　図２において、自動車用運転補助装置１０は、ブレーキペダル押圧部材１５と、アクセルペダル押圧部材１６と、手動操作部材１７と、ベースプレート１８と、ベースプレート固定部材１９とを備える。自動車用運転補助装置１０を使用することにより、自動車１１の幅方向Ｗ（以下、単に幅方向という）に並んで設けられているブレーキペダル２１及びアクセルペダル２２を足で踏み込む代わりに、手動操作部材１７を手で操作して自動車のブレーキ操作及びアクセル操作を手動で行うことが可能である。 In FIG. 2, the automobile driving assistance device 10 includes a brake pedal pressing member 15, an accelerator pedal pressing member 16, a manual operation member 17, a base plate 18, and a base plate fixing member 19. By using the driving assistance device 10 for automobiles, instead of stepping on the brake pedal 21 and the accelerator pedal 22 provided side by side in the width direction W (hereinafter simply referred to as the width direction) of the automobile 11, a manually operated member It is possible to manually operate the brake operation and the accelerator operation of the automobile by operating 17.
　本実施形態では、手動操作部材１７を初期位置Ｎから自動車１１の前方側（以下、単に前方側という）のＢ方向へ押し込む操作を手動ブレーキ操作とし、手動操作部材１７を初期位置ＮからＢ方向とは反対、すなわち自動車１１の後方側（以下、単に後方側という）のＡ方向へ引っ張る操作を手動アクセル操作とする。手動ブレーキ操作が行われた場合は、ブレーキペダル押圧部材１５が前方側に動いてブレーキペダル２１を押圧する。手動アクセル操作が行われた場合は、アクセルペダル押圧部材１６が前方側に動いてアクセルペダル２２を押圧する。なお、手動操作部材１７が初期位置Ｎにある場合には、手動ブレーキ操作と手動アクセル操作が行われない状態、すなわち、ニュートラルの状態とされる。 In the present embodiment, an operation of pushing the manual operation member 17 from the initial position N in the B direction on the front side of the automobile 11 (hereinafter simply referred to as the front side) is a manual brake operation, and the manual operation member 17 is moved from the initial position N to the B direction.

The brake roller 15b rolls on the brake pedal 21 and presses the brake pedal 21 in response to a manual brake operation. The diameter of the brake roller 15b is designed so that the brake roller 15b does not fall off the brake pedal 21 even when full braking is performed. The diameter of the brake roller 15b is preferably 6.0 to 7.0 cm, for example, 6.3 cm.
　アクセルペダル押圧部材１６は、アクセル用アーム１６ａと、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂとを有する。アクセル用アーム１６ａは、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂを回転自在に支持している。アクセル用アーム１６ａは、手動アクセル操作が行われた場合には、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂを前方側へ移動させる。アクセル用ローラー１６ｂは、自動車用運転補助装置１０をフロア１３に取り付けた状態ではアクセルペダル２２と当接する。アクセル用ローラー１６ｂは、手動アクセル操作に応じて、アクセルペダル２２上を転動し、アクセルペダル２２を押圧する。なお、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂの直径は、アクセル全開とした場合でもアクセル用ローラー１６ｂがアクセルペダル２２上から脱落しないように設計されている。アクセル用ローラー１６ｂの直径は、６．０～７．０ｃｍであることが好ましく、例えば６．３ｃｍである。 The accelerator pedal pressing member 16 has an accelerator arm 16a and an accelerator roller 16b. The accelerator arm 16a rotatably supports the accelerator roller 16b. The accelerator arm 16a moves the accelerator roller 16b forward when a manual accelerator operation is performed. The accelerator roller 16b contacts the accelerator pedal 22 in a state where the automobile driving assistance device 10 is attached to the floor 13. The accelerator roller 16b rolls on the accelerator pedal 22 and presses the accelerator pedal 22 in response to a manual accelerator operation. The diameter of the accelerator roller 16b is designed so that the accelerator roller 16b does not fall off the accelerator pedal 22 even when the accelerator is fully opened. The diameter of the accelerator roller 16b is preferably 6.0 to 7.0 cm, for example, 6.3 cm.
　ブレーキ用アーム１５ａとアクセル用アーム１６ａは、アーム回転機構２４（本発明の「回転機構」に相当する）によって、互いに異なる方向へ作動される。 The brake arm 15a and the accelerator arm 16a are operated in different directions by an arm rotation mechanism 24 (corresponding to the “rotation mechanism” of the present invention).
　図３に示すように、アーム回転機構２４は、第１の回転軸２５と、第２の回転軸２６と、第１の歯車２７と、第２の歯車２８と、第１～第３の軸支持プレート２９～３１とを有している。なお、図３では、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａとアクセル用アーム１６ａとアーム回転機構２４の関係がわかりやすいように、手動操作部材１７、ベースプレート固定部材１９、及び後述するアクセル規制部材５３を省略している。 As shown in FIG. 3, the arm rotating mechanism 24 includes a first rotating shaft 25, a second rotating shaft 26, a first gear 27, a second gear 28, and first to third shafts. And support plates 29 to 31. In FIG. 3, the manual operation member 17, the base plate fixing member 19, and an accelerator restriction member 53 described later are omitted so that the relationship among the brake arm 15 a, the accelerator arm 16 a, and the arm rotation mechanism 24 can be easily understood.
　第１の回転軸２５は、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａに設けられた回転軸用挿通孔（図示せず）に挿通されている。第１の回転軸２５とブレーキ用アーム１５ａとは、ネジ（図示せず。本発明の「角度固定部材」に相当する）などで固定されている。ネジを外すことで、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａは、アーム回転機構２４とは独立して、ベースプレート１８に対する角度θ１（図１０参照）が調整可能である。一方、ネジで固定することで、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａを所望の角度に固定することが可能である。 The first rotary shaft 25 is inserted through a rotary shaft insertion hole (not shown) provided in the brake arm 15a. The first rotary shaft 25 and the brake arm 15a are fixed by screws (not shown, corresponding to the “angle fixing member” of the present invention) or the like. By removing the screw, the angle θ1 (see FIG. 10) relative to the base plate 18 of the brake arm 15a can be adjusted independently of the arm rotation mechanism 24. On the other hand, by fixing with a screw, the brake arm 15a can be fixed at a desired angle.
