Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a floor mat switching device and a vehicle floor mat system. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle floor mats are a common interior accessory used to cover the foot areas of the driver and passengers. There are various types of floor mats, including soft and comfortable plush mats, linen mats, and easier-to-clean rubber and leather mats.

[0003] Existing floor mats are divided into traditional manually placed floor mats and automatically rolled-up floor mats. Automatically rolled-up floor mats unfold when rain is detected and roll up into a storage tube when it's not raining. However, existing floor mats cannot meet diverse usage needs. For example, floor mats with a soft and comfortable feel are prone to soiling and difficult to clean. When passengers or drivers enter the vehicle in rainy or snowy weather, or when their shoes are dirty, the floor mats become soiled and worn, leading to moisture and mold growth, and making cleaning difficult. On the other hand, floor mats that are easy to clean are not comfortable enough. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a floor mat switching device and a vehicle floor mat system to solve the aforementioned technical problems in the prior art.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this application, a foot pad switching device is provided, including a foot pad and a first rotating wheel and a second rotating wheel arranged at intervals, wherein the foot pad includes a first foot pad segment and a second foot pad segment spliced ​​together, and the first foot pad segment and the second foot pad segment are made of different materials;

[0006] The foot pad is connected to the first rotating wheel and the second rotating wheel, and moves in cooperation with the first rotating wheel and the second rotating wheel, so that the first foot pad segment or the second foot pad segment switches to the interval area between the first rotating wheel and the second rotating wheel.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first foot pad segment is a plush foot pad segment, and the second foot pad segment is a rubber foot pad segment.

[0008] In some embodiments, the foot pad is annular, the first wheel and the second wheel are located inside the annular foot pad, the outer peripheral walls of the first wheel and the second wheel are connected to the inner side of the foot pad, and the foot pad is in a taut state;

[0009] At least one of the first and second rotating wheels serves as a drive wheel and drives the foot pad to rotate, thereby switching the location of the first or second foot pad segment in the interval area between the first and second rotating wheels.

[0010] In some embodiments, the foot pad further includes a first connecting segment and a second connecting segment, wherein the first connecting segment connects one end of the first foot pad segment and one end of the second foot pad segment, and the second connecting segment connects the other end of the first foot pad segment and the other end of the second foot pad segment.

[0011] In some embodiments, one end of the foot pad is wound around the first rotating wheel and the other end is wound around the second rotating wheel;

[0012] Both the first and second wheels are drive wheels and are configured to steer in the same direction. When the first and second wheels rotate, one of them rolls up the foot pad and the other releases the foot pad, so as to switch the first or second foot pad segment to be located in the interval area between the first and second wheels.

[0013] In some embodiments, the length of the first foot pad segment / second foot pad segment between the first wheel and the second wheel is greater than a preset shoe length.

[0014] In some embodiments, the foot pad switching device further includes a drive device connected to the first wheel and / or the second wheel.

[0015] According to a second aspect of this application, a vehicle floor mat system is provided, including a control device disposed in the vehicle and the aforementioned floor mat switching device, wherein the control device is connected to the floor mat switching device, and the interval area between the first rotating wheel and the second rotating wheel is disposed in the footing area corresponding to the vehicle seat.

[0016] In some embodiments, the vehicle floor mat system further includes an environmental detector and / or a door switch sensor disposed in the vehicle, the environmental detector and / or the door switch sensor being connected to the control device.

[0017] In some embodiments, the vehicle floor mat system further includes a floor mat reset button disposed on the vehicle, the floor mat reset button being connected to the control device.

