Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of car door accessories technology, specifically a semi-concealed external handle structure. Background Technology

[0002] A car door handle is a mechanical device on a car door used to open and close the door. It is usually made of metal or plastic. Pulling the door handle can trigger the door lock to move, thereby opening the car door.

[0003] Many cars have lock cylinders installed in the door handles or door panels. By inserting a key into the lock cylinder, the door lock body can be activated to open or lock the door.

[0004] Because the lock cylinder is located on the door handle or the door sheet metal, the exposed lock cylinder and its structure are visible, which not only affects the aesthetics and takes up relatively more space, but also increases the chance of water and dust getting into the lock cylinder, which can cause the lock cylinder to jam and become difficult to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the related technologies, the purpose is to provide a semi-concealed external handle structure to solve the technical problems of exposed lock cylinder, poor waterproof and dustproof effect, and unsightly appearance in the related technologies.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the objective is: a semi-concealed external handle structure, comprising:

[0007] A handle base is attached to the vehicle door, and the handle base has a lock cylinder mounting space;

[0008] A first sealing gasket is disposed between the handle seat and the door;

[0009] Two second sealing gaskets are provided one-to-one in the through groove on the handle seat, spaced apart from the first sealing gasket;

[0010] A lock cylinder is connected to the handle seat, passes through the lock cylinder mounting space, and has one end protruding from the lock cylinder mounting space for linkage with the door lock body.

[0011] The rocker arm assembly is connected to the handle seat and spaced apart from the lock cylinder, and is used to link the door lock body.

[0012] A shaft is connected to the handle seat;

[0013] The external handle assembly passes through the through slot, connects to the shaft, and covers the handle seat, the first sealing gasket, the second sealing gasket, the lock cylinder, the opening rocker arm assembly, and the shaft when in contact with the second sealing gasket.

[0014] Furthermore: the handle base has two pre-embedded bolts and two locking blocks;

[0015] The pre-embedded bolts are spaced apart for connection with the vehicle door;

[0016] The locking blocks are spaced apart from each other and spaced apart from the pre-embedded bolts, for engaging with the vehicle door.

[0017] Furthermore: the opening rocker arm assembly includes: an opening rocker arm, which is spaced apart from the handle seat, and one end is contacted and linked by the external handle assembly;

[0018] A torsion spring is connected between the opening rocker arm and the handle seat;

[0019] The first shim is positioned at the middle of the opening rocker arm and is placed on the opening rocker arm.

[0020] The second gasket is placed on top of the first gasket;

[0021] A connector is connected to the handle seat and limits the opening rocker arm, the torsion spring, the first washer, and the second washer;

[0022] And a lever buckle, connected to the other end of the opening rocker arm, for linkage with the door lock body.

[0023] Furthermore, one end of the opening rocker arm has a bent protrusion, and one side wall of the bent protrusion contacts the outer handle assembly.

[0024] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the first gasket is larger than the outer diameter of the second gasket.

[0025] Furthermore: the connector is a self-tapping screw.

[0026] Furthermore: the external handle assembly includes: an external handle, connected to the shaft, and in contact with the second sealing gasket;

[0027] And a protective sleeve, which is fitted onto the outer handle for contacting one side wall of the bent convex edge.

[0028] Furthermore: the external handle includes: a handle body;

[0029] The first hook-shaped protrusion is connected to the handle body, extends through the through groove, and is connected to the shaft;

[0030] The second hook-shaped protrusion is connected to the handle body, spaced apart from the first hook-shaped protrusion, extends out of the through groove, and is connected to the shaft;

[0031] And small protrusions, connected to the second hook-shaped protrusion, connecting the sheath.

[0032] Furthermore: one side wall of the handle body is a regular area, and the other side wall has a concave space and two planes. The planes are in one-to-one contact with the second sealing gasket, and the first hook-shaped protrusion and the second hook-shaped protrusion are provided on the planes.

[0033] Furthermore: the sheath is a soft sheath.

