Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furniture technology, and in particular to a foot pedal with an adjustable tilt angle. Background Technology

[0002] When people sit in a chair, the footrest can support their legs, allowing them to relax. However, traditional footrests are not adjustable and cannot adapt to different support postures.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, patent number 202220472212.X discloses a foot pedal with a lifting function, which allows the foot pedal to be adjusted to an appropriate height by setting a lifting mechanism.

[0004] However, the aforementioned pedals only adjust the height. When users want to use the pedals at different knee bend angles, their feet cannot be positioned at the corresponding comfortable angle, which is not ergonomic. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new type of pedal to solve the problem of traditional pedals not allowing users to adjust to a comfortable angle and thus not conforming to ergonomic principles. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a foot pedal with an adjustable tilt angle, solving the problem that traditional foot pedals cannot allow users to adjust to a comfortable angle and do not conform to ergonomics.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable tilt angle foot pedal includes a base and a pedal, as well as a stop plate and a movable support member. The stop plate is located at the bottom of the pedal, with one side of the pedal rotatably engaged with one side of the base, and the other side of the base rotatably engaged with one side of the support member. The stop plate is provided with a stop groove that engages with the other side of the movable support member for shifting positions. When the movable support member shifts its position in the stop groove, the tilt angle of the pedal changes accordingly.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating connector, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the pedal, and the pedal side and the base side are rotatably engaged through the rotating connector.

[0009] Furthermore, the base includes a relatively fixed front rod and a rear rod, the rotating connector is provided with a front rod groove that fits against the surface of the front rod, and the base and the rotating connector are rotatably engaged relative to each other through the front rod and the front rod groove; the movable support is provided with a rear rod groove that fits against the surface of the rear rod, and the base and the movable support are rotatably engaged relative to each other through the rear rod and the rear rod groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a downwardly extending positioning block is provided in the front rod groove, and a positioning groove is provided at the top of the front rod to allow the positioning block to extend into and slide relative to the positioning block.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable support is provided with a shaft, which extends into the gear slot and moves to switch gears.

[0012] Furthermore, the stop plate is provided with the stop groove on the side facing the movable support.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two stop plates, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the movable support member.

[0014] Furthermore, the stop groove is wavy.

[0015] Furthermore, a reset groove is provided above the stop groove, and the two ends of the stop groove are respectively connected to the two ends of the reset groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the reset groove is elongated.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention features a stop plate at the bottom of the pedal. One side of the pedal rotatably engages with one side of the base, and the other side of the base rotatably engages with one side of the support member. The stop plate has a stop groove that engages with the other side of the movable support member for shifting positions. When the movable support member shifts its position in the stop groove, the pedal's tilt angle changes accordingly. Users can adjust the pedal angle as needed, allowing their feet to rest on the pedal at a comfortable angle, conforming to ergonomic principles. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 8 An adjustable-angle foot pedal includes a base 1 and a pedal 2, as well as a stop plate 3 and a movable support member 4. The stop plate 3 is located at the bottom of the pedal 2. One side of the pedal 2 is rotatably engaged with one side of the base 1, and the other side of the base 1 is rotatably engaged with one side of the support member 4. The stop plate 3 has a stop groove 31 that engages with the other side of the movable support member 4 for position switching. When the movable support member 4 switches positions on the stop groove 31, the tilt angle of the pedal 2 changes accordingly. Users can adjust the angle of the pedal 2 as needed, allowing their feet to rest on the pedal 2 at a comfortable angle, which is ergonomic.

[0031] It also includes a rotating connector 5, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the pedal 2. One side of the pedal 2 and one side of the base 1 are rotatably engaged through the rotating connector 5. This makes the structure of the pedal 2 simpler and reduces the production cost.

[0032] The base 1 includes a front rod 11 and a rear rod 12 that are relatively fixed. The rotating connector 5 has a front rod groove 51 that fits against the surface of the front rod 11. The base 1 and the rotating connector 5 are rotatably engaged through the front rod 11 and the front rod groove 51. The movable support 4 has a rear rod groove 41 that fits against the surface of the rear rod 12. The base 1 and the movable support 4 are rotatably engaged through the rear rod 12 and the rear rod groove 41. This allows the base 1 and the pedal 2 to be assembled using gravity, resulting in a simple structure and easy assembly and disassembly.

[0033] The front rod groove 51 is provided with a downwardly extending positioning block 510, and the top of the front rod 11 is provided with a positioning groove 110 that allows the positioning block 510 to extend into and slide relative to the positioning block 510. The cooperation between the positioning block 510 and the positioning groove 110 can quickly place the pedal 2 in the desired position above the base 1, and the position is more stable.

[0034] The movable support 4 is provided with a shaft 6, which extends into the gear slot 31 and moves to switch gears. This gear shifting structure is simple.

[0035] The stop plate 3 has the stop groove 31 on the side facing the movable support 4. This allows the stop groove 31 to be hidden, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0036] There are two stop plates 3, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the movable support 4, so that the tilt angle can be more accurate and stable after adjusting the stop.

[0037] The gear slot 31 is wavy. This allows for gear engagement by sliding to the inflection point of the wave and shifting gears by sliding to the curve of the wave.

[0038] A reset groove 32 is provided above the stop groove 31, and the two ends of the stop groove 31 are respectively connected to the two ends of the reset groove 32. When the pedal 2 is raised, causing the shaft 6 to slide out from the highest point of the stop groove 31 and enter the reset groove 32, the shaft 6 slides back to the lowest point of the pedal 2 within the reset groove 32 under the influence of the weight of the pedal 2. This provides a very convenient reset operation method.

[0039] The reset groove 32 is elongated. This makes the reset process faster and smoother.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
