Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a waterproof structure for a cassette player in a motorcycle.

Recently, there has been a trend towards luxury motorcycles, and some models are already equipped with radio receivers such as transceivers. It is possible to install it. Motorcycles equipped with cassette players are required to have excellent waterproof properties, especially since they are often driven in the rain.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a waterproof structure for a cassette player in a motorcycle that has excellent waterproof properties.

The waterproof structure of the cassette player according to the present invention is as follows:
The first cassette insertion slot opens toward the top of the vehicle body.
A second cover is attached to the first cover so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and an operating section provided on the rear side of the vehicle body from the cassette insertion opening is covered in a concealed manner. It is structured as follows.

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 in the space located on the right side of the vehicle body, a radio unit main body 4, which is a circuit main body, a transceiver unit main body 5, a power amplifier 6, etc. are installed as a radio controller. 7. The transceiver controller 8 and other operating parts are housed separately from each other, and since these circuit bodies generate a larger amount of heat than the operating parts, they are placed near the air duct hole 18 provided in the front cowl 1. ing. On the other hand, in the space located on the left side of the vehicle body, there are a radio controller 7, a transceiver controller 8, an intercom controller 9, an antenna distributor 10, and a multi-channel gear 11.
A cassette player 12 is housed near the bottom of the left grip 3A of the handle 3. In particular, the operation parts of the radio controller 7 and the cassette player 12 are arranged directly below the left grip 3A of the handle 3.

Further, the front cowl 1 has at least two continuous upper surfaces, and is formed such that the rear surface 1B has a larger inclination angle than the front surface 1A in the running direction. The aforementioned radio controller 7 is arranged on the inclined surface 1B so that the lower part of the operating surface is located closer to the center of the vehicle body than the upper part.

The cassette player 12, as shown in FIG.
It is attached to the inclined surface 1A at the front side of the front cowl 1 so as to be inclined with respect to the vehicle body in the running direction, and is arranged in tandem with the radio controller 7. 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. That is, when the eject button 13 is pressed with the middle finger of the left hand, 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. As shown in FIG. 2, the radio select switch 15 is mounted in a mirror mounting hole (not shown) through a fixture 35, as shown in FIG. ing. 1
9L and 19R are left and right speakers, and 20 is a meter panel equipped with various indicators such as audio equipment, and these are installed in the front cowl 1. In particular, the meter panel 20 is arranged in the center of 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 24 housing the inner case 21 is fixed to the front cowl 1 at its upper surface by screws 25 as fixing means. The screw 25 is a flange 21 provided on the inner case 21 as a cover member so that it cannot be seen from the outside when the player main body 12 and the inner case 21 are housed in the outer case 24.
Covered by A.

26 is a locking means for locking the player main body 12 to the vehicle body, and the locking means 26
are provided on the inner case 21 so as not to impair the vibration-proofing effect of the vibration-proofing rubber 22.
By inserting the inner case 21 into the outer case 24, the locking means 26 locks the lock claw 26A.
is the engaging portion 24A provided on the outer case 24.
When engaged, it becomes locked.

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, holes 29A and 29B for finger hooks are formed in 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 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 player 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 3 that is detachable from the player body 12.
4A and an inner cover 34B that is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body with respect to the outer cover 34A. Then, the outer cover 34A is installed so as to be positioned above the cassette insertion opening 14, and the inner cover 34B is slid relative to the outer cover 34A in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, so that the cassette insertion opening 14 is positioned toward the rear of the vehicle body. The operating section, which includes a volume adjustment knob, etc., is appropriately covered.

As explained above, in the waterproof structure of the cassette player for a motorcycle according to the present invention,
The cassette insertion slot opened above the cassette player is covered with a first cover, and the operating section of the cassette insertion slot provided on the rear side of the vehicle body is attached to the first cover so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. Since the cassette player is covered with the second cover in a concealable manner, an excellent waterproof structure can be obtained that can protect the cassette player from wind and rain. In addition, the operation part provided on the rear side of the vehicle body of the cassette insertion port can be hidden from view by a second cover that is slidably provided in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body with respect to the first cover that covers the cassette insertion port. Since the cassette player is covered by a cassette player, it is possible to operate the cassette player by partially exposing only the operating section while driving in the rain. In this case, since raindrops scatter from the front toward the rear, the first cover covering the cassette insertion opening in front of the operating section prevents raindrops from falling on the operating section. Therefore, it is possible to operate the operating section of the cassette player while preventing raindrops from falling on the operating section while driving in the rain, and it is possible to enjoy playing with the cassette player even when driving in the rain.
