[0002] Car pedals are indispensable components in vehicle operation, allowing drivers to precisely control acceleration, braking, and clutch disengagement through foot movements. Traditional pedal designs typically fix these components in specific positions within the vehicle, limiting pedal flexibility and hindering ergonomic optimization. As the automotive industry continues to advance, the requirements for pedal design have become increasingly stringent.

[0003] During the conversion of autonomous special vehicles, it is necessary to retain the positions of the brake and accelerator pedals. However, due to the limitations of vehicle layout space, the existing pedal design on the vehicle cannot meet the conversion requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a compact and durable pedal structure to replace the fixed pedals on the vehicle to meet specific installation requirements. Utility Model Content

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, a pedal is provided, such as Figures 1 to 3 The diagram shows a schematic of a pedal structure. The pedal includes a base 1, a rotating bracket 2, a connecting bracket 3, and a foot pedal 4. The rotating bracket 2 is movably installed within the base 1. One end of the rotating bracket 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting bracket 3, and the other end of the connecting bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the foot pedal 4. The foot pedal 4 can move in conjunction with the connecting bracket 3 and the rotating bracket 2, and can swing relative to the base 1. The fixed connection between the rotating bracket 2 and the connecting bracket 3 can be detachable, and the fixed connection between the connecting bracket 3 and the foot pedal 4 can also be detachable.

[0033] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the rotating bracket 2 is movably installed inside the base 1. By adjusting the shape and structure of the rotating bracket 2, it can be adapted to the base 1, and the initial angle and maximum rotation angle of the rotating bracket 2 can be controlled. The rotating bracket 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the adapter bracket 3, and the other end of the adapter bracket 3 is detachably connected to the foot pedal 4. For example, the adapter bracket 3 and the foot pedal 4 can be connected by screws to ensure the reliability of the installation. Under the action of the external force of the driver stepping on the pedal, the foot pedal 4 can be linked with the adapter bracket 3 and the rotating bracket 2, and can swing at multiple angles relative to the base 1.

[0034] Therefore, the pedal in this embodiment has the following advantages: on the one hand, it can realize the flexible swing function of the pedal, and its structure is simpler and more compact, which makes it easier to install, disassemble and maintain, saving the layout space of the whole vehicle; on the other hand, the pedal can be installed in different positions of the vehicle in multiple directions to meet the installation requirements in specific scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility of the interior space layout of the vehicle.

[0035] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, a schematic diagram of the internal installation of a pedal is provided. The base 1 includes a first side end 11, a second side end 12, and a bottom 13. The rotating bracket 2 is disposed against the second side end 12 and is rotatably installed in the installation space formed between the first side end 11 and the second side end 12. Thus, under the action of external force, the foot pedal 4 can drive the adapter bracket 3 and the rotating bracket 2 to move together, and the rotating bracket 2 drives the potentiometer lever to swing, thereby realizing the pedal signal acquisition and related control functions of the potentiometer assembly.

[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the bottom 13 of the base 1 is provided with a plurality of evenly arranged mounting holes so that the pedal can be installed in different positions of the vehicle or in different vehicles. The pedal can be assembled and installed using screws, which is not limited here.

[0037] Specifically, the pedal in this embodiment can have multiple placement states. That is, through the mounting holes opened at the bottom of the base 1, the pedal can be installed at multiple angles in different positions inside the vehicle, thereby meeting the installation requirements of the pedal in multiple spatial orientations inside the vehicle. For example, the pedal may include at least Figure 1 The vertical installation state shown, or Figure 2 The horizontal installation state is shown, etc.

[0038] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, a schematic diagram of a split structure of a pedal is provided. For simplicity, screws are not labeled in the figure. The pedal also includes a potentiometer assembly 5, which is fixedly installed with the base 1. The first side end 11 and the second side end 12 are respectively provided with mounting holes for fixing the potentiometer assembly 5.

[0039] Specifically, when the pedal 4 swings up and down, the potentiometer assembly 5 can generate an electrical signal (e.g., a voltage signal) according to the swing state of the pedal 4, and then transmit the voltage signal to the vehicle control system to provide accurate signal feedback, ensure the accuracy and response speed of the pedal action, and thus smoothly execute the driver's corresponding operation and realize the vehicle control function.

