Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle body technology, and in particular to a spare tire mounting structure and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, spare tire brackets are typically an important component of vehicles, primarily used to secure and support the spare tire. However, traditional spare tire bracket designs often lack flexibility and additional functions, resulting in limited functionality and poor usability, failing to meet the diverse needs of users. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application aims to propose a spare tire mounting structure to improve its functionality and meet the diverse needs of users.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: A spare tire mounting structure includes a mounting seat on a vehicle body, a mounting portion and a mounting component on the mounting seat, and a locking portion between the mounting seat and the mounting component; The mounting part is capable of mounting the spare tire on the mounting base, and a clearance space is formed between the mounting base and the spare tire; The mounting component is capable of mounting a flagpole, and the mounting component can be switched from a retracted state located within the clearance space to a usable state located at least partially outside the clearance space. The locking part is used to lock the mounting component in the usable state or the retracted state.

[0005] Furthermore, the mounting component is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, and an elastic portion is provided between the mounting component and the mounting base; Under the action of the elastic part, the mounting member can be maintained in the used state or the stored state.

[0006] Furthermore, in the retracted state, the mounting component is placed horizontally on the mounting base; In the usage state, the mounting component is placed longitudinally on the mounting base.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting component includes a cylindrical body for inserting the flagpole, and a shaft disposed on the cylindrical body, the shaft being rotatably disposed in the shaft hole of the mounting base; The locking part is located between the shaft and the mounting base, and the elastic part includes a spring sleeved on the shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking part includes a locking block disposed in the shaft hole, a first locking groove and a second locking groove disposed at intervals on the shaft body, and a communicating groove connecting the first locking groove and the second locking groove; In the stored state, the locking block is located in the first locking groove; in the used state, the locking block is located in the second locking groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting portion includes a mounting post disposed on the mounting base, the mounting post protruding away from the vehicle body and capable of being screwed to the spare tire; The mounting post is provided with a limiting surface, which is used to restrict the spare tire from moving to one side of the vehicle body to form the clearance space.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a foot pedal for the user to step on, and the foot pedal is located outside the clearance space.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting member is disposed adjacent to the foot pedal, and in the usage state, the mounting member protrudes upward toward the foot pedal and can be gripped by the user.

[0012] Furthermore, the foot pedal includes a foot block disposed on the mounting base, the foot block protruding to the side away from the vehicle body.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages: (1) The spare tire mounting structure described in this application provides a mounting part for mounting a spare tire and a mounting component for mounting a flagpole on the mounting base. This not only enables the spare tire mounting structure to meet the basic function of spare tire mounting, but also enables the mounting of a flagpole, thus having an extended function. This makes the spare tire mounting structure more functional and better able to meet the diverse needs of the application.

[0014] Furthermore, by allowing the mounting component to switch from a retracted state within the clearance space to a usable state at least partially outside the clearance space, it can be switched to the usable state when a flagpole needs to be installed. When the flagpole is not needed, the mounting component can be switched to the retracted state, effectively preventing its exposure and contributing to the overall refined appearance of the vehicle.

[0015] (2) By rotating the mounting component onto the mounting base and providing an elastic part between them, the user only needs to apply a small force to push the mounting component to rotate, without the need for additional manual fixing. Conversely, when switching states, the user only needs to overcome the initial constraint force of the elastic part to push the mounting component to rotate, which is simple to operate and improves the user experience.

[0016] (3) In the stowed state, the mounting component is placed horizontally on the mounting base, while in the use state, the mounting component is placed vertically on the mounting base. Thus, in the use state, the mounting component can extend along the height of the vehicle, which helps to ensure the flagpole is properly inserted. In the stowed state, it can be easily covered by the spare tire, thus better concealing the mounting component.

[0017] (4) By making the mounting component include a cylinder and a shaft, the internal space of the cylinder can be used as an insertion channel for the flagpole, allowing the flagpole to be directly inserted and fixed, which facilitates the installation of the flagpole. Furthermore, by making the elastic part specifically a spring sleeved on the shaft, the elasticity of the spring can be used to keep the mounting component in the working or stored state. Moreover, the spring has a simple structure, wide application, and is easy to obtain, making it convenient for design and implementation.

