Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a clamping device for a pedal in a vehicle.

B. Summary of the invention This invention relates to a clamping device for clamping the pedals of a vehicle during vehicle tests, etc. The upper part is folded back and is formed so that it can be hung on the upper edge of the pedal, and the lower part is attached to the lower edge of the pedal. The connecting part of the rod is provided at the bottom of the pedal, and the direction in which the rod presses the pedal is set so as to face outward from the tangent to the travel path of the pedal, making the installation work easy and the operation reliable. He made it so that it would be done.

C. Prior Art FIG. 3 shows a conventional pedal clamp device. This clamp device 50 connects a rod 52 extending from an actuator (not shown) installed in a vehicle (not shown) to the pedal 10, and transmits the movement of the rod 52 to the pedal 10 to actuate the pedal 10. It is. Specifically, a spherical bearing 54 is provided at the tip of the rod 52, a frame 58 is attached to the operating shaft 56 of the spherical bearing 54, and the pedal 10 is fixed to the frame 58. The frame 58 is bent inward on both sides,
The pedal 10 is accommodated inside the bent portion 60. The operating shaft 56 has a threaded portion 62 at its tip, and a hexagonal portion 64 on the spherical bearing 54 side.
It is designed to be screwed into the frame by turning.

Therefore, the installation of this clamp device 50 is as follows:
Insert the frame 58 into the pedal 10, and
6 is screwed in using a spanner, and is clamped and fixed by the bent portion 60 of the frame 58. In this manner, the pedal 10 is actuated via the rod 52.

D Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the clamping device 50 has the following problems. The pedal 10 is located at the lower front of the vehicle interior, and inserting the frame 58 into the pedal 10 and turning the hexagonal part 64 in the immediate vicinity of the frame 58 with a spanner is a very difficult task. , which was a laborious and time-consuming task. Further, the working shaft 56 is screwed into the frame, and its head and the bent portion 60 of the frame 58 are connected to each other.
Since the pedal 10 is clamped between the pedals 10 and 10, the frame 58 sometimes comes off the pedal 10 during operation and falls downward. If the rod 52 comes off from the pedal 10 in this way, not only will the test be interrupted, but if the pedal 10 is a clutch pedal, there is a problem in that it may also cause a failure in the transmission. Ta.

E. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention configures the clamp device as follows. In other words, the upper part is folded back so that it can be hung on the upper edge of the pedal, and a rod is connected to the lower part at a position below the lower edge of the pedal, and this rod is pressed so as not to face inward from the tangent line of the pedal's travel trajectory. In this way, the actuator is connected to the actuator.

F Function According to this clamp device, installation can be done by simply hooking the folded part from the top of the pedal, and even if the rod presses the clamp device by actuating the actuator, the connecting part between the clamp device and the rod can be attached to the pedal. Since it is below the lower edge of the pedal, the folded part will not bite into the pedal and come off.

G. Embodiment An embodiment of the clamp side plate of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a side view showing the clamp device 2, which is attached to a pedal 10. FIG. The clamping device 2 consists of a rod 4 and a mounting plate 6, both of which are rotatably attached by a pin 8. The mounting plate 6 is bent into a slightly dogleg shape, and the upper part thereof is folded back into a U shape. This folded-back portion 12 is formed so that the upper edge 14a of the stepping portion 14 of the pedal 10 is hung thereon.
Two support plates 16 are vertically fixed to the lower part of the mounting plate 6, and the rod 4 is connected to the mounting plate 6 through a pin 8 inserted into the support plates 16. The mounting position of the support plate 16 is located below the lower edge b of the stepping portion 14 of the pedal 10. Further, the rod 4 is connected to an actuator on the left side of the figure (not shown). In this connection, the angle of the rod 4 is set so that when the rod 4 is pressed, the pressing direction is inward from the tangent to the locus of movement of the pedal 10, that is, not toward the center of rotation.

Therefore, when installing, place the upper part of the mounting plate 6 of the clamp device 2 on the stepping part 14 of the pedal 10.
The clamp device 2 only needs to be hung from above, and even if the actuator is operated and the rod 4 is moved, the clamp device 2 does not come off from the pedal 10 and the pedal 10 is operated. Figure 2 is another example,
Projections 20 are provided on both sides of the clamp device 2. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the clamp device 3 from coming off in the left-right direction. Other functions and effects are similar to those of the clamp device 2 described above.

H Effects of the invention According to the clamping device of the invention, the upper part is folded back so that it can be hung on the upper edge of the pedal, the rod is attached to the lower part so as to be located below the lower edge of the pedal, and the pressing direction of the rod is the same as that of the pedal. Since it is set so that it does not face inward from the tangent line of the movement trajectory, it only needs to be attached to the upper edge of the pedal.
Work efficiency is greatly improved, and operation after installation can be ensured without coming off the pedal.
