Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an arrangement structure for audio equipment in a motorcycle.

Recently, there has been a trend toward luxury motorcycles, and motorcycles equipped with audio equipment such as radio receivers are already known. In a motorcycle equipped with such audio equipment, the audio equipment is required to have excellent operability.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement structure for audio equipment in a motorcycle in which audio equipment is arranged in a layout with excellent operability.

In order to achieve this object, the operating section and the display section of the audio device in the motorcycle according to the present invention are separated from the main body of the audio device, and the operating section is placed near the left grip of the handlebar, and the display section is placed inside the front cowl from the screen section. The configuration is such that the audio device itself is placed below the motorcycle's head pipe and below the handlebars.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a motorcycle according to the present invention seen from a riding position, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show left and right side views. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front cowl equipped with a transparent screen 2. The cowl 1 consists of an outer plate and an inner plate, and is integrated with the vehicle body.
It is separate from the. A space is defined by the outer and inner plates of the front cowl 1, and the space located on the right side of the vehicle body contains a radio unit main body 4 and a transceiver unit main body 5, which are audio equipment main bodies.
and the power amplifier 6 etc. are the radio controller 7,
It is housed below the handlebar 3, separated from the operating parts such as the transceiver controller 8, and since these audio equipment bodies generate a larger amount of heat than the operating parts, the air duct hole 18 provided in the front cowl 1 is located nearby. On the other hand, the radio controller 7 is located in the space located on the left side of the vehicle body.
A cassette player 1 is installed near the bottom of the left grip 3A of the handle 3, together with a transceiver controller 8, an intercom controller 9, an antenna distributor 10, and a multi-changer 11.
2 is stored. In particular, the operating parts of the radio controller 7 and cassette player 12 are located on the handle 3.
It is located directly below the left grip 3A.

Further, the front cowl 1 has at least two continuous upper surfaces, and is formed such that the rear surface 1B has a larger inclination angle than the front surface 1A in the running direction. The aforementioned radio controller 7 is arranged on the inclined surface 1B so that the lower part of the operating surface is located closer to the center of the vehicle body than the upper part.

The cassette player 12, as shown in FIG.
It is attached to the inclined surface 1A at the front side of the front cowl 1 so as to be inclined with respect to the vehicle body in the running direction, and is arranged in tandem with the radio controller 7. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the eject button 13 of the cassette player 12 is arranged outside the cassette insertion opening 14 with respect to the vehicle body, thereby improving the operability of the cassette player 12. That is, when the eject button 13 is pressed with the middle finger of the left hand, the ejected cassette half (not shown) is always returned to the palm of the left hand, thereby preventing it from flying out.

15 and 16 are a radio select switch and a transceiver talk switch attached near the left grip 3A of the handle 3, and 17 is a fuel tank. As shown in FIG. 2, the radio select switch 15 is mounted in a mirror mounting hole (not shown) through a fixture 35, as shown in FIG. ing. 1
9L and 19R are left and right speakers, and 20 is a meter panel equipped with various indicators such as audio equipment.
It is disposed at a position above a head pipe (not shown) of the motorcycle to which the handlebar 3 is attached at a lower position.

4 is a perspective view showing the cassette player in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the cassette player in FIG.
A sectional view taken along the line A, and a sectional view taken along the line B--B are shown in FIG. 6, respectively. Reference numeral 21 denotes an inner case that houses the player body 12, and the case 21 supports the player body 12 in a floating manner via a vibration isolating member such as a vibration isolating rubber 22.
A seal rubber 23 is interposed between the top panel of the player body 12 and the top opening of the inner case 21 to provide waterproof measures to prevent rainwater from entering the case. The outer case 24 housing the inner case 21 is fixed to the front cowl 1 at its upper surface by screws 25 as fixing means. The screw 25 is a flange 21 provided on the inner case 21 as a cover member so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the player body 12 and the inner case 21 are housed in the outer case 24.
Covered by A.

26 is a locking means for locking the player main body 12 to the vehicle body, and the locking means 26
are provided on the inner case 21 so as not to impair the vibration-proofing effect of the vibration-proofing rubber 22.
By inserting the inner case 21 into the outer case 24, the locking means 26 locks the lock claw 26A.
is the engaging portion 24A provided on the outer case 24.
When engaged, it becomes locked.

As described above, the inner case 21 is inclined so that the front side in the running direction is higher with respect to the car body, just as the player main body 12 is inclined with respect to the car body in the running direction, and a stepped portion 21B located at the upper end. The crank 2 is provided with a locking means 26 on the outer case 24.
As shown in FIG. 4, holes 29A and 29B are formed at the lower end of the player body 8 to be engaged with the player body 12 so that the player body 12 can be inserted and lifted up when the player body 12 is removed from the vehicle body.

In the player main body 12, a cassette lid 30 can be opened and closed on the outside of the cassette insertion opening 14 in order to prevent rainwater etc. from entering the inside of the main body. A seal rubber 31 as a waterproof member is provided,
Furthermore, a tapered convex portion 32 is formed around the insertion port 14. The cassette lid 30 is opened and closed by a link 33. 34 is a cover that covers the operation section of the player body 12, and the cover 34 is an outer cover 34A that is detachable from the player body 12.
and an inner cover 34B that is slidable with respect to the outer cover 34A. Then, attach the outer cover 34A so that it is located above the cassette insertion opening 14, and
By sliding the inner cover 34B on the inner cover 4A, the operation section is appropriately covered.

As described in detail above, in the arrangement structure of the audio equipment in the motorcycle according to the present invention, the operation section and the display section of the audio equipment are separated from the audio equipment main body,
Since the operating section is located near the left grip of the steering wheel, the audio equipment can be easily operated while driving. In addition, the display is located in a position that is easily visible to the driver.
That is, since it is disposed within the front cowl at a position below the screen section and above the head pipe of the motorcycle, the driver can visually recognize the display section without significantly shifting his or her line of sight from the front field of view. Therefore, not only excellent visibility can be obtained, but also the above-mentioned excellent operability of the operating section makes it easy to adjust the audio equipment. Furthermore, since the main body of the audio device is disposed below the handlebar, the center of gravity of the entire motorcycle can be kept low.
