Description

  The present invention relates to a driving posture adjusting device for a vehicle that adjusts the posture of an occupant (driver) seated in a driver seat.

  In general, as shown in FIG. The layout of the seat 200, the floor panel 201, and the accelerator pedal 202 (or brake pedal) is designed in accordance with the occupant M having a standard physique (medium).

  The above-described seat 200 includes a seat cushion 203, a seat back 204, and a headrest 205, and as shown in FIG. 34, the occupants L, M, and S who are seated on the seat cushion 203 by a seat slide device (not shown). The hip points P11, P12, and P13 of S are configured to move back and forth in a substantially horizontal direction, but the position of the accelerator pedal 202 and the position of the floor panel 201 are fixed.

For this reason, there were the following problems. That is, the occupants L, M, and S operate the accelerator pedal 202 with a heel on a floor mat 207 laid on the top surface of the floor panel 201. In this case, there is no particular problem with the occupant L having a large physique or the standard occupant M having a medium physique, but in the case of the occupant S having a small physique, the feet do not reach the accelerator pedal 202 sufficiently, When the accelerator pedal 202 is operated with a heel, the pedal 202 is stepped on at the toe portion, and when the accelerator pedal 202 is depressed, the accelerator pedal 202 moves in the forward direction of the vehicle. In order to eliminate such problems, the occupant S with a small physique sits in a position closer to the front with respect to the seat cushion 203,
The accelerator pedal 202 was operated after the kite was lifted from the floor mat 207 surface.

Further, in order to properly secure the operability of the accelerator pedal 202 and the brake pedal, the occupants L, M, and S have conventionally adjusted their driving postures.
In order to solve such problems, a vehicle driving posture adjusting device as shown in FIG. 35 has already been invented (see Patent Document 1).
This conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 35 is configured to adjust the position of the seat 300 between the front upper part and the rear lower part in the slant direction, and adjusts the front and rear positions of the brake and / or accelerator pedal 301 in a substantially horizontal direction. In addition, the positional relationship between the pedal 301 and the seat 300 is configured to be maintained substantially constant according to the occupant's physique.

The conventional apparatus shown in FIG. 35 has an advantage that the foot of the passenger S having a small physique can reach the pedal 301 sufficiently, but has the following problems.
That is, the lower part of the human ankle (so-called foot) can move up and down with the ankle joint as a fulcrum, but does not bend upward beyond a certain level. When the occupant operates the pedal 301, the pedal 301 is operated by moving the foot downward from a state where the foot is bent upward with the ankle joint as a fulcrum. In this case, since the angle of the tread of the pedal 301 is constant, when the occupant operates the pedal 301, the pedal tread is depressed from the angle of the tread of the pedal 301 and the state where the foot is bent upward with the occupant's ankle as a fulcrum. There is a problem that the operation direction of the pedal is poor because the direction of operation is not suitable, and it is difficult to optimize the leg angle and the pedal operation direction of the occupant operating the pedal.
In addition, since the position of the steering 303 cannot be adjusted, it is difficult to optimize the arm angle of the occupant.
