[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a car footrest includes a fixing plate 1, which is obliquely disposed on the side wall of a car interior panel 5. A rotating rod 8 is installed on the lower end of the side wall of the fixing plate 1 near the car interior panel 5, and the rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the car interior panel 5. A fixing post 9 is installed on the upper end of the side wall of the fixing plate 1 near the car interior panel 5. A groove 4 is formed on the car interior panel 5 to cooperate with the fixing post 9. The fixing post 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 4. A stop block 10 for preventing the fixing post 9 from disengaging from the groove 4 is installed through the groove 4 at the end of the fixing post 9 away from the fixing plate 1. A guide push block 6 for pushing away obstacles below the fixing plate 1 is installed at the lower end of the fixing plate 1. A drive mechanism for driving the rotating rod 8 and the fixing plate 1 to swing is provided on the car interior panel 5 at the end of the rotating rod 8 away from the fixing plate 1. A control mechanism for controlling the drive mechanism is provided at the upper end of the fixing plate 1.

[0025] The drive mechanism includes a fixed frame 2, which is mounted on the side wall of the vehicle interior panel 5 at the end of the rotating rod 8 away from the fixed plate 1. The end of the rotating rod 8 away from the fixed plate 1 passes through the vehicle interior panel 5 and the side wall of the fixed frame 2 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. A worm gear 16 is installed on the side wall of the rotating rod 8 inside the fixed frame 2. A motor 13 is installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 2. A rotating shaft 14 is installed at the output end of the motor 13. The end of the rotating shaft 14 away from the motor 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 2. A worm 15 that cooperates with the worm gear 16 is installed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 14. The worm 15 and the worm gear 16 mesh with each other.

[0026] When in use, start the motor 13. The output end of the motor 13 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 drives the worm 15 to rotate. The worm 15 drives the worm wheel 16 to rotate. The worm wheel 16 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate. The rotating rod 8 drives the fixed plate 1 to swing. The fixed plate 1 drives the fixed column 9 to move along the inner wall of the slide groove 4.

[0027] The control mechanism includes a pressure sensor 7, which is mounted on the upper end of the fixed plate 1. The detection end of the pressure sensor 7 is mounted on a bearing plate 3. A timer 11 for timing is installed inside the fixed frame 2. A controller 12 for receiving signals from the timer 11 and the pressure sensor 7 and controlling the motor 13 is installed inside the fixed frame 2.

[0028] When the user's foot steps on the support plate 3, the support plate 3 will press down on the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 detects the pressure signal, determines that the user has started using the support plate 3, and transmits the detection signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 controls the timer 11 to start timing. When the timer 11 reaches the timing set value, the timer 11 sends a signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 controls the motor 13 to start, causing the fixed plate 1 and the support plate 3 to swing at a certain angle, and controls the timer 11 to restart timing.

[0029] The working principle of a car footrest:

[0030] When the user's foot steps on the support plate 3, the support plate 3 will press down on the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 detects the pressure signal, determines that the user has started using the support plate 3, and transmits the detection signal to the controller 12. The controller 12 controls the timer 11 to start timing.

[0031] When timer 11 reaches the set time, timer 11 sends a signal to controller 12. Controller 12 controls motor 13 to start. The output of motor 13 drives rotating shaft 14 to rotate. Rotating shaft 14 drives worm gear 15 to rotate. Worm gear 15 drives worm wheel 16 to rotate. Worm wheel 16 drives rotating rod 8 to rotate. Rotating rod 8 drives fixed plate 1 to swing. Fixed plate 1 drives fixed column 9 to move along the inner wall of slide groove 4, so that fixed plate 1 and bearing plate 3 swing at a certain angle, and control timer 11 to restart timing.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
