[0041] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 The actuator assembly 100 of the door lock and the external handle according to the embodiment of the utility model is described. The suction door lock and the side door handle 12 share a driving structure 31, which simplifies the driving form of the suction door lock and the side door handle 12 and reduces the development cost. The volume of the actuator assembly is reduced, the installation space is reduced, and the structure is simpler and more reliable, which improves the user experience.

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, an actuator assembly 100 of a door lock and an outer handle according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an outer handle assembly 1 , a suction door lock assembly 2 and an actuator assembly 3 .

[0043] Specifically, the outer handle assembly 1 includes a side door handle 12, and the outer handle assembly 1 is installed on the side door of the vehicle. The connecting rod mechanism 11 is connected to the side door handle 12. The side door handle 12 can move to an open state or a closed state, showing two states of the side door handle 12, namely, the side door handle 12 is opened and extended when the user needs to use it, and the side door handle 12 is closed and retracted when the user does not use it. In other words, the side door handle 12 can be hidden in the vehicle door when not in use, making the external structure of the vehicle door more regular and smooth, thereby improving the quality of the vehicle, and the connecting rod mechanism 11 has a simple structure and runs smoothly.

[0044] The suction door lock assembly 2 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the vehicle door is closed, the suction door lock assembly 2 is locked, making the vehicle door closing safer and more reliable.

[0045] The actuator assembly 3 includes a driving structure 31, a first pull wire 32 and a second pull wire 33. The first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 are both connected to the driving structure 31. The driving structure 31 is connected to the outer handle assembly 1 through one of the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 and is suitable for pulling the outer handle assembly 1 to open. That is to say, the first pull wire 32 can be connected to the outer handle assembly 1, or the second pull wire 33 can be connected to the outer handle assembly 1. The driving structure 31 drives the first pull wire 32 to drive the outer handle assembly 1 to move, or drives the second pull wire 33 to drive the outer handle assembly 1 to move. The hand assembly 1 moves to pull the door open, and the driving structure 31 is connected to the suction door lock assembly 2 through the other of the first pull wire 23 and the second pull wire 33 and is suitable for pulling the suction door lock assembly 2 to lock. That is to say, the first pull wire 32 can be connected to the suction door lock assembly 2, or the second pull wire 33 can be connected to the suction door lock assembly 2. The driving structure 31 drives the first pull wire 23 to drive the suction door lock assembly 2 to move, or drives the second pull wire 33 to drive the suction door lock assembly 2 to move, both of which can pull the suction door lock assembly 2 to lock, thereby realizing the suction locking of the door.

[0046] Specifically, the driving structure 31 is configured to be dynamically connected to the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 at the same time. In the present embodiment, the first pull wire 32 is connected to the outer handle assembly 1, and the second pull wire 33 is connected to the suction door lock assembly 2. The driving structure 31 may include a driving motor, and the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 may be made of steel wire. In this way, the driving structure 31 may pull the first pull wire 32 to drive the side door handle 12 of the outer handle assembly 1 to move outward, and the side door handle 12 may be opened so that the user can pull the side door handle 12 to open the car door. When the side door handle 12 is not in use, the driving structure 31 may release the first pull wire 32 to drive the side door handle 12 of the outer handle assembly 1 to move inward, and the side door handle 12 may be closed, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the side door handle 12.

[0047] At the same time, after the vehicle door is closed, the driving structure 31 can pull the second pull wire 33 to drive the suction door lock assembly 2 to lock, thereby ensuring that the vehicle door is closed more safely and reliably.

[0048] Therefore, by connecting the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 on a driving structure 31 to respectively drive the side door handle 12 and the suction door lock, compared with setting two driving structures 31, the setting of the driving structure 31 is reduced, the setting cost is reduced, the overall structural volume of the door is reduced, and the weight of the vehicle body is reduced, which reflects the lightweight design.

[0049] According to the actuator assembly 100 of the door lock and the external handle of the embodiment of the utility model, the side door handle 12 can be driven to open by setting a driving structure 31 to pull the first pull wire 32, and the driving structure 31 can drive the suction door lock assembly 2 to lock by pulling the second pull wire 33. The actions of the side door handle 12 and the suction door lock can be realized by a driving structure 31, which simplifies the overall transmission form inside the side door, reduces the setting cost of the driving structure 31, and the overall structure is smaller in size, which reduces the installation space occupied by the side door, reduces the weight of the vehicle body, improves the customer experience, and has a wider range of applications.

