Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to an automatic handle reset mechanism and a hidden handle. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their dependence on automobiles becomes increasingly evident, and demands for the appearance and functionality of automotive components are also increasing. Automotive exterior handles are a crucial component of the door system. Traditional exterior handle assemblies primarily consist of the exterior handle grip, exterior handle cover, exterior handle bracket, exterior handle connecting rod, and door lock cylinder.

[0003] Most car door handles are exposed and protruding. This design challenge presents numerous limitations, as the handle's shape must match the vehicle's exterior to maintain a positive appearance. Furthermore, because the handle is exposed, both the inside and outside of the handle are easily contaminated, making it easy for the driver to dirty their hands when opening the door. Furthermore, the protruding handle not only detracts from the vehicle's exterior appearance but also creates a certain amount of wind resistance, increasing driving resistance and wind noise. To address this, many manufacturers have improved the handle structure, creating retractable, concealed handles. To address these issues, some manufacturers have introduced concealed exterior handles. Concealed exterior handles generally have three states: an initial, concealed state, a pre-deployed state, and a fully deployed state.

[0004] The reset structure of the handle portion of existing concealed handles is very simple. For example, patent document CN111827810A discloses a concealed exterior door handle assembly for automobiles, comprising a base, a handle, and a drive mechanism. One end of the handle rotates relative to the base about a first connecting axis to enable the handle to switch between a concealed position and an extended position relative to the base. The drive mechanism is configured to drive the handle from the concealed position to the extended position. The drive mechanism comprises an electromagnetic catapult and a connecting rod. The electromagnetic catapult comprises a catapult housing, a movable iron core, and an induction coil surrounding the movable iron core. The induction coil is energized and controlled by a vehicle control center. The connecting rod is connected to the base by rotation about a second connecting axis. One end of the connecting rod is transmission-connected to one end of the movable iron core, and the other end is transmission-connected to the handle. When the induction coil is energized, the movable iron core ejects outward along the length of the catapult housing and drives the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn propels the handle out of the exterior surface of the vehicle door. In which, the hidden automobile exterior door handle assembly also includes a handle reset elastic member, one end of the handle reset elastic member is connected to the base, and the other end of the handle reset elastic member is connected to the handle. When the induction coil is powered off, the handle is reset under the elastic force of the handle reset elastic member.

[0005] It can be seen that in the existing hidden vehicle door handles, in order to achieve the reset of the handle, a handle reset elastic member (torsion spring) is sleeved on the connecting shaft between the handle and the handle base. During use, the handle reset elastic member (torsion spring) is compressed, and after releasing the hand, the handle is reset by the elastic force accumulated by the handle reset elastic member (torsion spring). Such handles have at least the following deficiencies: First, the torsion spring is arranged on the vertical plane, and the handle moves in the horizontal direction, so the torsion spring and the handle are perpendicular to each other; if the torsion spring force is set small, the handle reset may be relatively slow or even unable to be reset in place; if the torsion spring force is set large, the handle resets too quickly and is even prone to collision damage. Second, after repeated use, the torsion spring itself is prone to product fatigue, resulting in poor reliability during the handle reset, being prone to failures and even unable to be used normally; Third, the hidden handle has at least an initial position state, a pre-deployment position state, and an unlocking position state. In the prior art, if the hidden handle is to be kept in the pre-deployment position state, the actuator component needs to continuously work to provide position support for the handle body, thus increasing the load on the actuator, and during use, the user may manually close the handle body in the reverse direction, which is prone to damage the actuator. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the above deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a handle automatic reset mechanism and a hidden handle.

[0016] When the end of the guiding hook needle is in the holding position, it corresponds to the initial state in which the handle automatic reset mechanism is located; when the end of the guiding hook needle is at the front end of the returning guiding section, it corresponds to the driving state in which the handle automatic reset mechanism is located; when the end of the guiding hook needle is at the rear end of the returning guiding section, it corresponds to the back pressure state in which the handle automatic reset mechanism is located.

[0017] The further setting of the above technical solution is that: the driving guiding section is gradually inclined downward from back to front, and there is a guiding ramp surface near the holding position of the driving guiding section; the returning guiding section is gradually inclined downward from front to back;

[0018] There is a first step arranged in the front-back direction at the intersection of the driving guiding section and the returning guiding section, and the side of the first step close to the driving guiding section is the high point;

[0019] There is a second step arranged in the up-down direction in the middle section of the returning guiding section, and the side of the second step close to the front end of the returning guiding section is the high point;

[0020] There is a third step arranged in the front-back direction at the lower end of the holding position, and the side of the third step close to the returning guiding section is the high point;

[0021] There is a fourth step arranged in the front-back direction at the upper end of the holding position, and the side of the fourth step close to the holding position is the high point.

[0022] The further setting of the above technical solution is that: the reset rod is rotatably arranged in the installation cavity, and the first linkage end and the second linkage end are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotation center of the reset rod.