[0018] (5) The locking part includes a locking block, a first locking groove and a second locking groove spaced apart on the shaft, and a connecting groove connecting the two grooves. Thus, the locking block can restrict the rotation of the shaft by rigidly fitting the groove wall with the locking block, effectively preventing the installation part from being affected by vibration and displacement, thereby improving the stability of the installation part in both its use and storage states. Furthermore, when the user needs to switch the state of the installation part, there is no need to disassemble the locking block; simply push the installation part and rotate the shaft, reducing the user's operational difficulty and improving ease of use.

[0019] (6) By including a mounting post protruding away from the vehicle body, the mounting part can not only create clearance space between the spare tire and the vehicle body, but also facilitate the installation of the spare tire. By setting a limiting surface, it can be made to abut against the spare tire to prevent the spare tire from moving to the tailgate side after installation, thereby maintaining the stability of the clearance space and effectively preventing the spare tire from compressing the clearance space.

[0020] (7) By further setting a footrest on the mounting base, a stable boarding support point can be provided directly for the user. The user does not need to use any additional tools. He / She can easily board the rear of the vehicle or the area near the roof by simply stepping on this part, which can significantly improve the ease of use.

[0021] (8) By making the mounting part protrude upwards from the foot pedal and provide a grip for the user, the user can grip the mounting part above when stepping on the pedal, which can effectively prevent falls and improve operational safety. In addition, there is no need to add an additional independent gripping component, but the mounting part can be used directly as a gripping carrier, so that the mounting part can be used to fix the flagpole and also has a gripping function, which can further improve the functionality of the mounting part.

[0022] (9) The foot pedal adopts this structure, which is easy to process and manufacture, and has good practicality.

[0023] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle having a spare tire mounting structure as described above.

[0024] The vehicle described in this application, by setting the spare tire mounting structure as described above, can not only install a spare tire, but also facilitate users to insert a flagpole as needed, thus meeting diverse user needs and improving the user experience.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in light of the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0032] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0033] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a spare tire mounting structure to improve its functionality.

[0034] In related technologies, spare tire brackets are typically an important component of vehicles, primarily used to secure and support the spare tire. However, traditional spare tire bracket designs often lack flexibility and additional functions, failing to meet diverse user needs. For example, when a vehicle is used for outdoor activities or long-distance travel, users may need to install a flagpole or other auxiliary equipment at the rear of the vehicle. Traditional spare tire bracket designs cannot provide this extended functionality, resulting in a single-function spare tire bracket with limited usability.

[0035] Furthermore, while some current models feature mounting brackets for flagpoles, these brackets are typically fixed to the vehicle body. When the flagpoles are not needed, the brackets remain exposed on the exterior of the vehicle, resulting in a less refined overall appearance.

[0036] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the spare tire mounting structure of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the overall design includes a mounting seat 5 on the vehicle body, a mounting part and a mounting component 2 on the mounting seat 5, and a locking part between the mounting seat 5 and the mounting component 2.

[0037] The mounting section can install the spare tire 4 on the mounting base 5, and a clearance space is formed between the mounting base 5 and the spare tire 4. The mounting part 2 can install the flagpole, and the mounting part 2 can switch from a stored state located within the clearance space to a used state located at least partially outside the clearance space. The locking part is used to lock the mounting part 2 in the used state or the stored state.

[0038] Therefore, by providing a mounting part for mounting the spare tire 4 and a mounting component 2 for mounting the flagpole on the mounting base 5, this spare tire mounting structure not only fulfills the basic function of mounting the spare tire 4, but also allows for the mounting of the flagpole, thus providing an extended function. This makes the spare tire mounting structure more functional and better suited to meet diverse application needs.

[0039] Furthermore, by allowing the mounting component 2 to switch from a retracted state within the clearance space to a usable state at least partially outside the clearance space, it can be switched to the usable state when a flagpole needs to be installed. When the flagpole is not needed, the mounting component 2 can be switched to the retracted state, effectively preventing it from being exposed and contributing to the overall refined appearance of the vehicle.

[0040] Based on the above overview, specifically, the spare tire mounting structure of this embodiment can be installed on the rear tailgate 1 of the vehicle. In this case, the mounting base 5 can be directly constructed using the structure of the rear tailgate 1 itself, without the need for additional independent components. Of course, the mounting base 5 can also be adapted to different installation requirements by adding additional components to the original structure of the rear tailgate 1.

