ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEVICE

摘要

An accelerator pedal device includes a slide guide path which is formed in a housing, a first slider which is engaged with the pedal arm for receiving pedaling force as being slidably arranged in the slide guide path and which includes a first inclined face inclined against a movement direction of the first slider, a second slider which is slidably arranged in the slide guide path and which includes a second inclined face contacted to the first inclined face, and an urging spring which exerts urging force in a direction opposing to the pedaling force as being engaged with the second slider, wherein the slide guide path is formed as being tapered in a direction of movement of the first slider and the second slider which are moved in association with depression of the accelerator pedal. Accordingly, desired hysteresis can be obtained on the pedaling force while achieving downsizing.

主权项

1. An accelerator pedal device, comprising:
a pedal arm which is moved in association with an accelerator pedal, a housing which supports the pedal arm between a rest position and a maximum depression position as being pivotable about a predetermined axis line; and a hysteresis generating mechanism for generating hysteresis at pedaling force of the accelerator pedal as including a slide guide path which is formed in the housing, a first slider which is engaged with the pedal arm for receiving pedaling force as being slidably arranged in the slide guide path and which includes a first inclined face inclined against a movement direction of the first slider, a second slider which is slidably arranged in the slide guide path and which includes a second inclined face contacted to the first inclined face, and an urging spring which exerts urging force in a direction opposing to the pedaling force as being engaged with the second slider, wherein the slide guide path is formed as being tapered in a direction of movement of the first slider and the second slider which are moved in association with depression of the accelerator pedal.
