(Prior art) Conventionally, in this type of accelerator pedal device, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-49554, a circuit is mounted on both side walls of a substantially rectangular annular base frame fixed to the front part of the driver's seat floor of the vehicle. A rotating shaft is rotatably supported, and a pedal arm of an accelerator pedal is integrally connected at an intermediate portion thereof to a base end of the rotating shaft that passes through one of the both side walls and sharpens outward. A coiled return spring is loosely fitted coaxially to the rotation shaft between both side walls of the base frame [5, one end of this return spring is fixed to the other of the both side walls, while the other end of the return spring is an end of which is locked to the pedal arm from below at a position closer to the accelerator pedal than a connecting portion with the rotation shaft, and a distal end of the rotation shaft extending outward through the other side wall; A pair of friction disks are fitted coaxially so as to abut against the other side wall and cannot rotate relative to the rotation shaft, and the disk is sandwiched between the pair of friction disks. and is loosely fitted to the tip of the rotation shaft and fixedly connected to the other of the side walls, and biases the pair of friction disks toward the other of the side walls with a coiled braking spring. 1) Loosely fit coaxially onto the tip of the rotating shaft and tighten with 10 knots to remove it,
When the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal increases under the braking action of the disc against the pair of friction discs generated under the biasing force of the coiled braking spring, the pedal arm moves against the biasing force of the return spring. Rotate downward against the butt repulsion force and v
On the other hand, when the accelerator pedal is depressed by 1, the pedal arm bends upward due to the action of the torsional repulsive force of the return spring, and the pivot shaft is rotated in the opposite direction. There is something that lets you do it.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In this configuration, as described above, when the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal increases or when the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal decreases, the braking action of the disc on the pair of rank discs is reduced. This is generated under the biasing force of the brake spring, so there is a difference between the pressing force when the accelerator pedal is depressed and the pressing force when the accelerator pedal is decreased. A hysterin width occurs due to the braking force. However, since the depression force of the accelerator pedal varies linearly with respect to the depression amount due to the linear characteristic of the torsional repulsive force of the return spring, the above-mentioned hysteresis width is It remains constant regardless of the amount. Therefore, if the above-mentioned hysteresis width is set narrow in order to reduce the accelerator pedal depression force when the accelerator pedal depression is small, the hysteresis width when the accelerator pedal depression is large will also be narrowed. In order to maintain the accelerator pedal in a depressed position with a large depression amount, a large depression force is required, and as a result, a problem arises in that the driver becomes fatigued when the vehicle is in a traffic jam.

On the other hand, if the above-mentioned hysterinus width is set wide in order to reduce the depressing force of the accelerator pedal when the amount of depressing the accelerator pedal is large, the hysterinous width will be widened similarly to when the depressing amount of the accelerator pedal is small. A large depressing force is required to depress the pedal in a small range, and as a result, there is a problem in that operability is poor at the initial stage of depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, if the hysteresis width is set according to the intermediate range of the accelerator pedal depression amount, it will be possible to generate the depression force in the range where the accelerator pedal depression amount is small and to maintain it in the range where the accelerator pedal depression amount is large. A similar problem occurs.

The aim is to set the settings appropriately across the board.

On the other hand, when the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal is decreased, the rotation shaft rotates in the direction of the torsional repulsive force of the coil spring under the braking action between the first and second discs. At this time, the torsional repulsive force of the coil spring decreases as the rotation shaft rotates. Further, since the first disk rotates under pressure contact with the second disk as described above, the cross-shaped surface contact portion between the friction member and the contact portion reduces the braking torque and rotates the axial center. moving towards.

(Effect) Therefore, the above-mentioned braking torque specifies the hysteresis width between the increase and decrease of the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal. If it is made to increase with respect to the rotational movement, the above-mentioned hysteresis width increases in accordance with the increase in the rotational angle of the rotational shaft. Therefore, when the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal is small, since the hysteresis width is narrow, the depression force of the accelerator pedal may also be small, resulting in excellent operability.

It is loosely fitted. Thus, the guide pin 1311 restricts the rotation of the cooperating member 70 within a predetermined rotation range by engaging with both ends of the groove 72. However, this predetermined rotation range corresponds to the depressable rotation of the accelerator pedal Acc, and when the rotation member 70 is rotated in the special training direction (or counterclockwise) shown in FIG. When the accelerator pedal Acc is engaged to the right end (or left end) of 72, the accelerator pedal Acc becomes the minimum (or maximum) depression amount.

(equal to the product of the load N of 0 and the friction coefficient μ of the friction member [33]) is also approximately constant. Therefore, the braking torque applied by the disc 110 to the disc 130 cannot be given by Ty=FXr. Based on this linear relationship between Tr=Fxr and r and θ (see PiA in Atsushi 16), a linear characteristic as shown in FIG. 17 is given between Tr and θ.

In such a case, the interval between direct $QLl and direct 1i11.2 is
The hysteresis width H between the increase and decrease of the accelerator pedal Acc is determined by the relationship between the braking torque Tr and the rotation angle θ as shown in Fig. 17. Proportional relationship and both fill springs 90,1
Due to the difference in the rate of change depending on the braking angle θ between the sum of each torsional reaction force of 00 and the braking torque Tr, the accelerator pedal A
It changes to become wider (or narrower) as the amount of depression of ce increases (or decreases). Therefore, the accelerator pedal Ac
When the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal Acc is small, the hysteresis width H is narrow, so the depression force of the accelerator pedal Acc can be small, resulting in excellent operability. On the other hand, when the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal Aec is large, the hysteresis width H is wide, so
The force required to hold down the accelerator pedal Acc is small, so that it does not cause fatigue to the driver when the vehicle is in a traffic jam.
By adjusting the spring constant of the coil spring 120, etc., the range of change in the hysteresis knife H can be arbitrarily adjusted to obtain a hysteresis characteristic that suits the user's preference. In addition, in the process of increasing or decreasing the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal Acc (7) as described above, the rotation angle sensor S detects the rotation angle as the lever 60 rotates, and uses this detection result as an accelerator pedal. pedal ac
It is given to the fuel injection control system E as the depression amount of c.
