Automobile pedal with swing arm structure
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile pedals, and particularly relates to an automobile pedal with a swing arm structure.
Background
The background of the related art of the present invention will be described below, but the description does not necessarily constitute the prior art of the present invention.
The existing automobile pedal needs to keep the extending angle of the pedal through self-locking force depending on a motor when extending, the reason for the extending angle is that rotating shafts at two ends of a connecting arm of the pedal are all arranged in parallel to the ground, the connecting arm motor output shaft is driven to rotate by the gravity of the pedal, and the unfolding state is unstable. Therefore, in the motor model selection of the automobile pedal adopting the driving structure, a speed reducing motor with high self-locking force needs to be selected, and the manufacturing cost of the pedal is increased.
The speed reducing motor of the automobile pedal with the structure has the advantages that the moment generated when the dead weight of the pedal is applied to the connecting arm in the extending state is overcome, the moment generated when the pedal is normally treaded is overcome, and therefore the requirement on the speed reducing motor is higher.
