Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on the surface of the connecting member away from the support plate, and the fixing member is partially located in the guide groove, which can limit the rotation angle of the connecting member, and further limit the rotation angle of the pedal.

[0019] In a possible embodiment, the fixing member includes a first sub-portion, a second sub-portion and a third sub-portion. The first sub-portion is inserted into the guide groove and abuts against the surface of the guide groove close to the gear. The second sub-portion is connected to the first sub-portion. The second sub-portion is arranged opposite to the support plate, and the guide groove is located between the second sub-portion and the support plate.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the connecting member includes a driving plate and a connecting plate. The driving plate is meshed with the gear. The connecting plate is located on a side of the pedal close to the gear and is arranged opposite to the pedal. The connecting plate is connected to the pedal and is connected to an end of the driving plate away from the gear.

[0022] According to the above technical means, by arranging the connecting plate and the pedal relative to each other, the contact area between the connecting plate and the pedal can be increased, thereby making the connection stability of the pedal higher.

[0047] In order to enable ordinary persons in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims.

[0049] For ease of understanding, a footrest, a vehicle, and a vehicle control method provided by the present application are specifically introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 1 is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a footrest according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 This is a second structural schematic diagram of a footrest according to an exemplary embodiment, see Figure 1 Combined with Figure 2 The footrest 10 provided in the present application can be installed in the cockpit of the vehicle 100 or in the passenger compartment of the vehicle 100. The footrest 10 includes a pedal 1, a connecting member 2, a supporting assembly 3 and a first driving device 4.

[0051] The connecting member 2 is connected to the pedal 1. The supporting assembly 3 is movably connected to the connecting member 2, and the connecting member 2 can move relative to the supporting assembly 3. The pedal 1 and the connecting member 2 are located on the same side of the supporting assembly 3. The first driving device 4 is connected to the supporting assembly 3 and to the connecting member 2. The first driving device 4 is used to drive the connecting member 2 to rotate relative to the supporting assembly 3 around a rotation axis, and the rotation axis is parallel to the pedal 1.

[0052] It can be understood that the first driving device 4 can drive the connecting member 2 to rotate, and then the connecting member 2 can drive the pedal 1 to rotate to different angles, thereby meeting the needs of the passengers and improving the riding comfort.

[0053] In this way, when the passenger needs to use the footrest 10, the pedal 1 can be adjusted to a suitable angle by adjusting the first drive device 4 according to the passenger's needs, so as to facilitate the passenger's use and improve riding comfort.

[0054] Exemplarily, the first driving device 4 may be electrically connected to the connecting member 2 , or may be communicatively connected to the connecting member 2 .

[0055] It should be noted that the adjustment switch of the footrest 10 can be set on the main console, or on the corresponding door, or can be controlled by voice wake-up. It can be set according to actual conditions, and this application does not limit this.

[0056] It should be noted that the number of support components, connecting parts and first drive devices can be one, two, three or four, which can be set according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0057] Exemplarily, the present application is described by taking the example that the number of the supporting assembly 3, the connecting member 2 and the first driving device 4 is two.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 There are two supporting assemblies 3, the two supporting assemblies 3 are arranged opposite to each other, and the pedal 1 is located between the two supporting assemblies 3. There are two connecting members 2, each connecting member 2 corresponds to one supporting assembly 3, and the connecting member 2 is movably connected to the corresponding supporting assembly 3.

[0059] Meanwhile, there are two first drive devices 4, and each first drive device 4 corresponds to one support assembly 3 and one connecting member 2. The first drive device 4 is connected to the corresponding support assembly 3 and to the corresponding connecting member 2.

[0060] In this way, the two support assemblies 3 can be connected to the two connectors 2 in a one-to-one correspondence, thereby improving the installation stability. At the same time, when the passenger needs to use the footrest 10, the two connectors 2 can be adjusted to a suitable angle by adjusting the two first driving devices 4 according to their needs, and then the two connectors 2 drive the pedal 1 to be adjusted to a suitable angle, which is convenient for the passenger to use and can improve the riding comfort.

[0061] It can be understood that by setting the number of the supporting assembly 3, the connecting member 2 and the first driving device 4 to two, stable support for the pedal 1 can be achieved, making the pedal 1 more stable when the angle is adjusted.

[0062] It should be noted that the footrest 10 can be installed on the front seat or the back seat, and can provide passengers with a more comfortable riding experience. It can be specifically set according to actual conditions, and this application does not limit this.

