Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of enhancing the visibility of exterior components, enhancing the visibility of vehicle, as well as reducing a required quantity of light-emitting materials.SOLUTION: A body cover 61 as an exterior component has surface parts 71 to 74 that constitute outer sides. On the surface part 72 of which appearance is easily visible in terms of design of the surface parts 71 to 74, an appearance-visible contour line 75 that continuously forms an appearance-visible contour is provided. On the appearance-visible contour line 75, a light-emitter 76 molded concurrently at the time of molding of the body cover 61 is continuously provided. Since the appearance-visible contour line forms a part of the exterior components, its area is small. As a result, it is only necessary to provide the light-emitting means on the appearance-visible contour line with such a small area, and thus it becomes possible to reduce the amount of the light-emitting means.

Description

  The present invention relates to an exterior part that is provided in a saddle-ride type vehicle and can improve visibility.

  In a saddle-ride type vehicle, a technique is known in which exterior parts are illuminated to improve the visibility of the saddle-ride type vehicle at dusk or at night (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (FIG. 1)).

  In the saddle-ride type vehicle shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, multiple fairing illuminations are provided at any part of fairing (1) (the numbers in parentheses indicate the symbols described in Patent Document; the same applies hereinafter). A lamp (2) is provided, and power is supplied to these fairing illumination lamps (2) to emit light, and light is transmitted through the fairing (1) for light emission display.

However, making the fairing (1) emit light by electricity consumes electric power and makes it difficult to distinguish it from a lighting device as a safety part. A technology that does not use electric power is desired.
Therefore, a technique for causing an exterior component to emit light without using electric power is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2 (FIG. 1) and Patent Document 3 (FIG. 3)).

  The saddle-ride type vehicle shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 2 includes a meter unit (23) that is provided in front of the head pipe (2) and whose display surface faces the rider side.

  Around the edge of the meter unit (23), a phosphorescent tape (40) that accumulates light emitted from the periphery and emits light is attached. However, even if the surroundings of the meter emit light, only a part of the entire vehicle is illuminated, and the light emission area is limited. In addition, a small part such as a meter has a relatively large curvature, and for example, wrinkles when attaching to a spherical surface or the like becomes a problem.

  On the other hand, in the saddle-ride type vehicle shown in FIG. 3 of Patent Document 3, the mudguard (3) is formed of a synthetic resin colored with a luminescent ink mixed with luminescent ink, and is formed on the inner surface of the mudguard (3). A non-transparent paint of the same color as the fluorescent color is applied.

  However, it is necessary to mix the luminescent ink evenly with the synthetic resin. When the luminescent area is enlarged, the required amount of the luminescent material is increased and the production cost of the mudguard (3) is increased. Therefore, a technique capable of reducing the required amount of light emitting material is required.

  In the invention according to claim 2, the light emitting means is a film in which a light emitting body is disposed at a position corresponding to an outer appearance possible outline and is attached to an exterior part by film insert molding. When an exterior part is injection-molded by film insert molding, the exterior part can be obtained by placing a film in advance in a mold and injecting resin into the cavity. That is, it is possible to manufacture an exterior part to which a light emitter is attached in an injection molding process, thereby improving productivity and reducing costs.

In the invention according to claim 3, the light emitting means is such that the exterior part is filled with the light emitting paint at a position corresponding to the outer appearance possible outline line by injection in-mold molding. By injection-in-molding, the outer-appearing outline portion is filled with the luminescent material paint at the same time as the exterior part is formed, so the luminescent material paint is efficiently and integrally attached onto the outer-appearable outline line of the outer part. be able to.
Further, when the exterior part is injection-molded, the exterior part can be obtained by injecting a resin into the cavity and subsequently filling the phosphor coating material and then opening the mold. That is, it is possible to manufacture an exterior part to which a light emitter is attached in an injection molding process, thereby improving productivity and reducing costs.

Furthermore, although the entire vehicle can be recognized, the light emitting material only needs to be the outer outline portion so that the required amount of the light emitting material can be further reduced.

  In the invention which concerns on Claim 5, the fluorescent material was provided in the position of the external appearance possible outline line of a surface part, and the phosphorescent material was provided in positions other than the external appearance possible outline line of a surface part. The fluorescent material emits the absorbed light relatively strongly in a short time, while the phosphorescent material emits light weakly in a long time. Since the outer appearance-appearing line is strongly shined by the fluorescent material and the parts other than the appearance-appearing outer line are shined weakly by the phosphorescent material, the contour can be raised due to the difference in luminous intensity and have a decorative effect.

