Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はステアリング装置に関し、特に自動車の正面衝突時に運転者がステアリングホイールにあたって受ける衝撃を軽減できるステアリング装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車の正面衝突時にステアリングホイールが後方に移動し、二次衝突でこの後方移動したステアリングホイールに運転者が当たり、強い衝撃を受けるのを防止するようにした従来のステアリング装置としては、例えば図4に示すように、ステアリングコラム21を収縮可能な構造としたものが知られている。この構成においては、通常時は、図4(a)に示すようにステアリングコラム21の伸縮部22a、22bが伸長した状態で、衝突時に前方から過大な負荷が作用した時に、図4(b)に示すように、上記伸縮部22a、22bが収縮し、それによってステアリングホイール23が後方に移動するのを防止している。
【0003】
また、特開平9−30427号公報や特開平10−217979号公報には、ステアリングコラムの中間部を前後に揺動可能に支持し、ステアリングコラムの下端部をバンパや衝撃受圧体やフロントパネルに連結し、正面衝突時の過大な負荷によってバンパや衝撃受圧体やフロントパネルが後方に移動するのに伴ってステアリングコラムの上部及びステアリングホイールが前方に向けて変位するように構成したものが開示されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、図4に示すようにステアリングコラム21に伸縮部22a、22bを設けた構成では、構成が複雑でコスト高になるという問題がある。
【0005】
また、上記公報に開示されているように、ステアリングコラムを前後揺動可能に支持し、正面衝突時にステアリングコラムを揺動させるようにしたものでも、やはり構成が複雑でコスト高になるとともに、通常時のステアリングコラムの取付剛性を十分に得るのが難しく、剛性を確保しようとすると重量が大きくなってしまうという問題がある。
【0006】
本発明は、上記従来の問題点に鑑み、簡単で軽量な構成にて通常時は十分な取付剛性が得られ、かつ正面衝突時にステアリングホイールを前方に変位させることができ、運転者がステアリングホイールにあたって受ける衝撃を軽減できるステアリング装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明のステアリング装置は、フロア前端部に立設されるペダルブラケットの上部に、前方に延出する連結片と後方に向けて傾斜した姿勢で上方に延出する上方延出部とを設け、前記ペダルブラケットの下部をフロアパネルに取付けるとともに前記連結片の先端部をダッシュパネルに取付け、前記上方延出部にステアリングコラムを装着固定し、かつ前記上方延出部の上端部と前記ダッシュパネルとを前記連結片とは別体のステー部材にて連結するとともに、前記ステー部材と前記上方延出部の上端部との連結部は車幅方向の水平軸芯回りに相対回転可能に軸支したものであり、ペダルブラケットの下部がフロアパネルに、上部が前方に延出された連結片にてダッシュパネルに取付けられ、そのペダルブラケットの上方延出部にステアリングコラムが装着固定されるとともにその上方延出部の上端部がステー部材を介してダッシュパネルに連結されて支持されているので通常時には十分な取付剛性が得られ、かつ正面衝突時にはペタルブラケットを取付けた部分は後方に向けて大きく変形するに対してステー部材が結合されているダッシュパネルの上部の変形は小さいため、ペダルブラケットの下部が後方に移動する一方、上方延出部の上端部はあまり動くことなく枢支されていることにより、上方延出部がその上端部は後方に動かず下部が後方に移動するように回動し、それに伴ってステアリングコラムの上方に配設されたステアリングホイールは前方に向けて相対変位するので、運転者がステアリングホイールにあたって受ける衝撃を軽減することができる。
【0008】
また、ペダルブラケットの上部とダッシュパネルにおける連結片との固定点より下方位置とを下部連結部材にて連結すると、正面衝突時にペダルブラケットの上部も確実に後方に移動され、上方延出部の下部の後方への回動量が増えて、より効果的である。
【0009】
また、ステー部材を、パイプ材を中間部とその両側に先広がりに延出された両側部とを有する略台形状に折り曲げ成形するとともに、その中間部と両側部の基部に扁平板状のコ字状部を成形して構成し、そのコ字状部に上方延出部を嵌合させると、軽量で剛性の高いステー部材が得られるとともに、上方延出部との枢支部も両者を貫通する一対の枢支ボルト等にて簡単かつ安価に構成できる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の車両用ペダル装置の一実施形態について、図1〜図3を参照して説明する。
【0011】
図1において、1は車室、2はその前端部の下部前面を構成しているダッシュパネルであり、その下部は車室1の床面を構成するフロアパネル3に連接されている。4はフロアパネル3下部両側に配設されたサイドフレームである。
【0012】
フロアパネル3の前端部には、アクセルペダルやブレーキペダルなどの各種ペダル(図示せず)を支持するペダルブラケット5が立設され、その上端前部から斜め先方上方に延出された連結片5aの先端部がダッシュパネル2の上部に連結され、上端後部から若干後方に向けて傾斜した姿勢で上方に向けて上方延出部6が延設されている。
【0013】
上方延出部6は、強度と剛性を確保するために上下方向に延びる平板の車幅方向両側部を前方に折り曲げた横断面形状が略コ字状の部材にて構成され、その下端部がペダルブラケット5の上部後面に溶接固着されている。勿論、ペダルブラケット5と上方延出部6を連続した一体の部材にて構成してもよい。
【0014】
この上方延出部6の後面にステアリングコラム7が装着固定されている。8はステアリングコラム7にて回転自在に支持されるとともに上下に貫通するステアリングシャフト7aの上端に固定されたステアリングホイールである。ステアリングシャフト7aの下端はユニバーサルジョイント9、連結ロッド10等を介してフロアパネル3の下部に配設されたステアリングギヤ装置(図示せず)に連結されている。
【0015】
上方延出部6の上端部は、ステー部材11にてダッシュパネル2の上部に連結されている。ステー部材11は、図2に詳細に示すように、パイプ材12を中間部とその両側に先広がりに延出された両側部とを有する略台形状に折り曲げ成形するとともに、その中間部と両側部の基部とを扁平にプレスして板状のコ字状部13を成形して構成されている。両側部の先端部も扁平にプレスしてダッシュパネル2に対する取付板部14a、14bが形成されている。コ字状部13の両側部には同一軸芯状態でボルト穴が穿孔され、その内面にそれぞれナット15が固着されている。
【0016】
そして、ステー部材11のコ字状部13の外側に上方延出部6の上端を嵌合させ、この上方延出部6とコ字状部13の両側部を貫通させた枢支ボルト16をナット15に螺合させ、ステー部材11と上方延出部6の上端が枢支状態で連結されている。また、ステー部材11の両側部先端の取付板部14a、14bは取付ボルト17にてダッシュパネル2の上部に連結固定されている。
【0017】
更に、ペダルブラケット5の上部が、連結片5aとは別にその下部が下部連結部材18にてダッシュパネル2に連結されている。
【0018】
以上の構成によれば、通常時にはステアリングコラム7がペダルブラケット5の上方延出部6に装着固定されるとともにその上方延出部6の上端部がステー部材11を介してダッシュパネル2に連結されて支持されているので、十分な取付剛性が得られる。
【0019】
また、正面衝突時に、図3の白抜き矢印Aの如く、車体前方下部に所定以上の負荷が入力すると、ダッシュパネル2の下部やペタルブラケット5を取付けているフロアパネル3の前端部やサイドフレーム4の前端部が後方に向けて大きく変形することになる。一方、ステー部材11が結合されているダッシュパネル2の上部の変形は比較的小さくて済む。
