Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a pedal device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Car side steps are installed at the door sills to protect the vehicle and facilitate passenger entry and exit. With advancements in technology, traditional cars, such as SUVs and pickup trucks, often have side steps installed at the bottom of the doors to meet their specific needs. Since these vehicles have a higher ground clearance, passengers rely on these side steps for safe entry and exit. However, if these side steps are always extended, it can interfere with driving and increase the risk of damage. Therefore, most modern cars utilize a drive mechanism to retract and extend the side steps.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, most drive mechanisms are directly mounted on the car chassis. On the one hand, the exposed drive mechanism is easily corroded by water, mud, sand, stones, etc. or impacted, which affects its service life. On the other hand, the exposed drive mechanism also has the problem of poor aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a pedal device to solve the technical problem that the drive mechanism in the prior art is mostly directly mounted on the car chassis, resulting in short service life and poor aesthetics.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides:

[0006] A pedal device, comprising:

[0007] Vehicle side skirts;

[0008] A drive component is disposed on one side of the vehicle side skirt;

[0009] The linkage assembly has one end connected to the output end of the drive component;

[0010] The pedal component is connected to the end of the linkage assembly away from the drive component;

[0011] A protective component is disposed on the side of the vehicle side skirt close to the drive member, the drive member is located between the vehicle side skirt and the protective component, the pedal is located on the side of the protective component away from the vehicle side skirt, and the protective component has a clearance hole adapted to the linkage assembly.

[0012] In addition, the pedal device according to this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the protective component is provided with a receiving groove that is adapted to the shape of the pedal component.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the length of the protective component is greater than the length of the pedal component.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the pedal device further includes a connector that is connected to the protective assembly and the vehicle side skirt, respectively.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the pedal device further includes a fastener, one end of which is welded to the protective component, and the other end is fastened to the vehicle side skirt via the fastener.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, multiple connectors are provided, and the multiple connectors are spaced apart along the length direction of the protective component.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the protective assembly includes a bottom guard plate, a first side guard plate, and a second side guard plate. The drive member is located between the vehicle side skirt and the bottom guard plate. The bottom guard plate is connected to the vehicle side skirt via the connector. The first side guard plate and the second side guard plate are respectively connected to two opposite ends of the bottom guard plate. The pedal member is located between the first side guard plate and the second side guard plate.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the protective component further includes a decorative panel disposed on the bottom protective plate and located between the first side protective plate and the second side protective plate, wherein the decorative panel, the first side protective plate and the second side protective plate form the receiving groove.

[0021] Secondly, this application also provides a vehicle including the pedal device described in any of the above embodiments.

[0022] Compared to existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0023] This application proposes a pedal device, which includes a vehicle side skirt, a drive unit, a linkage assembly, a pedal component, and a protective assembly. The drive unit is disposed on one side of the vehicle side skirt, and both ends of the linkage assembly are connected to the output end of the drive unit and the pedal component, respectively. Driven by the drive unit, the linkage assembly rotates the pedal component, thereby achieving the function of automatically retracting and opening the pedal component. By placing the protective assembly on the side of the vehicle side skirt near the drive unit, and positioning the drive unit between the side skirt and the protective assembly, the protective assembly can shield the drive unit and the end of the linkage assembly near the drive unit. This protects the drive unit and linkage assembly near the drive unit from erosion by water, mud, sand, stones, etc., or from impact, effectively extending the service life of this end. Furthermore, it prevents the user from directly seeing the structure of the drive unit and linkage assembly near the drive unit, effectively improving aesthetics. By creating clearance holes on the protective assembly that are compatible with the linkage assembly, it is possible to facilitate the connection between the end of the linkage assembly away from the drive component and the pedal component through the clearance hole, so that the pedal component is located on the side of the protective assembly away from the vehicle side skirt, thereby making it easier for users to get on and off the vehicle using the pedal component. On the other hand, it also provides rotation space for the linkage assembly, thereby driving the pedal component to rotate to realize the retraction and opening functions of the pedal component.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a pedal device 100, mainly used in vehicles. The pedal device 100 includes a vehicle side skirt 110, a drive member 120, a linkage assembly 130, a pedal member 140, and a protective assembly 150.

