Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive floor mat technology, specifically a touch-guided automotive floor mat. Background Technology

[0002] Car floor mats are functional interior accessories placed on the floors of the driver's and passenger's cabins of a car. Their primary purpose is to protect the original car carpets from stains, wear, and moisture damage. They also provide anti-slip properties, sound insulation, and cushioning for the feet, enhancing the driving and riding experience. They come in a variety of materials, commonly including silk loops, leather, rubber, and plush, each with its own characteristics in terms of durability, ease of cleaning, comfort, and aesthetics. Beyond their practical function, car floor mats can also enhance the interior space through their colors and textures, serving as an important part of daily car maintenance and interior design.

[0003] The applicant's patent application number is CN202421374170.1, which discloses a guided car floor mat, comprising: a driver's side floor mat, a passenger side floor mat, and two rear seat floor mats; wherein, the driver's side floor mat includes a mat body, with multiple anti-slip blocks arranged sequentially at the ends of the mat body near the brake pedal to prevent slippage and increase the coefficient of friction; multiple positioning blocks are arranged near the accelerator pedal of the mat body, with the positioning blocks facing the bottom of the accelerator pedal, and the height of the positioning blocks can be adjusted according to the accelerator pedal settings of different car models. This utility model can guide the driver to accurately locate the accelerator and brake pedal positions, thereby improving driving proficiency.

[0004] However, existing technologies restrict passenger foot movement through various positioning blocks. In practical applications, due to the large differences between individual passengers, the variety of foot sizes and shoe models, the positioning blocks are suitable for a limited number of people, which affects the promotion of the product.

[0005] In summary, this utility model provides a touch-guided car floor mat to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a touch-guided car floor mat, which solves the problem of limited applicability of existing guided floor mats by designing height differences on the floor mat.

[0007] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A touch-guided car floor mat includes an anti-slip layer, a skeleton layer disposed below the anti-slip layer, an adhesive layer disposed below the skeleton layer, and a positioning layer disposed in the middle of the anti-slip layer;

[0009] A support plate is provided below the positioning layer. The upper surface of the support plate is in contact with the bottom surface of the positioning layer. A fixing plate is provided at the bottom end of the support plate. A hook ring is provided below the fixing plate. A first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hook ring. The bottom end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the bonding layer.

[0010] In this invention, the anti-slip layer serves two purposes: firstly, it enhances friction, preventing drivers from slipping when entering or exiting the vehicle and while driving, thus avoiding traffic accidents; secondly, when the driver steps on the anti-slip layer with feedback pillars underneath, they can feel the change in their foot position, making it easier to determine the foot's location, even in dark environments, facilitating novice drivers' understanding of the vehicle's internal structure; the skeleton layer limits and supports the feedback pillars and support plate, ensuring the overall stability of the floor mat's structure; the bonding layer ensures a tight fit with the vehicle's internal structure, preventing frequent shaking and enhancing the floor mat's safety performance; the positioning layer aligns with the driver's frequently used foot positions, such as the accelerator area where the driver's right foot is located and the brake area where the driver's left foot is located; the support plate transmits the elasticity of the first spring, creating a suitable height difference between the positioning layer and the anti-slip layer under natural conditions, allowing the driver to quickly determine the foot's location and providing a clear tactile difference compared to the surrounding feedback pillars when stepping on it. Simultaneously, when the driver presses the support plate, the positioning layer returns to a similar height to the anti-slip layer, preventing the height difference from affecting the driver's movement.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the support plate has a plurality of feedback posts on its side, the skeleton layer has a plurality of limiting holes on its surface, the feedback posts are located inside the limiting holes, the bottom end of the feedback posts is fixedly connected to a limiting ring, a second spring is fixedly connected below the limiting ring, and the bottom end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the bonding layer.

