Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels eines Kraftfahrzeuges, welcher schwenkbeweglich um eine als Lagerbolzen ausgebildeteThe invention relates to a device for mounting a pedal lever of a motor vehicle, which is pivotable about a bearing pin
Schwenkachse an einem Lagerbock gelagert ist. Ferner umfasst die Vorrichtung ein vom Lagerbock beabstandetes Widerlager sowie ein als doppelarmiger Hebel ausgebildetes Abreißorgan, welches zwischen dem Lagerbock und dem Widerlager angeordnet ist.Swivel axis is mounted on a bearing block. Furthermore, the device comprises an abutment spaced from the bearing block and a tear-off element designed as a double-armed lever, which is arranged between the bearing block and the abutment.
Die zunehmenden Anforderungen an Kraftfahrzeuge hinsichtlich einer Erhöhung der Sicherheit zeigen sich in zahlreichen Systemen. Bei Pedalbefestigungen besteht ein bekanntes Unfallrisiko darin, dass eine Verformung des Vorderwagens sich unmittelbar oder mittelbar auf die Pedalhebel auswirkt und diese in den Fußraum des Kraftfahrzeuges hinein bewegt werden. Die für den KraftfahrzeugfiLirirer damit verbundenen Risiken sind in schweren Verletzungen der unteren Gliedmaßen zu sehen, wie sie durch das Einklemmen zwischen den Pedalhebeln hervorgerufen werden können. Neben eines zwangsgeführten Schwenken der Pedalhebel aus dem Gefahrenbereich sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen im Falle einer Verlagerung des Lagerbocks in Richtung des Fahrzeuginnenraums die Pedalhebel vom Lagerbock getrennt werden, um so eine Gefährdung der Kraftfahrzeugführer zu vermeiden. Für den Abtrennvorgang wird dabei die durch den Unfall verursachte Krafteinleitung mit der damit verbundenen Verlagerung der Pedalhebelanbindung verwendet.The increasing demands on motor vehicles with regard to increasing safety are evident in numerous systems. In the case of pedal fastenings, there is a known risk of an accident that deformation of the front end has a direct or indirect effect on the pedal levers and that these are moved into the footwell of the motor vehicle. The risks associated with the motor vehicle fi lirer can be seen in serious injuries to the lower limbs, as can be caused by being caught between the pedal levers. In addition to forcibly pivoting the pedal levers out of the danger zone, devices are known in which the pedal levers are separated from the bearing block in the event of a displacement of the bearing block in the direction of the vehicle interior, in order to avoid endangering the motor vehicle drivers. The force application caused by the accident and the associated shifting of the pedal lever connection are used for the disconnection process.
Aus der EP 1 059 208 A2 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels bekannt, bei welcher mittels eines zwischen einem Lagerbock und einem Widerlager angeordnetes Abreißorgan der Pedalhebel in zwei Stufen vom Lagerbock abgetrennt wird. Das Abreißorgan ist dabei um die Schwenkachse des Pedalhebels am Lagerbock schwenkbeweglich gelagert und schwächt bei Verlagerung des Lagerbocks diesen in einer ersten Stufe dadurch, dass über am Lagerbock angeordnete Nasen der Lagerbock durch Ausbruch der Nasen und dieser umgebenden Materialteile geschwächt wird. Bei fortschreitender Verlagerung des Lagerbocks wird der gesamte um die Schwenkachse des Pedalhebels befindliche Bereich aus dem Lagerbock mitsamt des Pedalhebels und dem Abreißorgan vom Lagerbock abgetrennt. Neben der zweistufigen Abtrennung und der damit einhergehenden zeitlichen Verzögerung der Abtrennung der Pedalhebel, wodurch der Kraftfahrzeugfuhrer unter Umständen gefährdet werden kann, ist als besonders nachteilig anzusehen, dass große Bereiche des Lagerbocks zerstört werden. Hierzu sind zum einen größere Kräfte erforderlich und das in den Fußraum herabfallende Bauteil ist von erheblicher Baugröße, wodurch eine Gefährdung des Kraftfahrzeugführers nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann. Zudem erfolgt der Bruch des Lagerbocks in der zweiten Stufe im wesentlichen unkontrolliert. Die Vorrichtung an sich