Description

Sensuous pedal for vehicle

The present invention relates to a vehicle emotional pedal, and more particularly, to a vehicle emotional pedal that can be applied to an accelerator pedal or a clutch pedal.

In general, a vehicle is provided with an accelerator pedal, a clutch pedal, and a brake pedal operated by the driver's foot.

Since the pedals are installed in a narrow space below the front of the driver, the distance between the pedals is inevitably narrow. In particular, in the case of a manual transmission vehicle including a clutch pedal, the distance between the pedals is narrower.

Therefore, even when an urgent situation occurs, even an experienced driver may make a mistake in pedal operation, and in the case of an inexperienced novice driver, accidents due to a pedal operation mistake frequently occur.

The present invention provides a different feeling of contact to the pedal operated by the driver's foot so that the driver can distinguish the types of the pedal only by the sense of the foot, thereby preventing the pedal from being misoperated, thereby causing the pedal misoperation. It is an object of the present invention to provide an emotional pedal for a vehicle that can reduce accidents as much as possible.

The present invention for achieving the above object, the pedal arm rotatably installed around the rotation axis, the pedal plate integrally provided at the end of the pedal arm, the pedal pad coupled to the pedal plate to the driver's foot contact A emotional pedal for a vehicle comprising: an air chamber provided inside the pedal pad; The air chamber is characterized in that it is formed to be connected to the outside through a plurality of air holes.

In addition, the emotional pedal according to the present invention is characterized in that the emotional pack containing silicon or gel is further inserted into the air chamber.

The upper and lower edges of the pedal pad protrude downwardly from the air chamber and are formed integrally with a locking protrusion bent in a shape of a air force (a) toward the center of the pedal pad; The pedal plate and the pedal pad are assembled and coupled to each other so that the upper and lower ends of the pedal plate are inserted into a space between the air chamber and the locking protrusion.

Here, it is preferable that the pedal plate and the pedal pad are assembled and coupled so that an air discharge space is provided between the pedal plate and the chamber film forming the air chamber.

In addition, it is preferable that a plurality of air holes are formed in the chamber film or a plurality of air holes are formed on the side surface of the pedal pad.

The emotional pedal configured as described above is preferably used as an accelerator pedal or a clutch pedal.

According to the present invention, as the driver's touch feeling is used as an accelerator pedal or a clutch pedal, the contact feeling can be differentiated from the hard brake pedal, thereby greatly reducing the driver's pedal misoperation. As a result, accidents caused by pedal misoperation can be minimized.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a vehicle emotional pedal according to the present invention includes a pedal arm 10 rotatably installed around a rotation shaft 1 and a pedal integrally provided at an end of the pedal arm 10. Plate 20 and the pedal plate 20 is coupled to the pedal pad 30 to the driver's foot is in contact with the configuration.

In the above configuration, the inside of the pedal pad 30 is provided with an air chamber 31, the air chamber 31 is a structure formed to be connected to the outside through a plurality of air holes (32).

The upper and lower edges of the pedal pad 30 protrude downwardly from the air chamber 31, and then the locking protrusions 33 bent toward the center of the pedal pad 30 are formed in the shape of the air force (a). The pedal plate 20 and the pedal pad 30 are assembled to be coupled to the upper and lower ends of the pedal plate 20 in a space between the air chamber 31 and the locking protrusion 33. .

When the pedal plate 20 and the pedal pad 30 are assembled and coupled as described above, an air discharge space 35 is formed between the pedal plate 20 and the chamber film 34 forming the air chamber 31. It is provided.

Here, if the size of the air chamber 31 is formed to be substantially the same size as the front size of the pedal plate 20, as shown in Figure 2, the air discharge space 35 is the front of the pedal plate 20 and the It is formed only between the chamber film 34, in which case the air hole 32 has a structure in which a plurality of the chamber film 34 forming the bottom of the air chamber 31 as shown in Figs.

And, if the size of the air chamber 31 is smaller than the size of the front surface of the pedal plate 20, as shown in Figure 4, the air discharge space 35 is the upper and lower left and right of the outside of the air chamber 31 It is formed in all four directions, in this case the air hole 32 has a structure in which a plurality of side portions forming the air chamber 31 as shown in FIG.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the air holes 32 may have a structure in which a plurality of air holes 32 are formed at the side surfaces of the pedal pad 30.

In addition, the emotional pedal according to the present invention may have a structure in which the emotional pack 40 containing silicon or gel is further inserted into the air chamber 31 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6. Bar, the emotional pack 40 is to further improve the driver's sense with the air chamber 31.

On the other hand, a plurality of anti-slip grooves 36 or a plurality of anti-slip projections 37 are formed at a predetermined interval along one of the horizontal and vertical directions on the surface of the pedal pad 30, the driver's foot contacts.

That is, the pedal pad 30 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 is a structure in which a plurality of anti-slip grooves 36 are formed along the longitudinal direction, and the pedal pad 30 illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6 is illustrated in FIG. There is shown a structure in which a plurality of anti-slip protrusions 37 are formed along the horizontal and vertical directions.

The anti-slip groove 36 and the anti-slip projection 37 prevent the slip of the driver's foot to enable more stable pedal operation.

Here, if the non-slip projections 37 are formed on the pedal pad 30, the air chamber 31 is preferably formed in the non-slip protrusions 37 as shown in FIG.

In addition, the emotional pedal according to the present invention, except for the non-slip projections 37 on the surface of the pedal pad 30 as shown in Figure 4 to 6 for improving the durability and aesthetics of the pedal pad 30. The pad cover 50 is preferably coupled to the surface of the pedal pad 30 so as to be covered.

The pad cover 50 is preferably formed of stainless steel to secure rigidity and improve aesthetics. In particular, the pad cover 50 may be combined to cover the surface of the pedal pad 30 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. 6, or may be coupled in a form (insert coupling method) press-fitted into the pedal pad 30.

In addition, the emotional pedal according to the present invention configured as described above is preferably used as an accelerator pedal or a clutch pedal, the brake pedal should be generated as soon as possible during the operation of the driver's pedal, the pad part in contact with the driver's foot material is Hard ones are preferred.

When the emotional pedal configured as described above is used as an accelerator pedal or a clutch pedal, the driver's pedal misoperation can be greatly reduced by differentiating the contact with the brake pedal, and further, the accident caused by the pedal misoperation can be minimized. Can be reduced.
