Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an electrical equipment mounting device that allows various electrical equipment such as voltage regulators and turn signal relays to be integrated and efficiently mounted on the body frame of a motorcycle or tricycle.

Conventionally, in motorcycles and tricycles, various electrical devices have been installed individually at appropriate locations on the vehicle body, and the installation locations are scattered, so it is quite difficult to install electrical devices on the vehicle assembly line. There are problems that take up a lot of time.

Therefore, in the present invention, an electrical equipment room that opens at the front of the rear frame is defined by a pair of left and right side frames that make up the rear frame and a cross member that connects these both side frames. By removably fixing a common support plate with pre-installed equipment, on the vehicle assembly line, simply attaching one support plate to the rear frame allows all electrical equipment to be assembled and installed at once, reducing assembly time. The installation of the electrical equipment is simple and effective, with a significant reduction in time, and by closing the open surface of the electrical equipment room with a cover, all the electrical equipment can be protected from dust, etc. with one cover. The purpose is to provide equipment.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a scooter will be explained with reference to the drawings. In Fig. 1,
The vehicle body frame 1 consists of a front frame 1f and a rear frame 1r, and the front frame 1f has a head pipe 2 and an L extending rearward from the head pipe 2.
It is composed of a down tube 3 extending in a letter shape. The rear frame 1r has a pair of side frames 4, 4 arranged at a constant interval on the left and right sides (see Fig. 2).
and a plurality of cross members 5 (only the frontmost cross member is shown in the figure) that connects the two side frames 4, 4 at several points in the longitudinal direction. The rear end of the down tube 3 is connected. Each of the side frames 4, 4 is bent in the middle, and has a rising part 4a rising obliquely rearward from the joint part with the down tube 3, and a horizontal part 4b extending horizontally rearward from the upper end thereof.

A steering shaft 7a of a front fork 7 that pivotally supports a front wheel 6f is attached to the head pipe 2, and a floor 8 is formed on the down tube 3. Also,
Below the horizontal portion 4b of the rear frame 1r is a power unit 1 that integrally includes an engine 9 and a transmission device 10 that supports and drives the rear wheels 6r.
1 is disposed, and this power unit 11 has its front end suspended from a rising portion 4a of the rear frame 1r via a link 12, and its rear end suspended from a horizontal portion 4b via a shock absorber 13. Ru. Furthermore,
A sheet 14 is attached on the horizontal portion 4b.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, at the rising portion 4a of the rear frame 1r, a cross member 5 connects the left and right side frames 4, 4 and the down tube 3.
The upper half is bent into an L-shape and occupies a position set back from the front surfaces of the side frames 4, 4. This L-shaped portion 5a and the side frames 4, 4 create an electrical equipment compartment 15 with an open front.
is defined. In this electrical equipment room 15, a common support plate 16 on which various electrical equipment is attached in advance is removably fixed to the vertical wall of the L-shaped portion 5a with a plurality of bolts 17, 17. As various electrical equipment,
In the illustrated example, the generator voltage regulator 18, the ignition CDI
A unit 19, a turn signal relay 20, a starter electromagnetic switch 21, and the like are provided.Next, the structure for attaching these devices to the support plate 16 will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 7, the support plate 16 has a first horizontal bracket 221 at the top and a second bracket ₂₂₁ that stands upward.
It has a bracket ₂₂₂ , an L-shaped third bracket ₂₂₃ at the bottom, and a pair of left and right fourth brackets ₂₂₄ , ₂₂₄ extending horizontally. The voltage regulator 18 is fixed to the first bracket ₂₂₁ by bolts 23, and the voltage regulator 18 is fixed to the first bracket 221 by bolts 23.
₂ is fitted with a locking hole 24a of an elastic support band 24 tied to the CDI unit 19, and a locking hole 25a of an elastic support band 25 tied to the turn signal relay 20 is fitted into the _third bracket 223. A pair of locking holes _26a , 26a of an elastic support band 26 wrapped around the electromagnetic switch 21 are fitted into the pair of fourth brackets 224, ₂₂₄ .

The front open surface of the electrical equipment room 15 is closed by a cover 27. As shown in FIG. 6, this cover 27 is made of synthetic resin and has a box shape, and has one upwardly directed elastic locking claw 28 at the upper end, and a pair of downwardly directed locking claws 29, 29 at the lower end. We are prepared. Correspondingly, one locking hole 30 is formed at the upper end of the L-shaped portion 5a of the cross member 5, and a pair of left and right locking holes 31, 31 are formed at the lower end. When installing the cover 27, first insert the lower locking claws 29, 29 into the locking holes 31, 31, and then insert the upper locking claws 28 into the locking holes 30 while pressing down with your fingers. This is to engage the object.

As shown in FIG. 3, a wire harness 32 is arranged along the vehicle body frame 1, and predetermined cords 32 ₁ to 32 branch from this wire harness 32.
₄ is connected to each of the electrical equipment 18-21. These cords 32 ₁ are attached to the lower end wall of the cover 27.
_-32-4 insertion notches 33 are provided, and the side wall is provided with an insertion hole 34 for a cord _32-5 that is led out from the electrical equipment room 15, and furthermore, the front wall is provided with an insertion hole 34 for a cord 32-5 that branches out from the wire harness 32. A clip 35 for holding a cord ₃₂₆ is integrally formed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the rear frame 1
An electrical equipment room 15 that opens at the front of the rear frame 1r is formed using a pair of left and right side frames 4, 4 of r and a cross member 5 that connects them.
Since the common support plate 16 on which various electrical devices 18 to 21 are attached in advance is removably fixed to the inner wall, the various electrical devices 18 to 21 are assembled in advance on the common support plate 16, and the various electrical devices 18 to 21 are assembled in advance on the common support plate 16. Various electrical equipment 18~ can be assembled by simply assembling it into the electrical equipment compartment 15 on the vehicle assembly line.
21 can be attached to the vehicle body all at once, greatly improving the efficiency of vehicle assembly work.
Moreover, since the electrical equipment 18 to 21 are installed at the joint between the side frames 4, 4 and the cross member 5, which have particularly high rigidity, the electrical equipment 18 to 21 are mounted at the joints between the side frames 4, 4 and the cross member 5.
-21 vibrations are less likely to occur, which has a positive effect on their lifespan.Furthermore, since no special members are used to form the electrical equipment compartment 15, the structure is simple and can contribute to reducing the weight of the vehicle body.

Furthermore, since the opening of the electrical equipment room 15 is closed with the cover 27, the various electrical equipment 18-21 can be protected from dust and the like by the single cover 27, and the structure can be further simplified.
