[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, people's pursuit of automobiles is also constantly improving. As an important component of automobiles, the car step-up pedals are now subject to higher requirements in terms of practicality, aesthetics, sturdiness, safety, and functionality. As car models become larger, traditional car design and manufacturing processes often result in insufficient strength and support at the step-up pedal locations. After a period of use, traditional step-up pedals may sag, deform at the vehicle mounting points, exhibit weak mounting brackets, and weakened pedal strength, posing safety hazards for passengers getting in and out of the vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a reinforcing plate structure for car step-up and step-down pedals. This structure is achieved by welding a body bracket inside the body sheet metal. The body bracket has a top plate and a bottom plate extending to the top and bottom, respectively. This increases the contact area between the body bracket and the inner wall of the body sheet metal, improves the connection strength between the two, and effectively distributes the force of the step mounting bracket evenly to the body sheet metal.
[0004] The aforementioned automotive step reinforcement structure includes a body sheet metal frame. Multiple sets of body brackets are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body sheet metal frame. Multiple sets of step mounting brackets are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner wall of the body sheet metal frame. A second set of step mounting brackets is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the body sheet metal frame via bolts. A step fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of each step mounting bracket. A reinforcing steel pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the step fixing block. The reinforcing steel pipe includes a step steel pipe and a connecting steel pipe, with the connecting steel pipe located at the rear of the step steel pipe. Multiple sets of through holes are fixedly opened at the bottom of the reinforcing steel pipe. A panel support block is fixedly connected to the top of the step steel pipe. A step panel is fixedly connected to the top of the panel support block. A protruding strip is fixedly provided on the step panel. Four screw holes are fixedly opened on the step panel, and the four screw holes are fixedly connected to the panel support block via bolts.
[0005] Preferably, the vehicle body bracket includes a middle plate, a screw hole is fixedly opened on the middle plate, a top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the middle plate, a bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the middle plate, and a flange is fixedly provided on both sides of the middle plate and the top plate.
[0006] Preferably, the pedal mounting bracket includes a connecting plate, a reinforcing rib is fixedly provided on the connecting plate, an upper support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, a second screw hole is fixedly provided on the upper support plate, the second screw hole and the first screw hole are fixedly connected to the body sheet metal by bolts, a lower support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, an opening is fixedly provided in the middle of the lower support plate, a third screw hole is fixedly provided on both sides of the opening, and a second flange is fixedly provided on both sides of the pedal mounting bracket.
[0007] Preferably, the pedal fixing block includes a pedal fixing block one and a pedal fixing block two. A second opening is fixedly provided in the middle of the bottom of the pedal fixing block one, and screw holes five are fixedly provided on both sides of the second opening. The screw holes five and a set of screw holes three are fixedly connected by bolts. The top of the pedal fixing block one is welded and fixed to the connecting steel pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom center of the pedal fixing block 2 is fixedly provided with an opening 3, and screw holes 6 are fixedly provided on both sides of the opening 3. The screw holes 6 are fixedly connected to several other sets of screw holes 3 by bolts. Folded edges are fixedly connected to both sides of the pedal fixing block 2. A groove is fixedly provided in the middle of the folded edge. The groove is welded and fixed to the pedal steel pipe located in the middle of the reinforcing steel pipe. The front end of the pedal fixing block 2 is also welded and fixed to the pedal steel pipe.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] 1. By welding a body bracket inside the body sheet metal, the body bracket extends to the top and bottom with a top plate and a bottom plate respectively, increasing the contact area between the body bracket and the inner wall of the body sheet metal, improving the connection strength between the two, and effectively distributing the force of the pedal mounting bracket evenly to the body sheet metal, avoiding stress concentration on the body sheet metal, and increasing the upper limit of the load-bearing capacity of the pedal mounting bracket.
[0011] 2. By distributing the pedal mounting brackets, when the pedal mounting brackets are under force, downward pressure and bending moment will be generated around the connection point between the pedal mounting bracket and the body sheet metal. By installing the pedal mounting brackets at different distances along the pedal extension direction, the bending moment borne by the pedal mounting brackets far from the pedal panel can be greatly reduced, and the bending moment can be converted into a portion of the downward pressure of the pedal mounting brackets. Compared with setting the pedal mounting brackets neatly at the same distance from the pedal panel, this installation method greatly improves the support force and installation strength of the pedal.