weist weiterhin einen relativ aufwendigen Aufbau auf.From EP 1 059 208 A2 a device for mounting a pedal lever is known, in which a device is arranged between a bearing block and an abutment Tear-off element of the pedal lever is separated from the bearing block in two stages. The tear-off member is pivotally mounted on the pedestal about the pivot axis of the pedal lever and weakens it in a first stage when the pedestal is displaced by weakening the pedestal by lugs arranged on the pedestal by breaking out of the lugs and surrounding material parts. As the bearing block moves forward, the entire area around the pivot axis of the pedal lever is separated from the bearing block together with the pedal lever and the tear-off member from the bearing block. In addition to the two-stage separation and the associated delay in the separation of the pedal levers, which may endanger the motor vehicle driver, it is particularly disadvantageous that large areas of the bearing block are destroyed. On the one hand, greater forces are required for this, and the component falling into the footwell is of considerable size, so that a hazard to the motor vehicle driver cannot be ruled out. In addition, the breakage of the bearing block in the second stage is essentially uncontrolled. The device itself also has a relatively complex structure.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels zu schaffen, welche die Gefährdung und den Schweregrad der Verletzungen des Kraftfahrzeugführers im Falle eines Unfalles weiter herabsetzt und ferner einen vereinfachten Aufbau aufweist.The object of the invention is to provide a device for mounting a pedal lever, which further reduces the risk and severity of injuries to the motor vehicle driver in the event of an accident and furthermore has a simplified structure.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe für eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The object is achieved for a generic device for mounting a pedal lever with the characterizing features of claim 1. Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß wird für eine Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels vorgeschlagen ein Abreißorgan beabstandet zur Schwenkachse des Pedalhebels am Lagerbock schwenkbeweglich zu lagern. Durch eine durch eine äußere Krafteinwirkung infolge eines Crashs verursachte Relativbewegung, zwischen dem Abreißorgan und dem Lagerbock, bewirkt das Abreißorgan unter Aufbringung einer Scherkraft die Abscherung der Schwenkachse des Pedalhebels. Bedingt durch die getrennte Lagerung von Pedalhebel und Abreißorgan, gelangen sowohl der Pedalhebel als auch das Abreißorgan nach dem Abschervorgang als getrennte und gegenüber dem Stand der Technik insgesamt recht kleine Bauteile in den Fußraum, wodurch die Verletzungsgefahr für den Klraftfahrzeugführer infolge eines Crashs herabgesetzt wird. Das Abreißorgan kann sich nach dem Abschervorgang ggf. zwischen dem Widerlager und dem Pedalbock verklemmen, so dass das Abreißorgan erst gar nicht in den Fußraum gelangt. Damit wird die Verletzungsgefahr für den Kraftfahrzeugführer weiter herabgesetzt.According to the invention it is proposed for a device for mounting a pedal lever to mount a tear-off element so that it can pivot on the bearing block at a distance from the pivot axis of the pedal lever. Due to a relative movement caused by an external force action as a result of a crash, between the tear-off element and the bearing block, the tear-off element causes shearing under the application of a shear force the pivot axis of the pedal lever. Due to the separate storage of the pedal lever and tear-off element, both the pedal lever and the tear-off element enter the footwell as separate components which are quite small compared to the prior art, which reduces the risk of injury to the driver of the vehicle as a result of a crash. After the shearing process, the tear-off element may get stuck between the abutment and the pedal bracket, so that the tear-off element does not even get into the footwell. This further reduces the risk of injury to the motor vehicle driver.
