Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a battery accommodating device for a scooter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A scooter has a battery as a power source. Generally, the battery is attached to the bottom of the seat at the rear of the frame, etc., but a fuel tank etc. is also attached to this part, and the capacity of the fuel tank is reduced by the battery, so the battery is stored under the floorboard. Some have done so.

When the battery is attached to the lower side of the floor board, a box-shaped battery holder is attached to the floor plate portion of the frame that supports the floor board to accommodate the battery, and a lid is attached to the battery holder. ..

[0004]

The battery must be regularly inspected for maintenance such as battery fluid. When the battery is stored under the floor board, it is troublesome to remove the floor side cover or the floor board and remove the battery from the battery holder every time the battery is inspected.

In view of the above point, the present invention accommodates the battery inside the floor side cover and removes the battery together with the floor side cover, thereby facilitating maintenance and reducing costs. Aim to get.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the battery accommodating device for a scooter according to the present invention is a battery for accommodating a battery inside a floor side cover that covers a lower side of a floor board of the scooter. The shelf is formed integrally, and the floor side cover and the inner end of the battery shelf are fastened to the frame with fastening screws at multiple points. In addition, a box-shaped battery holder that houses the hattery is detachably connected to the inside of the floor side cover that covers the lower side of the floor board of the scooter, and the floor side cover is framed using fastening screws at multiple points. I have fastened to.

[0007]

[Function] Since the battery is housed in the battery shelf projecting inside the floor side cover or the battery holder detachably connected to the inside of the floor side cover,
By removing the multiple fastening screws and removing the floor side cover from the frame side, the battery can be removed together with the floor side cover, making it easy to attach and detach the battery. Further, the battery shelf can be integrally formed with the floor side cover, and the battery holder is attached to and detached from the floor cover, so that the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. As for the scooter, the front side of the seat 1 is low, and the floor board 4 is put on the floor plate 3 of the frame 2 and fastened. It is supposed to be put. A floor side cover 5 is attached to the lower side surface of the floor board 4, and the floor side cover 5 is composed of a leg shield lower cover 6 and a lower side cover 7.

A battery shelf 8 is integrally formed on the floor side cover 5 so as to project inward, and the battery is housed in the battery shelf 8. The floor side cover 5 is
Hook the projection 9 provided on the upper edge on the side edge of the floorboard 4,
The floor plate 3 portion of the frame 2 is fastened by fastening screws at a plurality of points. Further, a notch 10 is provided at the inner end of the battery shelf 8 for engaging a fastening screw, and the floor plate 3 is fastened with the fastening screw.

4 and 5 show another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the projecting edge 11 is integrally provided inside the floor side cover 5, and the open end of the side surface of the box-shaped battery holder 12 is detachably connected. Further, the battery holder 12 is provided with a groove at the open end so that the seal strip 13 can be inserted and sealed to accommodate the battery in the battery holder 12. The floor side cover 5 is fastened to the frame 2 side using fastening screws at a plurality of points.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, a battery shelf is integrally provided inside the floor side cover attached to the lower side of the floor board, or a battery holder is detachably attached to accommodate the battery. By doing so, the battery can be attached and detached at the same time by attaching and detaching the floor side cover. For this reason, the work of attaching and detaching the battery is simplified, the structure of the battery shelf and the battery holder is simplified, and the cost and weight can be reduced.
