Abstract
The present invention relates to a leg reduction device for a clutch pedal of an automobile, and it is possible to greatly reduce the driver's pressing force when the pedal arm (30) is rotated according to the driver's operation, thereby greatly reducing the driver's fatigue Further, when the pedal arm 30 is not operated, the full return of the pedal arm 30 can be induced, so that a more reliable connection between the clutch disk and the flywheel can be achieved. As a result, Even in a horsepower vehicle, it can be used sufficiently without damaging the parts.
Description
More particularly, the present invention relates to a driving force reducing device for a vehicular clutch pedal which can reduce a driver's feeling of feeling when operating a pedal, And a pedal depressing device for a clutch pedal.
In a manual transmission vehicle, when the clutch disc and the flywheel are connected to each other so as to transmit power, the slip between the clutch disc and the flywheel must be prevented so that the power of the engine can be smoothly transmitted to the transmission.
In the meantime, as the vehicle performance is improved, a high-power engine having a higher output is gradually used. In the case of using a high-horsepower engine, the spring force of the diaphragm must be higher than that of a conventional one in order to securely connect the clutch disk and the flywheel. There is a way to increase the diameter of the turnover spring.
However, when the spring force of the turnover spring is increased, the pressure applied to the clutch pedal is increased. As a result, the fatigue of the driver due to the pedal operation is relatively increased. In particular, when the diameter of the turnover spring is increased, And the spring bushes connecting the turnover spring and the pedal member are easily damaged.
It should be understood that the foregoing description of the background art is merely for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the background of the present invention and is not to be construed as an admission that the prior art is known to those skilled in the art.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicular automatic transmission capable of reducing the driver's feel when operating the clutch pedal, And a pedal depressing device for a clutch pedal.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a foot reduction device for a clutch pedal of an automotive vehicle, the foot reduction device comprising: a fixed shaft disposed at a front upper side of a pedal hinge serving as a rotation center of a pedal arm; A pedal bracket having one end fixedly coupled to the hinge pipe through which the pedal hinge penetrates and the other end protruding forwardly and having a guide hole formed at the other end; And a pedal arm which is rotatably mounted to the fixed shaft and the pedal bracket while connecting the fixed shaft and the pedal bracket and is provided with a returning force to the pedal arm by an elastic force accumulated according to a change in forward rotation angle of the pedal arm, And an elastic force providing mechanism for applying an elastic force to the pedal arm to increase forward rotation of the pedal arm.
The pedal bracket is composed of a pair of the pedal brackets fixedly coupled to the hinge pipe so that one end thereof is in close contact with both side surfaces of the pedal arm, and the other end of the pedal bracket protrudes parallel to the front side.
Wherein the guide hole is formed to pass through the pedal bracket in the lateral direction and form a closed space in the front-rear direction; A front protruding portion and a rear protruding portion which are opposed to each other are formed at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction in the guide hole; The width of the guide hole in the front-rear direction is narrowest between the front projection and the rear projection, and is gradually widened in the vertical direction.
The elastic force providing mechanism includes a rotary pin inserted between the pair of pedal brackets and having opposite ends coupled to the pedal bracket so as to be rotatable about an axis; A guide rod having one end coupled to the fixed shaft so as to be rotatable about its axis and the other end configured to pass through the rotation pin; A spring washer fitted into the guide rod to be positioned in the guide hole; And a compression spring fitted to the guide rod and having both ends supported by the rotation pin and the spring washer so as to provide an elastic force such that the spring washer is brought into close contact with the guide hole.
The rotation pin is rotatably coupled to the rear projection of the pedal bracket by avoiding the guide hole; The spring washer is installed in contact with the front surface of the guide hole formed by the elastic force of the compression spring, and when the guide rod is rotated about the fixed shaft, the front surface of the guide hole, And is movably provided.
Wherein the washer hole of the spring washer penetrates through the guide hole when the guide rod is axially rotated about the fixed axis so that the spring washer is vertically rotated to easily move along the front face of the guide hole, Is formed in an elliptic shape larger than the left and right direction diameters.
When the center line connecting the fixed axis and the rotation center of the rotation pin is located below the reference line connecting the fixed axis and the center of rotation of the pedal hinge in a straight line, the compression spring causes the pedal arm And returns to the initial position.
The compression spring is maximally compressed when the center line connecting the fixed shaft and the rotation center of the rotary pin in a straight line is aligned with a reference line that is a straight line connecting the rotation center of the pedal hinge and the fixed shaft, And provides a maximum reaction force to the arm.
From the instant when the center line connecting the fixed shaft and the rotation center of the rotation pin is linearly positioned through the reference line connecting the fixed shaft and the rotation center of the pedal hinge upward, And the forward rotation of the pedal arm is increased.
According to the present invention, it is possible to greatly reduce the driver's pressing force when the pedal arm is rotated according to the driver's operation, thereby greatly reducing the driver's fatigue due to the pedal operation. In addition, The pedal arm can be fully returned to the clutch disc and the flywheel can be more reliably connected to the clutch disc. Therefore, even a high-horsepower vehicle with a high engine output can be used without damaging the parts.
