Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a side pedal and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Side steps are fixed to the side of the vehicle. Their primary function is to facilitate passenger boarding and exiting, and to protect against mud and rain. The steps are typically extruded from aluminum profiles, then cut to standard lengths using an automated profile saw. The ends of the profiles are left exposed, so they need to be sealed to maintain their aesthetics and prevent damage.

[0003] In related technologies, the ends of the pedal body are mostly sealed with end covers, but the connection structure between the end covers and the pedal body is not reasonably set, and it is impossible to achieve a balance between stability and delicate perception, resulting in a low user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art. To this end, one purpose of the present invention is to provide a side pedal that has a better sense of refinement while ensuring structural stability.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the side pedal includes: a pedal body, which is extended in the front-to-back direction; a connecting assembly, which is arranged at the end of the pedal body in the front-to-back direction and is connected to the pedal body; an end cover, which is arranged at the end of the pedal body in the front-to-back direction and is connected to the connecting assembly, and the connecting assembly is hidden between the pedal body and the end cover.

[0007] Therefore, by connecting the connecting component between the pedal body and the end cover in the front-to-back direction and hiding the connecting component between the pedal body and the end cover, the connection and sealing between the end cover and the pedal body can be ensured, and the reliability of the side pedal can be improved, thereby improving the exquisite perception of the side pedal.

[0008] In some examples of the present invention, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting bracket having a first through-hole formed therein, and a plurality of spacers extending in the fore-aft direction are provided within the pedal body. The spacers are provided with threaded grooves extending in the fore-aft direction, the threaded grooves corresponding to the first through-hole in the fore-aft direction, and connected via a first fastener. This makes the connection and fixation between the end cap and the pedal body simpler and more reliable.

[0009] In some examples of the present invention, the first connecting bracket includes: a first plate portion, a second plate portion, and a third plate portion, the first plate portion extending in the front-to-back direction, the first plate portion having the first through-hole, the second plate portion connected to the side of the first plate portion facing the pedal body and extending toward the pedal body, two third plate portions, both connected to the side of the first plate portion in the left-right direction, the two third plate portions spaced apart in the up-down direction and spaced apart from the second plate portion in the left-right direction, the second plate portion, the two third plate portions, and the first plate portion together forming a limiting groove, the partition at least partially extending into the limiting groove and being limitedly engaged with the limiting groove in both the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction. In this way, by optimizing the structure of the first connecting bracket, the assembly efficiency of the first connecting bracket and the pedal body can be improved, and the connection stability and reliability can be improved.

[0010] In some examples of the present invention, the second plate portion and the two third plate portions are each provided with a first guide surface at one end away from the first plate portion, and the first guide surface cooperates with the partition plate to guide the partition plate. This allows the partition plate to be inserted into the limiting groove more quickly and accurately, thereby improving assembly speed and accuracy.

[0011] In some examples of the present invention, the first connecting bracket is further provided with a first clamping portion, which is spaced apart from the first perforation in the left-right direction, and the end cap is provided with a second clamping portion, one of which is a buckle and the other is a slot, and the buckle and the slot engage in a front-to-back engagement. This not only improves the speed and accuracy of the connection between the first connecting bracket and the end cap, but also improves the stability and reliability of the engagement between the first connecting bracket and the end cap.

[0012] In some examples of the present invention, the first engaging portion is a slot, and the two third plates extend in the left-right direction, with a guide plate and an elastic pressure plate connected therebetween. The guide plate and the elastic pressure plate are spaced apart in the left-right direction, gradually approaching each other in the direction toward the pedal body, and together with the two third plates define the slot. This allows for faster engagement between the buckle and the slot and effectively prevents the buckle from falling out.

[0013] In some examples of the present invention, the connection assembly further includes a second connection bracket, wherein the pedal body has a mounting slot provided on a side thereof adjacent to the vehicle body, the second connection bracket being disposed within the mounting slot and having a second through-hole provided therein, the end cap being provided with a mounting plate having a third through-hole provided therein, the second through-hole and the third through-hole corresponding to each other in the vertical direction and being connected by a second fastener. This makes the connection and fixation between the end cap and the pedal body simpler and more reliable.

