Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle door handle technology, specifically an emergency flip-up handle that provides ample hand grip space. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, concealed door handles are becoming increasingly popular due to considerations of reducing drag coefficient and improving aesthetics. Traditional mechanical door handles allow users to quickly open the door in emergencies using intuitive operation. Concealed door handles, however, often use electric control to pop out to achieve this concealment. When a vehicle experiences an emergency such as electronic system failure, power outage, or system paralysis due to a collision, the electric opening function fails, necessitating the use of an emergency opening device. However, to maintain a clean and aesthetically pleasing overall design, these emergency opening methods need to be highly concealed. One such method is the flip-up handle, which unlocks the door by pulling the handle body upwards. To achieve an attractive appearance, the handle is designed to be relatively flat and compact, with only the main body recessed to create space for the user's fingers. This directly results in the user's fingers not being able to fully encircle the handle when urgently needing to open the door, leading to a poor grip and requiring extra force to adjust posture. This is especially problematic for women with long nails, making it difficult to grip the handle and providing a poor user experience, and also hindering its use in emergencies. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem that existing concealed door handles are inconvenient for emergency opening, this utility model provides an emergency flip-up handle that provides ample hand grip space. When in use, it provides sufficient space for fingers to insert, thus providing enough hand grip area to pull the car door open.

[0004] The technical solution is as follows: an emergency flip-up handle that provides ample hand grip space, comprising: a base for connecting to the vehicle body;

[0005] The handle body is rotatably connected to the base, and the bottom of the handle body is provided with a cavity into which the user's fingers can be inserted;

[0006] The feature is that: the base is provided with a second cavity, the first cavity passes through the handle body and communicates with the second cavity, and the second cavity allows the user's fingers to pass through the first cavity and then extend into the second cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, when the handle body is not pulled, a sealing ring is provided between the handle body and the base, and the sealing ring is arranged around the bottom edge of the cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the handle body also includes connecting arms on both sides, which are connected to the base via a mounting structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting arm extends upward and connects to the mounting structure located above the second cavity, which is situated between the connecting arms on both sides.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting structure includes a pin and an elastic reset element. The connecting arm is rotatably connected to the pin, and the elastic reset element is disposed between the connecting arm and the base. The elastic reset element is used to generate elastic deformation when the handle body is pulled.

[0011] Furthermore, an anti-accidental opening structure is provided between the handle body and the base, which is used to keep the relative positions of the handle body and the base locked.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-accidental opening structure includes a first protrusion on the base and a second protrusion on the handle body. When the handle body is pulled, the second protrusion moves together with the direction of movement of the handle body. The first protrusion is located on the movement path of the second protrusion, and when the handle body is subjected to sufficient force, the second protrusion can pass over the first protrusion.

[0013] Furthermore, when the handle body is closed, the second protrusion can pass over the first protrusion and keep the relative position of the handle body and the base locked.

[0014] Beneficial effects: By adding a second cavity to the base, which allows the user's fingers to reach in, in addition to the original first cavity, the user can extend their hand sufficiently to ensure adequate gripping area when opening the car door, especially in emergencies. Furthermore, this design optimizes the mounting structure between the handle body and the base to accommodate the second cavity, resulting in a more rational layout. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 6 A schematic diagram to prevent accidental opening. Detailed Implementation

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 The illustration shows an emergency flip-up handle that provides ample hand grip space. It includes: a base 1 for fixed connection to the vehicle body (door); a handle body 2 rotatably connected to the base 1, with a cavity 200 at the bottom of the handle body 2 allowing the user's fingers to extend into it. In an emergency, the user can unlock the door by pulling the handle body 2 upwards. A second cavity 100 is located within the base 1, with the first cavity 200 penetrating the handle body 2 and communicating with the second cavity 100. The second cavity 100 allows the user's fingers to pass through the first cavity 200 and then into the second cavity 100. By adding the second cavity 100, which communicates with the first cavity 200, the extension distance can be doubled from 20mm to 40mm, providing sufficient hand grip area to pull open the car door, thus facilitating user operation in emergency situations. Meanwhile, since cavity 200 is used to connect cavity 100, in order to ensure the airtightness of the handle during normal use (non-emergency situations) and prevent gas from entering the gap between the handle body 2 and the base 1 through cavity 200, combined with Figure 5 When the handle body 2 is not pulled (pulled means that the handle body 2 does not rotate relative to the base 1), a sealing ring 101 is provided between the handle body 2 and the base 1. The sealing ring 101 is arranged around the bottom edge of the cavity 100. The sealing ring 101 can be set on the base 1 by secondary injection molding.

