Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are only a few embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the disclosure without any inventive step, are within the scope of protection of the disclosure.

Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The use of "first," "second," and similar terms in this disclosure is not intended to indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but rather is used to distinguish one element from another. Likewise, the word "comprising" or "comprises", and the like, means that the element or item listed before the word covers the element or item listed after the word and its equivalents, but does not exclude other elements or items. The terms "connected" or "coupled" and the like are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like are used merely to indicate relative positional relationships, and when the absolute position of the object being described is changed, the relative positional relationships may also be changed accordingly.

The locking and unlocking of the door by the door lock body can be realized by, for example, a door lock body control device provided inside the door. The door latch body includes a pull member (e.g., a pull rod or cable) connected to a pawl of the latch body; the door lock control device includes, for example, an outside door handle. The door handle outside the vehicle drives the traction member to move so as to drive the pawl connected with the traction member to move, so that a vehicle door lock body (lock body for short) is locked and unlocked, and the locking and the unlocking of the vehicle door are correspondingly realized. Here, when the lock body is in the locked state, the door is in the locked state in which it is closed; under the condition that the lock body is in the unlocked state, the vehicle door is in the unlocked state which can be opened.

The vehicle door latch body control device may further include a lock cylinder. The lock cylinder is connected with the other pawl of the lock body through a traction member. The lock core moves to drive the second traction member, so that the lock body realizes the locking or unlocking function. The lock core and the outer door handle respectively realize different functions of the lock body. The lock body is locked or unlocked through the outer door handle, and the vehicle door can be directly opened; under the condition that the lock cylinder is in a locked state, the function of opening the vehicle door by unlocking the lock cylinder through the outer door handle is invalid; if the automobile door needs to be opened, the lock cylinder must be unlocked, and then the lock body can be unlocked through the outer door handle, so that the automobile door can be opened. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the control device is a carrier for providing installation and fixation for the lock cylinder. For example, the lock cylinder may be fixed elsewhere in the vehicle door.

The current car door lock body control device has a plurality of problems, such as: poor operability, poor generalization, complex structure and high cost.

In order to solve the above technical problem, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a vehicle door lock body control device, which has good versatility and expansibility, and is simple in structure and low in cost.

The door lock body control device provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can be implemented as a purely manual hidden door lock body control device; a semi-automatic hidden car door lock body control device; full-automatic hidden door lock body control device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control device of a vehicle door lock body. The door latch body includes a pull member, and the control device is configured to actuate the pull member to move to lock and unlock the door latch body. In order to focus the description on the control device of the door latch, other parts of the door latch are not shown in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Specifically, the control device includes: a base body having a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other; a swing arm connected to the base body and rotatable about a first axis, an end of the swing arm distal from the first axis configured to connect to the puller member, wherein the swing arm is in an initial position relative to the base body when the door lock body is in a locked state; and a swing arm drive assembly configured to drive rotation of the swing arm from the initial position toward the first edge of the base body to a first unlocked position relative to the base body with at least one of the swing arm and the puller member connected to the base body in a first mounting manner to effect unlocking of the door lock body, and to drive rotation of the swing arm from the initial position toward the second edge of the base body to a second unlocked position relative to the base body with at least one of the swing arm and the puller member connected to the base body in a second mounting manner to effect unlocking of the door lock body.

The control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can adopt the same base body, swing arm and swing arm driving assembly to realize unlocking of the traction member towards two opposite directions, so that the universality of the control device on the left vehicle door and the right vehicle door is effectively improved.

The control device of the vehicle door latch may further include a handle control assembly configured to drive the handle to rotate from an initial closed position to a partially open position and to hold the handle in the partially open position, wherein the latch maintains a locked state with the handle in both the initial closed position and the partially open position, and a distance between a second end of the handle and the base body with the handle in the partially open position is greater than a distance between the second end of the handle and the base body with the handle in the initial closed position. This is advantageous for improving the one-handed operability of the handle.

First embodiment

Referring to fig. 1 to 5C, a lock body control device for a semi-automatic vehicle door according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

Fig. 1 is an exploded view of a lock body control device for a semi-automatic vehicle door according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 1, the door latch control device includes: the device comprises a handle 1, a switch 2, a sealing rubber strip 3, a control component 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving component 6, a driving component return spring 7, a handle opening spring 8, a shaft sleeve 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a fixing pin 14, a traction component swing arm 15, a buckle 16, a traction component assembly 17, a traction component fixing frame 18 and a lock cylinder 19.

The base body 11 includes a bottom portion 111 and a side wall portion 112. The bottom portion 111 and the side wall portion 112 define a receiving space for receiving and/or positioning other components included in the door latch control device.

In this embodiment, the swing arm drive assembly includes, for example: a handle 1 and a drive member 6.

Referring to FIG. 2A, the drive member 6 is connected to the puller member swing arm 15 such that the drive member 6 and the puller member swing arm 15 can move as a unit. For example, the pulling member swing arm 15 is formed with a rectangular-like drive member mounting through-hole at one end near the first axis A1. Referring to fig. 3B, the lower end portion of the driving member 6 facing the pulling member swing arm 15 has a rectangular-like planar shape matching the through hole. When the lower end portion of the drive member 6 is inserted into the drive member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15, the drive member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 cannot, for example, undergo substantial relative rotation therebetween. Of course, the present embodiment does not limit the relative positional relationship between the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15, as long as the driving member 6 can effectively drive the pulling member swing arm 15 to rotate.

