makes it possible to more reliably ensure that water flowing down the adjacent portion 94 where the tank cover 21 and the passenger seat 19 are adjacent flows downward from the tip of the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d in the first direction.

Returning to FIG. 5, the ACG control unit 63 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A first unit side connector 631 is provided on one surface of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped ACG control unit 63. A second unit side connector 632 is provided on the surface of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped ACG control unit 63 facing the first unit side connector 631. The ACG control unit 63 is fixed to a support member 80. In this embodiment, the support member 80 is a metal stay that supports the ACG control unit 63. The support member 80 is fixed to the left side surface of the air cleaner 332. The ACG control unit 63 is supported on the left side surface of the air cleaner 332 via the support member 80 with the first unit side connector 631 facing downward and the second unit side connector 632 facing downward.

The harness 70 has a second harness 72 that electrically connects the ACG control unit 63 to the rotation sensor, a third harness 73 that electrically connects the ACG control unit 63 to the power storage unit 61, and a fourth harness 74 that electrically connects the ACG control unit 63 to the ACG starter 313.

One end of the second harness 72 is connected to the second harness side connector 702. The second harness side connector 702 fits into the second unit side connector 632 of the ACG control unit 63 from above. This electrically connects the second harness 72 to the ACG control unit 63. The second harness 72 extends upward from the second unit side connector 632 and the second harness side connector 702, extends upward, and the other end connects to the rotation sensor of the ACG starter 313. A detection signal of the rotation sensor of the ACG starter 313 is input to the ACG control unit 63 via the second harness 72. The ACG control unit 63 controls the power supplied to the ACG starter 313 based on the detection signal of the rotation sensor of the ACG starter 313 input via the second harness 72.

One end of each of the third harness 73 and the fourth harness 74 is connected to the third harness side connector 703. The third harness side connector 703 is fitted into the first unit side connector 631 of the ACG control unit 63 from below so as to be removable. This allows the third harness 73 and the fourth harness 74 to be electrically connected to the ACG control unit 63. The third harness 73 extends downward from the first unit side connector 631 and the third harness side connector 703, curves forward and upward, and extends upward, with the other end connected to the storage unit 61. The fourth harness 74 extends downward from the first unit side connector 631 and the third harness side connector 703, curves forward, and extends forward, with the other end connected to the ACG starter 313. The ACG control unit 63 converts the power stored in the power storage unit 61 and supplies it to the ACG starter 313 via the third harness 73 and the fourth harness 74, and also converts the power generated by the ACG starter 313 and supplies it to the power storage unit 61.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the attached drawings, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can come up with various modified or revised examples within the scope of the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally fall within the technical scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the components in the above embodiment may be combined in any manner as long as it does not deviate from the spirit of the invention.

For example, in this embodiment, the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a is configured to cover the lower end portion of the rear surface of the fuel injection control unit 62 and accommodate the lower rear end portion of the fuel injection control unit 62, but the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a may be configured to cover the upper end portion of the rear surface of the fuel injection control unit 62 and accommodate the upper rear end portion of the fuel injection control unit 62.

In this case, the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the upper side of the main body 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62 is formed so that the claw portion 92a protrudes forward from the front end of the tip of the protrusion 92, and the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the lower side of the main body 620 of the fuel injection control unit 62 is formed so that the claw portion 92a protrudes rearward from the rear end of the tip of the protrusion 92.

To mold the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a on the left side surface of the air cleaner 332, a mold must be inserted from the lower front toward the upper rear toward the pocket portion 91 to mold it, and then the mold must be removed from the pocket portion 91 toward the lower front after molding. At this time, the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the upper side, which is the side closer to the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a, has the claw portion 92a formed on the front side, which is the side farther from the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a in the protrusion 92, and the second electrical equipment fixing portion 332b provided on the lower side, which is the side farther from the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a, has the claw portion 92a formed on the rear side, which is the side closer to the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a in the protrusion 92. Therefore, when the mold is inserted into the pocket portion 91 from the front lower side and removed from the pocket portion 91 from the front lower side, the claw portion 92a can be prevented from getting caught on the mold. This improves the ease of molding the pocket portion 91 of the first electrical equipment fixing portion 332a.