Das als doppelarmiger Hebel ausgebildete Abreißorgan liegt einenends an einem ortsfesten Widerlager und anderenends an der Schwenkachse des Pedalhebels an. Zwischen diesen beiden Enden stützt sich das Abreißorgan an einer bogenförmig ausgebildeten Kontur des Laberbocks ab, welche die schwenkbewegliche Lagerstelle des Abreißorgans ausbildet. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Kontur am Lagerbock konvex und kreisbogenförmig ausgebildet. Das Abreißorgan besitzt für eine definierteThe tear-off element designed as a double-armed lever rests on one end on a stationary abutment and on the other end on the pivot axis of the pedal lever. Between these two ends, the tear-off element is supported on an arcuate contour of the ram, which forms the pivotable bearing point of the tear-off element. In a preferred embodiment, the contour on the bearing block is convex and has the shape of a circular arc. The tear-off organ has a defined one

Auf diese Weise entsteht ein vereinfachter mechanischer Aufbau mit wenig zusätzlichen Elementen sowie wenigen und sehr einfachen konstruktiven Änderungen, womit ein kostengünstiges Crashsicherheitssystem realisiert werden kann.Pivoting movement a complementary concave arch. In this way, a simplified mechanical structure with few additional elements and few and very simple structural changes is created, with which an inexpensive crash safety system can be implemented.
Hierzu trägt unter anderem bei, dass das Abreißorgan besonders günstig als ein tiefgezogenes Profilteil ausgebildet sein kann, welches besonders einfach und kostengünstig herzustellen ist und dabei sämtliche notwendigen Funktionen aufnimmt. So kann das Widerlager bereits im Nichtgebrauchszustand formschlüssig in einer Einformung des Abreißorgans formschlüssig anliegen, so dass stets eine Funktionssicherheit gewährleistet ist. Insgesamt ist das Crashsicherheitssystem damit auch unanfällig gegen über Bauteiltoleranzen.Among other things, this contributes to the fact that the tear-off element can be designed particularly inexpensively as a deep-drawn profile part, which is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture and thereby takes on all the necessary functions. In this way, the abutment can already fit positively in an indentation of the tear-off element when it is not in use, so that functional reliability is always guaranteed. Overall, the crash safety system is therefore also not susceptible to component tolerances.
Vorteilhaft ist das Abreißorgan über ein Sicherung am Lagerbock gehalten, so dass die Vorrichtung zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels besonders günstig als vormontiertes Modul gefertigt werden kann. Damit können die Kosten weiter gesenkt werden. Weitere die Erfindung verbessernde Maßnahmen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben oder werden nachstehend gemeinsam mit der Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles der Erfindung anhand der Figuren näher dargestellt. Es zeigt:The tear-off element is advantageously held on the bearing block by means of a fuse, so that the device for mounting a pedal lever can be manufactured particularly inexpensively as a preassembled module. This can further reduce costs.

Die Vorrichtung 1 zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels 2 eines Kraftfahrzeuges zeigt einen mittels einer Verschraubung 3 karosserieseitig festgelegten Lagerbock 4 an dem der Pedalhebel 2 um eine Schwenkachse 5 schwenkbeweglich gelagert ist. Die Schwenkachse 5 ist als ein Lagerbolzen 6 ausgebildet, wobei beidseitig am Pedalhebel 2 um die Austrittsöffhung des Lagerbolzens seitliche runde Anformungen 18 angeordnet sind. Oberhalb und beabstandet vom Lagerbock 4 ist ein quer zur Fahrtrichtung F orientierter Fahrzeugquerträger 7 angeordnet, welcher unabhängig vom Lagerbock 4 an der Karosserie befestigt ist. An dem Fahrzeugquerträger sind im wesentlichen keilförmige Widerlager 8 angeordnet, welche mit ihrer Spitze in Fahrtrichtung F geneigt sind. Die Orientierung und Form der Widerlager ist nicht auf das gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt und kann je nach Anordnung von Lagerbock 4 und Fahrzeugquerträger 7 anders als dargestellt, erfolgen.The device 1 for mounting a pedal lever 2 of a motor vehicle shows a bearing block 4 which is fixed on the body side by means of a screw connection 3 and on which the pedal lever 2 is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 5. The pivot axis 5 is designed as a bearing pin 6, with lateral round projections 18 being arranged on both sides of the pedal lever 2 around the outlet opening of the bearing pin. Above and at a distance from the bearing block 4 there is a vehicle cross member 7 oriented transversely to the direction of travel F, which is attached to the body independently of the bearing block 4. Essentially wedge-shaped abutments 8 are arranged on the vehicle cross member, and their tips are inclined in the direction of travel F. The orientation and shape of the abutment is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown and, depending on the arrangement of the bearing block 4 and the vehicle cross member 7, can take place differently than shown.
