Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of side pedal technology, specifically a fan-shaped electric side pedal. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, MPVs and SUVs have high ground clearance, offering good road handling and making them popular with consumers. However, due to their high chassis, most MPVs and SUVs have a ground clearance exceeding 20 centimeters, which can make getting in and out of the vehicle inconvenient for passengers. To address this issue, side steps are typically installed on the sides of the doors for easier entry and exit. However, these side steps are usually fixed to the side of the vehicle and are susceptible to damage from scrapes and collisions during driving.

[0003] Existing technology, such as publication number CN217320210U, provides an electric retractable side step for automobiles, including an outer shell and a pedal body movably inserted into the outer shell. The front end of the outer shell is provided with an opening that matches the pedal body. Both sides of the pedal body are provided with linear drive modules that drive it to slide towards the side closer to the opening. A second cleaning brush is provided on the top of the outer shell near the opening, located above the pedal body. When passengers get on and off the vehicle, the pedal body extends from inside the outer shell for easy stepping. During vehicle operation, the pedal body can be easily retracted to prevent the pedal from being impacted or scratched. It provides high stability and meets the requirements of vehicle lightweighting and non-marking installation of the pedal, making it highly practical.

[0004] This design uses an outer shell and a pedal body. The outer shell is mounted on the bottom side of the vehicle body, reducing the overall size. The pedal body is movably connected to the outer shell via a linear drive module and a rotary drive module. When passengers get on and off, the pedal body extends to the outside of the outer shell. During vehicle movement, the pedal body retracts into the outer shell, reducing the vehicle's lateral width and preventing the side pedal from being scratched or bumped. A second cleaning brush is installed at one end of the outer shell, allowing for cleaning of the top of the pedal body during extension and retraction, reducing the need for manual cleaning and preventing dirt from being brought into the outer shell and causing jamming of internal parts. However, in actual use, cleaning the pedal is limited due to gaps between the brush bristles. The cleaning only occurs when the pedal retracts and rubs against the brush, resulting in only moderate cleaning effectiveness, especially for stubborn dirt such as mud. Therefore, we propose a fan-shaped electric side pedal. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fan-shaped electric side pedal, which solves the problem that when the pedal is retracted, it is easy to bring mud into the interior of the outer shell, causing the internal parts to jam.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A fan-shaped electric side pedal includes a housing, with multiple sets of fan-shaped pedals rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the housing. A servo motor for driving the fan-shaped pedals to unfold and retract is provided inside the housing. A cleaning mechanism is provided above the fan-shaped pedals on the housing for scraping off dirt from the surface of the fan-shaped pedals.

[0008] The cleaning mechanism includes a support plate, a scraper is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate, and a spring is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the support plate and the top of the scraper.

[0009] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the top of the fan-shaped pedal, and the scraper abuts against the top of the fan-shaped pedal.

[0010] Preferably, a cavity is provided inside the outer shell below the fan-shaped pedal, and multiple driven wheels are rotatably mounted on the top of the inner wall of the cavity, and each driven wheel is fixedly connected to the corresponding fan-shaped pedal via a rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a slide is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the cavity, and a rack is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide.

[0012] Preferably, the rack has a first tooth fixedly connected to the side near the driven wheel for engaging the driven wheel.

[0013] Preferably, a second tooth is fixedly connected to the side of the rack away from the first tooth, and a drive wheel is fixedly connected to the shaft at the output end of the servo motor, with the drive wheel meshing with the second tooth.

[0014] Preferably, the number and position of the fan-shaped pedals are four groups, and the edges of the fan-shaped pedals are close to each other.

[0015] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a fan-shaped electric side pedal. It possesses at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] I. This utility model uses a spring-supported scraper at the top of the fan-shaped pedal. The spring tension causes the scraper to press against the rubber pad at the top of the fan-shaped pedal. This allows the scraper to clean the mud off the surface of the fan-shaped pedal as it rotates and retracts into the housing, thus preventing mud from being carried into the housing and causing jamming of internal parts.

