[0014] In one possible implementation of this application, the lower end of the armrest has a notch on the side opposite to the frame to avoid the second decorative element.

[0015] In one possible implementation of this application, in a projection perpendicular to the width direction of the door body, the outer contour of the notch is an arc protruding away from the second decorative element.

[0016] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including the aforementioned door assembly.

[0017] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment, by setting the aforementioned door assembly, has an armrest located on the inner side of the door body and at least partially spaced from the door body. The armrest is rotatably connected to the door body, and the rotation axis of the armrest extends along the width direction of the door body. An ambient light is located on the armrest and is used to emit light onto the door body. As the armrest rotates, the illumination position and illumination area of ​​the ambient light on the door body can be changed, thereby changing the light projection area of ​​the ambient light on the door body. This satisfies the user's different needs for the ambient light illumination area and improves the user experience.

Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0043] The following is for reference. Figures 1-10 This application describes a door assembly 10 provided in an embodiment.

[0044] Firstly, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, this application embodiment provides a door assembly 10, including: a door body 1, an armrest 2, and an ambient light 3.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-5 The armrest 2 is located on the inner side of the door body 1 and is at least partially spaced apart from the door body 1. An ambient light 3 is located on the armrest 2 and is used to emit light towards the door body 1. The armrest 2 is rotatably connected to the door body 1 so that the light projection area of ​​the ambient light 3 on the door body 1 can be changed by rotation. It should be noted that, in this application, the rotation axis of the armrest 2 extends along the width direction of the door body 1.

[0046] Understandably, since the ambient light 3 is located on the armrest 2, its position changes as the armrest 2 rotates. Therefore, as the armrest 2 rotates, the position of the ambient light 3 on the door body 1 changes, satisfying different user needs regarding its illumination position and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the distance (minimum distance) between the ambient light 3 and the door body 1 also changes, altering the area illuminated by the ambient light 3 on the door body 1, thus satisfying different user needs regarding the illumination area and improving the user experience.

[0047] In summary, as the armrest 2 rotates, the position and area of ​​the ambient light 3 on the door body 1 can be changed, thereby altering the light projection area of ​​the ambient light 3 on the door body 1. This satisfies the user's different needs for the area illuminated by the ambient light 3 and enhances the user experience.

[0048] For example in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the example shown, as the armrest 2 rotates from the first position (s1) to the second position (s2), the position of the ambient light 3 continuously shifts upward, and at the same time, the distance between the ambient light 3 and the door body 1 continuously increases, thereby increasing the area of ​​the ambient light 3 illuminated on the door body 1.

[0049] The door assembly 10 provided in this application embodiment has an armrest 2 located on the inner side of the door body 1 and at least partially spaced apart from the door body 1. The armrest 2 is rotatably connected to the door body 1, and the rotation axis of the armrest 2 extends along the width direction of the door body 1. An ambient light 3 is located on the armrest 2 and is used to emit light onto the door body 1. As the armrest 2 rotates, the illumination position and illumination area of ​​the ambient light 3 on the door body 1 can be changed, thereby changing the light projection area of ​​the ambient light 3 on the door body 1, thus meeting the different needs of users for the illumination area of ​​the ambient light 3 and improving the user experience.

[0050] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the handrail 2 has a first position (s1) and a second position (s2). The handrail 2 rotates between the first position and the second position. The angle between the first position and the second position is less than or equal to 90°, such as 45°, 50°, 60° or 90°.

[0051] Understandably, by limiting the rotation angle of the armrest 2, excessive rotation of the armrest 2 is avoided, which prevents the ambient light 3 from failing to illuminate the door body 1 or the effective viewing position of the door body 1. This ensures that the ambient light 3 can illuminate the effective viewing position of the door body 1, thus meeting the user's lighting needs.

[0052] For example in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the example shown, when the armrest 2 is in the first position, if the armrest 2 continues to rotate towards the second position from the first position, the ambient light 3 will illuminate the lower side of the door body 1, preventing the user from seeing the lighting effect. Conversely, when the armrest 2 is in the second position, if the armrest 2 continues to rotate towards the first position from the second position, the ambient light 3 will not illuminate the door body 1, preventing the user from seeing the lighting effect.

