1. A door handle arrangement for a vehicle including at least one movable vehicle element, comprising:
one handle element having a handle recess,
a handle cover which at least partially covers the handle recess, wherein a body section of an actuating unit separates the handle cover and the handle element to form the handle recess therebetween,
the actuating unit, which is arranged between the handle element and the handle cover, and
a carrier unit including at least one sensor and at least one switch, wherein the carrier unit is fixed in a stationary position between the actuating unit and the handle cover, wherein
the carrier unit unlocks a door lock in a contact-free manner upon contact-free detection of an object situated in a detection area of the sensor and/or of an object approaching the detection area, the detection area is located behind the actuating unit in the handle recess and wherein,
when the door lock is unlocked, the actuating unit actuates the switch when actuated, whereupon the switch opens the door lock as a result of the actuation, wherein an actuating area of the actuating unit and the detection area of the sensor are directed into the handle recess,
wherein the actuating unit has a first leg and a second leg, each leg having a base attached to the actuating unit and a connection portion opposite the base, the connection portion having a shaft aperture therethrough,
wherein the handle element has a first leg and a second leg, each leg having a base attached to the handle element and a connection portion opposite the base, the connection portion having a shaft aperture therethrough,
wherein a shaft is located through the shaft apertures of the legs of the handle element and the actuating unit, the shaft providing a common pivot axis for both the handle element and the actuating unit.
