[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention allows a driver seated in a driver's seat provided in a vehicle compartment to change the positions of the driver's seat and operating pedals such as an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal. Thus, the present invention relates to a vehicle driving posture control device capable of adjusting the driving posture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A driver's seat provided in a passenger compartment of a vehicle is desired to allow a driver sitting on the seat to stably maintain an appropriate driving posture. Such an appropriate driving posture for the driver sitting on the driver's seat means that the occupant's eye point is the front view of the vehicle, the rear view of the vehicle obtained through the rearview mirror, and the left and right fender mirrors. Alternatively, the occupant's limbs can be operated and steered with the limbs of the occupant being placed at an appropriate position where the field of view such as the left and right lateral views of the vehicle obtained through the door mirror can be easily and reliably obtained. To easily and smoothly operate various operating parts such as columns, dashboards, consoles, shift levers, hand brakes, and accelerator pedals and brake pedals. This is a posture that enables the operation of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and other operation pedals. It is important to obtain.

The driver's seat is usually supported by a slide mechanism including a rail fixed to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle on a vehicle body floor in a vehicle compartment, and is provided in the slide mechanism. By operating an operating member such as the operating lever, the slide mechanism is moved in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and thereby the arrangement position is adjusted. Therefore, the driver sitting on the driver's seat, depending on his own physique,
The arrangement position of the driver's seat is mainly adjusted so that the operation pedal can be operated without difficulty and reliably. However, even in the driver's seat in which the arrangement position of the vehicle in the front-rear direction can be adjusted as described above,
The adjustment range is naturally limited within a certain range due to the positional relationship with each part in the vehicle interior, and therefore, the position of the driver's seat and the adjustment range are usually the average physique and the relative size thereof. The occupants having a close physical structure are assumed and set.

Therefore, when the driver seated on the driver's seat has a physique that is far from the average physique or a physique relatively close to the average physique, the position of the driver seat is adjusted to be appropriate. There is a possibility that it may be difficult to take a desired driving posture that can obtain a proper eye point position.

In order to alleviate some of the inconveniences associated with the driver's seat capable of adjusting the arrangement position of the vehicle in the front-rear direction, not only the arrangement position adjustment of the vehicle in the front-rear direction but also the vertical movement of the vehicle There is also known a driver's seat capable of adjusting the arrangement position in the direction. According to the driver's seat in which the arrangement position can be adjusted in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction of the vehicle, the possibility that the driver seated on the seat can place the eyepoint at an appropriate position Is expanded, but the accelerator pedal,
From the viewpoint of whether or not a driving posture in which the operation pedals such as the brake pedal can be operated reliably and reliably can be taken, it is difficult to say that effective improvement can be achieved.

Further, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-34254, operation pedals such as an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal are used, and the length of the foot of the driver seated on the driver's seat is adjusted. It is known that the vehicle is configured to move in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the arrangement position can be adjusted. In a vehicle equipped with an operation pedal capable of adjusting the arrangement position, by adjusting the operation pedal within a predetermined adjustment range, the driver seated on the driver's seat can adjust the eye point. It is possible to make the operation pedal take an arrangement position where the operation can be easily performed without changing the position.

[0007]

However, as described above, the driver's seat and the operation pedals arranged in front of the driver's seat are separately provided in predetermined directions in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction of the vehicle. When it is possible to move within the adjustment range and each placement position is adjusted, the proper eye point position for the driver sitting on the driver's seat can be obtained, and the driving seated on the driver's seat can be obtained. When the posture is adjusted so that the driver can operate the operation pedal in a desired driving posture without difficulty, for example, first, the position of the driver's seat is adjusted in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction. After that, it is necessary to further adjust the arrangement position of the operation pedal in the front-back direction and the up-down direction. Therefore, the driver who sits on the driver's seat is subject to complicated and troublesome adjustment work each time.

Further, the operation pedals such as the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal are, at each disposition position, a non-depressing operation position which is taken without any depression operation and a maximum depression operation position which is taken with a maximum depression operation. It is assumed that a stepping operation amount that changes between and is taken. Therefore, when adjusting the placement position of the operation pedal, the placement position of the operation pedal may not be properly adjusted unless the operation amount of the operation pedal is depressed at that time. Adjustment is required in accordance with the operation amount, which makes the adjustment work even more complicated.

According to the present invention, it is possible to extremely easily and easily perform the posture adjustment for taking a driving posture in which the driver who sits on the driver's seat can operate the operation pedal with a proper eyepoint position without difficulty. An object of the present invention is to provide a driving attitude control device for a vehicle that can be used.

Therefore, the brake pedal 8 swings integrally with the brake pedal holding member 53 by the stepping operation by the driver seated on the driver's seat 4 to take the stepping operation position corresponding to the stepping operation state (see FIG. Brake device 54 is operated.

