자동차용 급가속 방지 장치{Device for preventing accident acceleration of vehicle} Device for preventing accident acceleration of vehicle

본 발명은 자동차용 급가속 방지장치에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 운전 중 돌발상황이나 운전자의 순간적인 착오로 가속페달을 급작스럽게 밟았을 때, 곧바로 가속케이블의 당겨진 상태가 해제되게 하여 액셀레이터의 작동이 일시적으로 멈추도록 함으로써, 페달의 오조작에 따른 안전사고를 예방할 수 있는 자동차용 급가속 방지장치에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a rapid acceleration device for an automobile, and more particularly, when the accelerator pedal is suddenly stepped due to an accidental situation or a driver's instantaneous error while driving, the accelerator cable is immediately released to release the operation of the accelerator. By temporarily stopping this, the present invention relates to a rapid acceleration prevention device for automobiles that can prevent safety accidents due to misoperation of the pedals.

통상적으로 운전자가 가속페달을 밟으면 가속케이블이 당겨지면서 드로틀밸브가 열려 가속이 이루어진다.운전자가 가속페달에서 발을 떼면 리턴스프링에 의해 다시 원위치되어 드로틀밸브가 닫히면서 가속이 정지된다.한편, 자동차를 급제동시키기 위한 브레이크페달 조작시 운전자의 착오로 가속페달을 조작하는 경우를 가끔 볼 수 있다. 이러한 가속페달의 오조작은 차량파손이나 인명사고 등 대형사고로 이어지기 때문에 이에 대한 각별한 주의가 필요하고 대책마련이 시급히 요구된다. Normally, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal, the acceleration cable is pulled and the throttle valve is opened to accelerate.When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the driver releases the return pedal and returns to the position by the return spring, which closes the throttle valve and stops the acceleration. When operating the brake pedal for sudden braking, the driver sometimes mishandles the accelerator pedal. Since the misoperation of the accelerator pedal leads to a large accident such as a vehicle damage or a life-saving accident, special care must be taken for this and urgent measures are urgently required.

따라서, 본 발명은 이와 같은 점을 감안하여 안출한 것으로서, 정상적으로 가속페달을 밟는 경우 이외에 가속페달을 순간적으로 세게 밟는 경우, 예를 들면 자동차 급제동이 요구되는 돌발적인 상황에서 가속페달을 브레이크페달로 오인하여 급작스럽게 밟는 경우 곧바로 가속케이블의 당겨진 상태가 해제되게 함으로써, 액셀레이터의 작동이 일시적으로 멈추면서 자동차의 급가속이 이루어지지 않게 되고, 이에 따라 페달의 오조작에 따른 안전사고를 예방할 수 있는 자동차용 급가속 방지장치를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above, and when the accelerator pedal is momentarily hard pressed in addition to the normal accelerator pedal, for example, the accelerator pedal is mistaken for the brake pedal in an unexpected situation in which a sudden braking of the vehicle is required. If you suddenly step on it, the acceleration cable will be released immediately, and the accelerator will stop temporarily and the car will not accelerate rapidly. This will prevent accidents caused by incorrect operation of the pedal. The purpose is to provide a rapid acceleration prevention device.

In this case, the accelerator pedal 10 is characterized in that the contact with the stopper 24.

이를 좀더 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.This will be described in more detail as follows.

첨부한 도 1은 본 발명에 따른 자동차용 급가속 방지장치를 나타내는 단면도이다. 도 1에 도시한 바와 같이, 가속페달(10)의 저면에는 케이스 도어(12)의 한쪽 끝부분이 힌지로 연결된다.또한, 상기 가속페달(10)에는 힌지 연결부위 일측의 상면에 스토퍼(24)가 일체로 부착되어 있어서 가속페달(10)의 밟을 경우 가속페달(10)의 저면이 닿을 수 있게 된다. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a rapid acceleration prevention device for a vehicle according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, one end of the case door 12 is connected to the bottom of the accelerator pedal 10 by a hinge. In addition, the accelerator pedal 10 has a stopper 24 on an upper surface of one side of the hinge connection portion. ) Is integrally attached so that the bottom of the accelerator pedal 10 can be reached when the accelerator pedal 10 is stepped on.

또한, 상기 케이스 도어(12)의 저부에는 케이스(14)가 장착된다.상기 케이스(14)의 일측단은 케이스 도어(12)에 힌지로 연결되고, 케이스(14)의 윗면 중앙과 케이스 도어(12)의 중앙 사이에는 스프링(16)이 연결 설치된다. In addition, a case 14 is mounted at the bottom of the case door 12. One end of the case 14 is connected to the case door 12 by a hinge, and the center of the upper surface of the case 14 and the case door ( The spring 16 is connected between the center of the 12.

이때의 스프링(16)은 운전자가 정상적인 힘으로 가속페달을 밟을 경우에는 인장되지 않을 정도의 장력을 갖게 된다.또한, 상기 스프링(16)은 후술하는 압축공기의 압축력에 의해 인장될 수 있게 된다.At this time, the spring 16 has a tension that is not tensioned when the driver presses the accelerator pedal with a normal force. In addition, the spring 16 can be tensioned by the compression force of the compressed air to be described later.

