[0002] The brake pedal assembly is a crucial braking component of a vehicle, used for braking during driving. The brake pedal assembly typically utilizes a brake booster to assist the braking process.

[0003] Different types of vehicles use different brake booster systems, and the connection methods between these systems and the brake pedal assembly also differ. For example, lower-spec models typically use vacuum boosters as brake boosters, which are usually connected to the brake pedal assembly using a shift fork. Higher-spec models use electro-hydraulic boosters, which are usually connected to the brake pedal assembly using a ball joint.

[0004] However, the brake pedal assembly in the aforementioned related technologies cannot be adapted to various types of brake booster devices, which reduces the practicality of the brake pedal assembly and increases its manufacturing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0070] As described in the background section, existing brake pedal assemblies are incompatible with various types of brake booster devices, reducing their practicality and increasing their manufacturing costs. This problem arises because existing brake pedal assemblies are designed to connect to only one type of brake booster device during manufacturing. For example, a brake pedal assembly compatible with a brake booster device having a shift fork mechanism cannot be compatible with one having a ball joint mechanism. This incompatibility with multiple types of brake boosters reduces the practicality of the brake pedal assembly and increases its manufacturing costs.

[0071] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a brake pedal assembly and a vehicle. The brake pedal assembly includes a pedal mechanism, a brake connector, a first connecting mechanism, a second connecting mechanism, and a first brake booster and a second brake booster with different structures. The brake connector is connected to the pedal mechanism, and at least one of the first and second connecting mechanisms is connected to the brake connector. One end of the first brake booster is detachably connected to the brake connector via the first connecting mechanism. Alternatively, one end of the second brake booster is detachably connected to the brake connector via the second connecting mechanism. This allows the brake pedal assembly to be connected to different brake boosters via the brake connector, the first connecting mechanism, or the second connecting mechanism, improving the adaptability and practicality of the brake pedal assembly, reducing the manufacturing cost of the brake pedal assembly, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0072] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0073] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This application provides a brake pedal assembly, which may include a pedal mechanism 100, a brake connector 200, a first brake booster device 300, a second brake booster device 400, a first connecting mechanism 500, and a second connecting mechanism 600.

[0074] refer to Figure 2 The brake pedal assembly can be applied to a vehicle to achieve braking during vehicle operation. The brake pedal assembly is connected to the vehicle body via a brake booster device, and the brake pedal assembly drives the vehicle body to stop by driving the brake booster device. One end of the pedal mechanism 100 in the brake pedal assembly can be operated by the driver to apply braking force. The pedal mechanism 100 can transmit the braking force applied by the driver to the vehicle body through the brake connector 200 and the first brake booster device 300, or the pedal mechanism 100 can transmit the braking force applied by the driver to the vehicle body through the brake connector 200 and the second brake booster device 400.

[0075] The brake connector 200 is connected to the pedal mechanism 100, and at least one of the first connecting mechanism 500 and the second connecting mechanism 600 is connected to the brake connector 200. One end of the first brake assist device 300 is detachably connected to the vehicle body via the first connecting mechanism 500. In some embodiments, the first connecting mechanism 500 may be disposed on the brake connector 200, and the second connecting mechanism 600 may be detachably connected to the brake connector 200.

[0076] refer to Figure 5 If the vehicle uses the first brake assist device 300 to connect the brake connector 200 to the vehicle body, then the second connecting mechanism 600 and the brake connector 200 are in a separated state. The brake connector 200 is connected to the first brake assist device 300 through the first connecting mechanism 500 and connected to the vehicle body through the first brake assist device 300.

[0077] refer to Figure 6 If the vehicle uses a second brake assist device 400 to connect the brake connector 200 to the vehicle body, while the first connecting mechanism 500 is set on the brake connector 200, one end of the second brake assist device 400 is connected to the brake connector 200 through the second connecting mechanism 600, and is connected to the vehicle body through the second brake assist device 400.

[0078] The brake pedal assembly provided in this application embodiment connects the brake connector 200 to the pedal mechanism 100, and at least one of the first connecting mechanism 500 and the second connecting mechanism 600 is connected to the brake connector 200. One end of the first brake booster device 300 is detachably connected to the brake connector 200 via the first connecting mechanism 500. Alternatively, one end of the second brake booster device 400 is detachably connected to the brake connector 200 via the second connecting mechanism 600. This allows the brake pedal assembly to be connected to different brake booster devices via the brake connector 200, the first connecting mechanism 500, or the second connecting mechanism 600, thereby improving the adaptability and practicality of the brake pedal assembly, reducing the manufacturing cost of the brake pedal assembly, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.

