[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Please refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 The present invention describes a pedal assembly and a mobility scooter having the same according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pedal assembly of the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a frame 1 and a pedal 2. The frame 1 is provided with a seat mounting position 11, and the pedal 2 comprises a pedal body 21 and a first baffle 22, the pedal body 21 is mounted on the frame 1, a seat mounting area 211 is provided on the pedal body 21, and the first baffle 22 is detachably mounted in the seat mounting area 211, and the first baffle 22 covers the seat mounting position 11.

[0031] According to the pedal assembly of the embodiment of the utility model, when the user needs to install a seat on the pedal 2, the first baffle 22 can be removed from the seat installation area 211 to expose the seat installation position 11, and the user can place the seat bracket in the seat installation area 211 so that the seat bracket is connected to the seat installation position 11. When the user does not need the seat and removes the seat, the first baffle 22 can be installed in the seat installation area 211 and cover the seat installation position 11, thereby increasing the pedal area of ​​the pedal 2 and making the upper surface of the pedal 2 more regular. Therefore, the structural design of the pedal assembly of the embodiment of the utility model is reasonable, which can not only facilitate the user to stand and ride, but also facilitate the user to install a seat on the pedal 2.

[0032] Optionally, the pedal 2 further includes a first fastener (not shown), which is passed through the first baffle 22 and connected to the pedal body 21. For example, the first fastener is a threaded member, which passes through the first baffle 22 and is screwed on the pedal body 21 to fix the first baffle 22.

[0033] The first fastener may be one or more. In the example of the present application, there are two first fasteners, which are arranged on the first baffle 22 along the front and rear intervals. The pedal assembly of the embodiment of the utility model can improve the firmness of the first baffle 22 by fixing the first baffle 22 in the above manner, and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0034] In other examples, the pedal 2 further includes a first fastener, which is passed through the first baffle plate 22 and screwed into the seat mounting position 11. It can be understood that the first fastener is a threaded member, which passes through the first baffle plate 22 and is screwed onto the frame 1. In other words, the seat mounting position 11 can be used not only to fix the seat bracket but also to fix the first baffle plate 22, thereby reducing the number of openings on the pedal 2 and simplifying the production process.

[0035] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two seat installation areas 211, and the two seat installation areas 211 are arranged along the width direction of the frame 1 (such as Figure 1The first baffles 22 are arranged on both sides of the pedal body 21 (in the left-right direction of the vehicle frame 1), and there are two first baffles 22, which correspond to the two seat installation areas 211 one by one. Since the two seat installation areas 211 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction of the vehicle frame 1, when the seat is installed on the pedal 2, the seat bracket and the pedal 2 can have two left and right fixed points, thereby improving the firmness of the seat installation. On the other hand, by arranging the two seat installation areas 211 at intervals along the left-right direction of the vehicle frame 1, the main load-bearing area of ​​the pedal 2 can be avoided, that is, the center of gravity of the user is concentrated at the position of the pedal body 21, thereby extending the service life of the pedal 2.

[0036] In the example of this application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the seat mounting area 211 is a notch structure, and the first baffle 22 is embedded in the seat mounting area 211. The upper end surface of the first baffle 22 is flush with the upper end surface of the pedal body 21, and the side wall surface of the first baffle 22 is flush with the side wall surface of the pedal body 21. In this way, the flatness of the upper wall surface and the side wall surface of the pedal 2 can be improved, the comfort of the user when using it can be improved, and the integrity of the pedal 2 can be improved and the appearance can be beautiful.

[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the pedal assembly also includes a control compartment 3, which is arranged below the pedal 2, and a maintenance port 212 is provided on the pedal body 21, which is connected to the control compartment 3. The pedal 2 also includes a second baffle 23, which is detachably sealed at the position of the maintenance port 212. It can be understood that the controller is installed in the control compartment 3. When the controller needs to be repaired, it is not necessary to remove the entire pedal 2, but only to remove the second baffle 23 from the pedal body 21 to expose the maintenance port 212, so that the controller can be repaired, thereby facilitating the repair of the mobility scooter.

[0038] Optionally, the second baffle plate 23 and the pedal body 21 may be connected by screwing a threaded member or by snapping together. The present application does not specifically limit the specific installation structure of the second baffle plate 23 .

[0039] For example, the pedal assembly further includes a rubber pad (not shown), which is arranged on the pedal 2 and covers the pedal body 21, the first baffle plate 22 and the second baffle plate 23. Since the rubber pad covers the pedal 2, the first baffle plate 22 and the second baffle plate 23 can be shielded and hidden, which can prevent dust or rain from entering the installation gap between the first baffle plate 22 and the second baffle plate 23, and make the appearance of the scooter beautiful and the integrity better.

[0040] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pedal assembly further includes a tail plate 4, which includes a tail plate body 41 and a third baffle 42, and the tail plate body 41 is arranged at the rear end of the pedal body 21. It can be understood that the tail plate body 41 gradually extends upward from the front to the rear, and the tail plate body 41 can serve as a fender for the rear wheels.

