[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0025] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment relates to a vehicle including an emergency door inward opening handle assembly. The emergency door inward opening handle assembly is installed on the interior door panel and is used to accommodate the unlocking ring 101 of the mechanical cable 1. The mechanical cable 1 is connected to the mechanical opening mechanism of the door, and the door can be opened when the mechanical cable 1 is pulled.
[0026] The vehicle emergency door inward handle assembly mainly includes a bracket body 2 and a cover plate 3. The bracket body 2 is directly fixedly installed on the door trim panel. The bracket body 2 has a cavity 4 for accommodating the unlocking pull ring 101. A cable retainer 5 is formed on one side wall of the cavity 4. The cable retainer 5 on the mechanical cable 1 is engaged in the cable retainer 6 to keep the mechanical cable 1 in a stable position. The unlocking pull ring 101 is located inside the cavity 4. When the unlocking pull ring 101 is pulled, the mechanical cable 1 moves within the cable retainer 5.
[0027] The cavity 4 on the bracket body 2 has an outward opening. When needed, the driver and passengers can operate the unlocking ring 101 through this opening to open the car door. To avoid accidental operation and to maintain the overall aesthetics of the door interior panel, a cover plate 3 is provided at the opening of the cavity 4.
[0028] Specifically, a flange 7 is provided on the side wall of the cavity 4. The flange 7 is configured such that half of the cavity 4 is higher and the other half is lower, or only half of the cavity 4 is provided, to allow space for the rotation of the cover plate 3. In this embodiment, the portion of the flange 7 located on the rear half of the cavity 4 is higher, while the portion on the front half of the cavity 4 is lower. Here, "higher" means that the flange 7 is closer to the opening edge of the cavity 4.
[0029] A groove 8 is provided on the rear half of the flange 7 near the junction of the front and rear portions. The bottom surface of the cover plate 3 has protruding shafts 9 on both sides that mate with the grooves 8. The bottom surface of the cover plate 3 refers to the side of the cover plate 3 opposite to its outer surface. The cover plate 3 is divided into a front and a rear portion by the protruding shafts 9. When the cover plate 3 is closed onto the cavity, a portion of the rear edge of the cover plate 3 is supported by the flange 7, and the protruding shafts 9 are supported by the grooves 8. Simultaneously, the front portion of the cover plate 3 maintains a certain distance from the flange 7, allowing the protruding shafts 9 to rotate within the grooves 8 when the front portion of the cover plate 3 is pressed.
[0030] The rear of the cover plate 3 is provided with multiple locking heads, which engage with the cavity 4 when the cover plate 3 is closed. In this embodiment, the locking heads include two locking posts 10 located on both sides of the cover plate 3, and a locking hook 11 located at the rear end of the cover plate 3. The rear side wall of the cavity 4 is provided with locking holes 12 that cooperate with the locking hook 11. In addition, in order to ensure that the front part of the cover plate 3 does not directly detach from the cavity 4 when closed, the front part of the cover plate 3 is provided with a stop tongue 13, and the front side wall of the cavity 4 is provided with a limiting hole 14 that cooperates with the stop tongue 13. When the cover plate 3 is closed with the cavity 4, the stop tongue 13 extends into the limiting hole 14 and the limiting hole 14 restricts the upward flipping of the front part of the cover plate 3. At the same time, the locking posts 10 contact the side walls of the cavity 4, and the locking hook 11 engages in the locking hole 12, so that the rear part of the cover plate 3 is kept in the opening position of the cavity 4. When the front of the cover plate 3 is pressed, the hook 11 disengages from the locking hole 12, the front of the cover plate 3 flips down, and the rear of the cover plate 3 rises up. When all the locking heads are disengaged from the side wall of the cavity 4, the cover plate 3 is essentially no longer constrained by the cavity 4 and can be easily separated from the cavity 4, thereby allowing the unlocking pull ring 101 to be operated. It should be noted that the mating surface between the hook 11 and the locking hole 12 should be designed to be relatively small to ensure that the hook 11 can disengage from the locking hole 12 without excessive force.
