DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.
[0033] See also Figure 2-3As shown, the utility model discloses a motorcycle with adjustable pedals, comprising a vehicle body 1, and pedal assemblies 2 arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 1. In the width direction of the vehicle body 1, the direction of one pedal assembly 2 toward another pedal assembly 2 is defined as the inner side, and the direction of one pedal assembly 2 away from another pedal assembly 2 is defined as the outer side. Each pedal assembly 2 comprises a first pedal portion 201 fixed relative to the vehicle body 1, and a second pedal portion 202 movable between a first position and a second position relative to the first pedal portion 201. The distance between the outer ends of the two first pedal portions 201 is less than the maximum width of the vehicle body 1. When the second pedal portion 202 is located at the first position, the outer end of the second pedal portion 202 is closer to the inner side than the outer end of the first pedal portion 201, so that the pedal assembly 2 will not protrude beyond the maximum width of the vehicle body, and will not cause inconvenience to the transportation of the motorcycle. Moreover, the first pedal portion 201 can be used as the pedal portion of the pedal assembly 2, and the pedal portion can be prevented from being too abrupt, making the motorcycle more beautiful. When the second pedal portion 202 is in the second position, the outer end of the second pedal portion 202 is further outward relative to the outer end of the first pedal portion 201. At this time, the second pedal portion 202 can be used as the pedal portion of the pedal assembly 2, and is an extended pedal portion, thereby improving the pedal comfort of the rider / passenger.
[0034] See also Figure 4-6 As shown, each pedal assembly 2 includes a pedal seat 21, a pedal body 22, and a pedal rubber 23 fixedly arranged on the pedal body 22, the pedal rubber 23 covers one end of the pedal body 22 and extends to the end outside the pedal body 22, the pedal seat 21 is fixedly connected to the pedal board 3 of the vehicle body 1, the pedal body 22 and the pedal seat 21 are movably connected, so that the pedal body 22 and the pedal rubber 23 form a movable member movable relative to the pedal seat 21. The first pedal portion 201 is arranged on the pedal seat 21, and the first pedal portion 201 is arranged to protrude outward, and the second pedal portion 202 is arranged on the movable member, more specifically, on the pedal rubber 23, so that the first pedal portion 201 and the second pedal portion 202 can move relative to each other.
[0035] In other embodiments, the first pedal portion 201 may also be directly disposed on the foot pedal 3 of the vehicle body 1 , and the movable member may be movably connected to the foot pedal 3 .
[0036] In addition, according to the structure of the pedal body 22, in other embodiments, the pedal rubber 23 can also be omitted, that is, the pedal body 22 forms the above-mentioned moving part. At this time, the pedal body 22 should be provided with an anti-slip structure to replace the anti-slip function of the pedal rubber 23. At this time, the second pedal part 202 is formed on the pedal body 22.
[0037] See also Figure 7-12As shown, the pedal rubber 23 is threadedly connected to the pedal body 22 through a threaded connector 231, the upper end of the threaded connector 231 is wrapped inside the pedal rubber 23, and the threaded end of the threaded connector 231 is protrudingly arranged on the lower side of the pedal rubber 23. The pedal body 22 is provided with a through hole, and the threaded connector 231 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to a nut, thereby forming a threaded connection between the pedal rubber 23 and the pedal body 22.
[0038] In order to increase the reliability of the relative fixation between the pedal rubber 23 and the pedal body 22, the lower side of the pedal rubber 23 is also provided with a buckling protrusion 232 protruding downward, and the pedal body 22 is provided with a buckling groove 221 corresponding to the buckling protrusion 232. The buckling protrusion 231 cooperates with the buckling groove 221 to form a snap connection, so that the pedal rubber 23 and the pedal body 22 are fixedly connected through threaded connection and snap connection. In this example, the pedal rubber 23 is provided with two buckling protrusions 232, so that the pedal rubber 23 and the pedal body 22 form a three-point connection, further increasing the reliability of the relative fixation between the pedal rubber 23 and the pedal body 22. In other embodiments, only one buckling protrusion 232 or more than two buckling protrusions 232 may be provided.
[0039] See also Figure 4-6 As shown, the pedal seat 21 and the moving member are rotatably connected, so that the moving member is movably arranged on the pedal seat 21, and the second pedal portion 202 is located at the free end of the moving member. More specifically, the connection between the pedal body 22 and the pedal seat 21 is a rotatable connection, and the free end of the moving member is an end away from the rotation center axis of the pedal body 22. Since the pedal rubber 23 covers the pedal body 22 and extends to one end outside the pedal body 22, the pedal rubber 23 forms the second pedal portion 202, and the free end of the moving member is the outer end of the second pedal portion 201.
