Description

  The present invention relates to a pedal support structure, and more particularly to a pedal support structure in which a brake pedal is supported by a vehicle body via a pedal bracket.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pedal support structure that supports a brake pedal by a pedal bracket attached to a dash panel and a vehicle body member (for example, an instrument panel reinforcement or a cowl panel) behind the dash panel is known.

  In this type of pedal support structure, in the event of a forward collision, the brake pedal (especially the pedal pad at the lower end of the brake pedal) is kept lower toward the rear as the dash panel and pedal bracket are retracted. In many cases, the pedal bracket or the brake pedal is tilted backward by moving the pedal pad forward by lowering the retracted pedal bracket along the inclined surface.

  For example, Patent Document 1 includes an intermediate member that connects a guide bracket and a pedal bracket that form a rear-falling guide surface, and when a force that lowers the pedal bracket and the intermediate member along the guide surface is generated, A brake pedal configured to release the connection between the intermediate member and the guide bracket by removing the bolt that connects the guide bracket and the intermediate member from the notched hole formed in the intermediate member. A support structure is disclosed.

  In this Patent Document 1, when the connection between the guide bracket and the intermediate member is released, the pedal bracket and the intermediate member are guided by the guide surface of the guide bracket and guided downward in the rear of the vehicle. Is supposed to be prevented from greatly moving rearward and upward in the vehicle.

JP 2004-034839 A

  Although the thing of the said patent document 1 presupposes that a pedal bracket reverse | retreats by the force of the back resulting from a front collision etc., not only a frontal collision but an oblique collision (oblique collision) is included in a front collision, for example. It is. When such an oblique collision occurs, not only a rearward force but also a force in the vehicle width direction may act on the pedal bracket via a dash panel deformed by the collision. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, if a rearward and vehicle width direction force acts on the pedal bracket at the time of an oblique collision, the notched hole and the bolt are rolled, and the bolt is detached from the hole. It is assumed that it is difficult to lower the pedal bracket and the intermediate member along the guide surface.

  Moreover, in the thing of the said patent document 1, since the intermediate member which is not a general purpose goods other than the guide bracket which supports a brake pedal is required, the problem that the support structure of a brake pedal becomes complicated, and an intermediate member There is a problem that the cost increases because the number of processes increases by the amount of manufacture and assembly.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a forward collision including a diagonal collision with a simple structure in a pedal support structure in which a brake pedal is supported on a vehicle body via a pedal bracket. It is an object of the present invention to provide a technique for suppressing the reverse of the brake pedal at the time.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the pedal support structure according to the present invention, the pedal bracket is attached to the vehicle body member via a clip nut which is a general-purpose product, and a force acting on the pedal bracket at the time of a forward collision including an oblique collision is used. Thus, the pedal bracket is smoothly detached rearward from the clip nut.

  Specifically, the present invention is directed to a pedal support structure in which a brake pedal is supported by a pedal bracket attached to a dash panel and a vehicle body member behind the dash panel.

  The pedal bracket includes an upper wall portion having an opening formed on an attachment surface formed on the vehicle body member, and the vehicle body member is fixed to the attachment surface so as to open rearward. A clip nut and an inclined surface that inclines downward as it goes rearward from the rear end of the mounting surface, and the upper wall portion has a portion defining the rear portion of the opening portion as the clip nut. And a guide portion that is in surface contact with the clip nut from the outside in the vehicle width direction and extends in the front-rear direction.

  In this configuration, the pedal bracket is attached to the dash panel, and a portion that divides the rear portion of the opening in the upper wall portion (hereinafter also referred to as a sandwiched portion) is clamped by the clip nut, so that the vehicle body member It is attached.

  Therefore, for example, when the rearward force acts on the pedal bracket as the dash panel is deformed (retracted), such as a frontal collision, the sandwiched portion can be smoothly pulled backward from the clip nut. The attachment engagement between the upper wall portion and the vehicle body member is released. Then, when the mounting engagement between the upper wall portion and the vehicle body member is released, the pedal bracket moves backward with respect to the vehicle body member, and the upper wall portion retracted from the mounting surface accordingly descends along the inclined surface. It will be. Thereby, since the pedal bracket or the brake pedal can be tilted backward, in other words, the pedal pad at the lower end of the brake pedal can be moved forward, so that the brake pedal can be prevented from moving backward.

