Description
The present invention relates to an electric folding door step of a vehicle, and more particularly, by applying a footboard that can be swiveled in a side seal of a vehicle having a relatively high ground clearance compared to a passenger vehicle, It relates to an electric folding door step of a vehicle that enables the turning of the foot board to be operated by electric folding to enhance the ease of use.
In general, passenger vehicles have no problem in getting on and off because the ground height is low.However, in the case of vehicles with relatively high ground height such as vans or multi-purpose vehicles (SUVs), the general public, children, the elderly, etc. There was a lot of crowds involved in getting on and off, as well as risks of various safety accidents.
Accordingly, conventionally, in a vehicle having a relatively high ground clearance compared to a passenger vehicle, a footrest that extends along the vehicle body is provided separately at a mid-height position between the side seal and the road surface. Since it is installed to always be exposed to the outside of the vehicle body will reduce the appearance of the vehicle.
In addition, the conventional fixed footrest implements its utilization only at the time of getting on and off and does not exert its original function during driving, but rather increases the width of the vehicle body in the width direction, thus acting as a obstacle in driving. That is, the conventional fixed footrest has a problem inherent in the risk of contact and collision with various obstacles and pedestrians while driving.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned matters, and by installing a folding door step that can be turned by an electric method by a user's operation on the side seal portion of the vehicle body, it can help the user's convenience when getting on and off. In particular, the object of the present invention is to prevent overload of the driving circuit at the stop position of the turning.
The present invention for achieving the above object, the mounting bracket is installed on the side seal of the vehicle body;
A foot board that is pivotally installed with respect to the mounting bracket via a hinge pin;
A wired / wireless signal input unit for folding and unfolding the foot board;
An electric drive having a motor for providing rotational force in a forward / reverse direction to a hinge point of the footboard to pivot the footboard in the folding and unfolding directions with respect to the mounting bracket; And
A control unit having an overload protection circuit for providing an operating power to the electric drive unit according to a signal input from the signal input unit to control folding and unfolding of the foot board and preventing overload during operation;
The overload protection circuit is a normal on type connected between the power supply unit for controlling the forward / reverse driving of the motor by switching the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor, and between the power supply unit and one power terminal of the motor A relay switch, a first poly switch and a first diode connected in series between the power applying unit and the relay switch, and connected in parallel to the first poly switch and the first diode between the power applying unit and the relay switch A second poly switch and a second diode, and the first poly switch, the first diode, the second poly switch, and the second diode are respectively connected in parallel between the power supply unit and the other power terminal of the motor. An electric folding door step of a vehicle having a relay coil for controlling on / off of the relay switch is presented.
In the present invention, the signal input unit is a manual operation switch for outputting the operation signal of the footboard to the control unit in the vehicle interior, a door switch for outputting the lock and release signal of the door according to the opening and closing of the door to the control unit; And at least one of an external transmitter of the wireless door lock device that outputs a lock and release signal of the door to the controller according to a wireless transmission / reception signal.
In the present invention, the electric drive unit is a drive gear mounted to the rotary shaft of the motor to rotate in the forward / reverse direction under the control of the control unit, a driven gear meshed with the drive gear and mounted to the hinge pin, and the motor and And a case attached to the mounting bracket by accommodating the drive gear and the driven gear therein.
According to the electric folding door step of the vehicle according to the present invention, the mounting bracket is installed on the side seal portion of the vehicle, the ground height is relatively higher than that of the passenger vehicle, and turning by the electric method by the user's selection on the hinge portion of the mounting bracket. By installing a foot board that allows you to step on and off the train, you can use it more usefully when the passengers, including the general public and children, who are not comfortable with getting on and off, can reduce the occurrence of various safety accidents.
In addition, the present invention can maximize the convenience in the use of the folding door step by the user by applying a variety of signal input method in the operation of the folding and unfolding of the foot board to the mounting bracket by the electric method.
In particular, the present invention is to provide a foot board driving circuit for the foot board driving circuit by providing an overload protection circuit that can cut the operating power when the overload is detected in the drive system of the foot board operated in the electric way by the user's operation in the side seal portion of the vehicle body; More aggressive protection will increase the durability of the electric folding door step.
