Handle assembly, vehicle door and vehicle

Abstract

A handle assembly, a vehicle door comprising the handle assembly, and a vehicle comprising the vehicle door are disclosed. The handle assembly comprises a housing, a handle provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion, a driving member, and an unlocking member provided with a first cooperating protrusion and a second cooperating protrusion and configured to be rotatable to unlock the vehicle door. The handle is configured to be operable in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the handle is driven by the driving member to move from a retracted position in which the handle is located inside the housing to a first deployed position in which the handle is partially located outside the housing, such that when the handle is pulled, the first protrusion abuts against the first cooperating protrusion to rotate the unlocking member. In the second mode, the handle is pressed to move from the retracted position to a second deployed position in which the handle is partially located outside the housing, such that when the handle is pulled, the second protrusion abuts against the second cooperating protrusion to rotate the unlocking member.

Both the first and second mating protrusions are configured as fingers extending from the body and satisfy the following relationship: 0°＜β＜90°＜α＜180° Wherein, α is the angle between the first mating protrusion and the main body, and β is the angle between the second mating protrusion and the main body.

5. The handle assembly according to claim 4, characterized in that, The first protrusion is configured in a first mode to move below the first engaging protrusion when the handle is moved to a first extended position, such that when the handle is pulled, the first protrusion abuts against the area below the first engaging protrusion to rotate the unlocking member. The second protrusion is configured such that, in the second mode, when the handle is moved to the second extended position, the angular tip of the second protrusion aligns with the end of the second mating protrusion, such that when the handle is pulled, the angular tip of the second protrusion abuts against the end of the second mating protrusion to rotate the unlocking member.

6. The handle assembly according to claim 5, characterized in that, The housing is provided with a first stop member located on the side opposite to the first mating protrusion. The unlocking element is configured to rotate from an initial position to an unlocked position when the handle is pulled, unlock the door at the unlocked position and stop rotating by abutting against a first stop.

7. The handle assembly according to claim 6, characterized in that, The housing is further provided with: a second stop located on the side opposite to the second protrusion of the second mating protrusion, and a reset member for driving the unlocking member to rotate from the unlocked position to the initial position when the handle is not pulled, wherein the unlocking member is configured to abut against the second stop at the initial position and stop rotating.

8. The handle assembly according to claim 2, characterized in that, The second protrusion extends beyond the first protrusion from the mounting portion along the third direction and extends obliquely upward toward the unlocking member relative to the first protrusion.

9. The handle assembly according to claim 8, characterized in that, The second mating protrusion is disposed along the third direction on the side of the first mating protrusion opposite to the mounting portion. The first mating protrusion has an arc-shaped top end, and the second mating protrusion has an angular top end.

10. The handle assembly according to claim 9, characterized in that, The first protrusion is configured in a first mode to move below the first engaging protrusion when the handle is moved to a first extended position, such that when the handle is pulled, the first protrusion abuts against the area below the first engaging protrusion to rotate the unlocking member. The second protrusion is configured such that, in the second mode, when the handle is moved to the second extended position, the second protrusion aligns with the angular tip of the second mating protrusion, such that when the handle is pulled, the second protrusion abuts against the angular tip of the second mating protrusion to rotate the unlocking member.

11. The handle assembly according to claim 10, characterized in that, The housing is provided with a first stop member located on the side opposite to the second mating protrusion. The unlocking element is configured to rotate from an initial position to an unlocked position when the handle is pulled, unlocking the door in the unlocked position and stopping rotating by abutting against one side of the first stop.

12. The handle assembly according to claim 11, characterized in that, The housing is further provided with a reset member for driving the unlocking member to rotate from the unlocked position to the initial position when the handle is not pulled. The unlocking member is provided with a protruding ratchet on the side opposite to the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The ratchet is configured to abut against the opposite side of the first stop member at the initial position to stop the unlocking member from rotating.

13.
