DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an apparatus for adjusting an urging force of an accelerator pedal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the vehicle accelerator pedal device includes a pedal arm housing 1 fixedly installed at a dash panel below the driver's seat, a pedal 2a at one end thereof, and the pedal arm housing 1 at the other end thereof. A pedal arm 2 rotatably installed about the pedal housing 1 about the hinge shaft 2b and inserted into an inner side of the pedal arm 2 and positioned at an end of the pedal arm 2 located in the pedal arm housing 1; The inner wall surface of the pedal arm housing 1 is coupled to the coupled spring plate 3 and the end of the pedal arm 2 located in the pedal arm housing 1 when the pedal arm 2 rotates. An elastic member installed so that one end is supported by the friction shoe 4 which interferes with friction with the spring plate, and the other end is supported on the inner surface of the pedal arm housing 1 facing the spring plate 3. (5) and the elastic member 5 is the inner spring (5a) and It consists of an outer spring 5b.

When the pedal arm 2 is rotated about the hinge shaft 2b, the reaction force of the friction shoe 4, which makes frictional interference with the inner wall surface of the pedal arm housing 1, The sum of the reaction forces generated by elastic compression of the outer spring 5a and the outer spring 5b becomes a pressing force to be provided to the pedal arm 2. [

The present invention is a configuration that can change the stepping power characteristics by the user's simple operation even without replacing the reaction force and the elastic member 5 of the friction shoe (4) in the accelerator pedal device configured as described above.

That is, the pedal pedal control device according to the present invention is a carrier housing 10 formed integrally with the pedal arm housing 1 facing the end of the pedal arm 2 in the rotational direction of the pedal arm 2, A carrier 20 installed to move along the carrier housing 10 in the carrier housing 10 and supporting one end of an elastic member 5 providing a pedaling force to the pedal arm 2; It is integrally provided with a carrier housing cover 30 detachably assembled to the carrier housing 10 so that the carrier is brought into contact with the carrier 20 when the carrier housing cover 30 is assembled to the carrier housing 10. The carrier stopper 40 which restrains the movement of 20 is comprised.

Here, the pedal arm housing cover (6) is detachably assembled to the pedal arm housing (1), the pedal arm housing (1) is formed integrally with the carrier housing (10), the pedal arm housing cover (6) The carrier housing cover 30 detachably assembled to the carrier housing 10 has a structure formed integrally.

In addition, the carrier 20 is a structure installed to be located in the carrier housing 10, the carrier stopper 40 is a structure formed to be integrally provided in the carrier housing cover (30).

The carrier 20 is a rectangular parallelepiped in which both sides are in contact with the inner side of the carrier housing 10 so as to move along the carrier housing 10 when an external force is applied and one end of the elastic member 5 is supported at the bottom thereof. Carrier body 21 of the shape and, protruding upward in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped from the center of the upper surface of the carrier body portion 21, both sides contact the carrier stopper 40 when assembling the carrier housing cover 30 It consists of a carrier head 22.

Here, the width (D2) of the carrier head portion 22 is preferably formed to have a smaller dimension than the width (D1) of the carrier body portion 21, which is a carrier housing cover 30 in the carrier housing (10) This is to allow the carrier stopper 40 to be inserted into both empty spaces of the carrier head portion 22 when it is assembled.

In addition, both side surfaces of the carrier head portion 22 are provided with a tooth-shaped carrier protrusion 23 integrally along the moving direction of the carrier 20, and the carrier protrusion 23 is formed on the carrier stopper 40. ), The sawtooth stopper protrusion 41 which restrains the movement of the carrier 20 is formed integrally.

The carrier stopper 40 is composed of a plurality of rectangular parallelepiped shapes respectively inserted into both empty spaces of the carrier head portion 22, characterized in that the stopper protrusions 41 are integrally formed on surfaces facing each other. do.

In addition, a tool insertion hole 11 is integrally formed in the carrier housing 10 facing the end of the elastic member 5, and the apparatus according to the present invention is inserted into the tool insertion hole 11 so that the carrier It characterized in that it further comprises a stepping force control tool 40 for pressing the 20.

Hereinafter, the operation of the apparatus of the present invention will be described.

The pedal arm housing cover 6 is assembled to the pedal arm housing 1 and the carrier housing cover 30 is assembled to the carrier housing 10 at the same time. As shown in (A), the carrier stoppers 40 are inserted, respectively, and the carrier protrusions 23 and the stopper protrusions 41 are maintained in a state where they are engaged with each other. to be.

Then, when the operator removes the pedal arm housing cover 6 from the pedal arm housing 1 and at the same time separates the carrier housing cover 30 from the carrier housing 10, the carrier head portion 22 The carrier stopper 40 is pulled out from both the left and right spaces to be in a state as shown in FIG. 5B. From this time, the carrier 20 is in a state capable of adjusting a stepping force that can move along the carrier housing 10.

In the above state, when the stepping power adjusting tool 50 is inserted into the tool insertion hole 12 formed in the carrier housing 10 and the stepping power adjusting tool 50 is pressed with a constant force, the carrier 20 is a carrier. The elastic force increases as the elastic member 5 moves along the housing 10 and at the same time the elastic member 5 is compressed.

On the contrary, when the force is removed from the stepping force control tool 50, the elastic force decreases as the compression of the elastic member 5 is released by the movement of the carrier 20.

An increase in the elastic force of the elastic member 5 means an increase in the stepping force of the pedal arm 2, and conversely, a decrease in the elastic force of the elastic member 5 means a decrease in the stepping force.

After completing the step adjustment as described above, the operator is to reassemble the pedal arm housing cover 6 and the carrier housing cover 30, accordingly the carrier stopper 40 to the left and right both spaces of the carrier head portion 22 As the carrier protrusion 23 and the stopper protrusion 41 are engaged with each other at the same time, the carrier 20 remains constrained from being moved along the carrier housing 10 in the state where the stepping force adjustment is completed. Done.

As described above, the effort control device according to the present invention can adjust the elastic force of the elastic member 5 through the movement of the carrier 20 by a simple operation without replacing the friction shoe 4 and the elastic member 5, Through the pedal arm (2) can be adjusted.

Therefore, the device according to the present invention has the advantage that the pedal pedal (2) in the accelerator pedal can be easily adjusted with a simple operation as needed, in particular to ensure that the safety law for the pedal power and faithfully meet the acceleration pedal Public use has the advantage of being possible.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