[0040] See also Figure 13-16As shown, the connection between the moving member and the pedal seat 21 is achieved by the connection between the pedal body 22 and the pedal seat 21. In order to limit the motion range of the second pedal portion 202 between the first position and the second position, a limiting mechanism is provided between the pedal seat 21 and the pedal body 22. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting piece 24 with a limiting slot 241 and a limiting piece 25 inserted in the limiting slot 241. The limiting piece 24 is fixedly provided on the pedal seat 21 through a flat plug-in portion 242. The first end of the limiting piece 25 is fixedly connected to the pedal body 22. The second end of the limiting piece 25 is provided with a convex portion whose radial dimension is larger than the limiting slot 241. A limiting portion is formed between the first end and the second end of the limiting piece, which is inserted in the limiting slot 241 and can slide freely in the limiting slot 241 along the circumferential direction of the limiting slot. The motion range of the second pedal portion 202 is limited between the first position and the second position by sliding the limiting piece in the limiting slot along the circumferential direction thereof. In this example, the limiting member 25 is a bolt, which passes through the limiting slot upward from the bottom of the limiting piece 24 and is threadedly connected to the pedal body 22. The head of the bolt forms a convex portion on the second end of the limiting member 25. The head of the bolt is located below the limiting piece 24, more specifically, between the limiting piece 24 and the pedal seat 21, so that a clearance fit is formed in the axial direction of the bolt. The clearance fit allows the pedal body 22 to rotate relative to the pedal seat 21 under the action of the limiting mechanism, but will not be too loose to cause the pedal body 22 to shake. In this example, two limiting slots 241 are provided, and the two limiting slots are not connected, forming two sets of limiting mechanisms with the two bolts, so that the movement of the pedal body 22 is more balanced.
[0041] Since the limiting plate 24 is only inserted on the pedal seat 21, and the bolt (i.e., the limiting member 25) between the pedal body 22 and the limiting plate 24 can only limit the relative movement between the limiting plate 24 and the pedal body 22, there is no reliable connection between the pedal body 22 and the pedal seat 21. In order to achieve the connection between the pedal seat 21 and the pedal body 22, the pedal seat 21 is provided with a locking boss 211, and the pedal body 22 is provided with a locking hole 222, which is a stepped hole, and a bolt passes through the locking hole 222 to form a threaded connection with the locking boss 211, thereby connecting the pedal body 22 and the pedal seat 21. However, the pedal body 22 must be rotatably connected to the pedal seat 21, so the locking boss 211 protrudes from the locking surface of the locking hole 222, more specifically, the locking boss 211 protrudes from the step surface of the locking hole 222, so that there is a certain distance between the bolt head of the locking bolt and the step surface of the locking hole 222, so that there is a certain distance between the lower surface of the pedal body 22 and the upper surface of the pedal seat 21 in the height direction of the locking boss 21. This design allows the pedal body 22 to have a certain rotation space relative to the pedal seat 21.
[0042] In addition, in order to provide feedback when the second pedal part 202 reaches the first position or the second position, a hole is opened in the pedal body 22, and an elastic member 26 facing the pedal seat 21 is installed in the hole. A steel ball 27 is provided at one end of the elastic member 26 close to the pedal seat 21. The limiting member 24 is provided with two positioning grooves 243. When the moving member drives the second pedal part 202 to the first position or the second position, the steel ball 27 cooperates with the positioning groove 243, more specifically, is embedded in the positioning groove 243. Since the steel ball is round, when the pedal body 22 switches between the first position and the second position, the steel ball can move out of the positioning groove 243 along with the pedal body 22. In this example, the elastic member 26 is a spring, and the spring is in a compressed state, so the steel ball 27 can be pressed into the positioning groove 243.
[0043] The pedal assembly 2 can be installed at the front end or rear end of the pedal board, or at both ends of the pedal board 3. When the pedal assembly 2 is located at the front end of the pedal board 3, the pedal assembly 2 is used by the rider; when the pedal assembly 2 is located at the rear end of the pedal board 3, the pedal assembly 2 is used by the passenger. Figure 2 As shown, a footrest assembly 2 is installed at the rear end of a footboard 3, and the footrest assembly 2 is provided for use by a passenger.
[0044] When the width of the motorcycle needs to be kept within a small range during transportation, the rotating moving member moves the second pedal portion 202 to the Figure 2 When the motorcycle is in use, the second pedal portion 202 may be located Figure 2 The first position shown can also be located at Figure 3 In the second position shown, when the second foot pedal portion 202 is in the first position, the first foot pedal portion 201 acts as a foot pedal, and the foot pedal is relatively small at this time; when the second foot pedal portion 202 is in the second position, the second foot pedal portion 202 replaces the first foot pedal portion 201 to act as a foot pedal, and the foot pedal is relatively large at this time and can be used as an extended foot pedal to meet the usage requirements of different groups of people.
