[0025] At present, the stability of the pedal is usually improved by installing a pedal mounting bracket between the accelerator pedal and the lower panel of the front wall, and the pedal mounting bracket body is provided as an integral part in a box body structure, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the pedal mounting and reducing the problem of pedal vibration; but the single box body structure has poor stability, and the pedal mounting bracket will still vibrate under external force, and the problems of low stability and firmness of the pedal mounting still exist.

[0026] The information disclosed in this section is intended only to increase an understanding of the general background of the application and should not be construed as recognizing or admitting that this information constitutes prior art that is already known to those skilled in the art.

[0028] In a first aspect, the utility model discloses a pedal mounting bracket reinforcing structure, referring to Figure 1 , comprising a pedal mounting bracket 1, a pedal connecting piece 2, a lower panel of the front wall 3 and a front wall lower reinforcing beam 4.

[0029] The pedal mounting bracket 1 is connected with the lower panel of the front wall 3, and the side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 away from the lower panel of the front wall 3 is a pedal mounting surface, which is used for mounting a pedal 5; a containing cavity 6 is formed between the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the lower panel of the front wall 3, and the pedal connecting piece 2 is located in the containing cavity 6; one end of the pedal connecting piece 2 is connected with the lower panel of the front wall 3, and the other end of the pedal connecting piece 2 abuts against the pedal mounting bracket 1; the pedal connecting piece 2 is used for providing a supporting force for the pedal mounting bracket 1; the front wall lower reinforcing beam 4 is located on the side of the lower panel of the front wall 3 away from the pedal mounting bracket 1, and the front wall lower reinforcing beam 4 is connected with the lower panel of the front wall 3.

[0030] During the driving of the vehicle body, the excitation of the road surface and the power system is transmitted to the pedal mounting bracket 1 through the floor; since the pedal connecting piece 2 abuts against the side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing the lower panel of the front wall 3, the pedal mounting bracket 1 is provided with an additional support, thereby improving the stability of the pedal mounting bracket 1; at the same time, when the excitation of the road surface and the power system is transmitted to the lower panel of the front wall 3, the front wall lower reinforcing beam 4 supports the lower panel of the front wall 3, thereby reducing the vibration of the lower panel of the front wall 3, and further reducing the vibration of the pedal mounting bracket 1 caused by external force, and improving the stability and firmness of the pedal 5 mounting.

[0031] ​​The pedal mounting bracket is a key component in automobiles or mechanical equipment used to fix and support the pedals. It is usually made of high-strength materials such as steel or aluminum alloy to ensure durability and stability under repeated and high-strength use. The main function of the bracket is to provide a stable mounting platform for pedals such as the accelerator and brake, ensuring the accuracy and safety of operation. In design, the pedal mounting bracket needs to consider shock absorption, vibration and noise reduction, and reliability in emergency operations. In addition, the structural design of the bracket should facilitate installation, adjustment and maintenance to adapt to different vehicle models and usage requirements. In modern automobile design, the pedal mounting bracket may also integrate lightweight and modular design to improve overall performance and ride comfort. In short, the pedal mounting bracket is an important part of ensuring the stable operation of the pedal system and improving the driving experience.

[0032] The front lower panel is a key structural component of the front part of the vehicle body, located between the front bumper and the engine compartment, playing a crucial role. This component is usually made of high-strength steel or composite materials to ensure that it can effectively absorb and disperse impact forces in the event of a frontal collision, protecting passengers inside the vehicle and sensitive components in the engine compartment. The front lower panel not only plays a role in passive safety, but also involves the design of the vehicle's appearance. It works together with the front bumper, headlights and other appearance parts to form the front face of the vehicle. In addition, the design of the front lower panel will also affect the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, helping to improve fuel efficiency and driving stability. In some high-performance vehicles, the front lower panel may also integrate aerodynamic kits such as front splitters to enhance the downforce of the vehicle during high-speed driving. In summary, the front lower panel is a multifunctional component in the front structure of the vehicle, playing an important role in safety, appearance design and aerodynamics.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 With Figure 3 The pedal mounting bracket 1 can be formed by stamping a 1.2mm sheet metal, and the pedal mounting bracket 1 is in the shape of a "J" character. The two ends of the pedal mounting bracket 1 folded away from the front lower panel 3 are the legs 11, which are welded to the front lower panel 3, so that the front lower panel 3 supports the pedal mounting bracket 1.