[0034] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: a semi-concealed external handle structure, compared with related technologies, is provided with a handle seat, a first sealing gasket, a second sealing gasket, a lock cylinder, an opening rocker arm assembly, a shaft, and an external handle assembly;

[0035] The opening or closing of the car door can be done in two ways: a first method and a second method.

[0036] The first method is to pull the outer handle assembly, which rotates around the axis, and then the outer handle assembly moves the rocker arm assembly, which rotates partially, and then the rocker arm assembly moves in conjunction with the door lock body, which opens the door. Releasing the outer handle assembly closes the door, and the door is then locked.

[0037] The second method is to pull the outer handle assembly, which rotates around the axis as the rotation center. The outer handle assembly opens. At this time, the rocker arm assembly has not yet been linked to the door lock body. The lock cylinder is exposed. Insert the key into the lock cylinder and rotate the lock cylinder. The lock cylinder is linked to the door lock body, and the door lock body opens or locks the door.

[0038] Because the outer handle assembly forms an obstruction when the car door is closed and locked, covering the handle seat, first sealing gasket, second sealing gasket, lock cylinder, opening rocker arm assembly and shaft, it occupies relatively little space, and the lock cylinder is hidden, which provides relatively good waterproof and dustproof effects and is relatively aesthetically pleasing.

[0039] This overcomes the technical problems of exposed lock cylinders, poor waterproof and dustproof effects, and unsightly appearance. It achieves the technical effect of concealing the lock cylinder, providing relatively good waterproof and dustproof effects, occupying relatively little space, and being relatively aesthetically pleasing, thus possessing practicality.

[0047] To make the content easier to understand, the following detailed description is provided with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings;

[0048] A semi-concealed external handle structure solves the technical problems of exposed lock cylinders, poor waterproofing and dustproofing, and unsightly appearance in related technologies. This design allows for manufacturing and use, achieving the positive effects of concealing the lock cylinder, relatively good waterproofing and dustproofing, relatively small space occupation, and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The overall concept is as follows:

[0049] Implementation

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown; a semi-concealed external handle structure, comprising:

[0051] A handle base 10 is connected to the vehicle door, and the handle base 10 has a lock cylinder mounting space 11;

[0052] A first sealing gasket 20 is disposed between the handle seat 10 and the door;

[0053] Two second sealing gaskets 30 are provided one-to-one in the through groove 12 on the handle seat 10, spaced apart from the first sealing gasket 20;

[0054] The lock cylinder 40 is connected to the handle seat 10, passes through the lock cylinder mounting space 11, and has one end protruding from the lock cylinder mounting space 11 for linkage with the door lock body.

[0055] Open the rocker arm assembly 50, which is connected to the handle seat 10 and spaced apart from the lock cylinder 40, for linkage with the door lock body;

[0056] Shaft 60 is connected to the handle seat 10;

[0057] The external handle assembly 70 passes through the through groove 12, connects to the shaft 60, and covers the handle seat 10, the first sealing gasket 20, the second sealing gasket 30, the lock cylinder 40, the opening rocker arm assembly 50, and the shaft 60 when it contacts the second sealing gasket 30.

[0058] Specifically, during implementation, the opening or closing of the car door can be done in two ways: a first method and a second method.

[0059] The first method is to pull the outer handle assembly 70, which rotates around the axis 60 as the rotation center. The outer handle assembly 70 then moves the rocker arm assembly 50, causing partial rotation of the rocker arm assembly 50. This, in turn, triggers the door lock body to open the door. Releasing the outer handle assembly 70 closes the door.

[0060] The second method is to pull the outer handle assembly 70, which rotates around the axis 60 as the rotation center. The outer handle assembly 70 opens. At this time, the opening rocker arm assembly 50 has not yet been linked to the door lock body (the outer handle assembly 70 has not rotated to the position where it is linked to the opening rocker arm assembly 50 to open the door lock body. For example, the outer handle assembly 70 needs to rotate 90° to link the opening rocker arm assembly 50 to open the door lock body. When the outer handle assembly 70 rotates to 60°, the door lock body does not open the door). The lock cylinder 40 is exposed. A key is inserted into the lock cylinder 40, and the lock cylinder 40 is rotated. The lock cylinder 40 is linked to the door lock body, and the door lock body opens or locks the door.