  Further, for example, in the case of an oblique collision to the passenger seat side, the dash panel on the driver's seat side usually does not reverse, so the brake pedal does not easily reverse in the first place.

  On the other hand, with the deformation of the dash panel, for example, an oblique collision to the driver's seat side, the force from the driver's seat side to the passenger's seat side (in the vehicle width direction with respect to the brake pedal) is increased. When acting on the pedal bracket, the guide portion on the upper wall of the pedal bracket from the outside in the vehicle width direction against the clip nut fixed to the vehicle body member due to the inward force in the vehicle width direction acting on the pedal bracket. It will be pressed. As described above, when the guide portion extending in the front-rear direction is pressed against the clip nut by the force inward in the vehicle width direction that acts on the pedal bracket, the backward force acts on the pedal bracket so that the guide portion is While making contact with the clip nut, it slides almost straight back.

  In other words, in the present invention, the force to displace the pedal bracket rearward and inward in the vehicle width direction is converted into a force that displaces the pedal bracket substantially straight backward while guiding the pedal bracket by the guide portion extending in the front-rear direction. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly disengage the sandwiched portion rearward from the clip nut and release the attachment engagement between the upper wall portion and the vehicle body member. Further, by bringing the guide portion into surface contact with the clip nut, the way in which the guide portion comes into contact with the clip nut is stabilized and the pedal bracket or the guide portion is displaced substantially straight rearward. It can suppress that the site | part of an upper wall part, such as etc., and a clip nut scoop.

  As described above, when the mounting engagement between the upper wall portion and the vehicle body member is released, the pedal bracket moves backward with respect to the vehicle body member, and accordingly, the upper wall portion retracted from the mounting surface descends along the inclined surface. Thus, the pedal bracket or the brake pedal can be tilted backward, and thereby the brake pedal (especially the brake pad) can be prevented from moving backward.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the reverse of the brake pedal with a simple structure using a clip nut which is a general-purpose product at the time of a frontal collision such as a frontal collision or an oblique collision to the driver's seat. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the brake pedal support structure from becoming complicated and the manufacturing cost and the like from increasing.

  As described above, according to the pedal support structure of the present invention, the brake pedal can be prevented from retreating at the time of a forward collision including an oblique collision with a simple structure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pair of side wall portions 3 and 4 are respectively attached to the dash panel 20 in front of the driver seat by fixing the flange portions 3 a and 4 a to the dash panel 20 via bolts 21. ing. Further, the side wall portion 3 and the side wall portion 4 are formed with through holes (not shown) penetrating in the vehicle width direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the upper wall portion 5 is provided at an upper portion of the pedal bracket 1 and includes an upper end portion of the side wall portion 3 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction and an upper end portion of the side wall portion 4 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction. While being connected in the vehicle width direction, as shown in FIG. 1, it is attached to an attachment surface 31 formed on the instrument panel force 30 by a clip nut 40.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the brake pedal 2 supported by the pedal bracket 1 includes a pedal arm portion 16, a pedal pad 17 provided at the lower end portion of the pedal arm portion 16, and an upper end portion of the pedal arm portion 16. And a rotating shaft portion (not shown) provided on the head. A return spring 15 attached to a spring support 14 provided on the pedal bracket 1 is engaged with the pedal arm 16. The rotating shaft portion is fitted into, for example, a cylindrical boss (not shown) press-fitted into a through hole (not shown) formed in the upper end portion of the pedal arm portion 16, and both ends of the boss. It comprises a cylindrical bush (not shown) and a cylindrical collar (not shown) inserted so as to straddle both bushes. The rotary shaft portion is inserted from the through hole of the side wall portion 4 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, passes through the inside of the collar, and extends from the through hole of the side wall portion 3 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction to the tip portion of the mounting bolt 18 at the nut 19. Are pivotally supported by the pair of side wall portions 3 and 4.

