[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a brake pedal structure, which includes a base plate 11, a pedal assembly, a first sealing assembly, and a second sealing assembly. The base plate 11 is the base plate of the harvester's cab, and is therefore located at the bottom of the harvester's cab. The ground where the harvester is parked is horizontal. When describing the base plate 11, the ground where the harvester is parked is used as a reference. The base plate 11 can be horizontally located at the bottom of the harvester's cab, or it can be inclined at the bottom of the harvester's cab. In this embodiment, whether the base plate 11 is horizontally or inclined can be selected according to the overall requirements of the cab. The base plate 11 has a through hole 12, which can optionally be rectangular in shape. Alternatively, the through hole 12 can be rectangular with rounded corners.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, the brake pedal structure also includes a fixing plate 13, which is L-shaped and has reinforcing ribs 14 to enhance its structural strength. One end of the fixing plate 13 is detachably mounted on the base plate 11 by bolts, and the fixing plate 13 is located below the base plate 11.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the brake pedal structure also includes two brake valves 51, which are symmetrically arranged. One brake valve 51 is detachably mounted on the fixing plate 13 by bolts. The main body of this brake valve 51 is located on the left side of the fixing plate 13, and the braking end of this brake valve 51 passes through the fixing plate 13 to the right side of the fixing plate 13. The other brake valve 51 is detachably mounted on the fixing plate 13 by bolts. The main body of this other brake valve 51 is located on the left side of the fixing plate 13, and the braking end of this brake valve 51 passes through the fixing plate 13 to the right side of the fixing plate 13.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pedal assembly includes a first pedal 21 and a second pedal 22. The first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22 are symmetrical structures, and the connection method between the first pedal 21 and the fixing plate 13 is the same as the connection method between the second pedal 22 and the fixing plate 13. Therefore, the first pedal 21 is used as an example for description. The first pedal 21 is an integrally formed structure, which makes the pedal structure more robust. One end of the first pedal 21 has a rotating hole 23, and the other end has a linkage hole 24. One end of the first pedal 21 passes through the through hole 12 of the base plate 11. The end of the first pedal 21 with the rotating hole 23 is located below the base plate 11, and the end of the first pedal 21 with the linkage hole 24 is located above the base plate 11. Therefore, the end of the second pedal 22 with the rotating hole 23 is located below the base plate 11, and the end of the second pedal 22 with the linkage hole 24 is located above the base plate 11. A pin 25 is inserted sequentially through the linkage hole 24 of the first pedal 21 and the linkage hole 24 of the second pedal 22, thus connecting the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22. This configuration allows the pedal mechanism to switch to a dual-pedal mode. When the pin 25 is removed, the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22 are no longer connected, and the pedal mechanism switches from a dual-pedal mode to a single-pedal mode.

[0037] Two side plates are symmetrically arranged on the right side of the fixed plate 13. Each side plate has a rotating hole 23. A connecting shaft 52 passes through the rotating holes 23 of the two side plates, the first pedal 21, and the second pedal 22 in sequence, thus allowing both the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22 to be rotatably connected to the fixed plate 13. A torsion spring 53 is provided between the first pedal 21 and the fixed plate 13, with one end of the torsion spring 53 contacting the first pedal 21 and the other end contacting the fixed plate 13. Similarly, a torsion spring 53 is provided between the second pedal 22 and the fixed plate 13, with one end of the torsion spring 53 contacting the second pedal 22 and the other end contacting the fixed plate 13. The torsion spring 53 assists in the reset of the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22. When the first pedal 21 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 13, the braking end of a brake valve 51 abuts against the end of the first pedal 21 with the rotating hole 23. When the second pedal 22 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 13, the braking end of the other brake valve 51 abuts against the end of the second pedal 22 that is provided with the rotating hole 23.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the harvester encounters a bumpy road surface, the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22 may move up and down. When the driver does not press the first pedal 21 or the second pedal 22, the torsion spring 53 is in a deformed state and limits the movement of the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22. When the driver presses the first pedal 21 or the second pedal 22, the torsion spring 53 switches from the deformed state to the non-deformed state, at which time the torsion spring 53 does not function.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the first sealing assembly is disposed on the pedal assembly and is located below the base plate 11. Specifically, the first sealing assembly includes two welded sealing plates 31 and two sponge pads 32. One welded sealing plate 31 is disposed on the first pedal 21, and one sponge pad 32 is disposed on the welded sealing plate 31 on the first pedal 21, with the sponge pad 32 located between the welded sealing plate 31 and the base plate 11. The welded sealing plate 31 and sponge pad 32 disposed on the first pedal 21 can move as the first pedal 21 rotates. The other welded sealing plate 31 is disposed on the second pedal 22, and the other sponge pad 32 is disposed on the welded sealing plate 31 on the second pedal 22, with the sponge pad 32 located between the welded sealing plate 31 and the base plate 11. The welded sealing plate 31 and sponge pad 32 disposed on the second pedal 22 can move as the second pedal 22 rotates. The welding sealing plate 31 and sponge pad 32 installed on the first pedal 21 cooperate with the welding sealing plate 31 and sponge pad 32 installed on the second pedal 22 to seal the through hole 12 on the base plate 11.