[0040] In some embodiments, the pedal further includes an elastic element 6, one end of which abuts against the base 1, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 2. (See reference) Figure 3 As shown, when the driver applies the pedal, the pedal 4 swings downward, causing the adapter bracket 3 and the rotating bracket 2 to rotate downward. At this time, the elastic element 6 is in a compressed state, and the pedal 4 is in the depressed working position. When the driver releases the pedal 4, the elastic element 6 returns to its uncompressed natural state. At this time, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 6 will pull the rotating bracket 2 and the adapter bracket 3 back to their original positions, thereby restoring the pedal 4 to its initial working position.

[0041] Preferably, continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, the elastic element 6 includes a torsion spring. The first side wall 21 of the rotating bracket 2 has a torsion spring mounting hole. The spiral coil of the torsion spring is fitted onto the outside of the potentiometer sleeve 52. One end of the torsion spring abuts against the bottom 13 of the base 1, and the other end of the torsion spring is inserted into the torsion spring mounting hole. By adjusting the material and size of the torsion spring, its elastic feedback function can be better realized.

[0042] refer to Figure 6 As shown, a schematic diagram of a split structure for a potentiometer assembly is provided. (Refer to...) Figure 7 The diagram shows an assembly structure of a potentiometer assembly. In some preferred embodiments, the potentiometer assembly 5 includes at least a potentiometer 51, a potentiometer sleeve 52, and a potentiometer lever 53. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, potentiometer 51 is installed on the outside of the first side end 11, and potentiometer sleeve 52 is installed in the mounting space formed between the first side end 11 and the second side end 12, such that the knob of potentiometer 51 passes through the first side end 11 and extends into the potentiometer sleeve 52; potentiometer lever 53 is installed in a preset lever mounting position in the potentiometer sleeve 52, and the knob of potentiometer 51 is fixed and linked with the potentiometer lever 53. Preferably, potentiometer 51, potentiometer sleeve 52 and base 1 can be fixedly connected by screws, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the pedal assembly.

[0043] In some embodiments, the rotating bracket 2 includes a first sidewall 21 and a second sidewall 22. Both the first sidewall 21 and the second sidewall 22 are provided with through holes. The potentiometer sleeve 52 is fitted with a protective sleeve 54 at one end near the second side end 12 and passes through the through holes on both sides of the rotating bracket 2. This design can avoid wear of parts caused by the rotation of the rotating bracket 2 and further improve the service life of the pedal.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, a schematic diagram of the installation of a potentiometer assembly and a rotating bracket is provided. The first sidewall 21 of the rotating bracket 2 has a rocker arm mounting hole, and the rocker arm end of the potentiometer rocker arm 53 is inserted into the rocker arm mounting hole. Since the potentiometer rocker arm 53 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 2 in this embodiment, during the entire process of the driver applying and releasing the pedal, the rotating bracket 2 can switch from a downward rotation to an upward return state. At this time, the rocker arm end of the potentiometer rocker arm 53 can be driven to swing back and forth through the rotating bracket 2.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, a schematic diagram of the installation of a potentiometer, a potentiometer lever, and a rotating bracket is provided. Since the knob of the potentiometer 51 is fixedly connected to the potentiometer lever 53, when the potentiometer lever 53 swings back and forth, it will also drive the knob of the potentiometer 51 to rotate, thereby realizing the pedal signal acquisition and feedback function of the potentiometer assembly.

[0046] In other embodiments of this application, a vehicle is also proposed that includes a pedal from any of the above embodiments. For example, the pedal in the embodiments of this application can be adapted to one or more of the brake, clutch, or accelerator pedals of a vehicle, thereby enabling multi-angle installation of the pedal and making it compact in structure, adaptable to the installation space of different vehicles. While meeting the needs of vehicle modification, it ensures the flexibility and reliability of pedal operation, thereby improving driving comfort and operating efficiency.

[0047] It should be noted that this application does not limit the number, size, installation position and connection method of the pedal and its various components. The content shown in the above embodiments is only for the purpose of understanding and simplification and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0048] In summary, this application proposes a pedal and a vehicle. The pedal includes a base, a rotating bracket, an adapter bracket, and a foot pedal. By movably mounting the rotating bracket inside the base and connecting the rotating bracket and the foot pedal via the adapter bracket, the foot pedal can be linked with the adapter bracket and the rotating bracket, and can swing at multiple angles relative to the base. Applying the above pedal to a vehicle offers advantages such as a simple and compact structure, convenient installation and disassembly, saving space in the vehicle. Furthermore, the pedal can be installed in different locations within the vehicle to meet installation requirements in specific scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility of the vehicle's interior space layout.
