Abstract
There is provided a straddle-type vehicle including: a battery case having an accommodation space that accommodates a battery pack and an opening for attaching and detaching the battery pack via the opening that opens the accommodation space; a pressing mechanism including an abutting member capable of abutting the battery pack in a state where the battery pack is accommodated in the accommodation space of the battery case, and a retainer that holds the abutting member abutting the battery pack while pressing the abutting member toward the battery pack; and a lid body connected to the battery case while bypassing the pressing mechanism and that opens and closes the opening of the battery case.
Claims15
A straddle-type vehicle comprising:
- a battery case having an accommodation space that accommodates a battery pack and an opening for attaching and detaching the battery pack via the opening that opens the accommodation space;
- a pressing mechanism including an inner lid capable of abutting the battery pack in a state where the battery pack is accommodated in the accommodation space of the battery case, and a retainer that holds the inner lid abutting the battery pack while pressing the inner lid toward the battery pack;
- and
- an outer lid connected to the battery case while bypassing the pressing mechanism and that opens and closes the opening of the battery case.
A straddle-type vehicle comprising:
- a battery pack configured to store electric power;
- a battery support that supports the battery pack from below;
- and
- a pressing mechanism including an abutting member capable of abutting the battery pack in a state where the battery pack is supported by the battery support, and configured to press the abutting member abutting the battery pack toward the battery pack, wherein
- the pressing mechanism includes:
- a rod-shaped portion,
- a locking portion that is rotatable about an axis of the rod-shaped portion and protrudes from one end of the rod-shaped portion in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and that is displaceable between a locking position where the abutting member is locked to the battery support and an unlocking position where the locking is released,
- a pressing portion that is displaceable between a pressing position where the abutting member is pressed against the battery pack and a pressing-released position where the pressing is released, and
- an operator configured to displace the locking portion and the pressing portion.
A straddle-type vehicle comprising:
- a battery case having an accommodation space that accommodates a battery pack and an opening for attaching and detaching the battery pack via the opening that opens the accommodation space;
- a pressing mechanism including an abutting member capable of abutting the battery pack in a state where the battery pack is accommodated in the accommodation space of the battery case, and a retainer that holds the abutting member abutting the battery pack while pressing the abutting member toward the battery pack;
- and
- a lid body connected to the battery case while bypassing the pressing mechanism and that opens and closes the opening of the battery case, wherein
- the pressing mechanism is disposed on a first side in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the battery pack is pressed, and
- the battery case includes an engaging portion that engages with the abutting member on a second side opposite to the first side in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the battery pack is pressed, with the battery pack arranged between the first side and the second side.
