[0024] Various specific embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings that form a part of this specification. It should be understood that although terms indicating directions, such as "front", "rear", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., are used in this application to describe various example structural parts and elements of the present application, these terms are used here only for the purpose of convenience of description and are determined based on the example orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present application can be set in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations.

[0025] Figure 1A-1B The general structure of a handle assembly according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1A The handle assembly 100 is a three-dimensional structural diagram showing a case where the cover plate 110 of the handle assembly 100 is in a closed position. Figure 1B FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the handle assembly 100 when the cover plate 110 of the handle assembly 100 is in an open position. Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the handle assembly 100 includes a handle base 120 and a mechanical unlocking mechanism and an electronic unlocking mechanism 263 (see Figure 2B ). The mechanical unlocking mechanism and the electronic unlocking mechanism are configured to independently unlock the door lock of the vehicle so that the door of the vehicle can be opened. As an example, in a normal state of the vehicle, the operator can unlock the door lock of the vehicle by operating the electronic unlocking mechanism, thereby opening the door. In some special states of the vehicle, such as when the vehicle is powered off or the electronic unlocking mechanism fails, the operator can unlock the door lock by operating the mechanical unlocking mechanism, thereby opening the door.

[0026] The handle base 120 defines an operation cavity 158, and the electronic unlocking mechanism is arranged in the operation cavity 158. In this embodiment, the handle base 120 includes a housing 101 and a handle body 102 arranged on the upper part of the housing 101. The housing 101 and the handle body 102 are spaced apart to define a lower cavity 132. The inner side of the handle body 102 and the housing 101 are spaced apart to form an inner cavity 138, and the electronic unlocking mechanism is arranged in the inner cavity 138. The inner cavity 138 and the lower cavity 132 are connected to each other to form the operation cavity 158. The inner cavity 138 is located above the lower cavity 132, and the lower cavity 132 is connected to the outside of the handle assembly 100. As a result, the operator's hand can be inserted into the inner cavity 138 through the lower cavity 132 to operate the electronic unlocking mechanism in the inner cavity 138.

[0027] The mechanical unlocking mechanism is disposed on the handle base 120 outside the operating cavity 158. The handle assembly 100 further includes a cover plate 110, which is movably connected to the handle base 120. In the present application, the cover plate 110 has a Figure 1A The closed position shown and Figure 1B In the open position shown, the cover 110 can reciprocate between the open position and the closed position. When the cover 110 is in the closed position, the cover 110 covers the mechanical unlocking mechanism; when the cover 110 is in the open position, the mechanical unlocking mechanism is exposed to allow the operator to operate the mechanical unlocking mechanism. The length of the cover 110 is roughly the same as the length of the handle base 120, that is, the cover 110 roughly completely covers the length range of the handle base 120. The outer surface of the cover 110 in the closed position is roughly flush with the outer surface of the handle base 120 (combined with Figure 3A and Figure 3B This arrangement allows the cover plate 110 to be roughly integrated with the handle base 120 visually, which is more beautiful.

[0028] In this embodiment, the mechanical unlocking mechanism includes a mechanical lock 161 and a mechanical pull rope 162. The mechanical lock 161 is located on the housing 101 on the right side of the electronic unlocking mechanism and has a key hole 163 arranged toward the outside. The lock core of the mechanical lock 161 is mechanically connected to the door lock of the vehicle so that the mechanical lock 161 can unlock the door lock. The mechanical pull rope 162 is located on the handle body 102 on the left side of the electronic unlocking mechanism, and the mechanical pull rope 162 is mechanically connected to the door lock of the vehicle so that the mechanical pull rope 162 can unlock the door lock. As an example, the handle body 102 has an opening cavity 108 opening toward the outside, and the mechanical pull rope 162 is arranged in the opening cavity 108. When the cover plate 110 is in the closed position, the cover plate 110 covers the key hole 163 and the opening of the opening cavity 108 from the front side to cover the mechanical lock 161 and the mechanical pull rope 162. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the mechanical unlocking mechanism may include only one of the mechanical lock 161 and the mechanical pull rope 162, or may include more types of mechanical unlocking mechanisms to improve the safety and reliability of the handle assembly in opening the door lock.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cover plate 110 is pivotally mounted to the handle seat 120 via a pair of rotating shafts 118, so that the cover plate 110 can rotate around the pair of rotating shafts 118, thereby performing a flipping movement between its open position and closed position. The pair of rotating shafts 118 are coaxially arranged, and the axes of the pair of rotating shafts 118 extend along the length direction of the handle assembly 100. The pair of rotating shafts 118 are connected to the left and right sides of the cover plate 110 via their respective connecting members 112. As an example, the connecting member 112 is in the shape of a gooseneck that bends inward, the bottom end of the connecting member 112 is connected to the inner side of the cover plate 110, and the rotating shaft 118 is arranged at the top end of the connecting member 112. The gooseneck-shaped connecting member 112 can save the size of the handle assembly 100, and ensure that the operator has enough space to operate the mechanical unlocking device when the cover plate 110 is flipped open. In other embodiments, the cover plate 110 can also be installed to the handle base 120 by displacement movement, etc., and it is only necessary to set the position of the mechanical unlocking mechanism accordingly so that the mechanical unlocking mechanism can be exposed when the cover plate 110 is displaced. In addition, the cover plate can also be installed to the handle base by other numbers of rotating shafts, or the rotating shafts can be connected to other positions of the cover plate.