[0014] In some examples of the present invention, the pedal body is provided with a plurality of accommodating cavities, and the end cap is provided with a limiting post extending in the front-to-back direction toward a side proximal to the pedal body. There are multiple limiting posts, each corresponding to one of the multiple accommodating cavities. A plurality of limiting ribs are provided circumferentially of the limiting posts, each extending into the accommodating cavities and engaging with the accommodating cavities for circumferential limiting engagement. This ensures that the end cap is correctly assembled relative to the pedal body, enhancing the refined feel of the side pedal.

[0015] In some examples of the present invention, a second guide surface is provided on one end of the limiting rib toward the pedal body, and the second guide surface cooperates with the pedal body for guidance. This allows the limiting post and the limiting rib thereon to be quickly and accurately inserted into the accommodating cavity, thereby improving assembly speed and accuracy.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0034] Reference below Figures 1-6 A side step 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The side step 100 may be applied to a vehicle.

[0035] Combine Figures 1-6 As shown, the side step 100 according to the present invention can mainly include: a step body 10, a connecting assembly 20, and an end cover 30. The step body 10 is extended in the front-to-back direction, the connecting assembly 20 is provided at the end of the step body 10 in the front-to-back direction and connected to the step body 10, and the end cover 30 is provided at the end of the step body 10 in the front-to-back direction and connected to the connecting assembly 20, and the connecting assembly 20 is hidden between the step body 10 and the end cover 30.

[0036] Specifically, the side steps 100 are located on the left and right sides of the vehicle body to facilitate passengers getting on and off the vehicle. By extending the step body 10 in the front-to-back direction, support can be provided for the passengers. Furthermore, the step body 10 is typically formed from extruded aluminum profiles, which are then cut to standard lengths using an automatic profile saw, leaving the ends of the profiles exposed. To ensure the aesthetics of the side steps 100 and prevent them from being bumped, end caps 30 are provided. These end caps 30 are positioned at the ends of the step body 10 in the front-to-back direction to seal the ends of the step body 10.

[0037] Furthermore, by setting up the connecting component 20, not only is the connecting component 20 set at the end of the pedal body 10 in the front-to-back direction, so that the connecting component 20 is connected to the pedal body 10, but the end cover 30 is also set at the end of the pedal body 10 in the front-to-back direction, so that the end cover 30 is connected to the connecting component 20, that is: it is only necessary to first connect the connecting component 20 to the end of the pedal body 10 in the front-to-back direction, and then connect the end cover 30 to the connecting component 20, so that the connection between the end cover 30 and the end of the pedal body 10 can be realized through the connecting component 20.

[0038] In this way, unlike fixing the end cover 30 to the pedal body 10 by bolts, which causes the bolts to be exposed when the side pedal 100 is extended, resulting in a poor sense of refinement of the side pedal 100, the present application optimizes the structure of the side pedal 100, which not only ensures the connection and sealing of the end cover 30 to the end of the pedal body 10, thereby ensuring the beauty of the side pedal 100 and preventing bumps, and ensuring the structural reliability of the side pedal 100, but also allows the end cover 30 to cover the connecting assembly 20, hiding the connecting assembly 20 between the pedal body 10 and the end cover 30, thereby avoiding exposure of the connecting assembly 20 and improving the sense of refinement of the side pedal 100.

[0039] It can be understood that the pedal body 10 has front and rear ends, and the end cover 30 can be set to two, and the connecting components 20 can also be set to two. The two connecting components 20 are respectively connected to the front and rear ends of the pedal body 10, and the two end covers 30 are correspondingly connected to the two connecting components 20, thereby realizing the blocking of the front and rear ends of the pedal body 10 by the end cover 30.

[0040] Therefore, by connecting the connecting component 20 between the pedal body 10 and the end cover 30 in the front-to-back direction, and hiding the connecting component 20 between the pedal body 10 and the end cover 30, while ensuring the connection and sealing between the end cover 30 and the pedal body 10 and the structural reliability of the side pedal 100, the exposure of the connecting component 20 can be avoided, thereby improving the exquisite perception of the side pedal 100.

[0041] Combine Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, the connecting assembly 20 may include a first connecting bracket 21, a first through-hole 2111 is provided on the first connecting bracket 21, a plurality of partitions 11 extending in the front-to-back direction are provided in the pedal body 10, and a screw groove 13 is provided on the partition 11, the screw groove 13 extends in the front-to-back direction, the screw groove 13 corresponds to the first through-hole 2111 in the front-to-back direction and is connected by a first fastener 40.

