Description
本発明は、複数の操作入力部を有するスイッチケースがハンドルバーに設けられた鞍乗型車両に関する。
The present invention relates to a saddle-mounted vehicle in which a switch case having a plurality of operation input units is provided on a handlebar.
複数の操作入力部を有するスイッチケースがハンドルバーに設けられた鞍乗型車両が知られている。この鞍乗型車両では、前記複数の操作入力部は、左指示器操作入力部、右指示器操作入力部及びキャンセル操作入力部を含む。
A saddle-type vehicle is known in which a switch case having a plurality of operation input units is provided on the handlebar. In this saddle-mounted vehicle, the plurality of operation input units include a left indicator operation input unit, a right indicator operation input unit, and a cancel operation input unit.
例えば特許文献1には、ハンドルバーの把持用グリップ近傍に固定されたスイッチケースと、該スイッチケースに形成され、搭乗手段に搭載された各種電装品を操作可能な操作スイッチと、を具備したハンドルスイッチ装置が開示されている。
For example, Patent Document 1 includes a handle provided with a switch case fixed in the vicinity of a grip for gripping a handlebar, and an operation switch formed in the switch case and capable of operating various electrical components mounted on a boarding means. The switch device is disclosed.
前記操作スイッチは、被接触部に操作者が触れたことを検知して所定の電気信号を生じさせるタッチセンサから成る。このタッチセンサは、前記被接触部に対する操作者の指の所定方向の摺動を検知可能であり、当該摺動の方向に応じた電装品の操作が可能である。なお、前記スイッチケースには、前記タッチセンサの被接触部の周囲に、操作者の指の形状に倣った凹部が形成されている。
The operation switch comprises a touch sensor that detects that the operator touches the contacted portion and generates a predetermined electric signal. This touch sensor can detect the sliding of the operator's finger with respect to the contacted portion in a predetermined direction, and can operate the electrical component according to the sliding direction. The switch case has a recess formed around the contacted portion of the touch sensor, which follows the shape of the operator's finger.
なお、特許文献2には、操作ノブの左右方向の摺動操作により、可動接点と固定接点とが接触して2輪車に設けられた所望の側(左右何れかの側)のウィンカを点滅させるターンシグナルスイッチが開示されている。このターンシグナルスイッチでは、前記操作ノブの押し込み操作により、可動接点と固定接点とが離間して前記ウィンカの点滅をキャンセルさせる。
In Patent Document 2, the movable contact and the fixed contact come into contact with each other by sliding the operation knob in the left-right direction, and the blinker on the desired side (either the left or right side) provided on the two-wheeled vehicle blinks. The turn signal switch to make is disclosed. In this turn signal switch, by pushing the operation knob, the movable contact and the fixed contact are separated from each other to cancel the blinking of the winker.
しかしながら、上述の特許文献1に開示されているようなタッチセンサを、操作スイッチに適用した場合、例えば運転者の指が大きいと、運転者の指が複数のスイッチに同時に接触する可能性がある。一方、複数の操作スイッチの間隔を広げた場合、運転者の指が短いと、操作スイッチを操作しにくい。このように、タッチセンサによって構成される操作スイッチでは、複数のスイッチを使いやすい位置に配置することが難しい。
However, when a touch sensor as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is applied to an operation switch, for example, if the driver's finger is large, the driver's finger may come into contact with a plurality of switches at the same time. .. On the other hand, when the distance between the plurality of operation switches is widened, it is difficult to operate the operation switches if the driver's fingers are short. As described above, it is difficult to arrange a plurality of switches at easy-to-use positions in the operation switch composed of the touch sensor.
ところで、従来、左ターン操作入力部及び右ターン操作入力部を有するウィンカスイッチは、例えば、上述の特許文献2に開示される構成を有するスライド式のスイッチである。
By the way, conventionally, the winker switch having the left turn operation input unit and the right turn operation input unit is, for example, a slide type switch having the configuration disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2.
このようなスライド式のウィンカスイッチでは、上述のタッチセンサによって構成された操作スイッチのように運転者の指が触れただけでは動作しない。そのため、前記スライド式のウィンカスイッチは、運転者にとって分かりやすく使いやすい。
Such a slide-type winker switch does not operate just by touching the driver's finger like the operation switch configured by the above-mentioned touch sensor. Therefore, the slide-type winker switch is easy for the driver to understand and use.
