Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a foot pedal device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Among the related technologies, some vehicles have a certain ability to travel in water, which can meet the needs of specific usage scenarios.

[0003] However, when vehicles are driving in actual aquatic environments, the force conditions experienced by vehicles in water are different from those experienced on land due to factors such as the direction of water flow and the impact of waves. This makes it difficult to control the vehicle's posture in water, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a foot pedal device and a vehicle to solve or improve the problem of uncontrollable vehicle posture and potential safety hazards when driving in water.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a foot pedal device for being disposed on the outside of a vehicle body. The foot pedal device includes a first foot pedal body, a second foot pedal body, and a first telescopic drive member. The first foot pedal body has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other along a first direction, the first surface being the foot pedal surface. The second foot pedal body is stacked along the first direction on the side of the first foot pedal body closest to the second surface. The first telescopic drive member is disposed on the vehicle body and is convexly connected to the first foot pedal body, for driving the first foot pedal body to move along a second direction, so that the first foot pedal body and the second foot pedal body switch between a stacked state and a relatively unfolded state.

[0006] Beneficial Effects: This application configures the foot pedal device as a first foot pedal body and a second foot pedal body, which can be stacked. The first foot pedal body can be deployed relative to the second foot pedal body via a first telescopic drive member. When the vehicle is traveling in water, the relative positions of the first and second foot pedal bodies can be adjusted. Through the cooperation of the first and second foot pedal bodies, the direction of water flow can be guided, and the buoyancy of the vehicle body in the water can be adjusted, thereby directly and actively regulating the force state of the vehicle in the water. This facilitates the control of the vehicle's attitude while traveling in water and reduces the risk of yaw or capsizing. Furthermore, by configuring the foot pedal device as a split structure, it not only serves as a foot pedal for the user but also functions as a hydrofoil structure for use by the vehicle in water, thus avoiding the space occupied by an additional hydrofoil structure and making the overall structure compact.

[0007] In one embodiment, a second telescopic drive member is further included. The second telescopic drive member is disposed on the vehicle body and is throttle-connected to the second pedal body to drive the second pedal body to move so that the first pedal body and the second pedal body move synchronously in a stacked state.

[0008] Beneficial effects: By adding a second telescopic drive component connected to the second pedal body, the first and second pedal bodies can move synchronously in a stacked state. When the pedal device is unfolded and stacked relative to the vehicle body, the cooperation between the first and second pedal bodies enhances the overall rigidity of the pedal device, making it easier for the user to step on. Furthermore, the cooperation between the first and second pedal bodies provides buoyancy to the vehicle. Simultaneously, the first and second telescopic drive components can also drive the first and second pedal bodies to different positions, allowing them to meet various operational needs.

[0009] In one optional embodiment, multiple first pedal bodies and multiple second pedal bodies are arranged along a third direction, and the multiple first pedal bodies and multiple second pedal bodies correspond one-to-one along the first direction to form multiple pairs of pedal bodies in a stacked state in the first direction.

[0010] Beneficial effects: By arranging multiple first and second pedal bodies along a third direction, the space along this direction of the pedal system can be fully utilized. Increasing the number of first and second pedal bodies increases their total effective area, allowing the pedal system on one side of the vehicle to generate a greater total force and improving its control over the vehicle's attitude. Furthermore, multiple first and second pedal bodies can be driven individually, allowing their combination to apply a more balanced force to the vehicle, enhancing vehicle control in water and facilitating driver maneuverability during water travel.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the system further includes a first support beam and a second support beam extending along the third direction, the first support beam and the second support beam being spaced apart along the second direction, the first foot pedal body and the second foot pedal body being located between the first support beam and the second support beam, and the first foot pedal body being connected to the first support beam and the second foot pedal body being connected to the second support beam; the first telescopic drive member being connected to the first support beam and the second telescopic drive member being connected to the second support beam.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By setting a first support beam and a second support beam, with the first and second support beams extending along a third direction, multiple first pedal bodies can be installed on the first support beam. The first support beam supports these multiple first pedal bodies, and the first telescopic drive component is connected to the first support beam. Under the action of the first support beam, the first telescopic drive component can drive the multiple first pedal bodies to move along a second direction, thereby reducing the number of first telescopic drive components used and making the overall structure simpler and more compact. Similarly, by using a second support beam to support multiple second pedal bodies, and with the second telescopic drive component connected to the second support beam, the second telescopic drive component can drive the multiple second pedal bodies to move along a second direction, thereby reducing the number of second telescopic drive components used and making the overall structure simpler and more compact.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the first support beam is provided with a plurality of first rotary drive members, each of the first rotary drive members being connected to each of the first pedal bodies to drive the first pedal bodies to rotate about a first axis, wherein the first support beam has a first center line extending along the third direction, and the first axis intersects the first center line; the second support beam is provided with a plurality of second rotary drive members, each of the second rotary drive members being connected to each of the second pedal bodies to drive the second pedal bodies to rotate about a second axis, wherein the second support beam has a second center line extending along the third direction, and the second axis intersects the second center line.

