Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a control device for a vehicle door lock body. Background Art

[0002] The shaping surface of a hidden vehicle door handle is consistent with the vehicle door sheet metal. In the closed state, the door handle is like a part of the vehicle door sheet metal and is not easily detectable. The emergence of hidden door handles has significantly enhanced the aesthetic feeling of the vehicle and is in line with the avant-garde style of the whole vehicle. With the improvement of people's requirements, different types of hidden exterior door handles have emerged, such as purely mechanical manual door handles, semi-electric door handles, and purely electric door handles. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control device for a vehicle door lock body. The vehicle door lock body includes a pulling member. The control device includes: a base body having a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other; a swing arm connected to the base body and capable of rotating about a first axis. One end of the swing arm away from the first axis is configured to be connected to the pulling member. When the vehicle door lock body is in the locked state, the swing arm is in an initial position relative to the base body; and a swing arm driving assembly configured to drive the swing arm to rotate from the initial position towards the first edge of the base body to a first unlocking position relative to the base body to unlock the vehicle door lock body when at least one of the swing arm and the pulling member is connected to the base body in a first mounting manner, and drive the swing arm to rotate from the initial position towards the second edge of the base body to a second unlocking position relative to the base body to unlock the vehicle door lock body when at least one of the swing arm and the pulling member is connected to the base body in a second mounting manner.

[0004] In one example, the swing arm driving assembly includes: a handle rotatably connected to the base body; and a driving member configured to be able to move under the drive of the handle and drive the swing arm to rotate.

[0005] In one example, a first protrusion and a second protrusion are provided on the handle. The driving member can be connected to one of the swing arm and the base body in a first mounting manner and a second mounting manner. When the swing arm driving member is connected to one of the swing arm and the base body in a first mounting manner, the first protrusion drives the swing arm to rotate towards the first edge of the base body to reach the first unlocking position as the handle rotates; when the swing arm driving member is connected to one of the swing arm and the base body in a second mounting manner, the second protrusion drives the swing arm to rotate towards the second edge of the base body to reach the second unlocking position as the handle rotates.

[0006] In one example, when the swing arm driving member is connected to the swing arm in the first mounting manner and the second mounting manner, the driving member is located on the first axis.

[0007] In one example, when the driving member is connected to the base body in the first mounting manner and the second mounting manner, the driving member is not located on the first axis.

[0008] In one example, the driving member is movably connected to the base body. The first end of the driving member moves along a path under the drive of the handle and slides on the first surface of the swing arm to push the swing arm to rotate. When the swing arm is in the initial position, the first surface is located on the path.

[0009] In one example, a strip-shaped through hole is provided on the base body. The driving member passes through the strip-shaped through hole. The driving member includes a first end and a second end. The first end is located on the first side of the base body facing the swing arm, and the second end is located on the second side of the base body facing the handle. The handle is configured to directly apply a force to the second end.

[0010] In one example, the driving member is fixedly connected to the handle.

[0011] In one example, the control device of the vehicle door lock body further includes: a handle control assembly configured to drive the handle to rotate from an initial closed position to a partially open position and hold the handle in the partially open position. Wherein, when the handle is in the initial closed position and the partially open position, the lock body remains in the locked state, and when the handle is in the partially open position, the distance between the second end of the handle and the base body is greater than the distance between the second end of the handle and the base body when the handle is in the initial closed position.

[0012] In one example, the handle control assembly includes a handle opening spring that abuts against the handle. When the handle is in the initial closed position, the handle opening spring is in an elastically deformed state. The handle opening spring is configured to push the handle to rotate to the partially open position of the handle when the handle leaves the initial closed position.

[0013] In one example, the handle control assembly includes a button movably connected to the base body, configured to push the handle to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position under an external force.

[0014] In one example, the handle control assembly includes: a control member rotatably connected to the base body, and the control member restricts the handle to the initial closed position of the handle when in the initial position.

[0015] In one example, a protrusion is provided at one end of the control member, and a limiting groove is provided on the handle; the protrusion and the limiting groove are configured such that the handle can be held at a partially open position of the handle.

[0016] In one example, a recess is provided on the control member, and the handle control assembly further includes: a transmission member rotatably connected to the base body, and the transmission member can slide on the control member under the drive of the button and enter the recess, so that the relative positions of the transmission member and the limiting member are locked.

[0017] In one example, the control device further includes a rotary motor configured to drive the control member away from the initial position.

[0018] In one example, the swing arm drive assembly includes a rotary motor connected to the base body, a rotating shaft of the rotary motor is connected to the swing arm to drive the swing arm to rotate around the first axis, and the rotating shaft of the rotary motor is located on the first axis.

[0019] In one example, the swing arm drive assembly further includes a drive member connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary motor, wherein the rotary motor is configured to drive the drive member to rotate around a second axis different from the first axis and push the swing arm to rotate.

[0020] In one example, when the pulling member is a wire, at least two mounting hole structures are provided on the base body, and the at least two non-circular hole structures are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the base body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure shall have the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. The "first", "second", and similar terms used in the present disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or items appearing before this word cover the elements or items listed after this word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or items. "Connection" or "coupling" and similar terms are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are only used to represent relative positional relationships, and when the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0049] Locking and unlocking the vehicle door can be achieved through, for example, a vehicle door lock body control device provided inside the vehicle door. The vehicle door lock body includes a pulling member (e.g., a pull rod or a wire rope) connected to a pawl of the lock body; the vehicle door lock control device includes, for example, an exterior door handle. The exterior door handle drives the pulling member to move, and then drives the pawl connected to the pulling member to move, thereby locking and unlocking the vehicle door lock body (abbreviated as the lock body), and correspondingly achieving locking and unlocking of the vehicle door. Here, when the lock body is in the locked state, the vehicle door is in the closed and locked state; when the lock body is in the unlocked state, the vehicle door is in the unlockable and open state.

[0050] The vehicle door lock body control device may further include a lock cylinder. The lock cylinder is connected to another pawl of the lock body through a pulling member. The movement of the lock cylinder drives the second pulling member, enabling the lock body to achieve the locking or unlocking function. The lock cylinder and the exterior door handle respectively achieve different functions of the lock body. By using the exterior door handle to lock or unlock the lock body, the vehicle door can be directly opened; when the lock cylinder is in the locked state, the function of unlocking the lock cylinder through the exterior door handle to open the vehicle door fails; to open the vehicle door, the lock cylinder must be unlocked first, and then the lock body can be unlocked through the exterior door handle to open the vehicle door. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device provides a mounting and fixing carrier for the lock cylinder. For example, the lock cylinder can be fixed in other places on the vehicle door.

[0051] The current vehicle door lock body control devices have many problems, such as poor operability, poor generalization, complex structure, and high cost.

[0052] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a vehicle door lock body control device, which has good generalization and expandability, and a simple structure and low cost.

[0053] The vehicle door lock body control device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented as a pure manual hidden vehicle door lock body control device; a semi-automatic hidden vehicle door lock body control device; a fully automatic hidden vehicle door lock body control device.

[0054] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control device for a vehicle door lock body. The vehicle door lock body includes a pulling member, and the control device is configured to drive the pulling member to move, thereby achieving locking and unlocking of the vehicle door lock body. To focus the description on the control device of the vehicle door lock body, other parts of the vehicle door lock body are not shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0055] Specifically, the control device includes: a base body having a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other; a swing arm connected to the base body and capable of rotating about a first axis, and one end of the swing arm away from the first axis is configured to connect the pulling member, wherein when the vehicle door lock body is in the locked state, the swing arm is in an initial position relative to the base body; and a swing arm drive assembly configured to drive the swing arm to rotate from the initial position towards the first edge of the base body to a first unlocking position relative to the base body to unlock the vehicle door lock body when at least one of the swing arm and the pulling member is connected to the base body in a first mounting manner, and to drive the swing arm to rotate from the initial position towards the second edge of the base body to a second unlocking position relative to the base body to unlock the vehicle door lock body when at least one of the swing arm and the pulling member is connected to the base body in a second mounting manner.

[0056] Since the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can use the same base body, swing arm and swing arm drive assembly to unlock the pulling member in two opposite directions, the versatility of this control device for left and right vehicle doors is effectively improved.

[0057] The control device of the vehicle door lock body may further include a handle control assembly configured to drive the handle to rotate from an initial closed position to a partially open position and hold the handle in the partially open position, wherein when the handle is in the initial closed position and the partially open position, the lock body remains in the locked state, and when the handle is in the partially open position, the distance between the second end of the handle and the base body is greater than the distance between the second end of the handle and the base body when the handle is in the initial closed position. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the one-handed operability of the handle.

