Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Fahrpedaleinheit. Fahrpedaleinheiten sind bekannt. In der DE-OS 195 00 569 A1 wird ein Fahrpedal für die Leistungssteuerung einer Brennkraftmaschine beschrieben, die einen durch Fußkraft zu betätigenden, von einer Rückstellfeder in Leerlaufstellung vorgespannten, schwenkbar gelagerten Hebel aufweist. Gegen diesen ist eine als wendelförmige Druckfeder ausgebildete Rückstellfeder abgestützt. Ihr hebelseitiges Ende ist an dem Hebel und ihr anderes Ende an einem ortsfesten Widerlager gegen Verdrehung gesichert. Eine Federführung verhindert ein seitliches Ausweichen der Federwindungen der Druckfeder.The invention relates to an accelerator pedal unit. Accelerator pedal units are known. In DE-OS 195 00 569 A1 becomes an accelerator pedal for power control of a Internal combustion engine described, the one by Fußkraft too actuated, by a return spring in neutral position biased, pivotally mounted lever. Versus this is designed as a helical compression spring Restored spring. Your lever end is at the Lever and its other end on a fixed abutment secured against rotation. A spring guide prevents a lateral deflection of the spring coils of the compression spring.
Aus der US 5,868,040 ist eine Fahrpedaleinheit bekannt, wie sie im Oberbegriff des beigefügten Anspruches 1 beschrieben ist. Bei dieser Fahrpedaleinheit umschließt die Öse die Achse vollständig oder wenigstens nahezu vollständig. Ein seitlich angeordneter Hebel ist mit einer Rückstellfeder verbunden. Die seitlich über ein Gelenk angeordneten Hebel vergrößern den Raumbedarf, der im Fußraum eines Kraftfahrzeuges nur sehr beschränkt vorhanden ist. Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Öse geschlitzt ausgeführt und es ist kein Hebel mit Gelenk vorgesehen. Bei dieser Variante lässt sich der gewünschte Tretwiderstand nur schwer einhalten.From US 5,868,040 an accelerator pedal unit is known as they are described in the preamble of appended claim 1 is. In this accelerator pedal unit, the eyelet encloses the Axis complete or at least almost complete. One laterally arranged lever is equipped with a return spring connected. The levers arranged laterally over a joint increase the space required in the footwell of a Motor vehicle is only very limited available. At a Another embodiment, the eyelet is slotted and there is no lever with joint provided. At this Variant, the desired pedaling resistance is difficult comply.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fahrpedaleinheit zu schaffen, bei der der Tretwiderstand mit zunehmender Tretbewegung zunimmt und die einen geringen Raumbedarf hat. The invention is based on the object To provide accelerator pedal unit in which the pedaling resistance with Increasing pedaling increases and the slightest Has space requirements.
Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird durch eine Fahrpedaleinheit gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Unter der Bezeichnung Fahrpedaleinheit sind elektronische Fahrpedaleinheiten zu verstehen, deren jeweilige Tretposition mit einem elektrischen Sensor erfasst wird. Die Öse kann nahezu ringförmig bzw. nahezu rohrstückförmig gestaltet sein. Sie umgreift die waagrecht angeordnete, ortsfeste Achse teilweise, wobei ein gewisses Spiel gegeben ist, so dass der Pedalarm mit der Öse um die waagrecht angeordnete, ortsfeste Achse verschwenkt werden kann. Die Öse umgreift dabei die waagrecht angeordnete, ortsfeste Achse teilweise, wobei das Umgreifen in der Regel 180° bis 270°, auf dem kreisförmigen Querschnitt der ortsfesten Achse bezogen, bedeutet. Der Hebel ist über ein Gelenk schwenkbar gelagert, was beispielsweise mit einem Stift erfolgen kann, der sowohl durch den Hebel als auch durch das der Fußauflage am weitesten entfernten Ende der Öse geführt wird. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, auf derartige Verbindungselemente zu verzichten und durch eine sinnvolle Werkstoffauswahl an der vorgegebenen Stelle des Gelenks einen Drehpunkt zu gewährleisten. Bei der Rückstellfeder handelt es sich um eine Spiralfeder, die während dem Tretvorgang auf Zug belastet wird. Es hat sich in überraschender Weise gezeigt, dass durch die vorgeschlagene Fahrpedaleinheit eine kontinuierliche Erhöhung der Reibungskraft mit fortschreitender Drehbewegung erreicht werden kann. Dies erfolgt zusätzlich durch die mit zunehmender Tretbewegung wachsende Anpresskraft, die vom Hebel auf die waagrecht angeordnete, ortsfeste Achse ausgeübt wird. Dies ist eine direkte Folge der Belastung der Rückstellfeder auf Zug, die umso stärker ist, je weiter der Pedalarm nach unten getreten wird. Die Erhöhung der Reibungskraft mit zunehmendem Durchtreten des Pedalarms kann dabei konstruktiv auf relativ einfache Weise erfolgen.The object underlying the invention is achieved by a Accelerator pedal unit solved according to claim 1.

