TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a protective shell, a pedal device and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The chassis of the pick-up and SUV vehicles on the market is usually high, so such vehicles usually install electric pedals to assist people to get on and off the vehicle. The conventional electric pedal is usually installed at the position close to the side skirt of the vehicle chassis. Since the pedal needs to be extended from the vehicle chassis or the side skirt to facilitate people to get on and off the vehicle, the electric pedal mechanism is a moving part and cannot be blocked by anything, so the conventional electric pedal on the market is directly nakedly installed on the vehicle chassis. Such a way has three problems: first, the completely exposed running mechanism will be eroded by water, mud, sand, stone and the like on the road for a long time, causing the mechanism to be blocked or the bearing part to be easily worn; second, the exposed pedal and other important running parts are easily damaged by impact.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0032] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] Embodiments of this application provide a protective shell, a pedal device, and a vehicle. The pedal device is installed on the vehicle to assist people in getting on and off the vehicle. The protective shell is installed on the pedal device or on the vehicle. The pedal device can be housed in the protective shell, which provides protection for the pedal device and prevents it from being affected by collisions and debris.

[0035] Firstly, embodiments of this application provide a protective shell, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the protective shell includes a first shell 100, a second shell 200, and a connector 300. The second shell 200 and the first shell 100 are arranged sequentially along a first direction 90°, with a gap between them. The connector 300 is located at the gap, and a protective groove 500 is provided at the connector 300. The protective groove 500 is used to accommodate the pedal device. The protective groove 500 is arranged along the first direction 90°.

[0036] For example, the first direction 900 is the vehicle's forward or reverse direction. In this embodiment, the first direction 900 is the vehicle's forward direction.

[0037] During the vehicle's forward movement, the first housing 100 can protect the pedal device located in the protective groove 500. The first housing 100 replaces the pedal device in collisions, thus preventing damage to the pedal device.

[0038] During vehicle reversing, the second housing 200 can protect the pedal device located in the protective groove 500. The second housing 200 replaces the pedal device in collision. Therefore, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 are arranged one in front of the other in the front-rear direction of the pedal device, which can reduce the collision of the pedal device, improve the service life of the pedal device and reduce the maintenance cost of the pedal device.

[0039] Therefore, in this application, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 form a protective groove 500 to house the pedal device. This structure ensures that, during vehicle forward or reverse movement, regardless of the direction of the collision, a corresponding housing (first housing 100 or second housing 200) will absorb the impact, effectively protecting the pedal device from collision damage. By reducing the chance of the pedal device being directly impacted, this protective structure significantly improves the service life of the pedal device. As an important auxiliary component for getting in and out of a vehicle, the stability and durability of the pedal device are crucial to the overall performance of the vehicle and the safety of passengers. Because the pedal device is effectively protected, the possibility of damage due to collisions or debris is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements, and consequently lowering vehicle maintenance costs.

[0040] Furthermore, during vehicle operation, the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 can, to a certain extent, prevent mud and sand stirred up by the rotating wheels from entering the protective groove 500 and the pedal device. Therefore, in this application, the arrangement of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 not only provides collision protection but also, to a certain extent, prevents mud and sand stirred up by the rotating wheels from entering the protective groove 500 and the pedal device. This helps to keep the pedal device clean and reduces malfunctions or damage caused by the accumulation of mud and sand.

[0041] In one embodiment, the connector 300 is integrally formed to connect the first housing 100 and the second housing 200.

[0042] like Figure 6As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the connector 300 perpendicular to the first direction 900 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first housing 100 perpendicular to the first direction 900, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the connector 300 perpendicular to the first direction 900 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second housing 200 perpendicular to the first direction 900, so as to form a recessed protective groove 500 at the connector 300 between the first housing 100 and the second housing 200.

[0043] In this application, the connector 300 is integrally formed to connect the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. This design ensures the robustness of the connection and improves the strength and stability of the overall structure. The integral design reduces gaps and potential weaknesses at the connection, making the entire structure more robust and durable.

[0044] In this application, by forming a recessed protective groove 500 at the connector 300, the pedal device can be better housed in the protective groove 500, thereby enabling the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 to better protect the pedal device.

[0045] In this application, the presence of the connector 300 can limit the pedal device from excessively entering the protective groove 500. This means that when the pedal device interacts with the protective groove 500, the connector 300 can act as a physical barrier to prevent the pedal device from going too deep or damaging the protective groove 500, thereby maintaining the integrity and functionality of the structure.

