Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive braking technology, and in particular to intelligent pedal devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern automotive technology, automobiles have become one of the most important means of transportation in our lives. As an important component of a car, the matching relationship between the car pedals and the human body determines the comfort of the driver's driving posture.

[0003] Currently, car pedals include brake pedal, accelerator pedal, and clutch pedal. Most of these pedals are connected to damping structures to provide the driver with a sense of resistance when pressing the pedals, ensuring the stability of the driver's pedal control and driving comfort, and guaranteeing relative driving safety.

[0004] Different drivers perceive pedal resistance differently, and existing pedal systems are not convenient for adjusting the damping force of each pedal according to different drivers' driving habits, thus failing to meet the individual needs of different drivers and affecting driving comfort and braking safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent pedal device to address the problem that the device cannot meet the personalized needs of different drivers for the damping force of each pedal.

[0006] A smart pedal device, comprising:

[0007] Install components;

[0008] A first pedal assembly is disposed on the mounting assembly and is movable relative to the mounting assembly;

[0009] A second pedal assembly is disposed on the mounting assembly and is movable relative to the mounting assembly;

[0010] A sensor is disposed on the first pedal assembly or the second pedal assembly;

[0011] The first elastic unit has two ends in the elastic direction that are respectively connected to the first pedal assembly and the first sliding unit;

[0012] The second elastic unit has its axial ends connected to the second pedal assembly and the second sliding unit, respectively.

[0013] An adjustment component is electrically connected to the sensor and is drively connected to the first sliding unit and the second sliding unit, for driving the first sliding unit to move along the axial direction of the first elastic unit and driving the second sliding unit to move along the axial direction of the second elastic unit.

[0014] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly has a first connecting element and a second connecting element, the first connecting element passing through the first elastic unit, the first sliding unit and the first pedal assembly, and the second connecting element passing through the second elastic unit, the second sliding unit and the second pedal assembly.

[0015] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes a first adjustment unit and a second adjustment unit. The first adjustment unit is driven to the first sliding unit and is used to drive the first sliding unit to move along the axial direction of the first elastic unit. The second adjustment unit is driven to the second sliding unit and is used to drive the second sliding unit to move along the axial direction of the second elastic unit. Both the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment unit are electrically connected to the sensor.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first adjustment unit includes a first rotating element and a first connecting element. The first connecting element is pulsatorically connected to the first rotating element. The outer peripheral surface of the first connecting element is provided with a threaded structure. The first sliding unit is screwed onto the first connecting element and is slidably connected to the mounting assembly.

[0017] In one embodiment, the second adjustment unit includes a second rotating element and a second connecting element. The second connecting element is throttle-connected to the second rotating element. The outer peripheral surface of the second connecting element is provided with a threaded structure. The second sliding unit is screwed onto the second connecting element and is slidably connected to the mounting assembly.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first pedal assembly includes a first pedal unit and a first angle adjustment unit, the first pedal unit being disposed on the mounting assembly via the first angle adjustment unit, and the second pedal assembly includes a second pedal unit and a second angle adjustment unit, the second pedal unit being disposed on the mounting assembly via the second angle adjustment unit.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first angle adjustment unit includes a telescopic member, a sliding member, a movable member, and a first fixing member. The movable member abuts against the first elastic unit. The first pedal unit is rotatably connected to the mounting assembly. The sliding member is slidably connected to the first pedal unit. The two ends of the telescopic member in the telescopic direction are rotatably connected to the sliding member and the movable member, respectively. The first fixing member is disposed on the sliding member and the telescopic member to fix the rotation angle between the first pedal member and the telescopic member.

[0020] In one embodiment, the second angle adjustment component includes a first brake member, a second brake member, and a second fixing member. The first brake member and the second brake member are rotatably connected, and the second fixing member is disposed on the first brake member and the second brake member to fix the rotation angle between the second brake member and the first brake member.

[0021] In one embodiment, the mounting assembly includes a mounting unit, a first moving module, and a second moving module. The first pedal is driven to move along the X-axis of the mounting assembly via the first moving module. The second pedal is driven to move along the Y-axis and Z-axis of the mounting assembly via the second moving module.

