The running-board of high-grade vehicle often can be equipped with electronic running-board, and electronic running-board comprises footboard, telescopic machanism, motor element, controller, control pencil, magnetic control module (match) and installation annex etc. and theory of operation: the vehicle door is opened, the electric pedal automatically extends out, the pedal stops when running to the limit position, and the stepping distance can be reduced to facilitate drivers and passengers; the vehicle door is closed, the electric pedal plate is automatically retracted, and the pedal plate is retracted to the bottom of the vehicle, but the electric pedal plate is relatively complex in structure and control, so that the failure rate is high, and the maintenance cost is high; the cost is high, so the method can only be used in high-end vehicle types, and the requirements of most drivers and passengers cannot be met.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1 to 8, in order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a hidden type vehicle step, which is located below a door 20, and includes

The pedal accommodating cavity 11 is arranged on the vehicle body 10 below the vehicle door 20, and particularly, the pedal accommodating cavity 11 is positioned below the vehicle door and between skirt edges, is a concave cavity and is slightly larger than the outer contour of the pedal 31 and used for accommodating the pedal 31;

the pedal assembly 30 comprises a pedal 31 positioned in the pedal accommodating cavity 11, and the pedal 31 is movably connected in the pedal accommodating cavity 11, so that the pedal can be turned over;

the linkage mechanism 50 comprises a power input end and a power output end, the power input end is connected with the vehicle door 20, the power output end is connected with the pedal plate 31, the vehicle door 20 drives the linkage mechanism to force the pedal plate 31 to turn to the outside of the pedal plate accommodating cavity 11 to be horizontal (see a dotted line 31 'in fig. 6-8) after being opened, so that when the vehicle door is opened (see the dotted line vehicle door 20' in fig. 6-8), the pedal plate 31 synchronously turns to the outside of the pedal plate accommodating cavity, and the pedal plate is turned out and opened when the vehicle door is opened, and is used by.

The reset mechanism 40 acts on the pedal 31, and keeps applying a trend force to the pedal 31, the trend force forces the pedal 31 to turn towards the pedal accommodating cavity 11, so that when the vehicle door is closed, the pedal 31 is synchronously retracted towards the pedal accommodating cavity 11, the vehicle door is closed, and the pedal is retracted.

In this embodiment, it is preferable that the turning angle of the foot board 31 is 90 degrees, and the turning angle is just so that the foot board 31 is turned from a vertical state to a horizontal state after the door is opened to a certain angle, so that the stepping surface of the foot board faces upward, and the foot board 31 can be stepped on, and the vehicle can be conveniently entered into the vehicle by the support of the foot board.

In order to better realize that the pedal 31 is also synchronously turned outwards when the vehicle door is opened, the linkage mechanism 50 comprises a cable 51 and a cable channel 531, after the cable 51 passes through the cable channel 531, one end of the cable is connected with the vehicle door 20, and the other end of the cable is connected with the pedal 31.

Preferably, the connection point of the cable 51 and the vehicle door 20 is close to the connection point 52 of the vehicle door 20 and the vehicle body 10, namely close to the installation position of a vehicle door hinge, so that in the process of opening the vehicle door, the reaction force of the cable on the vehicle door can not obviously obstruct the vehicle door from opening, the specific position can obtain the minimum length of the cable to move through calculating the angle of rotation required by turning the pedal plate to be completely opened and the distance between the connection point of the cable and the connection piece and the axis of the rotating shaft through the common knowledge, and then the position of the connection point of the cable and the vehicle door can be accurately determined through the minimum length and the opening angle of the vehicle door. Therefore, the door pulling cable 51 can move enough to enable the cable to pull the pedal to turn outwards and open to be horizontal, and the normal use of the door is not hindered.

