[0059] In some embodiments, the pedal transition bracket 40 includes a transition connecting plate 41 and a transition side plate 42, and the transition connecting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the pedal mechanism 10. The transition side plate 42 is fixedly connected to the transition connecting plate 41, and is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 21. Specifically, two transition side plates 42 are provided, and are respectively fixedly connected to the transition connecting plates 41, so that the pedal transition bracket 40 forms a groove structure.

[0065] According to the pedal device 1 and the oil storage tank 2 assembly of the embodiment of the present application, the connecting mechanism 20 integrates and fixes the pedal mechanism 10 with the oil storage tank 2. Since the locking component 23 is movably connected to at least one of the connecting bracket 21 and the connecting member 22, the locking and fixing space 30 is changed by adjusting the movable connection position of the locking component 23 and the connecting bracket 21 and the connecting member 22, so that the locking and fixing space 30 can integrate and fix the oil storage tank 2 of different cross-sections with the pedal device 1, forming a series of this type of fixation, solving the problems of limited overall installation space of the pedal mechanism 10 and short overall length of the pedal mechanism 10, so that the pedal mechanism 10 can be very conveniently arranged on the oil storage tank 2 and can have a longer overall length. When people enter and exit the cab, the pedal mechanism 10 can provide more space for people to step on, which is convenient for entering and exiting the cab.

[0066] In some embodiments, the pedal mechanism 10 is disposed on one side of the oil storage tank 2 in the first direction. A plurality of connecting mechanisms 20 are provided, and are arranged and fixed on the pedal mechanism 10 along the first direction. The first direction is the X direction in the figure, which is the overall length direction of the pedal mechanism 10.