  In the invention according to claim 6, the light emitting means is an energized light emitting material. Since the energized light-emitting material is used only in the outer-appearing outline portion, the amount of the energized light-emitting material is suppressed, and the power consumption used corresponding to this is also suppressed, so that the appearance visibility is efficiently improved. be able to.

  In the invention according to claim 7, the saddle-ride type vehicle includes a regenerative motor that generates electric power during braking, and the energized light-emitting material emits light by electricity generated by the regenerative motor. The energized light-emitting material emits light when the regenerative motor generates electricity, so that the driver can recognize that the regenerative motor is regenerating, so that the so-called eco-driving can be enlightened, and fuel efficiency can be improved. it can.

When the exterior part 47 is injection-molded by film insert molding, the exterior part 47 can be obtained by placing the film 82 in advance in the mold 83 and injecting the resin into the cavity 86. That is, it is possible to manufacture the exterior component 47 to which the light emitter 80 is attached in the injection molding process, and it is possible to improve productivity and reduce costs.

As shown in FIG. 8, the light emitting means 80 is obtained by filling the exterior component 47 with the light emitting paint 80 at a position corresponding to the appearance-appearing outline 114 by injection in-mold molding. By injection-in-mold molding, the outer appearance contour line 114 is filled with the luminous body paint 80 simultaneously with the formation of the exterior part 47. Therefore, the luminous body paint 80 is efficiently integrated on the outer appearance outline 114 of the exterior part 47. And can be deposited continuously.
Further, when the exterior part 47 is injection-molded, the exterior part 47 can be obtained by injecting a resin into the cavity 108 and subsequently filling the light emitting paint 80 and then opening the mold. That is, it is possible to manufacture the exterior component 47 to which the light emitter 80 is attached in the injection molding process, and it is possible to improve productivity and reduce costs.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, at least a part of the outer appearance possible outlines 75, 77, 78, and 79 is made continuous across the plurality of exterior parts 47, so that the front view of the saddle riding type vehicle 10 and / or The saddle riding type vehicle 10 has a contour that can be seen in side view. Since the light emitting materials 76, 80 on the outer appearance possible contour lines 75, 77, 78, 79 are continuous over the plurality of exterior parts 47, the outer appearance possible outer contour lines 75, 77, 78, 79 spread over the entire vehicle. Can be recognized at dusk and at night.
Furthermore, although the entire vehicle can be recognized, the light emitting materials 76 and 80 need only have the outer appearance possible outlines 75, 77, 78 and 79, so that the required amount of the light emitting materials 76 and 80 can be further reduced. Can be planned.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the fluorescent material 80 is provided at a position of the outer appearance possible outline 81 of the surface portion 88, and the phosphorescent material 92 is provided at a position other than the outer appearance possible outline 81 of the surface 88. The fluorescent material 80 emits the absorbed light relatively strongly in a short time, while the phosphorescent material 92 emits light weakly in a long time. Since the outer appearance possible outline 81 is made to shine strongly by the fluorescent material 80 and the parts other than the appearance possible outer outline 81 are made to shine weakly by the phosphorescent material 92, the outline can be raised by the difference in luminous intensity and a decorative effect can be given.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the light emitting means 80 is an energized light emitting material 80. Since the energized light-emitting material 80 is used only in the outer-appearable outline 122 portion, the amount of the energized light-emitting material 80 is suppressed, and the power consumption used corresponding to this is also suppressed. Improvements can be made.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the saddle-ride type vehicle 10 includes a regenerative motor 41 that generates electric power during braking, and the energized light emitting material 80 emits light by electricity generated by the regenerative motor 41. Since the energized light-emitting material 80 emits light when the regenerative motor 41 generates power, the driver can recognize that the regenerative motor 41 is regenerating, so that the so-called eco-driving can be enlightened, and fuel efficiency can be improved. Can be planned.

  Incidentally, in the exterior parts of the saddle-ride type vehicle according to the present invention, in the embodiment, the appearance possible outline line is set to the position shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the outline of the vehicle can be recognized. If possible, it can be applied to other locations.

  The exterior component of the present invention is suitable for saddle riding type vehicles.