The eyelet encloses the horizontally arranged, Fixed axis partially, with the encompassing in the rule 180 ° to 270 °, on the circular cross-section of stationary axis, means. The lever is over one Articulated pivotally mounted, for example, with a Pen can be done by both the lever and through the footrest furthest away from the eyelet to be led. However, it is also possible to such Dispense fasteners and a meaningful Material selection at the specified point of the joint one To ensure pivot point. The return spring is itself around a spiral spring, which during the pedaling on train is charged. It has turned out surprisingly that by the proposed accelerator pedal unit a continuous increase of the friction force with progressive rotational movement can be achieved. This additionally by the increasing pedaling motion Growing contact pressure, from the lever to the horizontal arranged, stationary axis is exercised. this is a direct consequence of the load of the return spring on train, the the stronger the further the pedal arm has gone down becomes. Increasing the frictional force with increasing Passing the pedal arm can be constructive on relative easy way done.

In Fig. 1 ist die Fahrpedaleinheit im Querschnitt in
vereinfachter Form dargestellt. Sie besteht aus einem
Pedalarm 1, einer Fußauflage 2 und einer am der Fußauflage 2
abgewandten Ende des Pedalarms 1 angeordneten Öse 3. Die Öse
3 umgreift eine waagrechte angeordnete, ortsfeste Achse 4
teilweise. Dabei werden vom Umfang her gesehen nahezu 230°
der ortsfesten Achse umgriffen. Die ortsfeste Achse 4 und die
Öse 3 sind dabei mindestens teilweise in einem Gehäuse 12
angeordnet. Am der Fußauflage 2 am weitesten entfernten Ende
der Öse 3' ist ein Hebel 5 über ein Gelenk 11 schwenkbar
gelagert. Als Gelenk 11 dient beispielsweise ein Stift, der
sowohl das am weitesten von der Fußauflage 2 entfernten Ende
der Öse 3' sowie den Hebel 5 durchläuft. Mit einer Seite 5'
ist der Hebel 5 ebenfalls an der ortsfesten Achse 4 anlegbar.
Die der einen Seite 5' abgewandte Seite 5" ist mit einer
Rückstellfeder 6 verbunden, die an dem dem Hebel 5
abgewandten Ende 6' mit dem Gehäuse 12 verbunden ist.In Fig. 1, the accelerator pedal unit in cross section in
simplified form shown. It consists of one
Pedalarm 1, a
Die Fahrpedaleinheit funktioniert dabei wie folgt. Sobald
über die Fußauflage 2 dem Pedalarm 1 eine Kraft zugeführt
wird, verschwenkt dieser im Uhrzeigersinn um die waagrecht
angeordnete, ortsfeste Achse 4. An der Außenseite der Öse 3
ist ein Vorsprung 7 angeordnet, der in einer Gehäuseführung 8
des Gehäuses 12 geführt wird. Wird der Pedalarm 1 mit Kraft
beaufschlagt, so wandert der Vorsprung 7 zwischen einem
ersten Anschlag 9 und einem zweiten Anschlag 10 des Gehäuses
12 zum zweiten Anschlag 10. An dem von der Fußauflage 2 am
weitesten entfernten Ende der Öse 3' kommt es über das Gelenk
11 zu einer Verschwenkung des Hebels 5 entgegen dem
Uhrzeigersinn. Mit seiner einen Seite 5' wird der Hebel 5 in
Pfeilrichtung an die waagrecht angeordnete, ortsfeste Achse 4
gepresst. Gleichzeitig wird die Rückstellfeder 6 gespannt,
