[0022] The present invention also proposes an automobile including the aforementioned door opening switch.

[0023] The aforementioned door opening switch has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The technical solution of this invention employs a base, a button, a mechanical lock, and a driving component. The button is movably mounted on the base to move closer to and further away from the base. The mechanical lock is equipped with a door lock cable. The driving component includes a rotating body rotatably connected to the base, and a first trigger part and an activation part arranged at intervals around the rotation direction of the rotating body.

[0038] This invention proposes an inside door opening switch.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment of the present invention, the door opening switch includes a base 100, a button 200, a mechanical lock 300, and a drive member 400. The button 200 is movably disposed on the base 100 to move closer to and further away from the base 100. The mechanical lock 300 is provided with a door lock cable 310. The drive member 400 includes a rotating body 410 rotatably connected to the base 100, and a first trigger part 430 and an activation part arranged at intervals around the rotation direction of the rotating body. The button 200 drives the activation part, and the door lock cable 310 is disposed on the first trigger part.

[0040] Specifically, the button 200 is movably mounted on the base 100, allowing it to move closer to and further away from the base 100. The rotating body 410 of the drive unit 400 is rotatably mounted on the base 100. The button 200 drives the actuation unit. It can be understood that as the button 200 moves closer to and further away from the base plate, it also drives the actuation unit to move closer to and further away from the base plate, which in turn drives the first trigger part 430 mounted on the rotating body 410 in the direction of rotation of the rotating body. That is, when the button 200 is pressed, the first trigger part 430 moves, activating the door lock cable 310 connected to it, thereby enabling the door to be opened from the inside. Even if the user's hands are not free, they can use their elbow to press and open the door. Therefore, the door opening switch structure of this invention is simple and operates smoothly. Users only need to press lightly to quickly unlock the door, effectively improving the convenience of opening the door from the inside.

[0041] Optionally, in one embodiment, the driving member 400 further includes a second trigger part 440 disposed on the rotating body 410 and spaced apart from the first trigger part 430 in the rotation direction of the rotating body 410. The second trigger part 440 is used to trigger the switch trigger of the electronic lock. It can be understood that when the starting part is activated by the button 200, it will drive the first trigger part 430 and the second trigger part 440. At this time, the second trigger part 440 will trigger the switch trigger to emit an electrical signal to unlock the door; the first trigger part 430 will pull the door lock cable 310, thereby unlocking the door. As can be seen, the door interior opening switch, which integrates the mechanical lock 300 and the electronic lock, allows a single button 200 to control both the electronic lock and the mechanical lock 300 simultaneously. When the electronic lock loses power, the mechanical lock 300 is activated to open the door from the inside. This avoids the safety issue of the door being unable to open from the inside if either the electronic lock or the mechanical lock 300 is damaged. Such a door interior opening switch is not only simple and easy to control, but also takes up less space than having independently controlled electronic and mechanical locks on the door. This allows for a smaller, lighter, cheaper, more precise, and more convenient door interior opening switch. Moreover, the mechanical lock 300 in this door interior opening switch serves as an emergency escape door interior opening lock, eliminating the need to add a separate emergency escape door interior opening lock. This also saves users the extra time of learning and mastering the specific location and operation of the emergency escape door interior opening lock in case of power failure. Regardless of whether there is power or not, the location of the door interior opening switch remains the same, simplifying the emergency escape process and improving user comfort.

[0042] Optionally, the base 100 has a mounting hole for mounting the button 200; the first trigger part 430 is located on the side of the base 100 near the mounting hole; or, the first trigger part 430 is located on the side of the base 100 away from the mounting hole.

[0043] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 The base 100 has a mounting hole for mounting the button 200; the first trigger part 430 is located on the side of the base 100 near the mounting hole; in the second embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The base 100 has mounting holes for mounting the button 200; the first trigger part 430 is located on the side of the base 100 away from the mounting holes. The purpose of this arrangement is to make adaptive adjustments according to the opening and closing direction of each door, and no specific restrictions are placed on the installation positions of the first trigger part 430 and the second trigger part 440.

[0044] Optionally, the actuating part has an abutting section 420 extending into the button 200, the abutting section 420 abutting against the bottom surface of the top plate 210 of the button 200. Providing the abutting section 420 extending into the button 200 on the actuating part increases the contact area between the actuating part and the button 200, thereby making the connection between the button 200 and the abutting part more stable. Furthermore, the abutting connection method reduces the connection process between the actuating part and the button 200, which not only reduces costs but also speeds up the installation of the door opening switch. Of course, the invention is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the actuating part can also be directly connected to the side plate of the button 200 without providing the abutting section 420 extending into the button 200.

[0045] Optionally, the free end of the abutting section 420 is provided with a first limiting part 421 extending towards the top plate 210, and the top plate 210 is provided with a second limiting part 211 extending towards the first limiting part 421. The first limiting part 421 and the second limiting part 211 abut against each other. The provision of the first limiting part 421 and the second limiting part 211 can limit the rotation angle of the driving member 400 and prevent the second limiting part 211 from loosening from the abutting section 420, thereby causing the button 200 to malfunction. Such a provision can increase the service life of the button 200. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the free end of the abutting section 420 may also be provided with a first limiting part 421 extending towards the top plate 210. The first limiting part 421 directly abuts against the bottom surface of the top plate 210 of the button 200 and limits it with the side plate of the button 200.