[0014] Beneficial effects: By setting a first rotary drive member on the first support beam, each first foot pedal body can rotate independently relative to the first support beam under the action of the corresponding first rotary drive member. By setting a second rotary drive member on the second support beam, each second foot pedal body can rotate independently relative to the second support beam under the action of the corresponding second rotary drive member. This allows the first and second foot pedal bodies to respond quickly and automatically according to the water flow environment during vehicle operation, meeting the needs of different working conditions. Furthermore, the first rotary drive member provides support for the first foot pedal body, and the second rotary drive member provides support for the second foot pedal body, ensuring that both the first and second foot pedal bodies can still rotate and maintain a preset angle even when subjected to large water flow impacts. This enhances the control effect of the vehicle's posture while driving in water, making it easier for the driver to operate the vehicle during water travel.

[0015] In one alternative embodiment, the first support beam has a first receiving cavity, and the first rotary drive member is disposed within the first receiving cavity; and / or, the second support beam has a second receiving cavity, and the second rotary drive member is disposed within the second receiving cavity.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By installing the first rotary drive component in the first receiving cavity of the first support beam and the second rotary drive component in the second receiving cavity of the second support beam, installation space is provided for both components, preventing direct contact between them and the external environment. This ensures normal operation of both components when the vehicle is in water. Furthermore, the structural space of the first and second support beams is fully utilized, avoiding the need for external installation of the rotary drive components, which would occupy additional external space. This results in a compact overall structure and aesthetically pleasing design of the pedal system, while also helping to reduce vehicle drag.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the first foot pedal body has a third surface, the second support beam has a third beam side surface, the third surface and the third beam side surface are opposite each other, and when the first surface of the first foot pedal body is subjected to a stepping force, the third surface and the third beam side surface abut against each other; and / or, the second foot pedal body has a fourth surface, the first support beam has a first beam side surface, the fourth surface and the first beam side surface are opposite each other, and when the first surface of the first foot pedal body is subjected to a stepping force, the fourth surface and the first beam side surface abut against each other.

[0018] Beneficial effects: By aligning the third surface of the first pedal body with the third side of the second support beam, and thus offsetting each other when the first surface of the first pedal body is subjected to force, and by aligning the fourth surface of the second pedal body with the first side of the first support beam, and thus offsetting each other when the first surface of the first pedal body is subjected to force, when the user steps on the first surface of the first pedal body, the stepping force can be transmitted through the first pedal body to the first and second support beams. The cooperation between the first and second support beams enhances the overall rigidity of the pedal device in its deployed state, reduces the risk of deformation caused by stepping, and extends the service life of the pedal device.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the second pedal body has a fifth surface facing the first pedal body along the first direction, and the fifth surface is configured as an arcuate surface recessed towards the inner side of the second pedal body.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The fifth surface of the second pedal body facing the first pedal body is set as an arc surface. When the first pedal body and the second pedal body are separated along the second direction, the water flowing through the first pedal body then flows through the arc surface of the second pedal body. Under the action of the arc surface, the water flow can generate a downward force on the entire pedal device, thereby providing a downward force for the vehicle. When the water flow velocity is high, it can effectively prevent the vehicle from being overturned by the water flow.

[0021] In one optional embodiment, a clearance groove is provided on the second surface of the first pedal body; when the first pedal body and the second pedal body are stacked, the corner of the fifth surface of the second pedal body is at least partially accommodated in the clearance groove.

