[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in this application. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity purposes and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0034] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0035] Handles on car interior doors are designed for passengers to grip, improving safety during travel and offering some relief from stress. However, the handle structure remains a monotonous long-handled grip, primarily used for safety or opening / closing the door, and its effect on relieving stress is not ideal.

[0036] Therefore, this application provides a car and its interior door handle, which aims to enrich the gripping function of the interior door handle to a certain extent and achieve the technical effect of improving the mood-relieving effect of the interior door handle.

[0037] Referring to the figure, in some embodiments, by enriching the structure of the inner door handle, a wider variety of tactile sensations and operable functional structures can be provided in the gripping state, thereby improving the effect of relieving emotions to a certain extent.

[0038] Specifically, the inner door handle may include a handle body 1, a rolling support assembly 2, and a toggle member 3. The fixed support assembly 2 is disposed on the handle body 1, and the toggle member 3 is connected to the rolling support assembly 2. Under the action of external force, the toggle member can move relative to the handle body 1.

[0039] When passengers hold the handle body 1, they can simultaneously operate the toggle 3, causing the toggle 3 to move relative to the handle body 1, thereby enabling a variety of grip operations. This can distract attention to some extent and help to soothe emotions.

[0040] The interior door handle and automobile provided in this application embodiment, by setting a rolling support component and a toggle component on the handle body of the interior door handle, can operate the toggle component while holding the handle body, thereby enriching the grip operation. In addition to the grip feeling, it can also obtain the feeling of operating the toggle component, which enriches the grip feeling to a certain extent, distracts the gripper's attention, and thus plays a role in relieving emotions.

[0041] In some embodiments, the rolling support assembly 2 may include a bearing shaft 21, which is rotatably mounted on the handle body 1. The actuating member 3 is connected to the bearing shaft 21, so that by actuating the actuating member 3, it can rotate relative to the handle body 1 about the bearing shaft 21.

[0042] Generally, a limiting groove 11 can be provided on the handle body 1, and the end of the bearing shaft 21 can be rotatably embedded in the limiting groove 11 to limit the axial movement of the bearing shaft 21.

[0043] A clamping element 12 can also be configured on the handle body 1 to clamp the bearing shaft 21 embedded in the limiting groove 11. For example, the clamping element 12 can be configured as a cover plate.

[0044] In some embodiments, the actuating member 3 may include a flexible chain 31, which is wound around the bearing shaft 21 to adapt to the shape and specifications of the bearing shaft 21 and stably wound around the bearing shaft 21.

[0045] It is worth noting that the flexible chain 31 can adapt to the shape of the palm, fingers and other operating parts through flexible deformation to obtain a relatively soft touch, which helps to improve the comfort of holding and relieve emotions to a certain extent.

[0046] In some embodiments, in order to balance the ease of movement and stable operating area of ​​the flexible chain 31, the bearing shaft 21 can be configured as multiple, such as two; the flexible chain 31 is respectively wound around the multiple bearing shafts 21, so that the multiple flexible chains 31 can form multiple support parts, stably supporting the flexible chain 31, thereby forming a movable part with a stable shape and size, which is convenient for stable contact and prying by the passenger's fingers and other parts.

[0047] Generally, the local area of ​​the flexible chain 31 between the multiple bearing shafts 21 will be a region with stable position and size, thereby ensuring the stability of the force applied during the turning operation, so as to facilitate the smooth implementation of the turning operation.

[0048] Alternatively, a portion of the flexible chain 31 between the multiple bearing shafts 21 can be flush with the outer surface of the handle body 1 to maintain the overall aesthetics of the inner door handle.

[0049] In some embodiments, the two ends of the flexible chain 31 are connected along its length to form a closed-loop chain link; the multiple bearing shafts 21 are integrally embedded within the closed-loop chain link, thereby supporting the unfolding of the closed-loop chain link through the multiple bearing shafts 21. Thus, when the flexible chain 31 is turned, the entire closed-loop chain rotates around the multiple bearing shafts 21 as a whole, thereby ensuring the stability of the working state of the flexible chain 31, enabling stable and continuous rotation, and maintaining smooth operation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the multiple bearing shafts 21 can be arranged in parallel to ensure the stability of the rotation posture of the flexible chain 31 in the form of a chain link, avoid the flexible chain 31 from displacing along the axial direction of the bearing shaft 21, ensure the stability of the movement trajectory, and thereby reduce the risk of interference between the flexible chain 31 and the handle body 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, in order to provide operating space for the closed-loop flexible chain 31 and reduce the risk of interference, a support roller 211 can be coaxially arranged on the bearing shaft 21. The support roller 211 rolls and supports the flexible chain 31, thus opening up the closed-loop flexible chain 31.

