DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1-5 :
[0034] Example 1:
[0035] This embodiment provides a foot-activated door handle, comprising:
[0036] The fixing assembly 1 includes a fixing base 10 provided on the door panel, a magnetic block 11 provided on the fixing base 10, and a mounting base 12 provided on the fixing base 10 and located below the magnetic block 11;
[0037] The control assembly 2 includes a foot plate 20 rotatably connected to the mounting seat 12 , a first control member 21 and a second control member 22 provided on the foot plate 20 , and a release member 23 provided on the foot plate 20 and used in conjunction with the magnetic block 11 .
[0038] Fixing assembly 1 securely fastens the handle to the door panel, preventing it from loosening or falling off during use. It maintains its proper working position and stability for reliable door opening. It is located on fixing base 10 and above mounting base 12. This positioning positions fixing assembly 1 at a relatively stable base within the overall structure, providing a solid support and anchoring foundation for other components above it.
[0039] The fixing base 10 is mainly used to fix the entire foot-operated door handle to the door panel, providing a mounting base for other components. The fixing base 10 is usually a block or plate-shaped structure and can be installed on the door panel by screws, rivets, etc. It is the basic supporting part of the entire door handle device.
[0040] Mounting base 12 is used to mount and support foot plate 20 in control assembly 2, enabling it to be rotatably connected to fixing base 10, providing a fulcrum and space for the rotation of foot plate 20. Mounting base 12 is typically block-shaped or has a certain curvature to accommodate the rotation requirements and installation space of foot plate 20. It is fixed below magnetic block 11 by welding, screws, etc. This positioning arrangement allows the rotation of foot plate 20 on mounting base 12 to cooperate with the action of magnetic block 11 to achieve normal operation of the door handle.
[0041] The magnetic block 11 works in conjunction with the release member 23 on the foot plate 20 to attract and secure the foot plate 20. This helps maintain the foot plate 20 in its original position when the door handle is not in use. It also provides feedback during use, enhancing the user's feel and stability. The magnetic block 11 is typically a magnetic, block-shaped object that can be attached to the fixing base 10 using screws, rivets, or other means. It is located above the mounting base 12, facilitating interaction with the release member 23 on the foot plate 20.
[0042] The control assembly 2 is the core component for foot-activated door opening. By stepping on and manipulating the foot plate 20, the user transmits force from their foot to the door's opening mechanism, enabling door opening and closing control. It comprises multiple components that work together to achieve precise and reliable control. The control assembly 2 consists of a fixed base 10 mounted on the door panel, a mounting base 12 mounted on the fixed base 10, the foot plate 20, a first control member 21, a second control member 22, and a release member 23.
[0043] The foot plate 20 is the component to which the user directly applies foot movements, and it undertakes the key task of transmitting the force and movement of the foot to subsequent components to realize the opening or closing operation of the door. It serves as the action input end of the entire control component 2, receiving the user's stepping, pushing and other operations, and converting these actions into mechanical movements that can be processed by the release member 23 and other related components. The foot plate 20 is usually a plate-like structure, and the edges may be appropriately rounded to prevent accidental injuries such as scratches to the user during use. One end of the foot plate 20 can be mounted on the mounting base 12 through a rotating connection such as a hinge or a pin. The foot plate 20 is located on the door panel near the edge of the door, which is convenient for the user to reach and operate with his feet.
[0044] The first control member 21 and the second control member 22 are used to provide different foot control modes for the user, providing the user with diversified control modes to facilitate the habits and preferences of different users.
[0045] The release member 23 is used to unfold the folded foot plate 20, making the unfolding process of the foot plate 20 smoother and improving the user experience. The release member 23 is generally a block-shaped structure with a hook groove and can be fixedly installed under the foot plate 20 by bolts or welding.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] This embodiment provides a foot-operated door handle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0048] The first operating member 21 includes:
[0049] An anti-skid plate 210 is provided on the end of the foot plate 20 away from the door panel;
[0050] A plurality of trapezoidal teeth 211 are provided on the anti-slide plate 210 .
[0051] The first operating member 21 is an anti-slip plate 210. As a key operating component of the foot-operated door handle, the anti-slip plate 210 primarily provides a clear force application area, facilitating foot operation. This increases the contact area between the foot and the foot plate 20, allowing the user to apply force more stably, effectively controlling the movement of the foot plate 20 and opening and closing the door. The first operating member 21 can be mounted on the other end of the foot plate 20 by welding or by integrally forming the first operating member 21 with the foot plate 20.
[0052] The trapezoidal teeth primarily increase friction between the foot and the first control member 21, preventing the foot from slipping during operation. Furthermore, the trapezoidal teeth' shape helps direct the force of the foot, effectively transferring it to the foot plate 20 and improving operational accuracy and controllability. The trapezoidal teeth are positioned directly on the upper surface of the anti-slip plate 210, either integrally formed with the anti-slip plate 210 or secured to it via welding, adhesive bonding, or other methods.
[0053] Example 3:
[0054] This embodiment provides a foot-operated door handle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0055] The second operating member 22 includes:
[0056] The curved plate 220 is provided below the foot plate 20, and a receiving cavity for placing the toe of the shoe is formed between the curved plate 220 and the foot plate 20;
[0057] The baffles 221 are respectively disposed on both sides of the arc-shaped plate 220 .