[0018] In summary, the floor mat switching device and vehicle floor mat system provided in this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] By using floor mats consisting of first and second floor mat segments made of different materials, the floor mats are moved by the coordinated rotation of the first and second rotating wheels. This allows the first or second floor mat segment to be switched to the interval area between the first and second rotating wheels under different needs. The interval area is located in the foot area in front of the vehicle seat, so the floor mats in the foot area of ​​the vehicle can be switched between two different materials to meet the needs of different floor mat materials in different scenarios. It is highly functional and has a wide range of applications. Attached Figure Description

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0027] In one embodiment of this application, a foot pad switching device is provided, with reference to... Figure 1 or Figure 2 The system includes foot pads and spaced-apart first and second rotating wheels 120 and 130. At least one of the first and second rotating wheels 120 is a drive wheel that rotates under the drive of a drive device. The foot pads consist of spliced ​​first foot pad segments 111 and 112, which are made of different materials. Specifically, the first and second foot pad segments 111 and 112 can be adjacent, meaning the foot pad is formed by splicing the first and second foot pad segments 111 and 112. Alternatively, the first and second foot pad segments 111 and 112 can be connected by connecting segments of other materials, meaning the foot pad includes the first foot pad segment 111, the second foot pad segment 112, and the connecting segments between them.

[0028] The foot pad is connected to the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130, forming a roller conveyor structure. The foot pad moves as the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 rotate. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the foot pad can be ring-shaped, with the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 respectively disposed at both ends within the ring-shaped foot pad, so that the foot pad is in a taut state. For example Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment, one end of the foot pad is wound around the first rotating wheel 120 and the other end is wound around the second rotating wheel 130.

[0029] Specifically, the foot pad moves in cooperation with the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130. That is, the rotation of the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 causes the foot pad to move between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130, so that the first foot pad segment 111 or the second foot pad segment 112 switches to the interval area between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130. Specifically, under a first requirement, when the drive device receives a first command, it drives the first rotating wheel 120 / second rotating wheel 130 to rotate until the first foot pad segment 111 is located in the interval area between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130; under a second requirement, when the drive device receives a second command, it drives the first rotating wheel 120 / second rotating wheel 130 to rotate until the second foot pad segment 112 is located in the interval area between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130. The space between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 is located in the foot area in front of the vehicle seat. By rotating the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130, the foot pad in the foot area can be switched between the first foot pad section 111 and the second foot pad section 112 to meet the needs of different materials for foot pads in different scenarios.

[0030] The aforementioned floor mat switching device uses floor mats comprising a first floor mat segment 111 and a second floor mat segment 112 made of different materials. The floor mats are moved by the coordinated rotation of the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130. This allows the first floor mat segment 111 or the second floor mat segment 112 to be switched to the interval area between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 under different needs. The interval area is located in the foot area in front of the vehicle seat, so the floor mats in the foot area of ​​the vehicle can be switched between two different materials to meet the needs of different floor mat materials in different scenarios. It is highly functional and has a wide range of applications. For example, one of the first floor mat section 111 and the second floor mat section 112 is made of an easy-to-clean material, and the other is made of a soft and comfortable material. When passengers or drivers enter the vehicle on rainy days or when their shoes are dirty, the floor mat switching device automatically switches to the easy-to-clean material, effectively reducing the impact of rain and mud on the floor mats and making them easier to clean. In sunny weather, it can switch to the soft and comfortable material, which is more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. In this way, the user's riding experience and satisfaction can be improved.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first foot pad segment 111 is a plush foot pad segment, and the second foot pad segment 112 is a rubber foot pad segment. The rubber foot pad segment is stain-resistant, wear-resistant, and easy to clean, making it particularly suitable for use in humid or heavily soiled environments; the plush foot pad segment is soft and comfortable. Using these two types of foot pad segments allows the foot pad in the space between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 to switch between rubber and plush foot pads, effectively solving the problem of difficult cleaning of foot pads caused by rainy or wet weather.

[0032] For example, when passengers or drivers enter the vehicle on rainy days or with dirty shoes, the floor mat switching device rolls the original soft plush floor mat section to another floor mat section with rubber material, effectively protecting the floor mat and reducing pollution damage.

[0033] In some embodiments, the foot pad switching device further includes a driving device, which is connected to the first rotating wheel 120 and / or the second rotating wheel 130, for driving the first rotating wheel 120 and / or the second rotating wheel 130 to rotate, so as to facilitate automatic control of rotation.

