Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle parts, and in particular to a pedal device and an electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, chargers for two-wheeled electric vehicles are external chargers, and they generally adopt a detachable cable design, with power cord lengths typically between 1.5 and 2 meters. Due to the limited cable length, users must place the charger on the vehicle's footrest or the ground during actual use. However, this usage scenario poses safety hazards in rainy or snowy weather. Rainwater or snowmelt can easily seep into the internal circuitry through weak points such as the charger's ventilation holes and seams, leading to short circuits, electrical leaks, or even fires.

[0003] To address these issues, existing technologies typically involve installing a fixed protective cover on the pedal to protect the charger. However, the addition of the protective cover affects the flatness of the pedal surface and limits the pedal's storage function. Furthermore, the protective cover occupies space above the pedal, affecting the rider's foot placement needs when getting on and off the bike and during riding, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a pedal device and an electric vehicle that can shield and protect the charger without damaging the flatness of the pedal surface and without occupying the space above the pedal.

[0005] This application provides a pedal device, including a pedal body and a blocking component;

[0006] The pedal body is provided with a storage groove, and the shielding component can be embedded in the storage groove so as to be flush with the groove edge of the storage groove.

[0007] The shielding component is movably mounted on the pedal body, and the shielding component can arch relative to the pedal body to form a protective cavity with the pedal body.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the shielding component further includes at least one curtain, and the storage slot is correspondingly provided with the curtain;

[0009] The curtain is a flexible, bendable component, allowing it to be flattened and embedded in the storage slot or arched relative to the pedal body.

[0010] One end of the curtain is a fixed end, and the fixed end of the curtain is hinged to the main body of the pedal; the other end of the curtain is a movable end, and the movable end of the curtain can be positioned in a preset position to make the curtain arch.

[0011] In the above technical solution, when the shielding component includes a curtain, the movable end of the curtain is detachably connected to the pedal body;

[0012] When the shielding assembly includes multiple curtains, the movable ends of the multiple curtains are detachably connected.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the shielding component further includes two curtains arranged symmetrically, with the fixed ends of the two curtains close to each other and the movable ends of the two curtains far apart from each other.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the curtain further includes connecting ribs and multiple support strips; the cross-section of the support strip is a trapezoidal surface, and the waist of the trapezoidal surface and the long side of the support strip form a fitting surface;

[0015] The connecting ribs are used to connect multiple support strips in sequence, and the mating surfaces of any two adjacent support strips can be abutted to make the curtain arch, or the mating surfaces of any two adjacent support strips can form an angled gap to make the curtain flatten.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the storage groove extends to the edge of the pedal body so that the movable end of the flattened curtain is flush with the edge of the pedal body.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the bottom of the storage groove is inclined, and the high end of the groove bottom is opposite to the fixed end of the curtain, while the low end of the groove bottom is opposite to the movable end of the flattened curtain.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] The pedal device provided in this application can be used in electric vehicles and other vehicles. When the electric vehicle is being charged by an external charger, the pedal device can protect the external charger and avoid safety hazards caused by rain and snow.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the pedal device includes a pedal body 101 and a shielding component. The pedal body 101 is provided with a storage groove 102, and the shielding component can be embedded in the storage groove 102 so as to be flush with the groove edge of the storage groove 102. When the electric vehicle is not charging, the surface of the pedal device can be kept flat, which does not affect the rider's foot placement needs when getting on and off the vehicle and during riding, and also improves the aesthetics of the pedal device. Since the shielding component does not occupy extra space, it does not affect the storage function of the pedal device.

[0038] The shielding component is movably mounted on the pedal body 101, and the shielding component can arch relative to the pedal body 101 to form a protective cavity 103 with the pedal body 101. Specifically, when the electric vehicle is being charged by an external charger, the shielding component in the storage slot 102 can be picked up and arched relative to the pedal body 101. The external charger can be placed on the pedal body 101, and the external charger is located within the protective cavity 103 formed by the shielding component and the pedal body 101. The shielding component can then shield the external charger from above, thereby protecting it from rain and snow and improving safety.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the shielding component includes at least one curtain 104, and a storage slot 102 is correspondingly provided with the curtain 104 to respectively store each curtain 104. The curtain 104 is a flexible, bendable component. When not charging, the curtain 104 can be flattened and embedded into the storage slot 102 to reduce the space occupied by the pedal body 101 and its surroundings. When charging, the flexible curtain 104 has a certain degree of support, allowing it to arch relative to the pedal body 101 to form a physical barrier, thereby achieving the function of shielding the external charger.

[0040] Specifically, one end of the curtain 104 is a fixed end 105, and the fixed end 105 of the curtain 104 is hinged to the pedal body 101; the other end of the curtain 104 is a movable end 106, so that the movable end 106 of the curtain 104 can be lifted, and the flexible structure of the curtain 104 allows it to arch to form a protective cavity 103 with a large space and good shielding effect. After the curtain 104 is lifted, the movable end 106 of the curtain 104 can be fixed in a preset position, so that the curtain 104 can maintain its arched state.

[0041] Preferably, the movable end 106 of the curtain 104 can be magnetically fixed in a preset position to facilitate the positioning and disassembly of the movable end 106 of the curtain 104.

