Abstract

PURPOSE:To male it possible to compactly contain a battery for miniaturizing and lightening a jacket cover by forming a battery containing case at the corner section of the bottom section of the container box provided in the space enclosed by the jacket cover below the seat. CONSTITUTION:A scooter type motorcycle is covered by a plastic jacket cover 9 comprising an oil tank 6, a container box 7 for containing a helmet and others, fuel tank 8, etc. molded in a body, and on the upper section of the jacket cover 9 a seat 10 is arranged. In this case, at the front side corner section of the bottom section in the container box 7, an open-upper container case 13 is formed in a body. In addition, in the bottom wall(the bottom wall of the container box 7) of this container case 13, a take-out hole (not shown in the figure), through which the terminal lead wire of the maintenance free battery 20 contained in the container case 13 is threaded, is drilled. The upper opening section of the container case 13 is covered by a cover 16 and fixed by machine screws.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a battery storage structure for a scooter type motorcycle.

(Prior Art) In small scooter-type motorcycles, the layout of the battery is a problem.

By the way, a storage box for storing a helmet, etc. is provided in the exterior cover below the seat of such a scooter type motorcycle, and a battery storage case is integrally formed with this storage box, It has also been conventional practice to store batteries in a removable manner.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, since the battery storage case is provided outside the storage box, that is, outside the circumferential line of the helmet stored in the storage box, the oil tank stored in the exterior cover, There were problems in that the layout of other equipment such as the fuel tank was restricted, and the width and longitudinal length of the exterior cover became large.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to compactly store a battery in a storage box inside an exterior cover without imposing restrictions on the layout of various devices stored inside the exterior cover. Another object of the present invention is to provide a battery storage structure for a scooter type motorcycle, which allows the exterior cover to be made smaller, lighter, slimmer, etc.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms a storage case at a bottom corner of a storage box provided in a space surrounded by an exterior cover below the seat, and the storage case The present invention is characterized in that a battery storage structure for a scooter-type motorcycle is constructed by storing a battery inside the storage box and forming an outlet hole for a terminal lead-out wire of the battery at the bottom of the storage box.

(Function) According to the structure of the present invention, the storage case for storing the battery is provided in the corner of the storage box, specifically, within the circumferential tangent of the helmet stored in the storage box, so that the battery can be laid out rationally. This makes it possible to make the exterior cover smaller, lighter, and slimmer than before without placing any restrictions on the layout of the various devices housed within the exterior cover.

In addition, since the outlet hole for the battery terminal lead wire (lead wire) is provided at the bottom of the storage box, it is possible to route the terminal lead wire in a rational manner, and the height between the helmet stored in the storage box and the rear axle can be reduced. It can be kept low.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a side view of the scooter-type motorcycle, Figure 2 is a partial plan view of the motorcycle, Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line ■-■ in Figure 2, and Figure 4 is a perspective view of the storage box. It is.

In the scooter type motorcycle l shown in Fig. 1, 2,3
have a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively, and a low-floor step portion 4 is provided between the front wheel 2 and the rear wheel 3, which constitutes a footrest for the rider.

Further, a unit swing type engine 5 which is a driving source is disposed behind the step portion 4, and an output shaft (not shown) that protrudes laterally from the rear of the unit swing type engine 5 has the aforementioned unit swing type engine 5. Rear wheel 3 is attached.

Furthermore, above the unit swing type engine 5,
A resin storage box 7 for storing an oil tank 6, a helmet 30, etc., a fuel tank 8, etc. are arranged, and these are covered by an exterior cover 9 integrally made of resin, and the upper part of this exterior cover 9 is A sheet 10 is arranged. In FIG. 1, 11 is a handle, and 12 is a front cover.

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the front corner of the inner bottom of the storage box 7, that is, in the circumscribed tangent of the helmet 30 stored in the storage box 7, there is a storage case 13 whose top surface is open. are integrally formed,
The bottom wall of the storage case 13 (bottom wall of the storage box 7) is provided with extraction holes 14, 14, as shown in FIG. Further, a holder 15 is integrally protruded from the bottom surface of the storage box 7 near the takeout hole 14.14.

In this embodiment, with the case 10 opened, the thin and light MF battery 20 or the storage case 1
The upper surface of the storage case 13 is covered with a resin cover 16, and the cover 16 is secured with screws 17 and 17.
(See FIG. 4) is attached to the storage case 13. The lead wire 18 connected to the MF battery 20 is
As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 15 extends outside the storage box 7 from the take-out hole 14.14 opened in the bottom wall of the storage box 7, and is protruded from the lower surface of the storage box 7.
is supported by

As described above, in this embodiment, the MF battery 20 is stored in the storage case 13 provided at the bottom corner of the storage box 7 (inside the circumscribed tangent of the helmet 30). A rational layout within the exterior cover 9 is now possible, and the layout of various devices such as the oil tank 6 and fuel tank 8 stored within the exterior cover 9 is not restricted by the MF battery 20, and is more compact than before. As a result, the exterior cover 9 can be made smaller, lighter, and slimmer. Or,
If the exterior cover 9 has the same shape and dimensions as conventional ones, the capacity of the oil tank 6 and fuel tank 8 can be expanded.

In addition, since the lead wire 18 connected to the MF battery 2o is provided with the outlet hole 14.14 at the bottom of the storage box 7, the lead wire 18 can be routed in a rational manner.As a result, the storage box shown in FIG. The height H between the helmet 3o stored in the box 7 and the rear axle can be kept low.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, a groove 13a is vertically formed in a part of the outer wall of the storage case 13, and a spring-like terminal 19 is formed by binding the lead wire 18 to the groove 13a.
As shown in FIG. 6, the MF battery 2
When replacing the MF battery 20, the MF battery 20 is electrically connected to and disconnected from the MF battery 20 by simply putting it in and taking it out of the storage case 13, which greatly simplifies the replacement work. You can get the advantage of

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, a storage case is formed at the bottom corner of a storage box provided in a space surrounded by an exterior cover below the seat, and inside the storage case. In addition to storing the battery in the box, the outlet hole for the terminal lead-out wire of the battery is formed at the bottom of the storage box, so the battery can be stored inside the exterior cover without imposing restrictions on the layout of various devices stored inside the exterior cover. It can be stored compactly in a box, and the outer cover can be made smaller, lighter, slimmer, etc.
