Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a door handle assembly, a door, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive market, vehicles have gradually become indispensable products in life and production. Currently, most car door handles on the market use electronic switches for unlocking. To allow the door to be opened even when the vehicle is powered off, most vehicles also have mechanical switches on the interior handles. However, the switches on current car door handles are not easily recognized, resulting in a poor user experience and limiting quick opening in emergencies. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a door handle assembly, a door, and a vehicle. The switch is easy to identify, provides a good user experience, and can be quickly opened in an emergency.

[0004] In one aspect, a door handle assembly is provided. The door handle assembly includes a pull handle and a button. The pull handle includes a handle portion and a connecting portion. The handle portion is ring-shaped and includes an operating end and a connecting end. A handle groove is provided between the operating end and the base. The connecting end is fixedly connected to the connecting portion. The end of the connecting portion away from the handle portion is movably connected to the base. The button is located on the inner side of the handle portion. An operating space is provided between the button and the operating end, and the operating space communicates with the handle groove. Both the pull handle and the button are used to unlock the door.

[0005] It is understood that the door handle assembly in this embodiment includes a button and a pull handle. The handle portion can be ring-shaped, and the button is located inside the handle portion, with an operating space between it and the operating end of the handle portion. In this way, on the one hand, the door handle assembly integrates both electric and mechanical door opening functions, adapting to a wider range of application scenarios. Users can freely choose how to open the door, resulting in a better user experience. On the other hand, users can quickly identify the operating end and button of the handle portion based on the shape of the handle portion and the operating space between the button and the operating end of the handle portion, effectively reducing the learning curve for users to open the door using the pull handle and button, and enabling rapid door opening.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the door handle assembly also includes a first light source, which is located in the handle groove or in the base.

[0007] It is understandable that the door handle assembly in this embodiment uses a first light source to indicate the operating end of the handle, so as to facilitate user identification, effectively reducing the user's learning cost, and enabling the user to quickly operate the operating end of the handle through the first light source to open the door.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the first light source emits light towards the operating end. By directing the first light source towards the operating end of the handle, the user can quickly identify the operating end of the handle based on the light source's illumination, reducing the user's learning curve and enabling rapid door opening.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the first light source has multiple emission modes.

[0010] It is understood that the first light source in this embodiment can have multiple light emission modes. Different light emission modes can correspond to different usage scenarios. In this way, the first light source can provide different information to the user through different light emission modes. For example, when the vehicle is in normal working condition, it is in a constant light mode to indicate the location of the operating end of the button and handle, making it easier for the user to identify the button and handle to open the door; when the vehicle is in an emergency, it is in a rapidly flashing mode to prompt the user to quickly identify the operating end of the handle and operate it to quickly open the door and reduce safety hazards.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the power of the first light source is greater than or equal to 0.2 watts. This higher power allows the first light source to emit more conspicuous light, making it easier for users to identify. Simultaneously, the higher power of the first light source also better supports functions such as rapid flashing in certain light emission modes.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the door handle assembly also includes a second light source, which is configured to correspond to the button.

[0013] It is understood that the door handle assembly in this embodiment also includes a second light source, which can be configured to correspond with a button. In this way, the second light source can indicate the location of the button, allowing the user to identify and operate it to open the door, resulting in a better user experience.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the button has an external surface, and the light emitted by the second light source is oriented in the same direction as the external surface. This way, the light emitted by the second light source can effectively indicate the button, making it easier for the user to identify.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the power of the first light source is greater than that of the second light source. This higher power of the first light source allows it to emit more conspicuous light, making it easier for users to identify. Simultaneously, the first light source can also better support functions such as rapid flashing in certain light emission modes.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the light emission direction of the first light source is different from that of the second light source. This allows the first and second light sources to be used respectively to indicate the operating end and buttons on the handle, enabling users to clearly distinguish between two different ways of opening the car door, reducing the learning curve and improving the user experience.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first light source is fixedly connected to the handle portion on the side facing the handle groove. This allows the first light source to be shielded by the handle portion, improving aesthetics and enhancing the user experience.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the button has a first light-transmitting portion on the side facing the operating end, and a first light source is located inside the button and opposite to the first light-transmitting portion, or the first light source is located within the first light-transmitting portion. In this way, the first light source can be built into the button, avoiding exposure and improving aesthetics and user experience.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the base has a second light-transmitting section, and the first light source is located on the side of the second light-transmitting section opposite to the handle, or the first light source is located within the second light-transmitting section. This allows the first light source to be built into the base, preventing it from being exposed, thus improving the aesthetics and enhancing the user experience.