[0012] In this invention, multiple feedback columns are tightly attached to the anti-slip layer via a second spring at the bottom. When the driver steps on top of the feedback column, the second spring is compressed, and the force is simultaneously transmitted back to the driver's foot, thus affecting the driver's tactile sensation. The skeleton layer and the limiting ring are used to limit the distance the feedback column moves, preventing the feedback column from leaving the path and also preventing the feedback column from being too high, which would disrupt the height difference between the positioning layer and the support plate and the surrounding area.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the bonding layer has a first mounting hole on the side near the first spring.

[0014] In this invention, the first mounting hole is used to limit the movement path of the first spring and enhance the stability of the structure.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the bonding layer has a second mounting hole on the side near the second spring.

[0016] In this invention, the second mounting hole is used to limit the movement path of the second spring and enhance the stability of the structure.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a buckle is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing plate, and the bottom end of the buckle is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0018] In this invention, a buckle connects one end of the support plate to the fixing plate, preventing them from separating while both the support plate and the fixing plate have a certain degree of flexibility.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a hook is fixedly connected to the top of the hook ring, and the side of the hook is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0020] In this invention, the hook connects the hook ring to the support plate, and with both the support plate and the hook ring having a certain degree of flexibility, the two are prevented from separating.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning layer, support plate, fixing plate, hook ring, and first spring are arranged in two sets above the bonding layer.

[0022] In this invention, the two sets of positioning layers are mainly used to position the accelerator and brake of the vehicle.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the anti-slip layer is provided with anti-slip stripes, and the upper surface of the positioning layer is provided with positioning stripes.

[0024] In this invention, the anti-slip stripes are mainly used to enhance the surface friction, while the positioning stripes, while enhancing the surface friction, have a significant difference in tactile feel compared to the anti-slip stripes, further enhancing the positioning function of the positioning layer.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the anti-slip layer is made of SEBS-based medium-hardness thermoplastic elastomer, the positioning layer is made of NBR / PVC blended foam, the support plate is made of polypropylene mesh sheet, and the fixing plate is made of low-density EVA foam.

[0026] In this invention, the anti-slip layer is made of SEBS-based medium-hardness thermoplastic elastomer, which combines anti-slip properties, moderate deformation capability, and tactile feedback. The positioning layer is made of NBR / PVC blended foam material, which has high elasticity, is soft and can be bent at will. After deformation, it recovers by the tensile force of the rubber molecular chains and is resistant to oil stains. The support plate is made of polypropylene mesh sheet, which can provide structural support and promote reasonable deformation while reducing the impact on the tactile feel of the foot through lightweight design and soft surface. The fixing plate is made of low-density EVA foam material, which, with its high elasticity and softness, takes into account both fixation and dynamic adaptability.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of the support plate and the first spring, creates a natural height difference between the positioning layer and the anti-slip layer, allowing the driver to quickly identify the foot position by touch; when stepped on, the positioning layer falls back to the height of the anti-slip layer, avoiding affecting foot movement, which is especially convenient for novices to master the vehicle structure and operate in dark environments, solving the problem of limited applicability of the positioning function in the prior art.

[0029] 2. This utility model creates a tactile difference between the positioning stripes of the positioning layer and the anti-slip stripes of the anti-slip layer, further enhancing the identification of key areas and assisting the driver in positioning. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0039] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a touch-guided car floor mat, including an anti-slip layer 1, a skeleton layer 2 below the anti-slip layer 1, an adhesive layer 3 below the skeleton layer 2, and a positioning layer 4 in the middle of the anti-slip layer 1.

[0040] A support plate 5 is provided below the positioning layer 4. The upper surface of the support plate 5 is in contact with the bottom surface of the positioning layer 4. A fixing plate 51 is provided at the bottom end of the support plate 5. A hook ring 52 is provided below the fixing plate 51. A first spring 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hook ring 52. The bottom end of the first spring 53 is fixedly connected to the bonding layer 3.

[0041] The support plate 5 has several feedback posts 6 on its side, and the skeleton layer 2 has several limiting holes 21 on its surface. The feedback posts 6 are located inside the limiting holes 21. The bottom end of the feedback posts 6 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 61. A second spring 62 is fixedly connected below the limiting ring 61. The bottom end of the second spring 62 is fixedly connected to the bonding layer 3.

