Vehicle pedal module

A pedal module for a vehicle, integrally provided with a plurality of by-wire pedal devices, the pedal module comprising:

• a brake pedal device including
• a brake pedal configured to be stepped on by a foot of a driver and to swing about a first swing axis,
• a brake pedal rotating shaft provided at the first swing axis of the brake pedal,
• a brake pedal sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to a swing angle of the brake pedal,
• a brake-pedal reaction force generation mechanism configured to generate a reaction force against a stepping force of the driver applied to the brake pedal,
• a brake pedal first housing configured to rotatably support the brake pedal rotating shaft and to cover the 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, and provided at a position between the brake pedal first housing and a vehicle body;
• and
• an accelerator pedal device including
• an accelerator pedal configured to be stepped on and operated by the foot of the driver to swing about a second swing axis,
• an accelerator pedal sensor configured to output a signal corresponding to the swing angle of the accelerator pedal,
• an accelerator-pedal reaction force generation mechanism configured to generate a reaction force against the stepping force of the driver applied to the accelerator pedal, and
• an accelerator pedal housing configured to cover the accelerator-pedal reaction force generation mechanism, wherein
• the brake pedal second housing is installed on the vehicle body to extend from the brake pedal device to the accelerator pedal device and to fix at least a part of the accelerator pedal device thereto, and
• the brake pedal second housing is made of a material having a Young's modulus larger than that of the brake pedal first housing.
