DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, but should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1-5, the electric pedal with a locking function of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pedal 1, a telescopic mechanism 2 and a locking device 3. The pedal 1 is suitable for installation on a vehicle. The telescopic mechanism 2 is installed on the vehicle and connected to the pedal 1. The telescopic mechanism 2 is used to drive the pedal 1 to move between a first position (not shown) and a second position (not shown) relative to the vehicle. When the pedal 1 is in the first position, the pedal 1 is in an extended state, so that it is convenient for stepping on when getting on and off the vehicle. When the pedal 1 is in the second position, the pedal 1 is in a retracted state, so that when the vehicle is driving, the pedal 1 is not easy to rub against surrounding objects. There is an angle between the first position and the second position, and the angle is greater than 0 degrees. The locking device 3 is provided on the telescopic mechanism 2, and the locking device 3 is used to lock the pedal 1 at the first position, the second position and any position between the first position and the second position.

[0037] In the electric pedal with a locking function of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the telescopic mechanism 2 drives the pedal 1 to move between the first position and the second position, so that the user can step on the pedal 1 in different states. The setting of the locking device 3 not only ensures that the pedal 1 remains stable in any position, but also allows the force applied to the pedal 1 when it is stepped on to act on the locking device 3, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the pedal 1 and protecting the internal parts of the telescopic mechanism 2 from being easily damaged.

[0038] In some embodiments, the locking device 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a stopper 32, a toggle member 33, and a drive member 34. The connecting plate 31 is disposed on the telescopic mechanism 2, and one end of the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2 passes through the connecting plate 31 along the thickness direction of the connecting plate 31. In some specific embodiments, the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2 controls the extension and retraction of the pedal 1 by rotating about its own extension direction. A through-hole 311 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 31, which extends through the connecting plate 31 along the thickness direction of the connecting plate 31. One end of the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2 can pass through the through-hole 311.

[0039] The stopper 32 is located on the side of the connecting plate 31 facing away from the telescopic mechanism 2 and is connected to one end of the driving shaft. The stopper 32 can rotate relative to the connecting plate 31 along with the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2. A notch 321 is defined on the outer circumference of the stopper 32. In some embodiments, an elongated hole 322 is defined in the middle of the stopper 32. One end of the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2 has an elongated cross-section, and the end of the driving shaft fits into the elongated hole 322. This ensures a secure fit between the stopper 32 and the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2, preventing relative movement between the stopper 32 and the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2.

[0040] The toggle member 33 is disposed on the side of the connecting plate 31 facing away from the telescopic mechanism 2. The toggle member 33 is rotatable relative to the connecting plate 31, with at least a portion of the toggle member 33 engaging with the recess 321. A driving member 34 is connected to the toggle member 33 and is configured to drive the toggle member 33 to rotate, causing at least a portion of the toggle member 33 to engage with or disengage from the recess 321. The driving member 34 is a motor.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, when the driver 34 drives at least a portion of the toggle member 33 to engage with the recess 321, the toggle member 33 can restrict the rotation of the stop member 32 relative to the connecting plate 31, thereby restricting the rotation of the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2 and maintaining the pedal 1 stable in a certain position. When the driver 34 drives at least a portion of the toggle member 33 to disengage from the recess 321, the toggle member 33 no longer acts to limit the stop member 32. The stop member 32 can rotate along with the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2, allowing the pedal 1 to move between the first position and the second position. Thus, limiting the position of the pedal 1 by driving the toggle member 33 by the driver 34 not only simplifies operation and improves locking effectiveness, but also allows the force applied to the pedal 1 when it is stepped on to act on the toggle member 33, preventing the force applied to the pedal 1 from being transmitted to the internal components of the telescopic mechanism 2 and protecting the internal components of the telescopic mechanism 2 from damage. Furthermore, the locking device 3 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0042] In some embodiments, there are multiple recesses 321, which are spaced apart circumferentially around the outer circumference of the stopper 32. In some embodiments, the outer circumference of the stopper 32 is cylindrical, and the multiple recesses 321 are evenly spaced apart around the outer circumference of the stopper 32. At least a portion of the toggle member 33 can engage with different recesses 321, allowing the locking device 3 to have multiple locking positions, thereby allowing the pedal 1 to have different position states.

[0043] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the recess 321 gradually decreases from one end of the recess 321 away from the center of the stopper 32 to the other end of the recess 321 adjacent to the center of the stopper 32 , making it easier to insert at least part of the toggle member 33 into the recess 321 .

[0044] In some embodiments, the toggle member 33 includes a body 331 and an insert block 332 . One end of the body 331 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting plate 31 facing away from the telescopic mechanism 2 . The insert block 332 is provided at the other end of the body 331 and cooperates with the notch 321 .

[0045] In some embodiments, the body 331 is positioned above the stopper 32, and the insert 332 is positioned on the side of the body 331 adjacent to the stopper 32. A driving member 34 is connected to one end of the body 331 and rotates the body 331 at one end, thereby rotating the other end of the body 331. This in turn causes the insert 332 to perform a circular motion centered at one end of the body 331 and with the length of the body 331 as the radius. In some embodiments, the insert 332 rotates 90 degrees.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the insert block 332 gradually decreases from the end of the insert block 332 adjacent to the body 331 to the end of the insert block 332 distal to the body 331, making it easier for the insert block 332 to be inserted into and mated with the recess 321. The fit between the insert block 332 and the recess 321 ensures that the insert block 332 is stably installed in the recess 321 and is not easily dislodged from the recess 321.

