Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot pedal technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional foot pedal. Background Technology

[0002] Electric bicycles, as a convenient and environmentally friendly personal transportation tool, have become widely used in daily commutes and short-distance trips. Their core advantage lies in the fact that they can be driven by an electric motor for effortless riding, or switched to manual pedaling mode. In this mode, the pedals, as the key components for power transmission, directly affect the user experience and riding safety.

[0003] Currently, most electric bicycles use fixed-installation pedals, meaning the connection position between the pedals and the frame, the support angle of the pedals, and the extension length are all preset and fixed, making it impossible to adjust according to individual differences in riders. However, there are significant differences in height and leg length among riders: for taller users with longer legs, the fixed pedal position prevents their legs from extending naturally, requiring them to deliberately bend their knees to pedal, which can easily lead to leg muscle fatigue over time; for shorter users with shorter legs, they need to deliberately bring their legs together and stand on tiptoe to reach the pedals, which is not only inconvenient to operate but may also lead to slippage during riding due to unstable contact between the foot and the pedal, especially in complex road conditions or during emergency braking, which can affect riding stability and even cause safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a multifunctional foot pedal, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-functional foot pedal, including a limiting seat, on which a support component is provided; The support assembly includes a foot pedal disposed on one side of the limiting seat, and a deformation cavity is provided through the limiting seat, with two guide holes provided through the deformation cavity; Two limiting holes are formed through the foot pedal, and each limiting hole is on the same axial direction as the corresponding guide hole. An extension rod is provided in each of the two limiting holes.

[0006] Optionally, in a possible implementation, anti-slip posts are provided on both sides of the foot pedal, and one end of each anti-slip post extends to one side of the corresponding extension rod. Mounting rods are provided at both ends of the limiting seat, and several through holes are provided on each mounting rod. Several limiting grooves are provided on the outer sides of the two mounting rods, and the limiting grooves are arranged side by side. The anti-slip posts are threadedly connected to the foot pedal, and one end of the anti-slip posts extends to the outer side of the extension rod. A positioning bolt is threadedly connected to one side of the limiting seat, and one end of each positioning bolt passes through the deformation cavity and extends to the other side of the limiting seat. The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: By incorporating an axially movable extension rod between the limit seat and the pedal, and utilizing a coaxial guide structure with guide holes and limit holes, the pedal extension length can be flexibly adjusted. Riders can adjust the pedal to a comfortable position where their legs naturally extend without needing to bend or fold, by loosening the positioning bolt, pushing the pedal, and then tightening the bolt to lock it in place, according to their height and leg length. This significantly improves comfort during long rides, making it particularly suitable for families with multiple riders sharing a single electric bicycle, meeting the personalized needs of different users.

[0007] The threaded anti-slip posts on both sides of the foot pedal can be easily disassembled and replaced through the threaded structure. Their design, which extends to the outside of the extension rod, can not only prevent the foot from slipping, but also play an auxiliary limiting role in the extension rod, preventing excessive deviation of the extension rod during adjustment or use.

[0014] 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.

[0015] This embodiment discloses a multi-functional pedal, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art that the pedals of electric bicycles are fixed in position and lack position adjustability, causing riders of different heights to have to deliberately put their legs together to pedal, thus affecting the riding experience.

[0016] Specifically, the multi-functional pedal includes a limiting seat 1, which serves as the basic support component of the pedal, providing a stable mounting base for the overall structure. A support assembly is installed on the limiting seat 1. This support assembly is the core structure for realizing the pedal's pedaling and position adjustment functions. It includes a foot pedal 2 located on one side of the limiting seat 1. The foot pedal 2 is used for the driver to place their feet. To ensure stability when the driver pedals, anti-slip posts 7 are installed on both sides of the foot pedal 2. The anti-slip posts 7 are threadedly connected to the foot pedal 2. This connection method facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the anti-slip posts 7. Simultaneously, one end of the anti-slip post 7 extends to the outside of the extension rod 6 (mentioned later), which can provide some auxiliary limiting effect on the position of the extension rod 6, preventing excessive displacement of the extension rod 6 during use.

[0017] A deformation cavity 3 is formed through the limiting seat 1. The deformation cavity 3 allows the limiting seat 1 to deform to a certain extent, providing a certain space margin for subsequent structural adjustments. At the same time, two guide holes 4 are formed through the deformation cavity 3, which serve as guides and positions. Correspondingly, two limiting holes 5 are formed through the foot pedal 2, and the two limiting holes 5 are respectively aligned with the corresponding guide holes 4 on the same axis. This coaxial arrangement ensures that the subsequent adjustment structure can move smoothly. An extension rod 6 is provided in each of the two limiting holes 5. The extension rod 6 can move axially under the combined action of the limiting holes 5 and the guide holes 4, thereby adjusting the position of the foot pedal 2 relative to the limiting seat 1 to accommodate the needs of drivers of different heights.

[0018] To facilitate the installation and fixation of the pedals on the electric bicycle, mounting rods 8 are respectively provided at both ends of the limiting seat 1. The mounting rods 8 serve as connecting components, fitting into the corresponding structure of the electric bicycle. Each mounting rod 8 has several through holes 9, which can be used to insert bolts or other fasteners, further enhancing the connection stability between the mounting rod 8 and the electric bicycle. Furthermore, several limiting grooves 10 are provided on the outer sides of the two mounting rods 8, arranged side-by-side. These limiting grooves 10 can cooperate with the limiting structure on the electric bicycle to prevent the mounting rods 8 from rotating during use, ensuring the overall stability of the pedal structure.

[0019] Meanwhile, a positioning bolt 11 is threadedly connected to one side of the limiting seat 1, and one end of each positioning bolt 11 passes through the deformation cavity 3 and extends to the other side of the limiting seat 1. After the position of the foot pedal 2 is adjusted by the extension rod 6, the positioning bolt 11 can be tightened so that the positioning bolt 11 exerts a squeezing and fixing effect on the extension rod 6, thereby locking the position of the foot pedal 2 and preventing the foot pedal 2 from shifting position during riding.

[0020] The specific working principle is as follows: When riders of different heights use this multi-functional pedal, firstly, loosen the positioning bolt 11 on one side of the limiting seat 1. At this time, the squeezing and fixing effect of the positioning bolt 11 on the extension rod 6 disappears. Next, according to their own height needs, push the pedal 2, so that the pedal 2 drives the extension rod 6 to move axially within the limiting hole 5 and the guide hole 4. During this process, the guide hole 4 guides the movement of the extension rod 6, ensuring the accuracy of the movement direction. When the pedal 2 moves to a suitable position, that is, a position where the rider can comfortably step without deliberately bringing their legs together, stop pushing the pedal 2, and then tighten the positioning bolt 11, so that the positioning bolt 11 passes through the deformation cavity 3 and squeezes the extension rod 6, fixing the extension rod 6 in the current position, thereby locking the position of the pedal 2. During riding, the anti-slip posts 7 on both sides of the pedal 2 can prevent the feet from slipping. The through hole 9 and the limiting groove 10 on the mounting rod 8 together ensure the stability of the connection between the pedal and the electric bicycle, preventing the pedal from becoming loose or rotating, thus providing the rider with a comfortable and stable riding experience.

[0021] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
