Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive pedal technology, specifically an adjustable-angle electric pedal. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for car ride comfort increase, the functions of car dashboards are constantly being enriched and upgraded. Currently, foot pedal configurations have appeared on the market, providing a more comfortable riding experience for the front passenger. However, this configuration is not perfect. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a solution that can simultaneously satisfy comfort and retain the glove box structure.

[0003] Patent number CN116394819A discloses a utility model patent entitled "An Electric Footrest". This patent includes a mounting bracket, a motor, a rotating shaft, an incomplete gear, a pinion, a limiting groove, a footrest bracket, and a footrest plate. The motor drives the gear to rotate the foot pedal. This mechanism is similar to the structure of this patent, but the foot pedal can only rotate and will occupy the space of the glove box in terms of placement.

[0004] Patent number CN209225024U discloses a utility model patent entitled "Footrest Device and Vehicle Including the Same". The patent consists of a drive structure, a transmission structure, a mounting base, a pedal structure, and bolts. A motor drives a gear to move a fan, thereby causing the footrest to rotate around an axis. This motion mechanism is relatively simple and can realize the function of a footrest, but its layout still sacrifices space in the glove box. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above problems, this utility model provides an adjustable electric foot pedal, including a foot pedal sub-assembly, an angle adjuster assembly, a lead screw motion assembly, and multiple metal connectors. The foot pedal sub-assembly is fixedly connected to the lead screw motion assembly, and the lead screw motion assembly is fixedly connected to the angle adjuster assembly. The foot pedal sub-assembly includes an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate, and a metal bracket. The upper cover plate is fixedly connected to the metal bracket, and the lower cover plate is fixedly connected to the metal bracket.

[0006] Furthermore, the top cover is fixedly connected to the metal bracket by bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower cover plate is bolted to the metal bracket via a second metal connector and a third metal connector.

[0008] Furthermore, the foot pedal sub-assembly is bolted to the lead screw motion mechanism assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the lead screw motion assembly is fixedly connected to the angle adjuster assembly by means of both bolting and welding through the first metal connector.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. The requirement to retain some storage functionality in the glove box;

[0012] 2. Meets the requirements for electric opening and closing;

[0013] 3. The angle is adjustable to meet the requirements of riding comfort and satisfy individual needs. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the present invention.

[0015] Figure 2 This is schematic diagram I of the present invention.

[0016] Figure 3 This is schematic diagram II of the present invention.

[0017] Figure 4 This is schematic diagram III of the present invention.

[0018] In the picture:

[0019] 1. Upper cover plate, 2. Metal bracket, 3. Lead screw motion assembly, 4. Angle adjuster assembly, 5. First metal connector, 6. Second metal connector, 7. Third metal connector, 8. Lower cover plate. Detailed Implementation

[0020] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0021] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "setting," "installing," "connecting," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; a connection can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a joint can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] An adjustable electric foot pedal includes: a foot pedal sub-assembly, an angle adjuster assembly 4, a lead screw motion assembly 3, and multiple metal connectors; the foot pedal sub-assembly includes an upper cover plate 1, a lower cover plate 8, and a metal bracket 2.

[0023] The upper cover plate 1 is fixed to the metal bracket 2 by bolts, and the lower cover plate 8 is fixed to the metal bracket 2 by bolts through the second metal connector 6 and the third metal connector 7. The foot pedal assembly is bolted to the output end of the lead screw motion mechanism assembly 3. The lead screw motion assembly 3 is fixed to the angle adjuster assembly 4 by bolts and welding through the first metal connector 5.

[0024] The motor in the lead screw motion assembly 3 drives the lead screw to move, causing the foot pedal sub-assembly to extend horizontally. Then, the angle adjuster assembly 4 is driven by the motor in the angle adjuster assembly to rotate the foot pedal sub-assembly to the desired angle.

[0025] The foot pedal is located below the glove box on the passenger side, and is horizontally positioned below the glove box when not in use.

[0026] The glove box is a storage space that can be opened by hand in front of the passenger seat. The foot pedal is installed below the glove box and is screwed to the metal crossbeam. When not in use, it is horizontally placed below the glove box. Therefore, the foot pedal configuration can be added while retaining the space of the glove box.

[0027] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, and within the spirit and principles of this utility model, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
