Footrests are a crucial component of ATVs, primarily providing a place for the driver's feet to improve driving stability and comfort, while also helping the driver maintain balance during vehicle movement.

[0003] Currently, common all-terrain vehicle foot pedal assemblies are typically installed at the bottom of the main frame, with one foot pedal on each side for the driver's feet. These foot pedal assemblies are generally bolted on; during installation, the foot pedals need to be aligned with the mounting holes at the bottom of the main frame and tightened with screws.

[0004] However, existing pedal assemblies have certain limitations in installation and use. For example, during installation, one hand must hold the pedal assembly to align it with the mounting holes, while the other hand tightens the screws, which is inconvenient, especially in space-constrained situations, resulting in low installation efficiency. Furthermore, existing pedal extension mounting plates are usually fixed, making it impossible to install external devices according to the driver's needs, thus affecting expandability and adaptability.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0024] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the all-terrain vehicle pedal assembly, as follows:

[0025] An easy-to-install foot pedal assembly for all-terrain vehicles, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the assembly includes a main beam 1, mounting components 2, footrest 3, extension plate 31, pressure plate 4, connecting component 5, limiting piece 6, elastic element 7, first fastener 8, and adjustable components. Several mounting components 2 are connected to both sides of the main beam 1. A pressure plate 4 is installed on the middle mounting component 2. An extension plate 31 is connected to the middle of the footrest 3. The extension plate 31 is slidably connected within the mounting components 2 and pressure plate 4. A limiting piece 6 is slidably connected within the extension plate 31. The limiting piece 6 is a non-standard ring, meaning it cannot rotate within the extension plate 31. The connecting component 5... The extension plate 31 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 31, and the docking part 5 is fixedly connected to the limiting piece 6. The mounting part 2 is provided with a through hole that fits with the limiting part 5. The docking part 5 is slidably connected to the mounting part 2. An elastic part 7 is provided inside the extension plate 31. One end of the elastic part 7 is fixedly connected to the extension plate 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting piece 6. The first fastener 8 passes through the mounting part 2, the extension plate 31, and the footrest 3. The first fastener 8 is used to fix the mounting part 2 and the footrest 3. Adjustable components for installing peripherals are provided at both ends of the footrest 3.

[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustable component includes an extension frame 10 and a second fastener 12. The footrest 3 has an adjustment hole 9, which is an elongated through hole that allows the second fastener 12 to slide within a certain range. The extension frame 10 is slidably connected to the footrest 3. The extension frame 10 has a mating hole 11 for easy installation of components. The second fastener 12 passes through the extension frame 10 and the adjustment hole 9. The second fastener 12 is used to fix the extension frame 10 and the footrest 3. Both the first fastener 8 and the second fastener 12 are composed of screws and nuts, and the nut of the first fastener 8 only engages with the mounting part 2 through a compression fit.

[0027] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip mat 13. The bottom of the extension frame 10 is connected to the anti-slip mat 13, and the anti-slip mat 13 is in contact with the top surface of the footrest 3.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a shock-absorbing pad 14. The top of the extension frame 10 is connected to the shock-absorbing pad 14, which is made of rubber.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an auxiliary frame 16, which is fixedly connected to the mounting component 2, and the nut of the first fastener 8 is engaged with the auxiliary frame 16 for limiting.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a positioning plate 15 and a scale 17. The footrest 3 is provided with the scale 17, and the extension frame 10 is connected to the positioning plate 15. The positioning plate 15 is parallel to the scale 17.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes anti-loosening spring pads 18. Anti-loosening spring pads 18 are provided at the contact points between the first fastener 8 and the second fastener 12 and the footrest 3.

[0032] During vehicle assembly, the worker aligns the extension plate 31 of the footrest 3 with the gap between the mounting piece 2 and the pressure plate 4, and pushes the footrest 3 along the main beam 1, causing the extension plate 31 to slide into the guide groove formed by the mounting piece 2 and the pressure plate 4. The pressure plate 4 applies downward pressure to the extension plate 31 to ensure its stability during sliding and prevent deviation or shaking. After the extension plate 31 is fully inserted, its end contacts the limiting structure of the mounting piece 2, initially restricting the longitudinal displacement of the footrest 3. During the insertion of the extension plate 31, the mating piece 5 is squeezed by the mounting piece 2, causing the limiting piece 6 to slide within the extension plate 31, while simultaneously compressing the elastic piece 7. When the mating piece 5 moves to the through hole position of the mounting piece 2, the elastic piece 7 rebounds, pushing the mating piece 5 into the through hole of the mounting piece 2 through the limiting piece 6, achieving self-locking fixation between the extension plate 31 and the mounting piece 2. This process requires no manual intervention, ensuring quick and reliable installation. The nut of the first fastener 8 is pre-placed in the slot of the auxiliary frame 16, which restricts the rotation of the nut. Subsequently, the screw passes through the extension plate 31, the limiting piece 6, and the mating piece 5, and is threadedly connected to the nut. When tightened, the nut is constrained by the auxiliary frame 16 and cannot rotate; only the screw's screwing generates axial clamping force, tightly fixing the extension plate 31, the mounting piece 2, and the footrest 3. The addition of the anti-loosening spring washer 18 prevents the screw from loosening and improves long-term stability.

[0033] When installing peripheral equipment on the extension frame 10, after loosening the second fastener 12, the extension frame 10 can slide back and forth along the adjustment hole 9 of the footrest 3. The anti-slip pad 13 is in contact with the top surface of the footrest 3, ensuring smooth sliding while maintaining necessary friction. The positioning plate 15 moves with the extension frame 10, and the scale 17 it points to provides an intuitive length reference. After adjusting to the target position, tighten the second fastener 12, and the extension frame 10 fixes the peripheral equipment through the mating hole 11. The shock-absorbing pad 14 further buffers vibration, ensuring the peripheral equipment is installed securely. The anti-slip pad 13 provides frictional resistance during the adjustment of the extension frame 10 to prevent accidental displacement; the shock-absorbing pad 14 absorbs impact loads after the equipment is installed, reducing the vibration transmitted to the footrest 3. Both together improve the adaptability and comfort of the footrest assembly. When adjusting the extension frame 10, the positioning plate 15 moves synchronously with the extension frame 10. The driver can quickly determine the extension length of the extension frame 10 by observing the scale 17, achieving precise adjustment to adapt to the installation needs of peripheral equipment of different sizes.
