[0002] Currently, new energy vehicles generally adopt a door panel opening structure that combines electric and manual modes, allowing users to choose the door opening method according to their needs. The electric and manual opening modules are installed in different locations on the door trim panel. For example, the electric opening module is usually located in the armrest area of ​​the door trim panel, while the manual opening module is typically distributed along the inner edge of the door or below the armrest.

[0003] However, this would occupy a significant amount of installation space, drastically reducing the usable space for wiring harness layout, sound insulation and noise reduction material installation, and anti-collision structure design. This would decrease the utilization rate of the door's interior space and consequently affect the overall vehicle's lightweight design. Furthermore, the different installation locations of the electric and manual opening modules make operation inconvenient for users, impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a door opening structure, a door, and a carrier to solve or improve the problems in related technologies where the installation positions of two independent electric and manual actuators on the door interior panel are different, resulting in a large amount of installation space being occupied, reducing the utilization rate of the door's interior space, hindering the lightweight design of the whole vehicle, and causing inconvenience to users and affecting the user experience.

[0035] The following is combined Figures 1 to 7 This describes the door opening structure, door, and vehicle according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] According to an embodiment of this utility model, in one aspect, a door opening structure is provided, suitable for installation on the interior panel of a car door. This door opening structure includes a base 1, a mechanical handle 2, a mechanical unlocking mechanism 3, a button 4, and an electric unlocking mechanism 5, thus forming an integrated interior door opening structure combining electric drive and manual operation functions, capable of meeting the usage needs of different users in different environments. Specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, the mechanical handle 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical unlocking mechanism 3 is connected to the mechanical handle 2, and the mechanical handle 2 is adapted to drive the mechanical unlocking mechanism 3 to open the car door. Thus, by pulling the mechanical handle 2 to rotate, the mechanical unlocking mechanism 3 is driven to open the car door, completing the mechanical unlocking function. Additionally, as... Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 is provided with multiple connecting ears 103, which are used to connect with the interior trim panel of the car door, for example, by bolt connection.

[0037] It should be noted that the mechanical handle 2 and the mechanical unlocking mechanism 3 constitute the manual door opening structure. The mechanical handle 2, as the main interface for manual operation to open the door, is typically designed in an easy-to-grip shape, such as a pull ring or lever. The mechanical unlocking mechanism 3 is responsible for translating the operation of the mechanical handle 2 into the unlocking action of the door lock. When the mechanical handle 2 is pulled, the mechanical unlocking mechanism 3 receives and transmits this action, using a precise mechanical transmission mechanism to change the door lock from the locked state to the unlocked state. In this way, the door can be opened smoothly.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, button 4 is mounted on base 1 and is independently positioned from mechanical handle 2. Mechanical handle 2 has a clearance opening 201, and button 4 is at least partially located within the clearance opening 201. That is, within the same area of ​​the door trim panel, the user can choose to either pull mechanical handle 2 to open the door or press button 4 to open the door. Furthermore, when the user pulls and rotates mechanical handle 2, button 4 does not move with the rotation of mechanical handle 2. Therefore, button 4 and mechanical handle 2 are independent and do not affect each other, preventing accidental activation of button 4 or impacting the lifespan of the electronic switch wiring harness due to their interaction. Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a clearance hole 101, and the button 4 passes through the clearance hole 101. The electric unlocking mechanism 5 is arranged opposite to the button 4, and the button 4 is adapted to trigger the electric unlocking mechanism 5 to open the door. In this way, by pressing the button 4 to trigger the electric unlocking mechanism 5, the door can be opened, thus completing the electronic unlocking function.

[0039] It should be noted that button 4 and the electric unlocking mechanism 5 constitute the electric door switch structure. Button 4, as the operating element of the electric switch, is typically designed in an easy-to-press shape, such as a round, square, or oval button. The electric unlocking mechanism 5 is responsible for automatically unlocking the door using electric power. When the user presses button 4, the circuit is activated, sending an unlock signal. The electric unlocking mechanism 5 receives this electronic signal and unlocks the door lock via a motor and transmission mechanism. Similarly, pressing button 4 again will automatically lock the door, working on the same unlocking process as described above.

[0040] This design, by integrating the mechanical handle 2 and button 4 in the same location, achieves a unified design for both manual and electric opening in the same area. This caters to different user habits, offers convenient and flexible operation, simplifies the door opening structure, facilitates a unified design, optimizes cost, and reduces the space occupied inside the door, improving the utilization of interior space and contributing to the overall lightweight design of the vehicle. Furthermore, the independent design of the mechanical handle 2 and button 4 ensures higher reliability and avoids accidental activation during operation.

[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 102, and the mechanical handle 2 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 102. With this arrangement, when the car door is not in use, the mechanical handle 2 can be stored in the receiving groove 102, without taking up extra space on the outside of the car door, avoiding the space waste caused by the mechanical handle 2 protruding, making the car door appearance more concise and compact, leaving more layout space for other components on the car door (such as window control buttons, audio equipment, etc.), which is conducive to the optimization of the overall design of the car door.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the mechanical handle 2 is hinged to the base 1 via a pivot 6. Specifically, as... Figure 5 As shown, a pair of first hinge parts 106 are provided on the left side of the base 1. The pair of first hinge parts 106 are located at the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 6, respectively, and each pair of first hinge parts 106 is provided with a shaft hole adapted to the rotating shaft 6, and the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole. Meanwhile, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the mechanical handle 2 is provided with a second hinge part 203, and the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly inserted in the second hinge part 203, for example, by a key connection.

