These are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0043] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a handle assembly, as Figures 1-4 shown. The handle assembly includes a base 1, a handle 2, and a control structure 3. The base 1 includes a first mounting plane 11 and a second mounting plane 12 arranged at an angle. The handle 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. When the handle 2 is in the closed position, the handle 2 covers the first mounting plane 11. The control structure 3 is arranged on the second mounting plane 12 and is used to be connected to a locking structure to control the locking structure to work.

[0045] As an example, the handle assembly includes a base 1, a handle 2, and a control structure 3. The base 1 is assembled on a first workpiece 4, such as a car door body equipped with a door lock body, and includes a first mounting plane 11 and a second mounting plane 12 arranged at a certain angle (such as a right angle). The handle 2 can be installed on the first mounting plane 11 of the base 1. One side of the handle 2 can be rotatably connected to the base 1 through a rotating shaft 8 and can be flipped between a closed position and a lifted position. When the handle 2 is flipped to the closed position, the handle 2 can cover the first mounting plane 11 of the base 1. When the handle 2 is flipped to the lifted position, the handle 2 is lifted from the first mounting plane 11, and the free end of the handle 2 moves towards an end away from the first mounting plane 11 and the second mounting plane 12, exposing the first mounting plane 11. The control structure 3 is arranged on the second mounting plane 12, and the handle 2 does not block the second mounting plane 12 and the control structure 3 on the second mounting plane 12 during the flipping process. The control structure 3 can be an electric control structure 3, which can be connected to a locking structure arranged between the first workpiece 4 (such as a car door body) and a second workpiece (such as a door frame of a vehicle body). The locking structure can include a door lock body arranged on the car door body and a lock tongue groove arranged on the door frame. The door lock body and the lock tongue groove cooperate to form a locking structure. The control structure 3 can send a locking signal to the locking structure to control the locking structure to work, locking the car door body and the door frame, and can also send an unlocking signal to the locking structure to control the locking structure to work, unlocking the car door body and the door frame.

[0046] In this example, by arranging the handle 2 and the control structure 3 on different mounting planes of the base 1, it is possible to prevent the handle 2 from blocking the control structure 3 during the flipping process, exposing the control structure 3 within the observable range, and preventing the problem that the control structure 3 is too concealed and not easily noticed by the user.

[0047] As another example, as Figure 1 shown, the base 1 can be assembled in a groove opened on the first workpiece 4, such as a car door body. The groove is opened along the vehicle body width direction. When the handle 2 is in the closed position and covers the first mounting plane 11, the outer surface of the handle 2 is flush with the outer surface of the first workpiece 4, forming a hidden handle, making the car door design more beautiful and practical. The angle between the second mounting plane 12 and the first mounting plane 11 of the base 1 can be 120°, enabling the user to more easily notice the control structure 3 on the second mounting plane 12.

[0048] In an embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the control structure 3 includes a key panel 31 and a micro switch 32; the key panel 31 is arranged on the second mounting plane 12, and the micro switch 32 is installed inside the base 1; the fixed end of the micro switch 32 is connected to the locking structure, and the actuating end of the micro switch 32 is connected to the key panel 31.

[0049] As an example, the control structure 3 may include a key panel 31 and a micro switch 32. The key panel 31 is arranged on the second installation plane 12. The key panel 31 is connected to the touch end of the micro switch 32. When the key panel 31 is touched, the touch end of the micro switch 32 contacts the fixed end of the micro switch 32, sending a corresponding locking signal or unlocking signal. The fixed end of the micro switch 32 is electrically connected to the locking structure, used to transmit the locking signal or unlocking signal to the locking structure to control the operation of the locking structure. The micro switch 32 can be fixedly installed in the base 1 by means of a buckle or a screw. The back wire outlet end of the micro switch 32 can be waterproof sealed by means of potting or the like.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the handle assembly further includes a buffer member 5; the buffer member 5 is arranged on the first installation plane 11; when the handle 2 is in the closed position, it abuts against the buffer member 5.

