20080276750 | PEDAL DEVICE WITH FUNCTION OF ADJUSTING PEDAL EFFORT AND HYSTERESIS - An object of the present invention is to provide a pedal device which can alleviate fatigue of a driver's ankle due to a frequent acceleration by differently setting the amount of reaction force applied when the driver presses and releases a pedal, by adjusting pre-compression force against a return spring disposed at a hinged portion of a pedal arm and adjusting a friction force on a hinged portion of the pedal arm, and satisfying a user's preference by properly adjusting the reaction force. In order to accomplish the above-mentioned object, the invention provides a pedal device with a function of adjusting a pedal effort and hysteresis that includes: a housing fixed to a car body; an arm hinged to the housing; an elastic member disposed between the housing and the pivot end of the pedal arm, and providing a return force to the pedal arm; a pedal effort adjusting unit disposed in the housing and pressing an end of the elastic member to adjust a pre-compression force to the elastic member force; and a hysteresis adjusting unit movably disposed in the housing to press the hinged portion of the pedal arm and adjusting the amount of change in stroke-to-pedal effort while the pedal arm operates. | 11-13-2008 |
20100139445 | ELECTRONIC ORGAN TYPE ACCELERATOR PEDAL - An electronic organ type accelerator pedal apparatus, may include a pedal housing having a pedal arm receiving space therein and a carrier fitting hole, a pedal pivotally hinged to a hinged portion of the pedal housing, a pedal arm pivotally mounted to an inner surface of the pedal housing, wherein one end portion of the pedal arm is elastically biased by an elastic member and the other end portion of which is pivotally coupled to the pedal through the carrier fitting hole to transfer an activating force of the pedal to the other end portion of the pedal arm, and a damping stopper fixed to the inner surface of the pedal housing in the pedal arm receiving space and selectively engaged with the other end portion of the pedal arm to limit a rotation of the pedal arm when the pedal arm is rotated by the elastic member. | 06-10-2010 |
20100300240 | APPARATUS FOR GENERATING HYSTERESIS OF ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR PEDAL - The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating hysteresis equipped in an electronic accelerator pedal for a vehicle, which makes it possible not only to reduce the manufacturing cost, weight, and fuel consumption by reducing the number of parts of an apparatus for generating hysteresis, but achieve a compact configuration by reducing the size of a housing. Further, it is possible to facilitate assembly, reduce assembly time, and improve productivity. | 12-02-2010 |
20110094331 | APPARATUS FOR GENERATING HYSTERESIS OF ELECTRONIC ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR A VEHICLE - The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating hysteresis of an electronic accelerator pedal for a vehicle, which makes it possible to improve the assembly work, reduce the assembly time, improve productivity, reduce the manufacturing cost, the weight, and fuel consumption, by simplifying the parts of the apparatus for generating hysteresis of the electronic accelerator pedal. | 04-28-2011 |
20110132134 | OPERATION MODE PENDANT TYPE ADJUSTMENT PEDAL APPARATUS - A pendant type adjustment pedal apparatus includes an adjustment accelerator pedal that adjust a pedal clearance by the rotation of a motor, and an adjustment brake pedal that receives the rotation of motor through a rotary drive cable. Accordingly, convenience in adjusting a pedal clearance is provided, and particularly, adjustment accelerator pedal achieves a vibration mode in addition to a foot effort mode, which is an eco mode, by an electric mode generating device, such as a solenoid or a linear motor. Therefore, it is possible to improve fuel efficiency and to provide a danger recognition function using an accelerator pedal. | 06-09-2011 |
20110260557 | ACTUATOR APPARATUS OF ACTIVE ACCELERATOR PEDAL - The present invention relates to an actuator apparatus of an active accelerator pedal, which can provide a driver with a pressing-force rise mode or a vibration mode in accordance with the operational condition of the accelerator pedal and the traveling condition of the vehicle; therefore, it is possible to improve fuel efficiency and also help safe traveling. An actuator apparatus of an active accelerator pedal of the present invention includes: an actuator housing fixed to a pedal arm housing; a stator fixed to the actuator housing and electromagnetized by current transmitted though the control of an ECU; a carrier having one end disposed in a stator and the other end disposed toward the pedal arm through the actuator housing, and applying pressing-force to the pedal arm while protruding from the stator when current is applied to the stator; and a position sensor disposed in the actuator housing and detecting the amount of rotation of the pedal arm to determine the amount of current applied to the stator through the control of the ECU. | 10-27-2011 |
20120137823 | BRAKE PEDAL DEVICE - Provided is a brake pedal device that can effectively prevent a brake pedal from hurting a drive by forcibly rotating the brake pedal toward the front of the vehicle, away from the driver, when the brake pedal is pushed to driver by a car collision, with the brake pedal supported to the car body. The brake pedal device includes a brake pedal pivotably supported to a car body, and a pivot lever forcibly pivoting the brake pedal to the front of a vehicle, away from a driver, by forcibly pivoting by means of the car body in a collision. | 06-07-2012 |
