Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically to an internal handle with an integrated push switch. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of new energy vehicles and their intelligent development, the passive safety and active escape capabilities of vehicles are receiving increasing attention from society. In publicly reported traffic accidents, after a serious collision, the high-voltage battery pack of a new energy vehicle is at risk of thermal runaway or even fire due to structural damage. Such accidents not only cause devastating damage to the vehicle itself, but also pose a serious threat to the lives of the occupants.

[0003] In current vehicle designs, especially high-end or intelligent models, door unlocking and opening systems generally adopt electronic control methods. Traditional mechanical door handles are gradually being replaced by electronic button-type, capacitive touch-type, or hidden electric door handles to enhance the sense of technology and the overall styling.

[0004] However, electronic door handles rely heavily on the design of electronic and electrical systems. In the event of a serious collision, the vehicle's structure may be deformed, the low-voltage circuit may be cut off, the control unit may fail, or the wiring harness may be disconnected, causing the electronic door lock system to completely malfunction. In this extreme case, the occupants will be unable to unlock the doors electronically, thus delaying precious escape time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes an internal handle with an integrated PUSH switch.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: An internal handle with an integrated push switch includes a base on which an unlocking component is disposed; The unlocking component includes an independent and adjacent electronic unlocking button and a mechanical unlocking handle. The mechanical unlocking handle is connected to an unlocking cord, and the base forms an unlocking groove for inserting a hand. The drive end of the mechanical unlocking handle is inserted into the unlocking groove. The electronic unlock button and the mechanical unlock handle have unlocking end faces exposed on the base. When the electronic unlock button and the mechanical unlock handle are in the initial state, the unlocking end faces are on the same horizontal plane, and the unlocking end faces of the electronic unlock button and the mechanical unlock handle are in an engaged state along the projection direction, and a dividing seam is formed between the electronic unlock button and the mechanical unlock handle.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the electronic unlock button facing the mechanical unlock handle forms a first inclined surface, and the end of the mechanical unlock handle facing the electronic unlock button forms a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface is located above the second inclined surface, and the dividing seam is formed between them. When the mechanical unlock handle is rotated inward to unlock the handle, the second inclined surface moves in a direction away from the first inclined surface. Through the above improvements, the first and second inclined surfaces work together to achieve synergistic optimization of static appearance and dynamic function. In a static state, the first and second inclined surfaces form a visually continuous interface in the projection direction perpendicular to the unlock end face, maintaining a high degree of unity and simple aesthetics in the product's appearance. In a dynamic state, the inclined surfaces guide and are staggered vertically, ensuring that there is no interference between the mechanical handle and the electronic button when the handle rotates, and that the movement is smooth and reliable.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating shaft is inserted into the base, the mechanical unlocking handle is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the unlocking rope has an unlocking part and a pulling part. The unlocking part is placed in the unlocking groove, and the pulling part is connected to the unlocking rope. With the above improvements, when unlocking is required, a hand can be placed into the unlocking groove and the unlocking part can be pulled outward. As the mechanical unlocking handle rotates, the pulling part will pull the unlocking rope to perform mechanical unlocking.

[0009] Preferably, a reset torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. One end of the reset torsion spring abuts against the base, and the other end abuts against the mechanical unlocking handle. The base has a limiting groove for the reset torsion spring to be inserted. Through the above improvements, the reset torsion spring acts on the mechanical unlocking handle to enable it to have an automatic reset function. After each operation, the reset torsion spring can stably and quickly restore the handle to its initial position. In addition, the limiting groove on the base ensures the stability of the reset torsion spring installation.

[0010] Preferably, the sidewall of the unlocking groove is formed with a guide slope, which extends downward toward the inner side of the unlocking groove. Through the above improvement, the guide slope can guide the hand, allowing the hand to slide smoothly into the unlocking groove, thereby improving the smoothness of the user pulling the mechanical unlocking handle.

