Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle pedal bracket and a pedal module. More specifically, a vehicle pedal support bracket is integrated to use a manual transmission vehicle (hereinafter referred to as MT vehicle) clutch pedal, and an automatic transmission vehicle (hereinafter referred to as AT vehicle) using a foot parking brake pedal. The present invention relates to a vehicle pedal bracket that can be used in common with both, and a pedal module using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 shows an example of a conventional MT vehicle pedal. A brake pedal 2 swingably supported by a support 1, a clutch pedal 4 swingably supported by a support 3, and an accelerator pedal 5 connected to a throttle (not shown) are mounted on a body. There is.
Such pedals for MT vehicles are used in many vehicles, but since each pedal is individually attached to the body, it is very difficult to assemble the pedals, and a skilled worker is forced to perform heavy labor. become. There is also a problem that the labor cost rises and the manufacturing cost increases.

For this reason, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-185632 proposes an MT vehicle pedal module as shown in FIG. This includes a support 7 that swingably supports a brake pedal 2 that drives a booster 6, a support 8 that swingably supports a clutch pedal 4, and a support 9 that swingably supports an accelerator pedal 5. It is arranged on the plate 10, and the plate 10 and each support 7,
8 and 9 are integrally formed of resin. The pedal module 11 thus assembled is attached to the dash panel.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional pedal module for an AT vehicle. This is accelerator pedal 5, brake pedal 2, parking brake pedal 12
An accelerator pedal bracket portion 13, a brake pedal bracket portion 14, and a parking brake pedal bracket portion 15, which respectively rotatably support each other, are formed to form a vehicle pedal module 16.

[0005]

Among the conventional vehicle pedal modules described above, the AT vehicle pedal module described with reference to FIG. 5 and the MT vehicle pedal module described with reference to FIG. It can be reduced. However, in consideration of physical distribution and manufacturing, there is a problem that the cost is increased because a dedicated pedal bracket must be set for each type of MT vehicle and AT vehicle.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, an MT vehicle pedal module is an MT vehicle pedal bracket in which an accelerator pedal, a clutch pedal and a brake pedal are assembled, and an AT vehicle pedal module is as shown in FIG. AT
The vehicle pedal bracket is assembled with an accelerator pedal, a clutch pedal, and an AT vehicle parking brake pedal. Therefore, there are different pedal modules depending on the difference between the pedals for MT vehicles and the pedals for AT vehicles.

In view of the above conventional problems, the present invention provides a vehicle pedal bracket that can be commonly used for MT vehicles and AT vehicles, and an MT vehicle pedal module and an AT vehicle pedal module using the pedal bracket. The purpose is to realize.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle pedal bracket according to claim 1 of the present invention is M
A vehicle pedal bracket that can be commonly used for T cars and AT cars, in which an accelerator pedal support 22 capable of swingably supporting an accelerator pedal 26 and a brake pedal 27 are swingable. A brake pedal support 23 that can be supported and a clutch pedal support 24 that can swingably support the MT vehicle clutch pedal 28 or the AT vehicle parking brake pedal 29 are provided. Characterize. A second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the vehicle pedal bracket is integrally formed of resin.

By adopting this configuration, one type of pedal bracket can be commonly used for pedal modules of MT vehicles and AT vehicles.

A third aspect of the present invention uses the vehicle pedal bracket 20 according to the first or second aspect, wherein the accelerator pedal support 22 is an accelerator pedal 26, the brake pedal support 23 is a brake pedal 27, and the clutch is a clutch. MT vehicle clutch pedal 28 on pedal support 24
It is characterized in that each is assembled so as to be swingable.
By adopting this configuration, a pedal module for an MT vehicle can be obtained.

A fourth aspect of the present invention uses the vehicle pedal bracket 20 according to the first or second aspect of the present invention, wherein an accelerator pedal support 22 is an accelerator pedal 26, a brake pedal support 23 is a brake pedal 27, and a clutch. An AT vehicle parking brake pedal 29 is swingably assembled to the pedal support 24. By adopting this configuration, a pedal module for an AT vehicle can be obtained.

[0012]

1 is a view showing an embodiment of a vehicle pedal bracket according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the pedal bracket 20 of the present embodiment includes a flat plate-shaped bracket body 21 and an accelerator pedal support 22.
The brake pedal support 23 and the clutch pedal support 24 are arranged and formed at predetermined positions.

The bracket body 21 has a mounting hole 25 for inserting a screw for mounting to the body.
There are a plurality of holes. In addition, each support 22-24
Bearing holes 22a to 24a for mounting pedals are formed in the. The bracket body 21 and the supports 22 to 24 may be made of iron, but it is most preferable in terms of cost to integrally form them with resin.

The vehicle pedal bracket thus constructed is assembled as a pedal module shown in FIG. 2 (a). In the pedal module of the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, an accelerator pedal 26, which is commonly used for MT vehicles and AT vehicles, is swingably attached to an accelerator pedal support 22 of a pedal bracket 20, and a brake is provided. A brake pedal 27, which is commonly used for MT vehicles and AT vehicles, is swingably attached to the pedal support 23.

In the case of an MT vehicle, a clutch pedal 28 for an MT vehicle shown in FIG. 2 (b) is swingably assembled to the clutch pedal support 24, and the state shown in FIG. 3 (a) is obtained. Further, in the case of an AT vehicle, the parking brake pedal 29 for an AT vehicle shown in FIG. 2 (c) is swingably assembled into the state of FIG. 3 (b). Thus, the pedal module for MT vehicles and the pedal module for AT vehicles can be formed using the same pedal bracket 20.

In the pedal module thus constructed, each pedal can be attached to the dash panel in a lump and the workability is improved. Further, since the parts other than the clutch pedal for the MT vehicle and the parking brake pedal for the AT vehicle are common to the MT vehicle and the AT vehicle, it is advantageous in physical distribution and manufacturing and can contribute to cost reduction.

[0017]

According to the pedal bracket and pedal module for a vehicle of the present invention, each pedal can be attached to the dash panel at once, so that it can be easily assembled without requiring any skill. Is improved, and the cost reduction effect can be achieved by being able to assemble at once. Further, the cost can be reduced by increasing the number of common parts for MT vehicles and AT vehicles.
