Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mounting structure for audio equipment such as a cassette player in a motorcycle.

Recently, there has been a trend towards luxury motorcycles, and some are already equipped with radio receivers, walkie-talkies, etc., but if you want to make them even more luxurious, you may need to install a cassette player just like you would with a car. It is possible to install it. As described above, when mounting audio equipment such as a cassette player on a motorcycle, various problems such as operability, vibration proofing, waterproofing, and theft prevention must be solved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for audio equipment that is excellent in vibration-proofing properties, waterproof properties, and anti-theft properties.

In order to achieve this object, the mounting structure for audio equipment according to the present invention stores the audio equipment in a case member via a vibration isolating member, and stores the case member in the car body member in a suspended state from an opening in the car body member. However, the case member is provided with a locking means for the vehicle body member, and a flange portion is formed to cover the opening of the vehicle body member and the locking means when the case member is housed in the vehicle body member.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a motorcycle according to the present invention seen from a riding position, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show left and right side views. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a front cowl equipped with a screen 2. The cowl 1 is composed of an outer plate and an inner plate, and is constructed integrally with the vehicle body, and is, as a matter of course, separate from the handlebar 3. A space is defined by the outer and inner plates of the front cowl 1, and the radio unit body 4, transceiver unit body 5, power amplifier 6, etc. are housed in the space located on the right side of the vehicle body. A cassette player 12 is housed in the space located near the bottom of the left grip 3A of the handle 3, along with a radio controller 7, a transceiver controller 8, an intercom controller 9, an antenna distributor 10, and a multi-changer 11. .

The cassette player 12, as shown in FIG.
It is installed at an angle to the vehicle body in the direction of travel. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the eject button 13 of the cassette player 12 is arranged outside the cassette insertion opening 14 with respect to the vehicle body, thereby improving the operability of the cassette player 12. In other words, use the middle finger of your left hand to press the Ejiek button 1.
When 3 is pressed, the ejected cassette half (not shown) is always returned to the palm of the left hand, thereby preventing it from flying out.

15 and 16 are a radio select switch and a transceiver talk switch attached near the left grip 3A of the handle 3, and 17 is a fuel tank. 18 is an air duct hole, 19L and 19R are left and right speakers, and 20 is a meter panel equipped with various indicators, which are installed in the front cowl 1.

4 is a perspective view showing the cassette player in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the cassette player in FIG.
A sectional view taken along the line A, and a sectional view taken along the line B-B are shown in FIG. 6, respectively. Reference numeral 21 denotes an inner case that houses the player body 12, and the case 21 supports the player body 12 in a floating manner via a vibration isolating member such as a vibration isolating rubber 22.
A seal rubber 23 is interposed between the top panel of the player body 12 and the top opening of the inner case 21 to provide waterproof measures to prevent rainwater from entering the case. The outer case, that is, the vehicle body member 24 that houses the inner case 21 is fixed to the front cowl 1 at its upper surface by screws 25 as fixing means. The vehicle body member 24 is provided with an opening for storing the inner case 21 in a suspended state. The screw 25 is the player body 12
and a flange 21 provided on the inner case 21 as a cover member so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the inner case 21 is housed in the vehicle body member 24.
Covered by A. Further, the flange 21A is formed to cover the opening of the vehicle body member 24 and the vicinity of the locking means 26 when the inner case 21 is housed in the vehicle body member 24.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a locking means for locking the player main body 12 to the vehicle body, and the locking means 2
6 is provided on the inner case 21 so as not to impair the anti-vibration effect of the anti-vibration rubber 22. The locking means 26 enters the locked state when the inner case 21 is inserted into the vehicle body member 24, and the lock claw 26A engages with the engaging portion 24A provided on the outer case 24.

As described above, the inner case 21 is inclined so that the front side in the running direction is higher with respect to the car body, just as the player main body 12 is inclined with respect to the car body in the running direction, and a stepped portion 21B located at the upper end. The crank 2 is provided with a locking means 26 on the outer case 24.
As shown in FIG. 4, finger hook holes 29A and 29B are formed at the lower end that engages with the player body 12 so that the player body 12 can be inserted and lifted when the player body 12 is removed from the vehicle body.

In the player main body 12, a cassette lid 30 can be opened and closed on the outside of the cassette insertion opening 14 in order to prevent rainwater etc. from entering the inside of the main body. A seal rubber 31 as a waterproof member is provided,
Furthermore, a tapered convex portion 32 is formed around the insertion port 14. The cassette lid 30 is opened and closed by a link 33. 34 is a cover that covers the operation section of the player body 12, and the cover 34 is an outer cover 34 that is detachable from the player body 12.
A and an inner cover 34B that is slidable with respect to the outer cover 34A.

As detailed above, in the present invention, the audio equipment is floatingly supported by the case member via the anti-vibration rubber, and the locking means for the vehicle body is provided in the case member. Since there is no need to provide a holding means, it is possible to obtain an excellent vibration isolation effect against car body vibrations with a simple structure, and since the case member is housed in a suspended state from the opening with respect to the car body member, it can be easily removed from the car body. Transmitted vibrations can be effectively cut off. Furthermore, the flange portion formed on the case member covers the opening and the vicinity of the locking means when the case member is housed in the vehicle body member through the opening, thereby preventing water and dust from entering from the opening and the vicinity of the locking means. In addition, the locking means is difficult to destroy from the outside, which is effective in preventing theft. Further, since the case member is supported in a suspended state from the opening of the vehicle body member, the audio equipment can be mounted and fixed using only a simple locking means without requiring a high-strength fixing means.