[0022] In one embodiment, the second moving module includes a Y-axis moving module and a Z-axis moving module. The Y-axis moving module is driven to the Z-axis moving module and is used to drive the Z-axis moving module to move along the Y-axis direction of the mounting assembly. The Z-axis moving module is driven to the second pedal assembly and is used to drive the second pedal assembly to move along the Z-axis direction of the mounting assembly.

[0023] The aforementioned intelligent pedal device can provide corresponding resistance forces to the first pedal assembly and the second pedal assembly through the first elastic unit and the second elastic unit, respectively, so that the driver can feel the resistance force when pressing the first pedal assembly and the second pedal assembly, ensuring the stability of pedal control. In addition, the sensor can sense the driver's pressing force and give corresponding signals to the adjustment component, so that the adjustment component can drive the first sliding unit and the second sliding unit to move, adjust the distance between the first sliding unit and the first pedal assembly and the second sliding unit and the second pedal assembly, thereby changing the elastic potential energy of the first elastic unit and the second elastic unit, so as to adjust the resistance force provided by the first elastic unit and the second elastic unit to the first pedal assembly and the second pedal assembly, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the damping force of each pedal and meeting the personalized needs of different drivers for pedal damping force.

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0038] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0039] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0041] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0042] Since different drivers have different driving habits and needs, the rationality of pedal position and pedal damping will greatly affect the driver's personalized needs and driving comfort.

[0043] Most current automotive pedals are rigidly connected to the vehicle frame, making it impossible to adjust their position according to different drivers' habits or individual needs. While adjusting the seat position can somewhat meet the matching requirements between the driver and the pedals, it may affect the driver's visibility and comfort, thus impacting driving comfort and braking safety. Furthermore, traditional pedal damping force adjustment methods mostly adjust the pedal feel by changing the elasticity of the pedal support spring, but each adjustment requires disassembly and reassembly of the pedal device, resulting in low efficiency and poor flexibility. Therefore, this application proposes an intelligent pedal device to solve the above problems.

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent pedal device, including a mounting assembly 1, a first pedal assembly 2, a second pedal assembly 3, a sensor 4, a first elastic unit 5, a second elastic unit 6, and an adjustment assembly 7. The mounting assembly 1 provides a mounting platform for the first pedal assembly 2, the second pedal assembly 3, the first elastic unit 5, the second elastic unit 6, and the adjustment assembly 7, allowing them to be combined. The first pedal assembly 2 and the second pedal assembly 3 are one of a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal, or a clutch pedal, used by the operator for pressing. The first elastic unit 5 and the second elastic unit 6 respectively provide resistance to the first pedal assembly 2 and the second pedal assembly 3, so that the driver can feel the resistance when pressing the first pedal assembly 2 and the second pedal assembly 3, ensuring the stability of the control of the first pedal assembly 2 and the second pedal assembly 3. The adjustment assembly 7 is used to adjust the distance between the first sliding unit 14 and the first pedal assembly 2, and between the second sliding unit 16 and the second pedal assembly 3, thereby changing the elastic potential energy of the first elastic unit 5 and the second elastic unit 6.

[0045] See Figure 2 In a specific configuration, the first pedal assembly 2 is mounted on the mounting assembly 1 and can move relative to the mounting assembly 1.

[0046] For example, in one embodiment, the first pedal assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting assembly 1. When the driver presses the first pedal assembly 2, the first pedal assembly 2 can rotate relative to the mounting assembly 1 and provide the vehicle with corresponding information. In another embodiment, the first pedal assembly 2 is slidably connected to the mounting assembly 1. When the driver presses the first pedal assembly 2, the first pedal assembly 2 can move horizontally relative to the mounting assembly 1 and provide the vehicle with corresponding information.

[0047] See Figure 1 The second pedal assembly 3 is mounted on the mounting assembly 1 and can move relative to the mounting assembly 1.

[0048] For example, in one embodiment, the second pedal assembly 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting assembly 1. When the driver presses the second pedal assembly 3, the second pedal assembly 3 can rotate relative to the mounting assembly 1 and provide corresponding information to the vehicle. In another embodiment, the second pedal assembly 3 is slidably connected to the mounting assembly 1. When the driver presses the second pedal assembly 3, the second pedal assembly 3 can move horizontally relative to the mounting assembly 1 and provide corresponding information to the vehicle.