　第１の回転軸２５は、一端が第１の軸支持プレート２９に軸支され、他端が第２の軸支持プレート３０に軸支され、その途中が第３の軸支持プレート３１に形成された開口（図示せず）に挿通されている。なお、第１～第３の軸支持プレート２９～３１は、後述するベースプレート１８の長手方向に沿って立設されている。 One end of the first rotating shaft 25 is pivotally supported by the first shaft support plate 29, the other end is pivotally supported by the second shaft support plate 30, and the middle is formed on the third shaft support plate 31. Is inserted into an opening (not shown). The first to third shaft support plates 29 to 31 are erected along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 18 to be described later.
　第２の回転軸２６は、アクセル用アーム１６ａに設けられた回転軸用挿通孔（図示せず）に挿通されている。第２の回転軸２６とアクセル用アーム１６ａとは、ネジ３２（本発明の「角度固定部材」に相当する）で固定されている。ネジ３２を外すことで、アクセル用アーム１６ａは、アーム回転機構２４とは独立して、ベースプレート１８に対する角度θ２（図１０参照）が調整可能である。一方、ネジ３２で固定することで、アクセル用アーム１６ａを所望の角度に固定することが可能である。 The second rotating shaft 26 is inserted into a rotating shaft insertion hole (not shown) provided in the accelerator arm 16a. The second rotary shaft 26 and the accelerator arm 16a are fixed by a screw 32 (corresponding to the “angle fixing member” of the present invention). By removing the screw 32, the accelerator arm 16 a can adjust the angle θ <b> 2 (see FIG. 10) with respect to the base plate 18 independently of the arm rotation mechanism 24. On the other hand, by fixing with the screw 32, the accelerator arm 16a can be fixed at a desired angle.
　第２の回転軸２６は、一端が第３の軸支持プレート３１に軸支され、他端が第２の軸支持プレート３０に軸支されている。第２の回転軸２６は、例えば、第１の回転軸２５よりも後方側であり、かつ、ベースプレート１８に対し高い位置に配されている（図２参照）。 The second rotating shaft 26 has one end pivotally supported by the third shaft support plate 31 and the other end pivotally supported by the second shaft support plate 30. The second rotating shaft 26 is, for example, disposed behind the first rotating shaft 25 and at a higher position with respect to the base plate 18 (see FIG. 2).
　第１の歯車２７は、第１の回転軸２５にネジなどで固定されており、第１の回転軸２５と一体となって回転する。 The first gear 27 is fixed to the first rotating shaft 25 with a screw or the like, and rotates together with the first rotating shaft 25.
　第２の歯車２８は、第２の回転軸２６にネジなどで固定されており、第２の回転軸２６と一体となって回転する。第２の歯車２８は、第１の歯車２７に対応する位置に配されており、第１の歯車２７と噛合する。 The second gear 28 is fixed to the second rotating shaft 26 with a screw or the like, and rotates integrally with the second rotating shaft 26. The second gear 28 is disposed at a position corresponding to the first gear 27 and meshes with the first gear 27.
　第１の歯車２７と第２の歯車２８とが噛合することにより、第１の回転軸２５と第２の回転軸２６とは、互いに反対方向へ回転することが可能とされている。このため、例えば、第１の回転軸２５がＸ方向へ回転した場合は、第２の回転軸２６がＸ方向とは反対のＹ方向へ回転する（図１８参照）。このとき、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａは、第１の回転軸２５を中心としてＸ方向へ回転し、アクセル用アーム１６ａは、第２の回転軸２６を中心としてＹ方向へ回転する。 When the first gear 27 and the second gear 28 mesh with each other, the first rotating shaft 25 and the second rotating shaft 26 can rotate in opposite directions. Therefore, for example, when the first rotation shaft 25 rotates in the X direction, the second rotation shaft 26 rotates in the Y direction opposite to the X direction (see FIG. 18). At this time, the brake arm 15a rotates in the X direction around the first rotation shaft 25, and the accelerator arm 16a rotates in the Y direction around the second rotation shaft 26.
　なお、本実施形態では、手動ブレーキ操作、すなわち、手動操作部材１７がＢ方向へ操作された場合に、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａ及び第１の回転軸２５がＸ方向へ回転し、アクセル用アーム１６ａ及び第２の回転軸２６がＹ方向へ回転する（図１８参照）。一方、手動アクセル操作、すなわち、手動操作部材１７がＡ方向へ操作された場合に、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａ及び第１の回転軸２５がＹ方向へ回転し、アクセル用アーム１６ａ及び第２の回転軸２６がＸ方向へ回転する（図１９参照）。 In the present embodiment, when the manual brake operation, that is, when the manual operation member 17 is operated in the B direction, the brake arm 15a and the first rotating shaft 25 rotate in the X direction, and the accelerator arm 16a and The second rotating shaft 26 rotates in the Y direction (see FIG. 18). On the other hand, when the manual accelerator operation, that is, when the manual operation member 17 is operated in the A direction, the brake arm 15a and the first rotating shaft 25 rotate in the Y direction, and the accelerator arm 16a and the second rotating shaft are rotated. 26 rotates in the X direction (see FIG. 19).

The gear cover 33 is disposed so as to cover at least the periphery of the first gear 27 and the second gear 28, and is fixed to the second shaft support plate 30 and the third shaft support plate 31, for example, with screws. In order to allow the accelerator arm 16a to rotate in the Y direction, the gear cover 33 is formed with a notch 33a from the front side to the rear side. When adjusting the angle θ2 of the accelerator arm 16a, the screw 32 can be tightened or loosened through the notch 33a.
　図５に示すように、手動操作部材１７は、グリップ部４２と、第１のロッド４３と、第２のロッド４４と、長さ調節部材４５と、連結部４６とを有している。グリップ部４２は、例えば、幅方向Ｗに沿って延びる円柱形状をしており、運転者が手で握る部分である。 As shown in FIG. 5, the manual operation member 17 includes a grip portion 42, a first rod 43, a second rod 44, a length adjusting member 45, and a connecting portion 46. The grip part 42 has, for example, a cylindrical shape extending along the width direction W, and is a part that the driver grips with his hand.
　第１のロッド４３は、円筒または円柱形状をしており、一端が、グリップ部４２の幅方向Ｗの途中（例えば、ほぼ中間部分）に接続されている。第１のロッド４３の他端は自由端である。第１のロッド４３には、後述する長さ調節部材４５のネジ部材４８と螺合するネジ穴４３ａが形成されている。 The first rod 43 has a cylindrical or columnar shape, and one end is connected to the middle of the grip portion 42 in the width direction W (for example, approximately the middle portion). The other end of the first rod 43 is a free end. The first rod 43 is formed with a screw hole 43a that is screwed into a screw member 48 of a length adjusting member 45 described later.
