以下本発明を実施するための最良の形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図１に示すように、１は車両用ペダル装置で、本実施形態では、ブレーキペダル用に用いられているものであるが、クラッチペダル用のものでも同様に実施可能である。車両用ペダル装置１は運転者の足によって踏まれるペダルシート２と、下端側にペダルシート２が設けられたペダルアーム４とを備えている。ペダルアーム４は上端側に設けられた支持軸６を介して図示しない車体に回動可能に支持されている。 The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a vehicle pedal device, which is used for a brake pedal in this embodiment, but can also be similarly applied to a clutch pedal. The vehicle pedal device 1 includes a pedal seat 2 that is stepped on by a driver's foot and a pedal arm 4 that is provided with the pedal seat 2 on the lower end side. The pedal arm 4 is rotatably supported by a vehicle body (not shown) via a support shaft 6 provided on the upper end side.

ペダルシート２は、図２、図３に示すように、車両の左右方向に幅が広く、断面形状が湾曲して形成されており、ペダルシート２には図示しないゴム製のペダルパッドが被せられる。また、ペダルシート２は、支持軸６に対して車両の左右方向にオフセットされた位置に配置されている。尚、ペダルシート２は車両の左右方向に幅が狭い形状のものに代替してもよい。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pedal seat 2 is wide in the left-right direction of the vehicle and has a curved cross-sectional shape. The pedal seat 2 is covered with a rubber pedal pad (not shown). . The pedal seat 2 is disposed at a position offset in the left-right direction of the vehicle with respect to the support shaft 6. The pedal seat 2 may be replaced with one having a shape that is narrow in the left-right direction of the vehicle.

ペダルアーム４は、支持軸６からペダルシート２に至るまでの細長い形状に、オフセットに応じて屈曲されて形成されている。ペダルアーム４はペダルアーム４の長手方向に沿って分割された一対の左右半割部材８，１０により形成されている。一対の左右半割部材８，１０は、運転者に対して左右に分割されている。即ち、支持軸６に対して交差する面で分割されている。   The pedal arm 4 is formed in an elongated shape from the support shaft 6 to the pedal seat 2 by bending according to the offset. The pedal arm 4 is formed by a pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 divided along the longitudinal direction of the pedal arm 4. The pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are divided into left and right with respect to the driver. That is, it is divided by a plane intersecting the support shaft 6.

一対の左右半割部材８，１０は、それぞれ金属板からプレス成形により形成されており、一対の左右半割部材８，１０が重ね合わされた際に、内部が中空状になるように断面略コ字状に形成されている。左右に分割することにより、一対の左右半割部材８，１０を容易にプレス成形できる。   The pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are each formed by press molding from a metal plate, and when the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are overlapped, the cross section is substantially co-axial so that the inside becomes hollow. It is formed in a letter shape. By dividing into left and right, the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 can be easily press-molded.

図４〜図７に示すように、一対の左右半割部材８，１０は、それぞれ長手方向に沿って形成された平板部１６，１８と、平板部１６，１８の両側を折り曲げた側板部２０〜２３とを有する。運転者側では、左半割部材８の平板部１６から側板部２０が長手方向に沿って全域にわたってほぼ直角に折り曲げて形成されている。運転者と反対側では、同様に、左半割部材８の平板部１６から側板部２１が長手方向に沿って全域にわたってほぼ直角に折り曲げて形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the pair of left and right halved members 8, 10 includes a flat plate portion 16, 18 formed along the longitudinal direction, and a side plate portion 20 in which both sides of the flat plate portion 16, 18 are bent. ~ 23. On the driver side, the flat plate portion 16 to the side plate portion 20 of the left half member 8 are formed to be bent substantially at right angles over the entire region along the longitudinal direction. Similarly, on the side opposite to the driver, the side plate portion 21 from the flat plate portion 16 of the left half member 8 is formed to be bent substantially at right angles over the entire area along the longitudinal direction.

