Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage device for storing electrical components, etc., using the rear fender of a motorcycle or the like.

When installing electrical components such as a CDI unit or turn signal relay on a motorcycle, a special bracket is installed on the frame, etc., and these are mounted and supported, but according to this method, special support parts are required. The number of parts increases, the work required to install these brackets increases, the number of man-hours increases, and it is necessary to secure a space for these installations, and it is difficult to secure this space on motorcycles, etc. This is difficult to do on such a small motorcycle, and it is hard to say that the external appearance is the best.Additionally, these electrical components hate water, so they need covers to protect them from rainwater and muddy water. Otherwise, it is necessary to form a box and store it inside the box, which increases the number of parts in addition to the above, and it is difficult to easily obtain mounting space.

Therefore, electrical equipment is sometimes stored below the seat, but if possible, it would be better to use the space below the seat as storage and mounting space for fuel tanks, oil tanks, and other equipment.

The present invention was developed in view of the above, and its purpose is to make the rear fender face directly below the rear part of the frame with a reverse channel cross section, open the top above the rear fender, and provide a raised wall portion surrounding the four peripheries. A storage area is formed, in which electrical equipment such as a CDI unit and turn signal relay are stored and mounted, and these electrical equipment are covered from the outside by the raised wall and the upper frame, thereby reducing the dead space between the rear fender and the frame. Electrical equipment for motorcycles, etc. that utilizes space effectively, protects the above from rainwater, etc., and further reduces the number of parts by integrally molding the rear fender and raised wall. To provide storage devices for items, etc.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a motorcycle 1, in which a front fork 5 that supports a front wheel 4 is pivotably supported via a head tube 3 at the front end of a main frame 2 whose side surface is approximately L-shaped. The main frame 2 is made of a pipe material, and the lower front end of a rear frame 7 having an inverted L shape on the side is fixed to the rear end of the lower intermediate part 2a.
In the rear frame 7, a front portion 7a stands obliquely rearward and upward, and a rear portion 7b extends rearward from an upper portion of the front portion 7a. As is clear from Fig. 3, the rear frame 7 has a reverse concave channel shape that is open downward, and is made of a press-formed steel material.
The rear frame 7 includes a top piece 71 and side pieces 72, 72 bent downward from both left and right ends of the top piece 71. 72 has a certain interval. The side pieces 72, 72 are bent at least at the distal end 7c so that the lower end 72a curves outward symmetrically, and the rear end of the distal end 7c is bent downward to form a rear piece 73. and the lower end 73 of the rear piece 73
A is bent so as to curve backward.

The front end of a link 8 is pivotally connected to the joint between the rear end of the main frame 2 and the lower end of the rear frame 7, and the rear end of the link 8 is pivotally connected to the front end of a power unit 9 consisting of an engine, a transmission case, etc. , a rear wheel 10 is supported at the rear of the power unit 9, a rear action unit 11 is interposed between the rear of the power unit 9 and the rear part 7b of the rear frame 7, and a rear cover is provided around the front and rear parts of the rear frame. 12, and the front part 7a of the rear frame also serves as a seat post, on which a seat 13 is attached.

A rear fender 14 is provided below the rear cover 12, above the rear wheel 10, and below the rear portion 7b of the rear frame 7. The rear fender 14 is provided in front of and above the upper circumference of the rear wheel 10, and
It is arranged so as not to interfere with the buffer rising limit (lowering limit of the rear fender) of 0. rear fender 1
The rear wheel portion 14a of 4 extends rearward from directly below the rear piece 73 of the rear frame 7, and the lower end of the support stay 15 is bent from the rear piece 73 through a mounting hole 14c of a boss portion 14b formed in the rear end portion 14a. Align with the mounting hole 15b of the support piece 15a, pass the screw 16, and then tighten the nut 17.
The rear fender and the stay are connected to each other, and the rear fender is connected and supported to the rear frame side, and if necessary, the front part of the rear fender may be supported by being attached to a suitable position of the rear frame using a support stay or the like.

On the upper surface 14e of the rear part 14d of the rear fender 14, the rear frame 7 has side walls 141, 14 whose spacing is slightly narrower than that of the left and right side pieces 72, 72.
1 is erected, the side walls 141, 141 are long to some extent in the front-rear direction, and the height is such that the top part 141a is higher than the lower end 72a of the side pieces 72, 72,
That is, the side walls 141, 1 are placed in the downward groove of the rear frame.
41 and the side pieces 72, 72, the side walls enter so as to maintain a clearance between them. The front and rear walls 1 cross laterally and connect the front and rear ends of the side walls 141, 141.
42, 143 are set up at the front and back of the rear upper surface, and a partition wall 144 is set up at the middle part of the upper face in the front-rear direction so as to cross-divide the inner side of the middle part of the side wall. As described above, two electrical component mounting storage recesses A and B, which are open upward and surrounded on all four sides, are formed in the front and back, and in the embodiment, the support bottom is connected to the front wall 142 at the bottom of the front storage recess A at the front end. 145, and on the other hand, a support stand 146 is provided protrudingly above the rear storage recess B. Each of the above parts is integrally molded with the rear fender 14, and the rear fender and each part are molded from synthetic resin.

For example, a CDI unit 18 is mounted and stored in the front storage recess A, and a turn signal relay 19, for example, is mounted and stored in the rear storage recess B. These electrical components are installed in the storage recess of the rear fender 14 in advance, and the side wall 1 is installed from below the rear frame end 7c.
41, 141 is inserted so that it faces inside the side pieces 72, 72, and is set with screws, and the electrical components 18,
19 is doubly isolated from the outside world by the side pieces 72, 72 and the side walls 141, 141, and the front and rear are separated by the walls 142, 14.
3, and the top is blocked by the upper part 71 of the frame. Therefore, the electrical components are housed and held between the frame and the fender, isolated from the outside world.

As is clear from the above, according to the present invention, electrical components can be stored and mounted while being isolated from the outside world by utilizing the dead space between the top of the rear fender and the rear frame. It is possible to prevent the intrusion of rainwater, muddy water, and even dust, and to reliably protect electrical components.It is extremely advantageous in terms of space because it uses dead space, and the design freedom for attaching other equipment is also improved. Furthermore, since there is no need for separate brackets, covers, or boxes for electrical components, there are many advantages such as a reduction in the number of parts, man-hours, and costs.