　第２のロッド４４は、円筒形状をしており、内径が第１のロッド４３の外径よりも大きくされている。第２のロッド４４は、一端から、第１のロッド４３の他端が挿入可能とされている。第２のロッド４４には、後述するネジ部材４８を挿通するための開口４４ａが形成されている。開口４４ａは、第２のロッド４４の軸方向に伸びている。 The second rod 44 has a cylindrical shape, and the inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the first rod 43. The second rod 44 can be inserted into the other end of the first rod 43 from one end. The second rod 44 is formed with an opening 44a for inserting a screw member 48 described later. The opening 44 a extends in the axial direction of the second rod 44.
　長さ調節部材４５は、手動操作部材１７の長さを調節するためのものである。長さ調節部材４５は、挟持部材４７と、ネジ部材４８とで構成される。 The length adjusting member 45 is for adjusting the length of the manual operation member 17. The length adjusting member 45 includes a clamping member 47 and a screw member 48.
　挟持部材４７は、第２のロッド４４とネジ部材４８との間に配される。挟持部材４７には、ネジ部材４８を挿通するための開口４７ａが形成されている。 The clamping member 47 is disposed between the second rod 44 and the screw member 48. The holding member 47 is formed with an opening 47 a for inserting the screw member 48.
　ネジ部材４８は、第１のロッド４３を第２のロッド４４に挿入した状態で、挟持部材４７の開口４７ａ及び第２のロッド４４の開口４４ａを介して、第１のロッド４３のネジ穴４３ａに螺合される。 The screw member 48 is a screw hole 43a of the first rod 43 through the opening 47a of the clamping member 47 and the opening 44a of the second rod 44 in a state where the first rod 43 is inserted into the second rod 44. Screwed onto.
　ネジ部材４８が締められた場合は、第１のロッド４３と挟持部材４７とにより第２のロッド４４が挟持される。これにより、第２のロッド４４に対する第１のロッド４３の移動が規制され、手動操作部材１７の長さが固定とされる。 When the screw member 48 is tightened, the second rod 44 is clamped by the first rod 43 and the clamping member 47. Thereby, the movement of the first rod 43 relative to the second rod 44 is restricted, and the length of the manual operation member 17 is fixed.
　一方、図６に示すように、ネジ部材４８が緩められた場合は、第２のロッド４４に対する第１のロッド４３の移動が開口４４ａの範囲内で許容され、手動操作部材１７の長さを調整することが可能とされる。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the screw member 48 is loosened, the movement of the first rod 43 relative to the second rod 44 is allowed within the range of the opening 44a, and the length of the manual operation member 17 is increased. It is possible to adjust.
　図７に示すように、連結部４６は、２枚の平板４６ａを有し、これら２枚の平板４６ａによって手動操作部材１７とブレーキ用アーム１５ａとを連結する。平板４６ａの一端は、手動操作部材１７の他端と固定されている。平板４６ａの他端は、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａに挿通された連結軸４６ｂに対して回転可能に軸支されている。これにより、手動操作部材１７が自動車１１の高さ方向、すなわち上下方向（以下、単に上下方向という）に多少動いたとしても、その上下方向に動く力が連結部４６で吸収され、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａに直接加わる力が軽減される。また、手動操作部材１７を持ち上げることにより、運転者が運転席１２へ容易に乗り降りすることが可能である。 As shown in FIG. 7, the connecting portion 46 has two flat plates 46a, and the manual operation member 17 and the brake arm 15a are connected by the two flat plates 46a. One end of the flat plate 46 a is fixed to the other end of the manual operation member 17. The other end of the flat plate 46a is rotatably supported with respect to a connecting shaft 46b inserted through the brake arm 15a. As a result, even if the manual operation member 17 moves slightly in the height direction of the automobile 11, that is, in the vertical direction (hereinafter simply referred to as the vertical direction), the force that moves in the vertical direction is absorbed by the connecting portion 46, and the brake arm The force directly applied to 15a is reduced. Further, the driver can easily get on and off the driver's seat 12 by lifting the manual operation member 17.
　図８に示すように、ベースプレート１８は、矩形形状をした平面部１８ａと、平面部１８ａの４辺からほぼ垂直に立設した４つの側面部１８ｂとで構成される。すなわち、ベースプレート１８は、下面が開口した箱形をしている。ベースプレート１８は、平面部１８ａの長手方向が自動車１１の幅方向Ｗに沿うように、フロア１３に配される。ベースプレート１８を配置する向きは、手動ブレーキ操作及び手動アクセル操作を可能とするために、ブレーキペダル押圧部材１５がブレーキペダル２１に対応し、アクセルペダル押圧部材１６がアクセルペダル２２に対応する向きとされる。 As shown in FIG. 8, the base plate 18 is composed of a rectangular planar portion 18a and four side portions 18b erected almost vertically from the four sides of the planar portion 18a. That is, the base plate 18 has a box shape with an open bottom surface. The base plate 18 is arranged on the floor 13 so that the longitudinal direction of the flat portion 18 a is along the width direction W of the automobile 11. The direction in which the base plate 18 is disposed is such that the brake pedal pressing member 15 corresponds to the brake pedal 21 and the accelerator pedal pressing member 16 corresponds to the accelerator pedal 22 in order to enable manual brake operation and manual accelerator operation. The
　図９に示すように、平面部１８ａの上面には、アーム回転機構２４と、操作ガイド部材５２と、アクセル規制部材５３と、ベースプレート固定部材１９を位置決めするための位置決め部材５４とが設けられている。平面部１８ａの下面には、フロア１３に対するベースプレート１８の傾きを調節するための傾き調節部材６６が設けられている（図８参照）。 As shown in FIG. 9, an arm rotation mechanism 24, an operation guide member 52, an accelerator restricting member 53, and a positioning member 54 for positioning the base plate fixing member 19 are provided on the upper surface of the flat portion 18 a. Yes. An inclination adjusting member 66 for adjusting the inclination of the base plate 18 with respect to the floor 13 is provided on the lower surface of the flat portion 18a (see FIG. 8).
