[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] This utility model provides an upward-opening, outward-opening handle assembly; see [link / reference]. Figures 1-2The assembly includes: a base 10, an embedded nut 20, a handle 30, a button 40, a return spring 50, a counterweight 60, a retaining ring 70, a connecting block 80, a pin 90, a button spring, a sealing gasket 100, a bushing 200, a buffer pad 300, a self-tapping screw 400, a damper self-tapping screw 500, a damper 600, and a switch assembly 700. The button spring is snapped into the bottom of the button 40 and embedded inside the handle 30. The handle 30 is mounted on the base 10 and connected to the base 10 via the pin 90. The pin 90 passes through the base 10, the handle 30, and the bushing 200 in sequence and is fixed by riveting. The pin of the return spring 50 is locked into the handle 30.

[0027] A square platform is erected on the back of the base 10. The design allows the nut 20 to be embedded on the platform instead of directly on the base 10. This avoids the problem of uneven wall thickness of the base 10 when the nut is injection molded as an insert, thereby improving the surface shrinkage of the base 10.

[0028] The counterweight 60 is fixed to the base 10 by riveting. The buffer pad 300, the counterweight 60, the counterweight 60, the connecting block 80, the micro switch assembly 700 and the sealing gasket 100 are installed in sequence.

[0029] The base 10 is equipped with a flexible buckle 11 structure for automatic engagement with the door sheet metal, and is fastened to the embedded nut 20 by M5 bolts.

[0030] The elastic buckle 11 is a feature that connects the bottom of the base 10 to the door sheet metal. During the assembly process, it relies on the elastic deformation of the product to be pressed into the sheet metal.

[0031] The slot is an integrally molded structure on the back of the base 10, used to directly fix the connector 710 of the switch assembly 700.

[0032] Connector 710 is the tip of the product wiring harness plug, with two terminals that connect to the door connector.

[0033] The damper 600 is mounted via self-tapping screws 400 and works in conjunction with the buffer pad 300 to reduce handle rebound noise. The outer surface of the base 10 is shaped to match the curved surface of the door sheet metal, creating a continuous and smooth transition. The buffer pad 300 and damper 600 are evenly distributed at the contact points along the handle opening path.

[0034] The additional embedded nut 20 in this invention increases the stability of the product on the car door; the elastic buckle 11 snaps in place, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly of the product on the car door sheet metal and effectively increasing the product's service life; the slot structure of the connector 710 saves on the matching fixing seat, reducing costs while saving space in the Y-direction arrangement and providing greater fault tolerance; the lock cylinder fixed by the snap ring 70 has lower costs and simpler processes, saving time and improving production efficiency in the OEM vehicle assembly process; the consistent shape with the car door sheet metal improves the smoothness of the vehicle body, reduces wind resistance, and has an aesthetically pleasing appearance; the evenly distributed thick buffer pad 300 and damper 600 structure effectively reduce the rebound noise when the handle is opened to its maximum angle, improving the feel and optimizing the user's sensory experience.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
