In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. Furthermore, the present application may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples, which are for the purpose of brevity and clarity, and which do not in themselves indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and/or arrangements discussed.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present application provides a control method for a vehicle accelerator pedal 10. The accelerator pedal 10 is arranged on an accelerator pedal base 30, the accelerator pedal base 30 is arranged on a vehicle body, a chute 50 is arranged on the accelerator pedal base 30, and the control method comprises the following steps:

01: detecting a driving state of the vehicle;

02: and controlling the accelerator pedal to slide along the chute according to the driving state.

Referring to fig. 3, the present application further provides a control device 20 of the vehicle accelerator pedal 10. The control device 20 includes an acquisition module 21 and a control module 22.

That is, step 01 may be implemented by the acquisition module 21, and step 02 may be implemented by the control module 22. That is, the acquisition module 21 is used to detect the driving state of the vehicle. The control module 22 is used for controlling the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 according to the driving state.

Referring to fig. 4, the vehicle of the present application is further provided with an accelerator pedal mount 30 and a dash panel 200. The accelerator pedal mount 30 may be provided on the dash panel 200 by a welded connection so that the accelerator pedal mount 30 is more firmly provided on the dash panel 200.

Referring to fig. 5, the chute 50 may be mounted on the accelerator pedal base 30 by a welded connection, so that the chute 50 is more firmly mounted on the accelerator pedal base 30. The chute 50 and the accelerator pedal base 30 may also be integrally formed during manufacture to provide a more consistent attachment of the chute 50 to the accelerator pedal 10.

The present application can detect the driving state of the vehicle first, and then control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 according to the driving state, thereby realizing the hiding and the stretching of the accelerator pedal 10. The driving state includes a normal driving state and an automatic driving state. The normal driving state means that the running of the vehicle needs to be controlled by the driver. The automatic driving state means that the running of the vehicle is controlled by the vehicle itself without the driver participating in the control.

Specifically, for example, referring to fig. 4, when it is detected that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the a direction by a preset distance, which may be, for example, 25cm, 25.5cm, 26cm, 26.5cm, 27cm, 27.5cm, 28cm, 28.5cm, 29cm, or the like, to slide the accelerator pedal 10 from the c position to the d position for hiding, so that the lower leg and the foot plate of the driver may be straightened to lie flat. For example, when the accelerator pedal 10 is slid in the direction a along the chute 50, the accelerator pedal 10 may be slid from the c position to the d position to slide the accelerator pedal 10 into the instrument panel 300 for hiding, so that the lower leg and the foot plate of the driver may be straightened to lie flat. Wherein sliding the accelerator pedal 10 into the instrument panel 300 to be hidden may mean that a partial region of the accelerator pedal 10 or the entire accelerator pedal 10 can be just above the lowest edge of the instrument panel 300.

It will be appreciated that the predetermined distance the accelerator pedal 10 can slide along the chute 50 is related to the length of the chute 50. That is, the preset distance the accelerator pedal 10 can slide is less than or equal to the length of the chute 50.

For another example, referring to fig. 6, when it is detected that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 slides along the chute 50 in the b direction by a predetermined distance to slide the accelerator pedal 10 from the d position to the c position for demonstration. For example, when the accelerator pedal 10 slides along the chute 50 in the b direction, the accelerator pedal 10 may be slid from the d position to the c position to slide the accelerator pedal 10 out of the instrument panel 300 for display. Wherein, the sliding of the accelerator pedal 10 out of the instrument panel 300 for presentation means that the accelerator pedal 10 can be restored from the hidden state to the original presentation state.

In addition, in another embodiment, when it is detected that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 may also slide along the chute 50 in a direction opposite to the direction b to hide the accelerator pedal 10, so that the lower leg and the foot plate of the driver may be straightened to lie flat.

When it is detected that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 may also slide along the chute 50 in a direction opposite to the direction a to show the accelerator pedal 10.

In this way, the control method of the vehicle accelerator pedal 10 of the present application installs the accelerator pedal 10 on the chute 50 of the accelerator pedal base 30, so that the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50 according to different driving states of the vehicle, so that when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from a normal driving state to an automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50 to hide the accelerator pedal 10, so as to provide a larger riding space for a driver, and improve riding comfort of the driver.

In addition, when the driving state is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the user can control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 by a control button or a voice system provided in the vehicle to conceal it. Wherein the user may be a driver or a non-driver.

When the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the user can control the accelerator pedal 10 from the exhibiting state to the hiding state by a control button provided at the vehicle. For example, the user presses the control button to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the direction a into the instrument panel 300 for hiding, as shown in fig. 4.

