Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0029] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as "arrangement", "installation", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; they can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally formed; they can be mechanically connected; they can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , a pressing type unlocking and locking foot pad, comprising a support base 100, a connection base 200, a first pressing part 300, a second pressing part 400, a first locking part 500, a second locking part 600, and a reset part 700;

[0031] On the support base 100, a first mounting ear 110 and a second mounting ear 120 are oppositely arranged to form a rotating groove 130. A first mounting groove 111 is provided on the first mounting ear 110, and a second mounting groove 121 is provided on the second mounting ear 120;

[0032] The connection base 200 is installed on the footrest and extends into the rotating groove 130;

[0033] The first pressing part 300 is movably arranged in the first mounting groove 111, and the second pressing part 400 is movably arranged in the second mounting groove 121;

[0034] The first locking part 500 and the second locking part 600 are movably arranged on the connection base 200 and are arranged on both sides of the connection base 200;

[0035] The reset part 700 is arranged between the first locking part 500 and the second locking part 600;

[0036] At least a part of the first locking portion 500 and the second locking portion 600 are respectively inserted into the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 121 to limit the support base 100 to be rotatably connected to the connection base 200. Or, when the first pressing portion 300 and the second pressing portion 400 are pressed, they can push the first locking portion 500 and the second locking portion 600 to be withdrawn from the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 121 respectively, so that the support base 100 is separated from the connection base 200.

At this time, when the first pressing portion 300 and the second pressing portion 400 are pressed, the first locking portion 500 and the second locking portion 600 can be pushed to move towards each other until the first locking portion 500 and the second locking portion 600 are completely retracted into the third installation groove 210 on the connection base 200, so that the first locking portion 500 and the second locking portion 600 will not cause interference to the installation of the connection base 200 in the rotation groove 130;

[0039] 2) Further, continue to push the connection base 200 until the first locking portion 500 is arranged opposite to the first installation groove 111 on the first installation ear 110, and the second locking portion 600 is arranged opposite to the second installation groove 121 on the second installation ear 120. At this time, release the first pressing portion 300 and the second pressing portion 400, and make the first locking portion 500 and the second locking portion 600 move away from each other again under the action of the reset member 700, so that the first locking portion 500 pushes the first pressing portion 300 to extend into the first installation groove 111 together, and the second locking portion 600 pushes the second pressing portion 400 to extend into the second installation groove 121 together, realizing the limit between the support base 100 and the connection base 200. At the same time, it can also make the first locking portion 500 rotate in the first installation groove 111 and the second locking portion 600 rotate in the second installation groove 121 to meet the support requirements of different planes;

[0040] 3) The disassembly process is opposite to the installation process and will not be elaborated here; the advantages of the present utility model are: through the above structure, the locking portion can be directly pushed to unlock by pressing, realizing quick disassembly and assembly while improving the service life, and having very good practicability.