As shown in fig. 4-5, the footrest 31 is L-shaped and includes a first arm 311 and a second arm 312, the opening of the L-shaped footrest faces the vehicle body, the end of the first arm 311 is fixedly connected with the shaft sleeve 33, and the second arm 312 is used for turning over and opening to the horizontal for the rider to step on or shielding the footrest accommodating chamber in the retracted state; thus, when the pedal is located in the pedal accommodating cavity, the second arm 312 is vertically upward, and in order to enable the second arm 312 to extend to the outside of the vehicle body to the maximum extent when the pedal is turned over and increase the effective stepping area, the shaft sleeve 33 is preferably fixedly connected with the end part of the first arm 311 in the embodiment; specifically, the shaft sleeve 33 is provided with a rotating shaft 32, the rotating shaft 32 is fixedly connected with the vehicle body 10, and in order to enable the pedal to be rapidly turned and opened under the action of pulling of the cable, a connecting member 54 is preferably fixedly arranged on the shaft sleeve 33 or the pedal plate 31, the cable 51 is connected with the connecting member 54, and after the vehicle door 20 pulls the cable 51, the connecting member 54 or the pedal plate 31 is applied with torque to force the cable 51 to rotate.

It should be noted that the first arm 311 has a certain length, so that after the foot pedal is turned over and opened, the second arm 312 is lowered by a certain height, which is equal to the length of the first arm 311, and the length of the first arm 311 is adaptively selected according to a specific vehicle type and the height to be lowered, so that after the foot pedal is turned and opened, the height of the second arm 312 (i.e., the tread surface) can be synchronously lowered, i.e., the ground clearance of the tread surface is reduced, so that a driver and passengers can easily tread on the pedal; and does not thereby increase the structural complexity of the entire device.

In addition, the present embodiment further has a supporting block 13, the pedal 31 is turned over to a horizontal state (the pedal 31' is shown by a dotted line in fig. 5) from the pedal receiving cavity, at this time, the first arm 311 abuts against the supporting block 13 to limit the pedal, and prevent the first arm 311 from further rotating, so as to prevent the pedal from being forced to rotate inward when the driver steps on the pedal, thereby solving the problem of instability of the pedal.

Preferably, the reset mechanism comprises a torsion spring 41, one end of the torsion spring 41 is fixed with the vehicle body, the other end of the torsion spring 41 is fixedly connected with the shaft sleeve, and a certain pre-torsion force is applied to the torsion spring 41 during installation, so that the reset mechanism can well keep the pedal in the pedal accommodating cavity 11; when the pedal is turned and opened towards the outside of the pedal accommodating cavity, the pedal drives the torsion spring to rotate and twist, so that the torsion spring is deformed, the deformation is converted into elastic force, but the pedal keeps an opening state before the vehicle door is closed because the acting force of the inhaul cable is greater than that of the torsion spring; when the vehicle door is closed, the pulling force of the pull cable on the connecting piece is reduced or even disappears, the torsion spring can recover, meanwhile, the elastic force is released, and the released elastic force forces the pedal plate to reversely turn back to the pedal plate accommodating cavity.

It should be noted that the reference numerals 20 ', 31', 51 ', 52', 53 ', 54' in the dotted line positions in fig. 5 to 8 respectively indicate the door 20, the step plate 31, the cable 51, the joint 52, the guide block 53, and the connecting member 54 in the door open state.

The specific working principle is as follows:

when the vehicle door 20 is opened, the stay cable 51 connected with the vehicle door is pulled by the vehicle door to move along with the vehicle door, but the length of the stay cable 51 cannot be stretched, so that the stay cable slides along the stay cable channel 531, and the stay cable and the connecting end of the connecting piece are pulled to move synchronously, so that the connecting piece drives the shaft sleeve to overcome the trend force of the reset mechanism to rotate, the direction of the rotation is opposite to the direction of the trend force, and at the moment, the pedal plate can turn around the rotating shaft 32 to the outside of the pedal plate accommodating cavity until the pedal plate turns 90 degrees; when the vehicle door is opened, the pedal is also turned out and opened for the driver and passengers to use.

When the vehicle door is closed, the stay cable is in a stretching state and is converted into a relaxing state, the resetting mechanism 40 forces the pedal to reset to have dominant trend force, the trend force acts on the pedal 31 to force the pedal 31 to turn around the rotating shaft to turn in the pedal accommodating cavity 11, so that when the vehicle door is closed, the pedal 31 is synchronously retracted in the pedal accommodating cavity 11, the vehicle door is closed, the pedal is retracted in the pedal accommodating cavity, the contour of the reset pedal is kept flat with the vehicle body and the vehicle door, and the width of the vehicle body cannot be influenced.