When the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the user can control the accelerator pedal 10 to switch from the display state to the hiding state by making a voice, for example, the voice made by the user is "hiding the accelerator pedal 10", and then the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the a direction to the instrument panel 300 for hiding according to the voice made by the user.

In this way, in the automatic driving state, the driver can control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 toward the direction a into the instrument panel 300 for hiding according to the requirement of the driver for the riding space, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is changed from the display state to the hiding state, and the most suitable riding space is provided for the driver.

Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, a vehicle has a sensor mounted thereon, and the control method includes:

03: detecting a driving state of the vehicle by a sensor;

04: the control sensor sends out a control signal according to the driving state;

05: and controlling the accelerator pedal to slide along the chute according to the control signal.

Referring to fig. 3, step 03 may be implemented by the acquisition module 21, and steps 04 and 05 may be implemented by the control module 22. That is, the acquisition module 21 is configured to detect a driving state of the vehicle by a sensor; the control module 22 is used for controlling the sensor to send out a control signal according to the driving state; the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 according to the control signal.

Wherein the driving state of the vehicle can be detected by a sensor. The sensor may be an ultrasonic radar, a laser sensor, a camera, a millimeter wave radar, or the like, without limitation. The control signals include a mask control signal and a show control signal.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the sensor detects that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the sensor issues a masking control signal according to the driving state, and controls the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the a direction so as to mask the accelerator pedal 10.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the sensor detects that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the sensor issues a presentation control signal according to the driving state, and controls the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the b direction to present the accelerator pedal 10.

In this way, the control method of the present application detects the driving state of the vehicle by installing the sensor on the vehicle, and when the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the control sensor sends a control signal to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide to the instrument panel 300 along the chute 50, so as to hide the accelerator pedal 10, provide a larger riding space for the driver, and improve the riding comfort of the driver.

Referring to fig. 8 and 2, in some embodiments, a motor 11 is disposed in an accelerator pedal 10, a driving wheel 113 is disposed at one end of a motor transmission shaft 111 of the motor 11, a rack 51 is disposed in a chute 50, a gear 13 meshed with the rack 51 is disposed on the accelerator pedal 10, and the driving wheel 113 is connected with the gear 13 through a transmission member 17, and the control method includes:

06: receiving a control signal through a motor;

step 05 comprises:

051: the motor is controlled to start working according to the control signal, so that the motor is used for controlling the driving wheel to rotate, and the driving wheel drives the gear to rotate through the transmission piece and is meshed with the rack, so that the accelerator pedal slides along the chute.

Referring to fig. 3, step 06 may be implemented by the obtaining module 21, and step 051 may be implemented by the control module 22. That is, the acquisition module 21 is configured to receive a control signal through the motor 11; the control module 22 is used for controlling the motor 11 to start working according to the control signal, so as to control the driving wheel 113 to rotate through the motor 11, and the driving wheel 113 drives the gear 13 to rotate through the transmission piece 17 and is meshed with the rack 51, so that the accelerator pedal 10 slides along the chute 50.

As shown in fig. 6, the rack 51 is connected in the chute 50 by welding, so that the rack 51 is more firmly disposed in the chute 50. As shown in fig. 2, the gear 13 may be connected to the accelerator pedal 10 through a gear shaft 15, so that the gear shaft 15 may rotate with the gear shaft 15 as a rotation axis.

The transmission member 17 may be a transmission belt, or may be a transmission rack 51 or the like capable of transmitting the driving force generated by the motor 11 to the gear 13, and is not limited thereto.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state and the motor 11 receives the control signal, the motor 11 is controlled to start to operate so as to drive the driving wheel 113 to rotate, and the driving member 17 drives the gear 13 to be combined with the rack 51 to rotate, so as to drive the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the a direction, and the accelerator pedal 10 is hidden.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state and the motor 11 receives the control signal, the motor 11 is controlled to start to operate so as to drive the driving wheel 113 to rotate, and the driving member 17 drives the gear 13 to be combined with the rack 51 to rotate, so as to drive the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the b direction, and the accelerator pedal 10 is displayed.

Thus, the control method of the present application controls the motor 11 to work through the control signal so as to drive the driving wheel 113 to rotate, and drives the gear 13 to rotate to be meshed with the rack 51 through the transmission piece 17, so that the accelerator pedal 10 slides to the instrument panel 300 along the chute 50, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is hidden, a larger riding space is provided for a driver, and riding comfort of the driver is improved.

In certain embodiments, step 02 comprises:

021: when the driving state is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal is controlled to slide along the chute in the first direction.

