[0002] The automotive exterior door handle is an important part of the door system and is used to open the door from the outside of the vehicle. The structure of the automotive exterior door handle is mostly composed of a handle, a pull rod, and a lock body. By pulling the handle, the pull rod is driven and then the pawl inside the lock body is released away from the lock ring, thereby opening the door.

[0003] In the prior art, most automotive exterior door handles traction the pull rod by rotating the handle. The operation of rotating the handle is rather inconvenient. Since the applied rotating force is not natural to apply, it is easy to slip when there is water stain on the outside of the handle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automotive exterior door handle structure that is convenient to open, so as to solve the problems proposed in the above background art that the operation of rotating the handle is rather inconvenient, since the applied rotating force is not natural to apply, and it is easy to slip when there is water stain on the outside of the handle.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: including: an exterior door handle body, a connection mechanism is arranged on one side of the exterior door handle body. The connection mechanism includes a connecting plate, a middle through groove, an upper hook-shaped limiting block, a fixing plate, a first arc-shaped limiting block, a second arc-shaped limiting block, a support block, an arc-shaped groove, and a plastic arc-shaped block. A pull rod is arranged inside the connection mechanism, and the bottom end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the lock body.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, one side of the exterior door handle body is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and a middle through groove is opened inside the connecting plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the side of the connecting plate perpendicular to the exterior door handle body on the other side is fixedly connected to one side of the upper hook-shaped limiting block, and the bottom of the upper hook-shaped limiting block is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, one side of the bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the first arc-shaped limiting block, and one side of the top of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to one side of the second arc-shaped limiting block.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the second arc-shaped limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block, and an arc-shaped groove is opened at the top of the support block.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the other side of the first arc-shaped limiting block is fixedly connected to one side of the plastic arc-shaped block, and the distance between the side of the plastic arc-shaped block away from the fixed plate and the sides of the first arc-shaped limiting block and the second arc-shaped limiting block away from the fixed plate is less than the diameter of the pull rod.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the inner walls of the first arc-shaped limiting block, the second arc-shaped limiting block and the plastic arc-shaped block are movably connected to the outer wall of the pull rod, and the outer wall of the top of the pull rod is movably connected to the inner walls of the through slot, the upper hook-shaped limiting block and the arc-shaped slot.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the end of the pull rod connected to the lock body is fixedly connected to the intermediate lever provided inside the lock body through a pin shaft.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0014] 1. In the present invention, when pressing down the outer handle body, through the settings of the connecting plate and the upper hook-shaped limiting block, the pull rod is driven to move downward. The downward movement of the pull rod drives the release arm inside the lock body to rotate clockwise. As the release arm rotates, it drives the lever to push the pawl inside the lock body to rotate counterclockwise, so that the head of the pawl disengages from the lock ring inside the lock body. By pressing down the outer handle body to pull the pull rod, the operation of the traditional rotating outer handle body is eliminated. The natural downward pressing action is more convenient, and at the same time, the phenomenon of hand slipping is reduced.

[0015] 2. In the present invention, when connecting the pull rod and the outer handle body, slightly rotate the pull rod, and then insert the top of the pull rod into the through slot, the upper hook-shaped limiting block and the inside of the support block. At the same time, the straight handle part of the pull rod is located on the side of the first arc-shaped limiting block, the second arc-shaped limiting block and the plastic arc-shaped block away from the fixed plate. Press the pull rod, and through the deformability of the plastic arc-shaped block, the pull rod enters the inside of the first arc-shaped limiting block, the second arc-shaped limiting block and the plastic arc-shaped block. The pull rod is clamped by the reset of the plastic arc-shaped block, thus completing the connection between the outer handle body and the pull rod, facilitating the installation between the outer handle body and the pull rod, and making the maintenance between the outer handle body and the pull rod more convenient.
