Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a speaker for a motorcycle.

Recently, there has been a trend toward luxury motorcycles, and motorcycles equipped with audio equipment such as radio receivers are already known.

When installing this audio equipment, if a speaker is used alone, the sounds in front and behind the speaker will interfere and cancel out the bass.

Furthermore, if the system is used by being attached to a speaker cabinet, the system becomes large in size, the mounting structure becomes complicated, and the load acting on the mounting portion becomes large.

Furthermore, when mounted on a motorcycle, the speaker device will be exposed to the outside air, so protection measures against rainwater and the like are also required.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a motorcycle speaker that has the same acoustic function as one used without using a speaker cabinet.

According to the present invention, a chamber having a predetermined volume is defined on the inner plate of the front cowl, which is located in front of the steering wheel and inside the lower part of the windscreen provided at the top of the front cowl, and a mounting hole is formed on the rear surface of this chamber in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. a standing wall portion formed with a wall portion, a speaker is mounted in the mounting hole facing toward the rear of the vehicle body, and a porous hole is provided outside the mounting hole to cover the speaker with a predetermined space between it and the front surface of the speaker. The front cowl also doubles as a speaker cabinet.

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 as seen from a riding position, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show left and right side views.

In the figure, 1 is a front cowl equipped with a screen 2. The cowl 1 consists of an outer plate and an inner plate, and is constructed integrally with the vehicle body, and is naturally separate from the handlebar 3. .

A space is defined by the front cowl 1, the outer plate, and the inner plate, and the radio unit 4 is located in the space located on the right side of the vehicle body.
, a transceiver unit main body 5, a power amplifier 6, and other audio equipment are housed, and a radio controller 7 and a transceiver controller 8 are housed in the space located on the left side of the vehicle body.
, an intercom controller 9, an antenna destroyer 10, and a multi-changer 11, as well as a cassette player 12 located near the bottom of the left grip 3A of the handle 3.
is stored.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cassette player 12 is mounted obliquely with respect to the vehicle body in the traveling direction.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the eject button 13 of the cassette player 12 is arranged outside the cassette insertion slot 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 human 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, 20 is a meter panel equipped with various indicators,
These are installed on the front cowl 1.

FIG. 4 shows a speaker mounting structure, in which speakers 19L and 19R are mounted on a front cowl 1, and this front cowl is also used as a speaker cabinet.

That is, the inner plate 1a of the front cowl 1 located in front of the handlebar 3 and on the lower inner side of the windscreen 2.
, an upright wall portion 23 defining a speaker rear chamber 22 having a predetermined volume and having a mounting hole 21 formed on the rear surface of this chamber 22 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body is provided integrally with, for example, the inner plate 1a. ing.

Speakers 19L and 19R are mounted in the mounting hole 21 so as to face the rear of the vehicle body, and furthermore, on the outside of the mounting hole 21, a porous hole is provided to cover the speakers 19L and 19R with a predetermined space between the front surface of the speaker and the front surface of the speaker. A sexual cover 24 is attached.

With the above configuration, front cowl 1 (inner plate 1a)
plays the role of a speaker cabinet (acoustic functions such as baffle effects).

Note that 1b is the outer plate of the front cowl 1.

As described above, according to the present invention, the speaker is attached to the front cowl, and this front cowl is also used as a speaker cabinet, so the number of parts is reduced, the mounting structure is simplified, and the speaker mounting part is made of an integral member. This improves durability and also improves the strength of the front cowl itself.

Furthermore, since the front cowl itself, which has a large mass, serves as a speaker cabinet, the resonance effect for bass sounds is improved.

Furthermore, since the speakers are arranged in front of the handlebars so as to face the rider, the sound from the speakers is effectively transmitted to the rider, and the rider can listen to the sound without any problem even while driving.

Furthermore, since the speaker is provided vertically below the windscreen and covered on the outside with a cover, the speaker can be protected from rainwater, freezing, and the like.