[0030] The handle assembly 100 further includes a locking device 140 for maintaining the cover 110 in its closed position. When the cover 110 needs to be opened, the operator can unlock the locking device 140, thereby allowing the cover 110 to move to its open position. In this embodiment, the locking device 140 includes a handle locking member 141 and a cover locking member 142 that cooperate with each other and a slider 145. The handle locking member 141 is arranged on the handle body 102, generally extending from the inside to the outside, and has a certain elasticity. The slider 145 is arranged on the handle body 102 and is arranged to be able to slide up and down, and the bottom of the slider 145 passes through the handle body 102, so that the operator can push the slider 145 through the lower cavity 132. The upward sliding of the slider 145 can push the handle locking member 141 so that the handle locking member 141 can be elastically deformed. The cover locking member 142 is arranged on the inner side of the cover 110, and generally extends from the outside to the inside. In this embodiment, the handle locking member 141 and the cover locking member 142 are provided with matching barb structures. For example, a handle hook portion 243 is provided at the end of the handle locking member 141, and a cover hook portion 244 is provided at the end of the cover locking member 142. The handle hook portion 243 and the cover hook portion 244 extend toward each other (see Figure 2A and Figure 2BWhen the cover 110 is in the closed position, the handle hook 243 of the handle locking member 141 and the cover hook 244 of the cover locking member 142 are connected together to keep the cover 110 in the closed position. When the operator pushes the slider 145 upward, the slider 145 pushes the handle locking member 141 to elastically deform, so that the handle hook 243 and the cover hook 244 are separated from each other, so that the cover 110 is no longer locked, and the operator can flip the cover 110 to move the cover 110 to the open position. The more specific structure of the locking device 140 will be described in detail later.

[0031] Thus, in the normal state of the vehicle, the operator's hand can operate the electronic unlocking mechanism through the operating cavity 158 to unlock the vehicle's door lock, thereby opening the vehicle door. In some special states of the vehicle, such as when the vehicle is powered off or the electronic unlocking mechanism fails, the operator can push the slider 145 through the operating cavity 158 to unlock the locking device 140, flip the cover plate 110 to its open position to expose the mechanical unlocking mechanism, and then unlock the door lock by operating the mechanical unlocking mechanism, thereby opening the vehicle door.

[0032] Figure 2A and Figure 2B The inner structure of the handle assembly 100 is shown in more detail. Figure 2A FIG. 1 shows an exploded perspective view of the handle assembly 100 when viewed from the outside to the inside. Figure 2B FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the handle assembly 100 when viewed from the inside out. Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, the housing 101 is roughly in the shape of a square box with an outer opening, and includes a partition plate 233, which divides the cavity in the housing 101 into an upper cavity 231 and a lower cavity 132. An opening 234 is provided on the partition plate 233, and the upper cavity 231 and the lower cavity 132 are connected through the opening 234. The handle body 102 is arranged in the upper cavity 231 of the housing 101. In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the handle body 102 protrude inward and are connected to the housing 101 through fasteners 206. The middle part of the handle body 102 is spaced apart from the housing 101 to define an inner cavity 138 between the housing 101 and the handle body 102. The electronic unlocking mechanism 263 is arranged in the middle part of the handle body 102, so that the operator can put his hand into the inner cavity 138 to operate the electronic unlocking mechanism 263. As some specific examples, the electronic unlocking mechanism 263 includes a sensor and a circuit board, and the sensor can be a sensor such as a capacitive sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. When the operator's hand presses or touches the sensor part, the circuit board can receive the sensing signal and send a signal to unlock the door lock to the vehicle's central control (not shown in the figure).

