It analyzes the new structure and mechanism of organ type accel pedal to have a double curve to obtain a low effort force has been devised an electronic accel pedal consisting of two springs. To confirm the characteristics of effort force on variation of spring constants for two springs, dynamic analyzes were performed by using the ADAMS software program. According to the result of the simulation analysis, new mechanism of organ type accel pedal has an inflection point of the curve of pedal effort force on variation of spring constants, k, in various range of pedal angle.
Electro-accel pedal is needed to raise fuel efficiency by controlled pedal angle signal regardless driver’s willings to fast start or stop pedaling, and to reduce muscle fatigue by designed Ergonomic structure. For this purpose, in this study, we designed new mechanism of accel pedal in a double linkage with two springs to minimize the force of pedaling on main pedal period for HECV in close the future. We have achieved the simulation to dynamic characteristics and experimented to measure the pedal force with proto sample, and confirmed the potentialities this new mechanism.
