Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automotive pedal-related structures, and in particular to a passenger vehicle pedal structure. Background Technology

[0002] To improve off-road capability, off-road vehicles and motorhomes typically have relatively high chassis. However, this can make getting in and out of the vehicle extremely difficult, increasing the risk of accidents and negatively impacting the overall driving experience. Therefore, vehicles with high chassis generally require a step for getting in and out.

[0003] Traditional running boards can be divided into fixed running boards and electric running boards. Fixed running boards have the advantages of simple structure, lower cost, and lower failure rate; however, they affect ground clearance and disrupt the overall side profile of the vehicle. Electric running boards, on the other hand, can be concealed within the side panel, making their structure invisible and beneficial to the side profile; however, they require electric assistance, resulting in higher cost and a higher failure rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a passenger vehicle step structure to alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art that cannot both hide and optimize the side profile of the vehicle body when the door is closed, and avoid the high failure rate caused by the complex structure of electric step.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a passenger vehicle boarding step structure, including a door mechanism and a step mechanism, wherein a first end of the door mechanism is used for rotatable connection to the vehicle body; The first end of the pedal mechanism is rotatably connected to the door mechanism and the vehicle body, and the second end of the pedal mechanism is rotatably connected to the vehicle body. The second end of the door mechanism is detachably connected to the vehicle body. When the second end of the door mechanism is separated, it drives the pedal mechanism to move relative to the vehicle body so that the main body of the pedal mechanism extends out of the vehicle body.

[0006] Furthermore, the pedal mechanism includes a pedal body, a first connecting component, and a second connecting component. A first end of the pedal body is rotatably connected to the vehicle body via the first connecting component, and a second end of the pedal body is rotatably connected to the vehicle body via the second connecting component. The door mechanism is rotatably connected to the first end of the pedal body, and the door mechanism is used to drive the pedal body to move until the pedal body separates from the vehicle body.

[0007] Furthermore, the first connecting assembly includes a first rotating member, a first connecting member, and a second rotating member, wherein the first rotating member is connected to a first end of the pedal body; The second rotating component is connected to the vehicle body, and the first connecting component connects the second rotating component to the first rotating component.

[0008] Furthermore, the second connecting assembly includes a third rotating member, a second connecting member, and a fourth rotating member, wherein the third rotating member is rotatably connected to the second end of the pedal body; The fourth rotating component is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the second connecting component connects the fourth rotating component to the third rotating component.

[0009] Furthermore, the first connecting component and the second connecting component have the same length, and the connecting line between the first rotating component and the third rotating component is distributed along the first direction, so that the pedal body always remains distributed along the first direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the door mechanism includes a door body, a sliding connection assembly, and a rotating shaft. The first end of the door body is rotatably connected to the vehicle body via the rotating shaft, and the door body is rotatably connected to the first end of the pedal body via the sliding connection assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding connection assembly includes a slide rail and a connecting module. The slide rail is located at the first end of the door body and is distributed along the extending direction of the door body. One end of the connecting module is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the other end of the connecting module is rotatably connected to the first end of the pedal body.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting module includes a slider, a connecting rod, and a fifth rotating member. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, and the slider is connected to the fifth rotating member through the connecting rod. The fifth rotating component is connected to the pedal body.

[0013] Furthermore, both the second rotating member and the fourth rotating member are located at the bottom of the vehicle body, so that the pedal body is located below the vehicle body when the door mechanism is closed.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the pedal body is provided with a folding bracket, which is used to support it on the ground.

[0015] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a passenger vehicle step structure, including a door mechanism and a step mechanism. A first end of the door mechanism is rotatably connected to the vehicle body. A first end of the step mechanism is rotatably connected to both the door mechanism and the vehicle body, and a second end of the step mechanism is rotatably connected to the vehicle body. The second end of the door mechanism is detachably connected to the vehicle body. When the second end of the door mechanism is separated, it drives the step mechanism to move relative to the vehicle body so that the main body of the step mechanism extends out of the vehicle body.

[0016] In this invention, the first end of the door mechanism is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, which is existing technology, to allow the door mechanism to open in a fan-shaped direction. The door mechanism is rotatably connected to the first end of the pedal mechanism, and the second end of the first end of the pedal mechanism is rotatably connected to the vehicle body. In use, opening the door mechanism causes the pedal mechanism to move out from under the vehicle body, so that the pedal mechanism appears simultaneously with the door opening, making it convenient for the user to step onto the pedal mechanism to get into the vehicle. When the user closes the door mechanism, the door mechanism drives the pedal mechanism to move, so that the pedal mechanism retracts under the vehicle body at the same time as the door mechanism closes.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the passenger vehicle boarding step structure provided by the present invention rotatably connects the step mechanism to the vehicle body and rotatably connects the step mechanism to the door mechanism, so as to realize that the step mechanism is moved by opening or closing the door mechanism, so as to extend the step mechanism when the door is opened, so that the user can step on the step mechanism to get into the vehicle. Correspondingly, when the user closes the door, the step mechanism can be retracted under the vehicle body by closing the door mechanism, so as to achieve the effect of hiding the step mechanism.

[0018] In summary, this invention at least alleviates the technical problems existing in the prior art that cannot simultaneously satisfy the requirement of hiding and optimizing the side profile of the vehicle body when the door is closed, while also avoiding the high failure rate caused by the complex structure of the electric pedal.
