It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0042] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0043] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in this application without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is intended to cover modifications and variations of this application that fall within the scope of the corresponding claims (technical solutions claimed for protection) and their equivalents. It should be noted that the embodiments provided in the examples of this application can be combined with each other without contradiction.

[0045] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0046] Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the flip pedal provided in the embodiment of the present application in the retracted state. Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 A side view diagram of Figure 3 Shown is a side view of the flip pedal in the open position.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a flip pedal, including a connecting frame 100, a base plate 200, a pedal body 300, a limiting mechanism 500 and a reset mechanism. Among them, one end of the connecting frame 100 is used to connect with the vehicle; the base plate 200 is connected to the other end of the connecting frame 100, and the base plate 200 has a pedal opening 201; the pedal body 300 is covered on the pedal opening 201, and the pedal body 300 is rotatably connected to the base plate 200 through a rotating shaft 400, and the rotating shaft 400 is arranged on the side of the pedal body 300 close to the connecting frame 100; when the flip pedal is in the open state, the pedal body 300 abuts against the connecting frame 100; the limiting mechanism 500 is used to limit the pedal body 300 when the flip pedal is in the retracted state; the reset mechanism includes a torsion spring 600, the rotating shaft 400 is sleeved in the torsion spring 600, the first torsion bar 601 of the torsion spring 600 abuts against the base plate 200, and the second torsion bar 602 of the torsion spring 600 abuts against the pedal body 300, so that the flip pedal can be switched between the retracted state and the open state.

[0048] It should be understood that see Figure 3 When the flip pedal is in the retracted state, the abutment between the pedal body 300 and the connecting frame 100 can be point contact, line contact or surface contact; among them, the larger the contact area between the pedal body 300 and the connecting frame 100, the higher the connection reliability between the pedal body 300 and the connecting frame 100 when the flip pedal is in the open state.

[0049] In a specific implementation, anti-slip grooves can be provided on the side surface of the pedal body 300 away from the connecting frame 100 (i.e., the front of the pedal body 300) to prevent people from accidentally falling when stepping on the front of the pedal body 300.

[0050] In a specific implementation, the torsion spring 600 is disposed at the middle of the rotating shaft 400 , so that the torsion spring 600 acts on the middle of the pedal body 300 and ensures that the pedal body 300 is evenly stressed.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the pedal body 300 may be a whole panel structure (see Figure 1), which can provide greater support force for the staff; the pedal body 300 can also be a hollow structural member, which is beneficial to reduce the weight of the flip pedal.

[0052] It should be noted that this application is not limited to Figure 1 The positional relationship between the pedal body 300 and the base plate 200 in the embodiment shown is shown. Specifically, the pedal body 300 and the base plate 200 can be arranged in parallel. The smaller the distance between the pedal body 300 and the base plate 200, the more space is saved. Preferably, the base plate 200 and the pedal body 300 are coplanar (e.g. Figure 1 As shown), the distance between the base plate 200 and the pedal body 300 is minimized, which saves space. Moreover, when the flip pedal is in the retracted state, the pedal body 300 is highly concealed and aesthetically pleasing. The pedal body 300 and the base plate 200 may also be non-parallel, that is, the pedal body 300 and the base plate 200 may present a certain angle. Considering the spatial volume factor, the angle is generally small, ranging from 0° to 10°. In addition, when the flip pedal is in the retracted state, the pedal body 300 is not limited to being located on the side of the base plate 200 close to the connecting frame 100. The pedal body 300 may also be coplanar with the base plate 200 (see Figure 1 ), the pedal body 300 can also be partially or entirely located outside the base plate 200 (on the side of the base plate 200 away from the connecting frame 100), as long as the portion of the pedal body 300 that extends beyond the outer surface of the base plate 200 does not scratch passersby or objects when the pedal is retracted. In practice, the angle and positional relationship between the pedal body 300 and the base plate 200 should be designed based on actual design requirements.