[0046] However, in another embodiment, the connector 300 separately connects the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the protective shell also includes an end panel 400. An end panel 400 is provided on one end of the first shell 100 near the protective groove 500, and an end panel 400 is provided on one end of the second shell 200 near the protective groove 500.

[0047] The connector 300 connects the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 via an end panel 400. For example, one end of the connector 300 is connected to the end panel 400 on the first housing 100, and the other end of the connector 300 is connected to the end panel 400 on the second housing 200, thereby connecting the first housing 100 and the second housing 200. The connection method between the end panel 400 on the first housing 100 and the first housing 100 is, for example, welding, gluing, bolting, or snap-fitting; the connection method between the end panel 400 on the second housing 200 and the second housing 200 is, for example, welding, gluing, bolting, or snap-fitting; and the connection method between the connector 300 and the end panel 400 is, for example, welding, gluing, bolting, or snap-fitting.

[0048] As the pedal device is used, the mechanical structure will experience some wear, which may cause problems such as shaking during operation. When the pedal device is stored or removed from the protective slot 500, it will rub against the protective shell. The end panel 400 can replace the first shell 100 and the second shell 200 in rubbing against the pedal device. Furthermore, the end panel 400 is separately provided from the first shell 100 or the second shell 200.

[0049] Therefore, in this application, by providing an end panel 400 at one end of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 near the protective groove 500, when the pedal device is retracted or removed from the protective groove 500, the end panel 400 will replace the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 in generating friction with the pedal device. This design effectively reduces the direct wear of the first housing 100 and the second housing 200, thereby improving their service life.

[0050] In this application, the end panel 400 is separately configured from the first housing 100 or the second housing 200. This means that when the end panel 400 is worn or damaged, it can be easily removed and replaced with a new end panel 400 without replacing the entire housing. This design greatly reduces maintenance costs and difficulty, and improves the availability and reliability of the machinery.

[0051] In this application, the end panel 400 serves as a buffer layer between the housing and the pedal assembly, reducing wear on the housing. When subjected to external impact or collision, the end panel 400 can absorb and disperse the force, thereby mitigating damage to the protective housing.

[0052] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the first housing 100 has a first protective end and a second protective end, the second protective end being the end near the protective groove 500.

[0053] Along a direction perpendicular to the first direction 90°, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first protective end is smaller than that of the second protective end. The first housing 100 has a first inclined end face 110 connecting the first protective end and the second protective end. The first inclined end face 110 is inclined to the first direction 90°.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first inclined end face 110 includes multiple end faces, and adjacent end faces are connected and have an included angle.

[0055] When the vehicle is moving, such as Figure 8As shown, when the obstacle 920 collides with the first housing 100, the first inclined end face 110 is inclined relative to the first direction 900, which can reduce the contact between the obstacle 920 and the first inclined end face 110 and reduce scratches 910. However, if the first inclined end face 110 is arranged parallel to the first direction 900, such as... Figure 9 As shown, this will increase the contact between the obstacle 920 and the first inclined end face 110, and increase the length of the scratch 910.

[0056] Therefore, in this embodiment, the first housing 100 is designed to have a first inclined end face 110, which is inclined in the first direction of vehicle movement 900. When an obstacle 920 collides with the first housing 100, the inclined design of the first inclined end face 110 reduces the contact area and contact time between the obstacle 920 and the end face, thereby effectively reducing the generation and length of scratches 910. This design helps protect the appearance and structural integrity of the first housing 100 and extends its service life.

[0057] In this embodiment, the inclined first inclined end face 110 can disperse the impact force over a larger area when impacted by the obstacle 920, reducing localized stress and thus improving the impact resistance of the first housing 100. This design makes the first housing 100 more robust and reliable in the face of accidental collisions.

[0058] In this embodiment, the inclined design of the first housing 100 not only helps reduce scratches 910, but may also have a positive impact on the vehicle's aerodynamic performance. The inclined end face can reduce air resistance, reduce wind noise, and improve the vehicle's driving stability and fuel economy.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the first housing 100 has a first step surface 120 connecting a first protective end and a second protective end, the first step surface 120 being parallel to a first direction 900. Exemplarily, the first direction 900 is a horizontal direction, and the first step surface 120 is horizontally positioned.

