Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle footrest technology, and in particular to a footrest locking mechanism that can effectively improve operational safety and convenience, and can prevent users from accidentally removing the key or misjudging the footrest locking status when the footrest is unlocked. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing vehicle locking support assemblies use a purely mechanical structure, requiring the user to manually turn the lock cylinder or insert and remove the key to lock and unlock. This design has several drawbacks: First, even when unlocked, the key can still be removed, causing the support column to mistakenly believe it is locked when it is not, increasing the risk of vehicle parts becoming loose or falling, potentially affecting driving safety; second, users need to pay extra attention to the position of the support column and the status of the lock cylinder during operation, making the process cumbersome, especially in low-light conditions or emergency situations, increasing the likelihood of errors.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional technologies lack automatic sensing and judgment mechanisms for the position or operation of the feet. Locking and unlocking the feet rely entirely on manual operation by the user, with no automatic detection of status or feedback of operation results. This not only increases operational complexity but may also lead to misjudgments of the locking status, further increasing maintenance and repair costs. In addition, existing structures typically require the combination of multiple mechanical components, increasing overall manufacturing costs and the probability of failure, thus limiting the reliability and ease of use of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle support leg assembly that can be easily locked, effectively improving operational convenience and safety, and preventing users from accidentally removing the key or misjudging the locking status of the support leg while it is unlocked. Simultaneously, this invention aims to simplify the operation process, addressing the problems caused by the complex structure, cumbersome operation, and lack of automatic judgment mechanism in existing technologies. This results in a more stable and reliable support leg during use, with a more streamlined overall structure and more intuitive operation, achieving a balance of safety, reliability, and convenience.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned main objectives, the present invention provides a vehicle support leg assembly that can be easily locked, comprising: a fixed base disposed on the vehicle and having a first pivot; a leg post having a second pivot pivotally connected to the first pivot and a locking groove; a first spring-loaded unit disposed between the fixed base and the leg post for positioning the leg post at a parking angle position; a second spring-loaded unit disposed between the fixed base and the leg post for resisting the leg post from moving from the parking angle position to the sensing angle position and returning it to the parking angle position; a first sensing unit disposed on the second spring-loaded unit and capable of vertical displacement; a second sensing unit disposed on the fixed base and sensing and transmitting a sensing signal to the first sensing unit when it rises; and a locking unit receiving the sensing signal and having a locking pin and a driving member, capable of cyclically actuating the locking pin to insert into or disengage from the locking groove of the leg post, thereby completing the locking and unlocking of the leg post.

[0006] Through the above structural design, the footrest can be stably positioned by the first spring-loaded unit when it is at the parking angle. The user only needs to lightly step on the footrest to move it to the sensing angle position with a short stroke. When the second spring-loaded unit is compressed, the first sensing unit will enter the sensing range of the second sensing unit and automatically transmit the sensing signal to the locking unit. The locking unit drives the latch to perform positioning insertion or disengagement operation, so that the footrest can be locked or unlocked without the need to insert or remove a key, thus improving the safety and convenience of operation.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing base has a through hole for the locking pin to pass through and move. With the through hole, the locking pin can smoothly extend into or retract from the locking groove of the foot post, making the locking and unlocking actions of the foot post smoother and improving the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0008] Preferably, the first spring-loaded unit has a first spring that abuts against the fixed base, and a stop block that abuts against the first spring and the foot post. The elastic force provided by the first spring ensures that the foot post automatically maintains its position at the parking angle, thereby increasing the safety and durability of the structure.

[0009] Preferably, the second spring-loaded unit has a connecting bolt, and the first sensing unit is disposed on the connecting bolt. The connecting bolt serves as a transmission and installation link, allowing the first sensing unit to move synchronously with the connecting bolt, ensuring accurate transmission of the sensing signal.

[0010] Preferably, the second spring-loaded unit has a second spring that abuts against the fixed base and the connecting bolt. The elastic action of the second spring resists the pushing force of the kickstand from the parking angle position to the sensing angle position, and automatically returns the kickstand to the parking angle position, simplifying the operation.

[0011] Preferably, the first sensing element of the first sensing unit is a sensing magnet, and the second sensing element of the second sensing unit is a Hall sensor. The sensing structure formed by the magnet and the Hall sensor enables non-contact detection and improves the sensing sensitivity and durability of the device.

