Abstract
A control pedal device includes: a pedal configured to receive an operation; a pedal arm attached to the pedal to be movable with the pedal; a rotating shaft fixed to the pedal arm; a reaction force generating mechanism exerting a reaction force against the operation of the pedal; multiple targets attached to the rotating shaft and rotating together with the rotating shaft; and multiple sensor elements configured to detect a rotation of the multiple targets.
Claims8
A control pedal device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a pedal configured to receive an operation;
- a pedal arm attached to the pedal to be movable with the pedal;
- a rotating shaft fixed to the pedal or a member movable with the pedal;
- a reaction force generating mechanism configured to exert a reaction force against the operation of the pedal;
- multiple targets attached to the rotating shaft and rotating together with the rotating shaft;
- and
- multiple sensor elements configured to detect a rotation of the targets, wherein the multiple targets include a first target and a second target,
- the multiple sensor elements include a first sensor element and a second sensor element,
- the first target is disposed at one end portion of the rotating shaft, and the second target is disposed at an other end portion of the rotating shaft, and
- the first sensor element is positioned at an opposite of the second target in an axial direction of the rotating shaft with respect to first target, and
- the second sensor element is positioned at an opposite of first target in the axial direction with respect to the second target.