Referring to fig. 2A and 3B, the pulling member swing arm 15 is located on the back side of the bottom 111 of the base body 11 opposite to the accommodating space, and the lower end portion 6-1 of the driving member 6 is inserted into the driving member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15 through the pulling member swing arm 15 located on the bottom 111 of the base body 11. A fixing pin 14 is inserted into the lower end portion of the driving member 6 to restrict the lower end portion 6-1 of the driving member 6 from coming out of the driving member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15. That is, the puller member swing arm 15 and the drive member 6 are mounted as a unit that is further coupled to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 such that the puller member swing arm 15 and the drive member 6 are rotatable together about the first axis A1. For example, the pulling member swing arm 15 and the drive member 6 mounted together may produce only very little or no translational movement relative to the bottom 111 of the base body 11. Here, the first axis a1 is virtual for describing the coupling relationship of the pulling member swing arm 15, the driving member 6, and the bottom 111 of the base body 11. For example, the first axis a1 is substantially perpendicular to the bottom 111 of the base body 11.

Here, the connection form of the pulling member swing arm 15 and the driving member 6 is not limited, and the specific shapes of the driving member mounting through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15 and the lower end portion of the driving member 6 are not limited as long as the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 can be synchronously rotated substantially about the same axis.

Referring to fig. 2B, the upper end portion 6-2 of the driving member 6 is located in the receiving space of the base body 11. The upper end portion 6-2 of the drive member 6 is provided with a slot on the side away from the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The drive member 6 and the puller member swing arm 15 are mounted to the bottom 111 of the base body 11, the drive member 6 being located on a first axis a1 and being asymmetric about the first axis a1, see fig. 3B. The first side wall 61 of the drive member 6 distal from the upper end 6-2 of the puller member swing arm 15 is a substantially greater distance relative to the first axis a1 than the second side wall 62 thereof is relative to the first axis a 1. Referring to fig. 3B, the slot in the upper end 6-2 of the drive member 6 is for example perpendicular to two mutually parallel sides of the lower end 6-1 of the drive member 6.

The end of the pull member swing arm 15 distal from the first axis a1 is configured to couple with the pull wire 171 of the pull member assembly 17, such as by a buckle 16. The puller member assembly 17 is connected to the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 by a puller member mount 18. Referring to fig. 1 and 3D, the portion of the base body 11 for mounting the tension member holder 18 is designed as a square hole structure. When the pulling member fixing frame is required to be installed, the square nut 37 is plugged in the assembling process, the pulling member fixing frame 18 can be installed and fixed in cooperation with the screw 38, and when the pulling member fixing frame is not required to be installed, the square nut 37 is not plugged in. In addition, a sealing rubber strip 39 may be further provided on the square hole structure of the base body 11. In other examples, such as where the base body 11 is configured to mount the tension member mount 18 in a non-circular configuration, a corresponding, mating non-circular nut may be used in conjunction. The square hole structures of the base body 11 for mounting the traction member fixing frame 18 and the lock cylinder 19 are symmetrically designed, so that the purpose of left-right universality is achieved, newly-developed symmetrical parts are avoided, and the cost of a die and a gauge is increased. Here, the connection manner of the end of the pulling member swing arm 15 away from the first axis a1 and the wire 171 of the pulling member assembly 17 and the connection manner of the pulling member assembly 17 and the base body 11 are not limited, and it is only necessary to satisfy that the end of the pulling member swing arm 15 away from the first axis a1 and the wire 171 of the pulling member assembly 17 can perform the joint movement.

The handle rotation shaft 10 is mounted on the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 through the boss 9. The handle 1 is connected to the base body 11 by a handle rotation shaft 10 and can rotate about the handle rotation shaft 10. The shaft 10 is, for example, stationary (close fit) with respect to the base body 11, and the handle 1 is rotatable (with appropriate clearance) with respect to the shaft 10. However, the connection manner of the rotating shaft 10 and the base body 11 is not limited, as long as the two ends of the rotating shaft 10 are made with anti-falling structures (or other methods) to ensure that the rotating shaft does not fall off the base body 11. The handle opening spring 8 is sleeved on the handle rotating shaft 10, one end of the handle opening spring is inserted into the slot of the driving member 6, and the other end of the handle opening spring is abutted against the handle 1. The drive member return spring 7 is also fitted over the handle shaft 10 and has one end also inserted in the slot of the drive member 6. When the door lock body is in a locked state, the handle 1 is in an initial closing position, and the handle opening spring 8 is in a large elastic deformation state. For example, in the initial closed position, the outer surface of the handle 1 is substantially flush with the outer surface of the door panel, for example. The sealing strip 3 is attached to the car door metal plate, so that sealing effect between the inside of the car and the outside of the car is achieved, and air leakage caused by gaps between the base body 11 and the car door metal plate is avoided. The handle 1 has a first projection B1 and a second projection B2 separately provided on one end thereof near the handle rotation shaft 10, see fig. 3C. For example, two separately provided protrusions B1 and B2 may be provided symmetrically to each other.

The asymmetric configuration of the upper end of the drive member 6 and the separate arrangement of the projections B1 and B2 enable the projections B1 and B2 to alternatively contact the drive member 6 and urge the drive member 6 to rotate about the first axis a1 when the handle is rotated about the handle rotation axis 10. That is, the handle 1 only has one protrusion in contact with the drive member 6 when pushing the drive member 6 to rotate, and the other protrusion does not contact the drive member 6.

The control member 4 is, for example, directly connected to a rotating shaft of the rotating electrical machine 5 so as to rotate under the control of the rotating electrical machine 5. For example, the control member 4 is mounted on the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 at the rotating electric machine 5. The control member 4 is configured to restrict rotation of the handle 1 at its initial position to maintain the handle 1 in an initial closed state. The rotary electric machine 5 is signal-connected, for example, to a switch 2 on the handle. That is, the control of the rotating shaft of the rotating electrical machine 5 can be achieved by the operation of the switch 2. The operation of the switch 2 may include, for example, a contact-type press or a non-contact-type shutter. It is to be understood that when the switch 2 is connected to the rotating electric machine 5 in wireless communication, the switch 2 may also be provided on the inside of the vehicle door or on the key fob.