[0023] The further setting of the above technical solution is that: an electric locking component for locking the push rod is also arranged in the installation cavity, and the electric locking component is in communication connection with the vehicle electronic control system.

[0024] The further setting of the above technical solution is that: the electric locking component sequentially includes a motor, a transmission component and a locking part, a locking groove is formed on the push rod, and the locking part can be inserted into the locking groove so that the locking part and the push rod form a limiting fit.

At this time, the elastic reset part drives the push rod to reset together under the action of its own elastic force, and at the same time drives the reset rod to move to its original position.

[0055] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 20 , a handle automatic reset mechanism, having at least an initial state, a driving state and a back pressure state, including:

[0057] Mounting cavity 1;

[0058] A push rod 2 is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 1;

[0059] an elastic reset member 3 acting on the push rod 2;

[0060] A guide hook 4 is provided on the push rod 2 with a guide groove 5. One end of the guide hook 4 is fixed to the mounting cavity 1, and the other end is slidably arranged in the guide groove 5 and can move along the track of the guide groove 5.

[0061] The reset rod 6 is movably arranged in the installation cavity 1. The reset rod 6 has a first linkage end 7 and a second linkage end 8. The first linkage end 7 is connected to the push rod 2, and the second linkage end 8 is transmission-connected to the handle.

[0062] The above content is the basic scheme of the automatic reset mechanism of the handle in the present invention. Its working principle when in use (the handle body moves outward) is: the second linkage end 8 is subjected to force to make the reset rod 6 active, that is, the push rod 2 is driven to move along a predetermined trajectory (the cooperation between the guide hook 4 and the guide groove 5) through the first linkage end 7. When the push rod 2 moves, the elastic reset part 3 on the push rod 2 is compressed; after use (releasing the handle body), the second linkage end 8 is no longer subjected to force and is released. At this time, the elastic reset part 3 drives the push rod 2 to reset together under the action of its own elastic force, and at the same time drives the reset rod 6 to move to its initial position.

[0063] The elastic resetting member 3 preferably adopts the form of a linear spring and has good stability. On the other hand, there are also various installation methods for the elastic resetting member 3. For example, it can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the push rod 2, etc. However, considering various factors such as the installation space, the degree of interference during use, and the long-term stability, the following preferred structural scheme is proposed in the present invention. Specifically, the push rod 2 has a push rod inner cavity 9, the elastic resetting member 3 is arranged in the push rod inner cavity 9, and one end of the elastic resetting member 3 abuts against the cavity wall of the push rod inner cavity 9, and the other end can abut against the driving rib 10. The elastic resetting member 3 is built into the push rod 2, so that the size after the two are assembled is the same as that of a single push rod 2, and it will not occupy too much space. On the other hand, the push rod inner cavity 9 plays a protective role for the elastic resetting member 3, which can prevent impurities from entering and interfering with the movement of the elastic resetting member 3, so as to ensure the normal use of the elastic resetting member 3 for a long time.

[0064] Furthermore, a driving groove 11 communicating with the push rod inner cavity 9 is formed on the push rod 2, a driving rib 10 protrudes in the installation cavity 1, and the driving rib 10 extends into the push rod inner cavity 9 through the driving groove 11. During the movement of the push rod 2, the positional relationship between the driving rib 10 and the elastic resetting member 3 changes and can compress or release the elastic resetting member 3.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the guiding groove 5 has a driving guiding section 12 and a returning guiding section 13 and is in the shape of a lying "person", and a holding position 14 is also provided in the driving guiding section 12, and the end of the guiding hook needle 4 can continuously stay in the holding position 14. When the guiding groove 5 adopts the above form, the situation during use is as follows: when the end of the guiding hook needle 4 is in the holding position 14, it corresponds to the initial state of the handle automatic reset mechanism; when the end of the guiding hook needle 4 is at the front end of the returning guiding section 13, it corresponds to the driving state of the handle automatic reset mechanism; when the end of the guiding hook needle 4 is at the rear end of the returning guiding section 13, it corresponds to the back pressure state of the handle automatic reset mechanism.

[0066] Specifically, in order to make the movement of the guiding hook needle 4 in the guiding groove 5 smoother and more regular, the driving guiding section 12 is gradually inclined downward from back to front, and a guiding slope surface 15 is provided near the holding position 14 of the driving guiding section 12; the returning guiding section 13 is gradually inclined downward from front to back. Among them, the inclination of the guiding slope surface 15 is greater than the inclination of the driving guiding section 12, so that the guiding hook needle 4 is more likely to move from the holding position 14 to the driving guiding section 12 under the driving force;

[0067] At the intersection of the driving and guiding section 12 and the return guiding section 13, there is a first step 26 arranged in the front-back direction, and the side of the first step 26 close to the driving and guiding section 12 is the high point; the setting of the first step 26 enables the guiding hook needle 4 to only move from the driving and guiding section 12 to the return guiding section 13 when moving at the position where the first step 26 is located.

