[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A CB (general purpose) wireless device that allows a motorcycle driver to freely communicate with another motorcycle driver or the like by radio is popular. In this motorcycle radio, a radio body (power unit) is mounted near a seat of a motorcycle, and a controller (operation unit) connected to the radio body by a connection cord is provided near a steering wheel. The earphone and microphone connected to the main body with a cord are provided on a helmet or mounted on the driver's head for use.

[0003] However, conventionally, such a wireless device controller can be operated even in a riding style when the driver attaches it to the finger of the hand holding the steering wheel or a position where the driver can operate with the finger while supporting the steering wheel. Because it is easy, it is preferable to mount it in such a position, but there are many other operation switches near the handle, it is troublesome to mount this controller further near this handle, and the mounting structure of this controller is It was complicated.

[0004] In addition, there are many cases where this mounting structure is not versatile, and there are cases where it is not possible to mount the motorcycle if the model is different, and there is an inconvenience that the controller of the preceding vehicle cannot be mounted on a new vehicle when the motorcycle is changed. .

[0005] Further, if various operations other than radio channel setting and volume adjustment can be performed, it is difficult for the operation to be performed with a finger of one hand supporting a steering wheel, and the operation information is displayed to the driver in an easily viewable manner. There are many things that are hard to use.

The present invention has found that the conventional controller has such a problem, and in addition to being able to perform various operations, the operation information by these operations is very easy to see and extremely easy to use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a revolutionary two-wheeled vehicle radio controller that is extremely practical and can be easily attached to a position that is easy to operate even if it is different.

As described above, in this embodiment, the controller body 6 is attached to one of the left and right handles 3 or near the handle 3 so that at least the handle 3 is gripped or pressed, and the controller body 6 is pressed with the finger of one hand. Just extend the talk switch 7 and a little finger at the end of the
The power switch unit 15 and various operation switch units 10 can be operated,
Therefore, the wireless operation and other operations of transmitting by pressing the talk switch unit 7 with a finger and receiving by releasing the finger can be easily performed even in the riding style.

The front surface of the controller body 6 is provided with surface portions 8 and 9 whose front directions are different from each other, and the surface portion 8 on the side of the talk switch portion 7 is provided with an operation switch portion 10 capable of various other adjustment operations. Is provided on the other surface portion 9 on the inside driver side, and a display portion 11 employing a liquid crystal panel on which the operation information is displayed is provided. If it is installed so as to face, the operation switch section 10 (the surface section 8) will face outward, that is, it will face the finger of the hand that operates the talk switch section 7, Easy finger operation,
In addition, the display is easy for the driver to see.

The mirror 4 for visually confirming the rear of the motorcycle 1 is generally mounted above the handle 3. A mirror mounting portion 14 of the mirror 4 is provided with a mounting hole 13 in a hanging part of a mounting member 12 provided on the controller body 6. The fitting member 12, that is, the controller main body 6 can be jointly fastened together with the mirror 4 by fitting and tightening the mirror mounting nut 18 or the like.

Accordingly, the mounting structure of the mirror 4 is basically the same even if the model of the vehicle is different, and can be fastened together by fitting the mounting hole 13.
Can be mounted irrespective of the model, and since the mirror 4 is generally disposed above the handle 3, the mirror 4 can be easily mounted at an appropriate position because it is fixedly fastened to the mounting portion.

In this embodiment, as described above, in addition to the CB wireless function, the wireless device of the present embodiment has an audio function and an intercom function that enables a so-called extension to talk with a passenger through an earphone microphone. And these functions can be switched and used.

Specifically, the following operation can be performed by operating the switch of this one controller.

The following is a description.

By operating the lower left lever switch 10C of the operation switch section 10, the wireless channel can be changed and set.

When the lever is pushed up, the channel value increases, and when it is pushed down, the channel value decreases. Release the finger and the lever automatically returns to the middle position. The volume can be adjusted by operating the lever switch 10D on the left side. Similarly, the volume can be increased or decreased by raising and lowering the lever.

The upper left button switch 10A is a mute switch. When the button switch 10A is pressed, a mute function for lowering the volume is activated, and when the button switch is pressed again, the mute function is released.

The button switch at the upper right is a mode switch. When the button is pressed once, the squelch adjustment mode is set. When the button is pressed again, the mode is changed to the intercom mode. The mode changes to squelch adjustment mode when pressed again, but after 5 seconds from any mode, the mode switches to the normal mode and switches to the channel display.

In each mode, the lower right lever switch
10D sequentially changes to functions as a squelch value adjustment lever, an intercom mute level adjustment lever, and a volume adjustment lever. In the normal mode, it functions as a volume adjustment lever.

Here, the squelch adjustment is to adjust a squelch value between a noise level and a received signal level in order to cut noise, and the intercom mute level adjustment in the intercom mode is a stereo performance. Adjusts the sensitivity of the intercom mute function, which works automatically when the user talks with the passenger on the intercom while responding to the voice (sound) and automatically squeezes the stereo sound. Things.

In this embodiment, the lower left lever switch
When the power is turned on by pressing the power switch unit 15 while keeping the 10C pressed, only the CB function (wireless function) is turned off and only the intercom and the stereo are turned on.

As described above, in this embodiment, various switching operations can be performed by the four operation switches 10, and only the channel, volume, squelch value, intercom mute sensitivity, and CB function are turned off even when the riding position is maintained. And the like.

The display section 11 displays operation information in response to this.

More specifically, the number of channels changing according to the channel setting is displayed at the center, and the set values of volume, squelch value, and intercom mute are displayed by the mode switching. Usually, it is a channel display.

On the peripheral surface of the central numerical display of the display unit 11, an intercom indicator illuminated in the intercom mode, a squelch indicator illuminated in the squelch mode, a volume indicator illuminated in the volume mode, and a channel illuminated in the channel display There are provided an indicator, a reception indicator that lights up when a signal is received, a transmission indicator that lights up when transmitting, and a beep indicator that lights up when a razor beep is set.
