Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of motorcycle taillights, and more particularly to a motorcycle taillight kit. Background Technology

[0002] The Yamaha YZF-R7 motorcycle is characterized by its rugged lines and muscular appearance. It features a unique shark gill design, a streamlined body, and a compact layout, with a simple yet powerful and sporty rear design. Since 2022, the Yamaha YZF-R7 has featured an integrated taillight assembly. Motorcycle owners often customize their vehicles in a compliant and personalized manner to express their individuality. Among these modifications, taillight modification is widely popular due to its eye-catching effect and ease of implementation.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN201043713Y discloses a structure for a motorcycle taillight with a decorative inner cover and replaceable colored inner liner ring. The taillight's lens is divided into three independent components: an inner cover, an inner shell, and an outer cover, all pressed together. The inner cover is a red or colorless shell, and its surface can be arc-shaped or have multiple geometrically shaped reflective bevels. The inner shell is an arched ring-shaped shell with decorative holes. A replaceable colored inner liner ring is located at the rear of the inner shell. The inner shell with the colored inner liner ring is mounted on the upper part of an arc-shaped reflector cup, the inner cover is mounted on the top ring of the inner shell, and the outer cover is mounted on a base, thus forming the motorcycle taillight with a decorative inner cover and replaceable colored inner liner ring.

[0004] When installing the aforementioned motorcycle taillights, holes need to be drilled in the original tail cover to use bolts to fix the taillights to the motorcycle's tail cover, causing irreversible damage to the motorcycle's surface. When the owner wants to try different styles and shapes of taillights, removing the modified taillights will expose the screw holes on the tail cover, which is unsightly, while replacing the original tail cover is too costly.

[0005] In addition, there are defects such as the surface of the modified motorcycle taillights not being continuous with the lines of the YZF-R7 motorcycle's tail cover, making the modified taillights look rather abrupt and inconsistent with the overall style of the YZF-R7 motorcycle, which is not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the issue that modifying motorcycle taillights in current technology requires drilling holes in the original tail cover to bolt the taillights, causing irreversible damage to the motorcycle's surface, and resulting in discontinuous taillight lines that clash with the overall style of the YZF-R7 motorcycle, this application provides a motorcycle taillight kit to avoid damaging the tail cover during taillight installation and to ensure the modified taillights match the style of the YZF-R7 motorcycle, making them more aesthetically pleasing.

[0007] This application provides a motorcycle taillight kit, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A motorcycle taillight kit is disclosed. The motorcycle has a subframe and a rear fairing covering the rear of the subframe. A vent is provided between the rear fairing and the rear of the subframe. The upper edge of the rear fairing overlaps the upper edge of the subframe. The motorcycle taillight kit includes a plug-in housing, a lighting component and a wiring harness installed in the plug-in housing. The plug-in housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing fastened to the upper housing. The outer wall contour of the upper housing matches the inner wall contour of the upper edge of the vent. The lower housing extends along the depth of the vent, and the side of the lower housing near the front of the motorcycle extends towards the bottom of the motorcycle to form a light-transmitting surface. The lighting component illuminates the rear of the motorcycle through the light-transmitting surface.

[0009] The lower housing extends to form a wing on the side near the subframe, and the wing is sandwiched between the upper edge of the rear fairing and the upper edge of the subframe. The upper housing has a port on the side facing the front of the vehicle body for the wiring harness to be plugged in to connect to the lighting assembly.

[0010] Optionally, the side of the wing away from the lower housing is folded away from the bottom of the vehicle body to form a convex ridge, and the convex ridge is connected to the upper edge of the rear fairing.

[0011] Optionally, the lighting assembly includes a control board, tri-color LED beads mounted on the control board, and a lens assembly disposed in front of the tri-color LED beads. The control board is fixed to the upper housing on the side near the front of the motorcycle. The tri-color LED beads are positioned facing the rear of the motorcycle. The lens assembly concentrates the light emitted by the tri-color LED beads so that it shines towards the rear of the motorcycle. One end of the wiring harness is connected to the control board, and the other end of the wiring harness is connected to the motorcycle's electrical interface.

[0012] Optionally, a diffuser plate is provided inside the upper housing, the diffuser plate covering the upper inner surface and the inner surface of the side wall of the upper housing, and the diffuser plate has a rough surface.

[0013] Optionally, the outer edge of the upper housing has a thickened edging, and the thickened edging has a fastening groove on the side facing the lower housing. The lower housing has a protruding positioning ridge on the side facing the upper housing, and the positioning ridge is inserted and fixed in the fastening groove.

[0014] Optionally, the upper housing has a limiting lip at the end away from the front of the vehicle body, one end of the limiting lip extending toward the side away from the bottom of the vehicle body, and the side of the limiting lip toward the front of the vehicle body abutting against the end of the rear fairing away from the front of the vehicle body.

[0015] Optionally, the upper housing is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs evenly distributed along the extension direction of the vent on the side near the wing.

