[0086] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0087] This application provides a car door handle, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an outer door handle provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The exploded diagram of the exterior door handle is shown in FIG. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of an exterior door handle is shown.

[0088] The vehicle door outer handle 10 comprises a base 1, a handle body 2, a trigger assembly 3 and a drive assembly.

[0089] The base 1 is used to be installed in the installation groove on the outside of the vehicle door, so that the vehicle door outer handle 10 becomes an integral part of the vehicle door and is integrated with the appearance of the vehicle door, thereby improving the overall aesthetics and coordination of the vehicle. At the same time, this installation design also helps to reduce external wind resistance and noise. The installation groove provides a certain degree of protection for the base 1, preventing the base 1 from being directly exposed to the external environment and being eroded by pollutants such as rain and dust. This helps to extend the service life of the base 1 and its related components, and reduce damage and maintenance costs caused by environmental factors. The base 1 is designed to be installed in the installation groove, making the installation process simpler and faster. At the same time, when the handle system needs to be repaired or replaced, the base 1 and its related components can also be easily disassembled, reducing the complexity and difficulty of maintenance.

[0090] It should be noted that the base is fixed to the door sheet metal through an adjuster. Of course, in other embodiments, the base can also be fixed to the door sheet metal through screws, buckle structures, etc. Specifically, the present application does not limit the connection method between the base and the door sheet metal.

[0091] The handle body 2 is movably mounted on the base 1 so that the handle body 2 has a storage position for being stored in the mounting groove and an operating position for protruding from the mounting groove. In this way, when the handle body 2 is in the storage position, it can be hidden in the mounting groove, which not only reduces the protruding part of the vehicle exterior, but also optimizes the overall line of the door, making the vehicle appearance more concise and smooth. This design reduces the risk of collision with other objects when the vehicle is parked, and at the same time improves the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle. When the handle body 2 is in the storage position, the possibility of being illegally touched or pried is reduced, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle. When the door needs to be opened, the user can move the handle body 2 from the storage position to the operating position through simple operations (such as pulling or pressing), which improves the convenience of use. The movably mounted handle body 2 can be more conveniently removed from the base 1 when it needs to be repaired or replaced. This reduces the complexity and difficulty of maintenance, allowing users or maintenance personnel to solve problems more quickly. Since the handle body 2 is protected when it is in the storage position, direct exposure to the external environment is reduced.

[0092] The trigger assembly 3 is located between the base 1 and the handle body 2 , and is connected to one of the base 1 and the handle body 2 . During the movement of the handle body 2 , the trigger assembly 3 can be triggered by the other one of the base 1 and the handle body 2 .

[0093] It should be noted that there are many ways to connect the trigger assembly 3 to one of the base 1 and the handle body 2. For example, in some embodiments, the trigger assembly 3 and one of the base 1 and the handle body 2 can be connected by bolts. In some embodiments, the trigger assembly 3 is riveted to the base 1 or the handle body 2 by rivets. In other embodiments, the trigger assembly 3 can be connected to the base 1 or the handle body 2 by welding. In other embodiments, the trigger assembly 3 can also be connected to the base 1 or the handle body 2 by magnetic force. Specifically, the way in which the trigger assembly 3 is connected to one of the base 1 and the handle body 2 can be set as needed, and this application is not limited to this.

[0094] The driving assembly is installed on the base 1 , and the driving assembly is at least used to drive the handle body 2 to move from the storage position to the operating position when the trigger assembly 3 is triggered.

[0095] It should be noted that there are many ways to install the drive assembly on the base 1. For example, in some embodiments, the drive assembly can be connected to the base 1 by fasteners such as screws or bolts. In some other embodiments, the drive assembly can also be connected to the base 1 by a snap-fit ​​structure. In other embodiments, the drive assembly can also be welded and fixed to the base 1. Specifically, the way the drive assembly is installed on the base 1 can be set as needed, and this application does not limit this.

