Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lighting device which is provided in a motorcycle having a storage part such as a front carrier or a helmet box for storing luggage and which illuminates the storage part with a storage part lamp.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a motorcycle is provided with a storage portion for storing luggage, a helmet or the like. One of the storage units is a motorcycle with a relatively large amount of luggage, such as a newspaper delivery car, which carries a relatively large amount of luggage, and is provided above the front wheels of the front of the vehicle body in addition to the luggage carrier at the rear of the seats. There is a luggage storage area called a front carrier.

When packages are delivered early in the morning, in the evening or at night, the natural light is reduced and the delivery environment becomes dark. In that state, it will be dark at hand, so it will be difficult to check and take out the luggage when taking it out. For this reason, the delivery vehicle as described above is provided with a light called a hand lamp that illuminates light toward the front carrier and luggage. FIG. 8 shows an example of a conventional circuit of this hand lamp illumination device.

As shown in FIG. 8, the hand lamp a is connected to the output b1 side of the magnet b, and adopts an AC lighting system in which it is lit by an AC power source generated by the magnet b. Further, the hand lamp a is connected to the magnet b in parallel with the headlamp (headlight) c of the motorcycle,
The headlamp c is turned on at the same time. In FIG. 8, reference numeral d is a smoothing and voltage regulator (regulator and rectifier) composed of thyristors, e is a fuse, f is a direct current battery, and g is a main switch. The smoothing and voltage regulator d rectifies and regulates the AC power source output from the magnet b into a DC power source, and further charges the battery f via the fuse e. Further, by turning on / off the main switch g operated by a key (ignition key), the DC power of the battery f is supplied to each electric equipment of the motorcycle.

In another one of the storage parts, in a motorcycle such as a scooter, a helmet box in which a recess for accommodating a helmet is formed below a seat and the upper opening of the recess is opened and closed by the seat. There is.
In this type of motorcycle, it is difficult to put a luggage such as a helmet in and out of the helmet box if the inside of the helmet box remains dark when the surroundings are dark such as at night. Therefore, some motorcycles are provided with a helmet box lamp that illuminates the inside of the box. FIG. 9 shows a conventional circuit example of the illumination device for the helmet box lamp h. As shown in FIG. 9, the helmet box lamp h is adapted to be supplied with power from a battery f through a seat switch i which is turned on / off by opening and closing the seat. The helmet box lamp h lights up and goes out when closed.

Generally, since a key (ignition key) is used for unlocking the seat lock, in the lighting device circuit of FIG. 9, the battery f is directly switched to the seat switch without passing through the main switch (ignition key switch) as described above. Turn on / off with i and helmet box lamp h
The helmet box lamp h is always turned on when the seat is opened.

[0007]

However, the above-mentioned conventional lighting device has the following problems. (1) In the illuminating device for the front carrier, there is a problem that the hand lamp becomes dark because the voltage of the motorcycle becomes low during idling. That is,
In delivery and the like, it is necessary to illuminate the parcel to be delivered in the front carrier using the hand lamp when the motorcycle is stopped. For example, in FIG.
As shown in, there is a magneto power generation voltage of about 13V when the vehicle is running, but when the vehicle is stopped, the engine power generation voltage is low because the engine is idling and the engine speed is low. Since the power is commonly supplied from the magneto, the brightness of the hand lamp becomes the darkest even when you want to use the hand lamp.

(2) The helmet box lamp is
It lights up on battery power, so unless you disconnect the terminals from the battery, it will always light up when you open the seat.
Therefore, when the motorcycle is serviced with the seat open, the battery may be discharged more than the allowable amount (so-called battery exhaustion) in a short period of time.

The above problems (1) and (2) are caused by not detecting the traveling stop state of the motorcycle and turning on the lighting device in the storage room when the traveling is stopped. Has not proposed a technology to deal with it.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides an illuminating device for a storage part of a motorcycle capable of lighting a storage part lamp when the motorcycle is in a stopped state. This is the first task. A second object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device for a storage part of a motorcycle that can prevent the battery from running out in a short period of time even if the motorcycle is powered by a battery. A third object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device for a storage part of a motorcycle that can light a storage part lamp brightly even if the power source is a magneto.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has the following constitution. The invention according to claim 1 is provided in a motorcycle having a side stand that supports a vehicle body when a vehicle is stopped and a storage unit that stores an object to be stored, and supplies power to a lighting device that illuminates the storage unit with a storage unit lamp. Supply the power from the power supply to the lamp for the storage via the power supply and the side stand switch that operates in the grounded state of the side stand, and the side stand switch,
The first and second problems are solved by a configuration of a lighting device for a storage part of a motorcycle, which is provided with a lighting circuit that lights a storage part lamp when the side stand is in a grounded state. .

