Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, in particular to a suspended car door handle. Background Art

[0002] The hidden exterior door handle is an automotive component that is flush with the door when closed and protrudes from the outer surface of the door when open to reduce wind resistance and enhance the sense of technology. Compared with traditional pull-type door handles, the hidden door handle is more beautiful, simple, and provides a better user experience.

[0003] At present, more and more car brands are beginning to adopt hidden exterior door handles, which generally adopt electronic or electric mechanisms. When the passenger presses the handle, the door lock will automatically unlock and pop out a distance for the user to put his finger into the handle to open the door. When the passenger completes the operation and releases the handle, the door handle will be retracted and locked.

[0004] Currently, most of the hidden handles on the market are electrically driven. If the internal circuit is abnormal or loose, it is easy to cause the handle body to fail to open or close. In addition, the internal structure is complex and the cost is high.

[0005] In the prior art, although the swing-out hidden handles and the flat-out hidden handles can force the handle body to rise up by pressing one end of the handle body, so that it protrudes out of the door handle for emergency use, this kind of handle is always affected by the return torsion spring of the handle body when in the raised state, and tends to be closed. The user needs to always grasp the raised handle body when using it, which is inconvenient to operate. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a suspended car door handle.

[0007] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: a suspended parking door handle, comprising:

[0008] A base, used for accommodating the handle body;

[0009] The handle body has a closed position flush with the vehicle door and an open position moved out of the vehicle door. The handle body is also provided with a transmission seat protruding from the handle body and disposed in the base. The transmission seat moves synchronously with the handle body.

[0010] The suspension assembly includes a baffle rod arranged on a base and a blocking portion arranged on a transmission seat. The baffle rod is configured to be actuated toward the transmission seat, and the blocking portion moves with the handle body and slides on the transmission seat. The blocking portion abuts against the baffle rod as the handle body moves from an open position to a closed position, and prevents the handle body from returning to a closed position.

[0011] Furthermore, the barrier rod includes a release position corresponding to the closed position of the handle body, and a stop position corresponding to the open position of the handle body, and the suspension assembly includes a spring abutting against the barrier rod, and the spring applies a force to the barrier rod from the release position to the stop position and keeps the barrier rod in the stop position.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission seat is provided with a first slideway and a second slideway, the first slideway and the second slideway are arranged between the blocking parts, the first slideway is used for the blocking rod to move in the release position, and the second slideway is used for the blocking rod to move in the stop position.

[0013] Furthermore, the handle body has a rotating shaft, a torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, the torsion spring is abutted between the base and the handle body, and the suspension assembly is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, a stopper is detachably embedded on the transmission seat, and the blocking portion and the first slideway are formed on the stopper.

[0015] Furthermore, the blocking rod is provided with a guiding portion engaged with the blocking portion, the guiding portion is slidably matched with the blocking block, and the blocking portion is arranged in the form of a step protruding from the blocking block.

[0016] Furthermore, a stop slope is arranged between the blocking portion and the blocking rod.

[0017] Furthermore, the end of the blocking rod is provided with a blocking rib or a roller abutting against the conductive seat.

[0018] Furthermore, the base is provided with a guide groove matching the blocking rod, and a slot arranged perpendicular to the guide groove, an insert piece is arranged in the slot, and the spring abuts between the blocking rod and the insert piece.

[0019] Furthermore, a buffer pad is provided on the base, and the buffer pad corresponds to an end of the handle body away from the rotation center.

[0020] Further, the blocking position corresponds to between the open position and the closed position of the handle body.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: in the utility model, a blocking portion is provided on the transmission seat of the handle body, and a blocking rod is provided on the base to press toward the transmission seat. During the normal opening process of the handle body, one end of the handle body is pressed to force the handle body to be removed from the vehicle door and enter the open position. At this time, the blocking rod can cross the blocking portion and slide smoothly on the transmission seat. After the handle is released, the handle body rotates and resets under the action of its own torsion spring, and as the handle body moves, the blocking rod can engage with the blocking portion on the transmission seat, thereby preventing the handle body from returning to its position and achieving the suspension of the handle body for user operation.