　操作ガイド部材５２は、手動操作部材１７をベースプレート１８から一定の高さに支持するとともに、手動操作部材１７が幅方向Ｗへ動くことを規制することで、手動操作部材１７をＡ方向またはＢ方向へ確実に操作できるようにガイドする。すなわち、操作ガイド部材５２は、手動操作部材１７を、手動ブレーキ操作または手動アクセル操作の操作方向に従ってガイドする。操作ガイド部材５２は、基台５６と、ロッド支持部５７とを有する。 The operation guide member 52 supports the manual operation member 17 at a certain height from the base plate 18 and restricts the manual operation member 17 from moving in the width direction W, thereby moving the manual operation member 17 in the A direction or the B direction. Guide to ensure reliable operation. That is, the operation guide member 52 guides the manual operation member 17 in accordance with the operation direction of manual brake operation or manual accelerator operation. The operation guide member 52 includes a base 56 and a rod support portion 57.
　基台５６は、ベースプレート１８に対し、例えばボルト及びナットなどで固定されている。基台５６は、ブレーキペダル押圧部材１５と対向する板状の平板部５６ａを有する。平板部５６ａには、後述するロッド支持部５７の取付部材６０を挿通するための開口５８が形成されている。開口５８は、上下方向に延びており、例えば幅方向Ｗに沿って２つ並んでいる。 The base 56 is fixed to the base plate 18 with, for example, bolts and nuts. The base 56 has a plate-like flat plate portion 56 a facing the brake pedal pressing member 15. The flat plate portion 56a is formed with an opening 58 for inserting a mounting member 60 of a rod support portion 57 described later. The openings 58 extend in the vertical direction, and two openings 58 are arranged along the width direction W, for example.
　ロッド支持部５７は、平板形状をしており、上端に切り欠き部５７ａを有する。この切り欠き部５７ａに第２のロッド４４が支持される。ロッド支持部５７の下端側には、取付部材６０が設けられている。 The rod support part 57 has a flat plate shape and has a notch part 57a at the upper end. The second rod 44 is supported by the notch 57a. An attachment member 60 is provided on the lower end side of the rod support portion 57.
　取付部材６０は、基台５６の両開口５８に対応する位置にそれぞれ２つずつ、合計４つ設けられている。取付部材６０は、例えば、ネジである。ネジの頭部は、開口５８を通らないように、少なくとも開口５８の幅方向Ｗの長さよりも大きくされる。このため、取付部材６０を開口５８に通した状態で締めた場合には、基台５６とロッド支持部５７とが一体に固定される。すなわち、基台５６に対するロッド支持部５７の移動が規制される。 The attachment member 60 is provided in a total of four, two each at a position corresponding to both openings 58 of the base 56. The attachment member 60 is, for example, a screw. The head of the screw is made larger than at least the length in the width direction W of the opening 58 so as not to pass through the opening 58. For this reason, when the attachment member 60 is tightened in a state of passing through the opening 58, the base 56 and the rod support portion 57 are fixed integrally. That is, the movement of the rod support 57 with respect to the base 56 is restricted.
　一方、取付部材６０が緩められた場合には、開口５８の範囲内でロッド支持部５７の移動が許容される。このようにロッド支持部５７の高さを調節可能とすることにより、運転者の身長などに合わせて、グリップ部４２を所定の高さに調節することができる。なお、図９は、ロッド支持部５７の高さを最大とした形態を示している。 On the other hand, when the attachment member 60 is loosened, the rod support portion 57 is allowed to move within the range of the opening 58. Thus, by making the height of the rod support part 57 adjustable, the grip part 42 can be adjusted to a predetermined height in accordance with the height of the driver. FIG. 9 shows a form in which the height of the rod support portion 57 is maximized.
　図１０に示すように、アクセル規制部材５３は、手動アクセル操作が行われ、アクセルペダル押圧部材１６がＸ方向（すなわち、アクセルペダル２２側）へ回転した場合に、その角度θ２が一定の角度以上となることを規制する。アクセル規制部材５３は、支柱６２と、回転規制部６３とを有する。 As shown in FIG. 10, when the accelerator regulating member 53 is operated manually and the accelerator pedal pressing member 16 rotates in the X direction (that is, the accelerator pedal 22 side), the angle θ2 is equal to or larger than a certain angle. To be The accelerator restricting member 53 has a support 62 and a rotation restricting portion 63.
　支柱６２は、操作ガイド部材５２とブレーキ用アーム１５ａとの間に配され、ベースプレート１８に対し、例えばボルト及びナットなどで固定されている（図９参照）。支柱６２は、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａに対応する平板部６２ａを有している。この平板部６２ａに回転規制部６３が取り付けられている。 The support column 62 is disposed between the operation guide member 52 and the brake arm 15a, and is fixed to the base plate 18 with, for example, bolts and nuts (see FIG. 9). The support column 62 has a flat plate portion 62a corresponding to the brake arm 15a. A rotation restricting portion 63 is attached to the flat plate portion 62a.
　回転規制部６３は、手動アクセル操作によりブレーキ用アーム１５ａがＹ方向へ回転し、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａの角度θ１が所定の角度となった場合に、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａと当接する。これにより、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａのＹ方向への回転が規制され、手動操作部材１７をＡ方向へ引っ張ることができなくなり、アクセル用アーム１６ａのＸ方向への回転も規制される。すなわち、手動操作部材１７がＡ方向に操作され、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａがＹ方向へ回転する一方で、アクセル用アーム１６ａがＸ方向へ回転し、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａが回転規制部６３と当接した場合に、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａのＹ方向への回転が規制されたことに伴って、アクセル用アーム１６ａのＸ方向への回転が規制される。回転規制部６３は、例えばネジであり、軸回転することにより前後方向への移動が可能とされている。この回転規制部６３の位置を調整することにより、アクセル用アーム１６ａのＸ方向への回転を規制する角度（一定の角度）が調整可能である。 The rotation restricting portion 63 comes into contact with the brake arm 15a when the brake arm 15a rotates in the Y direction by a manual accelerator operation and the angle θ1 of the brake arm 15a becomes a predetermined angle. As a result, rotation of the brake arm 15a in the Y direction is restricted, the manual operation member 17 cannot be pulled in the A direction, and rotation of the accelerator arm 16a in the X direction is also restricted. That is, the manual operation member 17 is operated in the A direction, the brake arm 15a rotates in the Y direction, while the accelerator arm 16a rotates in the X direction, and the brake arm 15a contacts the rotation restricting portion 63. In this case, as the rotation of the brake arm 15a in the Y direction is restricted, the rotation of the accelerator arm 16a in the X direction is restricted. The rotation restricting portion 63 is, for example, a screw, and can move in the front-rear direction by rotating the shaft. By adjusting the position of the rotation restricting portion 63, the angle (constant angle) for restricting the rotation of the accelerator arm 16a in the X direction can be adjusted.
