Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle parts technology and relates to a rear passenger foot pedal for motorcycles. Background Technology
[0002] To facilitate rear passenger seating and provide a place for their feet, motorcycles typically have footrests installed in appropriate locations. Existing motorcycles use two methods for installing footrests: one is a fixed installation where the footrest is always fully extended. This is convenient as passengers don't need to extend the footrest before use, but when not in use, the footrest still occupies space, potentially scratching other vehicles when moving them if they are parked close together. The second type is a manually extendable folding footrest. This requires the passenger to manually pull down the footrest to fully extend it. When not in use, the footrest can be folded away, saving space. However, manually extending the footrest is cumbersome, and for older footrests, rust or other damage can make them difficult to extend, thus failing to meet user needs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a foot pedal that is easy to use and retractable.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a rear passenger foot pedal for a motorcycle, comprising a foot pedal body, characterized in that the foot pedal body includes a foot pedal arm and a foot pedal rod seat connected to the foot pedal arm, and the foot pedal rod seat is provided with a core connected to it and for mounting the foot pedal arm, and the foot pedal rod seat is provided with an opening and closing unit connected to it, cooperating with the core, and opening and closing the foot pedal body.
[0005] In the aforementioned motorcycle rear passenger foot pedal, the foot pedal seat has an assembly groove for installing the core and the opening / closing unit, and the foot pedal seat is provided with a cover connected thereto and used to protect the core and the opening / closing unit.
[0006] In the aforementioned motorcycle rear passenger foot pedal, the opening and closing unit includes a paddle, a slider, a torsion spring, and a spring. The foot pedal seat has a groove for mounting the slider and facilitating its sliding. The paddle is located at the core of the foot pedal seat and is connected to it. The two ends of the spring respectively abut against the slider and the foot pedal seat, and the spring causes the slider to abut against the foot pedal seat. The foot pedal arm has a mounting hole for mounting the torsion spring. When the torsion spring is assembled, one end of the torsion spring is connected to the core of the foot pedal seat, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the foot pedal arm.
[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the rear passenger foot pedals of this motorcycle have the advantage of being easy to retract and use. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0014] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, this motorcycle rear passenger pedal includes a pedal body, which includes a pedal arm 1 with a backrest and a pedal rod seat 2 connected to the pedal arm 1. The pedal rod seat 2 has a core connected to it for mounting the pedal arm 1. The pedal rod seat 2 also has an opening / closing unit connected to it, cooperating with the core, and enabling the pedal body to open and close. The pedal arm 1 has a limiting groove that cooperates with the opening / closing unit. The pedal rod seat 2 has an assembly groove for mounting the core and the opening / closing unit. The pedal rod seat 2 has a cover 3 connected to it and used to protect the core and the opening / closing unit. The cover 3 has an opening for facilitating the movement of the pedal arm 1. The opening and closing unit includes a lever 4, a slider 5, a torsion spring 6, and a spring 7. The foot pedal seat 2 has a groove for mounting the slider 5 and facilitating its sliding. This groove communicates with the aforementioned mounting groove. The lever 4 is located in the core of the foot pedal seat 2 and engages with it, as well as with the slider 5. The lever 4 is in contact with the end face of the foot pedal seat 2. The lever 4 has a latching structure for engaging the foot pedal arm 1 and the slider 5, comprising a latch and a clip. The two ends of the spring 7 abut against the slider 5 and the foot pedal seat 2 respectively, and the spring 7 causes the slider 5 to abut against the foot pedal seat 2. The foot pedal arm 1 has a groove for mounting the torsion spring 6. The mounting holes allow for easy assembly of the torsion spring 6. One end of the torsion spring 6 connects to the core of the pedal arm seat 2, and the other end connects to the pedal arm 1. Both the core and the pedal arm 1 have locking slots to facilitate the assembly of the torsion spring 6. When the pedal needs to be opened, the pedal arm 1 is fixed to the core of the pedal arm seat 2. Driven by the torsion spring 6, the pedal arm 1 is brought into contact with the pedal arm seat 2, controlling the opening position of the pedal body. When switching from the open to the closed state, the pedal arm 1 rotates towards the closed position with the core of the pedal arm seat 2 as its center. The slider 5 slides along the arc of the pedal arm 1 under the thrust of the spring 7 until it engages with the limiting groove of the pedal arm 1. This position indicates the pedal is in the closed state. To switch from the closed to the open state, the pedal arm 1 needs to continue rotating towards the pedal seat 2. The latch of the pedal arm 1 pushes the paddle 4, which is fixed to the core of the pedal seat 2. Under the push of the pedal arm 1, the other side of the paddle 4 pushes the latch of the slider 5. The slider 5 moves backward under the combined force of the paddle 4 and the spring 7 until the other side of the paddle 4 blocks the slider 5, preventing it from moving forward. At this point, the pedal is released, and the pedal will rotate to the open position. Simultaneously, during the rotation of the pedal arm 1, the latch of the pedal arm 1 will cause the paddle 4 to return to the open state, and the slider 5 will also be freed from the restriction of the paddle 4 and return to the open state.
[0015] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0016] Although this document uses terms such as "etc." extensively, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this invention; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this invention.
