Abstract

Ein Fahrpedal hat einen aus zwei Blattfedern (3, 4) gebildeten Pedalarm (1). Diese Blattfedern (3, 4) werden durch einen Druck auf eine an deren freien Enden angeordnete Pedalplatte (5) gebogen. Der Grad der Biegung wird von auf der Blattfeder (4) befestigten Dehnmeßstreifen (7, 8) ermittelt und in elektrische Signale umgewandelt. Bei einem Biegen gleiten die Blattfedern (3, 4) übereinander und erzeugen damit eine Hysterese des Fahrpedals.

Figure 00000001
An accelerator pedal has a pedal arm (1) formed from two leaf springs (3, 4). These leaf springs (3, 4) are bent by pressure on a pedal plate (5) arranged at their free ends. The degree of bending is determined by strain gauges (7, 8) attached to the leaf spring (4) and converted into electrical signals. When bending, the leaf springs (3, 4) slide over one another and thus generate a hysteresis of the accelerator pedal.