[0042] Specifically, in order to ensure the structural strength of the pedal body 10, multiple partitions 11 can be set in the pedal body 10. The multiple partitions 11 are extended in the front and rear directions, and the multiple partitions 11 are spaced apart in the left and right directions. In this way, the multiple partitions 11 can divide the space in the pedal body 10 into multiple accommodating cavities 12, which can play a role in structural reinforcement and improve the structural reliability of the pedal body 10.

[0043] By providing a first through-hole 2111 on the first connecting bracket 21 and providing a screw groove 13 on at least one partition 11, so that the screw groove 13 extends in the front-to-back direction, the original structure of the pedal body 10 can be fully utilized. During assembly, it is only necessary to align the first through-hole 2111 with the screw groove 13 in the front-to-back direction, and then pass the first fastener 40 through the first through-hole 2111 and threadably engage with the screw groove 13 to connect and secure the first connecting bracket 21 to the pedal body 10. This makes the connection and securement between the first connecting bracket 21 and the pedal body 10 simpler and more reliable. The first fastener 40 can be a bolt.

[0044] Combine Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting bracket 21 can mainly include: a first plate portion 211, a second plate portion 212, and a third plate portion 213. Among them, the first plate portion 211 extends in the front-to-back direction and is provided with a first through-hole 2111. The second plate portion 212 is connected to the side of the first plate portion 211 facing the pedal body 10 and extends toward the pedal body 10. There are two third plate portions 213, both of which are connected to one side of the first plate portion 211 in the left-to-right direction. The two third plate portions 213 are spaced apart in the up-down direction and are spaced apart from the second plate portion 212 in the left-to-right direction. The second plate portion 212, the two third plate portions 213, and the first plate portion 211 together form a limiting groove 214. The partition 11 at least partially extends into the limiting groove 214 and is limitedly engaged with the limiting groove 214 in both the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction.

[0045] Specifically, by extending the first plate portion 211 in the front-to-back direction, the second plate portion 212 is connected to the side of the first plate portion 211 toward the pedal body 10 and extends toward the pedal body 10, there are two third plate portions 213 and both are connected to one side of the first plate portion 211 in the left-right direction, the two third plate portions 213 are spaced apart in the up-down direction and are both spaced apart from the second plate portion 212 in the left-right direction, so that the basic structure of the first connecting bracket 21 can be formed.

[0046] Among them, a first through hole 2111 can be opened on the first plate portion 211, so that the first fastener 40 passes through the first through hole 2111 of the first plate portion 211 and is threadedly engaged with the screw groove 13 to achieve a fastened connection between the first connecting bracket 21 and the pedal body 10.

[0047] Furthermore, the second plate portion 212, the two third plate portions 213, and the first plate portion 211 can collectively form a limiting groove 214, into which the partition plate 11 can be inserted and engaged. The partition plate 11 can not only engage with the first plate portion 211 in the front-to-back direction for limiting positioning, but can also engage with the second plate portion 212 and the two third plate portions 213 in the left-to-right direction for limiting positioning.

[0048] Thus, by optimizing the structure of the first connecting bracket 21, when assembling the first connecting bracket 21 with the pedal body 10, the first fastener 40 passes through the first through-hole 2111 of the first plate portion 211 and is threadedly engaged with the screw groove 13, while the partition plate 11 is also inserted into the limiting groove 214 for a limited engagement. This ensures that the first connecting bracket 21 is positioned correctly for assembly, facilitating quick alignment of the first through-hole 2111 and the screw groove 13, improving assembly efficiency, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection between the first connecting bracket 21 and the pedal body 10.

[0049] Combine Figure 6 As shown, the second plate portion 212 and the two third plate portions 213 are each provided with a first guide surface 215 at one end away from the first plate portion 211 , and the first guide surface 215 is in guiding cooperation with the partition plate 11 .

[0050] Specifically, it can be understood that when the first connecting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the pedal body 10, the first connecting bracket 21 needs to be inserted into the accommodating cavity 12 so that the partition 11 cooperates with the limiting groove 214, that is, the second plate portion 212 and the two third plate portions 213 need to extend into the accommodating cavity 12.