【0020】
そうすると、図3に示すように、ペダルブラケット5の下部が矢印aの如く後方に移動する。その際に、ペダルブラケット5の上部とダッシュパネル2が下部連結部材18にて連結されているので、ペダルブラケット5の上部もより多く後方に移動することになる。一方、上方延出部6の上端部はステー部材11にて相対回転自在に枢支されているので、後方への移動は小さくかつステー部材11のダッシュパネル2に対する取付部を略中心とする円弧軌跡に沿って矢印bの如く若干上方に持ち上げられながら、上記ペダルブラケット5の後方移動に伴って上方延出部6はその上端を中心にして下部側が後方に向けて回動することになり、その結果上方延出部6に装着固定されているステアリングコラム7が同様に回動し、ステアリングコラム7の上方に配設されたステアリングホイール8が仮想線で示す衝突前の位置から矢印cで示すように斜め前方上方に相対変位し、運転者がステアリングホイール8にあたって受ける衝撃を軽減することができる。
【0021】
また、本実施形態では、ステー部材11をパイプ材12にて構成しているので軽量で剛性の高いステー部材が得られるとともに、その扁平板状に成形した板状のコ字状部13に上方延出部6の上端部を嵌合させ、一対の枢支ボルト16にて枢支しているので、連結部を含めて構成が簡単で軽量・安価に構成できる。
【0022】
【発明の効果】
本発明のステアリング装置によれば、以上のようにペダルブラケットの下部をフロアパネルに取付けるとともに前方に延出された連結片の先端部をダッシュパネルに取付け、後方に向けて傾斜した姿勢で上方に延出する上方延出部にステアリングコラムを装着固定し、かつ前記上方延出部の上端部と前記ダッシュパネルとを前記連結片とは別体のステー部材にて連結するとともに、前記ステー部材と前記上方延出部の上端部との連結部は車幅方向の水平軸芯回りに相対回転可能に軸支したので、通常時には十分な取付剛性が得られ、かつ正面衝突時には上方延出部がその上端部は後方に動かず下部が後方に移動するように回動し、それに伴ってステアリングホイールが前方に向けて相対変位するので、運転者がステアリングホイールにあたって受ける衝撃を軽減することができる。
【0023】
また、ペダルブラケットの上部とダッシュパネルにおける連結片との固定点より下方位置とを下部連結部材にて連結すると、正面衝突時の負荷がペダルブラケットの上部に確実に伝達され、上方延出部の下部の後方への回動量が増えて、より効果的である。
【0024】
また、ステー部材を、パイプ材を中間部とその両側に先広がりに延出された両側部とを有する略台形状に折り曲げ成形するとともに、その中間部と両側部の基部に扁平板状のコ字状部を成形して構成し、そのコ字状部に上方延出部を嵌合させると、軽量で剛性の高いステー部材が得られるとともに、上方延出部との枢支部も両者を貫通する一対の枢支ボルトにて簡単かつ安価に構成できる。

[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, FIG. 4 shows a conventional steering device in which a steering wheel moves rearward at the time of a frontal collision of an automobile and a driver hits the steering wheel moved rearward by a secondary collision and receives a strong impact. As shown in FIG. 1, there is known a structure in which the steering column 21 can be contracted. In this configuration, normally, when an excessive load is applied from the front during a collision in a state where the telescopic portions 22a and 22b of the steering column 21 are extended as shown in FIG. 4A, FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the expansion / contraction portions 22a and 22b contract, thereby preventing the steering wheel 23 from moving backward.
[0003]
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 9-30427 and 10-217979, an intermediate portion of a steering column is supported so as to be swingable back and forth, and a lower end portion of the steering column is supported on a bumper, an impact pressure receiving body, and a front panel. It is disclosed that the upper part of the steering column and the steering wheel are displaced forward as the bumper, impact pressure receiving body and front panel move backward due to excessive load at the time of frontal collision. ing.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, as shown in FIG. 4, the configuration in which the telescopic portions 22 a and 22 b are provided in the steering column 21 has a problem that the configuration is complicated and expensive.
[0005]
Further, as disclosed in the above publication, even if the steering column is supported so as to be able to swing back and forth and the steering column is swung in a frontal collision, the configuration is still complicated and expensive, and usually It is difficult to obtain sufficient steering column mounting rigidity at the time, and there is a problem that weight is increased if the rigidity is secured.
[0006]