[0096] In the vehicle door outer handle 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the handle body 2 can be stored in the installation groove when not in use, making the door surface smoother, reducing the protruding part, and helping to improve the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. The drive assembly is installed on the base 1, making the structure of the entire vehicle door outer handle 10 more compact, which is conducive to the integration and unity of the vehicle appearance. The handle body 2 can move to the operating position, which is convenient for passengers or drivers to easily open the door. At the same time, the movement of the handle body 2 to the storage position can also reduce wind resistance when the vehicle is driving. Through the cooperation of the trigger assembly 3 and the drive assembly, the automatic storage and deployment of the handle body 2 is realized, which improves the convenience of use. In an emergency such as a collision of the vehicle, the stored handle body 2 may reduce the direct impact of the external impact force on the door and the passengers, thereby reducing the risk to a certain extent. In addition, the trigger assembly 3 is located between the base 1 and the handle body 2, so that the trigger assembly is built into the installation groove, avoiding the influence of the external environment on the trigger assembly, greatly improving the reliability of the switch, so that the handle body 2 can move from the storage position to the operating position in time, and improving the user experience.

[0097] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 3In the partially enlarged schematic diagram at A in the middle, in some embodiments, along the spacing direction between the operating position and the storage position, the trigger component 3 is located on the side of the handle body 2 facing the base 1. In this way, the trigger component 3 is placed on the side of the handle body 2 facing the base 1, making the entire handle structure more compact. This design can minimize the space occupied by the handle outside the door, which is conducive to improving the neatness and aesthetics of the vehicle appearance. Due to the relative position relationship between the trigger component 3, the handle body 2 and the base 1, the handle body 2 can directly and effectively trigger the trigger component 3. This direct trigger mechanism can reduce the energy loss and delay in the transmission path and improve the response speed and efficiency of the system. Placing the trigger component 3 in the inner position also helps to reduce the possibility of false triggering. And external factors (such as rain, dust, etc.) have little effect on the trigger component 3, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the trigger component. The inner position can also provide certain protection for the trigger component 3, reducing the possibility of it being subjected to external impact and vibration during the vehicle driving process, thereby extending its service life. In addition, this design also helps to reduce accidental triggering caused by external factors and improves the safety of the door.

[0098] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the trigger assembly provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the trigger assembly 3 includes a mounting seat 31 and a trigger portion 32. The mounting seat 31 is mounted on the base 1, and the trigger portion 32 is movably mounted on the mounting seat 31 along the spacing direction between the storage position and the operating position, so that when the trigger portion 32 is triggered by the handle body 2, the trigger portion 32 can move from the initial position to the trigger position. In this way, since the trigger portion 32 is movable along the spacing direction between the storage position and the operating position, when the handle body 2 is driven to move, the trigger portion 32 can be driven by the handle body 2 in time, so that the trigger portion 32 moves from the initial position to the trigger position, thereby realizing a fast and accurate triggering action.

[0099] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the mounting base 31 is detachably connected to the base 1, so that when the trigger assembly 3 fails, it is only necessary to remove the mounting base 31 from the base 1 to facilitate replacement or repair of the trigger assembly 3 itself, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of repair. In addition, when the trigger portion 32 moves to the trigger position, the trigger assembly 3 will be electrically connected and send a signal to the vehicle domain control. After the domain control recognizes that the signal is valid, it sends a signal to the drive assembly, and the drive assembly drives the handle body 2 to move to the storage position or the operating position.

[0100] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the trigger assembly 3 further includes an elastic buffer 33, which is mounted on the mounting seat 31. The elastic buffer 33 is used to elastically abut against the handle body 2 when the trigger portion 32 moves from the initial position to the trigger position. The elastic buffer 33 elastically abuts against the handle body 2 during the triggering process, which can reduce the abruptness and impact force during the triggering, making the user's operation experience smoother and more comfortable. The buffering effect can also effectively reduce the mechanical noise generated by the triggering and improve the quietness in the car. The elastic buffer 33 can disperse the impact force generated during the triggering, reduce the direct friction and collision between the trigger portion 32, the mounting seat 31 and the handle body 2, thereby extending the service life of these components. By adjusting the elastic buffer 33, the stability of the trigger portion 32 during the movement can be ensured to avoid failures or damage caused by vibration or impact. The elastic buffer 33 is installed on the mounting seat 31, making the structure of the trigger assembly 3 more compact and simple, which is conducive to reducing manufacturing costs and improving production efficiency.

