Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easy to understand, the pedal adjustment mechanism and vehicle of this utility model will be specifically described below in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0020] <Example> This embodiment proposes a vehicle, such as a sightseeing vehicle or a golf shuttle bus, including a vehicle body and a pedal adjustment mechanism. The pedal adjustment mechanism is installed on a frame 60 on the side of the vehicle body for passengers to step on when getting on and off the vehicle. Generally, it is installed on both sides, but it can also be installed on one side. The pedal adjustment mechanism includes a mounting part 10, a pedal 20, and an adjustment component. The mounting part 10 is installed on the frame 60 of the vehicle body; the pedal 20 is rotatably mounted on the mounting part 10, so that the pedal 20 is mounted on the frame 60 through the mounting part 10. A support frame 50 is also provided on the frame 60 above the pedal 20.
[0021] Since the pedal 20 is rotatably mounted to the mounting part 10, the pedal 20 has a folded state and an unfolded state relative to the mounting part 10. In the folded state, the pedal 20 is in a nearly vertical state; in the unfolded state, the pedal 20 is in a nearly horizontal state (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown in the diagram), the pedal 20 can be stepped on. This rotating mounting method reduces the lateral width of the vehicle body during transport, facilitating transportation and lowering costs.
[0022] The adjustment component is used to switch the pedal 20 between the aforementioned folded and unfolded states. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2As shown, the adjustment assembly has a connecting part 30, an adjustment hole 41, an adjustment member 42, and a locking member 43. The connecting part 30 is disposed on the pedal 20 for installation with the mounting part 10. The adjustment hole 41 is provided on one of the connecting part 30 and the mounting part 10 (in this embodiment, the adjusting hole 41 is provided on the connecting part 30). Correspondingly, the adjustment member 42 is disposed on the other of the connecting part 30 and the mounting part 10 (in this embodiment, the adjustment member 42 is disposed on the mounting part 10). The locking member 43 is installed on one end of the adjustment member 42 to lock and fix the adjustment member 42 so that the pedal 20 can be stably maintained in the folded or unfolded state.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment hole 41 is an arc-shaped hole, the adjustment component 42 is a screw (or a bolt or other threaded component), and the locking component 43 is a locking nut; one of the connecting part 30 and the mounting part 10 has an arc-shaped hole, and the other has a through hole 11 for the adjustment component 42 to pass through. One end of the screw passes through the arc-shaped hole and the through hole in sequence and is then connected and fixed to the locking nut.
[0024] Specifically, the connecting part 30 is a U-shaped connector with a pair of oppositely arranged connecting plates 31, each with an arc-shaped hole. The mounting part 10 has a U-shaped mounting end 13 near the connecting part 30 and a pair of oppositely arranged mounting plates 14, each with a through hole 11. The pair of connecting plates 31 are stacked on the inner or outer side of the pair of mounting plates 14. Each through hole 11 corresponds to each arc-shaped hole, and a locking nut is welded to the side of each through hole 11 facing away from the arc-shaped hole. The threaded section of the screw passes through the arc-shaped hole and the through hole in sequence before being inserted into the locking nut for locking. During the rotation of the connecting part 30, the arc-shaped hole rotates along the screw, and the two ends of the arc-shaped hole form the two extreme values of the pedal rotation angle.
[0025] The mounting part 10 also has a U-shaped fixing end 15. The U-shaped fixing end 14 is located at the end of the mounting part 10 away from the connecting part 30 and is used to fix it to the vehicle body by screws or bolts. In the vertical direction, the position of the U-shaped fixing end 15 is higher than the position of the U-shaped mounting end 13, and in the horizontal direction, the U-shaped mounting end 13 protrudes from the U-shaped fixing end 15, so that the pedal can extend beyond the vehicle body for easy stepping.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a branch pipe 21 is formed on the side of the pedal 20 facing the mounting part 10. The branch pipe 21 has an arc-shaped surface 211. The connecting part 30 is welded to the arc-shaped surface 211. An arc-shaped groove 12 that matches the arc-shaped surface 211 is formed on the side of the mounting part 10 facing the pedal 20. The pedal 20 can rotate along the arc-shaped groove 12, and the rotation of the pedal 20 is guided.
[0027] The branch pipe 21 is a straight pipe, and the pedal 20 also has a C-shaped pipe 22 welded to the straight pipe. The C-shaped pipe 22 and the straight pipe form a footrest plate 23, and the footrest plate 23 has anti-slip texture 24. Generally, the number of footrest plates (i.e., footrest areas) formed between the C-shaped pipe 22 and the straight pipe is equal to the number of rows of seats. That is, if the vehicle body has N rows of seats, there are N C-shaped pipes 22. The N C-shaped pipes 22 and the straight pipe form N footrest plates 23. Each footrest plate 23 corresponds to the aisle between two adjacent rows of seats. There is an empty area 25 between two adjacent C-shaped pipes 22. The hollow and integrated design in the middle increases the strength and facilitates adjustment compared to the separate design. Compared to the design without hollow in the middle, it can also reduce material and weight.
[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate specific implementations of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the scope of the above embodiments.