[0063] Exemplarily, when the footrest 10 is installed on the front passenger seat, the two support assemblies 3 can be arranged opposite to each other at the lower side of the center console box and the lower side of the A-pillar of the automobile.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the partially enlarged structure at A in the middle. The support assembly 3 may also include a support plate 31, a support column 32 and a second drive device 33. The support plate 31 is located on one side of the pedal 1 in the first direction F1, and is movably connected to the connecting member 2. The first direction F1 is parallel to the axis of rotation. The support column 32 is slidably connected to the support plate 31. Along the first direction F1, the support plate 31 is located between the support column 32 and the pedal 1. The second drive device 33, connected to the support plate 31, is used to drive the support plate 31 to slide relative to the support column 32 along the second direction F2, and the second direction F2 is perpendicular to the first direction F1.

[0065] It is understandable that, by providing the second driving device 33, the support plate 31 can be driven to slide relative to the support column 32, thereby adjusting the pedal 1 to a suitable position to facilitate the use of the occupants and improve comfort.

[0066] It should be noted that the support column 32 and the support plate 31 can be slidably connected by setting an electric sliding rod or a hydraulic rod, or by setting a sliding block. The specific setting can be made according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0067] Exemplarily, the present application is described by setting a slider 34 to achieve a sliding connection.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 4It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a support assembly according to an exemplary embodiment. The support column 32 has a sliding cavity 321, and is provided with an opening 322 connected to the sliding cavity 321, and the opening 322 extends along the second direction F2. The support assembly 3 also includes a slider 34, which is connected to the support plate 31 and is slidably connected to the support column 32. The slider 34 can slide along the second direction F2 relative to the support column 32. The slider 34 includes a limiting portion 341 and a connecting portion 342. The limiting portion 341 is located in the sliding cavity 321, and is at least partially located on the peripheral side of the opening 322. The connecting portion 342 is penetrated into the opening 322, and is connected to the limiting portion 341 and the support plate 31.

[0069] It is understandable that the slider 34 in the present application includes a limiting portion 341 and a connecting portion 342, and the connecting portion 342 is connected to the limiting portion 341 and the support plate 31. The limiting portion 341 of the slider 34 slides in the sliding cavity 321 of the support column 32, which can drive the connecting portion 342 of the slider 34 to slide, thereby achieving relative sliding of the support plate 31. In this way, the position of the pedal 1 can be adjusted, which is convenient for passengers to use.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the support column 32 may include a slider 34 , and the side of the support plate 31 away from the pedal 1 has a sliding cavity 321 . The slider 34 is located in the sliding cavity 321 and can slide relative to the support column 32 along the second direction F2 .

[0071] In this way, the support column 32 and the support plate 31 can also be slidably matched, so that the position of the pedal 1 can be adjusted, which is convenient for passengers to use.

[0072] It should be noted that the opening 322 may be located on a side of the support column 32 close to the support plate 31, or may be located on a side of the support column 32. The opening 322 may be specifically arranged according to actual conditions, and the present application does not impose any limitation thereto.

[0073] Exemplarily, the present application takes the example that the opening 322 is located on a side of the support column 32 close to the support plate 31 for explanation.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The slider 34 further includes a fixing portion 343, and along the first direction F1, the fixing portion 343 is located between the connecting portion 342 and the support plate 31, and the fixing portion 343 is connected to the connecting portion 342 and the support plate 31. The contact area between the fixing portion 343 and the support plate 31 is greater than the area of ​​the end surface of the connecting portion 342 close to the support plate 31.

[0075] It is understandable that the opening 322 is located on the side of the support column 32 close to the support plate 31, and the area of ​​the end surface of the connecting portion 342 located in the opening 322 is relatively small. In this way, by providing the fixing portion 343 connected to the connecting portion 342 and the support plate 31, and the contact area between the fixing portion 343 and the support plate 31 is larger than the area of ​​the end surface of the connecting portion 342 close to the support plate 31, the contact area between the slider 34 and the support plate 31 can be made larger, thereby making the stability of the support plate 31 better.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 Combined with Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a connecting member, a fixing member and a first driving device according to an exemplary embodiment. The connecting member 2 is located on the side of the support plate 31 close to the pedal 1. The first driving device 4 includes a gear 41 and a motor 42. The gear 41 is located on the side of the support plate 31 close to the pedal 1 and meshes with the connecting member 2. Along the second direction F2, the pedal 1 and the connecting member 2 are located on the same side of the gear 41. The motor 42 is connected to the support plate 31 and the gear 41, and is used to drive the gear 41 to rotate, so as to drive the connecting member 2 to rotate around the rotation axis relative to the support assembly 3.