[0020] Secondly, a door handle assembly is provided. The door handle assembly includes a pull handle, a button, and a first light source. The pull handle includes a handle portion and a connecting portion. The handle portion includes an operating end and a connecting end. A handle groove is provided between the operating end and the base. The connecting end is fixedly connected to the connecting portion. The end of the connecting portion away from the handle portion is movably connected to the base. The button is installed on the base. The first light source is located in the handle groove. Both the pull handle and the button are used to unlock the door.

[0021] It is understandable that the door handle assembly in this embodiment, by placing the first light source in the handle groove, allows the first light source to better indicate the operating end of the handle, making it easier for users to identify and effectively reducing the user's learning cost. This allows users to quickly operate the operating end of the handle through the first light source to open the door.

[0022] Secondly, the door handle assembly in this embodiment integrates both button and pull handle unlocking methods, which can be adapted to a wide range of application scenarios. Users can freely choose how to open the door, resulting in a better user experience.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the first light source emits light towards the operating end of the handle. By directing the first light source towards the operating end of the handle, the user can quickly identify the operating end of the handle based on the light source's illumination, reducing the user's learning curve and enabling rapid door opening.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the first light source has multiple emission modes.

[0025] It is understood that the first light source in this embodiment can have multiple light emission modes. Different light emission modes can correspond to different usage scenarios. In this way, the first light source can provide different information to the user through different light emission modes. For example, when the vehicle is in normal working condition, it is in a constant light mode to indicate the location of the operating end of the button and handle, making it easier for the user to identify the button and handle to open the door; when the vehicle is in an emergency, it is in a rapidly flashing mode to prompt the user to quickly identify the operating end of the handle and operate it to quickly open the door and reduce safety hazards.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the power of the first light source is greater than or equal to 0.2 watts. This higher power allows the first light source to emit more conspicuous light, making it easier for users to identify. Simultaneously, the higher power of the first light source also better supports functions such as rapid flashing in certain light emission modes.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the door handle assembly also includes a second light source, which is configured to correspond to the button.

[0028] It is understood that the door handle assembly in this embodiment also includes a second light source, which can be configured to correspond with a button. In this way, the second light source can indicate the location of the button, allowing the user to identify and operate it to open the door, resulting in a better user experience.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the button has an external surface, and the light emitted by the second light source is oriented in the same direction as the external surface. This way, the light emitted by the second light source can effectively indicate the button, making it easier for the user to identify.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the power of the first light source is greater than that of the second light source. This higher power of the first light source allows it to emit more conspicuous light, making it easier for users to identify. Simultaneously, the first light source can also better support functions such as rapid flashing in certain light emission modes.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the light emission direction of the first light source is different from that of the second light source. This allows the first and second light sources to be used respectively to indicate the operating end and buttons on the handle, enabling users to clearly distinguish between two different ways of opening the car door, reducing the learning curve and improving the user experience.

[0032] Thirdly, a vehicle door is provided. The vehicle door includes an inner panel, an outer panel, and the aforementioned door handle assembly, with the inner panel fixedly connected to the outer panel and the door handle assembly mounted on the inner panel.

[0033] Understandably, the door in this embodiment integrates both button and handle unlocking methods, adapting to a wider range of application scenarios. Users can freely choose how to open the door, resulting in a superior user experience. Secondly, the handle's operating interface in this embodiment is easily identifiable, effectively reducing the learning curve for users and allowing them to quickly open the door by manipulating the handle.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the door also includes a power supply device electrically connected to a first light source in the door handle assembly, which supplies power to the first light source. In this way, the power supply device built into the door can supply power to the first light source, ensuring that the first light source continues to function normally even when the vehicle is powered off.

[0035] Fourthly, a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes the aforementioned door, or includes the aforementioned door handle assembly.

[0036] Understandably, in this embodiment, the vehicle door integrates both button and handle unlocking methods, adapting to a wider range of application scenarios. Users can freely choose how to open the door, resulting in a superior user experience. Secondly, the handle's operating interface in this embodiment is easily identifiable, effectively reducing the learning curve for users and allowing them to quickly open the door by manipulating the handle.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the vehicle further includes a first control module and a second control module. The first control module is used to control the first light source of the door handle assembly, and the second control module is used to control the door locks of the vehicle.

