[0017] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a pedal according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the pedal according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a locking cover according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom surface of the pedal according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] A lightweight automotive pedal assembly includes: a base plate 1 and a top plate 2; the base plate 1 is fixed to the pedal mounting areas on both sides of the vehicle body through threaded holes 3 on both sides, the base plate 1 has a hollow area, the hollow area is recessed to form a recessed groove 4, the top plate 2 is installed on the upper part of the hollow area, and a locking cover 5 passes through the top plate 2 and engages with the hollow area of ​​the base plate 1 for locking; the opposite side walls of the recessed groove 4 of the base plate 1 are respectively provided with slots 6, and two limiting holes are provided on one side wall (not shown in the view due to obstruction of the perspective); the hollow area is composed of an annular ring 8 and support bars 9, the annular ring 8 is located at the center of the hollow area, and multiple support bars 9 are arranged around the annular ring 8; the two sides of the top plate 2 are respectively provided with two spaced locking blocks 10, the front side wall is provided with two positioning posts 11, the middle of the top plate 2 is provided with a locking hole 12, and the bottom surface of the locking cover 5 is provided with a limiting block 13 and multiple locking brackets 14.

[0020] The top plate 2 is inserted into the recessed groove 4 on one side of the bottom plate 1. The locking blocks 10 on both sides of the top plate 2 cooperate with the locking groove 6 of the bottom plate 1. The positioning pin 11 on the top plate 2 cooperates with the limiting hole of the bottom plate 1. The top surface of the bottom plate 1 is flush with the top surface of the top plate 2. The depth of the recessed groove 4 on the bottom plate 1 is equal to the thickness of the top plate 2.

[0021] The outer wall of the ring 8 is a conical surface 15, which makes it easy for the barb 16 of the snap bracket 14 on the locking cover 5 to slide along the conical surface to the bottom and engage with the bottom surface of the ring 8 for locking.

[0022] The hollow area consists of a ring 8 and six support bars 9. Two of the support bars 9 are in a cross shape, and the intersection divides the ring 8 into four holes 17. The other support bars 9 are distributed at intervals to connect the outer wall of the ring and the bottom plate.

[0023] The bottom surface of the locking cover 5 is provided with two limiting blocks 13 and four snap-fit ​​brackets 14. The two limiting blocks 13 are centrally symmetrical, and the four snap-fit ​​brackets 14 are distributed circumferentially around the center point. The tail end of the snap-fit ​​bracket 14 has a barb 16. The locking cover 5 passes through the locking hole 12 of the top plate 2. The two limiting blocks 13 on the locking cover 5 cooperate with the holes 17 in the annular ring 8. The snap-fit ​​brackets 14 on the locking cover 5 cooperate with the annular ring 8. The limiting edge 18 extending from the top edge of the locking cover 5 abuts against the stepped surface 19 at the top of the locking hole 12, thereby locking the top plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 to prevent the top plate 2 from shaking. To replace the worn top plate 2, simply disengage the barb 16 of the snap-fit ​​bracket 14 from the annular ring 8.

[0024] The base plate 1 is made of aluminum alloy, while the top plate 2 and locking cover 5 are made of plastic. The base plate 1 is the same size as the existing steel pedal. The hollow area and recessed groove 4 of the base plate 1 can reduce weight. The aluminum alloy material of the base plate 1 can further reduce weight without sacrificing load-bearing strength. The top plate 2 is installed in the recessed groove 4 of the base plate 1 to reduce weight and prevent slipping. The top surface of the top plate 2 is covered with drainage holes and anti-slip protrusions, which can improve the safety of climbing in rainy and snowy weather.

[0025] The pedal of this utility model is made of an aluminum alloy base plate 1 and a plastic top plate 2. The aluminum alloy base plate 1 can reduce weight and has load-bearing strength, while the plastic top plate 2 has anti-slip and wear-resistant properties and can be easily replaced, thus improving the practicality of the pedal.