Fig. 4A to 4C are schematic diagrams illustrating a process of unlocking a latch body by a pre-opening state of a door latch body of the semi-automatic door latch body control device according to the embodiment of the disclosure. In fig. 4A, the door latch is in an initial latched state; in fig. 4B, the door latch is in a pre-open state (the door latch is still locked at this time); in fig. 4C, the door latch is in the unlocked state.

In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4, a rotating electrical machine 5, a drive member 6 and a handle opening spring 8.

Referring to fig. 4A, the handle 1 is in an initial closed position when the door latch is in an initial locked state. Since the control member 4 abuts on the end of the handle 1 near the control member 4 in the initial position, the handle 1 cannot be rotated about the handle rotation shaft 10, but is restrained in the initial closed position, and the handle cannot be opened by an external force. In the state shown in fig. 4A, the handle opening spring 8 is in a large elastically deformed state, and the driving member return spring 7 is, for example, in a small elastically deformed state. The end of the handle opening spring 8 inserted in the slot of the drive member 6 is located on, for example, the first rotation axis a1, and therefore, although the handle opening spring 8 is in a large elastically deformed state, a moment capable of urging the drive member to rotate is not generated. In the state shown in fig. 4A, the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 are both in the initial position with respect to the base body 11 (see, for example, fig. 5A);

when the control member 4 is driven by the rotating motor 5 to leave its initial position shown in fig. 4A, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to the elastic deformation is slowly released so that the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 can exert the urging force so that the handle 1 is rotated from the initial closed position to the partially open position shown in fig. 4B. In the present embodiment, the handle opening spring 8 serves as a handle driving member to drive and hold the handle 1 in the partially opened position. For example, when the handle 1 is in the partially opened position shown in fig. 4B, the handle opening spring 8 is, for example, in a less elastically deformed state. The handle is typically pulled away toward the outside of the door. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to the partially open position, the projection B1 or B2 of the handle 1 contacts the driving member 6, and the force applied to the handle 1 by the driving member 6 together with the force applied to the handle 1 by the handle opening spring 8 allows the handle 1 to be held in the partially open position. In the state of the handle 1 shown in fig. 4B and 5A in the partially opened position, the drive member return spring 7 is still in a small elastically deformed state, for example, and the drive member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 are still in initial positions relative to the base body 11 (see, for example, fig. 5A);

when the door latch is in the pre-open state, the handle 1 is in the partially open state, and a person can conveniently pull the handle 1 to further rotate about the rotation axis 10 to the fully open position shown in fig. 4C, during which rotation the first protrusion B1 of the handle 1 contacts and drives the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 to rotate about the first axis a1 toward the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to a first twisted position and a first unlocked position relative to the base body 11 (see fig. 5B). The pulling member swing arm 15 is driven from the initial position shown in fig. 5A to the first unlocked position shown in fig. 5B, during which the pulling wire 171 effectively pulled by the pulling member swing arm 15 produces sufficient movement to effect unlocking of the door latch; when the handle 1 shown in fig. 4C and 5B is in the fully open position, the driving member return spring 7 is in a large elastically deformed state.

After the retractor member swing arm 15 reaches the first unlocked position to unlock the door latch, the handle 1 can be released by the human hand, the pushing force exerted by the first protrusion B1 of the handle 1 on the driving member 6 disappears, and the handle returns to the partially open position. Simultaneously, the drive member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15 rotate about the first axis a1 back to the initial positions of the drive member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15, respectively, under the drive of the drive member return spring 7. A person may, for example, operate the switch 2 again, so that the rotating motor 5 receives the off signal and rotates the control member 4 counterclockwise to the initial position of the control member 4, and then push the handle back to the initial off state.

In the above, the unlocking process of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation manner (the upper end of the driving member 6 is installed in the driving member installation through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15 biased toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 on the first axis a1 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed at the second edge E2 of the base body 11) is described with reference to fig. 4A to 5B. It is understood that the control device of the vehicle door latch body provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure may be in the second installation manner shown in fig. 5C, that is, the upper end of the driving member 6 is installed in the driving member installation through hole of the pulling member swing arm 15 on the first axis a1 biased toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed at the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when the handle 1 is rotated by manually applying an external force by a person, the second protrusion B2 of the handle 1 contacts and drives the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 to turn about the first axis a1 toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to be in the second twisted position and the second unlocked position with respect to the base body 11 (see fig. 5C). The retractor member swing arm 15 is driven from the initial position shown in fig. 5A to the second unlocked position shown in fig. 5C, during which time the retractor member swing arm 15 effectively pulls the pull wire 171 to produce sufficient movement to effect unlocking of the door latch. It will be appreciated that the states of the traction member swing arm 15 shown in fig. 5B and 5C in the first and second unlocked positions relative to the base body 11 may each correspond to the state of the handle 1 shown in fig. 4C in the fully open position. When the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is in the second installation mode shown in fig. 5C, when the handle 1 is released by a human hand, the process of returning the handle 1 to the initial closed state is similar to the process described above with respect to the control device of the vehicle door lock body in the first installation mode, and therefore, the description is omitted here.

It will be appreciated that the control of the door latch assembled in the first installation is suitably mounted on a left side door, for example, and the control of the door latch assembled in the second installation is suitably mounted on a right side door, for example. Here, it can be seen that the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be simultaneously applied to left and right vehicle doors, and the left and right vehicle doors are commonly used. Further cost savings are achieved because there is no need to develop different molds for the left and right doors, respectively.

