Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the traditional module assembly system, since the parts, including the muffler and the frame, are sequentially assembled on the power unit along the power train module production line, the number of processes involved in the assembly process is large, and changing the power train mold Parts production line, it is difficult to produce a different type of motorcycle
[0010] The second problem is that the parts connected to the handlebars are assembled in the front suspension module
[0011] The third problem is that since the wiring harness of a complete motorcycle is connected to a module, if the wiring harness is connected to the rear housing module, then in the final assembly process, the wiring harness must be inserted into the front housing module one of the ducts, or secure the wire harness to the duct of the front housing module
[0012] The fourth problem lies in the complexity of the process of connecting the throttle cable
[0015] However, connecting the ends of the branch cables to the carburetor valves and oil pumps is an extremely complex process as the connections must be made in tight spaces

Embodiment Construction

[0046] A small motorcycle will be described below by way of an example of a modular vehicle of the present invention. However, the modular motor vehicle of the present invention also includes a modular motor tricycle.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 1, the assembly lines for modular vehicles are set up on the first and second floors of the factory. The assembly line on the first level includes a power train module operation line 1, and the assembly line on the second level includes an auxiliary module operation line, which includes a rear housing module operation line 2, a front housing module operation line 3, a Front fork module operation line 4 and a handle module operation line 5.

[0048] Such as figure 2 As shown, a fuel tank module operation line is connected with the said rear casing module operation line 2 .

[0049] As shown in the figure, the rear casing module operation line 2, the front casing module operation line 3, the front fork module operation line 4 and the ha...

Abstract

The invention facilitates the connection of rear modules with each other and the management of the modules in dividing a motorcycle into a plurality of modules. A handle module is constituted of a handle unit, a handle rear cover unit, and a front handle cover unit, the handle unit is constituted by assembling a throttle cable and brake cable related parts to a handle, the handle rear cover unit is constituted by assembling electrical equipment such as a meter unit, a starter switch, a horn switch, and a turn indicator switch, to the handle rear cover, and the front handle cover unit is constituted by assembling a head light and turn indicators to the front handle cover.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a modularized motor vehicle, which includes many interconnected modules with different functions, such as a modularized motorcycle or a modularized motor tricycle. Background technique [0002] A typical motor vehicle manufacturing system has a single production line to which parts are assembled as the bodies are conveyed along the production line. [0003] However, this motor vehicle manufacturing system is disadvantageous because it includes a large number of parts to be assembled, requires many workers, and the inventory management of parts is time consuming. Considering the above-mentioned shortcomings of the conventional motor vehicle manufacturing system, a system development work has been carried out in which the parts manufacturer assembles the parts into modules, and then supplies the modules to the vehicle manufacturer, and the vehicle manufacturer then assembles the modules into modules. Assembled into a com...
