Description

Automotive pedal with acceleration and brake

The present invention relates to an automobile pedal for both an acceleration and a brake, and more particularly, to an automobile pedal for both an acceleration and a brake to reduce a brake operation time by integrating the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal.

All vehicles with a basic structure that explodes and combusts refined fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel in the engine and drives the wheels with the force should basically be configured to allow the driver to selectively control acceleration and stop. Accelerator pedal for acceleration and brake pedal for deceleration and stop are basically equipped.

Therefore, most of the automobiles are provided with brake pedals, accelerator pedals, and clutch pedals (no clutch pedals in the case of automatic vehicles) for shifting, respectively, and the driver can adjust them appropriately to ensure proper driving. This structure is not a problem in normal driving conditions, but deceleration and braking are only achieved when the driver who is stepping on the accelerator pedal at the sudden stop moves the foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal and fully presses the brake pedal. The time from the pedal to the brake pedal to operate the foot is called princess time, and this time usually takes 0.2 to 0.3 seconds, and this princess time is about 3 to 3 hours when the vehicle's driving speed is 60 km / h. When the length of the car is about 5m, and the driving speed of the car is 100km per hour, the car has a princess distance of about 5 to 7m. Such gongju street can cause serious dangers, especially in the case of night driving, etc. Therefore, the driver may step on the brake pedal while steering the steering wheel unconsciously, so that the driving direction of the car is not decelerated sufficiently. In the case of a sudden change to avoid a collision or a collision, it was often directly connected to an accident, such as overturning of a vehicle or collision with a guide rail different from an original obstacle. In addition, this can be said to be more serious in the case of a vehicle-to-vehicle accident.

Moreover, even in view of the increasing traffic problem, considering the ever-increasing number of vehicles and limited road conditions, accident prevention can be prevented from the viewpoint of reducing the risk of accident and reducing human and material waste due to traffic congestion following the accident. Safety devices for vehicles need to be developed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pedal for an automobile for both acceleration and brake which can selectively operate acceleration, deceleration and stop with one pedal.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, the accelerator and brake combined vehicle pedal, respectively, in a vehicle having a separate brake pedal and accelerator pedal, the low-speed pedal and the integral to the low-speed pedal hinge The low speed pedal hinge is mounted so as to be hinged to the scaffold housing by a low speed pedal hinge, one end of the low speed pedal comes into contact with the brake pedal, and the other end thereof has an accelerator cable and a pedal in a direction opposite to the acceleration cable. By connecting one end of the return spring, and the other end of the pedal return spring to the footrest housing.

The acceleration cable control wire for adjusting the length of the acceleration cable may be further connected.

In addition, the parking shaft cable is further connected to the reduction shaft in the same direction as the acceleration cable, the parking cable can be connected to the normal hand brake connection.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in detail in Figures 1 and 2, according to the present invention, the accelerator and brake pedal function of the combined vehicle according to the present invention has an acceleration function and a brake function opposite to each other, whereby the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal 1 are the same at the same time. In view of the fact that it cannot be manipulated in one direction, variable in one direction makes acceleration function and variable in one direction makes brake function by variable in both directions by hinge coupling of one pedal. will be.

That is, in a conventional vehicle having separate brake pedals and accelerator pedals, the brake pedal is left as it is, the accelerator pedal is removed, and the accelerator cable 9 connected to the accelerator pedal is connected to the brake pedal 1. It is integrated with the low speed pedal 4 that is variable in contact with the hinge so as to be connected to the fixed speed reduction shaft 6 so that only one low speed pedal 4 can be operated to have a configuration that enables both acceleration, deceleration and stop. will be.

To this end, the low speed pedal 4 and the reduction shaft 6 mounted integrally with the low speed pedal hinge 5 can be hinged to the scaffold housing 7 by the low speed pedal hinge 5. The brake pedal 1 is in contact with one end of the low speed pedal 4, and the pedal return spring 8 is opposite to the acceleration cable 9 and the acceleration cable 9 at the other end thereof. One end of the connection and the other end of the pedal return spring (8) should be connected to the footrest housing (7).