[0022] The specific connection relationship between the handle body 2 and the base 1 is described below: (Combination) Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the handle body 2 also includes connecting arms 201 on both sides, which are connected to the base via a mounting structure. Preferably, the connecting arms 201 extend upward and connect to the mounting structure located above the cavity 100, with the cavity 100 located between the connecting arms 201 on both sides. This arrangement avoids the need for a new cavity 100.

[0023] More specifically, the mounting structure may include a pin 3 and an elastic reset element 4. The connecting arm 201 is rotatably connected to the pin 3. An elastic reset element is provided between the connecting arm 201 and the base 1. The elastic reset element 4 is used to generate elastic deformation when the handle body 2 is pulled. Preferably, the elastic reset element 4 can be a torsion spring. One end of the torsion spring contacts the connecting arm 201 and the other end contacts the base 1. When the handle body 2 is pulled and the connecting arm 201 is rotated relative to the base, the torsion spring will undergo elastic deformation so that the handle body 2 will automatically reset under elastic force after the handle body 2 is released.

[0024] Since this solution is applied to the emergency opening of concealed door handles, the car door can normally be unlocked electrically. Only in emergencies is it necessary to pull the handle body 2 to unlock. To prevent accidental opening, combined with... Figure 3 , Figure 5 This solution also includes an anti-accidental opening structure A, which is located between the handle body 2 and the base 1. The anti-accidental opening structure A is used to keep the relative positions of the handle body 2 and the base 1 locked.

[0025] Specifically, the anti-accidental opening structure A includes a first protrusion 102 located on the base 1 and a second protrusion 202 located on the handle body 2. The second protrusion 202 is preferably located on the connecting arm 201 near the base 1. When the handle body 2 is pulled, the second protrusion 202 moves together with the direction of movement of the handle body 2. The first protrusion 102 is located on the movement path of the second protrusion 202 and blocks the second protrusion 202, thereby preventing the handle body 2 from being pulled. When the handle body 2 is subjected to sufficient force, the elastic deformation generated by the second protrusion 202, for example, made of plastic, is used to overcome the first protrusion 102 to unlock the door. In this way, the handle body 2 can be pulled to unlock the door. Specifically, this can be achieved by making the direct contact surface of the two protrusions be inclined or by reducing the hardness of the second protrusion 202 and the connecting arm 201 to generate deformation.

[0026] Furthermore, when the handle body is closed, protrusion 202 can deform under force, passing over protrusion 201 and locking the relative position of the handle body 2 and the base 1. This means that protrusion 202 resets to lock the relative position of the handle body 2 and the base 1 again. Since this tends to allow protrusion 202 to reset (i.e., it is not necessary to prevent protrusion 202 from resetting), combined with... Figure 6Preferably, during reset, the second protrusion 202 contacts the first protrusion 102 via a slope, and the slope is relatively inclined. Specifically, taking the forward and upward rotation of the handle body 2 when it is pulled as a directional reference, the slope a at the front end of the first protrusion 102 slopes and extends from front to back toward the connecting arm 201, and the slope b at the rear end of the second protrusion 202 slopes and extends from front to back toward the base 1. In this way, during reset, the slopes where the first protrusion 102 and the second protrusion 202 contact can cause the connection of the second protrusion 202 to deform away from the base 1 and thus bypass the first protrusion 102, thereby facilitating reset.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