  In front of the dash panel 20, a brake fluid pressure generating device (not shown) for generating the brake fluid pressure is provided. The brake fluid pressure generator includes a brake booster, a master cylinder, and the like, and is connected to a brake device (not shown) provided on each wheel of the vehicle 50. The brake pedal 2 is connected to a brake fluid pressure generator via a connecting arm (not shown) and a push rod (not shown).

  When the driver depresses the pedal pad 17, the brake pedal 2 configured in this manner is rotated at the initial position (the position shown in FIG. 1) as indicated by the white arrow in FIG. ) To the front. As described above, when the brake pedal 2 swings, the push rod moves forward as the connecting arm rotates with respect to the pedal bracket 1, whereby the brake fluid pressure generating device is activated, A braking force is applied to each wheel from each braking device.

  On the other hand, since the brake pedal 2 is always urged in the direction to return to the initial position by the return spring 15 locked to the pedal arm portion 16, when the driver depresses the pedal pad 17, the FIG. As shown by the black arrows, the brake pedal 2 returns to the initial position.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a place where the pedal bracket 1 and the instrument panel force 30 are attached. As shown in FIG. 3, the instrument panel reinforcement 30 includes a substantially horizontal mounting surface 31 to which the upper wall portion 5 of the pedal bracket 1 is mounted, and a lower position as it goes rearward from the rear end of the mounting surface 31. And an inclined surface 32 formed to be inclined. A bolt insertion hole 31 a is formed in the mounting surface 31 so as to penetrate vertically. Thus, the clip nut 40 is fixed to the mounting surface 31 in such a posture that it opens rearward through the bolt 33 inserted through the bolt insertion hole 31a.

  The clip nut 40 is a general-purpose product, and includes, for example, a clip portion 41 formed by bending a metal plate into a flat U shape, and a nut 42 welded to the clip portion 41. The clip portion 41 is a U-shaped clip in which an upper plate portion 43 and a lower plate portion 44 that are vertically opposed to each other are integrally connected by a bent portion 45, and the upper plate portion 43 and the lower plate portion 44 include Bolt insertion holes 43a and 44a are formed so as to face each other in the vertical direction. The nut 42 is welded to the lower surface of the lower plate portion 44 so that the screw hole of the nut 42 and the bolt insertion hole 44a coincide.

  In the instrument panel reinforcement 30 provided with such a clip nut 40, the object is inserted into the clip part 41 so that the object is sandwiched between the upper plate part 43 and the lower plate part 44, and the bolt insertion hole 31a is inserted. The bolt 33 passing through the bolt insertion holes 43a and 44a is screwed into the nut 42 and tightened to clamp the object between the upper plate portion 43 and the lower plate portion 44 and attach to the mounting surface 31. It is like that.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view schematically showing the upper wall portion 5 of the pedal bracket 1. The upper wall 5 is formed with a substantially rectangular opening 10 having an opening area larger than the area of the clip nut 40. Further, a notch groove 7 extending rearward is formed in a portion 6 (hereinafter also referred to as a sandwiched portion 6) that partitions the rear portion of the opening 10 in the upper wall portion 5. A side edge portion 7a that divides the side portion in the vehicle width direction inside (right side) of the notch groove 7 in the upper wall portion 5 extends straight in the front-rear direction. On the other hand, the side edge part which divides | segments the vehicle width direction outer side (left side) side part of the notch groove 7 in the upper wall part 5 connects the side edge part 7b and the side edge part 7d via the level | step difference 7c. It is substantially S-shaped. By providing such a step 7c, the groove width on the front side in the front-rear direction is wider than the groove width on the rear side in the front-rear direction.

