Abstract
Description
この発明は、オートマチック車等のアクセル、ブレーキ操作における踏み間違いを無くす為の各装置の配置、構造及びその操作に関するものである。 The present invention relates to the arrangement, structure, and operation of each device for eliminating a stepping error in accelerator and brake operations of an automatic vehicle or the like.
これまでの自動車は、その本質的機能と言える「走行、制動」に関して、運転席足元の右側に装備された、アクセルとブレーキのそれぞれ正反対に作動する二つのペダルを、運転者が右足のみで踏み分けて作動させる構造となっている。
しかし、この重要で正確を要する二つの判断操作を、運転者の右足のみで行なわせる仕組みは、時として「ペダルの踏み間違い」という誤りから大事故を引き起こすなど、悲惨な状況を生み出す結果となっており、これから脱却すべく、全ての人々の英知を結集した対処、改善の必要に迫られている。
更に言えば、今、自動運転等の技術革新が目覚ましく、事故の無い車社会の実現にも期待される過渡期にあるが、この技術は人、物の輸送関係では大きく発達すると思われるものの、全ての車が自動運転に取り代わる等は考えられない。
本来の車の大事な要素である「誰でも、何時でも、何処にでも自由に行ける」という捨てきれない思いの現実は、多くの人々の強い要望からも、将来に渡って無くなることはないと思われ、車が前述のように、運転者の右足だけによる、アクセル、ブレーキの踏み分け操作を構造とするもので有る限り、「踏み間違い」による事故は今後も無くならないものと思われる。With regard to "driving and braking," which can be said to be the essential function of conventional automobiles, the driver steps on the two pedals, which are installed on the right side of the driver's seat and operate in opposite directions, with only the right foot. It has a structure to operate.
However, the mechanism that allows the driver to perform these two important and accurate judgment operations only with the driver's right foot sometimes causes a serious accident due to the mistake of "pedaling mistake", resulting in a dire situation. In order to escape from this, there is an urgent need for coping and improvement that brings together the wisdom of all people.
Furthermore, technological innovations such as autonomous driving are remarkable now, and we are in a transitional period where we can expect the realization of an accident-free automobile society.Although this technology is expected to develop significantly in relation to the transportation of people and goods, It is unlikely that all cars will replace autonomous driving.
The reality of the indispensable feeling that "anyone can go freely anytime, anywhere", which is an important element of the original car, will not disappear in the future even from the strong demands of many people. As mentioned above, as long as the car has a structure in which the accelerator and brake are stepped on only by the driver's right foot, accidents due to "misstepping" will not disappear in the future.
これは、次のような欠点があった
これまで、一般的にある自動車の走行、制動を司る重要な装備として、アクセルとブレーキの装置があり、それに直結したアクセルペダルが運転席足元右端付近に設置されていて、一方のブレーキペダルが同足元中央部で、前記アクセルペダルに近接した位置に隣り合わせの状態で設置されている。
それ故運転者は、走行に際してこの二つのペダルを交互に踏み分け、走行、停止の各正反対の作動操作を繰り返すことになる。
しかし、この二つのペダルの踏み分け操作を、右足だけで行なう仕組みであることから、時として、運転者の意思に反した「ペダルの踏み間違い」による誤作動を生じることになり、それを元に、大事故に発展する等の深刻な状況にある。
踏み間違いによる暴走事故は何故起きるのかを考察するに、運転者が、運転席右側に配置されたアクセルと、中央部のブレーキの各ペダルを、それぞれ交互に踏み分け操作運転中に、制動のつもりで誤ってアクセルペダルを踏んでしまうことにある。
この時運転者は、間違いに気付かず、ブレーキが効かないと驚愕しパニックに陥り、これを止めようと、更にブレーキと誤認したアクセルペダルを踏み続ける事になって足を離せなくなり、暴走の末の一瞬の間に大事故を引き起こすことになる。
この忌まわしい踏み間違いと言う事象は、これまでのアクセル、ブレーキの右足のみによるペダルの踏み分け操作が続く限り、言われるような高齢者に限らず、年令、性別の差を越え、何時でも、何処でも、誰にでも起り得る永遠の課題となるものと思われる。This has the following drawbacks. Until now, there are accelerator and brake devices as important equipment that controls the driving and braking of automobiles, and the accelerator pedal directly connected to them is near the right end of the driver's seat. One of the brake pedals is installed at the center of the same foot, and is installed next to each other at a position close to the accelerator pedal.
Therefore, the driver alternately steps on these two pedals during driving, and repeats the opposite operation operations of running and stopping.
However, since the mechanism is such that the pedaling operation of these two pedals is performed only with the right foot, sometimes a malfunction occurs due to "wrong pedal depression" against the driver's intention, and based on that. , It is in a serious situation such as developing into a big accident.
To consider why a runaway accident due to a mistake in stepping occurs, the driver intends to brake while driving by alternately stepping on the accelerator located on the right side of the driver's seat and the brake pedals in the center. You may accidentally step on the accelerator pedal.
At this time, the driver did not notice the mistake and was surprised and panicked when the brake did not work, and to stop this, he continued to step on the accelerator pedal which was mistaken for the brake, and he could not take his foot off, and after a runaway It will cause a big accident in a moment.