[0012] 3. By setting up pedal fixing block one and pedal fixing block two, pedal fixing block one is welded and fixed to the connecting steel pipe at the rear of the reinforcing steel pipe, and pedal fixing block two is welded and fixed to the pedal steel pipe at the middle and front of the reinforcing steel pipe. This change in connection position avoids stress concentration of bending moment at the connection between the reinforcing steel pipe and the pedal fixing block when the user steps on the pedal, thus improving the structural strength of the connection between the reinforcing steel pipe and the pedal mounting bracket.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] The directional terms used in the detailed description paragraphs are only for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions described in this application based on the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setting," "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing plate structure for a car step-up / drop-off pedal includes a body sheet 1. The body sheet 1 has multiple sets of ribs at the connection points with the step mounting bracket 3 to improve the structural strength of the body sheet 1. Multiple sets of body brackets 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body sheet 1. By welding the body brackets 2 inside the body sheet 1, the body brackets 2 have a top plate 201 and a bottom plate 203 extending to the top and bottom respectively, increasing the contact area between the body brackets 2 and the inner wall of the body sheet 1. This not only improves the connection strength between the two, but also effectively distributes the force on the step mounting bracket 3 evenly to the body sheet 1, avoiding stress concentration on the body sheet 1 and increasing the upper limit of the load-bearing capacity of the step mounting bracket 3.
[0028] Multiple sets of pedal mounting brackets 3 are fixedly connected to the inner and outer walls of the body sheet metal 1. A second set of pedal mounting brackets 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the body sheet metal 1 by bolts. The second set of pedal mounting brackets 3 is directly fixed to the body sheet metal 1. The remaining sets of pedal mounting brackets 3 are all connected to the body sheet metal 1 in conjunction with the body brackets 2. By dispersing the pedal mounting brackets 3 and installing them on the inner and outer sides of the body sheet metal 1, when the pedal mounting brackets 3 are under force, downward pressure and bending moment will be generated around the connection point between the pedal mounting brackets 3 and the body sheet metal 1. The bending moment has a much greater impact on the upper limit of the load-bearing capacity of the pedal mounting brackets 3 than the downward pressure. By installing the pedal mounting brackets 3 at different distances along the pedal extension direction, the bending moment borne by the pedal mounting brackets 3 far away from the pedal panel 4 can be greatly reduced, and the bending moment can be converted into a portion of the downward pressure of the pedal mounting brackets 3. Compared with the pedal mounting brackets 3 being neatly arranged at the same distance from the pedal panel 4, this installation method greatly improves the support force and installation strength of the pedal.
[0029] A pedal fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the pedal mounting bracket 3. By setting the pedal fixing block 6, the pedal mounting bracket 3 and the reinforcing steel pipe 5 are firmly fixed together. Pedal fixing blocks 601 and 602 are also provided. Pedal fixing block 601 is welded to the connecting steel pipe 502 at the rear of the reinforcing steel pipe 5, and pedal fixing block 602 is welded to the pedal steel pipes 501 at the middle and front of the reinforcing steel pipe 5. This change in connection position avoids stress concentration of bending moment at the connection between the reinforcing steel pipe 5 and the pedal fixing block 6 when the user steps on the pedal, thus improving the structural strength of the connection between the reinforcing steel pipe 5 and the pedal mounting bracket 3. The top of the pedal fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing steel pipe 5. By setting the reinforcing steel pipe 5, the pedal panel 4 is surrounded, improving the overall structural strength of the pedal while increasing the area that the user can step on, thus improving user comfort.
[0030] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the reinforcing steel pipe 5 includes a pedal steel pipe 501 and a connecting steel pipe 502. The connecting steel pipe 502 is located at the rear of the pedal steel pipe 501. The pedal steel pipe 501 is arranged laterally to increase the coverage area of the reinforcing steel pipe 5, while the connecting steel pipe 502 is arranged longitudinally to improve the structural strength of the reinforcing steel pipe 5 itself. Multiple sets of through holes 503 are fixedly opened at the bottom of the reinforcing steel pipe 5. Water inside the reinforcing steel pipe 5 is drained through these through holes 503 to prevent water from accumulating inside the reinforcing steel pipe 5 for a long time, which could lead to corrosion and affect its service life. A plate support block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the pedal steel pipe 501. Figure 11 As shown, a pedal panel 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the board support block 7. A protruding strip 401 is fixedly provided on the pedal panel 4. By providing the protruding strip 401 on the pedal panel 4, the structural strength of the pedal panel 4 is improved, and the contact area between the user's foot and the pedal panel 4 is increased, thereby increasing the friction. A screw hole 402 is fixedly opened on the pedal panel 4, and the screw hole 402 is fixedly connected to the board support block 7 by bolts.