[0053] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ambient light 3 is at a higher height in the second position than in the first position. The armrest 2 has a mounting surface 22, and the ambient light 3 is disposed on the mounting surface 22. In the first position, the mounting surface 22 is located on the side of the armrest 2 facing the door body 1 and is parallel to the inner side of the door body 1.

[0054] It is understandable that by positioning the mounting surface 22 in the first position on the side of the armrest 2 facing the door body 1 and parallel to the inner side of the door body 1, the light emitted by the ambient light 3 can better illuminate the effective viewing position of the door body 1, thus avoiding the ambient light 3 being positioned too low and causing the light to shine on the lower side of the door body 1, which would prevent the user from seeing the lighting effect.

[0055] The ambient light 3 is positioned higher in the second position than in the first position. This causes the area illuminated by the ambient light 3 on the door body 1 to gradually move upward as the armrest 2 rotates from the first position to the second position. This further prevents the ambient light 3 from being positioned too low, which would cause the light to illuminate the lower side of the door body 1, thus ensuring the lighting effect of the ambient light 3.

[0056] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the armrest 2 has an installation space 21, and part of the ambient light 3 is located in the installation space 21, while part is located outside the installation space 21.

[0057] Understandably, the ambient light 3 is partially housed within the installation space 21, allowing the armrest 2 to shield parts of the ambient light 3, such as the power cord, thus protecting the ambient light 3 and extending its lifespan. Meanwhile, the ambient light 3 is located outside the installation space 21, enabling it to emit light onto the door body 1, achieving an ambient lighting effect.

[0058] In this application, in the first position, the armrest 2 has an opening on the side facing the door body 1, and the opening is connected to the installation space 21. A portion of the ambient light 3 is located in the opening, so that a portion of the ambient light 3 is located outside the installation space 21, thereby allowing the ambient light 3 to emit light towards the door body 1 and achieve an ambient light effect.

[0059] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figures 6-10As shown, the door assembly 10 also includes a drive motor 4 and a hinge 5. The fixed part of the hinge 5 is connected to the door body 1, the drive motor 4 is mounted on the fixed part 51 of the hinge 5, the movable part 52 of the hinge 5 is connected to the armrest 2, and the drive motor 4 drives the movable part 52 of the hinge 5 to rotate.

[0060] It is understandable that the drive motor 4 is mounted on the fixed part 51 of the hinge 5, thereby fixing the drive motor 4 relative to the door body 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 4 drives the movable part 52 of the drive hinge 5 to rotate, thereby driving the armrest 2 to rotate, thus realizing the automatic rotation of the armrest 2 without the need for manual driving, further improving the user experience.

[0061] In addition, since the drive motor 4 is located on the fixed part 51 of the hinge 5, the fixed part 51 of the hinge 5 is connected to the door body 1, and the drive motor 4 is also fixed to the door body 1. This reduces the connection and installation operations between the drive motor 4 and the door body 1, making the installation convenient and quick.

[0062] In one possible implementation of this application, the door assembly 10 further includes a drive motor 4 and a hinge 5. The drive motor 4 is mounted on the door body 1, the fixed part of the hinge 5 is connected to the door body 1, the movable part 52 of the hinge 5 is connected to the armrest 2, and the drive motor 4 drives the movable part 52 of the hinge 5 to rotate.

[0063] Understandably, the output shaft of the drive motor 4 drives the moving part 52 of the drive hinge 5 to rotate, thereby driving the handrail 2 to rotate, thus realizing the automatic rotation of the handrail 2 without the need for manual driving, further improving the user experience.

[0064] In addition, since the drive motor 4 is independently mounted on the door body 1, the drive motor 4 and the hinge 5 can be disassembled and repaired separately from the door body 1.

[0065] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figures 6-10 As shown, there are multiple hinges 5 spaced apart along the width direction of the door body 1. The drive motor 4 is connected to the movable part 52 of one of the hinges 5. The door assembly 10 also includes a connecting rod 6, which extends along the width direction of the door body 1 and is connected to the movable parts 52 of the multiple hinges 5.

