Adjustable pedal system with misalignment sensor

摘要

An adjustable pedal system has a first pedal (AC) pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a first jack screw actuator (2) for adjusting the fore and aft position of the first pedal, a second pedal (BR) pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a second jack screw actuator (3) for adjusting the fore and aft position of the second pedal and a third pedal (CL) pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a third jack screw actuator (4) for adjusting the fore and aft position of the third pedal. An electric motor (1) drives the translatable nuts fore and aft. A motor control switch assembly (A) controlled by the fore and aft movements of two of the nuts maintain alignment of the three pedals. A memory circuit (22) may be incorporated into the system for moving the pedals to a preselected adjusted position or indicating the preselected adjusted position. The memory circuit (22) may be separate or incorporated in a seat memory module.
