[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 This embodiment discloses a semi-concealed vehicle door handle, comprising a mounting bracket 1, which serves as the mounting and supporting component for the overall door handle structure and is embedded within the vehicle door sheet metal. A handle assembly 2, a switch assembly 3, and a blocking portion 5 are connected via mounting bracket 1. These three components, working together, enable unlocking of the vehicle door in both normal and emergency situations.
[0027] Mounting bracket 1 includes a mounting housing 11, which is fixed with multiple mounting arms 12 for mounting it on the vehicle door sheet metal. Preferably, mounting arms 12 are connected to tolerance adjusters 13, which secure mounting housing 11 to the vehicle door sheet metal to reduce tolerance deviations and ensure assembly stability and reliability. In this embodiment, mounting housing 11 is constructed in a concave shape and forms a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is divided into a first space and a second space, which are distributed vertically. In some embodiments, they can also be distributed horizontally, depending on actual needs.
[0028] The handle assembly 2 is rotatably arranged in the first space of the accommodating cavity, and the user can operate the handle assembly 2 in another space. The handle assembly 2 has at least two position states, a hidden position and a pop-up position, and is configured to be able to switch between the two position states by rotation.
[0029] In the hidden position, handle assembly 2 is recessed within the housing and flush with the door sheet metal. This position allows the door to be unlocked under normal conditions. Specifically, handle assembly 2 is provided with a gripping space and a trigger portion 23 corresponding to the gripping space. Switch assembly 3 is connected to handle assembly 2 at a location corresponding to trigger portion 23. Switch assembly 3 is equipped with a tactile switch 32, which is connected to the door's electronic lock signal. Pressing trigger portion 23 in the gripping space triggers switch assembly 3 to activate the door's electronic lock.
[0030] When in the pop-up position, the handle assembly 2 is rotated so that one side thereof extends out of the accommodating cavity and forms an oblique angle with the door sheet metal, such as Figure 7 As shown, this position enables door unlocking in an emergency. In this embodiment, an emergency typically refers to a special situation such as a power outage or fault. Specifically, a blocking portion 5 is provided at the rotational connection between the handle assembly 2 and the mounting bracket 1 to provide a predetermined blocking force for the rotation of the handle assembly 2. The handle assembly 2 must overcome the blocking force of the blocking portion 5 to rotate. When the handle assembly 2 overcomes the blocking force and rotates, the emergency unlocking mechanism, i.e., the mechanical unlocking mechanism of the door, is triggered, thereby enabling door unlocking in an emergency.
[0031] In one embodiment, the outer edge of the opening of the mounting housing 11 is connected to a protective portion 14, such as Figure 1 As shown, the protective portion 14 is constructed as an annular structure that matches the opening shape of the mounting shell 11. The ring is arranged at the outer edge of the opening of the mounting shell 11. Connection methods such as bonding and crimping can be used to ensure the sealing and aesthetics of the connection. For example, the protective portion 14 can be made of materials with good sealing properties such as rubber pads and liners.
[0032] Combine Figure 5In one embodiment, the handle assembly 2 includes a handle body 21. In this embodiment, the handle body 21 has sufficient thickness to enable a gripping space for the user's hand to be inserted. Specifically, the gripping space is provided at the bottom of the handle body 21 and is constructed as a cavity provided at the bottom of the handle body 21, which is convenient for manual operation by the user.
[0033] The handle body 21 is provided with a mounting groove 22 for mounting the switch assembly 3. The mounting groove 22 corresponds to the position of the grip space and is arranged at the front end of the grip space, that is, the side facing the user. The switch assembly 3 includes a cover plate 31 whose shape matches the mounting groove 22 and a touch switch 32 connected to the rear end surface of the cover plate 31. A movable trigger portion 23 is provided between the mounting groove 22 and the grip space. The trigger portion 23 includes an arc-shaped plate 231 and a top block 232 fixed on the arc-shaped plate 231. The top block 232 corresponds to the position of the touch switch 32. The movable state of the arc-shaped plate 231 can be achieved by setting its structure or material. For example, one end of the arc-shaped plate 231 is connected to the handle body 21 by spaced connecting ribs, so that it is in a press-movable state, or the arc-shaped plate 231 can also be made of an elastic material. When the user presses the arc-shaped plate 231 in the grip space, the top block 232 can touch the touch switch 32 of the cover plate 31, thereby triggering the electronic lock of the vehicle door, thereby unlocking the vehicle door under normal conditions.