また、運転者側では、右半割部材１０の平板部１８から側板部２２が長手方向に沿って全域にわたってほぼ直角に折り曲げて形成されている。運転者と反対側でも、同様に、右半割部材１０の平板部１８から側板部２３が長手方向に沿って全域にわたってほぼ直角に折り曲げて形成されている。   Further, on the driver side, the side plate portion 22 from the flat plate portion 18 of the right half member 10 is formed to be bent substantially at right angles over the entire region along the longitudinal direction. Similarly, on the side opposite to the driver, the side plate portion 23 from the flat plate portion 18 of the right half member 10 is formed to be bent substantially at right angles over the entire region along the longitudinal direction.

更に、運転者と反対側では、一対の左右半割部材８，１０の側板部２１，２３から外側に折り曲げられたフランジ部２４，２６が形成されている。一対の左右半割部材８，１０を重ね合わせた際には、この両フランジ部２４，２６同士が密着するように形成されている。   Further, on the side opposite to the driver, flange portions 24 and 26 are formed that are bent outward from the side plate portions 21 and 23 of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10. When the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are overlapped, the flange portions 24 and 26 are formed to be in close contact with each other.

両フランジ部２４，２６は、一対の左右半割部材８，１０の上端側から下端側まで、側板部２１，２３に沿って形成されているが、運転者と反対側で、ペダルアーム４の下端の車体床面２８近傍には両フランジ部２４，２６は形成されていない。運転者によりペダルシート２が踏まれた際に、両フランジ部２４，２６が車体床面２８と干渉したりすることがないように、車体床面２８近傍にはフランジ部２４，２６を形成しない。後述するように、干渉するおそれがない場合には、フランジ部２４，２６を形成してもよい。   Both flange portions 24 and 26 are formed along the side plate portions 21 and 23 from the upper end side to the lower end side of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10, but on the side opposite to the driver, Both flange portions 24 and 26 are not formed near the vehicle body floor 28 at the lower end. The flange portions 24 and 26 are not formed in the vicinity of the vehicle body floor surface 28 so that the flange portions 24 and 26 do not interfere with the vehicle body floor surface 28 when the pedal seat 2 is stepped on by the driver. . As will be described later, when there is no possibility of interference, the flange portions 24 and 26 may be formed.

尚、両フランジ部２４，２６には、対向する位置にそれぞれ溝３５，３６が形成されて、両フランジ２４，２６を重ね合わせた際に、溝３５，３６の箇所には隙間が形成されるように構成されている。これは、両フランジ部２４，２６を重ね合わせた際に、全面において密着させることは加工上、高精度を必要するので、その逃げを形成する等のためであり、必要に応じて設ければよい。   In addition, grooves 35 and 36 are formed in the flange portions 24 and 26 at opposite positions, respectively, and when the flanges 24 and 26 are overlapped, a gap is formed at the position of the grooves 35 and 36. It is configured as follows. This is because, when the flange portions 24 and 26 are overlapped with each other, the close contact with the entire surface requires high accuracy in processing, so that the clearance is formed. Good.

一方、運転者側では、ペダルアーム４の上端から中間にかけて、一対の左右半割部材８，１０の側板部２０，２２から外側に折り曲げられたフランジ部３０，３２が形成されている。一対の左右半割部材８，１０を重ね合わせた際には、この両フランジ部３０，３２同士が密着するように形成されている。   On the other hand, on the driver side, flange portions 30 and 32 bent outward from the side plate portions 20 and 22 of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are formed from the upper end of the pedal arm 4 to the middle. When the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are overlapped, the flange portions 30 and 32 are formed so as to be in close contact with each other.

尚、両フランジ部３０，３２には、対向する位置にそれぞれ溝３３，３４が形成されて、両フランジ３０，３２を重ね合わせた際に、溝３３，３４の箇所には隙間が形成されるように構成されている。これは、両フランジ部３０，３２を重ね合わせた際に、全面において密着させることは加工上、高精度を必要するので、その逃げを形成する等のためであり、必要に応じて設ければよい。   The flanges 30 and 32 have grooves 33 and 34 formed at opposite positions. When the flanges 30 and 32 are overlapped, a gap is formed at the grooves 33 and 34. It is configured as follows. This is because, when the flange portions 30 and 32 are overlapped with each other, the close contact with the entire surface requires high accuracy in processing, so that the clearance is formed. Good.

