The operation plate 41 can be fixed to the pedal support member 42 at an arbitrary angle by tightening the bolts 44a and 44b and the nuts 45a and 45b. As described above, since the operation plate 41 can be fixed at an arbitrary angle, it can be adjusted to an angle at which it is easy to drive even if the automobile driving assist pedal 1 is attached to various vehicles having different shapes of the feet of the driver's seat. You can drive with no attitude.

  In the present embodiment, the “angle adjusting unit” in the present invention corresponds to the clamping unit 43.

  Next, the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 and the accelerator pedal pressing member 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. The accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 includes a square pipe 51 made of stainless steel or the like, and a square bar 52 that is slidably inserted inside the square pipe 51 and fixed with screws at a predetermined position. The accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 has a lower end welded and fixed near the right end of the torque transmission shaft 3 so as to be substantially orthogonal to the torque transmission shaft 3, and a distal end disposed near the stepping surface Af of the accelerator pedal A. Yes. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the square bar 52 is slid along the square pipe 51 to extend or shorten the total length of the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5, so that the accelerator pedal A can be changed depending on the manufacturer and the vehicle type of the automobile. Even when the height position of the stepping surface Af is different, the front end portion of the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 can be arranged in the vicinity of the stepping surface Af of the accelerator pedal A according to this.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the accelerator pedal pressing member 6 includes four rollers 61 arranged in the vertical direction of the stepping surface Af of the accelerator pedal A, and the four rollers 61 rotatably and an accelerator. And a roller support member 62 rotatably attached to the vicinity of the front end of the pedal pressing lever 5. The roller support member 62 is made of stainless steel or the like, and includes a support portion 62a for supporting the roller 61, and an attachment portion 62b that protrudes from the center in the longitudinal direction of the support portion 62a and is attached near the tip of the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5. , And a support shaft insertion hole 62c is formed through the support portion 62a and the attachment portion 62b. Then, the support bolt 63 is inserted into the support shaft insertion hole 62c provided near the tip of the square bar 52 of the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 and the roller support member 62, and the support nut 60 is fastened to support the roller. The member 62 is rotatably installed on the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5. On the other hand, the roller 61 is configured by a substantially cylindrical roller body 61a made of resin or the like provided rotatably around a bearing 61b. The roller 61 has a bearing 61b fixed to the roller support member 62 with screws or the like.

  The accelerator pedal pressing member 6 includes four rollers as shown in FIG. 7 by adjusting the mounting position of the automobile driving assist pedal 1 and the length of the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 according to the position of the accelerator pedal A. All of 61 are installed so as to come into contact with the stepping surface Af of the accelerator pedal A. At this time, in order to prevent the roller 61 from rolling and dropping off from the stepping surface Af, the roller 61 is preferably arranged on the upper side of the stepping surface Af as much as possible. From this state, when the driver steps on the auxiliary operation pedal 4 with his / her left foot, the accelerator pedal A rotates as each roller 61 presses the stepping surface Af in a substantially orthogonal direction, and the stepping surface accordingly. The inclination angle of Af changes. Here, as described above, since the roller support member 62 is rotatably attached to the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5, the roller support member 62 follows the change in the inclination angle of the stepping surface Af. As shown in FIG. 8, each roller 61 is maintained in contact with the stepping surface Af by rotating about the support shaft insertion hole 62c. As a result, it is possible to always press the stepping surface Af with the roller 61 in a substantially right-angle direction, and the driver's stepping force can be efficiently transmitted to the accelerator pedal A. As the accelerator pedal A rotates, each roller 61 rolls downward along the stepping surface Af. In the present embodiment, four rollers 61 are installed along the vertical direction of the stepping surface Af. Therefore, even when the lowermost roller 61 falls off the stepping surface Af, the other rollers 61 are arranged. Thus, the stepping surface Af can be pressed, and the stepping force can be transmitted more reliably.

  In this embodiment, the square bar 52 of the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 is formed in a long and substantially rectangular column shape. However, as shown in FIG. It can also be changed to a bent shape. By changing in this way, the present invention can be applied even when the accelerator pedal A is formed obliquely depending on the vehicle type of the automobile.

  Further, the “accelerator pedal pressing portion” in the present invention is a concept including the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 and the accelerator pedal pressing member 6 in the present embodiment.