[0043] See also Figure 3 The drive member 120 is disposed on one side of the vehicle side skirt 110, one end of the linkage assembly 130 is connected to the output end of the drive member 120, and the pedal member 140 is connected to the end of the linkage assembly 130 away from the drive member 120.

[0044] The protective component 150 is disposed on the side of the vehicle side skirt 110 near the drive member 120. The drive member 120 is located between the vehicle side skirt 110 and the protective component 150. The pedal member 140 is located on the side of the protective component 150 away from the vehicle side skirt 110. The protective component 150 has a clearance hole 151 adapted to the linkage assembly 130.

[0045] The pedal device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application has a drive member 120 disposed on one side of the vehicle side skirt 110, and the two ends of the linkage assembly 130 are respectively connected to the output end of the drive member 120 and the pedal member 140, so that the pedal member 140 is driven to rotate by the linkage assembly 130 under the drive of the drive member 120, thereby realizing the function of automatically retracting and opening the pedal member 140.

[0046] By placing the protective component 150 on the side of the vehicle side skirt 110 near the drive component 120, and positioning the drive component 120 between the side skirt 110 and the protective component 150, the protective component 150 can shield the drive component 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive component 120. This protects the end of the drive component 120 and connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive component 120 from erosion by water, mud, sand, stones, or impacts, effectively extending their service life. Furthermore, it prevents the structure of the drive component 120 and connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive component 120 from being directly visible to the user, thus improving aesthetics. This avoids the technical problems of existing technologies where drive mechanisms are mostly directly mounted on the vehicle chassis, resulting in short service life and poor aesthetics.

[0047] By providing a clearance hole 151 on the protective assembly 150 that is compatible with the linkage assembly 130, it is possible for the end of the linkage assembly 130 away from the drive member 120 to pass through the clearance hole 151 and connect with the pedal member 140, so that the pedal member 140 is located on the side of the protective assembly 150 away from the vehicle side skirt member 110, thereby facilitating the user to get on and off the vehicle using the pedal member 140; on the other hand, it also provides rotation space for the linkage assembly 130, thereby driving the pedal member 140 to rotate to realize the retraction and opening functions of the pedal member 140.

[0048] For example, the drive element 120 can be a motor.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the protective component 150 is provided with a receiving groove 152 that is adapted to the shape of the pedal component 140.

[0050] In this embodiment, by providing a receiving groove 152 on the protective component 150 that matches the shape of the pedal component 140, when the pedal component 140 is not in use, the driving component 120 can drive the pedal component 140 to retract into the receiving groove 152 through the driving linkage assembly 130, thereby accommodating the pedal component 140 and making the pedal component 140 and the protective component 150 look like a whole, thus further improving the aesthetics.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the above embodiments of this application, the length of the protective component 150 is greater than the length of the pedal component 140.

[0052] In this embodiment, by setting the length of the protective component 150 to be greater than the length of the pedal component 140, the two ends of the protective component 150 protrude from the pedal component 140 in the length direction. Thus, when the pedal component 140 is retracted into the receiving groove 152, the two ends of the protective component 150 can protect the two ends of the pedal component 140, effectively reducing the probability of damage to the pedal component 140.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the pedal device 100 further includes a connector 160, which is connected to the protective assembly 150 and the vehicle side skirt 110 respectively.

[0054] In this embodiment, by providing connectors 160 that are connected to the protective component 150 and the vehicle side skirt 110 respectively, the protective component 150 is securely mounted on the side of the vehicle side skirt 110 near the drive member 120 via the connectors 160, thus ensuring the installation stability of the protective component 150.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the pedal device 100 further includes a fastener 170, one end of the connector 160 is welded to the protective component 150, and the other end is fastened to the vehicle side skirt 110 through the fastener 170.

