The working principle of the throttle pedal connector can be summarized as follows:
·Pedal Position Sensor
The throttle pedal connector typically includes one or more pedal position sensors that detect the position or movement of the pedal. These sensors can be resistive sensors, Hall effect sensors, or other types of sensors. They convert the pedal position into an electrical signal.
·Signal Conversion
The pedal position sensor converts the detected pedal position into a voltage or current signal. These signals are then transmitted through cables or electrical circuits to the Engine Control Module (ECM) or electronic throttle actuator.
·Engine Control Module (ECM)
The ECM receives the signals from the pedal position sensor and calculates the desired throttle opening for the engine based on these signals. It also monitors data from other sensors, such as engine speed and vehicle speed, to make more accurate throttle control decisions.
·Electronic Throttle Actuator
The ECM sends control signals to the electronic throttle actuator through cables or electrical circuits. The electronic throttle actuator controls the opening of the throttle valve based on these signals. It can be a motor-driven actuator, using a motor to control the position of the throttle valve, or an electromechanical valve-based actuator, adjusting the throttle opening by controlling an electromagnetic valve.
In this way, the throttle pedal connector converts the action of the driver pressing the throttle pedal into an electrical signal and achieves precise control of the throttle opening of the engine through the Engine Control Module and electronic throttle actuator. This allows the engine to obtain the appropriate power output according to the driver’s demands.