[0049] Sensor 4 is mounted on either the first pedal assembly 2 or the second pedal assembly 3.

[0050] For example, see Figure 2 In one embodiment, sensor 4 is disposed on the first pedal assembly 2. When the driver presses the first pedal assembly 2, sensor 4 collects the driver's pressing force and transmits the collected information to the controller. In another embodiment, sensor 4 is disposed on the second pedal assembly 3. When the driver presses the second pedal assembly 3, sensor 4 collects the driver's pressing force and transmits the collected information to the controller.

[0051] See Figure 2 The two ends of the first elastic unit 5 in the elastic direction are respectively connected to the first pedal assembly 2 and the first sliding unit 14. Specifically, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting assembly 1 is provided with a first connecting element 712, which passes through the first elastic unit 5, the first sliding unit 14, and the first pedal assembly 2. The axial ends of the first elastic unit 5 abut against the first sliding unit 14 and the first pedal assembly 2, respectively. Understandably, in this application, the first elastic unit 5 is selected as a spring.

[0052] In addition, the mounting component 1 is provided with a first port 15, and a portion of the first sliding unit 14 passes through the first port 15 to restrict the movement path of the first sliding unit 14.

[0053] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 The axial ends of the second elastic unit 6 are respectively connected to the second pedal assembly 3 and the second sliding unit 16. Specifically, the mounting assembly 1 is provided with a second connecting element 722, which passes through the second elastic unit 6, the second sliding unit 16, and the second pedal assembly 3, and the axial ends of the second elastic unit 6 abut against the second sliding unit 16 and the second pedal assembly 3, respectively. It is understood that in this application, the second elastic unit 6 is selected as a spring.

[0054] In addition, the mounting component 1 is provided with a second port 17, and a portion of the second sliding unit 16 passes through the second port 17 to restrict the movement path of the second sliding unit 16.

[0055] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjustment component 7 is electrically connected to the sensor 4 and is drively connected to the first sliding unit 14 and the second sliding unit 16. It is used to drive the first sliding unit 14 to move along the axial direction of the first elastic unit 5 and to drive the second sliding unit 16 to move along the axial direction of the second elastic unit 6.

[0056] Specifically, the adjustment component 7 is mounted on the mounting component 1 and is connected in a transmission manner to the first sliding unit 14 and the second sliding unit 16. The adjustment component 7 can be electrically or signal-connected to the sensor 4 via a controller. When the sensor 4 senses the driver's pedal force, it transmits the information to the controller, causing the controller to control the adjustment component 7 to move the first sliding unit 14 and the second sliding unit 16.

[0057] More specifically, in one embodiment of this application, the adjusting component 7 is selected from accessories with telescopic effect such as cylinders, electric cylinders or electric push rods, and the first sliding unit 14 and the second sliding unit 16 are fixedly connected to the two telescopic parts of the adjusting component 7 (not shown in the figure); in another embodiment of this application, the adjusting component 7 is selected from rotating accessories with screws, and the first sliding unit 14 and the second sliding unit 16 are threadedly connected to the two screws of the adjusting component 7.

[0058] When in use, the intelligent pedal device of this application can connect the mounting component 1 to the vehicle body. When the driver presses the first pedal component 2 or the second pedal component 3, the sensor 4 can sense the driver's pressing force and send a corresponding signal to the adjustment component 7. This allows the adjustment component 7 to drive the first sliding unit 14 and the second sliding unit 16 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the first sliding unit 14 and the first pedal component 2, as well as between the second sliding unit 16 and the second pedal component 3. This changes the elastic potential energy of the first elastic unit 5 and the second elastic unit 6, thus adjusting the resistance force exerted by the first elastic unit 5 and the second elastic unit 6 on the first pedal component 2 and the second pedal component 3. This achieves the effect of adjusting the pedal damping force, meeting the personalized needs of different drivers for pedal damping force.

[0059] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the mounting assembly 1 includes a mounting unit 11 and a first moving module 12. The first pedal assembly 2 is connected to the mounting unit 11 via the first moving module 12, which drives the first pedal assembly 2 to move along the X-axis of the mounting assembly 1. After the intelligent pedal device is installed on the vehicle body, the position of the mounting assembly 1 is fixed, and the distance between the first pedal assembly 2 and the driver can be adjusted by the first moving module 12 to meet the personalized needs of different drivers for the position of the first pedal assembly 2.

