本発明は、
ダッシュパネルに取り付けられたペダルブラケットにペダル軸を介してペダルアームの上端部を横軸芯周りに揺動可能に支持し、
前記ペダルアームの長手方向中間部に、エンジンルーム内に配設されたマスターシリンダのプッシュロッドの一端部を連結してある車両のペダル支持構造に関する。
The present invention
The pedal bracket attached to the dash panel supports the upper end of the pedal arm through the pedal shaft so that it can swing around the horizontal axis,
The present invention relates to a pedal support structure for a vehicle in which one end portion of a push rod of a master cylinder disposed in an engine room is connected to an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the pedal arm.

ブレーキのペダルアームやクラッチのペダルアームはペダルブラケットを介してダッシュパネルに取り付けられている。そして、このペダルアームを踏み込むことによりペダルアームの変位量をマスターシリンダに伝えて制動操作やクラッチケーブルに伝えてクラッチの接断操作を行っている。
一般に、マスターシリンダはダッシュパネルに直接取り付けされており、車両前方側から過大な荷重がダッシュパネルに入力すると、ダッシュパネルの変位がそのままマスターシリンダの変位量になり、マスターシリンダのプッシュロッドがペダルアームを車両後方側に揺動させることになる。
そこで、従来、特許文献1に開示されているように、車両前方側からの過大な荷重の入力でペダルブラケットが車両後方側に移動したときにペダルアームが車両後方側に揺動するのを防止する技術が開発されている。
すなわち、第1リンク部材の一端部をペダルアームの長手方向中間部に回転可能に連結し、第1リンク部材の他端部に第2リンク部材の一端部を回転可能に連結し、第2リンク部材の他端部に設けたC字状の係合部をペダル軸に係合し、第1リンク部材の長手方向中間部にプッシュロッドの一端部を連結し、車両前方側からの過大な荷重の入力でペダルブラケットが車両後方側に移動したときに、前記係合部とペダル軸の係合を解除する解除手段を設けた技術があった。
前記解除手段は、C字状の係合部の上端部に設けた凸部を車両後方側から受け止める専用の受け止め部材をペダルブラケットに設けて構成してある。
The brake pedal arm and the clutch pedal arm are attached to the dash panel via a pedal bracket. By depressing the pedal arm, the displacement amount of the pedal arm is transmitted to the master cylinder and transmitted to the braking operation or the clutch cable to perform the clutch connection / disconnection operation.
Generally, the master cylinder is directly attached to the dash panel. When an excessive load is input to the dash panel from the front side of the vehicle, the displacement of the dash panel becomes the displacement amount of the master cylinder as it is, and the push rod of the master cylinder becomes the pedal arm. Is swung to the rear side of the vehicle.
Therefore, conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the pedal bracket moves to the vehicle rear side due to an excessive load input from the vehicle front side, the pedal arm is prevented from swinging to the vehicle rear side. Technology has been developed.
That is, one end portion of the first link member is rotatably connected to the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the pedal arm, and one end portion of the second link member is rotatably connected to the other end portion of the first link member. An excessive load from the front side of the vehicle is obtained by engaging a C-shaped engaging portion provided at the other end of the member with the pedal shaft and connecting one end of the push rod to the longitudinal intermediate portion of the first link member. When the pedal bracket moves to the rear side of the vehicle by the input of the above, there has been a technique provided with a releasing means for releasing the engagement between the engaging portion and the pedal shaft.
The release means is configured by providing a dedicated receiving member on the pedal bracket for receiving the convex portion provided at the upper end of the C-shaped engaging portion from the vehicle rear side.

The feature of the present invention is that
The pedal bracket attached to the dash panel supports the upper end of the pedal arm through the pedal shaft so that it can swing around the horizontal axis,
A pedal support structure for a vehicle in which one end portion of a push rod of a master cylinder disposed in an engine room is connected to a longitudinal intermediate portion of the pedal arm,
One end portion of the first link member is rotatably connected to the middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the pedal arm,
One end of the second link member is rotatably connected to the other end of the first link member,
An engaging portion provided at the other end of the second link member is engaged with the pedal shaft;
Connecting one end of the push rod to the longitudinal intermediate portion of the first link member;
When the pedal bracket moves to the vehicle rear side due to input of an excessive load from the vehicle front side, the connecting member that connects the pedal bracket and the column support member on the vehicle rear side of the pedal bracket is the second link member. Receiving and releasing the engagement between the engagement portion and the pedal shaft ,
The connecting member is attached to a side wall of the pedal bracket located on one side of the second link member in the left-right direction of the vehicle, and passes through the vehicle rear side of the second link member to pass through the second link member. Extending to the other side,
The connecting member includes an attachment portion attached to a side wall of the pedal bracket, an intermediate portion extending from the attachment portion to the vehicle rear side of the second link member in the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the attachment portion of the intermediate portion. A rear portion extending from the opposite end to the vehicle rear side and connected to the column support member;
The connecting member is composed of a metal plate whose posture is set so that the width direction is the vertical direction,
Flange projecting outwardly from the plate surface at both upper and lower ends of the first bent portion formed by the intermediate portion and the rear portion, and upper and lower end portions of the rear portion continuous with the upper and lower end portions of the first bent portion. Each of the first bent portion and the rear portion is formed so that the rigidity is set stronger than the rigidity of the second bent portion formed by the attachment portion and the intermediate portion . (Claim 1)

