Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a side step for an automobile. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automobile industry, the design of automobiles is becoming more and more intelligent and humanized. For some models with higher chassis, more and more vehicles are equipped with intelligent side steps to meet the requirements of drivers and passengers for intelligence, humanization and convenience.

[0003] However, the existing side step has a large movement range in the height direction during the extension process. If the side step is set outward, it is easy for the side step to hit obstacles such as the road shoulder during the extension process, causing damage to the side step. If the side step is set further inward to avoid the side step hitting the road shoulder, the width of the extended side step will be shortened, making it inconvenient for passengers to step on it when getting on and off the vehicle. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to propose a side step for a car, which is used to solve the problem in the prior art that the side step hits the shoulder of the road due to excessive movement in the height direction during the extension process.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is a side step for a car, comprising:

[0006] A bracket, which is fixed to the vehicle, and has a first hinge portion and a second hinge portion;

[0007] a pedal body having a third hinge portion and a fourth hinge portion;

[0008] a first rotating member and a second rotating member, wherein two ends of the first rotating member are respectively hinged to the first hinge portion and the third hinge portion, two ends of the second rotating member are respectively hinged to the second hinge portion and the fourth hinge portion, and the first rotating member is located at a side of the second rotating member facing outward from the vehicle;

[0009] The pedal body has an unfolded state and a retracted state, and the first rotating member and the second rotating member rotate to allow the pedal body to switch between the unfolded state and the retracted state at will;

[0010] A straight line where the center of the first hinge part and the center of the third hinge part are located is defined as a first straight line, a straight line where the center of the second hinge part and the center of the fourth hinge part are defined as a second straight line, a third straight line where the center of the first hinge part and the center of the second hinge part are defined as a third straight line, and a fourth straight line where the center of the third hinge part and the center of the fourth hinge part are defined as a fourth straight line; in the stowed state and the unfolded state, the angles formed by the first straight line and the second straight line are both acute angles; in the stowed state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is above the third straight line; in the unfolded state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is below the fourth straight line.

[0011] Further, in the stored state, the angle between the first straight line and the fourth straight line is an obtuse angle;

[0012] In the unfolded state, the included angle between the second straight line and the fourth straight line is an obtuse angle.

[0013] Furthermore, the movement trajectory of the pedal body from the stored state to the unfolded state is recorded as a first curve, the horizontal plane where the pedal body is located in the unfolded state is recorded as a first plane, and the first curve and the first plane at any point on the pedal body have at least two intersections.

[0014] Furthermore, in the unfolded state, the height of any point on the pedal body is greater than or equal to 150 mm.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a driving member, which is fixed to the bracket, and the output shaft of the driving member passes through the first hinge part to be fixed to the first rotating member, or passes through the second hinge part to be fixed to the second rotating member.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The angle between the first straight line and the second straight line is an angle in both extreme states. At the same time, in the retracted state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is above the third straight line; in the unfolded state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is below the fourth straight line. This allows the pedal body to have a larger lateral movement during the extension process and a smaller movement amplitude in the height direction, thereby obtaining a larger aspect ratio. In this way, the problem of the pedal body being damaged by colliding with obstacles such as the shoulder of the road during the extension process can be solved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model discloses a side step for a car, comprising:

[0028] A bracket 200 is fixed to the vehicle, and the bracket 200 has a first hinge portion 210 and a second hinge portion 220;

[0029] The pedal body 100 has a third hinge portion 110 and a fourth hinge portion 120;

[0030] A first rotating member 300 and a second rotating member 400, wherein two ends of the first rotating member 300 are respectively hinged to the first hinged portion 210 and the third hinged portion 110, and two ends of the second rotating member 400 are respectively hinged to the second hinged portion 220 and the fourth hinged portion 120, and the first rotating member 300 is located at a side of the second rotating member 400 facing outward from the vehicle;

[0031] The pedal body 100 has an unfolded state and a retracted state, and the first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 rotate to allow the pedal body 100 to switch between the unfolded state and the retracted state at will;

[0032] A straight line including the center of the first hinge 210 and the center of the third hinge 110 is defined as a first straight line, a straight line including the center of the second hinge 220 and the center of the fourth hinge 120 is defined as a second straight line, a third straight line including the center of the first hinge 210 and the center of the second hinge 220 is defined as a third straight line, and a fourth straight line including the center of the third hinge 110 and the center of the fourth hinge 120 is defined as a fourth straight line; in the stowed state and the unfolded state, the angles formed by the first straight line and the second straight line are both acute angles; in the stowed state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is above the third straight line; in the unfolded state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is below the fourth straight line.

[0033] In the stowed state, the first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 rotate clockwise and drive the pedal body 100 to extend out of the vehicle to the deployed state; in the deployed state, the first rotating member 300 and the second rotating member 400 rotate counterclockwise and the electric pedal body 100 contracts to the stowed state.

[0034] Specifically, the angle between the first straight line and the second straight line is an angle in both extreme states. At the same time, in the retracted state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is above the third straight line; in the unfolded state, the intersection of the first straight line and the second straight line is below the fourth straight line. This allows the pedal body 100 to have a larger lateral movement during the extension process and a smaller movement amplitude in the height direction, thereby obtaining a larger aspect ratio (i.e., the ratio of the movement amplitude in the width direction to the movement amplitude in the height direction). In this way, the problem of the pedal body 100 being damaged by colliding with obstacles such as the shoulder of the road during the extension process can be solved.

[0035] Further, in the stored state, the angle between the first straight line and the fourth straight line is an obtuse angle;

[0036] In the unfolded state, the included angle between the second straight line and the fourth straight line is an obtuse angle.

[0037] Furthermore, the movement trajectory of the pedal body 100 from the stored state to the unfolded state is recorded as a first curve, the horizontal plane where the pedal body 100 is located in the unfolded state is recorded as a first plane, and the first curve at any point on the pedal body 100 has at least two intersections with the first plane.

[0038] If the first curve and the first plane have at least two intersection points, it means that the pedal body 100 has at least two processes, namely a descending stage and an ascending stage, in the process of extending outward, and the ascending height and the descending height are relatively close, instead of continuously ascending or descending. The height change of the pedal body 100 is divided into two stages in opposite directions, further reducing the movement amplitude of the pedal body 100 in the height direction in the process of extending out of the vehicle, thereby further reducing the probability of it colliding with foreign objects on the road surface.

[0039] Furthermore, in the unfolded state, the height of any point on the pedal body 100 is greater than or equal to 150 mm.

[0040] In the unfolded state, the height of the lowest point of the pedal body 100 is greater than or equal to 150 mm, which enables the pedal body 100 to have a larger ground clearance in the unfolded state and prevents the pedal body 100 from colliding with obstacles on the road surface.

[0041] Furthermore, a driving member is included, which is fixed to the bracket 200 , and the output shaft of the driving member passes through the first hinge part 210 to be fixed to the first rotating member 300 , or passes through the second hinge part 220 to be fixed to the second rotating member 400 .

[0042] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0043] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", "one", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0044] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
