Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive control pedal technology, specifically to an adjustable position pedal for new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] An electronic pedal is a device that identifies the driver's intentions through pedal movement. The pedal sends the pedal signal to the domain controller or vehicle processor, and the vehicle then uses the signal to brake the braking unit and accelerate the acceleration unit to meet the driver's acceleration and deceleration expectations.

[0003] However, most existing car pedals are fixed and cannot be adjusted. Users can only adjust their position and distance from the pedal by adjusting the seat. When a user is tall and has long legs, adjusting the seat to a suitable position relative to the pedal may affect the driving experience of rear passengers because the seat is adjusted too far back. For shorter users, adjusting the seat may not meet their requirements, and they may need to place a seat cushion to further adjust the position, which affects the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figure 1-2An adjustable pedal for a new energy vehicle is shown, comprising: a pedal base 1, a pedal box 2, a pedal cover 3, and a base plate 4. The pedal base 1 is an open-top box structure, and includes a first sliding mechanism 11, a first drive motor 12, and a second drive motor 13. The pedal box 2 is disposed within the pedal base 1, with one end rotatably connected to the pedal base 1 via a box pivot, enabling overall rotation. A connecting rod 201 is disposed below the pedal box 2, connecting to a lead screw and nut bracket 202. The lead screw and nut bracket 202 is mounted above the first sliding mechanism 11, and a lead screw and nut 203 is disposed within the lead screw and nut 203, which engages with a lead screw driven by the first drive motor 12. The pedal cover 3 is disposed above the pedal base 1. A second sliding mechanism 41 is disposed on the base plate 4, and the pedal base 1 is mounted on the second sliding mechanism 41. Driven by the second drive motor 13, the pedal base 1 moves along the second sliding mechanism 41 on the base plate 4, adjusting the front and rear position of the pedal. The pedal box 2 rotates as a whole to store and unfold the pedal. The pedal base 1 adjusts the front and rear positions of the pedal through the second sliding mechanism 41. It occupies little space, adapts to different driving and riding needs, and improves the user experience of drivers and passengers.

[0021] like Figure 2 The illustration shows an adjustable pedal for a new energy vehicle. A first drive motor 12 and a second drive motor 13 are arranged opposite each other. The second sliding mechanism 41 includes a second sliding rail 411, a fourth slider 412, a lead screw bracket 413, and a second lead screw nut 414. The second sliding rail 411 is mounted on a base plate 4. The fourth slider 412 is slidably connected to the second sliding rail 411. The lead screw bracket 413 is mounted on the base plate 4, positioned directly opposite the second drive motor 13. The second lead screw nut 414 is fixedly mounted inside the lead screw bracket 413 and engages with the lead screw of the second drive motor 13. When the second drive motor 13 rotates the lead screw, the lead screw moves through the second lead screw nut 414 because the second lead screw nut 414 remains stationary, thus adjusting the pedal base 1 to meet the needs of different users.

[0022] like Figure 3 The diagram illustrates an adjustable pedal for new energy vehicles. The pedal box 2 includes a lower cover 21, an upper cover 22, a brake pedal assembly 23, and an accelerator pedal assembly 24.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] Based on Example 1, in this example, as... Figure 4 The diagram illustrates an adjustable pedal for a new energy vehicle. A sliding self-locking structure 221 is located below the lead screw and nut bracket 202. The sliding self-locking structure 221 includes a first spring 2211, a first slider 2212, a second slider 2213, a third slider 2214, a stop 2215, a guide shaft 2216, and a second spring 2217. The first spring 2211 is located below the lead screw and nut bracket 202. The first slider 2212 is connected to the first spring 2211. The second slider 2213 and the third slider 2214... 14. The stop block 2215 is installed sequentially on the fixed plate, which is installed inside the pedal base 1. The second slider 2213 and the stop block 2215 are fixed. The guide shaft 2216 is arranged between the second slider 2213 and the stop block 2215 and passes through the third slider 2214. The third slider 2214 can slide along the guide shaft 2216 between the second slider 2213 and the stop block 2215. The second spring 2217 is sleeved on the guide shaft 2216 and connects the second slider 2213 and the third slider 2214. When the pedal box 2 is rotated by the drive motor 12, the sliding self-locking structure 221 moves between the first slider 2212 and the second slider 2213 and the third slider 2214. At this time, the pedal is limited by the second slider 2213, and the pedal is unfolded. When it continues to move past the third slider 2214, the drive motor 12 rotates in the opposite direction. The first slider 2212 moves along the third slider 2214 and the second slider 2213. The third slider 2214 rebounds under the action of the second spring 2217, and the sliding self-locking structure 221 returns to its initial retracted state.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper ends of the first slider 2212, the second slider 2213, and the third slider 2214 are all two inclined surfaces, one long and one short, with the same inclination angle. The second slider 2213 is higher than the third slider 2214, and the width of the first slider 2212 is greater than the distance between the second slider 2213 and the third slider 2214. During the sliding process, the first slider 2212 makes a matching movement with the second slider 2213 and the third slider 2214.

[0026] like Figure 3The diagram shows an adjustable pedal for a new energy vehicle. The first sliding mechanism 11 includes a first sliding track 111 and a first sliding block 112. The first sliding track 111 is disposed inside the pedal base 1, and the first sliding block 112 is slidably connected on the first sliding track 111. A lead screw and nut bracket 202 is connected above the first sliding block 112. A lead screw and nut 203 is disposed in the lead screw and nut 202. The lead screw and nut 203 cooperates with the lead screw driven by the drive motor 12 to control the movement of the lead screw and nut bracket 202, thereby causing the pedal box 2 to rotate around the box axis, realizing the storage and operation of the pedal.