[0050] In some embodiments, the driving structure 31 includes a driving member 311 and an installed worm wheel 312, and the output end of the driving member 311 is connected to a worm 313, which meshes with the installed worm wheel 312 for transmission, and the driving member 311 drives the installed worm wheel 312 to rotate through the worm 313, and the installed worm wheel 312 is suitable for driving the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 to move, that is, through the meshing transmission of the worm 313 and the installed worm wheel 312, the power of the driving member 311 can be transmitted to the installed worm wheel 312 through the worm 313, driving the installed worm wheel 312 to rotate, and the rotation of the installed worm wheel 312 can tighten or release the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33, so as to realize the driving of the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 to the external handle assembly 1 and the suction door lock assembly 2 respectively.

[0051] The driving member 311 may be a driving motor, such as Figure 7 As shown, the output end of the motor shaft of the driving motor is connected to the worm 313, and the two can be connected by a coupling. The worm 313 is meshed with the worm wheel 312, and the driving motor is connected with a connecting plate 314, and the connecting plate 314 is connected and fixed to the vehicle door. In the specific design, the worm wheel 312 is installed and provided with a structure for connecting the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33, which can realize the connection and fixation of the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 with the driving structure 31, and after the driving member 311 drives the worm 313 and the worm wheel 312 to rotate, it drives the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 to be tightened or released.

[0052] The other end of the first pull wire 32 is connected to the outer handle assembly 1, and the other end of the second pull wire 33 is connected to the suction door lock assembly 2. In this way, after the driving member 311 drives the worm 313 and the installed worm wheel 312 to rotate, it can respectively drive the first pull wire 32 and the outer handle assembly 1 to move, and the second pull wire 33 and the suction door lock assembly 2 to move, and the movements of the two do not interfere with each other, and do not affect the movement of the side door handle 12 and the suction door lock.

[0053] In some embodiments, a first capstan 315 and a second capstan 316 are respectively provided on both sides of the worm gear 312, the first pull wire 32 is provided with a first connecting portion 3151, the first connecting portion 3151 is connected to the first capstan 315, the second pull wire 33 is provided with a second connecting portion 3161, the second connecting portion 3161 is connected to the second capstan 316, and the first connecting portion 3151 and the second connecting portion 3161 are both spaced apart from the axis of the worm gear 312.

[0054] Specifically, the worm wheel 312 is provided with a first capstan 315 and a second capstan 316, and the first capstan 315 and the second capstan 316 are spaced apart and distributed on both sides of the axial direction of the worm wheel 312, and when the worm wheel 312 is rotated, the first capstan 315 and the second capstan 316 can be driven to rotate at the same time, wherein, Figure 7 As shown, the first cable 32 is provided with a first connection portion 3151, and the first connection portion 3151 can be configured as a first cable pull head, and the first cable pull head is used to connect the first capstan 315, and the end of the first cable 32 can be fixed on the first capstan 315, and the first cable 32 is wound around the first capstan 315 from the left side of the first capstan 315. Similarly, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the second pull wire 33 is provided with a second connecting portion 3161, and the second connecting portion 3161 can be constructed as a second pull wire pull head, and the second pull wire pull head is used to connect the second capstan 316, and the end of the second pull wire 33 can be fixed on the second capstan 316, and the second pull wire 33 is wound around the second capstan 316 from the left side of the second capstan 316, and the first connecting portion 3151 and the second connecting portion 3161 are both spaced apart from the axis of the worm gear 312, so that when the worm gear 312 is rotated, the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 can be easily rotated, thereby ensuring the effective driving of the external handle assembly 1 and the suction door lock assembly 2.

[0055] Thus, two pull wires can be driven to move simultaneously by one driving member 311, so as to respectively realize the closing and opening of the side door handle 12 and the closing of the suction door lock, and the structure is simpler and more compact.

[0056] In some embodiments, the axis of the first capstan 315 and the axis of the second capstan 316 coincide with the axis of the mounting worm wheel 312, that is, the rotation axes of the first capstan 315, the second capstan 316 and the mounting worm wheel 312 coincide, so that the rotation of the mounting worm wheel 312 simultaneously drives the first capstan 315 and the second capstan 316 to rotate, and the drive transmission process is more effective. During actual installation, the first capstan 315 and the second capstan 316 are respectively installed on the rotating shaft of the mounting worm wheel 312, so that the mounting worm wheel 312, the first capstan 315 and the second capstan 316 rotate simultaneously, driving the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 to tighten or loosen.