[0042] The bonding layer 3 has a first mounting hole 31 on the side near the first spring 53.

[0043] The bonding layer 3 has a second mounting hole 32 on the side near the second spring 62.

[0044] A buckle 54 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing plate 51, and the bottom end of the buckle 54 is fixedly connected to the support plate 5.

[0045] A hook 55 is fixedly connected to the top of the hook ring 52, and the side of the hook 55 is fixedly connected to the support plate 5.

[0046] The positioning layer 4, support plate 5, fixing plate 51, hook ring 52, and first spring 53 are arranged in two sets above the bonding layer 3.

[0047] The upper surface of the anti-slip layer 1 is provided with anti-slip stripes, and the upper surface of the positioning layer 4 is provided with positioning stripes.

[0048] The anti-slip layer 1 is made of SEBS-based medium-hardness thermoplastic elastomer, the positioning layer 4 is made of NBR / PVC blended foam material, the support plate 5 is made of polypropylene mesh sheet, and the fixing plate 51 is made of low-density EVA foam material.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the anti-slip layer 1, the skeleton layer 2, and the bonding layer 3 are stacked from top to bottom to form a basic support structure, and a highly elastic positioning layer 4 is set near the vehicle's accelerator and brake.

[0050] The bonding layer 3 secures the bottom ends of the first spring 53 and the second spring 62 via the first mounting hole 31 and the second mounting hole 32, respectively, restricting the spring's movement path and ensuring structural stability. The limiting hole 21 of the skeleton layer 2 provides a vertical movement track for the feedback column 6, and the limiting ring 61 engages with the bottom end of the limiting hole 21 to prevent the feedback column 6 from detaching. The anti-slip layer 1, with its medium hardness, balances anti-slip friction with the transmission of tread pressure. The support plate 5 provides lightweight rigid support for the positioning layer 4, allowing for reasonable deformation to transmit the elasticity of the first spring 53.

[0051] In its natural state, the first spring 53 is extended, pushing the hook ring 52, fixing plate 51, and support plate 5 upwards, making the positioning layer 4 higher than the surface of the anti-slip layer 1, creating a significant height difference. When the driver steps on the positioning layer 4, the support plate 5 presses down on the first spring 53, compressing it, and the positioning layer 4 falls back to a height similar to the anti-slip layer 1, eliminating the height difference so as not to affect foot movement; after being released, the first spring 53 returns to its original position, and the positioning layer 4 rises back to its initial height, restoring its positioning function.

[0052] The feedback column 6 passes through the limiting hole 21 of the skeleton layer 2, and its bottom end is connected to the bonding layer 3 through the second spring 62. When not stepped on, the top of the feedback column 6 is in contact with the lower surface of the anti-slip layer 1 and is supported by the second spring 62; when the foot applies pressure to the anti-slip layer 1 above the feedback column 6, the feedback column 6 is pressed down along the limiting hole 21, the second spring 62 is compressed, and the stepping force is transmitted to the sole of the foot through the anti-slip layer 1, forming tactile feedback; the limiting hole 21 and the limiting ring 61 limit the stroke of the feedback column 6 to prevent excessive displacement or detachment.

[0053] Anti-slip stripes enhance overall friction and prevent foot slippage; positioning stripes provide a different tactile feel from the anti-slip stripes when pedaling, and combined with the height difference of positioning layer 4, further enhance the identification of the accelerator and brake areas.

[0054] The bonding layer 3 adheres tightly to the vehicle floor, ensuring the entire floor mat stays in close contact with the vehicle's interior, preventing it from shaking while driving.

[0055] In general, this utility model achieves dynamic adjustment of the height difference of the positioning layer 4 and tactile transmission of the feedback column 6 through the elastic linkage of the first spring 53 and the second spring 62. Combined with the texture difference of the anti-slip layer 1 and the positioning layer 4 and the characteristics of the multi-layer materials, it forms a closed-loop function of physical height difference recognition, tactile feedback and release reset when the driver steps on it.

[0056] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
