Description

本発明は、自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルの踏み間違い防止装置に関するものである。  The present invention relates to a device for preventing erroneous depression of an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal of an automobile.

一般に、自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルは、運転席の足元の右側にアクセルペダルが、また左側にブレーキペダルが設けられており、運転中、運転者は前方を見ながら足元を見ることなく左右に位置する両ペダルの踏み分けを行ってアクセルとブレーキの操作を行うようにしている。  In general, an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal of an automobile are provided with an accelerator pedal on the right side of the foot of the driver's seat and a brake pedal on the left side of the driver's seat. The accelerator and brake are operated by depressing both pedals.

ところで、自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルの踏み間違いによる事故が近年、増加している。この踏み間違いが生じるのは、アクセルペダルもブレーキペダルも運転席の足元にあり、運転中、運転者は通常は、前方を見ていて足元を見ることはなく、いわば、勘と慣れだけで両者の踏み分けを行っているためと考えられる。実際、高齢者による踏み分け間違いの事故が増加していることから推測すると、とっさの場合に気が動転し、右側のペダルがアクセルで、左側のペダルがブレーキであるということを瞬間的に失念する結果、誤ったペダルを踏んで、事故に至ることが多いと考えられる。  By the way, in recent years, accidents caused by mistakes in the depression of accelerator pedals and brake pedals of automobiles have increased. This stepping error occurs at the foot of the driver's seat with both the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, and during driving, the driver usually does not look at the feet while looking forward. This is thought to be due to the fact that they are stepping on. In fact, guessing from the increasing number of accidents caused by missteps by older people, I suddenly feel upset and momentarily forget that the right pedal is an accelerator and the left pedal is a brake. As a result, it is thought that accidents are often caused by pressing the wrong pedal.

そこで、本発明は、右側のペダルがアクセル、左側のペダルがブレーキであることを、それぞれと同じ側のランプを異なる色で点灯させ、目で常時、確認することで、無意識に体に記憶させ、とっさの場合でも、条件反射的に左右のペダルを間違えずに踏むことができる自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルの踏み間違い防止装置の提供を課題とする。  Therefore, in the present invention, the right side pedal is an accelerator, and the left side pedal is lit in a different color to confirm that the left side pedal is a brake. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an automobile accelerator pedal and brake pedal mistake prevention device that can step on the left and right pedals without making mistakes in a reflexive manner.

本発明は、運転席前面の計器パネルに設けられる青色のアクセルペダルランプ及び赤色のブレーキペダルランプと、アクセルペダルが踏まれたときにこれを検出するアクセルペダル踏込み検知装置と、ブレーキペダルが踏まれたときにこれを検出するブレーキペダル踏込み検知装置と、これら検知装置から出力された電気信号をもとにアクセルペダルランプ及びブレーキペダルランプを発光させる電子制御回路を備えており、アクセルペダルランプを右に、ブレーキペダルランプを左にして一体的に計器パネルに配置すると共に、アクセルペダルランプを速度計の近くにくるように配置し、かつ、上記電子制御回路により、どちらのランプも両ペダルが踏まれていないときには、青色、赤色が分かる程度の弱い光で光るように制御され、アクセルペダルが少しでも踏まれているときには、青色のアクセルペダルランプが強く光るように制御され、ブレーキペダルが少しでも踏まれているときには、赤色のブレーキペダルランプが強く光るように制御されることを特徴とする。
なお、上記ランプとは、発光ダイオードや電球などの発光体を含む概念である。The present invention includes a blue accelerator pedal lamp and a red brake pedal lamp provided on an instrument panel in front of a driver's seat, an accelerator pedal depression detection device that detects when the accelerator pedal is depressed, and a brake pedal that is depressed. A brake pedal depressing detection device that detects this, and an electronic control circuit that emits the accelerator pedal lamp and the brake pedal lamp based on the electrical signal output from these detection devices. In addition, the brake pedal lamp is placed on the instrument panel as a single unit with the brake pedal lamp on the left, and the accelerator pedal lamp is placed near the speedometer. When it is not rare, it is controlled so that it emits light that is weak enough to recognize blue and red. The blue accelerator pedal lamp is controlled to shine strongly when the pedal is depressed even a little, and the red brake pedal lamp is controlled to shine strongly when the brake pedal is depressed even a little. And
In addition, the said lamp | ramp is a concept containing light-emitting bodies, such as a light emitting diode and a light bulb.

