Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding device for the pedals of a motor vehicle, which usually includes at least one brake pedal and an accelerator pedal and, in addition, in vehicles with a manual transmission also a clutch pedal.
  • Holding devices of the type described at the outset are known in various forms in vehicle construction. They essentially consist of the pedal bracket with pivotally attached pedals and a base plate to which the pedal bracket is attached and which in turn is usually attached to the bulkhead of a motor vehicle, for example by screwing.
  • Pedal blocks and base plate can be made of sheet metal or die-cast magnesium or aluminum, pedal blocks are also known which are screwed directly into the vehicle without a base plate.
  • Motor vehicles also go to form the pedal bracket with a base plate in one piece from plastic, parts of the brake booster housing being able to be additionally molded onto the plastic base plate on the side facing away from the pedal bracket.
  • pedal release mechanisms which use the force application caused by an accident from the outside to use at least one separating wedge between two metallic ones To drive side cheeks of a receptacle which is pivotably mounted on the pedal lever or levers, in order thereby to enable the bearing element carrying the pedal lever to be released.
  • These designs forming a deforming device are also known as a "pedal release system”.
  • release devices used in the release systems have the disadvantage that, particularly with regard to the geometrical design of the metal components, the design options are limited and the metal components have an increased weight, which in particular counteracts the efforts of consistent lightweight construction in motor vehicle construction.
  • previously known systems are very bulky and complex constructed so that their assembly or disassembly is complex and therefore considerably more difficult.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a holding device for the pedals of a motor vehicle which, when the holding device is used in the context of a pedal release system, offers the advantage of great design freedom and is furthermore distinguished by reduced weight and simpler manufacture. Furthermore, the invention is to solve the problem
  • the holding device for the pedals of a motor vehicle in this case has a pedal bracket with pedals pivotally attached thereto and a base plate, wherein the base plate and pedal bracket are integrally formed from plastic, the pedal bracket for holding a pedal each has a side wall constructed of two mutually opposite, consisting of sheet metal, injected into the plastic pedal bracket for a pivot axis of the pedal.
  • injection means that the receptacle or the side cheeks are at least partially extrusion-coated with plastic during a plastic injection molding process during the production of the holding device according to the invention.
  • the receptacle made of sheet metal forms a deforming device for releasing the pivot axis of the pedal in the event of an accident in the motor vehicle.
  • Such a constructive design combines the previously conflicting advantages of a holding device made of sheet metal known from the prior art with those of a construction made of plastic.
  • the receptacle made of sheet metal for the pivot axis of the respective pedal is a computationally precisely determinable component in relation to deformations that occur as a result of an accident.
  • the side cheeks into which the pivot axis is accommodated can be used together with the rest by means of an inexpensive method manufacture one-piece holding device. Tolerance chains are also avoided by the one-piece design according to the invention, so that overall a considerable reduction in tolerance of the holding device could be achieved.
  • the one-piece plastic construction of the holding device also significantly increases the design options for optimally utilizing the spatial conditions in the area of the bulkhead and for integrating additional components in whole or in part into the base plate and / or pedal bracket.
  • the base plate on its rear side facing away from the pedal bracket has a two-component injection molded seal for sealing an opening provided in the motor vehicle body for the base plate. Gating the seal significantly reduces the vertical integration. It has also proven to be advantageous to integrate a clutch master cylinder and / or a vacuum socket, which is required in particular in modern diesel vehicles, into the base plate of the housing.
  • the receptacle for a pivot axis of the pedal which is constructed from sheet metal and is injected into the pedal bracket and is constructed from two mutually opposite side cheeks, can each have a bore molded with plastic during manufacture of the holding device, which after completion the holding device forms a bearing element.
  • this breakthrough with built-in intermediate steering shaft has a circumferential seal closing the breakthrough.
  • the introduction of the intermediate steering shaft into the holding device has advantages in terms of reducing the vertical range of manufacture, since the holding device as a whole as a component module has additional components which can be automatically fastened to the bulkhead with the holding device during the finishing of a motor vehicle. This reduces the total number of individual components to be delivered in the final assembly.
  • an expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the base plate of the holding device has the receptacle, for example in the form of a receptacle plate, for an electronic module unit for scanning the accelerator pedal position and transmitting the data determined in the process to downstream modules (E-gas module) ,
  • E-gas module downstream modules
  • the integration of this receptacle in the base plate facilitates the assembly of such an E-gas module, which can now also be carried out before final assembly.
  • additional receptacles for switching devices, brackets and stops both in the base plate and in the plastic area of the pedal bracket is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:
  • Figure 1 is an overall perspective view of the invention

  • FIG. 5 shows a sectional illustration along the line C-C from FIG. 2.
  • the holding device for the pedals of a motor vehicle shown in FIG. 1 has two pedal blocks 1, 2 and a common base plate 3.
  • the pedal bracket 1 is used for the pivotable mounting of a clutch pedal 4 by means of a pivot axis 5.
  • a brake pedal 6 is received in the pedal bracket 2 by means of a pivot axis 7.
  • the two pivot axes 5 and 7 are located in the front area of the pedal blocks 1 and 2 facing away from the base plate 3. These front areas are formed from sheet metal and essentially consist of two side cheeks 8, 9 and 10, 11, respectively.
  • the side cheeks 8, 9 and 10, 11 have a larger distance in their rear area facing the base plate, in which the brake pedal 6 and the clutch pedal 4 are accommodated.
  • the side walls 8, 9 and 10, 11, like the distance between them, are penetrated by the pivot axes 5 and 7, respectively.