The invention according to claim 2 is a lighting device which is provided in a motorcycle having a side stand for supporting a vehicle body when a vehicle is stopped and a storage portion for storing an object to be stored, and which illuminates the storage portion with a storage portion lamp. , A power supply unit consisting of a magnet that supplies AC power, a side stand switch that operates by switching between the stored and grounded side stands, and the power from the power supply unit via the side stand switch, either the storage lamp or the headlamp. To turn on the storage lamp and turn off the headlamp when the side stand is in the grounded state, and
And a switching lighting circuit for turning on the head lamp and turning off the lamp for the housing portion when the side stand is in the housed state. According to the configuration of the lighting device for the housing portion of the motorcycle, the first and third aspects are provided. To solve the problem of.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in a lighting device provided in a motorcycle having a storage portion for storing an object to be stored and illuminating the storage portion with a storage portion lamp, a battery for supplying a DC power source is used. A power source section, a stop-state operation switch that operates in a stopped state of the motorcycle, a storage section that is a recess formed in the vehicle body, and an opening of the recess at the top of the recess is opened and closed by a lid member The lid member open / close switch that operates according to the operation, the stop state operation switch, and the lid member open / close switch are connected in series to supply the power of the power supply unit to the lamp for the storage unit, so that the motorcycle is in the stopped state and the cover member is open. The lighting device for a storage part of a motorcycle, comprising: a lighting circuit for lighting a storage part lamp when opened;
To solve the problem of.

[0014]

According to the invention of claim 1, the lighting circuit supplies power from the power source to the lamp for the housing through the side stand switch that is turned on when the side stand is housed, and when the side stand is grounded. Since the storage unit lamp is turned on, the storage unit lamp is turned off when the side stand is stored, and the lamp is turned on when the side stand is grounded. Therefore, since the motorcycle is in a stopped state when the side stand is in the grounded state, the storage lamp is lit only in this stopped state. Also, if the power supply is a direct current battery instead of a magneto, the storage lamp does not get power from the magneto even when the motorcycle is stopped, i.e. when the engine is idling and the magneto power is small. The storage lamp illuminates brightly, while the side stand is stored when the motorcycle is in operation, so the storage lamp is turned off to prevent battery drain.

Here, in claim 1, the power source may be an AC power generator such as a magneto, but the output voltage of the AC power generator differs depending on the running state of the engine. When the storage lamp is connected to the AC generator in parallel with the headlamp (headlight), the output voltage of the generator drops because the idling state occurs when the motorcycle is stopped, and the storage lamp The amount of light emitted from may be insufficient.
Therefore, the invention of claim 2 is configured.

According to the second aspect of the invention, in the switching lighting circuit, the AC power from the power source is supplied to one of the housing lamp or the headlamp through the side stand switch. In this case, the storage lamp is turned on and the headlamp is turned off when the side stand is in the grounded state, while the headlamp is turned on and the storage lamp is turned off when the side stand is in the stored state. Therefore, when the side stand is in the housed state, the housing lamp can be turned on separately from the headlamp. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, the output voltage of the magneto is increased and the amount of light emitted from the lamp for the storage portion is increased as compared with the case where the lamp for the storage portion is loaded together with the headlamp. Can be lit brightly and sufficient illuminance can be obtained in the storage part.

According to the third aspect of the invention, since the power from the battery is supplied to the lamp for the housing portion through the stop state operation switch and the lid member opening / closing switch in series, the motorcycle is in the stopped state and the lid is closed. The storage lamp lights up when the member is opened. Therefore, the storage lamp can be turned on only when the vehicle is stopped, so that the battery will not run out in a short period of time. The stop state operation switch is, for example, a side stand switch that is turned on when the side stand is housed, or an ignition LOC that is turned on when the ignition key is locked.
It can be a K state switch (lock state switch). When the side stand switch is used, the storage lamp is turned on only when the motorcycle is stopped and the side stand is in the grounded state and the lid member is opened. Further, when the ignition LOCK state switch is used, the storage lamp is turned on only when the ignition key is locked when the motorcycle is stopped and the lid member is opened.

