Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mounting structure for audio equipment in a motorcycle, and particularly to a structure for mounting an audio unit such as a radio receiver or a cassette tape recorder.

When an acoustic unit such as a radio receiver is attached to a motorcycle, it is generally installed as shown at 2 near the driver's seat (not shown) on the side of the front cowl l, as shown in FIG. Note that 3 indicates a handle, and 4 indicates a meter. In order to make it easier for the driver to operate the radio receiver 2, the entire unit is slightly tilted as shown in the figure so that all the various operation buttons and switch knobs on the entire surface of the unit are within the driver's field of vision.

In a motorcycle, rainwater not only hits the unit 2 directly, but also enters the acoustic unit housing section of the cowl 1 and reaches the electrical wiring connector (not shown), which can result in malfunctions. Become. Particularly, since the unit 2 is installed in a tilted manner as described above, there is a danger that rainwater that has entered the storage area inside the cowl will flow into the inside of the connector.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an entire mounting structure for audio equipment for a motorcycle that prevents rainwater from flowing into a connector and prevents damage to the audio unit.

The structure of the sound machine model for a motorcycle according to the present invention is characterized in that a waterproof member is attached to the outer periphery of the jack on the jack board surface of the connector that makes the electrical connection between the sound unit and the vehicle body. The present invention will be explained below using the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a cross-sectional view along the longitudinal direction of the acoustic unit 2 in the figure, both of which show the relationship when the unit 2f is being separated from the vehicle body side mounting storage portion. As shown in FIG. 1, the unit storage section 5 on the vehicle body side is designed so that the unit 2 is stored at an angle. Therefore, the vehicle body side junk 6 of the connector that makes electrical connection between the unit and the vehicle body is fixed to the inclined mounting board. Note that the connector plug 7 on the unit side is attached to the bottom surface of the unit 2 corresponding to the jack 6.

A waterproof rubber backing member 8 is attached to the mounting plate around the jack 6, and in particular, the waterproof member 8 is attached to the outer periphery of the jack except for the lowest part on the mounting board. There is. In this example, since the connector structure has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape, the other three sides except for one side, which is the lowest side,
A member 8 is attached to surround the sides. Therefore, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The moon 8 is clamped, and rainwater can be effectively prevented from entering. For this purpose, it is desirable that the thickness of the waterproof member 8 is thicker than the thickness of the gap, but if it is too thick, it will interfere with the contact of the connector, so the waterproofing and connector contact will not be complete. It is clear that the thickness of the member 8 needs to be selected accordingly.

Further, the thickness and material of the part 8 are selected so that it also has a damper function.

In addition, 10 is a locking mechanism for the anti-theft fE, 9 indicates a lock key, and a protrusion 11 provided at the bottom of the unit.
The receiver of the storage portion 5 is configured so that when it is inserted into the portion 5A, the connector connection is automatically made and the locking is completed, and the details thereof will be omitted.

By adopting such a configuration, rainwater is prevented from entering the connector, and even if rainwater does enter the connector, the lowest part around the connector is not provided with a waterproof member. The intruding water flows out of the connector through this part, making it more effective.

As shown in the above example, in the present invention, a waterproof material is attached to the outer periphery of the connector on the connector mounting plate, so that failure of the electrical unit can be prevented.

Although the structure is such that the waterproof member is provided on the connector jack side, the waterproof effect can be expected even if the waterproof member is provided on the connector plug side. Further, the acoustic unit is not limited to a radio receiver, but can also be applied to a transceiver, a cassette tape player, etc.