  Next, the torque transmission shaft 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12. The torque transmission shaft 3 is a long round bar made of stainless steel or the like. The torque transmission shaft 3 is inserted into a support plate 201 welded and fixed near the right end of the base 2 and a transmission shaft support member 202 welded and fixed near the left end of the base 2 so as to be freely rotatable on the base 2. Supported. Further, the torque transmission member 3 is disposed between the support plate 201 and the transmission shaft support member 202, and the adjustment nut 8 that adjusts and fixes the length of the torque transmission member 3 and the dropout prevention that prevents the torque transmission shaft from falling off. It is inserted into the spring 9.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the torque transmission shaft 3 can be separated into left and right by a central joint, the transmission shaft left portion 31 is fixed to the base of the auxiliary operation pedal 4 disposed on the left side, and the accelerator pedal is pressed on the right side. It comprises a base of the lever 5 and a transmission shaft right part 32 to be fixed. The right end portion of the transmission shaft left portion 31 forms a left screw male screw 33, and the left end portion of the transmission shaft right portion 32 forms a female screw 34 that engages with the male screw 33. Yes. The transmission shaft left member 31 is inserted in the order of the transmission shaft support member 202, the drop-off prevention spring 9, and the adjustment nut 8, and fastens to the transmission shaft right member 32. The male screw 33 of the transmission shaft left member 31 can be fastened to the female screw 34 of the transmission shaft right member 32 within a predetermined range, and the adjustment nut 8 screwed to the male screw 33 is fixed at a predetermined position. The torque transmission shaft 3 can be fixed to a desired length by being brought into pressure contact with the transmission shaft right member 32. When the length of the torque transmission shaft 3 is expanded and contracted, the auxiliary operation pedal 4 fixed to the left end thereof can be moved in the left-right direction. Therefore, the position of the auxiliary operation pedal 4 can be adjusted to an arbitrary position where the driver can easily drive.

  Further, the drop-off prevention spring 9 applies a rightward force to the adjustment nut 8. Since the length from the transmission shaft support member 202 to the transmission shaft right member 32 does not change, it is possible to prevent the adjustment nut 8 that is in pressure contact with the transmission shaft right member 32 from being loosened.

  When the auxiliary operation pedal 4 is depressed, a counterclockwise rotational force is applied to the transmission shaft left member 31 as viewed from the left side. Since the male screw 33 of the transmission shaft left member 31 is a left screw, this counterclockwise rotational force acts in a direction in which the male screw 33 and the female screw 34 are tightened. On the other hand, the force to return when the accelerator pedal A is pressed is applied to the transmission shaft right member 32 via the accelerator pedal pressing member 6 and the accelerator pedal pressing lever 5 in a counterclockwise rotational force when viewed from the right side. It is transmitted. As described above, since the male screw 33 and the female screw 34 are left-handed screws, the counterclockwise rotational force when viewed from the right side acts in a direction in which the male screw 33 and the female screw 34 are tightened. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the male screw 33 and the female screw 34 from being loosened when the automobile is driven using the automobile driving assist pedal 1, and the operation can be performed more safely.

  Next, the stopper 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

On the other hand, the clamping portion 72 is pivotally attached to the support plate 201 by fastening the small shaft hole 21 a and the lower through hole 72 b provided in the support plate 201 with bolts 76 and nuts 77. The main body plate 71 of the stopper 7 is installed slightly inclined from the vertical direction toward the accelerator pedal pressing member 6, and is supported by being in close contact with a part of the curved surface of the circular member 73.

  The angle adjusting hole 73a of the circular member 73 is formed in a longitudinal shape in the vertical direction, and the bolt 74 can be slid up and down by loosening the bolt 74 and the nut 75 inside thereof. And if the volt | bolt 74 moves up and down, the upper through-hole 72a provided in the clamping part 72 will also move up and down. The vertical movement of the through hole 72a causes the main body plate 71 and the sandwiching portion 72 to swing at a predetermined angle around the bolt 76 inserted into the lower through hole 72b. The circular member 73 moves to the left and right according to the swinging of the main body plate 71 so as to be in close contact with the main body plate 71.

  With the configuration described above, the angle of the main body plate 71 of the stopper 7 can be adjusted, and the main body plate 71 can be securely fixed by the configuration in which the main body plate 71 is always supported by the circular member 73.
