In the cross-sectional view of fig. 6 (when viewed from the connection direction Vc of fig. 5), the ECU30 and the connector 40 have a long side Ls and a short side Ss, respectively. In the cross-sectional view of fig. 6, the support member 50 is disposed so as to overlap the long side Ls of the connector 40. In the embodiment, the support member 50 is disposed so as to overlap the long side Ls and the short side Ss of the connector 40, respectively.

As shown in fig. 4, the support member 50 includes: an inverted U-shaped left support plate 51 for supporting the left connector 40; an inverted U-shaped right support plate 52 that is separated from the left support plate 51 in the vehicle width direction and supports the right connector 40; a front connecting plate 53 extending in the vehicle width direction and connecting a front lower end of the left support plate 51 and a front lower end of the right support plate 52; and a rear connecting plate 54 extending parallel to the front connecting plate 53 and connecting the rear lower end of the left support plate 51 and the rear lower end of the right support plate 52. The left support plate 51, the right support plate 52, the front connecting plate 53, and the rear connecting plate 54 are integrally formed by the same member.

As shown in fig. 7, the left support plate 51 and the right support plate 52 support the outer peripheral frame portion 43 of each connector 40. In the cross-sectional view of fig. 7, the support plates 51 and 52 are disposed at the center of the outer peripheral frame portion 43 of each connector 40. In the cross-sectional view of fig. 7, the support plates 51 and 52 are disposed between the ECU30 and the main body portion 42 in the vehicle width direction. In the cross-sectional view of fig. 7, the support plates 51 and 52 are disposed at positions avoiding the ECU30 and the main body 42. In the cross-sectional view of fig. 7, the support plates 51 and 52 are disposed at positions overlapping the accommodating spaces 35 of the card edge terminals 34.

An elastic member 59 is attached to each of the support plates 51 and 52. The elastic member 59 is formed of, for example, rubber, sponge, or the like. As shown in fig. 6, the elastic member 59 is provided in each of the support plates 51 and 52 (only the right support plate 52 is shown in fig. 6) at a portion overlapping the long side Ls of each connector 40. The elastic member 59 is disposed between the support plates 51 and 52 and the connectors 40 in the vertical direction. As shown in fig. 7, the elastic member 59 is disposed so as to be accommodated within the width of each of the support plates 51 and 52.

As shown in fig. 4, the front linking plate 53 is provided with a projection 55 (hereinafter also referred to as "front projection 55") for positioning the support member 50. The front projection 55 projects forward from the front center of the front connecting plate 53.

The rear linking plate 54 is provided with a rear protrusion 56 for fixing the support member 50. The rear projection 56 is provided with an insertion hole 57 through which a shaft portion of a bolt 69 can be inserted.

< air Filter >

As shown in fig. 2, the air cleaner 60 is disposed so as to cover the engine 10 (see fig. 1) as a heat source from above. The upper portion of the air cleaner 60 bulges upward from the left and right main frames 22. A recess 61 is provided in the upper rear portion of the air cleaner 60 so as to be recessed to accommodate the ECU30 and the two connectors 40. The recess 61 is provided with a mounting area 62 on which the ECU30, the two connectors 40, and the single support member 50 are mounted. In a plan view of fig. 3, the placement region 62 has a rectangular shape having long sides in the vehicle width direction.

As shown in fig. 6, a second recess 63 recessed to accommodate the front projection 55 of the support member 50 is provided at the upper rear portion of the air cleaner 60. The second recess 63 is disposed in front of the mounting area 62. In the cross-sectional view of fig. 6, the formation portion of the second recess 63 includes a rising portion 64 rising upward from the placement region 62, and a rearward extending portion 65 extending rearward from an upper end of the rising portion 64. In the cross-sectional view of fig. 6, the vertical interval between the rearward extension 65 and the placement region 62 coincides with the opening interval of the second recess 63. The front projection 55 of the support member 50 is accommodated in the second recess 63, and the front projection 55 is sandwiched from above and below by the rear extension 65 and the placement region 62, so that the support member 50 can be positioned in the up-down direction.

