[0027] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] The following reference Figures 1 to 4 This application describes a device for measuring the lateral distance of automotive pedals according to some embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the automotive pedal lateral distance measuring device provided according to some embodiments of this application includes a mounting foot 100, a locking nut 110, an adjusting arm 200, a cylindrical tube 210, a mounting base 300, and a measuring probe 400. The mounting foot 100 includes a thick cylinder and a thin cylindrical rod; the adjusting arm 200 extends through the thick cylinder, and its position on the thick cylinder can be adjusted according to the distance between the brake pedal 500 and the accelerator pedal 600; the locking nut 110 is disposed on the thick cylinder for fixing the adjusting arm 200; the cylindrical tube 210 is fixedly connected to the adjusting arm 200; the mounting base 300 is connected to the thin cylindrical rod; and the measuring probe 400 is disposed on the cylindrical tube 210.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting foot 100 consists of a thick cylinder and a thin cylindrical rod. The thick cylinder is used for mounting the adjusting arm 200, and the thin cylindrical rod is used for connecting to the mounting base 300. The adjusting arm 200 can slide along the thick cylinder to the corresponding position according to the distance between the brake pedal 500 and the accelerator pedal 600. After the position of the adjusting arm 200 is determined, the locking nut 110 is tightened to fix the adjusting arm 200 on the thick cylinder and prevent it from sliding. The cylindrical tube 210 is used to connect the adjusting arm 200 to the measuring probe 400. The mounting base 300 contacts the brake pedal 500 and is connected to the thin cylindrical rod to support the entire measuring device. The measuring probe 400 contacts the edge of the accelerator pedal 600, and the thin cylindrical rod contacts the edge of the brake pedal 500. The distance between the measuring probe 400 and the thin cylindrical rod is the pedal distance.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting arm 200 is long and narrow, and the mounting leg 100 is movably connected to the adjusting arm 200.

[0033] In this embodiment, the adjusting arm 200 has a long extension direction and is elongated. It is movably connected to the mounting foot 100, so the adjusting arm 200 can move within a certain range along the mounting foot 100 to adapt to the measurement of pedals with different spacings and improve the flexibility of the measuring device.

[0034] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a rectangular receiving cavity is provided inside the thick cylinder, which is used to accommodate the adjusting arm 200.

[0035] In this embodiment, the adjusting arm 200 can move and adjust along a certain direction within the rectangular receiving cavity, enabling multi-directional adjustment to meet different usage needs.

[0036] In some possible embodiments, the locking nut 110 is provided with an internal thread that mates with the external thread of the coarse cylindrical body.

[0037] In this embodiment, the internal thread of the locking nut 110 engages with the external thread of the coarse cylinder. That is, by rotating the locking nut 110, the range of the cavity inside the coarse cylinder is reduced, thereby fixing the adjusting arm 200 in the cavity and fixing the position of the adjusting arm 200 measured. This prevents the position of the adjusting arm 200 from shifting during the movement of the measuring device, which would affect the accuracy of the data.

[0038] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting arm 200 and the cylindrical tube 210 are an integral structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the adjusting arm 200 and the cylindrical tube 210 are an integral structure with no connection gap. Therefore, during operation, the overall structure will not become less stable due to loosening or deformation of the connection parts, thus affecting the measurement accuracy.

[0040] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a through hole is provided inside the cylindrical tube 210, which is used to accommodate the measuring probe 400.

[0041] In this embodiment, the through hole and the cylindrical tube 210 are interference-fitted, and the friction measuring probe 400 can move within the through hole so that the measuring probe 400 can contact the accelerator pedal 600 at different heights. This makes the measuring device suitable for measuring pedals at different heights, improving the flexibility and versatility of the measuring device.

[0042] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 300 has a through hole for accommodating a thin cylindrical rod.

[0043] In this embodiment, after the mounting base 300 is fixed on the brake pedal 500, a thin cylindrical rod is inserted into the through hole of the mounting base 300. At the same time, when the mounting base 300 is installed on the brake pedal 500, the through hole is aligned with the edge line of the brake pedal 500, providing a reference for the installation of the mounting base 300 and improving the installation accuracy of the mounting base 300.

[0044] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the length of the measuring probe 400 is greater than the length of the thin cylindrical rod.

[0045] In this embodiment, the brake pedal 500 is higher than the accelerator pedal 600 in the car pedal system. A longer measuring probe 400 contacts the accelerator pedal 600, and the longer measuring probe 400 can cover a larger measuring space. The thin cylindrical rod contacts the edge of the brake pedal 500. Therefore, the distance between the thin cylindrical rod and the measuring probe 400 is the distance between the brake pedal 500 and the accelerator pedal 600.

[0046] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the measuring probe 400 has the same thickness as the thin cylindrical rod.

[0047] In this embodiment, the measuring probe 400 is the same thickness as the thin cylindrical rod to prevent measurement errors caused by its own size during the measurement process and improve the reliability of the measurement.

[0048] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the measuring device also includes: a brake pedal 500, which contacts the mounting base 300; and an accelerator pedal 600, with the measuring probe 400 contacting the edge of the accelerator pedal 600.

[0049] In this embodiment, the mounting base 300 is mounted on top of the brake pedal 500, and the thin cylindrical rod of the mounting leg 100 is inserted into the through hole of the mounting base 300 and contacts the edge of the brake pedal 500. The measuring probe 400 contacts the edge of the accelerator pedal 600. The distance between the thin cylindrical rod and the measuring probe 400 is the distance between the brake pedal 500 and the accelerator pedal 600.

[0050] When operating the automotive pedal lateral distance measuring device, the driver's seat of the vehicle to be measured is moved to its rearmost position to provide sufficient space for measurement. The mounting base 300 is then placed on the brake pedal 500, and the through hole in the mounting base 300 is aligned with the edge of the brake pedal 500 near the accelerator pedal 600. The mounting base 300 is then fixed in place, and the mounting leg 100 is inserted into its through hole. The thin cylindrical rod then contacts the edge of the brake pedal 500. Simultaneously, the length of the measuring probe 400 is adjusted so that it contacts the edge of the accelerator pedal 600 near the brake pedal 500. The adjusting arm 200 then moves along the mounting leg... Move the foot 100 inwards. With the foot 100, measuring probe 400 in contact with the corresponding brake pedal 500 and accelerator pedal 600, adjust the extension length of the adjusting arm 200 to the minimum. Then rotate the locking nut 110 to fix the adjusting arm 200 to the foot 100 and remove it from the mounting base 300. Measure and record the distance between the thin cylindrical rod and the measuring probe 400. Remove the mounting base 300 and install it at different edges of the brake pedal 500. Repeat the above steps to obtain the minimum measurement value, which is the minimum lateral distance between the brake pedal 500 and the accelerator pedal 600.
