Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a clutch pedal, intended to equip a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, comprising at least one flange rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation adapted to be connected to the deck of the vehicle, a pedal core to a end of which is fixed a pin adapted to slide in a slot in the flange, a movement mechanism for sliding the pin in the light by defining a length (L) between the axis of rotation of the flange and the other end of the pedal soul, a pin fixed to the flange at a distance (R) from the axis of rotation and adapted to receive the end of the rod of the clutch transmitter of the vehicle.
  • adjustable pedals It is known to implement adjustable pedals in motor vehicles and some are currently used on vehicles equipped with automatic gearbox and controlled from a control box accessible from the driving position.
  • adjusted means that all or part of the crankset is likely to be moved closer to or away from the driver's seat in the direction of the length of the vehicle so that it is possible to adjust the position of at least a part of the crankset. pedal compared to the driver's seat and therefore to its size.
  • the clutch pedals mentioned above are not entirely satisfactory, particularly for small drivers. Indeed, once the adjustment of the pedal performed, the clutch performed by the driver is not necessarily large enough to be able to properly engage the desired ratio because the useful stroke of the pedal is not compensated.
  • the object of the present invention is then to provide a clutch pedal of the type mentioned above, the useful stroke can be compensated regardless of its position.
  • the subject of the invention is a clutch pedal intended to equip a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, comprising at least one flange rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation adapted to be connected to the vehicle apron. , a pedal core at one end of which is fixed a pin adapted to slide in a first slot in the flange, a movement mechanism for sliding the pin in the light by defining a length (L) between the axis of rotation of the flange and the other end of the pedal soul, a stud fixed to the flange at a distance (R) from the axis of rotation and adapted to receive the end of the stem of the clutch transmitter of the vehicle comprising means for obtaining a constant gear ratio (L / R), characterized in that the means for obtaining a constant gear ratio (L / R) comprises a rod whose one end is integral with the pedal core and the other end is secured to a cam provided with a second light adapted to receive by sliding the pin and translate it in a
  • the means for obtaining a constant gear ratio comprise a rod whose one end is secured to the pedal core and the other end is integral with a cam provided with a second light adapted to receive by sliding the nipple and translate it into a third light made in the flange.
  • the displacement mechanism comprises an angle reducer coupled to a worm on which a nut integral with the pedal core is slidable.
  • the worm and the angle reducer are fixed on one of the faces of the flange.
  • the link is directly secured to the pedal soul via the pin.
  • the cam is directly secured to the flange via a pivot connection.
  • the link is secured to the cam via a pivot connection.
  • the length of the rod, the shape of the light of the cam and the location of the pivot connection respectively between the rod and the cam and between the latter and the flange are adapted to be modified according to the will of the driver.
  • the invention also relates to a pedal module intended to be implanted in a motor vehicle comprising a pedal according to one of claims 1 to 7.
  • This module advantageously comprises a brake pedal comprising a displacement mechanism for achieving the same spatial displacement as that of the clutch pedal.
  • the clutch pedal 1 comprises, first of all, a pair of flanges 2a, 2b parallel to each other and rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 3 mounted on a not shown crank support. on which is also mounted a brake pedal.
  • This support is adapted to be linked to the deck of a motor vehicle not shown here.
  • Between these two flanges 2a, 2b are also mounted fixed in their upper part a reinforced pin 31 parallel to the axis of rotation 3 on which a not shown assistance spring is fixed and in their lower part 32.33 rollers between which a pedal soul 4 can slide.
  • this pedal soul 4 At the upper end 4a of this pedal soul 4 is fixed a pin 5 adapted to slide in a slot 21 formed in the flanges 2a and 2b. At the lower end 4b of the pedal core 4 is fixed a shoe 6 of known shape and dimensions adapted to the vehicle.
  • a displacement mechanism 7 is provided on the outer face of the other flange 2b, to slide the pin 5 into the slot 21 by defining a length (L) between the axis of 3 rotation of the flange and the lower end 4b of the pedal core 4 approximately in the middle of the shoe 6.
  • This mechanism 7 comprises a corner reducer 71 coupled to a worm 72 on which a nut 73 integral with the soul pedal 4 is slidable.
  • the angle reducer 71 consists of a gear train known per se, not shown here. Its input 710 is connected to an electric motor via a transmission cable known per se. This electric motor is advantageously for reasons of cost and space that which feeds other mechanisms of movement of other pedals.
  • a pin 8 is mounted free in translation in two slots 22a, 22b formed in the two flanges 2a, 2b of identical shape and parallel to each other at a distance (R) from the axis of rotation 3. On this pin 8 is fixed by clipping the end of the hydraulic rod 9 of the clutch transmitter repesented dashed.
  • the connection between the pin 8 and the clutch transmitter can also be made by cable in a manner known per se.
  • the clutch pedal 1 finally comprises a rod 10 whose one end is fixed to the pin 5 and the other end is fixed to a cam 11 via a pivot connection 12.
  • the cam 11 is itself pivotally mounted around an axis 13 fixed to the flange 2a and is provided with a second slot 14 of generally semicircular shape offset from its axis of rotation 13 and in which the pin 8 is slidable.
  • the rod 10 slides downwards and moves the cam 11 which translates the pin 8 into the slots 22a, 22b formed in the flanges 2a, 2b.
  • the distance (R) is thus modified to reach the value (Ro) so that the ratio (Lo / Ro) is equal to that initial.
  • the pedal 1 has a gear ratio (L / R) constant regardless of its position relative to the deck, ie its race. This translates to the driver by a constant effort to perform.
