Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a sliding door drive pedal structure. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electrification, intelligentization, and lightweighting in automobiles, electric sliding doors are becoming increasingly common. They are easy to operate and can greatly enhance user comfort and convenience. Sliding doors are driven by a drive mechanism, typically mounted on a pedal, to open and close.

[0003] However, the existing pedals have the following defects: first, the pedals not only need to bear the gravity of the drive device, but also need to bear the force when the passengers step on them. The insufficient structural strength can easily lead to damage. Second, the layout of the drive device is not compact enough and the space is too large, resulting in the entire pedal occupying a large space. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to propose a sliding door drive pedal structure for solving the problems in the prior art such as the pedal being subjected to large forces and being easily damaged.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is a sliding door drive pedal structure, comprising:

[0006] The main body is provided with a plurality of structural ribs connected in sequence, the structural ribs are provided with a plurality of stepping parts for passengers to step on, and a plurality of connecting parts for connecting with the automobile body.

[0007] Furthermore, the plurality of structural ribs are connected in sequence in a Z-shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs, the two ends of the first reinforcing ribs are respectively connected to the two structural ribs; one end of the plurality of second reinforcing ribs is connected to the structural ribs, and the other end of the plurality of second reinforcing ribs extends to the edge of the main body and is connected to each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the treading portion is arranged at the middle or end portion of the structural rib, and the connecting portion is arranged at the connection between two adjacent structural ribs.

[0010] Furthermore, the sliding door is provided with a door hinge;

[0011] The pedal is further provided with a connecting bracket, which is slidably connected to the pedal. The connecting bracket slides relative to the pedal to drive the door hinge to move, thereby driving the sliding door to slide.

[0012] Furthermore, a transmission belt and a power assembly are provided. The power assembly drives the transmission belt to move, and the connecting bracket is installed on the transmission belt.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of pulleys are provided, and the transmission belt is wound around the plurality of pulleys in sequence.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) Structural ribs are provided on the main body, and a pedal portion and a connecting portion are provided on the structural ribs. When a passenger steps on the pedal portion, the pedal portion is subjected to force and the force is transmitted to each connecting portion through the structural ribs, and then transmitted to the vehicle body structure through the connecting portion, so that the entire vehicle body and the pedal are subjected to force together, thereby reducing the force on the pedal and increasing the upper limit of the force on the pedal to avoid damage due to excessive force.

[0016] (2) The main body includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and a third connecting rod which are detachably connected in sequence. When carrying, the connecting rods can be disassembled to reduce the space (length) occupied by the entire storage rack, making it easier to carry.

[0017] (3) The multiple structural ribs are arranged in a Z-shape, so that the multiple structural ribs can be more evenly distributed in various areas of the main body, thereby enhancing the strength of the entire pedal. At the same time, because the structural ribs are distributed throughout the entire pedal, pedal parts can be arranged in various areas of the pedal, making it easier for passengers to step on the pedal at multiple positions and angles, thereby improving convenience.

[0018] (4) A first reinforcing rib is provided so that a plurality of structural ribs can be connected through the first reinforcing rib. When one structural rib is subjected to stress, the stress can be transmitted to other structural ribs through the first reinforcing rib, so that a plurality of structural ribs are subjected to stress at the same time, thereby preventing a single structural rib from being subjected to excessive stress.

[0019] (5) The second reinforcing rib is provided so that the force of the structural rib can be transmitted to the edge of the main body through the second reinforcing rib. The second reinforcing rib will produce a slight deformation when it is stressed to offset the force, thereby making the entire pedal bear the force as a whole, avoiding that only the structural rib is stressed, and further improving the strength of the entire pedal.

[0020] (6) The sliding door is driven to slide by the structure of the transmission belt and the connecting bracket. The space occupied by the transmission belt and the connecting bracket is very small, which can reduce the space occupied by the entire driving device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solutions of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention discloses a sliding door actuator pedal structure, comprising:

[0028] The main body 100 is provided with a plurality of structural ribs 110 connected in sequence. The structural ribs 110 are provided with a plurality of stepping parts 120 for passengers to step on, and a plurality of connecting parts 130 for connecting to the automobile body.