[0058] The curved plate 220 primarily provides a comfortable placement and auxiliary support for the user's foot. Its ergonomic design better conforms to the curve of the toes, allowing the user to more comfortably and naturally manipulate the second control member 22 with their toes. Furthermore, the curved plate 220 also limits lateral movement of the foot to a certain extent, improving operational stability and accuracy. The curved plate 220 can be fixedly mounted to the other end of the foot plate 20, located below the first control member 21, by welding or by integral molding with the foot plate 20.
[0059] Baffles 221 are positioned on either side of the curved plate 220, primarily to limit the position of the toe cap, preventing it from slipping out of the accommodating cavity on either side of the curved plate 220 during operation. This ensures accurate and stable foot manipulation and enhances operational safety. Baffles 221 are typically block- or plate-shaped structures that cover both sides of the curved plate 220. They can be secured to the curved plate 220 by welding, gluing, or integral molding, remaining tightly connected to the curved plate 220. This positional relationship completely seals both sides of the accommodating cavity, providing all-around positional protection for the toe cap.
[0060] Example 4:
[0061] This embodiment provides a foot-operated door handle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0062] The foot plate 20 is provided with an anti-slip component 3 .
[0063] The anti-slip component 3 increases the friction of the foot on the handle, preventing the user's foot from slipping when operating the door handle with their foot. This improves the safety and stability of the operation, ensuring that the user can accurately and effectively control the door handle through foot movements. Located above the foot plate 20, it directly contacts the user's foot, forming an effective anti-slip interface between the foot and the foot plate 20, ensuring safe operation.
[0064] Example 5:
[0065] This embodiment provides a foot-operated door handle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0066] The anti-slip component 3 includes:
[0067] The anti-slip pad 30 is laid on the foot plate 20, and the anti-slip pad 30 is provided with a through hole matching the shape of the magnetic block 11;
[0068] A plurality of anti-slip bumps 31 are provided on the anti-slip pad 30 .
[0069] The anti-slip pad 30 is used to increase the friction between the foot and the foot plate 20, preventing the user's foot from slipping when stepping on the foot plate 20, and ensuring the safety and stability of the operation. It can provide users with a reliable anti-slip effect under various environmental conditions such as dry and humid, allowing users to accurately control the door handle with their feet to open the door. The anti-slip pad 30 is usually a sheet structure with a certain thickness, and its shape is generally adapted to the shape of the upper surface of the foot plate 20 to ensure that it can completely cover the effective stepping area of the foot plate 20. The anti-slip pad 30 can be fixed to the foot plate 20 by gluing or inlaying, and the through hole on the anti-slip pad 30 is used to make the magnetic block 11 conflict with the foot plate 20 to achieve a good magnetic effect, so as to avoid being blocked by the anti-slip pad 30 and weakening the suction force.
[0070] Anti-slip bumps are evenly distributed on the other side of the anti-slip mat 30, further enhancing the anti-slip effect. They increase the contact area and friction with the foot, ensuring good anti-slip performance even with a small amount of sweat or other liquids on the foot, improving operational safety. These bumps are typically small, hemispherical, cylindrical, or other shapes, and can be integrally molded with the anti-slip mat 30 or fabricated on the mat 30 through secondary processing such as injection molding.
[0071] Example 6:
[0072] This embodiment provides a foot-operated door handle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0073] The anti-slip pad 30 is made of natural rubber.
[0074] The natural rubber anti-slip mat 30 primarily functions to increase friction between the user's foot and the handle when operating the foot-operated door handle, preventing slippage and ensuring safe and stable operation. Natural rubber has excellent elasticity and flexibility, adapting to varying foot pressure and shape, providing a comfortable feel. It also possesses a certain degree of wear and corrosion resistance, ensuring it maintains good performance over long-term use.
[0075] Example 7:
[0076] This embodiment provides a foot-operated door handle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0077] A limiting assembly 4 is provided below the mounting seat 12 .
[0078] The stopper assembly 4 is used to limit the rotation angle of the foot plate 20, ensuring that the door does not open excessively or malfunction during opening. This prevents damage to the door or other components caused by excessive rotation of the foot plate 20, while also ensuring that the door's opening angle remains within a safe and appropriate range, thereby improving the door's safety and stability.
[0079] Example 8:
[0080] This embodiment provides a foot-operated door handle, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0081] The limiting component 4 includes:
[0082] The connecting member 40 is located below the foot plate 20 and is provided between the foot plate 20 and the fixing base 10;
[0083] One end of the stopper 41 is connected to the connector 40 , and the other end of the stopper 41 abuts against the foot plate 20 in the working state.
[0084] Connector 40 connects the mounting base 10 and the stopper 41, allowing the stopper 41 to be stably mounted below the mounting base 12. When the foot plate 20 rotates to a certain angle, it contacts the foot plate 20, limiting the rotation angle of the foot plate 20. This ensures that the stopper 41 is positioned correctly to effectively function. Connector 40 is typically an elongated strip, specifically an L-shaped plate. One end of the connector can be fixed to the mounting base 10 by bolts or welding, while the other end can be connected to the stopper 41 by welding or by integral molding with the stopper 41.
[0085] The limit stop 41 is designed to interfere with the foot panel 20 when it reaches a specific angle, preventing further rotation and thus limiting the rotation angle of the foot panel 20. This prevents the door from opening too wide, colliding with surrounding objects or posing other safety hazards, while also ensuring the door's normal operation and stability. The limit stop 41 is generally a block-shaped structure, shaped to fit under the foot panel 20 for better support.
[0086] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