[0033] A plurality of mounting seats 219 are provided on the top of the handle body 102, and the mounting positions of the mounting seats 219 match the rotating shaft 118 on the cover plate 110, so that the rotating shaft 118 can be pivotally mounted on the mounting seats 219. Each connecting member 112 of the cover plate 110 is formed by bending inward and upward from the inner side of the cover plate 110, so that the rotating shaft 118 is approximately located directly above the cover plate 110. When the cover plate 110 is flipped open, the cover plate 110 rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft 118, so that the cover plate 110 is flipped upward and outward, so that the mechanical unlocking mechanism exposed by the cover plate 110 can have sufficient operating space.

[0034] In this embodiment, a group of handle locks 141 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the handle body 102, that is, the left and right sides of the electronic unlocking mechanism 263, and each group of handle locks 141 is two handle locks 141 arranged up and down. Correspondingly, two groups of cover locks 142 are also provided on the cover plate 110, and each group of cover locks 142 is two cover locks 142 arranged up and down. In this way, the connection structure between the cover plate 110 and the handle body 102 can be made more balanced and stable. Each handle lock 141 is roughly cantilevered to have a certain elasticity. The inner end of each handle lock 141 is connected to the handle body 102, and the handle hook 243 is arranged at the outer end of the handle lock 141, and each handle hook 243 extends downward from the end of the handle lock 141. Accordingly, the outer end of each cover plate locking member 142 is connected to the cover plate 110, and the cover plate hook 244 is arranged at the inner end of the cover plate locking member 142, and the end of each cover plate hook 244 is extended upward. Thus, when the cover plate 110 is in its closed position, the handle hook 243 and the cover plate hook 244 cooperate with each other to lock the cover plate 110 in place. The slider 145 is also correspondingly provided as two sliders 145, each slider 145 is cooperatively connected with a group of handle locking members 141. Each slider 145 is slidably connected to the outer side of the handle body 102, and can slide in the handle body 102 in the up-down direction to push the handle locking member 141 to elastically deform. When the handle locking member 141 is elastically deformed, the handle hook 243 and the cover plate hook 244 are separated from each other so that the cover plate 110 can leave its closed position.

[0035] The electronic unlocking mechanism 263 of the present application is connected to the vehicle door lock 250 in communication, for example, through the vehicle central control (not shown). When the operator unlocks the door lock 250 through the electronic unlocking mechanism 263, an unlocking signal is first sent to the vehicle central control, and then the vehicle central control controls the door lock 250 to unlock.

[0036] The mechanical lock 161 and the mechanical pull rope 162 in the mechanical unlocking mechanism of the present application are mechanically connected to the door lock 250 of the vehicle so that the operator can unlock the door lock 250 directly by inserting the key into the mechanical lock 161 or by pulling the mechanical pull rope 162 .

[0037] The operation of the electronic unlocking mechanism is more convenient, but it depends on the normal operation of the vehicle's central control system. Although the operation of the mechanical unlocking mechanism is not as convenient as the electronic unlocking mechanism, it does not need to rely on the vehicle's central control system. In some usage environments, especially when the vehicle is powered off or the electronic unlocking mechanism fails, it is more suitable.

[0038] Figure 3A and Figure 3B A diagram for explaining the matching structure of the locking device 140 of the handle assembly 100. Figure 3A A front view of the handle assembly 100 is shown. Figure 3B FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the handle assembly 100 along line AA. Figure 3A and Figure 3B As shown, the slider 145 is connected to the outer side of the handle body 102 approximately vertically, and the handle locking member 141 passes through the slider 145 in an approximately horizontal direction. Therefore, the slider 145 can directly push the outer side of the handle locking member 141 to elastically deform. As an example, a limit groove 352 is provided on the outer side of the handle body 102, and the limit groove 352 is used to limit the position of the slider 145 and only slide up and down. In this embodiment, the bottom of the slider 145 has a flange 349 extending outward laterally. The flange 349 is used to abut against the handle body 102 to limit the range of the slider 145 sliding upward. A limit block 367 is also connected to the handle body 102, and a limit hole 366 is provided on the slider 145, and the limit hole 366 is matched with the limit block 367 in shape to limit the range of the slider 145 sliding downward and prevent the slider 145 from falling off the handle body 102. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in some embodiments, the limiting hole 366 and the limiting block 367 can limit the range of the sliding block 145 to slide up and down.