[0060] Specifically, the first moving module 12 includes a first driving unit 121 and a first motion unit 122. The first driving unit 121 is disposed on the mounting unit 11 and is connected to the first motion unit 122 for driving the first motion unit 122 to move laterally along the X-axis direction of the mounting unit 11. The first pedal assembly 2 is disposed on the first motion unit 122.

[0061] For example, in one embodiment, the first drive unit 121 is selected from components with a telescopic effect, such as a cylinder, an electric cylinder, or an electric push rod. In another embodiment, the first drive unit 121 is selected from a rotary motor with a screw, and the first motion unit 122 is screwed onto the screw and slidably connected to the mounting unit 11.

[0062] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the mounting assembly 1 further includes a second moving module 13. The second pedal assembly 3 is connected to the mounting unit 11 via the second moving module 13. The second moving module 13 drives the second pedal assembly 3 to move along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions of the mounting assembly 1. The second moving module 13 enables the second pedal assembly 3 to move relative to the mounting assembly 1 in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions, thereby allowing the distance between the first pedal assembly 2 and the second pedal assembly 3, as well as the height of the second pedal assembly 3, to be adjusted according to the driver's needs, meeting the personalized requirements of different drivers for the position of the second pedal assembly 3.

[0063] Specifically, the second moving module 13 includes a Y-axis moving module 131 and a Z-axis moving module 132. The Y-axis moving module 131 is connected to the Z-axis moving module 132 for driving the Z-axis moving module 132 to move along the Y-axis direction of the mounting assembly 1. The Z-axis moving module 132 is connected to the second pedal for driving the second pedal to move along the Z-axis direction of the mounting assembly 1.

[0064] More specifically, the Y-axis moving module 131 includes a second driving unit 1311 and a second motion unit 1312. The second driving unit 1311 is disposed on the mounting unit 11 and is connected to the second motion unit 1312 for driving the second motion unit 1312 to move laterally along the Y-axis direction of the mounting unit 11.

[0065] Z-axis moving module 132 includes a third drive unit 1321 and a third motion unit. The third drive unit 1321 is disposed on the second motion unit 1312 and is connected to the third motion unit for driving the third motion unit to move longitudinally along the Z-axis direction of the mounting unit 11. The second pedal assembly 3 is disposed on the third motion unit.

[0066] For example, in one embodiment, the second drive unit 1311 and the third drive unit 1321 are both selected from components with telescopic effect, such as cylinders, electric cylinders or electric push rods; in another embodiment, the second drive unit 1311 and the third drive unit 1321 are both selected from rotary motors with screws, and the second motion unit 1312 and the third motion unit are both screwed onto the corresponding screws and slidably connected to the mounting unit 11.

[0067] See Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment, the adjustment component 7 includes a first adjustment unit 71 and a second adjustment unit 72. The first adjustment unit 71 is driven to the first sliding unit 14 and is used to drive the first sliding unit 14 to move along the axial direction of the first elastic unit 5. The second adjustment unit 72 is driven to the second sliding unit 16 and is used to drive the second sliding unit 16 to move along the axial direction of the second elastic unit 6. Both the first adjustment unit 71 and the second adjustment unit 72 are electrically connected to the sensor 4.

[0068] Specifically, the first pedal assembly 2, the first adjustment unit 71, and the first sliding unit 14 are all disposed in the first motion unit 122, and the first sliding unit 14 is slidably connected to the first motion unit 122. The first adjustment unit 71 is drively connected to the first sliding unit 14. The first adjustment unit 71 can drive the first sliding unit 14 to move along the axial direction of the first elastic unit 5 to adjust the distance between the first sliding unit 14 and the first pedal assembly 2.

[0069] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second pedal assembly 3, the second adjusting unit 72, and the second sliding unit 16 are all mounted on the third motion unit, and the second sliding unit 16 is slidably connected to the third motion unit. The second adjusting unit 72 is drively connected to the second sliding unit 16, and the second adjusting unit 72 can drive the second sliding unit 16 to move along the axial direction of the second elastic unit 6 to adjust the distance between the second sliding unit 16 and the second pedal assembly 3.