[0034] In one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 The foot pad is annular, with a first rotating wheel 120 and a second rotating wheel 130 located inside the annular foot pad. The outer peripheral walls of the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 are connected to the inner side of the foot pad, keeping the foot pad in a taut state. At least one of the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 serves as a drive wheel, driving the foot pad to rotate, thereby switching the location of either the first foot pad segment 111 or the second foot pad segment 112 within the interval area between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the circular cross-sections of the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane and are respectively disposed at both ends of the annular floor mat. The two rotating wheels rotate in the same direction, causing the annular floor mat to move. Specifically, the area between the two rotating wheels 120 and 130 is divided into upper and lower sections. The upper section corresponds to the footrest area in front of the vehicle seat. When the two rotating wheels rotate clockwise, the floor mat in the upper section moves to the right, and the floor mat in the lower section moves to the left. In the first case, the two rotating wheels rotate until the first floor mat section 111 is located in the upper section; in the second case, the two rotating wheels rotate until the second floor mat section 112 is located in the upper section. This allows for automatic roller-type floor mat switching.

[0036] Further, refer to Figure 1 The foot pad may further include a first connecting segment 113 and a second connecting segment 114. The first connecting segment 113 connects one end of the first foot pad segment 111 and one end of the second foot pad segment 112, and the second connecting segment 114 connects the other end of the first foot pad segment 111 and the other end of the second foot pad segment 112. That is, the two ends of the first foot pad segment 111 and the second foot pad segment 112 are connected by connecting segments. Specifically, the first connecting segment 113 is made of a different material than the first foot pad segment 111 and the second foot pad segment 112, while the first connecting segment 113 and the second connecting segment 114 may be made of the same material. It is understood that in other embodiments, one end of the first foot pad segment 111 and the two ends of the second foot pad segment 112 may also be directly spliced ​​together without using connecting segments.

[0037] In another embodiment, reference Figure 2 One end of the foot pad is wound around a first rotating wheel 120, and the other end is wound around a second rotating wheel 130. The rotation of the first and second rotating wheels 120 and 130 causes the foot pad to be wound up and unwound. The two wheels work together, allowing the foot pad to be wound up on one side and unwound on the other, thus moving the foot pad between the first and second rotating wheels 120 and 130 to switch the foot pad portion in the space between the two wheels. Specifically, both the first and second rotating wheels 120 and 130 are drive wheels configured to rotate in the same direction. When the first and second rotating wheels 120 and 130 rotate, one wheel wound up the foot pad while the other unwounds it, thus switching the location of either the first foot pad segment 111 or the second foot pad segment 112 in the space between the first and second rotating wheels 120 and 130. For example... Figure 2 In this configuration, when the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 rotate clockwise, the foot pad moves from left to right; when the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 rotate counterclockwise, the foot pad moves from right to left; the foot pad moves until the first foot pad segment 111 or the second foot pad segment 112 is located in the interval area between the two rotating wheels. The interval area where the foot pad is located corresponds to the foot area in front of the vehicle seat. Thus, by using two rotating wheels in a roller conveyor structure, automatic switching of the foot pad can be achieved.

[0038] In some embodiments, the length of the interval region between the first wheel 120 and the second wheel 130 is greater than a preset shoe length. Correspondingly, the length of the first foot pad segment 111 / second foot pad segment 112 of the interval region between the first wheel 120 and the second wheel 130 is greater than the preset shoe length.

[0039] The preset shoe length can be set according to actual needs. Generally, the shoe length of adults is between 22cm and 32cm. The preset shoe length can be set to 32cm. The length of the first foot pad segment 111 / second foot pad segment 112 between the first wheel 120 and the second wheel 130 is greater than 32cm, so that the length of the foot pad part corresponding to the stepping area can accommodate the length of the shoe, making it convenient to use.

