[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the button 3 includes a pressing portion 31 and an extruding portion 32, a ball head structure 33 is provided at the end of the extruding portion 32, and a first return spring 5 is provided on the outer sleeve of the extruding portion 32. When the pressing portion 31 of the button 3 is pressed, the ball head structure 33 at the end of the button 3 presses the rotating block 4, causing the rotating block 4 to rotate, thereby unlocking the unlocking rod 8 and the door lock. During the process of pressing the pressing portion 31 to unlock, the first return spring 5 is compressed and stores energy. After unlocking is completed, the first return spring 5 automatically extends and the button 3 is reset. The user can unlock the door by pressing the button 3, and it can be automatically reset, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] Exemplarily, the extrusion portion 32 is a cylindrical structure, which is convenient for installation and processing.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the rotating block 4 is provided with an arc-shaped extrusion surface 41 that cooperates with the ball head structure 33. The extrusion surface 41 is set to an arc shape, so that when the ball head structure 33 extrudes the extrusion surface 41, there is point contact between the two. Compared with surface contact or line contact, the friction between the two is smaller, which is conducive to the rapid response and rotation of the rotating block 4 when the ball head structure 33 extrudes the extrusion surface 41, and is also conducive to the smooth movement of the rotating block 4.

[0052] The ball head structure 33 cooperates with the arc-shaped extrusion surface 41, so that the extrusion surface 41 does not need to be set at the end of the rotating block 4, which can reduce the volume of the rotating block 4 and optimize the spatial layout of the door outer handle assembly. At the same time, the door is unlocked through the cooperation of the button 3 and the rotating block 4, which is conducive to achieving lightweight of the vehicle and reducing fuel consumption.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a bracket 22 is arranged on the inner side of the base 2, a rotating shaft 6 is arranged on the bracket 22, a second reset spring 7 is arranged on the rotating shaft 6, and the rotating block 4 is rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft 6. The bracket 22 is used to install the rotating shaft 6, which is conducive to the rotation of the rotating block 4. When the button 3 is pressed to unlock the door, the rotating block 4 is driven by the button 3 to rotate, and the second reset spring 7 stores energy; after the pressing is completed, the rotating block 4 is reset under the action of the second reset spring 7. When the user presses the button 3, the ball head structure 33 of the button 3 and the extrusion surface 41 of the rotating block 4 cooperate to realize unlocking. After unlocking, the rotating block 4 can be automatically reset, which improves the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the housing 102 is provided with a mounting hole 104, the pressing portion 31 is arranged in the mounting hole 104, the bottom of the pressing portion 31 is provided with a first flange 311 along the circumferential direction, the inner side of the mounting hole 104 is provided with a second flange 103 along the circumferential direction, and the second flange 103 cooperates with the first flange 311 to limit the pressing portion 31 to prevent the button 3 from falling out of the mounting hole 104. The pressing portion 31 is accommodated in the mounting hole 104, making the door outer handle assembly more beautiful.

[0055] In other embodiments, when the button 3 is not pressed, part of the structure of the pressing portion 31 is accommodated in the mounting hole 104, and the end of the pressing portion 31 extends out of the mounting hole 104 (that is, the end is exposed on the outside of the handle 1), so that the user can operate the exposed pressing portion 31 to unlock the vehicle.

[0056] A second embodiment of the present utility model provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned vehicle outer door handle assembly.

[0057] The vehicle door outer handle assembly is provided by installing a base 2 on the vehicle door sheet metal, setting a rotating block 4 on the inner side of the base 2, and setting an unlocking pull rod 8 on the rotating block 4; setting a handle 1 on the outer side of the base 2, and setting a button 3 on the handle 1; the user operates the end of the button 3 to squeeze the rotating block 4 to rotate the rotating block 4, so that the unlocking pull rod 8 is disconnected from the vehicle door lock to achieve unlocking.