[0057] In some embodiments, the worm gear 312 is installed to drive the first pull wire 32 to tighten and the second pull wire 33 to loosen when rotating in the first direction, and to drive the second pull wire 33 to tighten and the first pull wire 32 to loosen when rotating in the second direction. That is, when the worm gear 312 is installed to rotate, the rotation directions of the first capstan 315 and the second capstan 316 are opposite, that is, the states of pulling the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 are opposite.

[0058] Specifically, the first direction can be clockwise, and the second direction can be counterclockwise. When the worm gear 312 is installed and rotated in the clockwise direction, the first capstan 315 rotates in the clockwise direction, driving the first pull wire 32 to rotate in the clockwise direction to tighten the first pull wire 32, and the second capstan 316 rotates in the clockwise direction, driving the second pull wire 33 to rotate in the clockwise direction to loosen the second pull wire 33. When the worm gear 312 is installed and rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the first capstan 315 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, driving the first pull wire 32 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction to loosen the first pull wire 32, and the second capstan 316 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, driving the second pull wire 33 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction to tighten the second pull wire 33. By switching the different directions of the driving member 311, the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 can be tightened or loosened respectively, and different functions can be achieved respectively.

[0059] The first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 have tightened and relaxed states respectively, that is, the driving member 311 can drive the side door handle 12 to open or the door lock to lock in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation direction. Thus, the driving member 311 drives the first capstan 315 to rotate clockwise to tighten the first pull wire 32 to drive the side door handle 12 to open, and the driving member 311 drives the second capstan 316 to rotate counterclockwise to tighten the second pull wire 33 to drive the door lock assembly to close. 2 is locked; on the contrary, the driving member 311 can drive the second capstan 316 to rotate counterclockwise to tighten the second pull wire 33. At this time, the second pull wire 33 is connected to the side door handle 12 assembly to drive the side door handle 12 to open, and the driving member 311 drives the first capstan 315 to rotate clockwise to tighten the first pull wire 32. At this time, the first pull wire 32 can be connected to the suction door lock assembly 2 to drive the suction door lock assembly 2 to lock. The driving method of this driving structure 31 is flexible and easy to use.

[0060] In some embodiments, the axis of the worm wheel 312 is perpendicular to the axis of the worm 313. Specifically, the axis of the worm 313 coincides with the axis of the motor shaft of the drive motor. The axis of the worm wheel 312 is perpendicular to the axis of the worm 313, and the axes of the two are spaced apart. The worm wheel 312 is located above the worm 313. The worm 313 and the worm wheel 312 can be installed vertically along the door, reducing the space occupied by the axial direction of the worm 313. By utilizing the vertical installation space 131, the layout of the drive structure 31 is more reasonable and compact. With this arrangement, the drive member 311 drives the worm 313 to engage with the worm wheel 312 for transmission, so that the power of the drive member 311 can be transmitted to the worm wheel 312, thereby realizing the transmission of power in different directions to meet the design requirements.

[0061] And / or, the first pull cord 32 and / or the second pull cord 33 are covered with protective cotton 321, and the protective cotton 321 protects the first pull cord 32 and the second pull cord 33. The protective cotton 321 can be made of foam, and the foam is covered on the outside of the first pull cord 32 and / or the second pull cord 33 to protect the first pull cord 32 and the second pull cord 33. The first pull cord 32 and the second pull cord 33 will be periodically tightened or relaxed. The provision of the protective cotton 321 can reduce the wear on the first pull cord 32 and the second pull cord 33.

[0062] In some embodiments, the outer handle assembly 1 includes a connecting rod mechanism 11 and a side door handle 12 , and the driving structure 31 is connected to the connecting rod mechanism 11 through one of a first pull wire 32 and a second pull wire 33 and is suitable for pulling the side door handle 12 to open through the connecting rod mechanism 11 .

[0063] That is to say, the first pull wire 32 can be connected to the connecting rod mechanism 11, or the second pull wire 33 can be connected to the connecting rod mechanism 11, and the driving structure 31 drives the first pull wire 32 to drive the connecting rod mechanism 11 to move, or drives the second pull wire 33 to drive the connecting rod mechanism 11 to move, both of which can pull the car door open.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first pull wire 32 is connected to the connecting rod mechanism 11 , and the connecting rod mechanism 11 is connected to the side door handle 12 . When the connecting rod mechanism 11 moves, the side door handle 12 can be driven to move, thereby opening or closing the side door handle 12 .

