[0026] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If this specific posture changes, then the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0027] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a light-emitting side step includes:
[0028] A pedal body 100, which is provided with a cavity having an opening 105 at the upper end therein;
[0029] A sensor module 101, which is arranged in the cavity. The sensor module 101 includes a pressure sensor, and a light-emitting module 102 is abutted on the sensor module 101. The light-emitting module 102 is electrically connected to the sensor module 101. The light emitted by the light-emitting module 102 is emitted out of the pedal body 100 through the opening 105, and the light-emitting module 102 and / or the sensor module 101 are used to be electrically connected to a power supply module.
[0030] In this embodiment, when the user steps on the pedal, the pedaling force of the sole is first transmitted to the pedaling position of the light emitting module 102. The light emitting module 102 transmits the force to the sensor module 101. After receiving the pressure signal, the sensor module 101 converts the pressure signal into a trigger signal and transmits it to the light emitting module 102. The light emitting module 102 lights up, and the user no longer needs to manually turn on the light on the side pedal. The user experience is better and the human-computer interaction function is better.
[0031] Preferably, the cavity is divided into a light-emitting cavity 103 and a sensing cavity 104 , the light-emitting cavity 103 is connected with the sensing cavity 104 , the light-emitting module 102 is arranged in the light-emitting cavity 103 , and the light-emitting module 102 can close the opening 105 on the pedal body 100 , and the sensor module 101 is arranged in the sensing cavity 104 .
[0032] In this embodiment, the light-emitting cavity 103 and the sensing cavity 104 are both located in the cavity, the light-emitting cavity 103 is located above the sensing cavity 104, and the opening 105 on the light-emitting cavity 103 is used as a light emission outlet to ensure that the light emitted by the light-emitting module 102 can be emitted smoothly.

[0033] Further preferably, a limiting plate 106 is provided on the edges of the openings 105 on both sides of the pedal body 100, and the light-emitting module 102 includes a lampshade 117, on which a protrusion 107 is integrally provided to form a step between the lampshade 117, and when the lampshade 117 is installed in the cavity, the step surface of the step abuts against the limiting plate 106, and the outer end surface of the protrusion 107 protrudes beyond the outer end surface of the limiting plate 106 or is flush with the outer end surface of the limiting plate 106.
[0034] In this embodiment, the light-emitting module 102 includes a lampshade 117, on which a protrusion 107 is integrally provided, and a step surface is formed between the protrusion 107 and the lampshade 117. When the lampshade 117 is installed in the light-emitting cavity 103, the step surface of the step abuts against the limiting plate 106, thereby limiting the position of the light-emitting module to prevent the light-emitting module 102 from escaping from the cavity, and the light emitted by the lamp group 119 is emitted through the protrusion 107. In order to enable the sole of the foot to accurately trigger the pressure sensor after stepping on the pedal body 100, it is preferred to set the outer end surface of the protrusion 107 to protrude from the outer end surface of the limiting plate 106 to increase the contact area between the sole of the foot and the light-emitting module 102, so that the pressure sensor can receive a more accurate pressure signal.

The connection wire of the pressure sensor passes through the second wire harness installation cavity 112 and extends into the first wire harness installation cavity 111, and then extends out of the pedal body 100 to be wire-connected to an external control module 123. Preferably, the control module 102 is set as the vehicle's on-board computer module, which can also serve as a power supply module to provide power for the light-emitting module 102. The connection wire of the light-emitting module 102 passes through the second wire harness installation cavity 112 and then extends into the first wire harness installation cavity 111, and then also extends out of the pedal body 100 to be wire-connected to the control module 123; of course, a circuit board can also be provided in the lamp housing 118, using the circuit board as the control unit, the lamp group 119 is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the circuit board in the lamp housing 118.

[0042] In this embodiment, both the sensor module 101 and the light-emitting module 102 pass through the second wire harness installation cavity 112. To ensure that their connecting wires will not break due to large swings in the second wire harness installation cavity 112, and at the same time for the sake of a neat layout, a wire bundling portion 113 is provided at the end of the light-emitting module 102. The connecting wires on the sensor module 101 and the light-emitting module 102 are wound around the wire bundling portion 113, and when the end cover 110 is fixed to the pedal body, the end cover 110 abuts against the wire bundling portion 113 to prevent the connecting wires from detaching from the wire bundling portion 113.
[0043] Further preferably, a first limiting groove 114 is provided on the cavity wall of the sensing cavity 104, a second limiting groove 115 is provided on the sensor module 101, and a limiting block 116 is provided on the light-emitting module 102.