[0022] Beneficial effects: By setting a clearance groove on the second surface of the first pedal body, when the first pedal body and the second pedal body are stacked, the space occupied by the first pedal body and the second pedal body in the first direction can be reduced, making the overall structure of the pedal device compact.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the first support beam has opposing first beam side and second beam side, the first beam side facing the second support beam, and the second beam side protruding in a direction away from the second beam side; the second beam side includes a first guide section and a second guide section, the first guide section and the second guide section being connected at their closest ends and arranged at an angle.

[0024] Beneficial effects: By setting the side of the second beam of the first support beam as an outwardly convex curved structure, when the first foot pedal body and the second foot pedal body are stacked and partially unfolded relative to the vehicle body, water can flow through the first guide section and the second guide section. Under the action of the first guide section and the second guide section, the water can generate an upward force on the entire foot pedal device, thereby providing an upward force on the vehicle, improving the buoyancy of the vehicle in the water, and facilitating the vehicle to travel in the water.

[0025] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and the aforementioned foot pedal device, wherein the first foot pedal body is connected to the vehicle body via the first telescopic drive member.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The vehicle includes the aforementioned foot pedal device. By configuring the foot pedal device as a first foot pedal body and a second foot pedal body, which can be stacked, and by allowing the first foot pedal body to unfold relative to the second foot pedal body via a first telescopic drive member, the relative positions of the first and second foot pedal bodies can be adjusted when the vehicle is traveling in water. Through the cooperation of the first and second foot pedal bodies, the direction of water flow can be guided, and the buoyancy of the vehicle body in the water can be adjusted. This directly and actively regulates the force state of the vehicle in the water, facilitating the control of the vehicle's attitude while traveling in water and reducing the risk of yaw or capsizing. Furthermore, by designing the foot pedal device as a split structure, it not only serves as a foot pedal for the user but also functions as a hydrofoil structure for use by the vehicle in water, thus avoiding the space occupied by an additional hydrofoil structure and making the overall structure compact.

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 This describes an embodiment of the present application.

[0046] According to an embodiment of this application, in a first aspect, this application provides a foot pedal device for being disposed on the outer side of a vehicle body 100. Typically, the vehicle body 100 has two opposite sides; therefore, foot pedal devices can be disposed on opposite sides of the vehicle body 100 to allow the foot pedal devices on both sides of the vehicle body 100 to work together. The vehicle can be an amphibious vehicle, such as an off-road vehicle capable of traveling on land and in water, or a commercial vehicle or special vehicle of the same type, or a watercraft such as a motorboat. The following description uses an amphibious vehicle as an example. The foot pedal device is typically disposed at the lower part of the left and right side doors of the vehicle body 100 or at the sill beam position, specifically below the lower trim panels of the front and rear doors.

[0047] The foot pedal device includes a first foot pedal body 1, a second foot pedal body 2, and a first telescopic drive member 3. The first foot pedal body 1 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 opposite to each other along a first direction Z. The first surface 11 is the foot surface. Normally, the first surface 11 of the first foot pedal body 1 is set upward along the height direction of the vehicle, so that the first surface 11 of the first foot pedal body 1 corresponds to the door for the user to step on when getting on and off the vehicle. The second surface 12 is set opposite to the first surface 11 along the first direction Z and is set downward along the height direction of the vehicle, so that the second surface 12 corresponds to the ground. The second foot pedal body 2 is stacked along the first direction Z on the side of the first foot pedal body 1 closest to the second surface 12. The first telescopic drive member 3 is used to be mounted on the vehicle body 100 and is drively connected to the first foot pedal body 1. It is used to drive the first foot pedal body 1 to move along a second direction X, so that the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 can switch between a stacked state and a relatively unfolded state.

