[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a daylight system for controlling lighting of a headlamp of a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some motorcycles are equipped with a daylight system in which a headlamp is turned on during running, regardless of day or night. As a prior art, there is, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-105245.

[0003] According to the conventional motorcycle daylight system, the engine is always lit when the engine is in operation, regardless of whether the vehicle is running or stopped.

[0004]

However, many of the motorcycle headlamp lighting circuits charge a battery mounted on the vehicle with electric power from a generator driven by an engine, and use the electric power from the battery to operate the headlamp. In the conventional daylight system described above, when the engine is warming up or idling for a long time, the amount of discharge from the battery exceeds the amount of charge, and the battery is abnormally discharged. The battery may run out.

If the headlights are lit while the vehicle is stopped at a traffic light or the like, the light of the headlamps may unnecessarily illuminate the interior of a preceding vehicle or an oncoming vehicle, or the interior of a private house near the road. In some cases, it may not be preferable.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned point, and has an automatic lamp in which a headlight is turned off by a driver's intention when a motorcycle is stopped, and the headlamp is automatically turned on only when the motorcycle is running. An object of the present invention is to provide a motorcycle daylight system.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, a motorcycle daylight system according to the present invention is provided.
In a motorcycle headlight lighting circuit that connects a headlamp to a power supply via a lighting relay and lights up,
A light-off relay is attached to the headlight lighting circuit, and a stop switch connected to a vehicle stop-related element and a light-off switch manually operated by a driver are connected in series to a relay coil of the light-off relay. The relay switch of the light-off relay is connected in series to the relay coil of the light-on relay, and the driver operates the light-off switch when the vehicle stops to operate the light-off relay. The light is turned off.

[0008]

According to the motorcycle daylight system of the present invention, while the vehicle is running, the stop switch is opened, the power to the light-off relay is cut off, the light-on relay is turned on, and the headlight is automatically turned on. Turn on.

When the driver closes the switch for turning off the light while the vehicle stops and the stop switch connected to the stop-related element of the vehicle is closed, the relay for lighting is turned off by energizing the relay for turning off the light. Turn off the headlights.

[0010]

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

FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a headlamp lighting circuit showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a battery serving as a power supply, which is charged by rectifying an alternating current generated in a generator 2 driven by an engine (not shown). is there.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a battery 1 via a lighting relay 4.
The headlamp connected to is turned on when the lighting relay 4 is turned on. In the embodiment, the alternating current from the generator 2 is supplied to the relay coil 4a through the diode 5, and the current supply closes the normally open contact relay switch 4b to turn on the headlamp 3.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an extinguishing relay for controlling the lighting relay 4. The relay 6 includes a relay coil 6a connected to the battery 1 and a normally closed contact relay switch 6b connected in series to the relay coil 4a of the lighting relay 4. By energizing the relay coil 6a of the light-off relay 6, the relay switch 6b is opened and the light-on relay 4 is turned off.

A stop switch 7 is connected to the ground side of the relay coil 6a of the light-off relay 6.
Is connected to a stop-related element so as to be opened while the vehicle is running and closed in series while the vehicle is stopped.For example, a wheel or the like is provided as a stop-related element, and is provided at a predetermined location of the vehicle. A stop switch that operates with a signal from a detector that detects the running state and the stop state of the vehicle, and a clutch as a stop related element, and a signal from a detector that detects the movement of the clutch lever, Release (running) opens, clutch switch of the changeover switch type that switches to the earth side when the clutch lever is depressed (stop),
In addition, a neutral switch that opens when the transmission is not in the neutral position and closes when the transmission is in the neutral position is used as a signal from a detector that detects the position of the transmission, using the transmission as a stop-related element. Is done. Further, the stop switch 7 may be a switch in which a plurality of switches respectively connected to a plurality of different stop related elements are combined and closed in series. In the embodiment, the stop switch 7 is turned off and the relay coil
Connected to the ground side of 6a.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a light-off switch connected to the battery 1 side of the relay coil 6a of the light-off relay 6, and the light-off switch 8 is used to manually turn off the headlight 3 when the vehicle is stopped by a driver's intention. In this embodiment, the switch 8 for turning off the normally open contact is used.
Is used. A self-holding circuit 9 is formed by connecting the battery 1 side and the relay coil 6a side of the light-off switch 8 through a self-holding normally open contact relay switch 6c provided on the light-off relay 6. I have.

In the above configuration, the conditions for turning off the headlamp 3 include a stop switch 7 and a light-off switch.
This is established by energizing the relay coil 6a of the light-off relay 6 via 8.

For example, when the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is in the neutral position, the stop switch 7 is closed with the clutch lever released, and the driver manually closes the switch 8 for turning off the light. When the relay coil 6a of the light-off relay 6 is energized, the relay switch 6b is opened, and the energization of the relay coil 4a of the lighting relay 4 is cut off, the lighting relay 4 is turned off, and the relay switch 4b is opened. The headlamp 3 is turned off. Here, when the driver's hand is released from the light-off switch 8, the self-holding circuit 9 keeps energizing the relay coil 6a.

When the vehicle starts running and a stop switch 7 connected to a stop-related element of the vehicle is opened, the relay coil
When the power to 6a is cut off, the light-off relay 6 is turned off, the light-on relay 4 is turned on, and the headlamp 3 is turned on automatically.

[0020]

As described above, according to the daylight system according to the present invention, the headlights are turned off by the driver's intention when the vehicle is stopped, and the headlights are automatically turned on when the vehicle starts running again. As a result, there is no danger that the battery will discharge and cause the battery to run down when the engine is warming up or idling for a long period of time, reducing the load on the battery. This provides an excellent effect that the light of the lamp does not illuminate the vicinity.