[0079] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the brake connection seat 200 may include an outer seat 210 and an inner seat 220. The outer seat 210 has a first groove 211, and the inner seat 220 is detachably connected to the first groove 211, thereby enabling separate maintenance and replacement of the outer seat 210 and the inner seat 220.

[0080] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The inner seat 220 has a second groove 221, and a first connecting mechanism 500 is disposed within the second groove 221. For example, the first connecting mechanism 500 can be disposed on the inner sidewall of the second groove 221. When one end of the first braking assist device 300 is disposed within the second groove 221, the first braking assist device 300 can rotate relative to the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210. In order to reduce the risk of the first braking assist device 300 dislodging from the second groove 221, the first connecting mechanism 500 is used to restrict one end of the first braking assist device 300 located within the second groove 221. If it is necessary for the first braking assist device 300 to disengage from the second groove 221 of the inner seat 220, the restriction strength of the first connecting mechanism 500 on the one end of the first braking assist device 300 located within the second groove 221 can be reduced to allow the first connecting mechanism 500 to separate from the first braking assist device 300.

[0081] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6The second connecting mechanism 600 is detachably connected to the first groove 211. One end of the second brake assist device 400 is disposed in the second groove 221, and the second brake assist device 400 is detachably connected to the outer seat 210 through the second connecting mechanism 600. When the brake pedal assembly is connected to the vehicle body using the second brake assist device 400, one end of the second brake assist device 400 can be disposed in the second groove 221, and the second brake assist device 400 can rotate relative to the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210. The end of the second brake assist device 400 located in the second groove 221 can be detachably connected to the outer seat 210 through the second connecting mechanism 600.

[0082] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In its specific implementation, the second connecting mechanism 600 can be detachably connected to the groove wall of the first groove 211 of the outer seat 210. While connected to the groove wall of the first groove 211, the second connecting mechanism 600 can also be detachably connected to the second brake assist device 400. It is understood that the arrangement of the first connecting mechanism 500 within the second groove 221 will not affect the rotation of the second brake assist device 400 within the second groove 221.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the inner seat 220 can be a plastic structural component, and the outer seat 210 can be a metal structural component. Since both the first brake assist device 300 and the second brake assist device 400 can be located within the second groove 221 of the inner seat 220, prolonged wear will occur between the inner seat 220 and either the first brake assist device 300 or the second brake assist device 400, leading to damage to the plastic structural component. By configuring the brake connecting seat 200 as a detachably connected inner seat 220 and outer seat 210, the inner seat 220 can be easily replaced individually, reducing the replacement cost of the brake connecting seat 200.

[0084] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first connecting mechanism 500 may include a first limiting plate 510 and a second limiting plate 520. The second groove 221 has a first direction (e.g., Figure 3 As indicated by the middle arrow X, the first limiting plate 510 is disposed opposite to the first inner sidewall 2211 and the second inner sidewall 2212, with one end of the first limiting plate 510 disposed on the first inner sidewall 2211 and the other end of the first limiting plate 510 extending obliquely toward the middle of the bottom of the second groove 221. The second limiting plate 520 is disposed at one end of the second inner sidewall 2212 and the other end of the second limiting plate 520 extending obliquely toward the middle of the bottom of the second groove 221.

[0085] There is a gap 2213 between the end of the first limiting plate 510 facing away from the first inner sidewall 2211 and the end of the second limiting plate 520 facing away from the second inner sidewall 2212. When one end of the first braking assist device 300 passes through the gap 2213 and is disposed in the second groove 221, the first limiting plate 510 and the second limiting plate 520 are used together to detachably connect the first braking assist device 300, and the first braking assist device 300 rotates relative to the second groove 221.

[0086] By setting the first connecting mechanism 500 as a first limiting plate 510 and a second limiting plate 520, the structure of the first connecting mechanism 500 can be simplified and the manufacturing cost of the first connecting mechanism 500 can be reduced.

[0087] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first brake assist device 300 may include a ball head 310, a first push rod 320 and a first assist structure 330. The ball head 310 is detachably connected to the brake connecting seat 200 through a first connecting mechanism 500. One end of the first push rod 320 is connected to the ball head 310, and the other end of the first push rod 320 is used to connect to the first assist structure 330.

