Abstract
An organ type accelerator pedal assembly may include a vibration generating module coupled to a carrier connected with a foot plate, and engaged with a first actuator through a power transfer member to bring a vibration to the carrier, a pushing-force generating module actuated by a second actuator and movably disposed under the vibration generating module to provide a pushing-force to the foot plate when contacting with the vibration generating module, and/or a control unit controlling the first actuator and/or the second actuator.
Claims19
An organ type accelerator pedal assembly comprising:
- a motor that is fixed to a side of a housing;
- a vibration generating module that is coupled to a carrier connected to a foot plate, adjacent to the motor on the side of the housing, and engaged with the motor through a belt to move up/down the carrier in a short cycle while rotating by power of the motor;
- a solenoid that is fixed to the housing around the motor;
- a pushing-force generating module that is connected with the solenoid through a solenoid rod and makes elastic linear reciprocation by motion of the solenoid to provide a pushing-force to the foot plate when contacting with the vibration generating module;
- and
- a controller that compares speed limit of a road transmitted from a GPS with driving speed transmitted from a vehicle speed sensor and then generates a control signal to actuate the motor when the driving speed exceeds the speed limit of the road, and receives a signal from an inter-vehicle distance sensor and then generates a control signal to actuate the solenoid when distance from a vehicle next ahead is under a predetermined value.

- a vibration generating module coupled to a carrier connected with a foot plate, and engaged with a first actuator through a power transfer member to bring a vibration to the carrier;
- a pushing-force generating module actuated by a second actuator and movably disposed under the vibration generating module to provide a pushing-force to the foot plate when contacting with the vibration generating module;
- and
- a control unit controlling the first actuator and/or the second actuator.
