Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle handlebar technology, and more particularly to a handlebar assembly and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] With improvements in car structure, concealed door handles have emerged. These handles retract into the door when not in use, making them difficult to see. Some concealed door handles use a button to open; the door opens when the user presses the button. However, during button use, problems such as jamming can easily occur due to uneven gaps between the button and the handle. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, this application provides a handle assembly that can prevent button caps from getting stuck during movement, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0005] This application provides a handle assembly for a vehicle door, comprising a handle cover and a button cap. The handle cover has a through hole, which is disposed opposite to the button body. The button cap is movably disposed within the through hole along the thickness direction of the handle cover. The two end faces of the handle cover along the thickness direction are a first end face and a second end face, respectively. The first end face is disposed on the side of the second end face closer to the button body. The end of the through hole closer to the first end face has a first guide slope, which is inclined away from the through hole along the direction from the first end face to the second end face.

[0006] The handle assembly provided in this application embodiment has a through hole on the handle cover opposite to the button body. The button cap is movably disposed in the through hole along the thickness direction of the handle cover. A first guide slope is provided at one end of the through hole near the first end face. Along the direction from the first end face to the second end face, the first guide slope is inclined in the direction away from the through hole. This ensures that after the handle assembly is assembled, the button cap is centered under the guidance of the first guide slope. There is always a certain gap between the button cap and the peripheral wall of the through hole, which avoids the button cap from getting stuck during movement and optimizes the user experience.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of limiting protrusions are provided on the first end face, and the first guide slope is provided at one end of the limiting protrusion near the through hole.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, a second guide slope is provided at the position where the button cap mates with the first guide slope. Along the direction from the first end face to the second end face, the second guide slope is inclined in a direction away from the through hole, and the second guide slope abuts against the first guide slope.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, at least a portion of the button cap abuts against the button body. The button cap has a pressed state and a returned state. The button cap includes a cap body and a limiting portion. The cap body is movably disposed within the through hole along the thickness direction of the handle cover for switching between the pressed state and the returned state. The cap body abuts against the button body. The limiting portion is disposed on the side of the first end face near the button body and connected to the outer peripheral wall of the cap body. The limiting portion abuts against the first end face in the returned state.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the cap body is provided with a limiting rib, and the end face of the limiting rib near the button body always abuts against the button body.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting portion is provided with a plurality of first protrusions, which are located at both ends of the limiting portion in the length direction. The first protrusions extend along the direction from the second end face to the first end face. The first protrusions are configured to abut against the button body when the button cap is in the pressed state, and to be spaced apart from the button body when the button cap is in the returned state.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting portion is provided with a plurality of second protrusions, the second protrusions extending in a direction away from the handle cover. Along the thickness direction of the handle cover, when the button cap is in the returned state, the distance between the first protrusion and the button body is less than the distance between the second protrusion and the button body. The second protrusion is configured such that it is still spaced apart from the button body when the first protrusion abuts against the button body.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, a limiting member is provided on the first end face, the limiting member is arranged around the through hole, and the outer peripheral wall of the button cap abuts against the end face of the limiting member near the through hole.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral wall of the button cap is provided with a notch, and at least a portion of the limiting member is disposed within the notch and abuts against the peripheral wall of the notch.

[0015] This application also proposes a vehicle that includes the aforementioned handle assembly.

[0016] This application also proposes a vehicle in which a through hole is provided on the handle cover opposite to the button body, and the button cap is movably disposed in the through hole along the thickness direction of the handle cover. A first guide slope is provided at one end of the through hole near the first end face. Along the direction from the first end face to the second end face, the first guide slope is inclined in the direction away from the through hole, so that after the handle assembly is assembled, the button cap is centered under the guidance of the first guide slope. There is always a certain gap between the button cap and the peripheral wall of the through hole, so as to avoid the button cap getting stuck during the movement and optimize the user experience.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0039] 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. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0040] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" are defined relative to the orientation of the components shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the orientation of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0044] This application provides a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to a large vehicle, a small vehicle, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. Vehicles generally have doors with handles for opening them, facilitating user entry and exit.

[0045] The handle assembly provided in this application is mainly used in vehicles that use concealed door handles.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 This application also provides a handle assembly 100, including a handle cover 1 and a button cap 2.

