[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an inertial measurement unit for a scooter. The scooter has a main frame 10, which extends from the handlebars 11 to the rear of the scooter. An engine 12 is mounted inside the main frame 10, and the exhaust pipe 13 of the engine 12 extends rearward from either the left or right side of the main frame 10. Electronic components capable of generating electromagnetic fields are also installed on the main frame 10. The electronic components and the exhaust pipe are located on the same side. The inertial measurement unit 14 is located behind the cylinder head of the engine 12 and on the side of the main frame 10 opposite to the electronic components and the exhaust pipe 13, and is spaced apart from the electronic components, the cylinder head of the engine 12, and the exhaust pipe 13.
[0020] Specifically, the main frame 10 is the core load-bearing structure, bearing the main dynamic / static loads of the vehicle, such as the weight of the engine 12 and the weight of the occupants. It uses high-rigidity materials, such as steel pipes and aluminum alloy castings, which can significantly suppress vibration transmission and thus reduce the resonance of the inertial measurement unit 14.
[0021] Furthermore, the inertial measurement unit 14 is fixed to the left side of the main frame 10 behind the cylinder head of the engine 12 via a mounting bracket 15, the exhaust pipe 13 extends rearward from the right side of the main frame 10, and the electronic components are mounted on the right side of the main frame 10.
[0022] Preferably, the mounting base 15 is a triangular mounting bracket. The inertial measurement unit 14 is locked to one side of the triangular mounting bracket by a locking bolt 16. The other side of the triangular mounting bracket is welded to the main frame 10. The triangular mounting bracket enables the inertial measurement unit 14 to have high stability. Specifically, the inertial measurement unit is also provided with lugs 141 on both sides for the locking bolt 16 to pass through. The locking bolt 16 passes through the lugs 141 and then the lugs 141 are locked to one side of the triangular mounting bracket, thereby locking the inertial measurement unit 14 to the triangular mounting bracket.
[0023] Furthermore, the motorcycle has a shell 17 that covers the outside of the frame and shields the inertial measurement unit 14 inside the shell 17, which can prevent sunlight and rain and mud pollution.
[0024] Furthermore, the motorcycle has a seat 19, with a storage box 18 below the seat 19. The rear end of the main frame 10 surrounds the outer periphery of the storage box 18. The inertial measurement unit 14 is located on the main frame 10 to the left of the storage box 18 and behind the cylinder head of the engine 12. During maintenance, it is only necessary to open the seat 19 and then lift the storage box 18 to maintain the inertial measurement unit 14, which is convenient and quick. The storage box 18 can also protect the inertial measurement unit 14.
[0025] Furthermore, electronic components include high-voltage transformers and rectifiers; it is understood that electronic components can be other devices that can generate electromagnetic interference, and this is not limited here.
[0026] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, primarily used to illustrate the embodiments and to explain the operating principles of the embodiments in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention.