　図１１に示すように、位置決め部材５４は、ベースプレート１８の上面において、前方側に、例えばネジで固定されている。位置決め部材５４は、ベースプレート１８の長手方向、すなわち、自動車１１の幅方向Ｗに沿って２つ配列されている。これにより、ベースプレート固定部材１９を車種に応じた適切な位置に取り付けることが可能とされる。 As shown in FIG. 11, the positioning member 54 is fixed to the front side of the upper surface of the base plate 18 with, for example, a screw. Two positioning members 54 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 18, that is, along the width direction W of the automobile 11. Thereby, it is possible to attach the base plate fixing member 19 to an appropriate position according to the vehicle type.
　位置決め部材５４は、ベースプレート固定部材１９の位置を決めて、ベースプレート固定部材１９がベースプレート１８上で移動することを防止する。位置決め部材５４は、ベースプレート固定部材１９の外形に応じて開口が形成された枠形状をしている。本実施形態では、後述するベースプレート固定部材１９の台座７２が円筒形状をしているため、開口は円形とされている。位置決め部材５４に形成された開口に台座７２が嵌合されることにより位置決めが行われる（図１４参照）。 The positioning member 54 determines the position of the base plate fixing member 19 and prevents the base plate fixing member 19 from moving on the base plate 18. The positioning member 54 has a frame shape in which an opening is formed according to the outer shape of the base plate fixing member 19. In this embodiment, since the base 72 of the base plate fixing member 19 described later has a cylindrical shape, the opening is circular. Positioning is performed by fitting the pedestal 72 into an opening formed in the positioning member 54 (see FIG. 14).

The inclination adjusting member 66 can be moved in the vertical direction by loosening both nuts 68 and rotating the shaft. Specifically, the tilt adjusting member 66 is displaceable between a retracted position where the head 66b is retracted below the lower end of the side surface portion 18b and a protruding position where the head portion 66b protrudes below the lower end of the side surface portion 18b. ing. Thereby, the inclination of the base plate 18 with respect to the floor 13 can be adjusted. Two inclination adjusting members 66 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the base plate 18, that is, the width direction W of the automobile 11 (see FIG. 8).
　図１３に示すように、ベースプレート固定部材１９は、フロア１３の上に置かれたベースプレート１８が所定位置から移動することを防止するために、ベースプレート１８とダッシュボード６９とを突っ張ることにより、ベースプレート１８をフロア１３に押し付けて固定させる。 As shown in FIG. 13, the base plate fixing member 19 is formed by stretching the base plate 18 and the dashboard 69 to prevent the base plate 18 placed on the floor 13 from moving from a predetermined position. Is pressed against the floor 13 and fixed.

The pedestal 72 has a cylindrical shape in which an opening 72b is formed on the upper surface 72a. The lower surface 72 c of the pedestal 72 is in contact with the flat surface portion 18 a of the base plate 18 through the positioning member 54. The lower surface 72c of the pedestal 72 corresponds to the “lower surface” in the elastic member of the present invention.
　軸部材７３は、円筒または円柱形状をしており、外径が台座７２の内径（すなわち、開口７２ｂの直径）より小さくされている。軸部材７３は、軸方向の一端が開口７２ｂから台座７２内に挿入され、軸方向に沿って移動自在に支持される。 The shaft member 73 has a cylindrical or columnar shape, and has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the pedestal 72 (that is, the diameter of the opening 72b). One end of the shaft member 73 in the axial direction is inserted into the pedestal 72 through the opening 72b, and is supported so as to be movable along the axial direction.
　当接部材７４は、軸部材７３の他端に接続される接続部７４ａを有する。接続部７４ａは、例えば接着剤やネジなどにより軸部材７３の他端と固定される。当接部材７４の上面７４ｂは、ベースプレート１８をフロア１３に固定させる際に、ダッシュボード６９と当接する。上面７４ｂは、例えばウレタンやゴムなどの弾性部材により形成されており、ダッシュボード６９と当接した場合に、ダッシュボード６９の形状に応じて弾性変形する。当接部材７４の上面７４ｂは、本発明の伸縮部材における「上面」に対応する。 The contact member 74 has a connection portion 74 a connected to the other end of the shaft member 73. The connecting portion 74a is fixed to the other end of the shaft member 73 by, for example, an adhesive or a screw. The upper surface 74 b of the contact member 74 contacts the dashboard 69 when the base plate 18 is fixed to the floor 13. The upper surface 74 b is formed of an elastic member such as urethane or rubber, for example, and elastically deforms according to the shape of the dashboard 69 when it comes into contact with the dashboard 69. The upper surface 74b of the contact member 74 corresponds to the “upper surface” in the elastic member of the present invention.
　長さ固定部材７１は、台座７２に設けられており、伸縮部材７０の長さを固定する。長さ固定部材７１は、例えば、ネジであり、締められた場合に、台座７２に対する軸部材７３の移動を規制し、緩められた場合に、台座７２に対する軸部材７３の移動を許容する。 The length fixing member 71 is provided on the pedestal 72 and fixes the length of the elastic member 70. The length fixing member 71 is, for example, a screw, and restricts the movement of the shaft member 73 with respect to the pedestal 72 when tightened, and allows the movement of the shaft member 73 with respect to the pedestal 72 when loosened.

Put it in a state. Next, the accelerator arm 16a is rotated in the X direction (that is, the accelerator pedal 22 side) around the second rotation shaft 26. Then, the accelerator roller 16 b is brought into contact with the accelerator pedal 22. In this state, the accelerator roller 16b and the second rotating shaft 26 are fixed by the screw 32. That is, the accelerator pedal pressing member 16 is fixed at an angle that makes contact with the accelerator pedal 22. The accelerator roller 16b is not directly brought into contact with the accelerator pedal 22, but in a state where a certain gap is provided between the accelerator roller 16b and the accelerator pedal 22, the accelerator roller 16b and the second roller The rotating shaft 26 may be fixed.
