[0044] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0045] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 11 A side pedal 100 of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, and the present invention also provides a vehicle.

[0046] like Figure 3-Figure 11 As shown, the side pedal 100 of the vehicle of the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a shell 10, which is connected to the vehicle body 200. When the vehicle is in normal use, the side pedal 100 can be stepped on by the user and can buffer the collision on the side of the vehicle body 200.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side pedal 100 also includes: an airbag assembly 30, which extends in the first direction, and includes: a shaft 31 and an airbag body 32, the shaft 31 is provided with an inflation port 311 in the circumferential direction, the airbag body 32 and the inflation port 311 are connected, the airbag body 32 is wound around the outer periphery of the shaft 31 when it is in the storage position, and the airbag body 32 is expanded to the outside of the housing 10 when it is in the deployment position. Among them, the airbag body 32 is rectangular after being deployed, and the surface has good ductility and is soft. In this way, the surface of the airbag body 32 has good ductility, and can be wound around the shaft 31 in the uninflated state.

[0048] The airbag body 32 can be bonded to the shaft body 31 at the surface of the open end, while ensuring that the inflation port 311 of the shaft body 31 is inside the airbag body 32. Alternatively, the open end of the airbag body 32 can also be fixed to the flexible frame, and the flexible frame is fixed to the shaft body 31 to achieve a sealed and firm connection between the airbag body 32 and the shaft body 31.

[0049] And, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side pedal 100 further includes: an inflation component, which is disposed on the outer shell of the housing 10 and is used to inflate or deflate the airbag body 32 .

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the side pedal 100 further includes: a driving assembly 20, which is disposed in the accommodation space and fixed to an inner wall of one side of the housing 10 in the first direction, and the airbag assembly 30 is in transmission connection with the driving assembly 20, and the driving assembly 20 is used to drive the airbag body 32 to switch between the storage position and the deployment position. In other words, the driving assembly 20 can realize the winding and deployment of the airbag body 32, that is, while the airbag body 32 is inflated, the driving assembly 20 drives the airbag body 32 to deploy, thereby realizing the continuous expansion of the airbag body 32, and, while the airbag body 32 is deflated, the driving assembly 20 drives the airbag body 32 to wind, thereby realizing the storage of the airbag body 32.

[0051] Thus, when the vehicle falls into the water, the driving assembly 20 rotates forward to unfold the rolled airbag body 32, and the inflating assembly inflates, thereby expanding the compressed airbag body 32 to provide a certain buoyancy to the vehicle. And when the vehicle is out of trouble, the inflating assembly is deflated, the inflated airbag body 32 is compressed, and the driving assembly 20 rotates reversely to roll up the deployed airbag body 32.

[0052] Therefore, by arranging the airbag assembly 30, the inflation assembly and the driving assembly 20 in the side pedal 100, when the airbag body 32 is deployed, the driving assembly 20 can drive the shaft body 31 to rotate forward, and the inflation assembly can inflate the airbag body 32, so that the airbag assembly 30 is in the deployed position; and, when the airbag assembly 30 is stored, the driving assembly 20 can drive the shaft body 31 to rotate reversely, and the inflation assembly can deflate the airbag body 32, so that the airbag assembly 30 is in the stored position.

[0053] like Fig. 9 As shown, a convex strip 323 is provided inside the airbag body 32, and the convex strip 323 is provided in the middle of the airbag body 32 in the first direction and extends in the length direction of the airbag body 32. In the rolled state, if the upper and lower skins of the airbag body 32 are completely attached, the gas cannot be filled in, therefore, a convex strip 323 is provided inside the airbag body 32 along the extension direction of the airbag body 32, and the length of the convex strip 323 is the same as the length of the folded state of the airbag, and the setting of the convex strip 323 can ensure that there is a certain gap between the upper and lower skins of the airbag body 32 after folding, which is convenient for airflow circulation. After the airflow rushes into the airbag body 32, the airbag body 32 will have a certain rigidity, so that the airbag body 32 can be released from the rolled state through the driving assembly 20, and smoothly inflated and opened.

[0054] The convex strip 323 is a flexible convex strip 323 , so as to facilitate the winding of the airbag body 32 .

[0055] Reference Fig. 9As shown, the airbag body 32 includes: two side walls 321 and two top walls 322. The two side walls 321 are arranged on both sides of the two top walls 322 in the first direction, and the two top walls 322 are arranged opposite to each other, and the convex strip 323 is arranged on one of the top walls 322. Among them, since the size of the top wall 322 is larger than that of the side wall 321, the top wall 322 is more likely to be attached to the side wall 321, so the convex strip 323 is arranged on one of the top walls 322.

