Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, specifically an anti-slip structure for automotive foot pedals. Background Technology

[0002] A side step is an auxiliary device installed on the side of a vehicle, mainly used to facilitate passengers getting in and out of the vehicle. It is commonly found in SUVs and MPVs. It makes getting in and out of the vehicle easier: for vehicles with a high chassis, the side step can reduce the step height when getting in and out of the vehicle, which is especially convenient for the elderly, children and people of shorter stature. During driving, the side step can prevent obstacles from directly scratching the vehicle body, reducing the risk of damage to the paint and sheet metal.

[0003] However, due to the limited width of the car's side steps, they can only provide some support for the feet. Although there are anti-slip protrusions on top, they can easily increase the risk of slipping in rainy weather. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an anti-slip structure for automobile pedals, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-slip structure for automobile pedals, including a side pedal mechanism, the side pedal mechanism including an upper pedal and a lower pedal, a rotating hinge installed between the upper pedal and the lower pedal, drainage grooves being formed on the lower surface of the upper pedal and the upper surface of the lower pedal, a power supply mechanism being provided on the side of the lower pedal away from the rotating hinge, an embedded groove being formed inside the lower pedal, a heating wire being provided inside the embedded groove, a power supply line being connected between the heating wire and the power supply mechanism, a switch mounting groove being formed on one side of the upper surface of the lower pedal, and a limit switch being installed inside the switch mounting groove.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and lower pedals can be folded and unfolded, which increases the stepping area when getting on and off the vehicle. When unfolded, the power supply mechanism can heat the lower pedal to dry the adhering rainwater.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: mounting brackets are installed on both sides of the power supply mechanism on the side surface of the lower pedal, and a support protrusion is installed below the lower pedal on the side near the rotating hinge.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting bracket can be used to connect and install the lower pedal to the vehicle chassis, while the support protrusion can play a supporting role when the upper pedal is unfolded, so as to avoid the hinge not being able to provide sufficient support.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper surface of the upper pedal is provided with an array of anti-slip protrusions.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip protrusions can increase friction during daily walking.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer diameter of the upper pedal and the lower pedal are the same, and the upper pedal and the lower pedal are movably connected by the rotating hinge.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer diameter of the upper pedal and the lower pedal are the same, which reduces wind resistance when the vehicle is in motion after folding.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limit switch is electrically connected to the power supply line and the heating wire.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit switch can be set so that the heating circuit is turned on when the control pedal is unfolded.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the lower pedal, and the support protrusion is fixedly connected to the lower pedal.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, a protective cover for connecting to the vehicle is provided on the outside of the power supply mechanism.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective cover can protect the outside of the power supply mechanism, preventing collision damage to the power supply mechanism during operation.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, the anti-slip protrusion is integrally formed above the upper pedal by stamping.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip protrusions integrally set on the upper and lower pedals can increase the friction coefficient of the contact surface after unfolding.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. In rainy weather or when there are elderly passengers, the upper step can be rotated outwards so that it presses against the upper surface of the support protrusion. Therefore, both the upper and lower steps can be stepped on, increasing the contact area and reducing the possibility of stepping into the air.

[0022] 2. When the upper pedal is unfolded, the power supply mechanism will heat the heating wire, which will increase the temperature of the lower pedal. Therefore, when passengers get on the vehicle, the rainwater adhering to the upper and lower pedals will be evaporated by the rising lower pedal, thus preventing slippage when passengers get off the vehicle.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides an anti-slip structure for a car pedal, including a side pedal mechanism 1. The side pedal mechanism 1 includes an upper pedal 2 and a lower pedal 3. A rotating hinge 6 is installed between the upper pedal 2 and the lower pedal 3. The upper pedal 2 and the lower pedal 3 have the same outer diameter and are movably connected by the rotating hinge 6. Drainage grooves 202 are provided on the lower surface of the upper pedal 2 and the upper surface of the lower pedal 3. A power supply mechanism 5 is provided on the side of the lower pedal 3 away from the rotating hinge 6. A protective cover for connecting to the vehicle is provided on the outside of the power supply mechanism 5. An embedded groove 303 is provided inside the lower pedal 3. A heating wire 304 is provided inside the embedded groove 303. A power supply line 501 is connected between the heating wire 304 and the power supply mechanism 5. A switch mounting groove 302 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the lower pedal 3. A limit switch 502 is installed inside the switch mounting groove 302. The limit switch 502 is electrically connected to the power supply line 501 and the heating wire 304.

[0031] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, mounting brackets 4 are installed on both sides of the power supply mechanism 5 on the side surface of the lower pedal 3. The mounting brackets 4 are fixedly connected to the lower pedal 3. A support protrusion 301 is installed on the lower pedal 3 on the side near the rotating hinge 6. The support protrusion 301 is fixedly connected to the lower pedal 3. Anti-slip protrusions 201 are arrayed on the upper surface of the upper pedal 2. The anti-slip protrusions 201 are integrally formed on the upper pedal 2 by stamping.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, the mounting bracket 4 at the side end of the side pedal mechanism 1 is installed under the chassis of the vehicle. At the same time, the power supply mechanism 5 is installed on the chassis of the vehicle using a protective cover. When the vehicle is in normal use, the upper pedal 2 and the lower pedal 3 are rotated and folded using the hinge 6, so that the side of the upper pedal 2 with the anti-slip protrusion 201 faces upward for normal stepping. At the same time, when the upper pedal 2 presses against the upper surface of the lower pedal 3, it continuously presses the limit switch 502, thus disconnecting the power supply line 501 from the heating wire 304. In rainy weather or when there are elderly passengers, the upper pedal 2 can be rotated outwards, pressing against the upper surface of the support protrusion 301 to increase the stepping area, thus making it easier to step on. At the same time, when the upper pedal 2 is unfolded in rainy weather, the pressure on the limit switch 502 is released, and the power supply mechanism 5 will supply power to the heating wire 304 to heat it, which can raise the temperature of the lower pedal 3. Therefore, when passengers get on the vehicle, the rainwater adhering to the upper pedal 2 and the lower pedal 3 will be evaporated by the rising lower pedal 3, thus preventing slippage when passengers get off the vehicle.