  Further, a guide 8 that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the part 8 and extends in the front-rear direction is provided at a part 8 that divides the side part on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the opening 10 in the upper wall part 5. The guide portion 9 is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section when viewed in the front-rear direction by bending the tip portion downward. Therefore, the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the guide portion 9 constitutes an end surface (guide surface 9a) extending in the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the upper wall portion 5 formed in this way has a bolt 33 for fixing the clip nut 40 to the mounting surface 31 inserted in the notch groove 7. The sandwiched portion 6 is sandwiched between the upper plate portion 43 and the lower plate portion 44 of the clip nut 40 with 33 being sandwiched between the side edge portion 7a and the side edge portion 7b. Then, in a state where the clamped portion 6 is clamped by the clip nut 40, in other words, in a state where the upper wall portion 5 is attached to the mounting surface 31 of the instrument panel reinforcement 30, as shown in FIG. 9 is in surface contact with the clip portion 41 of the clip nut 40 from the outside in the vehicle width direction.

-Displacement of the pedal bracket during a forward collision-
Next, a displacement mode of the pedal bracket 1 in the pedal support structure at the time of a frontal collision will be described.

<At frontal collision>
When a rearward force is applied to the pedal bracket 1 as the dash panel 20 is deformed (retracted) like a frontal collision, the clamped portion 6 is smoothly pulled backward from the clip nut 40, The attachment engagement between the upper wall portion 5 and the instrument panel reinforcement 30 is released. As described above, when the mounting engagement between the upper wall portion 5 and the instrument panel reinforcement 30 is released, the pedal bracket 1 moves backward with respect to the instrument panel reinforcement 30, and the upper wall portion 5 retracted from the mounting surface 31 accordingly. It descends along the inclined surface 32. Thereby, tilting the pedal bracket 1 to the brake pedal 2 backward, in other words, the pedal pad 17 can be moved forward, so that the brake pedal 2 can be prevented from moving backward.

<At the time of diagonal collision to the passenger seat>
Further, in the case of an oblique collision to the passenger seat side, the dash panel 20 on the driver seat side does not normally move backward, so that the brake pedal 2 does not easily move backward in the first place.

<During a diagonal collision with the driver's seat>
FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing an oblique collision to the driver's seat side, FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically illustrating displacement of the pedal bracket 1 with respect to the clip nut 40 at the time of the oblique collision, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram for explaining a deformation process of the pedal support structure at the time of an oblique collision to the driver's seat side. 6A, 6 </ b> B, and 6 </ b> C, the upper stage is a plan view schematically showing the relationship between the upper wall portion 5 and the clip nut 40, and the middle stage is the upper wall portion 5. It is sectional drawing which shows typically the relationship with the clip nut 40, and a lower stage is a side view which shows typically the displacement aspect of the pedal bracket 1 and the brake pedal 2. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when an oblique collision to the driver's seat side occurs in which the other vehicle 100 collides from the diagonally left front of the vehicle 50 that is a left-hand drive vehicle (B <b> 1 in FIG. 7), the front portion of the vehicle is deformed ( As shown by the lower white arrow in FIG. 7 (B2) and FIG. 6 (a), the dash panel 20 is deformed rearward and inward in the vehicle width direction (from the driver seat side to the passenger seat side) (B3 in FIG. 7). .

  Along with the deformation of the dash panel 20, as shown by the upper arrow in FIG. 6A, a force P is applied (acted) to the pedal bracket 1 in the rear direction and in the vehicle width direction (B4 in FIG. 7). . In this case, the guide surface 9a of the guide portion 9 from the outer side in the vehicle width direction to the clip portion 41 of the clip nut 40 fixed to the instrument panel force 30 by the force PX acting on the pedal bracket 1 toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction. Is pressed.

  As described above, the rearward force in the state where the guide surface 9a of the guide portion 9 extending in the front-rear direction is pressed against the clip portion 41 of the clip nut 40 by the vehicle width direction inner side force PX acting on the pedal bracket 1. As PY acts on the pedal bracket 1, the guide surface 9 a starts to slide backward substantially straight while making surface contact with the clip portion 41. Since the guide surface 9a comes into surface contact with the clip portion 41 in this manner, the way in which the guide portion 9 contacts the clip nut 40 is stabilized, and the guide surface 9a starts to slide substantially straight back. The bolt 33 starts to be detached from the notch groove 7 without the side edge portion 7a and the side edge portion 7b turning. As a result, the upper wall portion 5 of the pedal bracket 1 starts to be detached from the clip nut 40 (B5 in FIG. 7).

