Boarding detection structure for vehicle

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a boarding detection structure for a vehicle which is low cost and reliably detects seating of the rider. A boarding detection structure for a vehicle includes an occupant seat (52) in which the rider and pillion passenger can be seated tandem and which is formed integrally, and seating sensors (63) that detect seating of the rider. The seating sensors (63) are arranged below the front end portion of the occupant seat (52) and below the vicinity of the longitudinally central portion of the occupant seat (52). The seating sensors are covered by the support member (71) and the longitudinal wall (24v), the support member (71) is used to install the seat sensors, and the longitudinal wall is located on the accommodating box (24) below the occupant seat (52). The seating sensors (63) are arranged in such a way that their actuation directions are oriented in the height direction of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an improvement of a vehicle occupancy detection structure having an occupancy sensor for detecting that a driver is occupancy. Background technique [0002] In recent years, vehicles such as motorcycles have an idling stop function that stops the engine from idling when the throttle is returned while waiting for a traffic light or the like. In a vehicle having this function, a seat sensor for detecting that the driver is sitting may be installed on the saddle on which the driver is sitting. [0003] The seating sensor is used to detect that the driver is sitting on the saddle. When the vehicle is moving forward, when the throttle is opened, the seating detection by the seating sensor becomes one of the conditions for starting the engine. [0004] In a vehicle with an idling stop function, there is known a vehicle riding detection structure (for example, refer to Patent Document 1.), which has a saddle for the driver a...

[0014] However, the sheet-shaped saddle switch 25 is generally called a pressure-sensitive element switch, because an element converting pressure into an electric signal is built in it, so it is different from a common Compared with mechanical switches, the price is high, and because it is arranged on the buffer part in the saddle, it takes time to install, and it must also be considered to avoid affecting the buffer performance of the saddle