[0053] by Figure 1 Taking the flip pedal provided in the embodiment shown as an example, the working process of the flip pedal is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the flip pedal is in the retracted state, the limiting mechanism 500 limits the pedal body 300, ensuring that the pedal body 300 is in the first position P1. When the flip pedal is switched from the retracted state to the open state, the staff applies a force to the pedal body 300 (for example, the driver steps on it). This force overcomes the restraining force of the limiting mechanism 500 on the pedal body 300, causing the top end of the pedal body 300 to move toward the connecting frame 100. At this time, the pedal body 300, which is subjected to the force, moves around the rotation axis 400 in the first direction D1 ( Figure 2 The torsion spring 600 rotates in the counterclockwise direction (as shown in the figure), and the second torsion bar 602 of the torsion spring 600 abutting against the pedal body 300 rotates under the drive of the pedal body 300, while the first torsion bar 601 of the torsion spring 600 abutting against the base plate 200 remains in the same position. At this time, the torsion spring 600 is deformed and has the effect of pushing the pedal body 300 along the second direction D2 ( Figure 2The staff continues to apply pressure to the pedal body 300, and the pedal body 300 continues to rotate around the rotation axis 400 along the first direction D1, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , until the back side of the pedal body 300 (i.e., the side surface of the pedal body 300 close to the connecting frame 100) abuts against the connecting frame 100. At this time, the pedal body 300 is in the second position P2, and the connecting frame 100 supports the pedal body 300. The pedal body 300 can provide support for the staff, allowing the staff to stand on the pedal body 300, making it easier for the driver to enter the cab. After the staff's force on the pedal body 300 disappears (for example, the driver's foot leaves the pedal body 300), the deformed torsion spring 600 pushes the pedal body 300 to rotate along the second direction D2 until the pedal body 300 is in the first position P1. At the same time, the limiting mechanism 500 limits the pedal body 300, and the flip pedal returns to the retracted state.

[0054] It should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the pedal body 300 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane when in the first position P1. In the second position P2, the pedal body 300 is parallel to the horizontal plane. In practice, the pedal body 300 in the first position P1 may be positioned at a certain angle (e.g., 60° to 90°) to the horizontal plane, as long as the portion of the pedal body 300 extending beyond the outer surface of the base plate 200 does not scratch passersby or objects. The pedal body 300 in the second position P2 may also be positioned at a smaller angle (e.g., 0° to 10°) to the horizontal plane, as long as the pedal body 300 provides sufficient support to the driver.

[0055] In the flip pedal provided in this embodiment, one end of the connecting frame 100 is connected to the vehicle, and the other end of the connecting frame 100 is connected to the base plate 200. When the flip pedal switches from a retracted state to an open state, the pedal body 300 flips toward the side closer to the vehicle, that is, the pedal body 300 flips inward and opens. When the flip pedal is in the open state, the pedal body 300 is located on the inner side of the base plate 200. Therefore, the flip pedal provided in this embodiment can reduce or even prevent the occurrence of scratches between the pedal body 300 and the outside, thereby improving vehicle safety. In addition, when the flip pedal is in the retracted state, the limiting mechanism 500 can limit the pedal body 300 to ensure that the pedal body 300 is in the second position P2, preventing scratches caused by the pedal body 300 extending outward beyond the second position P2 due to bumpy driving, further improving vehicle safety.

[0056] Figure 4 Shown Figure 1 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of part A, Figure 5 Shown Figure 2 Schematic cross-sectional view of part B.

[0057] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism 500 includes an abutting rod 510 and a limiting seat 520 . The cross section of the abutting rod 510 is circular, and the abutting rod 510 is connected to the pedal body 300 .

[0058] The limiting seat 520 is connected to the base plate 200 and includes a first supporting block 521, a second supporting block 522, and a rod receiving groove 523 for receiving the abutting rod 510. The rod receiving groove 523 is located between the first supporting block 521 and the second supporting block 522. The first supporting block 521 defines a mounting through hole 524, which is in communication with the rod receiving groove 523.

[0059] Along the direction away from the rod groove 523, a limiting bead 501, a spring member 502 and an adjusting bolt 503 are sequentially provided in the mounting through hole 524, and the two ends of the spring member 502 are respectively abutted against the limiting bead 501 and the adjusting bolt 503, and the adjusting bolt 503 is connected to the mounting through hole 524 by a threaded connection; when the flip pedal is in the retracted state, the limiting bead 501 is located on the side of the abutting rod 510 close to the connecting frame 100.

