[0032] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that for directional words, such as the terms "center", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and so on, the directions and positional relationships indicated are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of this application.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0035] The terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, see Figures 1 to 6 The present application document provides an electric foot support 1, comprising: a mounting base 10, an adjusting mechanism 20 and a lifting mechanism 30. The lifting mechanism 30 is hinged to the adjusting mechanism 20, and the lifting mechanism 30 is hinged to the mounting base 10. The adjusting mechanism 20 drives the lifting mechanism 30 to rotate to approach or move away from the mounting base 10, thereby realizing the transition between the storage state and the supporting state of the electric foot support 1; wherein, taking the plane where the mounting base 10 is located as the reference plane, when the electric foot support 1 is in the supporting state, the angle α formed between the lifting mechanism 30 and the reference plane is less than or equal to 90 degrees, and when the electric foot support 1 is in the storage state, the angle α formed between the lifting mechanism 30 and the reference plane is greater than 90 degrees.

[0037] The support angle between the lifting mechanism 30 and the mounting base 10 is limited to 90 degrees or within 90 degrees. Figure 1 , to ensure that the lifting mechanism 30 will not turn outward in the supporting state, thereby improving the support stability of the lifting mechanism 30. The angle α between the lifting structure and the mounting base 10 in the storage state is greater than 90 degrees, see Figure 2, effectively reducing the storage size of the electric foot support 1 to improve the convenience of use of the electric foot support 1.

[0038] Preferably, the angle α of the electric footrest 1 in the supporting state is preferably greater than 80 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. If the angle α is too small in the supporting state, it will cause a greater telescopic burden on the adjustment mechanism 20, and thus will also affect the supporting stability of the lifting mechanism 30.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism 30 includes: a first rotating block 31, a second rotating block 32 and a connecting rod 33, one end of the first rotating block 31 is hinged to the mounting base 10, the other end of the first rotating block 31 is hinged to the second rotating block 32, one end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the mounting base 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the second rotating block 32; when the electric foot support 1 is in a supporting state, the plane where the first rotating block 31 is located is coplanar with the plane where the second rotating block 32 is located.

[0040] It should be noted that in order to ensure the storage size of the electric foot support 1 in the storage state, Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, the sum of the length of the mounting base 10 in the horizontal direction and the length of the first rotating block 31 in the extension direction needs to be close to the sum of the lengths of the connecting rod 33 and the second rotating block 32, so as to increase the degree to which the second rotating block 32 and the connecting rod 33 are close to the mounting base 10 in the storage state, reduce the storage volume, and improve the ease of use of the electric foot support 1 in this application document.

[0041] As another preference, the adjusting mechanism 20 is connected to the mounting base 10 in a detachable manner. Specifically, the adjusting mechanism 20 also includes: a telescopic rod assembly 21, one end of the telescopic rod assembly 21 is detachably connected to the mounting base 10 through a connecting member 23, and the other end of the telescopic rod assembly 21 is rotatably connected to the hinged ends of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32; a motor 22, the motor 22 is connected to the telescopic rod assembly 21, and the motor 22 drives the telescopic rod assembly 21 to telescope and adjust; wherein, one end of the connecting member 23 is detachably connected to the mounting base 10 through a fastener 24, and the other end of the connecting member 23 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod assembly 21.

[0042] The fastener 24 is specifically a bolt and nut structure, which passes through the mounting base 10 and is connected to the telescopic rod assembly 21. In some special circumstances, such as when the adjustment mechanism 20 and the telescopic rod assembly 21 are stuck, they cannot be effectively extended or retracted. At this time, the fastener 24 can be removed, and then the connecting member 23 is disengaged from the mounting base 10, freeing the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 to move and lift freely, so that the user can manually adjust the lifting mechanism 30 in this special case to ensure that the foot support can provide stable support in different situations.

[0043] At the same time, in order to adapt to the occurrence of the above special circumstances and effectively protect the motor 22, see Figure 5 In actual use, the main part of the telescopic rod assembly 21 and the outside of the motor 22 are covered with a protective shell 50. The protective shell 50 can be specifically an aluminum alloy shell structure, which effectively protects the motor 22 and the main part of the telescopic rod assembly 21 from damage.

[0044] Further preferably, the plate surfaces of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32 are both provided with hollow grids 40 to reduce weight while improving structural stability as much as possible.

[0045] It is further preferred that the lever arm length of the adjusting mechanism 20 is greater than the lever arm length of the lifting mechanism 30. The lever arm length of the adjusting mechanism 20 is also the telescopic length of the telescopic rod, and the lever arm length of the lifting mechanism 30 is also the combined length of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32. The telescopic length of the telescopic rod is greater than the combined length of the first rotating block 31 and the second rotating block 32. Therefore, the force-saving lever structure constituted by the electric foot support 1 in the present application document facilitates the electric foot support 1 in the present application document to be suitable for electric vehicles 2 of larger weight, and has a wider range of applications.

The user presses the start-stop button 4 to send a control signal to activate the control module 6 to control the recovery of the electric kick support 1 and the start-up of the electric vehicle body 3; when the electric vehicle body 3 stops working, the user presses the start-stop button 4 to send a control signal to activate the control module 6 to control the shutdown of the electric vehicle body 3. At the same time, the electric kick support 1 is unfolded to support the electric vehicle body 3.

When the user brings this sensing object close to the sensing range of the electric vehicle 2, the start-stop button 4 is activated and enters the standby state. When it leaves the sensing range, the start-stop button 4 stops the standby state.