[0039] Specifically, the slider 145 has a through hole 348 that passes through the slider 145 horizontally. The through holes 348 are arranged in four numbers corresponding to the handle lock 141 so that the corresponding handle lock 141 can pass through them. The handle lock 141 has a free end 347 and a connecting end 346. The connecting end 346 is connected to the handle body 102, and the handle hook 243 is arranged at the free end 347. The handle lock 141 passes through the through hole 348 of the slider 145 so that the free end 347 is located at the outside of the slider 145 and the connecting end 346 is located at the inside of the slider 145. When the slider 145 slides upward in the vertical direction, the hole wall of the through hole 348 is used to push the free end 347 of the handle lock 141 to elastically deform around the connecting end 346. When the slider 145 slides downward in the vertical direction, the hole wall of the through hole 348 leaves the handle lock 141 so that the handle lock 141 returns to a non-deformed state.

[0040] The handle hook 243 of each handle locking member 141 extends downward from the outer end of the handle locking member 141, and the cover hook 244 of each cover locking member 142 extends upward from the inner end of the cover locking member 142. When the cover 110 is in the closed position, the handle hook 243 of each handle locking member 141 is hooked above the outer side of the cover hook 244 of the corresponding cover locking member 142. Therefore, the handle hook 243 can hook the cover hook 244 to prevent the cover 110 from turning upward and outward. In this embodiment, complementary inclined surfaces 351 are further provided on the opposite end surfaces of the handle hook 243 and the cover hook 244. After the handle locking member 141 is restored to the undeformed state, if the cover 110 has not yet reached its closed position, the complementary inclined surfaces 351 can contact each other. If the operator continues to close the cover 110 , a driving force that drives the handle locking member 141 to deform can be generated on the inclined surface 351 , so that the handle locking member 141 is elastically deformed, allowing the cover 110 to move to its closed position.

[0041] Thus, the handle lock 141 and the cover lock 142 of the locking device 140 can cooperate with each other to keep the cover 110 in its closed position. And after the operator pushes the slider 145 upward, the locking device 140 can be unlocked so that the cover 110 can move to its open position.

[0042] Figure 4A and Figure 4B The matching structure of the slider 145 and the handle locking member 141 is shown. Figure 4A FIG. 1 shows a front view of the handle body 102 when the handle locking member 141 is not deformed. Figure 4B The front view of the handle body 102 is shown when the handle locking member 141 is deformed.

[0043] like Figure 4AAs shown, the slider 145 is at the bottom position, and the limit block 367 is located at the top of the limit hole 366, so that the slider 145 cannot slide downward relative to the handle body 102. At this time, the handle locking member 141 does not undergo elastic deformation, and the cover plate 110 can be in the closed position or the open position.

[0044] When the operator pushes the slider 145 upward, the slider 145 slides to the topmost position. Figure 4B As shown, the flange 349 abuts against the handle body 102, so that the slider 145 cannot slide upward relative to the handle body 102. The hole wall of the through hole 348 of the slider 145 abuts against the handle locking member 141 to drive the handle locking member 141 to elastically deform upward. At this time, the locking device 140 is unlocked.

[0045] In addition, by observing the position of the limiting block 367 in the limiting hole 366 , the operator can more intuitively see the position of the slider 145 relative to the handle body 102 .

[0046] The handle assembly of the present application includes an electronic unlocking mechanism and a mechanical unlocking mechanism that can independently unlock the vehicle door lock. The handle assembly also includes a cover plate that can move to expose or cover the mechanical unlocking mechanism. The electronic unlocking mechanism remains in communication with the outside of the handle assembly. Therefore, in a vehicle using the handle assembly of the present application, an operator can conveniently operate the electronic unlocking mechanism to unlock the door lock, or can first open the cover plate and then operate the mechanical unlocking mechanism to unlock the door lock, which is suitable for various operating conditions of the vehicle.

[0047] Furthermore, the handle assembly of the present application includes a locking device with a simple structure to keep the cover plate in a closed position, so that when the mechanical unlocking mechanism is not needed, the cover plate is used to cover the mechanical unlocking mechanism, thereby improving the aesthetics of the handle assembly.

Therefore, the examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure as stated above are intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Various changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure is intended to include all known or earlier developed alternatives, modifications, variations, improvements and / or substantially equivalent solutions. The technical effects and technical problems in this specification are exemplary rather than restrictive. It should be noted that the embodiments described in this specification may have other technical effects and may solve other technical problems.