[0060] It should be understood that, in conjunction with Figure 2 and Figure 5 The limiting bead 501 is located on the side of the abutting rod 510 close to the connecting frame 100 , which means that the center of the limiting bead 501 is located on the side of the axis of the abutting rod 510 close to the connecting frame 100 .

[0061] In this embodiment, see 3 to Figure 5When the pedal is turned from the open state to the retracted state, the pedal body rotates in the second direction D2. When the pedal body approaches the second position P2, the abutting rod 510 begins to enter the rod receiving groove 523. In this process, the outer peripheral surface of the abutting rod 510 pushes the limiting bead 501, and the abutting rod 510 pushes the limiting bead 501 to move into the mounting through hole 524, while the position of one end of the spring member 502 abutting against the adjusting bolt 503 remains unchanged, and the other end of the spring member 502 abutting against the limiting bead 501 is subjected to the force of the limiting bead 501, and the spring member 502 is compressed. At this time, the spring member 502 has an elastic force that pushes the limiting bead 501 to move in the direction of the rod receiving groove 523. The abutting rod 510 continues to rotate until it is contained in the rod receiving groove 523. After being limited by the bottom wall of the groove and unable to continue moving in the second direction D2, the limiting bead 501 moves toward the outside of the mounting hole 524 under the elastic force of the spring member 502, and the outer peripheral surface of the abutment rod 510 is affected by the groove wall of the rod-containing groove 523 and the limiting bead 501, and can neither move in the second direction D2 nor move in the first direction D1. In this way, when the flip pedal is in the retracted state, it can prevent the pedal body 300 from continuing to move outward from the stepping port 201 to cause scratches, and can also prevent the pedal body 300 from flipping inward to cause vibration noise and accidental collision with the connecting frame 100, thereby ensuring that the structure of the pedal body 300 in the second position P2 is stable and reliable, and improving the working reliability of the flip pedal.

[0062] When the vehicle is traveling on a bad road, the bumps of the vehicle may cause the flip pedal to vibrate with a large amplitude. When the flip pedal is retracted, there is a risk that the pedal body 300 will fall out of the rod groove 523. Considering this, in this embodiment, the screw connection length between the adjustment bolt 503 and the mounting through hole 524 can be adjusted to reduce or avoid such an incident. Figure 5 , rotate the adjusting bolt 503 to increase the screw connection length between the adjusting bolt 503 and the mounting through hole 524, the spring member 502 pushes the limiting bead 501, and the limiting bead 501 will move out of the mounting through hole 524 or has a tendency to move out of the mounting through hole 524. The pedal body 300 in the second position P2 requires a larger external force to overcome the elastic force of the spring member 502 in order to escape from the rod groove 523; after adjustment, when the flip pedal is converted from the retracted state to the open state, compared with before adjustment, the staff needs to apply a larger force F to the pedal body 300 to rotate the pedal body 300; of course, the staff can reduce the screw connection length between the adjusting bolt 503 and the mounting through hole 524 if the road conditions improve, and reduce the force F applied by the staff to open the flip pedal while ensuring that the pedal body will not easily vibrate out of the rod groove 523.

[0063] Figure 6 The diagram below shows the structure of the limit seat. Figure 7 The figure shows the assembly structure diagram of the base plate and the torsion spring when the flip pedal is in the retracted state.

[0064] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second supporting block 522 is provided with a transition rounded corner structure 5221 on the side close to the second supporting block 522. The transition rounded corner structure 5221 can reduce the friction between the abutting rod 510 and the second supporting block 522, thereby facilitating the abutting rod 510 to smoothly escape from and enter the rod groove 523.

[0065] See also Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, when the flip pedal is in the open state, a shock absorber 110 is provided at the abutment between the pedal body 300 and the shock absorber 110; the shock absorber 110 is provided on the side of the connecting frame 100 close to the pedal body 300, and / or, on the side of the pedal body 300 close to the connecting frame 100.

[0066] In this embodiment, the shock absorber 110 plays a role in shock absorption and buffering, avoiding rigid collision between the pedal body 300 and the connecting frame 100, reducing the noise generated when the pedal body 300 and the connecting frame 100 contact and collide, and improving the user experience of the staff.

[0067] See also Figures 1 to 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the shock absorber 110 of the flip pedal is disposed on the connecting frame 100. In other feasible embodiments, the shock absorber 110 may also be disposed on the back of the pedal body 300. In still other embodiments, the shock absorber 110 comprises two parts, one disposed on the back of the pedal body 300 and the other disposed on the connecting frame 100. The specific embodiment should be selected and designed according to the specific product requirements.

