The detailed description that the embodiment of the invention is carried out will make of the present invention above-mentioned more obvious with content and purpose, feature, advantage and benefits others in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is the inboard elevation of cutting apart and cooperating with passenger's arm according to the part of automotive door assembly of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the inboard elevation of the car door assembly of Fig. 1, and expression passenger's arm is pulled door open knob;
Fig. 3 is the front perspective view of the car door assembly of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is the inboard top perspective view of the car door assembly of Fig. 1;
Referring now to Fig. 1, automotive door assembly generally comes mark with numeral 10.Car door assembly 10 is shown as the side door of vehicle, and particularly the visitor uses the front side car door.Yet any car door all is considered within the spirit and scope of the present invention, comprises side door, rear side car door, lifting door, tail-gate of slip or the like.
Car door assembly 10 comprises the structure car door 12 that for example is connected in vehicle by body hinge 16 around pivot 14 rotationally.Car door assembly 10 also comprises latch and lockset lyatem 18, and it makes snap close block the car door lock wedge to make car door 12 towards the closing direction locking.In addition, car door assembly 10 can be equipped with the vehicle window 20 that extends above the crestal line of vehicle.
As shown in the figure, car door assembly 10 comprises the inboard door skin 22 that is contained on the car door 12, and it is substantially in the face of in the car.Door skin 22 is closed the assembly of car door assembly 10, its can by rigid polymer for example ABS plastic make, can comprise foam, liner, vinyl, fabric, timber or metal coating or the like, the moulding and the design of create an aesthetic feeling that perhaps brings the required decorative indicia of comfort and cause passenger's interest of ride-on vehicles.
Car door assembly 10 can comprise the outer door handle (not shown) that is assemblied in car door 12 outsides.Outer door handle can make the outer passenger of car be used for making latch and lockset lyatem 18 releases and car door assembly 10 is rotated around pivot 14.In addition, car door assembly 10 can comprise that the interior door handle 24 that is contained in door skin 22 makes the latch and lockset lyatem of release temporarily 18 in the car.
Door skin 22 can comprise other functional part.For example, door skin 22 can comprise structure handle 26, and it can be held by the passenger and spur car door assembly 10 to closing direction.In addition, door skin 22 can comprise reveal glove bag 28 in order to hold and to carry the article of the inside, for example map, magazine and other publication and medium.Reveal glove bag 28 can be equipped with Drinks holder 30 in order to hold and to carry beverage.
Door skin 22 can also comprise that the arm assembly 32 that laterally inwardly extends is to support passenger's arm 34.Arm assembly 32 can comprise that armrest pad 36 provides liner for passenger's arm 34.Armrest pad 36 shown in the figure flatly extends out substantially from door skin 22 and provides support and comfort from the following passenger's of giving arm 34.
Arm assembly 32 comprises that also handrail console 38 controls the various functional parts of car door assembly 10.Handrail console 38 is from nearby extending from armrest pad 36, and tilts in the direction of advance of vehicle, ends at anterior 40.
Interior door handle 24 comprises door open knob 42, and 44 places are connected in the front portion 40 of handrail console rotationally in the articulated section for it.
Door open knob 42 shown in the figure comprises front end handle part 46, and it can be held to pull handle 42. door open knob 42 by the passenger as shown in Figure 1 can also comprise second distal portion 48 that is arranged in the handrail console 38.Second distal portion 48 of handle 42 is connected to latch and lockset lyatem 18 by the hawser that sleeve pipe is arranged.
Referring now to Fig. 2, the passenger can make door open knob 42 44 rotations around the articulated section, so that latch and lockset lyatem 18 interim releases by handle part 46 being pulled away from the front portion 40 of handrail console.Rotating to move forward hawser 50 is stretched by pull door open knob 42, the second distal portion 48 with this manual mode, thereby making latch and lockset lyatem 18 releases.
Latch and lockset lyatem 18 and/or interior door handle 24 can comprise a back-moving spring, after discharging in order to the manual force that is subjected in door open knob 42 latch and lockset lyatem 18 are returned to the locking direction.Spring reset also can make handle 42 reset to as shown in Figure 1 retracted state.
Because door open knob 42 44 is rotated around the articulated section, and the articulated section is substantially perpendicular to car door 12, and the passenger need apply a power that is in substantially parallel relationship to car door.So the passenger holds handle part 46, make it promote car door assembly 10 backward and outwards and open car door.Prior art is compared in this operation needs the passenger in substantially vertical direction door open knob to be pulled away from the car door outside car door assembly of go-cart door again simultaneously, more meets the requirement of ergonomics.As shown in Figure 2, when handle part 46 was pulled fully, passenger's arm 34 remained on the direction near door skin 22.Thereby opening car door assembly 10 with a hand can be very comfortable, also can obtain enough supports of arm assembly 32.
Because the inclination of handrail console 38, door open knob 42 is easier to be visible concerning the passenger, easier touching.So the passenger need not to look down the position that arm assembly 32 is determined interior door handle 24.In addition, passenger's hole of need not hand is extended the depression in the door skin is held interior door handle.
Referring now to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, door open knob 42 has the end that is roughly arc cross section and the sky between side walls, thereby forms handle part 46.The front portion 40 of handrail console is roughly half round post, and has the preceding recess 52 that forms as shown in Figure 1 to Figure 3 inside, in order to hold handle part 46 when door open knob 42 is in blocking.
When passenger's pulling handle portion 46, handle part 46 with shown in the double dot dash line of Fig. 3, partly extends out from recess 52 as shown in Figure 2.Thereby when door open knob 42 was in the locking direction, the orientation of handle 42 flushed with the front portion 40 of handrail console substantially, can be by the outward appearance of outwards outstanding fusiform tool aesthetic feeling that interior door handle destroyed to provide in car.In addition, by being combined, interior door handle 24 and arm assembly 32 can optimize the compact degree of door skin 22.And for interior door handle 24, ergonomics obtains maximum the embodiment, and for arm assembly 32, level of comfort is realized maximization, thus the position that on door skin 22, can make dispositions, the neither one characteristics discount that gets beat up.
Referring now to Fig. 4, turning forward of handrail console 38 helps car door assembly 10 further performance functions.For example, be equipped with on the console for example control on the vehicle window/under switch 54 and the switch 56 of release/locking.The handrail console 38 that tilts make switch 54,56 be presented on that the passenger had not only seen easily but also approaching easily direction on.
Car window switch 54 is controlled operation to vehicle window by allowing passenger's open and close vehicle window as well-known in the known technology.Release/latch switch 56 allows passenger's locking reconciliation to lock door.The release of electronic control and latch and lockset lyatem also are well-known in known technology.The present invention imagines other switch, electronics or mechanical control device, side-view mirror adjuster for example, the seat adjustment device or similarly device can install on the handrail console 38.
In a word, the passenger can make handle 42 rotate around its articulated section 44 and open car door by the handle part 46 of holding door open knob 42.Subsequently, the passenger applies a power to door skin 22 and opens car door assembly 10.Car door assembly 10 of the present invention designs and functional part for the passenger in the car provides make things convenient for sense, aesthetic feeling, assembling, the ergonomics optimized.