In another example, the control member 4 and the handle opening spring 8 may be omitted, and the handle rotation shaft 10 is directly connected to the rotation shaft of the rotation motor 5, and the handle 1 is fixedly connected to the handle rotation shaft 10. The handle 1 and the handle spindle 10, for example, cannot be rotated relative to each other. For example, the handle rotation shaft 10 is of an integral structure with the rotation shaft of the rotating motor 5. In this case the handle control assembly is a rotary motor 5. The rotary motor 5 can directly control the rotational position of the handle 1. The handle 1 can be rotated from an initial closed position to and maintained in a partially open position, for example, under the drive and control of the rotary motor 5. With the handle 1 held in the partially open position, the subsequent unlocking process can be conveniently operated by the human hand. This allows for another form of simpler control of the semi-automatic door latch. Further, in case the torque that the rotating motor 5 can provide is sufficiently large, the handle 1 can be directly driven to rotate from the partially opened position to and be held in the fully opened position by the rotating motor 5. In this case, the control device of the door lock body provided in this example may be a fully automatic control device of the door lock body.

Some embodiments below provide a control device for a door lock that also includes a rotating motor 5. However, the torque that the rotating electrical machine 5 can provide in each embodiment is not limited to be large, and the rotating drive function may be realized correspondingly.

Second embodiment

Referring to fig. 6 to 8C, a lock body control device for a semi-automatic vehicle door according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

Fig. 6 is an exploded view of a lock body control device for a semi-automatic vehicle door according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 6, the door latch control device includes: the device comprises a handle 1, a switch 2, a sealing rubber strip 3, a control component 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving component 6 ', a driving component return spring 7', a handle opening spring 8, a shaft sleeve 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotating shaft 12, a clamping ring 13, a fixing pin 14 ', a traction component swing arm 15', a buckle 16, a traction component assembly 17, a traction component fixing frame 18 and a lock cylinder 19.

The difference between the control device of the semi-automatic vehicle door lock body provided by the second embodiment of the disclosure and the control device of the semi-automatic vehicle door lock body provided by the first embodiment of the disclosure mainly lies in that: the drive member 6', which is not on the first axis a1, drives the puller member swing arm 15 in rotation about the first axis of rotation a1 by a translational movement. The following description will be made mainly of the features of the latch body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door provided in the second embodiment which are different from those of the latch body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door provided in the first embodiment, and the features of the members which are not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the members of the same reference numerals or shapes of the latch body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door provided in the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, the swing arm drive assembly includes, for example: a handle 1 and a drive member 6'.

Referring to fig. 7A, the driving member 6 'is installed in the receiving space of the base body 11, and the specific driving member 6' is located in the sliding groove on the bottom 111 of the base body 11.

Referring to fig. 7A and 7B, the swing arm rotating shaft 12 passes through a through hole of the bottom 111 of the base body 11, and one end of the swing arm rotating shaft 12 located in the accommodating space has a stopper portion that cannot pass through the through hole. The puller member swing arm 15' is snapped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 by the snap ring 13. The swing arm rotating shaft 12 is restricted in the position of the through hole and can rotate about the first axis a 1. The pulling member swing arm 15 'is connected to a portion of the swing arm pivot shaft 12 on the back side of the base body 11 so that the pulling member swing arm 15' and the swing arm pivot shaft 12 can rotate as a unit about the first axis a1 in synchronization. In another example, the puller member swing arm 15 'and the swing arm pivot 12 may not rotate in unison as a unit, e.g., the swing arm pivot 12 does not rotate, while the puller member swing arm 15' rotates about the first axis a1 with the assistance of the swing arm pivot 12.

Referring to fig. 7A and 7B, the drive member 6' has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the driving member 6' is located at the back side of the bottom 111 of the base body 11 through the strip-shaped through hole of the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The driving member 6 'is snapped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 by means of the pin fixing pins 14'. The second end of the drive member 6 "is located in the receiving space of the base body 11. The first end of the drive member 6' is capable of reciprocating along a first path between opposite ends of the strip-shaped through hole. The drive member 6' is not located on the first axis a 1. The drive member return spring 7 ' has one end connected to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and the other end connected to the drive member 6 ' so that the drive member 6 ' can have a first end at a first end of the strip-shaped through hole near the first axis a1 in the initial position.

The puller member swing arm 15 'has a first surface 151 and a second surface 152 facing the drive member 6'. For example, the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 are substantially planar, and the included angle therebetween is an obtuse angle. However, embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the shape and relative positional relationship of the first surface 151 and the second surface 152, as long as the pulling member swing arm can be driven to rotate in cooperation with the driving member.

In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4, a rotating electrical machine 5, a drive member 6' and a handle opening spring 8.

Referring to fig. 8A, when the door latch is in the initial locked state, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position due to the initial position of the control member 4. One end of the handle opening spring 8 is connected to the base body 11, and the other end thereof abuts against the handle 1. In this state, the handle opening spring 8 is in an elastically deformed state, and the driving member return spring 7' is in an elastically deformed state, for example. In the state shown in fig. 8A, when the door latch body is in the initial locked state, the driving member 6 'and the pulling member swing arm 15' are both in the initial positions with respect to the base body 11; when the puller member swing arm 15 ' is in the initial position, the first surface 151 of the puller member swing arm 15 ' is located on the first path of the first end of the drive member 6 '; the second surface 152 abuts, for example, the drive member 6'. For example, the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 are substantially planar, and the included angle between the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 is, for example, an obtuse angle.

