  The plate-shaped portions of the brake pedal upper surface pressing portion 110, the brake pedal lower surface pressing portion 120, and the downward extending portion 130 are formed by bending a steel plate having a thickness of, for example, about 2.3 mm.

  The brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111 of the brake pedal upper surface pressing portion 110 is formed of a plate material having a rectangular shape in plan view, and is formed by gently bending the lower surface so as to be entirely in contact with the upper surface of the brake pedal 90. ing.

  As viewed from the front side of the brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111, that is, the state in which the auxiliary device 10 for suppressing serious accident occurrence of an automatic vehicle is attached to the brake pedal 90 and the accelerator pedal 50 of the vehicle, the lower side along the driver's seat side edge ( It has a near-side bent portion 112 bent toward the floor panel side of the automobile).

  The front side bent portion 112 may be formed by projecting a part of the brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111 with a constant width in advance from an elongated plate material corresponding to FIG. It may be formed by welding.

  The amount of bending of the near side bent portion 112, that is, the length in the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) shown in FIG. 1 is a length that is firmly hooked on the edge of the near side portion of the brake pedal 90, and the short side shown in FIG. The length in the direction (vertical direction) is a length corresponding to the thickness of the brake pedal 90.

  Further, one side edge of the brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111, that is, the auxiliary device 10 for suppressing serious accident occurrence of an automatic vehicle is attached to the brake pedal 90 and the accelerator pedal 50 of the vehicle. A side bent portion 113 is provided on the side bent downward (toward the floor panel side of the vehicle) over the entire opposite edge portion. Note that, similarly to the front side bent 112, the side bent part 113 may be formed by projecting a part in advance with a certain width and folding the projected part, or by forming an elongated plate material corresponding to FIG. The brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111 may be attached by welding along the edge thereof.

  The amount of bending of the side bent portion 113 is such that the length in the longitudinal direction (lateral direction) is firmly hooked to the edge of the side portion of the brake pedal 90 opposite to the accelerator pedal 50, and FIG. Is the length corresponding to the thickness of the brake pedal 90.

  An engagement slit 114 having a predetermined width in the longitudinal direction is formed in the side bent portion 113 so as to be separated in parallel with a bent portion with the brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111 or a welded portion.

  The brake pedal lower surface side holding portion 120 is made of the above-described thick plate material, and is made of an elongated plate-like member having an inverted L-shape in a front view.

  In FIG. 1, the brake pedal lower surface holding plate 121 is arranged so that the brake pedal lower surface pressing plate 121 is disposed so as to face the brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111 in the attached state. It comprises a downwardly extending portion 130 extending vertically downward.

  The upper surface of the brake pedal lower surface pressing plate 121 has a constant length in the longitudinal direction, and is formed from a central portion in the width direction toward both ends in the width direction, that is, a so-called semi-cylindrical elasticity. The bulge 127 is firmly attached.

  The elastic body bulging portion 127 is formed of a foam material having high elasticity and durability, and is provided between the elastic body bulging portion 127 of the brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111 and the brake pedal lower surface pressing plate 121 in the attached state. , So that the brake pedal 90 is firmly held therebetween.

  The fastening portion 133 extending downward from the brake pedal lower surface side holding portion 120 is formed with a fixing long hole 131 having a predetermined length at the center in the width direction over the longitudinal direction. The fixing long hole 131 cooperates with a fixing round hole 331 of the connecting portion 300 to be described later, and the screw portion of the fixing bolt 401 is penetrated into this portion, and is tightened by the washer 402 and the nut 403 to hold the upper surface of the brake pedal. It plays a role of firmly fixing the brake pedal lower surface side holding portion 120 to the portion 110.

  An engagement tongue 125 having a predetermined width is formed so as to protrude from an end of the brake pedal lower surface pressing portion 120 opposite to the coupling fixing portion 123 of the brake pedal lower surface pressing plate 121 in the longitudinal direction.

