[0002] Automatic transmission vehicles use a single pedal to control both acceleration and braking, simplifying operation, preventing accidents caused by accidental pedal application, and reducing vehicle costs. Existing solutions often utilize a one-way pedal motion: when pedal travel exceeds a set value, it is interpreted as an acceleration signal, and when it falls within this value, it is interpreted as a braking signal. Furthermore, due to ergonomic considerations, the limited pedal travel makes it difficult for the driver to control both light throttle and brake applications. If the driver's foot accidentally slips from the pedal while driving, emergency braking is triggered, compromising driving safety. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following describes preferred embodiments of the present invention in greater detail. Although preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a pedal device for a car, which includes a pedal assembly 10 and a connecting structure 20. The pedal assembly 10 is connected to the vehicle body 50 through the connecting structure 20. The connecting structure 20 can allow the pedal assembly 10 to move from a neutral position to at least two different directions.

[0030] Furthermore, the device further includes a position detection component 30 for detecting the position of the pedal assembly 10. In specific implementations, various existing technologies such as visual sensors, distance sensors, and angle sensors can be used. The present invention does not limit the specific type, model, or installation location of the position detection component 30.

[0031] Specifically, when the pedal assembly 10 moves from the neutral position to one direction, the position information detected by the position detection component 30 can be used as a triggering basis for triggering the acceleration control signal; when the pedal assembly 10 moves from the neutral position to the other direction, the position information detected by the position detection component 30 can be used as a triggering basis for triggering the braking control signal; when the pedal assembly 10 is in the neutral position, neither the acceleration control signal nor the braking control signal is triggered; in this way, the two different movement directions of the pedal assembly 10 respectively control acceleration and braking, which increases the operating stroke, facilitates operation control, and solves the problem in the prior art that the pedal device used for automobiles can only move in one direction, is prone to misoperation, and has difficulty in controlling small throttle and braking.

[0032] Furthermore, the device further includes a return component 40 , which can apply a force to the pedal assembly 10 to keep or return the pedal assembly 10 to a neutral position.

[0033] Specifically, when the pedal assembly 10 is not in the neutral position and the driver's foot suddenly leaves the pedal assembly 10, the return member 40 returns the pedal assembly 10 to the neutral position, preventing the acceleration or braking signals from being triggered accidentally due to the foot slipping. In practice, a linear elastic member may be used to connect the vehicle body 50 and the pedal assembly 10, a torsional elastic member may be installed at the connection structure 20, or other various methods known in the art may be used. Therefore, the present invention does not limit the specific structure or installation location of the return member 40.

[0034] Optionally, the pedal assembly 10 includes a pedal body 11 and a pedal arm 12 , the pedal body 11 is connected to one end of the pedal arm 12 , and the other end of the pedal arm 12 is movably connected to the vehicle body 50 via a connecting structure 20 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the driver controls the movement direction of the pedal assembly 10 by contacting the pedal body 11 with his foot, thereby controlling the acceleration and braking of the vehicle.

[0036] Furthermore, the pedal body 11 includes a brake pedal 11 a and an accelerator pedal 11 b , and a gap is provided between the brake pedal 11 a and the accelerator pedal 11 b .

[0037] In this embodiment, the brake pedal 11a is arranged at the bottom, and the accelerator pedal 11b is arranged at the top. Figures 2 to 4As shown in the figure, the dotted position is the neutral position. The driver's foot is inserted into the gap between the brake pedal 11a and the accelerator pedal 11b, and the foot lifts the accelerator pedal 11b, and the pedal body 11 moves above the neutral position to trigger the acceleration signal, and the car enters the acceleration state; the driver's foot presses down the brake pedal 11a, and the pedal body 11 moves below the neutral position to trigger the braking signal, and the car enters the braking state; when the driver's foot does not apply force, the pedal body 11 returns to the neutral position, and neither the acceleration control signal nor the braking control signal is triggered, and the car enters the coasting state, realizing the control of the car.

[0038] Optionally, the pedal arm 12 includes a first arm 12a and a second arm 12b, one end of the first arm 12a is connected to the accelerator pedal 11b, one end of the second arm 12b is connected to the brake pedal 11a, and the other end of the first arm 12a is connected to the other end of the second arm 12b.

[0039] Specifically, the second arm 12b can serve as the main arm and be rotatably connected to the vehicle body. The rotatable connection can rotate around the rotating shaft. Then, it is obvious that the action of the pedal assembly is the rotation of the pedal assembly with the rotating shaft as the rotation axis. The first arm 12a can be connected to the second arm 12b, and then the accelerator pedal 11b and the brake pedal 11a are respectively connected through the first arm 12a and the second arm 12b.

[0040] Furthermore, the brake pedal 11 a is wider than the accelerator pedal 11 b , which facilitates pedaling and prevents the driver from failing to step on the brake pedal 11 a due to nervousness in an emergency.

[0041] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, the return component 40 is a spring, and a connecting plate 21 is provided at the end of the connecting structure 20 . One end of the spring is connected to the vehicle body 50 , and the other end of the spring is connected to the connecting plate 21 .

[0042] Specifically, the spring has the ability to self-recover after being stretched and the ability to self-recover after being compressed, and can keep the pedal assembly 10 in a neutral position in its natural state.

[0043] Furthermore, the position detection component 30 is connected to the ECU and the ESP for communication. The position detection component 30 can send the position information of the pedal assembly 10 to the ECU and the ESP in real time, thereby controlling the vehicle.

[0044] Optionally, the position detection component 30 is a Hall sensor, which can be arranged on the rotating shaft. The Hall sensor converts the physical position signal into an electrical signal and communicates with the ECU and the ESP.

[0045] The utility model also provides a car, comprising the pedal device for the car of the utility model.

[0046] Specifically, a car that adopts the above-mentioned pedal device for a car has a larger operating stroke when accelerating and braking, which is convenient for operation and control and not easy to operate incorrectly. Even if the foot accidentally slips off the pedal assembly, the pedal assembly will automatically return to the neutral position, which is safer.

[0047] While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above description is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive, and not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