[0041] It should be noted that, in addition to being located on the tailgate 1, the spare tire mounting structure in this embodiment can also be flexibly adjusted and placed in other suitable locations on the vehicle body according to the design requirements of the vehicle or the personalized needs of the user.

[0042] Continue to combine Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the mounting base 5 of this embodiment is bolted to the rear door 1 to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the mounting base 5. Furthermore, as a specific embodiment, the mounting base 5 is bolted to the rear door 1 using four rectangular bolts. Moreover, to improve the installation strength of the mounting base 5, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a reinforcing plate 6 is welded to the inside of the rear door 1, corresponding to the bolts, and a nut 7 is welded to each reinforcing plate 6.

[0043] It should be noted that the arrangement and number of bolts are not limited to those shown in the figure and can be adjusted according to design requirements. In addition, the mounting bracket 5 can be fixed to the tailgate 1 by welding or other means, in addition to being screwed onto it.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to install the spare tire 4, in some exemplary embodiments, the mounting part includes a mounting post 8 provided on the mounting base 5. The mounting post 8 protrudes away from the vehicle body and can be screwed to the spare tire 4. The mounting post 8 is provided with a limiting surface 801, which restricts the movement of the spare tire 4 towards the vehicle body to create clearance space. Here, by including a mounting post 8 protruding away from the vehicle body in the mounting part, not only is clearance space created between the spare tire 4 and the vehicle body (i.e., the tailgate 1), but the installation of the spare tire 4 is also facilitated.

[0045] By setting the limiting surface 801, it can abut against the spare tire 4, preventing the spare tire 4 from moving towards the rear door 1 after installation. This maintains the stability of the clearance space and effectively prevents the spare tire 4 from pressing against the mounting part 2, thus facilitating the switching of the mounting part 2 between its use and storage states. In addition, the setting of the limiting surface 801 eliminates the need for an additional limiting platform on the mounting base 5 to abut against the spare tire 4, reducing the number of parts and simplifying manufacturing.

[0046] In specific implementation, it can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, three mounting posts 8 are arranged in a triangular pattern on the mounting base 5, and the three mounting bases 5 are welded to the mounting base 5. Furthermore, the free ends of the mounting posts 8 are threaded to allow the spare tire 4 to be screwed onto the mounting posts 8 using nuts 7. Thus, the good stability of the triangle is utilized to improve the installation firmness of the spare tire 4.

[0047] In addition, to further improve the installation strength of spare tire 4, such as Figure 6 As shown, a protrusion is formed in the middle of the mounting base 5, protruding away from the rear tailgate 1, and three mounting posts 8 are all located on this protrusion. By setting the protrusion, not only can the structural strength of the mounting base 5 itself be improved, effectively preventing it from being deformed by vibration, but it can also further improve the installation firmness of the spare tire 4.

[0048] Still refer to Figure 6 As shown, the mounting post 8 specifically includes a first post connected to the mounting base 5, and a second post located at one end of the first post, with the diameter of the first post being larger than that of the second post. This design ensures that the first post has good structural strength, guaranteeing the installation strength of the mounting post 8 on the mounting base 5 and the support strength for the spare tire 4. In this embodiment, the limiting surface 801 is specifically a conical surface located at the end of the second post.

[0049] Of course, in actual implementation, the number of mounting posts 8 is not limited to that shown in the figure, and can be adjusted accordingly according to design requirements. In addition to setting the limiting surface 801 on the mounting posts 8, additional limiting protrusions or other structures that abut against the spare tire 4 can also be set on the mounting base 5.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting member 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 5, and an elastic portion is provided between the mounting member 2 and the mounting base 5. Furthermore, under the action of the elastic portion, the mounting member 2 can be held in either a usable or stored state. This configuration allows the mounting member 2 to be quickly adjusted to a usable state by rotation when needed, and to be rotated into a stored state when not in use, effectively preventing the mounting member 2 from being exposed and occupying space or from being damaged by impacts.

[0051] Moreover, users only need to apply a small force to rotate the mounting part 2, without the need for additional manual fixing. Conversely, when switching states, users only need to overcome the initial constraint force of the elastic part to rotate the mounting part 2, which is simple to operate and improves the user experience.

