[0029] Reference is made below to Figures 1-3 The pedal assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the utility model is described below. The driving structure 2 is connected to the footrest 11, the footrest 11 is in sliding cooperation with the floor 300, and the footrest 11 is connected to the pedal member 12. The driving structure 2 can drive the footrest 11 and the pedal member 12 to slide in the front-rear direction, so as to adjust the position of the pedal module 1 in the front-rear direction. The length of the legs of different drivers 400 can be met, so as to improve the comfort of driving. The seat can be fixed by setting the pedal module 1 to slide in the front-rear direction, so as to reduce the moving adjustment device of the seat. The overall height of the seat can be reduced, so as to reduce the vertical height of the whole vehicle, thereby reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1-3 The pedal assembly 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the utility model includes a pedal module 1 and a driving structure 2.

[0031] The pedal module 1 includes a footrest 11 and a pedal member 12. The pedal member 12 is movably mounted to the footrest 11.

[0032] Specifically, the pedal assembly 100 for a vehicle is connected to the front cabin of the vehicle. The footrest 11 is used to provide a space for the driver 400 to rest his feet. The footrest 11 is inclined in the vertical direction and towards the front. The side of the footrest 11 facing the user is provided with a footrest surface for placing the feet. The footrest 11 is inclined, so as to improve the comfort, adaptability and stability of the footrest. The pedal member 12 is connected to the surface of the footrest 11 and is movable relative to the footrest 11. The pedal member 12 rotates relative to the footrest 11. The pedal member 12 is also configured to be inclined, and the inclination direction of the pedal member 12 can be the same as that of the footrest 11, so as to facilitate stepping.

[0033] In this way, when the vehicle is running, one foot of the driver 400 steps on the pedal member 12, so that the pedal member 12 rotates relative to the footrest 11 to realize the braking or acceleration of the vehicle, and the other foot of the driver 400 is placed on the footrest 11 when not stepping on the pedal member 12 to rest, which can reduce the fatigue of the driver 400.

[0034] The footrest 11 is provided with a sliding mounting portion 111 for sliding cooperation with the floor 300 of the vehicle in the front-rear direction, that is, the footrest 11 and the floor 300 are slidably connected through the sliding mounting portion 111, and the footrest 11 can slide relative to the floor 300 in the front-rear direction, and the pedal member 12 is connected to the footrest 11. In this way, the pedal module 1 can slide relative to the floor 300 in the front-rear direction through the footrest 11.

[0035] Among them, the floor 300 is a fixed end, and the footrest 11 is a movable end, and the footrest 11 and the floor 300 can be slidably connected through a linear motion mechanism such as a sliding rail, which has a simple setting mode and is convenient to install.

[0036] Therefore, by providing the footrest 11, the pedal module 1 can be slidably connected in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, further increasing the adjustment range of the pedal module 1, so that the footrest 11 and the pedal member 12 can adapt to the leg length and driving posture of different drivers 400. By adjusting the positions of the footrest 11 and the pedal member 12, more ergonomic support can be provided for the driver 400, reducing the fatigue caused by long-time driving, and the flexibility and adjustability of the pedal module 1 can adapt to the internal space and design requirements of different vehicles.

[0037] The driving structure 2 is connected to the footrest 11, and the driving structure 2 is used to drive the footrest 11 to slide in the front-rear direction.

[0038] Specifically, the driving structure 2 is a power source for delivering driving force to the pedal module 1, and the driving structure 2 is connected to the footrest 11 in power, wherein the driving structure 2 can be a driving motor. Through the driving action of the driving motor, the footrest 11 and the pedal member 12 can slide in the front-rear direction at the same time to realize the front-rear adjustment of the pedal module 1. In this way, the adjustment of the pedal module 1 can be automated, and the adjustment mode is simple, fast and high in precision.

[0039] In this way, after the driver 400 enters the driver's cabin and sits on the seat, the footrest 11 is selectively adjusted by the driving structure 2 to approach or move away from the driver 400 according to the comfort of the foot, so that the driver 400's feet are comfortably placed on the footrest 11, and the comfort of the entire leg can be maintained, thereby improving the comfort of driving.

