Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an electric component mounted on a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, various techniques have been proposed for mounting electrical components such as a rectifier or an igniter not only on a vehicle body frame but also on a battery mounting member.

That is, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-111656 discloses a battery supporting device in which a battery can be attached to and detached from the outside of the vehicle in a battery case surrounded by a main frame of a motorcycle, a rear stay, and a rear frame below a seat. A configuration is shown in which the upper part of the battery is pressed by a supporting metal fitting fixed to the frame, and the battery side part is pressed by a hinge member rotatably supported by the main frame, and the hinge member is provided with an electrical component case. ing.

Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-75880, a battery for preventing liquid leakage is placed in a hollow frame together with other electric components on a plate and fixed by a fixing tool to be housed in the hollow frame. The configuration is shown. In this case, the electrical component is located behind the battery.

Further, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 56-25074, an electric component box is detachably attached from the side of the vehicle body to a battery storage box that can be pulled out from between two left and right vehicle body frames. The article is shown as arranged on the side of the battery.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-54684 (or Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-395), a box-shaped holder (battery holder) is provided in a triangular space surrounded by the engine body, rear wheels and upper seat. A configuration is shown in which a battery and various electrical components connected to the battery are attached to the box-shaped holder. In this case, various electric components are attached to the right side surface of the battery in the vehicle width direction.

Therefore, the conventional mounting structure for electrical equipment is, for example, FIG. 12 ((a) is a front view, (b) is a side view).
The outline is shown in. As shown in FIG. 12, the battery holder a includes two body frames b on the left and right in the vehicle width direction.
It is provided so as to be hung between the vehicle body frame b, that is, in the state where the left and right mounting pieces a1 are located on the vehicle body frame b, the mounting piece a1 is screwed to the vehicle body frame b via an elastic member c such as so-called H rubber. Battery holder a
Is fixed, and the battery d is mounted in the battery holder a. In addition, the attachment of the electric component is performed by the side portion (either the left or right side) of the battery holder a as indicated by reference numeral e in FIG.
It was to be installed by being attached to the rear part.

[0008]

By the way, a motorcycle has almost no wasted space, and conversely, a structure having no waste produces a certain kind of aesthetic appearance. Therefore, there is a strong demand for effective use of space when mounting electrical components. However, the conventional mounting structure as shown in FIG. 12 has a problem that it is still insufficient when the left, right, front and rear side surfaces of the battery holder are narrow.

Among the electrical components of the frame, the rectifier and the igniter are relatively heavy. Therefore, when the rectifier or the like is attached to the side surface of the battery as in the prior art, the center of gravity of the battery holder is difficult to set, so that the load is not evenly applied in the vehicle width direction, and the battery holder is attached to the frame. There is a problem that the elastic member such as H rubber interposed in the plate is deformed to be biased to the left and right.

Further, the motorcycle has a frame cover attached to cover the lower side of the seat and the side of the frame, and the attachment plate of the conventional frame cover and the attachment plate of electrical equipment are independent of each other. However, when the clearance between the frame cover and the electrical component is small, there is a problem that the frame cover and the electrical component may come into contact with each other if the dimensional accuracy of each mounting plate and the frame cover alone is poor.

Further, when the clearance between the frame cover and the electrical components is small, there is a problem that the frame cover may easily come into contact with the electrical components and be damaged when the frame cover is deformed when the vehicle falls over or the like. .

The brake oil reservoir tank may be attached adjacent to the battery holder or may be attached to itself. Usually, each plate for the reservoir tank and the battery holder is taken out from the frame, and the plate is used to separately attach the battery holder and the reservoir tank to the frame, or the bracket is fastened to the battery holder attachment part together and the bracket is attached to the bracket. There were times when I installed a reservoir tank. However, in the structure in which the reservoir tank is mounted as in the conventional case, the number of parts is increased. In addition, a brake oil reservoir tank is sometimes attached to the battery holder (Shokai 59-57295, etc.). However, in this way, in the battery holder a which is floated by the elastic member c,
If the reservoir tank g is mounted via the mounting bracket f, the elastic member is burdened.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for an electric component of a motorcycle which can surely make effective use of the space of the motorcycle. Another object of the present invention is to provide an attachment structure for an electric component of a motorcycle, in which the position of the center of gravity of the battery holder can be easily set, and thus the elastic member can be evenly loaded. Also,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for an electric component of a motorcycle, which can prevent the frame cover and the electric component from coming into contact with each other even if the clearance is small, and does not require strict dimensional accuracy.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following constitution. That is, according to the present invention, in an electrical component mounting structure for mounting electrical components on a motorcycle, one set of frame members is arranged in the vehicle width direction below the seat of the motorcycle, and has one piece projecting in the vehicle width direction. A battery holder is attached to the frame member by fixing the one part to the one set of frame members, and an electric component, for example, a rectifier or an igniter is attached to a lower surface of the battery holder, and an electric component of a motorcycle. It is the attachment structure of the product.

