Description

  The present invention relates to an antenna mounting structure for a motorcycle that transmits and receives specific information wirelessly to and from the outside.

  Recently, an ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System) for automobiles has been developed and put into practical use in order to relieve congestion caused by payment at a toll gate on a toll road such as an expressway. The ETC automatically communicates information necessary for a vehicle communication device mounted on a vehicle and a dedicated lane system at a tollgate using radio to pay a toll. By using ETC, it is not necessary for the car to stop at the toll booth, and the occurrence of traffic congestion can be suppressed.

  The ETC system has a card in which information for identifying a user or a bank account number or the like is recorded, a vehicle communication device, and an antenna that performs radio communication with a transmitting / receiving device at a toll gate. It is desirable to provide the antenna in the front part of the vehicle as much as possible so that the radio wave transmission / reception sensitivity with the transmission / reception device at the toll gate can be kept good.

  By the way, since there is a troublesome payment for a motorcycle at a toll booth as well as an automobile, an ETC for a motorcycle has been developed and researched. In a motorcycle, it is desirable to provide an antenna in the front part. However, in a motorcycle, there are more restrictions on mounting than an automobile, and the antenna must be arranged in consideration of environmental resistance such as water resistance and dust resistance.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 1 proposes a configuration in which the antenna is arranged along the upper surface of the meter case in consideration of environmental resistance.

  On the other hand, in motorcycles, a wind screen may be provided on the front surface to prevent the wind from directly hitting the passenger and to reduce air resistance. However, a vortex is generated at the upper end of the wind screen. Can cause wind noise and increased running resistance.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 2 proposes a configuration that suppresses the generation of vortices by providing an air guide path that communicates with the back side of the wind screen to guide an appropriate wind.

Yes.

  As described above, the antenna 302 is provided in the recess 136 of the meter visor 126b. The antenna 302 communicates with, for example, a high-frequency 5.8 MHz band, a communication speed of 1024 kbps, and an ASK modulation method with a transmission / reception device 314 of an ETC gate 312 (see FIG. 7) described later. Since the antenna 302 performs transmission and reception at a short distance at a high frequency, the antenna 302 is formed compact. A vibration buffer material 147 is provided at the bottom of the recess 136, and vibration transmitted to the antenna 302 can be suppressed.

  When the cable 302a of the antenna 302 is long, it is preferable that the excess portion is wrapped around a nearby post 309 and fixed. The post 309 can be provided on the stay 128 or the meter unit 126. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the wiring from being unraveled later.

  As is clear from FIG. 6, the recess 136 is provided by effectively utilizing the space between the meter main body 126a and the upper surface of the meter visor 126b, and has a shape in which the front is shallow and the rear is deeper. Yes.

  Since the antenna 302 is provided in the front part of the motorcycle 12, and the motorcycle 12 moves forward, the transmission / reception sensitivity between the antenna 302 and the transmission / reception device 314 (see FIG. 7) at the upper front is good. can get. This is because only the resin wind screen 78 and the center garnish 102 are interposed between the antenna 302 and the transmission / reception device 314, and the radio wave hardly attenuates.

  Further, the antenna 302 hardly protrudes from the wind guide path 146 even if it is retrofitted by a passenger or a dealer as well as the standard equipment, and of course protrudes outward from the wind screen 78. Never do. Accordingly, the aerodynamic characteristics of the motorcycle 12 are not deteriorated, and the appearance merchantability is improved.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the traveling wind FW toward the front surface of the center garnish 102 enters the wind guide inlet 112, and flows as a rear flow RW through the wind guide path 146 toward the upper side of the rear surface of the wind screen 78. An appropriate amount of the rear flow RW from the back surface of the wind screen 78 merges with the front flow FW flowing along the front surface of the wind screen 78. As a result, the negative pressure generated on the back surface of the wind screen 78 is reduced. As a result, the force of winding the front flow FW toward the back side of the wind screen 78 is weakened, so that the front flow FW does not wrap around the edge of the wind screen 78 and flows rearward as it is, thereby improving the windshield effect on the driver.

