Abstract

To provide an interlocking control device for acceleration and braking of an automobile, which can effectively prevent safety problems caused by a driver mistaking an accelerator pedal for a brake pedal, has a simple structure, is highly practical, and is applicable to various automobiles. [Solution] The vehicle acceleration and braking interlocking control device comprises an accelerator pedal (100), a protrusion that interlocks with the accelerator pedal, an acceleration control structure located at acceleration limit position (B), and a braking trigger structure located at braking trigger position (C). When the accelerator pedal is operated, the protrusion moves from initial position (A) to the acceleration limit position, causing acceleration. A spring-type damper structure is provided between the acceleration limit position and the braking trigger position, and is configured so that when the protrusion passes the acceleration limit position, the acceleration circuit is interrupted, and when the protrusion reaches the braking trigger position, the braking mechanism is activated. This device can quickly activate the brakes in the event of an incorrect operation, improving driving safety.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile control devices, and more particularly to a device for controlling the acceleration and braking operations of an automobile in a linked manner. [Background technology]

[0002] When a driver is nervous or panicked while driving a vehicle, they are prone to accidentally pressing the accelerator pedal (throttle pedal) instead of the brake pedal, which can result in a serious traffic accident. The acceleration and braking systems in conventional automobiles are controlled independently, and lack an effective interlocking mechanism to prevent such erroneous operation. In particular, in emergencies requiring a rapid response, existing structures make it difficult to immediately intervene in the event of an erroneous accelerator pedal depression, posing a safety issue. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art, to eliminate the safety problem caused by accidentally stepping on the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal, and to improve safety when driving a car.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical means: This device controls the interlocking of acceleration and braking of an automobile and includes an accelerator pedal, a protrusion that interlocks with the accelerator pedal, an acceleration control structure provided at an acceleration limit position, and a braking trigger structure provided at a braking trigger position. Operation of the accelerator pedal causes the protrusion to move from an initial position to the acceleration limit position, accelerating the vehicle. A spring-type damper structure is provided between the acceleration limit position and the braking trigger position, and is configured so that if the protrusion moves further after reaching the acceleration limit position, the acceleration circuit is interrupted, and the braking mechanism is activated when the protrusion reaches the braking trigger position. Preferably, the acceleration control structure is for controlling the acceleration of the vehicle to an upper limit when the convex portion is at an acceleration limit position. Preferably, the braking trigger structure includes a sensor or a mechanical switch. Preferably, the protrusion and the accelerator pedal are configured to rotate about a central point via an interlocking mechanism.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This device achieves linked control of acceleration and braking by combining a protrusion that interacts with the accelerator pedal, an acceleration control mechanism located at the acceleration limit, a spring-type damper mechanism located between the acceleration limit and the braking trigger position, and a braking trigger mechanism at the braking trigger position. This allows the device to automatically cut off the acceleration circuit and activate the brakes even if the driver accidentally or in an emergency presses the accelerator pedal too hard, effectively preventing the dangers caused by accelerator pedal misoperation and significantly improving driving safety. The device's simple structure makes it suitable for a variety of vehicles, making it widely applicable. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of the vehicle acceleration and braking control device according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Working Example: As shown in Figure 1, the vehicle acceleration and braking interlocking control device of the present invention comprises an accelerator pedal, a protrusion interlocked with the accelerator pedal, an acceleration control structure provided at an acceleration limit position (position B), and a braking trigger structure provided at a braking trigger position (position C). The protrusion and the accelerator pedal rotate around a center point O via an interlocking mechanism, moving between the initial position (position A), the acceleration limit position (position B), and the braking trigger position (position C). When a driver performs normal acceleration operations, they depress the accelerator pedal, causing the bump to move from the initial position (position A) to the acceleration limit position (position B). At this time, the vehicle's acceleration system is activated, achieving normal acceleration. When the bump reaches the acceleration limit position (position B), the vehicle reaches its limit of acceleration, and acceleration is limited by the acceleration control structure at that position. If the driver presses the accelerator pedal harder in an emergency or by mistake, the protrusion will move to the brake trigger position (position C) against the spring damper structure located between the acceleration limit position (position B) and the brake trigger position (position C). During this movement, the vehicle's acceleration circuit is cut off, and acceleration output stops. Furthermore, when the protrusion reaches the brake trigger position (position C), the braking mechanism is activated via the brake trigger structure (sensor or mechanical switch), and the vehicle is braked. This prevents over-acceleration caused by accidental accelerator pedal depression, minimizing the occurrence of danger. In this embodiment, the brake trigger mechanism can use a position sensor, which sends a trigger signal to the brake system when it detects that the protrusion has reached the brake trigger position (position C). The spring-type damper mechanism also provides a resistance force, preventing the driver from easily depressing the brake pedal further after reaching the acceleration limit position (position B) during normal acceleration, except in an emergency. This allows for a clear distinction between normal acceleration operations and erroneous operations in an emergency. This device effectively prevents safety issues caused by the driver mistaking the accelerator pedal for the brake pedal, and improves driving safety by quickly applying the brakes in the event of an erroneous operation.The device has a simple structure and is highly practical, making it applicable to various types of automobiles.