Further, according to the present invention, in a mounting structure of an electric component for mounting an electric component to a motorcycle, the electric component is attached to a mounting bracket for attaching a frame cover for covering the outside of the vehicle body to the body frame. It is a mounting structure of electrical components of.

[0016]

[Function] The lower surface of the battery holder and the periphery of the mounting bracket of the frame cover have a space in terms of space. If you install electrical equipment here, you can effectively use the space of the motorcycle. Further, since no mounting plate or the like is required, the number of parts can be reduced.

Further, when the electrical component is a rectifier or an igniter, they are heavy as described above, so that if they are attached to the lower surface of the battery holder, the center of gravity is easily taken and the elastic member of the battery holder is biased. It will not deform.

If the electrical components are also attached to the attachment brackets for attaching the frame cover to the vehicle body frame, the distance between them is unlikely to change, so that
Even if the dimensional accuracy of the frame cover is low, the mounting accuracy does not easily deteriorate. Also, the clearance can be reduced. Further, there is no fear that the electrical components will come into contact with the frame cover when the frame is deformed.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. A first embodiment of a mounting structure for an electric component of a motorcycle according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the configuration around the battery holder.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a main frame 8 is disposed between the front wheels 4a and the rear wheels 4b of the motorcycle so as to support the engine 6 and the like. A pair of rear frames 12a and 12b are arranged on the left and right in the vehicle width direction. Further, the battery holder 14 has a piece portion 14a1 protruding in the vehicle body width direction, the piece portion 14a1 is fixed to the pair of rear frames 12a and 12b, and the battery holder 14 is mounted between the rear frames 12a and 12b. To be done. A rectifier or igniter 16 is attached to the lower surface of the battery holder 14. The frame member to which the battery holder 14 is attached is not limited to the one with the name of the rear frame.

The rear frames 12a and 12b are connected to each other by a connecting member 18 at a rear portion above the wheels, and extend rearward and downward from the connecting portion 18a, and are fixed to a lower portion of the main frame 8 at a rear stay 20.
Are connected.

6 and 7 are a perspective view and a front view of the battery holder 14 (viewed in the direction A in FIG. 6). As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the battery holder 14 is a substantially U-shaped band plate that opens upward, and a main body 14a having a piece portion 14a1 that opens outward at the upper end thereof. Body 1
A fence part 1 that connects a pair of parts along the top and bottom of 4a at the top and bottom
4b and. The battery holder 14 is inserted between the rear frames 12a and 12b from above, and the piece portion 14a1 is made of an elastic member (made of rubber or the like) 2
It is fixed by a screw member (bolt or the like) 24 so as to ride on the rear frames 12a and 12b via the two.

The screwed mounting piece 14a1
Is shown in detail in FIG. The through hole 14a2 having a diameter larger than the diameter of the screw portion of the screw member 24 is provided. The elastic member 22 is, for example, so-called H rubber. That is, two thick circular plates having a diameter larger than that of the head portion of the screw member 24 are stacked, and the central portion thereof has a connecting portion,
In addition, at the center of the connecting portion, there is a hole penetrating in the vertical direction, through which the screw portion of the screw member 24 can pass. The piece 14a1 is attached to the rear frames 12a and 12b.
When attaching to the rear frame 12a, the connecting portion of the elastic member 22 is inserted into the through hole 14a2 of the attaching piece portion 14a1 and the thick plate sandwiches the piece portion 14a1 from above and below. And 12b, the screw member 24 is inserted through the central hole of the elastic member 22, and screwed to the welding nuts 24a of the rear frames 12a and 12b. A cylindrical spacer 24b and a disk-shaped washer 24c are interposed between the screw member 24 and the elastic member 22 for screwing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a mounting member 26 having a mounting piece portion 26a that falls from the lower surface while opening in the left-right direction and is parallel to the lower surface is provided at substantially left and right ends of the lower surface of the battery holder 14. It is fixed. The rectifier or the like 16 is screwed to the mounting piece portion 26a to attach the mounting member 26 and the battery holder 14 to each other.
Fixed to the underside of.

In the first embodiment, the fuse box 30 is connected to the battery holder 1 as shown by the broken line in FIG.
Attach it to the back of 4. This is because the fuse box 30 is for opening the upper lid and replacing the fuse, and therefore the fuse box 30 must be installed at a position where it can be opened upwards, and therefore, when the seat 10 is opened upwards, it faces upwards. This is because it must be installed at this position behind the holder 14. Therefore, electrical components other than the fuse box, such as the rectifier or the igniter 16, cannot be attached to the rear of the battery holder 14. Further, the distance between the rear fender front 32 attached to the rear of the rear stay 20 and the air cleaner 34 in front of the battery holder 14 is narrow, and the space in front of and behind the battery holder 14 is narrow. Therefore, by mounting the rectifier or igniter 16 on the lower portion (lower surface) of the battery holder 14, it is possible to effectively utilize the space.