[0066] It should be noted that the lower side of the handrail 2 has a first connecting part 24, and the movable part 52 of the hinge 5 has a second connecting part 521 that cooperates with the first connecting part 24, thereby realizing the connection between the movable part 52 of the hinge 5 and the handrail 2.

[0067] Understandably, the multiple hinges 5 make the armrest 2 rotate more smoothly. The drive motor 4 is connected to the moving part 52 of one of the hinges 5, and through the armrest 2 and the connecting rod 6, it drives the moving parts 52 of the other hinges 5 to rotate, thus enabling the moving parts 52 of all hinges 5 to rotate. The connecting rod 6 allows the multiple hinges 5 to rotate more synchronously, thereby further improving the stability of the armrest 2 when rotating.

[0068] For example in Figure 1 In the example shown, there are two hinges 5, but this application is not limited to this. There can be more hinges 5, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6, etc.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figures 6-10 As shown, the connecting rod 6 is also connected to the handrail 2. Thus, when the connecting rod 6 rotates, it can also drive the handrail 2 to rotate, thereby avoiding the situation of uncoordinated rotation in the middle of the handrail 2 and making the handrail 2 rotate more smoothly. The handrail 2 has a third connecting part 25 on its lower side, and the connecting rod 6 has a fourth connecting part 61 that cooperates with the third connecting part 25, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting rod 6 and the handrail 2.

[0070] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the car door body 1 includes: a frame 11 and a first decorative piece 12 and a second decorative piece 13. The armrest 2 is rotatably mounted on the frame 11. The first decorative piece 12 and the second decorative piece 13 are both located on the inner side of the frame 11 and connected to the frame 11. The first decorative piece 12 is located above the second decorative piece 13 and is located on the side of the second decorative piece 13 facing the frame 11. The ambient light 3 is used to emit light to the first decorative piece 12. The armrest 2 is located above the second decorative piece 13 and is spaced apart from the second decorative piece 13.

[0071] Understandably, since the first decorative element 12 is positioned above the second decorative element 13, the ambient light 3 is used to emit light towards the first decorative element 12, allowing users to better see the lighting effect of the ambient light 3. The armrest 2 is positioned above and spaced apart from the second decorative element 13, thus preventing contact between the armrest 2 and the second decorative element 13, and preventing the second decorative element 13 from interfering with the rotation of the armrest 2, resulting in smoother rotation of the armrest 2.

[0072] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figures 4-5As shown, the lower end of the handrail 2 has a notch 23 on the side facing away from the frame 11 to avoid the second decorative piece 13. It should be noted that the notch 23 on the lower end of the handrail 2 facing away from the frame 11 refers to the notch 23 on the lower end of the handrail 2 facing away from the frame 11 when the handrail 2 is in its first position. This prevents the second decorative piece 13 from interfering with the rotation of the handrail 2, allowing the handrail 2 to rotate smoothly.

[0073] In one possible implementation of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figures 4-5 As shown, in the projection perpendicular to the width direction of the door body 1, the outer contour of the notch 23 is an arc protruding away from the second decorative element 13. This further enhances the function of the notch 23 in avoiding the second decorative element 13, further preventing the second decorative element 13 from interfering with the rotation of the armrest 2, and making the armrest 2 rotate smoothly.

[0074] The vehicle provided according to an embodiment of this application is described below.

[0075] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including the aforementioned door assembly 10.

[0076] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment, by setting the aforementioned door assembly 10, has an armrest 2 located on the inner side of the door body 1 and at least partially spaced apart from the door body 1. The armrest 2 is rotatably connected to the door body 1, and the rotation axis of the armrest 2 extends along the width direction of the door body 1. An ambient light 3 is located on the armrest 2 and is used to emit light onto the door body 1. As the armrest 2 rotates, the illumination position and illumination area of ​​the ambient light 3 on the door body 1 can be changed, thereby changing the light projection area of ​​the ambient light 3 on the door body 1, thus meeting the different needs of users for the illumination area of ​​the ambient light 3 and improving the user experience.
