Abstract

An object of the present invention is to prevent a mistake in stepping on an accelerator and a brake pedal in an automatic vehicle operation of a gasoline vehicle. SOLUTION: The brake on the automobile side is used as it is, and only the accelerator pedal is removed to provide a knee-operated accelerator / safety 3 (in the form of a lever switch of an electric sewing machine) as a throttle valve in the engine room. Use mechanically or electrically connected. The accelerator 3 that is being pushed by the left knee or shin while running is decelerated and braked so that the accelerator pedal is turned off by depressing the brake pedal 2 with the right foot in the previous position, and the accelerator controller is turned on. 6 adjusts and controls each component.

Description

The present invention provides an automobile driving system related to prevention of mistakes in the depression of an accelerator and a brake that have occurred during driving of a gasoline automobile.

Increasingly, accidents such as injury or illness caused damage to parts of the body, driving cars different from normal, and accidentally stepping on the accelerator and brakes, unlike my own will.
The one-brake system accident prevention device that has already been developed with a single accelerator and brake is effective as a device that can be retrofitted to a vehicle and is actually used in some parts. It costs tens of thousands of yen and is a heavy burden for those who are old and have lost their jobs.
The present invention relates to a means for solving this.

In the past, when driving a car, it was not certain whether accidents caused by mistakes in the accelerator and brakes, which were occasionally generated mainly by elderly people, were due to incorrect driving or intentional sudden acceleration. Because the installation position is next to the brake pedal, frequent mistakes have occurred, causing the person to understand that the situation suddenly accelerates despite the fact that the person is performing braking as an act of stopping, and the person can not understand the situation It has been found that there are many cases of losing late when it takes time.

At present, an accelerator and a brake pedal are provided as the steering mechanism for each vehicle, but when the vehicle was forced to stop urgently, the driver rushed and mistakenly pressed this accelerator with the brake.
Those who have noticed it have invented the one-pedal system, and those who are worried about making mistakes are installing it in their cars.
However, it costs tens of thousands of yen to install the one pedal, and when turning the vehicle back, the body turns halfway backwards, so the right foot stepping on the accelerator is unstable and the backward speed changes greatly. It was also dangerous.

Japanese Patent No. 5788187

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that these conventional problems can be solved and a person living anywhere in the country does not take time for installation work and can be made cheap and safe.
In addition, the installation cost of the one-pedal system and the problem that it is unstable and dangerous when backing is that the conventional brake is used as it is, and the accelerator is a knee push switch type of an electric sewing machine and the throttle of the engine room By connecting the valves, it is a system that can be easily remodeled, so it is possible to keep overheads low.

In addition, for maintenance and vehicle inspections, it is possible to easily check whether the device operates reliably and safely without requiring a special machine or the like, or when repair is necessary, it can be repaired with a simple tool.

Using the brakes of a conventional car as it is, the accelerator is removed from the floor and the wire connected to the throttle is extended to the position of the left knee on the driver's seat. It can be operated (remote control) by mechanically or electrically connecting the throttle valve in the engine room 4 and the throttle valve in the engine room 4 and manipulating the engine speed and output (cannot accelerate suddenly by stepping on) The accelerator safe 3 is provided.
It can be retrofitted to many already-sold cars (including used cars) and new cars before sale, can be easily installed without much change, and can run safely in Japan and abroad, and the appearance The point is that no work marks remain on the interior.

For this reason, the right foot is normally used for braking as in the past, and the accelerator is disconnected from the conventional connection, and a dedicated accelerator is placed near the seat of the driver's seat and controlled with a left knee or a knee.
In this way, the body reacts naturally and the driving of the car is smooth as in the case of walking with the right and left legs alternately, and it is possible to reduce the adverse effects such as the anxiety caused by the use of one leg unique to an automatic car.

In the present invention, the conventional accelerator and brake are arranged close to each other, but the brake is kept at the conventional position, and the accelerator is moved in the state of being able to move near the left knee position of the driver's seat so that the distance from the right foot is increased. The feature is that the method has been changed to operate with the left knee or the left leg (left lower limb) , and even if the driver rushes and depresses the real brake with the right foot in an emergency situation, the real accelerator Never step in.

FIG. 3 is a layout view of various control devices near the driver's seat of the automobile according to the present invention.

The present invention does not repeat forward and deceleration while alternately stepping on the accelerator on the right side and the brake on the left side alternately like a conventional car, but only lightly presses the accelerator safe lever on the left side with the left knee. In order to decrease the speed by pushing forward on the accelerator lever, if you weaken the force of the knee, the acceleration speed of the accelerator will slow down due to the spring force, and if you depress the brake with the right foot as before, the whole vehicle will be braked, There is a difference in driving until the vehicle stops when you step on it strongly or quickly and when you step on it weakly and slowly.
If the brake is depressed hard and quickly, the car will be completely stopped. However, if the vehicle decelerates when turning a curve or the like, the brake will be weakly depressed and temporarily decelerated to further accelerate.
In this case, the accelerator control controller 6 electronically memorizes and learns the features of the driver's driving, can it drive without disturbing the safe and smooth driving of the vehicle, and then immediately stops after moving to the slow speed driving. Whether the vehicle is accelerating slowly or not, the movement of the brake and accelerator is read and the smooth movement of the car is considered to be the best condition.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
This is an example in which a person sits in the driver's seat to drive a car and an accelerator safe and a brake pedal are installed.

FIG. 1 is an embodiment showing a driver seat of the embodiment.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a driver's handle, 2 a brake pedal, 3 an accelerator safe, 4 an engine room of an automobile, 5 a joint between a throttle valve and an accelerator in the engine room, and 6 an accelerator control controller.

In this embodiment, an automobile is operated by a driver.
Using the brakes of a conventional car as it is, the accelerator is removed from the floor, and the wire connected to the throttle is extended to the position of the left knee on the driver's seat, and the accelerator safe 3 consisting of a spring and a lever (knee control of the electric sewing machine) It can be operated (remote control) by mechanically or electrically connecting the throttle valve in the engine room 4 and the throttle valve in the engine room 4 and manipulating the engine speed and output (cannot accelerate suddenly by stepping on) The accelerator safe 3 is provided.
In addition, the accelerator safe 3 can be installed in a place where the user can easily drive, such as between the seat and the center console box or between the dashboard and the driver's knee for the convenience of the driver.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily improve the control system by retrofitting work so that the accelerator and the brake are not stepped on without changing the normal car so much. An inexpensive and safe car can be provided.

In addition, when turning the vehicle back, the body turns halfway and the foot position shifts in the driver's seat. With the one-pedal system, the acceleration / deceleration of the accelerator is unstable and dangerous.
