Detailed Implementation
[0028] 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.
[0029] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an external pedal, which is installed on the side pedal of a vehicle. The external pedal includes a pedal body 1 and two fixing components 2. Both ends of the pedal body 1 have suspension arms 11. The two fixing components 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the two suspension arms 11. The fixing components 2 are used to install on the side pedal of the vehicle. The pedal body 1 is located at the bottom of the side pedal and extends to the side of the side pedal away from the vehicle.
[0032] In this embodiment, two fixing components 2 are respectively fixedly connected to two suspension arms 11. The fixing components 2 install the pedal body 1 on the side pedal of the vehicle and fix the pedal body 1 to the bottom of the side pedal of the vehicle, thereby reducing the height of the pedal body 1 from the ground. This greatly facilitates users such as the elderly, children and pets to step onto the side pedal with the lower pedal body 1 and then step onto the vehicle from the side pedal. The pedal body 1 extends to the side of the side pedal away from the vehicle. Specifically, the suspension arm 11 has an arc and faces the outside of the side pedal of the vehicle. The suspension arm 11 makes the pedal body 1 extend to the side of the side pedal away from the vehicle. That is to say, the pedal body 1 and the side pedal form a step, which further facilitates the user to get on and off the vehicle.
[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the pedal body 1 includes a pedal part 12 and a fixing part 13. The two ends of the fixing part 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the two suspension arms 11, and the pedal part 12 is installed above the fixing part 13.
[0034] In this embodiment, the pedal body 1 includes a pedal part 12 and a fixing part 13. The two ends of the fixing part 13 are fixedly connected to two suspension arms 11 respectively. The suspension arms and the fixing part 13 form a fixed frame, which ensures the overall strength of the external pedal. The pedal part 12 is installed above the fixing part 13 and can bear the weight of the user, ensuring the stability of the external pedal.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the pedal portion 12 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip holes 121, which are evenly arranged in multiple rows on the pedal portion 12. The anti-slip holes 121 are reverse-pressed holes, and the anti-slip holes 121 protrude upward toward the pedal portion 12.
[0036] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of anti-slip holes 121 on the pedal part 12, the anti-slip holes 121 can be formed by a reverse stamping process, so that the anti-slip holes 121 protrude upward toward the pedal part 12. When the user steps on the pedal part 12, the anti-slip holes 121 can increase the friction between the user and the pedal part 12, effectively preventing the user from slipping and protecting the user.
[0037] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, the fixing component 2 includes a first fixing block 21, a second fixing block 22, a rotating member 23, and a locking member 24. The first fixing block 21 is fixedly connected to the suspension arm 11. One end of the first fixing block 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the second fixing block 22 through the rotating member 23. The other end of the first fixing block 21 is locked and fixed to the other end of the second fixing block 22 through the locking member 24. The first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22 together form an accommodating space 25 for placing the side pedal of the vehicle.
[0038] In this embodiment, the first fixing block 21 is fixedly connected to the suspension arm 11. One end of the first fixing block 21 and one end of the second fixing block 22 are rotatably connected through the rotating member 23. The first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22 enclose and form an accommodating space 25 for placing the vehicle's side pedal. That is, the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22 can be opened. When it is necessary to fix the pedal body 1 to the vehicle's side pedal, the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22 are opened first, the vehicle's pedal is placed in the accommodating space 25, and then the other end of the first fixing block 21 and the other end of the second fixing block 22 are locked and fixed by the locking member 24, so as to fix the pedal body 1 to the vehicle's side pedal.
[0039] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the rotating component 23 includes a rotating shaft 231 and a rotating hole 232. The rotating shaft 231 is provided at one end of the first fixing block 21 away from the locking component 24, and the rotating hole 232 is provided at one end of the second fixing block 22 away from the locking component 24. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 232.
[0040] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 231 is provided at the end of the first fixing block 21 away from the locking member 24, and a rotating hole 232 is provided at the end of the second fixing block 22 away from the locking member 24. The rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 232, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22, so as to facilitate fixing the pedal body 1 to the side pedal of the vehicle.
[0041] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the locking member 24 includes a fastening bolt 241 and a fastening nut 242. The first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22 are each provided with a fastening hole 243 at the end away from the rotating member 23. The fastening nut 242 is sequentially inserted into the fastening holes 243 of the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22. The fastening bolt 241 is threaded onto the fastening nut 242.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22 are both provided with fastening holes 243 at the ends away from the rotating part 23. The fastening nut 242 is sequentially inserted into the fastening holes 243 of the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22 and then threadedly connected to the fastening nut 242, thereby realizing the locking and fixing between the first fixing block 21 and the second fixing block 22, and thus fixing the pedal body 1 to the side pedal of the vehicle.
[0043] Example 2:
[0044] This embodiment provides a vehicle including a side step and an external pedal as described in Embodiment 1, wherein the external pedal is mounted on the side step.
[0045] In this embodiment, the vehicle uses an external pedal as described in Embodiment 1. The external pedal is installed on the side pedal, and the pedal body 1 is fixed to the bottom of the side pedal of the vehicle. This reduces the height of the pedal body 1 from the ground, and the pedal body 1 extends to the side of the side pedal away from the vehicle, which greatly facilitates the user getting on and off the vehicle.
[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this technical solution, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