[0047] In some embodiments, the side of the body 331 adjacent to the stopper 32 has a recess 3311, and the cross-sectional area of ​​one end of the body 331 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the other end of the body 331. In some embodiments, the provision of the recess 3311 prevents the side of the body 331 adjacent to the stopper 32 from contacting the outer circumference of the stopper 32 when the insert 332 engages with the notch 321, thereby reducing friction.

[0048] In some embodiments, the locking device 3 further includes a friction-reducing ring 35 and a fixed cover 36. The friction-reducing ring 35 is sleeved over one end of the driving shaft and positioned between the stopper 32 and the connecting plate 31 to reduce friction between the stopper 32 and the connecting plate 31, thereby extending the service life of the locking device 3. The fixed cover 36 is positioned on the side of the connecting plate 31 facing away from the telescopic mechanism 2. The stopper 32 and the toggle member 33 are positioned between the fixed cover 36 and the connecting plate 31. At least a portion of the driving member 34 passes through the fixed cover 36 and is connected to the toggle member 33.

[0049] In some embodiments, the fixed cover 36 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 31, and an installation space (not shown) is formed between the fixed cover 36 and the connecting plate 31. The limiting member 32 and the toggle member 33 are located in the installation space, so that the limiting member 32 and the toggle member 33 are installed firmly, thereby improving the integrity and fit of the locking device 3 and ensuring that the various components of the locking device 3 are tightly fitted.

[0050] The structure of the locking device 3 is not limited to that described above. In some embodiments, the locking device 3 includes a limit plate 41, an electromagnet 42, and an electromagnet fixing cover 43. One end of the limit plate 41 is connected to one end of the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2. In some embodiments, a flat opening 411 is provided at one end of the limit plate 41. The flat opening 411 engages with one end of the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2, ensuring a secure connection between the limit plate 41 and the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2, allowing the limit plate 41 to rotate along with the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2.

[0051] At least a portion of the electromagnet 42 engages with the other end of the limit plate 41. When the electromagnet 42 is energized, at least a portion of the electromagnet 42 is connected to the other end of the limit plate 41, which restricts the rotation of the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2, thereby limiting the position of the pedal 1. When the electromagnet 42 is de-energized, at least a portion of the electromagnet 42 is disconnected from the other end of the limit plate 41, allowing the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2 to rotate, allowing the pedal 1 to rotate along with the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 2. In some embodiments, the other end of the limit plate 41 has a through hole 412. When the electromagnet 42 is energized, at least a portion of the electromagnet 42 engages with the through hole 412. When the electromagnet 42 is de-energized, at least a portion of the electromagnet 42 is disconnected from the through hole 412.

[0052] An electromagnetic fixing cover 43 is provided on the telescopic mechanism 2, with the limit plate 41 located between the electromagnetic fixing cover 43 and the telescopic mechanism 2. The electromagnet 42 is mounted on the electromagnetic fixing cover 43, with at least a portion of the electromagnet 42 engaging with the limit plate 41 through the electromagnetic fixing cover 43. The provision of the electromagnetic fixing cover 43 improves the integrity and coordination of the locking device 3, ensuring a tight fit between the various components of the locking device 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, locking device 3 is an electromagnetic brake. In some embodiments, the electromagnetic brake is installed on telescopic mechanism 2 and connected to the drive shaft of telescopic mechanism 2. When the electromagnetic brake is powered, the brake opens, locking telescopic mechanism 2 and maintaining the stability of pedal 1. When the electromagnetic brake is powered off, the brake closes, allowing telescopic mechanism 2 to move pedal 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, the telescopic mechanism 2 includes a telescopic device 21 and a motor 22, wherein the motor 22 is connected to the telescopic device 21. A locking device 3 is provided between the telescopic device 21 and the motor 22, and the locking device 3 is connected to the telescopic device 21 and the motor 22. The motor 22 locks the telescopic device 21 by driving the locking device 3 to rotate.

[0055] In some embodiments, the locking device 3 is a brake member, which is disposed between the telescopic mechanism 21 and the motor 22. A connecting shaft 51 is disposed between the brake member and the motor 22, and the motor 22 is connected to the brake member via the connecting shaft 51. The motor 22 drives the connecting shaft 51 in a forward and reverse rotation to release the brake member. At this time, the brake does not lock the telescopic mechanism 21. The motor 22 then drives the telescopic mechanism 21 to adjust the position of the pedal 1. Once the position of the pedal 1 is determined, the motor 22 drives the driving shaft of the telescopic mechanism 21 in a reverse direction. At this time, the brake is activated, locking the telescopic mechanism 2 and maintaining the stability of the pedal 1.

[0056] Therefore, the locking device 3 of the electric pedal with a locking function according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has multiple implementation forms, and each locking device 3 is easy to operate when used, thereby improving the practicality and applicability of the electric pedal 1.