This abominable misstepping event is not limited to the elderly as it is said, as long as the pedaling operation with only the right foot of the accelerator and brake continues, regardless of age and gender, anytime, anywhere. However, it seems to be an eternal issue that can occur to anyone.
今回の発明は、この踏み間違いを確実に無くすために発想を大きく逆転し、通常、運転席に向かって足元右端付近に設置されたアクセルペダルを、正反対の左側で、且つ左足でペダル操作をするのに適した位置に設置し、又、一方のブレーキペダルは、足元中央部から右側にかけた部分の、右足でブレーキ操作をするのに適した位置に設置することとし、ペダル同士の間に互いに干渉のない、一定の距離を置いた安全な設計構造とする。
このアクセルペダルは、運転者の左足のみでの専用操作とし、一方のブレーキは、右足での専用操作を担当することになり、両ペダルは、互いに距離を置いたうえに、左右独立した運転者の両足に分担操作させることにより、格段の安全性を確保することが出来、恐れた踏み間違いによる事故を完全に駆逐すると共に、安全な車社会の実現に少なからず寄与出来るものと確信する。
尚これにより、エンジン側からのスロットルワイヤー等のとり回しは、これまでの右方から左方のアクセルペダルに接続されることになる。
更に、これに伴ってこれまで運転席の足元左端に装備された足踏み式パーキングブレーキは、現在あるハンドブレーキ式若しくは電磁式ブレーキとする事等で解決される。In this invention, the idea is largely reversed in order to surely eliminate this mistake in stepping, and the accelerator pedal, which is usually installed near the right end of the foot toward the driver's seat, is operated on the opposite left side and with the left foot. One of the brake pedals should be installed in a position suitable for braking with the right foot in the part from the center of the foot to the right side, and the brake pedals should be installed between the pedals. A safe design structure with no interference and a certain distance.
This accelerator pedal will be operated exclusively by the driver's left foot, and one brake will be in charge of the dedicated operation by the right foot, and both pedals will be separated from each other and the left and right drivers will be independent. I am convinced that by having both feet share the operation, it is possible to ensure extraordinary safety, completely eliminate accidents caused by feared missteps, and contribute to the realization of a safe car society.
As a result, the throttle wire and the like from the engine side will be connected to the accelerator pedal from the right side to the left side.
Further, along with this, the foot-operated parking brake that has been installed at the left end of the driver's foot is replaced with the existing handbrake type or electromagnetic type brake.
この発明の、アクセルを左に設置しての左足による操作や、右足でのブレーキ操作などは、これ迄考えられたこともなく奇異に感じられる向きもあるかと思われるが、左足はすでに、マニアル車のクラッチ操作でも専用されているところであり、左足でのアクセル操作においても、誰にでも直ぐに慣れて自然な操作走行が可能となり、なんら支障は生じないものと考える。
万が一の左足による操作ミスがあったとして考えられることは、個人差にもよるが、段差等の場所での踏み込み過多等と思われるが、そんな場合でも、これまでの習い性からの本能的なブレーキ操作で咄嗟に態勢を立て直す等、誰にでも簡単に対処出来ると思われ、これに伴う軽度の事故が多少見られるとしても、前述の様な踏み間違いによる様な大事故に発展する要素はほとんど無いことが伺える。
それ故このアクセル、ブレーキの左右分離した配置、構造と、運転者の左右の足による分離操作に広く切り替われば、踏み間違いによる悲惨な重大事故は、永遠に皆無となるものと信じる。
この効果は大きく、誰れもが何れ通る道となる「高齢者」にあっては、この踏み間違いなどに起因する事故の報道のたびに、等しく言い知れぬ重圧を感じているところで、踏み間違いの事故だけでも無くすことが出来れば、高齢者に限らず、全ての人に朗報となる事が期待される。In the present invention, the operation with the left foot with the accelerator installed on the left and the brake operation with the right foot may seem strange to some people, but the left foot is already manual. It is also dedicated to the clutch operation of cars, and even when the accelerator is operated with the left foot, anyone can quickly get used to it and run naturally, and it is thought that there will be no problem.
It is possible that there was an operation error due to the left foot, although it depends on individual differences, it seems that there is too much stepping on a step or the like, but even in such a case, it is instinctively based on the habits so far. It seems that anyone can easily deal with it, such as regaining the posture by operating the brakes, and even if there are some minor accidents associated with this, the factors that develop into a major accident such as the above-mentioned misstepping are It can be seen that there is almost no such thing.
Therefore, if we switch widely between the accelerator and brake left-right separated arrangement and structure, and the driver's left-right foot separation operation, we believe that there will be no serious accidents caused by misstepping forever.
This effect is great, and for "elderly people" who will eventually take the path, every time they report an accident caused by this mistake, they feel the same indescribable pressure. If we can eliminate the accident, it is expected to be good news for everyone, not just the elderly.
以下、本発明を実施するための形態について説明する。
運転席に向かって左側の足元左端付近で、左足によるアクセル操作をするのに適した位置に、エンジンのアクセル装置に連動した（１）のアクセルペダルを設置する。