When the control member 4 is driven by the rotating motor 5 to leave its initial position, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to the elastic deformation is slowly released so that the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 can exert the pushing force to rotate the handle 1 from the initial closed position to the partially open position. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to the partially open position, the projections B1 and B2 of the handle 1, for example, simultaneously directly contact the second end of the drive member 6 ', and the force exerted by the drive member 6' on the handle 1, together with the force exerted by the handle opening spring 8 on the handle 1, allows the handle 1 to be held in the partially open position. In the state when the handle 1 is in the partially open position, the drive member return spring 7 ' is still, for example, in an elastically deformed state, the drive member 6 ' and the traction member swing arm 15 ' are still both in the initial position with respect to the base body 11 (see, for example, fig. 8A);

while the person can conveniently pull the handle 1 to further rotate about the rotary shaft 10 to the fully open position, the first and second protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 simultaneously contact and push the driving member 6' to move from the first end of the strip-shaped through hole near the first axis a1 to the second end away from the first axis a 1. It will be appreciated that the number and form of the protrusions on the handle 1 are not limited herein, as long as the handle 1 is enabled to effectively push the driving member during the rotation of the handle 1. During this movement of the drive member 6 ', the drive member 6' can remain in abutment with the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15 'and slide on the first surface 151, thereby urging the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate about the first axis a1 toward the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to a first unlocked position relative to the base body 11 (see fig. 8B). During the process that the pulling member swing arm 15 'is driven from the initial position to the first unlocking position, the pulling wire 171 is effectively pulled by the pulling member swing arm 15' to generate enough movement so as to unlock the door lock body; in the state shown in fig. 8B, the driving member return spring 7' is in a large elastically deformed state.

After the towing member swing arm 15 'reaches the first unlock position to unlock the door latch, the human hand may release the handle 1 and the pushing force exerted by the protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 on the driving member 6' disappears. At the same time, the drive member 6 'moves the first end along the first path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole, which is far from the first axis a1, to the first end close to the first axis a1 under the drive of the drive member return spring 7', so that the pushing force exerted by the drive member 6 'on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15 'rotates back to the corresponding initial position about the first axis a1 into abutment with the first surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15', for example under the pulling force of the traction member assembly 17 on the pulling wire 171.

In the above, the unlocking process of the control device of the door latch provided by the second embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation mode (the pulling member swing arm 15 'is installed on the side of the driving member 6' close to the first edge E1 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed on the second edge E2 of the base body 11) is described with reference to fig. 6 to 8B.

It is understood that the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the second embodiment of the present disclosure may be in the second installation manner shown in fig. 8C, that is, the pulling member swing arm 15 'is installed at one side of the driving member 6' near the second edge E2 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed at the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when the handle 1 is rotated by manually applying an external force by a human, the two protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 contact and push the driving member 6' to move from the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis a1 to the second end away from the first axis a 1. During this movement of the drive member 6 ', the drive member 6' can remain in abutment with the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15 'and slide on the first surface 151, thereby urging the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate about the first axis a1 toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to a second unlocked position relative to the base body 11 (see fig. 8C). In the process that the traction member swing arm 15 'is driven from the initial position to the second unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the pull wire 171 to generate enough movement so as to realize the unlocking of the door lock body; in the state shown in fig. 8C, the driving member return spring 7' is in a large elastically deformed state. It will be appreciated that the state of the traction member swing arm 15' shown in fig. 8B and 8C in the first and second unlocked positions relative to the base body 11 may correspond to the state of the handle 1 in the fully open position.

After the towing member swing arm 15 'reaches the second unlocking position to unlock the door latch, the human hand may release the handle 1, and the pushing force exerted by the protrusions B1 and B2 of the handle 1 on the driving member 6' disappears. At the same time, the drive member 6 'moves the first end along the first path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole, which is far from the first axis a1, to the first end close to the first axis a1 under the drive of the drive member return spring 7', so that the pushing force exerted by the drive member 6 'on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15' disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15 'rotates back to the corresponding initial position about the first axis a1 into abutment with the first surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15', for example under the pulling force of the traction member assembly 17 on the pulling wire 171.

In the present embodiment, the first and second projections B1 and B2 of the handle 1 act on the drive member 6' simultaneously. It will be appreciated that in the present embodiment, the number and form of the protrusions of the handle 1 on the end close to the drive member 6 'are not limited as long as the drive member 6' can be effectively pushed by the handle 1. For example, in another example, another protrusion may be used in place of the first and second protrusions B1 and B2 at the same position.

Although the second end portions of the pulling member swing arm 15 'and the driving member 6' are respectively located on opposite sides of the bottom 111 of the base body 11 in the present embodiment, the present embodiment is not limited thereto. In another example, the second ends of the traction member swing arm 15 'and the drive member 6' may also be located on the same side of the base body 11. For example, the second ends of the traction member swing arm 15 'and the drive member 6' are both located in the receiving space of the base body 11. In this case, it is sufficient to adjust the mounting positions of the catch 16, the pulling member assembly 17, and the pulling member fixing bracket 18 to the side of the base body 11 facing the handle 1, and to connect the pulling member swing arm 15' to the swing arm rotating shaft 12 on the side of the base body 11 facing the handle 1. In this case, the driving member 6 'may, for example, move back and forth in the bar-shaped groove of the bottom 111 of the base body 11 without passing through the bottom 111 of the base body 11, thereby pushing the pulling member swing arm 15' to rotate about the first axis a 1.

Third embodiment

Referring to fig. 9 to 11C, a lock body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

Fig. 9 is an exploded view of a lock body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 6, the door latch control device includes: the device comprises a handle 1, a switch 2, a sealing rubber strip 3, a control component 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving component 6, a driving component return spring 7, a handle opening spring 8, a shaft sleeve 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotating shaft 12, a clamping ring 13, a fixing pin 14 ', a traction component swing arm 15', a buckle 16, a traction component assembly 17 and a traction component fixing frame 18.