[0058] First Embodiment

[0059] See Figures 1 to 5C , and a semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0060] Figure 1 is an exploded view of a semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure. See Figure 1 , the vehicle door lock body control device includes: a handle 1, a switch 2, a sealing strip 3, a control member 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving member 6, a driving member return spring 7, a handle opening spring 8, a bushing 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a fixing pin 14, a pulling member swing arm 15, a buckle 16, a pulling member assembly 17, a pulling member fixing bracket 18, and a lock core 19.

[0061] The base body 11 includes a bottom 111 and a side wall portion 112. The bottom 111 and the side wall portion 112 enclose an accommodation space for accommodating and / or positioning other components included in the door lock body control device.

[0062] In this embodiment, the swing arm driving assembly includes, for example: a handle 1 and a driving member 6.

[0063] See Figure 2A , the driving member 6 is connected to the pulling member swing arm 15 such that the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 can move as a whole. For example, the pulling member swing arm 15 is formed with a driving member mounting through hole similar to a rectangle at one end close to the first axis A1. See Figure 3B , the lower end portion of the driving member 6 facing the pulling member swing arm 15 has a planar shape similar to a rectangle that matches the through hole. When the lower end portion of the driving member 6 is inserted into the driving member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15, there can be no substantial relative rotation between the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15, for example. Of course, this embodiment does not limit the relative position relationship between the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15, as long as the driving member 6 can effectively drive the pulling member swing arm 15 to rotate.

[0064] See Figure 2A and 3B , the pulling member swing arm 15 is located on the back side of the bottom 111 of the base body 11 opposite to the accommodation space, and the lower end portion 6-1 of the driving member 6 passes through the bottom 111 of the base body 11 of the pulling member swing arm 15 and is inserted into the driving member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15. The fixing pin 14 is inserted into the lower end portion of the driving member 6 to limit the lower end portion 6-1 of the driving member 6 from disengaging from the driving member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15. That is, the pulling member swing arm 15 and the driving member 6 are installed as a whole, and this whole is further combined with the bottom 111 of the base body 11 such that the pulling member swing arm 15 and the driving member 6 can rotate together about the first axis A1. For example, the installed pulling member swing arm 15 and driving member 6 can only produce a very small translational movement relative to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 or no translational movement at all. Here, the first axis A1 is virtual and is used to describe the combination relationship of the pulling member swing arm 15, the driving member 6, and the bottom 111 of the base body 11. For example, the first axis A1 is substantially perpendicular to the bottom 111 of the base body 11.

[0065] Here, the connection method of the pulling member swing arm 15 and the driving member 6 is not limited, nor is the specific shape of the driving member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15 and the lower end portion of the driving member 6 limited, as long as the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 can substantially rotate synchronously about the same axis.

[0066] See Figure 2B , the upper end portion 6-2 of the driving member 6 is located in the accommodation space of the base body 11. A slot is provided on one side of the upper end portion 6-2 of the driving member 6 away from the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 are mounted on the bottom 111 of the base body 11. See Figure 3B , the driving member 6 is located on the first axis A1 and is asymmetric with respect to the first axis A1. The distance of the first side wall 61 of the upper end portion 6-2 of the driving member 6 away from the pulling member swing arm 15 with respect to the first axis A1 is significantly greater than the distance of its second side wall 62 with respect to the first axis A1. See Figure 3B , the slot on the upper end portion 6-2 of the driving member 6 is, for example, perpendicular to the two parallel sides of the lower end portion 6-1 of the driving member 6.

[0067] One end of the pulling member swing arm 15 away from the first axis A1 is configured to be connected to the wire 171 of the pulling member assembly 17 by a buckle 16, for example. The pulling member assembly 17 is connected to the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 through a pulling member fixing bracket 18. See Figure 1 and 3D , the portion of the base body 11 for mounting the pulling member fixing bracket 18 is designed as a square hole structure. During assembly, when installation is required, a square nut 37 can be inserted to cooperate with the screw 38 to install and fix the pulling member fixing bracket 18. When installation is not required, the square nut 37 is not inserted. In addition, a sealing strip 39 can be further provided on the square hole structure of the base body 11. In another example, for example, the portion of the base body 11 for mounting the pulling member fixing bracket 18 is designed as a non-circular structure, and correspondingly, a matching non-circular nut can be used. The square hole structures of the base body 11 for mounting the pulling member fixing bracket 18 and the lock core 19 are symmetrically designed to achieve the purpose of being universal for left and right, avoiding the development of new symmetrical parts and increasing the costs of molds and inspection tools. Here, the connection method between one end of the pulling member swing arm 15 away from the first axis A1 and the wire 171 of the pulling member assembly 17 and the connection method between the pulling member assembly 17 and the base body 11 are not limited, as long as the joint movement between one end of the pulling member swing arm 15 away from the first axis A1 and the wire 171 of the pulling member assembly 17 can be realized.

[0068] The handle rotating shaft 10 is installed on the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 through a bushing 9. Through the handle rotating shaft 10, the handle 1 is connected to the base body 11 and can rotate around the handle rotating shaft 10. The rotating shaft 10 is, for example, fixed relative to the base body 11 (tightly fitted), and the handle 1 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 10 (with an appropriate gap). However, the connection method between the rotating shaft 10 and the base body 11 is not limited here, as long as an anti-detachment structure (or other methods) is made at both ends of the rotating shaft 10 to ensure that it will not fall off the base body 11. The handle opening spring 8 is sleeved on the handle rotating shaft 10, and one end of it is inserted into the slot of the driving member 6 and the other end abuts against the handle 1. The driving member return spring 7 is also sleeved on the handle rotating shaft 10, and one end of it is also inserted into the slot of the driving member 6. When the vehicle door lock body is in the locked state, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position, and the handle opening spring 8 is in a state of large elastic deformation. For example, in the initial closed position, the outer surface of the handle 1 is, for example, substantially flush with the outer surface of the vehicle door sheet metal. The sealing strip 3 fits with the vehicle door sheet metal to play a sealing role between the inside and outside of the vehicle, so as to avoid gaps between the base body 11 and the vehicle door sheet metal and generate air leakage. At one end of the handle 1 close to the handle rotating shaft 10, a first protrusion B1 and a second protrusion B2 are separately provided. See Figure 3C . For example, the two separately provided protrusions B1 and B2 can be symmetrically arranged with respect to each other.

[0069] The asymmetrical structure at the upper end of the driving member 6 and the separate arrangement of the protrusions B1 and B2 enable the protrusions B1 and B2 to alternately contact the driving member 6 and push the driving member 6 to rotate around the first axis A1 when the handle rotates around the handle rotating shaft 10. That is, when the handle 1 pushes the driving member 6 to rotate, only one protrusion contacts the driving member 6, and the other protrusion does not contact the driving member 6.

[0070] The control member 4 is, for example, directly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5, so as to rotate under the control of the rotating motor 5. For example, the rotating motor 5 is installed on the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11. The control member 4 is configured to limit the rotation of the handle 1 at its initial position to keep the handle 1 in the initial closed state. The rotating motor 5 is, for example, signal-connected to the switch 2 on the handle. That is, the control of the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5 can be achieved by operating the switch 2. The operation of the switch 2 can, for example, include contact pressing or non-contact blocking, etc. It can be understood that when the switch 2 is wirelessly communicatively connected to the rotating motor 5, the switch 2 can also be provided on the inner side of the vehicle door or on the remote control key.

[0071] Figures 4A to 4C It is a schematic diagram of the unlocking process of the lock body via the pre-opening state of the semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4A In [the figure], the vehicle door lock body is in the initial locked state;Figure 4B In this case, the door lock body is in a pre-opening state (the door lock body is still in the locked state at this time); Figure 4C In this case, the door lock body is in an unlocked state.

[0072] In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4, a rotary motor 5, a drive member 6, and a handle opening spring 8.