　次に、図１７に示すように、ベースプレート固定部材１９の伸縮部材７０を伸長させ、上面７４ｂをダッシュボード６９に当接させる。さらに伸縮部材７０を一定の長さに伸長させることにより、ベースプレート１８をフロア１３側の下方向Ｄｎ（本発明の「第１方向」に対応する。）に押し付けるとともに、ダッシュボード６９を上方向Ｕｐ（本発明の「第２方向」に対応する。）に押し付ける。具体的には、台座７２の下面７２ｃをベースプレート１８に押し付けるとともに、当接部材７４の上面７４ｂをダッシュボード６９に押し付ける。そして、この状態で、長さ固定部材７１により伸縮部材７０を一定の長さに固定する。これにより、運転席１２のフロア１３に自動車用運転補助装置１０が強固に取り付けられる。なお、長さ固定部材７１により伸縮部材７０の長さの固定を解除することで、伸縮部材７０が短縮され、自動車用運転補助装置１０をフロア１３から容易に取り外すことができる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the elastic member 70 of the base plate fixing member 19 is extended, and the upper surface 74 b is brought into contact with the dashboard 69. Further, by extending the elastic member 70 to a certain length, the base plate 18 is pressed in the downward direction Dn on the floor 13 side (corresponding to the “first direction” of the present invention), and the dashboard 69 is moved upward. (Corresponding to the “second direction” of the present invention). Specifically, the lower surface 72 c of the pedestal 72 is pressed against the base plate 18, and the upper surface 74 b of the contact member 74 is pressed against the dashboard 69. In this state, the elastic member 70 is fixed to a certain length by the length fixing member 71. As a result, the automobile driving assistance device 10 is firmly attached to the floor 13 of the driver seat 12. In addition, by releasing the fixation of the length of the expansion / contraction member 70 by the length fixing member 71, the expansion / contraction member 70 is shortened and the driving assistance apparatus 10 for motor vehicles can be easily removed from the floor 13.
　このように自動車用運転補助装置１０がフロア１３に固定された状態で、運転者は、手動操作部材１７を操作することにより、自動車１１の運転を行うことが可能となる。運転者が手動操作部材１７を操作していない場合、すなわち、手動操作部材１７が初期位置Ｎにある場合は、ニュートラル状態であり、ブレーキ用ローラー１５ｂがブレーキペダル２１と当接し、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂがアクセルペダル２２と当接しているが、各ペダル２１，２２はともに非押圧とされている。 The driver can operate the automobile 11 by operating the manual operation member 17 with the automobile driving assistance device 10 fixed to the floor 13 in this way. When the driver is not operating the manual operation member 17, that is, when the manual operation member 17 is at the initial position N, the neutral state is established, the brake roller 15b comes into contact with the brake pedal 21, and the accelerator roller 16b. Is in contact with the accelerator pedal 22, but the pedals 21 and 22 are not pressed.
　図１８に示すように、手動操作部材１７が前方側のＢ方向に押し込まれ、手動ブレーキ操作が行われると、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａが第１の回転軸２５を中心としてＸ方向に回転し、ブレーキ用ローラー１５ｂが回転しながらブレーキペダル２１を押圧する。これにより、自動車１１の制動が可能とされる。このとき、アクセル用アーム１６ａは、第２の回転軸２６を中心としてＹ方向に回転し、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂがアクセルペダル２２から離れる。 As shown in FIG. 18, when the manual operation member 17 is pushed in the B direction on the front side and a manual brake operation is performed, the brake arm 15a rotates in the X direction about the first rotation shaft 25, and the brake The roller 15b presses the brake pedal 21 while rotating. As a result, the vehicle 11 can be braked. At this time, the accelerator arm 16 a rotates in the Y direction around the second rotation shaft 26, and the accelerator roller 16 b moves away from the accelerator pedal 22.
　一方、図１９に示すように、手動操作部材１７が後方側のＡ方向に引っ張られ、手動アクセル操作が行われると、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａが第１の回転軸２５を中心としてＹ方向に回転し、ブレーキ用ローラー１５ｂがブレーキペダル２１から離れる。これと連動して、アクセル用アーム１６ａは、第２の回転軸２６を中心としてＸ方向に回転し、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂが回転しながらアクセルペダル２２を押圧する。これにより、自動車１１の加速が可能とされる。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19, when the manual operation member 17 is pulled in the A direction on the rear side and the manual accelerator operation is performed, the brake arm 15 a rotates in the Y direction about the first rotation shaft 25. The brake roller 15b is separated from the brake pedal 21. In conjunction with this, the accelerator arm 16a rotates in the X direction about the second rotation shaft 26, and the accelerator roller 16b rotates to press the accelerator pedal 22. As a result, the automobile 11 can be accelerated.
　以上のように、下肢の不自由な運転者が自動車１１を運転する場合に、ベースプレート１８とダッシュボード６９との間でベースプレート固定部材１９を伸長させて突っ張らせることにより、自動車用運転補助装置１０をフロア１３に容易かつ強固に取り付けることができる。また、自動車用運転補助装置１０は、ベースプレート固定部材１９を伸長させるだけで取り付けが可能なので、車種を選ばず、汎用性が高い。さらに、自動車用運転補助装置１０は、取り付けに要する時間が短時間で済むという効果もある。また、ベースプレート固定部材１９を縮めるだけで自動車用運転補助装置１０を容易に取り外すことができるため、健常者と自動車１１を共用する場合にも有効である。 As described above, when a driver with low limbs drives the automobile 11, the base plate fixing member 19 is extended and stretched between the base plate 18 and the dashboard 69, thereby driving the driving assistance device 10 for an automobile. Can be easily and firmly attached to the floor 13. Moreover, since the driving assistance apparatus 10 for motor vehicles can be attached only by extending | stretching the baseplate fixing member 19, it does not choose a vehicle model but versatility is high. Furthermore, the driving assistance device 10 for an automobile has an effect that a time required for attachment is short. Moreover, since the driving assistance apparatus 10 for motor vehicles can be easily removed only by shrinking the base plate fixing member 19, it is effective also when sharing the motor vehicle 11 with a healthy person.
