Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to a waterproof fingerprint recognition automobile door handle. Background Art
[0002] With the popularization of automobile intelligent technology, biometric technology has gradually become more common in the automobile field. Among them, the fingerprint recognition technology of the door handle is also one of the application directions of the cost door intelligentization. The utility model patent with the publication number CN209757051U discloses a waterproof and dustproof fingerprint type automobile door handle. When the user does not need to open the door, the waterproof protective cover can hide the fingerprint identifier inside the door handle. The waterproof protective cover is movable and adjusted to cover the top of the fingerprint identifier to form a protective effect, thereby effectively avoiding dust and rain from directly and long-term contact with the fingerprint identifier, and prolonging the working life of the fingerprint module. When it needs to be opened, the user places the finger on the surface of the fingerprint identifier, and then electrically connects to the fingerprint transmission module on the microprocessor, and then the fingerprint information is fed back to the microprocessor through the fingerprint sensor in the fingerprint transmission module. When the fingerprint information is correct, the door is opened, and the door handle is effectively opened by fingerprint, which improves the user's convenience. However, the above-mentioned existing car door handle adopts a cover-type solution for waterproofing. When using it, it is necessary to open the waterproof protective cover and then cover it back in place, which is not convenient to use; and because it is not equipped with a wake-up circuit, its fingerprint recognition module needs to be in a working state for a long time, resulting in high power consumption, and also causing the fingerprint recognition module to be easily damaged and fail due to the working intensity, thus reducing the service life. Based on the above, it is necessary to invent a waterproof fingerprint recognition car door handle. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a waterproof fingerprint recognition automobile door handle in view of the above problems, so as to solve the technical problems that the waterproof cover of the traditional waterproof fingerprint recognition automobile door handle is inconvenient to open and close and has high power consumption.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0005] A waterproof fingerprint recognition car door handle, comprising a handle shell, a touch wake-up module and a fingerprint recognition module. An installation cavity is arranged inside the handle shell; the touch wake-up module includes a wake-up sensor and a wake-up circuit, and the wake-up sensor is connected to the wake-up circuit; the fingerprint recognition module includes an ultrasonic sensor and a fingerprint recognition algorithm chip, and the ultrasonic sensor is connected to the fingerprint recognition algorithm chip; the wake-up circuit is connected to the fingerprint recognition algorithm chip; a recognition cover plate is arranged on one side of the installation cavity, and the touch wake-up module and the fingerprint recognition module are hermetically installed in the installation cavity by the recognition cover plate. An identification area is arranged on the recognition cover plate, and the wake-up sensor and the ultrasonic sensor face the identification area; the wake-up sensor can detect whether the identification area is covered by a finger, and the wake-up circuit triggers the fingerprint recognition module to recognize the fingerprint after receiving that the wake-up sensor is covered by a finger.
[0006] Furthermore, an annular sealing groove is arranged on the outer periphery of the opening of the installation cavity, a sealing ring is installed in the annular sealing groove, and the recognition cover plate is pressed on the sealing ring.
[0007] Furthermore, the wake-up sensor is a capacitance sensor.
[0008] Furthermore, the handle shell further includes a wiring hole, and the wiring hole communicates with the installation cavity.
[0009] Furthermore, the wake-up circuit uses an MCU microcontroller to construct a minimum system.
[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of clamping grooves are arranged on the handle shell, and a plurality of clamping buckles are arranged on the recognition cover plate. The clamping buckles can be inserted into the installation cavity and are clamped with the clamping grooves.
[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. When the present utility model is in use and the door handle is idle, in order to reduce the standby power consumption of the system, the fingerprint recognition module is in a power-off mode, while the touch wake-up module is in a sleep mode; when a fingerprint is placed on the recognition area, the wake-up sensor can detect whether the recognition area is covered by a finger. After the wake-up circuit receives that the wake-up sensor is covered by a finger, it triggers the fingerprint recognition module to recognize the fingerprint, enabling the ultrasonic sensor to obtain the fingerprint and compare it with the pre-set unlocking fingerprint in the fingerprint recognition algorithm chip. If the comparison is successful, a comparison success signal can be sent for the control of the vehicle computer, and then the system enters the sleep state, waiting for the next round of fingerprint comparison and recognition; if it fails, it closes and waits for the next round of fingerprint comparison and recognition. The ultrasonic sensor adopted by the present utility model can emit ultrasonic waves to the surface of the user's finger with an identification cover plate in between, and receive and analyze the echo signal. By utilizing the different densities between the skin on the fingerprint surface and the air, a 3D image is constructed to determine the characteristics of the fingerprint, enabling the touch wake-up module and the fingerprint recognition module to be hermetically installed in the handle housing, achieving the waterproof use of the touch wake-up module and the fingerprint recognition module. Based on the above, the present utility model solves the technical problems of the traditional waterproof fingerprint recognition automotive door handle, such as the inconvenient opening and closing of the waterproof cover and high power consumption.

By setting a buckle and slot structure, it is fixed by the pressing-down scheme, and at the same time, the identification cover plate can be pressed on the sealing ring, with simple and convenient operation. By setting a wiring hole, it is convenient for the wiring between the installation cavity and the vehicle computer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
