The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0047] Unless otherwise specified, the front-to-back direction in this application is the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, that is, the X direction; the left-right direction is the lateral direction of the vehicle, that is, the Y direction; and the up-down direction is the vertical direction of the vehicle, that is, the Z direction.

[0048] A pedal device 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the pedal device 100 for a vehicle includes a mounting bracket 200 , a connecting arm 300 , and a pedal 400 .

[0050] The mounting bracket 200 is used to connect to the vehicle body. By connecting the mounting bracket 200 to the vehicle body, it supports the connecting arm 300 and ensures the stability of the connecting arm 300 and the pedal 400. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 200 cannot move in the lateral direction.

[0051] One of the connecting arm 300 and the mounting bracket 200 is provided with a plurality of first mounting positions distributed along the transverse direction, and the other of the connecting arm 300 and the mounting bracket 200 is installed at one of the plurality of first mounting positions; and / or, one of the pedal 400 and the connecting arm 300 is provided with a plurality of second mounting positions distributed along the transverse direction, and the other of the pedal 400 and the connecting arm 300 is installed at one of the plurality of second mounting positions.

[0052] In this embodiment, the relative installation position between the connecting arm 300 and the mounting bracket 200 can be changed to change the relative position of the connecting arm 300 and the mounting bracket 200 in the horizontal direction, thereby changing the position of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body; or, the relative installation position between the connecting arm 300 and the pedal 400 can be changed to change the relative position of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body; or, the relative installation position between the connecting arm 300 and the mounting bracket 200 and the relative installation position between the connecting arm 300 and the pedal 400 can be simultaneously changed to increase the adjustable travel of the pedal 400 in the horizontal direction. The setting method of multiple first installation positions can refer to the following two examples:

[0053] In a first example, a plurality of first mounting positions are provided on the mounting bracket 200 .

[0054] In this example, the mounting bracket 200 is provided with a plurality of first mounting positions arranged in a transverse direction, and the connecting arm 300 is mounted at one of the plurality of first mounting positions. By mounting the connecting arm 300 at different first mounting positions, the position of the connecting arm 300 relative to the vehicle body is changed, thereby changing the position of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body. It should be noted that this embodiment will be used as an example for further explanation in the subsequent embodiments.

[0055] In the second example, a plurality of first mounting positions are provided on the connecting arm 300 .

[0056] In this example, the connecting arm 300 is provided with a plurality of first mounting positions arranged along the transverse direction, and the mounting bracket 200 is installed at one of the plurality of first mounting positions. By coordinating different first mounting positions on the connecting arm 300 with the mounting bracket 200, the position of the connecting arm 300 relative to the vehicle body is changed, thereby changing the position of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body.

[0057] The following two examples can be used to set up multiple second installation locations:

[0058] In a third example, a plurality of second mounting positions are provided on the connecting arm 300 .

[0059] In this example, the connecting arm 300 is provided with a plurality of second mounting positions arranged along the transverse direction, and the pedal 400 is installed at one of the plurality of second mounting positions. By matching different second mounting positions on the connecting arm 300 with the pedal 400, the position of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body can be changed.

[0060] In a fourth example, a plurality of second mounting locations are provided on the pedal 400 .

[0061] In this example, the pedal 400 is provided with a plurality of second mounting positions arranged laterally, and the connecting arm 300 is installed at one of the plurality of second mounting positions. By coordinating different second mounting positions on the pedal 400 with the connecting arm 300, the position of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body can be changed.

[0062] It can be understood that in this technical solution, the first example or the second example can be selected; the third example or the fourth example can also be selected; or it can be a combination of one of the first and second examples and one of the third and fourth examples.

[0063] In actual implementation, since the mounting bracket 200 is fixed relative to the vehicle body in the lateral direction, the width of the interval between the pedal 400 and the adjacent pedals can be changed by changing the relative position of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle in the lateral direction.

[0064] According to the pedal device 100 of the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of installation positions distributed along the transverse direction are set to achieve the ability to adjust the relative positions of the mounting bracket 200 and the pedal 400 in the transverse direction, thereby changing the spacing between the pedal device 100 of the vehicle and the adjacent pedals to facilitate use by users of different body shapes.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, the pedal device 100 of the vehicle may further include a driving device 500 and a control device.

[0066] The driving device 500 may be connected to at least one of the connecting arm 300 and the pedal 400 by power coupling, and the driving device 500 may be used to drive at least one of the connecting arm 300 and the pedal 400 to move.