[0042] Specifically, when the shielding assembly includes a curtain 104, the protective cavity 103 is formed by the curtain 104 and the pedal body 101. During charging, the user only needs to lift one curtain 104 and arch it, so that the movable end 106 of the curtain 104 is connected and fixed to the pedal body 101. Permanent magnets that attract each other are provided at the movable end 106 of the curtain 104 and the pedal body 101, and the arched position of the curtain 104 can be fixed by magnetic attraction. After charging is completed, the movable end 106 of the curtain 104 is removed from the pedal body 101, and then the curtain 104 is returned to the storage slot 102.

[0043] When the shielding assembly includes multiple curtains 104, the protective cavity 103 is formed by the multiple curtains 104 and the pedal body 101. During charging, the user needs to lift the multiple curtains 104 and arch them, with the movable ends 106 of the multiple curtains 104 connected to form an arched structure. Permanent magnets that attract each other are provided at the movable ends 106 of the multiple curtains 104, and the arched position of the multiple curtains 104 can be fixed by magnetic attraction. After charging is completed, the movable ends 106 of the multiple curtains 104 are detached, and then the multiple curtains 104 are returned to their corresponding storage slots 102.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the shielding assembly includes two symmetrically arranged curtains 104, with the fixed ends 105 of the two curtains 104 close to each other and the movable ends 106 of the two curtains 104 far apart from each other. When the shielding assembly is arched, the movable ends 106 of the two curtains 104 that are far apart from each other come closer together and arch up. At this time, the side of the curtains 104 away from the storage groove 102 forms the inner wall of the protective cavity 103.

[0045] In the optional solutions of this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the curtain 104 includes connecting ribs and multiple support strips 107; the cross-section of the support strip 107 is trapezoidal, and the waist of the trapezoidal surface and the long side of the support strip 107 form a contact surface; the connecting ribs are used to connect multiple support strips 107 in sequence. When the curtain 104 arches, the support strips 107 rotate so that the contact surfaces of any two adjacent support strips 107 can touch, and multiple support strips 107 are close to each other to form a rainproof barrier. At this time, the shorter upper base of the trapezoidal surface is located inside the curtain 104, and the longer lower base of the trapezoidal surface is located outside the curtain 104.

[0046] When the curtain 104 is flattened, an angled gap 108 is formed between the mating surfaces of any two adjacent support bars 107. At this time, the upper bases of the trapezoidal surfaces corresponding to the multiple support bars 107 are located on the same plane, and the lower bases of the trapezoidal surfaces corresponding to the multiple support bars 107 are located on the same plane. In the flattened curtain 104, the angled gap 108 formed by the support bars 107 can also form a longitudinally arranged anti-slip pattern, which can increase the anti-slip properties of the rider's pedal position and improve safety.

[0047] for Figure 1 and Figure 2 Regarding the two curtains 104 shown, when the curtain 104 changes from a flattened state to an arched state, the curtain 104 flips in the vertical direction, that is, the bottom of the curtain 104 (the side facing the storage groove 102) is flipped to the top (the outer side of the arched curtain 104). When the curtain 104 is placed in the storage groove 102, the bottom of the trapezoidal surface corresponding to the support bar 107 is located inside the storage groove 102.

[0048] When the curtain 104 changes from a flattened state to an arched state, the vertical direction of the curtain 104 is not reversed. That is, the bottom of the curtain 104 (the side facing the storage groove 102) is the inner side of the arched curtain 104. When the curtain 104 is placed in the storage groove 102, the upper bottom of the trapezoidal surface corresponding to the support bar 107 is located inside the storage groove 102.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the storage groove 102 extends to the edge of the pedal body 101 so that rainwater in the storage groove 102 can be drained. The movable end 106 of the flattened curtain 104 is flush with the edge of the pedal body 101, which can increase the size of the curtain 104 and increase the size of the protective cavity 103 formed by the arching of the curtain 104; and when the curtain 104 is lifted, the curtain 104, which is flush with the edge of the pedal body 101, is easier to lift, making the operation more convenient for the user.

[0050] Furthermore, the bottom of the collection trough 102 is inclined, with the higher end of the bottom facing the fixed end 105 of the curtain 104, and the lower end facing the movable end 106 of the flattened curtain 104. That is, the bottom of the collection trough 102 is designed with a gradually deepening slope structure with a slope greater than 5°, in accordance with fluid dynamics principles, thereby achieving rapid guidance and drainage of rainwater in the collection trough 102. The arched rain-proof structure, combined with the sloping structure of the collection trough 102, can construct a rainwater drainage channel, effectively preventing water accumulation.

[0051] It should be noted that for the storage groove 102 with a sloping bottom, the multiple support bars 107 of the curtain 104 also need to be set to a structure with a gradual change in thickness from the fixed end 105 to the movable end 106, so that the curtain 104 can fill the storage groove 102 when flattened, thereby ensuring that the surface of the pedal device is flat.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the movable end 106 of the curtain 104 is provided with a pickup notch 109, and the pickup notch 109 is located on the side of the curtain 104 facing the storage groove 102, which makes it easy for the user's fingers to insert into the pickup notch 109 to drive the curtain 104 to flip and arch.

[0055] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the pedal body 101 is provided with a positioning groove 110, and the positioning groove 110 is located inside the protective cavity 103. Specifically, the positioning groove 110 is a recessed structure provided in the pedal body 101, and is located in the middle of the pedal body 101. The positioning groove 110 is adapted to an external charger to serve as its dedicated placement area.
