[0037] The core of this application lies in disclosing a design method for the connection between a brake pedal and a booster lever fork, aiming to improve the service life and safety during the operation of the brake pedal and the booster lever fork.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the embodiments shown below do not impose any limitation on the invention described in the claims. Furthermore, all the contents of the configurations shown in the following embodiments are not limited to what is necessary for the solution of the invention described in the claims.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the present disclosure provides a design method for the connection between a brake pedal and a booster lever fork. Specifically, the design method at least includes the following steps:

[0040] S01: Design of the brake pedal position: Determine the rotation center A of the brake pedal on the vehicle, and based on the braking stroke requirement of the brake pedal, determine the initial position and the braking limit position of the connection hole on the brake pedal for assembling with the booster lever fork.

[0041] First of all, it should be noted that the position and angle of the 10 - face of the brake pedal need to consider the operation convenience and comfort during customer use. Since it is a mechanical structure directly in contact with the driver, it belongs to a very important human - machine engineering design in vehicle development and requires priority in position design. The 10 - face of the brake pedal is specifically designed and matched by engineers in the vehicle layout department in strict accordance with the "Vehicle Pedal Human - Machine Engineering Design Specification". After determining the human - machine engineering position and angle of the 10 - face of the brake pedal with the engineers in the vehicle layout department, in 3D design software such as UG and CATIA, the determined human - machine engineering 10 - face of the brake pedal can be loaded into the design drawing according to the vehicle layout coordinate requirements, and at the same time, determine the rotation center of the brake pedal, that is, the mid - point position during the lever movement of the brake pedal 10, which is determined as point A. Based on point A and the braking stroke requirement of the brake pedal 10, the initial position and the braking limit position of the connection hole 110 on the brake pedal 10 for assembling with the booster lever fork 20 can be obtained.

[0042] S02: Design of the booster lever fork position: When the brake pedal is in the initial position, align the docking hole 210 on the booster lever fork with the connection hole concentrically, and adjust the stroke of the booster lever fork to check that when the brake pedal is in the braking limit position, the misalignment amount between the docking hole 210 and the connection hole is less than 1 mm.

[0043] S03: Design of the booster lever fork angle: Determine the center B of the connection hole on the brake pedal and the rotation center C of the booster. According to the movement trajectories of the brake pedal and the booster lever fork, adjust the included angle between the booster lever fork and the booster during operation to be less than 1 degree.

[0044] It should be noted that the brake pedal 10 is the basis of the transmission structure. After determining the position of the brake pedal 10 on the whole vehicle and the rotational braking stroke, the position and movement angle of the booster rod fork 20 connected thereto can be designed. In step S02, the position of the booster rod fork 20 is designed. According to the movement process of the brake pedal 10 and the booster rod fork 20, it can be known that the booster rod fork 20 has the largest misalignment amount at the initial position and the braking limit position of the brake pedal 10. Therefore, in this design method, when the brake pedal 10 is in the initial position, the docking hole 210 on the booster rod fork 20 is concentrically aligned with the connecting hole 110 for assembly, and when the brake pedal 10 is in the braking limit position, the positions of the docking hole 210 and the connecting hole 110 are checked. By adjusting the movement stroke of the booster rod fork 20, the misalignment amount between the docking hole 210 and the connecting hole 110 is less than 1 mm when the brake pedal 10 is in the braking limit position, so as to meet the requirement that the misalignment amount of the brake pedal 10 during the full movement process of the booster rod fork 20 is less than 1 mm, thereby reducing the wear risk of the brake pedal 10 and the booster rod fork 20 and improving their service life.

[0045] Similarly, since there is an angular change during the operation of the booster rod fork 20, and an excessive angular change will affect the transmission of the braking force and even cause the risk of braking failure. Therefore, in step S03, the design method provided by the present invention determines the center B of the connecting hole 110 on the brake pedal 10 and the rotation center C of the booster, so as to simulate the movement trajectories of the brake pedal 10 and the booster rod fork 20, and then the included angle between the booster rod fork 20 and the brake pedal 10 at each operating position. By adjusting the positions of the center B and the rotation center C, the operating paths of the booster rod fork 20 and the brake pedal 10 can be changed; on this basis, adjusting the included angle between the booster rod fork 20 and the booster during the working process to be less than 1 degree can reduce the component force generated by the working included angle of the two during braking, thereby reducing the loss of the braking force, avoiding affecting the vehicle braking, and improving the safety during the vehicle operation.