[0038] In this way, by setting up a first control module and a second control module to electrically connect the first light source and the door lock respectively, the control of the first light source and the door lock is independent. This reduces the risk of failure when a single control module controls both the first light source and the door lock simultaneously, ensuring the normal operation of both.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the first control module is also used to control the second light source of the door handle assembly. The first control module includes a first controller and a second controller, with the first controller electrically connected to the first light source and the second controller electrically connected to the second light source. In this way, the first and second light sources can be independently controlled by the first and second controllers respectively, thereby reducing the risk of failure when a single controller simultaneously controls both the first and second light sources, and ensuring the normal operation of both light sources.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the vehicle includes a first power source and a second power source. The first power source is electrically connected to a first light source of the door handle assembly, and the second power source is electrically connected to the vehicle's door locks. This ensures that the power supply to the first light source and the door locks is independent, thereby avoiding the risk of failure when a single power source simultaneously supplies power to both the first light source and the door locks.

[0054] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed connection" refers to a connection where the relative positional relationship remains unchanged after connection. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this application, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application. "Multiple" refers to at least two.

[0056] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0058] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as used in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in another embodiment" appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0059] It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the relevant application and not for limiting the application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the vehicle 1000 provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a vehicle 1000. It should be understood that the vehicle 1000 here is a vehicle in a broad sense, and can be a means of transportation (such as commercial vehicles, passenger cars, motorcycles, flying cars, trains, etc.), industrial vehicles (such as forklifts, trailers, tractors, etc.), engineering vehicles (such as excavators, bulldozers, cranes, etc.), agricultural equipment (such as lawnmowers, harvesters, etc.). Furthermore, the robot can be an automated guided vehicle (AGV), a walking conversational robot, or a service robot.

[0062] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the door of vehicle 1000 in some embodiments. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of some embodiments of the structure cut along point AA.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, vehicle 1000 may include a door 1100. Door 1100 may include a door handle assembly 2000. The door handle assembly 2000 can be used to lock or unlock door 1100. Exemplarily, door 1100 may include an inner panel 1200 and an outer panel 1300. The inner panel 1200 may be fixedly connected to the outer panel 1300. The door handle assembly 2000 may be mounted on the inner panel 1200. A mounting space 1400 may be formed between the inner panel 1200 and the outer panel 1300. The mounting space 1400 may be used to install wiring, parts of the door handle assembly 2000, connectors, and other components. The side of the inner panel 1200 facing away from the outer panel 1300 may be located inside the passenger compartment of vehicle 1000. The side of the outer panel 1300 facing away from the inner panel 1200 may be located outside vehicle 1000. The surface of the outer panel 1300 facing away from the inner panel 1200 can form the exterior surface of the door 1100.

[0064] For example, the door handle assembly 2000 may include an unlock switch and a door lock. The unlock switch may be connected to the door lock. The door lock may be electrically connected to the control module and power supply of the vehicle 1000. A user can unlock the door lock by operating the unlock switch to open the door 1100. The unlock switch may be an electronic switch or a mechanical switch.

[0065] For example, the electronic control switch can be a touch switch, a push-button switch, etc. The user can unlock the door lock by touching or pressing the electronic control switch to open the door 1100.

[0066] For example, the door handle assembly 2000 may include a pull handle 100. The pull handle 100 may constitute a mechanical switch. The pull handle 100 may be movably connected to the inner panel 1200 of the door 1100. The door 1100 may also include a cable. One end of the cable may be connected to the pull handle 100, and the other end may be connected to the door lock. A user can operate the pull handle 100 relative to the door 1100 (e.g., rotate, pull open, etc.) to cause the pull handle 100 to pull the cable and trigger the door lock to unlock, thereby opening the door 1100.

[0067] In the event of a power outage in vehicle 1000 (e.g., due to an emergency such as a car accident or fire), the electronic control switch will malfunction, preventing the door 1100 from opening properly. Therefore, the door handle assembly 2000 typically includes both an electronic and a mechanical switch. In other words, the door handle assembly 2000 can include both an electronic and a mechanical switch. The mechanical switch serves as an emergency switch for vehicle 1000 in case of emergencies.

