Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle parts, and in particular to a vehicle welcome pedal and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In vehicles, especially those with higher chassis, such as off-road vehicles, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), station wagons, and buses, a vehicle welcome pedal is set at the corresponding position of the vehicle's outer door to facilitate passengers getting on and off the vehicle. When the passenger steps on the vehicle welcome pedal, a force is applied to the vehicle welcome pedal. Therefore, the vehicle welcome pedal will be repeatedly subjected to the force by the passengers, so the vehicle welcome pedal needs to have a certain strength to support passengers getting on and off the vehicle.

[0003] In the related art, the vehicle welcome pedal adopts a cast steel structure or a cast iron structure to enhance the supporting strength of the vehicle welcome pedal itself, but the cast steel structure or the cast iron structure is heavy, and the vehicle welcome pedal is connected to the bottom of the vehicle body through a connector.

[0004] Therefore, due to the heavy weight of the vehicle welcome pedal, there is a technical problem in the related art that the connecting parts are easily deformed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle welcome pedal and a vehicle, aiming to solve the technical problem that the connecting parts used to connect the vehicle welcome pedal and the vehicle body are easily deformed, and to reduce the deformation amount and deformation risk of the connecting parts.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle welcome pedal, comprising:

[0008] The pedal body is configured to be horizontally mounted on the vehicle, the pedal body being a stamped sheet metal structure, and the surface of the pedal body having an anti-corrosion layer;

[0009] A frame fixed to the lower surface of the pedal body;

[0010] The non-metal decorative component is at least arranged around the lower edge of the pedal body and connected to the frame. The non-metal decorative component is configured to cover the lower edge of the pedal body.

[0011] In this way, by setting the skeleton on the lower surface of the pedal body, the skeleton and the pedal body can jointly resist the force applied to the vehicle welcome pedal during the passengers getting on and off the vehicle, thereby improving the structural strength and support strength of the vehicle welcome pedal and reducing the risk of deformation of the vehicle welcome pedal during the passengers' stepping on it. On this basis, by setting the pedal body in the vehicle welcome pedal as a sheet metal structure, the weight of the pedal body is reduced compared to the cast steel structure and cast iron structure, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle welcome pedal; in addition, the decorative parts are set as non-metallic decorative parts, which reduce the weight of the decorative parts compared to metal decorative parts, thereby further reducing the weight of the vehicle welcome pedal, and then reducing the deformation amount and deformation risk of the connecting parts between the vehicle welcome pedal and the vehicle body due to the heavy weight of the vehicle welcome pedal.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pedal body has a plurality of weight-reducing holes, and the plurality of weight-reducing holes are arranged at intervals.

[0013] This arrangement further reduces the weight of the pedal body, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle's welcome pedal. Furthermore, the weight-reducing holes in the pedal body also function to drain water and dust, preventing rainwater or dust from the soles of passengers' shoes from accumulating on the pedal body, ensuring that the vehicle's welcome pedal remains beautiful at all times.

[0014] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the pedal body has a plurality of reinforcing protrusions, and the lower surface of the pedal body has a recess extending toward one side of the upper surface of the pedal body at a position corresponding to each of the reinforcing protrusions.

[0015] Such arrangement makes the pedal body not a horizontal plate-like member, and the arrangement of the reinforcing protrusions increases the structural strength of the pedal body, thereby improving the supporting strength of the vehicle welcome pedal.

[0016] In some embodiments, along the length direction of the pedal body, the plurality of weight-reducing holes and the plurality of reinforcing protrusions are alternately arranged in sequence; and / or,

[0017] The edge of the weight-reducing hole has a downward flange structure.

[0018] With such a setting, on the one hand, multiple weight-reducing holes and multiple reinforcing protrusions are arranged alternately at one time, which reduces the weight of the pedal body, enhances the supporting strength of the pedal body, and at the same time improves the aesthetics and anti-slip performance of the vehicle welcome pedal; on the other hand, the setting of the flange structure at the edge of the weight-reducing hole facilitates smoother discharge of water and dust from the weight-reducing hole.

[0019] In some embodiments, along the length direction of the pedal body, a side edge of the pedal body close to the vehicle has an upwardly extending connecting plate, and a surface of the connecting plate is in contact with a surface of the vehicle.

[0020] This arrangement, on the one hand, improves the aesthetics of the connection between the vehicle welcome pedal and the vehicle, and on the other hand, prevents passengers from excessively extending into the depth direction of the pedal body when stepping on the vehicle welcome pedal, causing the passenger's feet to be stuck in the gap between the welcome pedal and the vehicle and injured, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the welcome pedal.