[0052] In this embodiment, during specific implementation, as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting component 2 is located on one side of the mounting base 5, and in the use state, part of the mounting component 2 is located outside the clearance space. Therefore, on the one hand, since the mounting component 2 does not occupy the operating area required for the removal and installation of the spare tire 4, it can effectively avoid interfering with the process of taking and placing the spare tire 4, and can effectively ensure that the position of the mounting component 2 does not need to be adjusted when removing and installing the spare tire 4, thus improving operating efficiency.

[0053] On the other hand, when the mounting part 2 is switched to the storage state, the part exposed outside the clearance space only needs to be rotated and folded into the clearance space to complete the storage. This simplifies the storage process, avoids the space occupation caused by the exposed mounting part 2, and also enhances the vehicle's sense of refinement.

[0054] It should be noted that, besides rotating the mounting component 2 onto the mounting base 5 to switch between its use and storage states, the mounting component 2 can also be screwed onto the mounting base 5 using a fixing block arranged radially thereon. In this case, multiple screw points need to be provided on the mounting base 5 for screwing onto the fixing block. Of course, the mounting component 2 can also be mounted onto the mounting base 5 in other ways, as long as it allows the switching between the use and storage states to be achieved.

[0055] In some of the exemplary implementations, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in the stowed state, mounting component 2 is placed horizontally on mounting base 5, while in the usage state, mounting component 2 is placed vertically on mounting base 5. This design allows mounting component 2 to extend along the overall vehicle height when in use, helping to ensure the flagpole is properly inserted. In the stowed state, placing mounting component 2 horizontally on mounting base 5 makes it easily concealed by the spare tire 4, thus better hiding mounting component 2 and contributing to the overall refined appearance of the vehicle.

[0056] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, mounting component 2 is located at one end of the clearance space. In the usage state, the lower part of mounting component 2 is inside the clearance space, while the upper part is outside. This not only allows for the insertion of the flagpole but also effectively conceals mounting component 2, enhancing the overall refinement of the vehicle. In the stowed state, mounting component 2 is placed horizontally in the middle of the spare tire 4, taking advantage of the maximum width of the middle section of the spare tire 4 to fully conceal mounting component 2, thus maintaining the overall refinement of the vehicle.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting member 2 includes a cylindrical body 201 for inserting a flagpole, and a shaft 202 disposed on the cylindrical body 201, the shaft 202 being rotatably disposed in the shaft hole of the mounting base 5. A locking part is disposed between the shaft 202 and the mounting base 5, and an elastic part includes a spring 9 sleeved on the shaft 202.

[0058] Here, by making the mounting component 2 include a cylinder 201 and a shaft 202, the internal space of the cylinder 201 can be used as an insertion channel for the flagpole, allowing the flagpole to be directly inserted and fixed, which facilitates the installation of the flagpole. The shaft 202 can rotate around the axis of the shaft hole, thereby driving the cylinder 201 (and the inserted flagpole) to rotate synchronously, enabling the mounting component 2 to switch between horizontal storage and vertical use.

[0059] Furthermore, by specifically employing a spring 9 sleeved on the shaft 202 for the elastic part, and with both ends of the spring 9 abutting against the shaft 202 and the mounting base 5 respectively, the elastic effect of the spring 9 can not only keep the mounting part 2 in the working or stored state, but also, the spring 9 has a simple structure, wide application, and is easy to obtain, thus facilitating design and implementation.

[0060] In specific implementation, combined with Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the mounting base 5 in this embodiment includes a first base 501 and a second base 502, which are separately configured. The mounting post 8 is specifically disposed on the first base 501, while the mounting member 2 is rotatably disposed on the second base 502. Furthermore, as a specific embodiment, the first base 501 and the second base 502 are screwed together, which not only facilitates manufacturing but also reduces processing costs. Moreover, it allows the first base 501 and the second base 502 to be manufactured using different materials and processes, enabling them to perform different functions and facilitating overall lightweight design.

[0061] Among them, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the second seat 502 in this embodiment is generally parallelogram-shaped, and the mounting member 2 is provided on the side of the second seat 502 close to the first seat 501 so that the mounting member 2 can be stored in the clearance space.

