AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing automatic door locks have expensive electric switches and complicated door components, and scissor door handles are difficult to install in confined spaces.

Method used

A door handle assembly has been designed, including a rotatable flap, a mechanically actuated switch, and a lock switch button. These components are surrounded by a single substrate, and the switch is activated within a small space using a cam lever and a flexible blade. Elastomers and hard plastic materials are used to ensure tactile feel and durability.

Benefits of technology

It enables the installation of door handle components in confined spaces, especially in confined spaces in one direction, reducing manufacturing costs and starting space requirements while maintaining a user-friendly operating experience.

Abstract

This invention relates to a door handle assembly (10) comprising: a rotatable flap (20) extending along a rotation axis (Y) and configured to rotate about the rotation axis; a mechanical actuation switch (28) generating an electrical signal to be sent to a door controller to release a door (8), the rotation of the rotatable flap (20) causing the mechanical actuation switch (28) to activate; and a locking mechanism generating an electrical signal to be sent to the door controller to lock the door, including a lock switch button. The handle assembly (10) includes an elongated base plate (14) made of a single piece extending along the rotation axis (Y) of the flap (20). The flap (20) is hinged to the base plate (14). The base plate (14) surrounds the mechanical actuation switch (28) and the lock switch button (48). The mechanical actuation switch (28) and the lock switch button (48) are located on opposite sides of the flap (20).