[0101] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the base 1 is provided with a first through hole 11 and a second through hole 12 along the spacing direction between the storage position and the operating position, the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 are arranged at intervals, the mounting seat 31 is arranged on the side of the base 1 away from the handle body 2, the elastic buffer portion 33 is suitable for passing through the first through hole 11 and elastically abutting against the handle body 2, and the trigger portion 32 is suitable for passing through the second through hole 12 to be triggered by the handle body 2. In this way, by providing the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 along the thickness direction of the handle body 2, and installing the mounting seat 31 and the elastic buffer portion 33 on this basis, the space can be used more reasonably, the interference between the components can be avoided, and the overall structure can be made more compact. This design method allows the various parts of the trigger assembly 3 (such as the mounting seat 31, the elastic buffer portion 33, etc.) to be independently installed and disassembled, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. The mounting seat 31 is arranged on the side of the base 1 away from the handle body 2, so that the operation can be more intuitive during the installation process, reducing the difficulty of installation. The elastic buffer portion 33 elastically contacts the handle body 2 through the first through hole 11 , and can provide a stable buffer and reset function when the trigger portion 32 moves, thereby ensuring a rapid and accurate triggering action.

[0102] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the base 1 is provided with an annular boss 13 on one side facing the handle body 2, the annular boss 13 is arranged around the first through hole 11, and a stopper protrusion 14 is arranged on the inner side wall of the annular boss 13. The elastic buffer portion 33 includes a buffer column 331 and an elastic portion 333. The buffer column 331 is extended along the spacing direction between the storage position and the operating position, and an abutment platform 332 is convexly arranged on the side wall of the buffer column 331. The buffer column 331 is movably installed on the mounting seat 31 along its extension direction and is arranged corresponding to the first through hole 11. The buffer column 331 has a first position where it moves to extend out of the annular boss 13 and a second position where it is received in the annular boss 13. In the first position, the side of the abutment platform 332 facing away from the mounting seat 31 abuts against the side of the stop platform facing the base 1. The elastic portion 333 elastically connects the buffer column 331 and the mounting seat 31. The elastic portion 333 is used to keep the buffer column 331 in the first position. In this way, the setting of the annular boss 13 provides a stable installation boundary for the buffer column 331, ensuring the smooth movement of the buffer column 331. In addition, the combined use of the buffer column 331 and the elastic portion 333 realizes the effective absorption and dispersion of the impact force. The buffer column 331 can be movably mounted on the mounting seat 31 and has two clear positions (the first position and the second position). This design allows the connection between the handle body 2 and the base 1 to have a certain adjustment space, which can adapt to slight displacement or deformation in different usage scenarios, and enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the outer door handle 10. The use of the buffer column 331 and the elastic part 333 also helps to reduce the noise generated by the direct contact between the components, especially when frequently operated or subjected to a large impact, which can effectively improve the user experience and product quality. Through the effective buffering and shock-absorbing design, the risk of component damage or falling off due to excessive impact force is reduced, thereby improving the overall safety and reliability of the product. When in the first position, the side of the abutment platform 332 facing away from the mounting seat 31 abuts against the side of the stop platform facing the base 1. The close abutment between the abutment platform 332 and the stop platform provides a clear positioning point for the buffer column 331 when in the first position, preventing the buffer column 331 from excessive movement or dislocation during the force process, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure.

[0103] It should be noted that the stop protrusion 14 is arranged to extend along the circumference of the annular boss 13, and the abutment platform 332 is arranged to extend along the circumference of the annular boss 13, so that the stop protrusion 14 and the abutment platform 332 can be evenly stressed when in contact, avoiding the problem of local stress concentration, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire structure. In addition, there are many types of elastic parts 333, for example, the elastic part 333 can include one of a spring, a silicone block, a sheet spring or a rubber elastic element, etc. Specifically, the present application does not limit the type of the elastic part 333.

[0104] Reference Figure 5When the handle body 2 is pressed, the side of the handle body 2 facing the base 1 contacts the annular boss 13, limiting the handle body 2 from continuing to move toward the base, thereby preventing the trigger assembly 3 from being crushed.

[0105] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the base 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 15, and the base 1 is provided with an opening 16 connected to the receiving cavity 15, and the opening 16 faces the same direction as the spacing between the storage position and the operating position. The handle body 2 is movably installed in the receiving cavity 15, and is provided corresponding to the opening 16, so that the handle body 2 can switch between the storage position and the operating position through the opening 16. In this way, when the handle body 2 is in the storage position, it is completely or partially hidden in the receiving cavity 15 of the base 1, reducing the overall occupied space, making the design of the vehicle door outer handle 10 more compact and convenient for installation and use in a limited space. When the handle body 2 is not in use, it can be completely stored inside the base 1, making the product appearance more concise and smooth. When the handle body 2 is in the storage position, it is protected by the base 1, reducing the risk of damage caused by external factors (such as collision, dust, etc.), thereby helping to extend the service life of the handle body 2 and the entire vehicle door outer handle 10. Storing the handle body 2 can avoid unsafe situations caused by accidental touch by children or passengers.

