[0044] Before describing the pedal of the embodiment of the utility model, the application scenario of the pedal is described. The pedal can be used for a human-powered bicycle or an electric bicycle (hereinafter referred to as an electric bicycle). In the following embodiments, the pedal is applied to an electric bicycle as an example.
[0045] The embodiments of the present utility model refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a pedal is provided, including a pedal 1, a support member 2 and a mounting member 8, wherein the support member 2 is supported on the lower side of the pedal 1, and the support member 2 is a metal member. The support member 2 supports the pedal 1 below the pedal 1, and the support member 2 made of metal has a strong bearing capacity and good structural stability, which can solve the problem that the injection molded parts are easy to break. Among them, the support member 2 can be an iron part, such as a stainless steel part or a cast iron part. The material of the pedal 1 is not limited, for example, the pedal 1 can be an injection molded part, a metal part, etc. The pedal 1 can be understood as a component for stepping on.
[0046] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pedal 1 is formed with a first hole 11, the support member 2 is formed with a second hole 21, the second hole 21 is connected to the first hole 11 along the axial direction to form a mounting hole 3, and the mounting member 8 is penetrated in the mounting hole 3. The pedal 1 and the support member 2 are both opened, so that the pedal can be mounted to the frame of the electric vehicle through the mounting member 8 penetrated in the mounting hole 3. The pedal 1, the support member 2 and the mounting member 8 cooperate to achieve the installation with the frame, the processing and assembly of the pedal 1 and the support member 2 are more convenient, and it also helps to extend the service life of the pedal, and the performance and cost of the pedal are optimized.
[0047] The mounting member 8 is fixedly connected to the pedal 1 through the mounting hole 3, or the mounting member 8 is rotatably connected to the pedal 1 through the mounting hole 3. When the mounting member 8 is fixedly connected to the pedal 1, the pedal is fixed to the frame of the electric vehicle; when the mounting member 8 is rotatably connected to the pedal 1, the pedal can be rotatably adjusted relative to the frame of the electric vehicle, such as being rotatably folded to form a foldable pedal.
[0048] Based on the above, the pedal of the embodiment of the utility model can solve the problem of easy breakage of a single injection-molded part through the cooperation of the pedal 1 and the support 2, and can also solve the problem of complex processing and high cost of a single iron part. The pedal 1 and the support 2 are simple to process and easy to assemble, which helps to reduce production and assembly costs and also helps to extend the life of the pedal.
[0049] In some embodiments, the pedal 1 can be an injection molded part. The injection molded part is processed in one piece, which has high processing efficiency. It can be assembled simply by plugging and installing, which can save production and assembly costs. The injection molded part can have an anti-slip effect. Preferably, the pedal 1 can be an injection molded part, and the support member 2 can be an iron part, which has a simple structure and low cost. The injection molded part can have elasticity, which helps to optimize the pedaling comfort. Among them, the support member 2 can be formed by stamping a plate.
[0050] In some cases, a cavity 4 is formed between the pedal 1 and the support member 2 to ensure the overall size of the pedal and reduce the weight of the pedal to provide a lightweight pedal product.
[0051] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the pedal 1 includes a protrusion 13 protruding downward along the top surface 12 of the pedal 1, the protrusion 13 is located at one end of the pedal 1, and the protrusion 13 forms a first hole 11. The top surface 12 of the pedal 1 can be stepped on, and the protrusion 13 is inserted into the support member 2, and the protrusion 13 can play a role in positioning with the support member 2. The physical structure of the protrusion 13 also plays a role in strengthening the first hole 11 to ensure the installation stability of the mounting member 8.
[0052] After the pedal 1 and the support member 2 are fixed, the protrusion 13 and the support member 2 are in contact or a small preset gap is reserved between the protrusion 13 and the support member 2. The preset gap can avoid interference between the support member 2 and the protrusion 13 during the assembly process. For example, the preset gap is 2mm, 5mm, 10mm, etc. The size of the preset gap can be appropriately adjusted according to the size of the pedal. The preset gap can be set to be greater than 1mm, which can reduce the requirements for processing accuracy.
[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the protrusion 13 is formed with a third hole 14 and a fourth hole 15, and the support member 2 is formed with a fifth hole 22 and a sixth hole 23. The third hole 14 and the fifth hole 22 are axially connected to form a first matching hole, and the fourth hole 15 and the sixth hole 23 are axially connected to form a second matching hole. The axis of the first matching hole and the axis of the mounting hole 3 form a first surface, and the axis of the second matching hole and the axis of the mounting hole 3 form a second surface, and the first surface is perpendicular to the second surface. One of the first matching hole and the second matching hole is used to provide an installation position for the positioning assembly of the left pedal, and the other is used to provide an installation position for the positioning assembly of the right pedal. The pedal of the embodiment of the utility model can be used as a left pedal or a right pedal, and the pedals on the left and right sides do not need to be molded separately, which helps to reduce the production cost.
[0054] It should be noted that the first surface and the second surface are perpendicular to each other, but are not limited to being strictly perpendicular. For example, due to factors such as design deviation and processing error, corresponding deviations are allowed.
[0055] Among them, the first matching hole and the second matching hole are blind holes, which can prevent the positioning component from falling out, play a role in protecting the positioning component, and also reduce the requirements for the positioning component.
[0056] Preferably, the third hole 14 and the fourth hole 15 are blind holes, and the fifth hole 22 and the sixth hole 23 are through holes. The pedal 1 is easy to form and can prevent water from entering the cavity 4 inside the pedal due to the through holes in the top surface 12 of the pedal 1, thereby protecting the pedal 1 and the support member 2. At the same time, the support member 2 is easy to process.