In addition, for example, in this embodiment, the fuel injection control unit 62 is supported on the left side of the air cleaner 332 with the unit side connector 621 facing forward, but the fuel injection control unit 62 may also be supported on the left side of the air cleaner 332 with the unit side connector 621 facing, for example, upward.

In this case, the first harness fixing portion 332c is formed above the position where the fuel injection control unit 62 is arranged, and the first harness 71 extends upward from the unit side connector 621 and the first harness side connector 701 and is fixed to the first harness fixing portion 332c above the fuel injection control unit 62. The end 95a of the adjacent portion 95 where the tank cover 21 and the upper side cowl 22 are adjacent is located between the unit side connector 621 of the fuel injection control unit 62 and the first harness fixing portion 332c in the insertion/removal direction of the first harness side connector 701 (in this case, the up-down direction). Furthermore, the connector restricting portion 332d has a substantially U-shape that opens toward the front, and is provided at a position that intersects with an imaginary line that extends horizontally rearward from the end 95a of the adjacent portion 95 where the tank cover 21 and the upper side cowl 22 are adjacent.

In this way, when the motorcycle 1 is traveling, water such as rainwater flowing along the adjacent portion 95 where the tank cover 21 and the upper side cowl 22 are adjacent flies from the end 95a of the adjacent portion 95 toward the connector restricting portion 332d and hits the connector restricting portion 332d. The water that hits the connector restricting portion 332d then flows rearward from the tip of the main wall portion 332d1 of the connector restricting portion 332d in the first direction described above. This allows the connector restricting portion 332d to protect the first harness 71 from water flowing along the adjacent portion 95 where the tank cover 21 and the upper side cowl 22 are adjacent.

In addition, for example, in this embodiment, the cowl member 20 has an upper side cowl 22 and a lower side cowl 23, but the cowl member 20 may have a side cowl in which the upper side cowl 22 and the lower side cowl 23 are integrated, and the side cowl fixed to the tank cover 21 may be a side cowl in which the upper side cowl 22 and the lower side cowl 23 are integrated.

In addition, for example, in this embodiment, the fuel injection control unit 62 is fixed to the air cleaner 332, and the first harness fixing portion 332c is provided on the air cleaner 332, but the fuel injection control unit 62 may be fixed to any on-board component (e.g., the body frame 10, etc.) not limited to the air cleaner 332, and the first harness fixing portion 332c may be provided to any on-board component (e.g., the body frame 10, etc.) not limited to the air cleaner 332. Also, the on-board component to which the fuel injection control unit 62 is fixed and the on-board component to which the first harness fixing portion 332c is provided may be different on-board components.

In addition, for example, in this embodiment, the first electrical component mounted on the motorcycle 1 is the fuel injection control unit 62, but the first electrical component mounted on the motorcycle 1 is not limited to the fuel injection control unit 62 and may be any electrical component. Similarly, while the second electrical component mounted on the motorcycle 1 is the ACG control unit 63, the second electrical component mounted on the motorcycle 1 is not limited to the ACG control unit 63 and may be any electrical component.

In addition, for example, in this embodiment, the power unit 31 has an engine 311, and the power source of the motorcycle 1 is the engine 311 of the power unit 31, but the power unit 31 may have a drive motor, and the motorcycle 1 may be an electric vehicle powered by the drive motor of the power unit 31 as a power source, or a hybrid vehicle powered by both the engine 311 and the drive motor.

In addition, for example, in this embodiment, the power transmission unit 40 is equipped with a chain 43, but instead of the chain 43, a belt capable of transmitting the rotational power output from the power unit 31 may be used.

This specification describes at least the following items. In parentheses, examples of corresponding components in the above-mentioned embodiments are shown, but the present invention is not limited to these.