[0062] It should be noted that the shape of the second base 502 is not limited to that shown in the figure, and can be adjusted according to design requirements. In addition to screwing the second base 502 to the first base 501, they can also be welded together or integrally formed. Furthermore, it is understood that the cylindrical body 201 of the mounting component 2 can not only accommodate flagpoles but also other decorative parts as needed. Further mounting structures can be added to the mounting component 2 as required to install other components.

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, the locking part includes a locking block 50231 disposed in the shaft hole, a first locking groove 2021 and a second locking groove 2023 spaced apart on the shaft body 202, and a communicating groove 2022 connecting the first locking groove 2021 and the second locking groove 2023. Furthermore, in the stored state, the locking block 50231 is located in the first locking groove 2021, and in the used state, the locking block 50231 is located in the second locking groove 2023.

[0064] With this configuration, when the mounting component 2 is rotated to the horizontal storage position, the locking block 50231 engages with the first locking groove 2021. The rigid fit between the groove wall and the locking block 50231 restricts the rotation of the shaft 202, effectively preventing the mounting component 2 from accidentally lifting due to bumps during vehicle operation. When switched to the vertical use position, the locking block 50231 slides into the second locking groove 2023, forming a stable engagement. This helps ensure the posture of the cylinder 201 (and the flagpole) is not affected by vibration and displacement, thus improving the stability of the mounting component 2 in both the use and storage states.

[0065] Furthermore, the connecting groove 2022 provides a continuous transition channel for the locking block 50231 to switch between the first and second locking grooves 2023. When the user needs to switch the state of the mounting component 2, there is no need to disassemble the locking block 50231. Simply push the mounting component 2 and rotate the shaft 202, and the locking block 50231 will automatically slide along the connecting groove 2022, sliding between the first locking groove 2021 and the second locking groove 2023. This design reduces the difficulty of operation for the user, allowing state adjustments to be completed without the need for professional tools, thus improving ease of use.

[0066] Furthermore, by adopting the above-described structure for the locking part, it does not occupy the surrounding space of the mounting base 5, thus not affecting the installation and removal of the spare tire 4 or the layout of other parts of the vehicle body, and thus has good practicality.

[0067] Combination Figures 11 to 13As shown in the illustration, in a specific embodiment, the second seat 502 of the mounting base 5 includes a seat body 5021, and mounting plates 5022 and locking plates 5023 screwed to two opposite sides of the seat body 5021. The aforementioned shaft holes are provided through the seat body 5021, mounting plates 5022, and locking plates 5023. Additionally, as... Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, a recessed groove 50221 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 5022 opposite to the base body 5021, which is circumferentially arranged along the shaft hole. One end of the spring 9 is located in the recessed groove 50221 to improve the stability of the spring 9 and thus effectively prevent the spring 9 from shaking or shifting, which could cause jamming when the mounting part 2 switches states.

[0068] like Figure 16 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking block 50231 is specifically disposed on the locking plate 5023 and protrudes into the locking hole. Furthermore, as a specific implementation, the locking block 50231 is generally rectangular, and the two opposite sides of the locking block 50231 can abut against the two side walls of the first locking groove 2021 and the two side walls of the second locking groove 2023, thereby effectively preventing the mounting member 2 from rotating and stably keeping the mounting member 2 in the use state or the storage state.

[0069] And combined Figures 17 to 19 As shown, the bottom end of the cylinder 201 in this embodiment is provided with a protrusion, which blocks its internal channel. Furthermore, the side of the protrusion where the shaft 202 is located is constructed as a plane to facilitate the installation of the shaft 202 and the spring 9. Additionally, to improve the stability of the spring 9, as... Figure 18 As shown, a groove is formed in the protrusion, and the spring 9 is specifically sleeved on the shaft 202, with the other end of the spring 9 located in the groove.

[0070] Furthermore, as a specific implementation method, such as Figure 19 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the shaft 202 is inserted into the groove and fixed to the protrusion of the cylinder 201 by a fixing pin 203. The fixing pin 203 is inserted into the cylinder 201 and the shaft 202 radially to achieve the fixing of the shaft 202 on the cylinder 201.

[0071] It should be noted that, in addition to fixing the shaft 202 to the cylinder 201 by the fixing pin 203, the shaft 202 can also be screwed or welded to the cylinder 201.