[0034] Optionally, in some embodiments, the pedal mounting bracket 1 can also consider using sheet metal of different thicknesses such as 1.0mm or 1.5mm according to the strength and stiffness requirements to find the best balance between weight and strength, while considering the use of high-strength steel or other lightweight high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy or magnesium alloy to improve strength and stiffness while reducing weight; The connection between the leg 11 and the front lower panel 3 can use riveting connection to provide better fatigue performance and corrosion resistance.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, referring toFigure 2 With Figure 3 The surface of the leg 11 and the lower panel 3 is provided with a connecting reinforcing rib 12 protruding away from the surface of the lower panel 3. The connecting reinforcing rib 12 on the surface of the leg 11 and the reinforcing rib on the surface of the lower panel 3 are matched with each other, so that when the pedal mounting bracket 1 is subjected to external force, the pedal mounting bracket 1 is effectively supported, and the connection stiffness between the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the lower panel 3 is improved.

[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting reinforcing rib 12 can be provided in different shapes, such as zigzag or corrugated, to further improve the shear strength of the connection between the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the lower panel 3, and at the same time, auxiliary support structures such as beams or support bars are added between the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the lower panel 3 to improve the overall stability and stiffness.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 With Figure 3 The surface of the pedal mounting face is provided with two reinforcing bosses 13 protruding away from the lower panel 3. The pedal 5 is mounted on the surface of the reinforcing boss 13. The reinforcing boss 13 extends to the surface of the leg 11 in the direction close to the leg 11, thereby enhancing the overall stiffness of the pedal mounting bracket 1 and effectively supporting the pedal 5 by the pedal mounting bracket 1; The pedal mounting face is provided with a weight-reducing hole 14. The weight-reducing hole 14 is rectangular and located between the two reinforcing bosses 13, thereby reducing the weight of the pedal mounting bracket 1 and achieving the effect of light weight.

[0038] Optionally, in some embodiments, the weight-reducing hole 14 can be designed in a circular, elliptical, rhombic or any other shape to achieve different weight-reducing effects and structural strength. Further, finite element analysis can be used to optimize the design of the reinforcing boss 13 and the weight-reducing hole 14 to ensure that the structural strength is not sacrificed while reducing the weight, or the best distribution of materials can be determined by topology optimization software to achieve the minimum weight design under given load and constraint conditions.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 With Figure 3, the pedal connecting piece 2 is box-shaped, the pedal connecting piece 2 is formed by stamping a 1.2mm sheet metal, one side of the pedal connecting piece 2 away from the front lower panel 3 is a top surface 21, two surfaces adjacent to and opposite to the top surface 21 are side surfaces 22, the top surface 21 and the side surfaces 22 are connected to the side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing the accommodating cavity 6, the top surface 21 and the side surfaces 22 of the pedal connecting piece 2 increase the acting area between the pedal connecting piece 2 and the pedal mounting bracket 1, thereby strengthening the supporting effect of the pedal connecting piece 2 on the pedal mounting bracket 1; one end of the pedal connecting piece 2 close to the front lower panel 3 is folded away from the front lower panel 3 to form a folded ear edge 23, the folded ear edge 23 is welded to the front lower panel 3, the folded ear edge 23 increases the acting area between the pedal connecting piece 2 and the front lower panel 3, thereby enhancing the stability of the pedal connecting piece 2.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, with reference to Figure 2 With Figure 3 , the top surface 21 and the side surfaces 22 form an open structure, and the folded ear edge 23 and the side surfaces 22 also form an open structure, one opening of one open structure faces the accommodating cavity 6, and the opening of the other open structure faces the front lower panel 3, when the pedal connecting piece 2 is installed, because the top surface 21 and the side surfaces 22 form an open structure, and the folded ear edge 23 and the side surfaces 22 also form an open structure, the pedal connecting piece 2 can be deformed to some extent, and then after the pedal connecting piece 2 is installed into the accommodating cavity 6, the top surface 21 and the side surfaces 22 of the pedal connecting piece 2 can be connected to the side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing the accommodating cavity 6, while reducing the installation difficulty of the pedal connecting piece 2.

