[0029] in, Figure 2 The reference direction coordinate system of the embodiment of the present utility model is given below. Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the direction shown.

[0030] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle door handle structure, including a vehicle door handle 100 and a vehicle door outer panel 200. The vehicle door outer panel 200 is provided with a handle cavity 201. The handle cavity 201 adopts a contoured design. The handle cavity 201 corresponds to the shape of the vehicle door handle 100. The vehicle door handle 100 is arranged in the handle cavity 201. The vehicle door handle 100 is provided with a handle component 300 extending to the outside of the handle cavity 201. The handle component 300 is in an outwardly protruding ring shape or block shape, and a camera 301 is provided inside the handle component 300.

[0031] Combine Figure 1In the technical solution of the present invention, the vehicle door handle 100 is disposed in a handle cavity 201 of the vehicle door outer panel 200. The vehicle door handle 100 can be retracted within the handle cavity 201 of the vehicle door outer panel 200 or opened outward from the handle cavity 201, thereby forming a concealed vehicle door handle 100. Furthermore, a handle member 300 extending outward from the handle cavity 201 is provided on the vehicle door handle 100, thereby increasing the fulcrum for opening the concealed vehicle door handle 100. This handle member 300 allows for convenient opening of the concealed vehicle door handle 100. Furthermore, due to its small size, the handle member 300 does not detract from the wind resistance and aesthetics of the concealed vehicle door handle 100. Furthermore, a camera 301 is housed within the handle member 300. This camera 301 automatically widens the field of view within the vehicle during normal unlocking or steering, along with the angle of the door handle 100, thus providing a safe entry and exit assistance function.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The door handle 100 extends lengthwise from a first end to a second end. The first end of the door handle 100 is mounted in a handle cavity 201 via a rotating shaft 101. The second end of the door handle 100 can be swung out of or retracted from the handle cavity 201 about the rotating shaft 101. The handle member 300 is connected to the door handle 100 and positioned adjacent to the second end of the door handle 100. To open the door handle 100 from the outside, the handle member 300 can be pulled to swing the door handle 100 about the rotating shaft 101, thereby swinging the second end of the door handle 100 out of the handle cavity 201. The door can then be opened by directly pulling the door handle 100. This embodiment of the utility model solves the problem of concealed door handles 100 being prone to failure to pop out, preventing users from properly opening the door from outside the vehicle.

[0033] It is understandable that, in addition to the swing opening method, the door handle 100 can also be opened in a floating opening method by extending or retracting.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The door handle 100 has a top edge 102 extending in the longitudinal direction. A guide groove 103 extending in the longitudinal direction is provided on the top edge 102 or the back side of the door handle 100. The handle component 300 has a connecting seat 302. The connecting seat 302 is provided on the top edge 102 of the door handle 100 and assembled in the guide groove 103. The connecting seat 302 can move along the guide groove 103. The edge of the connecting seat 302 is provided with an ice-breaking blade 303 extending in the moving direction. For example, Figure 3 、 Figure 4In the embodiment shown, the connecting seat 302 is in the form of a sheet and extends into the gap between the top edge 102 of the door handle 100 and the handle cavity 201. The bottom of the connecting seat 302 is provided with a trapezoidal cross-section, and is inserted into the guide groove 103 from one end of the guide groove 103. Grease can be applied to the guide groove 103 to achieve free sliding. Therefore, when the door handle 100 is frozen, the handle component 300 can be held and slid back and forth, and the ice layer between the door handle 100 and the door can be broken with the help of the ice-breaking blade 303.

[0035] In some embodiments, see 2, Figure 4 The handle component 300 includes a sleeve 304, which extends along the front-to-rear direction of the door handle 100. The sleeve 304 is arranged horizontally and protrudes from the handle component 300. The sleeve 304 can be made of metal, composite materials, etc., and is used as a fulcrum for pulling the door handle 100 out of the handle cavity 201 when opening the door from the outside. A leather cover can be provided on the outside of the sleeve 304 to avoid frost and prevent scratches on people and vehicles.