[0065] Therefore, the driving structure 31 can pull the first pull wire 32 to drive the connecting rod mechanism 11 to move, and the connecting rod mechanism 11 pushes the side door handle 12 to move outward, so that the side door handle 12 can be opened. When the side door handle 12 is not in use, the driving structure 31 can release the first pull wire 32 to drive the connecting rod mechanism 11 to move inward, and the connecting rod mechanism 11 drives the side door handle 12 to move inward, so that the side door handle 12 can be closed, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the side door handle 12.

[0066] In some embodiments, the outer handle assembly 1 also includes a handle base 13, which can provide an installation space 131 for other structures of the outer handle assembly 1, and a plurality of connecting holes are provided on the handle base 13, and the plurality of connecting holes are used to install the outer handle assembly 1 in the vehicle door through connecting bolts and other connecting parts, and one of the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 is connected to the driving slider 14, that is, the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 can both be connected to pull the driving slider 14, and the output end of one of them is connected to the driving slider 14 for driving the driving slider 14 to move, wherein the driving slider 14 is slidably connected to the handle base 13, so that the first pull wire 32 can drive the driving slider 14 to slide relative to the handle base 13.

[0067] The connecting rod mechanism 11 includes a first connecting rod 111, a main rocker arm 112, and a second connecting rod 113. The first connecting rod 111 is connected to the driving slider 14. The main rocker arm 112 and the second connecting rod 113 are respectively movably mounted on the handle base 13 and are respectively connected to the two ends of the side door handle 12. One of the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 is suitable for pulling the driving slider 14 to push the first connecting rod 111 to drive the main rocker arm 112 and the second connecting rod 113 to jointly drive the side door handle 12 to open. Specifically, an installation space 131 for installing the first connecting rod 111 is provided in the handle base 13. The first connecting rod 111 can move relative to the installation space 131, and the main rocker arm 112 and the second connecting rod 113 can be movably mounted in the handle base 13. Specifically, the main rocker arm 112 and the second connecting rod 113 can rotate relative to the handle base 13, and the main rocker arm 112 is movably connected to one end of the side door handle 12, and the second connecting rod 113 is movably connected to the other end of the side door handle 12, and as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the driving slider 14 is provided with a connecting boss 141 on one side close to the first connecting rod 111. Correspondingly, the first connecting rod 111 is provided with a connecting slot 1111 on one side close to the driving slider 14. The connecting boss 141 is connected to the connecting slot 1111 by snapping. Figure 3 As shown, the output end of the first pull wire 32 is connected to the driving slider 14, so that the driving member 311 can drive the first pull wire 32 to pull the driving slider 14 to move to the left, which can drive the first connecting rod 111 to move to the left, and at the same time push the main rocker arm 112 and the second connecting rod 113 to rotate relative to the handle base 13, which can respectively drive the two ends of the side door handle 12 to move outward, thereby driving the side door handle 12 to open.

[0068] It should be noted that, Figure 4As shown, in the direction from the inside to the outside of the outer handle assembly 1, the driving slider 14 and the first connecting rod 111 are located at the innermost side, and the main rocker arm 112 and the second connecting rod 113 are located between the side door handle 12 and the first connecting rod 111, wherein the second connecting rod 113 is rotationally connected to the rotating shaft 15, and the rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the handle base 13, thereby, the second connecting rod 113 can be rotated relative to the handle base 13 through the rotating shaft 15, and similarly, the main rocker arm 112 is also rotationally connected to the handle base 13 through the rotating shaft. Among them, the first connecting rod 111 can be constructed as a square frame type, and the left and right ends of the first connecting rod 111 are used to push the second connecting rod 113 and the main rocker arm 112 to move, and a pushing surface 1121 is provided on the main rocker arm 112, which is used to contact the right end of the first connecting rod 111. Thus, the left and right ends of the first connecting rod 111 jointly push the rotating shaft 15 connected to the second connecting rod 113 and the pushing surface 1121 of the main rocker arm 112 to move to the left, and the second connecting rod 113 and the main rocker arm 112 push the left and right ends of the side door handle 12 to move outward, which can automatically open the side door handle 12 and ensure that the side door handle 12 is pushed out in parallel.