[0067] In one example, the drive device 500 can be power-coupled to the connecting arm 300 and drive the connecting arm 300 between the plurality of first mounting positions. The drive device 500 can drive the connecting arm 300 to move laterally, allowing the connecting arm 300 to move between the plurality of first mounting positions. The drive device 500 enables automatic adjustment of the position of the connecting arm 300, eliminating the need for manual adjustment by reaching underneath, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0068] In another example, the driving device 500 can be connected to the pedal 400 and drive the pedal 400 to move between multiple second installation positions. By driving the pedal 400 to move laterally relative to the connecting arm 300, the position of the pedal 400 can be automatically adjusted, saving manpower.

[0069] In another example, two driving devices 500 may be provided, and the two driving devices 500 are respectively connected to the connecting arm 300 and the pedal 400 to respectively drive the connecting arm 300 and the pedal 400 to move, thereby increasing the movable stroke of the pedal 400.

[0070] The control device may be electrically connected to the driving device 500 , and the control device may be used to control the operation of the driving device 500 according to the position signal of the pedal 400 .

[0071] In particular, when the driving device 500 is connected to the connecting arm 300, the position signal of the pedal 400 can indirectly reflect the position of the connecting arm 400, and the position of the connecting arm 300 can be matched with a plurality of first installation positions to achieve control of the position of the connecting arm 300. The control device can be electrically connected to the driving device 500, and the driving device 500 can be controlled by the control device to move the connecting arm 300 to the corresponding first installation position. When the driving device 500 is connected to the pedal 400, the position signal of the pedal 400 can correspond to a plurality of second installation positions, and the driving device 500 can be controlled by the control device to move the pedal 400 to the corresponding second installation position.

[0072] In actual implementation, the user can send a position signal instruction through the control device, and the driving device 500 drives the connecting arm 300 to move to the corresponding installation position after receiving the instruction.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present application, the control device may include a sensor, a controller, and a storage.

[0074] The sensor may be provided at one of the pedal 400 , the connecting arm 300 , and the mounting bracket 200 , and the sensor may be used to detect a position signal of the pedal 400 .

[0075] The position signal may be a position signal reflected by the position relationship of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body.

[0076] A sensor may be provided on the pedal 400 to detect the relative position of the pedal 400 and the connecting arm 300 to determine a position signal. Alternatively, a sensor may be provided on the connecting arm 300 to detect the relative position of the pedal 400 and the connecting arm 300, or to detect the relative position of the connecting arm 300 and the mounting bracket 200 to thereby determine a position signal of the pedal 400. Alternatively, a sensor may be provided on the mounting bracket 200 to detect the relative position of the connecting arm 300 and the mounting bracket 200 to thereby determine a position signal of the pedal 400.

[0077] It should be noted that two sensors can be provided, and the two sensors are used to detect the position of the pedal 400 relative to the connecting arm 300 and the position of the connecting arm 300 relative to the mounting bracket 200 respectively, and then determine the position signal of the pedal 400 relative to the vehicle body.

[0078] In this embodiment, the sensor is provided on the mounting bracket 200 as an example. The sensor can be a photoelectric sensor that can sense the displacement of the connecting arm 300 to determine the position of the connecting arm 300 and thereby detect the position signal of the pedal 400. In another embodiment, the sensor can also detect the operating state of the driving device 500 to thereby detect the position signal of the connecting arm 300.

[0079] The controller can be electrically connected to the drive device 500 and the sensor, and can control the operation of the drive device 500 based on the position signal of the connecting arm 300. The controller can receive the position signal transmitted by the sensor, and then determine the installation position of the connecting arm 300 based on the position signal, and then instruct the drive device 500 to operate and drive the connecting arm 300 to move to the corresponding position.

[0080] The memory can be electrically connected to the controller and can be used to store the position signal of the connecting arm 300. The memory can automatically store the position signal of the connecting arm 300. By storing the installation position of the connecting arm 300, the user's usage habits can be recorded. When the vehicle has multiple users, the position of the connecting arm 300 used by each user can be recorded separately.

[0081] In actual implementation, when the user adjusts the connecting arm 300 to an installation position that makes him feel comfortable, the storage can record the position signal of the corresponding installation position. The next time the same user uses it, if the connecting arm 300 is not in the corresponding installation position, the controller can control the driving device 500 to move the connecting arm 300 to the corresponding installation position.