[0106] Reference Figure 2 The handle body 2 includes a main body 21 and a cover 22 arranged along one side of the thickness direction thereof. The main body 21 and the cover 22 are buckled together. The cover 22 is arranged corresponding to the opening 16. The cover 22 is used for the operator to press. The trigger assembly 3 is located between the base 1 and the main body 21. In this way, the buckled design of the main body 21 and the cover 22 enhances the overall structural strength of the handle body 2. This design enables the handle body 2 to better disperse and resist stress when subjected to external forces, such as pressure from the operator or accidental collision, thereby improving the durability and service life of the handle body 2. Since the cover 22 is independent and detachable, when the cover 22 is worn or damaged due to long-term use, the cover 22 can be replaced alone without replacing the entire handle body 2. This not only reduces the maintenance cost, but also improves the maintainability and flexibility of the handle body 2.

[0107] It should be noted that the cover body 22 and the main body 21 can be fixed together by snap screws. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover body 22 and the main body 21 can also be fixed by a snap structure. Specifically, this application does not limit this.

[0108] Reference Figure 2The base 1 includes a base body 17 and a sealing cover 18. The base body 17 is formed with a groove 171. The sealing cover 18 is provided with an opening 16. The sealing cover 18 is detachably mounted on the base body 17, so that the base body 17 and the sealing cover 18 are jointly surrounded to form a receiving chamber 15. The sealing cover 18 is used to cover the notch of the mounting groove. The sealing cover 18 is detachably mounted on the base body 17, so that the maintenance and repair of the base 1 become simpler and more efficient. When it is necessary to access or replace the components in the receiving chamber 15, it is only necessary to remove the sealing cover 18 without disassembling the entire base 1, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost and time. Since the sealing cover 18 is detachable, it is easy to clean the interior of the receiving chamber 15 and the mounting groove to remove impurities such as dust and dirt. Since the sealing cover 18 can be replaced separately, when it is damaged or worn, it is only necessary to replace the sealing cover 18 without replacing the entire base, which reduces the maintenance cost and improves the cost-effectiveness.

[0109] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 3A partial enlarged schematic diagram at C in the middle, in some embodiments, the storage position and the operating position are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the handle body 2, the driving assembly includes a first rocker arm 41, a second rocker arm 44 and a linear driving portion 47, the first rocker arm 41 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 15, the first rocker arm 41 is provided with a first hinge shaft 42 and a second hinge shaft 43 arranged at intervals along its length direction, the first hinge shaft 42 and the second hinge shaft 43 are both extended along the width direction of the handle body 2, the first hinge shaft 42 is hinged to the base 1, the second hinge shaft 43 is hinged to the handle body 2, the second rocker arm 44 is between the handle body 2 and the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating cavity 15, and is connected to the first rocker arm 4 along the length direction of the handle body 2 1, the second rocker arm 44 is provided with a third hinge shaft 45 and a fourth hinge shaft 46 at intervals along its length direction, the third hinge shaft 45 and the fourth hinge shaft 46 are both extended along the width direction of the handle body 2, the third hinge shaft 45 is hinged to the base 1, the fourth hinge shaft 46 is hinged to the handle body 2, and is arranged in the accommodating cavity 15, the linear drive part 47 drives and connects the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 44, so that the second hinge shaft 43 can rotate around the first hinge shaft 42, and the fourth hinge shaft 46 can rotate around the third hinge shaft 45, so that the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 44 are both arranged in the accommodating cavity 15 inside the handle body 2, and are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the handle body 2. This layout makes full use of the limited space and makes the entire drive assembly compact. The first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 44 are hinged to the base 1 and the handle body 2 through their respective hinge shafts, so that when the linear drive unit 47 drives the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 44 to rotate, the handle body 2 can be switched between the storage position and the operating position along the thickness direction of the handle body 2, and the structure is simple. The double rocker arm design of the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 44 enhances the overall stability of the drive assembly. The first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 44 support each other during the transmission process, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by uneven force on a single component. The first hinge shaft 42, the second hinge shaft 43, the third hinge shaft 45 and the fourth hinge shaft 46 are all extended along the width direction of the handle body 2 and are firmly hinged to the base 1 and the handle body 2. This layout makes the force line in the transmission process more reasonable, reducing the problem of reduced transmission efficiency or component damage caused by force line offset. In addition, through the precise control of the first rocker arm 41 and the second rocker arm 44 by the linear drive unit 47, the handle body 2 can be automatically switched between the storage position and the operating position, thereby realizing automated operation and improving the user experience.