In view of the above-described conventional problems, the present invention can obtain a sufficient mounting rigidity at a normal time with a simple and lightweight configuration, and can displace the steering wheel forward at the time of a frontal collision. An object of the present invention is to provide a steering device that can reduce the impact received during the process.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The steering device of the present invention is provided with a connecting piece extending forward and an upward extending portion extending upward in a posture inclined toward the rear on the upper part of the pedal bracket standing on the front end portion of the floor, A lower part of the pedal bracket is attached to the floor panel, a tip end portion of the connecting piece is attached to the dash panel, a steering column is mounted and fixed to the upper extension part, and an upper end part of the upper extension part and the dash panel Are connected by a stay member separate from the connecting piece, and the connecting portion between the stay member and the upper end of the upwardly extending portion is pivotally supported around a horizontal axis in the vehicle width direction so as to be relatively rotatable. The lower part of the pedal bracket is attached to the floor panel and the upper part is attached to the dash panel with a connecting piece extending forward, and the upper part of the pedal bracket extends to the steering wheel. Since ram upper end portion of the upper extending portion while being mounted fixed are supported by being connected to the dash panel via a stay member, normal sufficient mounting rigidity is obtained in, and at the time of frontal collision petals bracket While the attached part is greatly deformed backward, the upper part of the dash panel to which the stay member is connected is small, so the lower part of the pedal bracket moves backward, while the upper end of the upper extension part is By pivoting without much movement, the upper extension part rotates so that the upper end part does not move rearward and the lower part moves rearward, and accordingly the steering disposed above the steering column Since the wheel is relatively displaced toward the front, it is possible to reduce the impact that the driver receives on the steering wheel.
[0008]
In addition, if the lower part of the pedal bracket is connected to the position below the fixed point of the connecting piece of the dash panel with the lower connecting member, the upper part of the pedal bracket is also reliably moved rearward at the time of a frontal collision. The amount of rotation to the rear of the lower part increases, which is more effective.
[0009]
In addition, the stay member is bent and formed into a substantially trapezoidal shape having a pipe material having an intermediate portion and both side portions extended to both sides of the pipe member, and a flat plate-like core is formed at the base portion of the intermediate portion and both side portions. When the upper part is fitted to the U-shaped part, a lightweight and highly rigid stay member is obtained, and the pivot part with the upper part extends through both parts. It can be configured easily and inexpensively with a pair of pivot bolts.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pedal device for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0011]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a passenger compartment, and reference numeral 2 denotes a dash panel constituting a lower front surface of a front end portion thereof, and a lower part thereof is connected to a floor panel 3 constituting a floor surface of the passenger compartment 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes side frames disposed on both lower sides of the floor panel 3.