[0021] In some embodiments, along the length direction of the pedal body, the lower surface of the pedal body has a plurality of reinforcing ribs arranged at intervals and connected to the connecting plate, and the reinforcing ribs are configured to strengthen the connection strength between the connecting plate and the pedal body.

[0022] This arrangement prevents the connecting plate from being disconnected from the pedal body due to long-term contact by passengers.

[0023] In some embodiments, the skeleton includes a first sub-skeleton and multiple second sub-skeletons, the first sub-skeleton is arranged to form a long ring structure, and along the length direction of the pedal body, multiple second sub-skeletons are arranged in sequence at intervals, and the two ends of the second sub-skeleton are respectively connected to the two ends of the ring structure formed by the first sub-skeleton; wherein the length direction of the first sub-skeleton is consistent with the length direction of the pedal body.

[0024] In this way, the setting of the second sub-frame in the skeleton improves the structural strength of the first sub-frame; the joint setting of the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame enables the pedal body in the vehicle welcome pedal to be subjected to the force of the passenger stepping on it. The force exerted on the skeleton can be borne by the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame, making the force more dispersed, thereby avoiding the concentration of force and improving the supporting strength of the skeleton.

[0025] In some embodiments, the first sub-skeleton is bonded to the lower surface of the pedal body, and along the extension direction of the first sub-skeleton, the first sub-skeleton has a plurality of first welding portions spaced apart, and the lower surface of the pedal body has second welding portions at positions corresponding to each of the first welding portions, and the first welding portions and the second welding portions are laser welded.

[0026] In this way, during the assembly of the frame of the vehicle welcome pedal and the pedal body, the end face of the first sub-frame facing the pedal body is first bonded to the lower surface of the pedal body, thereby pre-fixing the frame to the lower surface of the pedal body, thereby improving the relative position setting accuracy between the two, and then the first welding part and the second welding part are laser welded to improve the connection reliability between the frame and the pedal body.

[0027] In some embodiments, the non-metallic decorative component is located below the pedal body and is detachably connected to the frame, and along the thickness direction of the pedal body, the projection of the non-metallic decorative component covers the lower edge of the pedal body.

[0028] With such an arrangement, on the one hand, the non-metallic decorative part and the pedal body are detachably connected, which facilitates the installation of the non-metallic decorative part on the vehicle welcome pedal and facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the non-metallic decorative part; on the other hand, the projection of the non-metallic decorative part covers the lower edge of the pedal body, so that the non-metallic decorative part blocks the lower edge of the pedal body away from the edge of the vehicle, and the non-metallic material of the non-metallic decorative frame plays an anti-collision role to avoid passengers from being injured when colliding with the lower edge of the pedal body during getting on and off the vehicle.

[0029] In some embodiments, the non-metallic decorative piece has a first fixing portion, the frame has a second fixing portion, and the non-metallic decorative piece is fixedly connected to the frame via the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion.

[0030] This arrangement prevents the non-metallic decorative parts from falling off the frame due to the vibration of the vehicle.

[0031] In some embodiments, the pedal body is a stamped aluminum alloy structure; and / or,

[0032] The non-metallic decorative part is a plastic structure; and / or,

[0033] The anti-corrosion layer is a scratch-resistant anti-corrosion coating.

[0034] With this arrangement, the pedal body is a stamped aluminum alloy structure. The aluminum alloy structure has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and strong corrosion resistance, which can reduce the weight of the pedal body. The non-metallic decorative parts are plastic structures. Compared with metal materials, the plastic structure is lighter, which can reduce the weight of the plastic structure, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle welcome pedal and reducing the deformation and deformation risk of the connecting parts between the vehicle welcome pedal and the vehicle body due to the heavy weight of the vehicle welcome pedal; the anti-corrosion layer is a scratch-resistant anti-corrosion coating to improve the scratch resistance and corrosion resistance of the pedal body and increase the service life of the vehicle welcome pedal.

[0035] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle comprising a vehicle body and a vehicle welcome pedal as described above, wherein a passenger enters a cabin of the vehicle body or gets off the vehicle by stepping on the vehicle welcome pedal.

[0036] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application has the same beneficial effects as the vehicle welcome pedal provided in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0037] In addition to the technical problems solved by the embodiments of the present application described above, the technical features that constitute the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by the technical features of these technical solutions, the vehicle welcome pedal and other technical problems that can be solved by the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application, other technical features included in the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by these technical features will be further described in detail in the specific implementation methods.

