Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to an arrangement structure for audio equipment in a motorcycle.

BACKGROUND ART In recent years, 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.

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

In order to achieve this purpose, the arrangement structure of the audio equipment in the motorcycle according to the present invention is such that the audio equipment is arranged inside the front cowl so that its upper surface is inclined along the upper edge of the rearwardly inclined side wall of the front cowl. In addition, when viewed from the side, the operation buttons for the audio equipment are configured to protrude from the upper end of the side wall of the front cowl.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a motorcycle according to the present invention as 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 screen 2. The cowl 1 is composed of an outer plate and an inner plate, and is constructed integrally with the vehicle body, and is, as a matter of course, separate from the handlebar 3. A space is defined by the outer and inner plates of the front cowl 1, and in the space located on the right side of the vehicle body, a radio unit main body 4, which is a circuit main body, a transceiver unit main body 5, a power amplifier 6, etc. are installed as a radio controller. 7. The transceiver controller 8 and other operating parts are housed separately from each other, and since these circuit bodies generate a larger amount of heat than the operating parts, they are placed near the air duct hole 18 provided in the front cowl 1. ing. On the other hand, in the space located on the left side of the vehicle body, there are a radio controller 7, a transceiver controller 8, an intercom controller 9, an antenna distributor 10, and a multi-channel gear 11.
A cassette player 12 is housed near the bottom of the left grip 3A of the handle 3. In particular, the operation parts of the radio controller 7 and the cassette player 12 are arranged directly below the left grip 3A of the handle 3.

Further, the front cowl 1 has at least two continuous upper surfaces and is tilted rearward, and the front cowl 1 has a rear surface 1B compared to a front surface 1A in the running direction.
The radio controller 7 mentioned above is formed on the rear inclined surface 1B.
However, the operation surface is buried so as to be inclined along the upper edge of the side wall of the front cowl 1, and the various operation buttons of the radio controller 7 are located from the upper edge of the side wall of the front cowl 1 when viewed from the side as shown in FIG. It is set to protrude.

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 viewed obliquely 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 attached to a mirror attachment hole (not shown) via a fixture 35. 19L, 19
R represents left and right speakers, and 20 represents a meter panel equipped with various indicators such as a sounder.These are installed in the front cowl 1. In particular, the meter panel 20 is arranged at the center of the front cowl 1.

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 main 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.

The inner case 21 is inclined so that the front side in the running direction is higher than the player body 12 in the running direction, just as the player main body 12 is inclined with respect to the car body in the running direction, and has 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 for finger hooks are formed at the lower end of the player body 12, which engages with the player body 12, so that the player body 12 can be inserted and lifted 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 34 that is detachable from the player body 12.
A and an inner case 34B that is slidable with respect to the outer cover 34A. The outer cover 34A is mounted above the cassette insertion opening 14, and the inner case 34B is slid against the outer cover 34A to appropriately cover the operating section.

Effects of the Invention As detailed above, according to the present invention, the operation button of the audio equipment is provided so as to protrude from the upper end of the side wall of the front cowl when viewed from the side, so that the rider can operate the audio equipment after dismounting. Even in such cases, it can be easily operated from the side, providing excellent operability.
