[0015] For the vehicle welcome pedal of the present utility model, when the vehicle is driving on a narrow section, the extension pedal will be first squeezed, so that the rear part of the extension pedal directly squeezes the second spring. At the same time, the extrusion sleeve is driven by the transmission link to compress the first spring, so that the extension pedal retracts into the main body pedal, reducing the width of the pedal. This avoids damage to the pedal or the vehicle body due to the forced extension of a fixed width. Since the extension pedal does not retract into the main body pedal when not squeezed, the width of the pedal is ensured, facilitating the user to step on it. The extension pedal can automatically retract when not in use, without affecting the vehicle's passing performance and aesthetics. At the same time, it provides an additional foot area when needed, improving the quality of pedal use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Screws 17 are screwed into the inside of the assembly seats 16. Grips 18 are installed at the front ends of the screws 17. By screwing the screws 17 out of the assembly seats 16 and then screwing them into the inside of the limiting pieces 14 and the limiting seats 15, the movement of the extended pedal 2 can be restricted, so that the extended pedal 2 can retract without the need for a wider pedal, ensuring the aesthetics of the pedal.

[0028] In this solution, the extended pedal 2 is added, so that when the vehicle is driving on a narrow section, the extended pedal 2 will be squeezed first, causing the rear part of the extended pedal 2 to directly squeeze the second spring 9. At the same time, the extrusion sleeve 6 is driven by the transmission connecting rod 11 to compress the first spring 7, so that the extended pedal 2 retracts into the main pedal 1, making the width of the pedal narrower, avoiding damage to the pedal or the vehicle body due to the forced extension of the fixed width. Moreover, since the extended pedal 2 will not retract into the main pedal 1 when not being squeezed, the width of the pedal is guaranteed, which is convenient for the user to step on. The extended pedal 2 can automatically retract when not in use, without affecting the passing performance and aesthetics of the vehicle. At the same time, it provides an additional foot area when needed, improving the quality of pedal use. At the same time, by screwing out the screw rod 17 from the assembly seat 16 and then screwing it into the internal parts of the limit piece 14 and the limit seat 15, the movement of the extended pedal 2 can be restricted, so that the extended pedal 2 can retract when a wider pedal is not required, ensuring the aesthetics of the pedal.