[0056] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0057] In order to solve the technical problem that the connecting parts between the vehicle welcome pedal and the vehicle body are easily deformed, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle welcome pedal and a vehicle. The contents of this application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand the contents of this application more clearly and in detail.

[0058] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an installation structure of a vehicle welcome pedal provided in an embodiment of the present application on a vehicle; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle welcome pedal connected to the vehicle from a bottom-up perspective provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 10 includes a vehicle body 200 and a vehicle welcome pedal 100. The vehicle welcome pedal 100 is arranged on the outside of the vehicle 10 and below the vehicle door, so that passengers can enter the vehicle cabin or get off the vehicle cabin by stepping on the vehicle welcome pedal 100. For example, the vehicle 10 includes but is not limited to a car, a bus, a truck, an engineering vehicle, an emergency vehicle, etc. Figure 2As shown, a connector 210 is provided between the vehicle welcome step 100 and the vehicle 10. One end of the connector 210 is fixedly connected to the vehicle welcome step 100, and the other end of the connector 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the vehicle body 10. Exemplarily, the connector 210 is a rod-shaped member, a column-shaped member, etc., and the fixed connection between the connector 210 and the vehicle welcome step 100 and between the connector 210 and the vehicle body includes, but is not limited to, welding, bolt and screw connection, bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, etc.

[0059] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle welcome pedal 100 includes a pedal body 110 , a frame 120 and a non-metallic decorative component 130 .

[0060] The pedal body 110 is configured to be mounted horizontally on the vehicle 10. The pedal body 110 is a stamped sheet metal structure, and the surface of the pedal body 110 has an anti-corrosion layer. In some embodiments, the sheet metal structure can also be formed through processes such as extrusion and forging, but the stamping process is faster and saves production time. The sheet metal structure can be composed of an aluminum alloy, a titanium alloy, a magnesium alloy, a zinc alloy, etc. Exemplarily, the stamped sheet metal structure is a stamped aluminum alloy structure, which can be mass-produced at high speed while being lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant. The anti-corrosion layer is a scratch-resistant anti-corrosion coating. Exemplarily, the scratch-resistant anti-corrosion coating can be a coating made of epoxy resin, polyurethane, acrylic, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, etc., to improve the scratch resistance and corrosion resistance of the pedal body 110. The color of the anti-corrosion layer can be consistent with the color of the vehicle body 200 to enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle 10. Exemplarily, the color can be black.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame 120 of the vehicle welcome pedal 100 is fixed to the lower surface of the pedal body 110 to enhance the support strength of the pedal body 110 and reduce the deformation and risk of deformation of the pedal body 110 when a passenger steps on the vehicle welcome pedal 100. Exemplarily, the frame 120 is made of aluminum alloy. Exemplarily, the fixing methods for the frame 120 and the lower surface of the pedal body 110 include, but are not limited to, welding, bonding, bolt and screw connection, and snap-fit ​​connection.

[0062] In addition, the non-metallic decorative part 130 in the vehicle welcome pedal 100 is at least arranged around the lower edge of the pedal body 110 and is connected to the frame 120. The non-metallic decorative part 130 is configured to cover the lower edge of the pedal body 110 to prevent passengers from colliding with the lower edge of the pedal body 110 when getting on or off the vehicle.

[0063] In some embodiments, the edge shape of the non-metallic decorative member 130 needs to be consistent with the edge shape of the pedal body 110, for example, Figure 3 As shown, the pedal body 110 is in the shape of a long strip, and the corner on the side facing the outside of the vehicle 10 is set to be an arc to prevent the passenger from colliding with the right-angled corner, while the non-metallic decorative part 130 is a strip with two corresponding arcs. Of course, the non-metallic decorative part 130 can also be a sheet-like part, and its shape is consistent with the shape of the lower surface of the pedal body 110. The non-metallic decorative part 130 is arranged around the lower surface of the pedal body 110, as long as a part of it can cover the lower edge of the pedal body 110. In addition, as Figure 4 As shown, the non-metallic decorative member 130 has a downwardly extending anti-collision surface on one side near the lower edge of the pedal body 110. This prevents a passenger from colliding with the anti-collision surface when the passenger touches the lower edge of the non-metallic decorative member 130. This increases the collision area and, due to the non-metallic material of the non-metallic decorative member 130, reduces the severity of injury to the passenger. For example, the non-metallic decorative member 130 is a plastic structure, which can be made of materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, a skeleton is provided on the lower surface of the pedal body 110 so that the skeleton 120 and the pedal body 110 jointly resist the force exerted on the vehicle welcome pedal 100 by passengers during boarding and alighting of the vehicle, thereby improving the structural strength and support strength of the vehicle welcome pedal 100 and reducing the risk of deformation of the vehicle welcome pedal 100 during stepping on by passengers. On this basis, by providing the pedal body 110 in the vehicle welcome pedal 100 as a sheet metal structure, the weight of the pedal body 110 is reduced compared to cast steel structure and cast iron structure, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle welcome pedal 100. In addition, the decorative part is provided as a non-metallic decorative part 130, which reduces the weight of the decorative part compared to metal decorative parts, thereby further reducing the weight of the vehicle welcome pedal 100, thereby reducing the deformation amount and deformation risk of the connecting part 210 used for connecting the vehicle welcome pedal 100 and the vehicle body due to the heavy weight of the vehicle welcome pedal 100.