[0069] In some embodiments, the end of the first pull wire 32 is provided with a pull wire cap 322, a pull wire body 323 and a pull wire head 324, the pull wire body 323 is passed through the pull wire cap 322 and connected to the pull wire head 324, the pull wire cap 322 is installed on the handle back cover 16, and the pull wire head 324 is connected to the driving slider 14, wherein, Figure 1 As shown, a handle back cover 16 is installed on the inner side of the handle base 13, and the handle back cover 16 is detachably connected to the handle base 13 to enclose other structures such as the connecting rod mechanism 11, the side door handle 12 and the driving slider 14, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the wire cap 322, the wire body 323 and the wire pull head 324 are distributed along the sliding direction of the driving slider 14, wherein the handle back cover 16 is provided with a through hole for passing the first wire 32, the wire body 323 passes through the through hole from the outside of the handle back cover 16, and then passes through the wire cap 322 to be connected with the wire pull head 324, and the wire pull head 324 is fixedly connected to the right end of the driving slider 14, and the wire cap 322 is fixedly connected to the handle back cover 16, so that the connection and fixation of the output end of the first wire 32 can be realized.

[0070] An elastic member 325 is provided between the wire ironing cap 322 and the wire pull head 324. The wire pull body 323 is suitable for driving the wire pull head 324 to move along a first straight line direction, and the elastic member 325 is used to apply an elastic force along a second straight line direction to the wire pull head 324. The first straight line direction is opposite to the second straight line direction, that is, when the wire pull body 323 drives the wire pull head 324 to move along the first straight line direction, the elastic member 325 applies an elastic force opposite to the first straight line direction to the wire pull head 324, and the elastic force of the elastic member 325 pushes the wire pull head 324 to move in the opposite direction, thereby resetting the wire pull head 324.

[0071] Specifically, the elastic member 325 can be a spring, and the elastic member 325 is sleeved on the outside of the pull wire body 323, and the two ends of the elastic member 325 can be fixedly connected to the pull wire cap 322 and the pull wire head 324 respectively, wherein the first linear direction can be movement to the left, and the second linear direction can be movement to the right. In this way, when the pull wire body 323 pulls the pull wire head 324 to move to the left, the driving slider 14 moves to the left. Because the pull wire cap 322 is fixed to the handle back cover 16, the driving slider 14 pushes the elastic member 325 to be compressed to the left. At this time, the elastic member 325 has an elastic force to the right on the pull wire head 324. When the driving member 311 drives the first pull wire 32 to relax, the elastic member 325 pushes the pull wire head 324 to the right, which can push the driving slider 14 to move to the right, thereby realizing the reset of the driving slider 14.

[0072] In addition, a return torsion spring may be provided at the rotating shaft 15 to drive the side door handle 12 to retract. After the elastic member 325 pushes the driving slider 14 to move to the right, and through the action of the return torsion spring, the rotating shaft 15 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the second connecting rod 113 to rotate inward, driving the side door handle 12 to retract back, thereby realizing automatic resetting of the side door handle 12.

[0073] In some embodiments, the suction door lock assembly 2 includes a transmission mechanism 21, a lock tongue 22, a full lock pawl 23 and a half lock pawl 25, wherein the suction door lock assembly 2 is installed on a side door of a vehicle, and the transmission mechanism 21, the lock tongue 22, the full lock pawl 23 and the half lock pawl 25 are not connected. The lock tongue 22 can be driven to move by the transmission mechanism 21 so that the lock tongue 22 is locked with the full lock pawl 23, thereby achieving full locking of the suction door lock.

[0074] It should be noted that the transmission mechanism 21, the lock tongue 22, the full lock pawl 23 and the half lock pawl 25 can all rotate relative to the vehicle body, and the suction door lock assembly 2 is also provided with a lock ring 24, which is a fixed end. When the vehicle door is closed, the lock ring 24 is inserted into the lock tongue 22, and drives the lock tongue 22 to rotate and lock with the half lock pawl 25, so that the lock tongue 22 can be half locked. Figure 5 The figure shows the semi-locked state of the vehicle door. In this embodiment, the semi-locked state of the vehicle door is converted into a fully locked state through the actuator assembly 3, so that the vehicle door is automatically fully locked.

[0075] The driving structure 31 is connected to the transmission mechanism 21 through the other of the first pull wire 32 and the second pull wire 33 and is suitable for pushing the lock tongue 22 and the full lock pawl 23 to lock through the transmission mechanism 21 when the half lock pawl 25 and the lock tongue 22 are in a half lock state.