Here, the low speed pedal 4 is integrated with the deceleration shaft 6, whereby a portion protruding above the low speed pedal hinge 5, that is, onto the vehicle floor 3, has a low speed pedal 4. ), The lower high-speed pedal hinge 5 is buried downward, that is, the vehicle floor (3) as a reference to the acceleration cable (9) connected to the reduction shaft (6). The low speed pedal 4 and the reduction shaft 6 are all distinguished for convenience of description, and in fact, the low speed pedal 4 and the reduction shaft 6 are integrally formed together with the low speed pedal hinge 5. Of course, it can be understood that it may be molded.

In addition, the low speed pedal 4 is further provided with a non-slip plate 18 on the surface to prevent the driver's shoes from slipping easily even when wet, so as to prevent misoperation of the low speed pedal 4. The non-slip plate 18 is also known to be easily understood by those skilled in the art, as well as can be purchased and used commercially, the form is also variously commercial It can be understood that the material is also developed and supplied in various materials ranging from metal to rubber.

The low speed pedal hinge 5 is a means for hingeably attaching the low speed pedal 4 and the reduction shaft 6 which is integrally connected thereto to the scaffold housing 7, Structures can be used and it is apparent that such hinge structures are well known to those skilled in the art.

The scaffold housing 7 functions as a base on which the low speed pedal 4 is hingedly fixed, which is usually located below the brake pedal 1 for convenience of operation.

The brake pedal 1 is the same as or similar to the brake pedal 1 of the conventional automobile fixed to the brake shaft 2, and can use the brake pedal of a conventional automobile as it is.

At this time, the brake pedal 1 and the low speed pedal 4 are spaced apart from each other except when the driver presses the foot, and the deceleration and brake braking are performed by the low speed pedal 4 by the spaced intervals. It is possible to prevent the sections from overlapping each other, and this may allow the driver to step on the brake pedal 1 at a sufficiently high speed with a foot when braking for stopping so that braking may be performed without acceleration at all. have.

The acceleration cable 9 is the same as or similar to the conventional acceleration cable used to adjust the rotational speed of the engine of the vehicle is connected to the accelerator pedal in a conventional vehicle, in particular can be used as it is connected to the carburettor as it is have.

The pedal return spring (8) is for returning to the original position at the time of change around the low speed pedal (5) of the low speed pedal (4) and the reduction shaft (6) mounted directly connected thereto. Function to provide resilience.

In the above-described configuration, in particular, the low speed pedal 4 is variable so that the low speed pedal 4 is variable in the variable direction of the brake pedal 1, that is, in the operation direction of the brake pedal 1 for deceleration and braking. The deceleration shaft 6, which is fixed to the low speed pedal 4 and is fixedly mounted to the low speed pedal 4, is mounted in the variable direction of the brake pedal 1 by the low speed pedal hinge 5. And can be varied in the opposite direction.

In addition, the acceleration cable 9 connected to the deceleration shaft 6 should be connected to the brake pedal 1 in such a way that the brake pedal 1 is not pressed by the driving state, that is, the acceleration state is maximized in a freely laid state.

Accordingly, when the brake pedal 1 is in a running state, the acceleration cable 9 is in an acceleration state that maximizes the rotational speed of the engine, and when the brake pedal 1 is operated in a decelerated or stopped state, As a result, the acceleration cable 9 gradually relaxes, and eventually becomes fully relaxed, and becomes an unaccelerated state in which the engine is in an idling state with no load rotation.

At this time, the operation of the brake pedal 1 is connected to the accelerator cable 9 for the simultaneous operation of the brake pedal 1 and the acceleration cable 9, and the low pressure to maintain the state in contact with the brake pedal (1) It is operated by the high speed pedal 4, so that instead of selectively operating the brake pedal 1 or the accelerator pedal which are separately formed as in a conventional vehicle, the driver may use only one low speed pedal 4 instead. By operating, the acceleration, deceleration and stop state can be arbitrarily adjusted.

However, the acceleration state at this time is different from being accelerated by increasing the degree of compression by pressing the accelerator pedal of the conventional vehicle, the degree of compression in the state of pressing the low-speed pedal 4 according to the present invention as described above It is characterized by the fact that it is accelerated by decreasing. That is, when the driver steps on the low speed pedal 4, the driver is in the same state as not pressing the conventional accelerator, so that the driver does not pull the acceleration cable 9, thereby becoming a non-accelerated state. If the step (4) is not stepped on, the pedal return spring (8) returns to its original position and is in the same state as the step of the conventional accelerator, and the acceleration cable (9) is pulled, and thus may be in an accelerated state. .

