Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the automotive field, and more particularly to the field of semi-concealed exterior door handles for emergency door opening, specifically referring to an emergency exterior door handle device for automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] In the market, semi-concealed door handles offer various emergency unlocking methods. Some use mechanical keys, which are inefficient and inconvenient. Others add a separate unlocking mechanism next to the lock cylinder, making them complex and difficult for users to operate. Some even lack an emergency unlocking method, posing significant security risks. This invention utilizes a rotary return mechanism directly connected to the unlocking cable. Its simple structure and convenient operation allow for quick user familiarization, solving the problem of rapid rescue of vehicle occupants after a collision.

[0003] Under normal circumstances, semi-recessed door handles are typically operated by a capacitive sensor or a push-button switch. In emergency situations, such as a collision, the vehicle loses power, rendering the capacitive sensor and switch ineffective. A mechanical mechanism is then needed to unlock the doors in the absence of power. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an emergency exterior door handle device for automobiles that is highly safe, easy to operate, and has a wide range of applications.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the automotive emergency exterior door handle device of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The main features of this automotive emergency exterior door handle device are that the device includes a handle body, a rotating shaft, a return spring, a door lock cable, and an emergency handle. The emergency handle is installed on the handle body, which is located below the door handle. One end of the emergency handle is equipped with a rotating shaft and a return spring, and the other end of the emergency handle is connected to one end of the door lock cable. The other end of the door lock cable is connected to the vehicle door lock, and the door lock cable drives the vehicle lock to unlock the door.

[0007] Preferably, the reset spring is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the spring's limiting is accomplished by the emergency handle and the handle body.

[0008] Preferably, the emergency handle is a cover plate.

[0009] Preferably, the emergency handle rotates around the rotation axis to reach the flip position, and the emergency handle drives the door lock cable to unlock the door; the emergency handle is reset to the initial position by the return spring and the door lock cable.

[0010] The emergency exterior door handle device for automobiles, as described in this utility model, improves vehicle safety after a collision. Furthermore, this utility model does not affect the overall appearance of the vehicle, is designed within the range of non-visibility, and conforms to aesthetic design principles. At the same time, it requires fewer parts to achieve the door opening action, making it simple to operate and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To more clearly describe the technical content of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] This utility model discloses an emergency exterior door handle device for automobiles, which includes a handle body, a rotating shaft, a return spring, a door lock cable, and an emergency handle. The emergency handle is installed on the handle body, which is located below the door handle. One end of the emergency handle is equipped with a rotating shaft and a return spring, and the other end of the emergency handle is connected to one end of the door lock cable. The other end of the door lock cable is connected to the door lock, and the door lock cable drives the door lock to unlock the door.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the reset spring is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the spring's limiting is accomplished by the emergency handle and the handle body.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the emergency handle is a cover plate.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the emergency handle rotates around the rotation axis to reach the flip position, and the emergency handle drives the door lock cable to unlock the car door; the emergency handle is reset to the initial position by the return spring and the door lock cable.

[0029] This invention provides a robust and convenient solution for emergency door opening with a semi-concealed door handle. This technology is applied to emergency door opening of semi-concealed exterior door handles in automobiles, a common practice in the automotive industry. This invention pertains to door opening devices for emergency situations. When a car is involved in a collision and power is cut off, preventing electric door opening, this emergency handle mechanism allows for manual door opening.

[0030] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, it is applied to the emergency opening of a semi-concealed exterior door handle of an automobile. The emergency handle 4 is a cover plate installed below the handle body, with a rotating shaft 1 and a return spring 2. The emergency handle 4 rotates around the rotating shaft 1, driving the door lock cable 3 to unlock the car door, and at the same time, it returns to its original position under the action of the return spring 2 and the door lock cable 3.

[0031] The working process of this device is as follows:

[0032] 1. Lightly touch the emergency handle 4 below the semi-concealed door handle with your finger;

[0033] 2. Push upwards forcefully, and the emergency handle 4 will rotate around the axis 1 to reach the flipped position;

[0034] 3. The emergency handle 4 drives the door lock cable 3 at the other end to unlock the car door;

[0035] 4. After the car door is unlocked, it can be opened;

[0036] 5. Release your finger, and the emergency handle 4 will reset under the action of the return spring 2 and the door lock cable 3.

[0037] This utility model features a handle positioned below a semi-concealed door handle, preserving the overall handle design. Its upward-flipping structure facilitates operation and enhances ease of use. The unlocking cable 3 is directly mounted to the cover plate, reducing the number of parts and lowering costs. It also solves the problem of being unable to open the door during a power outage.

[0038] This invention solves the problem of semi-concealed door handles preventing door opening in emergencies. For vehicles with electric door opening devices, power is lost after a collision, rendering the doors unable to open. Using this invention, rescue personnel can quickly carry out rescues from the outside, protecting occupants and improving vehicle safety.