[0048] First, it should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first direction Z, the second direction X, and the third direction Y intersect each other. In this embodiment, the first direction Z is the thickness direction of the pedal device, which can also be understood as the height direction of the vehicle; the second direction X is the width direction of the pedal device, which can also be understood as the width direction of the vehicle; and the third direction Y is the length direction of the pedal device, which can also be understood as the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Of course, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific directions referred to by the first direction Z, the second direction X, and the third direction Y according to actual needs.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the first telescopic drive member 3 is used to be installed on the vehicle body 100. The telescopic end of the first telescopic drive member 3 is connected to the first foot pedal body 1. Through the telescopic movement of the first telescopic drive member 3, the first foot pedal body 1 can be moved relative to the second foot pedal body 2 and the vehicle body 100, thereby switching the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 from the stacked state to the relatively unfolded state. Of course, the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 can also be switched from the relatively unfolded state to the stacked state. In this way, the foot pedal device is configured as a first foot pedal body 1 and a second foot pedal body 2, which can be stacked. The first foot pedal body 1 can be deployed relative to the second foot pedal body 2 via a first telescopic drive member 3. When the vehicle is traveling in water, the relative positions of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 can be adjusted. Through the cooperation of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2, the direction of water flow can be guided, and the buoyancy of the vehicle body 100 in the water can be adjusted, thereby directly and actively adjusting the force state of the vehicle in the water. This facilitates the control of the vehicle's attitude while traveling in water and reduces the risk of yaw or capsizing when the vehicle is traveling in water. Furthermore, the foot pedal device is configured as a split structure, so that the foot pedal device not only has the function of being stepped on by the user, but can also be used as a hydrofoil structure for the vehicle to use in water, thereby avoiding the space occupied by an additional hydrofoil structure and making the overall structure compact.

[0050] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, a protrusion 9 is provided on the first surface 11 of the first pedal body 1. The protrusion 9 can be an anti-slip texture or a rubber pad. The protrusion 9 can increase the friction of the first surface 11 of the first pedal body 1 and improve the safety of the first pedal body 1 in use.

[0051] In one embodiment, in order to enable the second pedal body 2 to move relative to the vehicle body 100 along the second direction X, the pedal device further includes a second telescopic drive member 4. The second telescopic drive member 4 is disposed on the vehicle body 100 and is connected to the second pedal body 2 for driving the second pedal body 2 to move so that the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 move synchronously in a stacked state.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the second telescopic drive member 4 is used to be installed on the vehicle body 100. The telescopic end of the second telescopic drive member 4 is connected to the second foot pedal body 2 through transmission. Through the telescopic movement of the second telescopic drive member 4, the second foot pedal body 2 can be driven to move relative to the vehicle body 100. The first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 can cooperate to enable the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 to move synchronously in the stacked state, or under the drive of the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4, the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 can be driven to move to different positions respectively.

[0053] Specifically, the pedal device can be an electric pedal. When not in use, the pedal device is in a retracted state. At this time, the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 are in a retracted state, and the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 are stacked to reduce the exposure of the pedal device and maintain the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Figure 2 As shown, when the foot pedal device is used by the user, the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 can be fully extended to drive the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 to move to the position to be stepped on. The first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 are still in a stacked state at the position to be stepped on, so that the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 are stacked together to improve the overall strength of the foot pedal device and make it easier for the user to step on it.

[0054] When a vehicle is traveling in water, in order for the pedal system to provide buoyancy to the vehicle, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 can be partially deployed to move the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 to a position providing buoyancy. The first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 remain stacked in the buoyancy-providing position, allowing them to work together to provide buoyancy for the vehicle. Figure 5As shown, when a vehicle is traveling in water and the water flow velocity is high, in order for the pedal device to provide downforce to the vehicle and prevent it from overturning, the first telescopic drive member 3 can be fully deployed and the second telescopic drive member 4 can be partially deployed to move the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 to the position of providing downforce. At this position, the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 switch from a stacked state to a relatively deployed state. The water flowing through the first pedal body 1 can then flow through the second pedal body 2, thereby providing a downward force to the vehicle. When the water flow velocity is high, it can effectively prevent the vehicle from being overturned by the water flow.

[0055] This configuration, through the cooperation of the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4, enables the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 to move synchronously in a stacked state. When the foot pedal device is unfolded and stacked relative to the vehicle body 100, the cooperation of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 enhances the overall rigidity of the foot pedal device, making it easier for the user to step on it. Furthermore, the cooperation of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 provides buoyancy to the vehicle. Simultaneously, the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 can also drive the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 to different positions, thus allowing the cooperation of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 to meet the needs of different working conditions.