(1) an electrical component (fuel injection control unit 62) provided with an electrical component side connector (unit side connector 621);
At least one harness (first harness 71) having a harness side connector (first harness side connector 701) at one end thereof that is insertable into and removable from the electrical equipment side connector;
a first vehicle-mounted component (air cleaner 332) provided with electrical component fixing portions (first electrical component fixing portion 332a, second electrical component fixing portion 332b) for fixing the electrical components;
A saddle-type vehicle (motorcycle 1) including a harness fixing portion (first harness fixing portion 332c) that fixes the harness,
the harness fixing portion is formed at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the electrical equipment side connector in a direction in which the harness side connector is inserted into and removed from the electrical equipment side connector,
the first on-vehicle component is provided with a connector restricting portion (connector restricting portion 332d) between the electrical equipment connector and the harness fixing portion in the insertion/removal direction, the connector restricting portion protruding from the first on-vehicle component in a first direction (vehicle width direction) perpendicular to the insertion/removal direction,
In a saddle-type vehicle, when viewed from a second direction (up-down direction) perpendicular to both the insertion/removal direction and the first direction, the connector regulating portion is formed to overlap with the harness when the harness side connector is inserted into the electrical equipment side connector and the harness is fixed to the harness fixing portion, and the harness is pulled in the first direction toward the side away from the first vehicle-mounted component.

According to (1), even if the harness is pulled in the first direction away from the first vehicle component with the harness side connector inserted into the electrical equipment side connector of the electrical equipment and the harness fixed to the harness fixing portion, the harness cannot overcome the connector restricting portion. As a result, by restricting the movement of the harness by the connector restricting portion that restricts the movement of the harness side connector, it is possible to prevent the harness side connector from unintentionally detaching from the electrical equipment side connector of the electrical equipment with a simple shape. In addition, even if the harness swings, it abuts against the connector restricting portion, so that swinging of the harness can be reduced and the harness can be protected.

(2) The saddle-type vehicle according to (1),
The saddle type vehicle is
A second vehicle-mounted part (tank cover 21);
and a third vehicle-mounted component (passenger seat 19) adjacent to the second vehicle-mounted component.

The connector restriction portion is provided at a position intersecting an imaginary line extending vertically downward from the end portion.

According to (2), in the insertion/removal direction, the end of the adjacent portion where the second on-board component and the third on-board component are adjacent is located between the electrical equipment side connector and the harness fixing portion, and the connector restricting portion is provided at a position intersecting with an imaginary line extending vertically downward from the end, so that water such as rainwater flowing along the adjacent portion where the second on-board component and the third on-board component are adjacent flows down from the end of the adjacent portion to the connector restricting portion. It then flows in the first direction through the connector restricting portion and flows downward from the tip of the connector restricting portion in the first direction. As a result, the connector restricting portion can protect the harness from water flowing along the adjacent portion where the second on-board component and the third on-board component are adjacent.

(3) The saddle-type vehicle according to (1),
The saddle type vehicle is
A second vehicle-mounted part (tank cover 21);
and a third vehicle-mounted part (upper side cowl 22) adjacent to the second vehicle-mounted part,

The connector restriction portion is provided at a position intersecting an imaginary line extending horizontally rearward from the end portion.

According to (3), in the insertion/removal direction, the end of the adjacent portion where the second on-board component and the third on-board component are adjacent is located between the electrical equipment side connector and the harness fixing portion, and the connector restricting portion is provided at a position intersecting with an imaginary line extending horizontally rearward from that end. Therefore, when the saddle-type vehicle is traveling, water such as rainwater flowing along the adjacent portion where the second on-board component and the third on-board component are adjacent flies from the end of the adjacent portion toward the connector restricting portion and hits the connector restricting portion. Then, the water that hits the connector restricting portion flows rearward from the tip of the connector restricting portion in the first direction. As a result, the connector restricting portion can protect the harness from water flowing along the adjacent portion where the second on-board component and the third on-board component are adjacent.

(4) A saddle-type vehicle according to any one of (1) to (3),
The electric component fixing portion of the saddle-type vehicle includes a first electric component fixing portion (a first electric component fixing portion 332a) and a second electric component fixing portion (a second electric component fixing portion 332b).

According to (4), the electrical equipment is fixed to the first vehicle-mounted component by two or more fixing parts including at least the first electrical equipment fixing part and the second electrical equipment fixing part, so that the electrical equipment can be more firmly fixed to the first vehicle-mounted component.