In the brake pedal movable support means 51 thus constructed, when the drive motor 15 is rotated by the operation of the operation switch 22, the rotation thereof is the first power transmission cable 23A and the intermediate gear box. 24
And the third power transmission cable 23C, and is transmitted to the gear box 58, whereby the screw shaft member 57 is rotationally driven. When the screw shaft member 57 is rotationally driven, the brake pedal 8 (pedal arm portion 8a) having a screw hole into which the screw shaft member 57 is screwed is formed with respect to the brake pedal holding member 53 with respect to the rail portion 55, The vehicle 1 is moved in the front-rear direction along 55, 56, 56. At that time, the moving direction of the pedal arm portion 8a is determined according to the rotation direction (forward rotation direction or reverse rotation direction) of the screw shaft member 57, and the moving range thereof is limited to a certain range, and the accelerator pedal It is made to move in synchronization with the movement of 7.

In this way, the drive motor 15 is rotated so that the arrangement position of the brake pedal 8 held by the brake pedal holding member 53 is within the movable range of the brake pedal holding member 53. It will be moved in the direction.

Therefore, the accelerator pedal 7 and the brake pedal 8 are configured to move synchronously in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by the drive of the drive motor 15, and the movement of these pedals 7 and 8 and the driver The movement of the passenger seat 4 means that when the passenger standard model is seated on the driver's seat 4, the eye point of the passenger standard model is placed at an appropriate position and the passenger standard model corresponds to an appropriate driving posture. The power transmission cables 23A to 23C (coupling means) are mechanically linked to each other so as to be able to assume the posture (see FIG. 11). As long as the operation switch 22 provided on the side portion of the seat cushion portion 4A is closed, the driving of the drive motor 15 is maintained, so that the driver operates at the time when the driver reaches the desired arrangement position. It is necessary to stop the drive motor 15 by opening the switch 22.

More specifically, the fact that “the occupant standard model eyepoint can be placed at a proper position and the occupant standard model can assume a proper driving posture” will be described in more detail.

This corresponds to the case where the passenger is seated and the passenger standard model D is seated on the driver seat 4.

In the above embodiment, the single drive motor 15 is arranged below the seat cushion portion 4A of the driver's seat 4, but as shown in FIG. The noise of the motor can be reduced by disposing it in the tunnel portion 3a extending in the vehicle front-rear direction of the floor 3.

That is, the tunnel portion 3a in which the exhaust pipe 63 having the catalyst 61 and the pre-silencer 62 is arranged.
A single drive motor 64 is attached and fixed to the lower wall portion (inner wall portion) together with a gear unit 65 for distributing power to the pedals 7 and 8 side. The end of the power transmission cable 66A that is directly driven to rotate by the drive motor 64 is

67 is a mounting member for mounting the gear unit 65.

The driving force of the drive motor 64 is distributed to the power transmission cables 66B and 66C for transmitting power to the pedals 7 and 8 by the gear unit 65 arranged adjacent to the drive motor 64. Is configured.

Further, the drive motors 15 and 64 are not provided near the seat as in the above-described embodiment, but the drive motors 71A and 71B are provided on the pedals 7 and 8 side as shown in FIG.
The drive motors 71A and 71B can be used to adjust not only the pedestals 7 and 8 but also the arrangement position of the seat 4.

That is, for example, in the accelerator pedal 7, the drive motor 71A is assembled below the gear box 58A (see FIG. 14), and the motor shaft (not shown) of the drive motor 71A in the gear box 39A is The drive motor 71A is directly linked to the screw shaft member 38 for adjusting the position of the accelerator pedal 7.
Is configured to directly drive the screw shaft member 38. Also, on the brake pedal 8 side, similarly,
The screw shaft member 57 is directly driven by the drive motor 71B via the gear box 58A.

The drive motors 71A and 71B are controlled by the control means 7
2 and is driven and controlled by the control means 72. In addition, the drive motors 71A and 71B together with the screw shaft members 38 and 57 together with the power transmission cable 23
B and 23C are also rotationally driven, and the driving forces of these cables 23B and 23C are combined in the intermediate gear box 24 to drive the screw shaft members 17R and 17L on the driver's seat 4 side to the gear box 21. It is configured to be transmitted to the power transmission cable 23A that is to be rotated. In this example, since the motor is not arranged below the driver's seat 4, unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the screw shaft member 17R has a screw shaft member extending in the left-right direction at the front end thereof. A gear box 74 for transmitting power to 73 is provided.
The other end of the screw shaft member 73 is linked to the front end of the screw shaft member 17L via a gear box 75.

Position sensors 76A and 76B are linked to the pedals 7 and 8, respectively.