[0065] And combined Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the pedal body 110 has a plurality of weight-reducing holes 111 arranged at intervals to reduce the weight of the pedal body 110, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle welcome pedal 100. Furthermore, the provision of the weight-reducing holes 111 on the pedal body 110 also serves to drain water and dust, preventing rainwater or dust from passengers' shoes from accumulating on the pedal body 110, thereby ensuring that the vehicle welcome pedal 100 maintains its aesthetic appearance at all times.

[0066] For example, Figure 5As shown, the edge of the weight-reducing hole 111 has a downward flange structure 1111, which has a drainage effect on water and dust accumulated on the pedal body 110, so that water and dust can be discharged more smoothly from the weight-reducing hole 111. In another exemplary embodiment, the shape of the weight-reducing hole 111 can be triangular, square, polygonal, etc.

[0067] The number of the weight-reducing holes 111 provided on the pedal body 110 is two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen, etc., and can be set according to the length of the pedal body 110 and the required strength.

[0068] In addition, the upper surface of the pedal body 110 has a plurality of reinforcing protrusions 112, and the lower surface of the pedal body 110 has a depression extending toward one side of the upper surface of the pedal body 110 at a position corresponding to each reinforcing protrusion 112, so that the pedal body 110 is not a horizontal plate-like member. The provision of the reinforcing protrusions 112 increases the structural strength of the pedal body 110, thereby improving the supporting strength of the vehicle welcome pedal 100.

[0069] For example, the number of reinforcement protrusions 112 can be two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen, etc., and can be set according to the length and required strength of the pedal body 110. In another example, the weight-reducing holes 111 and the reinforcement protrusions 112 are arranged obliquely in the depth direction of the pedal body 110, that is, in the direction from the outside of the vehicle to the inside of the cabin. The oblique reinforcement protrusions 112 can disperse the applied force in the horizontal direction and depth direction of the pedal body 110, thereby improving the supporting strength of the vehicle welcome pedal 100. The oblique arrangement of the weight-reducing holes 111 makes the arrangement structure of the weight-reducing holes 111 and the reinforcement protrusions 112 more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0070] The arrangement of the weight-reducing hole 111 and the reinforcing protrusion 112 on the pedal body 110 is, in some specific embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, along the length direction of the pedal body 110, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 111 and a plurality of reinforcing protrusions 112 are alternately arranged in sequence, which reduces the weight of the pedal body 110 while enhancing the supporting strength of the pedal body 110, and at the same time improves the aesthetics and anti-slip performance of the vehicle welcome pedal 100.

[0071] In addition, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, along the length direction of the pedal body 110, an upwardly extending connecting plate 113 is provided on one side edge of the pedal body 110 close to the vehicle 10, and the surface of the connecting plate 113 is in contact with the surface of the vehicle 10. It should be noted that the surface of the connecting plate 113 is arranged vertically to fill the vertical gap between the vehicle welcome pedal 100 and the vehicle 10. On the one hand, this improves the aesthetics of the connection between the vehicle welcome pedal 100 and the vehicle 10, and on the other hand, it prevents passengers from excessively extending into the depth direction of the pedal body 110 when stepping on the vehicle welcome pedal 100, resulting in the passenger's foot being stuck in the gap between the welcome pedal and the vehicle 10 and getting injured, thereby reducing the safety risks posed by the welcome pedal.