[0040] This application also provides a vehicle floor mat system, including a control device disposed in the vehicle and a floor mat switching device as described in the above embodiments, wherein the control device is connected to the floor mat switching device. Specifically, the gap between the first and second rotating wheels of the floor mat switching device is disposed in the foot area in front of any seat in the vehicle, so that the user's foot can step on the first floor mat segment 111 or the second floor mat segment 112 in the gap area when sitting. The placement position of the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 of the floor mat switching device can be set according to actual requirements, either embedded in the chassis or located below or above the chassis, as long as the gap between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 corresponds to the foot area in front of the vehicle seat; for example, the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 can be embedded in or below the chassis of the vehicle; or a portion of the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130 can also be located above the chassis. Correspondingly, the first floor mat segment 111 or the second floor mat segment 112 can be partially embedded in the chassis or fit against the top of the chassis.

[0041] Specifically, the control device is used to control the foot pad switching device to switch foot pads. Specifically, the control device can control the rotation of the first rotating wheel 120 and / or the second rotating wheel 130 to control one of the first foot pad segment 111 or the second foot pad segment 112 to move to the interval area between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel as needed, thereby realizing automatic switching control.

[0042] In one embodiment, the control device can be the vehicle's central processing unit (CPU). Integrating the control function of the floor mat switching device into the vehicle's CPU reduces the need for additional control chips. Alternatively, the control device can be separate from and interconnected with the vehicle's CPU. For example, a vehicle floor mat system can be provided for each vehicle seat, and the control device in each vehicle floor mat system can be connected to the central processing unit.

[0043] In some embodiments, the vehicle floor mat system further includes an environmental detector and / or a door switch sensor disposed in the vehicle, the environmental detector and / or door switch sensor being connected to a control device.

[0044] The environmental detector is used to detect ambient weather conditions to obtain a detection signal and send it to the control device. The control device controls the switching between the first foot pad segment 111 and the second foot pad segment 112 located in the interval area between the two rotating wheels corresponding to the stepping area, based on the detection signal. For example, the environmental detector may include a rain detector installed on the exterior of the vehicle.

[0045] The door switch sensor detects the opening and closing of the doors. When a detected door is opened, the door switch sensor immediately sends a signal to the control device. Specifically, a door switch sensor can be installed on each door. The control device determines the specific door the occupant or driver has entered based on the received signal, thereby activating the floor mat switching device at the corresponding location.

[0046] Specifically, when the vehicle floor mat system includes an environmental detector and a door open / close sensor, the control device can control the floor mat switching device in conjunction with the environmental detector and the door open / close sensor. For example, when the environmental detector detects rain, it sends a rain signal to the control device. The control device then monitors the signal from the door open / close sensor. When the door open / close sensor sends a signal indicating that the door is open, the control device switches the floor mat switching device at the corresponding position on the door to the second floor mat segment used in rainy weather. When the environmental detector detects no rain, the control device switches the floor mat switching device to the first floor mat segment.

[0047] In some embodiments, the vehicle floor mat system includes a floor mat reset button disposed on the vehicle, the floor mat reset button being connected to a control device.

[0048] When the floor mats need to be reset, the floor mat reset button can be operated. Upon receiving the signal from the floor mat reset button, the control device resets all floor mats corresponding to the floor mat switching device to their initial state. For example, the first floor mat segment is made of plush material, and the second floor mat segment is made of rubber material; initially, the plush floor mat segment is located in the interval area between the first rotating wheel 120 and the second rotating wheel 130. This provides the driver / passenger with a manual reset option to redisplay the plush or rubber floor mats in specific situations, allowing for adjustments based on personal preference or cleaning needs, making it convenient to use.

[0049] It's understandable that the control device can also be equipped with an automatic reset function. For example, it could automatically reset all floor mats to their initial state after the vehicle is turned off.

[0050] The technical features described above can be combined arbitrarily. Although not all possible combinations of these technical features are described, any combination of these technical features should be considered to be covered by this specification, provided that such combination does not contain contradictions.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
