Arrangement for vehicle accelerator pedal

摘要

The figure shows the accelerator pedal (1) mounted so that it can turn, with an actuating rod (2) leading to a throttle (not shown) or the injection unit (not shown). The accelerator pedal is loaded by a return spring (4) tensioned between the pedal and a fixed suspension point (3). In use, the pedal extends the spring as it is pressed down. The force applied by the return spring can be varied by a setting unit (5) of an electric motor. For this purpose, there is an electromagnetic unit (6) with an armature or plunger (7) that changes the suspension point (3) of the return spring, the amount depending on the current supplied.