Zwischen dem Lagerbock 4 und dem Widerlager 8 ist ein Abreißorgan 9 angeordnet, welches als ein doppelarmiger Hebel 10 ausgebildet ist und sich über die Abstützung 11 am Lagerbock 4 abstützt. Der doppelarmige Hebel 9 ist als ein tiefgezogenes Profilteil mit zwei seitlichen Schenkeln 12, welche eine Ausnehmung 13 seitlich begrenzen, sowie einer konkaven Einwölbung 14 ausgebildet. Die konkave Einwölbung 14 liegt an einer Anformung 15 des Lagerbocks 4 an, wobei die Anformung eine kreisförmig konvex gewölbte Kontur 16 besitzt. Die konvexe Kontur 16 und die konkave Einwölbung 14 sind aufeinander abgestimmt. Zur Halterung des Abreißorgans 9 am Lagerbock 4 können zusätzliche, nicht dargestellte Sicherungselemente verwendet werden, so dass das Abreißorgan 9 dem Lagerbock 4 zugeordnet ist und als vormontiertes Modul gefertigt werden kann.Arranged between the bearing block 4 and the abutment 8 is a tear-off element 9, which is designed as a double-armed lever 10 and is supported on the bearing block 4 via the support 11. The double-armed lever 9 is designed as a deep-drawn profile part with two lateral legs 12, which laterally delimit a recess 13, and a concave arch 14. The concave bulge 14 bears against a molding 15 of the bearing block 4, the molding having a circularly convex contour 16. The convex contour 16 and the concave arch 14 are matched to one another. Can hold the tear-off member 9 on the bearing block 4 Additional securing elements, not shown, are used, so that the tear-off element 9 is assigned to the bearing block 4 and can be manufactured as a preassembled module.

Die Breite der Ausnehmung 13 ist in diesem Bereich der Breite des Widerlagers 8 angepasst. n unteren Bereich umgreift der doppelarmige Hebel 10 mit seinen seitlichen Schenkeln 12 den Pedalhebel 2. Die Breite der Ausnehmung 13 ist in diesem Bereich der Breite des Pedalhebels 2 angepasst. Die seitlichen Schenkel 12 besitzen im Bereich des Lagerbolzens 6 eine weitere Ausnehmung 21, so dass die Kontur der Schenkel 12 auf die Form der seitlichen Anformungen 17 abgestimmt ist.Lever 10 into the recess 13 so that the side legs 12 and an upper limit 17 surround the abutment with a positive fit. The width of the recess 13 is adapted to the width of the abutment 8 in this region. In the lower region, the double-armed lever 10 grips the pedal lever 2 with its lateral legs 12. The width of the recess 13 is adapted to the width of the pedal lever 2 in this region. The lateral legs 12 have a further recess 21 in the area of the bearing pin 6, so that the contour of the legs 12 is matched to the shape of the lateral projections 17.
Im Falle eines Unfalles verformt sich der Vorderwagen und der Lagerbock 4 mit dem daran angelenkten Pedalhebel 2 wird in Richtung des Pfeils 19 in Richtung des Fahrzeuginnenraumes verschoben (Fig. 2). Der Fahrzeugquerträger 7 wird dabei weiterhin als feststehend betrachtet, so dass es zu einer Relatiwerschiebung zwischen dem Lagerbock 4 und dem Fahrzeugquerträger 7 kommt.In the event of an accident, the front end deforms and the bearing block 4 with the pedal lever 2 articulated thereon is displaced in the direction of arrow 19 in the direction of the vehicle interior (FIG. 2). The vehicle cross member 7 is still regarded as stationary, so that there is a relative displacement between the bearing block 4 and the vehicle cross member 7.

