At least two support plates 22 are located on the same side of the mounting plate 21, and at least two support plates 22 are bent and extended from the end away from the mounting plate 21 to form the second plate 232. The first plate 231 and the second plate 232 are provided with mounting holes 233 for fasteners to pass through. The bracket 2 is fixed to the vehicle body by fastener connection, which facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The footrest pedal assembly of this utility model further includes a connecting component 6. The footrest 1 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2 via the connecting component 6. Optionally, the connecting component 6 includes a first locking member 61 and a second locking member 62. One of the first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 is fixedly connected to the footrest 1, and the other is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21 of the bracket 2. The first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 cooperate with each other to fix the footrest 1 to the bracket 2. The first locking member 61 and the second locking member 62 are preferably made of a material with a certain degree of toughness, such as plastic or metal.

[0031] Please combine Figure 6 The first snap-fit ​​member 61 is located on the side of the footrest 1 near the bracket 2. Optionally, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 is integrally formed with the footrest 1. Understandably, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 can also be fixedly connected to the footrest 1 by means of adhesive bonding or fastener connection.

[0032] In one example, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 is an "L"-shaped plate. Specifically, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 includes a first snap-fit ​​plate 611 and a connecting plate 612, which are approximately perpendicular. The first snap-fit ​​plate 611 is connected to the side of the footrest 1 near the support 2 via the connecting plate 612 and is positioned opposite to the footrest 1. Optionally, in this example, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 also has first reinforcing ribs 613. Two first reinforcing ribs 613 are formed by extending from the two sides of the first snap-fit ​​plate 611 adjacent to the connecting plate 612 along the direction close to the footrest 1 or the connecting plate 612, thereby improving the structural strength of the first snap-fit ​​member 61. Optionally, a second reinforcing rib 614 is provided between the two first reinforcing ribs 613 to further improve the structural strength. In another example, the first snap-fit ​​member 61 may also be in the shape of a rectangular frame or a columnar shell structure with an opening.

[0033] In one example, the second snap-fit ​​member 62 includes a fixing plate 621 fixedly connected to the bracket 2, a limiting plate 622 disposed opposite to the fixing plate 621, and a snap-fit ​​portion 62a disposed on the side of the limiting plate 622 away from the fixing plate 621. The fixing plate 621 is preferably fixedly connected to the bracket 2 by means of bonding, welding or fastener connection.

[0034] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​portion 62a includes at least two second snap-fit ​​plates 623 disposed opposite to each other. The at least two second snap-fit ​​plates 623 are substantially parallel to each other and are disposed on the same side of the limiting plate 622. Snap-fit ​​blocks 624 are provided on the surfaces of the at least two second snap-fit ​​plates 623 away from each other. During installation, the snap-fit ​​blocks 624 pass through the first snap-fit ​​plate 611 so that the snap-fit ​​blocks 624 and the limiting plate 622 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the first snap-fit ​​plate 611.

[0035] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​block 624 is generally prismatic in shape. Preferably, the projection of the snap-fit ​​block 624 along its axial direction is triangular or trapezoidal. The snap-fit ​​block 624 is provided with a guide surface. The surface of the snap-fit ​​block 624 extends obliquely from one end away from the first snap-fit ​​plate 611 to one end closer to the first snap-fit ​​plate 611 to form the guide surface.

[0036] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​plate 611 has a snap-fit ​​hole 615, and the connecting plate 612 has a clearance groove 625 for avoiding the snap-fit ​​block 624. During installation, the snap-fit ​​block 624 of the second snap-fit ​​member 62 guides at least two second snap-fit ​​plates 623 to undergo elastic deformation and accumulate elastic potential energy in a direction close to each other through the guide surface. The snap-fit ​​block 624 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 615, and the snap-fit ​​block 624 extends relative to the clearance groove 625 due to the elastic restoring force of at least two second snap-fit ​​plates 623, thereby snapping together through the first snap-fit ​​member 61 and the second snap-fit ​​member 62 to fix the footrest 1 to the bracket 2.

[0037] Optionally, the connecting assembly 6 further includes a fixing member 63. During installation, the fixing member 63 passes through the first snap-fit ​​plate 611, is fixedly connected to the first snap-fit ​​plate 611, and abuts against at least two second snap-fit ​​plates 623, thereby defining the relative position between the snap-fit ​​blocks 624 on the at least two second snap-fit ​​plates 623. Specifically, the fixing member 63 is generally cylindrical, and the fixing member 63 is fixedly connected to the second snap-fit ​​members 62 by a threaded connection. A portion of the circumferential surface of the fixing member 63 has external threads, and the fixing portion of the second snap-fit ​​member 62 has a threaded hole. The fixing member 63 passes through the first snap-fit ​​plate 611 and abuts against the second snap-fit ​​plate 623 to prevent deformation of the second snap-fit ​​plate 623, thereby defining the relative position between the two snap-fit ​​blocks 624 and improving connection stability.

[0038] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the footrest pedal assembly of this invention further includes a buffer pad 3, which is sandwiched between the footrest 1 and the mounting plate 21 of the bracket 2. Optionally, the buffer pad 3 is fixed to the footrest 1 by at least one of the following connection methods: adhesive bonding, snap-fit, or fastener connection. The buffer pad 3 is preferably made of EPP (Expanded Polypropylene), which can effectively absorb and disperse collision energy or impact force when the vehicle is involved in a collision or impact, thereby improving shock absorption performance and comfort. In addition, the buffer pad 3 helps to maintain the shape of the footrest 1 and reduce the deformation of the footrest 1.

[0039] Optionally, the footrest 1 has several positioning posts 11 on its surface near the cushioning pad 3. The cushioning pad 3 has several positioning holes 31 for the positioning posts 11 to pass through. The length of the positioning posts 11 is less than the thickness of the cushioning pad 3, so that the positioning posts 11 do not extend beyond the surface of the cushioning pad 3, allowing the cushioning pad 3 to contact the bracket 2, which is beneficial for the cushioning pad 3 to achieve shock absorption performance. In this example, the footrest assembly of this utility model also includes fasteners, such as snap rings 5 ​​or nuts. During installation, the cushioning element is fitted onto the positioning posts 11, and the fasteners and positioning posts 11 cooperate with each other to make the cushioning pad 3 abut against the footrest 1, which facilitates positioning and installation.

[0040] Furthermore, the buffer pad 3 has a recessed area on its surface away from the footrest 1 to form a receiving hole 32 for accommodating the fastener, and the receiving hole 32 communicates with the positioning hole 31. In addition, the diameter of the receiving hole 32 is larger than the diameter of the positioning hole 31, so that the portion of the buffer pad 3 near the positioning hole 31 forms a mounting surface 33. During installation, the fastener abuts against this mounting surface 33. Preferably, the diameter of the receiving hole 32 gradually increases in the direction away from the positioning hole 31, further facilitating installation and improving installation efficiency.

[0041] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
