Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and more specifically to an upward-pulling exterior door handle. Background Technology
[0002] Exterior door handles, as an important component of automobiles, are the direct operating parts for drivers and passengers to open and close the doors. Existing exterior door handles have several problems in practical use: in cold weather, ice easily forms between the handle and the mounting base, preventing the handle from opening and closing properly, and the keyhole may also be covered by ice, affecting normal user operation. Furthermore, existing handles are usually directly fixed to the door with screws, making them difficult to remove after deformation following a collision, hindering emergency rescue; electronic unlocking functions rely on independent sensors, resulting in a complex structure and a high failure rate.
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this application proposes a snap-on handle covered with an elastic softening layer. The handle utilizes a freeze-resistant elastic material and a peelable design for rapid ice removal, and is combined with a push rod linked to an electronic signal device to simplify the unlocking process. Furthermore, the modular installation structure supports rapid disassembly, ensuring emergency handling capabilities in extreme situations. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides an upward-pulling exterior door handle to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an upward-pulling exterior door handle. The handle has a fixed platform rotatably connected to its upper part via an elastic component, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the handle. The fixed platform has a keyhole and a notch at its edge. The outer surfaces of the handle and the fixed platform are covered with a softening layer, which is fixedly connected to the handle. The softening layer has protrusions that are snapped together with the notch at the edge of the fixed platform.
[0006] Preferably, the softening layer is made of an elastic material that can stretch to cover the gap between the handle and the fixed platform.
[0007] Preferably, the handle is an arched shape with a curvature.
[0008] Preferably, a nut plate is fixedly connected to the fixing platform, and the nut plate is provided with multiple through holes.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the nut plate has a notch, and the other end has a stabilizing rod, which fixes the fixing platform laterally to the vehicle body.
[0010] Preferably, when the handle is pulled, the push rod is activated in conjunction to abut against the vehicle's internal signal device outside the vehicle.
[0011] Preferably, a detachable cover plate is provided above the nut plate, which serves a decorative purpose.
[0012] Preferably, the elastic component is disposed on the contact surface between the handle and the fixed platform. The handle is provided with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is provided with a return spring. The fixed platform is provided with a corresponding notch, and the rotating shaft movably connects the handle and the fixed platform through the notch.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0014] The softening layer is made of elastic material. Even in extreme weather conditions such as freezing temperatures, its elastic deformation capacity ensures that both the handle and the mounting plate can open and close normally. At the same time, the elastic material has a large contact area with the ice and low friction, allowing for quick removal of the ice. The snap-fit design ensures that the softening layer fits tightly against the mounting plate, preventing the keyhole from being blocked by ice and ensuring normal key insertion and removal.
[0015] In case of emergencies such as car accidents, the trim cover can be lifted to quickly remove the nut plate and then the mounting bracket. There is a gap between the push rod at the front of the handle and the signal device inside the vehicle, allowing rescuers to use tools to reach through this gap to activate the signal device and manually open the door, buying time for emergency rescue.
[0016] The overall arched design of the handle conforms to the curve of the human hand, which is in line with ergonomic principles and can effectively reduce hand fatigue and improve grip comfort when opening the car door.
[0017] The stabilizing bar on the nut plate is horizontally fixed to the vehicle body, enhancing the stability of the mounting platform and preventing the handle from loosening during use; the removable cover plate not only protects the internal structure such as the nut plate, but also allows for personalized decoration according to the vehicle's appearance requirements, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0027] Please see the appendix Figure 1-2 This utility model discloses a pull-up exterior door handle, comprising: a handle 2, a fixed platform 3 rotatably connected above the handle 2 via an elastic component, and a push rod 4 fixedly connected to the front end of the handle 2; the fixed platform 3 is provided with a keyhole 6 and a notch 8 on its edge; the outer surfaces of the handle 2 and the fixed platform 3 are covered with a softening layer 1, the softening layer 1 is fixedly connected to the handle 2, and the softening layer 1 is provided with protrusions, which are snapped together with the notch on the edge of the fixed platform 3.
[0028] The mounting base 3 has a keyhole 6 for inserting a key to unlock the car door. The edge notch 8 engages with the protrusion of the softening layer 1. During installation, the protrusion on the softening layer 1 is aligned with the notch and pressed to achieve a snap-fit connection, so that the softening layer 1 tightly covers the outer surface of the handle 2 and the mounting base 3. The snap-fit of the softening layer 1 prevents ice from entering the keyhole 6.
[0029] To further optimize the above technical solution, the softening layer 1 is made of an elastic material that can extend to cover the gap between the handle 2 and the fixing platform 3.
[0030] The softening layer 1 is preferably made of silicone or thermoplastic elastomer, which extends to cover the gap between the handle and the fixing platform. The elastic material retains its flexibility at low temperatures, making it easy to peel off ice and preventing freezing. In extreme weather conditions, the elastic material of the softening layer 1 plays a crucial role; even if the surface is frozen, its elasticity ensures that the handle 2 can still rotate normally. Users can quickly remove the ice layer by applying simple external force, utilizing the properties of the elastic material and the ice layer, ensuring the normal use of the keyhole 6 and the handle 2.
[0031] To further optimize the above technical solution, the handle 2 is an arched shape with a curve.
[0032] Handle 2 is arched, with smooth transitions at both ends where it connects to the car door. The arched structure conforms to hand gripping habits and reduces operating fatigue.
[0033] To further optimize the above technical solution, a nut plate 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed platform 3, and the nut plate 5 is provided with multiple through holes.
[0034] Nut plate 5 is welded to mounting plate 3. The through hole is aligned with the pre-installed bolt of the car door. The bolt passes through the through hole to fix mounting plate 3 to the car door, improving installation stability.
[0035] To further optimize the above technical solution, one end of the nut plate 5 is notched and the other end is a stabilizing rod 7, which fixes the fixing platform 3 laterally to the vehicle body.
[0036] The nut plate 5 has a notch at one end to fit the curved surface of the door, and the other end extends into the stabilizing rod 7 which is inserted into the vehicle frame. The stabilizing rod 7 disperses the lateral stress and prevents the handle 2 from deforming under force.
[0037] To further optimize the above technical solution, the extension end of the push rod 4 corresponds to the position of the external vehicle interior signal device. When the user pulls the handle 2, the handle 2 deflects, thereby driving the front end of the push rod 4 to move inward, and the push rod 4 abuts against the external vehicle interior signal device.
[0038] To further optimize the above technical solution, a detachable cover plate is also provided above the nut plate 5, which serves a decorative purpose.
[0039] To further optimize the above technical solution, the elastic component is provided on the contact surface between the handle 2 and the fixed platform 3. The handle 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 9, and the rotating shaft 9 is provided with a return spring 10. The fixed platform 3 is provided with a corresponding notch, and the rotating shaft 9 movably connects the handle 2 and the fixed platform 3 through the notch.
[0040] The handle 2 and the fixed platform 3 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 9 and a return spring 10. The rotating shaft 9 is embedded in the notch of the fixed platform 3, and the return spring 10 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 9, so that the handle 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft 9 to achieve the pull action. The front end of the handle 2 is fixedly connected to the push rod 4 to ensure that when the handle 2 is pulled, the push rod 4 can accurately trigger the in-vehicle signal device. After the control unit receives the signal, it controls the door to unlock, and the user can open the car door. After use, the handle is released, the return spring 10 is reset, and the handle 2 returns to its original position.
[0041] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.
[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
