DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0016] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-2The present embodiment provides a car tailgate pedal, including a Z-shaped pedal body, the Z-shaped pedal body including a front crossbar 1, a middle vertical rod 2 and a rear footrest 3, the front and rear ends of the middle vertical rod 2 are respectively hinged to the end crossbar 1 and the rear footrest 3, the front crossbar 1 is fixed to the lock of the car tailgate, the middle vertical rod 2 is set against the rear of the car, the front crossbar 1 is provided with a long slot 4, the long slot 4 is movably provided with a first D-shaped hook 5, the first D-shaped hook 5 is buckled with the lock of the car tailgate, the first D-shaped hook 5, the upper end of which passes through the long slot 4 and is connected to the nut 6, and the first D-shaped hook can be moved up, down, left and right by loosening and tightening the nut; a first groove 7 for accommodating the middle vertical rod 2 is arranged in the middle of the tail pedal 3, a second groove 8 for accommodating the front cross bar 1 is arranged in the middle of the middle vertical rod 2, and a through hole 10 for accommodating the first D-shaped hook 5 is arranged in the center of the first groove 7; the middle vertical rod 2 and the front cross bar 1 are limited by rotating 90° through the rotating shaft, and the middle vertical rod 2 and the tail pedal 3 are limited by rotating 90° through the rotating shaft.
[0017] The installation and folding method of this embodiment is as follows: hook the first D-type hook 5 of the front cross bar 1 to the lock of the car tailgate, and fix it with the nut 6 to ensure that the hook is firmly positioned, unfold the middle vertical bar 2 to support the rear of the car to form a support; unfold the tail footrest 3 to limit it at 90 degrees with the middle vertical bar 2 to complete the installation. By loosening the nut 6, the position of the first D-type hook 5 in the long groove 4 can be adjusted to adapt to the lock position of the tailgate of different models. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the nut 6 to ensure that the hook is fixed. The user steps on the tail footrest 3, and with the support of the middle vertical bar 2 and the front cross bar 1, it is easy to get on and off the trunk of an SUV or MPV. When folding is required, fold the tail footrest 3 into the first groove 7 of the middle vertical bar 2, and fold the middle vertical bar 2 into the second groove 8 of the front cross bar 1, so that the entire device is stored to the smallest volume for easy storage and carrying.
[0018] The front crossbar of the Z-shaped footrest of this embodiment hooks the lock of the car tailgate, and the middle vertical bar supports the rear of the car, together forming a support point, which can be folded and stored, with a small volume, easy to carry and store; through the design of the first D-type hook 5 and the long groove 4, quick installation and disassembly can be achieved to adapt to the tailgate lock position of different models. The middle vertical bar 2 supports the rear of the car, and the front crossbar 1 hooks the lock to form a stable triangular support structure to ensure safe use. The first D-type hook 5 can adjust the position and is suitable for the lock of the tailgate of different models of cars. The 90-degree limit is achieved by the rotating shaft, the structure is simple and reliable, and it is easy to operate and maintain. The tail footrest 3 and the middle vertical bar 2 are respectively designed with a first groove 7 and a second groove 8. After folding, the overall volume is small and convenient for storage.
[0019] Example 2: Reference Figure 3-4This embodiment is a further improvement on the basis of the embodiment 1, and the tail pedal 3 thereof adopts a two-stage pedal, which includes a first pedal 31 and a second pedal 32. The second pedal 32 is hinged at the middle of the middle vertical rod 2, and the second pedal 32 is hinged to the tail end of the middle vertical rod 2. The second pedal 32 and the middle vertical rod 2 are folded and placed in the first groove 7 of the first pedal 32. The first groove 7 includes a second pedal receiving groove 71 and a middle vertical rod receiving groove 72. The second pedal receiving groove 71 is used to receive the second pedal 32, and the middle vertical rod receiving groove 72 is used to receive the middle vertical rod 2. The first pedal 31 and the second pedal 32 provide more pedaling space, and the user can choose to use one or two-stage pedals according to the needs to adapt to different heights and climbing requirements. The two-stage pedal design reduces the stride height of the user when getting on and off the vehicle, reduces the difficulty of climbing, and is particularly suitable for long-term use or frequent getting on and off the vehicle.
[0020] Example 3: Reference Figure 5-6 This embodiment is a further improvement on the embodiment 1. The front end cross bar in the embodiment 1 is cancelled, and a second D-type hook 9 is used. The front end of the second D-type hook 9 is buckled with the lock of the car tailgate, and the tail of the second D-type hook 9 vertically passes through the middle vertical bar 2 and is fixed by a nut. By loosening and tightening the nut, the position of the second D-type hook 9 can be adjusted to adapt to the lock position of the car tailgate of different models. The adjustment range is larger, the applicability is wider, and the needs of more users can be met.
[0021] The second D-type hook 9 is directly connected to the middle vertical rod 2 to form a more direct support structure, reducing the intermediate links and improving the stability and reliability of the device. The middle vertical rod 2 supports the rear of the vehicle and forms a stable triangular support with the second D-type hook 9 to ensure safe use. After the front cross bar 1 is removed, the folded volume of the device is further reduced, which is convenient for storage and carrying. The folded second D-type hook 9 is placed in the through hole 10 in the middle of the first groove.
[0022] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention.
