Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior accessories technology, and in particular to headliner handles. Background Technology

[0002] Concealed headliner handles retract into the car headliner when in their natural state, obscuring the view. Existing concealed headliner handles, such as the one disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent CN218112444U, are fixed to the car headliner with screws. To facilitate screwing during installation, the adapter rod needs a large rotation angle, increasing the outward extension of the handle body. While this design provides sufficient space for screwdrivers, the excessive outward extension of the handle body becomes a drawback during use, causing the handle to wobble and resulting in poor comfort. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a concealed ceiling handle to address the above problems. It allows for easy insertion of screwdrivers during installation and enables control of the handle's extension range after installation.

[0004] The technical solution used by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: a concealed ceiling handle, including a base, a handle body, and mounting screws. Both ends of the handle body are provided with adapters. The base has a storage groove for accommodating the adapters. The adapter includes an adapter rod. One end of the adapter rod is rotatably connected to the storage groove via a first rotating shaft. The other end of the adapter rod is rotatably connected to a receiving rod, which is connected to the handle body. The bottom of the storage groove has a mounting hole. A rotation limiting member is provided in the storage groove to restrict the rotation of the adapter rod. When the mounting screw is not screwed into the mounting hole, the rotation limiting member does not restrict the rotation of the adapter rod. When the mounting screw is screwed into the mounting hole, the rotation limiting member restricts the rotation angle of the adapter rod in a first direction.

[0005] This utility model relates to a concealed roof handle. The base is fixed to the car roof using mounting screws. When the mounting screws are not tightened, the adapter rod is not restricted by the rotation mechanism. Pulling the handle body allows the adapter rod to rotate, providing space for a screwdriver to tighten the mounting screws. When the mounting screws are not tightened, the adapter rod's rotation angle is limited by the rotation mechanism. This limited rotation angle prevents the handle body from being pulled out excessively. Compared to existing technologies, this structure offers the advantage of ensuring the mounting screws can be tightened smoothly while maintaining a stable handle body during use, thus improving user comfort.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting component includes a V-shaped spring, one end of which has a mounting groove. The mounting screw passes through the mounting groove and is screwed into the mounting hole. The other end of the V-shaped spring has a pin. Symmetrical guide grooves are provided on both sides of the receiving groove, extending vertically. The two ends of the pin are slidably connected in the two guide grooves respectively. One end of the adapter rod has a limiting hook. When the pin is located at the upper part of the guide groove, it is on the rotation path of the limiting hook. With this configuration, after the mounting screw is tightened, the end of the V-shaped spring with the pin tilts upward, and the pin is located at the upper part of the guide groove. The upward movement of the pin is restricted by the upper end of the guide groove. After the adapter rod rotates, the limiting hook encounters the pin, thus restricting the rotation of the adapter rod and limiting the pulling range of the handle body 2.

[0007] Preferably, the storage slot has two vertically arranged limiting holes on one end of its wall. The V-shaped spring clip is engaged with the limiting holes near the mounting slot, which facilitates the fixing of the V-shaped spring clip.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the storage slot is provided with a boss, and the middle part of the V-shaped spring rests against the boss. The boss acts as a fulcrum, and after the mounting screw is tightened, the pin end of the V-shaped spring is raised, so that the pin is located in the upper part of the guide groove.

[0009] Preferably, the V-shaped spring has fixing plates protruding from both sides of its middle section, and the receiving groove has a slot that engages with the fixing plates. This design better secures the V-shaped spring and prevents it from shifting. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a concealed ceiling handle includes a base 1, a handle body 2, and mounting screws 4. Adapters 3 are provided at both ends of the handle body 2. The base 1 has a storage groove 10 for accommodating the adapters 3. The adapter 3 includes an adapter rod 31. One end of the adapter rod 31 is rotatably connected to the storage groove 10 via a first rotating shaft 32. The other end of the adapter rod 31 is rotatably connected to a receiving rod 33. The receiving rod 33 and the adapter rod 31 are rotatably connected via a second rotating shaft 34. The receiving rod 33 is connected to the handle body 2. The bottom of the storage groove 10 has a mounting hole 101. A rotation limiting member is provided in the storage groove 10 to restrict the rotation of the adapter rod 31. When the mounting screws 4 are not screwed into the mounting hole 101, the rotation limiting member does not restrict the rotation of the adapter rod 31. When the mounting screws 4 are screwed into the mounting hole 101, the rotation limiting member restricts the rotation angle of the adapter rod 31 in a first direction. The greater the angle between the adapter rod 31 and the bottom of the storage slot 10 after rotation, the greater the pull of the handle body 2. The other structures of the adapter 3 and the handle body 2 can adopt the structure of the adapter and handle body in the existing technology CN218112444U.

