1 TARIFF DOOR HANDLE DEFROSTING SYSTEM Technical Area This invention addresses the door handle design in vehicles where the door handle is flush with the door body. Access to the vehicle interior is not possible due to icing between the body and the vehicle frame. It is related to a door defrosting system that eliminates the problem. Previous Tech 10 Vehicles, especially those with door handles that are flush with the door (flash handles), have a design that causes the door to... There must be a working gap between the body and the door handle. This gap is cold. and fills with snow / rainwater during rainy weather and when the air temperature drops It is frozen. When the driver comes to open the vehicle after this cold weather, the door handle is 15 Because it's frozen, even if he unlocks the door, he can't move the door handle and the door... It cannot be opened. The current technique for solving this problem involves banging on the door with your fist and breaking the ice. Breaking it is recommended by the manufacturers. Another solution is 20 It heats the interior of the vehicle and uses the warm air to melt the ice on the door handles. Systems are used. However, breaking ice by punching is not ergonomic. This can be particularly problematic for female drivers. The door can burst if it's slammed too hard. Permanent deformation may occur on it. On the other hand, the interior of the vehicle... Waiting for the ice on doorknobs to melt by heating them takes a long time. 25 Therefore, heat is applied directly to the icy area to remove the ice from the door handle. A new structure is needed to enable its resolution. According to Chinese patent document CN215291981U, which is included in the prior art, 30 a mechanism designed to prevent icing on car door handles It is stated that the invention provides a door handle and a tool, and the tool parts 2 It relates to the field of structural and engineering manufacturing. A door handle is a transmission mechanism and It includes an ice-breaking mechanism, a transmission mechanism, an unlocking and door mechanism. It is used to carry out opening operations. The ice breaking mechanism is a recognition mechanism. module, a heating module, an energy storage module and a control module It includes. The door handle, through the recognition module, is part of the transmission mechanism 5. It detects whether it has frozen over and sends a signal to the control module. If the signal is positive and the icebreaking requirement is met, icebreaking begins. The mechanism is activated. The control module activates the energy storage module. It controls the discharge and heating module, quickly heating the ice to reach the desired temperature. It produces ice, thus achieving the purpose of breaking ice. The door handle is cold and 10 It can function normally even in harsh weather conditions, and the mechanical door handle... It extends the service life of the structure. The recognition module is part of the transmission mechanism. When it detects that the vehicle has frozen over, the controller sends the signal to the mobile application via the vehicle's internet connection. by sending a signal to the owner that the door handle is frozen and that the ice breaking process needs to be done. He reminds and asks whether it will be done immediately. The owner says 15 depending on the parking space. They can decide whether or not to perform the ice crushing operation. If they are in an enclosed space, they can also... Since there will be no secondary icing after the initial icing, the owner decided to remove the ice directly. It can provide. If parked outside, it has the ability to prevent secondary icing. Depending on the vehicle's needs, the company may decide to temporarily postpone de-icing. Before using the vehicle, activate the ice breaking signal via the mobile application 20 The controller approves; after receiving approval for ice removal, the controller breaks up the ice. It activates the heating module and waits for the owner to start the vehicle. If the owner does not approve the use of the vehicle beforehand, the mobile application can be used after arriving at the vehicle. it can start the ice crushing function.
