Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a flat-out door handle with a handle recess. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automotive industrial design, the requirements for vehicle aerodynamic performance, overall aesthetic appeal, and reduced wind noise are increasing, leading to the emergence of concealed door handles. These handles can retract to be flush with the door panel or embedded within the door when not in use, resulting in smoother side lines and effectively reducing the drag coefficient. Currently, most concealed door handles on the market use an electronic pop-out structure. Their typical operation is as follows: when a user approaches the vehicle with a valid key or presses the unlock button on the remote key, the door handle automatically pops out via an electronic control signal to drive a micro-motor or solenoid valve; the user can then open the car door like a regular handle.

[0003] However, this design, which heavily relies on the electronic control system, reveals a significant technical flaw in certain scenarios: insufficient reliability and convenience of emergency unlocking. Specifically, this manifests as follows: 1. Unable to unlock when vehicle is powered off: When a serious accident occurs resulting in damaged wiring or a completely depleted battery, the electronic control system that controls the door handle to pop out will fail due to power loss. The door handle will remain locked in the hidden position, preventing rescuers or passengers from finding and operating the handle to open the door through conventional means, greatly hindering the rapid evacuation of passengers and the timely implementation of external rescue; 2. Mechanical emergency mechanisms are complex and concealed: While some vehicle models are designed with mechanical keyholes or emergency cables as backups, these devices are usually cleverly hidden in extremely inconspicuous locations (such as in door trim panel gaps, wheel arch liners, or requiring the removal of specific covers to access them). In emergencies, especially with panic, poor visibility, or vehicle deformation, ordinary occupants and even basic rescue personnel may find it difficult to locate and operate them immediately, wasting valuable rescue time. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a flat-out door handle with a handle recess.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A flush door handle with a handle recess includes a mounting panel, a mounting base connected to the mounting panel, and a pull handle inserted into the mounting panel. The mounting base is provided with a drive assembly for driving the pull handle to extend or retract horizontally, and the pull handle and the mounting base form a handle recess for inserting a hand.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the pull handle forms an insertion groove, and the mounting panel forms an indented groove. The insertion groove and the indented groove form a handle recess. Through the above improvements, the area for hand insertion is greatly increased, improving the convenience for users when unlocking.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a first rotating arm and a second rotating arm connected to the pull handle. The drive assembly includes a push plate slidably disposed on the mounting base and a drive unit for driving the push plate to move. During the sliding process, the push plate drives the first and second rotating arms to rotate and forces the pull handle to extend. With the above improvement, when the drive unit receives the pop-out signal, its output shaft pushes the push plate to slide along the mounting base. The push plate pushes the first and second rotating arms to rotate synchronously around its axis, thereby converting the rotational motion into the horizontal linear extension motion of the pull handle, realizing the horizontal extension of the pull handle.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a first rotating shaft, the first rotating arm is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft, and a first elastic element is sleeved on the first rotating shaft. One end of the first elastic element abuts against the mounting base, and the other end abuts against the first rotating arm, so that the first rotating arm has a tendency to rotate away from the direction of the pull handle extension. Through the above improvements, the first elastic element is used to act on the first rotating arm to realize the automatic reset of the pull handle.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a second rotating shaft, the second rotating arm is rotatably mounted on the second rotating shaft, and the push plate is provided with a second elastic element, which is connected to the second rotating arm. Through the above improvements, the second torsion spring is used to act on the second rotating arm to achieve automatic reset of the pull handle.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting base is equipped with a first sensor and a second sensor. When the pull handle is in the extended state, the push plate abuts against the first sensor; when the pull handle is in the retracted state, the push plate abuts against the second sensor. Through the above improvements, the control system can monitor in real time whether the pull handle's pop-out and retract actions are executed properly. Based on the signals from the first and second sensors, the system can issue an alarm to the user through the instrument panel, prompting maintenance and improving the system's intelligence and reliability.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the push plate is provided with a toothed block, which abuts against the second rotating arm and forces it to rotate. Through the above improvements, the stability of the push plate when pushing the second rotating arm is enhanced.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a buffer pad. When the pull handle is in the retracted state, the pull handle abuts against the buffer pad. Through the above improvements, the stability of the pull handle when resetting is increased, and noise is effectively reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting base is rotatably provided with an unlocking component for unlocking the vehicle door, and the mounting base has an inertial lock structure corresponding to the unlocking component. The inertial lock structure includes an inertial lock block and a return torsion spring. The inertial lock block is provided with a counterweight protrusion, and the unlocking component is provided with a stop part corresponding to the counterweight protrusion. Through the above improvements, the vehicle door is effectively prevented from being opened accidentally in an emergency, ensuring the safety of the occupants.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with several adjusters, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of door handle installation.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By creating a hand recess between the pull handle and the mounting base, users can directly place their hand into the handle recess and pull the handle to unlock in an emergency, without having to wait for the handle to extend automatically. This improves the convenience of unlocking in emergencies and reduces safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0019] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a flat-out door handle with a handle recess 5 includes a mounting panel 1, a mounting base 2 connected to the mounting panel 1, and a pull handle 3 inserted into the mounting panel 1. The mounting base 2 is provided with a drive assembly 4 for driving the pull handle 3 to extend or retract horizontally, and the pull handle 3 and the mounting base 2 form a handle recess 5 for the hand to be inserted.