[0011] Preferably, the electronic unlocking button includes a housing, a trigger module disposed within the housing, and a button cap slidably disposed on the housing. The button cap is exposed on the base. The button cap slides down and presses against the trigger module to perform electronic unlocking. With the above improvement, when the user opens the door, he presses down on the button cap with his finger. The button cap slides smoothly down along the housing, and its inner side directly presses against the trigger module below. After the trigger module is triggered, an electrical signal is output through the connector. This signal conveys the unlocking command. After the control system receives a valid electrical signal, the electronic actuator (such as a motor) actuates to release the locking state of the bolt, thereby completing the electronic unlocking.

[0012] Preferably, the base has a first snap-fit ​​groove, the housing has a first snap-fit ​​protrusion that snaps into the first snap-fit ​​groove, the housing has a second snap-fit ​​groove, the trigger module has a second snap-fit ​​protrusion that snaps into the second snap-fit ​​groove, and the button cap has a third snap-fit ​​groove, the housing has a third snap-fit ​​protrusion that snaps into the third snap-fit ​​groove. Through the above improvements, the multi-level snap-fit ​​structure achieves precise positioning and stable connection between the components, forming a modular assembly system that can be quickly assembled without screws, greatly improving production efficiency and structural integrity, while reducing the risk of poor contact due to vibration.

[0013] Preferably, the unlocking end face of the electronic unlocking button and the unlocking end face of the mechanical unlocking handle are spliced ​​on the base to form an unlocking plane. The length of the unlocking end face of the electronic unlocking button is one-third of the unlocking plane. Through the above improvements, the electronic and mechanical unlocking interfaces are integrated into the same plane, which significantly improves the simplicity and overall design of the product appearance. Approximately two-thirds of the unlocking plane is mechanical and one-third is electronic button, which not only clearly distinguishes the functional areas but also intuitively reflects the main priority of emergency mechanical unlocking, effectively guides user operation, prevents accidental touch of electronic buttons, and ensures that the mechanical handle can be quickly located and operated in an emergency.

[0014] Preferably, the button cap is provided with an unlocking graphic, and the trigger module is provided with an illumination LED for illuminating the unlocking graphic. Through the above improvements, the unlocking mark is clearly visible in low-light environments, which greatly improves the intuitiveness of operation and positioning speed. The illumination guide reduces the risk of accidental touch, while enhancing the technological feel and aesthetics of the product.

[0015] Preferably, the base has a limiting protrusion that abuts against the mechanical unlocking handle to restrict the mechanical unlocking handle from continuing to rotate toward the base. The limiting protrusion also has several abutting ribs that abut against the mechanical unlocking handle. Through the above improvements, a limiting protrusion with abutting ribs is added to the base, which abuts against the mechanical unlocking handle to restrict its excessive rotation. The design of multiple abutting ribs disperses the contact stress and improves the durability and reliability of long-term use.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By setting independent and adjacent electronic unlocking buttons and mechanical unlocking handles on the base, both buttons and handles have unlocking surfaces exposed on the base. In their initial state, the unlocking surfaces of the electronic unlocking button and mechanical unlocking handle are on the same horizontal plane and are engaged along the projection direction. Users can unlock electronically by lightly touching the button or pull the mechanical unlocking handle in the same area, which effectively reduces accidental operation and improves unlocking reliability in emergency situations. Furthermore, the electronic and mechanical unlocking mechanisms are set up independently and adjacently, with a dividing seam separating them physically and functionally. The unlocking surfaces of both are coplanar and projected to engage in the initial state, creating a seamless visual integration and greatly enhancing the overall aesthetics and interior quality of the product.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0020] like Figure 1-8 As shown, an inner handle with an integrated push switch includes a base 1, on which an unlocking component 2 is provided.