本発明の自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルの踏み間違い防止装置によれば、運転席前面の計器パネルに、一般自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルとの配置に合わせて、右側に青色のアクセルペダルランプ、左側に赤色のブレーキペダルランプを一体的に配置しているので、アクセルペダルは右側、ブレーキペダルは左側であることを、運転者はペダルを踏む足の感覚だけでなく、常に目でも確認していることになる。また、ランプの色を、青が進め、赤が止まれの信号機の色と同じにすることで、特に学習することなく、青色のアクセルペダルランプがアクセルペダル、赤色のブレーキペダルランプがブレーキペダルに連結していることを運転者は常時、目で確認していることになる。その結果、運転者は足の感覚だけでなく、目でも、踏んでいるペダルを認識することになるので、とっさの場合であっても無意識に体が反応し、左右のペダルを踏み間違える可能性は低くなる。また、万一、踏み違えてもそれを目で確認できるので、より迅速にペダルの踏み替えを行うことができ、事故防止に大きな効果が期待できる。
また、実用化に際しても簡単な構造なので、安価に製作することができる。さらに、本発明踏み間違い防止装置は自動車製造時に計器パネル内に取り付けるものと、計器パネル上に外付けするものとが考えられる。According to the accelerator pedal and brake pedal mistake prevention device of the present invention, on the instrument panel on the front of the driver's seat, a blue accelerator pedal lamp on the right side according to the arrangement of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal of a general vehicle, Since the red brake pedal lamp is integrated on the left side, the driver must always check with the eyes as well as the feeling of the foot pressing the pedal, that the accelerator pedal is on the right side and the brake pedal is on the left side. Will be. Also, the blue accelerator pedal lamp is connected to the accelerator pedal and the red brake pedal lamp is connected to the brake pedal without any special learning by making the lamp color the same as that of the traffic light with blue advanced and red stopped. The driver always confirms visually that he is doing. As a result, the driver will recognize not only the feeling of the foot but also the eyes that are stepping on, so the body may react unintentionally even in the event of a moment, and the right and left pedals may be mistakenly pressed. Becomes lower. In addition, even if you make a mistake, you can check it visually, so you can change the pedal more quickly, and you can expect a great effect in preventing accidents.
In addition, since it has a simple structure for practical use, it can be manufactured at low cost. Further, it is conceivable that the stepping error prevention device of the present invention is installed in the instrument panel at the time of automobile manufacture, and is externally attached on the instrument panel.

図１は、本発明に係る自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルの踏み間違い防止装置を示し、この防止装置１は、運転席前面の計器パネル２に配設される青色のアクセルペダルランプ３及び赤色のブレーキペダルランプ４と、アクセルペダル５が踏まれたときにこれを検出するアクセルペダル踏込み検知装置６と、ブレーキペダル７が踏まれたときにこれを検出するブレーキペダル踏込み検知装置８と、これら検出装置６，８から出力された電気信号をもとにアクセルペダルランプ３及びブレーキペダルランプ４を点灯させる電子制御回路（ランプ制御回路）９を備えている。  FIG. 1 shows an accident prevention device for an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal of an automobile according to the present invention. This prevention device 1 includes a blue accelerator pedal lamp 3 and a red accelerator pedal 3 arranged on an instrument panel 2 in front of a driver's seat. Brake pedal lamp 4, accelerator pedal depression detector 6 that detects when the accelerator pedal 5 is depressed, brake pedal depression detector 8 that detects when the brake pedal 7 is depressed, and these detections An electronic control circuit (lamp control circuit) 9 for turning on the accelerator pedal lamp 3 and the brake pedal lamp 4 based on the electrical signals output from the devices 6 and 8 is provided.

