Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-collision vehicle pedal technology, specifically to an adaptive retractable anti-collision vehicle pedal and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Adaptive retractable anti-collision pedals are a high-tech automotive accessory designed to improve vehicle safety and convenience. This accessory achieves automatic pedal retraction through the coordinated work of sensor switches, electric motors, and retractable components. The pedal retraction is controlled by an intelligent system, offering rapid response and easy operation.

[0003] The adaptive retractable anti-collision car running board provides convenient assistance for getting in and out of the vehicle, and can automatically retract when it detects obstacles or is not needed to avoid potential collisions and damage. When used at night, the fluorescent strip at the top of the running board provides illumination to increase safety.

[0004] Adaptive telescopic anti-collision vehicle pedals are usually located at the bottom or side of the vehicle. These parts are prone to contact with the ground during driving, especially when driving off-road or on muddy roads. On wet or muddy roads, water and mud can easily adhere to the tire surface. When the wheel rotates, the water and mud on the tire are thrown off the tire surface by centrifugal force, making it easier for them to come into contact with mud and gravel. The mud and gravel accumulated on the surface of the pedal and telescopic components will hinder the normal extension and retraction of the pedal, resulting in obstructed movement.

[0005] Therefore, an adaptive retractable anti-collision vehicle pedal and its usage method are proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adaptive telescopic anti-collision car pedal and its usage method, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the accumulation of mud and gravel on the surface of the pedal and telescopic component will hinder the normal extension and retraction of the pedal, resulting in obstructed movement.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An adaptive telescopic anti-collision vehicle pedal and its usage method are disclosed. The pedal comprises a telescopic assembly with an automatic telescopic function and a pedal, both equipped with a controller.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the pedal includes a pedal body, an anti-slip component is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pedal body, mounting grooves are provided at both ends of the pedal body, mounting holes are provided at the upper end of the mounting grooves, and the mounting grooves are all provided at both ends of the pedal body; a plurality of mounting holes are provided, and the mounting holes are evenly and equidistantly distributed on one side of the mounting grooves, and the mounting holes correspond one-to-one with the mounting pins.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, the spring and mounting pin are provided in a plurality of manner, the center points of the spring and mounting pin are located on the same vertical line, the mounting pin is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting block, and the spring and mounting pin are evenly and equidistantly distributed on the inner side of the mounting block.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, one end of the motor spindle passes through one side of the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed plate, and the rotating rod is located inside the empty compartment.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, two gears are provided, which are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the rotating rod, are parallel to each other, and are meshed with a rack on the outside of the gears. The center points of the two gears are located on the same horizontal line.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the rack is provided in a plurality of manner, the racks are distributed in an arc shape, the racks are evenly and equidistantly distributed on one side of the arc shape of the drive plate, and the vertical cross-section of the rack is trapezoidal.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, the following features are provided: a plurality of drainage columns are provided, the cross-sectional shape of the drainage columns is trapezoidal, the drainage columns are evenly and equidistantly distributed on the upper end of the anti-collision pad body, and the drainage columns are parallel to each other.

[0015] As a further optimization of the present invention, the friction holes are provided in a plurality of forms, the friction holes are in the shape of cuboids, the friction holes are evenly and equidistantly distributed on one side of the drainage column, and the friction holes are parallel to each other.

[0016] As a further optimization of the present invention, the mudguard is disposed on the other side of the anti-collision pad body, the mudguard is parallel to the anti-collision pad body, and one side of the mudguard is wavy.

[0017] S1: When the door is opened, the pedal receives a signal from the sensor to control the extension or retraction of the telescopic component. At the same time, the pedal will automatically sense and extend. If the sensor detects an obstacle during the extension or retraction of the pedal, the system will automatically stop the pedal to avoid a collision.

[0018] S2: Before using the pedal, install the protective device inside the mounting groove of the pedal body. During installation, first install the mounting pin by pressing one end of the mounting pin and squeezing the spring. When the mounting block is installed inside the mounting groove, the mounting pin will enter the mounting hole through the spring force to fix it in place.

[0019] S3: When the door is opened, the pedal receives a signal from the sensor to control the extension or retraction of the telescopic component. At the same time, the sensor signal controls the motor to operate through the control circuit. The motor will control the rotating rod and gear to rotate. The rotation of the gear will drive the rack and drive plate to rotate at a certain angle, and at the same time drive the adjustment plate to rotate clockwise. When the pedal extension is complete, the adjustment plate will be parallel to the pedal. At this time, the adjustment plate can effectively extend the length of the pedal. The extended pedal can provide a more stable support point, reducing the difficulty and risk of getting in and out of the vehicle.

[0020] S4: After passengers have boarded or alighted, the pedal will automatically retract when the door closes. During the retraction process, sensor signals simultaneously control the motor via the control circuit. The motor will control the adjusting plate to rotate counterclockwise. When the pedal is fully retracted, the adjusting plate will rotate at a certain angle, effectively protecting the pedal and telescopic components. Simultaneously, a sealing strip at one end of the adjusting plate will adhere tightly to the vehicle body, preventing splashed water and mud from adhering to the pedal and telescopic components, thus preventing premature wear of the pedal and its telescopic mechanism, which would affect normal pedal extension and retraction. The drainage column effectively drains water from the pedal surface, avoiding the risk of slipping due to water accumulation and increasing friction. The mudguard and anti-collision pad reduce mud and water splashing onto the pedal surface, preventing mud and sand from entering the vehicle's telescopic components and causing corrosion, ensuring the normal extension and retraction of the pedal.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. In this invention, by means of a protective device, when the pedal is extended, the adjusting plate rotates clockwise under the control of the motor to be parallel to the pedal, thereby extending the pedal length and providing a more stable support point. When the door is closed and the pedal is retracted, the adjusting plate rotates counterclockwise to effectively protect the pedal and the telescopic assembly. The sealing strip can fit tightly against the vehicle body to prevent water stains and mud from adhering to the surface of the pedal and the telescopic assembly, effectively preventing accumulated substances from affecting the normal extension and retraction of the pedal.

[0023] 2. In this invention, the combination of multiple mounting holes and mounting slots makes the installation of the protective device more stable. During installation, the mounting block can be easily installed in the mounting slot by squeezing the spring and the mounting pin. When the mounting pin aligns with the mounting hole, the spring force causes the mounting pin to enter the mounting hole, achieving quick fixing.

[0024] 3. In this invention, the drainage column can quickly drain water from the surface of the pedal, reducing the risk of slipping. The friction holes on the outside further increase the friction, providing safer support for passengers getting on and off the vehicle. The anti-collision pad can effectively reduce the impact force of flying stones, ensuring a more stable structure.

[0025] 4. In this invention, the mudguard is designed in a wave shape, which can effectively prevent mud and water from splashing onto the pedal and telescopic assembly, prevent mud and sand erosion, extend the service life of the pedal and telescopic assembly, and provide comprehensive protection for the pedal and telescopic assembly when the car door is opened and closed.
