[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] This embodiment provides a vehicle handrail and a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a handrail with an integrated switch unit. This switch unit can be used to control the opening and closing of automatic doors, armrest boxes, and other switching components of the vehicle. For example, in MPV (multi-Purpose Vehicle) models, a switch unit for controlling the opening and closing of automatic doors can be integrated into the handrail located on the B-pillar. Since the handrail is close to the passengers, it is convenient for passengers to operate to achieve automatic opening and closing of the automatic doors. For ease of explanation, the following detailed description will focus on the example of a switch unit integrated into the handrail for controlling the opening and closing of automatic doors.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle handrail includes a column 1, an actuator 2, and a signal generator 4. The signal generator 4 has a triggered state and a non-triggered state. When the signal generator 4 is in the triggered state, it can send a switch signal to the automatic door to enable the automatic door to open and close. When the signal generator 4 is in the non-triggered state, it does not send a switch signal to the automatic door, and the automatic door will not open or close automatically. The actuator 2 is located on the column 1. One of the actuator 2 and the column 1 has a trigger, and the other has a signal generator. The actuator 2 can move relative to the column 1. During the movement of the actuator 2 relative to the column 1, the trigger 3 also moves relative to the signal generator 4, so that the signal generator 4 can be in the triggered state and the non-triggered state. That is to say, the state of the signal generator 4 can be changed by rotating the actuator 2 relative to the column 1. When passengers need to open or close the automatic door, they can simply move the actuator 2 located on the vehicle handrail, which is quite convenient.

[0034] The action piece 2 and the signal generator 4 constitute a switch part for switching the automatic door, the switch part is integrated in the vehicle handrail to facilitate the passenger operation, and the switch part realizes the switching operation by moving the action piece 2, compared with the scheme that the switching operation is realized by the button, the problem that the passenger mis-touches the switch during the process of getting on and off the vehicle can be avoided, and the safety is ensured.

[0035] Specifically, the action piece 2 can be provided with the signal generator 4, the column 1 can be provided with the trigger piece 3, when the action piece 2 moves relative to the column 1, the signal generator 4 can be driven to move relative to the trigger piece 3, when the trigger piece 3 triggers the signal generator 4, the signal generator 4 reaches the trigger state and can send the switching signal. Alternatively, the action piece 2 can be provided with the trigger piece 3, the column 1 can be provided with the signal generator 4, when the action piece 2 moves relative to the column 1, the trigger piece 3 can be driven to move relative to the signal generator 4, when the trigger piece 3 triggers the signal generator 4, the signal generator 4 reaches the trigger state and can send the switching signal.

[0036] Specifically, the trigger piece 3 and the signal generator 4 can be triggered by contact or the distance between them is less than the preset distance, which is not limited here. And when the trigger piece 3 triggers the signal generator 4, how the signal generator 4 sends the switching signal and how the automatic door realizes automatic opening and closing according to the switching signal are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described here to save space.

[0037] And the specific structure of the trigger piece 3 is not limited in the embodiment, for example, it can be a protrusion which can be integrally formed with the column 1 or the action piece 2, or it can be a separate structure which can be fixed to the column 1 or the action piece 2 by fasteners, clamps, threaded connections, etc.

[0038] The action piece 2 can move relative to the column 1, specifically, the action piece 2 can change its position relative to the column 1, for example, the action piece 2 can move along the axial direction of the column 1, or the action piece 2 can rotate relative to the column 1, the relative movement between the trigger piece 3 and the signal generator 4 is consistent with the relative movement between the action piece 2 and the column 1. In the embodiment, the action piece 2 is preferably arranged to rotate relative to the column 1, and the trigger piece 3 rotates relative to the signal generator 4 to the trigger state of the signal generator 4, which is more conducive to avoiding the situation that the signal generator 4 is triggered due to the passenger mis-touching the action piece 2, and the safety is better.

[0039] For example, Figures 1-3As shown, the action member 2 comprises a barrel 21 sleeved outside the column 1 and rotatable relative to the column 1, one of the barrel 21 and the column 1 is provided with the trigger 3, and the other is provided with the signal generator 4, and rotation of the barrel 21 relative to the column 1 can trigger the signal generator 4 through the trigger 3.

[0040] Of course, the action member 2 can also be arranged as a sliding member capable of sliding along a certain angular range of the column 1 outside the column 1, and the arrangement of the barrel 21 sleeved outside the column 1 can ensure the stability of the rotation of the action member 2 relative to the column 1, and the passenger can conveniently hold and rotate the barrel 21 when opening and closing the door, and the operation is more convenient.

