Patent number: 11292338Abstract: A pedal emulator (20, 100) is provided. The pedal emulator includes an emulator piston (28, 102) coupled to a damper (46, D1) that is contained within a housing (22, 104). The damper is surrounded by first (34, S1) and second (38, S2) springs that are carried by a lower spring seat (114), the lower spring seat being upwardly biased by a third spring (S3), for example a wave spring. The first and second springs and the third spring cooperate to provide a counter-force that is tailored to the desired feel of the pedal. First and second sensors measure travel (72, 74) and force in response to downward compression of the emulator piston, and the damper provides hysteresis upon return travel of the emulator piston.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaAInventors: Dennis Mark Burke, Kenneth James Nadeau, Werner Austermeier, Henning Irle, Marcus Irrgang

Publication number: 20220089135Abstract: A pedal emulator for a vehicle is provided comprising a base part for mounting the pedal emulator to a structure of the vehicle. A pedal lever is pivotable around a rotary axis of the base part. A force generation unit exerts a counterforce on the pedal lever by means of at least one coupling element for mechanically coupling the force generation unit with the pedal lever. The counterforce works counter to an actuating force exerted on the pedal lever. The force generation unit and the coupling element are designed and arranged in such a way that a progression of the counterforce along a pedal travel of the pedal lever (6) takes the form of a non-linear progression in a pedal travel-counterforce diagram.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2020Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Werner Austermeier, Dennis Mark Burke, Kerim Florian Huge, Andreas Mueller, Ralf Ridder, Claus Viethen