According to the motorcycle lighting device of the first embodiment, in the running state of the motorcycle, the engine rotates at a higher rotational speed than in the idling state, so the generated voltage of the magneto 34 is high, and if necessary. The head lamp tail lamp 30 is turned on by the regulator / rectifier 38, and the battery 36 is charged by rectifying and adjusting the voltage. The main switch 42 is already turned on, but the side stand 18 is in the retracted state,
The side stand switch 40 is turned off, and thus the hand lamp 16 is off.

On the other hand, when the side stand 18 is grounded while the motorcycle is stopped, the side stand switch 40 is turned on, so that the hand lamp 16 is turned on.
The battery 36 is supplied with power from the battery 36 and is lit. In the stopped state, since the engine is idling, the generated voltage of the magneto 34 is low and the head pump 28
Even though they are turned on, the amount of light is small and it is dark, but since the hand lamp 16 receives power from the battery 36, not from the magneto 34, it lights brightly with a sufficient amount of light even when the engine is idling.
The deliverables (baggage) in 4 can be confirmed securely and sufficiently, and there is no fear of troublesome delivery or mistakes in delivery. Further, since the hand lamp 16 is turned on by the battery 36, it is turned on brightly with a stable voltage.
The hand lamp 16 lights up when the side stand 18 is brought out to be in a grounded state. Therefore, when the hand lamp 16 is desired to be used, it is when the motorcycle is stopped. Only at this time, the hand lamp 16 can be turned on.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a lighting circuit of the lighting device of the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is an operation explanatory diagram of the lighting circuit. The second embodiment is an illuminating device that is provided in a motorcycle having a side stand 18 that supports the vehicle body when the vehicle is stopped and a front carrier 14 that stores a delivery (luggage), and that illuminates the storage section with a hand lamp. It has a power supply unit composed of a magneto 34 for supplying an AC power supply, and a side stand switch 46 which is operated by switching one of them on and the other off when the side stand 18 is housed or grounded. Further, AC power from the magneto 34 is supplied to one of the hand lamp 16 or the head lamp 28 via the side stand switch 46 as shown in FIG. 3 to turn on the hand lamp 16 when the side stand 18 is in the grounded state. In addition, there is a switching lighting circuit for turning off the head lamp 28 and turning on the head lamp 28 and turning off the hand lamp 16 when the side stand 18 is in the housed state. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 4
8 is a stop lamp switch, 50 is a stop lamp,

According to the second embodiment, the side stand 18 is a kind of housing when the motorcycle is in a traveling state.
Therefore, the side stand switch 46 supplies the power of the magneto 34 to the headlamp 28 when the headlamp 28 side is on. Further, the hand lamp 16 side is in the off state. For delivery and the like, the engine of the motorcycle is idling and the side stand 18 is grounded to stop the vehicle. At this time, the side stand switch 46 is switched from the head lamp 28 side to the hand lamp 16 side, and the lamp voltage is, for example, as shown in FIG.
The state of symbol A changes to the state of B. This is because the wattage W1 of the headlamp 28 is the wattage W2 of the hand lamp 16
Since it is considerably or much larger (W1 >> W2), the voltage B when the headlamp 28 is off and the hand lamp 16 is loaded is higher than the voltage A when the headlamp 28 is loaded together. Magneto 3
This is because the power generation voltage of No. 4 becomes high (A <B), and this causes the hand lamp 16 to have sufficient brightness. Therefore, according to the second embodiment, unlike the conventional case, the applied voltage of the hand lamp 16 is not low and the hand lamp 16 is not dark, and the hand lamp 16 can sufficiently fulfill its role when the vehicle is stopped. it can.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, this third embodiment is provided in a motorcycle having a side stand 18 that supports the vehicle body when the vehicle is stopped and a helmet box (corresponding to a storage portion) 52 that stores a helmet that is an object to be stored. The helmet box 5
The lighting device illuminates 2 with a box lamp (corresponding to a storage lamp) 54. This motorcycle is a scooter type vehicle and is formed in a U-shaped shape in a side view from a front portion 56a of a vehicle body 56 in which the front wheels 12 are axially viewed by a front fork 54 to a central portion 56b. A seat 58 is openably mounted on the upper part of the seat. A unit swing type power unit 60 is swingably provided from the lower portion of the central portion 56b of the vehicle body 56 to the rear portion 56c. Further, a side stand 18 and a side stand switch (corresponding to a stop state operation switch) 40 are provided under the central portion 56b, and a gate-shaped main stand 62 is rotatably provided at the rear portion of the side stand 18. The side stand switch 40 is turned on when the side stand 18 is in the grounded state, and has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment.