[0060] In addition to the pedal device providing a foothold for passengers to get on and off the vehicle, in this embodiment, the first foothold end face 120 provided on the first housing 100 also provides a stable and parallel foothold for passengers to get on and off the vehicle. This design makes it easier for passengers to find a support point when getting on and off the vehicle, reducing the difficulty of getting on and off the vehicle. Especially for the elderly, children or people with disabilities, this design greatly improves their travel convenience.

[0061] In one embodiment, the second housing 200 has a first protective end and a second protective end, the first protective end being the end near the protective groove 500.

[0062] Along a direction perpendicular to the first direction 900, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first protective end is greater than that of the second protective end. The second housing 200 has a second inclined end face 210 connecting the first protective end and the second protective end. The second inclined end face 210 is inclined relative to the first direction 900.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the second inclined end face 210 includes multiple end faces, and adjacent end faces are connected and have an included angle.

[0064] Similarly, the second inclined end face 210 is inclined relative to the first direction 900, which can reduce the scratches 910 and wear caused by the obstacle 920 to the second housing 200.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the second housing 200 has a second step end face 220 connecting the first protective end and the second protective end, the second step end face 220 being parallel to the first direction 900.

[0066] In addition to the pedal device providing a stepping position for people to get on and off the vehicle, in this embodiment, the second stepping end face 220 provided on the second housing 200 also provides a stable and parallel stepping position for people to get on and off the vehicle.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, along the first direction 90°, the ratio X of the length A of the first housing 100 to the length B of the protective groove 500 satisfies 0.3 ≤ X ≤ 0.4. For example, when the length A of the first housing 100 is 498 mm, the length B of the protective groove 500 is 1395 mm, and X is approximately 0.36; as another example, when the length A of the first housing 100 is 490 mm, the length B of the protective groove 500 is 1400 mm, and X is approximately 0.35.

[0068] Along the first direction 90°, the ratio of the length C of the second housing 200 to the length B of the protective groove 500 is Y, where 0.2 ≤ Y ≤ 0.3. For example, the length A of the second housing 200 is 398 mm, and the length B of the protective groove 500 is 1395 mm.

[0069] A pedal device is installed inside the protective groove 500. A first step end face 120 is provided on the first housing 100, and a second step end face 220 is provided on the second housing 200. The ratio of the length A of the first housing 100 to the length B of the protective groove 500 is within the range X, and the ratio of the length C of the second housing 200 to the length B of the protective groove 500 is within the range Y. This can avoid the problem of increased manufacturing costs caused by the lengthening of the pedal device, and can also make up for the angle of getting on and off the vehicle that the pedal device may not be able to accommodate through the first step end face 120 and the second step end face 220, so as to make it convenient for front and rear passengers to get on and off the vehicle.

[0070] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a pedal device, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the pedal device includes a protective shell and a pedal 600 as described in any of the above embodiments. The pedal 600 can be housed in the protective groove 500 of the protective shell.

[0071] For example, the pedal 600 retracts or ejects the protective slot 500 via a drive mechanism. (As...) Figure 1 As shown, the pedal 600 is retracted into the protective groove 500. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the pedal 600 extends out of the protective groove 500.

[0072] In this application, the pedal 600 of the pedal device is equipped with a protective shell, which can better protect the pedal 600 and prevent the pedal 600 from the influence of obstacles 920 or mud and sand.

[0073] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including a side skirt 700, a ramp 800, and a pedal device as described in the above embodiments.

[0074] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side skirt 700 provides a mounting base for the pedal assembly.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, the code plate 800 connects the side skirt plate 700 and the pedal device.

[0076] For example, two code plates 800 are provided, namely a first code plate 800 and a second code plate 800. The first code plate 800 connects the side skirt plate 700 and the first housing 100, and the second code plate 800 connects the side skirt plate 700 and the second housing 200. One end of the first code plate 800 is threadedly connected to the side skirt plate 700, and the other end is threadedly connected to the first housing 100. One end of the second code plate 800 is threadedly connected to the side skirt plate 700, and the other end is threadedly connected to the second housing 200. The code plates 800 fix the first housing 100 and the second housing 200 onto the side skirt plate 700. Of course, the connection method between the code plate 800 and the side skirt plate 700 and the protective housing is not limited to threaded connection; it can also be snap-fit, welding, or riveting, etc.

[0077] In another embodiment, other numbers of code plates 800 may be provided, such as four. Two code plates 800 fix the first housing 100 to the side skirt 700, and the other two code plates 800 fix the second housing 200 to the side skirt 700. The fixing method may be, for example, bolt connection, snap-fit, welding or riveting.

[0078] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
