This solves the problem that existing vehicle passenger compartments lack cleaning functions for passenger shoes, which can easily cause vehicle soiling and pose safety hazards. It enables vehicle interior cleaning and increases the safety and convenience of vehicle use. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a foot pedal anti-fouling device for a vehicle passenger compartment provided by the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation methods.

[0032] In response to the current problem that occupants easily soil the passenger compartment of vehicles, this invention provides a foot-operated anti-fouling device for the passenger compartment. This solves the problem that existing vehicle passenger compartments lack a way to clean stains from occupants' shoes, which easily leads to vehicle soiling and safety hazards. It can achieve vehicle interior cleanliness and increase the safety and convenience of vehicle use.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle passenger compartment foot pedal anti-fouling device includes: a foot pedal body 1, a tightening switch 2, a driving device, and a wrapping device; the foot pedal body 1 is provided with a slide rail, the wrapping device is slidably disposed on the foot pedal body 1, the driving device is disposed below the foot pedal body and is drivenly connected to the wrapping device; the tightening switch 2 is signal-connected to the driving device, when the tightening switch 2 is pressed, the driving device drives the wrapping device to slide along the slide rail and wrap the passenger shoes stepped on the foot pedal body; when the tightening switch 2 changes from a pressed state to a released state, the driving device drives the wrapping device back to the starting position.

[0034] Specifically, the wrapping device is used to cover mud and dirt on the occupants' feet, preventing them from flowing into the vehicle. When the occupant places their foot on the footrest and presses the retractable switch, the drive mechanism activates the wrapping device to cover the occupant's footrest. When the occupant lifts their foot, the retractable switch pops open, and the drive mechanism and wrapping device return to their original positions. This device enables interior cleaning, increasing the safety and convenience of vehicle use.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, the device also includes a front baffle 3; the front baffle 3 is disposed in front of the tightening switch to limit the position of the occupant's foot when stepping on the tightening switch.

[0036] In practical applications, the passenger places their foot on the foot pedal body with the toe of the shoe against the front panel. At this time, the forefoot presses the tightening switch to allow the packing device to perform anti-fouling treatment.

[0037] Furthermore, the foot pedal body is provided with a foot groove. When the occupant's foot is placed in the foot groove and the tightening switch is pressed, the wrapping device wraps the occupant's foot.

[0038] Furthermore, the tightening switch is located at the rear edge of the foot groove to correspond to the toe-stepping position.

[0039] Furthermore, an indicator light is provided on the upper part of the front panel to locate the position of the shoe toe when the tightening switch is stepped on.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the wrapping device includes: a tightening pulley 6, a tightening mechanism, a wrapping soft cloth, an ankle strap 5, and an instep strap 4; the wrapping soft cloth is laid on the pedal groove, and the ankle strap and the instep strap are provided on the wrapping soft cloth; the ankle strap is used to wrap the heel of the pedaling foot; the instep strap is used to wrap the instep of the pedaling foot; the tightening mechanism is connected to the wrapping soft cloth, the tightening mechanism is driven to the tightening pulley, and the tightening pulley is driven to the driving device; when the tightening pulley slides along the slide rail, it drives the tightening mechanism to wrap the pedaling foot with the wrapping soft cloth.

[0041] In practical applications, during the tightening of the pulley, the instep strap and ankle strap move forward and press against the occupant's heel, thus achieving full coverage of the shoe. Once the ankle strap is against the heel, the drive pulley stops working because the working pressure is only 15-20N. At this point, the length of the coverage area matches the size of the occupant's shoe.

[0042] Furthermore, the tightening mechanism includes a pull rope and a fixed pulley; the pull rope is connected to the wrapping soft cloth, the tightening pulley and the fixed pulley respectively, and slides repeatedly with the tightening pulley to shrink and unfold the wrapping soft cloth; the fixed pulley is disposed on the foot pedal body.

[0043] In practical applications, the wrapping cloth is equipped with multiple pull loops, and the pull rope passes through the pull loops to retract the wrapping cloth.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the driving device includes: a push rod 8, a drive pulley 7, and a motor; the motor is drivenly connected to the drive pulley, one end of the push rod is connected to the drive pulley, and the other end of the push rod is connected to the tightening mechanism.

[0045] The device also includes: a tension spring 9; one end of the tension spring 9 is connected to the foot pedal body, and the other end of the tension spring 9 is connected to the push rod 8; the tension spring retracts and resets when the foot pedal is lifted and the tension switch pops up, thereby driving the push rod and the drive pulley to reset.

[0046] As can be seen, the present invention provides a footrest anti-fouling device for vehicle passenger compartments. When the tightening switch is pressed, the drive device drives the wrapping device to slide along the slide rail and wrap the passenger shoes stepped on the footrest body. This solves the problem that existing vehicle passenger compartments lack cleaning of stains on passenger shoes, which easily causes vehicle soiling and poses safety hazards. It can achieve vehicle interior cleaning and increase the safety and convenience of vehicle use.
