Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pedal unit with a pedal or a non-contact sensor for detecting a movement of or a method for producing a pedal unit according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • a sensor module can be arranged in a hollow axle of a pedal module, wherein magnets are arranged around the sensor module in recesses of the pedal unit. The magnets rotate with the pedal and thus around the sensor.
  • the publication WO 01/63211 A1 relates to a measuring device for non-contact detection of a rotation angle, which comprises a magnet and a magnetic field-sensitive element.
  • the magnetic field sensitive element is fixedly arranged on a fixed shaft.
  • the magnet is mounted on a rotatable element (12) whose rotation angle is to be detected.
  • the magnet Upon actuation of the rotatable member, the magnet rotates together with the rotatable member about the magnetic field sensitive element. Characterized a linear output signal is generated depending on the magnetic position on the magnetic field sensitive element.
  • the pedal unit according to the invention or the contactless sensor according to the invention for detecting a movement of a pedal or the transducer device according to the invention or the inventive method for producing a pedal unit have the advantage that now the air gap caused by the assembly of the pedal unit arises between the sensor element and the encoder, extends in the direction of the hollow axis and is aligned so that the air gap is formed coaxially to the hollow shaft.
  • This allows a simple production of the pedal unit according to the invention or the non-contact sensor and allows the effective encapsulation of this Air gap against the ingress of foreign bodies such as metal chips
  • an impairment of both the mechanics and the sensor signal which is dependent on the physical sensor principle, can be avoided.
  • Another advantage of this installation location is that a deliberate manipulation of the sensor makes it much more difficult or accidental damage to the sensor in the footwell, z. B. can be excluded by a slipping foot.
  • the incorporation in the type according to the invention in the hollow axle allows the tolerance effects of the pedal unit to be least in this rigid hollow shaft, so that sensor integration can be realized at this point without additional mechanical guidance in the sensor without negative influence on the sensor signal.
  • the sensor element can be mounted according to the invention with low acceptable tolerances without contact in front of the encoder. As a result, established, available and inexpensive so-called shaft end angle sensors can be used.
  • This integration allows the use of the geometrically identical encoder shaft and sensor for both left and right hand pedals. A variance between different types of pedals of different vehicles or platforms can thus be realized by adapting only the encoder shaft, without geometrically changing the non-contact sensors.
  • a pedal unit in the present case is the unit that is installed in the vehicle to mount the pedal.
  • the pedal unit therefore comprises a rigid part, which is referred to as a positional block, and the movable pedal.
  • Bermmgungsquest sensor is provided in this pedal unit.
  • the pedal can be there for example a brake pedal or a gas or clutch pedal.
  • the pedal unit and the pedal are usually made of steel in the case of brake pedals and in the case of clutch or accelerator pedals usually made of plastic.
  • the pedal is movably mounted about a hollow axis of the jack to rotate about this hollow axle.
  • the non-contact sensor system which typically consists, for example, of a transmitter magnet as the encoder, which may also comprise a plurality of individual magnets, and a sensor element for detecting the magnetic field, serves to detect the movement of the pedal about this hollow axle.
  • movement is meant in the present case a rotary and / or linear movement of the pedal.
  • the encoder is usually understood to mean a transmitter magnet.
  • other sensor principles are also possible, for example an optical sensor system in which visible and / or invisible light can be used, ultrasound sensors or the utilization of electromagnetic waves.
  • the use of a sensor based on eddy current is possible.
  • the sensor element is usually a Hall sensor or a so-called AMR sensor, which contains an anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor element.
  • Anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor elements are thin film sensors made of a feromagnetic material, such as Permaloi, whose resistance to electrical current flow depends on the angle between a current direction of the current flow and a magnetic field direction in the plane of the thin film.
  • GMR giant magnetoresistive
  • the sensor element not only includes the sensors for detecting the magnetic field, but also a corresponding evaluation chip, which can be integrated with the sensor element.
  • This evaluation chip then enables the delivery of the sensor signal for further evaluation, wherein this evaluation chip can already carry out a preliminary evaluation.
