Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating hysteresis equipped in an electronic accelerator pedal for a vehicle, which makes it possible not only to reduce the manufacturing cost, weight, and fuel consumption by reducing the number of parts of an apparatus for generating hysteresis, but achieve a compact configuration by reducing the size of a housing. Further, it is possible to facilitate assembly, reduce assembly time, and improve productivity.
Claims8
An apparatus for generating hysteresis of an electronic accelerator pedal for a vehicle, comprising:
- a pedal arm that is rotatably connected to a housing and integrally has a spring seat mounting portion at one end in the housing and a rotational center protrusion composed of partial protrusions divided into at least one part by a cutting groove;
- a plurality of fitting grooves that is arranged around the rotational center protrusion on the upper surface of the spring seat mounting portion;
- a spring seat that is fitted on the rotational center protrusion to be rotatable on the spring seat mounting portion and has a housing contact protrusion that is in contact with the inner wall of the housing, on the outer circumference;
- a plurality of spring seat protrusions that integrally protrudes from the bottom of the spring seat and is inserted in the fitting grooves, respectively;
- and
- an inner spring and an outer spring of which ends are supported by the upper surface of the housing and the other ends are supported by the spring seat.