[0046] Optionally, the rotating body 410 is in the shape of a triangular prism, with the abutment section 420, the first trigger part 430, and the rotating part of the rotating body 410 respectively located on the ridge of the triangular prism. It can be understood that the line connecting the abutment section 420 and the rotating part of the rotating body 410 is oblique, which increases the displacement space between the abutment section 420 and the base 100. This increases the activation distance between the first trigger part 430 activating the mechanical lock 300 and the second trigger part 440 activating the electronic lock, avoiding simultaneous activation of the mechanical lock 300 and the electronic lock. Of course, the invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the rotating body 410 can also be in the shape of a quadrangular prism, with the rotating part of the rotating body 410 located in the middle of the quadrangular prism and spaced apart from the base 100. The abutment section 420 is located on the first side of the quadrangular prism, and the second trigger part 440 and the first trigger part 430 are located on the side of the rotating body 410 opposite to the first side of the quadrangular prism.

[0047] Optionally, the first trigger part 430 extends outward from the rotating body 410, and the base 100 is provided with a clearance opening corresponding to the first trigger part 430. The clearance opening on the base 100 corresponding to the first trigger part 430 is provided to avoid the base 100 interfering with the operation of the first trigger part 430 and to increase the operating space of the first trigger part 430.

[0048] Optionally, the second trigger part 440 is disposed at the bottom of the rotating body 410, and the base 100 is provided with a limiting plate 110, which abuts against the second trigger part 440. Specifically, the limiting plate 110 abuts against the side wall of the second trigger part 440. The setting of the limiting plate 110 can prevent the second trigger part 440 from shifting to the side, thereby preventing the second trigger part 440 from triggering the switch trigger and causing the electronic lock to malfunction. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the limiting plate 110 can also abut against the side wall of the rotating body 410 to prevent the rotating body 410 from shifting, thereby preventing the second trigger part 440 from shifting.

[0049] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second trigger part 440 may be provided at the bottom of the rotating body 410. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the second trigger part 440 may also be provided at the bottom of the free end of the abutment section 420.

[0050] Optionally, the rotating body 410 is rotatably mounted on the base 100 via a pin 500. This is because the pin 500 is reliable and easy to disassemble, which can speed up the installation efficiency of the door opening switch and increase its service life. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the rotating body 410 can also be rotatably mounted on the base 100 via a rotating shaft.

[0051] Optionally, the door opening switch also includes a reset structure, which is located between the base 100 and the drive member 400. The reset structure allows the button 200 to automatically return to its original position. It is understood that when the button 200 is pressed, the abutting section 420 of the drive member 400 is also pressed, causing the actuating part of the drive member 400 to collapse and the second side to lift. At this time, the reset structure is also subjected to force and contracts, thus possessing a restoring force. When the user's finger releases the pressing force, the drive member 400 automatically returns to its original state under the restoring force of the reset structure, thereby causing the button 200 to return to its original state. Of course, the invention is not limited to this. In some other embodiments, the door opening switch may not have a reset structure; after the user presses down on the button 200, the user can manually release the button 200.

[0052] Optionally, the reset structure is a torsion spring 600, which includes a torsion spring body 610, a first fixed section 620, and a second fixed section 630. The torsion spring body 610 is mounted on the pin 500, the first fixed section 620 is connected to the base 100, and the second fixed section 630 is connected to the driving member 400. This is because the torsion spring 600 has a high fatigue limit and the ability to resist fatigue failure under long-term vibration and alternating stress. Moreover, the torsion spring 600 has sufficient plasticity and toughness to meet the requirements of processing and forming and to withstand certain impact loads. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In some other embodiments, the reset structure can also be a reset spring, with both ends of the reset spring connected to the bottom surfaces of the base 100 and the abutment section 420, respectively.

[0053] Optionally, the rotating body 410 is provided with a mounting cavity 411, the pin 500 is disposed in the mounting cavity 411, the torsion spring body 610 is disposed on the pin 500, the first fixing section 620 is connected to the base 100, and the second fixing section 630 is connected to the bottom of the mounting cavity 411. This can increase the stability of the torsion spring 600 during installation.

[0054] Optionally, the first trigger part 430 is a connecting section extending outward from the rotating body 410, and the connecting section is provided with a mounting groove 431. The terminal of the door lock cable 310 is provided in the mounting groove 431. Specifically, the groove wall of the mounting groove 431 is also provided with a wire hole, and the lead wire of the door lock cable 310 passes through the wire hole. The installation and disassembly are simple. Just place the terminal of the door lock cable 310 in the mounting groove 431 and pass the lead wire of the door lock cable 310 through the wire hole to complete the installation.

[0055] Furthermore, the mounting structure of the door lock cable end can be located in the direction of movement of the connecting section or perpendicular to the direction of movement of the connecting section. No specific restrictions are made on the mounting structure of the door lock cable end here.

[0056] The present invention also proposes an automobile, which includes an interior door opening switch. The specific structure of the interior door opening switch is as described in the above embodiments. Since the automobile adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