[0077] In this way, the motor 42 can drive the gear 41 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting member 2 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the pedal 1. Furthermore, when the pedal 1 is adjusted to a suitable use angle, the engagement of the gear 41 and the connecting member 2 can also fix the use angle of the pedal 1.

[0078] In some embodiments, the connecting member 2 is provided with a guide groove 21 on the surface facing away from the support plate 31. The surface of the guide groove 21 close to the gear 41 is projected as an arc on the reference plane, and the arc is concave away from the gear 41. The reference plane is perpendicular to the first direction F1.

[0079] The footrest board 10 further includes a fixing member 5, which is connected to the support plate 31 and is partially located in the guide groove 21. The fixing member 5 abuts against the surface of the guide groove 21 close to the gear 41, and abuts against the surface of the connecting member 2 away from the support plate 31. The fixing member 5 can move relative to the connecting member 2 along the extension direction of the arc.

[0080] It is understandable that by setting the fixing member 5 to abut against the surface of the connecting member 2 away from the support plate 31, the relative movement of the connecting member 2 along the first direction F1 can be limited. Furthermore, a guide groove 21 is provided on the surface of the connecting member 2 away from the support plate 31, and the fixing member 5 is partially located in the guide groove 21, which can limit the rotation angle of the connecting member 2, and further limit the rotation angle of the pedal 1.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The fixing member 5 includes a first sub-portion 51 , a second sub-portion 52 and a third sub-portion 53 .

[0082] The first sub-portion 51 is inserted into the guide groove 21 and abuts against a surface of the guide groove 21 close to the gear 41 .

[0083] It can be understood that in the present application, the first sub-portion 51 is inserted into the guide groove 21 to limit the rotation angle of the connecting member 2, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the pedal 1.

[0084] The second sub-portion 52 is connected to the first sub-portion 51. The second sub-portion is arranged opposite to the support plate 31, and the guide groove 21 is located between the second sub-portion 52 and the support plate 31. The second sub-portion 52 abuts against the surface of the connecting member 2 away from the support plate.

[0085] In this way, the second sub-portion 52 abuts against the surface of the connecting member 2 away from the supporting plate 31 to limit the relative movement of the connecting member 2 along the first direction F1 , so that the connecting member 2 is fixed.

[0086] The third sub-portion 53 is located on the peripheral side of the connecting member 2 and is connected to the second sub-portion 52 and the supporting plate 31 .

[0087] It is understandable that the third sub-section 53 is connected to the second sub-section 52 to provide support for the second sub-section 52. The third sub-section 53 is connected to the support plate 31 to fix the third sub-section 53 relative to the support plate 31.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 Combined with Figure 6 , Figure 6 2 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a connecting member according to an exemplary embodiment. The connecting member 2 includes a driving plate 22 and a connecting plate 23. The driving plate 22 is meshed with a gear 41. The connecting plate 23 is located on a side of the pedal 1 close to the gear 41 and is arranged opposite to the pedal 1. The connecting plate 23 is connected to the pedal 1 and is connected to an end of the driving plate 22 away from the gear 41.

[0089] In this way, by arranging the connection plate 23 and the pedal 1 opposite to each other, the contact area between the connection plate 23 and the pedal 1 can be increased, thereby making the connection stability of the pedal 1 higher.

[0090] In some embodiments, the present application further provides a vehicle 100 , which includes any of the above-mentioned footrests 10 .

[0091] On this basis, the footrest 10 inside the vehicle 100 provided in the present application can be adjusted in position and angle to meet the different needs of the occupants.

[0092] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes an identification device 20 for identifying a height parameter of an occupant.

[0093] Exemplarily, the recognition device 20 may be installed at a rearview mirror of the vehicle 100 .

[0094] The present application provides a method for controlling a vehicle. Figure 7 , Figure 7 is one of the schematic diagrams of a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment. The control method may include the following steps:

[0095] S101. Obtain the height parameter of the occupant, and convert the height parameter into a position signal.
