Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pedal simulator technology, specifically, it relates to a car pedal simulator. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, car driving simulators have become increasingly popular. A car driving simulator is a teaching device for driving training; the simulator pedal is one of the components of a driving simulator.

[0003] Currently, the foot pedal depth of simulators is generally detected by angular displacement sensors and displayed on a smart display. Currently, the pedal 2 shaft 4 and angular displacement sensor 3 are generally connected by gears. A certain gear ratio needs to be set, but gears are not standard parts. Most of the time, gears need to be designed and molds need to be made, which increases the cost significantly. How to reduce the cost of similar products is one of our research and development directions.

[0004] However, existing car simulator pedals cannot measure the force applied by the user when pressing the pedal. This makes it difficult for the user to accurately judge the amount of force used during the pressing process. As a result, some users may press the brake pedal too hard when driving normally. Over time, this can easily cause wear and tear on the brake components and reduce their service life.

[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] This car pedal simulator includes two mounting plates and a pedal. A base is mounted on the bottom of each mounting plate. The two mounting plates are symmetrical. A rotating mechanism and a moving mechanism are located on opposite side walls of the two mounting plates. The rotating mechanism drives the moving mechanism to rotate. A fixed plate is fixedly mounted on top of each mounting plate, and a connecting plate is mounted on each fixed plate. A guide hole is provided in the middle of the connecting plate. The pedal is located on the side of the rotating mechanism away from the moving mechanism. A spring rod is fixedly mounted on the base, and a connecting plate is mounted on the end of the spring rod away from the base. When the user simulates the motion, they step on the pedal. The pedal, with the assistance of a connecting rod, drives a rotating rod to rotate. When the connecting rod rotates, it causes a slider to press against the connecting plate, moving it downwards with the assistance of the spring rod. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating rod causes a cam to rotate. When the cam rotates, it presses against the moving rod, applying an upward force to the moving rod. This allows the moving rod, with the assistance of the guide hole in the connecting plate, to move a limiting plate upwards. The extent of the limiting plate's movement is measured, thus allowing the measurement of the user's pedal pressure.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating rod, with both ends of the rotating rod movably penetrating through a mounting plate. Bearings are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating rod, and the two bearings are symmetrical to each other and are respectively installed on opposite side walls of the two mounting plates. This determines the installation position and components of the rotating mechanism.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two symmetrical connecting rods are fixedly installed on the rotating rod. A foot pedal is installed at the end of each connecting rod furthest from the rotating rod. A sliding mechanism is provided at the bottom of each connecting rod, and a cam is provided in the middle of the rotating rod. This determines the installation position and connection relationship of the foot pedal.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism includes a moving rod that movably passes through a guide hole in the connecting plate. A limiting plate is fixedly installed at the upper end of the moving rod. By defining the installation position and components of the moving mechanism, it is ensured that when the cam rotates, it presses against the moving rod, applying an upward force. This allows the limiting plate to move upward with the assistance of the guide hole in the connecting plate. The amount of movement of the limiting plate is measured, thus allowing the measurement of the user's pedaling force.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sliding mechanism includes two slide grooves, each located at the bottom of a connecting rod. The two slide grooves are symmetrical to each other. A slider is slidably mounted within the inner cavity of each slide groove, and the two sliders are also symmetrical to each other. One end of each slider, away from the slide groove, is hinged to a connecting plate. A return spring is fixedly mounted on one side wall of each slider, and the other end of each return spring is connected to the inner wall of the two slide grooves. This design determines the installation position and components of the sliding mechanism, ensuring that when the connecting rods rotate, they can drive the sliders to press against the connecting plate and move downwards with the assistance of the spring rods.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base and the two mounting plates have multiple bolt holes that are equidistantly distributed, and each pair of bolt holes is provided with a connector, and each connector is fitted with a fixing bolt. This determines the installation position of the mounting plates.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] In this invention, when the rotating rod rotates, it can drive the cam to rotate. When the cam rotates, it can press against the moving rod, giving the moving rod an upward force. Therefore, with the help of the guide hole opened at the connecting plate, the moving rod can move the limiting plate upward. By measuring the amount of movement of the limiting plate, the value of the user's step can be measured.