Sobald die vom doppelarmigen Hebel 10 ausgeübte Kraft auf den Lagerbolzen 6 einen bestimmten Betrag überschreitet schert der Lagerbolzen 6, welcher die Schwenkachse 5 ausbildet, ab und gibt den Pedalhebel 2 frei, so dass dieser frei in Fußraum fällt und den Kraftfahrzeugführer nicht mehr gefährden kann. Für eine definierte Abscherung des Lagerbolzens 6 ist an dem Lagebolzen 6 zumindest eine Sollbruchstellen 22 vorgesehen. Für eine einwandfreie sind aber, wie im Ausfuhrungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 3 dargestellt, bevorzugt zwei Sollbruchstellen 22 vorgesehen.Forming 15 on the bearing block 4 slides along a virtual pivot point within the bearing block 4. The two lateral legs 12 of the double-armed lever 9 come in contact with the lateral projections 18 of the pedal lever 2 in the region of their recess 21, a force being transmitted to the bearing pin 6. As soon as the force exerted by the double-armed lever 10 on the bearing pin 6 exceeds a certain amount, the bearing pin 6, which forms the pivot axis 5, shears off and releases the pedal lever 2 so that it falls freely into the footwell and the motor vehicle driver can no longer endanger. For a defined shearing of the bearing pin 6, at least one predetermined breaking point 22 is provided on the position pin 6. For a flawless, however, two predetermined breaking points 22 are preferably provided, as shown in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3.
Durch die Ausbildung des Abreißorgans 9 als tiefgezogenen doppelarmigen Hebel 10 mit zwei seitlichen Schenkeln 12 ist des weiteren eine optimierte Übersetzung der Kraft ermöglicht. Eingeleitet wird die zur Abscherung des Lagerbolzens 6 erforderliche Kraft über die großflächige Kontur 16 am Lagerbock 6. Die Weitergabe der Kraft auf den Lagerbolzen 6 erfolgt dagegen über die relativ schmalen seitlichen Schenkel 12 des doppelarmigen Hebels 10, wodurch im Bereich der Sollbruchstellen 22 die Kräfte konzentriert eingeleitet werden können. Zudem kann durch eine optimierte Wahl der Hebel, zwischen dem Auflager des Hebels 10 an der Kontur 16 des Lagerbocks 4 und dem Widerlager 8 sowie zwischen dem Auflager des Hebels 10 an der Kontur 16 des Lagerbocks 4 und der Ausnehmung 21, welche an den seitlichen Anformungen 18 des Pedalhebels 2 zum Anliegen kommt, die Kraft zur Abscherung des Lagerbolzens 6 beeinflusst werden.The design of the tear-off element 9 as a deep-drawn, double-armed lever 10 with two lateral legs 12 also enables an optimized transmission of the force. The force required to shear the bearing pin 6 is initiated via the large-area contour 16 on the bearing block 6. The force is, however, passed on to the bearing pin 6 via the relatively narrow side legs 12 of the double-armed lever 10, as a result of which the forces are concentrated in the area of the predetermined breaking points 22 can be initiated. In addition, through an optimized choice of levers, between the support of the lever 10 on the contour 16 of the bearing block 4 and the abutment 8, and between the support of the lever 10 on the contour 16 of the bearing block 4 and the recess 21, which act on the lateral projections 18 of the pedal lever 2 comes to rest, the force for shearing the bearing pin 6 can be influenced.
