Door handle device

Abstract

Disclosed is a door handle device capable of operating the door opening / closing mechanism of a vehicle. The door handle device comprises a support member (21), a door handle (10), a lock detecting electrode (31), and an electrostatic capacity sensor (41). The door handle (10) includes a first end portion (12b), a second end portion (12d), a turning portion (12a), and an operation portion (12c). The first electrostatic capacity sensor (41) detects the issuance of a door locking command on the basis of the change in an electrostatic capacity between an outer panel (20) and a lock detecting electrode (31). The door handle (10) includes a first handle case (11), and a second handle case (12) covering the first handle case (11). The lock detecting electrode (31) closely confronts the inner side face of at least one of the upper wall (12e) and the lower wall (12f) of the second handle case (12). The electrode end face (31a), which confronts the outer panel (20), of the lock detecting electrode (31) is formed into a non-planar shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a door handle device having functions such as detecting a locking command of a vehicle door. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a door handle device equipped with a so-called smart entry system (registered trademark) has been provided. The smart key system, for example, recognizes the vehicle user's approach and getting off the vehicle through communication between the vehicle user's portable device and the vehicle's transmitter receiver, and detects the locking and unlocking commands issued by the vehicle user to automatically Carry out locking and unlocking of the doors. Conventionally, as such a door handle device, for example, a device described in Patent Document 1 is known. Figure 5 shows the front structure of the door handle device described in Patent Document 1. Image 6 shown along the Figure 5 The cross-sectional construction of 6-6 lines. [0003] like Figure 5 and Image 6 As shown, the d...

Problems solved by technology

In this case, simultaneous unlocking based on the sensor S ULK The detection of the unlock command and based on the lock sensor S LK The detection of the lock instruction, there is a possibility that the accurate detection cannot be performed

And, when the door is opened, since the vehicle user's hand enters the lock sensor S LK There is a possibility of causing undesired actions by the vehicle user if the locking action is performed due to the detection range.