[0068] Currently, the switches on the inside of the doors in most vehicles are not easily recognizable, resulting in a high learning curve and a poor user experience. This also limits the ability to quickly open the doors in emergencies. The embodiment of this application optimizes the structure of the door handle assembly 2000, making it easier for users to quickly learn the opening position of the door 1100 by recognizing the pull handle 100 (i.e., the mechanical switch). This significantly reduces the learning curve and improves the user experience through an electronically controlled switch, thus optimizing the door 1100 opening experience.

[0069] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide a detailed description of a door handle assembly 2000 provided in this application.

[0070] Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows an enlarged view of the structure of door 1100 at point B. Figure 5 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the structure cut along point CC. Figure 6 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the structure cut along point DD. It should be noted that... Figures 4 to 6 The accompanying drawings and subsequent figures only schematically illustrate the structure of the door handle assembly 2000 and do not constitute a specific limitation on the door handle assembly 2000. The door handle assembly 2000 may also include more or fewer components than shown, or combine some components, or separate some components, or have different component arrangements. The components shown can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware. For ease of understanding, Figure 4 The handle 100 and button 300 are indicated by different shaded lines.

[0071] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the door handle assembly 2000 may further include a base 200 and a button 300. The base 200 may be fixedly connected to the inner panel 1200. The base 200 may be used to mount other structural components of the door handle assembly 2000. In some embodiments, the base 200 may also be formed from a portion of the inner panel 1200. The base 200 may be a mounting structure for mounting the door handle assembly 2000. That is, the base 200 may be a part of the inner panel 1200. The base 200 and the inner panel 1200 may be an integral structural component.

[0072] Exemplarily, the handle 100 may include a handle portion 10 and a connecting portion 20. The handle portion 10 may include an operating end 11 and a connecting end 12. The operating end 11 of the handle portion 10 may be spaced apart from the base 200. A handle groove 30 may be formed between the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10 and the base 200. Exemplarily, the handle groove 30 may be formed in the base 200. The opening of the handle groove 30 may face the handle portion 10. At least a portion of the handle portion 10 may be located within the handle groove 30. The operating end 11 of the handle portion 10 may be spaced apart from the bottom wall 31 of the handle groove 30. It should be noted that, for ease of understanding, Figure 5 The handle portion 10 and the connecting portion 20 of the pull handle 100 are schematically divided by dashed lines. In this embodiment, the handle portion 10 and the connecting portion 20 can be integrally formed, that is, the pull handle 100 can be a one-piece structure. In other embodiments, the handle portion 10 and the connecting portion 20 can also be independent components, and the two can be fixedly connected together by means of bonding, welding, screwing, etc.

[0073] For example, the connecting portion 20 can be fixedly connected to the connecting end 12 of the handle portion 10. The end of the connecting portion 20 away from the handle portion 10 can be movably connected to the base 200. For example, the connecting portion 20 can be located on the side of the handle portion 10 near the base 200. The end of the connecting portion 20 away from the handle portion 10 can be movably connected to the base 200.

[0074] For example, the end of the connecting part 20 away from the handle part 10 can be rotatably connected to the base 200. The connecting part 20 can also be connected to a pull cable. The user can operate the operating end 11 of the handle part 10 to pull the operating end 11 of the handle part 10 out relative to the handle groove 30, so that the pull handle 100 can rotate relative to the base 200, thereby pulling the pull cable, which triggers the door lock to open the door 1100.

[0075] Exemplarily, button 300 can be mounted on base 200. Exemplarily, handle portion 10 can be ring-shaped. Button 300 can be located inside handle portion 10. Button 300 can be positioned close to connection end 12 of handle portion 10 relative to operating end 11 of handle portion 10. Button 300 can be spaced apart from operating end 11 of handle portion 10. There can be operating space 40 between button 300 and operating end 11 of handle portion 10. Operating space 40 can communicate with handle groove 30. In this way, the user can reach into the space between button 300 and handle groove 30 (i.e., operating space 40 in this embodiment) to operate operating end 11 of handle portion 10 (e.g., pull operating end 11 out relative to handle groove 30) to open vehicle door 1100.

[0076] For example, button 300 may include button base 310, button 320, and switch 330. Button base 310 may be mounted on base 200. Button base 310 has an opening 311 on the side near handle portion 10. Button 320 may be disposed inside button base 310. Part of button 320 may be exposed relative to opening 311 of button base 310. Switch 330 may be fixed inside button base 310. Switch 330 may be correspondingly configured with button 320. In this way, the user can activate switch 330 by operating button 320, thereby opening door 1100.