[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle body bracket 2 includes a middle plate 202, on which a screw hole 202A is fixedly opened. A top plate 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the middle plate 202, and a bottom plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the middle plate 202. Flanges 204 are fixedly provided on both sides of the middle plate 202 and the top plate 201. By setting the flanges 204, the structural strength of the vehicle body bracket 2 itself is increased, and the force on the pedal mounting bracket 3 is effectively transmitted to more areas of the vehicle body sheet metal 1.
[0032] The pedal mounting bracket 3 includes a connecting plate 302, on which a reinforcing rib 305 is fixedly mounted. An upper support plate 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 302. A second screw hole 301A is fixedly opened on the upper support plate 301. Screw holes 301A and 202A are fixedly connected to the body sheet metal 1 by bolts. A lower support plate 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 302. An opening 306 is fixedly opened in the middle of the lower support plate 303, and screw holes 307 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the opening 306. Flanged edges 304 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the pedal mounting bracket 3. By setting the flanged edges 304 and the reinforcing rib 305, the structural strength of the pedal mounting bracket 3 is improved, increasing the upper limit of the pedal's load-bearing capacity. The upper support plate 301 cooperates with the body bracket 2 to transfer the received force to the body sheet metal 1; the lower support plate 303 cooperates with the pedal fixing block 6 to bear the force of the pedal panel 4.
[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, the pedal fixing block 6 includes a pedal fixing block one 601 and a pedal fixing block two 602. A second opening 601B is fixedly formed in the center of the bottom of pedal fixing block one 601. Screw holes five 601A are fixedly formed on both sides of the second opening 601B. The screw holes five 601A are fixedly connected to a set of screw holes three 307 by bolts. The top of pedal fixing block one 601 is welded and fixed to the connecting steel pipe 502. The second opening 601B reduces the weight of pedal fixing block one 601 and prevents rainwater accumulation.
[0034] like Figure 8 As shown, the bottom center of the pedal fixing block 2 602 has an opening 3 602A. The opening 3 602A reduces the weight of the pedal fixing block 2 602 and prevents rainwater accumulation. Screw holes 602B are fixed on both sides of the opening 3 602A. The screw holes 602B are connected to several other sets of screw holes 3 307 by bolts. Folded edges 602D are fixed on both sides of the pedal fixing block 2 602. By setting the folded edges 602D, the contact area between the pedal fixing block 2 602 and the reinforcing steel pipe 5 is increased, facilitating welding and fixing. A groove 602C is fixed in the middle of the folded edge 602D. The groove 602C is welded and fixed to the pedal steel pipe 501 located in the middle of the reinforcing steel pipe 5. The front end of the pedal fixing block 2 602 is also welded and fixed to the pedal steel pipe 501.
[0035] This invention increases the contact area between the body bracket 2 and the inner wall of the body sheet metal 1 by welding a body bracket 2 inside the body sheet metal 1. The body bracket 2 has a top plate 201 and a bottom plate 203 extending to the top and bottom, respectively. This improves the connection strength between the body bracket 2 and the inner wall of the body sheet metal 1, and also effectively distributes the force of the pedal mounting bracket 3 evenly to the body sheet metal 1, avoiding stress concentration on the body sheet metal 1 and increasing the upper limit of the load-bearing capacity of the pedal mounting bracket 3. By distributing the pedal mounting brackets 3, when the pedal mounting brackets 3 are under force, downward pressure and bending moment are generated around the connection point between the pedal mounting bracket 3 and the body sheet metal 1. By installing the pedal mounting brackets 3 at different distances along the pedal extension direction, the bending moment borne by the pedal mounting brackets 3 far from the pedal panel 4 can be greatly reduced, and the bending moment can be converted into a portion of the downward pressure of the pedal mounting brackets 3. Compared with the pedal mounting brackets 3 being neatly arranged at the same distance from the pedal panel 4, this installation method greatly improves the support force and installation strength of the pedal.