  The engagement tongue 125 enters the engagement slit 114 formed in the side bent portion 113 of the upper surface pressing portion 110 to reduce the distance between the brake pedal upper surface pressing portion 110 and the brake pedal lower surface pressing portion 120 at this portion. A predetermined interval is maintained.

  The accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200 is formed, for example, by bending a steel plate having a thickness of about 2.3 mm, and is formed of a plate-like body facing the lower surface of the accelerator pedal 50, and a predetermined amount of which is arranged to face a predetermined amount. When the accelerator pedal 50 is depressed, the lower surface of the accelerator pedal 50 is pressed against the upper surface of the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200.

  The accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200 includes an elongated rectangular accelerator pedal lower surface contact portion 201, and an accelerator pedal side upright portion 202 slightly protruding upward in FIG. 1 from one longitudinal end of the accelerator pedal lower surface contact portion 201. have. The accelerator pedal lower surface contact portion 201 is fixed to the back side of the accelerator pedal 50 at a predetermined distance in a state in which the auxiliary device 10 for preventing serious accident occurrence of the automatic vehicle is fixed to the brake pedal 90 and the accelerator pedal 50 is not depressed. (Refer to the accelerator pedal at the position of reference symbol A in FIG. 3).

  Then, when the driver exceeds the depression amount of the accelerator pedal 50 which is depressed within the safe driving range during normal driving, the back surface 51 of the accelerator pedal 50 (see FIG. 3) is placed on the upper surface of the accelerator pedal lower surface contact portion 201. 3 (see the accelerator pedal at the position B in FIG. 3), so that the accelerator pedal lower surface contact portion 201 is pressed downward and moves toward the floor panel in response to further depression of the accelerator pedal 50. Has become.

  That is, when the elderly people who have recently become a social problem misstep the brake pedal 90 and the accelerator pedal 50 and think that the sudden braking has been applied, the accelerator pedal 50 is accidentally depressed. Of the accelerator pedal reaches the upper surface of the lower surface contact portion 201 of the accelerator pedal and pushes the same.

  The accelerator pedal side upright portion 202 provided at the end of the accelerator pedal lower surface contact portion 201 serves to position the accelerator pedal 50 below the accelerator pedal 50 and to maintain the rigidity of the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200. Plays.

  It should be noted that the accelerator pedal side upright portion 202 is caught by the accelerator pedal itself and returned by the accelerator pedal 50 regardless of whether the accelerator pedal 50 is depressed by a normal operation or accidentally depressed too much with the brake pedal 90. Is formed so as not to hinder

  The connecting portion 300 extends from a portion of the brake pedal fixing portion 100 toward a portion of the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200, and the brake pedal 90 is moved when the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200 is moved by the accelerator pedal 50. The brake pedal fixing part 100 plays a role of interlocking in the direction of stepping on the brake pedal.

  That is, the accelerator pedal 50 is erroneously depressed in place of the brake pedal 90, and the accelerator pedal 50 is depressed from the position A to the position B shown in FIG. 3, and the accelerator pedal 50 is further depressed toward the floor panel. At the same time, this depressing force is instantaneously transmitted to the brake pedal fixing portion 100 via the connecting portion 300, and the brake pedal fixing portion 100 automatically moves the brake 90 in the depressing direction even if the driver does not depress the brake pedal 90 at all. And the brake 90 of the automobile is simultaneously operated.

  A round hole 331 for fixing is formed in the connecting portion 300. The fixing round hole 331 is provided in the lower extending portion 130 extending downward from one end of the brake pedal lower surface side pressing portion 120 when fixing the brake pedal lower surface side pressing portion 120 to the brake pedal upper surface side pressing portion 110. The screw portion of the fixing bolt 401 matches with the fixing long hole 131, and can be tightened by the washer 402 and the nut 403 through the holes 131 and 331.