[0031] The separation of the cover plate 3 from the cavity 4 does not mean that the cover plate 3 is separated from the bracket body 2. To ensure that the cover plate 3, which is accidentally separated from the cavity 4, will not fly off the bracket body 2 and cause injury in the event of an accidental impact, a connecting hole 15 is provided on the bracket body 2. A flexible connector 16 is connected to the front of the cover plate 3. The head end of the flexible connector 16 passes through the connecting hole 15 and is provided with a limiting structure to prevent the head end of the flexible connector 16 from passing through the connecting hole 15 in the opposite direction. Thus, whether the cover plate 3 is manually opened and detached from the cavity 4, or is accidentally impacted and detached from the cavity 4, it can maintain its connection with the bracket body 2 and not fly off. Since the rear of the cover plate 3 separates from the cavity 4 first when it is opened, the flexible connector 16 is preferably located at the front of the cover plate 3 to avoid obstructing the opening operation. However, it should be noted that the flexible connector 16 can still be located at the rear of the cover plate 3; a flexible connector 16 of sufficient length will not prevent the cover plate 3 from being unable to open.
[0032] In this embodiment, the limiting structure includes a herringbone-shaped member 17 made of elastic material. The tip of the herringbone-shaped member 17 is aligned with the head of the flexible connector 16, meaning the flexible connector 16 is positioned at the forked portion of the herringbone-shaped member 17 and connects with the limiting structure. The spacing of the tail openings 1701 of the herringbone-shaped member 17 is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole 15. During installation, the tail openings 1701 of the herringbone-shaped member 17 are compressed, allowing the limiting structure to pass through the connecting hole 15. Then, the tail end of the herringbone-shaped member 17 is released. Thus, when the cover plate 3 separates from the cavity 4, the herringbone-shaped member 17 with its larger spacing of tail openings 1701 cannot pass through the connecting hole 15, and the inertia of the cover plate 3 itself cannot cause sufficient deformation of the herringbone-shaped member 17. This keeps the cover plate 3 connected to the bracket body 2 and prevents it from flying off.
[0033] Example 2, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the main difference between the vehicle emergency door inward opening handle assembly in this embodiment and that in embodiment 1 is that the rotatable part structure formed by the cooperation of the cover plate 3 and the cavity 4 is different, as is the construction of the limiting structure of the head end connection of the flexible connector 16.
[0034] In this design, a recessed cavity 18 is formed on the side wall of the cavity 4, opposite to the groove 9 of the flange 7. The convex shaft 9 of the cover plate 3 is provided with a convex ball portion 19 that mates with the recessed cavity 18. When the cover plate 3 is closed, the convex ball portion 19 is located in the recessed cavity 18 and mates with the recessed cavity 18 to form a rotating shaft. When the cover plate 3 is pressed, the convex ball portion 19 rotates in the recessed cavity 18. When the clips of the cover plate 3 are separated from the cavity 4, the convex ball portion 19 is still in the recessed cavity 18, so that the cover plate 3 will not immediately separate from the cavity 4, thus avoiding the cover plate 3 from quickly flying off during the pressing operation.
[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting structure is designed as a rhombus-shaped component 20. The tail end of the rhombus-shaped component 20 is connected to the head end of the flexible connector 16. The two sides of the rhombus-shaped component 20 extend from one side of the rhombus to the tail end to form a V-shape 2001. The distance between the V-shapes 2001 on both sides of the rhombus-shaped component 20 is greater than the diameter of the connecting hole 15. The rhombus-shaped component 20 is equivalent to adding two support bars 2002 to the "V"-shaped component 17 in Embodiment 1. This allows the "V"-shaped component 17 to better maintain its shape and prevents the limiting structure from accidentally passing through the connecting hole 15, causing the cover plate 3 to detach from the bracket body 2.
