[0003] However, in the prior art, when the lateral layout space of the car is small, layout difficulties will arise. Many car models achieve pedal layout by reducing the size of the pedal in the width direction. However, after the pedal width is reduced, it will directly affect the user experience and even pose a risk of stepping into empty space when getting on or off the car. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a flip-up side step for a car, so as to solve the problem that the pedal is difficult to install due to the small lateral arrangement space of the car in the prior art.

[0005] The utility model solves the technical problem by adopting a technical solution of a flip-type side step for a car, wherein the pedal body has a first position and a second position, and the pedal body can be flipped relative to the vehicle body to switch between the first position and the second position at will;

[0006] The pedal body has a treading surface. When in the first position, the treading surface forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane or is parallel to the horizontal plane; when in the second position, the treading surface forms an acute angle with the vertical plane or is parallel to the vertical plane.

[0007] Furthermore, the angle between the tread surface and the horizontal plane is denoted as α, and when in the first position, 0°≤α≤5°.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0010] A fixing frame fixed on the vehicle body, the fixing frame having a first hinge portion and a second hinge portion;

[0011] A driving assembly, the driving assembly includes a first connecting member, a second connecting member and a third connecting member, the third connecting member has a third hinged portion, a fourth hinged portion and a fixed portion, the fourth hinged portion is located between the third hinged portion and the fixed portion; the fixed portion is fixedly connected to the pedal body, one end of the first connecting member is hinged to the first hinged portion, and the other end of the first connecting member is hinged to the third hinged portion; one end of the second connecting member is hinged to the second hinged portion, and the other end of the second connecting member is hinged to the fourth hinged portion.

[0012] Further, the distance from the central axis of the second hinged part to the central axis of the fourth hinged part is L1, the distance from the central axis of the first hinged part to the central axis of the third hinged part is L2, the distance from the central axis of the first hinged part to the central axis of the second hinged part is L3, the distance from the central axis of the third hinged part to the central axis of the fourth hinged part is L4, and L1>L2>L3≥L4.

[0013] Furthermore, when the pedal body flips from the first position to the second position, or flips from the second position to the first position, the rotation angle of the first connecting member is between 75° and 125°.

[0014] Further, when the pedal body is in the second position, the drive assembly is located inside the pedal body.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) The pedal body is configured to be foldable and unfoldable. When the pedal body is in a first position, the angle between the tread surface and the horizontal plane is acute or parallel, and the pedal body is in an unfolded state, which is convenient for passengers and drivers to step on when getting on and off the vehicle. When the pedal body is in a second position, the angle between the tread surface and the vertical plane is acute or parallel, and the pedal body is in a folded state. At this time, the lateral space occupied by the pedal body can be reduced, so as to facilitate the installation of the pedal body in a vehicle with a smaller lateral space.