  Hereinafter, an example of a method of attaching the auxiliary device for suppressing occurrence of a serious accident of the automatic vehicle to the brake pedal 90 and the accelerator pedal 50 according to the present invention will be described. First, the upper surface of the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200 is positioned below the accelerator pedal 50 with a predetermined interval, and the brake pedal upper surface pressing plate 111 of the brake pedal fixing portion 100 abuts on the upper surface of the brake pedal 90. Let it.

  Next, while pressing the semicylindrical elastic bulging portion 127 provided on the upper surface of the brake pedal lower surface pressing plate 121 against the lower surface 92 of the brake pedal 90, the engaging tongue 125 of the brake pedal lower surface pressing portion 120 is moved to the upper surface of the brake pedal. The holding plate 111 is fitted into an engagement slip 114 formed in a side bent portion 113 of the holding plate 111.

  Then, the lower extending portion 130 connected to the brake pedal lower surface pressing plate 121 is overlapped on the surface facing the lower extending portion 130. At this time, the positioning is performed such that the fixing long hole 131 of the downward extending portion 130 and the fixing round hole 331 of the connecting portion 300 partially match, and a through hole is formed at that portion. Then, the male screw portion of the fixing bolt 401 is inserted into the through hole, and this portion is firmly fastened and fixed by the washer 402 and the nut 403.

  After the installation, for example, the accelerator pedal 50 is actually depressed without receiving the engine. When the accelerator pedal 50 is excessively depressed, the lower surface of the accelerator pedal 50 is pressed against the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200 and the connecting portion 300 It is confirmed that the brake pedal fixing unit 100 moves in the direction in which the brake pedal 90 is depressed in conjunction therewith.

  The timing of actuating the brake by interlocking the brake pedal 90 due to the wrong pedaling of the accelerator pedal 50 is adjusted according to the mounting arrangement of the accelerator pedal 50 and the brake pedal 90 of the vehicle to be mounted. At this time, both the fixing long hole 131 formed in the downward extending portion 130 of the brake pedal lower surface side pressing portion 120 and the fixing round hole 331 formed in the connecting portion 300 are both passed through and fixed. The fixing work is performed while adjusting the fastening positions of the bolts 401, washers 402, and nuts 403 to the optimum positions.

  Specifically, the position where the accelerator pedal 50 is not depressed is set to the position A shown in FIG. 3. If the accelerator pedal 50 is erroneously depressed instead of depressing the brake pedal 90, and the accelerator pedal 50 is further depressed, a dangerous state may occur. If the accelerator pedal 50 is depressed to the position B shown in FIG. 3 when the accelerator pedal 50 is depressed to the position B, the lower surface of the accelerator pedal 50 is pressed against the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion 200 at the same time. Attachment of the auxiliary device 10 for preventing a serious accident of an automatic vehicle to the brake pedal 90 while adjusting the brake pedal fixing portion 100 to move in the direction in which the brake pedal 90 is depressed in conjunction with the connection portion 300. Do.

  In this manner, both the fixing long hole 131 formed in the lower extending portion 130 of the brake pedal lower surface side holding portion 120 and the fixing round hole 331 formed in the connecting portion 300 are both fixed to fasten them. By performing the fixing work while adjusting the fastening positions of the bolts 401, washers 402, and nuts 403 to the optimum positions, various adjustments are made according to the difference in the depressed position (height) of the accelerator pedal 50 and the brake pedal 90. It becomes possible to attach the auxiliary device 10 for suppressing the occurrence of a serious accident of an automatic vehicle according to the present invention to a vehicle.

  By fixing the brake pedal fixing part 100 and the accelerator pedal depression receiving part 200 to the accelerator pedal 50 and the brake pedal 90 in the optimum arrangement as described above, even if the elderly mistakenly depress the brake and the accelerator, it accelerates only for a short time. After that, the sudden braking activates and the car does not accelerate suddenly, so the driver can turn forward due to the law of inertia and be surprised at the abnormal behavior of this car and notice that the brake and the accelerator are mistakenly depressed .