[0051] As an example, the handle assembly further includes a buffer member 5. The buffer member 5 is arranged on the first installation plane 11 and can be an elastic buffer block embedded in the first installation plane 11. The first end of the elastic buffer block protrudes from the first installation plane 11, so that when the handle 2 is in the closed position, the first end of the elastic buffer block abuts against one side surface of the handle 2, forming a buffer structure between the handle 2 and the first installation plane 11 to prevent the handle 2 and the base 1 from being worn.

[0052] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a first connecting member 6 is provided on the base 1, and a second connecting member 7 is provided on the handle 2; the handle assembly further includes a rotating shaft 8; the first connecting member 6 and the second connecting member 7 are inserted through the rotating shaft 8.

[0053] As an example, the first connecting member 6 is provided on the first installation plane 11 of the base 1. The first connecting member 6 can be two first connecting column bodies with central through holes. A second connecting member 7 is provided at one side of the handle 2. The second connecting member 7 can be two second connecting column bodies with central through holes. The handle assembly further includes a rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 is inserted through the central through holes of the first connecting column bodies and the second connecting column bodies, connecting the handle 2 and the base 1 in series on the same rotating shaft 8, enabling the handle 2 to complete a rotational movement relative to the base 1 around the rotating shaft 8. When the handle 2 and the base 1 are connected in series on the rotating shaft 8, both of the two second connecting column bodies in the second connecting member 7 are arranged between the two first connecting column bodies in the first connecting member 6, and one side surface of each first connecting column body abuts against one side surface of a second connecting column body, forming a limiting structure between the handle 2 and the base 1 to prevent the handle 2 from generating an offset in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 8.

[0054] In one embodiment, the handle assembly further includes a return spring 9; the first connecting member 6, the second connecting member 7 and the return spring 9 are connected in series through a rotating shaft 8; the rotating end of the return spring 9 is fixed to the handle 2, and the fixed end of the return spring 9 is fixed to the base 1.

[0055] As an example, the handle assembly further includes a return spring 9, which can be a torsion spring. The first connecting member 6, the second connecting member 7 and the return spring 9 are disposed on the same rotating shaft 8, so that the rotating end of the return spring 9 and the handle 2 can perform a rotational motion centered on the rotating shaft 8. The torsion spring includes two symmetrically arranged rotating ends and a fixed end disposed in the middle of the torsion spring. The two rotating ends of the torsion spring are fixed to the handle 2, and the fixed end of the torsion spring is fixed to the base 1. Usually, the torsion spring forces the handle 2 to be in the closed position by its own torsional force and covers the base 1 to prevent the handle 2 from being accidentally lifted due to inertia. When the handle 2 is flipped from the closed position to the lifted position under an external force, the torsion spring is twisted and deformed, and a torsional force that can return the handle 2 from the lifted position to the closed position is accumulated in the torsion spring. When no external force is applied to the handle 2, the torsional force accumulated in the torsion spring can reset the handle 2 from the lifted position to the closed position.

[0056] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the handle assembly further includes a mechanical lock core 10; the mechanical lock core 10 is assembled in the base 1 and is connected to the locking structure for controlling the operation of the locking structure; a keyhole 101 is provided on the first mounting plane 11 opposite to the mechanical lock core 10.

[0057] As an example, the handle assembly further includes a mechanical lock core 10. The mechanical lock core 10 includes a lock core body and a keyhole 101. The lock core body is assembled inside the base 1 and is connected to a locking structure provided between a first workpiece 4 (such as a car door) and a second workpiece (such as a door frame) for triggering the locking structure when the key operates to lock or unlock the car door and the door frame.

[0058] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the handle assembly further includes a link structure 13; the first end of the link structure 13 is connected to the handle 2, and the second end of the link structure 13 is connected to the locking structure for unlocking the locking structure when the handle 2 is in the lifted position.