そして、アクセルペダルランプ３は、図２に示すように強く光る主青色ランプ３ａと弱く光る補助青色ランプ３ｂとを有し、ブレーキペダルランプ４の右側に配置される。また、アクセルペダルランプ３は速度計１０の近くに（図１では真上）位置するように取り付けられている。また、ブレーキペダルランプ４は、図２に示すように強く光る主赤色ランプ４ａと弱く光る補助赤色ランプ４ｂとを有し、アクセルペダルランプ３の左側に配置される。その場合、特にアクセルペダルランプ３とブレーキペダルランプ４をペアで、相対的に右と左に配置して一体的に計器パネル２に設ける構造とし、これら両ランプ３，４がアクセル５とブレーキ７の位置関係を示すようにしている。本実施の形態では、主青色ランプ３ａ、補助青色ランプ３ｂ、主赤色ランプ４ａ、補助赤色ランプ４ｂとして、それぞれ発光ダイオードを用いているが、その他電球などの発光体を採用してもよいし、或いは一つの青色ランプと一つの赤色ランプを用い、それぞれのランプを強弱発光させるようにしたものであってもよい。  As shown in FIG. 2, the accelerator pedal lamp 3 has a main blue lamp 3 a that shines strongly and an auxiliary blue lamp 3 b that shines weakly, and is disposed on the right side of the brake pedal lamp 4. Further, the accelerator pedal lamp 3 is attached so as to be located near the speedometer 10 (directly above in FIG. 1). Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the brake pedal lamp 4 has a main red lamp 4 a that shines strongly and an auxiliary red lamp 4 b that shines weakly, and is disposed on the left side of the accelerator pedal lamp 3. In that case, in particular, the accelerator pedal lamp 3 and the brake pedal lamp 4 are paired and are arranged on the instrument panel 2 so as to be arranged on the right and left relatively, and both the lamps 3 and 4 are connected to the accelerator 5 and the brake 7. The positional relationship is shown. In the present embodiment, light emitting diodes are used as the main blue lamp 3a, auxiliary blue lamp 3b, main red lamp 4a, and auxiliary red lamp 4b, but other light emitters such as a light bulb may be employed. Alternatively, one blue lamp and one red lamp may be used so that each lamp emits strong and weak light.

アクセルペダル踏込み検知装置６及びブレーキペダル踏込み検知装置８としては、たとえばアクセルペダル５やブレーキペダル７の移動ストロークを検出する光センサーや接触センサーなどを採用すればよい。あるいは、（自動車後部の）ブレーキランプをオン・オフする電源から電気信号を取り出してブレーキペダル踏込み検知装置としてもよい。  As the accelerator pedal depression detection device 6 and the brake pedal depression detection device 8, for example, an optical sensor or a contact sensor that detects the movement stroke of the accelerator pedal 5 or the brake pedal 7 may be employed. Alternatively, an electric signal may be taken out from a power source for turning on / off a brake lamp (at the rear of the automobile) to provide a brake pedal depression detection device.

電子制御回路９は、主としてエンジンのキースイッチ回路に接続され、キースイッチのオン・オフ操作に連動してオン・オフされる。  The electronic control circuit 9 is mainly connected to the key switch circuit of the engine, and is turned on / off in conjunction with the on / off operation of the key switch.

次に、以上のように構成した自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルの踏み間違い防止装置の作用について説明する。  Next, the action of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal mistake prevention device of the automobile configured as described above will be described.

まず、キースイッチがオン状態のもとで、アクセルペダル５及びブレーキペダル７が踏まれていないときは、アクセルペダル及びブレーキペダル踏み込み検知装置６，８からの踏込み無しの電気信号を基に電子制御回路９から補助青色ランプ３ｂと補助赤色ランプ４ｂとに電流が流れて、両ランプ３，４は青色、赤色が分かる程度の弱い光で光っている。これにより、アクセルペダルランプ３とブレーキペダルランプ４とは前面計器パネル２上に弱い光で光っているので、運転者は目視によりアクセルペダル５及びブレーキペダル７が踏まれていない状態であることを認識できる。  First, when the accelerator pedal 5 and the brake pedal 7 are not depressed while the key switch is on, the electronic control is performed based on the electric signal indicating no depression from the accelerator pedal and brake pedal depression detectors 6 and 8. Current flows from the circuit 9 to the auxiliary blue lamp 3b and the auxiliary red lamp 4b, and both lamps 3 and 4 are shined with weak light that can be seen in blue and red. Accordingly, since the accelerator pedal lamp 3 and the brake pedal lamp 4 are shined with weak light on the front instrument panel 2, the driver confirms that the accelerator pedal 5 and the brake pedal 7 are not stepped on visually. Can be recognized.

