[0033] When the motor 2 rotates forward, it drives the nut 4 to translate in the direction of extending out of the door panel. The nut 4 moves to abut against the door handle 1 and pushes the door handle 1 to translate outward synchronously. When the motor 2 rotates reversely, it drives the nut 4 to translate in the direction of retracting into the door panel. When the nut 4 moves in the reverse direction, it separates from the door handle 1. A return spring 5 is further provided inside the door panel, and the return spring 5 is used to push the door handle 1 to translate in the direction of retracting into the door panel.

[0034] The driving device further includes a front plate 7 and a rear plate 6, and the front plate 7 and the rear plate 6 are arranged in parallel at intervals in sequence along the direction in which the door handle 1 retracts into the door panel. Both ends of the lead screw 3 are rotatably arranged on the front plate 7 and the rear plate 6 respectively, and the motor 2 is fixedly arranged on the front plate 7. A transmission component is provided between the motor 2 and the lead screw 3, and the motor 2 drives the lead screw 3 to rotate through the transmission component. The transmission component includes a first transmission gear 8 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 2 and a second transmission gear 9 fixedly connected to the lead screw 3, and the first transmission gear 8 and the second transmission gear 9 are meshed and transmitted with each other.

The box body 10 is fixedly embedded in the door panel, and the driving device and the door handle 1 are arranged on the box body 10. The front plate 7 is fixedly connected to the box body 10.

[0036] As Figures 5 to 7 shown, a guiding component is provided between the door handle 1 and the box body 10 for restricting the moving direction of the door handle 1. The guiding component altogether includes a guide rail 11 fixedly arranged on the door handle 1 and a slider 12 fixedly arranged on the box body 10, and the door handle 1 is slidably arranged on the slider 12 of the box body 10 through the guide rail 11. There are two groups of the guiding components, which are upper and lower.

[0037] As Figure 4 shown, a transmission plate 13 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the door handle 1, and the transmission plate 13 is located between the front plate 7 and the rear plate 6. A plurality of guide rods 14 are arranged between the front plate 7 and the rear plate 6, and a return spring 5 is sleeved on each guide rod 14. A plurality of guide holes corresponding to the positions of the respective guide rods 14 are formed on the transmission plate 13. One end of the return spring 5 abuts tightly against the front plate 7, and the other end abuts tightly against the transmission plate 13 for pushing the transmission plate 13 to translate in the direction close to the rear plate 6.