[0057] Of course, the third hole and the fourth hole may also be through holes, and the corresponding fifth hole and the sixth hole may be blind holes.
[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the pedal also includes a mounting seat 6, the mounting seat 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 8, the mounting member 8 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole 3, and the mounting seat 6 is used to be fixedly connected to the frame of the electric vehicle. For example, the mounting seat 6 can have an assembly hole 61, and the mounting seat 6 is fixedly connected to the frame of the electric vehicle by a fastener (not shown in the figure) penetrating the assembly hole 61. Of course, the mounting seat 6 can also be fixed to the frame of the electric vehicle by welding, clamping, etc.
[0059] In some embodiments, the pedal further includes a positioning assembly, which is disposed in one of the first matching hole and the second matching hole to limit the left pedal (or right pedal), such as limiting the left pedal (or right pedal) in a folded position or in an unfolded position. In the folded position, the left pedal (or right pedal) is folded toward the frame of the electric vehicle, at which time the pedal 1 cannot be stepped on, which can reduce the maximum width of the electric vehicle and reduce scratches; in the unfolded position, the pedal 1 can be stepped on.
[0060] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly includes an elastic member (not shown in the figure) and a spherical member 9, the elastic member is located in one of the first matching hole and the second matching hole, and the spherical member 9 is located at the end of the elastic member. When the mounting member 8 is rotated and connected to the mounting hole 3, the mounting seat 6 abuts against the spherical member 9, and the elastic member is elastically deformed by driving the elastic member, so that the mounting seat 6 rotates relative to the pedal 1 at a preset angle. When the pedal 1 is stepped on, the elastic member is compressed by pressure, and the resistance between the mounting seat 6 and the pedal 1 and the support member 2 is reduced. The pedal 1 and the support member 2 can be driven by external force to rotate relative to the mounting seat 6 at a preset angle, such as from a folded position to an unfolded position. Among them, the elastic member can be a spring, a silicone block, etc.
[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pedal also includes a gasket 7, which is located between the pedal 1 and the mounting seat 6. The gasket 7 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting member 8, and the gasket 7 plays a role in protecting the pedal 1. When the pedal 1 is an injection molded part, the gasket 7 can reduce the wear between the pedal 1 and the mounting seat 6. The gasket 7 can be a metal part, such as an iron part, to ensure the structural strength.
[0062] In some embodiments, the pedal 1 is formed with a groove 19, the gasket 7 is located in the groove 19, the side wall of the groove 19 is formed with a first limiting surface 16, the side wall of the gasket 7 is formed with a second limiting surface 71, the first limiting surface 16 and the second limiting surface 71 are arranged opposite to each other to limit the rotation of the gasket 7, ensure that the gasket 7 is stably positioned in the groove 19, and avoid wear caused by the rotation of the gasket 7 relative to the pedal 1. The first limiting surface 16 and the second limiting surface 71 have the same shape, but the shapes of the first limiting surface 16 and the second limiting surface 71 are not limited, such as the first limiting surface 16 and the second limiting surface 71 can be planes or curved surfaces. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first limiting surface 16 and the second limiting surface 71 are planes. Of course, the first limiting surface 16 can also have a curvature different from that of the arc-shaped side wall surface of the groove 19 (illustrated in the figure).
[0063] The gasket 7 is located in the groove 19, which can be understood as that part or all of the gasket 7 is located in the groove 19. Figure 3 As shown, part of the gasket 7 protrudes out of the pedal 1 , which can prevent the mounting seat 6 from directly contacting the pedal 1 , thereby protecting the pedal 1 .
[0064] In some embodiments, the pedal 1 is inserted above the support 2, and the pedal 1 and the support 2 are simply connected. Of course, the pedal 1 and the support 2 can also be connected by fasteners 5, bonding, etc., and the fixing method of the pedal 1 and the support 2 is not limited.
[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4As shown, the pedal 1 is formed with a folded portion folded downward, and the folded portion is formed with a plug-in slot 18, and the edge of the support member 2 is inserted into the plug-in slot 18, so that the positioning and installation of the pedal 1 and the support member 2 are simple. When the pedal 1 is an injection molded part, the plug-in slot 18 is easy to process, and the edge of the support member 2 folded upward is inserted into the plug-in slot 18, so that the pedal 1 and the support member 2 have a simple structure and are easy to assemble.
[0066] In some cases, a reinforcing rib is provided in the folded portion, and the reinforcing rib serves to strengthen the folded portion. The reinforcing rib is located in the insertion groove 18 to ensure the installation stability of the pedal 1 and the support member 2.
[0067] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the pedal 1 is formed with a mounting post 17, the mounting post 17 is formed with a first connection hole 171, the support member 2 is provided with a second connection hole 24, and the fastener 5 passes through the first connection hole 171 and is fastened in the first connection hole 171. Preferably, the first connection hole 171 is a blind hole to prevent water or impurities from entering the cavity 4 between the pedal 1 and the support member 2. The pedal 1 is formed with a plurality of mounting posts 17, and correspondingly, the support member 2 is provided with a corresponding number of second connection holes 24.
[0068] In some embodiments, the top surface 12 of the pedal 1 is formed with anti-slip protrusions to facilitate stepping.
[0069] The embodiment of the utility model further provides an electric vehicle, comprising a frame (not shown) and a pedal as described above, wherein the frame is fixedly connected with a mounting member 8.
