[0023] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0024] The terms “upper,” “lower,” “left,” “right,” and “middle” used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of this disclosure.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, it illustrates a schematic diagram of the control structure of the rear footrest system of an intelligent electric motorcycle. It includes an electrically connected pressure sensor 10, controller 20, and footrest assembly 30. The pressure sensor 10 is located on the rear seat of the electric motorcycle. The controller 20 is located in the control unit inside the electric motorcycle and is connected to the power start-up circuit of the electric motorcycle. The footrest assembly 30 is located on the left and right sides below the rear seat of the electric motorcycle and is fixed to the frame by footrest base 31 fixing bolts.

[0026] Based on the information sensed by the pressure sensor 10, the rear foot pedal system controls the drive motor 32 via the controller 20 to adjust the foot pedal body to unfold or retract, achieving automatic unfolding when carrying passengers and automatic retraction when no one is present. It boasts a high degree of intelligence and greatly facilitates users.

[0027] See you again Figure 2 As shown, the pedal assembly 30 includes a pedal base 31. A drive motor 32 electrically connected to the controller 20 is provided on the side of the pedal base 31. The drive end of the drive motor 32 has an active bevel tooth 33. A bushing 34 is fixedly provided on the pedal base 31 on the same side as the drive motor 32. A pedal body 36 is connected inside the bushing 34 through a rotating shaft 35. The pedal body 36 can rotate in the same direction as the rotating shaft 35. The end of the rotating shaft 35 is provided with a driven bevel tooth 37 that meshes with the active bevel tooth 33.

[0028] Specifically, the foot pedal base 31 includes upper and lower structures arranged diagonally. The drive motor 32 is located in the upper structure, with its drive end pointing horizontally to the rear. The active conical tooth 33 is vertically oriented. The foot pedal body is located in the lower structure at the rear, with the driven conical tooth 37 vertically oriented and meshing with the active conical tooth 33. (See [reference]). Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the front side is perpendicular to the inside and the rear side is perpendicular to the outside. This structure allows the foot pedal body to be unfolded and perpendicular to the foot pedal base 31 with minimal stroke during the adjustment of the drive motor 32, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the mechanical components and reducing wear.

[0029] Specifically, in order to enable the pedal body to rotate in the same direction as the driven bevel gear 37, the end of the pedal body 36 is provided with a shaft bracket that meshes with the bushing 34. The rotating shaft 35 passes through the shaft bracket and the bushing 34. The inner side of the shaft bracket is provided with a pedal keyway. The rotating shaft 35 is provided with a shaft keyway at a position opposite to the pedal keyway. A fixing key 38 is provided in the pedal keyway and the shaft keyway. The width of the two keyways matches the width of the fixing key 38.

[0030] To ensure the stability of the installation between the driven bevel gear 37 and the rotating shaft 35, the driven bevel gear 37 is provided with a spline sleeve (not shown) inside, the top of the rotating shaft 35 is provided with a matching spline (not shown), and is fastened by an external bolt 39, and the bottom is fastened by a rotating shaft fixing bolt 310.

[0031] During installation, first align the two keyways, insert the fixing key 38, then install the driven conical tooth 37, and tighten it in opposite directions using external bolts 39 and rotating shaft fixing bolts 310 to improve installation stability.

[0032] In order to ensure the stability of the drive motor 32 installation, the foot pedal base 31 is provided with an L-shaped motor bracket 311. The end plate of the motor bracket 311 is fixed to the foot pedal base 31 by bracket fixing bolts. The wing plate of the motor bracket 311 has a hole for the drive shaft of the drive motor 32 to pass through. The drive motor 32 is fixed to the wing plate of the motor bracket 311 by motor fixing bolts.

[0033] In order to improve the ease of use of the rear foot pedal system, the controller 20 is also connected to a Bluetooth module, which can control the unfolding and folding of the foot pedals through the car key, thus improving its operability.

[0034] The working principle of this rear footrest system is as follows: When a passenger is seated in the back of the electric motorcycle, the pressure sensor 10 located under the seat cushion receives a pressure signal. The pressure sensor 10 transmits the pressure signal to the controller 20. After receiving the signal, the controller 20 sends a command to the rear footrest drive motor 32. Upon receiving the signal, the rear footrest drive motor 32 starts working, thereby unfolding the rear footrests so that the rear passenger can place their feet on the unfolded footrests. When the rear passenger leaves, the pressure sensor 10 located under the seat cushion loses the pressure signal and then sends a blank signal back to the controller 20. Upon receiving the blank pressure signal, the controller 20 sends a new command to the rear footrest drive motor 32. Upon receiving the new command, the rear footrest drive motor 32 starts working, thereby unfolding the rear footrests. It is highly practical and convenient to use.

[0035] In a second aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, an electric motorcycle is provided, including the aforementioned rear footrest system.

[0036] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present disclosure.
