BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a case structure for mounting an air cleaner and a battery which are functional parts in an all-terrain vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Rough-terrain vehicles, which mainly run on rough terrain such as mountains and wastelands, are operated under harsh traveling conditions such as dusting up and directly covering mud during traveling.

An air cleaner, which is a functional component equipped in this type of vehicle, is located near the engine and cleanly removes dust and mud contained in the taken air to supply sufficient combustion air required by the engine. It is also required that the battery be close to the engine so that it can be easily maintained in order to maintain its function.

In order to satisfy such requirements, an air cleaner is installed under the seat to take in combustion air from the bottom of the seat, and a battery is also installed near the air cleaner. I try to remove it.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an air cleaner case and a battery case for mounting a conventional air cleaner and a battery.

The air cleaner case 1 is of an upper opening type, and has screw holes 2 for attaching it to a vehicle body by using mounting bolts on projections 3 projecting from upper portions of both side walls of the case.

The battery case 4 is connected to the air cleaner case 1 and is provided with a mounting portion 5 for mounting on the vehicle body. As prior art, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-190190 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-11.
No. 0184, etc.

[0008]

As described above, in the conventional air cleaner case and the battery case which are separately configured, each of them needs to be individually attached to the vehicle body, so that the number of parts is reduced. Many of them make the installation work complicated, and the maintenance work for the air cleaner and the battery becomes complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an air cleaner and a battery are provided in one case of an upper opening type so as to simplify the structure and to facilitate inspection and maintenance work. It is an object of the present invention to provide a case structure for mounting a functional component of an irregular terrain vehicle.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is that it is attached to the vehicle body in an all-terrain vehicle in which left and right rear fenders are provided so as to project from the lower part of the seat. The left and right rear fender bases are made into a continuous structure, and mounting holes are opened in the rear fender continuation part located at the bottom of the seat, and the mounting holes are fully attached to the upper edge.
Fit a case with an upper end opening that has a flange of an appropriate width circumferentially
Insert the flange of the case into the rear fender of the mounting hole
Place the rear fender in close contact with the continuous part using the mounting bolts.
-It is a case structure for distributing functional parts of an all-terrain vehicle, which is tightened together with a continuous part to define a space for installing an air cleaner and a battery in the case.

[0011]

[Function] In the lower end of the seat, the upper opening type case is
The air cleaner and the battery are installed drop-in,
The distribution of these functional parts is simplified . Also, depending on the wheels
The dust, mud, water, etc. that are rolled up are blocked by the fan.
Therefore, clean air is always taken in the air cleaner.
The battery terminals are kept clean. Further, when the seat is removed, the upper part of the case is opened, and the inspection and maintenance work of these functional parts can be easily performed.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a case of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state in which the case is attached to a vehicle body, and FIG. 3 is a vertical side view of an air cleaner case in a state of being attached to the vehicle body.

In FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, reference numeral 6 denotes a frame of the vehicle body under the seat, which forms a pair of left and right at appropriate intervals. Reference numeral 7 denotes a seat attached to the frame 6, and the seat bottom plate has a central portion recessed upward. Reference numeral 8 denotes left and right rear fenders projecting from the lower part of the seat, and the bases of both rear fenders 8 attached to the frame 6 form a continuous portion 9 having a planar spread.
Reference numeral 10 is a mounting hole located in the lower portion of the seat and opened in the rear fender continuous portion 9, 11 is a case to be mounted in this mounting hole 10, and a flange 12 having an appropriate width is provided all around the upper end edge. The case 11 is fitted into the mounting hole 10 so that the flange 12 is in close contact with the surface of the rear fender continuous portion 9 around the mounting hole 10 and is tightened together with the rear fender continuous portion 9 using the mounting bolts 13 to be mounted on the frame 1. To be Reference numeral 14 is an air cleaner installation space defined in the case 11, 15 is a battery installation space similarly defined in the case 11, and an air cleaner is installed in the air cleaner installation space 14 in a drop-down manner and fixed by the upper lid 16. In addition, the battery is also installed in the battery installation space 15 in a drop-in manner, and the band 17 and the case 11 are fastened together and fixed using the mounting bolt 13.

The air taken into the air cleaner is an air passage 18 formed between the upper lid 16 and the case 11.
Is guided by meandering. In the figure, 19 is a connection port provided in the case 11 for guiding the air from the air cleaner to the engine, and is connected to the intake pipe.

[0016]

According to the present invention constructed as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

(A) At a relatively high position under the seat,
An upper-end opening type case is embedded in the rear fender continuous section with a planar spread, and the air cleaner and the battery are installed in this case in a drop-in manner, so compared to the conventional individual case configuration The number of points is reduced and the assembly work of the car body is easy and efficient.

(B) For inspection and maintenance work on the air cleaner and the battery, the upper part of the case is opened when the seat is removed, and the work can be simplified.

(C) Since the air is taken into the air cleaner from the gap formed between the upper surface of the rear fender continuous portion and the lower portion of the seat, dust and mud from the lower portion of the fender are blocked and clean air is always taken in. It is possible to supply sufficient combustion air required by the engine regardless of the driving conditions . Also, the top of the battery is from the bottom of the fender
The battery terminals are always
Be kept in Rei.