[0110] Reference Figure 2In some embodiments, the outer door handle 10 further includes a first elastic member 5, which is elastically connected between the first rocker arm 41 and the base 1. The first elastic member 5 and the linear drive unit 47 exert opposite torques on the first rocker arm 41. Thus, when the linear drive unit 47 drives the first rocker arm 41 to rotate, the first elastic member 5, as a buffer element, can absorb and disperse the impact force generated by the rotation, reducing the direct impact on the base 1 and the handle body 2, thereby extending the service life of the components. The existence of the first elastic member 5 enables the system to have a certain damping performance, which can suppress the instability of the system caused by vibration or impact to a certain extent, improve the stability of the overall structure of the outer door handle 10, and the user will feel a smoother and softer feel when operating the handle body 2, thereby improving the comfort and satisfaction of use. When the linear drive unit 47 stops working, the first elastic member 5 can use its elastic force to pull the first rocker arm 41 (and the handle body 2 connected thereto) back to the initial position or a predetermined position, thereby realizing the function of automatic reset.

[0111] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first elastic member 5 includes a torsion spring. Of course, in other embodiments, the first elastic member 5 may also include a coil spring, a leaf spring or a rubber elastic element, etc. Specifically, the specific type of the first elastic member 5 can be selected as needed, and the present application does not limit this.

[0112] Reference Figure 7In some embodiments, the first rocker arm 41 includes a main body section 411, a first connecting section 412 and a second connecting section 413. The main body section 411 is extended along the length direction of the handle body 2. The main body section 411 is arranged opposite to the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating cavity 15. The first connecting section 412 is located on the side of the main body section 411 away from the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating cavity 15. One end of the first connecting section 412 is connected to one end of the main body section 411. The other end of the first connecting section 412 is provided with a first hinge shaft 42. The first hinge shaft 42 is hinged to the top wall 152 of the accommodating cavity 15. The first connecting section 412 is connected to the linear drive unit 13. 47 driving connection, the second connecting section 413 is located on the side of the main section 411 away from the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating chamber 15, and is arranged opposite to the first connecting section 412, one end of the second connecting section 413 is connected to the other end of the main section 411, and the other end of the second connecting section 413 forms a second hinge shaft 43, and the second hinge shaft 43 is hinged to the handle body 2. In this way, the main section 411, as the main supporting part of the rocker arm, extends along the length direction of the handle body 2 and is opposite to the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating chamber 15. This design enhances the overall stability and rigidity of the rocker arm, so that it can withstand greater forces and torques. The first connecting section 412 and the second connecting section 413 are arranged on the same side of the main section 411, so that the first rocker arm 41 is compact in structure, reducing the space required for installation, ensuring that the entire first rocker arm 41 will not interfere or collide with other components during movement, thereby ensuring the normal operation and safety of the handle body 2. One end of the first connecting section 412 is connected to the main section 411, and the other end is provided with a first hinge shaft 42 hinged to the top wall 152 of the accommodating cavity 15, and the other end of the second connecting section 413 forms a second hinge shaft 43 hinged to the handle body 2. This design further increases the flexibility of the first rocker arm 41, so that the linear drive part 47 can directly and effectively transmit power to the first rocker arm 41, thereby controlling its movement. This connection method is simple, reliable, and easy to maintain and replace.