[0056] In one embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy of vehicle posture control, multiple first pedal bodies 1 and multiple second pedal bodies 2 are provided along a third direction Y. The multiple first pedal bodies 1 and multiple second pedal bodies 2 correspond one-to-one along a first direction Z to form multiple pairs of pedal bodies in a stacked state in the first direction Z.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, multiple first pedal bodies 1 are arranged along the third direction Y of the pedal device, i.e., the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, and multiple second pedal bodies 2 are arranged along the third direction Y of the pedal device, i.e., the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. This fully utilizes the space of the pedal device along the third direction Y, increasing the total effective area of ​​the first pedal bodies 1 and the second pedal bodies 2. This allows the pedal device located on one side of the vehicle to generate a greater total force, improving the pedal device's control over the vehicle's attitude. Furthermore, the multiple first pedal bodies 1 and multiple second pedal bodies 2 can be driven individually, allowing the combination of the multiple first pedal bodies 1 and multiple second pedal bodies 2 to apply a more balanced force to the vehicle, enhancing the control effect of the vehicle's attitude while driving in water, and facilitating the driver's operation of the vehicle while driving in water.

[0058] Specifically, each first pedal body 1 and each second pedal body 2 has a corresponding drive device. Each first pedal body 1 and each second pedal body 2 can be independently driven by the drive device to adjust its own rotation angle. By independently controlling multiple first pedal bodies 1 and multiple second pedal bodies 2, multiple first pedal bodies 1 and multiple second pedal bodies 2 can be made to act synchronously or individually, so that the combination of multiple first pedal bodies 1 and multiple second pedal bodies 2 can apply a more balanced force to the vehicle, meeting different usage conditions, for example, Figure 6 As shown, when the vehicle experiences uneven weight distribution on the front or rear sides, and if the vehicle is wading through deep water, it may flip over in the water. In this case, the positions of multiple first foot pedal bodies 1 and multiple second foot pedal bodies 2 can be adjusted to straighten the vehicle's front and rear posture, enhancing the control effect of the vehicle's posture while driving in water and making it easier for the driver to operate the vehicle while driving in water.

[0059] Optionally, two adjacent first pedal bodies 1 are spaced apart along a third direction Y, and two adjacent second pedal bodies 2 are spaced apart along a third direction Y. In this way, the spaced arrangement can avoid interference between adjacent first pedal bodies 1 and adjacent second pedal bodies 2, ensuring that each first pedal body 1 and each second pedal body 2 can work independently and effectively.

[0060] In one embodiment, the system further includes a first support beam 5 and a second support beam 6 extending along a third direction Y. The first support beam 5 and the second support beam 6 are spaced apart along a second direction X. A first foot pedal body 1 and a second foot pedal body 2 are located between the first support beam 5 and the second support beam 6. The first foot pedal body 1 is connected to the first support beam 5, and the second foot pedal body 2 is connected to the second support beam 6. A first telescopic drive member 3 is connected to the first support beam 5, and a second telescopic drive member 4 is connected to the second support beam 6.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, connecting frames 10 are fixed to both ends of the first support beam 5 along the third direction Y, and the upper surface of the connecting frame 10 along the first direction Z can also be provided with protrusions 9 to improve the friction of the connecting frame 10. The first support beam 5 and the second support beam 6 are located between the two connecting frames 10 along the third direction Y. Two first telescopic drive members 3 are provided along the third direction Y, and the two first telescopic drive members 3 are respectively connected to the two connecting frames 10. In addition, two second telescopic drive members 4 can also be provided along the third direction Y, and the two second telescopic drive members 4 are respectively connected to the second support beam 6. In this way, on the one hand, the first support beam 5 can be connected to the first telescopic drive members 3 through the connecting frames 10 to ensure that the movement of the first support beam 5 along the second direction X is not disturbed by the second support beam 6. On the other hand, by increasing the number of first telescopic drive members 3 and second telescopic drive members 4, the support strength of the first support beam 5 and the second support beam 6 can be improved.

[0062] Specifically, both the first support beam 5 and the second support beam 6 are long, rigid members extending along a third direction Y, and are spaced apart and approximately parallel along a second direction X. Multiple first foot pedal bodies 1 are mounted on the first support beam 5, which provides a mounting base for the multiple first foot pedal bodies 1. The first telescopic drive component 3 is connected to the first support beam 5, allowing it to drive the multiple first foot pedal bodies 1 to move synchronously along the second direction X under the action of the first support beam 5. This reduces the number of first telescopic drive components 3 used, making the overall structure simple and compact. Similarly, multiple second foot pedal bodies 2 are mounted on the second support beam 6, which provides a mounting base for the multiple second foot pedal bodies 2. The second telescopic drive component 4 is connected to the second support beam 6, allowing it to drive the multiple second foot pedal bodies 2 to move synchronously along the second direction X under the action of the second support beam 6. This reduces the number of second telescopic drive components 4 used, making the overall structure simple and compact.