[0051] By providing a first guide surface 215 at one end of the second plate portion 212 and the two third plate portions 213 away from the first plate portion 211, during assembly, the first guide surface 215 and the partition 11 can be guided and cooperated, so that the partition 11 can move relatively along the first guide surface 215, so that the partition 11 can be inserted into the limit groove 214 more quickly and accurately, which can improve the speed and accuracy of assembly and improve the assembly efficiency of the side pedal 100.

[0052] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting bracket 21 is also provided with a first clamping portion 216, and the first clamping portion 216 and the first through-hole 2111 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. A second clamping portion 31 is provided on the end cover 30, and one of the first clamping portion 216 and the second clamping portion 31 is a buckle, and the other is a slot, and the buckle and the slot are clamped together in the front-back direction.

[0053] Specifically, by setting a first clamping portion 216 on the first connecting bracket 21 and a second clamping portion 31 on the end cover 30, after the first connecting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the pedal body 10, it is only necessary to clamp the second clamping portion 31 of the end cover 30 with the second clamping portion 31 of the first connecting bracket 21 in the front and rear directions to achieve the connection between the end cover 30 and the first connecting bracket 21, which can make the installation of the end cover 30 at the front and rear ends of the pedal body 10 simpler and more reliable.

[0054] Furthermore, one of the first clamping portion 216 and the second clamping portion 31 can be set as a buckle, and the other can be set as a slot. In this way, the buckle only needs to be inserted into the slot to engage with the slot, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​between the first clamping portion 216 and the second clamping portion 31. This not only improves the speed and accuracy of the snap-fit ​​between the first clamping portion 216 and the second clamping portion 31, but also improves the stability and reliability of the snap-fit ​​between the first clamping portion 216 and the second clamping portion 31.

[0055] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second clamping portion 31 is a buckle, the first clamping portion 216 is a slot, the two third plate portions 213 are both extended in the left and right directions, and a guide plate 217 and an elastic pressing plate 218 are connected between the two third plate portions 213, the guide plate 217 and the elastic pressing plate 218 are spaced apart in the left and right directions, the guide plate 217 and the elastic pressing plate 218 gradually approach each other in the direction toward the pedal body 10 and together with the two third plate portions 213 define a slot.

[0056] Specifically, the second clamping portion 31 can be configured as a buckle, which is connected to a side of the end cover 30 facing the pedal body 10 , and extends toward the pedal body 10 .

[0057] Correspondingly, the first clamping portion 216 is set as a card slot, and the two third plate portions 213 are both extended in the left and right directions. A guide plate 217 and an elastic pressure plate 218 are connected between the two third plate portions 213. The guide plate 217 and the elastic pressure plate 218 are spaced apart in the left and right directions, and the guide plate 217 and the elastic pressure plate 218 gradually approach each other in the direction toward the pedal body 10, so that the two third plate portions 213, the guide plate 217 and the elastic pressure plate 218 can be jointly enclosed to form a card slot.

[0058] In this way, during assembly, the buckle can first enter the slot. The two third plates 213 can limit the buckle's vertical displacement. Under the guidance of the guide plate 217, the buckle can accurately enter the buckle along the guide plate 217. As the buckle gradually penetrates into the slot, it can squeeze the elastic pressing piece 218, causing it to deform. Once it is locked into place, the buckle can engage with the end of the guide plate 217 away from the end cap 30 in the front-to-back direction, achieving a snap-fit ​​connection between the buckle and the slot.

[0059] Moreover, after the buckle and the slot are snap-fitted, the elastic pressure piece 218 restores its deformation and applies pressure to the buckle, which can limit the position of the buckle in the left and right directions, thereby effectively preventing the buckle from falling out and improving the stability and reliability of the snap-fit ​​between the buckle and the slot.

[0060] It is understood that the first connecting bracket 21 can be completely hidden between the end cover 30 and the pedal body 10. Whether viewed from the front-to-back direction, the left-to-right direction, or the top-to-bottom direction, the first connecting bracket 21 will not be exposed, thereby effectively improving the exquisite perception of the side pedal 100.

[0061] Combine Figure 2 as well as Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the connecting assembly 20 may further include: a second connecting bracket 22, a mounting groove 14 is provided on the side of the pedal body 10 close to the vehicle body, the second connecting bracket 22 is provided in the mounting groove 14 and has a second through-hole 221, the end cover 30 is provided with a mounting plate 32, and a third through-hole is provided on the mounting plate 32, the second through-hole 221 and the third through-hole correspond to each other in the up and down directions and are connected by a second fastener 50.