[0036] The camera 301 is disposed in the sleeve 304. In this embodiment, the sleeve 304 is convenient for holding with fingers, has good aesthetics, and can also facilitate the assembly of the laser component of the camera 301 therein.

[0037] Further, see Figure 2 、 Figure 5 The camera 301 faces the rear of the door handle 100 and is arranged at the rear end of the sleeve 304. After the camera 301 is turned on, it can obtain the video behind the door handle 100. Among them, by adjusting the opening angle of the door handle 100, the angle of the camera 301 is increased, so that the surrounding situation can be observed in driving situations such as turning.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 、 Figure 5 A laser assembly 305 is disposed within sleeve 304, facing the front of door handle 100 and positioned at the front end of sleeve 304. In this embodiment, laser assembly 305 and camera 301 are positioned back-to-back within sleeve 304, further expanding the functionality of handle component 300 and enriching the use cases of door handle 100. For example, laser assembly 305 enables various driving assistance functions. When following a vehicle in a traffic jam, the red line illuminated by laser assembly 305 on the ground can be used to determine the distance to the vehicle ahead. When parking, the red line can be used to determine the distance between the vehicle and the curb or the edge of the garage.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 、 Figure 6The sleeve 304 has a circular inner hole, and the rear camera and laser assembly 305 both have circular outer circumferential surfaces. The outer wall of the camera 301 is provided with a first clamping block 306, and the inner wall of the sleeve 304 is provided with a first clamping groove that cooperates with the first clamping block 306. The first clamping groove includes a first axial groove 307 extending along the axial direction of the sleeve 304 and a first circumferential groove 308 extending along the circumference of the sleeve 304. The first axial groove 307 extends to the rear end of the sleeve 304. The first circumferential groove 308 is located inside the sleeve 304 and connected to the first axial groove 307. When installing the camera 301, the first clamping block 306 of the camera 301 is inserted into the first axial groove 307, inserted to the bottom, and twisted to one side to the bottom of the first circumferential groove 308. When disassembling, the camera 301 is twisted in the opposite direction to the bottom and then pulled out. The entire disassembly and assembly process is convenient and quick.

[0040] See also Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The outer wall of the laser assembly 305 is provided with a second clamping block 309, and the inner wall of the sleeve 304 is provided with a second clamping groove that cooperates with the second clamping block 309. The second clamping groove includes a second axial groove 310 extending along the axial direction of the sleeve 304 and a second circumferential groove 311 extending along the circumference of the sleeve 304. The second axial groove 310 extends to the front end of the sleeve 304, and the second circumferential groove 311 is located inside the sleeve 304 and connected to the second axial groove 310. When installing the laser assembly 305, the second clamping block 309 of the laser assembly 305 is inserted into the second axial groove 310, inserted to the bottom, and twisted to one side to the bottom of the second circumferential groove 311. When disassembling, the laser assembly 305 is twisted in the opposite direction to the bottom and then pulled out. The entire disassembly and assembly process is convenient and quick.

[0041] It is understandable that the laser assembly 305 and the camera 301 can also be installed in the sleeve 304 by means of threads, bonding, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The second end of the door handle 100 is provided with a warning light 102. This warning light 102 is integrated into the door handle 100 and can be used in the following scenarios. For example, when preparing to open the door from inside the vehicle, the door handle 100 is unlocked and opens out of the handle cavity 201, and the warning light 102 illuminates, alerting vehicles and pedestrians behind the vehicle to safety when the door is opened. Furthermore, the warning light 102 can also illuminate when the vehicle is turning, alerting vehicles and pedestrians behind the vehicle to safety.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The door handle 100 has a hollow wiring cavity inside, in which the lines of the camera 301, the laser component 305 and the warning light 102 are arranged.

[0044] An embodiment of the present utility model further provides a car, comprising the door handle structure in any one of the above embodiments.