[0073] See Figure 4A , when the door lock body is in the initial locked state, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position. Since the control member 4 abuts against the end of the handle 1 close to the control member 4 in the initial position, the handle 1 cannot rotate around the handle rotation shaft 10, and the handle is restricted to the initial closed position, and the handle cannot be opened by an external force. In Figure 4A In the state shown, the handle opening spring 8 is in a large elastic deformation state, and the drive member return spring 7 is, for example, in a small elastic deformation state. One end of the handle opening spring 8 inserted into the slot of the drive member 6 is, for example, located on the first rotation shaft A1. Therefore, although the handle opening spring 8 is in a large elastic deformation state, no torque that can push the drive member to rotate will be generated. In Figure 4A In the state shown, both the drive member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 are in the initial positions relative to the base body 11 (for example, see Figure 5A );

[0074] When the control member 4 is driven by the rotary motor 5 to leave its initial position shown in Figure 4A , the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to elastic deformation is slowly released, so that one end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 can apply a thrust force to make the handle 1 rotate from the initial closed position to Figure 4B The partially opened position shown. In this embodiment, the handle opening spring 8 acts as a handle drive member to drive the handle 1 to the partially opened position and keep it in this partially opened position. For example, when the handle 1 is in Figure 4B In the partially opened position shown, the handle opening spring 8 is, for example, in a small elastic deformation state. The handle is generally pulled open towards the outside of the door. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to the partially opened position, the protrusion B1 or B2 of the handle 1 contacts the drive member 6, and the force applied by the drive member 6 to the handle 1 and the force applied by the handle opening spring 8 to the handle 1 together enable the handle 1 to be kept in this partially opened position. Figure 4B And Figure 5A When the handle 1 is in the partially opened position shown in Figure 5A , the drive member return spring 7 is, for example, still in a small elastic deformation state, and both the drive member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 are still in the initial positions relative to the base body 11 (for example, see

[0075] When the door lock body is in the pre-opening state, the handle 1 is in a partially open state, and a person can conveniently pull the handle 1 to further rotate around the rotating shaft 10 to reach Figure 4C the fully open position shown. During this rotation process, the first protrusion B1 of the handle 1 contacts and drives the driving member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 to rotate around the first axis A1 toward the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to a first torsion position and a first unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (see Figure 5B ). The traction member swing arm 15 is driven from the Figure 5A initial position shown to the Figure 5B first unlocking position shown. During this process, the traction member swing arm 15 effectively pulls the cable 171 to generate sufficient movement to unlock the door lock body; when the handle 1 is in the fully open position shown in Figure 4C and Figure 5B , the driving member return spring 7 is in a large elastic deformation state.

[0076] After the traction member swing arm 15 reaches the first unlocking position to unlock the door lock body, the human hand can release the handle 1, and the thrust applied by the first protrusion B1 of the handle 1 to the driving member 6 disappears, and the handle returns to the partially open position. At the same time, the driving member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 are driven by the driving member return spring 7 to rotate around the first axis A1 and return to the initial positions of the driving member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 respectively. A person can, for example, operate the switch 2 again, so that the rotating motor 5 receives a closing signal and drives the control member 4 to rotate counterclockwise to the initial position of the control member 4, and then push the handle back to the initial closed state.

[0077] The above describes the unlocking process of the control device of the door lock body provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation method (the upper end of the driving member 6 is installed in the driving member installation through hole of the traction member swing arm 15 biased toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 on the first axis A1 and the cable assembly 17 is fixed to the second edge E2 of the base body 11). It can be understood that the control device of the door lock body provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure can be in the Figures 4A to 5B second installation method shown in Figure 5C , that is, the upper end of the driving member 6 is installed in the driving member installation through hole of the traction member swing arm 15 biased toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 on the first axis A1 and the cable assembly 17 is fixed to the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when a person manually applies an external force to rotate the handle 1, the second protrusion B2 of the handle 1 contacts and drives the driving member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 to rotate around the first axis A1 toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to a second torsion position and a second unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (see Figure 5C)。The traction member swing arm 15 is driven from Figure 5A the initial position shown to Figure 5C the second unlocking position shown. During this process, the effective pulling of the cable 171 by the traction member swing arm 15 generates sufficient movement to unlock the vehicle door lock body. It can be understood that Figure 5B and Figure 5C the states of the traction member swing arm 15 shown relative to the base body 11 in the first unlocking position and the second unlocking position can both correspond to the state where the handle 1 shown in Figure 4C is in the fully open position. When the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is in Figure 5C the second installation method shown, when the hand releases the handle 1, the process of the handle 1 returning to the initial closed state is similar to the process described above when the control device of the vehicle door lock body is in the first installation method, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0078] It can be understood that the control device of the vehicle door lock body assembled in the first installation method is, for example, suitably installed on the left vehicle door, and the control device of the vehicle door lock body assembled in the second installation method is, for example, suitably installed on the right vehicle door. Here, it can be seen that the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applicable to both the left and right vehicle doors at the same time, realizing the universality of the left and right vehicle doors. Since there is no need to develop different molds for the left and right vehicle doors respectively, it further saves costs.

[0079] In another example, the control member 4 and the handle opening spring 8 can be omitted, and the handle rotating shaft 10 is directly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5, and the handle 1 is fixedly connected to the handle rotating shaft 10. For example, there can be no relative rotation between the handle 1 and the handle rotating shaft 10. For example, the handle rotating shaft 10 and the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5 are an integral structure. In this case, the handle control assembly is the rotating motor 5. The rotating motor 5 can directly control the rotation position of the handle 1. For example, under the drive and control of the rotating motor 5, the handle 1 can rotate from the initial closed position to and remain in the partially open position. When the handle 1 remains in the partially open position, the hand can conveniently operate the subsequent unlocking process. In this way, another form of a simpler semi-automatic control device for the vehicle door lock body can be realized. Further, when the torque that the rotating motor 5 can provide is large enough, the handle 1 can be directly driven by the rotating motor 5 to rotate from the partially open position to and remain in the fully open position. At this time, the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in this example can be a fully automatic control device for the vehicle door lock body.

[0080] Some of the following embodiments of the control device for the vehicle door lock body will also include the rotating motor 5. However, there is no limitation here on the torque magnitudes that the rotating motor 5 can provide respectively in each embodiment, as long as it can correspondingly realize its rotational driving function.

[0081] Second Embodiment

[0082] Refer to Figures 6 to 8C , a semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0083] Figure 6 is an exploded view of a semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the second embodiment of the present disclosure. Refer to Figure 6 , the vehicle door lock body control device includes: a handle 1, a switch 2, a sealing strip 3, a control member 4, a rotary motor 5, a driving member 6', a driving member return spring 7', a handle opening spring 8, a bushing 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotating shaft 12, a snap ring 13, a fixing pin 14', a pulling member swing arm 15', a buckle 16, a pulling member assembly 17, a pulling member fixing bracket 18, and a lock core 19.

[0084] The difference between the semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the second embodiment of the present disclosure and the semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure is mainly that: the driving member 6' not on the first axis A1 drives the pulling member swing arm 15 to rotate around the first rotating shaft A1 through a translational movement. The features of the components not described below are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the components with the same reference numerals or shapes in the semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the first embodiment.

[0085] In this embodiment, the swing arm driving assembly includes, for example: a handle 1 and a driving member 6'.

[0086] Refer to Figure 7A , the driving member 6' is installed in the accommodation space of the base body 11. Specifically, the driving member 6' is located in the sliding groove on the bottom 111 of the base body 11.

[0087] Refer to Figure 7A and 7B, the swing arm rotating shaft 12 passes through the through hole of the bottom 111 of the base body 11. One end of the swing arm rotating shaft 12 located in the accommodation space has a limiting portion, and this limiting portion cannot pass through the through hole. Through the snap ring 13, the pulling member swing arm 15' is clamped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The swing arm rotating shaft 12 is restricted at the position of the through hole and can rotate around the first axis A1. The pulling member swing arm 15' is connected to the portion of the swing arm rotating shaft 12 located on the back side of the base body 11 such that the pulling member swing arm 15' and the swing arm rotating shaft 12 can rotate synchronously as a whole around the first axis A1. In another example, the pulling member swing arm 15' and the swing arm rotating shaft 12 may not rotate synchronously as a whole. For example, the swing arm rotating shaft 12 does not rotate, while the pulling member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis A1 with the assistance of the swing arm rotating shaft 12.

[0088] See Figure 7A and 7B , the driving member 6' has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the driving member 6' passes through the strip-shaped through hole of the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and is located on the back side of the bottom 111 of the base body 11. Through the pin fixing pin 14', the driving member 6' is clamped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The second end of the driving member 6" is located in the accommodation space of the base body 11. The first end of the driving member 6' can move back and forth between the opposite ends of the strip-shaped through hole along the first path. The driving member 6' is not located on the first axis A1. One end of the driving member return spring 7' is connected to the bottom 111 of the base body 11, and the other end is connected to the driving member 6', such that the driving member 6' can make the first end located at the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis A1 in the initial position.