しかしながら、上述のようなスライド式のウィンカスイッチの場合でも、運転者の指が短い場合には、前記操作ノブを手のひらに向かって引き込む方向に操作する際に、前記操作ノブに指が届きにくい。一方、運転者の指が長い場合には、前記操作ノブを手のひらに対して離れる方向に操作する際に、指が窮屈な動作を強いられる。このように、スライド式のウィンカスイッチの場合には、指が短い場合及び長い場合の両方に対応可能なスイッチの構成にするのが難しい。
However, even in the case of the slide-type winker switch as described above, if the driver's finger is short, it is difficult for the finger to reach the operation knob when operating the operation knob in the direction of pulling it toward the palm. On the other hand, when the driver's fingers are long, the fingers are forced to perform cramped movements when the operation knob is operated in a direction away from the palm. As described above, in the case of a slide-type winker switch, it is difficult to configure a switch that can handle both short and long fingers.
これに対し、指の長さに関係なく、運転者が使いやすいスイッチの構成が求められている。
On the other hand, there is a demand for a switch configuration that is easy for the driver to use, regardless of the length of the finger.

本発明者は、ハンドルバーに設けられたスイッチケースが操作入力部を有する鞍乗型車両において、運転者の指の長さが異なる場合でも、運転者の使いやすさの変化を抑制可能な操作入力部の構成について検討した。
The present inventor is an operation capable of suppressing a change in the usability of a driver even if the length of the driver's finger is different in a saddle-mounted vehicle in which the switch case provided on the handlebar has an operation input unit. The configuration of the input section was examined.
本発明者は、鋭意検討の結果、以下のような構成に想到した。
As a result of diligent studies, the present inventor came up with the following configuration.
本発明の一実施形態に係る鞍乗型車両は、左指示器と、右指示器と、ハンドルバーと、前記ハンドルバーに配置されたグリップと、前記ハンドルバーに前記グリップよりも車両中央の位置で固定され、複数の操作入力部を有するスイッチケースと、を備えている。前記複数の操作入力部は、前記左指示器を点灯させる左指示器操作入力部と、前記右指示器を点灯させる右指示器操作入力部と、前記左指示器及び前記右指示器の点灯を停止させるキャンセル操作入力部と、を含む。前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部は、押しボタン型のスイッチによって構成され、且つ、運転者が前記グリップを握った状態で前記グリップを握った手の親指の可動範囲内に並んで位置する。
The saddle-mounted vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a left indicator, a right indicator, a handlebar, a grip arranged on the handlebar, and a position on the handlebar at the center of the vehicle rather than the grip. It is equipped with a switch case, which is fixed by and has a plurality of operation input units. The plurality of operation input units include a left indicator operation input unit for lighting the left indicator, a right indicator operation input unit for lighting the right indicator, and lighting of the left indicator and the right indicator. Includes a cancel operation input unit to stop. The left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit are composed of push button type switches, and the hand holding the grip while the driver holds the grip. Located side by side within the range of motion of the thumb.
これにより、運転者がグリップを握った状態で、前記親指によって、左指示器操作入力部、右指示器操作入力部及びキャンセル操作入力部を操作することができる。すなわち、運転者が前記グリップを握りなおすことなく、前記グリップを握った手の親指によって、前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部を操作することができる。
As a result, the driver can operate the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit with the thumb while the driver holds the grip. That is, the driver can operate the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit with the thumb of the hand holding the grip without re-grasping the grip. ..
しかも、上述の構成にすることで、運転者の親指の長さが異なる場合でも、運転者は、親指のいずれかの部位(例えば、先端部、基端部など)によって、前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部を操作可能である。すなわち、上述のように、運転者が前記グリップを握った状態で前記グリップを握った手の親指の可動範囲内に上述の各操作入力部を配置することで、運転者の親指の長さが異なっていても、親指の一部によって、前記各操作入力部を操作することができる。
Moreover, with the above configuration, even if the length of the driver's thumb is different, the driver can operate the left indicator by any part of the thumb (for example, the tip portion, the base end portion, etc.). The input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit can be operated. That is, as described above, by arranging each of the above-mentioned operation input units within the movable range of the thumb of the hand holding the grip while the driver holds the grip, the length of the driver's thumb can be increased. Even if they are different, each operation input unit can be operated by a part of the thumb.
また、前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部は、押しボタン型のスイッチによって構成されている。そのため、運転者は、前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部を認識しやすいとともに、前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部を、運転者が誤って触っても、誤操作が生じにくい。
Further, the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit are configured by a push button type switch. Therefore, the driver can easily recognize the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit, and also the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the right indicator operation input unit. Even if the driver accidentally touches the cancel operation input unit, erroneous operation is unlikely to occur.
