Description
DISPOSITIF DE COMMANDE UNIQUE POUR ACTIONNER L'ACCELERATEUR
ET LE FREIN D'UN VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de
commande unique pour actionner l'accélérateur et le frein d'un véhicule automobile pour handicapés, en particulier pour les personnes paraplégiques.SINGLE CONTROL DEVICE FOR ACTUATING THE ACCELERATOR
AND THE BRAKE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
The present invention relates to a device for
single command to operate the accelerator and brake of a motor vehicle for the disabled, in particular for paraplegics.
Il existe différents systèmes conçus pour remplacer les commandes traditionnelles à pédale par des commandes actionnables manuellement par l'utilisateur. There are different systems designed to replace traditional pedal controls with manually operated controls by the user.
Ainsi le brevet français FR2704490 décrit un dispositif de commande d'accélérateur constitué d'un cercle disposé coaxialement au dessus du volant mais entièrement libre par rapport au volant et agissant par au moins un couple de tiges sur un système de leviers du type à parallélogramme articulé. Thus, French patent FR2704490 describes an accelerator control device constituted by a circle arranged coaxially above the steering wheel but entirely free relative to the steering wheel and acting by at least a couple of rods on a system of levers of the articulated parallelogram type. .
Différents systèmes assurant la double commande ont été proposés. Different systems ensuring dual control have been proposed.
FR 2046086 est un dispositif à pédale centrale unique comprenant un levier de frein suspendu à pivotement à un arbre principal et un levier d'accélérateur monté à pivotement sur ledit levier de frein. FR 2046086 is a single central pedal device comprising a brake lever pivotally suspended from a main shaft and an accelerator lever pivotally mounted on said brake lever.
FR2344892, W09103386, W09522469 concernent des dispositifs à double commande manuelle, frein et accélérateur fixés au plancher du véhicule ou au dessous du volant de direction. FR2344892, W09103386, W09522469 relate to devices with double manual control, brake and accelerator fixed to the vehicle floor or below the steering wheel.
Les brevets français FR2689461 et FR2689461 concernent des systèmes de commande d'accélérateur et de freins séparés mais situés sur le volant directionnel. French patents FR2689461 and FR2689461 relate to separate throttle and brake control systems located on the steering wheel.
Enfin le brevet français concerne un chariot de manutention dans lequel les moyens de commande de freinage et d'accélérateur, situés à droite près du volant peuvent être actionnés avec la même main. Finally, the French patent relates to a handling trolley in which the braking and accelerator control means, located on the right near the steering wheel can be actuated with the same hand.
Dans tous ces systèmes la commande se fait en utilisant la main droite qui ne peut plus assurer le contrôle de la direction et n'est plus disponible rapidement pour d'autres manoeuvres telles que changement de vitesse. In all these systems the control is done using the right hand which can no longer provide direction control and is no longer available quickly for other maneuvers such as speed change.
Les systèmes de conduite existants pour conducteurs paraplégiques ne permettent pas la maîtrise simultanée de toutes les commandes et ne préservent pas suffisamment l'équilibre du tronc de conducteur paraplégique handicapé des membres inférieurs, bassin et thorax. Existing driving systems for paraplegic drivers do not allow simultaneous control of all commands and do not sufficiently preserve the balance of the disabled paraplegic driver's trunk of the lower limbs, pelvis and thorax.
La présente invention vise à remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant un dispositif qui permet un actionnement manuel de freinage et d'accélération sans avoir à lâcher l'une ou l'autre main du volant. The present invention aims to remedy the above drawbacks by proposing a device which allows manual actuation of braking and acceleration without having to release either hand of the steering wheel.
Il consiste en effet à équiper le poste de conduite du véhicule d'une commande groupée des freins et de l'accélérateur, à proximité et à gauche du volant. It consists in equipping the driver's seat of the vehicle with a group control of the brakes and the accelerator, near and to the left of the steering wheel.
Le dispositif de l'invention est constitué d'un levier combiné à déplacement bidirectionnel fixé sur un axe près du moyeu du volant. The device of the invention consists of a combined lever with bidirectional movement fixed on an axis near the hub of the steering wheel.
Le déplacement vers le bas du levier permet l'actionnement de l'accélérateur. Moving the lever down activates the accelerator.
Le mouvement du levier vers le bas entraîne le câble d'accélération. The downward movement of the lever drives the throttle cable.
Le mouvement du levier vers l'avant sollicite le système de freinage. The forward movement of the lever acts on the braking system.
D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description détaillée qui va suivre. Other characteristics of the invention will appear more clearly in the detailed description which follows.
Cette description donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif fera mieux comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée en référence au dessin annexé. This description given by way of nonlimiting example will make it easier to understand how the invention can be implemented with reference to the attached drawing.
