Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a door limiter and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The function of a door limiter is to restrict the degree to which the door can be opened. On the one hand, it can limit the maximum opening of the door to prevent it from opening too wide. On the other hand, it can keep the door open when needed, such as when the car is parked on a slope or when it is windy, so that the door will not close automatically.

[0003] Special-purpose vans, due to the presence of windows, doors, and other specialized work compartments on the sides of the cargo box, cannot have the ample space on the side walls of a freight truck to install doorstops or similar devices, unlike blind-cargo vans. Some vehicles are equipped with readily accessible doorstops for passenger boarding and alighting, but these offer poor wind protection and are easily forced to close automatically by wind when open. However, special-purpose vans need to operate in any stormy weather, requiring the cargo box doors to remain open. Therefore, a door limiter capable of locking the cargo box doors to maintain their open position is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, this application proposes a door limiter and a vehicle that can lock the state of the vehicle door to keep the door in the open state.

[0005] One aspect of the present invention provides a door limiter, wherein a vehicle door is horizontally hinged to a door frame, the door limiter comprising:

[0006] A pivot, the first end of which is capable of horizontal rotation relative to the door frame;

[0007] A sliding sleeve, which is horizontally installed on the carriage door;

[0008] A sliding rod, wherein the first end of the sliding rod is horizontally rotatably connected to the second end of the rotating shaft, and the second end of the sliding rod is slidably mounted within the sliding sleeve; and

[0009] A locking mechanism is provided to lock the position of the slide rod within the slide sleeve.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0011] In the aforementioned door limiter, the sliding rod is further provided with a plurality of locking teeth spaced apart along its length. The locking mechanism includes a drive assembly and a locking plate. The drive assembly is mounted on the sliding sleeve and can drive the locking plate to cooperate with the locking teeth to lock the position of the sliding rod within the sliding sleeve.

[0012] The aforementioned door limiter further includes a drive assembly comprising a locking seat and a drive rod. The locking seat is mounted on the sliding sleeve and has a mounting hole. The first end of the drive rod passes through the mounting hole and is connected to the locking plate. An elastic element is sleeved on the drive rod, and the locking plate can engage with the locking teeth under the action of the elastic element to lock the position of the slide rod within the sliding sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned door limiter, the side wall of the locking seat is provided with a locking groove, and the drive assembly also includes a locking rod, which can cooperate with the locking groove to lock or release the locking plate and the locking tooth.

[0014] In the aforementioned door limiter, the locking seat has locking grooves on both opposite side walls, the locking rod has a U-shaped structure, the second end of the drive rod has a mounting groove, the middle part of the locking rod is installed in the mounting groove, the two ends of the locking rod are correspondingly limited in the two locking grooves, and the two ends of the elastic member abut against the locking rod and the locking seat respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, in the aforementioned door limiter, a pressing cap is installed at the second end of the drive rod. The pressing cap can press the drive rod to overcome the action of the elastic element, thereby causing the drive rod to move relative to the locking seat.

[0016] The aforementioned door limiter further includes a rotating seat, which can be installed on the door frame. The upper surface of the rotating seat has a first rotating hole, and the first end of the rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the first rotating hole.

[0017] Furthermore, in the aforementioned door limiter, the first end of the slide rod is provided with a second rotating hole, and the second end of the rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the second rotating hole.

[0018] Furthermore, in the aforementioned door limiter, the sliding sleeve is detachably mounted on the vehicle door via a mounting base.

[0019] Another aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle having a door limiter as described above.

[0020] The above-mentioned technical features can be combined in various suitable ways or replaced by equivalent technical features, as long as the purpose of the present invention can be achieved.

[0021] The present invention provides a door limiter and a vehicle, which, compared with the prior art, has at least the following advantages: When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal rotation angle of the vehicle door relative to the door frame to adjust the state of the vehicle door, firstly, the locking mechanism unlocks the position of the sliding rod within the sliding sleeve, and then the vehicle door is driven to rotate horizontally relative to the door frame to adjust the state of the vehicle door. At this time, the first end of the rotating shaft rotates horizontally relative to the door frame, and the first end of the sliding rod rotates horizontally relative to the second end of the rotating shaft, causing the sliding rod to slide relative to the sliding sleeve. After the state of the vehicle door is adjusted, the locking mechanism locks the position of the sliding rod within the sliding sleeve, thus ensuring that the state of the vehicle door is locked to keep the vehicle door in the open or closed state. Because the locking mechanism of this door limiter can lock the position of the sliding rod within the sliding sleeve, the state of the vehicle door can be locked to keep the vehicle door in the open state.

The door limiter 100 includes a rotating shaft 110, a sliding sleeve 120, a sliding rod 130, and a locking mechanism 140. The first end of the rotating shaft 110 can rotate horizontally relative to the door frame; the sliding sleeve 120 is horizontally mounted on the vehicle door; the first end of the sliding rod 130 is horizontally rotatably connected to the second end of the rotating shaft 110, and the second end of the sliding rod 130 is slidably mounted in the sliding sleeve 120; the locking mechanism 140 is used to lock the position of the sliding rod 130 in the sliding sleeve 120.

[0039] When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal rotation angle of the carriage door relative to the door frame to adjust the state of the carriage door, firstly, the locking mechanism 140 unlocks the position of the slide rod 130 within the sliding sleeve 120, and then drives the carriage door to rotate horizontally relative to the door frame to adjust the state of the carriage door. At this time, the first end of the rotating shaft 110 rotates horizontally relative to the door frame, and the first end of the slide rod 130 rotates horizontally relative to the second end of the rotating shaft 110, and drives the slide rod 130 to slide relative to the sliding sleeve 120. After the state of the carriage door is adjusted, the locking mechanism 140 locks the position of the slide rod 130 within the sliding sleeve 120, thus ensuring that the state of the carriage door is locked to keep the carriage door in the open or closed state.

[0040] The door limiter 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention can lock the state of the car door to keep the car door in the open state because the locking mechanism 140 can lock the position of the slide bar 130 in the slide sleeve 120.
