Description

ELECTRIC BOX ASSEMBLY FOR A MOTORCYCLE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The subject matter described herein generally refers to an electrical box assembly for a motorcycle and specifically refers to a motorcycle provided with an electrical box which is arranged under a box for various purposes, and is adapted to allocate and Provide easy access to various electrical components.

BACKGROUND

On a conventional step-through motorcycle, electrical components such as the ignition system, capacitive discharge ignition system (CDI), battery, starter contact relay, flasher relay, fuse, horn, etc. are mounted separately. Some of the components are mounted on the chassis brackets while a few components are mounted in an electrical box. However, not all components are assembled in one place. For example, the battery is usually packaged between the box spaces for various purposes and the fuel tank, or is mounted on the sides of the rear wheel.

Such a scattered arrangement of electrical components on the motorcycle makes accessibility and maintainability of electrical parts difficult. In addition, in such an arrangement, access to any motorcycle-specific electrical component typically requires disassembly or disruption of the location or operation or both of another nearby electrical component whose access is not intended.

Conventionally, the motorcycle's electrical box is capable of housing only a limited number of electrical components. Additionally, in the conventional arrangement, the electrical box is normally mounted to the chassis by at least two screws. Therefore, disassembling the entire electrical box from the motorcycle becomes a difficult, tedious and time consuming process.

Sensitive electrical components, such as the fuse, are highly likely to be repeatedly extinguished. In the conventional arrangement, as described above, replacing these components is again a time consuming and difficult process.

Therefore, providing an electrical box set with a focus on design for ease of repair (DFS) and design for assembly (DFA) becomes a challenge. There is a need for a provision for mounting the electrical box by means of fastening as little as possible thereby reducing replacement and service time, regardless of the reduction in assembly and production costs.

An additional challenge is to provide a layout that has most of the electrical components mounted and secured in a single area on the motorcycle to provide easy access to the individual electrical component (s) without disrupting the location and operation of other electrical components whose access It is not intended. Additionally, another challenge is to provide a layout that allows direct access to the fuses of the electrical component (s) for easy replacement.

SUMMARY

The subject matter described here refers to an electrical box assembly in which several electrical components of a motorcycle are assembled and fixed in one place. This allows easy direct access to the individual electrical component (s) without interfering with the location and operation of other electrical components that are not intended for access.

The subject matter described herein also relates to obtaining an arrangement that provides easy direct access to the fuses of the electrical components thereby enabling direct replacement of the fuse. Additionally, the subject matter described herein is directed to the provision of a layout wherein the assembly of various motorcycle electrical components is done in a single location located on the motorcycle chassis and maintained with a minimum number of bolts.

In accordance with one aspect of the present subject matter, the electrical box assembly includes an electrical box mounted in a substantially downward direction on the main tube of the motorcycle chassis by means of a single mounting bolt and a pair of non-moving registers. . In addition, the electrical box is rigidly secured within the left and right frame of the motorcycle chassis by means of a pair of symmetrically placed anti-move registers to stop lateral movement of the electrical box. The arrangement of the registers, as would be obvious to those skilled in the art, need not necessarily be symmetrical.

The electrical box, according to one embodiment of the present subject matter, is made up of six prefabricated partitions to accommodate the various electrical components of the motorcycle such as the capacitive discharge ignition (CDI) system, battery, starter contact relay, flasher relay, fuse, horn, etc. These electrical components are mounted or pressure mounted within the electrical box partitions and therefore without fasteners. The method of disposing or retaining the electrical components in the electrical box partitions, as would be obvious to those skilled in the art, is not limited to the present embodiment and may change without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

The electrical box illustrated in the present embodiment provides easy and direct access to the electrical components by disassembling the box for various purposes. The multipurpose case is arranged below the seat and mounted to the left and right frames of the motorcycle chassis by bolts.

The electrical box illustrated in the present embodiment also provides easy and direct access to each electrical component placed in the electrical box without disrupting the location and operation of other electrical components, the access of which is not intended.

The fact that the electrical box is mounted to the chassis with just one screw and a pair of anti-move registers also makes it easier and less time consuming to disassemble the entire electrical box from the motorcycle if desired.

According to another aspect of the present subject matter, selective access to a miniature electrical component such as a fuse in the electrical box is provided through a detachable split lid which is disposed without any screw in an opening in the bottom surface of the housing. various purposes. In cases where only one fuse replacement is required, such provision is better compared to the conventional tedious and time consuming method of accessing the fuse. While the present embodiments illustrate only such split lid, there may be several such split caps in the box for various purposes, as may be obvious to those skilled in the art.

These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present subject matter will be better understood with reference to the following description and appended claims. This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form. This summary is not intended to identify fundamental characteristics or essential characteristics of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