[0046] Furthermore, in the design method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, step S01 specifically includes at least the following steps:

[0047] S101: Determine the reference point: Based on the vehicle ergonomic parameters, determine the position and angle of the operation surface of the brake pedal, and set the middle position of the operation surface as the reference point D.

[0048] It should be noted that the reference point D for determining the middle position of the operation surface 120 is because the driver mostly acts vertically on the middle area of the operation surface 120 during operation. Therefore, for the position design of the brake pedal 10, it is necessary to determine the reference point for the middle area of the operation surface 120 of the brake pedal 10.

[0049] S102: Determine the relationship of the brake pedal distance: Take the tangent of the operating surface with point D as the base point. Point A should be located on this tangent line. AD is the length on one side of the rotation center on the brake pedal; the length on the other side of the rotation center on the brake pedal is AB. Determine the length relationship between AB and AD according to the rotation requirement of the brake pedal and the lever ratio formula: i = AD / AB.

[0050] That is, by adjusting the position of the rotation center of the brake pedal 10, after taking the tangent of the operating surface 120 with point D as the base point, the rotation center of the brake pedal 10 can be located on the tangent line, so as to ensure that the force applied by the driver can act perpendicular to the operating surface 120, and make the moment set along the radius of the rotation circle of the operating surface 120, thereby reducing the risk of the component force of the braking force and improving the accuracy of the braking operation.

[0051] S103: Determine the position of the docking hole 210: According to the stroke of the brake pedal, when the brake pedal is in the initial position, align the docking hole 210 with the connection hole to determine the design position of the docking hole 210.

[0052] It should be further noted that in step S102, the specific process is to set the distance of AB as L and the distance of AD as (L×i) in the 3D design software to establish the dynamic adjustment relationship between AD and AB, so that in the calibration adjustment step, only by adjusting the distance of AB, the dynamic adjustment of the distance of AD can be realized, which can be calculated in real time to improve the calibration efficiency, and enable the actual size status to be calculated in real time when the brake pedal 10 is simulated with different sizes during the design process, reducing the design complexity.

[0053] In addition, it should be noted that in step S102, the value of the lever ratio i is determined by matching the performance parameters of the vehicle's braking system. The performance parameters of the vehicle's braking system at least include the operating force of the brake pedal 10, the full stroke of the master cylinder booster, and the braking force regulations.

[0054] Furthermore, in the design method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, in steps S02 and S03, the design process of the booster rod fork 20 at least includes the following steps:

[0055] S201: Determine the full stroke k of the master cylinder booster: The starting point of the full stroke of the master cylinder booster is the center E of the docking hole 210 on the booster rod fork, and the end point of the full stroke is point F, k = EF.

[0056] It should be noted that the full stroke of the master cylinder booster is synchronized with the entire movement process of the brake pedal 10. That is, when the brake pedal 10 is in the initial position, the booster rod fork 20 on the booster is at the starting point of the full stroke, and when the brake pedal 10 is in the braking limit position, the booster rod fork 20 on the booster is at the end point of the full stroke. Therefore, the starting point of the full stroke of the master cylinder booster, that is, the position state when the brake pedal 10 is in the initial position. At this time, the booster rod fork 20 is assembled with the brake pedal 10, and the connection hole 110 is aligned with the docking hole 210. Therefore, the starting point is the center E of the docking hole 210 on the booster rod fork 20. After the movement path and stroke of the brake pedal 10 are determined, the end point F of the full stroke of the master cylinder booster can be simulated in the 3D software based on point E, and a dynamic change point related to point E is formed.