[0082] The control device provided in the embodiment of the present application improves the user experience and convenience.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 1 , according to some embodiments of the present application, a driving device 500 may include a screw 510 , a slider 520 , and a driving motor 530 .

[0084] The screw rod 510 can extend in the transverse direction and can be rotated around its axis. The slider 520 can be connected to the screw rod 510 by power coupling, and the slider 520 is connected to the connecting arm 300, and the connecting arm 300 is driven by the slider 520 to move on the screw rod 510.

[0085] The drive motor 530 can be power-coupled to the screw rod 510 and can be used to drive the screw rod 510 to rotate. The drive motor 530 can be power-coupled to one end of the screw rod 510 to drive the screw rod 510 to rotate about its axis, thereby driving the slider 520 to move along the screw rod 510, and further driving the connecting arm 300 to move along the screw rod 510, thereby changing the installation position of the connecting arm 300.

[0086] In some embodiments, the sensor may also be an encoder, which detects the number of revolutions of the output end of the drive motor 530 through the sensor to determine the distance the lead screw 510 drives the slider 520 to move, and further detects the position signal of the connecting arm 300.

[0087] As shown in Figure 1, according to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket 200 can be provided with a mounting groove 210 extending laterally, one end of the connecting arm 300 can be movably arranged laterally in the mounting groove 210, and the other end of the connecting arm 300 can be connected to the pedal 400.

[0088] The connecting arm 300 can be used to connect to the transmission device of the vehicle, and output the power of the pedal arm to the braking system or the throttle system through the transmission device.

[0089] One end of the connecting arm 300 can be configured to cooperate with the mounting slot 210 to connect the connecting arm 300 to the mounting bracket 200. Multiple first mounting positions are formed along the transverse direction of the mounting slot 210. One end of the connecting arm 300 can move transversely within the mounting slot 210 to connect the connecting arm 300 to different first mounting positions. It will be appreciated that the transverse length of the mounting slot 210 defines the range of motion of the connecting arm 300.

[0090] The driving device 500 can be power-coupled with the connecting arm 300, and the driving device 500 can drive the connecting arm 300 to move laterally, so that one end of the connecting arm 300 moves laterally in the installation groove 210, and the other end of the connecting arm 300 drives the pedal to move laterally.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , according to some embodiments of the present application, the connecting arm 300 may include an arm body 301 and a mounting plate 310 .

[0092] One end of the arm body 301 is used to connect with the mounting bracket 200 , and the mounting plate 310 is connected to the other end of the arm body 301 .

[0093] The arm body 301 can be used to connect with the transmission device of the vehicle, and output the power of the pedal arm to the braking system or the throttle system through the transmission device.

[0094] The mounting plate 310 is connected to the arm body 301. The other end of the arm body 301 can be connected to the back of the mounting plate 310, or it can be connected to one end of the mounting plate 310 in the height direction, so that when a user steps on the mounting plate 310, the arm body 301 can move. The mounting plate 310 can be fixedly connected to the arm body 301 or movably connected. For example, the fixed connection can be welded, and the movably connection can be hinged, which is not limited here.

[0095] The plurality of second mounting positions are provided at one of the mounting plate 310 and the pedal 400 , and the other of the mounting plate 310 and the pedal 400 is mounted at one of the plurality of second mounting positions.

[0096] In this embodiment, pedal 400 is mounted on the front of mounting plate 310 such that the back of pedal 400 contacts the front of mounting plate 310, and the front of pedal 400 is provided for a user to step on. A plurality of second mounting locations are provided on mounting plate 310, and pedal 400 is mounted in one of the plurality of second mounting locations to change the lateral position of pedal 400.

[0097] According to the pedal device 100 of the vehicle of the present application, a plurality of installation positions distributed laterally are provided on at least one of the mounting plate 310 and the pedal 400 to adjust the relative positions of the mounting plate 310 and the pedal 400 in the laterally direction, thereby changing the spacing between the pedal device 100 of the vehicle and the adjacent pedals to facilitate use by users of different body shapes.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting position may be provided with a mounting portion, and the other of the pedal 400 and the mounting plate 310 may be provided with a mating portion that cooperates with the mounting portion, and the mounting portion cooperates with the mating portion to enable the pedal 400 to be installed on the mounting plate 310.