[0012] Preferably, the locking unit further includes a third spring that pushes the locking pin towards the locking pin slot. The pushing force provided by the third spring ensures that the locking pin can be inserted into the locking pin slot in a timely and stable manner, thereby improving the reliability of the locking state.

[0013] Preferably, the parking post has a lower parking stop portion that abuts against the first spring-loaded unit. The lower parking stop portion, fixedly supported by the first spring-loaded unit, ensures the parking post remains stable and does not wobble when parked.

[0014] Preferably, the foot post has a sensing lower abutment portion that abuts against the second spring abutment unit. Through the cooperation of the sensing lower abutment portion and the second spring abutment unit, the start and end positioning of the sensing action can be provided during operation.

[0015] Preferably, the foot post has a retractable lower abutment that abuts against the first spring abutment unit. This retractable lower abutment ensures stable engagement with the first spring abutment unit when the foot post is retracted, preventing the foot post from loosening or sliding due to vibration after retraction.

[0065] The applicant hereby states that throughout this specification, including the embodiments described below and the claims, all directional terms are based on the directions shown in the drawings. Secondly, in the embodiments and drawings described below, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or structural features thereof.

[0066] Please see Figures 1 to 9 The present invention provides a vehicle-mounted easily lockable support leg assembly 1, which is installed in a vehicle. The vehicle-mounted easily lockable support leg assembly 1 includes a fixed base 10, a pivot member 20, a foot post 30, a first spring-loaded unit 40, a second spring-loaded unit 50, a first sensing unit 60, a second sensing unit 70, and a locking unit 80.

[0067] The mounting base 10 has a mounting part 11, a first pivot part 12, a first abutment part 13, a retractable upper stop part 14, a sensing upper stop part 15, a spring mounting hole 16, a guide hole 17, and a pin hole 18. The mounting part 11 is connected to the vehicle. The first pivot part 12 is used to pivot with the pivot member 20. The first abutment part 13 is used to abut with the first spring abutment unit 40. The sensing upper stop part 15 is used to abut with a part of the foot post 30. The retractable upper stop part 14 is used to abut with another part of the foot post 30. The spring mounting hole 16 can accommodate a part of the second spring abutment unit 50. The guide hole 17 is used for a part of the second spring abutment unit 50 to pass through. The pin hole 18 is used for a part of the locking unit 80 to pass through.

[0068] The pivot member 20 is inserted through the first pivot portion 12 of the fixed base 10 and is used to pivotally connect the fixed base 10 and the foot post 30.

[0069] The foot post 30 has a second pivot 31, a parking lower abutment 32, a retractable lower abutment 33, a retractable lower stop 34, a sensing lower abutment 35, a sensing lower stop 36, a locking groove 38, and a support 39. The second pivot 31 is pivotally connected to the pivot member 20. The parking lower abutment 32 abuts against the first abutment 13 of the fixed seat 10. The retractable lower abutment 33 abuts against the retractable upper stop 14 of the fixed seat 10. The retractable lower stop 34 stops the retractable upper stop 14. The sensing lower abutment 35 abuts against the sensing upper stop 15 of the fixed seat 10. The sensing lower stop 36 stops the sensing upper stop 15. The locking groove 38 is used for inserting and securing an element of the locking unit 80. The support 39 is used for kicking and supporting the foot on the ground.

[0070] The first spring-loaded unit 40 is located between the fixed base 10 and the foot post 30. The first spring-loaded unit 40 has a spring 41 and a top block 42. The spring 41 abuts against the first spring-loaded part 13 of the fixed base 10, and the top block 42 abuts against the parking lower stop part 32 or the retracted lower stop part 33 of the spring 41 and the foot post 30.

[0071] The second spring-loaded unit 50 elastically abuts against the fixed base 10 and the foot post 30. The second spring-loaded unit 50 has a connecting bolt 51, a second spring 52, and a sensing part 53. The connecting bolt 51 is provided in the guide hole 17 of the fixed base 10, the second spring 52 abuts between the spring mounting hole 16 of the fixed base 10 and the connecting bolt 51, and the sensing part 53 is connected to the other end of the connecting bolt 51.

[0072] The first sensing unit 60 is mounted on the second spring-loaded unit 50 and has a first sensing base 61 and a first sensing element 62. The first sensing base 61 is mounted on the sensing part 53, and the first sensing element 62 is mounted on the first sensing base 61 and can move with the second spring-loaded unit 50. In this embodiment, the first sensing element 62 is a magnet, but this utility model is not limited to that.