[0016] Optionally, the upper housing is provided with an injection-molded waterproof plug at the port, and the side of the injection-molded waterproof plug is provided with a through hole that connects to the inside of the plug-in housing. Then, one end of the wiring harness is connected to the control board through the through hole and the port in sequence, and the other end of the wiring harness is connected to the electrical interface of the motorcycle.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, each motorcycle taillight kit for modification is plug-and-play, requiring no cutting of the original vehicle's electrical wiring or drilling. The plug-in housing conforms to the contour of the air vent. When installing the rear fairing to the subframe, the plug-in housing can be inserted between the rear fairing and the subframe, so that the winglets are sandwiched between the upper edge of the rear fairing and the upper edge of the subframe. When the rear fairing is pressed against the rear of the frame, the plug-in housing is fixed in place, eliminating the need for tape or unsightly installation hardware.

[0018] Because the upper housing matches the contour of the air vent, the overall design of the motorcycle taillight kit fits the original vehicle better and is less obtrusive. The lower housing extends along the depth of the air vent, with one end extending towards the bottom of the vehicle, making the motorcycle taillight appear longer and more streamlined.

[0030] The technical solutions of various embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] An embodiment of this utility model provides a motorcycle taillight kit, such as... Figures 1 to 9As shown, the motorcycle has a subframe 19 and a rear fairing 18 covering the rear of the subframe 19. A vent 20 is provided between the rear fairing 18 and the rear of the subframe 19. The upper edge of the rear fairing 18 overlaps the upper edge of the subframe 19. The motorcycle taillight kit includes a plug-in housing 1, a lighting component 2 installed in the plug-in housing 1, and a wiring harness 3. The plug-in housing 1 includes an upper housing 101 and a lower housing 102 fastened to the upper housing 101. The outer wall contour of the upper housing 101 matches the inner wall contour of the upper edge of the vent 20. The lower housing 102 extends along the depth of the vent 20, and the side of the lower housing 102 near the front of the motorcycle extends toward the bottom of the motorcycle to form a light-transmitting surface 4. The lighting component 2 illuminates the rear of the motorcycle through the light-transmitting surface 4.

[0032] The lower housing 102 extends to form a wing 5 on the side near the subframe 19. The wing 5 is sandwiched between the upper edge of the rear fairing 18 and the upper edge of the subframe 19. The upper housing 101 has a port 6 on the side facing the front of the vehicle body for the wiring harness 3 to be plugged into and connected to the lighting assembly 2.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, when viewed from the rear of the vehicle, the plug-in housing 1 installed on the vehicle body forms a new ventilation opening by dividing the ventilation opening 20 into an oblique triangular shape. While retaining the function of the ventilation opening 20 to a certain extent, the taillight modification of the YZF-R7 motorcycle is realized. The plug-in housing 1 has a streamlined and sporty appearance and fits the internal contour of the rear fairing 18, making it more stylish.

[0034] The plug-in housing 1 conforms to the outline of the vent 20. When installing the rear fairing 18 to the subframe 19, the plug-in housing 1 can be inserted between the rear fairing 18 and the subframe 19, so that the wing 5 is sandwiched between the upper edge of the rear fairing 18 and the upper edge of the subframe 19. When the rear fairing 18 is pressed against the rear of the frame, the plug-in housing 1 is fixed without the need for tape or unsightly installation hardware.

[0035] The rear fairing 18 of the YZF-R7 motorcycle is fixed to the subframe 19 with screws. When installing the plug-in housing 1, the upper edge of the rear fairing 18 can be gently lifted to increase the gap between the rear fairing 18 and the subframe 19, so that the winglet 5 can be inserted between the upper edge of the rear fairing 18 and the upper edge of the subframe 19. After the plug-in housing 1 is installed in place, the upper edge of the rear fairing 18 is loosened. Due to the toughness of the material of the rear fairing 18, its upper edge will naturally return to its original position, firmly clamping the winglet 5 between the rear fairing 18 and the subframe 19.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side of the wing 5 away from the lower housing 102 is folded away from the bottom of the vehicle body to form a convex ridge 7, and the convex ridge 7 is connected to the upper edge of the rear fairing 18.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper housing 101 has a limiting lip 8 at the end away from the front of the vehicle body. One end of the limiting lip 8 extends toward the side away from the bottom of the vehicle body, and the side of the limiting lip 8 toward the front of the vehicle body abuts against the end of the rear fairing 18 away from the front of the vehicle body.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protruding ridge 7 and the limiting lip 8 cooperate to fasten the plug-in housing 1 to the upper edge of the rear fairing 18, thereby pre-positioning the plug-in housing 1 on the inner wall of the rear fairing 18. By pre-positioning the plug-in housing 1 and then pressing the upper edge of the rear fairing 18 onto the upper edge of the subframe 19, the position of the plug-in housing 1 can be avoided when modifying the motorcycle taillight kit, which would result in an unstable installation.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lighting assembly 2 includes a control board 201, a tri-color LED bead 202 mounted on the control board 201, and a lens group 203 disposed on the front side of the tri-color LED bead 202. The control board 201 is fixed to the side of the upper housing 101 near the front of the motorcycle. The tri-color LED bead 202 is positioned facing the rear of the motorcycle. The lens group 203 concentrates the light emitted by the tri-color LED bead 202 so that it shines towards the rear of the motorcycle. One end of the wiring harness 3 is connected to the control board 201, and the other end of the wiring harness 3 is connected to the motorcycle's electrical interface.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electrical interface of the motorcycle refers to the two pre-installed vehicle connectors and the original taillight power supply line and signal line of the motorcycle.