図６、図７に示すように、運転者側の、一対の左右半割部材８，１０の側板部２０，２２は、ペダルアーム４の下端にペダルシート２を取り付けるため、ペダルシート２の裏面側に密着できるように、ペダルシート２の形状に応じて、湾曲して形成されたシート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａを備えている。一対の左右半割部材８，１０の平板部１６，１８は下端側では互いに間隔が開くように外側に曲げられて、両シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａが、所定の間隔を開けて形成されている。間隔を開けることにより、ペダルシート２の中心からずれて踏まれても、ペダルアーム４が確実に支持軸６の廻りに回動できる。   As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the side plate portions 20 and 22 of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 on the driver side attach the pedal seat 2 to the lower end of the pedal arm 4. In accordance with the shape of the pedal seat 2, the seat mounting side plate portions 20a and 22a are provided so as to be in close contact with each other. The flat plate portions 16 and 18 of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are bent outward so as to be spaced apart from each other on the lower end side, and both sheet attachment side plate portions 20a and 22a are formed with a predetermined interval. Yes. By opening the interval, the pedal arm 4 can be reliably rotated around the support shaft 6 even when the pedal seat 2 is stepped off from the center.

両シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａに続く側板部２０，２２は、一対の左右半割部材８，１０を重ね合わせた際に、両側板部２０，２２同士が重なり合うように、互いが突き出して形成されている。両側板部２０，２２同士が重なり合う範囲は、シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａからフランジ部３０，３２までの、ペダルシート２からペダルアーム４の中間までである。図１に示すように、ペダルシート２を踏む運転者の足の爪先の近傍で、爪先が触れるおそれがある箇所では、フランジ部３０，３２を設けることなく、両側板部２０，２２同士が重なり合うように形成されている。   The side plate portions 20 and 22 following the both seat mounting side plate portions 20a and 22a are formed so as to protrude from each other so that the side plate portions 20 and 22 overlap each other when the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are overlapped. Has been. The range where both side plate portions 20 and 22 overlap is from the pedal seat 2 to the middle of the pedal arm 4 from the seat attachment side plate portions 20a and 22a to the flange portions 30 and 32. As shown in FIG. 1, the side plate portions 20, 22 overlap each other without providing the flange portions 30, 32 in the vicinity of the toes of the foot of the driver who steps on the pedal seat 2 without the flange portions 30, 32. It is formed as follows.

運転者と反対側では、一対の左右半割部材８，１０の側板部２１，２３のうち、シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａと反対側の側板部２１ａ，２３ａは、一対の左右半割部材８，１０を重ね合わせた際に、両側板部２１ａ，２３ａ同士が重なり合うように、互いが突き出して形成されている。この重なり合う両側板部２１ａ，２３ａよりも上側の側板部２１，２３から、前述したフランジ部２４，２６が折り曲げられて形成されている。   On the side opposite to the driver, of the side plate portions 21 and 23 of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10, the side plate portions 21 a and 23 a on the side opposite to the seat mounting side plate portions 20 a and 22 a are the pair of left and right half members 8. , 10 are formed so as to protrude from each other so that the side plate portions 21a, 23a overlap each other. The flange portions 24 and 26 described above are formed by bending the side plate portions 21 and 23 above the overlapping side plate portions 21a and 23a.

一対の左右半割部材８，１０の上端側には、それぞれバーリング孔３８，４０が形成されている。両バーリング孔３８，４０には、中空状のボス４１が挿入されている。このボス４１に支持軸６が挿入されて、ペダルアーム４が車体側に回動可能に支持される。一対の半割部材８，１０には、クレビス取付孔４２，４４が形成されると共に、一方の右半割部材１０の平板部１８には、ストッパブラケット４８が取り付けられている。   Burring holes 38 and 40 are formed on the upper ends of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10, respectively. Hollow bosses 41 are inserted into both burring holes 38 and 40. The support shaft 6 is inserted into the boss 41, and the pedal arm 4 is rotatably supported on the vehicle body side. Clevis mounting holes 42 and 44 are formed in the pair of half members 8 and 10, and a stopper bracket 48 is attached to the flat plate portion 18 of one right half member 10.