[0062] Specifically, the second connecting bracket 22 is provided and disposed in the mounting groove 14 of the pedal body 10. Alternatively, the second connecting bracket 22 can be designed to conform to the mounting groove 14 so that the second connecting bracket 22 is interference-fitted in the mounting groove 14 and the lower surface of the second connecting bracket 22 is flush with the lower surface of the mounting groove 14.

[0063] Furthermore, a second through-hole 221 is provided on the second connecting bracket 22, and a mounting plate 32 extending in the front-to-back direction is provided on the end cap 30, with a third through-hole provided on the mounting plate 32. This allows the mounting plate 32 to vertically align with the second connecting bracket 22 during assembly, with the second through-hole 221 and the third through-hole corresponding in the vertical direction. By inserting the second fastener 50 through both the second through-hole 221 and the third through-hole and fastening them, a removable connection between the end cap 30 and the second connecting bracket 22 is achieved, allowing the end cap 30 to be positioned at the front and rear ends of the pedal body 10. The second fastener 50 may be a rivet.

[0064] It can be understood that the second connecting bracket 22 will not be exposed from the front-to-back direction, and since the second connecting bracket 22 is close to the vehicle body, the second connecting bracket 22 will not be exposed when observed from the left-right direction toward one side of the vehicle body, thereby effectively improving the refined perception of the side pedal 100.

[0065] In this way, by making the connecting component 20 include a first connecting bracket 21 and a second connecting bracket 22, there can be not only a clamping force in the front-to-back direction but also a fastening force in the up-down direction between the end cover 30 and the connecting component 20, so that the force distribution between the end cover 30 and the connecting component 20 is more uniform and reasonable, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the end cover 30 and the connecting component 20 and improving the overall structural reliability of the side pedal 100.

[0066] Optionally, in order to adapt to the size of the side pedal 100 in the left and right directions, the first connecting brackets 21 can be set to at least two, and at least two first connecting brackets 21 are spaced apart in the left and right directions, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the setting of the end cover 30 at the end of the pedal body 10, and improving the structural reliability of the side pedal 100.

[0067] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of accommodating cavities 12 are provided in the pedal body 10, and a limiting column 33 is provided in the end cover 30. The limiting column 33 extends in the front-to-back direction toward the side close to the pedal body 10. There are multiple limiting columns 33 and they correspond one-to-one to the multiple accommodating cavities 12. A plurality of limiting ribs 331 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the limiting column 33. The limiting column 33 extends into the accommodating cavity 12 and the limiting rib 331 cooperates with the circumferential limiting of the accommodating cavity 12.

[0068] Specifically, by arranging a plurality of spaced limiting ribs 331 on the circumference of the limiting column 33, when assembling the side pedal 100, the limiting column 33 and the limiting ribs 331 thereon can be extended into the accommodating cavity 12, and the plurality of limiting ribs 331 on the limiting column 33 can cooperate with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 12 in the circumferential direction to limit the end cover 30 to the correct assembly position relative to the pedal body 10, thereby preventing the end cover 30 from protruding from the pedal body 10, and thereby improving the exquisite perception of the side pedal 100.

[0069] Further, combined with Figure 6 As shown, a second guide surface 332 is provided at one end of the limiting rib 331 facing the pedal body 10 , and the second guide surface 332 is in guiding cooperation with the pedal body 10 .

[0070] Specifically, considering that the limiting post 33 and the limiting rib 331 thereon need to extend into the accommodating cavity 12, the limiting rib 331 and the accommodating cavity 12 are circumferentially limited. By providing a second guide surface 332 on the end of the limiting rib 331 facing the pedal body 10, when the end cover 30 and the connecting assembly 20 are assembled, the second guide surface 332 can guide and cooperate with the pedal body 10, so that the limiting post 33 and the limiting rib 331 thereon can quickly and accurately extend into the accommodating cavity 12, thereby improving the speed and accuracy of assembly and enhancing the assembly efficiency of the side pedal 100.

[0071] The vehicle according to the present invention may include the above-mentioned side step 100. Specifically, by applying the side step 100 to a vehicle, the exquisite perception and reliability of the vehicle can be improved, thereby enhancing the user experience and improving the product competitiveness of the vehicle.
