[0032] The vehicle step 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0033] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the vehicle step 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a support arm 100 and a pedal 200.

[0034] The support arm 100 is installed on both sides of the battery box 10 and extends outward from the battery box 10. The pedal 200 is installed on the two support arms 100 through a rotating shaft 201 and rotates between a support position and an avoidance position. Among them, the support arm 100 is configured with a support portion. When the pedal 200 rotates to the support position, the support portion supports the bottom of the pedal 200, and when the pedal 200 is in the avoidance position, it is located above the support arm 100.

[0035] According to the vehicle step 1 of the embodiment of the present utility model, the support arms 100 are installed on both sides of the battery box 10 and extend outward. The pedal 200 is connected to the support arms 100 through a rotating shaft 201. When the pedal 200 is not in use (i.e., the avoidance position), the pedal 200 can be retracted closely against the support arms 100, thereby reducing the occupied space. The pedal 200 can rotate freely between the support position and the avoidance position, and can be conveniently stored above the support arms 100 while ensuring the load-bearing capacity, achieving the maximization of space utilization. In addition, when the pedal 200 is in the avoidance position, it will not interfere with the operation or maintenance of other parts of the vehicle. Such a design enables the vehicle step 1 to be conveniently opened or retracted in a narrow environment, facilitating the vehicle to drive or park in a place with a narrow space. Among them, when the pedal 200 rotates to the support position, the bottom of the pedal 200 is supported by the support portion 101, and the pedal 200 is perpendicular to the support arms 100, forming a stable platform for passengers or operators to stand or step on. When the pedal 200 rotates to the avoidance position, the pedal 200 will be located above the support arms 100 and closely adhere to the support arms 100, without occupying the horizontal space.

[0036] Therefore, the vehicle step according to the embodiment of the present utility model has the advantages of being convenient to open and retract, small occupied space, and reduced interference.

[0037] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the pedal 200 includes a pedal portion 210, a first connecting arm 220, and a second connecting arm 230. The pedal portion 210 is used for stepping. The first connecting arm 220 is connected to the inner side of one end of the pedal portion 210, and the first connecting arm 220 is hingedly connected to the rotating shaft of one side support arm 100. The second connecting arm 230 is connected to the inner side of the other end of the pedal portion 210, and the second connecting arm 230 is hingedly connected to the rotating shaft of the other side support arm 100. The pedal portion 210 is hingedly connected to the support arms 100 on both sides through the first connecting arm 220 and the second connecting arm 220 respectively. This structure can effectively disperse the weight and pressure received by the pedal portion 210, enhance the stability of the pedal 200 during use, and avoid tilting or damage caused by unilateral force.

[0038] Due to the use of a hinge structure between the first connecting arm 220 and the second connecting arm 220 and the support arms 100, the pedal 200 can rotate freely between the support position and the avoidance position. This structure enables the pedal 200 to be easily retracted when not in use and quickly lowered when needed, improving the convenience of use. The connecting arms 100 on both sides ensure uniform distribution of the load, thereby reducing the risk of damage or deformation of the pedal 200 caused by local force.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2As shown, the inner side of the pedal 200 is configured with a first downward flanging 202, and the first downward flanging 202 continuously extends along the first connecting arm 220, the pedal part 210, and the second connecting arm 230. The outer side of the pedal 200 is configured with a second downward flanging 203, and the second downward flanging 203 is connected to the other side of the pedal part 210, and the second downward flanging 203 continuously extends along the first connecting arm 220, the pedal part 210, and the second connecting arm 230.

[0040] The structures of the first downward flanging 202 and the second downward flanging 203 can effectively increase the overall structural strength of the pedal 200, making the pedal 200 less likely to deform when stressed, and enhancing its anti-torsion and anti-bending capabilities. This is very important for bearing the user's weight and the dynamic loads generated by exercise. At the same time, the presence of the first downward flanging 202 and the second downward flanging 203 expands the contact area between the pedal 200 and the support structure, thereby enhancing its stability. When the user stands, the pedal 200 is not likely to shake, which helps to improve the safety and comfort of use.

[0041] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the support arms 100 on both sides each include a mounting arm 110, an outer edge 120, and a connecting edge 130. The mounting arm 110 is mounted on the battery box 10. The outer edge 120 is provided on the outer side of the mounting arm 110 and is arranged parallel to the mounting arm, and the rotating shafts 201 are respectively hinged to the mounting arm 110 and the outer edge 120. The connecting edge 130 is connected to the bottom between the mounting arm 110 and the outer edge 120, and a rotating shaft groove for accommodating the rotating shaft is formed between the mounting arm 110, the connecting edge 130, and the outer edge 120.