[0061] When the door is closed and locked, the outer handle assembly 70 forms an obstruction, covering the handle seat 10, the first sealing gasket 20, the second sealing gasket 30, the lock cylinder 40, the opening rocker arm assembly 50 and the shaft 60. It occupies relatively little space, and the lock cylinder 40 is hidden, which provides relatively good waterproof and dustproof effects and is relatively aesthetically pleasing.

[0062] The term "semi-concealed" means that, since the outer handle assembly 70 can rotate and is not fixed, the lock cylinder 40 can be seen when it is rotated open, and the lock cylinder 40 can be blocked when it is closed, thus the lock cylinder 40 is hidden. The lock cylinder 40 has two states: exposed and hidden. Therefore, it is called "semi-concealed".

[0063] Another implementation method:

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown; in practice, the handle seat 10 has two pre-embedded bolts 13 and two locking blocks 14;

[0065] The pre-embedded bolts 13 are spaced apart and are used to pass through the car door. Nuts are connected to the pre-embedded bolts 13 so that the handle seat 10 is connected to the car door, making assembly relatively convenient.

[0066] The locking blocks 14 are spaced apart from each other and spaced apart from the pre-embedded bolts 13, for engaging with the vehicle door;

[0067] For example, the handle base 10 is made of plastic, and the pre-embedded bolt 13 is integrally formed with the handle base 10. The pre-embedded bolt 13 is embedded in the handle base 10, which ensures the structural strength and makes assembly relatively convenient when connecting with the car door.

[0068] The shape of the latch 14 is roughly hook-shaped, which is conducive to engaging with the car door and makes assembly relatively convenient;

[0069] Another implementation method:

[0070] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown; during implementation, a first sealing gasket 20 and a second sealing gasket 30 are provided to ensure sealing, and when the outer handle assembly 70 is in motion, it will not directly collide with the handle seat 10, reducing wear and noise.

[0071] For example, the first sealing gasket 20 and the second sealing gasket 30 are made of rubber, which makes assembly relatively convenient, ensures sealing performance, and reduces noise.

[0072] Another implementation method:

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown; in practice, the lock cylinder 40 is a commonly used structure in the prior art, which is locked in the lock cylinder installation space 11 on the handle seat 10, with one end protruding from the lock cylinder installation space 11. It is connected to the door lock body through a connecting rod (a key is inserted into the lock cylinder 40, the key is rotated, and the connecting rod moves the door lock body). Assembly is relatively convenient, and the lock cylinder 40 is hidden, which has relatively good waterproof and dustproof effects and is relatively aesthetically pleasing. After seeing the disclosed content, a person skilled in the art can directly and without doubt know how to set the lock cylinder 40 without having to do creative work or conduct excessive experiments.

[0074] Another implementation method:

[0075] like Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown; in implementation, the opening rocker arm assembly 50 includes: an opening rocker arm 51, spaced apart from the handle seat 10, one end of which is contacted and linked by the external handle assembly 70; a torsion spring 52, connected between the opening rocker arm 51 and the handle seat 10; a first washer 53, located at the middle position of the opening rocker arm 51, and placed on the opening rocker arm 51; a second washer 54, placed on the first washer 53; a connector 55, connected to the handle seat 10, limiting the opening rocker arm 51, the torsion spring 52, the first washer 53, and the second washer 54; and a pull rod buckle 56, connected to the other end of the opening rocker arm 51, for linking the door lock body;

[0076] The opening rocker arm 51 has an approximate "L" shape, with a bent protruding edge 51-1 at one end and a pull rod buckle 56 connected to the other end. A first washer 53, a second washer 54, and a connector 55 are arranged in the middle position, and a torsion spring 52 is connected in the middle position, so that the opening rocker arm 51 can rotate around the connector 55 as the rotation center. When the opening rocker arm 51 rotates, it twists the torsion spring 52, and the torsion spring 52 generates a rebound torque. When the outer handle assembly 70 is released, the rebound torque of the torsion spring 52 helps the opening rocker arm 51 return to its original position, thereby linking the outer handle assembly 70 to return to its original position, making it relatively convenient to use.