[0012]
A pedal bracket 5 that supports various pedals (not shown) such as an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal is erected at the front end of the floor panel 3, and a connecting piece 5a that extends obliquely upward from the front end of the upper end. The upper end portion is connected to the upper portion of the dash panel 2, and an upward extending portion 6 is extended upward in a posture inclined slightly rearward from the upper end rear portion.
[0013]
The upper extension portion 6 is configured by a member having a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape in which both side portions in the vehicle width direction of a flat plate extending in the vertical direction are folded forward in order to ensure strength and rigidity, and the lower end portion thereof is The pedal bracket 5 is fixed to the upper rear surface by welding. Of course, you may comprise the pedal bracket 5 and the upward extension part 6 by the continuous integral member.
[0014]
A steering column 7 is mounted and fixed on the rear surface of the upward extending portion 6. A steering wheel 8 is rotatably supported by the steering column 7 and is fixed to the upper end of the steering shaft 7a penetrating vertically. The lower end of the steering shaft 7a is connected to a steering gear device (not shown) disposed under the floor panel 3 via a universal joint 9, a connecting rod 10 and the like.
[0015]
An upper end portion of the upward extending portion 6 is connected to an upper portion of the dash panel 2 by a stay member 11. As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the stay member 11 is formed by bending the pipe material 12 into a substantially trapezoidal shape having an intermediate part and both side parts extended forward on both sides thereof. The plate-shaped U-shaped part 13 is formed by pressing the base part of the part flatly. Mounting plate portions 14a and 14b for the dash panel 2 are formed by pressing the front end portions of both sides flatly. Bolt holes are drilled in both sides of the U-shaped portion 13 in the same axial state, and nuts 15 are fixed to the inner surfaces thereof.
[0016]
And the upper end of the upper extension part 6 is fitted to the outer side of the U-shaped part 13 of the stay member 11, and the pivot bolt 16 passing through the upper extension part 6 and both sides of the U-shaped part 13 is provided. The stay member 11 and the upper end of the upward extending portion 6 are coupled in a pivoted state by being screwed into the nut 15. Further, the mounting plate portions 14 a and 14 b at the distal ends of both sides of the stay member 11 are connected and fixed to the upper portion of the dash panel 2 by mounting bolts 17.
[0017]
Further, the upper part of the pedal bracket 5 is connected to the dash panel 2 by a lower connecting member 18 separately from the connecting piece 5a.
[0018]
According to the above configuration, the steering column 7 is normally attached and fixed to the upper extension portion 6 of the pedal bracket 5 and the upper end portion of the upper extension portion 6 is connected to the dash panel 2 via the stay member 11. Therefore, sufficient mounting rigidity can be obtained.
[0019]
Further, when a load exceeding a predetermined value is input to the lower front part of the vehicle body as indicated by the white arrow A in FIG. 3 at the time of a frontal collision, the lower end of the dash panel 2 and the front end of the floor panel 3 to which the petal bracket 5 is attached and the side frame The front end of 4 is greatly deformed toward the rear. On the other hand, the deformation of the upper part of the dash panel 2 to which the stay member 11 is coupled may be relatively small.
[0020]
Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower part of the pedal bracket 5 moves rearward as indicated by an arrow a. At that time, since the upper part of the pedal bracket 5 and the dash panel 2 are connected by the lower connecting member 18, the upper part of the pedal bracket 5 also moves backward more. On the other hand, since the upper end portion of the upward extending portion 6 is pivotally supported by the stay member 11 so as to be relatively rotatable, the rearward movement is small, and the arc whose center is the mounting portion of the stay member 11 with respect to the dash panel 2. While being lifted slightly upward as indicated by arrow b along the trajectory, the lower extension side of the upper extension portion 6 rotates around the upper end as the pedal bracket 5 moves rearward. As a result, the steering column 7 mounted and fixed on the upper extension portion 6 similarly rotates, and the steering wheel 8 disposed above the steering column 7 is indicated by an arrow c from the position before the collision indicated by the phantom line. As described above, the vehicle is relatively displaced obliquely forward and upward, and the impact received by the driver on the steering wheel 8 can be reduced.
[0021]
Further, in this embodiment, the stay member 11 is constituted by the pipe material 12, so that a lightweight and highly rigid stay member can be obtained, and the plate-shaped U-shaped portion 13 formed into a flat plate shape is provided above. Since the upper end part of the extension part 6 is fitted and pivotally supported by the pair of pivot bolts 16, the structure including the connecting part is simple, and can be configured at a light weight and at low cost.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