[0077] For example, switch 330 may be located between button 320 and button base 310. Button 320 may be connected to switch 330. Switch 330 may be a micro switch. Button 320 may slide relative to button base 310. A user can press button 320, causing it to slide relative to button base 310 towards switch 330, thereby triggering switch 330 and enabling the electric opening function of door 1100. In some embodiments, switch 330 may also be a sensor switch. A user can also trigger switch 330 by touching or sliding button 320 to enable the electric opening function of door 1100.

[0078] When the user operates the handle 10, the button 300 remains stationary.

[0079] It is understood that the door handle assembly 2000 in this embodiment includes a button 300 and a pull handle 100. The handle portion 10 of the pull handle 100 may be ring-shaped, and the button 300 is located inside the handle portion 10, with an operating space 40 between it and the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10. In this way, on the one hand, the door handle assembly 2000 integrates both electric and mechanical door opening functions, which can adapt to a wide range of application scenarios. Users can freely choose how to open the door 1100, resulting in a better user experience. On the other hand, users can quickly identify the operating end 11 and button 300 of the handle portion 10 by the shape of the handle portion 10 and the operating space 40 between the button 300 and the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10. This can effectively reduce the learning cost for users to open the door 1100 using the pull handle 100 and button 300, and enable the door 1100 to be opened quickly.

[0080] In some implementations, the operating space 40 and / or handle groove 30 between the button 300 and the operating end 11 of the handle 10 can also be used for personalized design (e.g., arranging indicator LEDs / strips, ambient lights, etc.) to enhance the user experience.

[0081] Please refer to it again. Figures 4 to 6The door handle assembly 2000 may further include a first light source 400. The first light source 400 may be disposed in the handle groove 30. The first light source 400 may emit light toward the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10. The first light source 400 may be a light source such as a bulb or a light strip. Exemplarily, the first light source 400 may be a semiconductor light-emitting diode (LED). The power of the first light source 400 may be greater than or equal to 0.2 watts. In some embodiments, the power of the first light source 400 may be greater than or equal to 0.5 watts. In some embodiments, the power of the first light source 400 may be in the range of 0.5 watts to 2 watts.

[0082] For example, the first light source 400 can be fixedly connected to the side of the handle portion 10 facing the handle groove 30. The first light source 400 can be located on the side of the button 300 near the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10. The first light source 400 can emit light towards the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10.

[0083] For example, the first light source 400 may have multiple light emission modes, such as a first light emission mode and a second light emission mode. The color, brightness, and flicker frequency of the light emitted by the first light source 400 in the first light emission mode and the second light emission mode may not be exactly the same. For example, when the first light source 400 is in the first light emission mode, it may emit relatively soft colored light such as yellow or white light. The first light source 400 may be in a constantly lit state. When the first light source 400 is in the second light emission mode, it may emit relatively bright and dazzling colored light such as red or orange light. The first light source 400 may be in a rapidly flickering (strobe) state.

[0084] For example, when the vehicle 1000 is in normal operating condition, the first light source 400 can be in a first light-emitting mode. At this time, the first light source 400 can be in a constant-on state and emit a relatively soft colored light. The first light source 400 can indicate the position of the handle 10 and the button 300, and illuminate the operating end 11 of the handle 10, so that the user can easily identify the operating end 11 of the handle 10 and the button 300, whether it is day or night, reducing the user's learning cost, thereby realizing quick opening of the vehicle door 1100.

[0085] For example, when vehicle 1000 is in an emergency (e.g., in the event of a collision), the first light source 400 can be in a second light-emitting mode. In this mode, the first light source 400 can be in a rapid flashing mode, emitting a bright, glaring colored light. The first light source 400 can prompt the user to quickly identify and operate the operating end 11 of the handle 10, enabling the door 1100 to be opened quickly. This facilitates escape and rescue for the user in an emergency, reducing safety hazards to vehicle 1000.

[0086] It is understood that the door handle assembly 2000 in this embodiment uses a first light source 400 to indicate the operation end 11 of the handle 10, so as to facilitate user identification, effectively reduce the user's learning cost, and enable the user to quickly operate the operation end 11 of the handle 10 through the first light source 400 to open the door 1100.