この構成によれば、車両前方側からの過大な荷重の入力でペダルブラケットが車両後方側に移動すると、ペダルブラケットと、ペダルブラケットの車両後方側のコラムサポート部材とを連結する連結部材が第2リンク部材を受け止めて、係合部とペダル軸の係合を解除させる。これにより、車両前方側から過大な荷重が入力したときに、マスターシリンダのプッシュロッドがペダルアームを車両後方側に揺動させることができなくなる。従って、ペダルアームが車両後方側に揺動するのを防止することができる。
このように、前記係合部とペダル軸の係合を解除する解除手段を、解除専用の受け止め部材ではなく、ペダルブラケットと、ペダルブラケットの車両後方側のコラムサポート部材とを連結する連結部材で構成してあるから、部品点数を少なくすることができ、軽量化を図ることができる。そして、ダッシュパネルに比べて車両後方側への変位が少ないコラムサポート部材に連結された連結部材が第2リンク部材を受け止めるから、連結部材で係合部とペダル軸の係合を確実に解除することができる。
また、連結部材を車両の左右方向(車幅方向)に長くすることができ、連結部材で第2リンク部材を受け止めやすくすることができて、係合部とペダル軸の係合を確実に解除することができる。
また、連結部材がクランク状になるので、連結部材の前記中間部を第2リンク部材に接近配置することができ、前記中間部で第2リンク部材を早期に受け止めて、係合部とペダル軸の係合を確実に解除することができる。
また、前記第1屈曲部と前記後部の剛性が、前記取り付け部と中間部で形成される第2屈曲部の剛性よりも強く設定されているから、車両前方側から過大な荷重が入力したときに、第1屈曲部と前記後部が変形しにくくなる。これにより、連結部材の中間部で第2リンク部材を早期に受け止めて車両後方側から強い力で押圧することができ、係合部とペダル軸の係合を確実に解除することができる。さらに、第2リンク部材を押圧する力が強力になることから、係合部とペダル軸の係合力を強く設定することができて、ペダルアームを確実に作動させることができる。(請求項1)
According to this configuration, when the pedal bracket moves to the vehicle rear side due to input of an excessive load from the vehicle front side, the connecting member that connects the pedal bracket and the column support member on the vehicle rear side of the pedal bracket is the second. The link member is received and the engagement portion and the pedal shaft are disengaged. Accordingly, when an excessive load is input from the front side of the vehicle, the push rod of the master cylinder cannot swing the pedal arm to the rear side of the vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pedal arm from swinging toward the vehicle rear side.
Thus, the releasing means for releasing the engagement between the engaging portion and the pedal shaft is not a receiving member dedicated to releasing, but a connecting member that connects the pedal bracket and the column support member on the vehicle rear side of the pedal bracket. Since it is configured, the number of parts can be reduced and the weight can be reduced. And since the connection member connected with the column support member with little displacement to the vehicle rear side compared with the dash panel receives the second link member, the engagement between the engagement portion and the pedal shaft is reliably released by the connection member. be able to.
In addition, the connecting member can be elongated in the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) of the vehicle, the connecting member can easily receive the second link member, and the engagement between the engaging portion and the pedal shaft is reliably released. can do.
Further, since the connecting member has a crank shape, the intermediate portion of the connecting member can be disposed close to the second link member, and the second link member can be received at the intermediate portion at an early stage, and the engaging portion and the pedal shaft Can be reliably released.
Further, since the rigidity of the first bent portion and the rear portion is set to be stronger than the rigidity of the second bent portion formed by the attachment portion and the intermediate portion, when an excessive load is input from the front side of the vehicle In addition, the first bent portion and the rear portion are not easily deformed. Accordingly, the second link member can be received early at the intermediate portion of the connecting member and pressed with a strong force from the vehicle rear side, and the engagement between the engaging portion and the pedal shaft can be reliably released. Furthermore, since the force which presses a 2nd link member becomes strong, the engaging force of an engaging part and a pedal shaft can be set strongly, and a pedal arm can be operated reliably.