[0088] In some embodiments, if the first connecting mechanism 500 includes a first limiting plate 510 and a second limiting plate 520, and there is a gap 2213 between the first limiting plate 510 and the second limiting plate 520, then the ball head 310 can pass through the gap 2213 and be located in the second groove 221. The ball head 310 is clamped by the first limiting plate 510 and the second limiting plate 520, thereby preventing the ball head 310 from coming out of the second groove 221. The ball head 310 can rotate relative to the inner seat 220 in the second groove 221.

[0089] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bottom of the second groove of the inner seat 220 has a ball socket 223. When the ball head 310 is disposed in the second groove 221, part of the structure of the ball head 310 will be located in the ball socket 223, thereby increasing the accommodating space of the second groove 221 and facilitating the rotation of the ball head 310 in the second groove 221.

[0090] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first limiting plate 510 has a first locking block 511 on the side facing outward from the second groove 221. The first groove 211 has a third inner sidewall 2111 and a fourth inner sidewall 2112 that are spaced 2213 apart and opposite to each other in a first direction. The third inner sidewall 2111 has a first latch 2115 that cooperates with the first locking block 511. The first opening can be detachably connected to the first locking block 511, thereby enabling the outer seat 210 and the inner seat 220 to be detachably connected through the first locking block 511 and the first latch 2115.

[0091] By using the first locking block 511 and the first locking slot 2115 to achieve a detachable connection between the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210, the detachable connection structure between the outer seat 210 and the inner seat 220 can be simplified, and the detachability of the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210 can be improved, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the brake connection seat 200.

[0092] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Based on the above embodiment, the second limiting plate 520 has a second locking block (not shown in the figure) on the side facing outward from the second groove 221, and a second latch (not shown in the figure) on the fourth inner sidewall 2112 that cooperates with the second locking block. The second opening and the second locking block can be detachably connected, thereby enabling the outer seat 210 and the inner seat 220 to be detachably connected through the second locking block and the second latch. By being able to detachably connect the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210 using the first locking block and the first latch 2115, and simultaneously using the second locking block and the second latch to detachably connect the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210, the connection stability between the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210 can be improved, thereby improving the operational stability of the brake pedal assembly.

[0093] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Based on the above embodiments, the third inner sidewall 2111 of the first groove 211 has a first slot 2117, and the first limiting plate 510 has a first protrusion 2214 that cooperates with the first slot 2117. The first protrusion 2214 can be disposed in the first slot 2117, and the first protrusion 2214 and the first slot 2117 can be detachably connected, so that the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210 can be connected through the detachable connection of the first slot 2117 and the first protrusion 2214, thereby further improving the connection stability between the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210, and further improving the use stability of the brake connecting seat 200.

[0094] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Based on the above embodiment, the fourth inner sidewall 2112 has a second slot (not shown in the figure), and the second limiting plate 520 has a second protrusion (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the second slot. The second protrusion can be disposed in the second slot, and the second protrusion and the second slot can be detachably connected, so that the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210 can be connected through the detachable connection of the second slot and the second protrusion, further improving the connection stability between the inner seat 220 and the outer seat 210, and further improving the use stability of the brake connecting seat 200.

[0095] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second connecting mechanism 600 may include a connecting shaft 610 and two limiting members 620, and the first groove 211 has a second direction (e.g., Figure 2 The fifth inner wall 2113 and the sixth inner wall 2114 are arranged opposite each other on the middle arrow Y, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0096] When the second brake assist device 400 passes through the interval 2213 and is disposed in the second groove 221, the connecting shaft 610 passes through the fifth inner side wall 2113, one end of the second brake assist device 400 located in the second groove 221, and the sixth inner side wall 2114, so that the second brake assist device 400 is connected to the outer seat 210 through the connecting shaft 610.

[0097] The connecting shaft 610 extends to the outside of the first groove 211 at both ends in its axial direction. One limiting member 620 passes through the end of the connecting shaft 610 located outside the fifth inner sidewall 2113, and the other limiting member 620 passes through the end of the connecting shaft 610 located outside the sixth inner sidewall 2114. The two limiting members 620 restrict the axial displacement of the connecting shaft 610, thereby improving the connection stability between the brake connecting seat 200 and the second brake assist device 400 through the second connecting mechanism 600.

[0098] By setting the second connecting mechanism 600 as a connecting shaft 610 and two limiting members 620, the structure of the second connecting mechanism 600 is simplified, the manufacturing cost of the second connecting mechanism 600 is reduced, and the detachable connection between the second connecting mechanism 600 and the brake connecting seat 200 is facilitated.

[0099] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second brake assist device 400 may include a shift fork 410, a second push rod 420, and a second assist structure 430. The shift fork 410 is detachably connected to the brake connecting seat 200 via a second connecting mechanism 600.