[0087] Secondly, in this embodiment, the first light source 400 can emit light toward the operating end 11 of the handle 10, so that the user can quickly identify the operating end 11 of the handle 10 according to the light guidance of the first light source 400, reducing the user's learning cost and enabling the car door 1100 to open quickly.

[0088] Furthermore, the first light source 400 in this embodiment can have multiple light emission modes. Different light emission modes can correspond to different usage scenarios. In this way, the first light source 400 can provide different information to the user through different light emission modes. For example, when the vehicle 1000 is in normal working condition, it is in a constant light mode to indicate the location of the button 300 and the operating end 11 of the handle 10, making it easier for the user to identify the button 300 and the handle 10 to open the door 1100; when the vehicle 1000 is in an emergency, it is in a rapid flashing mode to prompt the user to quickly identify the operating end 11 of the handle 10 and operate it to quickly open the door 1100 and reduce safety hazards.

[0089] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the power of the first light source 400 can be greater than or equal to 0.2 watts. This results in a higher power for the first light source 400, enabling it to emit more conspicuous light for easier user identification. Simultaneously, the higher power of the first light source 400 also better supports functions such as rapid flashing in certain specific light emission modes (i.e., the second light emission mode in this embodiment).

[0090] In some implementations, the first light source 400 may also include other light emission modes besides the first light emission mode and the second light emission mode to adapt to more diverse application scenarios.

[0091] Please refer to it again. Figures 4 to 6The door handle assembly 2000 may also include a second light source 500. The second light source 500 may be correspondingly positioned to correspond with the button 300. The second light source 500 may be used to indicate the button 300. Exemplarily, the second light source 500 may be an LED bulb or a light strip. The second light source 500 may be located within the button housing 310. The surface of the button 320 facing away from the switch 330 may constitute the outer surface 301 of the button 300. The light emission direction of the second light source 500 may be the same as the orientation of the outer surface 301 of the button 300. In some embodiments, the second light source 500 may also be positioned around the button 300.

[0092] For example, the light emitted by the second light source 500 can illuminate the gap between the periphery of the button 320 and the button base 310, creating an ambient lighting effect. In some embodiments, the button 320 may also have a transparent portion. The shape of the light-transmitting portion can be patterned, such as a door opening indicator, a logo, or other patterns. The light emitted by the second light source 500 can illuminate the transparent portion of the button 320.

[0093] For example, the power of the second light source 500 may be less than the power of the first light source 400. The power of the second light source 500 may be less than or equal to 0.1 watts.

[0094] For example, the light emission direction of the second light source 500 may be different from that of the first light source 400.

[0095] It is understood that the door handle assembly 2000 in this embodiment also includes a second light source 500, which can be configured to correspond with the button 300. In this way, the second light source 500 can indicate the location of the button 300, so that the user can identify and operate the button 300 to open the door 1100, resulting in a better user experience.

[0096] Secondly, in this embodiment, the light emission direction of the first light source 400 of the door handle assembly 2000 is different from that of the second light source 500, so that the first light source 400 and the second light source 500 can be used to indicate the operation end 11 and the button 300 of the handle part 10 respectively, so that the user can clearly identify the two different ways of opening the door 1100, reduce the user's learning cost, and improve the user experience.

[0097] Figure 7 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the electrical connections of vehicle 1000.

[0098] like Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle 1000 may further include a first control module 610 and a second control module 620. The first control module 610 may be electrically connected to the first light source 400. The first control module 610 may be used to control the emission of light from the first light source 400. The second control module 620 may be electrically connected to the door lock and the switch 330 of the button 300. The second control module 620 may be used to control the door lock. Exemplarily, the first control module 610 may be a cockpit control module. The second control module 620 may be a vehicle information unit (VIU) module. In some embodiments, the first control module 610 may also be electrically connected to the second light source 500. The first control module 610 may also be used to control the emission of light from the second light source 500.

[0099] For example, the first control module 610 may include a first controller 611 and a second controller 612. The first controller 611 may be electrically connected to the first light source 400. The second controller 612 may be electrically connected to the second light source 500.

[0100] For example, the vehicle 1000 may also include a first power source 710 and a second power source 720. The first power source 710 may be electrically connected to the first light source 400. The second power source 720 may be electrically connected to the door lock.

