  • Electronic pedal device
    Patent number: 12235669
    Abstract: An electronic pedal device includes an accelerator pedal module and a brake pedal module that operate in a pressure operation manner, whereby a driver may operate the same with a small force. The driver may easily recognize the operational state of the pedal based on a haptic signal generated during operation of the pedal. Because operation of the pedal is detected through a dual detecting structure using a Hall sensor and a pressure sensor, safety may be further ensured during operation of the pedal.

  • Electronic pedal apparatus
    Patent number: 12103385
    Abstract: An electronic pedal apparatus includes a pad that rectilinearly moves and rotates along a pad guide while being kept in line contact with the pad guide including a shape of an arc when a driver operates the pad, an acceleration signal or a braking signal for a vehicle is generated by operation of the single pad, and a movement direction of the pad at the time of generating the acceleration signal is different from a movement direction of the pad at the time of generating the braking signal.

  • Electronic pedal apparatus
    Patent number: 12090845
    Abstract: An electronic pedal apparatus is configured so that a driver may operate a pedal 200 with a small effort, the electronic pedal apparatus may operate by fine displacement during the operation of the pedals, the pedals apparatus may allow the driver to clearly recognize an operating situation of the pedals by use of a magnetic force (repulsive force) having a quadratic function graph, and a compact mechanism having a foldable function may be implemented by use of an electromagnet that changes in polarity.