[0070] More specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The third motion unit includes a first connecting frame 1322 and a second connecting frame 1323. The first connecting frame 1322 is driveably connected to the third drive unit 1321, and the second connecting frame 1323 is connected to the first connecting frame 1322. The second pedal assembly 3 is disposed on the second connecting frame 1323, so that the third drive unit 1321 can simultaneously drive the first connecting frame 1322 and the second connecting frame 1323 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the second pedal assembly 3. The second adjustment unit 72 is disposed on the first connecting frame 1322, and the second sliding unit 16 is slidably connected to the first connecting frame 1322, so that the second adjustment unit 72 can drive the second sliding unit 16 to move on the first connecting frame 1322.

[0071] To ensure that the second motion unit 1312 does not affect the movement of the first connecting frame 1322 driven by the third drive unit 1321, the second motion unit 1312 is provided with a moving port 133 for the first connecting frame 1322 to move. When the third drive unit 1321 drives the first connecting frame 1322 to move, the first connecting frame 1322 can move longitudinally along the Z-axis direction of the mounting unit 11 within the moving port 133. The second connecting frame 1323 is slidably connected to the second motion unit 1312 via a slide rail. The first connecting frame 1322 passes through the moving port 133 and is connected to the second connecting frame 1323, so that when the third drive unit 1321 drives the first connecting frame 1322 to move, the second connecting frame 1323 can move longitudinally along the Z-axis direction of the second motion unit 1312 along with the first connecting frame 1322. When the second drive unit 1311 drives the second motion unit 1312 to move, the second connecting frame 1323 together with the first connecting frame 1322 can move laterally along the Y-axis direction of the mounting unit 11 with the second motion unit 1312.

[0072] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the first adjustment unit 71 includes a first rotating element 711 and a first connecting element 712. The first connecting element 712 is connected to the first rotating element 711 in a transmission manner. The outer peripheral surface of the first connecting element 712 is provided with a threaded structure. The first sliding unit 14 is threadedly connected to the first connecting element 712 and is slidably connected to the mounting assembly 1.

[0073] Specifically, a first rotating element 711 is disposed on the mounting assembly 1. The first rotating element 711 has a rotating part that can rotate relative to the mounting assembly 1. A first connecting element 712 passes through the first elastic unit 5, the first sliding unit 14, and the first pedal assembly 2, and is connected to the rotating part. The first sliding unit 14 is screwed onto the first connecting element 712 and is slidably connected to the mounting assembly 1. When the first rotating element 711 drives the first connecting element 712 to rotate, the first sliding unit 14 can move along the axial direction of the first elastic unit 5 on the first connecting element 712, thereby changing the distance between the first sliding unit 14 and the first pedal assembly 2, and thus the elastic potential energy of the first elastic unit 5.

[0074] More specifically, the first rotating element 711 is disposed on the first motion unit 122, the first connecting element 712 is coaxial with the first elastic unit 5, and the first end of the first connecting element 712 sequentially passes through the first pedal assembly 2, the first elastic unit 5 and the first sliding unit 14, and is connected to the first rotating element 711 in a transmission manner to further enhance the stability between the first elastic unit 5, the first sliding unit 14 and the first pedal assembly 2. It is understood that in this application, the first rotating element 711 is a rotary motor, which is more convenient for the operator to use than manual operation. The first connecting element 712 is a screw, and the screw is connected to the rotary motor through a reducer.

[0075] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the second adjustment unit 72 includes a second rotating element 721 and a second connecting element 722. The second connecting element 722 is connected to the second rotating element 721 in a transmission manner. The outer peripheral surface of the second connecting element 722 is provided with a threaded structure. The second sliding unit 16 is threadedly connected to the second connecting element 722 and is slidably connected to the mounting assembly 1.