[0029] Specifically, a structural rib 110 is provided on the main body 100, and a pedal portion 120 and a connecting portion 130 are provided on the structural rib 110. When a passenger steps on the pedal portion 120, the pedal portion 120 is subjected to force and the force is transmitted to each connecting portion 130 through the structural rib 110, and then transmitted to the vehicle body structure through the connecting portion 130, so that the entire vehicle body and the pedal are subjected to force together, thereby reducing the force on the pedal, increasing the upper limit of the force on the pedal, and avoiding damage due to excessive force.

[0030] Furthermore, the plurality of structural ribs 110 are connected in sequence in a Z-shape.

[0031] The multiple structural ribs 110 are arranged in a Z-shape, allowing them to be evenly distributed across the body 100, enhancing the strength of the entire pedal. Furthermore, since the structural ribs 110 are distributed throughout the entire pedal, pedaling portions 120 can be positioned in various areas of the pedal, allowing passengers to step on the pedal at various positions and angles, improving convenience.

[0032] Furthermore, the main body 100 is provided with a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 140 and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 150, the two ends of the first reinforcing ribs 140 are respectively connected to the two structural ribs 110; one end of the plurality of second reinforcing ribs 150 is connected to the structural rib 110, and the other ends of the plurality of second reinforcing ribs 150 extend to the edge of the main body 100 and are connected to each other.

[0033] A first reinforcing rib 140 is provided so that a plurality of structural ribs 110 can be connected through the first reinforcing rib 140. When one of the structural ribs 110 is subjected to force, the force can be transmitted to other structural ribs 110 through the first reinforcing rib 140, so that the plurality of structural ribs 110 are subjected to force at the same time, thereby preventing a single structural rib 110 from being subjected to excessive force.

[0034] The second reinforcing rib 150 is provided so that the force exerted on the structural rib 110 can be transmitted to the edge of the main body 100 through the second reinforcing rib 150. The second reinforcing rib 150 is slightly deformed when subjected to the force to offset the force exerted on it, thereby causing the entire pedal to be subjected to the force as a whole, avoiding the structural rib 110 being subjected to the force alone, and further improving the strength of the entire pedal.

[0035] Furthermore, the treading portion 120 is provided at the middle or end portion of the structural rib 110 , and the connecting portion 130 is provided at the connection between two adjacent structural ribs 110 .

[0036] Specifically, when the treading portion 120 is in the middle of the structural rib 110, the treading portion 120 receives force and transmits the force to the ends of the structural rib 110, and then to the other structural ribs 110, the first reinforcing rib 140, and the second reinforcing rib 150. When the treading portion 120 is at the ends of the structural rib 110, because the ends of the structural rib 110 are connected to another structural rib 110, the treading portion 120 receives force and transmits the force directly to the two interconnected structural ribs 110, and then transmits the force to the other structural ribs 110, the first reinforcing rib 140, and the second reinforcing rib 150 through the two structural ribs 110. In this way, the strength of the entire pedal can be effectively enhanced.

[0037] The connecting portion 130 is arranged at the connection of two structural ribs 110, which can increase the number of structural ribs 110 directly connected to the connecting portion 130, so that more structural ribs 110 can directly transfer the force to the vehicle body through the connecting portion 130, thereby improving the strength of the pedal.

[0038] Furthermore, the sliding door is provided with a door hinge 220;

[0039] The pedal is further provided with a connecting bracket 210 , which is slidably connected to the pedal. The connecting bracket 210 slides relative to the pedal to drive the door hinge 220 to move, thereby driving the sliding door to slide.

[0040] Furthermore, a transmission belt 230 and a power assembly 200 are provided. The power assembly 200 drives the transmission belt 230 to move, and the connecting bracket 210 is installed on the transmission belt 230 .

[0041] Specifically, the present invention utilizes a powertrain 200 to drive a transmission belt 230, which in turn drives a connecting bracket 210 to slide. The connecting bracket 210 then drives the sliding door to slide via a door hinge 220, thereby opening and closing the sliding door. The transmission belt 230 and connecting bracket 210 occupy very little space, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire drive device.

[0042] Furthermore, a plurality of pulleys 240 are provided, and the transmission belt 230 is wound around the plurality of pulleys 240 in sequence.

[0043] The pulley 240 can guide and tighten the transmission belt 230 to prevent the transmission belt 230 from slipping.

[0044] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0045] In addition, in the present invention, descriptions such as "first," "second," and "one" are for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply their relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0046] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0047] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