[0099] The mounting portion can be locked with the matching portion to securely connect the mounting plate 310 and the pedal 400 .

[0100] In this embodiment, the mounting location is provided on the mounting plate 310. Thus, the mounting plate 310 is provided with a mounting portion, and the pedal 400 is provided with a mating portion. The mounting plate 310 may be provided with multiple mounting portions, and the pedal 400 may be provided with one or more mating portions. A mating portion on the pedal 400 may be mated with one of the multiple mounting portions to achieve a fixed connection, or multiple mating portions on the pedal 400 may be mated with some of the multiple mounting portions to achieve a fixed connection.

[0101] It is understood that the number of the matching portions on the pedal 400 is less than the number of the mounting portions on the mounting plate 310, so as to ensure that the mounting position of the pedal 400 can be changed relative to the mounting plate 310. In this embodiment, the pedal 400 may be provided with two matching portions.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portion may be a positioning groove, and the matching portion may be a positioning pin 410 . The positioning pin 410 may extend into the positioning groove and be matched with the positioning groove for connection.

[0103] The positioning groove is provided on the mounting plate 310, and the positioning pin 410 can be provided on the back of the pedal 400 to extend into the positioning groove and cooperate with the positioning groove. By providing the positioning pin 410 to cooperate with the positioning groove, the connection strength is improved and the stability of the connection is guaranteed.

[0104] According to some embodiments of the present application, multiple positioning grooves can be distributed horizontally on the mounting plate 310, and the positioning grooves can be set through the mounting plate 310, at least two positioning pins 410 are provided on the back of the pedal 400, and the two positioning pins 410 can pass through the corresponding positioning grooves to connect with the limiting parts provided on the back of the mounting plate 310.

[0105] The plurality of positioning grooves can be distributed in a horizontal direction to form a row of positioning grooves, or the plurality of positioning grooves can be distributed in a horizontal and vertical array to form multiple rows of positioning grooves. The positioning grooves can be set through the mounting plate 310 so that the positioning pins 410 pass through the positioning grooves to the back of the mounting plate 310.

[0106] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the positioning groove may be similar to that of the positioning pin 410 , and the positioning groove may be loosely matched with the positioning pin 410 to facilitate the insertion of the positioning pin 410 .

[0107] At least two positioning pins 410 may be provided. The two positioning pins 410 prevent the pedal 400 from rotating relative to the mounting plate 310 .

[0108] The limiting member may be in at least one of the following structural forms:

[0109] First, the limiting member can be a nut 430.

[0110] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the positioning pin 410 is provided with an external thread, and the limiting member can be a nut 430. The nut 430 can be threadedly engaged with the positioning pin 410 so that the nut 430 is pressed against the back of the mounting plate 310 to fix the pedal 400.

[0111] Second, the limiting member can be a pin.

[0112] In this embodiment, the positioning pin 410 may be provided with a through hole extending radially therethrough, and the limiting member may be a pin shaft that can pass through the through hole. When the mounting plate 310 is in contact with the pedal 400, the through hole on the positioning pin 410 just passes through the back side of the mounting plate 310, and the pedal 400 is fixed by inserting the pin shaft into the through hole.

[0113] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , according to some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of positioning grooves may be connected end to end in a transverse direction to form an adjustment groove 311 extending in a transverse direction, and a positioning pin 410 is provided through the adjustment groove 311 .

[0114] Multiple positioning grooves are connected end to end in the transverse direction to form a transversely extending adjustment groove 311. The positioning pin 410 can be arranged to move transversely within the adjustment groove 311. In this embodiment, multiple adjustment grooves 311 can be formed, and the multiple adjustment grooves 311 are distributed along the longitudinal direction. When multiple positioning pins 410 are provided, they can pass through the non-interconnected adjustment grooves 311.

[0115] The adjusting slot 311 is provided to facilitate the position adjustment of the positioning pin 410 in the positioning slot.

[0116] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , according to some embodiments of the present application, a projection of the mounting plate 310 on the pedal 400 is located within the range of the pedal 400 .

[0117] By placing the projection of the mounting plate 310 on the pedal 400 within the range of the pedal 400, the area of ​​the pedal 400 is made larger than the area of ​​the mounting plate 310. This prevents the mounting plate 310 from leaking out when the position of the pedal 400 is adjusted, thereby preventing the user from stepping on the pedal and creating a safety hazard.