[0072] Still refer to Figure 19As shown in the illustration, in one specific embodiment, the shaft 202 includes a first part and a second part, with the diameter of the second part being larger than that of the first part. The first part is inserted into the groove of the protrusion, while the first locking groove 2021, the second locking groove 2023, and the connecting groove 2022 are provided on the second part. This design utilizes the smaller diameter of the first part to reduce its space occupation, thereby allowing the cylinder 201 to have a smaller diameter for easier storage. Simultaneously, the larger diameter of the second part reduces the impact of the first locking groove 2021, the second locking groove 2023, and the connecting groove 2022 on its strength.

[0073] In addition, such as Figure 19 As shown in the figure, as a specific embodiment, the first locking groove 2021, the second locking groove 2023 and the connecting groove 2022 are approximately U-shaped, and the central angle between the first locking groove 2021 and the second locking groove 2023 is 90°.

[0074] It is worth noting that, in addition to providing the first locking groove 2021 and the second locking groove 2023 on the shaft 202, a third locking groove, a fourth locking groove, etc., can also be provided circumferentially along the shaft 202. This allows the mounting component 2 to have both a usable and a stored state, and also enables it to be in other states through the cooperation of the locking block 50231 with other locking grooves. Furthermore, the central angle between the first locking groove 2021 and the second locking groove 2023 can be set to 90°, or other angles depending on design requirements.

[0075] In this embodiment, in some exemplary implementations, the mounting base 5 is provided with a footrest for the user to step on, and the footrest is located outside the clearance space. In this embodiment, by further providing a footrest on the mounting base 5, a stable boarding support point can be directly provided for the user. The user can easily board the rear of the vehicle or near the roof area simply by stepping on this part without the need for additional tools, which can significantly improve the convenience of use.

[0076] Moreover, the footrest design solves the problem that the traditional spare tire mounting structure can only be used for the single function of installing the spare tire 4. It can also meet the needs of users in multiple scenarios such as getting into the vehicle, effectively expanding the functionality of the structure and further adapting to the diverse usage needs of different users.

[0077] In this embodiment, as a specific example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the foot pedal is specifically mounted on the second seat 502 of the mounting base 5. To ensure the structural strength of the foot pedal, the foot pedal and the second seat 502 can be integrally cast to better withstand the force applied during stepping, thereby effectively improving the safety of the foot pedal. Of course, in addition to integrally casting the foot pedal and the second seat 502, other processing techniques can also be used.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting member 2 is disposed adjacent to the foot pedal and, in use, protrudes upward from the foot pedal, providing a grip for the user. This arrangement allows the mounting member 2 to provide a hand support point that matches the foot pedal position during use. Therefore, when the user steps on the pedal, their hands can grip the upper mounting member 2, effectively preventing falls and improving operational safety.

[0079] Furthermore, there is no need to add an additional independent gripping component; the mounting piece 2 can be directly used as the gripping carrier. This allows the mounting piece 2 to both fix the flagpole and provide a gripping function, further enhancing its versatility. Moreover, this design effectively avoids increased material costs and space occupation issues associated with additional components. It also facilitates placement, and when not needed, the mounting piece 2 can be folded into a stowage position, effectively maintaining the vehicle's aesthetic appeal. In specific implementation, it can be done as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the mounting part 2 is located on the side of the foot pedal near the mounting part, so that the mounting part 2 can be stored in the clearance space.

[0080] In some exemplary embodiments, the foot pedal includes a foot block 3 mounted on a mounting base 5, the foot block 3 protruding towards the side away from the vehicle body. This structure of the foot pedal facilitates manufacturing and provides good practicality. In specific implementations, it can be as follows... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the foot pedal 3 is designed as a rectangle to fit the foot. In addition, perforations are provided on the foot pedal 3 to prevent the accumulation of rainwater and dust from affecting the pedaling effect, and also to effectively prevent the presence of rainwater and dust from causing slippage and the risk of falling.

[0081] Furthermore, it should be noted that users typically use the rear bumper to enter the vehicle; therefore, in this embodiment, to maintain the overall refined appearance of the vehicle, only one foot pedal 3 is provided. Obviously, it can be understood that in practical implementation, in addition to one foot pedal 3, multiple foot pedals 3 can be arranged at intervals as needed.