[0073] The second sensing unit 70 is mounted on the fixed base 10 and can sense the first sensing unit 60 to determine whether the second spring-loaded unit 50 is in a sensing position or a non-sensing position. The second sensing unit 70 has a second sensing base 71 and a second sensing element 72. The second sensing base 71 is mounted on the fixed base 10, and the second sensing element 72 senses the first sensing element 62. In this embodiment, the second sensing element 72 is a Hall sensor, but this utility model is not limited to this.

[0074] The locking unit 80 has a latch 81, a third spring 82, a drive member 83, and a circuit board 84. The latch 81 passes through the pin hole 18 of the fixed base 10. The drive member 83 is located on the fixed base 10 or the frame and drives the latch 81 to move, so as to insert into and disengage from the latch groove 38 of the foot post 30. The third spring 82 abuts against the latch 81 in the direction of the foot post 30. The circuit board 84 is connected to the second sensing unit 70 and controls the drive member 83 to move the latch 81.

[0075] The vehicle support foot assembly 1 provided by this utility model, which allows for easy locking, initially positions the foot post 30 at the parking angle required for normal parking. At this position, the spring 41 and top block 42 of the first spring-loaded unit 40 provide stable support, allowing the foot post 30 to naturally maintain an appropriate angle when parked, forming the reference point for the entire device's operation. When the rider wishes to lock the device, they simply need to lightly press down on the foot post 30, causing it to move a short distance from its original parking angle position to the sensing angle position. During this process, the second spring-loaded unit 50 is compressed, pushing its connecting bolt 51 and its sensing part 53, causing the first sensing unit 60 on the connecting bolt 51 to enter the sensing position corresponding to the second sensing unit 70 on the mounting base 10. Due to the restoring force of the second spring 52, the foot post 30 returns to its original parking angle position after a short press, but the second sensing unit 70 has already detected the change in sensing at this instant and transmits the detection signal to the circuit board 84 of the locking unit 80.

[0076] After receiving the sensing signal, the circuit board 84 controls the drive unit 83 to start, driving the locking pin 81 to advance along the through hole 18 of the fixing base 10, so that the locking pin 81 is inserted into the locking groove 38 of the foot post 30. The third spring 82 also provides a stable pushing force for the locking pin 81, so that the foot post 30 and the fixing base 10 form a solid locking state. In this case, locking does not require the user to insert or remove a key or operate other mechanisms, but is automatically completed by a light kicking action of the foot post 30.

[0077] When the user needs to unlock, the operation is the same as when locking. Simply push the footrest 30 from the parking angle position to the sensing angle position with your foot again. The second spring-loaded unit 50 will once again drive the first sensing unit 60 into the sensing range of the second sensing unit 70, so that the circuit board 84 can receive the change in sensing state again. At this time, the circuit board 84 will determine the signal as "unlocked" and drive the drive component 83 to move in the opposite direction, so that the locking pin 81 will disengage from the locking pin groove 38 of the footrest 30. After the locking pin 81 is completely disengaged, the footrest 30 will resume free rotation. The user can then lift the footrest 30 and rotate it to the retracted angle position. At this time, the retracted lower stop 33 of the footrest 30 will be firmly engaged with the corresponding retracted upper stop 14 of the fixed base 10, so that the footrest 30 remains retracted during driving and will not shake or interfere with other structures.

[0078] Through the aforementioned operational relationships, this utility model provides the basic positioning of the footrest 30 when parked via the first spring-loaded unit 40; the second spring-loaded unit 50 uses a short-stroke action to generate a change in the relative position of the first sensing unit 60 and the second sensing unit 70, allowing the circuit board 84 to recognize the stepping of the footrest 30; the locking unit 80 drives the latch 81 to insert into or disengage from the latch slot 38 of the footrest 30 under the sensing command. The overall mechanism allows the locking and unlocking of the footrest 30 to be triggered entirely by the movement of the footrest 30 itself, no longer relying on the insertion or removal of a key to determine the locking state. Therefore, it successfully avoids the shortcomings of existing technologies where the key can still be removed in the unlocked state, and prevents users from mistakenly believing that the footrest 30 is locked, causing the battery box or other components that need to be secured to fall off during riding. This utility model also uses an electronically controlled and sensing mechanism, making the overall operation more intuitive, the structure simpler, and the reliability higher, thereby effectively achieving the purpose of this utility model.
