Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile handles, in particular to a flip-up handle with a micro switch. Background Art
[0002] With the development of economy, cars have become a common means of transportation for people, and the market demand for cars is increasing. Door handles are important parts of cars and are used very frequently. At present, car door handles are basically divided into hidden handles and non-hidden handles. Among them, hidden handles are roughly parallel pop-up or rotation pop-up. Both modes require a motor to drive the handle to pop out, making the structure of hidden door handles more complicated and more expensive.
[0003] The hidden handle is usually equipped with an electric switch and a mechanical switch to unlock the door. The electric switch is inductive. When the user or the remote control key approaches the handle, the electric switch senses and unlocks the door. After the electric switch is unlocked, the handle is pulled and the handle mechanically unlocks the door.
[0004] However, when the user does not need to unlock the door, but just passes by the door, the electric lock will automatically unlock due to induction, and will automatically lock when the user moves away. Under this design, the electric lock of the door can be automatically unlocked as long as the user approaches the door. When the vehicle is not in use, the user frequently passes by the door, which will cause the door to be frequently "unlocked-locked". The long-term continuous opening and closing of the electric lock will damage the internal circuit or circuit components and shorten its life. Utility Model Content