La figure 1 représente le dispositif de commande de l'invention vu de face avec le volant à l'avant en premier plan laissant apparaître les mécanismes d'entraînement d'accélérateur et de freinage. FIG. 1 represents the control device of the invention seen from the front with the steering wheel in the foreground in the foreground revealing the accelerator and braking drive mechanisms.
En se reportant à la figure le numéro de référence 1 correspond au levier de commande 1 fixé sur un axe 7 au voisinage du moyeu 8 du volant 3. Referring to the figure, the reference number 1 corresponds to the control lever 1 fixed on an axis 7 in the vicinity of the hub 8 of the flywheel 3.
Le levier 1 par pivotement autour d'un axe 2 entraîne le câble d'accélération 4 coulissant dans une gaine flexible rigide 5. The lever 1 by pivoting around an axis 2 drives the acceleration cable 4 sliding in a rigid flexible sheath 5.
Le levier 1 solidaire du levier 6 actionne la tringle de freinage 9 via la rotule 10 par pivotement autour de l'axe 7. The lever 1 secured to the lever 6 actuates the braking rod 9 via the ball joint 10 by pivoting about the axis 7.
Lorsque le levier 1 est déplacé vers le bas, suivant la direction A le dit levier fonctionne en commande d'accélérateur. When the lever 1 is moved downwards, in the direction A, the said lever operates in accelerator control.
Le levier 1 pivote autour de l'axe 2 monté sur le levier 6 perpendiculairement au plan du volant 3 et entraîne le câble d'accélérateur 4. The lever 1 pivots around the axis 2 mounted on the lever 6 perpendicular to the plane of the steering wheel 3 and drives the accelerator cable 4.
Lorsque le levier 1 est déplacé perpendiculairement au plan du volant suivant la direction (F) le dit levier fonctionne en commande de freinage. When the lever 1 is moved perpendicular to the plane of the steering wheel in the direction (F), the said lever operates in braking control.
La main gauche prend appui sur le volant 3 par le pouce et rapproche le levier 1 dudit volant 3 , ce qui provoque le pivotement du levier 6 autour d'un axe 7, à la fois parallèle au plan du volant et parallèle au plan vertical passant par l'axe-colonne du volant. The left hand rests on the steering wheel 3 by the thumb and brings the lever 1 closer to the steering wheel 3, which causes the lever 6 to pivot about an axis 7, both parallel to the plane of the steering wheel and parallel to the passing vertical plane. by the steering column axis.
Les leviers 1 et 6 pivotant simultanément autour de l'axe 7 poussent vers l'avant et parallèlement à l'axecolonne du volant la tringle 9 via la rotule 10. The levers 1 and 6 pivoting simultaneously around the axis 7 push forward the rod 9 via the ball 10 in parallel with the steering column axis.
La tringle 9 actionne le bras 11 de la pédale de frein via l'articulation 12. The rod 9 actuates the arm 11 of the brake pedal via the articulation 12.
L'axe 7 est relié solidement et de façon rigide à des éléments structurels rigides du véhicule. Il est situé à proximité immédiate du moyeu 8 du volant pour optimiser les longueurs des bras de levier entre l'extrémité du levier 1 et l'axe 7 d'une part et entre l'axe 7 et la tringle 9 d'autre part
Une assistance complémentaire de freinage du type deuxième MASTER-VACE peut être installée dans le bloc moteur pour améliorer l'efficacité du freinage. The axis 7 is securely and rigidly connected to rigid structural elements of the vehicle. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the hub 8 of the steering wheel to optimize the lengths of the lever arms between the end of the lever 1 and the axis 7 on the one hand and between the axis 7 and the rod 9 on the other hand
A second MASTER-VACE type additional braking assistance can be installed in the engine block to improve braking efficiency.
Le dispositif de l'invention est mieux adapté aux problèmes de conduite notamment de freinage des conducteurs paraplégiques puisque, contrairement aux dispositifs existants avec levier de freinage à pousser vers l'avant ou vers le bas qui déséquilibrent momentanément le corps en sollicitant un rééquilibrage de l'effort de la main actionnant le levier par l'appui du corps sur le siège ou de l'autre main sur le volant, il ne sollicite que des efforts internes de la main gauche. The device of the invention is better suited to driving problems, in particular braking of paraplegic drivers since, unlike existing devices with braking lever to be pushed forward or downward which momentarily unbalance the body by requesting a rebalancing of the body. 'effort of the hand actuating the lever by the support of the body on the seat or the other hand on the steering wheel, it requires only internal efforts of the left hand.
Dans le cas du dispositif de l'invention les efforts s'auto-équilibrent entre le levier (1) et le volant 3. Il n'y a pas d'effort transmis au corps du conducteur et le dispositif ne peut engendrer de déséquilibre ni de lâcher de frein puisque la colonne dorsale n'est pas sollicitée. In the case of the device of the invention, the forces self-balance between the lever (1) and the steering wheel 3. There is no force transmitted to the driver's body and the device cannot generate imbalance or to release the brake since the backbone is not stressed.