(5) A saddle-type vehicle according to (4),
The first electric component fixing portion has a housing portion (pocket portion 91) that covers at least a part of a rear surface of the electric component and houses at least a part of the electric component,
The housing portion has a rear wall portion (rear wall portion 91 a) facing the rear surface of the electrical equipment,
A through hole (through hole 91d) penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the rear wall of the storage section.

According to (5), a through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed in the rear wall of the storage section, which covers at least a portion of the rear surface of the electrical equipment and stores at least a portion of the electrical equipment, so that even if the wind flowing rearward when the saddle-type vehicle is traveling and water such as rainwater that splashes rearward along with the wind enter the storage section, it can be discharged rearward from the through hole formed in the rear wall. As a result, when the saddle-type vehicle is traveling, the wind that enters the storage section and water such as rainwater that enters the storage section can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the storage section.

(6) A saddle-type vehicle according to (4) or (5),
The second electrical equipment fixing portion has a protruding portion (protruding portion 92) protruding from the first vehicle-mounted component in the first direction and a claw portion (claw portion 92 a) formed on the protruding portion,
The electric equipment has an engagement portion (engagement hole 622b) into which the protrusion of the second electric equipment fixing portion is inserted and into which the claw portion engages.

According to (6), by releasing the engagement between the claw portion of the second electrical equipment fixing portion and the engagement portion of the electrical equipment, the electrical equipment can be easily removed from the first vehicle-mounted component, so that the electrical equipment can be firmly fixed to the first vehicle-mounted component while being easily attached and detached.

(7) The saddle-type vehicle according to (6),
The electrical equipment has a main body (main body 620) and a pair of extension parts (extension parts 622a) extending to one side and the other side of the main body with the main body between them,
the first electric component fixing portion has a housing portion (pocket portion 91) that covers the end portion on the one side of the rear surface of the electric component and houses at least a part of the electric component,
The engagement portion is provided on each of the pair of extension portions,
the second electric component fixing portion is provided on one side of the main body portion of the electric component and the other side of the main body portion of the electric component, with the main body portion of the electric component being sandwiched therebetween,
The second electrical equipment fixing portion provided on the one side of the main body of the electrical equipment has the claw portion formed at a front end portion,
The second electrical equipment fixing portion provided on the other side of the main body of the electrical equipment has the claw portion formed at a rear end portion.

According to (7), in order to mold the housing of the first electric equipment fixing part in the first vehicle mounted part, it is necessary to insert the die from the other front side of the main body part toward the housing part toward the one rear side and mold it, and after molding, remove the die from the housing part to the other front side. At this time, the second electric equipment fixing part provided on the one side, which is the side closer to the housing part of the first electric equipment fixing part, has a claw portion formed on the front side, which is the side farther from the housing part of the first electric equipment fixing part in the protrusion, and the second electric equipment fixing part provided on the other side, which is the side farther from the housing part of the first electric equipment fixing part, has a claw portion formed on the rear side, which is the side closer to the housing part of the first electric equipment fixing part in the protrusion. Therefore, when the die is inserted into the housing part from the other front side and removed from the housing part to the other front side, the claw portion can be prevented from getting caught on the die. This improves the ease of molding the housing part of the first electric equipment fixing part.

(8) A saddle-type vehicle according to any one of (1) to (7),
The connector restriction portion has a main wall portion (main wall portion 332d1) protruding from the first vehicle component in the first direction and extending in the insertion/removal direction,
A saddle-type vehicle, wherein a protruding length (protruding length L1) of the main wall portion in the first direction is longer than a harness extension length (first harness extension length L2) of the harness extending from the harness side connector to a position where the harness intersects with a virtual line extending perpendicularly to the main wall portion from a center of the main wall portion of the connector regulating portion in the insertion/removal direction.

According to (8), the protruding length of the main wall portion of the connector restricting portion in the first direction is longer than the harness extension length of the harness from the harness side connector to the position where the harness intersects with the imaginary line. Therefore, when the harness side connector is inserted into the electrical equipment side connector of the electrical equipment, the harness will not go over the connector restricting portion no matter how it swings. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent the harness side connector from unintentionally coming off the electrical equipment side connector of the electrical equipment with a simple shape, and also makes it possible to reliably reduce swinging of the harness because the harness abuts against the connector restricting portion even if it swings.
