Abstract

The application relates to a pedal mechanism and a housing of a balancing vehicle. The pedal mechanism comprises a pedal body, and an internal framework is arranged inside the pedal body. A lower side of the pedal body is also formed with an induction probe for inducting a control system inside a balancing vehicle. A housing of the balancing vehicle comprises a pair of symmetrically arranged and relatively rotatable inner housings, the inner housings are connected with the upper housing, and the pedal mechanism installed at upper housing. The pedal body and the induction probe are integrally molded, which has the advantages of less multiple assembly processes, shorter processing time, higher precision, and not easy to fall off which strengthens the stability of the structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pedal mechanism, wherein the pedal mechanism comprises a pedal body, an inner framework is arranged inside the pedal body, and a lower side of the pedal body is integrally formed with an induction probe for inducting a control system inside a balancing vehicle wherein an outer edge of the pedal body is sunken downward to form an installing convex edge for installing at a housing of the balancing vehicle, and the installing convex edge is fixedly connected with the housing of the balancing vehicle through a plurality of bolts or screws.

2. The pedal mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the pedal body, the inner framework and the induction probe are integrally molded by injection molding.

3. The pedal mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein an upper surface of the pedal body is provided with an anti-skid stripe.

4. The pedal mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein the pedal body and the induction probe are made of soft plastic, and the inner framework is in a sheet structure and is made of metal or rigid plastic.

5. The pedal mechanism according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of buffer columns is formed on a lower surface of the pedal body.

6. The pedal mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the pedal body is provided with an anti-skid stripe.

7. The pedal mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the pedal body and the induction probe are made of soft plastic, and the inner framework is in a sheet structure and is made of metal or rigid plastic.

8. The pedal mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of buffer columns are formed on a lower surface of the pedal body.

9. The pedal mechanism according to claim 8 , wherein the lower surface of the pedal body is provided with a plurality of crisscross stiffeners, and each of the buffer column are located at an intersection of the stiffeners.

10. A housing of a balancing vehicle comprises a pair of symmetrically arranged and relatively rotatable inner housings, and an upper housing is connected with an upper side of the inner housing, the upper housing is fitted with a pedal mechanism,
wherein the pedal mechanism comprises a pedal body, an inner framework is arranged inside the pedal body, and a lower side of the pedal body is integrally formed with an induction probe for inducting a control system inside a balancing vehicle;

11. The housing of the balancing vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the pedal body, the inner framework and the induction probe are integrally molded by injection molding.

12. The housing of the balancing vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein an upper surface of the pedal body is provided with an anti-skid stripe.

13. The housing of the balancing vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the outer edge of the pedal body is sunken downward to form an installing convex edge for installing at a housing of the balancing vehicle, and the installing convex edge is fixedly connected with the housing of the balancing vehicle through a plurality of bolts or screws.

14. The housing of the balancing vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the pedal body and the induction probe are made of soft plastic, and the inner framework is in a sheet structure and is made of metal or rigid plastic.

15. The housing of the balancing vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein a plurality of buffer columns is formed on a lower surface of the pedal body.

16. The housing of the balancing vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the lower surface of the pedal body is provided with a plurality of crisscross stiffeners, and each of the buffer column is located at an intersection of the stiffeners.

17. The housing of the balancing vehicle according to claim 15 , wherein the lower surface of the pedal body is provided with a plurality of crisscross stiffeners, and each of the buffer column is located at an intersection of the stiffeners;
the outer edge of the pedal body is sunken downward to form a installing convex edge, the upper housing is formed with an installation groove corresponding to the installing convex edge, an upper surface of the installing convex edge is fitted into the installation groove, and a lower surface of the installing convex edge is fixed with a waterproof plate by bolts or screws.

18. A pedal mechanism, wherein the pedal mechanism comprises a pedal body, an inner framework is arranged inside the pedal body, and a lower side of the pedal body is integrally formed with an induction probe for inducting a control system inside a balancing vehicle;