[0076] That is to say, the first pull wire 32 can be connected to the transmission mechanism 21, or the second pull wire 33 can be connected to the transmission mechanism 21. When the half-locked pawl 25 and the lock tongue 22 are half-locked, the driving structure 31 drives the first pull wire 23 to drive the transmission mechanism 21 to move, or drives the second pull wire 33 to drive the transmission mechanism 21 to move, both of which can push the lock tongue 22 and the full-locked pawl 23 to lock, thereby achieving full locking of the vehicle door.

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second pull wire 33 is connected to the transmission mechanism 21, and can drive the lock tongue 22 to lock with the full lock pawl 23 when the transmission mechanism 21 moves. Figure 5 When in the semi-locked position shown in the figure, the semi-locked pawl 25 presses against the lock tongue 22, and the semi-locked pawl 25 will drive the travel switch (not shown in the figure) to give the driving structure 31 a fully locked attraction signal. After receiving the signal, the driving structure 31 can pull the second pull wire 33 to drive the transmission mechanism 21 to move. The transmission mechanism 21 pushes the lock tongue 22 to rotate and engage and lock with the fully locked pawl 23, thereby switching the semi-locked state of the car door to the fully locked state, ensuring that the car door is closed more safely and reliably.

[0078] In some embodiments, the suction door lock assembly 2 further includes a door lock housing 26, which can provide an installation position for other structures of the suction door lock assembly 2, and the door lock housing 26 is provided with a plurality of connection holes, and the plurality of connection holes are used to install the suction door lock assembly 2 in the vehicle door through connecting bolts and other connecting parts. The transmission mechanism 21 includes a suction rocker arm 27 and a suction push arm 28, and the suction rocker arm 27, the suction push arm 28 and the lock tongue 22 can all be rotatably installed on the door lock housing 26, and the suction rocker arm 27 is connected to the second pull wire 33, and the second pull wire 33 is suitable for driving the suction rocker arm 27 to drive the suction push arm 28 to drive the lock tongue 22 to move relative to the full lock pawl 23.

[0079] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 21 can rotate relative to the door lock housing 26, and the suction rocker arm 27 and the lock tongue 22 can be rotatably connected to the door lock housing 26 by rivets 29 or a core shaft, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the suction rocker arm 27 can be set to a V-shaped structure, one end of the V-shaped suction rocker arm 27 is rotatably connected to the door lock housing 26, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second pull wire 33 through the suction pull wire pull head 332, wherein the suction rocker arm 27 is fixedly connected to the suction push arm 28, as shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown, when the second pull wire 33 pulls the suction rocker arm 27 downward, the suction rocker arm 27 and the suction push arm 28 rotate clockwise relative to the rotation axis of the suction rocker arm 27. When the notch on the suction push arm 28 contacts the lock tongue 22, the suction rocker arm 27 continues to rotate clockwise to push the lock tongue 22 to rotate clockwise relative to its own rotation axis, which can drive the full-lock pawl 23 to snap into the notch of the lock tongue 22, and realize the electric suction full-lock locking action of the suction door lock assembly 2. After the car door is fully locked, the driving member 311 can drive the second pull wire 33 to relax, and the suction rocker arm 27 and the suction push arm 28 rotate counterclockwise to achieve reset.

[0080] Among them, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fully locked pawls 23 are two, namely the first pawl 231 and the second pawl 232. The first pawl 231 and the half-locked pawl 25 are coaxially connected and both rotate relative to the door lock housing 26. In the fully locked state, the first pawl 231 is engaged with the lock tongue 22, and the second pawl 232 is pressed against the first pawl 231, so that the first pawl 231 and the second pawl 232 lock the lock tongue 22 at the same time, and a movable portion is provided between the half-locked pawl 25 and the second pawl 232. The rotating transmission member 233, when the door lock is unlocked, drives the transmission member 233 to rotate clockwise by pushing the half-locked pawl 25 to rotate counterclockwise, and the transmission member 233 pushes the second pawl 232 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second pawl 232 is unlocked from the first pawl 231. When the half-locked pawl 25 continues to rotate counterclockwise, it pushes the unlocking boss on the first pawl 231 to push the first pawl 231 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby realizing the unlocking of the first pawl 231 and the lock tongue 22.

[0081] And, if Figure 6 As shown, the suction pull wire hot cap 331 is fixedly connected to the door lock housing 26, the second pull wire 33 is passed through the suction pull wire hot cap 331 and connected to the suction pull wire pull head 332, and a suction pull wire protective glue 333 is provided between the suction pull wire hot cap 331 and the suction pull wire pull head 332 for protecting the second pull wire 33 and reducing the wear of the second pull wire 33.
