DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for electrical components in a vehicle such as a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Electrical components, for example, fuse boxes,
Generally, it is attached via a stay below the seat or inside the easily removable portion of a cover member such as a front cowl. As an example of a motorcycle provided with a front cowl, there is Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-199888.

[0003]

By the way, when replacing a fuse in a case where a fuse box is mounted under a seat, when a load is placed on the seat, it cannot be replaced without lowering the baggage and then coming out. It will take time to exchange. In the case provided inside the cover member,
Since a cover for opening and closing is provided on the cover member and a size is required to allow a hand to enter through the opening where the cover is opened, a large layout space is required. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it easy to attach and detach electric components and to minimize the layout space to be secured inside the cover member.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an invention relating to a mounting structure for electrical components according to the present invention is provided with a cover member for covering a vehicle body, an opening communicating between the inside and outside thereof, and a cover for covering the opening. The electronic component is fixed inside the lid.

[0005]

According to the present invention, since the electric components are directly attached to the inside of the cover provided on the cover member, when the cover is opened, the electric components come out of the cover member through the opening or face the opening. Thus, the maintenance target portion such as replacement can be exposed. As a result, maintenance such as replacement of replacement parts can be performed immediately. Therefore, maintainability is significantly improved. In addition, since it is mounted inside the lid, there is no need to secure a layout space inside the cover member away from the lid, so that the space efficiency of the vehicle body can be improved. In addition, since the slack part was provided in the electric wire,
With the opening and closing of the lid, it is possible to relatively move the electric components such as entering and exiting from the opening.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a side view of a motorcycle to which this embodiment is applied, FIG. 2 is a front view of a front cowl, FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view of a main part of a front portion of a vehicle body, and FIG. FIG. 5 and FIG. 5 are sectional views corresponding to line 5-5 in FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, this motorcycle is constructed as an emergency vehicle. Reference numeral 1 is a front wheel, 2 is a pair of left and right front forks, 3 is a handle, 4 is a main frame, 5 is a center frame, 6 is a rear fork, 7 is a rear wheel, 8 is a fuel tank, and 9 is a seat.

The front part of the vehicle body is covered with a front cowl 10, and the left and right front parts are covered with side cowls 11. An engine guard 12 is provided in a left and right pair so as to project from the side cowl 11 in the left-right direction. The engine guard 12 is made of a metal pipe, has a substantially U-shape when viewed from the front, and is vertically long.
And a siren 14 are attached.

A rear cowl 15 is provided below the seat 9 at a rear portion of the vehicle body, and a trunk 16 is disposed at a side of the rear portion. A document box 17 is provided behind the seat 9, and a tail light 18 is further provided behind the document box 17. Reference numeral 19 denotes a rear warning light supported at a position higher than the seat 9 at the rear of the vehicle body.

Next, the front cowl 10 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the front cowl 10 is a member formed of an appropriate material such as plastic and covers the front of the head pipe 20. A transparent screen 21 is provided on the upper part, and a headlight opening is 22 are formed. A notch 22 is formed on the side of the handle 3 to allow the handle 3 to rotate.
Is a deck panel 2 that spreads inward as shown in FIG.
It is 5.

As shown in FIG. 4 which is a plan view showing a part of the right side of the front cowl 10 which is partially cut away, and FIG. The left and right sides of the vehicle body extend substantially in a flat plate shape in the front-rear direction. An opening 26 for maintenance is provided at the center thereof, a lid 27 for covering the opening is provided to be openable and closable, and a lock 28 at the front end is used to lock the deck panel 2.
5 is disengaged. The rear end of the lid 27 is attached to the inside of the opening 26 via a hinge 29 on the inside.

A fuse box 30 is directly mounted inside the lid 27. This fuse box 30
When the cover 27 is opened and closed, the size of the cover 27 is such that it can be integrally inserted into and removed from the opening 26. The fuse box 30 has a fuse 31 detachably attached thereto.

The rear end of the lid 27 is provided at a position overlapping with the deck panel 25 and near the connection with the side cowl 11, and the fuse box 30 has an upper end attached to the rear half of the lid 27 and extends downward. The stay 32 is attached obliquely to the lower end of the stay 32 which forms a slope. As a result, the fuse mounting surface of the fuse box 30 is obliquely rearward and downward.

The electric wire 33 extending from the fuse box 30 is connected to the front cowl 10 below the deck panel 25.
Extends to the front of the vehicle body and is wired with a meter section (not shown). The electric wire 33 is provided with a slack portion 34 so that the fuse box 30 can move integrally when the lid 27 is opened.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, when replacing the fuse 31, the lock 28
And open the lid 27 upward. Then, the fuse box 30 integrally attached to the inside of the lid 27 comes out of the opening 26 above the deck panel 25 and the bottom faces upward, so that the fuse 31 can be replaced immediately.

Thereafter, when the lid 27 is closed, the fuse box 30 moves together with the lid 27 and enters the opening 26,
FIG. 4 shows a state in which the fuse 31 mounting surface of the fuse box 30 faces downward. This makes it easier to prevent rainwater or the like from entering because the mounting surface faces downward. In addition, since the fuse box 30 is integrally attached to the inside of the lid 27, maintenance of the fuse box 30 can be performed quickly only by opening the lid 27, so that maintenance is excellent.

When the lid 27 is closed, the fuse box 30 moves the front cowl 1 below the deck panel 25.
0, and need not be provided deep inside the front cowl 10 distant from the lid 27.
It is not necessary to make the fuse box 6 large enough to be accessible, and it is not necessary to accommodate the fuse box 30 inside the front cowl 10 and to provide a layout space that can be maintained by hand through the opening 26. Therefore, space efficiency can be improved and layout can be facilitated. Moreover,
Since the slack portion 34 is provided on the electric wire 33, it is possible to relatively move the electric wire 33 in and out of the opening 26 together with opening and closing of the lid 27.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be applied and modified in various ways. If the opening 26 can be formed, the position where the fuse box 30 is provided can be any side cowl 11 or rear cowl 15. Etc. are possible. The inside means the inside of the vehicle body. In addition, the electric wire 33
Can carry a cord, a harness, and the like. Further, the electrical components are not limited to the fuse box 30 and may be any components that require maintenance. Further, when the lid is opened, the electrical component does not necessarily need to go out of the opening to the outside, and the electrical component may be directed to the vicinity of the opening from the inside of the cover member.
