[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a car bumper foot pedal includes an upper cover 1, a lower connector 2, and a middle support 3. The upper cover 1 is tightly connected to the lower connector 2 around its perimeter, and a cavity 4 is formed between the upper cover 1 and the lower connector 2 after they are tightly connected. The upper and lower surfaces of the middle support 3 are respectively tightly connected to the upper and lower inner walls of the middle part of the cavity 4.

[0028] Its working principle is as follows: the upper cover 1 and the lower connecting part 2 are used to match the installation position space and shape of the bumper 6. The cavity 4 between the upper cover 1 and the lower connecting part 2 can reduce the weight of the foot pedal. In addition, the setting of the middle support part 3 can improve the support strength of the entire foot pedal when it is in use. The bumper 6 has a mounting groove for installing the foot pedal. The foot pedal is fixedly connected in the mounting groove. In this way, a kind of car bumper foot pedal can be formed on the basis of the car bumper 6, which meets the new solution of the bumper 6 foot pedal of the off-road style SUV model.

[0029] Based on the above working principle, some preferred embodiments or implementation structures are provided, such as Figure 3 As shown, a limiting pin 11 is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the upper cover 1, and a limiting pin hole that matches and connects with the limiting pin 11 is provided on the upper surface of the intermediate support 3. This facilitates the mutual positioning of the intermediate support 3 and the upper cover 1, enabling rapid assembly.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower connector 2 includes a first base plate 21. A first bending arm 22 is provided on one side of the first base plate 21, and the angle between the first bending arm 22 and the first base plate 21 is greater than 90 degrees. A second bending arm 23 is provided at the upper end of the first bending arm 22, and the angle between the first bending arm 22 and the second bending arm 23 is greater than 90 degrees. This increases the foot pedal area. The other sides of the first base plate 21 are provided with third bending arms 24 that match and connect with the first bending arms 22 and the second bending arms 23 to form the lower half of the cavity 4. See reference. Figure 6 As shown, during installation, the remaining side bending arms can be perfectly fitted to the installation position of the bumper 6. The first bending arm 22 and the second bending arm 23 can protrude behind the bumper 6. When they collide with external objects, they will be the first to collide, which can protect the rest of the rear of the vehicle from priority collision, thereby reducing the damage area and lowering the repair cost.

[0031] A threaded mounting hole 231 is provided in the middle of the first bending arm 22. A screw mounting seat is provided on the upper cover 1 at the position corresponding to the threaded mounting hole 231, and a screw 25 is locked to the screw mounting seat in the threaded mounting hole 231. This facilitates the installation and connection of the upper cover 1 from the position protruding behind the bumper 6, so that the upper cover 1 has higher support strength and better safety under the action of the screw mounting seat. Those skilled in the art should be able to imagine that the connection position between the upper cover 1 and the lower connecting part 2 can be fastened by a snap-fit ​​device, which can be a common wedge-shaped protrusion and a locking groove.

[0032] The upper cover 1 includes a second base plate 13, and a fourth bent arm 14 is provided on the side of the second base plate 13, which matches the second base plate 13 to form the upper half of the cavity 4. This can reduce the volume-to-weight ratio of the upper cover 1, which is beneficial for manufacturing a lightweight vehicle body. Drainage holes 10 are provided at the low-lying areas corresponding to the installation positions on the upper cover 1 and the lower connector 2.

[0033] The area of ​​the first substrate 21 is smaller than the area of ​​the second substrate 13. This allows the area of ​​the foot pedal to be larger than the area of ​​the lower connector 2 that contacts the bumper 6, thereby increasing the tread ratio, saving material for the connector 2, and reducing the space occupied during installation.

[0034] The intermediate support 3 includes a third base plate 31, and five bending arms 32 are connected to three sides of the third base plate 31. The angle between the fifth bending arms 32 and the third base plate 31 is greater than 90 degrees. A sixth bending arm 33 is connected to the bottom of the fifth bending arm 32, and the sixth bending arm 33 is parallel to the third base plate 31. The sixth bending arm 33 and the fifth bending arm 32 can provide support for the middle part of the second base plate 13 and improve the compressive strength of the stepping area.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the sixth bending arm 33 is provided with a threaded fixing hole for fixing the intermediate support 3 and the lower connecting part 2 by thread. This facilitates the connection of the intermediate support 3, the lower connecting part 2, and the bumper 6, etc.

[0036] Reinforcing ribs 20 are provided on the inner sidewalls of both the upper cover 1 and the lower connector 2. This can improve the support strength at the bends of the upper cover 1 and the lower connector 2, enabling the bends to withstand higher trampling intensity.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned car bumper footrest also includes, for example... Figure 4 The support plate 5 is shown, and the lower connector 2 is connected to the support plate 5, and is matched and supported by the bumper 6 through the support plate 5. The middle support, the lower connector 2, the support plate 5 and the bumper 6 body can be connected by bolts 7, giving the foot pedal a stable connection strength and providing cantilever support for the foot pedal, so that the lower connector 2 of the foot pedal can be connected to the part of the bumper 6 with high support strength. Those skilled in the art should be able to imagine that the lower connector 2 can be detachably connected to the support plate 5, such as by screw connection, to realize the maintenance and installation position adjustment and model change of the foot pedal.

[0038] The upper surface of the upper cover 1 is provided with stripes 15; the stripes 15 include horizontal and vertical elliptical protrusions arranged at intervals. Those skilled in the art should be able to imagine that stripes 15 with other arrangements can also be applied to the upper surface of the upper cover 1, such as stripes 15 arranged at intervals in a "w" shape.

[0039] To meet the relevant ergonomic requirements of product design, this product has a foot area of ​​approximately 185mm in length and 181mm in width, which effectively satisfies ergonomic needs. Horizontal and vertical stripes are designed on the surface to prevent slipping and make the foot pedal more attractive.

[0040] When the aforementioned car bumper footrest is installed, a person can step on the upper surface of the upper cover 1 to enter the car, or stand directly on the bumper footrest, hold onto the car body, and have closer contact with the ground.
