A first top block 231 is provided on the return wheel 230 protruding radially. The stop block 211 can abut against the first top block 231, and the first top block 231 can abut against the pawl 220 to separate the pawl 220 from the ratchet wheel 210. The second spring 250 is disposed between the connection seat 110 and the ratchet wheel 210, and the second spring 250 is used to drive the ratchet wheel 210 to rotate and reset.
[0034] The rotating shaft 130 is fixedly connected to the foot pedal 120, and the rotating shaft 130 is rotatably connected to the connection seat 110, enabling the foot pedal 120 to rotate on the connection seat 110. The ratchet wheel 210 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 130, the pawl 220 is rotatably connected to the connection seat 110, and the first spring 240 is disposed between the connection seat 110 and the pawl 220. Through the first spring 240, the pawl 220 can be driven to abut against the ratchet wheel 210, causing the ratchet wheel 210 and the pawl 220 to engage, facilitating the adjustment and locking of the rotation angle of the foot pedal 120. The stop block 211 is arranged axially on the ratchet wheel 210 towards the return wheel 230, and the first top block 231 protrudes radially on the return wheel 230. When the ratchet wheel 210 rotates, the stop block 211 can abut against the first top block 231, enabling the ratchet wheel 210 to rotate synchronously with the return wheel 230, causing the first top block 231 to lift the pawl 220, and further separating the ratchet wheel 210 from the pawl 220. Only by flipping the foot pedal 120 can the position of the foot pedal 120 be unlocked, facilitating the reset of the foot pedal 120. Moreover, the second spring 250 is disposed between the connection seat 110 and the ratchet wheel 210, enabling the second spring 250 to drive the ratchet wheel 210 to rotate, allowing the foot pedal 120 to automatically reset and retract, stabilizing the position of the foot pedal 120, improving the usability and reliability of the foot pedal 120 mechanism, and enhancing the user experience.
[0035] It should be noted that the pedal 120 is driven to flip along the first direction, so that the ratchet 210 can rotate, the pawl 220 can slide on the side wall of the ratchet 210, and the ratchet 210 can mesh with the pawl 220, so that the position of the pedal 120 can be locked; the pedal 120 is driven to continue to flip along the first direction, so that the ratchet 210 continues to rotate, so that the block 211 abuts against the first top block 231, and the ratchet 210 can rotate synchronously with the reset wheel 230, so that the first top block 231 can prop up the pawl 220, so that the ratchet 210 and the pawl 220 are separated, and then the pedal 120 can be flipped along the second direction, which is convenient for resetting the pedal 120. The pedal 120 can be reset by only flipping the position of the pedal 120, thereby improving the convenience of adjustment. Among them, the flipping directions of the first direction and the second direction are opposite.
[0036] In addition, by providing the second spring 250, the foot pedal 120 can be driven to automatically return to its original position, so that the foot pedal 120 can be automatically tightened under the seat, and the position shaking of the foot pedal 120 can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience.
[0037] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The reset wheel 230 is provided with a second top block 232 protruding radially, the stopper 211 can abut against the second top block 232 , a gap 233 is provided between the first top block 231 and the second top block 232 , and the pawl 220 can be located in the gap 233 . The second top block 232 is provided to protrude radially along the reset wheel 230, and the first top block 231 and the second top block 232 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the reset wheel 230, and a gap 233 is provided between the first top block 231 and the second top block 232. When the foot pedal 120 flips along the first direction, the stopper 211 can abut against the first top block 231 to drive the reset wheel 230 to rotate along the first direction, so that the first top block 231 drives the ratchet 210 to separate from the pawl 220; when the foot pedal 120 flips along the second direction, the stopper 211 can abut against the second top block 232 to drive the reset wheel 230 to rotate along the second direction, so that the pawl 220 can slide from the first top block 231 into the gap 233, so that the pawl 220 and the ratchet 210 are smoothly engaged, thereby stabilizing the position of the foot pedal 120 and improving the reliability of the foot pedal mechanism.
[0038] It should be noted that the foot pedal 120 is provided with a supporting state and a reset state. When the foot pedal 120 is in the supporting state, the pawl 220 is located in the gap 233, so that the ratchet 210 can engage with the pawl 220; when the foot pedal 120 is in the reset state, the pawl 220 abuts against the first top block 231, so that the ratchet 210 and the pawl 220 are separated.