[0022] The hovering assembly of the utility model is composed only of a blocking portion protruding from the handle body and a blocking rod penetrating the base, and the blocking rod is parallel to the rotating axis of the handle body, thereby reducing the volume of the hovering assembly and optimizing the space occupied inside the base, so as to adapt to different electric hidden handles or manually opened hidden handles.

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0036] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, end, etc. appear in this article to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish elements from each other for easy understanding, and are not used to define any direction or order limitation.

[0037] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a suspended car door handle comprises:

[0038] A base 1 is fixed to the inner surface of the vehicle door and is used to accommodate a handle body 2;

[0039] The handle body 2 has a closed position flush with the vehicle door and an open position moved out of the vehicle door. The handle body 2 is also provided with a transmission seat 3 protruding from the handle body 2 and placed in the base 1. The transmission seat 3 moves synchronously with the handle body 2.

[0040] A control arm 4, the control arm 4 is connected to the unlocking member, and the transmission seat 3 actuates the control arm 4 as the handle body 2 is opened, thereby unlocking the vehicle door;

[0041] The handle body 2 can be opened by pressing it manually or electrically.

[0042] like Figures 3 to 8As shown, specifically, a suspension assembly 5 is further provided in the base 1, and the suspension assembly 5 includes a baffle rod 5.1 arranged on the base 1, a blocking portion 5.2 arranged on the transmission seat 3, and a spring 5.3 abutting against the baffle rod 5.1, and the spring 5.3 exerts a force on the baffle rod 5.1 to abut against the transmission seat 3. In the trajectory of the handle body 2 from the closed position to the open position, the baffle rod 5.1 can always slide against the transmission seat 3 under the action of the spring 5.3 and smoothly cross the blocking portion 5.2, and in the trajectory of the handle body 2 from the open position to the closed position, the baffle rod 5.1 engages with the blocking portion 5.2 and prevents the handle body 2 from continuing to rotate toward the closed position, so as to keep the handle body 2 in a suspended position away from the open position.

[0043] from Figure 3 It can be seen that as a further explanation of the baffle rod 5.1, an active space 1.1 is provided in the base 1 for the transmission seat 3 to move therein, and the control arm 4 is located on one side of the active space 1.1. The opening action of the transmission seat 3 in the active space 1.1 can actuate the control arm 4. The base 1 is also provided with a guide groove 1.2 connected to the active space 1.1. The baffle rod 5.1 is preferably penetrated in the guide groove 1.2 and extends out of the active space 1.1, so that the baffle rod 5.1 and the part through which the base 1 penetrates form a guide for the baffle rod 5.1. The spring 5.3 is preferably placed at the end of the baffle rod 5.1 away from the blocking portion 5.2, and one end of the spring 5.3 abuts against the base 1, and the other end abuts against the baffle rod 5.1, thereby driving the baffle rod 5.1 to always move toward the transmission seat 3 to ensure that in the process of the handle body 2 returning from the open position to the closed position, the blocking portion 5.2 can interfere with the end of the baffle rod 5.1, thereby maintaining the hovering position of the handle body 2.

[0044] Furthermore, a slot 1.3 is provided in the base 1 corresponding to the entrance end of the guide groove 1.2. The entrance end of the guide groove 1.2 is through-set for the spring 5.3 and the baffle rod 5.1 to be inserted therein. A baffle is provided in the slot 1.3 to prevent the spring 5.3 and the baffle rod 5.1 from being separated, and the baffle also provides an abutment position for the end of the spring 5.3.

[0045] As an example of the blocking portion 5.2, the blocking portion 5.2 refers to a step protruding toward the blocking rod 5.1 on the transmission seat 3. A height difference is formed at both ends of the step-shaped blocking portion 5.2. When the handle body 2 is in the closed position, the blocking rod 5.1 is acted upon by the spring 5.3 and abuts against the relatively high position of the transmission seat 3. When the handle body 2 moves to the open position, the blocking rod 5.1 smoothly crosses the blocking portion 5.2 with the synchronous action of the transmission seat 3 and the blocking portion 5.2, and abuts against the relatively low position of the transmission seat 3. Therefore, when the handle body 2 returns to the closed position, it is necessary to overcome the obstacle of the blocking rod 5.1 crossing the blocking portion 5.2 from the relatively low position, thereby achieving hovering.