[0040] Therefore, by setting the footrest 11, the position can be adjusted forward and backward to adapt to different drivers 400, and then the seat can be set as a fixed end, reducing the need for seat movement setting, thereby reducing the setting cost.

[0041] The sliding range of the pedal module 1 relative to the floor 300 can be selectively set according to the actual length of the human leg to meet the leg length requirement of different drivers 400, and the use effect is good, the universality is stronger, and the driving experience is improved.

[0042] According to the pedal assembly 100 for the vehicle, the driving structure 2 is connected with the footrest 11, the footrest 11 is in sliding cooperation with the floor 300, the footrest 11 is connected with the pedal piece 12, the driving structure 2 drives the footrest 11 and the pedal piece 12 to slide in the front-rear direction, the position adjustment of the pedal module 1 in the front-rear direction is realized, the leg length requirement of different drivers 400 can be met, the comfort of driving is improved, the pedal module 1 is set to slide forward and backward, the seat is set to be fixed, the movement adjustment device of the seat is reduced, the overall height of the seat is reduced, the vertical height of the whole vehicle is reduced, the wind resistance of the vehicle is reduced, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0043] In some embodiments, the pedal piece 12 includes a brake pedal 121 and a throttle pedal 122, and the brake pedal 121 and the throttle pedal 122 are respectively rotatably installed on the footrest 11.

[0044] Specifically, the pedal piece 12 can be arranged at the lower right of the cab, the footrest 11 is arranged at the lower left of the cab, and the pedal piece 12 includes a brake pedal 121 and a throttle pedal 122. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the footrest 11 is provided with a containing space for containing the brake pedal 121 and the throttle pedal 122, and the brake pedal 121 and the throttle pedal 122 are rotatably connected in the containing space of the footrest 11, the brake pedal 121, the throttle pedal 122 and the footrest 11 are distributed apart in the transverse direction of the vehicle, so that the structures do not interfere with each other, and the placement and stepping of the feet of the driver 400 are facilitated.

[0045] The brake pedal 121 is used to limit the power of the vehicle, and the brake pedal 121 is connected with the brake system wire to realize the wire-controlled brake system 500. Thus, after the driver 400 steps on the brake pedal 121, only the analog electric signal of the stepping depth of the brake pedal 121 can be collected, transmitted to the brake system actuator through the wire harness and the electric signal, and the speed of the vehicle is reduced, so that the vehicle is decelerated or parked. The accelerator pedal 122 is used to control the speed of the vehicle, and the accelerator pedal 122 is connected with the power system wire. The accelerator pedal 122 is set as an electric control structure 600, that is, an electronic accelerator. Thus, after the driver 400 steps on the accelerator pedal 122, the opening degree of the accelerator pedal 122 is captured by the sensor of the power system, and the control unit will command the actuator to act according to the obtained information, so as to control the opening degree of the accelerator, control the amount of air entering the engine, and then determine the acceleration state of the vehicle.

[0046] In the normal driving process, the brake pedal 121 and the accelerator pedal 122 are not stepped on at the same time, and the driver 400 will choose to step on the brake pedal 121 for deceleration or parking, or step on the accelerator pedal 122 for acceleration according to the needs.

[0047] Thus, by setting the wire-controlled brake system 500 and the electric control accelerator pedal 122, the brake pedal 121 and the accelerator pedal 122 can move forward and backward with the footrest 11 to change the front and back positions of the brake pedal 121 and the accelerator pedal 122, so that the brake pedal 121 is no longer limited by the booster and the brake actuator fixed on the vehicle body, and the movement of the brake pedal 121 and the accelerator pedal 122 is more flexible, the adjustment range is larger, and the application range is wider.

[0048] In some embodiments, the pedal member 12 further comprises a clutch pedal, which is distributed apart from the brake pedal 121 and the accelerator pedal 122, and is adapted to be connected with the transmission system wire.