[0076] Specifically, the second rotating element 721 is disposed on the mounting assembly 1. The second rotating element 721 has a rotating part that can rotate relative to the mounting assembly 1. The second connecting element 722 passes through the second elastic unit 6, the second sliding unit 16, and the second pedal assembly 3, and is connected to the rotating part. The second sliding unit 16 is screwed onto the second connecting element 722 and is slidably connected to the mounting assembly 1. When the second rotating element 721 drives the second connecting element 722 to rotate, the second sliding unit 16 can move along the axial direction of the second elastic unit 6 on the second connecting element 722, thereby changing the distance between the second sliding unit 16 and the second pedal assembly 3, and thus the elastic potential energy of the second elastic unit 6.

[0077] More specifically, the second rotating element 721 is disposed on the first connecting frame 1322. The second connecting element 722 is coaxial with the second elastic unit 6, and the second end of the second connecting element 722 sequentially passes through the second pedal assembly 3, the second elastic unit 6, and the second sliding unit 16, and is connected to the second rotating element 721 in a transmission manner, thereby further enhancing the stability between the second elastic unit 6, the second sliding unit 16, and the second pedal assembly 3. It is understood that in this application, the second rotating element 721 is a rotary motor, which is more convenient for the operator to use than manual operation. The second connecting element 722 is a screw, and the screw is connected to the motor shaft of the rotary motor.

[0078] A fixing unit 73 is provided at the second end of the second connecting element 722, which fixes the second connecting element 722 and the second pedal assembly 3. One end of the first elastic unit 5 is located inside the second pedal assembly 3 and abuts against the fixing unit 73, further enhancing the fixing effect between the first elastic unit 5, the second connecting element 722, and the second pedal assembly 3. In addition, the second end of the second connecting element 722 passes through the second pedal assembly 3 and is threadedly connected to the fixing unit 73. The threaded connection allows the second connecting element 722 and the fixing unit 73 to be detachably connected, thereby facilitating the assembly or disassembly of the second connecting element 722 and the second pedal assembly 3.

[0079] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first pedal assembly 2 includes a first pedal unit 21 and a first angle adjustment unit 22. The first pedal unit 21 is mounted on the mounting assembly 1 via the first angle adjustment unit 22. The first angle adjustment unit 22 adjusts the angle between the first pedal unit 21 and the mounting assembly 1 to accommodate the driver's angle requirements. The second pedal assembly 3 includes a second pedal unit 31 and a second angle adjustment unit 32. The second pedal unit 31 is mounted on the mounting assembly 1 via the second angle adjustment unit 32. The second angle adjustment unit 32 adjusts the angle between the second pedal unit 31 and the mounting assembly 1 to accommodate the driver's angle requirements.

[0080] Specifically, a first angle adjustment unit 22 is disposed on the first motion unit 122, and a first pedal unit 21 is disposed on the first angle adjustment unit 22. The first angle adjustment unit 22 adjusts the angle between the first pedal unit 21 and the first motion unit 122. A second angle adjustment unit 32 is disposed on the second connecting frame 1323, and a second pedal unit 31 is disposed on the second angle adjustment unit 32. The second angle adjustment unit 32 adjusts the angle between the second pedal unit 31 and the second connecting frame 1323.

[0081] See Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the first angle adjustment unit 22 includes a telescopic member 221, a sliding member 222, a moving member 224, and a first fixing member 223. The moving member 224 abuts against the first elastic unit. The first pedal unit 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting assembly 1. The sliding member 222 is slidably connected to the first pedal unit 21. The two ends of the telescopic member 221 in the telescopic direction are rotatably connected to the sliding member 222 and the moving member 224, respectively. The first fixing member 223 is disposed on the sliding member 222 and the telescopic member 221 to fix the rotation angle between the first pedal unit and the telescopic member 221. When the driver presses the first pedal unit 21, the telescopic member 221 can be moved simultaneously, thereby causing the moving member 224 to move along the axial direction of the first elastic unit 5. This causes the first elastic unit 5 to deform and provides a relative resistance force to the moving member 224 and the first pedal unit 21, so that the driver can feel the resistance force.

[0082] Specifically, the first motion unit 122 is provided with a slide rail, and the moving member 224 is slidably connected to the first motion unit 122 through the slide rail. The bottom of the first pedal unit 21 is rotatably connected to the first motion unit 122, and the sliding member 222 is slidably connected to the first pedal unit 21 along the height direction of the first pedal unit 21. The two ends of the telescopic member 221 in the telescopic direction are rotatably connected to the sliding member 222 and the moving member 224, respectively. When the telescopic member 221 performs telescopic operation, the angle between it and the sliding member 222 and the moving member 224 changes.