  Next, the ETC system 304 including the antenna 302 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the antenna 302 constitutes an ETC system 304 together with the motorcycle communication device 10. The motorcycle communication device 10 has a thin plate shape, and an insertion port 308 for inserting or withdrawing the card 306 and an eject switch 310 are provided on one thin end surface 10a. The eject switch 310 is a switch for discharging the card 306 inserted in the motorcycle communication device 10.

  In the card 306, information such as a bank account for paying a user and a travel fee is encrypted and stored in an internal IC chip, and is read by the communication device 10 for a motorcycle.

  The ETC system 304 automatically communicates with the transmission / reception device 314 of the ETC gate 312 provided at the toll gate when passing through the toll gate on the toll road, reads the information recorded on the card 306, and travels. The transmission / reception device 314 is notified together with information on the section of the toll road, information such as the vehicle type and the card company. As a result, the transmission / reception device 314 determines the travel fee of the corresponding vehicle and performs a predetermined process for charging the travel fee to a predetermined card company. By using such an ETC system 304, the motorcycle 12 does not need to be stopped at a toll booth, and the occurrence of traffic congestion can be suppressed.

  The motorcycle communication device 10 of the ETC system 304 is provided, for example, in the storage box 70 (see FIG. 1) and cannot be seen from the outside. As described above, the antenna 302 and the cable 302a are not exposed to the outside. Eventually, the ETC system 304 is arranged so as not to be visually recognized from the outside, and it is possible to prevent a third party from knowing that the vehicle is equipped with the system, as well as water resistance, dust resistance, etc. The environmental resistance performance of is improved. Further, even if the ETC system 304 is mounted, no extra protrusion is generated, so that the aerodynamic performance and the appearance merchantability are not deteriorated.

  The mounting structure 300 according to the present embodiment includes a front cowl 76, a wind screen 78, a wind guide path 146, a recess 136, and an antenna 302.

  The antenna 302 and the mounting structure 300 of the ETC system 304 configured as described above operate as follows.

  First, before boarding the motorcycle 12, the passenger raises the boarding seat 31 to expose the storage box 70, and inserts the card 306 into the insertion slot 308 of the motorcycle communication device 10 provided therein. The motorcycle communication apparatus 10 reads information such as a bank account for paying a user and a travel fee from the inserted card 306.

  Next, the passenger closes the boarding seat 31 and starts driving the motorcycle 12 across the boarding seat 31. Since the antenna 302 is not exposed to the outside, the traveling wind is not directly hit while the motorcycle 12 is running, only a part of the rear flow RW is hit, and it does not receive excessive wind pressure. .

  When the motorcycle 12 enters and exits a toll road such as an expressway, the motorcycle communication device 10 communicates with the transmission / reception device 314 of the ETC gate 312 via the antenna 302, as described above. Exchange information such as bank accounts for paying travel fees, sections of toll roads traveled, vehicle types and card companies. As a result, the transmission / reception device 314 performs processing for charging a travel fee to a predetermined card company.

  At this time, the antenna 302 is provided in front of and above the motorcycle 12, and is disposed in a direction that takes into account the directivity of radio waves by being fitted into the recess 136. The transmission / reception sensitivity is high and reliable communication is performed.

  When arriving at the destination and ending the operation of the motorcycle 12, after stopping the motorcycle 12, the boarding seat 31 is raised, the eject switch 310 of the communication device 10 for motorcycles is pushed, and the card 306 is taken out. By the operation of the eject switch 310, the card 306 is discharged to such an extent that it does not drop off and is pulled out by the passenger.

  As described above, according to the mounting structure 300 according to the present embodiment, since the antenna 302 does not protrude from the outer surface, most of the traveling wind flows from the front cowl 76 toward the front surface of the wind screen 78, Air resistance hardly increases. Further, since only an appropriate amount of wind flows through the air guide path 146, an excessive wind pressure is not applied to the antenna 302. Further, the antenna 302 is provided in the foremost part and the upper part of the motorcycle 12, and there is almost no shielding between the transmitting / receiving device of the toll gate and good transmission / reception sensitivity can be obtained.