[0034] Combine Figure 4 、 Figure 5 In one embodiment, at least two through holes 111 are provided at the top of the mounting shell 11, and the mounting bracket 1 also includes a first connecting arm 15 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting shell 11, the number of the first connecting arms 15 corresponds to the number of the through holes 111, and the first connecting arm 15 is arranged on the side of the through hole 111.
[0035] Correspondingly, the handle assembly 2 further includes a second connecting arm 24 fixedly connected to the top of the handle body 21. The number and position of the second connecting arm 24 correspond to the through hole 111 of the mounting shell 11. The second connecting arm 24 passes through the through hole 111 and is connected to the first connecting arm 15.
[0036] The top ends of the first connecting arm 15 and the second connecting arm 24 are respectively provided with mounting holes, and the mounting bracket 1 also includes a rotating shaft 16 connected to the mounting holes. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the vehicle door sheet metal, and the second connecting arm 24 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 16. When driven by external force, it can rotate relative to the first connecting arm 15.
[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the first connecting arm 15 and the second connecting arm 24 fit together and are staggered near the bottom to form an overlapping area and a non-overlapping area 4. The blocking portion 5 is connected to the non-overlapping area 4 of the first connecting arm 15 or the second connecting arm 24 and faces the other connecting arm. The setting of the blocking portion 5 makes the local fit between the first connecting arm 15 and the second connecting arm 24 an interference fit. The force applied to the handle body 21 must reach a certain threshold before the handle body 21 can overcome the resistance applied by the blocking portion 5 and complete the emergency opening of the semi-hidden handle. For example, refer to Figure 4 The blocking portion 5 is constructed as a protrusion fixed to the first connecting arm 15. The protrusion is located on the side of the first connecting arm 15 facing the second connecting arm 24. In the unrotated state, the second connecting arm 24 is in contact with the side wall of the first connecting arm 15. When the handle body 21 is subjected to sufficient external force, the second connecting arm 24 can overcome the blocking force of the protrusion and rotate. Preferably, the protrusion is configured with an arc chamfer on the side facing the other connecting arm to ensure that it can be pushed by external force and prevent damage to the contact surface.
[0038] In this embodiment, the emergency unlocking structure is constructed as a counterweight pull rod 6 structure that is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting housing 11, such as Figure 2 As shown, the counterweight pull rod 6 is provided with an abutting end, which abuts against the second connecting arm 24. When the second connecting arm 24 rotates, it can push the abutting end to move, thereby driving the counterweight pull rod 6 to rotate.
[0039] It is understood that the semi-concealed door handle provided in this embodiment also includes an elastic member 7 capable of driving the second connecting arm 24 to return to its original position. One end of the elastic member 7 is connected to the mounting housing 11, and the other end abuts the second connecting arm 24. When an external force pushes the second connecting arm 24 to rotate, it can act on the elastic member 7. When the external force disappears, the elastic member 7 can drive the second connecting arm 24 to return to its original position. The elastic member 7 can be a spring, tension spring, torsion spring, or other elastic structure, and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0040] The semi-hidden door handle provided in this embodiment can realize door unlocking in normal and emergency conditions. In the normal condition, the handle body 21 is flush with the outer sheet metal of the door. The user puts his hand into the grip space and gently presses the trigger part 23 to trigger the switch assembly 3 to start the door electronic lock; in an emergency, the user puts his hand into the grip space and pulls the handle body 21 hard to overcome the resistance of the blocking part 5 and rotate, which can drive the counterweight pull rod 6 to rotate and pull the vehicle pull wire to unlock the door.
[0041] This embodiment provides a new type of semi-hidden door handle solution, which realizes normal opening and closing of the door and opening in an emergency state. The structure and coordination relationship of this embodiment are simple. The door can be unlocked in a normal state and an emergency state only through the coordination of the three main structures of the handle assembly 2, the switch assembly 3, and the blocking portion 5. The structure of the switch assembly 3 and the blocking portion 5 is simple, and the established space of the mounting bracket 1 and the handle assembly 2 can be fully utilized for installation. The switch assembly 3 is embedded in the handle assembly 2, and the blocking portion 5 is fixed in the connection structure between the mounting bracket 1 and the handle assembly 2. It can not only reasonably utilize the space, but also reduce the failure rate and reduce maintenance costs.