[0059] As an example, the handle assembly further includes a link structure 13. The first end of the link structure 13 is connected to the handle 2, and the second end of the link structure 13 is connected to the locking structure. When the handle 2 is flipped from the closed position to the opened position, the first end of the link structure 13 is displaced under the traction of the handle 2, thereby pulling the locking structure and driving the door lock outside-opening link in the locking structure to unlock the locking structure.

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle door, including a door body and the handle assembly in the above embodiment; the base 1 of the handle assembly is assembled on the door body, and the control structure 3 of the handle assembly is connected to the locking structure provided between the door body and the vehicle body for controlling the locking structure to work.

[0061] As an example, the door structure includes a door body and the handle assembly in the above example. The first workpiece 4 in the handle assembly is the vehicle body itself, and the second workpiece is the vehicle body that matches the door body, specifically, it can be the door frame of the vehicle door. In the handle assembly, the base 1 determines its installation position on the door body through a plurality of positioning buckles and is fixedly installed on the door body through threaded fasteners; the control structure 3 can be electrically connected to the locking structure provided inside the door body and between the door body and the vehicle body to control the locking structure to work, so as to lock or unlock the door body and the vehicle body.

[0062] In this example, by disposing the handle 2 and the control structure 3 of the vehicle door on different mounting planes of the base 1, it is possible to prevent the handle 2 from blocking the control structure 3 during the flipping process, expose the control structure 3 within the observable range, and prevent the problem that the control structure 3 is too concealed and not easily discovered by the user.

[0063] In one embodiment, the door body includes an outer door panel; the base 1 is assembled on the outer door panel; when the handle 2 is in the closed position, the outer surface of the handle 2 is flush with the outer surface of the outer door panel.

[0064] As an example, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, an installation groove for assembling the base 1 can be formed in the outer panel of the vehicle door along the vehicle body width direction. A receiving space for accommodating the base 1 is formed in the installation groove, so that the base 1 is embedded in the receiving space. When the handle 2 covers the first installation plane 11, the outer surface of the handle 2 is flush with the outer surface of the first workpiece 4, forming a hidden door handle and reducing the vehicle wind resistance. Specifically, the edge of the first installation plane 11 of the base 1 can be connected to the edge of the installation groove, and the edge of the second installation plane 12 of the base 1 can be connected to the bottom surface of the installation groove, forming an assembly structure that partially occupies the receiving space in the installation groove, which is convenient for the handle 2 to be lifted and flipped. At the same time, since the installation groove is formed along the vehicle body width direction, it is not easy to accumulate water in the installation groove in rainy weather. The angle between the second installation plane 12 and the first installation plane 11 of the base 1 can be an obtuse angle, enabling the user to more easily notice the control structure 3 on the second installation plane 12, and the handle 2 on the first installation plane 11 can also have a certain shielding effect on the control structure 3 on the second installation plane 12 in the vehicle body height direction, which can prevent rain and snow from entering the control structure 3 and causing adverse effects.

[0065] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the door structure further includes a seal 14, and the seal 14 is disposed between the base 1 and the door body.

[0066] As an example, a seal 14 is provided between the base 1 and the door body to which it is installed. Specifically, an assembly hole for assembling the base 1 can be provided on the door body, and the base 1 is fixed at the assembly hole by means of a buckle and bolts, etc. The seal 14 can be a sealing gasket disposed around the outer periphery of the base 1, one side surface of the sealing gasket abuts against the base 1, and the other side surface of the sealing gasket abuts against the door body, playing a role of waterproof sealing.

[0067] An embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle, including the door in the above embodiment.

[0068] As an example, the vehicle includes the door structure in the above example. In this example, by disposing the handle 2 and the control structure 3 of the door on different installation planes of the base 1, it is possible to prevent the handle 2 from shielding the control structure 3 during the flipping process, so that the control structure 3 is exposed within the observable range, preventing the problem that the control structure 3 is too concealed and not easily discovered by the user.

[0069] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