[0040] Optionally, the welding sealing plate 31 is welded to the first pedal 21 as an integral structure, and the welding sealing plate 31 is welded to the second pedal 22 as an integral structure. The sponge pad 32 is connected to the welding sealing plate 31 by adhesive bonding.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the second sealing assembly is disposed on the base plate 11 and is located above the base plate 11. The second sealing assembly is used to cover the through hole 12 of the base plate 11. The second sealing assembly includes a sealing plate 41 and a sealing gasket 42. The sealing plate 41 is M-shaped and has two layers 43. The sealing gasket 42 is M-shaped and has two layers 43. The sealing gasket 42 is stacked with the sealing plate 41, and the sealing plate 41 and the sealing gasket 42 are bonded or pressed together. The sealing plate 41 is disposed above the base plate 11, and the sealing gasket 42 is located between the sealing plate 41 and the base plate 11. When the second sealing assembly is disposed above the base plate 11, the first pedal 21 is located within one layer 43 of the second sealing assembly, and the second pedal 22 is located within the other layer 43 of the second sealing assembly. The middle part of the second sealing assembly is located between the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22.

[0042] Alternatively, the sealing gasket 42 may be made of nylon or rubber material, which can improve the sealing performance at the pedal assembly.

[0043] This utility model also discloses a harvester that includes a brake pedal structure as described in any of the embodiments above.

[0044] An exemplary embodiment of the application scenario:

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22 are connected by a pin 25, transforming the pedal mechanism into a dual-pedal mode. When the driver presses the end of the first pedal 21 or the second pedal 22 located above the base plate 11, both pedals 21 and 22 rotate simultaneously around the connecting shaft 52. The torsion spring 53 is not activated. Simultaneously, the ends of the first pedal 21 and 22 located below the base plate 11 compress the brake end of the brake valve 51, causing the brake valve 51 to actuate and achieve braking. As both pedals 21 and 22 rotate simultaneously around the connecting shaft 52, they also move the welded sealing plate 31 and the sponge pad 32. As the first pedal 21 and 22 move, the welded sealing plate 31 and the base plate 11 deform the sponge pad 32. When the driver removes their foot from the first pedal 21 or the second pedal 22, the torsion spring 53 drives the first pedal 21 or the second pedal 22 to return to its original position. Because the harvester's braking time is very short, the welded sealing plate 31 and the sponge pad 32 will quickly reset along with the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22. The exposure time of the through hole is limited. The sealing plate 41 and the sealing pad 42 work together with the welded sealing plate 31 and the sponge pad 32 to seal the through hole, which improves the comfort of the cab environment.

[0046] When the harvester needs to turn and the turning radius is too small, the pin 25 is pulled out, disconnecting the first pedal 21 and the second pedal 22, and the pedal mechanism switches to single-pedal mode. The operator only needs to press either the first pedal 21 or the second pedal 22 to make a large movement of the harvester on the side closer to the first pedal 21 or the side closer to the second pedal 22, and the side closer to the second pedal 22 or the side closer to the first pedal 21 will follow suit. This achieves single-sided braking of the harvester, improving its operability.

[0047] The foregoing description and accompanying drawings fully illustrate embodiments of the present invention to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. Other embodiments may include structural and other changes. The embodiments represent only possible variations. Individual components and functions are optional unless explicitly required, and the order of operation may vary.