[0021] Specifically, the unlocking component 2 includes an independently and adjacently arranged electronic unlocking button 101 and a mechanical unlocking handle 102. The mechanical unlocking handle 102 is connected to an unlocking pull rope 103, and the base 1 has an unlocking groove 104 for the hand to be inserted. The driving end of the mechanical unlocking handle 102 is inserted into the unlocking groove 104. The electronic unlocking button 101 can be pressed directly to unlock electronically, or the hand can be inserted into the unlocking groove 104 and the mechanical unlocking handle 102 can be pulled to unlock. The user can unlock electronically by touching the button or pull the mechanical unlocking handle 102 in the same area, which can effectively reduce misoperation and improve the unlocking reliability in emergency situations.

[0022] Furthermore, the electronic unlocking button 101 and the mechanical unlocking handle 102 have unlocking end faces 105 exposed on the base 1. When the electronic unlocking button 101 and the mechanical unlocking handle 102 are in the initial state, the unlocking end faces 105 are on the same horizontal plane, and the unlocking end faces 105 of the electronic unlocking button 101 and the mechanical unlocking handle 102 are in an engaged state along the projection direction. A dividing seam 106 is formed between the electronic unlocking button 101 and the mechanical unlocking handle 102. The physical and functional distinction is achieved through the dividing seam 106. The unlocking end faces 105 of the two are coplanar and projected to be engaged in the initial state, resulting in a seamless visual integration and greatly enhancing the overall aesthetics and interior quality of the product.

[0023] The unlocking end face 105 of the electronic unlocking button 101 and the unlocking end face 105 of the mechanical unlocking handle 102 are spliced ​​on the base 1 to form an unlocking plane 601. The length of the unlocking end face 105 of the electronic unlocking button 101 is one-third of the unlocking plane 601. Integrating the electronic and mechanical unlocking interfaces on the same plane significantly improves the simplicity and overall design of the product. About two-thirds of the unlocking plane 601 is mechanical and one-third is electronic button. This clearly distinguishes the functional areas and intuitively reflects the main priority of emergency mechanical unlocking, effectively guiding user operation and preventing accidental touch of electronic buttons. At the same time, it ensures that the mechanical handle can be quickly located and operated in an emergency, making its shape similar to a conventional inner handle. Moreover, it does not require mold modification; it simply replaces one end space of the original mechanical handle with electronic unlocking to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, as a further explanation of the cooperation between the electronic unlock button 101 and the mechanical unlock handle 102 and the base 1, the base 1 is provided with mounting slots 901 for mounting the electronic unlock button 101 and the mechanical unlock handle 102. By using the two mounting slots 901 to connect with the electronic unlock button 101 and the mechanical unlock handle 102 respectively, the electronic unlock button 101 and the mechanical unlock handle 102 can be quickly installed and fixed.

[0025] Specifically, the end of the electronic unlock button 101 facing the mechanical unlock handle 102 forms a first inclined surface 201, and the end of the mechanical unlock handle 102 facing the electronic unlock button 101 forms a second inclined surface 202. The first inclined surface 201 is located above the second inclined surface 202, and a dividing seam 106 is formed between the two. Through the cooperation of the first inclined surface 201 and the second inclined surface 202, the static appearance and dynamic function are optimized in a coordinated manner, so that the first inclined surface 201 and the second inclined surface 202 form a visually continuous joint surface in the projection direction perpendicular to the unlock end face 105, maintaining the high degree of unity and simple aesthetics of the product appearance.

[0026] Furthermore, when the mechanical unlocking handle 102 is rotated inward toward the unlocking groove 104 to perform unlocking, the second inclined surface 202 moves in a direction away from the first inclined surface 201, ensuring that the mechanical handle rotates without interfering with the electronic button, and the movement is smooth and reliable.

[0027] The electronic unlock button 101 has a lower travel distance than the dividing seam 106, thus avoiding squeezing the mechanical unlock handle 102 during the unlocking process.