[0043] Furthermore, the door opening structure also includes an elastic element 7, which is sleeved on the pivot 6. One end of the elastic element 7 abuts against the mechanical handle 2, and the other end abuts against the base 1. The elastic element 7 is adapted to cause the mechanical handle 2 to have a tendency to return to its original position. Optionally, the elastic element 7 is a torsion spring, such as... Figure 7As shown, one end of the torsion spring abuts against the mechanical handle 2, and as... Figure 6 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a slot 104, and the other end of the torsion spring abuts in the slot 104 to ensure the reliability of the torsion spring.

[0044] With this design, users can easily open the car door by simply pulling the mechanical handle 2, causing it to rotate out of the receiving slot 102 of the base 1, thus improving ease of use. When the user pulls the mechanical handle 2 to open the car door, the elastic element 7 is compressed and generates elastic force. After the user releases the mechanical handle 2, the elastic element 7 releases the elastic force, pushing the mechanical handle 2 back to its original position. This resetting action provides clear operational feedback to the user, letting them know that the mechanical handle 2 has returned to its initial position, enhancing the user's sense of certainty and control during operation, and making the entire door opening and closing process smoother and more natural, thus improving the user experience.

[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, the door opening structure further includes a sleeve 8, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the sleeve 8 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 6 and positioned between the rotating shaft 6 and the elastic element 7. This arrangement allows the sleeve 8 to act as an isolation and buffer, preventing direct contact between the rotating shaft 6 and the elastic element 7, reducing wear caused by frequent relative movement and friction between them, and extending the service life of the overall structure.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, the door opening structure further includes a damping mechanism 9, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the damping mechanism 9 includes a damper 901 and a transmission assembly 902. The damper 901 is mounted on the base 1, for example, by bolt connection. The output end of the damper 901 is connected to the mechanical handle 2 via the transmission assembly 902. The damper 901 is adapted to generate a reverse damping torque when the mechanical handle 2 rotates. This configuration provides the mechanical handle 2 with a certain damping feel during rotation, avoiding the impact caused by rapid rotation, making operation smoother and more stable, preventing loosening or wobbling, providing users with a good operating feel, and improving the user experience.

[0047] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, the transmission assembly 902 includes a first gear 9021 and a second gear 9022 that mesh with each other. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the first gear 9021 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the damper 901. Specifically, the output shaft of the damper 901 is fixedly connected to the first gear 9021. Figure 7As shown, the second gear 9022 is fixedly mounted on the mechanical handle 2 and rotates synchronously with it. Specifically, the second gear 9022 is coaxially mounted with the rotating shaft 6 and rotates synchronously. Furthermore, the second gear 9022 can adopt an incomplete gear design, which can reduce the space occupied while meeting the rotation angle requirements of the mechanical handle 2, making the overall structure more compact and saving space.

[0048] With this configuration, the damper 901 transmits the generated reverse damping torque to the rotating shaft 6 via a gear transmission mechanism. This buffers the impact force during the rotation of the mechanical handle 2, reduces mutual impact and wear between components such as the mechanical handle 2, rotating shaft 6, and base 1, extends the service life of the door opening structure, and features a compact structure and reliable transmission. Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission component 902 may include, but is not limited to, gear transmission, and may also employ other transmission mechanisms such as worm gears. Furthermore, the output shaft of the damper 901 may be directly and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mechanical unlocking mechanism 3 includes a pull cable 301, and the mechanical handle 2 is provided with a pull cable connection part 202. The pull cable 301 is connected to the pull cable connection part 202, and the mechanical handle 2 is adapted to pull the pull cable 301 to open the car door. With this configuration, by pulling the mechanical handle 2 to rotate, the pull cable 301 is driven to move, thereby pulling the door lock mechanism, causing the bolt to disengage from the latch, and completing the mechanical unlocking.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the door opening structure also includes an elastic pad 11, and the cable connection 202 abuts against the elastic pad 11. Optionally, the elastic pad 11 can be a silicone pad, a rubber pad, etc. Figure 6 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 105 that matches the elastic pad 11, and the elastic pad 11 is snapped into the mounting groove 105. Thus, as... Figure 2 As shown, after the user releases the mechanical handle 2, the mechanical handle 2 drives the cable connection part 202 to reset. At this time, the cable connection part 202 abuts against the elastic pad 11, which can play a buffering and shock-absorbing role, effectively reducing the noise generated during the opening of the car door.

[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the electric unlocking mechanism 5 includes a push switch 501, which is located at the end of the button 4 opposite to the mechanical handle 2. The button 4 is adapted to trigger the push switch 501 to open the door. Optionally, the push switch 501 is a micro switch. With this configuration, pressing the button 4 triggers the push switch 501, which transmits a corresponding signal to the door module ECU (Electronic Control Unit). The door module ECU then sends an output command to the drive motor, thereby opening the door. Furthermore, the door locking principle is the same as the unlocking process described above. Pressing the button 4 again triggers the push switch 501, and a corresponding signal is transmitted to the door module ECU, which then sends an output command to automatically close the door.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, there is a gap 10 between the push switch 501 and the button 4, which provides a certain displacement space for the button 4, effectively preventing the door from being opened accidentally due to the button 4 being pressed, and improving the reliability of the anti-accidental touch function. It should be noted that the size of the gap 10 can be determined according to the actual design requirements.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a vehicle door, including the vehicle door opening structure as described in the various embodiments above. The derivation process of this beneficial effect is roughly similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effects of the above-described vehicle door opening structure, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, a vehicle is also provided, including a door as described in the above embodiments. Optionally, the vehicle is a vehicle, a low-altitude aircraft, etc. The derivation process of this beneficial effect is roughly similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effect of the aforementioned door, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
