[0063] When the outer side surface of the second pedal portion 103 is in the same position, at least a portion of the connecting portion 102 extends downward and inwardly, so that the length of the second pedal portion 103 in the inner and outer directions or in the left and right directions can be increased, thereby increasing the foot accommodating space above the second pedal portion 103, so that the occupant can support a larger area of ​​the foot on the second pedal portion 103, which is conducive to increasing the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle for the occupants, reducing the difficulty of getting on and off the vehicle, and improving the stability and comfort of getting on and off the vehicle.

[0064] According to the threshold trim assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, by providing a first tread portion 101 and a second tread portion 103 arranged in sequence in the up-down direction, the first tread portion 101 and the second tread portion 103 form a graded step, and the occupant can step on the first tread portion 101 and the second tread portion 103 to get on and off the vehicle, thereby alleviating the inconvenience of getting on and off the vehicle caused by the high threshold of the vehicle, and increasing the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle for occupants of different ages; on the other hand, by making the connecting portion 102 connected between the first tread portion 101 and the second tread portion 103 at least partially extend downward and inward, the length of the second tread portion 103 in the inside-out direction or the left-right direction is increased, so that the foot accommodating space above the second tread portion 103 can be increased, so that the occupant can support a larger area of ​​the foot on the second tread portion 103, which is conducive to increasing the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle for the occupant, reducing the difficulty of getting on and off the vehicle, and improving the stability and comfort of getting on and off the vehicle.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the threshold trim assembly 100 further includes a support member 20, and the first tread portion 101 is supported on the vehicle floor 200 through the support member 20. It should be noted that, in order to obtain a better appearance effect, the inner edge of the first tread portion 101 can be overlapped with the vehicle carpet 300. At this time, the first tread portion 101 will be separated from the vehicle floor 200 to form a cavity portion, and since there is no support below, the support strength of this portion is low, and abnormal noise and deformation problems are prone to occur.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a support member 20, the first pedal portion 101 is supported on the vehicle floor 200 through the support member 20, so that the first pedal portion 101 can be supported and / or can be further fixed, thereby reducing the problem of deformation of the first pedal portion 101 and generation of abnormal noise.

[0067] In some embodiments, the support member 20 may be a support plate, a support block, or a hollow support frame.

[0068] In some embodiments, the support member 20 is connected to the vehicle floor 200. For example, the support member 20 can be connected to the vehicle floor 200 by snapping, welding, bolting, etc., which is not specifically limited here. The connecting member used by the support member 20 to connect to the vehicle floor 200 can be provided at the bottom of the support member 20 or at the circumferential side wall of the support member 20. For example, a buckle can be provided at the bottom of the support member 20 to quickly connect to the vehicle floor 200.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first tread portion 101 can be directly abutted against the support member 20, or can be connected to the support member 20. For example, the first tread portion 101 can be clamped with the support member 20, or the first tread portion 101 can be threadedly connected to the support member 20, or the first tread portion 101 can be welded to the support member 20, etc., and no specific limitations are made here.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first pedal portion 101 may be provided with a first clip, the support member 20 may be provided with a second clip, the first clip and the second clip are clipped to each other, the first clip and the second clip may be one of the clip and the slot, and the first clip and the second clip may be the other of the clip and the slot.

[0071] In some embodiments, the lower side surface of the first pedal portion 101 and the lower side surface of the second pedal portion 103 are both provided with reinforcing ribs 106. The reinforcing ribs 106 not only play the role of strengthening the structural strength of the first pedal portion 101 and the second pedal portion 103, but also enable the first pedal portion 101 to be supported on the support member 20 and the second pedal portion 103 to be supported on the driving device 400. The pedals are firm and without collapse, not prone to deformation, and have a good supporting effect.

[0072] Specifically, for example Figure 7 As shown, the lower side of the first tread portion 101 and the lower side of the second tread portion 103 are provided with reinforcing ribs 106 in the form of circular ribs, which provide a better supporting effect. The lower side of the first tread portion 101 and the inner side of the connecting portion 102 may be provided with reinforcing ribs 106 in the form of rounded ribs.

[0074] In some embodiments, the support member 20 includes a third hook 2011, a fourth hook 2021, a first stopper 2012 and a second stopper 2022. The third hook 2011 and the first stopper 2012 jointly define a first slot 201 (eg, Fig.15 As shown in the figure, the fourth hook 2021 and the second stopper 2022 jointly define the second slot 202, the third hook 2011 and the fourth hook 2021 are spaced apart along the inside and outside directions of the vehicle and face opposite directions, the hook heads of the first hook 1011 and the third hook 2011 are opposite and mutually engaged, and the hook heads of the second hook 1012 and the fourth hook 2021 are opposite and mutually engaged.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first card slot 201 and the second card slot 202 may also be card slots with card ports that can be adapted to engage with the first hook 1011 and the second hook 1012 (not shown in the figure), or other card slots, which are not specifically limited here.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the support member 20 has a harness receiving groove 203, and a stopper 204 is provided at the notch of the harness receiving groove 203, and the two ends of the stopper 204 are respectively connected to the two side edges opposite to the notch. The harness receiving groove 203 is used to pass the harness, and the stopper 204 is used to limit the harness passed through the harness receiving groove 203. The support member 20 can not only support the first stepping part 101, but also pass the fixed harness, which is conducive to making the structure near the vehicle door sill beam more compact and regular.