[0083] For example, when the telescopic member 221 extends, the angle between the sliding member 222 and the telescopic member 221 increases, and the sliding member 222 moves closer to the mounting assembly 1. The first pedal unit 21... Figure 3 The first pedal unit 21 rotates counterclockwise, increasing the angle between itself and the mounting assembly 1. When the telescopic member 221 shortens, the angle between the sliding member 222 and the telescopic member 221 decreases, and the sliding member 222 moves away from the mounting assembly 1. Figure 3 It rotates clockwise during the process, and the angle between it and the mounting component 1 decreases.

[0084] The sliding member 222 has two fixed parts, and one end of the telescopic member 221 is rotatably disposed between the two fixed parts and abuts against them. The first fixed member 223 includes a connecting shaft and two nuts. The connecting shaft passes through the two fixed parts and the telescopic member 221, and the two nuts are threadedly connected to the connecting shaft and abut against the two fixed parts respectively. By adjusting the distance between the two nuts, the abutting force between the telescopic member 221 and the fixed parts can be adjusted, thereby achieving fixation between the telescopic member 221 and the fixed parts.

[0085] See Figure 1 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the second angle adjustment unit 32 includes a first brake element 321, a second brake element 322, and a second fixing element 323. The first brake element 321 is rotatably connected to the mounting assembly 1 and abuts against the second elastic unit 6. The second brake element 322 is rotatably connected to the first brake element 321. The second pedal unit 31 is disposed on the second brake element 322. The second fixing element 323 is disposed on the first brake element 321 and the second brake element 322 and is used to fix the rotation angle between the second brake element 322 and the first brake element 321. When the driver presses the second pedal unit 31, it can drive the second brake element 322 and the first brake element 321 to rotate, causing the second elastic unit 6 to deform under the action of the first brake element 321.

[0086] Specifically, the first braking element 321 includes a first braking part 3211 and a second braking part 3212. The two ends of the first braking part 3211 are rotatably connected to the second connecting frame 1323 and the second braking element 322, respectively. Along the axial direction of the second elastic unit 6, the second braking part 3212 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the second braking part 3212 passes through the second connecting frame 1323 and abuts against the second elastic unit 6. The second end of the second braking part 3212 is rotatably connected to the first braking part 3211. When the driver presses the second pedal unit 31, it can drive the second braking part 3212 and the first braking part 3211 to rotate, causing the first braking part 3211 to move along the axial direction of the second elastic unit 6. This causes the second elastic unit 6 to deform and provide a relative resisting force to the first braking part 3211 and the second braking part 3212, allowing the operator to feel the resisting force.

[0087] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second braking element 322 is rotatably connected to the first braking element 321 via a rotating shaft. Along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, the first braking element 321 has at least two fixing holes 325, and the second braking element 322 has an adjusting hole 324. The second fixing element 323 is fixed in the adjusting hole 324 and any one of the fixing holes 325. By fixing the second fixing element 323 in different fixing holes 325, the second braking element 322 can be fixed to the first braking element 321 at different angles.

[0088] More specifically, the second braking element 322 is rotatably connected to the first braking part 3211 via a rotating shaft. Both the fixing hole 325 and the adjusting hole 324 are parallel to the rotating shaft, and the distance between the adjusting hole 324 and the rotating shaft is the same as the distance between the fixing hole 325 and the rotating shaft, so as to ensure that when the second braking element 322 rotates relative to the first braking part 3211 around the rotating shaft, the adjusting hole 324 can communicate with different fixing holes 325.

[0089] Furthermore, the adjusting hole 324 is an oblong hole, and each adjusting hole 324 corresponds to at least two fixing holes 325. Because the oblong hole has a larger area, it allows the adjusting hole 324 to communicate with multiple fixing holes 325 simultaneously, making it easier for the operator to locate the corresponding fixing hole 325 through the adjusting hole 324, and then fix the second fixing member 323 to the adjusting hole 324 and the corresponding fixing hole 325. It is understood that in this application, the second fixing member 323 is threadedly connected to the fixing hole 325.