[0063] Optionally, the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 described above can be configured with the same structure. The following description uses the first telescopic drive member 3 as an example. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the first telescopic drive member 3 includes a third rotary drive member 31, a first swing arm 32, a second swing arm 33, and a movable bracket 34. The third rotary drive member 31 is mounted on the vehicle body 100. One end of the first swing arm 32 and the second swing arm 33 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 100, and one of the first swing arm 32 and the second swing arm 33 is driveably connected to the third rotary drive member 31. The movable bracket 34 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first swing arm 32 and the other end of the second swing arm 33. The movable bracket 34 of the first telescopic drive member 3 is connected to the first support beam 5 through a connecting frame 10. Similarly, the second telescopic drive member 4 can also adopt the above structure, with the movable bracket 34 of the second telescopic drive member 4 directly connected to the second support beam 6. It should be noted that, in addition to the above-described structure, the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 can also adopt other structures with telescopic functions, such as the telescopic drive structure of a conventional automotive electric pedal, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0064] In one embodiment, a plurality of first rotary drive members 7 are provided on the first support beam 5, and each first rotary drive member 7 is connected to each first pedal body 1 to drive the first pedal body 1 to rotate around a first axis. The first support beam 5 has a first center line extending along a third direction Y, and the first axis intersects with the first center line. A plurality of second rotary drive members 8 are provided on the second support beam 6, and each second rotary drive member 8 is connected to each second pedal body 2 to drive the second pedal body 2 to rotate around a second axis. The second support beam 6 has a second center line extending along a third direction Y, and the second axis intersects with the second center line.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 . Figure 5 As shown, by setting a first rotary drive member 7 on the first support beam 5, each first pedal body 1 can rotate independently relative to the first support beam 5 under the action of the corresponding first rotary drive member 7. By setting a second rotary drive member 8 on the second support beam 6, each second pedal body 2 can rotate independently relative to the second support beam 6 under the action of the corresponding second rotary drive member 8. This allows the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 to respond quickly and automatically according to the water flow environment during vehicle operation, meeting the needs of different working conditions. Furthermore, the first rotary drive member 7 provides support for the first pedal body 1, and the second rotary drive member 8 provides support for the second pedal body 2, ensuring that the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 can still rotate and maintain a preset angle when subjected to large water flow impacts, enhancing the control effect of the vehicle's driving posture in water and facilitating the driver's operation of the vehicle while driving in water.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, when the vehicle experiences uneven weight distribution on the front or rear sides, and if the vehicle is wading through deep water, it may flip over in the water. In this case, the positions of multiple first foot pedal bodies 1 can be adjusted under the action of the first rotary drive 7, and the positions of multiple second foot pedal bodies 2 can be adjusted under the action of the second rotary drive 8, so that the vehicle's front and rear posture can be corrected, enhancing the control effect of the vehicle's posture in water and making it easier for the driver to operate the vehicle while driving in water.

[0067] Preferably, the first axis is perpendicular to the first center line, so as to facilitate the rotation of the first foot pedal body 1 relative to the first support beam 5 and have a better airflow guiding effect. Similarly, the second axis is perpendicular to the second center line, so as to facilitate the rotation of the second foot pedal body 2 relative to the second support beam 6 and have a better airflow guiding effect.

[0068] In one embodiment, the first support beam 5 has a first receiving cavity 51, and the first rotary drive member 7 is disposed in the first receiving cavity 51; and / or, the second support beam 6 has a second receiving cavity 61, and the second rotary drive member 8 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 61.

