Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0038] It needs to be noted that the foot pedal 5 is one of the accessories of the railway freight car, which is installed on the railway freight car compartment for the staff to step in and out of the freight car compartment; the foot pedal 5 comprises a cylindrical support rod 51, and two support feet 52 curved towards the same side and connected with both ends of the support rod 51 respectively, and each support foot 52 adopts a flat structure; the foot pedal 5 is processed from a blank 6 with Q235A material and φ16mm specification, and the general process is to cut the blank 6 into a required bar first, then cold-press forming through a die to obtain a π-shaped structure, and finally hot forging and flattening two end portions to obtain two flat support feet 52.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 7 , the forming die for producing the foot pedal provided by the present application will be described. The forming die for producing the foot pedal comprises a lower die plate 1 and an upper die plate 2.
