Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a door handle fixing structure and a door lock handle. Background Technology

[0002] Door handles are typically secured to the door panel via fixing parts located at both ends. These fixing parts usually have fixed locking positions; in other words, the relative positions of the mounting holes on the door must be almost identical to the locking positions of the door handle for proper installation. However, in practice, the mounting holes on the door and the fixing posts on the door handle do not always match precisely. For example, if the distance between the upper and lower mounting holes is too large or too small (e.g., exceeding the allowable installation margin), the door handle cannot be installed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable door handle fixing structure, which uses an adjustable structure so that the position of its fixing post can be adjusted to match the actual mounting hole position on the door panel.

[0004] An adjustable door handle fixing structure according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a handle fixing part, a fixing plate, and a movable fixing post. The handle fixing part has a plurality of ribs. The fixing plate has a guide groove. The fixing plate is fixed to the handle fixing part opposite to the plurality of ribs, and the plurality of ribs extend parallel to the guide groove. The movable fixing post includes a movable plate and a column fixed to the movable plate, the column having a connecting structure. The movable plate is movably disposed between the plurality of ribs and the fixing plate along the extension path of the guide groove, the column passing through the guide groove, and the guide groove restricting the movement of the column along the extension path of the guide groove. Therefore, the position of the movable fixing post relative to the handle fixing part can be adjusted to accommodate the actual mounting hole positions on the door panel. Thus, the adjustable door handle fixing structure according to the present invention increases the installation margin of the door handle and facilitates installation.

[0005] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a door lock handle that includes the aforementioned adjustable door handle fixing structure, so that the position of the movable fixing post can be adjusted to adapt to the actual mounting hole position on the door panel.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a door lock handle includes a gripping portion, a first fixing portion, and a second fixing portion. The first fixing portion is fixedly connected to a first end of the gripping portion. The first fixing portion has a door lock actuator, which is exposed. The second fixing portion is fixedly connected to a second end of the gripping portion. The second fixing portion includes an adjustable door handle fixing structure as described above, wherein the handle fixing portion is fixedly connected to the second end. Similarly, the relative position of the movable fixing post of the adjustable door handle fixing structure and the handle fixing portion can be adjusted to adapt to the actual mounting hole positions on the door panel. Therefore, the door lock handle according to the present invention can increase the installation margin through the adjustable door handle fixing structure, facilitating installation.

[0042] Please see Figure 1According to one embodiment, a door lock handle 1 includes a grip portion 12, a first fixing portion 14, and a second fixing portion 16. The first fixing portion 14 is fixedly connected to a first end 12a of the grip portion 12, and the second fixing portion 16 is fixedly connected to a second end 12b of the grip portion 12. The door lock handle 1 is fixed to a door panel (not shown in the figures) via the first fixing portion 14 and the second fixing portion 16, allowing a user to grip the grip portion 12 to move the door panel. The first fixing portion 14 is fixed to the door panel via two fixing posts 142 (e.g., screwed into the fixing posts 142 on the other side of the door panel). The first fixing portion 14 also includes a latch drive assembly 144 for connecting to a latch assembly disposed on the door panel. The latch drive assembly 144 includes a door lock actuator 1442 exposed in the first fixing portion 14. The user can operate the door lock actuator 1442 (e.g., press) to actuate the latch of the latch assembly via the latch drive assembly 144. The second fixing part 16 includes an adjustable door handle fixing structure 162, and is fixed to the door panel via the adjustable door handle fixing structure 162.

[0043] Please also refer to Figures 2 to 4The adjustable door handle fixing structure 162 includes a handle fixing part 1622, a fixing plate 1624, and a movable fixing post 1626. The handle fixing part 1622 is fixedly connected to the second end 12b of the grip part 12. The handle fixing part 1622 includes a bottom wall 1622a, a surrounding wall 1622b, and a plurality of ribs 1622c (in this embodiment, the number is 2, but it is not limited to this in practice). The surrounding wall 1622b surrounds the bottom wall 1622a and is connected to the periphery of the bottom wall 1622a, such that the bottom wall 1622a and the surrounding wall 1622b together form an accommodating space 1622d. The ribs 1622c are disposed within the accommodating space 1622d, protruding from the bottom wall 1622a, and both ends of the ribs 1622c are connected to the surrounding wall 1622b. The fixing plate 1624 includes a groove plate portion 1624a, two side wall portions 1624b extending from opposite sides of the groove plate portion 1624a (or the side wall portions 1624b extending perpendicularly to the groove plate portion 1624a), and two fixing portions 1624c extending from the two side wall portions 1624b (or the fixing portions 1624c extending perpendicularly to the side wall portions 1624b; in this embodiment, the fixing portions 1624c are parallel to the groove plate portion 1624a). A guide groove 1624d is formed in the groove plate portion 1624a. Rib plates 1622c extend parallel to the guide groove 1624d in a first direction D1 (indicated by a double-headed arrow in the figure). The fixing plate 1624 is fixed to the handle fixing part 1622 via the two fixing parts 1624c, such that the groove plate part 1624a faces the plurality of ribs 1622c, and the plurality of ribs 1622c are located between the two side wall parts 1624b in a second direction D2 (indicated by a double arrow in the figure); wherein, the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2. The two side wall parts 1624b also extend parallel to the guide groove 1624d.

