[0002] As a key element of car interior, the design of door handles is directly related to the aesthetics of the vehicle and the user experience. For a long time, the design of traditional door handles has mainly revolved around stick-shaped or ring-shaped rotating handles. Although this type of design can meet the needs of opening the door in terms of function, it has obvious limitations in terms of structural complexity, space occupation and ease of operation. For example, the mechanical structure of the rotating handle is relatively complex, including but not limited to rotating shafts, springs, shaft pin sleeves and other components, which not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also makes the handle assembly size larger, occupying valuable space in the car. In addition, the rotating operation mechanism requires the user to rotate at a specific angle to unlock the door, which may cause inconvenience or even delay in operation for users who carry items or operate in an emergency. In addition, large rotating handles are contrary to the simple and streamlined design style pursued by modern car interiors, affecting the overall aesthetics of the vehicle interior.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a vehicle door handle assembly is mounted on a vehicle door and connected to a door lock structure 600. The vehicle door handle assembly includes:

[0027] substrate 100;

[0028] A limiting structure 200, the limiting structure 200 includes at least two supporting legs 210 connected to the base plate 100;

[0029] The sliding assembly 300 includes a sliding plate 310 slidably disposed between the base plate 100 and the limiting structure 200. The sliding plate 310 is clamped between the two supporting feet 210 and is slidably connected to the supporting feet 210. One end of the sliding plate 310 is connected to the door lock structure 600, and the other end is connected to the limiting structure 200 through an elastic member 400. When the user pushes the sliding plate 310, the sliding plate 310 moves horizontally along the limiting structure 200 to drive the door lock structure 600 to unlock. When the user releases the sliding plate 310, the elastic member 400 drives the sliding plate 310 to reset and drive the door lock structure 600 to lock. The sliding unlocking of the door lock structure 600 is realized. Compared with the rotary operation mechanism in the prior art, the sliding operation is more convenient, and the overall structure of the door handle assembly is greatly simplified, the occupation of the internal space of the door is reduced, and the aesthetics of the door interior is improved.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to improve the convenience of assembling the door handle assembly with the vehicle door, in the present embodiment, the door handle assembly includes a rectangular base plate 100, and a limiting structure 200 and a sliding assembly 300 integrated with the base plate 100, so that during assembly, the base plate 100, the limiting structure 200 and the sliding assembly 300 can be assembled with the vehicle door as a whole without the need to assemble individual components one by one on site, thereby greatly improving the assembly efficiency and convenience of the door handle assembly.

[0031] In this embodiment, the base plate 100 is provided with a first groove 110 for the protrusion 320 to extend out, so that the user can move the sliding plate 310 by pushing the protrusion 320, thereby improving the convenience of user operation. The first groove 110 extends along the length direction of the base plate 100, and the extension length is adapted to the movement of the sliding plate 310 to ensure the effectiveness of the movement stroke of the sliding plate 310.

[0032] In order to guide and limit the movement of the sliding part, in this embodiment, a limiting structure 200 is provided on the base plate 100, and the limiting structure 200 includes at least two supporting feet 210 connected to the base plate 100, and the two supporting feet 210 are arranged symmetrically up and down so that the sliding plate 310 can be clamped therein to form a longitudinal limitation for the sliding plate 310, so that the sliding plate 310 can only extend along the horizontal direction of the limiting structure 200, thereby guiding the movement of the sliding part.

[0033] Preferably, in this embodiment, four supporting feet 210 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the first groove 110 in pairs and arranged along the length direction of the sliding plate 310, thereby expanding the connection area between the sliding plate 310 and the limiting structure 200, effectively ensuring the stability of the support for the sliding plate 310, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the sliding plate 310.

[0034] In this embodiment, a roller 211 is provided on the supporting foot 210, and a sliding groove 212 is provided on the roller 211 which is slidably connected to the sliding plate 310, and the sliding groove 212 forms a clamping shape for the sliding plate 310 to longitudinally limit the sliding plate 310. While ensuring the smooth movement of the sliding plate 310, the smoothness of the movement of the sliding plate 310 is improved, and at the same time, the direct friction between the sliding plate 310 and the supporting foot 210 is reduced, thereby reducing wear and tear, which helps to extend the service life of the door handle assembly.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting structure 200 also includes a mounting plate 220 arranged in the direction of the supporting foot 210 away from the substrate 100, and the mounting plate 220 is located between the first limiting portion 340 and the second limiting portion 350. When the mounting plate 220 abuts against the first limiting portion 340 or the second limiting portion 350, the mounting plate 220 laterally limits the sliding plate 310 to prevent the sliding plate 310 from exceeding the effective range of the movement stroke, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the sliding plate 310.

[0036] In this embodiment, the center of the mounting plate 220 is provided with a second groove 221 for the fixing member 330 to move, and a first mounting portion 222 for the cable 620 of the door lock structure 600 to pass through. The second groove 221 extends along the moving direction of the sliding plate 310, and the extension length is adapted to the movement stroke of the sliding plate 310, so as to ensure the effectiveness of the sliding plate 310 driving the fixing member 330 to move, and make the overall structure of the door handle assembly more compact, reducing the occupation of the internal space of the door. The provision of the first mounting portion 222 enables the door lock structure 600 to be more stably connected to the door handle assembly.