The semi-automatic latch body control device provided in the third embodiment of the present disclosure differs from the semi-automatic latch body control device provided in the first embodiment of the present disclosure mainly in that the driving member 6 does not lie on the first axis a1 to drive the pulling member swing arm 15 to rotate about the first axis a1 by rotating. The following description will be made mainly of the features of the lock body control device for a semiautomatic door provided in the third embodiment which are different from those of the lock body control device for a semiautomatic door provided in the first embodiment, and the features of the members which are not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the members of the same reference numerals or shapes of the lock body control device for a semiautomatic door provided in the first embodiment.

Referring to fig. 10A and 10B, the swing arm rotating shaft 12 passes through a through hole of the bottom 111 of the base body 11, and one end of the swing arm rotating shaft 12 located in the accommodating space has a stopper portion that cannot pass through the through hole. The puller member swing arm 15' is snapped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 by the snap ring 13. The swing arm rotating shaft 12 is restricted in the position of the through hole and can rotate about the first axis a 1. The pulling member swing arm 15 'is connected to a portion of the swing arm pivot shaft 12 on the back side of the base body 11 so that the pulling member swing arm 15' and the swing arm pivot shaft 12 can rotate as a unit about the first axis a1 in synchronization. In another example, the puller member swing arm 15 'and the swing arm pivot 12 may not rotate in unison as a unit, e.g., the swing arm pivot 12 does not rotate, while the puller member swing arm 15' rotates about the first axis a1 with the assistance of the swing arm pivot 12.

Referring to fig. 10B, the driving member 6 in this embodiment has the same structural shape as the driving member 6 in the first embodiment, however, the driving member 6 in this embodiment is not directly mounted to the pulling member swing arm 15', but is directly mounted to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 away from the first axis a 1. The lower end portion of the driving member 6, on which a card slot is formed, is located on the back side of the bottom portion 111 of the base body 11 through the through hole of the bottom portion 111 of the base body 11. The drive member 6 is snapped to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 by the cooperation of the pin snap ring 14 "and the slot. The drive member 6 is rotatable about a second axis a 2. Here, the first axis a1 is different from the second axis a 2. For example, the first axis a1 is parallel to the second axis a 2. For example, the first axis a1 and the second axis a2 are located in a plane, such as a plane of symmetry, of the base body 11. It is understood that the first axis, the second axis and the symmetry plane in all embodiments of the present disclosure are virtual for describing the position and structural relationship of the relevant components. Both ends of the first axis and the second axis can extend infinitely in the corresponding linear direction. The symmetry plane may also extend infinitely in the corresponding plane.

The puller member swing arm 15' has a second surface 152 facing the drive member 6 and abutting the drive member 6.

Referring to fig. 11A, when the door latch is in the initial locked state, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position due to the initial position of the control member 4. In this state, the driving member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15' are both in the initial position with respect to the base body 11.

When the control member 4 is driven by the rotary motor 5 to leave its initial position, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to the elastic deformation is slowly released, and the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 can apply a pushing force to rotate the handle 1 from the initial closed position to the partially open position. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to the partially open position, the projection B1 or B2 of the handle 1 contacts the driving member 6, and the force applied to the handle 1 by the driving member 6 together with the force applied to the handle 1 by the handle opening spring 8 allows the handle 1 to be held in the partially open position. In the state when the handle 1 is in the partially open position, the drive member return spring 7 is still, for example, in a less elastically deformed state, the drive member 6 and the traction member swing arm 15' are still both in the initial position with respect to the base body 11 (see, for example, fig. 11A);

when a person can conveniently pull the handle 1 to further rotate about the pivot axle 10 to the fully open position, the first projection B1 of the handle 1 contacts and pushes the drive member 6 to rotate about the second axis a2 while the second projection B2 of the handle 1 does not contact the drive member 6. During this rotation of the drive member 6, the drive member 6 can remain in abutment with the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15 'and can slide on the second surface 152, thereby urging the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate about the first axis a1 toward the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to a first unlocked position relative to the base body 11 (see fig. 11B). During the process that the pulling member swing arm 15 'is driven from the initial position to the first unlocking position, the pulling wire 171 is effectively pulled by the pulling member swing arm 15' to generate enough movement so as to unlock the door lock body; in the state shown in fig. 11B, the driving member return spring 7 is in a large elastically deformed state.

After the towing member swing arm 15' reaches the first unlocking position to unlock the door latch, the human hand may release the handle 1 and the pushing force of the first protrusion B1 of the handle 1 on the driving member 6 disappears. At the same time, the drive member 6 rotates counterclockwise about the second axis a2 to the initial position under the drive of the drive member return spring 7, such that the pushing force exerted by the drive member 6 on the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15 'disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15' rotates back to the corresponding initial position about the first axis a1, for example, under the pulling force of the traction member assembly 17 on the wire 171.

In the above, referring to fig. 9 to 11B, the unlocking process of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the third embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation manner (the pulling member swing arm 15' is installed at the side of the driving member 6 near the first edge E1, the upper end portion of the driving member 6 is installed on the bottom portion 111 of the base body 11 biased toward the first edge E1 of the base body 11 at the second axis a2, and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed at the second edge E2 of the base body 11) is described.

It can be understood that the control device for a vehicle door latch provided by the third embodiment of the present disclosure may be in the second installation manner shown in fig. 11C, that is, the pulling member swing arm 15 'is installed at one side of the driving member 6' near the second edge E2, the upper end of the driving member 6 is installed on the bottom 111 of the base body 11 biased toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 at the second axis a2, and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed at the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when the handle 1 is rotated by manually applying an external force by a human, the second projection B2 of the handle 1 contacts and pushes the driving member 6 to rotate about the second axis. During this rotation of the drive member 6, the drive member 6 can remain in abutment with the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15 'and slide on the second surface 152, thereby urging the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate about the first axis a1 toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to a second unlocked position relative to the base body 11 (see fig. 11C). In the process that the traction member swing arm 15 'is driven from the initial position to the second unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the pull wire 171 to generate enough movement so as to realize the unlocking of the door lock body; in the state shown in fig. 11C, the driving member return spring 7 is in a large elastically deformed state. It will be appreciated that the state of the traction member swing arm 15' shown in fig. 11B and 11C in the first and second unlocked positions relative to the base body 11 may correspond to the state of the handle 1 in the fully open position.