[0089] The pulling member swing arm 15' has a first surface 151 and a second surface 152 facing the driving member 6'. For example, both the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 are substantially flat, and the included angle between the two is an obtuse angle. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the shapes and relative positional relationships of the first surface 151 and the second surface 152, as long as they can cooperate with the driving member to drive the rotation of the pulling member swing arm.

[0090] In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving member 6', and a handle opening spring 8.

[0091] See Figure 8A , when the vehicle door lock body is in the initial locked state, due to the control member 4 being in the initial position, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position. One end of the handle opening spring 8 is connected to the base body 11, and its other end abuts against the handle 1. In this state, the handle opening spring 8 is in an elastically deformed state, and the driving member return spring 7' is, for example, in an elastically deformed state. In Figure 8AIn the state shown, when the door lock body is in the initial locked state, both the driving member 6' and the traction member swing arm 15' are in their initial positions relative to the base body 11; when the traction member swing arm 15' is in the initial position, the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' is on the first path of the first end of the driving member 6'; the second surface 152 is in contact with the driving member 6', for example. For example, both the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 are substantially flat surfaces, and the angle between the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 is an obtuse angle, for example.

[0092] When the control member 4 leaves its initial position driven by the rotary motor 5, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to elastic deformation is slowly released, so that the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 can apply a thrust force to cause the handle 1 to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to the partially open position, the protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 are in direct contact with the second end of the driving member 6' at the same time, for example. The force applied by the driving member 6' to the handle 1 and the force applied by the handle opening spring 8 to the handle 1 together enable the handle 1 to be held in this partially open position. When the handle 1 is in the partially open position, the driving member return spring 7' is still in the state of elastic deformation, for example, and both the driving member 6' and the traction member swing arm 15' are still in their initial positions relative to the base body 11 (see Figure 8A ), for example.

[0093] When a person can conveniently pull the handle 1 to further rotate around the rotating shaft 10 to the fully open position, the first and second protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 contact and push the driving member 6' to move from the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis A1 to the second end away from the first axis A1 at the same time. It can be understood that the number and form of the protrusions on the handle 1 are not limited here, as long as the handle 1 can effectively push the driving member during the rotation of the handle 1. During this movement of the driving member 6', the driving member 6' can keep abutting against the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' and slide on the first surface 151, thereby pushing the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate around the first axis A1 towards the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to the first unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (see Figure 8B ). During the process of the traction member swing arm 15' being driven from the initial position to the first unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the cable 171 to generate sufficient movement, thus realizing the unlocking of the door lock body; in Figure 8B the state shown, the driving member return spring 7' is in a large state of elastic deformation.

[0094] After the traction member swing arm 15' reaches the first unlocking position to unlock the vehicle door lock body, the human hand can release the handle 1, and the thrust applied by the protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 to the driving member 6' disappears. At the same time, the driving member 6' is driven by the driving member return spring 7' to move the first end along the first path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole away from the first axis A1 to the first end close to the first axis A1, so that the thrust applied by the driving member 6' on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears. The traction member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis A1 and returns to the corresponding initial position to abut against the first surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15' under the tension of the pulling member assembly 17 on the wire 171, for example.

[0095] As above, refer to Figures 6 to 8B The unlocking process of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the second embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation manner (the traction member swing arm 15' is installed on one side of the driving member 6' close to the first edge E1 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the second edge E2 of the base body 11) is described.

[0096] It can be understood that the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the second embodiment of the present disclosure can be in Figure 8C the second installation manner shown, that is, the traction member swing arm 15' is installed on one side of the driving member 6' close to the second edge E2 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when the human hand manually applies an external force to rotate the handle 1, the two protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 contact and push the driving member 6' to move from the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis A1 to the second end away from the first axis A1. During this movement of the driving member 6', the driving member 6' can remain in contact with and slide on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15', and then push the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate around the first axis A1 towards the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to the second unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (refer to Figure 8C ). During the process of the traction member swing arm 15' being driven from the initial position to the second unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the wire 171 to generate sufficient movement to achieve the unlocking of the vehicle door lock body; in the state shown in 8C, the driving member return spring 7' is in a large elastic deformation state. It can be understood that Figure 8B and Figure 8C the states of the traction member swing arm 15' relative to the base body 11 in the first unlocking position and the second unlocking position shown can both correspond to the state where the handle 1 is in the fully open position.

[0097] After the traction member swing arm 15' reaches the second unlocking position to unlock the vehicle door lock body, the human hand can release the handle 1, and the thrust applied by the protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 to the driving member 6' disappears. At the same time, under the drive of the driving member return spring 7', the driving member 6' moves the first end along the first path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole away from the first axis A1 to the first end close to the first axis A1, so that the thrust applied by the driving member 6' on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears. The traction member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis A1 and returns to the corresponding initial position and abuts against the first surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15' under the tension of the pulling member assembly 17 on the cable 171, for example.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first and second protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 act on the driving member 6' simultaneously. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the number and form of the protrusions on the end of the handle 1 close to the driving member 6' are not limited, as long as the driving member 6' can be effectively pushed by the handle 1. For example, in another example, another protrusion can be used to replace the first and second protrusions B1 and B2 at the same position.

[0099] Although in this embodiment, the second end parts of the traction member swing arm 15' and the driving member 6' are respectively located on opposite sides of the bottom 111 of the base body 11, this embodiment is not limited thereto. In another example, the second end parts of the traction member swing arm 15' and the driving member 6' can also be located on the same side of the base body 11. For example, the second end parts of the traction member swing arm 15' and the driving member 6' are both located in the accommodation space of the base body 11. In this case, the installation positions of the buckle 16, the pulling member assembly 17, and the pulling member fixing bracket 18 can be correspondingly adjusted to the side of the base body 11 facing the handle 1, and the traction member swing arm 15' can be connected to the swing arm rotating shaft 12 on the side of the base body 11 facing the handle 1. In this case, the driving member 6' can, for example, not pass through the bottom 111 of the base body 11, but move back and forth in the strip-shaped groove on the bottom 111 of the base body 11, thereby pushing the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate around the first axis A1.

[0100] Third Embodiment

[0101] See Figures 9 to 11C and the following will describe in detail a semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the third embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0102] Figure 9 is an exploded view of a semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the third embodiment of the present disclosure. See Figure 6, the door lock body control device includes: a handle 1, a switch 2, a sealing strip 3, a control member 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving member 6, a driving member return spring 7, a handle opening spring 8, a bushing 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotating shaft 12, a snap ring 13, a fixing pin 14’, a pulling member swing arm 15’, a buckle 16, a pulling member assembly 17 and a pulling member fixing bracket 18.

[0103] The difference between the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure and the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure is mainly that the driving member 6 does not rotate on the first axis A1 to drive the pulling member swing arm 15 to rotate around the first axis A1. The following mainly describes the features of the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the third embodiment that are different from those of the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment. The features of the components not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the components with the same reference numerals or shapes in the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment.

[0104] In this embodiment, the swing arm driving assembly includes, for example: a handle 1 and a driving member 6.

[0105] See Figure 10A and 10B , the swing arm rotating shaft 12 passes through the through hole at the bottom 111 of the base body 11. One end of the swing arm rotating shaft 12 located in the accommodation space has a limiting portion, and this limiting portion cannot pass through this through hole. The pulling member swing arm 15’ is clamped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 by the snap ring 13. The swing arm rotating shaft 12 is restricted at the position of this through hole and can rotate around the first axis A1. The pulling member swing arm 15’ is connected to the part of the swing arm rotating shaft 12 located on the back side of the base body 11 such that the pulling member swing arm 15’ and the swing arm rotating shaft 12 can rotate synchronously as a whole around the first axis A1. In another example, the pulling member swing arm 15’ and the swing arm rotating shaft 12 may not rotate synchronously as a whole. For example, the swing arm rotating shaft 12 does not rotate, while the pulling member swing arm 15’ rotates around the first axis A1 with the assistance of the swing arm rotating shaft 12.

[0106] See Figure 10B, the driving member 6 in this embodiment has the same structural shape as the driving member 6 in the first embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the driving member 6 is not directly mounted to the pulling member swing arm 15', but is directly mounted on the bottom 111 of the base body 11 away from the first axis A1. The lower end of the driving member 6 passes through the through hole in the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and is located on the back side of the bottom 111 of the base body 11, and a clamping groove is formed on the lower end. Through the cooperation of the pin elastic snap ring 14" and the slot, the driving member 6 is clamped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The driving member 6 can rotate about the second axis A2. Here, the first axis A1 is different from the second axis A2. For example, the first axis A1 is parallel to the second axis A2. For example, the plane where the first axis A1 and the second axis A2 are located is, for example, the symmetry plane of the base body 11. It can be understood that the first axis, the second axis and the symmetry plane in all embodiments of the present disclosure are virtual and are used to describe the positions and structural relationships of related components. The two ends of the first axis and the second axis can extend infinitely in the corresponding linear directions. The symmetry plane can also extend infinitely in the corresponding plane.