[0077] One side wall of the bent protruding edge 51-1 contacts the outer handle assembly 70, which is conducive to the outer handle assembly 70 opening the rocker arm 51 to rotate in conjunction with the rocker arm 51.

[0078] Among them, the torsion spring 52 is a commonly used structure in the prior art, which is beneficial for generating rebound torque;

[0079] Among them, the first gasket 53 and the second gasket 54 are both annular gaskets;

[0080] The outer diameter of the first shim 53 is larger than that of the second shim 54. This size setting ensures relatively good reliability when placed between the rocker arm 51 and the connector 55, and also results in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0081] The connector 55 is a self-tapping screw that is threaded to the handle seat 10. This helps to limit the opening rocker arm 51, the torsion spring 52, the first washer 53 and the second washer 54, and will not affect the rotation of the opening rocker arm 51.

[0082] The lever buckle 56 is connected to the other end of the opening rocker arm 51 and is used to connect to the door lock body via the lever. The lever buckle 56 is a common structure in the prior art. After seeing the disclosed content, a person skilled in the art can directly and without doubt know how to set the lever buckle 56 without having to put in creative effort or conduct excessive experiments.

[0083] Another implementation method:

[0084] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown; in practice, shaft 60 is a section of circular shaft with raised areas 61 at both ends;

[0085] For example: the raised area 61 consists of several arc-shaped protrusions;

[0086] The protruding area 61 is provided to prevent the shaft 60 from sliding along the handle seat 10 and disengaging from the handle seat 10, thus ensuring relatively good structural reliability.

[0087] Another implementation method:

[0088] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown; in implementation, the outer handle assembly 70 includes: an outer handle 71 connected to the shaft 60 and in contact with the second sealing gasket 30; and a sleeve 72 fitted onto the outer handle 71 for contacting one side wall of the bent protrusion 51-1.

[0089] The outer handle 71 includes: a handle body 71-1; a first hook-shaped protrusion 71-2 connected to the handle body 71-1, extending through the through groove 12 and connected to the shaft 60; a second hook-shaped protrusion 71-3 connected to the handle body 71-1, spaced apart from the first hook-shaped protrusion 71-2, extending through the through groove 12 and connected to the shaft 60; and a small protrusion 71-4 connected to the second hook-shaped protrusion 71-3 and connected to the protective sleeve 72.

[0090] The handle body 71-1, the first hook-shaped protrusion 71-2, the second hook-shaped protrusion 71-3, and the small protrusion 71-4 are integrally formed;

[0091] The handle body 71-1 forms an obstruction;

[0092] The first hook-shaped protrusion 71-2 and the second hook-shaped protrusion 71-3 are conducive to engaging with the shaft 60;

[0093] Small protrusions 71-4 facilitate connection of the sheath 72;

[0094] One sidewall of the handle body 71-1 is a regular area 71-11, and the other sidewall has a concave space 71-12 and two planes 71-13. The planes 71-13 are in one-to-one contact with the second sealing gasket 30. The first hook-shaped protrusion 71-2 and the second hook-shaped protrusion 71-3 are provided at the planes 71-13.

[0095] The area 71-11 is set as a regular area, for example: the regular area 71-11 is a plane, or the regular area 71-11 is a combination of a plane and a curved surface, with a regular shape, which is relatively aesthetically pleasing;

[0096] The recessed spaces 71-12 are designed to facilitate hand gripping and operation.

[0097] The flat surface 71-13 is provided, which facilitates its fit with the second sealing gasket 30 and ensures a tight seal.

[0098] The sheath 72 is a soft sheath, such as a rubber sheath, which is fitted onto the small protrusion 71-4 and has the function of reducing noise when it comes into contact with the bent protrusion 51-1.