[0056] like Fig. 9 As shown, the thickness of the two top walls 322 gradually increases in the direction extending from both sides of the first direction to the middle. In other words, the thickness of the two top walls 322 of the airbag body 32 in the thickness direction is an uneven structure. Specifically, the thickness of the two top walls 322 is the largest at the middle position, so that after the airflow rushes into the airbag body 32, the airbag body 32 has a certain rigidity. In addition, the thickness of the two top walls 322 is the largest at the middle position, which can make the structural strength of the airbag body 32 itself higher, so that it is not easy to be cut by sharp objects in the inflated state.

[0057] Among them, refer to Fig.10 As shown, the shaft body 31 is a hollow structure, an air-charging channel is formed inside the shaft body 31, an air inlet 312 communicating with the air-charging channel is provided at one end of the shaft body 31 away from the driving assembly 20, and the air-charging port 311 is communicated with the air-charging channel. In other words, the shaft body 31 is configured as a hollow structure, so that the air-charging channel can be formed through the hollow structure, and an air inlet 312 is provided at the other end of the shaft body 31 away from the driving assembly 20, and the air inlet 312 is communicated with the air-charging channel, so that the air-charging channel is respectively connected with the air inlet 312 and the air-charging port 311.

[0058] That is, the airflow enters the inflation channel through the air inlet 312 , and then enters the airbag body 32 through the inflation port 311 , thereby achieving the expansion of the airbag body 32 .

[0059] Reference Fig.10 As shown, there can be only one inflation port 311, and the inflation port 311 extends continuously in the first direction of the shaft 31. That is, the inflation port 311 is in an elongated shape, and the elongated inflation port 311 can increase the speed of airflow, thereby increasing the expansion speed of the airbag body 32.

[0060] Alternatively, there may be multiple inflating ports 311, and the multiple inflating ports 311 are arranged at intervals in the first direction of the shaft body 31. That is, the multiple inflating ports 311 may be arranged at intervals in the first direction of the shaft body 31, and the sizes of the multiple inflating ports 311 may be adjusted. For example, the inflating ports 311 close to the air inlet 312 may be arranged smaller, and the inflating ports 311 far from the air inlet 312 may be arranged larger, so that the airflow is more uniform when entering the airbag body 32.

[0061] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side pedal 100 of the vehicle further includes: an inflatable pipe 40 and an inflatable member, the inflatable member is connected to one end of the inflatable pipe 40, the inflatable channel is arranged on the other side of the housing 10 in the first direction, and the other end of the inflatable pipe 40 is connected to the air inlet 312. In other words, the airbag assembly 30 is inflated by the inflatable member. Further, an inflatable pipe 40 for sealing and connection is also arranged between the inflatable member and the airbag assembly 30, that is, one end of the inflatable pipe 40 is connected to the inflatable member, and the other end of the inflatable pipe 40 is connected to the air inlet 312.

[0062] The inflatable member is a high-pressure gas generating device, and the inflatable member is connected to a power battery through a power line, that is, the power battery provides electrical energy to the inflatable member.

[0063] In addition, the driving member 21 and the inflator are electrically connected to the vehicle controller, and the operation of the driving member 21 and the inflator is controlled through the central control large screen. That is, when the airbag assembly 30 needs to be opened, the inflator is controlled to inflate and the driving member 21 is controlled to rotate forward; and when the airbag assembly 30 needs to be deflated, the inflator is controlled to deflate and the driving member 21 is controlled to rotate reversely.

[0064] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the inflation pipe 40 includes: a connecting elbow 41 and a valve, the valve is arranged in the connecting elbow 41, one end of the connecting elbow 41 is connected to the inflatable member and the other end is connected to the air inlet 312. That is, the inflation pipe 40 is connected to the inflatable member and the air inlet 312 respectively, that is, the inflatable member, the inflation pipe 40 and the shaft body 31 are connected to each other, so that when the inflatable member is inflated or deflated, the airbag body 32 can be inflated or deflated.

[0065] The inflatable elbow is a bent pipe, so when the inflatable member is connected to the inflatable elbow, the inflatable member does not need to be arranged at one end of the shell 10 in the first direction, so that the position of the inflatable member can be reasonably arranged.