[0101] For example, the first power supply 710 can be a redundant power supply or a power supply device. The power supply device may include a battery, supercapacitor, or similar components. In some embodiments, the power supply device may be built into the door 1100 and electrically connected to the first light source 400. For example, the second power supply 720 can be a low-voltage DC system power supply in the vehicle's electrical system. In this way, the power supply device built into the door 1100 can supply power to the first light source 400, thereby ensuring that the first light source 400 can continue to operate normally even when the vehicle 1000 is powered off.

[0102] It is understood that the vehicle 1000 in this embodiment may include a first control module 610 and a second control module 620, which are electrically connected to the first light source 400 and the door lock, respectively. In this way, the control of the first light source 400 and the door lock is independent, thereby reducing the risk of failure when a single control module controls the first light source 400 and the door lock at the same time, and ensuring the normal operation of the first light source 400 and the door lock.

[0103] Secondly, in this embodiment, the first control module 610 of the vehicle 1000 can also be electrically connected to the second light source 500. The first control module 610 may include a first controller 611 and a second controller 612. The first controller 611 and the second controller 612 can also be electrically connected to the first light source 400 and the second light source 500, respectively. In this way, the first light source 400 and the second light source 500 can be independently controlled by the first controller 611 and the second controller 612, thereby reducing the risk of failure when a single controller simultaneously controls both the first light source 400 and the second light source 500, and ensuring the normal operation of both the first light source 400 and the second light source 500.

[0104] Furthermore, the vehicle 1000 in this embodiment may include a first power supply 710 and a second power supply 720, which can be electrically connected to the first light source 400 and the door lock, respectively. This ensures that the power supply to the first light source 400 and the door lock is independent, thus avoiding the risk of failure when a single power supply simultaneously powers both. Simultaneously, the first power supply 710 includes redundant power supplies and power supply components, enabling it to continue supplying power to the first light source 400 even after a power outage in the vehicle 1000. This ensures the normal operation of the first light source 400, allowing the user to still recognize the handle 10 through the first light source 400 and open the door 1100 even in an emergency power outage, thus ensuring user safety.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second power supply 720 can also be electrically connected to the first light source 400. Thus, when the vehicle 1000 is in normal operating condition, the second power supply 720 can supply power to the first light source 400. When the vehicle 1000 is in an emergency and the second power supply 720 loses power, the first power supply 710 can supply power to the first light source 400. By simultaneously connecting the first light source 400 to both the first power supply 710 and the second power supply 720, the first light source 400 can be powered by the second power supply 720 when the vehicle 1000 is in normal operating condition. This effectively extends the lifespan of the first power supply 710 and ensures that the first light source 400 can still be powered by the first power supply 710 when the vehicle 1000 is in an emergency and the second power supply 720 loses power, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the first light source 400 and improving the user experience.

[0106] In some implementations, the door handle assembly 2000 may also exclude the second light source 500.

[0107] In some embodiments, the base 200 may be provided with mounting holes. The door handle assembly 2000 may also include electrical connectors. The electrical connectors may pass through the mounting holes and may be used to electrically connect devices such as the first light source 400, the second light source 500, and the button 300 to a power supply and / or control module.

[0108] Figure 8 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of a portion of the structure of the door 1100 in another embodiment.

[0109] like Figure 8 As shown, the structure of the door handle assembly 2000 in this embodiment is similar to... Figure 2 The structure of the door handle assembly 2000 shown is largely the same, and the similar parts will not be described again. Some differences between the two are described below. For example, the connecting portion 20 of the handle can be crank-shaped. The end of the connecting portion 20 of the handle away from the handle portion 10 can be rotatably connected to the base 200. The first light source 400 can be fixedly connected to the surface of the button 300 facing the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10. The first light source 400 can emit light towards the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10.

[0110] Figure 9 yes Figure 8 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another embodiment of the structure.

[0111] like Figure 9 As shown, the structure of the door handle assembly 2000 in this embodiment is similar to... Figure 8 The structure of the door handle assembly 2000 shown is largely the same, and the similar parts will not be described again. The following describes some differences between the two. For example, the button base 310 of the button 300 may have a first light-transmitting portion 340 on the side facing the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10. A first light source 400 may be disposed inside the button base 310 and opposite to the first light-transmitting portion 340. Light emitted from the first light source 400 can pass through the first light-transmitting portion 340 and be directed towards the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first light source 400 may also emit light toward the outer surface 301 of the button 300. In this case, the first light source 400 can be used simultaneously to indicate the button 300 and the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first light source 400 may also be disposed within the first light-transmitting portion 340.