[0069] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the first rotary drive component 7 and the second rotary drive component 8 can be one of a servo motor, a stepper motor, or a rotary hydraulic motor. The following description uses the first rotary drive component 7 as the first servo motor and the second rotary drive component 8 as the second servo motor as an example. The first servo motor is located within the first receiving cavity 51, and its fixed end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first receiving cavity 51 by bolts or welding. The output end of the first servo motor is a first output shaft, which passes through the surface of the first support beam 5 facing the second support beam 6 and is fixedly connected to the first foot pedal body 1, so that the first foot pedal body 1 can rotate relative to the first support beam 5 through the operation of the first servo motor. Similarly, the second servo motor is located within the second receiving cavity 61, and its fixed end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second receiving cavity 61 by bolts or welding. The output end of the second servo motor is a second output shaft, which passes through the surface of the second support beam 6 facing the first support beam 5 and is fixedly connected to the second foot pedal body 2, so that the second foot pedal body 2 can rotate relative to the second support beam 6 through the operation of the second servo motor.

[0070] This configuration, by installing the first rotary drive component 7 within the first receiving cavity 51 of the first support beam 5 and the second rotary drive component 8 within the second receiving cavity 61 of the second support beam 6, provides installation space for both components, preventing direct contact between them and the external environment. This ensures normal operation of both components when the vehicle is in water. Furthermore, it fully utilizes the structural space of the first and second support beams 5 and 6, avoiding the external space occupied by the first and second rotary drive components 7 and 8. This results in a compact overall structure for the pedal device, maintains its aesthetic appearance, and helps reduce vehicle resistance during operation.

[0071] Optionally, the control system for controlling the extension and retraction of the foot pedal relative to the vehicle body 100 can be combined with the control system for controlling the rotation of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2. With one control system, not only can the extension and retraction of the foot pedal body be realized, but the rotation of the first foot pedal body 1 and the rotation of the second foot pedal body 2 can also be controlled, thereby reducing the number of control systems and reducing the cost of use.

[0072] In one embodiment, the first foot pedal body 1 has a third surface 13, and the second support beam 6 has a third beam side surface 62, with the third surface 13 corresponding to the third beam side surface 62. When the first surface 11 of the first foot pedal body 1 is subjected to a stepping force, the third surface 13 abuts against the third beam side surface 62; and / or, the second foot pedal body 2 has a fourth surface 21, and the first support beam 5 has a first beam side surface 52, with the fourth surface 21 corresponding to the first beam side surface 52. When the first surface 11 of the first foot pedal body 1 is subjected to a stepping force, the fourth surface 21 abuts against the first beam side surface 52.

[0073] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the first support beam 5 has a first beam side 52 and a second beam side 53 along the second direction X, and the second support beam 6 has a third beam side 62 and a fourth beam side 63 along the second direction X. The fourth beam side 63 faces the vehicle body 100, and the second telescopic drive member 4 can be connected to the fourth beam side 63. By aligning the third surface 13 of the first foot pedal body 1 with the third beam side 62 of the second support beam 6, and allowing them to abut against each other when the first surface 11 of the first foot pedal body 1 is subjected to force, and by aligning the fourth surface 21 of the second foot pedal body 2 with the first beam side 52 of the first support beam 5, and allowing them to abut against each other when the first surface 11 of the first foot pedal body 1 is subjected to force, when the user steps on the first surface 11 of the first foot pedal body 1, the stepping force can be transmitted through the first foot pedal body 1 to the first support beam 5 and the second support beam 6. The cooperation of the first support beam 5 and the second support beam 6 can enhance the overall rigidity of the foot pedal device in the unfolded state, reduce the risk of deformation caused by stepping, and extend the service life of the foot pedal device.

[0074] In one embodiment, the second pedal body 2 has a fifth surface 22 facing the first pedal body 1 along the first direction Z, and the fifth surface 22 is configured as an arc-shaped surface recessed towards the inside of the second pedal body 2.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, when the vehicle is traveling in water, in order for the pedal device to provide downforce to the vehicle and prevent it from overturning, the first telescopic drive member 3 can be fully deployed and the second telescopic drive member 4 can be partially deployed to move the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 to the position where downforce is provided. Specifically, when the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 are deployed relative to each other to provide downforce to the vehicle, the water flowing through the first surface 11 of the first pedal body 1 can then flow through the fifth surface 22 of the second pedal body 2, thereby providing a downward force F to the second pedal body 2, and thus providing a downward force F to the vehicle. When the water flow velocity along the second direction X is high, it can effectively prevent the vehicle from being overturned by the water flow.