  Specifically, when the driver steps on the accelerator pedal 50 by mistake instead of the brake pedal 90, the accelerator pedal 50 is depressed from the position A to the position B shown in FIG. When the accelerator pedal 50 is about to be depressed, the depressing force is transmitted to the brake pedal fixing part 100 via the connecting part 300, and the brake pedal fixing part 100 can be braked even if the driver does not depress the brake pedal 90 at all. The brake 90 of the vehicle is simultaneously actuated by automatically pressing in the direction of operation 90. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which only the accelerator pedal 50 is kept depressed and the vehicle is suddenly accelerated to cause a serious accident.

  That is, when the auxiliary device 10 for suppressing occurrence of a serious accident of the automatic vehicle according to the present embodiment operates properly, only the accelerator pedal lever 55 shown in FIG. 3 is not pushed into the floor panel, but in accordance with this. The driver forcibly moves to the front of the vehicle around the rotation fulcrum 99 provided at the upper end of the brake pedal lever 95 shown in FIG. As a result, the brake link shaft 96 provided on the brake pedal lever 95 is pushed into the floor panel, so that the brake mechanism of the vehicle can be instantaneously and reliably operated without requiring any operation by the driver's foot.

  Further, according to the present invention, in response to such missteps of the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, the brake pedal 90 of the automobile is simultaneously simulated at the moment when the accelerator pedal 50 is depressed to the position B shown in FIG. As soon as the vehicle starts to accelerate suddenly, the brake is actuated and the acceleration is weakened and decelerated, so that the driver suddenly enters a so-called forward turning state.

  Such an unusual behavior of the vehicle allows the driver to be surprised and to momentarily retract the foot that has depressed the accelerator and then step on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle on the spot.

  As described above, according to the assist device for preventing a serious accident of an automatic vehicle according to the present invention, when an elderly person mistakenly depresses the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, the elderly person depresses the brake pedal even though he / she depresses the brake pedal. A fall into a kind of so-called psychological trance state, which mistakenly believes that the brakes are failing and accelerating, can be awakened to a normal state of consciousness.

  That is, due to a change in behavior that is usually impossible during driving of a car based on suddenly stopping or decelerating from sudden acceleration of the car, it is completely assumed that it is a malfunction of the car without noticing such mistaken operation at all. It is very useful for regaining the ability to make a correct decision during normal driving from a state of falling into a psychologically incorrect transformer state that has been mistakenly believed.

  In this way, by attaching the auxiliary device for preventing serious accident occurrence of the automatic vehicle according to the present invention to the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal of the vehicle, all the problems described in the above-mentioned problem to be solved of the present invention can be solved. be able to.

  This makes it possible to keep the cost down with an extremely simple structure and to easily attach it to an automatic car. It is possible to prevent accidents.

  More specifically, since the auxiliary device for preventing a serious accident of an automatic vehicle according to the present invention has a very simple configuration, it can be attached to an automobile brake pedal and an accelerator pedal without incurring a conventional cost. Can be removed or removed.

  In other words, the purchase cost is low, and the driver and his / her family can attach and remove the vehicle by itself when installing or removing, so there is no need to request the installation from a car repair shop or dealer, and the installation cost does not increase. In addition, since the vehicle cannot be driven for a while due to the mounting, the vehicle cannot be used for daily shopping or when going to a hospital when feeling unwell.

  In addition, there is no need to remove and reattach the vehicle to a car repair shop or a dealer at the time of vehicle inspection, and re-attach the vehicle after vehicle inspection. This eliminates unnecessary work costs and eliminates a period during which the vehicle cannot be driven.

  Especially for elderly people living in rural areas, it is common for automobiles to be a foothold in their lives.For example, elderly people drive their cars themselves and regularly visit hospitals for medical treatment or treat illness. The effect is very large.