[0113] Reference Figure 2 A buffer pad 101 is also provided between the main section 411 and the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating chamber 15, so that when the main section 411 moves toward the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating chamber 15, the main section 411 can elastically contact with the buffer pad 101, reducing the direct collision between the main section 411 and the bottom wall 151, thereby effectively reducing the noise and vibration caused by the collision. Through the elastic effect of the buffer pad 101, the movement of the main section 411 becomes more stable, reducing the shaking or instability of the first rocker arm 41 caused by sudden impact. The existence of the buffer pad 101 reduces the friction and wear between the main section 411 and the bottom wall 151, reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by long-term collision, and thus prolongs the service life of the base and the first rocker arm 41.

[0114] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 The first connecting section 412 is tilted away from the main section 411 and away from the second connecting section 413. In this way, the tilted first connecting section 412 can disperse stress more effectively and reduce stress concentration when subjected to force, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the entire component and extending its service life. When the tilted first connecting section 412 rotates, its movement trajectory is smoother, reducing the resistance caused by friction or interference, thereby improving the movement efficiency of the entire first rocker arm 41. The tilted first connecting section 412 can more effectively utilize limited space and avoid conflicts with other components.

[0115] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The first connecting section 412 includes a first inclined section and a second inclined section which are sequentially connected and arranged in a direction away from the main section 411. The inclination angle of the first inclined section is smaller than that of the second inclined section. The first inclined section abuts against the driving end of the linear driving part 47, and the driving end is arranged adjacent to the connection between the first inclined section and the second inclined section. Since the inclination angle of the first inclined section is smaller than that of the second inclined section, this design enables the stress to be gradually dispersed during the transmission process, avoiding excessive concentration of stress at a certain point or a certain area, thereby improving the bearing capacity and service life of the first connecting section 412. Through the design of two sections with different inclination angles, the first connecting section 412 is more stable in structure, can maintain good shape stability when subjected to external force, and reduce the risk of deformation and failure. The driving end of the linear driving part 47 abuts against the first inclined section and is arranged adjacent to the connection between the two inclined sections. This layout is conducive to the smooth transmission of the driving force and reduces the energy loss and precision reduction that may be caused by the complexity of the transmission mechanism. In a limited space, the design of two inclined sections can more effectively utilize the space, avoid the first connecting section 412 from conflicting with other components, and ensure the compactness and rationality of the overall layout.

[0116] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second connecting section 413 is tilted away from the main section 411 and away from the first connecting section 412. In this way, the tilted second connecting section 413 can disperse stress more effectively and reduce stress concentration when subjected to force, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the entire component and extending its service life. When the tilted second connecting section 413 rotates, its movement trajectory is smoother, reducing the resistance caused by friction or interference, thereby improving the movement efficiency of the entire second rocker arm 44. In addition, the tilted second connecting section 413 can more effectively utilize limited space and avoid conflicts with other components.

[0117] It should be noted that the characteristic of the first connecting section 412 being tilted and the characteristic of the second connecting section 413 being tilted may be possessed either alone or simultaneously. When both are possessed simultaneously, the effect is best.

[0118] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 3 In the partial enlarged schematic diagram at B in the middle, in some embodiments, the fourth hinge axis 46 is located on the side of the second hinge axis 43 facing the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating cavity 15, so that when the handle body 2 is in the operating position, the handle body 2 can continue to rotate around the first hinge axis 42, which is convenient for the subsequent unlocking operation of the handle body 2. The vehicle door outer handle 10 also includes a zipper assembly, which includes a zipper rotating part 61 and a zipper block 62. The zipper rotating part 61 is arranged at intervals with the first rocker arm 41 along the length direction of the handle body 2. The zipper rotating part 61 is provided with a fifth hinge axis 63 and a hinge hole 64 arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the handle body 2. The hinge hole 64 is located on the side of the fifth hinge axis 63 away from the first rocker arm 41. The hinge hole 64 is provided for the third hinge axis 45 to be rotatably installed. In this way, the hinge connection between the zipper rotating part 61 and the base 1 is realized. The fifth hinge axis 63 is hinged to the handle body 2, and the zipper rotating part 61 has a first side facing the first rocker arm 41. One end of the first side adjacent to the hinge hole 64 is drive-connected to the linear drive part 47. The zipper block 62 is used to be driven by the zipper rotating part 61 and rotate around the fifth hinge axis 63. The zipper block 62 is used to be connected to the zipper wire. This design enables the zipper rotating part 61 to be driven to rotate by the handle body 2 when the handle is pulled to rotate the handle winding around the first hinge axis 42. When the zipper rotating part 61 is driven to rotate, the zipper rotating part 61 can drive the zipper block 62 to rotate. After the zipper block 62 rotates, the zipper wire will be tightened to achieve mechanical unlocking of the vehicle door.

