[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of footrest boards, in particular to a footrest board base and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] During the design and development of the whole vehicle, the footrest needs a base support. Traditional models use a metal bracket as a base welded to the body for support. The base is integrated with the body, and then the footrest is installed on the base. With the development of the times, the requirements for lightweight in the whole vehicle design process are getting higher and higher. In order to facilitate the control space of the whole vehicle, many new energy models have developed a foam material contour structure base. The biggest advantage of this base is that it has a simple structure, can maximize the use of space, and is light in weight. However, this base has the disadvantage of being easily displaced. Therefore, a light but stable and fixed footrest base is needed. Utility Model Content

[0028] In order to improve the user's experience comfort, a footrest is provided at the driver's side of the vehicle for the driver to step on. The footrest is usually arranged on the left front side of the vehicle body. The footrest needs a base support. The base is usually tilted, the bottom surface is abutted against the bottom plate of the vehicle body, and the front side is abutted against the front plate of the vehicle body. Traditional models adopt a metal base welded on the vehicle body for support. The base and the vehicle body are integrated, and then the footrest is installed on the base. The connection between the base and the vehicle body is stable and durable, but the weight of the traditional metal welding bracket is about 300g, which is too heavy. With the development of time, the requirements for lightweight in the whole vehicle design process are getting higher and higher. Therefore, some models have developed a profiling structure base of a foam material. The profiling structure base is clamped at the sheet metal seam of the vehicle body. The biggest advantage of the profiling structure base is that the weight is light, and the structure is simple, and the space can be maximized, but there is a disadvantage of easy displacement. In view of this, the present application provides a footrest base installed on the vehicle body, which improves the connection strength between the footrest base and the vehicle body and improves the service life while meeting the requirements of reducing the weight of the base.