[0072] And as Figure 6 As shown, along the length direction of the pedal body 110, the lower surface of the pedal body 110 has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 1121 arranged at intervals and connected to the connecting plate 113. The reinforcing ribs 1121 are configured to strengthen the connection strength between the connecting plate 113 and the pedal body 110 to prevent the connecting plate 113 from being disconnected from the pedal body 110 due to long-term touch by the passenger.

[0073] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcing rib 1121 is a plate-shaped reinforcing rib 1121, which is arranged on the side of the reinforcing protrusion 112 close to the vehicle 10. The reinforcing rib 1121 can be bent so that the plate surface of the reinforcing rib 1121 is connected to the plate surface of the connecting plate 113, and the two are fixedly connected. The fixed connection method includes but is not limited to welding, bolt and nut connection, bonding, snap connection and the like.

[0074] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, the frame 120 of the vehicle welcome tread 100 includes a first sub-frame 121 and multiple second sub-frames 122. The first sub-frame 121 is arranged to form a long, ring-shaped structure. Multiple second sub-frames 122 are spaced apart along the length of the tread body 110, with the ends of the second sub-frames 122 connected to the ends of the ring structure formed by the first sub-frame 121. The length of the first sub-frame 121 aligns with the length of the tread body 110, providing force support for the tread body 110. The second sub-frames 122 in the frame 120 enhance the structural strength of the first sub-frame 121. The combined arrangement of the first and second sub-frames 121, 122, ensures that when a passenger steps on the tread body 110, the force acting on the frame 120 is distributed between the first and second sub-frames 121, 122, thereby distributing the force and preventing force concentration, thereby increasing the support strength of the frame 120.

[0075] In some embodiments, combined Figure 4and Figure 8 As shown, along the extension direction of the first sub-frame 121 and the second sub-frame 122, the cross-sectional shape of the first sub-frame 121 and the second sub-frame 122 is a hollow square, which ensures the structural strength of the vehicle welcome pedal while reducing the weight of the frame 120. Of course, the cross-sectional shape of the first sub-frame 121 and the second sub-frame 122 can also be a hollow triangle, circle, polygon, etc., but the square first sub-frame 121 and the second sub-frame 122 can be composed of a combination of hollow square tubes, and the contact surface with the lower surface of the pedal body 110 is flat, which is more convenient for connecting the frame 120 to the pedal body 110. Exemplarily, the first sub-frame 121 and the second sub-frame 122 are made of aluminum alloy structure, which has the effects of light weight, high strength and strong corrosion resistance.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first sub-skeleton 121 and the plurality of second sub-skeletons in the skeleton 120 can be prepared by extrusion molding, cold bending molding, cold drawing molding, welding molding, etc.

[0077] Specifically, return Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first sub-frame 121 is bonded to the lower surface of the pedal body 110. A plurality of first welds 1211 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first sub-frame 121. Second welds 1101 are located on the lower surface of the pedal body 110 at positions corresponding to the first welds 1211. The first welds 1211 and the second welds 1101 are laser welded together. It should be noted that because the pedal body 110 is provided with reinforcing protrusions 112, both the upper and lower surfaces of the pedal body 110 exhibit regular irregularities. Therefore, the portion of the pedal body 110 that can contact and connect with the lower surface of the pedal body 110 is the portion of the pedal body 110 excluding the reinforcing protrusions 112. This portion is bonded to the first sub-frame 121 and has the second welds 1101. Similarly, the first sub-frame 121 has first welds 1211 at corresponding positions.

[0078] For example, continue as Figure 4As shown, the end surface of the first sub-frame 121 facing the pedal body 110 is bonded to the lower surface of the pedal body 110, and the first welding portion 1211 is located at the edge contour of the end surface of the first sub-frame 121 facing the pedal body 110. During the assembly of the frame 120 of the vehicle welcome pedal 100 and the pedal body 110, the end surface of the first sub-frame 121 facing the pedal body 110 is first bonded to the lower surface of the pedal body 110, thereby pre-fixing the frame 120 to the lower surface of the pedal body 110 and improving the relative positioning accuracy between the two. The first welding portion 1211 and the second welding portion 1101 are then laser welded to improve the connection reliability between the frame 120 and the pedal body 110. The bonding method can be a gluing method. For example, the type of glue can be epoxy resin glue, polyurethane glue, structural acrylic glue, etc. The first sub-frame 121 and the pedal body 110 are fixedly connected by bonding and laser welding, which improves the connection strength and reliability between the frame 120 and the pedal body 110. The bonding makes the contact between the frame 120 and the pedal body 110 closer, increases the contact area between the frame 120 and the pedal body 110, and makes the force between the pedal body 110 and the frame 120 not only concentrated at the laser welding weld, but also makes the force between the two more evenly dispersed, thereby improving the structural strength and support strength of the vehicle welcome pedal 100.

