The following will describe some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention relates to a test accelerator pedal locking fixture, which is used to lock the accelerator pedal during testing, and includes a base 1, a support frame 2, and an adjustment mechanism 3.

[0019] The base 1 is used to limit and support the entire tooling. It is positioned on the driver's seat floor and adapted to the accelerator pedal. Its weight is greater than the locking force of the adjustment mechanism 3 to ensure that the entire tooling is locked to the accelerator pedal. To reduce the weight of the tooling while adapting to the locking force of different vehicle models, the base 1 includes a base 11 and a movable counterweight 12. The counterweight 12 can be added or removed as needed. Light vehicles do not require counterweights, while heavy vehicles need to add them as needed.

[0020] One end of the support frame 2 is fixedly welded to the base 1, and the other end extends freely upward to match the accelerator pedal. A U-shaped groove 21 is provided at the top of the free end. The support frame 2 can be an angle steel structure, including a horizontal part welded to the base 11 and a vertical part welded to the base 1. The U-shaped groove 21 is provided at the top of the free end of the horizontal part.

[0021] The adjustment mechanism 3 is located in the U-shaped groove 21 of the support frame 2. It is used to adjust the position relative to the center of the accelerator pedal and to precisely adjust the depth of the accelerator pedal according to the required vehicle speed to ensure a constant and uniform vehicle speed. The mechanism includes a screw 31 and a pair of locking nuts 32. The screw 31 is perpendicular to the support frame 2 and passes through the U-shaped groove 21. The pair of locking nuts 32, with a diameter larger than the width of the U-shaped groove 21, are located on both sides of the U-shaped groove 21 and are threadedly engaged with the screw 31 to assemble and fix the screw 31 to the support frame 2. The screw 31 first moves up and down along the U-shaped groove 21 to the center of the accelerator pedal. Then, the screw 31 is adjusted downwards to press the accelerator pedal for precise depth adjustment. Finally, the locking nuts 32 lock the screw 31 in place, ensuring a constant vehicle speed.

[0022] Furthermore, the base 11 of the base 1 adopts a box-type structure with an open top, and the storage space of the base 11 facilitates the placement and removal of the counterweight 12. The base 11 can be any shape such as square, elliptical, or circular.

[0023] Furthermore, the support frame 2 can be an I-beam structure or other structure that can provide support, and a guide groove is provided at the top of the free end.

[0024] Furthermore, an adjustment handle 33 is provided at the upper end of the screw 31 of the adjustment mechanism 3, and the screw 31 is rotated by the adjustment handle 33 to press down the accelerator pedal;

[0025] Screw 31 is a precision ball screw with a pitch of 1-3mm.

[0026] The specific operation of the experimental accelerator pedal locking fixture of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] Place the fixture on the driver's seat floor in a position that corresponds to the accelerator pedal, so that the adjustment mechanism 3 matches the accelerator pedal. Loosen the locking nut 32 until the screw 31 can move relative to the U-shaped groove 21 of the support frame 2. Adjust the screw 31 to the center position of the accelerator pedal. Rotate the adjustment handle 33 to adjust the depth of the screw 31 pressing onto the accelerator pedal. Make precise depth adjustments according to the vehicle speed required for the test. After adjustment, lock the screw 31 with a pair of locking nuts 32 from the top and bottom. At the same time, if the base 1 tilts upward, add counterweight to ensure the stability of the base. Finally, the vehicle maintains a constant speed, thus overcoming the problem that speed fluctuations caused by manual operation can affect the accuracy of the test results.

[0028] The experimental accelerator pedal locking fixture of this utility model is suitable for laboratory and real vehicle testing scenarios, and its technical advantages are as follows:

[0029] 1. High constant speed control accuracy: screw adjustment error ≤ ±0.5%, vehicle speed fluctuation rate <1%;

[0030] 2. No vehicle modification required: Seamless connection with the original vehicle pedals is achieved through mechanical adaptation;

[0031] 3. Strong compatibility: Supports accelerator / electric pedals in gasoline vehicles and electric vehicles;

[0032] 4. Low-cost alternative: Compared with manual operation, the cost is reduced by more than 60%.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this application is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be embraced within this application.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it.