[0046] In other embodiments, the blocking portion 5.2 may also be configured as a multi-step structure.

[0047] Specifically, a stopper 5.4 is detachably embedded on the transmission seat 3, and the blocking portion 5.2 is formed on the stopper 5.4, so that the step height of the blocking portion 5.2 or the step shape of the blocking portion 5.2 can be adjusted by replacing the stopper 5.4 to control the actuation force required for the blocking rod 5.1 to overcome and move away from the blocking portion 5.2, or the relative position of the blocking portion 5.2 on the transmission seat 3 to control the hovering position of the handle body 2 being blocked, such as Fig. 9 As shown, for example, the blocking portion 5.2 is set as an inclined surface, and further, the end of the blocking rod 5.1 can also be further set as an inclined surface, so that in the hovering position, the blocking portion 5.2 and the end of the blocking rod 5.1 are inclined and cooperate with each other, thereby improving the stability in the hovering position.

[0048] Preferably, the stopper 5.4 is fixed to the transmission seat 3 by bolts.

[0049] Preferably, the stopper 5.4 is arranged in an arc shape and matches the rotation trajectory of the handle body 2.

[0050] Specifically, the blocking rod 5.1 includes a release position corresponding to the closed position of the handle body 2, and a stop position corresponding to the open position of the handle body 2. The spring 5.3 applies a force to the blocking rod 5.1 from the release position to the stop position, and keeps the blocking rod 5.1 at the stop position.

[0051] Correspondingly, the stopper 5.4 is provided with a first slideway 5.41 and a second slideway 5.42 at the front and rear portions corresponding to the blocking portion 5.2. Figure 4 As shown, the first slideway 5.41 allows the blocking rod 5.1 to move between the open position and the suspended position. At this time, the blocking rod 5.1 is in the released position, which is located at a relatively high position of the transmission seat 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second slide 5.42 allows the blocking rod 5.1 to move between the hovering position and the closed position. At this time, the blocking rod 5.1 is in or is about to enter the stop position, which is located at a relatively low position of the transmission seat 3. During the return process of the handle body 2, the blocking rod 5.1 will abut against the blocking part 5.2 to prevent the handle body 2 from returning.

[0052] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, specifically, the stopper rod 5.1 is provided with a guide portion 5.11 for engaging with the blocking portion 5.2, and the guide portion 5.11 is arranged facing the stopper 5.4. During the rotation of the handle body 2, the guide portion 5.11 maintains a sliding fit with the stopper 5.4 under the action of the spring 5.3.

[0053] As an alternative, for example Fig. 9The guide part 5.11 may be a roller 5.13, for example, a bearing member, to improve the smoothness of overcoming the blocking part 5.2. Of course, the guide part 5.11 may also be a roller 5.13. Fig.11 The raised ribs shown are provided to reduce the friction area.

[0054] As a further implementation of the guide portion 5.11 using a roller 5.13, the outer diameter of the roller 5.13 is greater than the height of the blocking portion 5.2, so that while ensuring that the handle body remains in the hovering position, it can be easily actuated to release the lock of the blocking portion 5.2, thereby allowing the handle body 2 to return to the closed position under the action of the torsion spring 6.

[0055] The guide portion 5.11 of the stopper 5.1 and the stopper 5.4 may be made of materials with a low friction coefficient or self-lubricating properties to reduce the noise generated during the movement of the various components.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the handle body 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 2.1, and a torsion spring 6 for resetting the handle is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2.1. The torsion spring 6 abuts between the base 1 and the handle body 2, and provides a force for resetting the handle body 2.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the hovering assembly 5 is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 2.1, and the guide groove 1.2 on the base 1 is arranged to fit the inner surface of the base 1, thereby compressing the space occupied by the hovering assembly 5 in the base 1, so that the hovering assembly 5 of the utility model can be applied to the existing electric-driven hidden handle or the hidden handle opened by hand, with high adaptability and simple operation. It can be implemented by only adjusting the transmission seat 3 on the handle and the local structure of the base 1, optimizing the internal structure design space of the base 1, improving space utilization, and simple and convenient assembly.