[0047] Specifically, the handle assembly 100 is used in the door of a vehicle, and the door has a receiving space for mounting the handle assembly 100.

[0048] To better illustrate the handle assembly 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The handle cover 1 has a through hole 11, which is positioned opposite to the button body 3. The button body 3 is electrically connected to the vehicle controller. When the button body 3 is pressed, the controller receives the vehicle's door opening signal and opens the door.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 15 Button cap 2 is along the thickness direction of handle cover 1 (e.g.) Figure 1 The button cap 2 is movably disposed in the through hole 11 in the first direction shown. The button cap 2 is pressed against the button body 3 by moving along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1, thereby transmitting an opening signal to the controller electrically connected to the button body 3 to open the door.

[0050] Among them, reference Figure 1 The handle cover 1 has two ends in the thickness direction, namely the first end face 12 and the second end face 13. The first end face 12 is located on the side of the second end face 13 near the button body 3. The end of the through hole 11 near the first end face 12 is provided with a first guide slope 111. Along the direction from the first end face 12 to the second end face 13, the first guide slope 111 is inclined away from the through hole 11, so that after the handle assembly 100 is assembled, the button cap 2 is centered under the guidance of the first guide slope 111. There is always a certain gap between the button cap 2 and the peripheral wall of the through hole 11, so as to avoid the button cap 2 from getting stuck during the movement and optimize the user experience.

[0051] According to the handle assembly 100 of this application embodiment, a through hole 11 is provided on the handle cover 1 opposite to the button body 3. The button cap 2 is movably disposed in the through hole 11 along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1. A first guide slope 111 is provided at one end of the through hole 11 near the first end face 12. Along the direction from the first end face 12 to the second end face 13, the first guide slope 111 is inclined in a direction away from the through hole 11, so that after the handle assembly 100 is assembled, the button cap 2 is centered under the guidance of the first guide slope 111. There is always a certain gap between the button cap 2 and the peripheral wall of the through hole 11, so as to avoid the button cap 2 getting stuck during the movement and optimize the user experience.

[0052] In addition, in this embodiment, the material of the button body 3 is not limited, as long as it can pop up the button cap 2. For example, the material of the button body 3 can be PE (polyethylene), EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), etc.

[0053] In this embodiment, the handle assembly 100 also includes a handle body, which is disposed within the receiving space and defines the installation space. The handle cover 1 is disposed at the opening of the installation space, and the button body 3 is disposed within the installation space.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figures 8-10The first end face 12 is provided with multiple limiting protrusions 121, and a first guide slope 111 is provided at one end of the limiting protrusions 121 near the through hole 11. It can be understood that the second end face 13 serves as the appearance surface of the handle assembly 100, and the limiting protrusions 121 on the first end face 12 can hide the limiting protrusions 121, avoiding affecting the aesthetics of the handle assembly 100. At the same time, the limiting protrusions 121 are provided on the first end face 12 near the button body 3, which facilitates better guidance during both the movement of the button cap 2 toward and away from the button body 3, ensuring the centering of the button cap 2.