The low speed pedal 4 and the reduction shaft 6 mounted so that the variable direction of the brake pedal 1 and the variable direction of the acceleration cable 9 are symmetrically changed by the low speed pedal hinge 5. By the configuration according to the present invention is configured to be changed in the opposite direction by) only the driver can operate the brake pedal (1) and the operation of the acceleration cable (9) at the same time by operating only the low-speed pedal (4) do.

In addition, the pedal return spring 8 connected to the deceleration shaft 6 in a direction opposite to the acceleration cable 9 has the low speed pedal 4 in its maximum acceleration state, that is, the brake pedal 1 in its running state. The low speed pedal 4 and the brake pedal 1 contacting the low speed pedal 4 and the brake pedal 1 in contact with the lower speed pedal 4 are tensioned to have a restoring force. .

Therefore, in a state in which the driver does not press the low speed pedal 4, both the low speed pedal 4 and the brake pedal 1 are allowed to maintain a variable maximum range, that is, a freely laid state, and the acceleration at this time Acceleration is achieved by keeping the cable 9 pulled to the maximum, and the pedal return spring 8 is tensioned and accelerated in proportion to the driver pressing the low speed pedal 4 for deceleration or stop. It is possible to reduce and minimize the engine speed by reducing the tension of the cable (9), and to re-run the pedal return spring simply by releasing the compression of the low speed pedal (4) as described above. (8) It automatically returns to the normal driving state and acceleration state, and it is possible to operate normally. It is able to.

The acceleration cable 9 may be further connected to an acceleration cable adjusting wire 13 for adjusting the length thereof, and the acceleration cable adjusting wire 13 may be an acceleration cable fixing tool for fixing an end of the acceleration cable 9. 10) The total length of the acceleration cable 9 can be adjusted by pulling or relaxing, thereby arbitrarily adjusting the number of revolutions of the engine. It is possible to prevent the breakage of the starting or the rolling of the vehicle down the slope by releasing the vehicle and starting safely.

Control of the acceleration cable 9 by the acceleration cable control wire 13, the acceleration cable fixing sphere 10 to which the acceleration cable control wire 13 is connected in a linear direction by a separate variable sphere guide section (14). It can be made to be constantly guided and adjusted, it is apparent that such a configuration can be easily understood by those skilled in the art.

In addition, the reduction shaft 6 may be further connected to the parking stop cable 15 in the same direction as the acceleration cable (9), which is the maximum tension on the reduction shaft (6) during parking and / or stop of the vehicle By making it impossible to change in this state, both the low speed pedal 4 connected thereto and the brake pedal 1 in contact therewith are kept at maximum pressure and the acceleration cable 9 is kept at maximum relaxation state to start the engine. In this state, the engine can be kept idle without idling and the entire vehicle can be braked to prevent movement.

The parking cable 15 may be fixed to the scaffolding housing 7 by the parking cable fixing hole 16, and is also connected to a normal hand brake so that the parking cable 15 is maximized in the parking state of the hand brake. The state of the brake pedal 1 can be maintained in the maximum pressure state according to the tensioned state, and in the traveling state of the hand brake, the reverse direction can be achieved, and the hand brake of the parking stop cable 15 as described above. It is obvious that the connection to and the attachment to the parking cable fixing tool 16 for fixing the end of the parking cable 15 are all well known to those skilled in the art. will be.

Therefore, according to the present invention, all of the acceleration, deceleration, and stop can be performed by only one low-speed pedal 4, so that the princess time and the princess caused by the operation between the separated accelerator pedal and the brake pedal 1 can be performed. Minimize the distance to make the maximum braking possible structurally, simplifying the operation and simplifying the operation, and at the same time minimizing the risk of collisions or collisions in case of accidents, and prevents heavy and large accidents. It is effective in reducing accidents.

In addition, according to the present invention, all of the acceleration, deceleration, and stop can be achieved by the operation of one low-speed pedal 4 as described above, thereby facilitating the driving operation, and caused by adjusting the plurality of pedals. It has the effect of reducing fatigue.

Although the present invention has been described in detail only with respect to the embodiments described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes are possible within the technical spirit of the present invention, and such modifications and modifications belong to the appended utility model claims. will be.