[0066] In addition, the valve is a two-way valve, that is, the valve can ensure two-way flow of gas during inflation and deflating, and maintain sealing when filled with gas.

[0067] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the drive assembly 20 includes: a drive member 21 and a first transmission member 22, the first transmission member 22 and the drive member 21 are in transmission cooperation, and a second transmission member 313 is provided on the shaft 31, and the first transmission member 22 and the second transmission member 313 are in transmission cooperation. Among them, the first transmission member 22 and the second transmission member 313 constitute a transmission mechanism and a deceleration mechanism. Since the rotation speed of the drive member 21 is generally fast, the speed change is achieved by the first transmission member 22 and the second transmission member 313, which is convenient for controlling the retraction and release of the airbag body 32 at a suitable speed, and at the same time, it is convenient for the arrangement of the drive assembly 20.

[0068] The first transmission member 22 is sleeved on the driving shaft of the driving member 21 , and the second transmission member 313 is sleeved on the shaft body 31 and rotates coaxially with the shaft body 31 .

[0070] Specifically, the driving member 21 may be a driving motor, and the first transmission member 22 and the second transmission member 313 are gears.

[0071] Furthermore, the driving member 21 is provided with a driving member 21 mounting threaded hole, and the driving member 21 can be fixed on the housing 10 through the driving member 21 mounting threaded hole.

[0072] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the driving assembly 20 further includes: a bearing 23, which is arranged at one side of the driving member 21 and matches with one end of the shaft body 31. The bearing 23 includes: a bearing 23 stator and a bearing 23 rotor, the bearing 23 stator is fixedly connected to the housing 10, the bearing 23 rotor is fixedly connected to the shaft body 31, and the bearing 23 rotor rotates relative to the bearing 23 stator, so that the shaft body 31 can rotate relative to the housing 10. In addition, there is one bearing 23 at the driving assembly 20 and one at the inflatable assembly, so that the shaft body 31 can rotate smoothly and stably relative to the housing 10.

[0073] The stator of the bearing 23 is provided with a threaded hole for mounting the bearing 23 , and the stator of the bearing 23 can be fixed on the housing 10 through the threaded hole for mounting the bearing 23 .

[0074] Reference Figure 4As shown, the housing 10 includes: a body 11 and a bottom plate 12, the bottom plate 12 is arranged at the lower side of the body 11 in the second direction, and the bottom plate 12 is rotatably fixed to the body 11, so that when the airbag body 32 is in the deployment position, the bottom plate 12 opens the accommodation space. Among them, the body 11 may include a fixed frame and an upper cover plate, the fixed frame includes four side plates, the fixed frame and the upper cover plate are an integrally formed structure, and can be made of metal or composite materials, the fixed frame is a cube, and the size can be the same as that of the existing vehicle side pedal 100, the difference is that it is only a frame structure, and the inside of the body 11 of the side pedal 100 is a hollow structure, which is convenient for placing the airbag assembly 30 and the drive assembly 20 therein.

[0075] Furthermore, the bottom plate 12 and the main body 11 are preferably connected by a hinge at one end and mechanically snap-fitted at the other end to achieve opening and closing, or can be opened and closed by motor control.

[0076] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the bottom plate 12 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 121, and the plurality of drainage holes 121 are arranged at intervals in the first direction and / or the third direction. Thus, by providing a plurality of drainage holes 121 on the bottom plate 12, it is convenient for the accumulated water inside the side pedal 100 to flow out after the vehicle wades.

That is, the side pedal 100 and the vehicle body 200 are fixedly connected together by using the fixing bracket 50. The connection method is not limited to screwing, bonding or welding.

[0078] like Fig.11 As shown, the fixing bracket 50 includes: a first connecting plate 51, a second connecting plate 52 and a third connecting plate 53, the second connecting plate 52 is connected between the first connecting plate 51 and the third connecting plate 53, the first connecting plate 51 is used to be fixedly connected to the vehicle body 200, and the second connecting plate 52 is used to be fixedly connected to the housing 10. In other words, the mounting bracket includes the first connecting plate 51, the second connecting plate 52 and the third connecting plate 53, the first connecting plate 51 and the second connecting plate 52 are arranged in parallel, and are respectively connected to the side walls 321 at both ends of the third connecting plate 53, and a plurality of bolt holes are arranged on the first connecting plate 51 and the second connecting plate 52, and the side pedal 100 is connected to the vehicle body 200 through the mounting bracket.