[0107] The pulling member swing arm 15' has a second surface 152 facing the driving member 6 and abutting against the driving member 6.

[0108] In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving member 6 and a handle opening spring 8.

[0109] See Figure 11A , when the door lock body is in the initial locked state, since the control member 4 is in the initial position, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position. In this state, both the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15' are in the initial positions relative to the base body 11.

[0110] When the control member 4 is driven by the rotating motor 5 to leave its initial position, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to elastic deformation is slowly released, and the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 can apply a thrust force to cause the handle 1 to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to the partially open position, the protrusion B1 or B2 of the handle 1 contacts the driving member 6, and the force applied by the driving member 6 to the handle 1 and the force applied by the handle opening spring 8 to the handle 1 together enable the handle 1 to be held in the partially open position. When the handle 1 is in the partially open position, the driving member return spring 7, for example, is still in a state of relatively small elastic deformation, and both the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15' are still in the initial positions relative to the base body 11 (for example, see Figure 11A );

[0111] When a person can conveniently pull the handle 1 and further rotate it around the rotating shaft 10 to the fully open position, the first protrusion B1 of the handle 1 contacts and pushes the driving member 6 to rotate around the second axis A2. At this time, the second protrusion B2 of the handle 1 does not contact the driving member 6. During this rotation of the driving member 6, the driving member 6 can remain in contact with the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15' and can slide on the second surface 152, thereby pushing the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate around the first axis A1 towards the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to the first unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (see Figure 11B ). During the process of driving the traction member swing arm 15' from the initial position to the first unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the cable 171 to generate sufficient movement to achieve the unlocking of the vehicle door lock body; in the state shown in 11B, the driving member return spring 7 is in a large elastic deformation state.

[0112] After the traction member swing arm 15' reaches the first unlocking position to unlock the vehicle door lock body, the person's hand can release the handle 1, and the thrust applied by the first protrusion B1 of the handle 1 to the driving member 6 disappears. At the same time, the driving member 6 rotates counterclockwise around the second axis A2 to the initial position under the drive of the driving member return spring 7, so that the thrust applied by the driving member 6 on the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis A1 back to the corresponding initial position, for example, under the tension of the cable 171 by the cable assembly 17.

[0113] The above, see Figures 9 to 11B The unlocking process of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation method is described (the traction member swing arm 15' is installed on the side of the driving member 6 close to the first edge E1, the upper end of the driving member 6 is installed on the bottom 111 of the base body 11 with the second axis A2 biased towards the first edge E1 of the base body 11, and the cable assembly 17 is fixed to the second edge E2 of the base body 11).

[0114] It can be understood that the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure can be in Figure 11CThe second installation method shown is that the traction member swing arm 15' is installed on one side of the driving member 6' close to the second edge E2. The upper end of the driving member 6 is installed on the bottom 111 of the base body 11 with the second axis A2 deviating towards the second edge E2 of the base body 11, and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when a person manually applies an external force to rotate the handle 1, the second protrusion B2 of the handle 1 contacts and pushes the driving member 6 to rotate around the second axis. During this rotation of the driving member 6, the driving member 6 can remain in contact with and slide on the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15', thereby pushing the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate around the first axis A1 towards the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to a second unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (see Figure 11C ). During the process of the traction member swing arm 15' being driven from the initial position to the second unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the wire 171 to generate sufficient movement to achieve the unlocking of the door lock body; in the state shown in 11C, the driving member return spring 7 is in a large elastic deformation state. It can be understood that, Figure 11B and Figure 11C The states in which the traction member swing arm 15' is in the first unlocking position and the second unlocking position relative to the base body 11 can both correspond to the state in which the handle 1 is in the fully open position.

[0115] After the traction member swing arm 15' reaches the second unlocking position to unlock the door lock body, the person's hand can release the handle 1, and the thrust applied by the second protrusion B2 of the handle 1 to the driving member 6 disappears. At the same time, the driving member 6 rotates clockwise around the second axis A2 under the drive of the driving member return spring 7, so that the thrust applied by the driving member 6 on the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis A1 back to the corresponding initial position, for example, under the tension of the pulling member assembly 17 on the wire.

[0116] Fourth Embodiment

[0117] See Figures 12 to 15C For a semi-automatic door lock body control device provided by the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, the following will be described in detail.

[0118] Figure 12 is an exploded view of a semi-automatic door lock body control device provided by the third embodiment of the present disclosure. See Figure 12, the door lock body control device includes: a handle 1', a switch 2, a sealing strip 3, a control member 4, a rotary motor 5, a driving member 6", a driving member return spring 7", a handle opening spring 8, a bushing 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotating shaft 12, a snap ring 13, a pulling member swing arm 15', a buckle 16, a pulling member assembly 17, and a pulling member fixing bracket 18.

[0119] The main difference between the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure and the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the second embodiment of the present disclosure is that the driving member 6" is rotatably connected to the handle rotating shaft 10, and by rotating around the handle rotating shaft 10, one end of the driving member 6" away from the handle rotating shaft 10 pushes the pulling member swing arm 15' to rotate. The following mainly describes the features of the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the fourth embodiment that are different from those of the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the second embodiment. The features of the components not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the components with the same reference numerals or shapes in the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the second embodiment.

[0120] In this embodiment, the swing arm driving assembly includes, for example: a handle 1' and a driving member 6".

[0121] See Figure 13A and 13B , the driving member 6" has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the driving member 6" passes through the strip-shaped through hole at the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and is located on the back side of the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The driving member 6" is rotatably mounted on the handle rotating shaft 10 at the second end. The driving member 6" rotates around the handle rotating shaft 10 so that its first end can move back and forth between the opposite ends of the strip-shaped through hole along a second path. The driving member 6" is not located on the first axis A1, for example. One end of the driving member return spring 7" is connected to the bottom 111 of the base body 11, and the other end is connected to the driving member 6", so that the driving member 6" can make the first end located at the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis A1 in the initial position.

[0122] The pulling member swing arm 15' has a first surface 151 and a second surface 152 facing the driving member 6".

[0123] See Figure 15A , when the door lock body is in the initial locked state, due to the control member 4 being in the initial position, the handle 1' is in the initial closed position. One end of the handle opening spring 8 is connected to the base body 11 or the driving member 6", and the other end abuts against the handle 1'. In this state, the handle opening spring 8 is in a large elastic deformation state, and the driving member return spring 7" is in a small elastic deformation state, for example. In Figure 15AIn the state shown, when the door lock body is in the initial locked state, both the driving member 6" and the traction member swing arm 15' are in their initial positions relative to the base body 11; when the traction member swing arm 15' is in the initial position, the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' is on the second path of the first end of the driving member 6".

[0124] In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4, a rotary motor 5, a driving member 6", and a handle opening spring 8.

[0125] When the control member 4 is driven by the rotary motor 5 to leave its initial position, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to elastic deformation is slowly released, so that the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1' can apply a thrust force to cause the handle 1' to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position. For example, once the handle 1' is pushed to the partially open position, the handle 1' contacts the driving member 6", and the force applied by the driving member 6" to the handle 1' together with the force applied by the handle opening spring 8 to the handle 1' can keep the handle 1' in this partially open position. When the handle 1 is in the partially open position, the driving member return spring 7" is, for example, still in a state of relatively small elastic deformation, and both the driving member 6" and the traction member swing arm 15' are still in their initial positions relative to the base body 11 (see, for example Figure 15A ).

[0126] When a person can conveniently pull the handle 1 further to rotate around the rotating shaft 10 to the fully open position, the end of the handle 1 contacts and pushes the driving member 6" to rotate around the handle rotating shaft 10, thereby pushing the first end of the driving member 6" to move from the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis A1 to the second end away from the first axis A1. During this rotation process of the driving member 6", the first end of the driving member 6" can keep abutting against the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' and sliding on the first surface 151, thereby pushing the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate around the first axis A1 towards the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to the first unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (see Figure 15B ). During the process of driving the traction member swing arm 15' from the initial position to the first unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the wire 171 to generate sufficient movement to achieve the unlocking of the door lock body; in Figure 15B the state shown, the driving member return spring 7" is in a state of relatively large elastic deformation.