Further, since the rectifier or igniter 16 as an electrical component is attached to the lower surface of the battery holder 14, the center of gravity of the battery holder 14 can be easily taken, and the elastic member 22 supporting the piece portion 14a of the battery holder 14 can be left and right or The load biased in the front and rear is no longer applied, and the elastic member 2
Deformation biased to 2 will not occur. On the other hand, when these rectifiers and igniters are attached to the rear or side of the battery holder as in the prior art, it is difficult to set the position of the center of gravity of the entire battery holder, but this does not occur in the present invention. .

The brake oil reservoir tank may be attached adjacent to the battery holder or may be attached to itself. Usually, each plate for the reservoir tank and the battery holder is attached so as to come out from the frame, the battery holder and the reservoir tank are separately attached to the frame by the plate, or the bracket is jointly fastened to the battery holder attachment portion, There are times when a reservoir tank is attached to the bracket. However, in such a structure in which the reservoir tank is attached, the number of parts increases. Further, it has been conventionally proposed to attach a brake oil reservoir tank to the battery holder (the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-57295, etc.), but as shown in FIG. 12, the battery holder a floated by the elastic member c is used. In many cases, the reservoir tank g is mounted via the mounting bracket f, which puts a burden on the elastic member.

Here, in the first embodiment, as shown in detail in FIGS. 2 to 5, particularly in FIG. 5, the brake oil reservoir tank 36 for the rear brake is provided in the rear stay 20.
Is attached to the first arm portion 38a extending downward along the rear stay 20 of the mounting bracket 38 projecting from above. A mounting hole 38b is formed in the upper portion of the bracket 38, and a screw member 38c is inserted through the mounting hole 38b to screw the right side surface portion of the battery holder 14 in the vehicle traveling direction. Furthermore, the bracket 3
A second arm 38d extending upward along the rear stay 20 is formed on the rear stay 20, and an electric component such as a turn signal relay is provided at the tip of the second arm 38d so as to cover the second arm 38d. Insert the tubular portion 40a of 40 to insert the bracket 3
The electrical component 40 is fixed to the unit 8. The battery holder 1
For mounting 4, the elastic member 38d such as H rubber and the spacer 38e are interposed in the screw member 38c.

In this mounting structure of the reservoir tank 36, since it is not necessary to separately mount a plate for mounting the reservoir tank 36, the number of parts can be reduced, the mounting labor is reduced, and the labor and cost are reduced. Can be achieved. Moreover, since the reservoir tank 36 is not attached to the battery holder 14,
The elastic member is not burdened and the life of the elastic member is extended.

Next, the second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment has a structure for mounting an electric component of a motorcycle in which a frame cover for covering the outside of the vehicle body is attached to a mounting bracket for mounting the electric component.

9 and 10 are exploded perspective views showing details of the frame covers 42a and 42b and the mounting bracket 44 thereof according to the second embodiment. As shown in Figure 9,
For example, frame covers 42a and 42b made of resin or the like
Covers the left and right rear frames 12a and 12b, and is fixed to the rear frames 12a and 12b by screwing to a bracket 44 fixed to the rear stay 20. The brackets 44 are fixed to the left and right rear stays 20 in the vehicle traveling direction, and each has a left bracket 44a and a right bracket 44b.

As shown in FIG. 9, the left bracket 44a is provided with a screw hole 44a1 in a portion protruding leftward, and an arm portion 44a2 is formed protruding substantially along the rear stay 20. This arm 44a
The tubular portion 46a of the electrical component 46 such as a turn signal relay is inserted into the tip of the second portion so as to cover it, and the electrical component 46 is fixed to the bracket 44a. The frame cover 42a is screwed to the screw member 45 by interposing a so-called parling washer 45a. The cross-sectional structure of the frame cover 42a attached is as shown in FIG. The seat 10 has an upper end of the frame cover 42a.
It is attached so that it sunk down. Further, a clearance is provided between the electric component and the frame cover 42a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the bracket 44b on the right side has three holes 44 along the rear stay 20.
It is made of a plate material having b1 to 44b3 and has a lower hole portion 44.
The frame cover 42b is attached to b1, and electrical components such as the rectifier 48 are screwed to the upper holes 44b2 and 44b3. This screwing is also performed by interposing a paring washer 50a on the screw member 50.

According to the second embodiment, since the electrical components are also attached to the attachment brackets 44a and 44b for attaching the frame covers 42a and 42b to the vehicle body frame, the interval between them is unlikely to change, so that Even if the dimensional accuracy of the frame covers 42a and 42b is low, the mounting accuracy is unlikely to deteriorate. Also, the clearance can be reduced. Further, there is no fear that the electrical components will come into contact with the frame cover when the frame is deformed.
