An electronic pedal device includes an accelerator pedal module and a brake pedal module that operate in a pressure operation manner, whereby a driver may operate the same with a small force. The driver may easily recognize the operational state of the pedal based on a haptic signal generated during operation of the pedal. Because operation of the pedal is detected through a dual detecting structure using a Hall sensor and a pressure sensor, safety may be further ensured during operation of the pedal.

Electronic pedal device

An electronic pedal apparatus includes a pad that rectilinearly moves and rotates along a pad guide while being kept in line contact with the pad guide including a shape of an arc when a driver operates the pad, an acceleration signal or a braking signal for a vehicle is generated by operation of the single pad, and a movement direction of the pad at the time of generating the acceleration signal is different from a movement direction of the pad at the time of generating the braking signal.

Electronic pedal apparatus

An electronic pedal apparatus is configured so that a driver may operate a pedalwith a small effort, the electronic pedal apparatus may operate by fine displacement during the operation of the pedals, the pedals apparatus may allow the driver to clearly recognize an operating situation of the pedals by use of a magnetic force (repulsive force) having a quadratic function graph, and a compact mechanism having a foldable function may be implemented by use of an electromagnet that changes in polarity.

An embodiment electronic pedal apparatus includes a pedal housing and an accelerator pedal assembly and a brake pedal assembly coupled to the pedal housing and configured to move along different movement trajectories when the accelerator pedal assembly and the brake pedal assembly are operated. In an embodiment, the accelerator pedal assembly is compressed and moved upward when the accelerator pedal assembly is operated, and the brake pedal assembly is compressed and moved downward when the brake pedal assembly is operated.

A kickdown switch for an accelerator pedal informs a driver of a misoperation state by using a kickdown switch provided in the accelerator pedal when the driver misoperates the accelerator pedal rather than operating a brake pedal while braking is required. Accordingly, the driver can definitely recognize the misoperation state of the accelerator pedal and rapidly stop misoperation of the accelerator pedal and sudden acceleration of the vehicle, whereby occurrence of accidents can be prevented.

Kickdown switch for acceleration pedal and method of controlling misoperation of acceleration pedal using the same

A pedal apparatus comprises a pedal housing including an inner space, a pedal pad configured to rotate relative to the pedal housing, a pedal arm connected to the pedal pad, a magnet installed in the pedal arm, and a sensing board. The pedal arm includes a hollow and is configured to rotate based on a rotation of the pedal pad. The sensing board has at least a portion inserted into the hollow and includes a hole sensor configured to sense a magnetic force generated by the magnet.

Pedal apparatus and manufacturing method thereof

A pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes a pedal bracket fixed to a dashboard, a cowl bracket fixed to a cowl panel, and a pedal arm hinge-coupled to the pedal bracket and having a reverse-swivel protrusion and a pedal on both sides of the pedal arm. Also, a reverse-swivel lever is hinge-coupled to the pedal bracket, and on an upper side of the reverse-swivel lever has an extension extending upwards and being positioned in front of the cowl bracket, and, on a lower side of the reverse-swivel lever has a reverse-swivel pin positioned below the reverse-swivel protrusion.

Pedal apparatus for vehicle

A pedal assembly protects a driver, in which a pedal armis prevented from pivoting to a driver and forced to pivot forward away from the driver in a collision or a rear-end collision, so that it is possible to maximally preclude an injury of the leg of the driver due to the pedal arm

Pedal assembly for protecting driver

A protective device of an automobile driver can prevent driver's legs from being injured by a brake pedal as the brake pedal forcibly rotates forward when a collision accident occurs.
