Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a battery mounting device for a two-wheeled motor vehicle.

(Prior Art) As a conventional device of this kind, a battery mounting portion is provided protruding from the side of an air cleaner case that is placed below the seat rail of a motorcycle.
It is known that a battery can be freely attached to and removed from the mounting section from the lateral direction, and in this case, the surface of the mounting section on which the battery is placed is generally formed to be substantially flat.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional device described above, since the battery is relatively heavy, it is preferable to support it from the bottom when attaching and detaching the battery. Since the mounting surface of the mounting section is approximately flat, there is not enough space between the bottom of the battery and the mounting surface to insert a finger when the battery is placed, and there is no sheet on the top of the mounting section. Due to the position of the rail, it is not possible to lift the battery enough to fit a finger into the battery, and as a result, it is difficult to carry out the task.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device that eliminates such inconveniences.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a battery mounting section on the side of the air cleaner case, which is located below the seat rail of a motorcycle. A concave portion having a size that allows a finger to be inserted into the battery mounting surface of the mounting portion that is opened in the lateral direction, in which the battery can be attached and removed from the lateral direction of the mounting portion. It is characterized by the formation of

(Example) The invention will now be described with reference to illustrated embodiments.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates a vehicle body equipped with front and rear wheels 2, 2, an engine 3 in the middle of the vehicle body 1, a fuel tank 4 above it, and a passenger seat 5 located behind the tank 4. were arranged to form a motorcycle as a whole.

An air cleaner case 6 is disposed below the seat rail 1a of the vehicle body 1 on which the passenger seat 5 is placed, and a mounting portion 8 for the battery 7 is provided protruding from the side of the case 6. , the mounting section 8
The battery 7 can be attached and detached from the lateral direction.

That is, as clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mounting section 8 is composed of a support wall that is approximately inverted L-shaped in side view and extends integrally from the bottom of the air cleaner case 6 and the front thereof. The upper surface of the bottom of the support wall was used as a mounting surface 8a for the battery 7, and the battery 7 was placed thereon and held immovably by a presser 9.

The presser 9 consists of a base 9a bent in an L shape and a presser piece 9b attached to the base 9a via a hinge, and the presser is fixed to the rear side surface of the air cleaner case 6 at the base 9a. With,
A bolt 9c is fastened to the front end of the support wall at the end of the holding piece 9b, so that the battery 7 is immovably held against the mounting portion 8.

In the drawings, reference numeral 10 indicates a side cover of a two-wheeled motor vehicle, reference numeral 11 indicates a mounting stay for the air cleaner case 6, and reference numeral 12 indicates a cushion rubber interposed between the presser 9 and the battery 7.

Here, according to the present invention, a recess 13 is formed in the mounting surface 8a of the battery 7 of the mounting section 8, and the recess 13 is large enough to fit a finger opened laterally. To be more specific, the recess 13 is
It was positioned approximately in the middle of the mounting surface 8a in the front-rear direction and had a length that reached the lateral side surface of the air cleaner case.

(Function) The function of the present invention will be explained based on the above-mentioned embodiment. The battery 7 is detachably attached to the mounting portion 8 formed in the air cleaner case 6 from the lateral direction. It can be mounted immovably, and is no different from the conventional type in this respect, but the conventional type has the above-mentioned disadvantage because the battery mounting surface of the mounting part is approximately flat, whereas the present invention's In this case, a concave portion 13 is formed in the placement surface 8a of the placement portion 8, and the recess 13 is large enough to fit a finger opened laterally, and the battery 7 is placed on the placement surface 8a. Since the concave portion 13 provides a recessed space large enough for a finger to be inserted between the bottom surface of the battery 7 and the mounting surface 8a, the battery 7 can be mounted while being supported from the bottom surface. It can be inserted into the placement part 8 and placed on the placement surface 8a as it is, and when removing it, the battery 7 can be easily placed while supporting it from the bottom by inserting a finger into the recess 13. Part 8
can be extracted from.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the battery placement part is provided protruding from the side part of the air cleaner case, and the finger opened laterally can be placed on the battery placement surface of the placement part. It forms a recess large enough to fit the
Utilizing the recessed portion, the battery can be attached to and removed from the mounting portion while being supported from the bottom surface with the fingers, which has the effect of improving the efficiency of the operation.