[0049] Specifically, the clutch pedal is a control device of the clutch assembly of a manual transmission vehicle, which is located on the left side of the driver's cabin. The clutch pedal is movably connected with the footrest 11, and is spaced apart from the brake pedal 121 and the accelerator pedal 122 to avoid interference between the structures and facilitate the driver 400 to step on each pedal separately. The clutch pedal is connected with the transmission system wire, wherein the clutch pedal is connected with the engine and the gearbox to realize the connection or separation of the engine and the gearbox, so as to transmit power or cut off power transmission.

[0050] Therefore, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the clutch pedal, brake pedal 121 and accelerator pedal 122 can move back and forth together with the footrest 11 to change the front and rear positions of the clutch pedal, brake pedal 121 and accelerator pedal 122. Moreover, the movement of the brake pedal 121 and accelerator pedal 122 is more flexible, the adjustment range is larger, and the application range is wider.

[0051] When starting, the driver 400 needs to depress the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch, separating the engine from the transmission system. Then, the driver gradually releases the clutch pedal to allow the clutch to engage, while simultaneously pressing the accelerator pedal 122 to ensure a smooth start. When shifting gears, the driver 400 first depresses the clutch pedal to temporarily disengage the engine from the transmission, then shifts to the appropriate gear. After releasing the clutch pedal, the engine's power is transmitted back to the transmission, driving the vehicle. During driving, the driver 400 needs to flexibly operate the clutch pedal, brake pedal 121, and accelerator pedal 122 according to road conditions and vehicle speed. For example, when decelerating or stopping, the driver 400 needs to depress the brake pedal 121; when accelerating, the driver needs to depress the accelerator pedal 122; and when shifting gears, the driver needs to depress the clutch pedal first. Thus, through the coordinated operation of the clutch pedal, brake pedal 121, and accelerator pedal 122, the functions of starting, accelerating, decelerating, and stopping the vehicle are achieved.

[0052] In some embodiments, the sliding mounting portion 111 is configured as a slide rail that extends in the front-rear direction, specifically, as shown in the example. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the slide rail can be set between the footrest 11 and the floor 300. The slide rail itself has the characteristic of linear motion. The slide rail is set to extend in the front-back direction, and the relative sliding of the footrest 11 and the floor 300 in the front-back direction can be realized through the slide rail.

[0053] Furthermore, the fixed side of the slide rail can be connected to the floor 300, and the sliding side of the slide rail can be connected to the footrest 11, allowing the footrest 11 to slide relative to the floor 300 in the front-back direction. The footrest 11 is also connected to the brake pedal 121, accelerator pedal 122, and clutch pedal, so that the brake pedal 121, accelerator pedal 122, and clutch pedal can move back and forth with the footrest 11 to achieve the front-back adjustment of the pedal module 1, so that the driver 400 can easily step on each pedal of the pedal module 1 to improve driving comfort.

[0054] The sliding mounting part 111 can also be constructed as a multi-link structure, a piston-driven structure, or a magnetic levitation structure, all of which enable the pedal module 1 to adjust its front and rear positions. The configuration methods are diverse and can be selectively set according to actual usage requirements.

[0055] In some embodiments, the driving structure 2 is configured as a driving motor, a motor shaft of the driving motor is provided with a driving gear 21, the slide rail is provided with a rack portion, and the driving gear 21 is engaged with the rack portion for driving the slide rail to slide in the front-rear direction.

[0056] Specifically, the driving force of the driving motor can be sequentially transmitted to the driving gear 21 and the rack portion, so that the driving motor is rotated to drive the driving gear 21 to rotate, and the driving gear 21 is engaged with the rack portion for transmission, wherein the driving motor is a fixed end, and the slide rail can slide relative to the floor 300 in the front-rear direction.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the motor shaft of the driving motor extends in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction, that is, the motor shaft of the driving motor can extend in the left-right direction or the up-down direction, and the arrangement mode is various and can be flexibly selected. The output end of the motor shaft of the driving motor is connected with the driving gear 21, at least part of the slide rail is provided with the rack portion, that is, the engagement between the rack portion and the teeth of the driving gear 21 can be achieved, and the rotary motion of the driving motor can be converted into the linear motion of the slide rail, thereby realizing the linear motion of the footrest plate 11, and the structure is simple, the assembly is convenient, and the cost is low.