[0041] As shown, Figure 2 The outer wall of the column 1 is also provided with a mounting groove 11 along the circumference, and the action member 2 is at least partially located in the mounting groove 11 and can slide along the mounting groove 11, and the mounting groove 11 can provide a guiding effect for the rotation of the action member 2, and the stability is good.

[0042] Preferably, at least part of the barrel 21 is located in the mounting groove 11, or the action member 2 can also comprise a sliding block fixed with the barrel 21, which slides along the mounting groove 11, and the barrel 21 is located outside the mounting groove 11, which can also realize the guiding effect for the rotation of the barrel 21, and directly arranging at least part of the barrel 21 in the mounting groove 11 can further simplify the overall structure of the action member 2.

[0043] Further, the action member 2 is located in the mounting groove 11, and the outer wall surface of the action member 2 (i.e. the outer wall surface of the barrel 21) is arranged in alignment with the outer wall surface of the column 1, that is, the wall thickness of the barrel 21 is the same as the depth of the mounting groove 11, or the action member 2 can also be partially located in the mounting groove 11 and partially located outside the mounting groove 11, and when the action member 2 is arranged in the mounting groove 11 and the outer wall surface of the action member 2 is arranged in alignment with the outer wall surface of the column 1, the outer wall surface of the barrel 21 does not protrude from the outer wall surface of the column 1, which ensures the overall regularity of the outer wall surface of the vehicle handrail, that is, while integrating the automatic door switch and the vehicle handrail, the space occupied by the switch part is not increased, the part requires a small space, the cost is low, and the interior sensory quality can be improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0044] Specifically, the shape structure of the outer surface of the barrel 21 is the same as that of the outer surface of the column 1, that is, the cross-sectional shape of the barrel 21 is the same as that of the column 1, and different colors can also be arranged to facilitate passengers to identify the switch part. Of course, the shape structure of the outer surface of the barrel 21 and the shape structure of the outer surface of the column 1 can also be different, such as the outer surface of the barrel 21 can also be provided with a friction protrusion, so that the passenger can hold and rotate the barrel 21 for operation, which can be arranged according to the actual situation.

[0045] In addition, in the embodiment, the installation of the barrel 21 is not limited, and the column 1 can be provided as a two-section structure including a first section and a second section. The first section and the second section can be fixed by thread cooperation or clamping cooperation and enclose the installation slot 11 therebetween. During installation, the barrel 21 is sleeved on the first section, and then the first section and the second section are fixed.

[0046] As shown in Figure 4 , the barrel 21 is further provided with an arc-shaped slide 5, the arc-shaped slide 5 is coaxial with the column 1, the signal generator 4 is fixed in the arc-shaped slide 5, and the trigger 3 is arranged on the column 1 and can slide along the arc-shaped slide 5 to trigger the signal generator 4. Alternatively, the column 1 can be provided with the arc-shaped slide 5, the arc-shaped slide 5 is coaxial with the column 1, the signal generator 4 is fixed in the arc-shaped slide 5, and the trigger 3 is arranged on the barrel 21 and can slide along the arc-shaped slide 5 to trigger the signal generator 4. The specific arrangement can be made according to the actual situation.

[0047] During the rotation of the barrel 21 relative to the column 1, the trigger 3 can slide along the arc-shaped slide 5, the arc-shaped slide 5 can guide the rotation of the trigger 3, and the trigger 3 can stably slide to the signal generator 4, thereby triggering.

[0048] When the barrel 21 is provided with the arc-shaped slide 5, as shown in Figure 4 , the arc-shaped slide 5 is arranged on the end face of the barrel 21, and the trigger 3 is arranged on the slot side wall of the installation slot 11 (as shown in Figure 2 ). Similarly, when the column 1 is provided with the arc-shaped slide 5, the arc-shaped slide 5 is arranged on the slot side wall of the installation slot 11, and the trigger 3 is arranged on the end of the barrel 21. Of course, the arc-shaped slide 5 can also be arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the barrel 21 or the outer peripheral wall of the column 1 (specifically on the slot bottom wall of the installation slot 11). When the arc-shaped slide 5 is arranged on the end face of the barrel 21 or the slot side wall of the installation slot 11, the molding process can be simplified, the machining difficulty can be reduced, and the machining cost can be reduced.

[0049] As shown in Figure 4 , the two ends of the arc-shaped slide 5 are respectively fixed with the signal generators 4, and the trigger 3 can relatively slide along the arc-shaped slide 5 between the two signal generators 4 in a bidirectional manner. For convenience of description, the two signal generators 4 are respectively a first signal generator and a second signal generator. When the trigger 3 relatively slides to trigger the first signal generator, the first signal generator sends an opening signal, and the automatic door is automatically opened according to the opening signal. When the trigger 3 relatively slides to trigger the second signal generator, the second signal generator sends a closing signal, and the automatic door is automatically closed according to the closing signal.

