Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an operating pedal such as an accelerator pedal in a cab-over type automobile or the like, and particularly to protection measures for a cable member connected thereto.

Prior Art Conventionally, the operation pedal of a cab-over type automobile, for example, an accelerator pedal, has been used, for example, in
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 42240, a device is known that is rotatably supported on the vehicle body via a bracket and positioned above the floor panel.

However, in such an operation pedal, a pedal part is formed on one side of the pedal body, and an inner cable end of a cable member is connected to the other side, and the cable member is formed on a floor panel below the pedal. It extends through the opening, and a portion thereof protrudes and is exposed above the floor panel. Therefore, if snow or the like adheres to the soles of the driver's shoes, the bellows-shaped cover that covers the cable member, particularly the end of the inner cable, may be connected by the snow or the like. As a result, the return of the operating pedal becomes difficult, and if the pedal is kept depressed, problems such as irritation occur. There was also the problem that mud from the soles of shoes adhered to the cable members and soiled them.

Purpose of the invention The purpose of the invention is to cover and protect the exposed cable member that protrudes from the floor panel by the operating pedal itself in cab-over type automobiles, etc., even with a simple structure. The purpose is to prevent cable members from freezing due to snow, etc., and also to prevent mud, etc. from adhering.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is to provide an operation pedal for a cab-over type vehicle as described above, in which a pedal part is formed on one side and a floor panel below the pedal is formed on the other side. A cover portion extending in the left-right direction is integrally formed with the pedal body portion to which the inner cable end of the cable member extending through the formed opening is connected, and the cover portion covers the cable member protruding above the floor panel. This is how it was done.

Effects of the Invention Therefore, according to the automobile operation pedal of the present invention, the cable member protruding above the floor panel can be covered and protected by the operation pedal itself.
The simple structure prevents the cable member from freezing due to snow adhering to the soles of shoes, ensuring a good return of the operating pedal, and prevents the cable member from becoming dirty due to mud, etc., making it easier to operate. This can contribute to improving the operational stability and durability of the pedal.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments as specific examples of the technical means of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an accelerator pedal A of a cab-over type automobile. In the figure, numeral 1 denotes a front panel constituting the front surface of a cabin B of a cab-over type automobile, 2 a floor panel constituting the bottom surface of the cabin B, and 3 a front pillar (hinge pillar) extending vertically on the side surface of the cabin B. A bracket 4 is fixed to the inner side of the vehicle at the bottom of the front pillar 3 by bolts 5.
, a generally L-shaped pedal main body 6 constituting the main body of the accelerator pedal A is rotatably supported via a support shaft 7 extending in a substantially horizontal direction, and a torsion spring 8 is used to constantly release the pedal (return). ) direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 2), and the accelerator pedal A, which serves as an operating pedal, is rotatably supported by the vehicle body and positioned above the floor panel 2. Reference numeral 9 designates a first stopper provided on the bracket 4 to restrict the release position (return position) of the pedal body 6, and its contact portion 9a is formed of an elastic material such as rubber. Further, reference numeral 10 denotes a second stopper provided on the bracket 4 so as to restrict the maximum depression position of the pedal body 6, and the second stopper 10 is made of an adjuster bolt so that the restriction position can be adjusted. Further, a contact portion 11 made of an elastic material such as rubber is provided on the portion of the pedal body portion 6 that comes into contact with the second stopper 10.

As shown in FIG. 3, on one side (rear side) of the pedal body 6 across the support shaft 7, there is a
A pedal portion 12 for stepping on the foot is formed, and a cable attachment portion 13 is formed on the other side (front side). Although not shown, one end of the cable member 14 for transmitting the depression force of the accelerator pedal A is connected to a throttle valve provided in the engine for controlling the amount of intake air. On the other hand, the other end of the cable member 14 connected to the accelerator pedal A is connected to an opening 15 formed in the floor panel 2 below the pedal part 12 from below the cabin B.
The outer cable 14a passes through the grommet 16 and extends onto the floor panel 2 and extends forward, and the tip of the outer cable 14a is connected and fixed to the lower end of the bracket 4, and the tip of the inner cable 14b is It extends further forward and is connected to the cable attachment part 13 of the pedal body part 6. The outer cable 14 of the inner cable 14b
The outer periphery of the portion extending forward from point a is covered with a bellows-shaped cover 17 to allow movement of the inner cable 14b as the pedal body 6 rotates.

In addition, a cover section 18 extending in the left-right direction is integrally formed on the side surface of the pedal body section 6 from the pedal section 12 to the cable attachment section 13, and the cover section 18 projects above the floor panel 2. It is formed to cover the cable member 14 (including the bellows-shaped cover 17).

Therefore, the accelerator pedal A of the above embodiment
The cable member 14 extends through the opening 15 formed in the floor panel 2 below the pedal part 12 and is connected to the cable attachment part 13, while the cable member protruding above the floor panel 2 is attached to the pedal body part 6. By integrally forming the cover portion extending in the left-right direction, even if snow or the like adheres to the soles of the driver's shoes and the driver depresses the accelerator pedal A, the snow or the like will be removed from the cable member 14, especially the cable attachment. Part 1
It is possible to prevent them from adhering to the bellows-shaped cover 17 provided on the outer periphery of the end of the inner cable 14b connected to the inner cable 14b, which is connected to the inner cable 14b, and to prevent them from freezing.
Therefore, the return of the accelerator pedal A does not deteriorate, and good return can be ensured. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent mud from the soles of shoes and the like from adhering to the cable member 14, thereby preventing it from becoming soiled.

Further, since the cover portion 18 is integrally formed with the pedal body portion 6, the cable member 1 as described above can be used with a simple structure without requiring a separate member.
4 can be implemented easily and at low cost.

In the above embodiment, a case was described in which the accelerator pedal A of a cab-over type vehicle was applied, but the present invention is also applicable to other various operation pedals such as a brake pedal, which are rotatably supported on the vehicle body and located above the floor panel. Needless to say, it can also be applied.