[0127] After the traction member swing arm 15' reaches the first unlocking position to unlock the vehicle door lock body, the human hand can release the handle 1, and the thrust applied by the handle 1 to the driving member 6" disappears. At the same time, the second end of the driving member 6" moves along the second path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole far from the first axis A1 to the first end close to the first axis A1 under the drive of the driving member return spring 7", so that the thrust applied by the driving member 6" on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis A1 back to the corresponding initial position, for example, under the tension of the pulling member assembly 17 on the wire 171.

[0128] Above, refer to Figures 12 to 15B The unlocking process of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation manner (the traction member swing arm 15' is installed on the side of the driving member 6" close to the first edge E1 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the second edge E2 of the base body 11) is described.

[0129] It can be understood that the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure can be in Figure 15C the second installation manner shown, that is, the traction member swing arm 15' is installed on the side of the driving member 6" close to the second edge E2 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when the human hand manually applies an external force to rotate the handle 1, the handle 1 contacts and pushes the second end of the driving member 6" to move from the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis A1 to the second end far from the first axis A1. During this movement of the driving member 6", the driving member 6" can keep in contact with and slide on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15', and then push the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate around the first axis A1 toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to the second unlocking position relative to the base body 11 (refer to Figure 15C ). During the process of the traction member swing arm 15' being driven from the initial position to the second unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the wire 171 to generate sufficient movement to achieve the unlocking of the vehicle door lock body; in the state shown in 15C, the driving member return spring 7" is in a large elastic deformation state. It can be understood that Figure 15B and Figure 15C the states of the traction member swing arm 15' relative to the base body 11 in the first unlocking position and the second unlocking position shown can both correspond to the state where the handle 1 is in the fully open position.

[0130] After the traction member swing arm 15' reaches the second unlocking position to unlock the vehicle door lock body, the human hand can release the handle 1, and the thrust applied by the handle 1 to the driving member 6" disappears. At the same time, the first end of the driving member 6" moves along the second path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole away from the first axis A1 to the first end close to the first axis A1 under the drive of the driving member return spring 7", so that the thrust applied by the driving member 6" on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis A1 back to the corresponding initial position under the tension of the pulling member assembly 17 on the wire 171, for example.

[0131] In this embodiment, the handle 1' does not have the two separated protrusions B1 and B2 that the handle 1 has in other embodiments. It can be understood that the number and form of the protrusions on the end of the handle 1' close to the driving member 6" are not limited in this embodiment, as long as the driving member 6" can be effectively pushed by the handle 1'. In another example, the driving member 6" and the handle are integrally formed (i.e., the handle 1 is fixedly connected to the driving member 6"); in this case, the driving member return spring 7' can be omitted.

[0132] Fifth Embodiment

[0133] See Figures 16 to 18C , and a fully manual vehicle door lock body control device provided by the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below.

[0134] Figure 16 is an exploded view of a fully manual vehicle door lock body control device provided by the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure. See Figure 16 , the vehicle door lock body control device includes: a handle 1, a manual button 2', a sealing strip 3, a control member 4', a driving member 6, a driving member return spring 7, a handle return spring 8', a bushing 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a fixing pin 14, a pulling member swing arm 15, a buckle 16, a pulling member assembly 17, a pulling member fixing bracket 18, a lock core 19, an end cover 20, a button return spring 21, a button rotating shaft 22, a transmission member 23, an end cover fixing shaft 24, a control member return spring 25, a control member rotating shaft 26, a transmission member return spring 27, and a transmission member rotating shaft 28.

[0135] The main difference between the fully manual door lock body control device provided in the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure and the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure lies in that: the relevant components and driving methods for driving the handle from the initial closed position to the partially open position are different. The fully manual door lock body control device replaces the motor 5 in the semi-automatic door lock body control device in the above embodiment with a set of mechanical components, and this set of mechanical components replaces the function of the motor 5. For the relevant structures and processes in which the handle is manually rotated from the partially open position to the fully open position to achieve unlocking, the fully manual door lock body control device provided in the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure is substantially the same as the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The following mainly describes the features of the fully manual door lock body control device provided in the fifth embodiment that are different from those of the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment. The features of the components not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the components with the same reference numerals or shapes in the semi-automatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment.

[0136] In this embodiment, the swing arm drive assembly includes, for example: a handle 1 and a drive member 6.

[0137] In the fully manual door lock body control device provided in the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, the button rotating shaft 22, the transmission member rotating shaft 28, and the control member rotating shaft 26 are respectively connected and positioned at different positions on the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11. The relative positions of the button rotating shaft 22, the transmission member rotating shaft 28, and the control member rotating shaft 26 are, for example, fixed. The manual button 2', the transmission member 23, and the control member 4' are respectively rotatably sleeved on the button rotating shaft 22, the transmission member rotating shaft 28, and the control member rotating shaft 26.

[0138] See Figure 18A , the end cover 20 is, for example, connected to the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 to cover the gap between the manual button 2' and the handle 1 and limit the position of the manual button 2'. The button return spring 21 is, for example, further sleeved on the end cover fixing shaft 24. One end of the button return spring 21 is connected to the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 or the end cover 20, and the other end of the button return spring 21 is connected to or abuts against the manual button 2' to hold the manual button 2' in the initial position. When both the manual button 2' and the handle 1 are in their respective initial positions, the outer surface of the manual button 2' is substantially coplanar with the outer surface of the handle 1. When the manual button 2' is driven by an external force to rotate around the button rotating shaft 22 towards the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and leaves its initial position, the button return spring 21 is compressed and undergoes elastic deformation. Once the manual button 2' is released again, the elastically deformed button return spring 21 can push the manual button 2' back to its initial position.

[0139] See Figure 18A, the return spring 27 of the transmission member is sleeved on the transmission member rotating shaft 28. One end of the return spring 27 of the transmission member is connected to or abuts against the bottom 111 of the base body 11, and the other end of the return spring 27 of the transmission member is stuck at the fixed position of the transmission member 23 to hold the transmission member 23 in the initial position. When the transmission member 23 is driven to rotate around the transmission member rotating shaft 28 towards the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and leaves its initial position, the return spring 27 of the transmission member is squeezed and elastically deformed. Once the transmission member 23 is released again, the elastically deformed return spring 27 of the transmission member can push the transmission member 23 back to its initial position.

[0140] See Figure 18A , the return spring 25 of the control member is sleeved on the control member rotating shaft 26. One end of the return spring 25 of the control member is stuck at the fixed position of the control member 4', and one end of the return spring 25 of the control member is in a state of relatively small elastic deformation when the control member 4' is in its initial position. When the control member 4' is driven to rotate around the transmission member rotating shaft 28 towards the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and leaves its initial position, the return spring 25 of the control member is squeezed and elastically deformed. Once the control member 4' is released again, the elastically deformed return spring 25 of the control member can push the control member 4' back to its initial position.

[0141] The return spring 8' of the handle is sleeved on the handle rotating shaft 10. One end of the return spring 8' of the handle is inserted into the slot at the upper end of the driving block 6, and the other end of the return spring 8' of the handle abuts against or is connected to the handle.

[0142] See Figure 18A , a recess 41 is provided on the side of the control member 4' facing the transmission member 23, and a protrusion 42 is provided on the side of the control member 4' facing the limit slot T of the handle. In another example, recesses 41 are symmetrically provided on the side of the control member 4' facing the transmission member 23 and on the side away from the transmission member 23; two protrusions 42 are symmetrically provided on the side of the control member 4' facing the limit slot T of the handle and on the side away from the limit slot T of the handle on the other side. Such a symmetric design is beneficial to the versatility of the control member 4' in two different installation states and is more beneficial to the left and right door universality of the door lock body control device.

[0143] See Figure 17 , compared with the handle 1 in the first embodiment, the handle 1 in this embodiment is further provided with grooves T on the first protrusion B1 and the second protrusion B2, which are configured to cooperate with the protrusions 42 of the control member 4' to limit the rotation of the handle 1 and hold the handle 1 in the partially open position. The two separate limit slots T can be symmetrically arranged with each other.

[0144] Figures 18A to 18CSchematic diagram of the unlocking process of the fully manual door lock body control device provided by the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure via the pre-opening state of the door lock body. Figure 18A In this case, the door lock body is in the initial locked state; Figure 18B In this case, the door lock body is in the pre-opening state (the door lock body is still in the locked state at this time); Figure 18C In this case, the door lock body is in the unlocked state.

[0145] In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4', a manual button 2', a transmission member 23, and a limit groove T.