[0037] In this embodiment, a second mounting portion 223 is further provided on the mounting plate 220, and an electric switch assembly 500 electrically connected to the door lock structure 600 is detachably provided on the second mounting portion 223, so that the door handle assembly has dual unlocking functions of electronic unlocking and mechanical unlocking, which greatly meets the different needs of users.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second mounting portion 223 has a U-shaped notch 224 for the micro switch 520 to pass through, and the notch 224 is communicated with the bracket 510 .

[0039] In this embodiment, a sensing member 225 adjacent to and aligned with the micro switch 520 is further provided on the mounting plate 220. The sensing member 225 is a metal paddle. When the sensing member 225 abuts against the second trigger portion 312, the sensing member 225 applies a reaction force to the sliding plate 310, so that a sense of obstruction is generated when the user pushes the protrusion 320 to this position, thereby reminding the user to perform electric unlocking.

[0040] In this embodiment, a connecting hole 226 is further provided on the mounting plate 220 . The connecting hole 226 is connected to the sliding plate 310 through the elastic member 400 , so as to realize the resetting of the sliding plate 310 by cooperating with the elastic member 400 .

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the elastic member 400 is a return spring.

[0042] In this embodiment, the sliding assembly 300 includes a sliding plate 310 slidably disposed between the base plate 100 and the limiting structure 200. The sliding plate 310 is rectangular, is clamped between four supporting legs 210, and forms a sliding connection with the sliding groove 212 so that the sliding plate 310 can move smoothly and steadily in the horizontal direction along the limiting structure 200.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in the present embodiment, the sliding plate 310 is provided with a protrusion 320 passing through the first groove 110 on one side facing the base plate 100, and is provided with a fixing member 330 for connecting with the door lock structure 600 on the other side facing the limiting structure 200. When the user pushes the protrusion 320, the sliding plate 310 drives the fixing member 330 to move horizontally away from the door lock structure 600, driving the door lock structure 600 to unlock. When the user releases the protrusion 320, the sliding plate 310 is reset under the action of the elastic member 400, and drives the fixing member 330 to move horizontally toward the door lock structure 600, driving the door lock structure 600 to lock, thereby realizing the sliding unlocking and locking of the door lock structure 600, and further realizing the opening and closing of the vehicle door.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 310 has a first limit portion 340 and a second limit portion 350 extending in a direction away from the substrate 100 at both ends, and the first limit portion 340 and the second limit portion 350 are symmetrically arranged. When the sliding plate 310 exceeds the movement range, the first limit portion 340 or the second limit portion 350 abuts against the side of the mounting plate 220.

[0045] In this embodiment, two of the first limiting portion 340 and the second limiting portion 350 are provided, which are arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and a buffer member 360 is provided on the first limiting portion 340 and the second limiting portion 350, so that the first limiting portion 340 and the second limiting portion 350 can abut against the mounting plate 220 through the buffer member 360 to absorb the impact force of the sliding plate 310 on the mounting plate 220, thereby avoiding direct collision between the sliding plate 310 and the mounting plate 220, and effectively improving the service life of the sliding plate 310 and the mounting plate 220.

[0046] Preferably, the buffer member 360 is a rubber gasket.

[0047] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 310 is further provided with a fixing portion 313 away from the door lock structure 600. The fixing portion 313 is connected to the connecting hole 226 through the elastic member 400 to cooperate with the elastic member 400 and the connecting hole 226 to achieve the resetting of the sliding plate 310.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 310 is provided with a first trigger portion 311 toward the mounting plate 220. The first trigger portion 311 is used as a trigger for starting the electric switch. As the sliding plate 310 moves, it moves toward the electric switch assembly 500. When the first trigger portion 311 abuts against the electric switch assembly 500, the door lock structure 600 can be driven to perform electric unlocking to achieve the electronic unlocking function. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first trigger portion 311 is a convex strip.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first trigger portion 311 extends along the sliding direction of the sliding plate 310 . When the sliding plate 310 moves to the first position, the first trigger portion 311 is located below the micro switch 520 and abuts against the micro switch 520 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the first position is the position that triggers the micro switch 520 to start.

[0051] In this embodiment, the electric switch assembly 500 includes a bracket 510 detachably mounted on the second mounting portion 223, and a micro switch 520 disposed on the bracket 510 and protruding toward the sliding plate 310. The micro switch 520 is electrically connected to the door lock structure 600 to achieve electric unlocking of the door lock structure 600.

[0052] In this embodiment, a second trigger portion 312 adjacent to and aligned with the first trigger portion 311 is provided on the sliding plate 310. The second trigger portion 312 is a convex strip that forms an abutment fit with the sensing member 225. When the first trigger portion 311 abuts against the micro switch 520, the sensing member 225 synchronously abuts against the second trigger portion 312 and applies a reaction force to the sliding plate 310, thereby realizing inductive feedback on the activation of the micro switch 520.

[0053] In this embodiment, the door lock structure 600 includes a mounting seat 610 and a pull cable 620 disposed in the mounting seat 610 .