[0052] It is worth noting that the number of support rollers 211 provided on each of the bearing shafts 21 can be two or more, in order to maintain the force balance of the closed-loop flexible chain 31.

[0053] In some embodiments, in order to maintain the stability of the moving posture of the flexible chain 31, the support roller 211 can be configured as a gear 211a, and a transmission tooth 311 can be provided on the side of the flexible chain 31 that contacts the support roller 211, the transmission tooth 311 meshing with the gear 211a.

[0054] In some embodiments, considering the flexibility of the flexible chain 31, which is prone to random deformation, in order to ensure the smooth rotation of the flexible chain 31, the rolling support assembly 2 may further include a tensioning mechanism 22, which may be connected between the flexible chain 31 and the handle body 1 to stretch and tension the flexible chain 31.

[0055] In some embodiments, the tensioning mechanism 22 may include a tensioning shaft 221 and an adjusting member 222. The tensioning shaft 221 is movably disposed on the handle body 1. The adjusting member 222 is connected to the tensioning shaft 221 and the handle body 1 respectively, so as to drive the adjusting member 222 to move, thereby pushing the flexible chain 31 and tensioning the flexible chain 31.

[0056] Generally, the circumferential side of the tensioning shaft 221 can be abutted against the flexible chain 31.

[0057] It is worth noting that a guide groove can be provided on the handle body 1, and the end of the tensioning shaft 221 can be movably embedded in the guide groove to stably approach or move away from the flexible chain 31.

[0058] In some embodiments, the adjusting member 222 may be configured as an adjusting screw 222a, which may be screwed into a screw hole on the handle body 1, thereby enabling the adjusting member 222 to move circumferentially by rotating the adjusting screw 222a; the end of the adjusting screw 222a is rotatably embedded in a slot on the tension shaft 221, thereby enabling the tension shaft 221 to move by rotating the adjusting screw 222a.

[0059] Generally, the adjusting screw 222a can be arranged radially along the tensioning shaft 221.

[0060] In some embodiments, in order to improve the smoothness of contact with the flexible chain 31, the tensioning mechanism 22 may further include a tensioning wheel 223, which is coaxially disposed on the tensioning shaft 221 and rolls against the flexible chain 31.

[0061] Generally, the tensioning wheel 223 can also be configured as a gear and mesh with the transmission gear 311.

[0062] In some embodiments, the actuating element 3 may also be a paddle, a wheel, or other structure disposed on the bearing shaft 21.

[0063] In some embodiments, in order to accommodate the rolling support assembly 2 and the actuating member 3, a recess may be provided on the handle body 1, and the rolling support assembly 2 and the actuating member 3 may be placed inside.

[0064] In some embodiments, considering the deformable nature of the flexible chain 31, a limiting portion 13 can be provided on the handle body 1, extending to the inner ring of the closed-loop flexible chain 31, to limit the excessive sag of the flexible chain 31.

[0065] Alternatively, the limiting portion 13 can be extended to the outer edge of the closed-loop flexible chain 31 to cover the edge of the flexible chain 31, thereby limiting the edge of the flexible chain 31 from warping.

[0066] In some embodiments, the flexible chain 31 may be an annular track composed of sequentially connected T-shaped track components.

[0067] Generally, to avoid excessive tension that would make it difficult to turn, an adaptive gap of 0.5 to 1 mm can be left between the transmission teeth 311 on the inner side of the flexible chain 31 and the tensioning wheel 223.

[0068] During use, the user can slide the track by sliding their finger or rubbing it with their thumb and forefinger. The position of the adjusting bolt 222a can be adjusted to tighten or loosen the track, thus regulating the resistance during track sliding to some extent.

[0069] Generally, the width of the flexible chain 31 can be 29±1mm, and the width of a single T-shaped track component is 5.8±0.5mm, and the thickness is 1.5±0.5mm.

[0070] In some embodiments, a vehicle is also provided, including the aforementioned interior door handle.
