Abstract

Abstract A throttle control device includes a first gear 5 rotatable corresponding to the depression of an accelerator pedal 1 of a vehicle engine a first motor 8 engaged with a second gear 6 meshed with the first gear, the first motor being actuated upon a traction slip detection to rotate the first gear through the second gear to thereby correct the rotation angle of the first gear. A third gear 12 is ganged with the first gear to rotate therewith, and a throttle link 20 is coupled with the third gear for controlling the opening of a throttle valve 22 of the engine through a throttle wire 19 corresponding to a rotation angle of the third gear, and a second motor 18 drives the third gear through a clutch to control the opening of the throttle valve during a constant speed running of the vehicle.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 169 words
A throttle control device, comprising: a first gear (5) operably coupled to an accelerator pedal (1) of a vehicle engine for rotation corresponding to the amount of depression of said pedal, a first motor (8) engageable through a first clutch (7) with a second gear (6) meshed with said first gear, said first motor being actuated upon a traction slip detection to rotate said first gear through said second gear to correct a rotation angle of said first gear, a third gear (12) ganged with said first gear to rotate therewith, a throttle link (20) coupled to said third gear by a throttle wire (19) for controlling an opening angle of a throttle valve (22) of said engine corresponding to a rotation angle of said third gear, and a second motor (18) for driving said third gear through a second clutch (17) to control the rotation angle of the third gear and attendantly the opening angle of said throttle valve during a constant speed running mode of the vehicle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 169 words