Das Abreißorgan 9 kann über ein Sicherungsorgan am Lagerbock 4 gehalten werden, so dass dieses auch nach dem der Pedalhebel 2 abgetrennt wurde, in einer denThe tear-off element 9 can be held on the bearing block 4 by means of a securing element, so that it is separated even after the pedal lever 2 has been disconnected
Kraftfahrzeugführer nicht gefährdenden Stellung gehalten werden kann. Alternativ kann das Abreißorgan 9 auch vom Lagerbock 4 gelöst werden und in den Fußraum herabfallen. In diesem Fall ist die Gefährdung des Kraftfalπzeugführers ebenfalls herabgesetzt, da sich lediglich ein relativ kleines zusätzliches Bauteil im Fußraum befindet. Um eine mögliche Gefährdung des Kraftfahrzeugführers durch die sich lose im Fußraum befindenden Bauteile herabzusetzen, kann vorgesehen werden, den Pedalhebel 2 als auch das Abreißorgan 9 über ein Sicherungselement wie beispielsweise ein Seil, zu halten, damit sich diese Bauteile nicht über eine bestimmte Distanz hinweg vom Lagerbock 4 entfernen können.Motor vehicle drivers can not be held hazardous position. Alternatively, the tear-off member 9 can also be detached from the bearing block 4 and fall into the footwell. In this case, the danger to the driver of the power vehicle is also reduced, since there is only a relatively small additional component in the footwell. In order to minimize a possible danger to the motor vehicle driver due to the components located loosely in the footwell, it can be provided that the pedal lever 2 and the tear-off element 9 are held over a securing element, such as a rope, so that these components do not move away from a certain distance Can remove bracket 4.
Die hier vorgestellte Vorrichtung 1 zur Lagerung eines Pedalhebels 2 mit der integrierten Sicherheitsvorrichtung zeichnet sich neben dem einfachen mechanischen Aufbau mit wenigen zusätzlichen und konstruktiv einfach ausgeführten Elemente dadurch aus, das im Falle eines Crashs lediglich der Lagerbolzen 6 zerstört wird. Alle übrigen Bauteile, insbesondere der Lagerbock 4, das Abreißorgan 9 und der Pedalhebel 2 bleiben weitestgehend erhalten und können ggf. bei einer Instandsetzung des Fahrzeugs wiederverwendet werden.The device 1 presented here for mounting a pedal lever 2 with the integrated safety device is characterized in addition to the simple mechanical structure few additional and structurally simple elements that only the bearing pin 6 is destroyed in the event of a crash. All other components, in particular the bearing block 4, the tear-off member 9 and the pedal lever 2 are largely preserved and can be reused if the vehicle is repaired.
Auf Grund der wenigen mechanischen Bauteile ist diese Lagervorrichtung 1 insgesamt relativ unanfällig gegenüber Bauteiltoleranzen. Insbesondere im Bereich der Kraftübertragung des Pedalhebels 2 auf eine nicht dargestellte mit dem Pedalhebel verbundene Betätigungseinrichtung, beispielsweise einem Bremsgerät, wird dieBecause of the few mechanical components, this bearing device 1 is overall relatively insensitive to component tolerances. In particular in the area of the power transmission of the pedal lever 2 to an actuating device (not shown) connected to the pedal lever, for example a braking device, the
Toleranzkette durch das Crashsystem nicht beeinflusst. Da ferner keine bewegten Bauteile vorhanden sind, neigt die Lagervorrichtung auch nicht zum Klappern.Tolerance chain not affected by the crash system. Furthermore, since there are no moving components, the bearing device does not tend to rattle.
Durch die Halterung des Abreißorgans 9 am Lagerbock kann die Lagervorrichtung mit dem Crashsystem als einbaufertiges Modul hergestellt und geliefert werden. Sämtliche anderen Pedalhebel an einer Pedalerie können ebenfalls mit dem hier vorgestelltem Crashsicherheitssystem ausgerüstet werden, wodurch sich eine Vereinheitlichung im System realisieren lässt.By holding the tear-off element 9 on the bearing block, the bearing device with the crash system can be manufactured and delivered as a ready-to-install module. All other pedal levers on a pedal series can also be equipped with the crash safety system presented here, which means that the system can be standardized.
Durch Fertigung insbesondere des Lagerbocks 4 und des Pedalhebels 2 aus Kunststoff lassen sich erhebliche Gewichtseinsparungen erzielen. Zumindest das Abreißorgan 9 besteht für eine gesicherte Kraftübertragung vorteilhafterweise aus einem metallischen Werkstoff. By manufacturing the bearing block 4 and the pedal lever 2 from plastic in particular, considerable weight savings can be achieved. At least the tear-off member 9 is advantageously made of a metallic material for secure power transmission.