Referring to fig. 3, step 021 may be implemented by the control module 22. That is, the control module 22 is configured to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the first direction when the driving state is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state.

The first direction may be, for example, the direction a in fig. 4 or other directions away from the main driving seat, which is not limited herein. That is, the a-direction may be a direction away from the main drive seat.

The first direction is described as the direction a. For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the driving state is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 by a preset distance in the a direction to hide the accelerator pedal 10 by sliding from the c position to the d position. The predetermined distance may be, for example, 25cm, 25.5cm, 26cm, 26.5cm, 27cm, 27.5cm, 28cm, 28.5cm, and 29cm, and is not limited thereto.

It will be appreciated that the predetermined distance that the accelerator pedal 10 can slide in the first direction of the chute 50 is related to the length of the chute 50. That is, the preset distance the accelerator pedal 10 can slide is less than or equal to the length of the chute 50.

In this way, when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the control method of the present application controls the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the first direction, so as to hide the accelerator pedal 10, thereby providing a larger riding space for the driver and improving the riding comfort of the driver.

In addition, when the driving state is switched from the normal state to the automatic driving state, the user can control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the first direction by a control button or a voice system provided in the vehicle. Wherein the user may be a driver or a non-driver.

When the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the user controls the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the first direction by the control button provided to the vehicle, and the user presses the control button, so that the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the first direction, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is changed from the display state to the hidden state. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide in the direction a along the chute 50 by pressing the control button, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is changed from the display state to the hidden state.

When the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the user can control the accelerator pedal 10 to change from the display state to the hidden state by making a voice, for example, the voice made by the user is "hidden accelerator pedal 10", and then the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the first direction according to the voice made by the user to change the accelerator pedal 10 from the display state to the hidden state.

In this way, in the automatic driving state, the driver can control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the first direction according to the requirement of the driver for the riding space, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is changed from the display state to the hidden state, and the most suitable riding space is provided for the driver.

In certain embodiments, step 02 comprises:

022: when the driving state is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Referring to fig. 3, step 022 may be implemented by the control module 22. That is, the control module 22 is configured to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in a second direction opposite to the first direction when the driving state is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state.

The second direction may be, for example, the b direction in fig. 6 or another direction opposite to the first direction, which is opposite to the main driving seat, which is not limited herein. That is, the b direction may be a direction opposite to the a direction facing the main drive seat.

The second direction is described below as a b direction. For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 by a preset distance in the b direction to show that the accelerator pedal 10 slides from the c position to the d position.

In this way, when the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the control method controls the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the second direction opposite to the first direction so as to display the accelerator pedal 10, thereby realizing automatic display of the accelerator pedal 10 and improving the intelligentization of the vehicle.

In addition, when the driving state is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the user can control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the second direction by a control button or a voice system provided in the vehicle.

When the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the user controls the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the second direction by the control button provided to the vehicle, and the user presses the control button, so that the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the second direction, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is changed from the hidden state to the display state. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide in the b direction along the chute 50 by pressing the control button, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is changed from the hidden state to the exhibited state.

When the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the user can control the accelerator pedal 10 to change from the contracted state to the expanded state by making a voice, for example, the voice made by the user is "show the accelerator pedal 10", and then the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the b direction according to the voice made by the user, so that the acceleration is changed from the hidden state to the show state.

In this way, when the automatic driving state is switched to the normal driving state, the driver can control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the second direction according to his driving habit, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is changed from the hidden state to the display state, and the accelerator pedal 10 is provided for the driver.

Referring to fig. 3, the present application further provides a control device 20 of the vehicle accelerator pedal 10. The specific control device 20 is as described above and will not be described here again.

In this way, the control device of the vehicle accelerator pedal 10 of the present application installs the accelerator pedal 10 on the chute 50 of the accelerator pedal base 30, so that the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50 according to different driving states of the vehicle, so that when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from a normal driving state to an automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50, the accelerator pedal 10 is hidden, a larger riding space is provided for the driver, and the riding comfort of the driver is improved.

Referring to fig. 2, the present application also provides an accelerator pedal structure 100 of a vehicle. The accelerator pedal structure 100 includes an accelerator pedal base 30 and an accelerator pedal 10. The accelerator pedal base 30 is provided on the vehicle body, and a chute 50 is mounted on the accelerator pedal base 30. The accelerator pedal 10 is disposed on the accelerator pedal base 30, and the accelerator pedal 10 is slidable along the chute 50.