[0068] In the middle section of the return guiding section 13, there is a second step 27 arranged in the up-down direction, and the side of the second step 27 close to the front end of the return guiding section 13 is the high point; the setting of the second step 27 enables the guiding hook needle 4 to only move from the front end of the return guiding section 13 to the rear end of the return guiding section 13 when moving at the position where the second step 27 is located.

[0069] At the lower end of the holding position 14, there is a third step 28 arranged in the front-back direction, and the side of the third step 28 close to the return guiding section 13 is the high point; the setting of the third step 28 enables the guiding hook needle 4 to only move from the return guiding section 13 to the holding position 14 when moving at the position where the third step 28 is located.

[0070] At the upper end of the holding position 14, there is a fourth step 29 arranged in the front-back direction, and the side of the fourth step 29 close to the holding position is the high point; the setting of the fourth step 29 enables the guiding hook needle 4 to only move from the holding position 14 to the driving and guiding section 12 when moving at the position where the fourth step 29 is located.

[0071] Above, the settings of the first step 26, the second step 27, the third step 28 and the fourth step 29 are all to enable the guiding hook needle 4 to move along a predetermined trajectory when moving in the guiding groove 5, and at the same time to realize the cycle of the guiding hook needle 4 among the holding position, the driving and guiding section 12 and the return guiding section 13.

[0072] The specific installation method of the reset rod 6 in the installation cavity 1 is as follows: the reset rod 6 is rotatably arranged in the installation cavity 1, and the first linkage end 7 and the second linkage end 8 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rotation center of the reset rod 6. When in use, when the second linkage end 8 moves forward, the first linkage end 7 will drive the push rod 2 to move backward; when the push rod 2 (elastic reset member 3) drives the first linkage end 7 to move forward, the second linkage end 8 will move backward.

[0073] In order to increase the safety performance and limit the movement of the handle main body or the handle automatic reset mechanism to prevent it from being accidentally opened, this embodiment provides a locking and limiting structure, specifically: an electric locking component for locking the push rod 2 is further provided in the installation cavity 1, and the electric locking component is communicatively connected to the vehicle electronic control system.

[0074] The above technical solution is further configured as follows: the electric locking assembly includes a motor 16, a transmission assembly, and a locking member 17 in sequence; the push rod 2 is provided with a locking groove 18, into which the locking member 17 can be inserted, so that the locking member 17 and the push rod 2 form a limited fit. The transmission assembly includes an output gear 19, a non-standard ring gear 20, and a transmission cam 21; the output gear 19 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 16, the non-standard ring gear 20 meshes with the output gear 19 for transmission, and the transmission cam 21 is connected to the output end of the non-standard ring gear 20; the locking member 17 is provided with a driven groove 22, in which the transmission cam 21 is disposed, and abuts against the locking member 17 to drive the locking member 17 forward or backward. The electric locking assembly mentioned in the above content uses many non-standard components, which makes the overall structure after assembly more compact, increases the safety of the mechanism, and has higher stability. It also reduces the friction and interference between the moving mechanisms, effectively reduces the impact force, and thus improves the overall service life, safety and comfort of the product.

[0075] The above technical solution is further configured as follows: a return torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the output end of the non-standard ring gear 20, and the other end of the return torsion spring 23 is fixedly connected to the locking member 17. When the handle automatic return mechanism returns from the back pressure state to the initial state, the elastic return force of the return torsion spring 23 can automatically push the locking member 17 toward the push rod 2, so that the locking member 17 automatically engages with the locking groove 18, realizing the automatic locking function.

[0076] The present invention also provides a hidden handle, comprising: a handle base 24, which is installed in the vehicle body; a handle body 25, which is installed in the handle base 24 and has at least an initial position state, a pre-expanded position state, and an unlocked position state; and also includes the handle automatic reset mechanism as described above, wherein the handle base 24 is formed with the mounting cavity 1, and the handle body 25 is transmission-connected to the second linkage end 8 of the reset rod 6.

[0077] The state correspondence between the hidden handle and the handle automatic reset mechanism in the present invention is: when the handle body 25 is in the initial position state, the corresponding handle automatic reset mechanism is in the initial state, and the handle body 25 is hidden in the car door; when the handle body 25 is in the pre-extended position state, the corresponding handle automatic reset mechanism is in the driving state, and the handle body 25 is slightly tilted relative to the car door to facilitate the user to hold and operate the handle body 25; when the handle body 25 is in the unlocked position state, the corresponding handle automatic reset mechanism is in the back pressure state, and the handle body 25 is greatly tilted relative to the car door, and the car door can be opened.

[0078] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any limitations on the present invention. Any simple modifications, changes, and equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