[0056] In this embodiment, by welding one end of the connector 160 to the protective component 150, the connector 160 and the protective component 150 are integrated, which not only ensures the connection stability of the two, but also eliminates the assembly steps of the protective component 150 and the connector 160, improving installation efficiency. At the same time, by fastening the other end of the connector 160 to the vehicle side skirt 110 with the fastener 170, the protective component 150 and the connector 160 are securely mounted on the vehicle side skirt 110, and the protective component 150 and the connector 160 can be detached from the vehicle side skirt 110, thereby facilitating the installation, maintenance, and replacement of the protective component 150.

[0057] For example, fastener 170 can fasten bolts.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, multiple connectors 160 are provided, and the multiple connectors 160 are spaced apart along the length direction of the protective component 150.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting the number of connectors 160 to multiple and arranging the multiple connectors 160 at intervals along the length direction of the protective component 150, the installation stability of the protective component 150 is further improved.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the protective component 150 includes a bottom guard plate 153, a first side guard plate 154, and a second side guard plate 155. The drive member 120 is located between the vehicle side skirt 110 and the bottom guard plate 153. The bottom guard plate 153 is connected to the vehicle side skirt 110 through the connector 160. The first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155 are respectively connected to the two opposite ends of the bottom guard plate 153. The pedal member 140 is located between the first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155.

[0061] In this embodiment, the underbody protection plate 153 is connected to the vehicle side skirt 110 via a connector 160. By placing the drive component 120 between the vehicle side skirt 110 and the underbody protection plate 153, the underbody protection plate 153 can cover the bottom of the drive component 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive component 120. This protects the bottom of the drive component 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive component 120 from erosion or impact by water, mud, sand, stones, etc., effectively extending the service life of the drive component 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive component 120. On the other hand, it also prevents users from directly seeing the bottom structure of the drive component 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive component 120, effectively improving aesthetics.

[0062] Meanwhile, by connecting the first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155 to the two opposite ends of the bottom guard plate 153 respectively, the two sides of the drive member 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive member 120 are covered. This can protect the two sides of the drive member 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive member 120, and also prevent the user from directly seeing the structure of the two sides of the drive member 120 and the connecting rod assembly 130 near the drive member 120 with the naked eye.

[0063] Furthermore, by positioning the pedal component 140 between the first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155, when the pedal component 140 retracts into the receiving groove 152, the first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155 can protect both ends of the pedal component 140, effectively reducing the probability of damage to the pedal component 140. In addition, the first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155 can also prevent the tire from splashing water, mud, sand, stones, and other debris onto the pedal component 140.

[0064] like Figure 1As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the protective component 150 further includes a decorative panel 156, which is disposed on the bottom protective plate 153 and located between the first side protective plate 154 and the second side protective plate 155. The decorative panel 156, the first side protective plate 154 and the second side protective plate 155 form the receiving groove 152.

[0065] In this embodiment, by providing a decorative plate 156 on the bottom guard plate 153 between the first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155, on the one hand, the decorative plate 156, the first side guard plate 154 and the second side guard plate 155 form the aforementioned receiving groove 152 for accommodating the pedal component 140. On the other hand, the decorative plate 156 can also serve a decorative purpose, preventing the user from seeing the internal structure such as the drive component 120 with the naked eye, thus effectively improving the aesthetics.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the bottom protective plate 153 is provided with a drainage hole 1531.

[0067] In this embodiment, drainage holes 1531 are provided on the bottom protective plate 153 to prevent water accumulation inside the bottom protective plate 153 from causing corrosion to the drive component 120, connecting rod assembly 130, etc.

[0068] This application also provides a vehicle including the pedal device 100 described in the above embodiments.

[0069] The vehicle having any of the above embodiments therefore has all the beneficial effects of the pedal device 100, which will not be described in detail here.