  Then, when the pedal bracket 1 is retracted while the guide portion 9 hits the clip nut 40 (B6 in FIG. 7), the bolt 33 is connected to the side edge portion 7a and the side edge portion as shown in the upper part of FIG. 6B. Since it separates from the narrow notch groove 7 between 7b and reaches the wide notch groove 7 between the side edge portion 7a and the side edge portion 7d, the bolt 33 and the notch groove 7 are more difficult to bend. . Further, as shown in FIG. 2, between the clip nut 40 pressed against the guide surface 9 a and the side edge portion defining the side portion of the opening 10 in the vehicle width direction (the side opposite to the guide portion 9). Since there is a gap G, both the upper wall portion 5 and the clip nut 40 are difficult to beat. Therefore, the separation of the upper wall portion 5 from the clip nut 40 is promoted, and the upper wall portion 5 retracted from the mounting surface 31 reaches the inclined surface 32 as indicated by the white arrow at the lower stage of FIG. start.

  As described above, in the present invention, the force P that attempts to displace the pedal bracket 1 rearward and inward in the vehicle width direction cannot swing the pedal bracket 1 left and right (vehicle width direction) by the guide surface 9a extending in the front-rear direction. Thus, the pedal bracket 1 is converted into a force PY that displaces the pedal bracket 1 substantially straight backward, so that the sandwiched portion 6 can be smoothly detached rearward from the clip nut 40, and the upper wall portion 5 and the instrument panel reinforcement 30 can be removed. And the mounting engagement can be released. Further, by bringing the guide surface 9a into surface contact with the clip portion 41, the way in which the guide portion 9 contacts the clip nut 40 is stabilized, and the pedal bracket 1 to the guide portion 9 are displaced substantially straight rearward. It is possible to suppress the parts of the upper wall portion 5 such as the sandwiched portion 6 and the guide portion 9 and the clip nut 40 from rolling.

  Then, as shown in the upper and middle stages of FIG. 6C, when the release of the pedal bracket 1 (upper wall portion 5) from the clip nut 40 is completed (B7 in FIG. 7), the pedal bracket 1 (upper wall). Part 5) and the instrument panel reinforcement 30 are disengaged from each other.

  As described above, when the mounting engagement between the pedal bracket 1 and the instrument panel reinforcement 30 is released, the pedal bracket 1 moves backward with respect to the instrument panel reinforcement 30, and the upper wall portion 5 retracted from the mounting surface 31 is inclined accordingly. By descending along the surface 32 (B8 in FIG. 7), the pedal bracket 1 to the brake pedal 2 can be tilted backward as shown by the black arrows in the lower part of FIG. 6 (c) (FIG. 7). B9).

  As a result, the pedal pad 17 moves forward (B10 in FIG. 7) as shown by the white arrow at the bottom of FIG. 6 (c), so that the brake pedal 2 is retracted even in an oblique collision. Can be suppressed.

  Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the reverse of the brake pedal 2 with a simple structure using the clip nut 40 that is a general-purpose product at the time of a forward collision such as a frontal collision or an oblique collision toward the driver's seat. Since it becomes possible, it can suppress that the support structure of the brake pedal 2 becomes complicated, or a manufacturing cost etc. increase.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the driver's seat is set on the right side of the center in the vehicle width direction. The present invention may be applied to a so-called right-hand drive vehicle.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the side edge part which divides | segments the vehicle width direction outer side part of the notch groove 7 in the upper wall part 5 connects the side edge part 7b and the side edge part 7d via the level | step difference 7c. However, if the bolt 33 and the notch groove 7 are difficult to bend, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the notch groove 7 in the upper wall portion 5 is expanded so that the notch groove 7 expands toward the front. You may form so that the side edge part which divides the side part of the vehicle width direction outer side may incline and extend in the vehicle width direction outer side.