[0119] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the zipper rotating portion 61 is also provided with a sixth hinge shaft 65 extending along the width direction of the handle body 2. The sixth hinge shaft 65 is located on the side of the fifth hinge shaft 63 facing the bottom wall 151 of the accommodating cavity 15. The zipper block 62 is penetrated by a through hole and a strip hole 622 along the width direction of the handle body 2. The through hole 621 and the strip hole 622 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the handle body 2. The through hole 621 is provided for the fifth hinge shaft 63 to be rotatably installed, and the strip hole 622 is extended along the circumference of the through hole 621. The strip hole 622 is provided for the sixth hinge shaft 65 to be slidably installed. In this way, when the handle body 2 is rotated, in the initial stage, the sixth hinge shaft 65 slides in the strip hole 622, so that the zipper block 62 has a certain displacement relative to the handle body 2. When the sixth hinge shaft 65 abuts against the inner wall surface of the strip hole 622, continuing to rotate the handle body 2 will cause the zipper rotating part 61 and the zipper block 62 to rotate synchronously, so that the zipper block 62 actively tightens the zipper line to achieve mechanical unlocking of the vehicle door. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0120] It should be noted that the door unlocking is divided into electric unlocking and mechanical unlocking. When the handle body 2 is pulled to rotate around the first hinge shaft 42, the sixth hinge shaft 65 slides in the strip hole 622 until it contacts the inner wall surface of the strip hole 622. At this time, the zipper rotating part 61 will touch the electric unlocking switch to realize the electric unlocking of the door. When the handle is continued to be turned, the zipper rotating part 61 and the zipper block 62 rotate synchronously, so that the zipper block 62 actively tightens the zipper line to realize the mechanical unlocking of the door.

[0121] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the outer door handle 10 further includes a balance block 8, which is rotatably connected to the fifth hinge shaft 63. When a collision occurs, the inertia of the balance block 8 and the zipper rotating part 61 are inconsistent. The balance block 8 is first subjected to inertia to limit the rotation of the zipper block 62 in advance. Then, the handle cannot pop out at the moment of the collision, making the door unable to be opened. After the collision, the balance block 8 returns to its initial position under the action of the torsion spring 9, and the handle function returns to normal.

[0122] Reference Figure 2In some embodiments, the outer door handle 10 further includes a second elastic member 7, which is elastically connected between the zipper rotating part 61 and the base 1. The second elastic member 7 and the linear drive part 47 exert opposite torques on the zipper rotating part 61. In this way, the second elastic member 7 plays a buffering role in the unlocking process, can absorb the impact force generated by the linear drive part 47, make the unlocking action more stable, and reduce the vibration and noise that may be caused by sudden release. When the linear drive part 47 drives the zipper rotating part 61 to unlock, the second elastic member 7 can provide a reverse torque to help the zipper rotating part 61 remain in the unlocked position, prevent accidental closing due to external force or vibration, and improve the safety of the door. In the process of repeated unlocking and locking, the second elastic member 7 can absorb part of the energy, protect other components from excessive stress, and reduce the possibility of failure. When the user operates the outer door handle, he can feel the appropriate resistance provided by the second elastic member 7, and this hand feedback increases the pleasure of operation. After the unlocking is completed, the second elastic member 7 can quickly reset the zipper rotating part 61 to the initial position to prepare for the next operation, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0123] Reference Figure 2In some embodiments, the zipper rotating portion 61 includes a first connecting arm 611, a second connecting arm 612, a contact arm 613 and an extension arm 614, the first connecting arm 611 is arranged at intervals along the width direction of the handle body 2, the first connecting arm 611 is penetrated with a first mounting hole 6111 along the width direction of the handle body 2, the second connecting arm 612 is arranged at intervals along the width direction of the handle body 2, the second connecting arm 612 is penetrated with a second mounting hole 6121 along the width direction of the handle body 2, the second mounting hole 6121 is coaxially arranged with the first mounting hole, the fifth hinge shaft 63 is inserted into the first mounting hole 6111 and the second mounting hole 6121, the contact arm 613 is extended along the width direction of the handle body 2, and the contact arm 61 The two ends of the handle body 2 are connected to the first connecting arm 611 and the second connecting arm 612 respectively, the extension arm 614 is convexly arranged on the side of the abutting arm 613 away from the first rocker arm 41, and the end of the extension arm 614 away from the abutting arm 613 is provided with a hinge hole 64, and the abutting arm 613 is used to abut the linear drive part 47 on the side facing the first rocker arm 41, so that the fifth hinge shaft 63 can rotate around the third hinge shaft 45. In this way, the first connecting arm 611 and the second connecting arm 612 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the handle body 2, and the fifth hinge shaft 63 is fixed by the coaxial first mounting hole 6111 and the second mounting hole 6121. This design enhances the overall stability of the rotating part, making it more stable and reliable when subjected to tension and rotation. The abutting arm 613 closely connects the two connecting arms, further improving the strength and rigidity of the zipper rotating part 61. The design of the abutment arm 613 enables it to abut against the linear drive unit 47. This abutment mechanism not only simplifies the transmission structure, but also improves the efficiency of energy transmission, so that the zipper rotating part 61 can respond to the action of the linear drive unit 47 more smoothly and accurately. Since the first connecting arm 611 and the second connecting arm 612 are hinged to the handle body 2 through the fifth hinge shaft 63, and the abutment arm 613 is hinged to the base 1 through the third hinge shaft 45, the zipper rotating part 61 can be more easily disassembled, maintained and replaced when necessary, reducing the maintenance cost and difficulty. The coaxial first mounting hole 6111 and the second mounting hole 6121 design also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the fifth hinge shaft 63, and improves the maintainability of the entire rotating part. The abutment design of the abutment arm 613 and the linear drive unit 47, as well as the clever use of the fifth hinge shaft 63 and the third hinge shaft 45, enable the zipper rotating part 61 to remain smooth and unobstructed during operation, reduce the resistance caused by friction or jamming, and improve the user experience.