[0044] The movable fixed column 1626 includes a movable plate 1626a and a column 1626b fixed to the movable plate 1626a. The movable plate 1626a is movably disposed between the plurality of ribs 1622c and the groove portion 1624a of the fixed plate 1624 along the extension path of the guide groove 1624d (in this embodiment, the guide groove 1624d extends in a straight line, and the extension path is a line). In other words, structurally, the edges of the plurality of ribs 1622c and the groove portion 1624a form a sliding groove, in which the movable plate 1626a can be slidably disposed. The column 1626b extends from the movable plate 1626a parallel to a third direction D3 (indicated by a double-headed arrow in the figure; it is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2) and passes through the guide groove 1624d. The guide groove 1624d restricts the movement of the column 1626b (together with the movable plate 1626a) along the extension path of the guide groove 1624d (i.e., parallel to the first direction D1). The handle fixing part 1622 (or the second fixing part 16) is fixed to the door panel via the movable fixing post 1626; wherein, the column 1626b has a connecting structure 1626c at its free end (e.g., but not limited to a screw hole, so in practice, the connecting structure 1626c can be screwed into the other side of the door panel to fix the second fixing part 16 to the door panel).

[0045] Therefore, in practice, after the first fixing part 14 is initially fixed to the door panel, the user can adjust the relative position of the movable fixing post 1626 in the second fixing part 16 according to the mounting holes on the actual door panel (e.g., Figure 5 As shown; where the hidden outline of the rib plate 1622c and the hidden outline of the movable fixing post 1626 before adjustment are both drawn with dashed lines, and the movable fixing post 1626 after adjustment is drawn with chain lines, so that the post 1626b can be smoothly inserted into the corresponding mounting hole, thereby completing the fixing of the second fixing part 16 on the door panel.

[0046] Additionally, please see Figures 2 to 4In this embodiment, the surface of the movable plate 1626a away from the column 1626b (i.e., the surface facing the plurality of ribs 1622c) can only contact the edges of the plurality of ribs 1622c (on the third direction D3). This structural feature helps to reduce friction between the movable plate 1626a and the handle fixing part 1622 when sliding, which is conducive to smooth sliding. Moreover, the plurality of ribs 1622c are formed directly on the bottom wall 1622a, which can reduce the number of parts. In addition, the movable plate 1626a, the plurality of ribs 1622c and the groove plate part 1624a adopt a clearance fit, which helps to move the movable plate 1626a (for example, reducing or avoiding the situation where the movable plate 1626a gets stuck when moving). Furthermore, in this embodiment, after the handle fixing part 1622 is fixed to the door panel via the movable fixing post 1626, the surface of the movable plate 1626a facing the groove plate part 1624a will, in principle, abut against the groove plate part 1624a. Additionally, the bending and extending structural feature in the aforementioned fixing plate 1624 helps to improve the structural strength of the fixing plate 1624, thereby helping to stably fix the handle fixing part 1622 to the door panel via the movable fixing post 1626. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing plate 1624 is a single plate (e.g., implemented as a metal sheet stamping part); however, it is not limited to this in practice, for example, the fixing plate 1624 can be implemented as an assembly.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the column 1626b and the plurality of ribs 1622c do not overlap in the third direction D3 (see also...). Figure 5 Generally, the structural rigidity of the movable fixing post 1626 mainly occurs at the post body 1626b. Therefore, the aforementioned structural configuration can prevent the movable plate 1626a of the movable fixing post 1626 from becoming completely stuck during sliding if it excessively rubs against the plurality of ribs 1622c or the groove plate portion 1624a. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plurality of ribs 1622c are located on opposite sides of the guide groove 1624d (or its extension path) and are structurally symmetrical. This structural configuration helps to subject the movable fixing post 1626 to symmetrical (and identical) structural constraints, and also helps the movable plate 1626a to slide smoothly; however, this is not a limitation in practice. Additionally, in this embodiment, the handle fixing portion 1622 includes two positioning posts 1622e for each fixing portion 1624c. The two positioning posts 1622e are located on opposite sides of the corresponding fixing portion 1624c in the first direction D1 (see also...). Figure 5 This structural configuration facilitates the installation of the mounting plate 1624 onto the handlebar mounting portion 1622, and also helps to stably fix the mounting plate 1624 onto the handlebar mounting portion 1622.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the first fixing part 14 and the second fixing part 16 are arranged parallel to the first direction D1 (i.e., the extension direction of the guide groove 1624d). This structural configuration allows the adjustable door handle fixing structure 162 to be suitable for common mounting hole position errors (i.e., the spacing between the mounting holes corresponding to the first fixing part 14 and the second fixing part 16 on the door panel in their arrangement direction has a large error). Furthermore, as... Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide groove 1624d extends in a straight line, but in practice it is not limited to this; for example, if the guide groove 1624d is extended in an arc, it also has the effect of being adjustable.

[0049] As previously explained, the adjustable door handle fixing structure 162 allows the door lock handle 1 to be adapted to a wider range of mounting hole positions. For example, even if the mounting holes on the door panel are not precisely formed (e.g., the hole spacing between the upper and lower mounting holes is too large or too small), the door lock handle 1 can still be reliably installed onto the door panel by adjusting the movable fixing post 1626. Furthermore, for different door panels with mounting hole spacing corresponding to different door lock handles, a typical door lock handle can only be installed onto the corresponding door panel. However, in this embodiment, the door lock handle 1 can still be adapted to different mounting hole spacings by adjusting the movable fixing post 1626, thus allowing it to be installed onto different door panels.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the adjustable door handle fixing structure 162 is used in the door lock handle 1, but in practice it is not limited to this. For example, the adjustable door handle fixing structure 162 can also be applied to a general door handle, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