[0020] In case of emergency, you can directly put your hand into the handle socket 5 and pull the handle 3 to unlock. There is no need to wait for the handle 3 to extend automatically, which improves the convenience of unlocking in emergency situations and reduces safety risks.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, as a further explanation of the structure of the handle recess 5, the bottom of the pull handle 3 forms an insertion groove 1.1, and the mounting panel 1 forms an indented groove 1.2. The insertion groove 1.1 and the indented groove 1.2 form the handle recess 5, which greatly increases the area for hand insertion and improves the convenience for users when unlocking.

[0022] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in a further explanation of the implementation of the pull handle 3 extending outwards, the mounting base 2 is provided with a first rotating arm 1.3 and a second rotating arm 1.4 connected to the pull handle 3. The drive assembly 4 includes a push plate 1.5 slidably disposed on the mounting base 2, and a drive unit 1.6 for driving the push plate 1.5 to move. During the sliding process, the push plate 1.5 drives the first rotating arm 1.3 and the second rotating arm 1.4 to rotate, and forces the pull handle 3 to extend outwards.

[0023] When the drive unit 1.6 receives the pop-out signal, its output shaft pushes the push plate 1.5 to slide along the mounting base 2. The push plate 1.5 pushes the first rotating arm 1.3 and the second rotating arm 1.4 to rotate synchronously around their axis, thereby converting the rotational motion into the horizontal linear extension motion of the pull handle 3, realizing the horizontal extension of the pull handle 3.

[0024] Specifically, the mounting base 2 is fitted with a first rotating shaft 2.1, and the first rotating arm 1.3 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating shaft 2.1. A first elastic element 2.2 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 2.1. One end of the first elastic element 2.2 abuts against the mounting base 2, and the other end abuts against the first rotating arm 1.3, so that the first rotating arm 1.3 has a tendency to rotate away from the extension direction of the pull handle 3. The first elastic element 2.2 acts on the first rotating arm 1.3 to realize the automatic reset of the pull handle 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting base 2 is fitted with a second rotating shaft 2.3, and the second rotating arm 1.4 is rotatably mounted on the second rotating shaft 2.3. The push plate 1.5 is provided with a second elastic element 2.4, which is connected to the second rotating arm 1.4. The second torsion spring acts on the second rotating arm 1.4 to realize the automatic reset of the pull handle 3.

[0026] In addition, the ends of the first rotating arm 1.3 and the second rotating arm 1.4 are provided with connecting seats 1.7, which are connected to the pull handle 3. The connecting seat 1.7 on the first rotating arm 1.3 is provided with a third elastic element 2.5. One end of the third elastic element 2.5 abuts against the first rotating arm 1.3 and the other end abuts against the pull handle 3, providing continuous pre-tightening force, eliminating the movement gaps at each connection point, preventing abnormal noise and shaking, and in the retracted state, the auxiliary drive unit 1.6 presses the handle tightly against the vehicle body to ensure stability and sealing.

[0027] Preferably, the end of the push plate 1.5 is provided with a toothed block 3.3, which abuts against the second rotating arm 1.4 and forces it to rotate. Through the cooperation between the toothed block 3.3 and the second rotating arm 1.4, the stability of the push plate 1.5 when pushing the second rotating arm 1.4 is greatly improved.

[0028] Preferably, the mounting base 2 is provided with a buffer pad 3.4. When the pull handle 3 is in the retracted state, the pull handle 3 abuts against the buffer pad 3.4, which increases the stability of the pull handle 3 when it is reset, effectively reduces noise, and improves the user experience.

[0029] Preferably, the first rotating arm 1.3 has a wire-buried groove 5.1, and the wire-buried groove 5.1 has a wire-blocking protrusion 5.2 inside, which improves the stability of the wire installation.

[0030] Preferably, the mounting base 2 is equipped with a first sensor 3.1 and a second sensor 3.2. When the handle 3 is pulled into the extended state, the push plate 1.5 abuts against the first sensor 3.1. When the handle 3 is pulled into the retracted state, the push plate 1.5 abuts against the second sensor 3.2. The control system can monitor in real time whether the extension and retraction actions of the handle are performed in place. Based on the signals from the first sensor 3.1 and the second sensor 3.2, an alarm is issued to the user through the instrument panel to prompt maintenance, thereby improving the intelligence and reliability of the system.

[0031] like Figure 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, the mounting base 2 is rotatably provided with an unlocking component 4.1 for unlocking the vehicle door. The mounting base 2 has an inertial lock structure 4.2 corresponding to the unlocking component 4.1. The inertial lock structure 4.2 includes an inertial lock block 4.3 and a return torsion spring 4.4. The inertial lock block 4.3 is provided with a counterweight protrusion 4.5. The unlocking component 4.1 is provided with a stop part 4.6 corresponding to the counterweight protrusion 4.5, which effectively prevents the vehicle door from being opened accidentally in an emergency and ensures the safety of the occupants.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the mounting base 2 is provided with several adjusters 4.7 to improve the convenience and accuracy of door handle installation.

[0033] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