[0050] For example, the switch on the left-side armrest of the vehicle can be turned counterclockwise to close the left-side automatic door and clockwise to open it. Similarly, the switch on the right-side armrest can be turned clockwise to close the right-side automatic door and counterclockwise to open it. This design prevents hands from being pinched while closing the automatic doors, conforms to ergonomic principles, and effectively improves user comfort and convenience, thus enhancing the driving experience for rear passengers.

[0051] Of course, only one signal generator 4 can be set up. When the automatic door is open, if the trigger 3 slides relative to the trigger and triggers the signal generator 4, the signal generator 4 will send a closing signal and the automatic door will close automatically according to the closing signal. When the automatic door is closed, if the trigger 3 slides relative to the trigger and triggers the signal generator 4, the signal generator 4 will send an opening signal and the automatic door will open automatically according to the opening signal.

[0052] The vehicle handrail also includes a reset component, which is used to drive the actuator 2 to move away from the signal generator 4 relative to the column 1, so that the signal generator 4 reaches a non-triggered state.

[0053] In other words, when a passenger operates the actuator 2 to move it relative to the column 1, and the actuator 2 triggers the signal generator 4 to reach the triggered state, the automatic door can open and close automatically. When the passenger removes the external force on the actuator 2, the reset member can drive the actuator 2 to move in the opposite direction relative to the column 1 until the signal generator 4 reaches the non-triggered state. That is to say, the automatic door can only open and close when the passenger operates the actuator 2. When the passenger does not operate the actuator, the automatic door remains in its current state. Furthermore, during the movement of the actuator 2, the reset member can also provide resistance to it to further avoid the possibility of accidental activation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the reset member is not limited. When the actuator 2 can rotate relative to the column 1 to the trigger signal generator 4, the reset member can be a torsion spring or something else. Figure 4 As shown, the reset element is a reset spring 6, which is sandwiched between the ends of the trigger element 3 and the arc-shaped slide 5. The structure is relatively simple and the cost is low. When the trigger element 3 moves relative to the signal generator 4, it can compress the reset spring 6. After the external force is removed, the restoring force of the reset spring 6 in the compressed state can push the trigger element 3 and the signal generator 4, causing the actuator 2 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the column 1 and causing the trigger element 3 to slide along the arc-shaped slide 5 back to its original position.

[0055] like Figure 4As shown, the arc-shaped slide 5 is further provided with a protruding portion 7, and the arc-shaped slide 5 forms a reset area (i.e. the original position) on the side away from the signal generator 4. The trigger 3 can slide along the surface of the protruding portion 7, and the reset spring 6 can drive the trigger 3 to slide into the reset area. When the passenger operates the action 2 to rotate relative to the column 1, the trigger 3 needs to slide along the surface of the protruding portion 7 and then can trigger the signal generator 4. Therefore, the force acting on the action 2 needs to overcome the resistance of the trigger 3 to cross the protruding portion 7, and then the trigger 3 can slide along the arc-shaped slide 5 to the signal generator 4. In this way, the situation that the signal generator 4 is triggered due to the rotation of the action 2 caused by the external force mistakenly touching the action 2 and rubbing the action 2 can be further avoided, and the safety is better.

[0056] As shown in the Figure 4 When two signal generators 4 are arranged in the arc-shaped slide 5, two reset springs are arranged in the arc-shaped slide 5, and the two reset springs 6 are arranged on the two sides of the trigger 3. Compared with the scheme of arranging one reset spring 6, the size of the restoring force of the reset spring 6 can be ensured, and the two reset springs 6 are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the reset area. In the non-triggering state of the signal generator 4, the trigger 3 is located in the reset area, the stability is good, and the safety can be further improved.

[0057] In addition, the arc-shaped slide 5 is provided with two protruding portions 7, and the two protruding portions 7 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the arc-shaped slide 5 and are located at the middle position of the length direction of the arc-shaped slide 5. The reset area is formed between the two protruding portions 7.

[0058] In the embodiment, the column 1 is further provided with a cavity structure in the axial direction. The cavity structure can be used without limitation, so that the signal generator 4 can be connected with an external device through a connecting line, and power supply and signal transmission can be realized. Of course, the signal generator 4 can also be set to a charging mode and transmit signals through a wireless mode, such as WIFI, Bluetooth, infrared, etc. The specific limitation is not made here.

[0059] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms “length”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer”, “clockwise”, “counterclockwise”, “axial direction”, “circumferential direction” and the like is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0060] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only for the purpose of description, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or a specific number of the technical features indicated.