  In addition, since the position and orientation of the antenna 302 are defined and fixed by the recess 136, the antenna 302 has a direction in which radio wave transmission / reception has a strong directivity with respect to an angle θ (see FIG. 6) where the transmission / reception device 314 is assumed to exist. It can be easily installed together. Therefore, even a passenger who does not have special knowledge, a measuring instrument, a jig, or the like can easily install the antenna 302 at a position and orientation where high sensitivity can be obtained. Therefore, the installation office. The operator's choice can be expanded.

  Since the antenna 302 hardly protrudes from the air guide path 146, the rear flow RW passing through the air guide path 146 is not disturbed, and the rear flow RW hardly hits and excessive wind pressure is not applied. It is not necessary to make the strength and the structure of the recess 136 excessively strong. Even if the antenna 302 protrudes to the air guide path 146 to some extent, the rear flow RW flowing through the air guide path 146 is not as strong as the traveling wind FW flowing along the front surface of the center garnish 102, and an appropriate amount Since only the wind flows, an excessive wind pressure is not applied to the antenna 302.

  The antenna 302 is provided at a considerable depth of the air guide path 146 when viewed from the direction of the passenger. The antenna 302 is not substantially visually recognized, does not obstruct the forward view, and unnecessarily detects the presence of the antenna 302. There is no awareness.

  Even when an excessive wind pressure or external force is applied to the antenna 302 due to an unforeseen situation, the antenna 302 is supported by the step 136a (see FIG. 6) on the rear surface, so there is no possibility of dropping off. Further, since the concave portion 136 is almost filled with the antenna 302, the rear surface flow RW is hardly disturbed by the concave portion 136.

  The antenna 302 is covered with the lower part 78a of the wind screen 78 or the center garnish 102 and cannot be seen from the outside, and the cable 302a is also introduced directly into the front cowl 76 from the recess 136 and exposed to the outside. There is no place to do.

  Next, modified examples of the mounting structure of the antenna 302 will be described with reference to FIGS. The same parts as those of the mounting structure 300 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In each of these modified examples, the same effect as that of the mounting structure 300 can be obtained.

The antenna 302 is separated from the air guide path 146 by the top cover 402b and does not receive wind pressure.

  The upper surface cover 402b of the cartridge 402 is smoothly connected so as to be flush with the upper surface of the meter visor 126b, and the lower surface of the air guide path 146 is formed more smoothly, and the rear surface flow RW tends to flow. .

  Note that the cartridge 402 holds the antenna 302 so as not to protrude into the air guide path 146, so that it can be substantially referred to as a recess of the air guide path 146. Although the antenna 302 does not protrude at all in the air guide path 146, the cartridge 402 forms a part of the air guide path 146, and the antenna 302 is attached to the cartridge 402. It is equivalent to being provided at 146.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the mounting structure 410 according to the second modified example, the antenna 302 is securely fixed to the boss 412 protruding on the back surface of the connection plate 142 by screws 414. Since the antenna 302 does not protrude at all in the air guide path 146, it does not receive wind pressure. Further, by using the boss 412, an adhesive, a double-sided tape or the like is unnecessary, or there is no need to additionally process a fixing hole.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, by providing a screw hole 302b (or a fixing stay or the like) in the antenna 302, a separate component bracket is unnecessary, and the number of components can be reduced.

  In this case, the antenna 302 does not protrude at all in the air guide path 146, but the connection plate 142 forms a part of the air guide path 146, and the antenna 302 is attached to the connection plate 142. This is equivalent to being provided in the air guide path 146.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the mounting structure 420 according to the third modified example, the concave portion 136 is not provided, but is directly fixed on the meter visor 126b. Even in such a mounting structure 420, the antenna 302 is provided at the front portion and above the motorcycle 12, so that good sensitivity can be obtained, and since the antenna 302 is provided inside the front cowl 76, There is no wind pressure.

  Further, since the antenna 302 has a compact shape, the rear airflow 146 can be passed through the airflow passage 146 without narrowing the airflow path 146 so much.

  The antenna 302 may be provided near the rear end of the meter visor 126b as indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the mounting structure 430 according to the fourth modified example, the antenna 302 is placed inside a small resin handle cover 436 that covers the handle 432 and the meter panel 434 instead of the large front cowl 76.