[0015] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the car pedal simulator includes two mounting plates 1 and a pedal 6. The bottom of the two mounting plates 1 is equipped with a base 2. The two mounting plates 1 are symmetrical to each other. A rotating mechanism and a moving mechanism are provided on the opposite side wall of the two mounting plates 1. The rotating mechanism is used to drive the moving mechanism to rotate. A fixed plate 8 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two mounting plates 1. A connecting plate 9 is installed on the two fixed plates 8. A guide hole is opened in the middle of the connecting plate 9. The pedal 6 is provided on the side of the rotating mechanism away from the moving mechanism. A spring rod 15 is fixedly installed on the base 2. A connecting plate 14 is installed on the end of the spring rod 15 away from the base 2. When the user is simulating, they step on pedal 6. With the assistance of connecting rod 5, pedal 6 drives rotating rod 16 to rotate. When connecting rod 5 rotates, it drives slider 12 to press connecting plate 14 downward with the assistance of spring rod 15. At the same time, the rotation of rotating rod 16 drives cam 17 to rotate. When cam 17 rotates, it presses on moving rod 18, giving moving rod 18 an upward force. Therefore, with the assistance of the guide hole opened at connecting plate 9, moving rod 18 can make limiting plate 10 move upward. By measuring the amount of movement of limiting plate 10, the value of the user's step can be measured.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating rod 16, with both ends of the rotating rod 16 movably passing through the mounting plate 1. Bearings 7 are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating rod 16, and the two bearings 7 are symmetrical to each other and are respectively installed on opposite side walls of the two mounting plates 1. In this configuration, the installation position and components of the rotating mechanism are determined.

[0026] Furthermore, two symmetrical connecting rods 5 are fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 16. A foot pedal 6 is mounted at the end of each connecting rod 5 furthest from the rotating rod 16. A sliding mechanism is provided at the bottom of the two connecting rods 5, and a cam 17 is provided in the middle of the rotating rod 16. In this configuration, the installation position and connection relationship of the foot pedal 6 are determined.

[0027] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a moving rod 18, which movably passes through a guide hole in the connecting plate 9. A limiting plate 10 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the moving rod 18. In this configuration, the installation position and components of the moving mechanism are determined to ensure that when the cam 17 rotates, it can press against the moving rod 18, giving the moving rod 18 an upward force. Therefore, with the assistance of the guide hole in the connecting plate 9, the moving rod 18 can move the limiting plate 10 upward. By measuring the extent of movement of the limiting plate 10, the value of the user's pedaling can be measured.

[0028] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism includes two slide grooves 11, which are respectively formed at the bottom of the two connecting rods 5. The two slide grooves 11 are symmetrical to each other. A slider 12 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of each slide groove 11. The two sliders 12 are symmetrical to each other, and one end of each slider 12 away from the slide groove 11 is hinged to the connecting plate 14. A return spring 13 is fixedly installed on one side wall of each slider 12, and the other end of each return spring 13 is connected to the inner wall of the two slide grooves 11. In this configuration, the installation position and components of the sliding mechanism are determined, ensuring that when the connecting rod 5 rotates, it can drive the slider 12 to press the connecting plate 14 and move it downward with the assistance of the spring rod 15.

[0029] Furthermore, the base 2 and the two mounting plates 1 are provided with multiple bolt holes 19 evenly distributed, and each pair of bolt holes 19 is provided with a connector 3, and each connector 3 is screwed with a fixing bolt 4. In this configuration, the installation position of the mounting plate 1 is determined.

[0030] The implementation principle of the car pedal simulator in this embodiment is as follows: First, when the user is simulating, he steps on the pedal 6. The pedal 6 can drive the rotating rod 16 to rotate with the assistance of the connecting rod 5. When the connecting rod 5 rotates, it can drive the slider 12 to press the connecting plate 14 to move downward with the assistance of the spring rod 15. At the same time, when the rotating rod 16 rotates, it can drive the cam 17 to rotate. When the cam 17 rotates, it can press on the moving rod 18, giving the moving rod 18 an upward force. Therefore, the moving rod 18 can allow the limiting plate 10 to move upward with the assistance of the guide hole opened at the connecting plate 9. The amount of movement of the limiting plate 10 is measured, so the value of the user's pedal can be measured.