Example two

The difference from the first embodiment is that the second embodiment further optimizes the exposure problem of the linkage mechanism and the reset mechanism after the pedal is turned to be opened.

Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 9, the pedal 31 is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 33, in order to enable the pedal to extend to the outside of the vehicle body to the maximum extent when the pedal is turned over, and increase the effective treading area, the rotating shaft 33 is located on the inner side surface of the pedal 31 or close to the inner side surface, the rotating shaft 33 is movably connected with the pedal accommodating cavity 11, a connecting member 54 is fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft 33, a cable 51 is connected with the connecting member 54, a shaft hole 12 for the rotating shaft to pass through is arranged on the vehicle body 10, a shaft sleeve 32 is arranged in the shaft hole 12, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the shaft sleeve and then is fixedly connected, the vehicle body 10 and the guide piece 53 are provided with a cable channel 531, the cable passes through the cable channel and enters the interior of the vehicle body to be connected with the connecting piece, after the door 20 pulls the cable 51, the connecting piece is applied with torque which forces the connecting piece to rotate by the cable, the torque overcomes the torque of the reset mechanism so as to force the pedal plate to turn and open to the outside of the pedal plate accommodating cavity to be horizontal; because the linkage mechanism is mostly hidden in the automobile body, the problem that the appearance is influenced by exposure is solved.

Preferably, the driving force of the return mechanism is applied to the rotating shaft; further preferably, the reset mechanism is installed in the vehicle body, and the rotating shaft penetrates through the vehicle body and then is connected with the reset mechanism, so that the reset mechanism is well hidden.

EXAMPLE III

The difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the foot pedal can be completely opened only when the vehicle door is opened to the maximum and can be turned over to the horizontal state, and if the vehicle door is not needed or cannot be opened to the maximum, the foot pedal is inclined, so that the foot pedal is difficult to step or cannot step; if it is desired to have the door fully open when it is not fully open, there will be a cable that will restrict the door from continuing to open, resulting in the door not continuing to open to its maximum.

Based on this, referring to fig. 5, the present embodiment proposes that the linkage mechanism 50 includes a buffer component 541, the buffer component 541 is connected in series with the cable 51, and the pedal is fully opened when the vehicle door is not opened to the maximum, and the buffer component 541 is preferably a tension spring, and compensates the length problem of the cable by the extension of the tension spring, and can also ensure that the vehicle door is opened to a certain angle to the fully opened stroke, the pedal is fully opened, and the opening of the vehicle door is not limited and influenced.

Example four

In the first to third embodiments, if the vehicle door is quickly closed, the pulling force on the pull cable is quickly eliminated, and the pedal can quickly rotate back to the pedal accommodating cavity under the action of the reset mechanism, so that the pedal and the pedal accommodating cavity generate large impact, noise is generated, or the painted surface is damaged; referring to fig. 9, the present embodiment proposes to add a damping mechanism to the pedal, wherein the damping mechanism is preferably a damper, which applies a damping force to the pedal during the process of overturning the pedal into the pedal receiving cavity, so as to prevent the pedal from rapidly returning and the pedal receiving cavity from generating a large impact force.

It should be noted that the damper is the prior art, and the specific structure of the damper does not belong to the protection scope of the present application.

What deserve to mention is, in order to further reduce the running-board when reseing to damage and the noise production of colliding with of running-board and running-board holding chamber lock department, this embodiment still sets up sealing strip 14 in running-board and running-board holding chamber lock department, and the sealing strip material is rubber, and it can be fine plays the cushioning effect when the running-board resets like this, and sealing strip 14 improves the leakproofness of running-board and running-board holding chamber lock department simultaneously, and separation dust or rainwater enter into the running-board holding intracavity.

The above-mentioned embodiment is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the protection scope of the present invention according to this, so: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the utility model are covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