[0028] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, in a further explanation of the embodiment of the mechanical unlocking handle 102, a rotating shaft 301 is inserted into the base 1, the mechanical unlocking handle 102 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 301, and the unlocking pull rope 103 is configured with an unlocking part 302 and a pulling part 303. The unlocking part 302 is placed in the unlocking groove 104, and the pulling part 303 is connected to the unlocking pull rope 103. When unlocking is required, a hand can be placed into the unlocking groove 104 and the unlocking part 302 can be pulled outward. As the mechanical unlocking handle 102 rotates, the pulling part 303 will pull the unlocking pull rope 103 to perform mechanical unlocking.

[0029] Specifically, a reset torsion spring 304 is fitted on the rotating shaft 301. One end of the reset torsion spring 304 abuts against the base 1, and the other end abuts against the mechanical unlocking handle 102. The reset torsion spring 304 acts on the mechanical unlocking handle 102 to enable it to have an automatic reset function. After each operation, the reset torsion spring 304 can stably and quickly restore the handle to its initial position.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting groove 305 is formed on the base 1 for inserting the reset torsion spring 304 to ensure the stability of the reset torsion spring 304 during installation.

[0031] In addition, a guide slope 306 is formed on the side wall of the unlocking groove 104. The guide slope 306 extends toward the inner lower side of the unlocking groove 104. The guide slope 306 can guide the hand so that the hand can smoothly slide into the unlocking groove 104, thereby improving the smoothness of the user pulling the mechanical unlocking handle 102.

[0032] Preferably, the base 1 has a limiting protrusion 801 that abuts against the mechanical unlocking handle 102 to limit the mechanical unlocking handle 102 from continuing to rotate toward the base 1 and to limit the mechanical unlocking handle 102 from over-rotation. The limiting protrusion 801 also has a plurality of abutting ribs 802 that abut against the mechanical unlocking handle 102, thereby dispersing the contact stress and improving the durability and reliability of long-term use.

[0033] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the composition further explains the specific structure of the electronic unlock button 101. The electronic unlock button 101 includes a housing 401, a trigger module 402 disposed in the housing 401, and a button cap 403 slidably disposed on the housing 401. The button cap 403 is exposed on the base 1. The button cap 403 slides down and squeezes the trigger module 402 to perform electronic unlocking.

[0034] When a user opens the door, they press down on the button cap 403 with their finger. The button cap 403 slides smoothly down along the housing 401, and its inner side directly presses against the trigger module 402 below. After the trigger module 402 is triggered, an electrical signal is output through the connector. This signal conveys the unlocking command. After the control system receives the valid electrical signal, the electronic actuator (such as a motor) acts to release the locking state of the bolt, thereby completing the electronic unlocking.

[0035] Specifically, a first snap-fit ​​groove 501 is formed on the base 1, a first snap-fit ​​protrusion 502 is formed on the housing 401 to snap into the first snap-fit ​​groove 501, a second snap-fit ​​groove 503 is formed on the housing 401, a second snap-fit ​​protrusion 504 is formed on the trigger module 402 to snap into the second snap-fit ​​groove 503, and a third snap-fit ​​groove 505 is formed on the button cap 403, and a third snap-fit ​​protrusion 506 is formed on the housing 401 to snap into the third snap-fit ​​groove 505. The multi-level snap-fit ​​structure realizes precise positioning and stable connection between the components, forming a modular assembly system that can be quickly assembled without screws, greatly improving production efficiency and structural integrity, while reducing the risk of poor contact due to vibration.

[0036] Furthermore, the button cap 403 is provided with an unlock graphic 701, and the trigger module 402 is provided with an illumination LED 702 for illuminating the unlock graphic 701, making the unlock mark clearly visible in low light environment, greatly improving the intuitiveness of operation and positioning speed. The illumination guide reduces the risk of accidental touch, while enhancing the technological feel and aesthetics of the product.

[0037] As a preferred option, the outer surface of the keycap 403 is made of PC material, and the frame is made of PC+ABS material to ensure the structural strength of the keycap 403.

[0038] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