  As described above, the embodiment of the auxiliary device for suppressing a serious accident of an automatic vehicle according to the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but is within a range in which the effects of the present invention can be exhibited. It goes without saying that the shape, size and material can be changed.

  For example, the following can be considered as forms different from the above-described embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, in place of the so-called semicylindrical bulging portion provided in the lower portion of the brake pedal, an elastic pad for sandwiching the brake pedal having a sufficient elasticity is attached to the upper surface. Is also good.

  In addition, since the arrangement relationship between the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal varies depending on the type of automobile, for example, the distance between the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion and the back surface of the accelerator pedal is set to some extent, and the distance between the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion and the upper surface of the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion is increased. Prepare a spacer made of hard and strong material of various thicknesses, and set the distance between the pedals of each vehicle appropriate to prevent accidents caused by accidental depression of the brake pedal and accelerator pedal of the vehicle. In addition, a spacer having an appropriate thickness may be selected and firmly attached to the upper surface of the accelerator pedal depression receiving portion, or may be fixed with an appropriate fastener such as a screw.

  Finally, the following forms are considered as an extension of the above-described embodiment and belong to the scope of the present invention, and will be described. For example, the effects of the present invention are further enhanced by additionally providing various sensors, lighting equipment, speakers, and the like.

  Specifically, a sensor is provided for detecting that the accelerator pedal has come into contact with the receiving portion of the accelerator pedal.For example, when this contact state continues for a predetermined time of, for example, several seconds, it is determined that the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are erroneously depressed. If an accelerometer is installed at an appropriate place in the car to detect a rapid acceleration for several seconds, it is determined that the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are wrongly depressed, and the signal is instantaneously output. For example, a mode in which the emergency red LED is turned on or blinked at several places to the extent that it does not obstruct the driver's field of vision in front of or sideways may be considered as an example.

  On the other hand, a speaker may be provided in place of such lighting or blinking of the light, and a warning buzzer for indicating that the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are depressed incorrectly may be sounded or a sound may be played to prevent mistaken depression. .

  In this case, in addition to the determined sound, a sound recorded by the driver himself or his family, for example, as a sound file may be played from a speaker via a memory medium. As an example, if the elderly driver is a male driver, the voice of the spouse's wife's alert (such as "You, wrong stepping on the brake and accelerator!") Can be recorded as a male As an elderly person, he can suddenly hear the sound of a cheerful (vigorous) wife who does not always raise his head, and at the same time, instinctively instantly recognize his own operation mistakes.

  In the above-described configuration, the effect can be further enhanced by alerting the user of a mistake in depressing the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal by using not only a warning light and a warning sound but also a combination thereof.

  By sounding a specific person's voice in an emergency as described above, for example, as described above, at the moment when an elderly man mistakenly depresses the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal while driving, a cheerful (vigorous) wife When the voice recorded by the alert is suddenly flowing from the speaker, the whole body contracts and the legs shrink, which causes the legs to separate from the accelerator pedal and instantly prevent dangerous acceleration due to depression of the accelerator pedal. The next effect can also be expected.

  The contact sensor and the acceleration sensor described above, a control device that determines whether the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are depressed incorrectly based on the output of these sensors, a vehicle-mounted LED lighting device or a speaker that informs a driver of an abnormal driving state provided in the vehicle, and A memory device and the like linked with the control device can be easily mounted at low cost similarly to the in-vehicle accessories such as a drive recorder and a car navigation which are usually retrofitted in the vehicle.

  As described above, according to the automatic vehicle (automatic vehicle) auxiliary device for suppressing the occurrence of a serious accident according to the present invention, the economical burden is reduced, and the period during which the vehicle cannot be driven due to attachment / removal is eliminated. For elderly people who are indispensable, it can help to prevent the occurrence of serious accidents caused by misapplication of the brake pedal and accelerator pedal.