[0058] The driving motor can be detachably connected to the floor 300 or other positions of the cab by bolts or other fasteners. The driving motor can be arranged on the side of the footrest plate 11 of the pedal module 1 away from the driver 400, so that the driving motor is hidden in the pedal module 1, and the external structure of the overall structure is regular and not complicated.

[0059] In addition, under the premise that the cab space is sufficient, the output shaft of the driving motor can be arranged in the front-rear direction, so that the sliding installation portion 111 can be configured as a lead screw sliding table mechanism, wherein the sliding table is connected with the footrest plate 11, the lead screw is connected with the floor 300, the driving motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the sliding table moves linearly relative to the lead screw to make the footrest plate 11 slide forward and backward with the sliding table. The arrangement mode is simple and the assembly is convenient.

[0060] In some embodiments, the slide rail is a plurality of slide rails, and the plurality of slide rails are distributed at the bottom of the footrest plate 11 in a spaced manner and arranged in parallel.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the plurality of slide rails are distributed on the bottom of the footrest 11 in the transverse direction of the vehicle, can uniformly support the bottom of the footrest 11, and are arranged in parallel, i.e., their directions are consistent, without crossing or tilting. In this way, the plurality of slide rails can simultaneously slide forward and backward relative to the floor 300, i.e., can simultaneously drive the footrest 11 to slide forward and backward in multiple positions, improving the reliability and stability of the forward and backward sliding of the footrest 11, so that the relative positions of the footrest 11, the brake pedal 121, the accelerator pedal 122, etc. can be more stable, and the accuracy of the forward and backward adjustment of the pedal module 1 is improved.

[0062] In this embodiment, the slide rails are two, arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the bottom of the footrest 11, and distributed at both ends of the footrest 11 in the width direction, which can jointly bear the weight and reduce the shaking, thereby ensuring the smooth sliding of the footrest 11. The number of slide rails is not limited to the embodiment described herein, and can be selectively arranged according to actual space requirements.

[0063] Therefore, compared with a single slide rail, the plurality of slide rails have stronger load-bearing capacity, can reduce the load of each slide rail by jointly bearing the weight, thereby prolonging the service life of the slide rail, and the spaced-apart slide rails can reduce friction and resistance during sliding, making the footrest 11 slide more smoothly. At the same time, the parallel arrangement can also ensure that the footrest 11 maintains straight-line motion during sliding, avoiding deviation or jamming, and improving the reliability of frequent movement.

[0064] In addition, a plurality of slide rails can be detachably connected to the footrest 11 by bolts or other fasteners, and the connection method is simple, easy to disassemble and assemble, and convenient to maintain.

[0065] In some embodiments, the driving structure 2 is one, connected to one of the plurality of slide rails. In this way, the driving structure 2 can be connected to the power of any one of the plurality of slide rails, so that when the driving structure 2 drives the connected slide rail to move linearly, the other slide rails will also move linearly at the same time, i.e., one driving structure 2 can drive multiple slide rails to slide forward and backward at the same time. The setting method is simple, easy to install, and the number of driving structures 2 can be reduced to reduce the cost of setting. The first driving structure 2 can be arranged between the plurality of slide rails, which can make the overall structure more compact and not occupy extra space.

[0066] Alternatively, there can be multiple drive structures 2, each connected to a corresponding slide rail. This allows each drive structure 2 to drive its corresponding slide rail in linear motion. Simultaneous operation of multiple drive structures 2 ensures that all slide rails slide linearly at the same time, resulting in more consistent movement and improved stability and reliability of the footrest 11. Furthermore, multiple drive structures 2 allow for direct input of driving force to the slide rails, reducing the total driving force of a single slide rail. The specifications of multiple drive structures 2 can be smaller than a single drive structure 2, thus reducing costs. Therefore, the driving method for multiple slide rails is not unique and can be selectively configured according to actual needs.

