[0050] The following refers to Figures 1 to 4 the electric vehicle footrest described in the embodiments of the present application.

[0051] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiments of the present application provide an electric vehicle footrest. The electric vehicle footrest includes: a fixing member 1, a supporting member 2, an elastic component, a first adsorbing member 5 and a second adsorbing member 6. Among them, the fixing member 1 is connected to a designated position of the electric vehicle body. The supporting member 2 is integrally in a long strip shape. One end of the supporting member 2 is provided with a connecting portion 201, and the connecting portion 201 is hinged to the fixing member 1, so that the supporting member 2 can rotate relative to the fixing member 1. The other end of the supporting member 2 is used to support on the ground so that the electric vehicle can be in a parked state. The fixing member 1 is provided with an installation portion, and the elastic component is arranged in the installation portion and is simultaneously connected to both the fixing member 1 and the connecting portion 201. During the rotation of the supporting member 2, the elastic component can be deformed. The first adsorbing member 5 and the second adsorbing member 6 are arranged at intervals. After the supporting member 2 rotates, due to the different rotation directions of the supporting member 2, the connecting portion 201 can contact and adsorb to the first adsorbing member 5 or the second adsorbing member 6, so that the supporting member 2 can be kept in the corresponding position, improving the stability of the supporting member 2.

[0052] Specifically, the support member 2 has a support position and a storage position relative to the fixed member 1. The support member 2 can reciprocally rotate between the support position and the storage position by rotation to switch positions. In the support position, the support member 2 supports on the ground to ensure the stability of the electric vehicle in the parked state; in the storage position, the support member 2 approaches the vehicle body to avoid interference of the support member 2 with the driving process.

[0053] In the support position, the connecting portion 201 contacts and adsorbs to the first adsorbing member 5, so that the support member 2 can be held in the support position; in the storage position, the connecting portion 201 contacts and adsorbs to the second adsorbing member 6, so that the support member 2 can be held in the storage position.

[0054] In this embodiment, both the first adsorbing member 5 and the second adsorbing member 6 are magnets; the connecting portion 201 is made of ferromagnetic metal.

[0055] Preferably, a support inclined foot 203 is provided at one end of the support member 2 away from the connecting portion 201. The support inclined foot 203 is arranged at an angle with the rod-shaped portion of the support member 2, which helps to improve the support stability between the support member 2 and the ground.

[0056] Further, the fixed member 1 specifically includes a first wall plate 101, a second wall plate 102, a first side plate 103, and a second side plate 104. Among them, the first wall plate 101 and the second wall plate 102 are arranged facing each other, the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104 are arranged facing each other, the first side plate 103 and the second side plate 104 are located between the first wall plate 101 and the second wall plate 102. The first wall plate 101, the second wall plate 102, the first side plate 103, and the second side plate 104 together enclose an installation portion with a cavity structure. The elastic component is arranged in the installation portion, and the connecting portion 201 is also connected to the fixed member 1 in the installation portion.

[0057] In such as Figure 1In the shown state, the bottom edges of the first wall plate 101 and the second wall plate 102 are both arc-shaped edges. During the rotation of the support member 2, the arc-shaped edges of the first wall plate 101 and the second wall plate 102 can avoid the connecting portion 201, ensuring the smooth rotation of the support member 2. The height of the first side plate 103 is the same as that of the second side plate 104 and is less than the heights of the first wall plate 101 and the second wall plate 102, so that a first limiting portion is formed below the first side plate 103, and a second limiting portion is formed below the second side plate 104. Moreover, the first adsorbent 5 is arranged close to the first limiting portion, and the second adsorbent 6 is arranged close to the second limiting portion. The first limiting portion and the second limiting portion can limit the rotation range of the support member 2. When the support member 2 rotates to the support position, the connecting portion 201 abuts against the first limiting portion, and the first limiting portion blocks the excessive rotation of the connecting portion 201. At this time, the connecting portion 201 can be adsorbed by the first adsorbent 5. When the support member 2 rotates to the storage position, the connecting portion 201 abuts against the second limiting portion, and the second limiting portion blocks the excessive rotation of the connecting portion 201. At this time, the connecting portion 201 can be adsorbed by the second adsorbent 6.

[0058] Further, the fixing member 1 further includes a connecting shaft 105. The first wall plate 101 is provided with a first hole portion, the connecting portion 201 is provided with a through hole, and the second wall plate 102 is provided with a second hole portion at a position opposite to the first hole portion. The connecting shaft 105 sequentially passes through the first hole portion, the through hole and the second hole portion, thereby completing the hinged connection between the connecting portion 201 and the fixing member 1.

[0059] The fixing member 1 further includes a locking member which is used in cooperation with the connecting shaft 105. One end of the connecting shaft 105 is provided with a sealing end cap, and the other end of the connecting shaft 105 is provided with a connecting thread. After the connecting shaft 105 completes the hinged connection between the fixing member 1 and the connecting portion 201, the locking member is provided with a locking thread adapted to the connecting thread, and the locking member is threadedly connected to the connecting shaft 105 to lock the connecting shaft 105 and prevent the connecting shaft 105 from falling off.