As shown in fig. 4, the formation portion of the second recess 63 further includes a pair of left and right side wall portions 66 that connect the left and right ends of the rearward extending portion 65 to the placement area 62. The front projecting portion 55 of the support member 50 is accommodated in the second recessed portion 63, and the front projecting portion 55 is sandwiched between the left and right side wall portions 66, so that the support member 50 can be positioned in the vehicle width direction. Further, since the front connecting plate 53 of the support member 50 abuts against the rear ends of the left and right side wall portions 66, the support member 50 can be positioned in the front-rear direction.

As shown in fig. 3, a first pressing member 71 that presses the frame function harness 46 and a second pressing member 72 that presses the engine function harness 47 may be provided at the upper rear portion of the air cleaner 60. Since the frame function harness 46 and the engine function harness 47 are pressed against the air cleaner 60, the vibration phases of the frame function harness 46 and the engine function harness 47 are the same phase, and thus the structure is more resistant to vibration.

As described above, the control unit arrangement structure 29 of the above embodiment includes the ECU30 mounted on the motorcycle 1 and the two connectors 40 connected to the ECU30, the ECU30 includes the two locking terminals 34 for transmitting the electric signal, the two locking terminals 34 are connected to the two connectors 40, respectively, the outer periphery of the ECU30 is arranged inside the outer periphery of the connector 40 when viewed from the connection direction Vc of the locking terminals 34 and the connector 40, and the control unit arrangement structure 29 includes the single support member 50 for supporting the two connectors 40.

According to this configuration, by providing the single support member 50 that supports the two connectors 40, the phases of vibration of the two connectors 40 become the same phase with each other, and therefore resonance of the respective connectors 40 can be suppressed. Thereby, the ECU30 is restrained from moving relative to each connector 40. Therefore, the vibration resistance of the ECU30 can be improved.

In the above-described embodiment, the support member 50 is disposed so as to overlap the long side Ls of the connector 40 when viewed from the connection direction Vc of the card edge terminal 34 and the connector 40, and the following effects are obtained. A wide range of the connectors 40 can be supported by the support member 50, and therefore resonance of each connector 40 can be more effectively suppressed.

In the above-described embodiment, the support member 50 is disposed so as to overlap the long side Ls and the short side Ss of the connector 40, respectively, when viewed in the connection direction Vc, and the following effects are obtained. The resonance of each connector 40 can be suppressed more effectively than in the case where the support member 50 is disposed so as to overlap only the long side Ls of the connector 40. That is, vibration suppression in all directions is effective.

In the above embodiment, the ECU30 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and the two card edge terminals 34 are disposed on opposite sides of the ECU30, respectively, to achieve the following effects. The ECU30 can be stably supported as compared to the case where the two card edge terminals 34 are disposed only on one side of the ECU 30.

In the above embodiment, the ECU30 is disposed at the center of the vehicle in a plan view, and the two connectors 40 are disposed on the left and right sides of the ECU30 with the ECU30 interposed therebetween, thereby providing the following effects. The arrangement length of the left and right harnesses 46, 47 connected to each connector 40 can be shortened as compared with the case where the ECU30 is arranged at a position displaced from the vehicle center position in plan view. Further, the right-left weight balance of the vehicle can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the air cleaner 60 disposed above the engine 10 is further provided, and the ECU30 is provided above the air cleaner 60, so that the following effects are obtained. Since ECU30 can be separated from engine 10, thermal influence on ECU30 can be suppressed.

In the above embodiment, the recess 61 recessed to accommodate the ECU30 and the two connectors 40 is provided in the upper portion of the air cleaner 60, and the following effects are obtained. Positioning can be easily performed by housing the ECU30 and the two connectors 40 in the recess 61.

In the above embodiment, the front protrusion 55 for positioning the support member 50 is provided on the support member 50, and the second recess 63 recessed to accommodate the front protrusion 55 is provided on the upper portion of the air cleaner 60, thereby achieving the following effects. By housing the front projection 55 in the second recess 63, positioning can be easily performed.