[0057] Meanwhile, it should be noted that the movement of the booster rod fork 20 is a compound movement. On the one hand, the booster rod fork 20 is assembled with the connection hole 110 on the brake pedal 10, and the connection hole 110 will perform a rotational movement around point A during the movement of the brake pedal 10. Therefore, the booster rod fork 20 will first perform a rotational movement. On the other hand, the booster rod fork 20 will also be subjected to a compressive force along its axial direction, resulting in a linear movement along its axial direction. Therefore, the movement process of the booster rod fork 20 is a compound movement. And it should be noted that the movement process of the booster rod fork 20 can also be simulated in the 3D software by determining the position of the brake pedal 10 and the assembly position of the booster.

[0058] S202: Determine the initial angle: As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, based on the circular motion trajectory G of the brake pedal, draw a tangent line starting from the rotation center C of the booster and tangent to the circle G. The tangent point is H, and the included angle ∠BCH is the initial included angle between the booster rod fork and the booster during the working process.

[0059] S203: Determine the limit angle: Starting from the end point F of the full stroke of the master cylinder booster, draw a line segment perpendicular to EF and intersecting the circle G at point J. The included angle ∠BCJ is the limit included angle between the booster rod fork and the booster during the working process; both ∠BCH and ∠BCJ are less than 1 degree.

[0060] It should be noted that within the full stroke range of the booster, based on the analysis of the movement trajectories of the brake pedal 10 and the booster, it can be known that the angle between the booster rod fork 20 and the booster rotation point during operation is the largest when the brake pedal 10 is at its initial position or the braking limit position of the brake pedal 10, and the angles in the intermediate process range are smaller than theirs. Therefore, it is only necessary to focus on analyzing the angles at the initial position of the brake pedal 10 or the braking limit position of the brake pedal 10; Steps S202 and S203 simulate the angles at the two limit positions to form ∠BCH and ∠BCJ based on the circle G, that is, the parameters of the circle G are adjusted in the 3D software, and the values of ∠BCH and ∠BCJ can change in real time. The circle G is the point position parameter of the brake pedal 10. Furthermore, during the process of the designer adjusting the parameters of the brake pedal 10, the real-time parameter changes of ∠BCH and ∠BCJ are realized. Combining the foregoing embodiments, that is, through the rotation requirement of the brake pedal 10 and the length relationship between AB and AD determined by the lever ratio formula: i = AD / AB, the designer can realize the parameter changes at subsequent positions by adjusting a single parameter of AB, and perform a rationality check, thereby improving the design efficiency.

[0061] It should be noted that the above design method realizes that after determining the rotation centers of the brake pedal 10 and the booster, by adjusting the structural length on one side of the rotation center A on the brake pedal 10, that is, AB, the changes of various parameters of the brake pedal 10 and the booster rod fork 20 are realized to perform a reasonable structural design; and in some working conditions, when the rotation center A of the brake pedal 10 on the vehicle and the rotation center C of the booster on the vehicle are set unreasonably, it is difficult to make the running misalignment and running angle of the booster rod fork 20 within a reasonable range only by adjusting AB. Therefore, this design method further includes the steps:

[0062] S204: Adjust the rotation center A of the brake pedal on the vehicle and the rotation center C of the booster on the vehicle.

[0063] That is, by re - performing the rotation centers of one or both of the brake pedal 10 and the booster, the parameter settings are re - performed and the structural design is carried out.

[0064] Based on the above - mentioned embodiment, the drawing method of the movement trajectory circle G of the brake pedal 10 is: taking the rotation center point A of the brake pedal 10 as the center of the circle and the distance of AB as the radius, the circular motion trajectory of the connection hole 110 on the brake pedal 10 can be generated.

[0065] It should be further noted that the design method provided by the embodiments of the present invention further includes the following steps: in the vehicle assembly stage, adjust the installation position and angle of the booster according to the optimized design parameters to ensure that the assembly error between the brake pedal 10 and the booster rod fork 20 is less than the process tolerance requirement, so as to improve the assembly convenience. Moreover, since there is no misalignment in the assembly of the brake pedal 10 and the booster rod fork 20 at the initial position of the brake pedal 10, and the misalignment is extremely small at the braking limit position of the brake pedal 10, when the brake pedal 10 pushes the booster to work, there is almost no abnormal wear of the relevant parts inside the booster, ensuring the working durability of the booster.

[0066] It should be noted that for the sake of convenience of description, only the parts related to the relevant invention are shown in the drawings. Without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