[0041] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the pedal connecting piece 2 can be frame-shaped, the frame-shaped structure is usually easier to manufacture by stamping, welding or mechanical processing, thereby helping to improve the production efficiency of the pedal connecting piece 2 and reduce the cost of the pedal connecting piece 2, similarly, one side of the pedal connecting piece 2 away from the front lower panel 3 is a top surface 21, two surfaces adjacent to and opposite to the top surface 21 are side surfaces 22, the top surface 21 and the side surfaces 22 are connected to the side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing the accommodating cavity 6, the top surface 21 and the side surfaces 22 of the pedal connecting piece 2 increase the acting area between the pedal connecting piece 2 and the pedal mounting bracket 1, thereby strengthening the supporting effect of the pedal connecting piece 2 on the pedal mounting bracket 1; at the same time, the bottom of the frame-shaped pedal connecting piece 2 is a complete plane, thereby increasing the acting area between the pedal connecting piece 2 and the front lower panel 3, and enhancing the stability of the pedal connecting piece 2; in addition, the inside of the frame-shaped pedal connecting piece 2 is communicated with the accommodating cavity 6, the pedal connecting piece 2 can still be deformed to some extent, and then after the pedal connecting piece 2 is installed into the accommodating cavity 6, the outer wall of the pedal connecting piece 2 can be connected to the side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing the accommodating cavity 6, while reducing the installation difficulty of the pedal connecting piece 2.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The side surface 22 of the pedal connecting piece 2 is provided with a support reinforcing rib 25 extending in the direction intersecting the bottom surface of the pedal. The addition of the support reinforcing rib 25 significantly improves the local and overall rigidity of the pedal connecting piece 2, enabling it to withstand greater loads and stresses without deforming or being damaged. The reinforcing rib extending in the direction intersecting the bottom surface of the pedal helps to resist the bending stress of the pedal connecting piece 2 when subjected to a force perpendicular to its surface, thereby reducing the bending deformation of the pedal connecting piece 2 and enhancing the support effect of the pedal connecting piece 2 on the pedal mounting bracket 1.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 And Figure 3 One of the two reinforcing bosses 13 has a front mounting hole 15 opened on its surface, the other reinforcing boss 13 has a rear mounting hole 16 opened on its surface, and the top surface 21 has a pedal mounting hole 24 opened thereon. The pedal 5 is mounted on the surface of the reinforcing boss 13 through the front mounting hole 15 and the rear mounting hole 16, and the pedal 5, the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the pedal connecting piece 2 are connected in layers through the pedal mounting hole 24 and the front mounting hole 15. When the pedal 5 is subjected to an external force, the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the pedal connecting piece 2 simultaneously produce a support effect on the pedal 5, thereby further suppressing the shaking of the pedal 5.