したがって、前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部の使いやすさを向上できる。
Therefore, the ease of use of the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit can be improved.
他の観点によれば、本発明の鞍乗型車両は、以下の構成を含むことが好ましい。前記キャンセル操作入力部は、前記親指の可動範囲内で前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部が並んだ状態で、それらの中央に位置する。
From another point of view, it is preferable that the saddle-type vehicle of the present invention includes the following configurations. The cancel operation input unit is located at the center of the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit arranged side by side within the movable range of the thumb.
これにより、左指示器操作入力部、右指示器操作入力部及びキャンセル操作入力部の配置を、運転者が直観的に認識しやすくなる。よって、前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部の使いやすさを向上できる。
This makes it easier for the driver to intuitively recognize the arrangement of the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit. Therefore, the ease of use of the left indicator operation input unit, the right indicator operation input unit, and the cancel operation input unit can be improved.
他の観点によれば、本発明の鞍乗型車両は、以下の構成を含むことが好ましい。前記キャンセル操作入力部の少なくとも一部は、前記親指の可動範囲を前記親指の付け根を中心とした回転方向に4つの領域に分割した場合に、前記4つの領域のうち前記回転方向の中央に位置する2つの領域内に位置する。
From another point of view, it is preferable that the saddle-type vehicle of the present invention includes the following configurations. At least a part of the cancel operation input unit is located at the center of the four regions in the rotation direction when the movable range of the thumb is divided into four regions in the rotation direction centered on the base of the thumb. It is located in two areas.
これにより、運転者の親指によって、キャンセル操作入力部を容易に操作することができる。よって、前記キャンセル操作入力部の使いやすさを向上できる。
This makes it possible to easily operate the cancel operation input unit with the thumb of the driver. Therefore, the ease of use of the cancel operation input unit can be improved.
他の観点によれば、本発明の鞍乗型車両は、以下の構成を含むことが好ましい。前記キャンセル操作入力部の形状は、前記左指示器操作入力部及び前記右指示器操作入力部の形状とは異なる。
From another point of view, it is preferable that the saddle-type vehicle of the present invention includes the following configurations. The shape of the cancel operation input unit is different from the shape of the left indicator operation input unit and the right indicator operation input unit.
これにより、運転者は、親指の感触によって、キャンセル操作入力部を容易に認識することができる。よって、前記キャンセル操作入力部の使いやすさを向上できる。
This allows the driver to easily recognize the cancel operation input unit by the touch of the thumb. Therefore, the ease of use of the cancel operation input unit can be improved.
他の観点によれば、本発明の鞍乗型車両は、以下の構成を含むことが好ましい。前記複数の操作入力部において各操作入力部が動作する作用点の間隔は、1/3インチから1.5インチである。
From another point of view, it is preferable that the saddle-type vehicle of the present invention includes the following configurations. The interval between the points of action in which each operation input unit operates in the plurality of operation input units is 1/3 inch to 1.5 inch.
親指が長い運転者は、親指において先端よりも付け根に近い部分でスイッチを押す。一方、親指が短い運転者は、親指において付け根よりも先端に近い部分でスイッチを押す。一般的に、親指の長さは、1インチから1.5インチである。また、鞍乗型車両のハンドルに位置するスイッチは、一般的に、1/3インチ(およそ8.5mm)である。
A driver with a long thumb presses the switch at the part of the thumb closer to the base than the tip. On the other hand, a driver with a short thumb presses the switch at the part of the thumb closer to the tip than the base. Generally, the length of the thumb is 1 inch to 1.5 inches. Also, the switch located on the steering wheel of a saddle-mounted vehicle is generally 1/3 inch (approximately 8.5 mm).
そのため、上述の構成のように、各操作入力部の作用点の間隔を、1/3インチから1.5インチにすることで、親指で操作できる範囲内でスイッチ同士が重ならない位置に、各操作入力部を配置することができる。
Therefore, as in the above configuration, by changing the distance between the action points of each operation input unit from 1/3 inch to 1.5 inch, the switches can be placed at positions where the switches do not overlap within the range that can be operated with the thumb. The operation input unit can be arranged.
したがって、複数の操作入力部の使いやすさを向上できる。
Therefore, the ease of use of multiple operation input units can be improved.
他の観点によれば、本発明の鞍乗型車両は、以下の構成を含むことが好ましい。前記左指示器操作入力部及び前記右指示器操作入力部は、一つのスイッチによって構成されている。
From another point of view, it is preferable that the saddle-type vehicle of the present invention includes the following configurations. The left indicator operation input unit and the right indicator operation input unit are composed of one switch.
