Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement of a frame for a two-wheeled vehicle.

(Conventional technology and problems) Electrical components for two-wheeled vehicles were developed in the 1980s.
111023, it was placed in the space formed between the frames and covered with a dedicated cover or protective plate. A space having a triangular planar shape is formed at the joint between the head pipe and the frame member of a two-wheeled vehicle, but in order to separate this space from the outside, it is necessary to provide a special blind cover or the like.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention avoids increasing the size of the frame member by reinforcing the frame member with upper and lower reinforcing plates, and also utilizes the space surrounded by these members for installing electrical components. This makes effective use of the space within the frame, and the means for this is to install upper reinforcing plates 11 above and below the branch part 10 in a two-wheeled vehicle in which a branch part is formed by welding left and right square frame members to a head pipe. The lower reinforcing plate 14 is fixed by welding, and the head pipe 3, left and right frame members 4,
4 and upper and lower reinforcing plates 11 and 14 to form an electrical component storage chamber 17 with an open rear end, and a bracket 18 for fixing electrical components is removably disposed within this electrical component storage chamber 17. , is characterized in that electrical components are centrally arranged in the bracket 18.

(Function) By the above means, the electrical components attached to the frame or the engine unit are arranged together in the space.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, the frame 2 of the two-wheeled vehicle 1 is
A frame member 4 is connected to a head pipe 3 by welding, a front fork 5 is connected to the head pipe 3, and a fuel tank 6, an engine unit 7, and a light bracket 9 for a headlamp 8 are supported by the frame member 4. ing.

Frame 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3,
A branch part 1 is formed by branching left and right frame members 4, 4 having a vertically long cross-section into the head pipe 3 and welding them.
0 is formed. At the top of this branch 10,
A substantially triangular upper reinforcing plate 11 is welded to connect the head pipe 3 and frame members 4, 4, and a flange is provided at the rear end of the upper reinforcing plate 11 to receive a fixing piece extending from the fuel tank 6. 1
2 is suspended to provide an insertion hole 13 for the fixing piece.

The lower reinforcing plate 14 has a bottom wall 15 and both side walls 16,1.
It has a flat U-shaped cross section with 6 side walls 1
The front ends connected to the head pipe are the highest, and the height decreases toward the rear, and the end edges of the head pipes 6 and 16 are welded to the head pipe 3 and frame members 4, 4. By raising the front end portions of both side walls 16, 16, a structure that is strong against bending moments can be achieved.

The present invention provides these head pipes 3, frames 4, 4, and upper and lower reinforcing plates 11, 1 at the branch portion 10.
4 forms a strong connection part of the frame, and only the rear side is open, and the upper reinforcing plate 11
The rear end is positioned forward of the rear end of the lower reinforcing plate 14 to form a space that is easily accessible from above, and this space is used as an electrical equipment storage room 17, in which electrical equipment is installed. A bracket 18 is provided.

The bracket 18 is attached to the base 1 as shown in FIG.
Arms 21 and 22 are branched to a support 20 extending from 9,
An ignition coil 23, a regulator 24, a direction indicating mechanism 25, etc. are attached to these, and they are installed in the electrical component storage chamber 17 as shown in FIG. bracket 18
is removably attached to the lower reinforcing plate 4 with a bracket fixing bolt 26, and the ignition coil 2
3. The regulator 24 and the like are fitted and assembled into the bracket 18 using connectors such as rubber bands, and the ignition coil 23 is attached to the ignition coil fixing bolt 2.
7, and these allow various electrical components to be installed in the storage chamber 17 all at once.

In the figure, 28 is a seat rail, 29 is a rear stay, which fixes and supports the seat, and 30 is a fixing piece extending from the bottom of the fuel tank 6, whose tip 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 13 of the upper reinforcing plate 11.
and the bottom rear end of the fuel tank 6 is screwed to another fixed point on the frame. Numerals 32 and 33 are bolts for fixing the light stay 9.

(Effect of the invention) With the above configuration, the branch part 10 of the frame 1 is reinforced by the upper and lower reinforcing plates 11 and 14, and the electrical component storage chamber 17 is closed at the front, left and right, and the upper and lower sides are closed, and only the rear is open. is formed. Then, the bracket 18 with each electrical component assembled is placed in the electrical component storage compartment 1.
7, each electrical component can be attached and detached, which has the advantage of improving the workability of the assembly process or inspection and repair.

In addition, since the front, left and right, top and bottom of the electrical component storage chamber 17 are isolated from the outside, the electrical components can be isolated from rainwater, splashed water, etc., and the engine heat transmitted from below can also be blocked, providing a protective function for the electrical components. It also has the advantage of improving.