[0068] The shock absorber 110 can be any one of a rubber pad, a spring shock absorber, a plastic foam pad, etc., or a combination thereof.

[0069] It should be noted that Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the pedal body 300 includes a contact portion 310 provided on the back of the pedal body 300; when the pedal body 300 is in a retracted state (the pedal body 300 is omitted in the figure), the contact portion 310 can directly contact the shock absorber 110 instead of the back of the pedal body 300 (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 In the specific implementation, in order to simplify the manufacturing process, the abutment rod 510 and the contact portion 310 can be prepared as an integral structure. Figure 3 and Figure 7 The abutting rod 510 is designed as a long rod, and its middle section serves as the contact portion 310 .

[0070] See also Figure 7In some embodiments, the base plate 200 is provided with a flange 230 that bends toward the side of the base plate 200 that is closest to the connecting frame 100. This reduces the risk of scratches between the edge of the base plate 200 and passersby or objects, improving user safety. Furthermore, the flange 230 protects components such as the torsion spring 600 and the stopper 520 from being contaminated by rain, mud, and dust, which could prevent the flip pedal from properly flipping, thereby extending the service life of the flip pedal.

[0071] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the torsion spring 600 is configured as a double torsion spring, which includes a first torsion spring 610, a second torsion spring 620, and a pushing portion 630 located between the first torsion spring 610 and the second torsion spring 620. The first sub-torsion bar 611 of the first torsion spring 610 and the first sub-torsion bar 621 of the second torsion spring 620 are respectively connected to the two ends of the pushing portion 630, and the rotating shaft 400 is passed through the first torsion spring 610 and the second torsion spring 620; the second sub-torsion bar 612 of the first torsion spring 610 and the second sub-torsion bar 622 of the second torsion spring 620 are both configured as the first torsion bar 601, and the pushing portion 630 is configured as the second torsion bar 602.

[0072] In this embodiment, the torsion spring 600 configured as a double torsion spring has a simple structure and can withstand a larger load. The pushing portion 630 exerts a more uniform force on the pedal body 300, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the flip pedal.

[0073] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the pedal body 300 is provided with a connecting plate 320 having a rotation hole defined therein; the base plate 200 is provided with a supporting plate 220 having an assembly slot defined therein; and the rotating shaft 400 is inserted through the rotation hole and the assembly slot. This achieves a simple and reliable rotational connection between the pedal body 300 and the base plate 200.

[0074] Because the vehicle will shake during driving, the torsion spring 600 in the flip pedal may move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400 due to the shaking, and the torsion spring 600 deviates from the preset position (such as Figure 7 The pedal body 300 may be in an intermediate position as shown in FIG1 , which may cause the pedal body 300 to be subjected to uneven force and may cause the pedal body 300 to deviate from the first position P1 when the flip pedal is in the retracted state.

[0075] To this end, in some embodiments, see Figure 7The base plate 200 is provided with two fixing pins 210, each of which is perpendicular to the base plate 200. The two fixing pins 210 abut against the first torsion bar 601 on either side of the axial direction of the rotation axis 400. In this way, the two fixing pins 210 prevent the torsion spring 600 from moving along the axial direction of the rotation axis 400, ensuring that the pedal body 300 is evenly stressed and that the pedal body 300 does not deviate from the first position P1 when the pedal is retracted.

[0076] by Figure 7 Taking the placement orientation of the flip pedal shown as an example, in this embodiment, the second sub-torsion bar 612 of the first torsion spring 610 and the second sub-torsion bar 622 of the second torsion spring 620 are both configured as the first torsion bar 601, wherein the fixed pin 210 located on the left side abuts against the right side of the second sub-torsion bar 612 of the first torsion spring 610, thereby preventing the torsion spring 600 from moving to the right; the fixed pin 210 located on the left side abuts against the right side of the second sub-torsion bar 612 of the second torsion spring 610, thereby preventing the torsion spring 600 from moving to the left; that is, it is possible to prevent the torsion spring 600 from moving axially along the rotating shaft 400, thereby ensuring that the torsion spring 600 exerts a uniform force on the pedal body 300.