一対の左右半割部材８，１０は、重ね合わされた後、レーザ溶接により一体的に固定される。溶接に際しては、両シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａをペダルシート２の裏面に密着できるように、両シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａの位置を合わせる。また、両バーリング孔３８，４０を同心上に合わせる。   The pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are superposed and then fixed integrally by laser welding. At the time of welding, the positions of the two sheet attachment side plate portions 20a and 22a are aligned so that the two sheet attachment side plate portions 20a and 22a can be brought into close contact with the back surface of the pedal seat 2. Moreover, both burring holes 38 and 40 are aligned concentrically.

その際、一対の左右半割部材８，１０の、運転者側のフランジ部３０，３２同士及び運転者と反対側のフランジ部２４，２６同士を重ね合わせると共に、側板部２０，２２同士及び側板部２１ａ，２３ａ同士を重ね合わせる。   At that time, the driver-side flange portions 30 and 32 and the driver-side flange portions 24 and 26 of the pair of left and right half members 8 and 10 are overlapped with each other, and the side plate portions 20 and 22 and the side plates are overlapped. The parts 21a and 23a are overlapped.

運転者側のフランジ部３０，３２と運転者と反対側のフランジ部２４，２６とを重ね合わせると、左右半割部材８，１０は、運転者側のフランジ部３０，３２と運転者と反対側のフランジ部２４，２６との面に沿ってずらすことができる。左右半割部材８，１０をずらしながら、両シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａと両バーリング孔３８，４０との位置を合わせる。   When the flange portions 30 and 32 on the driver side and the flange portions 24 and 26 on the opposite side of the driver are overlapped, the left and right half members 8 and 10 are opposite to the driver's flange portions 30 and 32 and the driver. It can be shifted along the surface with the flange portions 24, 26 on the side. While shifting the left and right half members 8, 10, the positions of the both seat mounting side plates 20 a, 22 a and the burring holes 38, 40 are aligned.

また、一対の左右半割部材８，１０の側板部２０，２２と側板部２１ａ，２３ａを重ね合わせる。これにより、運転者側のフランジ部３０，３２と運転者と反対側のフランジ部２４，２６とを隙間なく重ね合わせることができると共に、側板部２０，２２と側板部２１ａ，２３ａとを隙間なく重ね合わせることができる。   Further, the side plate portions 20, 22 and the side plate portions 21a, 23a of the pair of left and right half members 8, 10 are overlapped. Accordingly, the driver side flange portions 30 and 32 and the driver side flange portions 24 and 26 can be overlapped with no gap, and the side plate portions 20 and 22 and the side plate portions 21a and 23a can be overlapped with no gap. Can be overlapped.

そして、運転者側のフランジ部３０，３２同士及び運転者と反対側のフランジ部２４，２６同士をレーザ溶接により重ね合わせ溶接すると共に、側板部２０，２２同士及び側板部２１ａ，２３ａ同士をレーザ溶接により重ね合わせ溶接する。   The flange portions 30 and 32 on the driver side and the flange portions 24 and 26 on the opposite side of the driver are overlapped and welded by laser welding, and the side plate portions 20 and 22 and the side plate portions 21a and 23a are laser-bonded. Overlap welding is performed by welding.

次に、シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａにペダルシート２の裏面を密着させて、シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａとペダルシート２とをレーザ溶接により一体的に固定する。更に、バーリング孔３８，４０に挿入したボス４１をレーザ溶接により固定する。両クレビス取付孔４２，４４の位置は、両シート取付側板部２０ａ，２２ａと、両バーリング孔３８，４０との位置を合わせたときに、必然的に決まる。   Next, the back surface of the pedal seat 2 is brought into close contact with the seat attachment side plate portions 20a and 22a, and the seat attachment side plate portions 20a and 22a and the pedal seat 2 are integrally fixed by laser welding.