[0124] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the linear drive unit 47 includes an actuator 471 and a push unit 472. The actuator 471 is mounted on the base 1. The actuator 471 has a driving end 4711. The driving end 4711 has a movable stroke along the length direction of the handle body 2. The push unit 472 is connected to the driving end 4711. The push unit 472 is used to abut against the first rocker arm 41 and the abutment arm 613 respectively. In this way, the actuator 471 can usually respond quickly to the control signal, thereby quickly adjusting the position or speed of the push unit 472, and realizing accurate control of the handle body 2 switching between the storage position and the operating position. The actuator 471 and the push unit 472 are directly connected, reducing the intermediate transmission link, making the entire linear drive unit 47 structure more compact, which helps to save installation space. Due to the reduction of the intermediate transmission link, the loss of energy in the transmission process is also reduced accordingly, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the outer door handle 10. The actuator 471 can ensure the stability of the movement process of the handle body 2 by accurately controlling the movement of the push unit 472.

[0125] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the linear drive unit 47 may also include a linear motor, an electric push rod, etc. Specifically, the present application does not limit the specific type of the linear drive unit 47. In addition, the linear drive unit 47 may be provided with one, two, three or even more, and the present application does not limit the number of the linear drive units 47.

[0126] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the pushing portion 472 includes a pushing body 4721, a first pushing arm 4722 and a second pushing arm 4723. The pushing body 4721 is extended along the length direction of the handle body 2 and is connected to the driving end 4711. The first pushing arm 4722 is extended along the width direction of the handle and is connected to the pushing body 4721. The first pushing arm 4722 is used to abut against the first rocker arm 41. The second pushing arm 4723 is extended along the width direction of the handle and is connected to the pushing body 4721. The second pushing arm 4723 and the first pushing arm 4722 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the handle body 2. The second pushing arm 4723 is used to abut against the abutting arm 613. In this way, the close connection and layout of the pushing body 4721, the first pushing arm 4722 and the second pushing arm 4723 make the entire pushing portion 472 compact and occupy a small space. Since the first pushing arm 4722 is used to abut against the first rocker arm 41 and the second pushing arm 4723 is used to abut against the abutment arm 613, the intermediate transmission links are reduced, and the pushing part 472 can transmit power to the first rocker arm 41 and the abutment arm 613 more directly and efficiently, thereby driving the handle body 2 to switch between the storage position and the operating position. This not only reduces energy loss, but also improves the response speed and accuracy of the handle body 2 and improves energy utilization.