　また、ベースプレート１８に対するブレーキ用アーム１５ａの角度θ１またはアクセル用アーム１６ａの角度θ２が調整可能とされているため、手動でブレーキ操作及びアクセル操作を行わない場合において、ブレーキペダル押圧部材１５とブレーキペダル２１との位置関係、またはアクセルペダル押圧部材１６とアクセルペダル２２との位置関係を車種に応じて調整することができる。さらに、ブレーキ用ローラー１５ｂをブレーキペダル２１に当接させるとともに、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂをアクセルペダル２２に当接させることにより、手動ブレーキ操作及び手動アクセル操作の切り替え操作時の応答性が良好である。なお、アクセル用ローラー１６ｂとアクセルペダル２２との間に一定の隙間を持たせること、またはブレーキ用ローラー１５ｂとブレーキペダル２１との間に一定の隙間を持たせることも可能であるため、運転者が所望する応答性を発揮させることもできる。 In addition, since the angle θ1 of the brake arm 15a or the angle θ2 of the accelerator arm 16a with respect to the base plate 18 can be adjusted, the brake pedal pressing member 15 and the brake pedal can be used when the brake operation and the accelerator operation are not performed manually. 21 or the positional relationship between the accelerator pedal pressing member 16 and the accelerator pedal 22 can be adjusted according to the vehicle type. Further, by bringing the brake roller 15b into contact with the brake pedal 21 and bringing the accelerator roller 16b into contact with the accelerator pedal 22, the responsiveness at the time of switching between the manual brake operation and the manual accelerator operation is good. In addition, since it is also possible to have a certain clearance between the accelerator roller 16b and the accelerator pedal 22, or a certain clearance between the braking roller 15b and the brake pedal 21, the driver Can also exhibit the desired responsiveness.
　なお、図２０に示すように、自動車１１の車種によっては、フロア９０が傾斜するように設計されたものもある。例えば、フロア９０は、自動車１１の前方に向かうほど高くなる傾斜部を有する場合がある。このように傾斜したフロア９０にベースプレート１８が置かれ、そのベースプレート１８をベースプレート固定部材１９で固定させるためは、ベースプレート１８の上面とダッシュボード６９の下面とをほぼ平行にする必要がある。この場合に、傾き調節部材６６を突出位置とし、フロア９０に対するベースプレート１８の傾きを調節することにより、ベースプレート１８をベースプレート固定部材１９で確実に固定することができる。 Note that, as shown in FIG. 20, depending on the type of the automobile 11, the floor 90 may be designed to be inclined. For example, the floor 90 may have an inclined portion that becomes higher toward the front of the automobile 11. In order for the base plate 18 to be placed on the inclined floor 90 and the base plate 18 to be fixed by the base plate fixing member 19, the upper surface of the base plate 18 and the lower surface of the dashboard 69 need to be substantially parallel. In this case, the base plate 18 can be securely fixed by the base plate fixing member 19 by adjusting the inclination of the base plate 18 with respect to the floor 90 by using the inclination adjusting member 66 as the protruding position.
　なお、上記実施形態では、グリップ部４２は自動車１１の幅方向Ｗに沿って延びる円柱形状とされているが、グリップ部の形状はこれに限られない。例えば、図２１に示すように、グリップ部９２は、自動車１１の上方に延びる円柱形状をしたものであっても良い。この場合は、第１のロッド９３は、例えば、一端が自動車１１の上方に湾曲したＬ字形状とされ、グリップ部９２の下端と接続される。このようなグリップ部９２は、運転者が握り易く、手動ブレーキ操作及び手動アクセル操作時に力を入れ易いので、操作性を向上させるという観点では好ましい。 In the above-described embodiment, the grip portion 42 has a cylindrical shape extending along the width direction W of the automobile 11, but the shape of the grip portion is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 21, the grip portion 92 may have a cylindrical shape extending above the automobile 11. In this case, the first rod 93 has, for example, an L shape with one end curved above the automobile 11 and is connected to the lower end of the grip portion 92. Such a grip portion 92 is preferable from the viewpoint of improving operability because it is easy for the driver to grip and easy to apply force during manual brake operation and manual accelerator operation.
　また、図２２に示すように、グリップ部９４は、自動車１１の幅方向Ｗに沿って延びる第１円柱部９４ａと、第１円柱部９４ａの幅方向Ｗのほぼ中間部分から上方に延びる第２円柱部９４ｂとで構成されたものであっても良い。このようなグリップ部９４は、自動車１１の後退や停車などを行うために左右の手を入れ替えて握ることが容易であるため、操作性を向上させるという観点ではより好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 22, the grip portion 94 includes a first cylindrical portion 94a extending along the width direction W of the automobile 11, and a second portion extending upward from a substantially middle portion in the width direction W of the first cylindrical portion 94a. It may be configured with a cylindrical portion 94b. Such a grip portion 94 is more preferable from the viewpoint of improving operability because it is easy to change the left and right hands to hold the vehicle 11 backward or stop.
　なお、上記実施形態では、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａとアクセル用アーム１６ａの両方を、アーム回転機構２４とは独立して、ベースプレート１８に対する角度を調整可能としているが、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａまたはアクセル用アーム１６ａのうち少なくとも一方について、ベースプレート１８に対する角度が調整可能としても良い。 In the above embodiment, both the brake arm 15a and the accelerator arm 16a can be adjusted with respect to the base plate 18 independently of the arm rotation mechanism 24. However, the brake arm 15a or the accelerator arm 16a is adjustable. For at least one of them, the angle with respect to the base plate 18 may be adjustable.
　なお、ブレーキペダル２１とアクセルペダル２２との間の距離が車種によって異なる場合に備えて、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａを自動車１１の幅方向Ｗへ移動可能に構成しても良い。例えば、第１の回転軸２５とブレーキ用アーム１５ａとを固定させているネジを外すことで、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａの幅方向Ｗにおける位置が調整可能である。そして、ネジで固定することで、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａを幅方向Ｗにおける所望の位置に固定することが可能である。ブレーキ用アーム１５ａを自動車１１の幅方向Ｗへ移動可能に構成することに代えてまたは加えて、アクセル用アーム１６ａを幅方向Ｗへ移動可能に構成しても良い。その方法は、ブレーキ用アーム１５ａの場合と同様である。 Note that the brake arm 15a may be configured to be movable in the width direction W of the automobile 11 in case the distance between the brake pedal 21 and the accelerator pedal 22 varies depending on the vehicle type. For example, the position in the width direction W of the brake arm 15a can be adjusted by removing a screw that fixes the first rotary shaft 25 and the brake arm 15a. And it is possible to fix the arm 15a for brakes to the desired position in the width direction W by fixing with a screw | thread. Instead of or in addition to configuring the brake arm 15a to be movable in the width direction W of the automobile 11, the accelerator arm 16a may be configured to be movable in the width direction W. The method is the same as in the case of the brake arm 15a.