[0041] The inner wall of the upper housing 101 is provided with a support platform 9 for placing the control plate 201, so that a gap is maintained between the control plate 201 and the upper housing 101. The inner wall of the upper housing 101 is also provided with at least two studs 10. The control plate 201 and the lens group 203 are placed in sequence on the front side of the support platform 9 and fixed to the studs 10 with bolts.

[0042] The lens assembly 203 includes three lens units, each corresponding to a tri-color LED on the control board 201. The lens units are arranged in a stepped manner to accommodate the layout of the tri-color LEDs within the plug-in housing 1, thereby effectively concentrating the light emitted by the tri-color LEDs, improving the illumination effect of the point light source, and directing it toward the rear of the motorcycle.

[0043] Multiple LED bulbs can be additionally configured on the control board 201. The wiring harness 3 also has a built-in plug that can be connected to a pre-configured optional brake light modulator. Together with the tri-color LED lights and the additional LED bulbs, it adds more functions and different lighting modes to the original brake lights and the brake section of the TST sequential integrated taillight. The control board 201 can also be programmed with built-in turn signals to present an eye-catching sequential lighting mode, adding a modern touch to the rear fairing 18 of the YZF-R7 motorcycle launched after 2022, and providing owners with a motorcycle taillight kit that integrates the functions of the rear position lights (or daytime running lights), brake lights and turn signals.

[0044] On one hand, the motorcycle taillight kit draws power from the original taillight via wiring harness 3 to achieve the turn signal function. On the other hand, the motorcycle taillight kit connects to the two pre-installed driving connectors on the motorcycle via wiring harness 3 to achieve driving light control and brake light control functions. Power and signal control lines are drawn from the original taillight, and power is drawn from the original taillight via the wiring harness interface for turn signals. The YZF-R7 motorcycle has two pre-installed driving connectors, and the wiring harness interface can also be connected to them to expand functionality.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a diffuser plate 11 is provided inside the upper housing 101. The diffuser plate 11 covers the upper inner surface and the inner surface of the side wall of the upper housing 101, and the diffuser plate 11 has a rough surface.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting a diffuser plate 11, the light shining on it is diffused and reflected, which has the effect of improving the brightness of the taillight, making the taillight more conspicuous when viewed from behind the motorcycle.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer edge of the upper housing 101 has a thickened edging 12, and the thickened edging 12 has a fastening groove 13 on the side facing the lower housing 102. The lower housing 102 has a protruding positioning ridge 14 on the side facing the upper housing 101, and the positioning ridge 14 is inserted and fixed in the fastening groove 13.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the thickened edging 12 can improve the structural strength of the outer edge of the upper shell 101, making it more resilient, and making the connection structure between the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102 more stable, reliable, and less prone to deformation.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper housing 101 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 15 evenly distributed along the extension direction of the vent 20 on the side near the wing 5.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 15 are longitudinally distributed, enabling the upper shell 101 to withstand greater compressive force without deformation, thus making the structure more reliable.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper housing 101 is provided with a plasticized waterproof plug 16 at port 6. The side of the plasticized waterproof plug 16 is provided with a through hole 17 that connects to the inside of the plug-in housing 1. One end of the wiring harness 3 is connected to the control board 201 through the through hole 17 and port 6 in sequence, and the other end of the wiring harness 3 is connected to the electrical interface of the motorcycle.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, during the production and assembly stage, the interface of the wire harness 3 is inserted into the through hole 17 and connected to the control board 201 to achieve pre-assembly of the wire harness 3. The wire harness 3 is pre-inserted through the through hole 17 into the injection-molded waterproof plug 16 and then sealed by injection molding. This prevents external rainwater or accumulated water from falling into the plug-in housing 1, which could damage the circuit or cause water mist on the light-transmitting surface 4, affecting the lighting effect.

[0053] After assembling the wiring harness 3 with the injection-molded waterproof plug 16, one end of the control wiring harness 3 is connected to the control board 201, and the injection-molded waterproof plug 16 is fixed to the port 6 of the upper housing 101. The other end of the wiring harness 3 is connected to the two pre-installed motorcycle connectors and the original taillight power supply line and signal line of the motorcycle.

[0054] In summary, each motorcycle taillight kit provided for modification is plug-and-play, requiring no cutting of the original vehicle's electrical wiring or drilling of holes.

[0055] Because the upper housing 101 matches the contour of the vent 20, the overall motorcycle taillight kit fits the original vehicle better and is less obtrusive. The lower housing 102 extends along the depth of the vent 20, with one end of the lower housing 102 extending towards the bottom of the vehicle body, making the motorcycle taillight kit appear longer and more streamlined. The design is stylish and modern, without compromising the sporty design of the YZF-R7 motorcycle's rear.
