Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an accelerator link mechanism that transmits the operation of an accelerator pedal of an automobile to an accelerator cable.

<Prior art> As shown in Fig. 3, the conventional accelerator link mechanism has a support shaft 2 attached to a bracket 1 in the longitudinal direction F- of the vehicle.
A lever 3 is fixed by an axis perpendicular to R, and has a coupling hole 4 for connecting an accelerator cable to this support shaft. An accelerator shaft 5 is fixed to the end of this lever 3, and an accelerator pedal is attached to the end of the accelerator shaft 5. 6 is in contact with each other. In this device, by depressing the accelerator pedal 6 in the direction of arrow A, the accelerator shaft 5 is rotated downward in the direction of arrow B using the support shaft 2 as a fulcrum, and by rotating the lever 3 upward in the direction of arrow C. It is used to pull the accelerator cable. Incidentally, since the vertical movement of the lever 3 is around the axis of the support shaft 2 which is perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal direction F-R, there is a large I have a problem that requires space.

<Objective of the invention> An object of the invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by converting the rotational direction of the lever from the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to the left-right direction with an extremely small number of parts.

<Configuration of the invention> The characteristic configuration of the invention is that a support shaft is fixed to the bracket with an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a rotating body is supported on this support shaft so as to be rotatable in the left and right directions around the support shaft. , a lever for connecting the accelerator cable is fixed to the rotating body, and an accelerator shaft is fixed to the rotating body, the tip of the accelerator shaft has a convex curved surface facing upward, and is curved eccentrically from the center point of the support shaft. An arcuate portion is formed, and the lower surface of the accelerator pedal is brought into contact with the convex curved surface of this arcuate portion.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. 1 is a bracket. A support shaft 2 is fixed to this bracket 1 along an axis parallel to the vehicle longitudinal direction FR. The rotating body 7 is supported on the axis 2 so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction around the support shaft (left-right direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle). A lever 8 having a coupling hole 9 for coupling an unillustrated accelerator cable is fixed to this rotating body 7, and an accelerator shaft 10 is fixed in an axial direction parallel to the support shaft 2. Furthermore, an arcuate portion 11 is formed at the tip of the accelerator shaft 10, with which the lower surface of the accelerator pedal 6 comes into contact. This arcuate portion 11 is curved in the opposite direction to the lever 8 with the convex curved surface facing upward, and the contact point E on the lower surface of the accelerator pedal 6 is at an eccentric position by a required amount r from the center point of the support shaft 2. It is formed so that. Reference numeral 12 denotes a return spring stretched between the rotating body 7 and the bracket 1.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the action of the load in the direction of arrow A due to the depression of the accelerator pedal 6 is applied to the arcuate portion 11 at the tip of the accelerator shaft 10 eccentric from the center of the support shaft 2, and the accelerator The contact point E on the lower surface of the pedal 6 shifts on the convex curved surface of the arcuate portion 11 to rotate the rotating body 7 in the direction of arrow D around the support shaft 2, and the lever 8 fixed to the rotating body 7 is moved in the vehicle longitudinal direction F. -R, the accelerator cable is operated by converting it into left and right movement.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, according to the invention, the action of the load caused by pressing down on the accelerator pedal is controlled by converting the lever to which the accelerator cable is connected into left and right movement in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to set up a large space in the direction of the vehicle from the mounting position of the bracket as in the past, allowing installation in a very narrow space, and converting the direction of load application of the accelerator pedal into left-right movement of the lever. It has the advantage of having a very small number of parts, a simple structure, and being able to be provided at low cost.