The detection bracket 7 is provided before and after the brake pedal holding member 53.
7, 78 are arranged, and the limit switch 79 that moves together with the pedal 7 comes into contact with them to detect them, and it is detected that the brake pedal 8 has reached the front end position or the rear end position. It is configured to be initialized once. That is, the relative position of the brake pedal 8 with respect to the reference position is detected by the detection output signal which is initialized by the limit switch 79 and is sent from the position sensor 76A. Second Embodiment In this embodiment, an assist motor or assist damper (air spring) that bears pedal drive and friction of a power transmission cable is provided in addition to a drive motor that bears main power.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 16 is basically the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 except that an assist motor is provided, and the seat cushion portion of the driver seat 4 is provided. 4B Drive motor 1 which bears the main power on the lower side
5 is provided, and the gear box 21 is provided at the rear end of the screw shaft member 17R that is rotationally driven by the drive motor 15.
The power transmission cable 23A is linked to the gear box 21 via the first assist motor 81 (see FIG. 17), and the power is transmitted to the pedals 7 and 8 by the first assist motor 81. Power transmission cable 23A
Is driven to assist rotation. In addition, the second assist motor 82 is provided in the middle of the power transmission cable 23A.
However, third and fourth assist motors 83 and 84 are provided for the pedals 7 and 8, respectively. The first to fourth assist motors 81 to 84 are designed to rotate synchronously with the drive motor 15.

The first and second assist motors 81 and 8
2 bears the friction of the power transmission cables 23A to 23C, and in particular, since the first assist motor 81 is provided on the side of the seat 4 having the largest load sharing, the change of the load (passenger weight) By sheet 4
Even if the moving speed of changes, the moving speeds of the pedals 7 and 8 can be prevented from following the moving speeds. Further, since the drive motor 15 alone is likely to cause a synchronization deviation between the seat 4 and the pedals 7 and 8 due to friction of the cable 23A, the second assist motor 82 can assist at an intermediate position where the friction is borne. Furthermore, the third and fourth assist motors 83, 8
Since the movement of the beds 7 and 8 can be directly assisted by 4, the synchronization delay due to the twist of the cables 23B and 23C does not occur. Further, the pedals 7 and 8 can be finely adjusted by the power of the assist motors 83 and 84 within the allowable range of the twist of the cables 23B and 23C. The first to fourth assist motors 81 to 84 do not necessarily have to be provided at all, and may be omitted if necessary.

In the above embodiment, the assist motor 81 is provided below the seat 4 as the assisting means, but an assist damper may be used instead of the assist motor.

That is, as shown in FIG. 18, for example, an assist damper 87 is interposed between a seat frame 85 of the seat cushion portion 4B and a mounting bracket 86 provided on the floor side between the lower rails 11L and 11R. The assist damper 87 assists the driving force required for the forward movement of the seat cushion portion 4B, and gives the assist force so as to damp the backward force caused by the seat load at the time of backward movement. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the piston rod 89 of the assist damper 89 is attached to the bracket 88 protruding from the upper rail 12L.
The base end of the damper body 89b of the assist damper 89 may be connected to the bracket 90 protruding from the lower rail 11L.

By the way, the load of the drive motor 15 is greatly different between the forward movement and the backward movement of the seat due to gravity, and the sliding speed is different. Therefore, the driver's seat 4 using the assist dampers 87 and 89 as described above is used. It is possible to adjust the speed difference of the slide speed by controlling the tilt movement of the. That is, the assist dampers 87 and 89 tend to apply an assist force in the forward direction to accelerate the speed when the seat moves forward, while providing a resistance force in the forward direction to exhibit a damping action when the seat moves backward. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the speed, thereby reducing the speed difference between the slide speeds.

In the above embodiment, the assist means is provided on the seat side. However, in an automatic vehicle in which the driver often puts his / her foot on the brake pedal 8 to adjust the pedal arrangement position, the brake pedal 8 When adjusting the placement position, resistance to the foot load is applied to the movement in the rear direction of the vehicle, and conversely, a force assisted by the foot load is applied to the movement in the front direction of the vehicle. Since the driving speed is different in the front-rear direction and there is a possibility that a synchronism shift may occur between the accelerator pedal 7 and the movement of the seat cushion portion 4B, in order to eliminate such a problem, as shown in FIG. On the operation pedal side, specifically, on the brake pedal 8 side, the assist damper 9
It is also possible to provide 1.

In this way, the assist force by the assist damper 91 provided for the brake pedal 8 is used as a drive assist force when moving in the rearward direction of the vehicle and is reversed when moving in the frontward direction of the vehicle. It will be able to act as a damping force to, cancel the driver's foot load,
The drive speed can be kept constant. <Embodiment 3> In this embodiment, the seat 4 is arranged by the drive motor 15