A helmet box 52 is formed in a lower portion of the seat 58 of the vehicle body 56. The helmet box 52 is a recess formed in the vehicle body 56, and the upper opening of the recess is opened and closed by a seat 58 (corresponding to a lid member). In this helmet box 52, a seat 58 is attached to the helmet box 5
A seat switch 64 is provided which is turned on when the switch 2 is opened.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lighting device includes a side stand switch 40 and a seat switch 64.
Is provided in series to supply power from the battery 36 to the box lamp 54, and lights the box lamp 54 when the side stand 18 is grounded and the seat 58 is opened.

According to the lighting device of the third embodiment, when the side stand 18 is grounded and the seat 58 is exposed, the box lamp 54 is turned on by the power source of the battery 36. When the motorcycle is used for normal shopping, the side stand 18 is in a grounded state when the motorcycle is stopped, and in this state, if the seat 58 is opened to use the helmet box 52, the box lamp 54 is turned on.

When the motorcycle is repaired or inspected, the main stand 62 is usually set up. That is, if the side stand 18 is in the grounded state, the motorcycle may sway or move if something that is being repaired or the like accidentally hits the vehicle body. As described above, even if the seat 58 is opened by erecting the main stand 62, only the seat seat switch 64 is on and the side stand switch 40 is off, so that the box lamp 54 does not light. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the box lamp 54 does not light up whenever the seat 58 is illuminated, and the battery 36 does not rise.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the side stand switch 4 of the third embodiment is used as a stop state operation switch.
Instead of 0, a LOCK state switch (lock state switch) 66d that is turned on when the ignition switch 66 is in the front steering lock state is used. That is, the ignition switch 66 has three modes (ON mode, OFF mode, LOCK mode). At one of the ON mode positions, it is possible to drive the motorcycle, and the battery and load 68 are connected to ON.
A mode switch 66a is provided. Also, other OFF

According to the fourth embodiment, when the ignition switch 66 is in the LOCK mode position, the power from the battery 36 is turned to the LO level of the ignition switch 66.
Seat seat switch 6 via CK status switch 66d
4 Furthermore, since a LOCK circuit connected to the box lamp 54 is formed, when the seat 58 is opened, the seat seat switch 64 is turned on to supply the power to the battery 36 to the box lamp 54. The lamp 54 lights up.

Normally, the ignition switch 66 is O
At the N mode position, the ON mode switch 66a is turned on to energize the power of the battery 36 to each load, and the OF
In the F mode position and the LOCK mode position, the engine stop switches 66b and 66c turn on the ignition of the magneto 34.
Stop the engine by dropping the lighting signal to ground. In the ignition switch 66, the ignition key can be removed at the OFF mode position and the LOCK mode position. In this case, even if the ignition key is pulled out at the OFF mode position and the seat 58 is opened, the box lamp 54 does not light up, and the box lamp 54 does not light up unless the ignition key is set to the LOCK mode position.

Therefore, when the motorcycle is serviced or inspected, if the ignition key is set to the OFF position, the box lamp 54 will not light up. Therefore,
Even if the seat 58 is opened at the time of maintenance or inspection, the battery 36 will not be exhausted, and it is possible to prevent the battery from running out. If the ignition key is set to the OFF position, the handle can be moved, and maintainability is good. Further, in order to turn on the box lamp 54, the ignition key is not set to the LOCK position. Therefore, when the user goes home at night, even if the seat 58 is opened and the box lamp 54 is not turned on, the steering wheel is locked. You can tell immediately that you have not done so, and it has an anti-theft effect. Further, even if the seat switch 64 or the like is broken during driving and is turned on, the ignition switch 66 is still in the ON mode position at that time and the battery 3
The power supply current of 6 does not flow, and the box lamp 54 does not light.
