Deployable Vehicle Door Handle Projection for Dynamic Image Zones
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle projection devices are fixedly mounted, limiting dynamic projection capabilities, affecting user experience, aesthetics, and durability due to exposure and potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A door handle system with a projection device that moves relative to the handle, allowing dynamic projection and retraction, reducing exposure to external elements, and integrating with handle deployment for varied projection modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the projection device is fixedly mounted on the vehicle door, then the installation is simple and stable, but the dynamic projection capability is limited and user experience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The projection device is integrated into the movable door handle assembly, allowing it to dynamically change position and projection angle along with the handle deployment. This transforms the fixed mounting structure into a dynamic one that adapts to different operational states, enabling varied projection modes without requiring a complex independent positioning system.
2Reliability
If the projection device is exposed outside the vehicle for projection, then the projection function is available, but the device is vulnerable to external damage and dust
Solution Approach 1:
The projection device is nested within the door handle assembly structure. When the handle is retracted into the door, the projection device remains protected inside the handle housing. When the handle deploys outward, the projection device becomes accessible for its projection function. This nesting arrangement provides protection during storage while enabling functionality during use.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the projection device moves with the handle deployment, then dynamic projection modes are enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The projection device is merged with the door handle assembly as an integrated unit. The projection device shares the mounting structure, movement mechanism, and control system with the handle. This merging approach enables dynamic projection capabilities while avoiding the need for separate complex positioning and control systems that would be required if the projection device were independently mounted and controlled.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a vehicle and a door handle system thereof, which includes a handle, a handle driving device and a projection device. The projection device is arranged in the handle and configured to, as the handle is deployed relative to the vehicle door, move from an obscured position to one or more projection position to project an image. A projection driving device drives the projection device to move. The deployment degree of the handle cooperates with the movement of the projection device to make the projection device project an image. The door handle system of the present disclosure can dynamically project images and project images of a wider variety of areas and shapes in a wider variety of projection regions to implement a wider variety of projection modes, thereby reducing the cost of improvement, without affecting the user experience and vehicle aesthetics and without being vulnerable to damage.
