The first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are respectively snapped or ultrasonically welded to both ends of the housing 1 along the length of the housing 1. The light-emitting component 4 is connected inside the housing 1 and located between the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3. A lampshade 11 is provided on the housing 1. The lampshade 11 is arranged opposite to the light-emitting component 4. The emitted light from the light-emitting component 4 is irradiated outward through the lampshade 11.

[0029] In practical applications, the staff places the light-emitting component 4 inside the housing 1 and connects it to both ends of the housing 1 through the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3, thereby sealing the light-emitting component 4 inside the housing 1. In this embodiment, the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are snap-fitted, but ultrasonic welding can also be used to further improve the sealing performance. The first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 can prevent dust and water from entering the housing 1 from both ends, thereby affecting the light-emitting component 4 inside the housing 1, which may cause the light-emitting component 4 to fail, or affect the opening or closing of the multi-purpose vehicle door. During user use, the light-emitting component 4 can emit light and illuminate it outward through the lamp cover 11, so that the user can notice the light source in time and facilitate user operation. It should be noted that during use, the part that the user pushes is the part where the lamp cover 11 is located, and it is arranged vertically when installed on the inner door.

[0030] Preferably, the outer casing 1 is provided with a through hole 121 and a mounting groove 122. The through hole 121 and the mounting groove 122 are arranged along the length direction of the outer casing 1. The through hole 121 communicates with the mounting groove 122. The through hole 121 is located at one end of the mounting groove 122 along the height direction of the outer casing 1. The through hole 121 and the mounting groove 122 form a receiving portion 12 for accommodating the light-emitting component 4. The outer peripheral wall of the first cover plate 2 matches the shape of the through hole 121, and the outer peripheral wall of the second cover plate 3 matches the shape of the receiving portion 12.

[0031] Through the above design, the staff first snaps or ultrasonically welds the first cover plate 2 or the second cover plate 3 to one end of the outer shell 1, then inserts the light-emitting component 4 into the outer shell 1 from the opening direction of the receiving part 12, and finally snaps or ultrasonically welds the other end to the second cover plate 3 or the first cover plate 2, thereby sealing the light-emitting component 4 in the outer shell 1, improving the sealing performance, and thus preventing dust and water from entering the outer shell 1 and affecting the light-emitting component 4.

[0032] Preferably, the outer shell 1 is provided with positioning blocks 13 at both ends along its length direction, and the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are provided with positioning grooves 5, the inner wall of the positioning groove 5 being matched with the outer peripheral wall of the positioning block 13.

[0033] In the above design, when the operator is snapping or ultrasonically welding the first cover plate 2 or the second cover plate 3, the operator can first place the first cover plate 2 or the second cover plate 3 on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning block 13 through the positioning block 13 and the positioning groove 5, which facilitates the operator's positioning and also facilitates the setting of the ultrasonic welding line on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning block 13 or the inner wall of the positioning groove 5, thus facilitating ultrasonic welding.

[0034] Preferably, the light-emitting component 4 includes a lamp plate 41 and a light-diffusing plate 42. The light-diffusing plate 42 has a U-shaped structure. The lamp plate 41 is located inside the light-diffusing plate 42. The two vertical parts of the light-diffusing plate 42 are arranged close to each other to form a limiting part 43. The limiting part 43 is used to prevent the lamp plate 41 from falling out of the light-diffusing plate 42. The closed end of the light-diffusing plate 42 is located in the through hole 121. The limiting part 43 is located in the mounting groove 122. The lamp cover 11 is arranged opposite to the light-diffusing plate 42. The lamp plate 41 is used to emit emitted light.