これにより、左指示器操作入力部及び右指示器操作入力部を容易に構成でき、スイッチケースの部品点数を削減できる。しかも、一つのスイッチの操作によって、前記左指示器操作入力部及び前記右指示器操作入力部を操作することができる。
This makes it possible to easily configure the left indicator operation input section and the right indicator operation input section, and reduce the number of parts in the switch case. Moreover, the left indicator operation input unit and the right indicator operation input unit can be operated by operating one switch.
他の観点によれば、本発明の鞍乗型車両は、以下の構成を含むことが好ましい。前記左指示器操作入力部、前記右指示器操作入力部及び前記キャンセル操作入力部は、一つのスイッチによって構成されている。

By the way, the state in which the driver holds the left grip 51b with the left hand 9 means the state in which the left grip 51b is held from above by the left hand 9 during driving. The movable range X of the thumb of the left hand 9 means a range in which the extended thumb of the left hand 9 rotates in the vertical direction around the base of the left grip 51b when the driver holds the left grip 51b by the left hand 9. As shown in FIG. 1, the movable range X is a fan shape surrounded by two radii of a circle centered on the base of the thumb of the left hand 9 and an arc between them when viewed from behind, for example, about. It is 70 degrees. The fact that the left indicator operation input unit 11, the right indicator operation input unit 12, and the cancel operation input unit 13 are located side by side within the movable range X of the thumb of the left hand 9 means that the left indicator operation input unit is located within the movable range X. 11. It means that the right indicator operation input unit 12 and the cancel operation input unit 13 are lined up in the movable direction of the thumb of the left hand 9.
なお、左手9の親指によってスイッチケース7の操作入力部を操作可能な範囲は、運転者が左手9によって左グリップ51bを握った状態において、左手9の親指の付け根から右に例えば45mmから65mmの範囲である。
The range in which the operation input unit of the switch case 7 can be operated by the thumb of the left hand 9 is, for example, 45 mm to 65 mm to the right from the base of the thumb of the left hand 9 when the driver holds the left grip 51b by the left hand 9. The range.
本実施形態1では、鞍乗型車両1は、左指示器6aと、右指示器と、左ハンドルバー51aと、左ハンドルバー51a上に配置された左グリップ51bと、左ハンドルバー51aに左グリップ51bよりも車両中央の位置で固定され、複数の操作入力部を有するスイッチケース7と、を備えている。複数の操作入力部は、左指示器6aを点灯させる左指示器操作入力部11と、右指示器を点灯させる右指示器操作入力部12と、左指示器6a及び右指示器の点灯を停止させるキャンセル操作入力部13と、を含む。左指示器操作入力部11、右指示器操作入力部12及びキャンセル操作入力部13は、押しボタン型のスイッチによって構成され、且つ、運転者が左グリップ51bを握った状態で左グリップ51bを握った手の親指の可動範囲X内に並んで位置する。
In the first embodiment, the saddle-mounted vehicle 1 has a left indicator 6a, a right indicator, a left handlebar 51a, a left grip 51b arranged on the left handlebar 51a, and a left handlebar 51a.

Moreover, with the above configuration, even if the length of the driver's thumb is different, the driver can input the operation of the left indicator by any part of the thumb (for example, the tip portion, the base end portion, etc.). The unit 11, the right indicator operation input unit 12, and the cancel operation input unit 13 can be operated. That is, as described above, by arranging each of the above-mentioned operation input units within the movable range X of the thumb of the hand holding the left grip 51b while the driver holds the left grip 51b, the driver's thumb Even if the lengths are different, each operation input unit can be operated by a part of the thumb.
また、左指示器操作入力部11、右指示器操作入力部12及びキャンセル操作入力部13は、押しボタン型のスイッチによって構成されている。そのため、運転者は、左指示器操作入力部11、右指示器操作入力部12及びキャンセル操作入力部13を認識しやすいとともに、左指示器操作入力部11、右指示器操作入力部12及びキャンセル操作入力部13を、運転者が誤って触っても、誤操作が生じにくい。
Further, the left indicator operation input unit 11, the right indicator operation input unit 12, and the cancel operation input unit 13 are composed of push button type switches. Therefore, the driver can easily recognize the left indicator operation input unit 11, the right indicator operation input unit 12, and the cancel operation input unit 13, and the left indicator operation input unit 11, the right indicator operation input unit 12, and the cancel operation input unit 13.