[0060] The fixing member 1 is further provided with a connecting plate 106. Two or more connecting holes are formed in the connecting plate 106 for connecting the connecting plate 106 to a specified position of the vehicle frame by using screws or other forms of fasteners. Preferably, the midline of the connecting plate 106 extending along its thickness direction is arranged at an angle with the midline of the fixing member 1 extending along the height direction, so that the connecting plate 106 is inclined relative to the fixing member 1 for fitting and fixing to a specified position of the vehicle body.

[0061] Further, the elastic component includes a limiting member 4 and an elastic member 3. Among them, the elastic member 3 is specifically a compression spring. The limiting member 4 has a sheet-like structure, and both the elastic member 3 and the limiting member 4 are arranged in the installation portion.

[0062] On one side surface of the second wall panel 102 facing the inside of the installation part, a convex part 107 is provided. One end of the elastic member 3 is sleeved and fixed on the convex part 107, and the other end of the elastic member 3 is connected to the limiting member 4. The limiting member 4 includes a first body part 401 and a second body part 402 with an integral structure. Both the first body part 401 and the second body part 402 are sheet-shaped. Preferably, the size of the second body part 402 is larger than that of the first body part 401. One end of the elastic member 3 far from the convex part 107 is sleeved and connected to the first body part 401. The connecting part 201 is provided with a plug-in part 202. The plug-in part 202 has an arc-shaped groove structure. The second body part 402 is plugged into the plug-in part 202. The plug-in part 202 is provided with a hinge ear 204. The hinge ear 204 protrudes relative to the side of the plug-in part 202. The second body part 402 and the hinge ear 204 are hinged by a connecting pin, so that the limiting member 4 and the connecting part 201 can rotate relative to each other. When the connecting part 201 rotates from the storage position towards the support position, the limiting member 4 together with the elastic member 3 can remain stationary or only rotate slightly, so that the extension direction of the elastic member 3 gradually deviates from the extension direction of the support member 2. At this time, the elastic member 3 is in a natural state or a slightly contracted state. When the connecting part 201 rotates from the support position towards the storage position, due to the change in the shape of the connecting part 201 caused by the rotation factor, the position of the connecting pin relative to the fixed member 1 changes and lifts upward. The extension direction of the elastic member 3 is the same as or approximately the same as the extension direction of the support member 2. At this time, the limiting member 4 squeezes the elastic member 3, and the elastic member 3 is compressed. As the connecting part 201 continues to rotate, the connecting pin gradually deviates from the highest position, and the extrusion condition of the elastic member 3 is gradually relieved. The elastic potential energy accumulated by the elastic member 3 is released, thereby pushing the limiting member 4 and the connecting part 201, and assisting in pushing the connecting part 201 to rotate until the support member 2 is in the storage position. It can be seen that the elastic component can play an auxiliary force application role during the rotation of the support member 2, reducing the difficulty for the user to operate the rotation of the support member 2 with the foot. The user can judge whether the support member 2 is opened or stored in place according to the change in the reaction force felt. In addition, when the support member 2 is in the storage position or the support position, under the elastic support of the elastic member 3, it can resist the rotation tendency of the connecting part 201 to a certain extent, thereby further improving the stability of the support member 2 in the support position or the storage position.

[0063] Further, a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion are also arranged at intervals on the inner wall surface of the second wall plate 102. The first fixing portion is arranged close to the first side plate 103, and the second fixing portion is arranged close to the second side plate 104. Taking the first fixing portion as an example, the first fixing portion includes at least two vertical plates. All the vertical plates are arranged on the inner wall surface of the first wall plate 101 to enclose a receiving groove. The shape of the receiving groove is adapted to the shape of the first suction member 5, so that the first suction member 5 can be embedded and limited within the first fixing portion. The installation manner between the second suction member 6 and the second fixing portion is the same as the above.

[0064] Furthermore, the electric vehicle footrest of the present application further includes a first connecting member 7 and a second connecting member 8. The first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 are both preferably screws. Threaded holes are respectively arranged on the first suction member 5 and the second suction member 6. The first connecting member 7 passes through the second wall plate 102 and then is connected to the first suction member 5, and the second connecting member 8 passes through the second wall plate 102 and then is connected to the second suction member 6, so as to fix the first suction member 5 between the first fixing portion and the second wall plate 102, and fix the second suction member 6 between the second fixing portion and the second wall plate 102, ensuring the stability of the first suction member 5 and the second suction member 6.

[0065] In summary, compared with the existing method of relying on the elastic force of the tension spring to support the footrest, the electric vehicle footrest provided by the present application reduces the influence of the change in the performance of the tension spring on the support stability of the electric vehicle footrest, significantly extends the service life, improves the stability of the electric vehicle footrest in the lowered state and the retracted state, thereby improving the stability of the electric vehicle in the parked state and reducing the probability of the electric vehicle tipping over.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