After the towing member swing arm 15' reaches the second unlocking position to unlock the door latch, the human hand may release the handle 1 and the pushing force of the second protrusion B2 of the handle 1 on the driving member 6 disappears. At the same time, the drive member 6 is rotated clockwise about the second axis a2 under the drive of the drive member return spring 7, such that the pushing force exerted by the drive member 6 on the second surface 152 of the traction member swing arm 15 'disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15' rotates back to the corresponding initial position about the first axis a1, for example, under the pulling force of the pulling member assembly 17 on the wire.

Fourth embodiment

Referring to fig. 12 to 15C, a lock body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

Fig. 12 is an exploded view of a lock body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 12, the door latch control device includes: the device comprises a handle 1 ', a switch 2, a sealing rubber strip 3, a control component 4, a rotating motor 5, a driving component 6', a driving component return spring 7 ', a handle opening spring 8, a shaft sleeve 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotating shaft 12, a clamping ring 13, a traction component swing arm 15', a buckle 16, a traction component assembly 17 and a traction component fixing frame 18.

The semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure is different from the semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the second embodiment of the present disclosure mainly in that the driving member 6 "is rotatably connected to the handle rotating shaft 10, and the end of the driving member 6" away from the handle rotating shaft 10 pushes the pulling member swinging arm 15' to rotate by rotating around the handle rotating shaft 10. The following description will be made mainly of the features of the latch body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door provided in the fourth embodiment which are different from those of the latch body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door provided in the second embodiment, and the features of the members which are not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the members of the same reference numerals or shapes of the latch body control device for a semiautomatic vehicle door provided in the second embodiment.

In this embodiment, the swing arm drive assembly includes, for example: a handle 1' and a drive member 6 ".

Referring to fig. 13A and 13B, the drive member 6 "has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the driving member 6 ″ is located on the back side of the bottom 111 of the base body 11 through the strip-shaped through hole of the bottom 111 of the base body 11. The drive member 6 "is rotatably mounted at a second end on the handle spindle 10. The drive member 6 "is rotated about the handle spindle 10 such that its first end portion can move back and forth along a second path between opposite ends of the strip-shaped through hole. The drive member 6 "is not located on the first axis a1, for example. The drive member return spring 7 "has one end connected to the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and the other end connected to the drive member 6", so that the drive member 6 "can have the first end at the first end of the strip-shaped through hole near the first axis a1 in the initial position.

The puller member swing arm 15' has a first surface 151 facing the drive member 6 "and a second surface 152.

Referring to fig. 15A, when the door latch body is in the initial locked state, the handle 1' is in the initial closed position due to the initial position of the control member 4. The handle opening spring 8 is connected at one end to the base body 11 or the drive member 6 "and at the other end abuts against the handle 1'. In this state, the handle opening spring 8 is in a large elastically deformed state, and the drive member return spring 7 ″ is in a small elastically deformed state, for example. In the state shown in fig. 15A, when the door latch body is in the initial locked state, the driving member 6 ″ and the pulling member swing arm 15' are both in the initial positions with respect to the base body 11; when the puller member swing arm 15 'is in the initial position, the first surface 151 of the puller member swing arm 15' is located on the second path of the first end of the drive member 6 ".

In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: a control member 4, a rotating electrical machine 5, a drive member 6 "and a handle opening spring 8.

When the control member 4 is driven by the rotary motor 5 to leave its initial position, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to the elastic deformation is slowly released so that the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting against the handle 1 'can exert a pushing force to rotate the handle 1' from the initial closed position to the partially open position. For example, when the handle 1 ' is once and pushed to a partially open position, the handle 1 ' contacts the driving member 6 ", and the force exerted by the driving member 6" on the handle 1 ' together with the force exerted by the handle opening spring 8 on the handle 1 ' allows the handle 1 ' to be held in the partially open position. In the state when the handle 1 is in the partially open position, the drive member return spring 7 "is still, for example, in a less elastically deformed state, the drive member 6" and the traction member swing arm 15' are still both in the initial position with respect to the base body 11 (see, for example, fig. 15A);

during the process when a person can conveniently pull the handle 1 to further rotate about the axis of rotation 10 to the fully open position, the end of the handle 1 contacts and pushes the drive member 6 "to rotate about the handle axis of rotation 10 and thereby push the first end of the drive member 6" to move from the first end of the bar through hole near the first axis a1 to the second end away from the first axis a 1. During this rotation of the drive member 6 ", the first end of the drive member 6" can remain in abutment with the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15 'and slide on the first surface 151, thereby urging the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate about the first axis a1 toward the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to a first unlocked position relative to the base body 11 (see fig. 15B). During the process that the pulling member swing arm 15 'is driven from the initial position to the first unlocking position, the pulling wire 171 is effectively pulled by the pulling member swing arm 15' to generate enough movement so as to unlock the door lock body; in the state shown in fig. 15B, the driving member return spring 7 ″ is in a large elastically deformed state.

After the towing member swing arm 15' reaches the first unlocking position to unlock the door latch, the handle 1 can be released by the human hand and the pushing force exerted by the handle 1 on the driving member 6 ″ disappears. At the same time, the second end of the driving member 6 "is moved along a second path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole, distant from the first axis a1, towards the first end close to said first axis a1, driven by the driving member return spring 7", so that the pushing force exerted by the driving member 6 "on the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15 'disappears, and the traction member swing arm 15' rotates back around the first axis a1 to the corresponding initial position, for example under the pulling force of the traction member assembly 17 on the pulling wire 171.