[0114] Figure 10 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of a portion of the structure of the door 1100 in another embodiment.

[0115] like Figure 10 As shown, the structure of the door handle assembly 2000 in this embodiment is similar to... Figure 8 The door handle assembly 2000 shown has a largely similar structure, and the identical parts will not be described again. Some differences between the two are described below. For example, button 300 can also be a toggle button. Button 300 may include a movable plate 350 and a connecting rod 360. The connecting rod 360 may be located on one side of the movable plate 350. One end of the connecting rod 360 may be fixedly connected to the movable plate 350, and the other end may be rotatably connected to the base 200. The surface of the movable plate 350 facing away from the connecting rod 360 may form the outer surface 301 of the button 300. For example, the connection portion 20 of the connecting rod 360 and the pull handle 100 can be rotatably connected to the base 200 via the same pivot.

[0116] For example, a user can open the door 1100 by lifting the movable plate 350 of the button 300 upward or pressing it downward, causing the linkage 360 ​​of the button 300 to rotate relative to the base 200.

[0117] For example, the base 200 may have a second light-transmitting portion 210. The second light-transmitting portion 210 may be exposed in the handle groove 30 and is disposed opposite to the handle portion 10. A first light source 400 may be disposed within the base 200. The first light source 400 may be located on the side of the second light-transmitting portion 210 away from the handle portion 10 and is disposed opposite to the second light-transmitting portion 210. In this way, by disposing of the first light source 400 within the base 200 and on the side of the second light-transmitting portion 210 away from the handle portion 10, the first light source 400 can be well concealed within the base 200 while still emitting light through the second light-transmitting portion 210 to indicate the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10. This ensures both aesthetic appeal and effective indication of the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10 by the first light source 400, reducing the difficulty of operation for the user.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first light source 400 may also be disposed within the second light-transmitting portion 210.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first light source 400 may also be disposed within the mounting space 1400 of the door 1100. The first light source 400 may be positioned directly opposite the second light-transmitting portion 210 of the base 200.

[0120] Figure 11 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional view of a portion of the structure of the door 1100 in another embodiment. Figure 12 yes Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another embodiment of the structure.

[0121] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the structure of the door handle assembly 2000 in this embodiment is similar to... Figure 2 The door handle assembly 2000 shown has a largely the same structure, and the similar parts will not be described again. Some differences between the two are described below. For example, the handle portion 10 and the connecting portion 20 of the pull handle 100 can be arranged side-by-side. The connecting end 12 of the handle portion 10 can be fixedly connected to the connecting portion 20. The operating end 11 of the handle portion 10 can be located on the side of the handle portion 10 facing away from the connecting portion 20.

[0122] For example, the handle portion 10 may have a first surface 13. The connecting portion 20 may have a second surface 21. The first surface 13 and the second surface 21 may have the same orientation. The first surface 13 may be flush with the second surface 21. The first surface 13 and the second surface 21 may together form the outer surface of the handle 100.

[0123] Exemplarily, the handle 100 can be mounted on the base 200. A handle groove 30 can be formed between the handle portion 10 of the handle 100 and the base 200. An operating space 40 can be formed between the operating end 11 of the handle portion 10 and the groove sidewall 32 of the handle groove 30, pointing from the connecting end 12 to the operating end 11. The side of the connecting portion 20 of the handle 100 away from the operating end 11 can be movably connected to the base 200. Exemplarily, the side of the connecting portion 20 away from the operating end 11 can be rotatably connected to the base 200.

[0124] For example, the connecting portion 20 may have a mounting groove 22. The opening of the mounting groove 22 may be formed on the second surface 21. The button 300 may be mounted in the mounting groove 22 of the connecting portion 20.

[0125] When the user operates the handle 10, the button 300 can move relative to the base 200 along with the pull handle 100. When the user operates the button 300, the handle 10 can remain stationary.

[0126] For example, the first light source 400 may be located within the handle groove 30. The first light source 400 may be fixedly connected to the surface of the handle portion 10 facing the handle groove 30.

[0127] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and any combination of features in different embodiments is also within the protection scope of this application. That is to say, the multiple embodiments described above can also be arbitrarily combined according to actual needs.

[0128] It should be noted that all the above figures are exemplary illustrations of this application and do not represent the actual size of the product. Furthermore, the dimensional proportions between the components in the figures are not intended to limit the actual product of this application.

[0129] The above are merely some embodiments of this application, and the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
