Abstract: In a pedal device, a first elastic member is deformed in accordance with a sliding operation of a first guide of a first holder in a vehicle longitudinal direction with a second guide of a second holder by a force from a pedal when the pedal rotates. Further, due to the force from the pedal when the pedal rotates, a second elastic member is deformed in accordance with a sliding operation of the second guide in the vehicle longitudinal direction with a third guide of a guide member. Further, the first guide and the second guide are made to restrict movement in a vehicle vertical direction. In addition, the second holder and the third guide are made to mutually restrict movement in the vehicle vertical direction.

Abstract: In a brake pedal device, a brake pedal is connected to a casing with a posture changeable by a brake operation of a driver, and includes an operation unit that is pressed by a driver. A reaction force generating unit is provided inside the casing, and the reaction force generating unit is configured to generate a reaction force with respect to the brake pedal in accordance with an amount of change in the posture of the brake pedal during the brake operation, and to cause the brake pedal to return to a reference position when the brake operation is released. A sensor unit is provided outside the casing, to detect an amount of change in the posture of the brake pedal, and a sensor protector is provided at the casing in a position away from the brake pedal, to cover at least a part of the sensor unit.

Abstract: A brake pedal device includes a pedal pad rotatable about an axis when stepped on by a driver, and a reaction force generation mechanism generating a reaction force to the pedal pad according to a stepping amount of the pedal pad. The pedal pad includes a pedal base portion extending away from an axis side end to another end, and a pedal operation portion attached to the pedal base portion and stepped on by the driver. The pedal operation portion protrudes toward a pedal return side in a rotation direction about the axis with respect to the pedal base portion, and a surface of the pedal operation portion has a plane portion that is configured as a flat surface and is stepped on by the driver, so that the reaction force generated by the reaction force generation mechanism acts on the pedal pad in a direction piercing the plane portion.

Abstract: A pedal device includes: a pedal that is depressed by a driver; and a reaction force generation mechanism. The reaction force generation mechanism generates a reaction force against a depression force applied from the driver to the pedal. The reaction force generation mechanism includes at least one resilient member, a first holder and a second holder. The first holder contacts the at least one resilient member from one side where the pedal is placed in one direction. The second holder contacts the at least one resilient member from another side that is opposite to the one side. One holder among the first holder and the second holder includes an outer guide portion, and another holder among the first holder and the second holder includes an inner guide portion that is fitted into the outer guide portion and is movable relative to the outer guide portion in the one direction.

Abstract: A vehicle pedal module includes a brake pedal device and an accelerator pedal device. The brake pedal device has a brake pedal first housing configured to rotatably support a brake pedal rotating shaft and to cover a brake-pedal reaction force generation mechanism, and a brake pedal second housing configured to support an end portion of the brake-pedal reaction force generation mechanism opposite to the brake pedal. The brake pedal second housing extends from the brake pedal device to the accelerator pedal device, to have at least a part of the accelerator pedal device fixed thereto, and to be installed on a vehicle body.

Abstract: An organ-type pedal device includes a housing, a shaft, a pedal pad, and a sensor unit. The housing is attached to a vehicle body. The shaft is rotatably supported around a center of a shaft receiving portion provided in the housing as a rotation axis. The pedal pad is fixed to the shaft and rotates about a same rotation axis as the shaft. The pedal pad has a structure in which a portion to be stepped on by a driver is arranged above the rotation axis in a vertical direction when being mounted on the vehicle. The sensor unit has a rotating portion provided at the shaft and a signal output portion provided at the housing for outputting a signal corresponding to a phase of the rotating portion, and detects a rotation angle of the pedal pad and the shaft.

Abstract: A brake system includes a brake device, a brake circuit that generates a braking force for braking a vehicle, ECU that controls the braking force generated by the brake circuit according to a stroke amount of the brake pedal, and a user interface. When the first mode is selected, the ECU executes normal control for controlling the braking force generated by the brake circuit based on a basic characteristics which is a basic relationship between the stroke amount of the brake pedal and the braking force. When the second mode is selected, the ECU executes an automatic braking force control when the stroke amount is between a first threshold value and the second threshold value after the stroke amount of the brake pedal increases and reaches a predetermined set value. The ECU executes normal control when the stroke amount of the brake pedal becomes larger than the second threshold value.

Abstract: An arm includes an arm one end and an arm body extended from the arm one end. The arm is coupled with a pedal pad at the arm one end and is coupled with a reaction force generation mechanism on an counter-operation side. A stopper part is a component separate from the pedal pad and fixed to the pedal pad. One part, which is one of the pedal pad and the stopper part, includes a first arrangement section, and the other part, which is the other of the pedal pad and the stopper part, includes a second arrangement section. The first arrangement section and the second arrangement section interpose the arm one end therebetween and hold the arm one end against the pedal pad.