[0079] In addition, the number of second sub-skeletons 122 in the skeleton 120 can be two, four, six, etc. The vehicle welcome pedal 100 is connected to the connecting member 210 through the second sub-skeleton 122 so that the other end of the connecting member 210 can be fixed to the bottom of the vehicle 10. Therefore, the number of second sub-skeletons 122 is consistent with the number of connecting members 210.

[0080] Combine Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the non-metallic decorative member 130 is located below the pedal body 110 and is detachably connected to the frame 120. Along the thickness of the pedal body 110, the projection of the non-metallic decorative member 130 covers the lower edge of the pedal body 110, thereby shielding the lower edge of the pedal body 110 away from the edge of the vehicle 10. The non-metallic material of the non-metallic decorative member 130 provides a collision barrier, preventing passengers from being injured by collision with the lower edge of the pedal body 110 during boarding and exiting the vehicle. The detachable connection between the non-metallic decorative member 130 and the pedal body 110 facilitates installation of the non-metallic decorative member 130 on the vehicle welcome pedal 100, as well as cleaning and replacement of the non-metallic decorative member 130.

[0081] For example, if the non-metallic decorative part 130 is a strip-shaped part, the non-metallic decorative part 130 can be composed of multiple sections, so as to improve the matching accuracy between the non-metallic decorative part 130 and the skeleton 120, and each section of the non-metallic decorative part 130 can be cleaned and replaced separately without removing all the non-metallic decorative parts 130 from the skeleton 120.

[0082] Of course, the non-metallic decorative part 130 can also be located below the lower edge of the pedal body 110 and be detachably connected to the pedal body 110. Along the thickness direction of the pedal body 110, the projection of the non-metallic decorative part 130 covers the lower edge of the pedal body 110 and blocks the skeleton 120 that is exposed on the side of the pedal body 110 away from the vehicle body 200. The detachable connection method between the non-metallic decorative part 130 and the pedal body 110 includes but is not limited to bolt and screw hole connection, snap connection, hole-column connection, etc.

[0083] In some embodiments, the non-metallic decorative member 130 has a first fixing portion 131, and the frame 120 has a second fixing portion 123, that is, the first sub-frame 121 has the second fixing portion 123. The non-metallic decorative member 130 is fixed to the frame 120 via the first fixing portion 131 and the second fixing portion 123 to prevent the non-metallic decorative member 130 from falling off the frame 120 due to vibration of the vehicle 10. Exemplarily, the first fixing portion 131 and the second fixing portion 123 are both screw hole structures, and the first fixing portion 131 and the second fixing portion 123 are connected by a bolt column, so that the non-metallic decorative member 130 is fixed to the frame 120 via the first fixing portion 131 and the second fixing portion 123. The number of screw holes in the first fixing part 131 and the second fixing part 123 can be two, three, four, six, eight, ten, fifteen, etc., and can be set at fixed intervals along the extension direction of the non-metallic decorative part 130. When the non-metallic decorative part 130 is composed of multiple sections, screw holes must be set at both ends of each section of the non-metallic decorative part 130 to prevent the two ends of the non-metallic decorative part 130 from warping relative to the frame 120.

[0084] In other embodiments, the detachable connection method between the non-metallic decorative part 130 and the skeleton 120 can also be a snap-on slot connection, a pin-pin hole connection, etc. For example, when the detachable connection method between the non-metallic decorative part 130 and the skeleton 120 is a snap-on connection, the first fixing part is one of the snap and the slot, and the second fixing part is the other of the snap and the slot; when the detachable connection method between the non-metallic decorative part 130 and the skeleton 120 is a pin-pin hole connection, the first fixing part is one of the pin and the pin hole, and the second fixing part is the other of the pin and the pin hole.

[0085] The non-metallic decorative part 130 also has a first positioning portion, and the skeleton 120 has a second positioning portion, that is, the first sub-skeleton 121 has a second positioning portion. When the non-metallic decorative part 130 is assembled under the skeleton 120, the non-metallic decorative part 130 is first pre-installed under the skeleton 120 through the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion, so that the two can be fixed through the first fixing portion 131 and the second fixing portion 123.

[0086] Exemplarily, the first positioning portion is one of a positioning column and a positioning hole, the second positioning portion is the other of a positioning column and a positioning hole, and the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion are connected to the hole column.