[0077] In some embodiments, the stopper 204 may extend in the front-to-back direction or in the left-to-right direction. The stopper 204 may be integrally formed with the support member 20, and both ends of the stopper 204 may be connected to the support member 20 by snapping, or one end may be connected to the support member 20 by snapping, and the other end may be integrally formed with the support member 20.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the limiter 204 is an elastic folding piece, one end of which is integrally connected to the support member 20, and the other end of which is clamped with the support member 20. For example, a limiter clamping groove 2041 is provided at the notch of the support member 20, and a limiter clamping hook 2042 is provided at the other end of the limiter 204, and the limiter clamping hook 2042 is clamped in the limiter clamping groove 2041.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the support member 20 includes a plurality of support platforms 205. The outer side walls of the support platforms 205 in the left and right directions are provided with reinforcing structural ribs, and the first treading portion 101 is supported on the support platforms 205. The support platforms 205 have better support strength and better support effect.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the threshold trim assembly 100 further includes a light-emitting component 30, which is disposed on the threshold trim body 10. Here, the light-emitting component 30 can be disposed on the first tread portion 101, the second tread portion 103, or the connecting portion 102. By arranging the light-emitting component 30 on the threshold trim body 10, the light-emitting component 30 can illuminate the threshold trim body 10, thereby facilitating passengers to get on and off the vehicle in a low-light environment.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the light emitting assembly 30 is disposed on the connecting portion 102. Thus, compared with the light emitting assembly 30 disposed on the circumferential edge of the first tread portion 101 or the second tread portion 103, the light emitting assembly 30 is disposed on the connecting portion 102 in this embodiment, so that the light emitted by the light emitting assembly 30 can be irradiated on the second tread portion 103 as much as possible, and the second tread portion 103 can be better illuminated, which is conducive to the occupant to quickly determine the treading position.

[0082] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the connecting portion 102 includes a first portion 1023 and a second portion 1024 connected to each other, the first portion 1023 is connected to the first treading portion 101, the second portion 1024 is connected to the second treading portion 103, the second portion 1024 extends downward and inwardly in an inclined manner, and the light emitting assembly 30 is arranged at the first portion 1023. In other words, the position of the first portion 1023 in the vertical direction is higher than the position of the second portion 1024 in the vertical direction, and the light emitting assembly 30 is arranged at the first portion 1023, so that the light emitting assembly 30 is not easy to contact with the passenger's feet and is not easy to be damaged.

[0083] In the embodiment where the light emitting assembly 30 is disposed on the first portion 1023, the first portion 1023 extends downward, so that the light emitting assembly 30 can be arranged in a vertical left-right direction. At the same time, the first portion 1023 extends downward, so that the distance between the first portion 1023 and the support member 20 is larger, and interference between the first portion 1023 and the support member 20 is less likely to occur.

[0084] However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The first portion 1023 may extend downward and obliquely inward or extend downward and obliquely outward. The inclination angle of the first portion 1023 may be different from the inclination angle of the second portion 1024 .

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Fig.12 and Fig.14 As shown, the connecting portion 102 is provided with a mounting groove 1021 for accommodating the light emitting assembly 30. On the one hand, the mounting groove 1021 is provided, and the mounting groove 1021 can accommodate the light emitting assembly 30, thereby helping to reduce the risk of the light emitting assembly 30 being separated; on the other hand, the mounting groove 1021 can play a certain supporting and limiting role, which is helpful to simplify the installation of the light emitting assembly 30; on the other hand, the mounting groove 1021 can support the light emitting assembly 30 in the left-right direction, so that the light emitting assembly 30 is not easily deformed in the left-right direction.

[0086] Since at least part of the connecting portion 102 extends downward and inwardly, in order to facilitate demoulding when the mounting groove 1021 and the connecting portion 102 are integrally formed, in some embodiments, such as Fig.12 and Fig.14As shown, the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the installation groove 1021 are both extended downward and inwardly. That is, when the light emitting assembly 30 is installed, the installation direction is not perpendicular to the up-down direction or the left-right direction, but is inserted into the installation groove 1021 downward and inwardly, which can reduce the difficulty of demolding the threshold trim assembly 100.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.10 As shown, the light-emitting assembly 30 includes a light-emitting body 303 and a decorative member 304. The light-emitting body 303 is disposed between the decorative member 304 and the connecting portion 102. The decorative member 304 includes a light-transmitting area 3041. The light-transmitting area 3041 is at least partially arranged opposite to the light-emitting body 303. When the light-emitting body 303 emits light, light can be emitted through the light-transmitting area 3041. The light-transmitting area 3041 can be designed in advance into a specific pattern, so that when the light-emitting body 303 emits light, the specific pattern will be in a light-emitting state, so as to convey some information to the occupant.

[0088] In some specific embodiments, the light-transmitting area 3041 may be a hollow portion, and the light-emitting body 303 may be directly attached to the inner side of the decorative member 304, and light is emitted through the hollow portion. Alternatively, the light-emitting body 303 may have a convex portion 3031 adapted to the hollow portion, and the convex portion 3031 is inserted into the hollow portion (such as Fig.12 As shown), the outer side of the light emitting component 30 is flat and dust is not easily accumulated. Or the light-transmitting area 3041 is a light-transmitting area 3041 formed by a transparent material so that light can be emitted from the light-transmitting area 3041, which should be within the protection scope of the present application.