[0146] See Figure 18A , when the door lock body is in the initial locked state, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position. Since the control member 4' abuts against the end of the handle 1 close to the control member 4' in the initial position, the handle 1 cannot rotate around the handle rotation shaft 10, and the handle is restricted to the initial closed position, and the handle cannot be opened by an external force. In Figure 18A In the state shown, the handle return spring 8' and the driving member return spring 7 are both in a relatively small elastic deformation state, the driving member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 are both in the initial positions relative to the base body 11, and the protrusion 42 of the control arm 4' is located in the limit groove T of the handle 1.

[0147] See Figure 18A and 18B , when a person presses the button switch 2' with a hand, the button switch 2' rotates clockwise around the button rotation shaft 22. During this rotation process, the button switch 2' first pushes the transmission member 23 to rotate clockwise around the transmission member rotation shaft 28, and the transmission member 23 simultaneously pushes the control member 4' to rotate clockwise around the control member rotation shaft 26 and leave its initial position, so that the button switch 2' can further press the end of the handle 1 close to the button switch 2' to make the handle 1 rotate counterclockwise around the handle rotation shaft 10 to reach the partially open position; during the process of the transmission member 23 pushing the control member 4' to rotate clockwise around the control member rotation shaft 26 and leave its initial position, the end of the transmission member 23 slides on the control member 4'. When this end of the transmission member 23 slides into the recess 41 of the control member 4', the relative positions of the transmission member 23 and the control member 4' are locked. See Figure 18B .

[0148] When the control member 4' rotates clockwise from its initial position to Figure 18BDuring the process of reaching the limiting position, the protrusion 42 of the control member 4' moves along the limiting groove T of the handle 1 towards the direction close to the handle rotation shaft 10, thereby driving the handle 1 to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position. The sizes of the protrusion 42 of the control member 4' and the limiting groove T of the handle can be matched with each other such that the relative positions of the control member 4' and the handle 1 are in one-to-one correspondence within a certain position range. That is, when the control member 4' is at a certain position within this position range, the handle 1 correspondingly is at a preset position. In this way, the position of the handle 1 can be controlled by controlling the position of the control member 4'. In this embodiment, the protrusion 42 of the control member 4', the limiting groove T of the handle 1, and the button switch 2' simultaneously serve as the handle control assembly to drive the handle 1 to the partially open position and hold it at this partially open position, but the driving and limiting methods for the handle 1 are not limited here. In other embodiments, other forms of handle control assemblies can also be used to drive and limit the handle 1 based on the self-locking principle of mechanical components and the principle of moment balance, so that it can be controlled to be held at the closed position, the partially open position, and the fully open position.

[0149] In Figure 18B In the state shown, due to the existence of the first interlocking structure (the recess 41 of the control member 4' and the end of the transmission member 23 that cooperate with each other) and the second interlocking structure (the protrusion 42 of the control member 4' and the groove T of the handle that cooperate with each other), if the human hand releases the button switch 2', the button switch 2' returns to its initial position under the push of the button return spring 21, while the transmission member 23, the control member 4', and the handle 1 still remain at Figure 18B the corresponding positions shown. In this way, it is convenient for a person to operate with one hand to achieve the pre-opening state and the unlocking state of the vehicle door lock body.

[0150] In this embodiment, during the process of the handle 1 leaving its initial position and reaching the partially open position, the handle return spring 8' undergoes elastic deformation. Figure 18B When the handle 1 is in the state of the partially open position shown, the handle return spring 8' is in a state of large elastic deformation, and the driving member return spring 7, for example, is still in a state of small elastic deformation. The driving member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 both remain at the initial positions relative to the base body 11;

[0151] In this embodiment, after the vehicle door lock body is in the pre-opening state and the handle 1 is in the partially open state, manually pulling the handle 1 to further achieve the unlocking process of the vehicle door lock body and the subsequent process of the handle 1 being released and returning to its initial closed position are the same as those in the first embodiment with reference to Figure 4C, the corresponding processes described in 5B and 5C are substantially the same. In this process, the difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is only that: when the handle 1 rotates from the partially open position to the fully open position, the pushing control member 4' releases the relative position locking state with the transmission member 23, and the transmission member 23 returns to its initial position under the push of the transmission member return spring 27, and the control member return spring 25 undergoes elastic deformation; when the handle 1 is released, under the push of the handle return spring 8', the handle 1 rotates from the fully open position to its initial closed position, and at the same time, the control member 4' returns to its initial position under the drive of the control member return spring 25.

[0152] Although in the technical solution of the above fifth embodiment, the manual button 2' drives the transmission member 23 and the control member 4' to rotate by its own rotation, and then drives the handle 1 to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position, the fully manual vehicle door lock body control device provided by the fifth embodiment is not limited to this.

[0153] In another example of the fully manual vehicle door lock body control device provided by the fifth embodiment, the transmission member 23' and the control member 4'' can be driven to rotate by the movement of the manual button 2', and then the handle 1 is driven to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position. In this example, the manual button 2'', the transmission member 23', the control member 4'', and the handle opening spring are used to replace the manual button 2', the transmission member 23, the control member 4', and the handle return spring 8' in the above embodiment. In this case, the handle control assembly includes, for example: the manual button 2'', the transmission member 23', the control member 4'', the driving member 6, and the handle opening spring. The handle opening spring in this example can be the handle opening spring 8 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0154] See Figure 19A and 19B, the manual button 2" is connected to the base body 11 through a spring 40. Under the action of an external force, the manual button 2" can, for example, make a reciprocating linear motion in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 111 of the base body 11. By pressing the manual button 2" to move it downward, the end of the manual button 2" closest to the transmission member 23' can push the transmission member 23' to rotate around the transmission member rotation shaft 28. During this process, the end of the transmission member 23' facing the control member 4" slides on the surface of the control member 4" and pushes the control member 4" to rotate away from its initial position. Since the control member 4" leaves its initial position, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to elastic deformation is slowly released, so that one end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 can apply a thrust force to make the handle 1 rotate from the initial closed position towards the partially open position. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to the partially open position, the end of the handle 1 directly contacts the driving member 6, and the force applied by the driving member 6 to the handle 1 and the force applied by the handle opening spring 8 to the handle 1 together enable the handle 1 to be held in this partially open position. During the simultaneous rotation of the transmission member 23' and the control member 4", the end of the transmission member 23' enters the recess of the control member 4". When the end of the transmission member 23' is located in the recess of the control member 4", the relative positions of the transmission member 23' and the control member 4" are locked. At this time, the handle 1 can still be held in this partially open position. It is possible to rotate the handle 1 from the above-mentioned initial closed position to the above-mentioned partially open position.

[0155] Sixth Embodiment

[0156] See Figures 20 to 22C , a fully automatic door lock body control device provided by the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0157] Figure 20 is an exploded view of a fully automatic door lock body control device provided by the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. See Figure 20 , the door lock body control device includes: a handle 1", a switch 2, a sealing strip 3, a rotary motor 5, a driving member 34, a handle return spring 8', a bushing 9, a handle rotation shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotation shaft 12, a snap ring 13, a pulling member swing arm 15", a buckle 16, a pulling member assembly 17, a pulling member fixing bracket 18, and a robotic arm 35.

[0158] The main differences between the fully automatic door lock body control device provided in the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure and the door lock body control device provided in the above embodiments of the present disclosure are as follows: The handle 1" does not have a partially open position and a fully open position and is always in the closed position; the door lock body does not have a pre-opening state; and the rotating motor 5 and the driving member 34 are used to control the rotation of the pulling member swing arm 15". The fully automatic door lock body control device mainly replaces the related components that cooperate with the hand to achieve unlocking in the semi-automatic door lock body control device or the fully manual door lock body control device with a motor. The following mainly describes the characteristics of the components of the fully manual door lock body control device provided in the sixth embodiment that are different from the components of the door lock body control device provided in the above embodiments. The characteristics of the components not described are substantially the same as the corresponding characteristics of the components with the same reference numerals or shapes in the door lock body control device provided in the above embodiments.

[0159] See Figure 21A and 21B , the pulling member swing arm 15" is connected to the bottom of the base body 11 and can rotate about the first axis A1. The rotating motor 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base body 11, for example, and the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5 passes through the bottom of the base body 11. The driving member 34 is directly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5 on the back side of the bottom of the base body 11 and can rotate about the second axis A2 synchronously with the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5. The robotic arm 35 can be arranged on the side of the rotating motor 5 away from the bottom of the base body 11, and the robotic arm 35 is directly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5. The rotation of the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5 can be controlled by operating the robotic arm 35.

[0160] The following see Figures 22A to 22C Describe the control process of the fully automatic door lock body control device provided in the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure for the locking and unlocking states of the door lock body.