한편, 상기 케이스 도어(12)의 다른 한쪽 끝부분, 즉 힌지 연결부위의 반대쪽 끝부분과 일치되는 위치에는 차체 패널상에 고정되는 마그네틱 밸브 스위치(18)가 설치된다.On the other hand, the magnetic valve switch 18 fixed on the vehicle body panel is installed at the other end of the case door 12, that is, the position corresponding to the opposite end of the hinge connection portion.

또한, 상기 케이스 도어(12)의 상면에 형성된 설치구에는 상기 마그네틱 밸브 스위치(18)의 접지로 인하여 개폐 작동되며 케이스(14) 내로 압축공기를 공급하게 되는 마그네틱 밸브(20)가 장착된다. In addition, the mounting hole formed on the upper surface of the case door 12 is opened and closed due to the ground of the magnetic valve switch 18, the magnetic valve 20 is supplied to supply the compressed air into the case (14).

따라서, 이와 같이 구성된 본 발명에 따른 자동차용 급가속 방지장치의 작동상태를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Therefore, the operation state of the rapid acceleration prevention device for a vehicle according to the present invention configured as described above is as follows.

도 2a에 도시한 바와 같이, 운전자가 가속페달(10)을 정상적인 가속의 힘으로 밟으면, 가속페달(10)의 힘이 케이스 도어(12)에 전달되는 동시에 스프링(16)과 연결되어진 케이스(14)까지 상방향으로 이동을 하게 되며, 이와 동시에 케이스(14)의 저면에 연결되어진 가속케이블(22)이 당겨지게 됨으로써, 정상적인 가속이 이루어진다.As shown in FIG. 2A, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal 10 with the normal acceleration force, the force of the accelerator pedal 10 is transmitted to the case door 12 and the case 14 connected to the spring 16 at the same time. ) Is moved upward, and at the same time, the acceleration cable 22 connected to the bottom surface of the case 14 is pulled, thereby achieving normal acceleration.

한편, 가속페달(10)을 정상적으로 밟는 상태로 계속 가속시키는 경우 가속페달(10)의 저면이 케이스 도어(12)의 스토퍼(24)에 닿게 되는데, 이때의 닿는 느낌을 운전자가 인식할 수 있으므로 더 이상의 가속을 하지 않을 수 있게 된다.On the other hand, when the accelerator pedal 10 is continuously accelerated in a state of being normally pressed, the bottom of the accelerator pedal 10 comes into contact with the stopper 24 of the case door 12, and the driver can recognize the feeling of touching at this time. It is not possible to accelerate more.

도 2b에 도시한 바와 같이, 운전자가 가속페달(10)을 브레이크 페달로 오인하여 급작스럽게 밟으면, 케이스(14) 및 케이스 도어(12)는 가속페달(10)의 힌지 고정점을 중심으로 상방향으로 이동하게 되고, 이와 동시에 케이스 도어(12)의 끝부분이 그 윗쪽에 있는 마그네틱 밸브 스위치(18)를 누르게 된다.As shown in FIG. 2B, when the driver mistakenly recognizes the accelerator pedal 10 as a brake pedal and suddenly presses the case 14 and the case door 12, the case 14 and the case door 12 are moved upward with respect to the hinge fixing point of the accelerator pedal 10. At the same time the end of the case door 12 is pressed the magnetic valve switch 18 above it.

계속해서, 상기 마그네틱 밸브 스위치(18)가 눌려짐과 동시에 마그네틱 밸브(20)가 열리게 되고, 압축기와 연결되어진 라인을 통하여 압축공기가 케이스(14) 내로 공급된다. Subsequently, the magnetic valve 20 is opened while the magnetic valve switch 18 is pressed, and compressed air is supplied into the case 14 through a line connected to the compressor.

따라서, 케이스(14) 내에 공급된 압축공기의 압축력에 의하여 케이스(14)는 아래쪽으로 젖혀지게 되고, 결국 가속케이블(22)이 풀리게 되어 순간적인 가속을 방지할 수 있게 된다.Therefore, the case 14 is bent downward by the compressive force of the compressed air supplied into the case 14, and thus, the acceleration cable 22 is released, thereby preventing the momentary acceleration.

이상에서 본 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 자동차용 급가속 방지장치에 의하면, 예를들어 가속페달을 브레이크 페달로 잘못 인식하여 급하게 밟았을 경우에 순간적으로 당겨진 가속케이블이 동시에 풀리게 되어, 급가속을 방지할 수 있어 안전사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있게 되는 효과가 있다.As described above, according to the rapid acceleration device for automobiles according to the present invention, for example, when the accelerator pedal is incorrectly recognized as a brake pedal and pressed quickly, the acceleration cable pulled instantaneously is released at the same time, thereby preventing rapid acceleration. It is possible to prevent the safety accident in advance can be effective.