[0055] In addition, multiple limiting bosses can provide guidance for the button cap 2 at multiple points in the circumferential direction of the through hole 11, increasing the reliability of the movement of the button cap 2.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 14 A second guide slope 211 is provided at the position where the button cap 2 mates with the first guide slope 111. Along the direction from the first end face 12 to the second end face 13, the second guide slope 211 is inclined away from the through hole 11. The second guide slope 211 abuts against the first guide slope 111. The cooperation of the first guide slope 111 and the second guide slope 211 can further limit the button cap 2. There is always a certain gap between the button cap 2 and the peripheral wall of the through hole 11 to avoid the button cap 2 getting stuck during movement and optimize the user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 16 At least a portion of the button cap 2 abuts against the button body 3. The button cap 2 has a pressed state and a returned state. In the pressed state, the button body 3 sends an opening signal to the controller, and the door opens. After the force applied by the user to the button cap 2 ends, the button cap 2 bounces back under the rebound action of the button body 3 and returns to the returned state.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 The button cap 2 includes a cap body 21 and a limiting part 22. The cap body 21 is movably disposed in the through hole 11 along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1, and is used to switch between a pressed state and a returned state. The cap body 21 is used to abut against the button body 3. The limiting part 22 is disposed on the side of the first end face 12 near the button body 3 and is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the cap body 21. The limiting part 22 abuts against the first end face 12 in the returned state, and can limit the button cap 2 when it moves along the direction from the first end face 12 to the second end face 13, preventing the button cap 2 from detaching from the handle cover 1 through hole 11, and increasing the reliability of the position of the button cap 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4The second guide slope 211 is provided at the connection position between the limiting part 22 and the cap body 21. While realizing guidance, it can optimize the connection position between the cap body 21 and the limiting part 22, and avoid the limiting part 22 and the cap body 21 from breaking when subjected to impact.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 The cap body 21 is provided with a limiting rib 212. The end face of the limiting rib 212 near the button body 3 always abuts against the button body 3. It can be understood that other parts of the cap body 21 can be spaced apart from the button body 3. This can reduce the volume and weight of the cap body 21 while satisfying the effect of pressing the button body 3 of the button cap 2, thereby increasing the vehicle's lightweight and reducing the manufacturing cost of the button cap 2.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The limiting part 22 is provided with a plurality of first protrusions 221, which are located in the length direction of the limiting part 22 (e.g., Figure 1 At both ends of the second direction shown, the first protrusion 221 extends along the direction from the second end face 13 to the first end face 12. The first protrusion 221 is configured to abut against the button body 3 when the button cap 2 is in the pressed state, and to be spaced apart from the button body 3 when the button cap 2 is in the returned state. It can limit the button cap 2 when it is in the pressed state, and avoid damage to the button body 3 caused by excessive pressure of the button cap 2 on the button body 3.

[0062] At the same time, refer to Figure 11 The first protrusion 221 is provided at both ends of the length direction of the limiting part 22, which not only ensures that the pressing stroke of the button cap 2 is sufficient, but also ensures that when the button cap 2 is pressed at the edge position in the length direction, one end will not be particularly raised or the other end will be particularly collapsed, causing problems such as jamming or looseness, thereby increasing the reliability of the movement of the button cap 2 along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The limiting part 22 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions 222, which extend in a direction away from the handle cover 1 and along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1. When the button cap 2 is in the returned state, the distance between the first protrusion 221 and the button body 3 is smaller than the distance between the second protrusion 222 and the button body 3. The second protrusion 222 is constructed such that it is still spaced apart from the button body 3 when the first protrusion 221 abuts against the button body 3. The second protrusion 222 plays a secondary limiting role, that is, when the first protrusion 221 fails to limit due to breakage or other problems, it can limit the button cap 2 to avoid damage to the button body 3 caused by excessive pressure from the button cap 2.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 13 A limiting member 122 is provided on the first end face 12, which can be hidden to avoid affecting the aesthetics of the handle assembly 100. The limiting member 122 is arranged around the through hole 11, and the outer peripheral wall of the button cap 2 abuts against the end face of the limiting member 122 near the through hole 11. It can limit the movement of the button cap 2 along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1 on the outer periphery of the button cap 2, and prevent the button cap 2 from deviating during movement.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 13 The outer peripheral wall of the button cap 2 is provided with a notch 23. At least part of the limiting member 122 is provided in the notch 23 and abuts against the peripheral wall of the notch 23, which can further limit the movement of the button cap 2 along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1 and prevent the button cap 2 from deviating during the movement.

[0066] The vehicle according to an embodiment of this application includes the handle assembly 100 described above.

[0067] According to the vehicle of the present application embodiment, by providing a through hole 11 on the handle cover 1 opposite to the button body 3, the button cap 2 is movably disposed in the through hole 11 along the thickness direction of the handle cover 1, and a first guide slope 111 is provided at one end of the through hole 11 near the first end face 12. Along the direction from the first end face 12 to the second end face 13, the first guide slope 111 is inclined in a direction away from the through hole 11, so that after the handle assembly 100 is assembled, the button cap 2 is centered under the guidance of the first guide slope 111, and there is always a certain gap between the button cap 2 and the peripheral wall of the through hole 11, so as to avoid the button cap 2 getting stuck during the movement and optimize the user experience.

[0068] The sequence numbers of the embodiments in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