[0058] In this embodiment, a hovering assembly 5 is used to maintain the handle body 2 in a hovering position. The hovering position may correspond to the open position of the handle body 2, or a certain rotation stroke relative to the open position. At least in the hovering position, the handle body 2 can be moved, or the hand can be placed between the handle body 2 and the door to operate the handle body 2.

[0059] Of course, the hovering position may also correspond to a position between the open position and the closed position. The purpose of this method is to enable the handle body 2 to return to a certain stroke, thereby avoiding the problem of collision noise caused by the handle body 2 returning quickly at an excessively large angle.

[0060] In other embodiments, in order to further reduce abnormal noise when the handle body 2 returns to its original position, a buffer pad 1.5 is provided on the base 1, and the buffer pad 1.5 corresponds to the end of the handle body 2 away from the rotation center.

[0061] As an implementation method for releasing the handle body 2 from suspension, the blocking rod 5.1 can be actuated by an external force to move away from the blocking position 5.2 to allow the handle body 2 to return to the closed position. The external force can be a manual push from the outside of the vehicle door.

[0062] In this embodiment, the transmission seat 3 includes an unlocking portion 3.2 and an actuating portion 3.1 that are spaced apart. The above-mentioned block 5.4 is embedded in the actuating portion 3.1, and the block rod 5.1 is arranged corresponding to the actuating portion 3.1. The unlocking portion 3.2 drives the control arm 4 as the handle body 2 is opened and unlocked.

[0063] In the closed position, the blocking rod 5.1 abuts against the first slideway 5.41 of the blocking block 5.4 and is pressed by the spring 5.3 to maintain the cooperation with the first slideway 5.41;

[0064] By pressing one end of the handle body 2 and rotating the handle body 2 to the open position, the blocking rod 5.1 and the blocking block 5.4 slide relative to each other, and the blocking rod 5.1 crosses the blocking portion 5.2 and falls to the second slideway 5.42;

[0065] The handle body 2 is continuously pulled so that the unlocking portion 3.2 on the transmission seat 3 drives the control arm 4 to unlock the door. At this time, the blocking rod 5.1 slides on the second slideway 5.42 and is pressed by the spring 5.3 to keep in cooperation with the second slideway 5.42.

[0066] The handle body 2 is released, and the handle body 2 starts to return to rotation under the action of the torsion spring 6. At this time, the blocking rod 5.1 slides on the second slideway 5.42 toward the first slideway 5.41. In this process, the blocking rod 5.1 first abuts against the blocking portion 5.2, thereby preventing the handle body 2 from continuing to perform the return rotation, and then keeping the handle body 2 in a suspended position, which may correspond to the open position of the handle body 2, or a position between the open position and the closed position of the handle body 2;

[0067] The handle body 2 is actuated from the outside to overcome the force of the spring 5.3 on the blocking rod 5.1 and the force between the end of the blocking rod 5.1 and the blocking portion 5.2, so that the end of the blocking rod 5.1 passes over the blocking portion 5.2 from the second slide 5.42 and returns to the first slide 5.41, and then the handle returns to the closed position under the action of the torsion spring 6, thereby closing the handle body 2.

[0068] Of course, skilled personnel can also further connect an actuator to the baffle rod 5.1 or the transmission seat 3 on the basis of the hovering component 5, so as to apply a force to the baffle rod 5.1 to move away from the blocking part 5.2, or to apply a force to the transmission seat 3 to overcome the obstruction between the blocking part 5.2 and the baffle rod 5.1, thereby realizing automatic return of the handle body 2 after hovering.

[0069] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