次に、アクセルペダル５が少しでも踏まれているときには、アクセルペダル踏込み検知装置６からの踏込み有りの電気信号を基に電子制御回路９からアクセルペダルランプ３に電流が流れて主青色ランプ３ａが強く光ることになる。これにより運転者はアクセルペダル５を踏む足による感覚だけでなく、目でもアクセルペダル５を踏んだことを確認することができる。一方、ブレーキペダル７が少しでも踏まれているときには、ブレーキペダル踏込み検知装置８からの踏込み有りの電気信号を基に電子制御回路９からブレーキペダルランプ４に電流が流れて主赤色ランプ４ａが強く光ることになる。これにより運転者はブレーキペダル７を踏む足による感覚だけでなく、目でもブレーキペダル７を踏んだことを確認することができる。  Next, when the accelerator pedal 5 is depressed even a little, a current flows from the electronic control circuit 9 to the accelerator pedal lamp 3 based on an electric signal with the depression from the accelerator pedal depression detection device 6, and the main blue lamp 3a It will shine strongly. Thus, the driver can confirm that the driver has stepped on the accelerator pedal 5 not only with a sense of foot pressing the accelerator pedal 5 but also with eyes. On the other hand, when the brake pedal 7 is depressed even a little, a current flows from the electronic control circuit 9 to the brake pedal lamp 4 based on an electric signal indicating depression from the brake pedal depression detection device 8, and the main red lamp 4a becomes strong. It will shine. Thus, the driver can confirm that the driver has stepped on the brake pedal 7 not only with the feeling of the foot pressing the brake pedal 7, but also with the eyes.

以上のように、本発明の自動車のアクセルペダルとブレーキペダルの踏み間違い防止装置によれば、運転席前面の計器パネル１に、一般自動車のアクセルペダル５とブレーキペダル７の配置に合わせて、右側に青色のアクセルペダルランプ、左側に赤色のブレーキペダルランプを一体的に配置しているので、アクセルペダル５は右側、ブレーキペダル７は左側であることを、運転者はペダルを踏む足の感覚だけでなく、常に目でも確認していることになる。また、ランプの色を、青が進め、赤が止まれの信号機の色と同じにすることで、特に学習することなく、アクセルペダルランプ（主青色ランプ３ａ、補助青色ランプ３ｂ）３がアクセルペダルに、またブレーキペダルランプ（主赤色ランプ４ａ、補助赤色ランプ４ｂ）４がブレーキペダル７に連結していることを運転者は常時、目で確認していることになる。その結果、運転者は足の感覚だけでなく、目でも、踏んでいるペダルを認識することになるので、とっさの場合であっても無意識に体が反応し、左右のペダルを踏み間違える可能性は低くなる。また、万一、踏み間違えてもそれを目で確認できるので、より迅速にペダルの踏み替えを行うことができ、事故防止に大きな効果が期待できる。
また、実用化に際しても簡単な構造なので、安価に製作することができる。さらに、本発明踏み間違い防止装置は自動車製造時に計器パネル内に取り付けるものと、計器パネル上に外付けするものとが考えられる。As described above, according to the accelerator pedal and brake pedal mistake prevention device of the present invention, the right side of the instrument panel 1 on the front of the driver's seat is aligned with the arrangement of the accelerator pedal 5 and the brake pedal 7 of a general vehicle. The blue accelerator pedal lamp is located on the left side and the red brake pedal lamp is located on the left side so that the accelerator pedal 5 is on the right side and the brake pedal 7 is on the left side. Instead, you always check with your eyes. In addition, the accelerator pedal lamp (main blue lamp 3a, auxiliary blue lamp 3b) 3 can be used as the accelerator pedal without any particular learning by making the lamp color the same as that of the traffic light with blue advanced and red stopped. In addition, the driver always visually confirms that the brake pedal lamp (main red lamp 4a, auxiliary red lamp 4b) 4 is connected to the brake pedal 7. As a result, the driver will recognize not only the feeling of the foot but also the eyes that are stepping on, so the body may react unintentionally even in the event of a moment, and the right and left pedals may be mistakenly pressed. Becomes lower. In addition, even if you make a mistake, you can check it visually, so you can change the pedal more quickly, and you can expect a great effect in preventing accidents.
In addition, since it has a simple structure for practical use, it can be manufactured at low cost. Further, it is conceivable that the stepping error prevention device of the present invention is installed in the instrument panel at the time of automobile manufacture, and is externally attached on the instrument panel.
