<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for detecting an operation amount including a load restriction mechanism for demonstrating a load restriction function with a simplified structure. <P>SOLUTION: A unit 20 for detecting the operation amount includes an elastic member 21. Each end of the elastic member 21 is connected to a brake pedal 11 through support levers 22, 23 and support shaft bodies 28, 29, and an intermediate part connects a connection lever 26, and the brake pedal 11 and an operation rod 15 to be connected with a relatively movable connection shaft body 18 for the brake pedal 11. In addition, the unit 20 for detecting the operation amount includes the load restriction mechanism 30 comprising a spring member 31 for elastically relatively movably supporting the support shaft bodies 28, 29 and a fixed member 32 for unmovably supporting the spring member 31. Furthermore, the unit 20 for detecting the operation amount includes strain sensors 40a, 40b, 41a, 41b output as brake operation amounts by detecting strain amounts accompanying elastic deformation of the elastic member 21. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