  • the sensor element is designed accordingly: in an optical sensor system, a suitable light receiver is used as the sensor element, in an ultrasonic sensor system an ultrasonic transducer and in the case of the use of electromagnetic waves a suitable radio receiver.
  • the air gap between the transmitter and the sensor element is typically between 1 and 4 mm.
  • the air gap is presently necessary because the encoder rotates with the shaft and the pedal relative to the sensor element. This rotation leads in the case of a magnetic field sensor to a magnetic field change and can be detected by the sensor element, so that the rotation can be measured, in order to be further processed as a driver's request.
  • the non-contact sensor is preferably a magnetic field sensor which has the sensor element and the encoder magnet with the shaft. contactless In the present case, this means that there is no direct positive or positive or material connection between the transmitter and the sensor element, but the transmitter and the sensor element are separated by an air gap.
  • the shaft on which the encoder is arranged is preferably made of a non-magnetic metal.
  • the shaft is guided and stored in the hollow axle.
  • the leadership can be achieved, for example, by a corresponding metal bushing, with other materials can be used instead of metal.
  • the guide can alternatively be achieved by a corresponding design of the hollow shaft and the shaft. Furthermore, a guide on the outside diameter of the hollow shaft is conceivable.
  • the sensor element has means for attachment to one end of the hollow axle of the pedal unit, so that the sensor element is separated from the transmitter in the hollow axle only via an air gap.
  • the sensor element is thus screwed onto the pedal unit, for example on the bearing block or the hollow axle itself, on one end of the hollow shaft on which the encoder is located.
  • These agents are usually, as indicated, threaded connections; However, other non-positive or positive or cohesive connections are possible.
  • the encoder is arranged on the shaft, which is inserted in the hollow axle, wherein the shaft is coupled to the pedal such that the encoder is moved by the pedal.
  • a driver element can be used, which is for example pressed into the shaft and screwed to the pedal.
  • a so-called drive plate can be used for this purpose.
  • the drive plate is located on the same side or on the opposite side of the shaft on which the encoder is arranged.
  • the encoder can be glued on the shaft, pressed or by a cohesive connection or non-positive Attached connection or positive connection.
  • the encoder is thus arranged on the end face of the shaft opposite the sensor element only separated by the air gap.
  • the encoder can be arranged in a recess of the shaft and, for example, only partially protrude beyond the shaft.
  • the encapsulation of the air gap against the ingress of foreign bodies can be achieved by the following measures:
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view through the pedal unit according to the invention with the essential relevant components according to the invention. From the Lübock 10 only the necessary parts that are necessary for understanding the invention are shown here.
  • the position block 10 is a hollow axle, in which, for example, the bushing 11 is located.
  • This bushing 11 is made for example of steel. However, other suitable materials are conceivable.
  • the bearing of the shaft can be done at the protruding end of the hollow shaft and the outer diameter.
  • the position block 10 is made of a usually magnetic material or material mix of magnetic and non-magnetic material.
  • the shaft 12 according to the invention, which is designed as a rotatable carrier, introduced and stored.

  • a sensor magnet 15 as the encoder, which is present in the shaft 12, in a recess pressed.
  • the magnet is made, for example, of plastic-bonded ferrite or sintered NeFeB or SmCo.
  • the shaft 12 is protected by a locking washer 13 from falling out of the hollow shaft. Also conceivable is an introduction of the shaft in the hollow shaft, from the side on which the driver attacks until it stops at a collar of the shaft, so that the federal government and the driver in interaction secure the shaft from moving and falling out.
  • the shaft 12 has a corresponding guide.
  • a driver plate 14 is pressed into a corresponding opening 101 of the shaft 12. Instead of an injection, other connection techniques are possible. This opening 101 is dimensioned accordingly and is located on the opposite side of the end face of the shaft 12.
  • the driver plate 14 as a driving element is fixedly connected to the pedal, for example by a screw or welded connection and resiliently designed for the purpose of tolerance compensation and axial positioning of the shaft to stop ,
  • the sensor element 17 is applied by an air gap 102 relative to the encoder magnet 15 on the end of the hollow shaft and secured to the drive block 10, for example by a screw connection.