[0067] This utility model also proposes a vehicle.

[0068] The vehicle according to the present invention includes a pedal assembly 100 for the vehicle according to any of the above embodiments. The pedal assembly 100 is detachably installed in the lower front space of the driver's cab of the vehicle. The pedal assembly includes a pedal module 1 and a drive structure 2. The drive structure 2 is connected to a footrest 11. The footrest 11 is slidably engaged with the floor 300. The footrest 11 is connected to a pedal component 12. The drive structure 2 can drive the footrest 11 and the pedal component 12 to slide in the front-back direction, so as to realize the position adjustment of the pedal module 1 in the front-back direction. This can meet the leg length requirements of different drivers 400, thereby improving driving comfort. In addition, the front-back sliding of the pedal module 1 can fix the seat, thereby reducing the need for seat adjustment devices and lowering the overall height of the seat, thereby reducing the vertical height of the vehicle and reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0069] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a driver's seat 200 and a floor 300. The driver's seat 200 is located behind the pedal assembly. The floor 300 is provided with a sliding engagement portion 301. The sliding mounting portion 111 and the sliding engagement portion 301 are slidably engaged in the front-rear direction, so that the positions of the pedal module 1 and the driver's seat 200 in the front-rear direction are adjustable.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, one of the multiple slide rails is connected to the drive structure 2. This slide rail and the drive structure 2 are the active end, while the other slide rails are the driven ends. That is, the other slide rails can be connected to the footrest 11 of the pedal module 1, and as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the floor 300 is provided with a sliding engagement part 301. The sliding engagement part 301 is a fixed end that is connected to the floor 300. In this way, the sliding mounting part 111 can slide linearly relative to the sliding engagement part 301, which can realize the back-and-forth sliding of the pedal module 1.

[0071] The rear side of the pedal module 1 is provided with a driver seat 200 for the driver 400 to sit on, and the driver seat 200 is located at the rear side of the pedal assembly, and the distance between the two is the seating space of the driver 400. Through the front and rear sliding of the pedal module 1 described above, the distance between the pedal module 1 and the driver seat 200 in the front and rear direction can be adjusted, so that the driving needs of different drivers 400 can be met.

[0072] Further, when the driver 400 with longer legs drives the vehicle, the pedal module 1 can be adjusted to move forward relative to the floor 300 when the driver 400 sits on the driver seat 200 to increase the distance between the pedal module 1 and the driver seat 200, so that the driver 400 with longer legs can comfortably step on the pedal module 1. When the driver 400 with shorter legs drives the vehicle, the pedal module 1 can be adjusted to move backward relative to the floor 300 when the driver 400 sits on the driver seat 200 to reduce the distance between the pedal module 1 and the driver seat 200, so that the driver 400 with shorter legs can also step on the pedal module 1.

[0073] Therefore, by adjusting the front and rear positions of the pedal module 1 relative to the driver seat 200, the front and rear positions of the pedal module 1 can be more suitable to meet the driving needs of drivers 400 with different leg lengths, and the sitting posture of the driver 400 is more comfortable, which can reduce the feeling of driving fatigue and improve driving safety.

[0074] In some embodiments, the driver seat 200 is fixedly installed on the floor 300, that is, the driver seat 200 is fixed relative to the floor 300 and does not move. In this way, when the distance between the driver seat 200 and the pedal module 1 needs to be changed, the front and rear positions of the pedal module 1 relative to the driver seat 200 can be adjusted, so that the driver 400 can step on the pedal module 1 while sitting on the driver seat 200 in a more comfortable sitting posture and with a better driving feeling. The driver seat 200 has a large weight, and the driving force for driving the driver seat 200 to slide forward and backward is larger, and the setting cost is higher. By setting the pedal module 1 to slide forward and backward, the setting cost of the driving structure 2 can be reduced.