　なお、上記実施形態では、位置決め部材５４は、ベースプレート固定部材１９の台座７２の外形に合わせて円形の開口が形成された枠形状をしているが、これに代えて、ベースプレート１８の長手方向、すなわち、自動車１１の幅方向Ｗに沿って延びる楕円形の開口が形成された枠形状をしたものであっても良い。この場合は、ベースプレート固定部材１９の位置を幅方向Ｗへ微調整することが可能である。また、位置決め部材５４は、３つ以上設けても良い。位置決め部材５４を設ける位置については、自動車１１の前方側だけでなく、後方側であっても良い。 In the above embodiment, the positioning member 54 has a frame shape in which a circular opening is formed in accordance with the outer shape of the pedestal 72 of the base plate fixing member 19, but instead of this, the longitudinal direction of the base plate 18, That is, it may have a frame shape in which an elliptical opening extending along the width direction W of the automobile 11 is formed. In this case, the position of the base plate fixing member 19 can be finely adjusted in the width direction W. Further, three or more positioning members 54 may be provided. About the position which provides the positioning member 54, not only the front side of the motor vehicle 11 but the back side may be sufficient.
　なお、当接部材７４の上面７４ｂの面積については、適宜設定することが可能である。例えば、ベースプレート固定部材１９によりベースプレート１８とダッシュボード６９とを突っ張らせる際に、上面７４ｂがダッシュボード６９を押し付ける力を分散させるという観点では、上面７４ｂの面積は、ダッシュボード６９の範囲内で可能な限り大きいことが好ましい。こうすることで、ベースプレート固定部材１９の押し付けによりダッシュボード６９に生じる撓みを抑制することができるため、ベースプレート１８をベースプレート固定部材１９で確実に固定することができる。 The area of the upper surface 74b of the contact member 74 can be set as appropriate. For example, when the base plate 18 and the dashboard 69 are stretched by the base plate fixing member 19, the area of the upper surface 74 b can be within the range of the dashboard 69 from the viewpoint that the upper surface 74 b disperses the force for pressing the dashboard 69. It is preferable that it is as large as possible. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the bending generated in the dashboard 69 due to the pressing of the base plate fixing member 19, so that the base plate 18 can be reliably fixed by the base plate fixing member 19.
　なお、上記実施形態のように１つのベースプレート固定部材１９を用いる場合は、ベースプレート固定部材１９を設ける位置によってはベースプレート１８が動くことがあるため、ベースプレート１８が動かないような最適な位置にベースプレート固定部材１９を設ける必要がある。このようにベースプレート１８が動くことを確実に防止するために、ベースプレート固定部材１９の位置を工夫する他、ベースプレート固定部材１９の数を２以上に増やしても良い。ベースプレート固定部材１９の数を増やす場合は、ベースプレート固定部材１９の数に合わせて位置決め部材５４を設け、それぞれ嵌合させることが好ましい。 In the case where one base plate fixing member 19 is used as in the above embodiment, the base plate 18 may move depending on the position where the base plate fixing member 19 is provided. Therefore, the base plate is fixed at an optimal position where the base plate 18 does not move. The member 19 needs to be provided. In order to reliably prevent the base plate 18 from moving in this way, in addition to devising the position of the base plate fixing member 19, the number of the base plate fixing members 19 may be increased to 2 or more. When the number of the base plate fixing members 19 is increased, it is preferable that the positioning members 54 are provided according to the number of the base plate fixing members 19 and are respectively fitted.
　なお、ベースプレート１８の大きさについては、適宜設定することが可能である。例えば、ブレーキペダル２１及びアクセルペダル２２の押圧を妨げない程度に、ベースプレートを各ペダル側（自動車１１の前方側）に広げても良い。逆に、ベースプレートを運転席１２側（自動車１１の後方側）に広げても良い。ベースプレートを運転席１２側に広げた場合には、運転席１２付近のフロア１３がベースプレートで覆われるため、片脚が不自由な身体障害者が運転する際に、もう一方の脚でベースプレートが押さえられ、ベースプレートをより強固に固定することが可能である。このようにベースプレートを大きくする場合は、図１３等に示すような大きくしない場合のベースプレート１８に対し、例えば、２～３倍程度の大きさとすることが好ましい。 It should be noted that the size of the base plate 18 can be set as appropriate. For example, the base plate may be spread on each pedal side (the front side of the automobile 11) so as not to prevent the brake pedal 21 and the accelerator pedal 22 from being pressed. Conversely, the base plate may be extended to the driver's seat 12 side (the rear side of the automobile 11). When the base plate is extended to the driver's seat 12 side, the floor 13 near the driver's seat 12 is covered with the base plate. Therefore, when a disabled person who has difficulty with one leg drives, the base plate is pressed by the other leg. Thus, the base plate can be fixed more firmly. When the base plate is enlarged as described above, it is preferable that the base plate 18 is not larger than the base plate 18 as shown in FIG.
　なお、上記実施形態では、運転者が手動操作部材１７を操作する際に操作ガイド部材５２でＡ方向またはＢ方向へガイドしているが、実際にはＡ方向またはＢ方向だけでなくフロア１３側の下方向にも力が加えられることがある。この場合、手動操作部材１７の操作により生じるフロア１３側の下方向への力が操作ガイド部材５２を介してベースプレート１８に伝達すると、ベースプレート１８が振動して位置が動くことがある。これに備えて、操作ガイド部材５２には、フロア１３側の下方向への力を吸収するための振動吸収機構を設けても良い。振動吸収機構は、例えば、バネなどの弾性部材で構成される。振動吸収機構は、例えば、操作ガイド部材５２の基台５６に設けられ、ベースプレート１８に対する操作ガイド部材５２の上下方向への移動を可能とすることにより、振動を吸収する。こうすることで手動操作部材１７の操作によりベースプレート１８の位置が動くことを確実に防止できる。 In the above embodiment, when the driver operates the manual operation member 17, the operation guide member 52 guides in the A direction or the B direction, but actually the floor 13 side as well as the A direction or the B direction is used. Force may also be applied in the downward direction. In this case, when the downward force on the floor 13 side generated by the operation of the manual operation member 17 is transmitted to the base plate 18 via the operation guide member 52, the base plate 18 may vibrate and move its position. In preparation for this, the operation guide member 52 may be provided with a vibration absorbing mechanism for absorbing the downward force on the floor 13 side. The vibration absorbing mechanism is composed of an elastic member such as a spring, for example. For example, the vibration absorbing mechanism is provided on the base 56 of the operation guide member 52 and absorbs vibration by allowing the operation guide member 52 to move in the vertical direction with respect to the base plate 18. By doing so, it is possible to reliably prevent the position of the base plate 18 from moving due to the operation of the manual operation member 17.