[0076] Furthermore, the fifth surface 22 of the second pedal body 2 facing the first pedal body 1 is set as an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped surface is concave towards the inner side of the second pedal body 2. When the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 unfold and separate along the second direction X, the water flowing through the first pedal body 1 then flows through the arc-shaped surface of the second pedal body 2. Under the action of the arc-shaped surface, the water flow can generate a larger downward force F on the arc-shaped surface, thereby providing a larger downward force F for the vehicle. When the water flow velocity is large, it can effectively prevent the vehicle from being overturned by the water flow.

[0077] In one embodiment, a clearance groove 14 is provided on the second surface 12 of the first pedal body 1; when the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 are stacked, the corner of the fifth surface 22 of the second pedal body 2 is at least partially accommodated in the clearance groove 14.

[0078] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the clearance groove 14 is recessed towards the first surface 11 of the first pedal body 1. The clearance groove 14 can cooperate with the corner of the fifth surface 22 of the second pedal body 2 near the second support beam 6. When the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 are in a stacked state, the corner of the fifth surface 22 near the second support beam 6 can be accommodated in the clearance groove 14, thereby reducing the thickness of the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 in the first direction Z, thus effectively reducing the space occupied by the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 in the first direction Z, making the overall thickness of the pedal device smaller along the first direction Z, which facilitates the overall layout of the pedal device in the vehicle.

[0079] In one embodiment, the first support beam 5 has a first beam side 52 and a second beam side 53 facing each other. The first beam side 52 faces the second support beam 6, and the second beam side 53 protrudes in a direction away from the second beam side 53. The second beam side 53 includes a first guide section 531 and a second guide section 532. The first guide section 531 and the second guide section 532 are connected at their close ends and are arranged at an angle.

[0080] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, when the vehicle is traveling in water, in order for the pedal device to provide buoyancy to the vehicle, the first telescopic drive member 3 and the second telescopic drive member 4 can be partially deployed to move the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 to the buoyancy-providing position. The first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 are still in a stacked state at the buoyancy-providing position, so that the first pedal body 1 and the second pedal body 2 stack together to provide buoyancy to the vehicle. Specifically, when the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 are stacked together to provide buoyancy for the vehicle, the foot pedal body formed by the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 can be inclined relative to the vehicle body 100. That is, the height of the first support beam 5 above the ground along the first direction Z is greater than the height of the second support beam 6 above the ground. This allows the water flowing along the second direction X to first contact the second beam side 53 of the first support beam 5. Subsequently, under the guiding effect of the second beam side 53, a large amount of water flows along the surface of the second foot pedal body 2 towards the ground. This allows the water flow to generate an upward force F on the first support beam 5, the second foot pedal body 2, and the second support beam 6, thereby providing an upward force F to the vehicle, increasing the buoyancy of the vehicle in the water, and facilitating the vehicle's movement in the water.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second beam side 53 of the first support beam 5 is configured as an outwardly convex curved structure, and the first guide section 531 along the first direction Z is located above the second guide section 532, and the length of the first guide section 531 is less than the length of the second guide section 532. When the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 are stacked and partially unfolded relative to the vehicle body 100, a large amount of water can flow through the second guide section 532 and then flow along the surface of the second foot pedal body 2 toward the ground, so that the water can generate an upward oblique force F on the first support beam 5, the second foot pedal body 2 and the second support beam 6, providing the vehicle with corresponding buoyancy.

[0082] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body 100 and the aforementioned foot pedal device, wherein a first foot pedal body 1 is connected to the vehicle body 100 via a first telescopic drive member 3.

[0083] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes the aforementioned foot pedal device. The foot pedal device is configured as a first foot pedal body 1 and a second foot pedal body 2, which can be stacked. The first foot pedal body 1 can be deployed relative to the second foot pedal body 2 via a first telescopic drive member 3. When the vehicle is traveling in water, the relative positions of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2 can be adjusted. Through the cooperation of the first foot pedal body 1 and the second foot pedal body 2, the direction of water flow can be guided, and the buoyancy of the vehicle body 100 in the water can be adjusted. This directly and actively regulates the force state of the vehicle in the water, facilitating the control of the vehicle's attitude while traveling in water and reducing the risk of yaw or capsizing. Furthermore, by configuring the foot pedal device as a split structure, it not only serves as a foot pedal for the user but also functions as a hydrofoil structure for use by the vehicle in water, thus avoiding the need for an additional hydrofoil structure and making the overall structure compact.

[0084] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