[0035] Through the above design, the staff places the light plate 41 inside the light diffuser plate 42 and prevents the light plate 41 from falling from the light diffuser plate 42 toward the opening of the light diffuser plate 42 through the limiting part 43. Then, the light diffuser plate 42 with the light plate 41 is inserted into the housing 1 through the receiving part 12. At this time, one end of the housing 1 is closed by the first cover plate 2, so that the light diffuser plate 42 can be placed inside the housing 1 without falling. Finally, the second cover plate 3 is used to close the housing 1, thereby sealing the entire light-emitting component 4. When the light plate 41 emits light, that is, when it emits light, the light diffuser plate 42 emits light evenly outward and emits light outward through the lampshade 11 to facilitate user use and improve the appearance. In some specific embodiments of this embodiment, the light diffuser plate 42 is made of milky white material to evenly diffuse the light emitted by the light plate 41 and avoid bright spots or dark spots.

[0036] Preferably, the outer shell 1 is provided with a guide block 14, and the two vertical parts of the light-diffusing plate 42 are provided with guide grooves 421. The guide block 14 and the guide grooves 421 are arranged opposite to each other. The guide block 14 is used to support the light-diffusing plate 42 inside the outer shell 1.

[0037] Through the above design, the guide block 14 and guide groove 421 facilitate the operation of the staff. When the staff inserts the light-diffusing plate 42 into the outer shell 1, the relative arrangement of the guide block 14 and guide groove 421 provides a guiding function, which facilitates the operation of the staff. After insertion, the guide block 14 can also support the light-diffusing plate 42 in the outer shell 1, which improves the stability. In some specific embodiments of this embodiment, the two ends of the light-diffusing plate 42 abut against the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 respectively, and are supported by the guide block 14, which further improves the stability of the light-diffusing plate 42.

[0038] Preferably, the outer shell 1 has a hollowed-out portion at one end along its height direction, the light diffuser plate 42 is arranged opposite to the hollowed-out portion, the lampshade 11 is fixed on the outer shell 1 and covers the hollowed-out portion, and the emitted light from the lamp plate 41 passes through the light diffuser plate 42 and the lampshade 11 in sequence.

[0039] In this embodiment, by covering the hollow part with the lampshade 11, the emitted light from the lamp plate 41 passes through the light diffuser 42 and the lampshade 11 in sequence, thus preventing the light plate 41 from passing through the light diffuser 42 and then through the outer shell 1, which would reduce the brightness of the light and thus ensure the brightness of the light.

[0040] Preferably, the door handle of the multi-purpose vehicle also includes a dustproof and waterproof unit 6, which is snapped onto the light-diffusing plate 42 and located between the two vertical parts of the light-diffusing plate 42.

[0041] In this embodiment, the dustproof and waterproof unit 6 can prevent dust and water from entering the interior of the light-diffusing plate 42 from the opening direction of the light-diffusing plate 42, thereby affecting the lamp plate 41. Therefore, the dustproof and waterproof unit 6 can improve the sealing performance and thus improve the service life of the lamp plate 41.

[0042] Preferably, the dustproof and waterproof unit 6 is provided with a notch 61, and the lamp board 41 is provided with a connecting wire 411. The notch 61 is used for the connecting wire 411 to pass through. One end of the connecting wire 411 is provided with a connector 412, and the connector 412 is connected to the power supply of the external device.

[0043] With the above design, the lamp board 41 draws power through the connecting line 411. After the connector 412 is connected to the power supply of the peripheral device, it supplies power to the lamp board 41 through the connecting line 411. In order to facilitate the lead wire and wiring, the connecting line 411 can pass through the notch 61, which facilitates the lead wire and wiring and makes subsequent maintenance easier.

[0044] Preferably, the dustproof and waterproof unit 6 is made of foam.

[0045] In this embodiment, the dustproof and waterproof unit 6 is foam. Foam has elastic properties, so the width of the foam can be set to be greater than the gap between the two vertical parts of the light-diffusing plate 42. The foam is inserted into the light-diffusing plate 42 through the opening of the light-diffusing plate 42. Through the elastic properties, it is interference-fitted with the light-diffusing plate 42, which is convenient for the staff to install.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