[0025] The limiting component includes a V-shaped spring 5. One end of the V-shaped spring 5 is provided with a mounting groove 51. The mounting screw 4 passes through the mounting groove 51 and is screwed into the mounting hole 101. The other end of the V-shaped spring 5 is provided with a pin 52. Symmetrical guide grooves 102 are provided on both sides of the storage groove 10. The guide grooves 102 extend vertically and the lower end of the guide grooves 102 is flush with the bottom of the storage groove 10. The two ends of the pin 52 are slidably connected in the two guide grooves 102 respectively. One end of the adapter rod 31 is provided with a limiting hook 311. When the pin 52 is located in the upper part of the guide groove 102, it is on the rotation path of the limiting hook 311. After the mounting screw 4 is tightened, one end of the V-shaped spring piece 5 with the pin 52 is tilted upward. The pin 52 is located on the upper part of the guide groove 102. The upward movement of the pin 52 is restricted by the upper end of the guide groove 102. After the adapter rod 31 rotates, the limit hook 311 encounters the pin 52 and is obstructed. The rotation of the adapter rod 31 is restricted, and the range of the handle body 2 is limited.

[0026] The storage slot 10 has two vertically arranged limiting holes 103 on one end of its wall. The V-shaped spring piece 5 is engaged with the limiting hole 103 near the mounting slot 51, which helps to fix the V-shaped spring piece 5.

[0027] The bottom of the storage slot 10 is provided with a boss 104, and the middle part of the V-shaped spring piece 5 rests on the boss 104. The boss 104 acts as a fulcrum. After the mounting screw 4 is tightened, one end of the pin 52 on the V-shaped spring piece 5 is raised, so that the pin 52 is located on the upper part of the guide slot 102.

[0028] The V-shaped spring piece 5 has two protruding fixing pieces 53 on its middle sides, and the storage groove 10 has a groove 105 on its groove wall that engages with the fixing pieces 53. This design better secures the V-shaped spring piece 5 and prevents it from shifting.

[0029] This utility model's concealed roof handle uses mounting screws 4 to fix the base 1 to the car roof. The state when the mounting screws 4 are not installed is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the mounting groove 51 is located at one end of the V-shaped spring piece 5, and one end of the V-shaped spring piece 5 is engaged with the upper limiting hole 103. The pin 52 is located at the other end of the V-shaped spring piece 5, and the pin 52 is located at the lower part of the guide groove 102. There is no obstruction on the rotation path of the limiting hook 311, and the adapter rod 31 is not restricted by the rotation of the rotating parts. The state after pulling the handle body 2 is as follows. Figure 4 As shown, after the adapter rod 31 rotates, it forms a large angle of approximately 90° with the bottom surface of the storage slot 10, creating a large space above the mounting screw 4, allowing a screwdriver to be inserted to tighten the mounting screw. After the mounting screw 4 is tightened, it appears as follows... Figure 5 As shown, after the mounting screw 4 is tightened and moved downwards, one end of the V-shaped spring piece 5 with the pin 52 tilts upwards, and the pin 52 is located at the upper part of the guide groove 102. Similar to existing handle structures, an elastic steel sheet is installed inside the handle body 2, and an elastic element is installed inside the adapter 3. After the handle body 2 is loosened, it can retract to the base 1, and the adapter 3 retracts into the storage groove 10. At this time, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the adapter rod 31 rotates downwards and encounters the pin 52, due to the elasticity of the V-shaped spring 5, the pin 52 slides to the lower part of the guide groove 102 under the action of the adapter rod 31. At the same time, the adapter rod 31 returns to its initial position without being obstructed by the pin 52. When using the handle, as... Figure 7 As shown, when the handle body 2 is pulled, the adapter rod 31 rotates to a certain angle. In this example, the adapter rod 31 forms a 30° angle with the bottom surface of the storage slot 10. The pin 52 is on the rotation path of the limit hook 311. The upward movement of the pin 52 is restricted by the guide slot 102, thus preventing the adapter rod 31 from continuing to rotate. After the rotation angle of the adapter rod 31 is restricted, the pull-out range of the handle body 2 is limited, preventing it from being pulled out excessively. The handle body is less likely to wobble during use, improving user comfort.