The chute 50 may be provided in the vehicle body Z direction or in the vehicle body Y direction, and is not limited thereto. In this way, by sliding the chute 50 in the vehicle body Z direction or Y direction, the accelerator pedal 10 can slide in the chute direction so as to avoid the driver's foot, and the driver's lower leg and foot plate can be straightened and laid flat.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the a direction so as to slide the accelerator pedal 10 into the instrument panel 300 for concealment.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 is controlled to slide along the chute 50 in the b direction to slide the accelerator pedal 10 out of the instrument panel 300 for presentation.

In this way, the control device of the vehicle accelerator pedal 10 of the present application installs the accelerator pedal 10 on the chute 50 of the accelerator pedal base 30, so that the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50 according to different driving states of the vehicle, so that when the driving state of the vehicle is switched from a normal driving state to an automatic driving state, the accelerator pedal 10 can be controlled to slide along the chute 50 to hide the accelerator pedal 10, so that a larger riding space is provided for a driver, and riding comfort of the driver is improved.

In some embodiments, the vehicle has a sensor mounted thereon. The sensor is used for detecting the driving state of the vehicle and sending out a control signal according to the driving state.

Wherein the control signals include a hide control signal and a show control signal. That is, the masking control signal is used to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in a first direction, for example, in the a direction as shown in fig. 4 to mask the accelerator pedal 10. The presentation control signal is used to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in a second direction, for example, in the direction b as shown in fig. 6, to present the accelerator pedal 10. The sensor is electrically connected to the accelerator pedal 10, and is not limited thereto.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the sensor detects that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, the sensor issues a masking control signal to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the a direction so as to mask the accelerator pedal 10.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the sensor detects that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the automatic driving state to the normal driving state, the sensor issues a presentation control signal to control the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the b direction so as to present the accelerator pedal 10.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, a motor 11 is disposed in an accelerator pedal 10, a driving wheel 113 is disposed at one end of a motor transmission shaft 111 of the motor 11, a rack 51 is disposed in a chute 50, a gear 13 meshed with the rack 51 is disposed on the accelerator pedal 10, and the driving wheel 113 is connected to the gear 13 through a transmission member 17. The motor 11 is configured to receive the control signal and control rotation of the driving wheel 113 via the motor transmission shaft 111 according to the control signal. The driving wheel 113 drives the gear 13 to rotate through the transmission member 17, so that the gear 13 is meshed with the rack 51, and the accelerator pedal 10 is driven to slide along the chute 50.

In one embodiment, the motor 11 may be fixedly mounted in the accelerator pedal 10 by screwing. Thus, the motor 11 is installed in the accelerator pedal 10 in a screwed connection manner, so that the motor 11 can be conveniently replaced when damaged.

In another embodiment, the motor 11 may be fixedly mounted within the accelerator pedal 10 by welding. Thus, when the motor 11 is mounted in the accelerator pedal 10 by means of a welded connection, the motor 11 can be more firmly mounted in the accelerator pedal 10.

The motor 11 may be a direct current motor 11, a variable frequency motor 11, an alternating current motor 11, or the like, without limitation.

The driving wheel 113 may be coupled to one end of a motor transmission shaft 111 provided in the motor 11 by a snap-fit or toothed connection. Because the engagement or toothed connection is a detachable connection, the drive wheel 113 can be replaced when damaged.

The rack 51 may be disposed in the chute 50 by means of a welded connection so that the rack 51 is more firmly disposed in the chute 50. The length of the rack 51 is less than or equal to the length of the chute 50 so that the accelerator pedal 10 can slide along the chute 50 through the rack 51 to hide or reveal the accelerator pedal 10.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, first, when the sensor detects that the driving state of the vehicle is switched from the normal driving state to the automatic driving state, a control signal is output and sent to the motor 11. Then, the motor 11 controls the driving wheel 113 to rotate through the motor transmission shaft 111 according to the control signal, and drives the gear 13 to rotate through the transmission piece 17, so that the gear 13 is meshed with the rack 51 to drive the accelerator pedal 10 to slide along the chute 50 in the direction a, so that the accelerator pedal 10 is hidden, the lower leg and the foot plate of the driver can be straightened, and lying flat is realized. For example, when the accelerator pedal slides in the direction a along the chute 50, the accelerator pedal 10 may be slid into the instrument panel 300 for hiding, so that the lower leg and the foot plate of the driver may be straightened to achieve lying.

Therefore, the control method of the present application controls the motor 11 to work through the control signal, and drives the driving wheel 113 to rotate, and drives the gear 13 to rotate to be meshed with the rack 51 through the transmission piece 17, so that the accelerator pedal 10 slides to the instrument panel 300 along the chute 50, so as to hide the accelerator pedal 10, provide a larger riding space for a driver, and improve riding comfort of the driver.