[0017] 2. When the fan-shaped pedal is unfolded or retracted, the servo motor is started to drive the drive wheel to rotate. The second tooth engages to drive the rack to slide on the slide rail, thereby driving the driven wheel to rotate the fan-shaped pedal through the first tooth. This facilitates the unfolding and support when not in use, and prevents the fan-shaped pedal from being exposed and easily damaged. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] A fan-shaped electric side pedal, such as Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown, the device includes a housing 1. Multiple sets of fan-shaped pedals 3 are rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the housing 1. A servo motor 4 for driving the fan-shaped pedals 3 to unfold and retract is installed inside the housing 1. A cleaning mechanism 2 is installed above the fan-shaped pedals 3 on the housing 1 to scrape off the mud on the surface of the fan-shaped pedals 3. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a support plate 21. A scraper 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 21. A spring 24 is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the support plate 21 and the top of the scraper 23. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the top of the fan-shaped pedals 3. The scraper 23 abuts against the top of the fan-shaped pedals 3. The bottom of the scraper 23 is rounded on the side near the inside of the housing 1 to facilitate lifting the scraper 23 when the fan-shaped pedals 3 are rotated and unfolded from the inside of the housing 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting a spring 24 at the top of the fan-shaped pedal 3 to support the scraper 23, the tension of the spring 24 causes the scraper 23 to press against the rubber pad at the top of the fan-shaped pedal 3. This facilitates the scraping of the mud off the surface of the fan-shaped pedal 3 by the scraper 23 pressing against the fan-shaped pedal 3 while the fan-shaped pedal 3 rotates and retracts into the housing 1, thus avoiding the mud from being brought into the housing 1 and causing the internal parts to jam.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, preferably, a cavity 41 is provided inside the outer casing 1 below the fan-shaped pedal 3. Multiple driven wheels 42 are rotatably mounted on the top of the inner wall of the cavity 41, and each driven wheel 42 is fixedly connected to the corresponding fan-shaped pedal 3 via a rotating shaft. A slide rail 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the cavity 41, and a rack 43 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 44. A first tooth 431 is fixedly connected to the side of the rack 43 near the driven wheel 42 for meshing with the driven wheel 42, and a second tooth 432 is fixedly connected to the side of the rack 43 away from the first tooth 431. A driving wheel 45 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft at the output end of the servo motor 4, and the driving wheel 45 meshes with the second tooth 432.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the fan-shaped pedal 3 is unfolded or retracted, the servo motor 4 is started to drive the drive wheel 45 to rotate. The second tooth 432 engages to drive the rack 43 to slide on the slide rail 44, thereby driving the driven wheel 42 to rotate the fan-shaped pedal 3 through the first tooth 431. This facilitates the unfolding for support and the retraction when not in use, avoiding the problem of the fan-shaped pedal 3 being exposed and easily damaged.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, preferably, there are four groups of fan-shaped pedals 3, and the edges of the fan-shaped pedals 3 are in contact with each other.

[0031] In this embodiment, by setting multiple sets of fan-shaped pedals 3, when a fan-shaped pedal 3 in a certain area is damaged, only the fan-shaped pedal 3 in the damaged area needs to be replaced.

[0032] In use, the fan-shaped electric side pedal of this utility model unfolds or retracts the fan-shaped pedal 3. The servo motor 4 is activated to drive the drive wheel 45 to rotate. The second tooth 432 engages with the drive tooth 432 to drive the rack 43 to slide on the slide rail 44. The first tooth 431 drives the driven wheel 42 to rotate the fan-shaped pedal 3. This allows for easy unfolding and support when not in use, and retraction when not in use, avoiding the problem of the fan-shaped pedal 3 being exposed and easily damaged. By setting a spring 24 at the top of the fan-shaped pedal 3 to support the scraper 23, the tension of the spring 24 causes the scraper 23 to press against the rubber pad at the top of the fan-shaped pedal 3. This allows the scraper 23 to clean the mud on the surface of the fan-shaped pedal 3 while it rotates and retracts into the outer shell 1, thus preventing the mud from being brought into the inner shell 1 and causing the internal parts to jam.