[0161] In this embodiment, the swing arm drive assembly includes, for example: the rotating motor 5 and the driving member 34.

[0162] See Figure 22A and 22B , in the first installation method of the door lock body control device provided in the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure, the pulling member swing arm 15" is located on the side of the control member 34 close to the first edge E1 of the base body 11, and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the second edge E2 of the base body 11. In Figure 22AShows a state where both the control member 34 and the pulling member swing arm 15" are in their initial positions, and at this time the vehicle door lock body is in the locked state. In this case, after receiving the opening signal from the switch 2, the rotary motor 5 drives the rotation of its rotating shaft. The rotation of the rotating shaft drives the control member 34 to rotate counterclockwise and pushes the pulling member swing arm 15" to rotate towards the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to reach the first unlocking position relative to the base body 11. The pulling member swing arm 15" effectively pulls the cable 171 at the first unlocking position to generate sufficient movement to unlock the vehicle door lock body. After receiving the closing signal from the switch 2, the rotary motor 5 drives the reverse rotation of its rotating shaft, so that the rotating shaft drives the control member 34 to rotate clockwise to its initial position, and the pulling member swing arm 15" returns to its initial position under the pulling of the cable 171.

[0163] See Figure 22C , in the second installation method of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure, the pulling member swing arm 15" is located on the side of the control member 34 close to the second edge E1 of the base body 11, and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed on the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, after receiving the opening signal from the switch 2, the rotary motor 5 drives the rotation of its rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drives the control member 34 to rotate clockwise and pushes the pulling member swing arm 15" to rotate towards the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to reach the second unlocking position relative to the base body 11. The pulling member swing arm 15" effectively pulls the cable 171 at the second unlocking position to generate sufficient movement to unlock the vehicle door lock body. After receiving, for example, the closing signal from the switch 2, the rotary motor 5 drives the reverse rotation of its rotating shaft, so that the rotating shaft drives the control member 34 to rotate counterclockwise to its initial position, and the pulling member swing arm 15" returns to its initial position under the pulling of the cable 171.

[0164] The above describes the operation process of the control device of the fully automatic vehicle door lock body provided by this embodiment in the normal mode. If the rotary motor 5 fails and cannot automatically control the rotation of the rotating shaft, the expected rotation of the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 5 can be achieved by uncovering the handle 1" and manually operating the robotic arm 35.

[0165] It can be understood that in another example, the handle 1" can be a cover body made of the same material and color as the vehicle door housing. The presence of the cover body is for operating the robotic arm 35 in an emergency state. In yet another example, the cover body is not necessary either. The control device of the vehicle door lock body is installed below the vehicle door housing, and the control device of the vehicle door lock body cannot be seen from the outside of the vehicle door.

[0166] Seventh Embodiment

[0167] See Figures 23 to 25C, the following details a fully automatic door lock body control device provided by the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0168] Figure 23 It is an exploded view of a fully automatic door lock body control device provided by the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure. Refer to Figure 23 , the door lock body control device includes: handle 1", switch 2, sealing strip 3, rotary motor 5, handle return spring 8', bushing 9, handle rotating shaft 10, base body 11, swing arm rotating shaft 12, snap ring 13, pulling member swing arm 15"', buckle 16, pulling member assembly 17, pulling member fixing bracket 18, lock core 19 and robotic arm 35.

[0169] The main difference between the fully automatic door lock body control device provided by the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure and the door lock body control device provided by the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure is that: the rotary motor 5 is directly connected to control the rotation of the pulling member swing arm 15"'. The following mainly describes the characteristics of the components of the fully manual door lock body control device provided by the seventh embodiment that are different from the components of the door lock body control device provided by the above embodiment. The corresponding characteristics of the components with the same reference numerals or shapes that are not described are substantially the same as those of the components of the door lock body control device provided by the sixth embodiment.

[0170] Refer to Figure 24 , for example, the rotary motor 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base body 11, and the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 5 passes through the bottom of the base body 11. The pulling member swing arm 15" is directly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 5 on the back side of the bottom of the base body 11 and can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 5 around the second axis A1. The robotic arm 35 can be arranged on one side of the rotary motor 5 away from the bottom of the base body 11, and the robotic arm 35 is directly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 5. By operating the robotic arm 35, the rotation of the rotating shaft of the rotary motor 5 can be controlled. The pulling member swing arm 15"' has a disc shape.

[0171] The following refers to Figures 25A to 25C to describe the control process of the fully automatic door lock body control device provided by the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure for the locked and unlocked states of the door lock body.

[0172] In this embodiment, the swing arm drive assembly includes, for example, the rotary motor 5.

[0173] Refer to Figure 25A and 25B , in the first installation method of the control device of the door lock body provided by the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure, the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the second edge E2 of the base body 11. In Figure 25AThe state where the pulling member swing arm 15”’ is in its initial position is shown, at this time the vehicle door lock body is in the locked state. In this case, after receiving the opening signal from the switch 2, the rotating motor 5 drives the rotation of its rotating shaft. The rotation of the rotating shaft drives the pulling member swing arm 15”’ to rotate towards the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to reach the first unlocking position relative to the base body 11. The pulling member swing arm 15”’ effectively pulls the cable 171 in the first unlocking position to generate sufficient movement so as to realize the unlocking of the vehicle door lock body. After receiving the closing signal from the switch 2, the rotating motor 5 drives the reverse rotation of its rotating shaft, so that the pulling member swing arm 15”’ returns to its initial position under the pulling of the cable 171.

[0174] See Figure 25C , in the second installation method of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the seventh embodiment of the present disclosure, the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, after receiving the opening signal from the switch 2, the rotating motor 5 drives the rotation of its rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drives the pulling member swing arm 15”’ to rotate towards the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to reach the second unlocking position relative to the base body 11. The pulling member swing arm 15”’ effectively pulls the cable 171 in the second unlocking position to generate sufficient movement so as to realize the unlocking of the vehicle door lock body. After receiving the closing signal from the switch 2, the rotating motor 5 drives the reverse rotation of its rotating shaft, so that the pulling member swing arm 15”’ returns to its initial position under the pulling of the cable 171.

[0175] In any of the above embodiments, see Figure 26A and 26B A lock core installation through hole for installing the lock core 19 may be provided at the bottom of the base body 11. When it is necessary to install the lock core 19 on the base body 11, the lock core 19 can be installed on the base body 11 through this lock core installation through hole. If it is not necessary to install the lock core 19 on the base body 11, a covering member 32 can be combined with this lock core installation through hole to cover it. In addition, although the lock core installation through hole shown here has a circular shape, in another example, the installation through hole can have a non-circular shape, such as square.

[0176] In addition, although in the above embodiments, the pulling member assembly 17 is embodied in the form of a cable assembly 17, and the pulling member is also embodied in the form of a cable 171, it can be understood that in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the pulling member assembly 17 is embodied in the form of a rod assembly 17, and the pulling member is also embodied in the form of a rod.

[0177] The following describes the advantages of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure:

[0178] 1. Solve the problem of poor operability: By means of the self-locking structure of mechanical components and the principle of "moment balance", the handle is kept in a partially open position, increasing the convenience of operation; with a simple mechanical self-locking mechanism, the pre-opening of the handle can be maintained, making the operation more convenient and having the functions only available in electric outer handles;

[0179] 2. Solve the problems of complex structure and high cost: By simplifying the mechanical structure and making clever use of the functions of springs and motors, both the structure can be simplified and the performance reliability can be satisfied, achieving the purpose of cost reduction;

[0180] 3. Solve the problem of poor adaptability: With the "plug-and-play" structure, the handle can be applicable to the lock bodies of two platforms with cable opening and rod opening without re-development;

[0181] 4. Solve the problem of poor generalization: By adopting the principle of "function reservation", the outer handle can be made universal for left / right side doors without opening another mold;

[0182] 5. Add fully automated functions: By pressing the opening button, the fully automatic outer handle can directly unlock the car door without opening the handle;

[0183] 6. By using a simple control component to hold the handle, the regulatory requirements can be met;

[0184] 7. Only by using a rotating motor to rotate the limit arm can the handle be automatically opened to the pre-opening state, realizing the pre-opening without overcoming any spring resistance. Therefore, the structure is simplified and the cost is reduced; there is no need to add additional components, and only by reducing the rotation speed of the motor can the damping effect be achieved;

[0185] 8. By installing a cable bracket, it can be applicable to the lock body with cable opening, and by removing the cable installation bracket, it can be applicable to the lock body with rod opening;
