Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a vibration level of a steering wheel largely by installing a damper weight, which obtains excitation force against a vibrating direction, on a steering wheel mounting member so that it can move in the fore/aft direction, and damp vibration transmitted from a vehicle body to a steering wheel by a dynamic camper effect. CONSTITUTION:A vibration damping device 4 is installed in an upper bracket 3 fixed to the upper edge of a front fork 1 in a motorcycle to install a handle bar 2. The vibration damping device 4 is installed in bilateral symmetry to the upper bracket 3, and a belleville spring 6, a damper weight 7 and a belleville spring 8 are fitted inside holes 5, 5 of which front edges are opened to the upper bracket 3, and the opening edge of the hole 5 is blocked with a cap 9. When the vibration of a vehicle body generated by engine rotation is transmitted to a steering wheel, it is eliminated by movement of a damper weight 7 which moves in an opposite direction to the vibration to reduce a vibrating level at a resonance point where a resonance frequency in a steering wheel system and an engine speed coincide with each other.

(Prior art) In the case of small vehicles, especially motorcycles, the left and right ends of the handlebars are not supported by the vehicle body, so they are susceptible to vibrations when vibrations caused by engine rotation are transmitted to the handlebars through the vehicle body frame. The vibration mainly occurs as an amplitude in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and this resonates with the engine rotational speed and is amplified, causing significant discomfort to the rider.

Therefore, in this type of bar handle, it is important to reduce the vibration level at the resonance point where the resonance frequency and engine rotational speed match.

Conventionally, as shown in the cross section of only one side in Fig. 9, an elastic body C made exclusively for rubber is provided through an upper bracket b fixed to the upper ends of the left and right front forks a of a motorcycle, and the elastic body C is inserted through this elastic body C. The handlebar e is fixed by a bolt d, and a +91 elastic body f is interposed between the end of the upper bracket b and the handlebar e, and the handlebar e is supported in a floating manner by the upper bracket b, These elastic bodies c and f prevent the vibrations of the vehicle body from being directly transmitted to the handlebar e, or as shown in Figure 10, which shows a cross section of the tip of the handlebar, an elastic body g is attached to the end of the handlebar e. A heavy weight Wit is fixed in the grip part with a bolt j through the handle, and the resonance node of the 7% turn bar e is changed to reduce the amplitude of the grip part (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 157975/1983). ).

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in a floating support structure in which an elastic body C1f is interposed at the attachment part of the handlebar e, if a soft elastic material is used to achieve a vibration damping effect, it is difficult to set the handlebar e. Later on, the steering stability will be impaired, and in road sports model cars, the steering wheel will become wobbly, giving the rider a sense of anxiety. If the elastic bodies c and f of the sill and lever are made of a hard material such as hard rubber, there is a drawback that the vibration absorption ability will be lowered and the vibration damping effect will not be achieved.

In addition, in the case where a weight i is installed inside the handle grip part to change the node at the time of resonance, there is a limit to the size of the built-in weight i due to problems in appearance, and vibration can be completely prevented. The problem is that it is difficult.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a damper weight that is movable in the front and rear direction is provided on the steering wheel mounting member, which is a source of vibration when the vehicle body vibrates as the engine rotates and resonates with the steering wheel. The dynamic damper effect prevents resonance of the handlebars, so the vibration level of the handlebars can be greatly reduced, and since the handlebars do not need to have a floating support structure, the steering stability of the handlebars is not compromised. Furthermore, there is no restriction on the size of the reweight unlike when a weight is built into the handle, increasing the degree of freedom of selection, and there are various effects such as no restrictions on appearance.