[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, the pedal 5, the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the pedal connecting piece 2 can also be connected in layers by welding. The welding method can be resistance spot welding, laser welding, friction welding, explosive welding, etc. Resistance spot welding melts and connects two metal parts together by resistance heating. It has the advantages of being fast and suitable for mass production, which can improve the production efficiency of the pedal mounting bracket reinforcing structure. Laser welding uses a high-energy laser beam to melt and connect the contact surfaces of two parts together. It has the advantages of high precision and is suitable for precise parts and difficult-to-contact areas, which can improve the manufacturing precision of the pedal mounting bracket reinforcing structure. Friction welding melts the contact surface by the friction heat generated by the relative movement between the two parts, then stops moving quickly and applies pressure to form a connection. It has the advantages of not requiring filler and being suitable for difficult-to-weld materials, which can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the pedal mounting bracket reinforcing structure. Explosive welding connects the contact surfaces of two parts together using the pressure generated by an explosion, which is suitable for large-area connections such as the connection of metal plates.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1A closed cavity 7 is formed between the front lower reinforcing beam 4 and the front lower plate 3. The pedal mounting bracket 1 and the pedal connector 2 are located on the side of the closed cavity 7 away from the front lower reinforcing beam 4. When the excitation of the road surface and the power system is transmitted to the front lower reinforcing beam 4, the impact force on the front lower reinforcing beam 4 is transmitted to the closed cavity 7. The gas in the closed cavity 7 is compressed, forming a pressure wave that propagates in the gas. As the gas in the closed cavity 7 is compressed and expanded, the pressure is absorbed and released, thereby weakening the impact force and achieving the effect of shock absorption for the front lower plate 3.

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the pedal connector 2 further supports the pedal mounting bracket 1. During vehicle operation, the excitation from the road surface and the power system is transmitted to the pedal mounting bracket 1 through the floor. Since the pedal connector 2 abuts against the side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing the lower front panel 3, it provides additional support for the pedal mounting bracket 1, reducing the technical problem of vibration under external force, which leads to low stability and firmness of the pedal 5 installation, and improving the structural stability. In addition, the box-shaped pedal mounting bracket 1 requires multiple processes during production, while the "U"-shaped pedal mounting bracket 1 is simpler in structure than the box-shaped pedal mounting bracket 1, thus reducing the processing difficulty of the pedal mounting bracket 1 to a certain extent.

[0047] Secondly, this utility model embodiment also discloses a pedal assembly. The pedal mounting bracket 1 reinforcement structure includes a front lower panel 3, a pedal mounting bracket 1, a pedal connector 2, and a front lower reinforcing beam 4. The front lower panel 3 is connected to the pedal mounting bracket 1. The side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing away from the front lower panel 3 is the pedal mounting surface, which is used to mount the pedal 5. A receiving cavity 6 is formed between the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the front lower panel 3. The pedal connector 2 is located in the receiving cavity 6. One end of the pedal connector 2 is connected to the front lower panel 3, and the other end of the pedal connector 2 abuts against the pedal mounting bracket 1. The pedal connector 2 is used to provide support for the pedal mounting bracket 1. The front lower reinforcing beam 4 is located on the side of the front lower panel 3 facing away from the pedal mounting bracket 1, and the front lower reinforcing beam 4 is connected to the front lower panel 3.

[0048] Since the pedal assembly includes the aforementioned pedal mounting bracket 1 reinforcement structure, it also possesses the beneficial effects of the aforementioned pedal mounting bracket 1 reinforcement structure, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] Thirdly, this utility model also discloses a vehicle, including a longitudinal beam and a reinforcing structure for the pedal mounting bracket 1 connected to the longitudinal beam. The reinforcing structure for the pedal mounting bracket 1 includes a lower front panel 3, a pedal mounting bracket 1, a pedal connector 2, and a lower front panel reinforcing beam 4. The lower front panel 3 is connected to the pedal mounting bracket 1. The side of the pedal mounting bracket 1 facing away from the lower front panel 3 is a pedal mounting surface, which is used to mount the pedal 5. A receiving cavity 6 is formed between the pedal mounting bracket 1 and the lower front panel 3. The pedal connector 2 is located in the receiving cavity 6. One end of the pedal connector 2 is connected to the lower front panel 3, and the other end of the pedal connector 2 abuts against the pedal mounting bracket 1. The pedal connector 2 is used to provide support for the pedal mounting bracket 1. The lower front panel reinforcing beam 4 is located on the side of the lower front panel 3 facing away from the pedal mounting bracket 1, and the lower front panel reinforcing beam 4 is connected to the lower front panel 3.

[0050] Since the vehicle includes the aforementioned pedal mounting bracket 1 reinforcement structure, it also possesses the beneficial effects of the aforementioned pedal mounting bracket 1 reinforcement structure, which will not be elaborated here.