[0041] The upper end surface of the tailgate body 41 is provided with a basket mounting position 412, and the third baffle plate 42 is detachably connected to the tailgate body 41 and covers the basket mounting position 412. When the user needs to install a basket on the rear end of the pedal assembly (the tailgate body 41), the third baffle plate 42 can be removed from the tailgate body 41 to expose the basket mounting position 412, and then the basket can be fixed on the basket mounting position 412. When the user does not need a basket, the third baffle plate 42 can be covered on the basket mounting position 412 to improve the integrity of the tailgate 4 and prevent impurities from entering the holes of the basket mounting position 412.

[0042] For example, there may be three vehicle basket mounting positions 412 , and the three vehicle basket mounting positions 412 are arranged in a triangle to improve the firmness of the vehicle basket installation.

[0043] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, a sink groove 411 is provided on the tailgate body 41, and the third baffle plate 42 is installed in the sink groove 411. The upper end surface of the third baffle plate 42 is flush with the upper end surface of the tailgate body 41, and the third baffle plate 42 is clamped with the tailgate body 41. The pedal assembly of the embodiment of the utility model can facilitate the assembly of the third baffle plate 42 by clamping the third baffle plate 42 with the tailgate body 41. Since the upper end surface of the third baffle plate 42 is flush with the upper end surface of the tailgate body 41, the upper end surface of the tailgate 4 can be made relatively flat, so as to improve the integrity of the tailgate 4 and have a beautiful appearance.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the pedal assembly further includes a battery compartment 6 and a side guard plate 5, the battery compartment 6 is mounted on the frame 1 and is disposed below the pedal 2, the lower end of the side guard plate 5 is connected to at least one of the frame 1 and the battery compartment 6, and the upper end of the side guard plate 5 is connected to the pedal 2. For example, the lower end of the side guard plate 5 is connected to the frame 1.

[0045] According to the pedal assembly of the embodiment of the utility model, the side guard plate 5 is arranged on one side of the width direction of the frame 1, and the lower end of the side guard plate 5 is connected to the battery compartment 6, and the upper end of the side guard plate 5 is connected to the pedal 2. Therefore, the pedal 2 and the frame 1 can be fixed by the side guard plate 5, the overall structural strength of the pedal assembly can be improved, and the anti-torsion performance and driving stability of the pedal assembly can be better, and the side of the frame 1 can be protected by the side guard plate 5, and the anti-collision ability of the pedal assembly can be improved.

[0046] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the side guard plate 5 has a shielding portion 53, which is located below the frame 1 and is arranged on one side of the battery compartment 6 along the width direction of the frame 1. It can be understood that the shielding portion 53 can protect the side wall of the battery compartment 6 to reduce the risk of damage to the battery inside the battery compartment 6 when the battery compartment 6 collides, thereby improving the safety performance of the scooter.

[0047] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 is provided with an ear seat 12, which extends downward and is connected to the shielding portion 53. It can be understood that the shielding portion 53 is connected to the frame 1 through the ear seat 12, and when the side guard plate 5 is hit, the side guard plate 5 can transfer the pressure to the frame 1 through the shielding portion 53 and the ear seat 12. Compared with the solution of connecting the shielding portion 53 to the battery compartment 6, the present application can reduce the probability of transmitting the collision force to the battery compartment 6, so as to improve the reliability of the battery operation.

[0048] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the side guard plate 5 includes a front side guard plate 51 and a rear side guard plate 52, and the front side guard plate 51 and the rear side guard plate 52 are arranged at intervals along the front-to-back direction of the frame 1, and the front side guard plate 51 covers at least a portion of the front side of the frame 1, and the rear side guard plate 52 covers at least a portion of the rear side of the frame 1. It can be understood that the front side guard plate 51 and the rear side guard plate 52 are spaced apart by a preset distance along the front-to-back direction so as to expose a part of the longitudinal beam structure of the frame 1. Since the front side guard plate 51 covers at least a portion of the front side of the frame 1, and the rear side guard plate 52 covers at least a portion of the rear side of the frame 1, the key positions of the frame 1 (i.e., the front and rear ends of the frame 1) that are prone to collision can be protected, and the consumables of the side guard plate 5 can be saved, and the pedal assembly has good integrity and beautiful appearance.

[0049] In the example of the present application, the front side guard plate 51 and the rear side guard plate 52 are both two pieces, that is, the two front side guard plates 51 are symmetrically arranged at the front end of the frame 1, and the two rear side guard plates 52 are symmetrically arranged at the rear end of the frame 1.

[0050] A walking vehicle according to another embodiment of the present invention comprises the pedal assembly of the present invention. For example, the walking vehicle is an electric scooter.

[0051] According to the scooter of the embodiment of the present utility model, when the user needs to install a seat on the pedal 2, the first baffle 22 can be removed from the seat installation area 211 to expose the seat installation position 11, and the user can place the seat bracket in the seat installation area 211 so that the seat bracket is connected to the seat installation position 11. When the user does not need the seat and removes the seat, the first baffle 22 can be installed in the seat installation area 211 and cover the seat installation position 11, thereby increasing the pedal area of ​​the pedal 2 and making the upper surface of the pedal 2 more regular. Therefore, the structural design of the pedal assembly of the scooter of the embodiment of the present utility model is reasonable, which can facilitate users to stand and ride, and can also facilitate users to install a seat on the pedal 2.