[0082] It is worth noting that, regarding the spare tire mounting structure of this embodiment, based on the above exemplary implementations, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still [structured using...]. Figures 1 to 19As shown, it may include, for example, a mounting base 5 provided on the vehicle body, a mounting portion, a mounting member 2, and a foot pedal provided on the mounting base 5, and a locking portion provided between the mounting base 5 and the mounting member 2. The mounting portion can mount the spare tire 4 on the mounting base 5, and a clearance space is formed between the mounting base 5 and the spare tire 4. The mounting member 2 is provided adjacent to the foot pedal, and in the use state, the mounting member 2 protrudes upward toward the foot pedal and can be gripped by the user.

[0083] Mounting component 2 can be used to install a flagpole, and can be switched from a stored state located within the clearance space to a used state located partially outside the clearance space. The locking part is used to lock mounting component 2 in the used state or the stored state.

[0084] The mounting component 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 5. A spring 9 is provided between the mounting component 2 and the mounting base 5. Under the action of the spring 9, the mounting component 2 can be kept in the use state or the storage state.

[0085] The mounting component 2 includes a cylindrical body 201 for inserting the flagpole and a shaft 202 disposed on the cylindrical body 201. The locking part includes a locking block 50231 disposed in the shaft hole, a first locking groove 2021 and a second locking groove 2023 disposed at intervals on the shaft 202, and a communicating groove 2022 connecting the first locking groove 2021 and the second locking groove 2023.

[0086] In the preferred embodiment of the above spare tire mounting structure, the specific settings and arrangements of the mounting base 5, mounting component 2, foot pedal, etc. can still be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments. Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, the beneficial effects brought about by the design of the mounting base 5, mounting component 2, foot pedal, etc. can also be referred to the descriptions in the above exemplary embodiments.

[0087] In this embodiment, the spare mounting structure, through the above design, ensures that the mounting component 2 is in a retracted state by default. At this time, it is horizontally positioned against the surface of the mounting base 5, and the entire component is within the clearance space. In this state, the mounting component 2 does not occupy the core area for removing and installing the spare tire 4, does not interfere with the daily handling and securing of the spare tire 4, avoids damage from impacts caused by its own exposure, and does not affect the normal pedaling function, ensuring that maintenance and routine loading of the spare tire 4 are not disturbed.

[0088] When the mounting piece 2 is needed (e.g., for attaching a flagpole or using it for gripping onto a vehicle), the user does not need complicated tools; simply applying a small external force to push and rotate the mounting piece 2 switches its state. Specifically, when switching from the storage state to the use state, the mounting piece 2 is first pushed towards the mounting base 5. At this time, the elastic force of the spring 9 is overcome, allowing the shaft 202 to slide relative to the locking block 50231 along the first locking groove 2021, and the locking block 50231 to be located within the connecting groove 2022.

[0089] Then, when the mounting piece 2 is rotated to the vertical position, the locking block 50231 engages with the second locking groove 2023 (corresponding to the use state), and the elastic force of the spring 9 further presses the locking block 50231 into the groove, completing the state locking. At this time, the mounting piece 2 remains stably vertical, and part of the structure protrudes upwards from the foot pedal, allowing the user to grip it or insert other rod-like objects such as flagpoles.

[0090] When mounting component 2 is no longer needed, the user applies external force again to push it, causing it to rotate in the opposite direction around the axis of shaft 202. At this time, locking block 50231 slides back from the second locking groove 2023 to the first locking groove 2021 along the connecting groove 2022. The elastic force of spring 9 assists in completing the reset, and mounting component 2 switches back to its horizontal storage position, returning to the clearance space and restoring its initial state without occupying extra space. This operation is simple and convenient.

[0091] Therefore, the spare tire mounting structure of this embodiment, by adopting the above structure, not only solves the problems of traditional spare tire brackets lacking expansion functions and inconvenience in pedaling, but also improves the practicality and functionality of the spare tire bracket, allowing users to make personalized modifications as needed and meet diverse application requirements.

[0092] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle having the above-described spare tire mounting structure.

[0093] The vehicle in this embodiment, by setting the spare tire mounting structure as described above, can not only install the spare tire 4, but also facilitate users to insert a flagpole or board the vehicle as needed, thus meeting diverse user needs and improving the user experience.

[0094] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The technical features or structures in the foregoing different embodiments can be arbitrarily combined to form other specific technical solutions as needed. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this application.