[0042] The outer edge 120 is hinged to the mounting arm 110 through the rotating shaft 201, allowing the pedal 200 to perform flexible rotating actions when unfolding and folding, which is convenient for the user to operate the step ladder. The connecting edge 130, as the connecting part between the mounting arm 110 and the outer edge 120, plays a role in connecting the overall structure and increases the stability of the pedal 200.

[0043] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the support arms 100 on both sides further include a support edge 140. The support edge 140 is connected to the side of the connecting edge 130 away from the battery box 10, and the support edge 140 forms a support part to support the bottom of the pedal 200.

[0044] The support edge 140 constitutes the support portion 101, directly supporting the bottom of the pedal 200. This structure can effectively disperse the weight borne by the pedal 200, making the pedal 200 more stable when in use, reducing the possibility of shaking or sinking, and improving the safety of use. The existence of the support edge 140 increases the contact area between the pedal 200 and the support arm 100, thereby providing better stability. When the user stands on the pedal 200, the support edge 140 can effectively resist the force from the vertical direction to prevent the pedal 200 from tilting or shifting.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a limit block 204 is constructed at the bottom of the pedal 200, and a spring piece 101 is constructed in the shaft groove of the support arm 100. When the pedal 200 is in the avoidance position, the spring piece is engaged with the limit block 204.

[0046] The main function of the limit block 204 is to limit the range of motion of the pedal 200, to prevent the pedal 200 from excessively tilting or moving during use or retraction, thereby ensuring that the pedal 200 always remains between the avoidance position and the support position. When the pedal 200 is in the avoidance position, the spring piece engages with the limit block 204, and the limit block 204 can effectively reduce the safety risks caused by accidental sliding or displacement of the pedal 200, and ensure the reliability of the pedal 200 in the avoidance position.

[0047] When the pedal 200 is in the avoidance position, the spring piece 101 can be engaged with the limit block 202 to form a self-locking mechanism. This structure can ensure that the pedal 200 remains reliably fixed in the avoidance position to prevent accidental loosening and falling. When the user wants to turn the pedal 200 from the avoidance position to the support position, the structure of the spring piece 101 makes this transition relatively easy, and the user can easily operate the pedal 200 without the need for additional complex devices.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the angle between the pedal 200 at the supporting position and the avoiding position is a right angle.

[0049] When the pedal 200 is in the supporting position, the pedal 200 and the battery frame 10 are in a vertical structure, ensuring that the pedal 200 can be stably deployed to provide a safe platform for passengers to get on and off the vehicle. When the pedal 200 is in the avoiding position, the pedal 200 and the battery frame 10 are in a parallel structure, which reduces the space occupied by the pedal 200 when not in use. In addition, the angle between the pedal 200 in the supporting position and the avoiding position is a right angle. The right-angle structure makes the transition between the pedal 200 in the supporting position and the avoiding position more natural and easier to operate, so that the pedal 200 can be used more conveniently.

[0050] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, on both sides, the mounting arms 210 are configured with widened portions 102 with increased width on the outer side of the battery box 10. The most important function of the widened portion 102 is to ensure that when the mounting arm 110 approaches the battery box 10, there will be no interference with the battery box 10. By increasing the width between the mounting arm 210 and the battery box 10, the convenience during vehicle operation or maintenance can be improved. At the same time, the widened portion 102 provides greater shape stiffness, enhancing the anti-torsion ability of the mounting arm 210 during use, enabling the pedal 200 to maintain better shape stability when bearing weight and ensuring user safety.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the pedal 200 is configured with a plurality of hollow holes 205 that penetrate in the thickness direction. Among them, the plurality of hollow holes 205 are symmetrically and evenly distributed on the pedal 200, and the upper surface of the pedal 200 is configured with a follow-shaped edge.

[0052] By providing a structure with a plurality of hollow holes 205 on the pedal 200, the overall weight of the pedal 200 can be significantly reduced, lightening the burden on the vehicle, improving fuel economy and operation flexibility. At the same time, the symmetrically and evenly distributed hollow holes 205 not only effectively reduce weight in terms of function but also enhance the overall aesthetics. The follow-shaped setting of the edge can increase the friction on the surface of the pedal 200, making the user's foot have a stronger grip on the pedal 200 during use, reducing the risk of slipping, improving safety, and at the same time providing a better touch and support feeling.