In the above, with reference to fig. 12 to 15B, the unlocking process of the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure in the first installation mode (the pulling member swing arm 15' is installed at the side of the driving member 6 ″ close to the first edge E1, and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed at the second edge E2 of the base body 11) is described.

It is understood that the control device of the vehicle door lock body provided by the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure may be in the second installation mode shown in fig. 15C, that is, the pulling member swing arm 15' is installed at the side of the driving member 6 ″ near the second edge E2 and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed at the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, when the handle 1 is rotated by a human manually applying an external force, the handle 1 contacts and pushes the second end of the driving member 6 ″ to move from the first end of the strip-shaped through hole close to the first axis a1 to the second end far from the first axis a 1. During this movement of the drive member 6 ", the drive member 6" can remain in abutment with the first surface 151 of the traction member swing arm 15 'and slide on the first surface 151, thereby urging the traction member swing arm 15' to rotate about the first axis a1 toward the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to a second unlocked position relative to the base body 11 (see fig. 15C). In the process that the traction member swing arm 15 'is driven from the initial position to the second unlocking position, the traction member swing arm 15' effectively pulls the pull wire 171 to generate enough movement so as to realize the unlocking of the door lock body; in the state shown at 15C, the driving member return spring 7 ″ is in a large elastically deformed state. It will be appreciated that the state of the traction member swing arm 15' shown in fig. 15B and 15C in the first and second unlocked positions relative to the base body 11 may correspond to the state of the handle 1 in the fully open position.

After the towing member swing arm 15' reaches the second unlocking position to unlock the door latch, the handle 1 can be released by the human hand and the pushing force exerted by the handle 1 on the driving member 6 ″ disappears. At the same time, the first end of the driving member 6 "moves along a second path from the second end of the strip-shaped through hole, far from the first axis a1, to the first end close to said first axis a1 under the drive of the driving member return spring 7", so that the pushing force exerted by the driving member 6 "on the first surface 151 of the pulling member swing arm 15 'disappears, and the pulling member swing arm 15' rotates around the first axis a1 back to the corresponding initial position, for example under the pulling force of the pulling member assembly 17 on the pulling wire 171.

In this embodiment, the handle 1' does not have the two protrusions B1 and B2 separately provided as the handle 1 in the other embodiments. It will be appreciated that the number and form of the protrusions of the handle 1 'at the end near the drive member 6 "are not limited in this embodiment, as long as the drive member 6" can be effectively pushed by the handle 1'. In another example, drive member 6 "is integrally formed with the handle (i.e., handle 1 is fixedly connected to drive member 6"); in this case, the drive member return spring 7' may be omitted.

Fifth embodiment

Referring to fig. 16 to 18C, a full-manual vehicle door lock body control device provided by a fifth embodiment of the disclosure is described in detail below.

Fig. 16 is an exploded view of a control device for a door lock body of a fully manual vehicle according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 16, the door latch control device includes: the handle comprises a handle 1, a manual button 2 ', a sealing rubber strip 3, a control component 4 ', a driving component 6, a driving component return spring 7, a handle return spring 8 ', a shaft sleeve 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a fixing pin 14, a pulling component swing arm 15, a buckle 16, a pulling component assembly 17, a pulling component fixing frame 18, a lock cylinder 19, an end cover 20, a button return spring 21, a button rotating shaft 22, a transmission component 23, an end cover fixing shaft 24, a control component return spring 25, a control component rotating shaft 26, a transmission component return spring 27 and a transmission component rotating shaft 28.

The difference between the fully-manual vehicle door lock body control device provided by the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure and the semiautomatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure mainly lies in: the relative means and manner of actuation for actuating the handle from the initial closed position to the partially open position are different. The fully manual car door lock body control device replaces the motor 5 in the semi-automatic car door lock body control device in the embodiment with a set of mechanical components, and the function of the motor 5 is replaced by the set of mechanical components. With respect to the structure and process of manually rotating the handle from the partially open position to the fully open position to effect unlocking, a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a fully manual latch body control device that is substantially identical to the semi-automatic latch body control device provided by the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The following description will be made mainly of the features of the fully manual door lock body control device provided in the fifth embodiment which are different from those of the semiautomatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment, and the features of the members which are not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the members of the same reference numerals or shapes of the semiautomatic door lock body control device provided in the first embodiment.

In the all-hand-operated vehicle door latch body control device provided in the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, the button rotary shaft 22, the transmission member rotary shaft 28, and the control member rotary shaft 26 are respectively connected and positioned to different positions of the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11. The relative positions of the button spindle 22, the transmission member spindle 28 and the control member spindle 26 are for example fixed. The manual button 2 ', the transmission member 23 and the control member 4' are respectively rotatably sleeved on the button rotating shaft 22, the transmission member rotating shaft 28 and the control member rotating shaft 26.

Referring to fig. 18A, the end cap 20 is attached to, for example, the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 to cover the gap between the manual button 2 'and the handle 1 and to restrict the position of the manual button 2'. The button return spring 21 is further fitted over the end cap fixing shaft 24, for example. One end of the button return spring 21 is connected to the side wall portion 112 of the base body 11 or the cap 20, and the other end of the button return spring 21 is connected to or abuts against the manual button 2 'to hold the manual button 2' at the initial position. When the manual push-button 2 'and the handle 1 are in their respective initial positions, the outer surface of the manual push-button 2' is substantially coplanar with the outer surface of the handle 1. When the manual button 2 ' is driven by external force to rotate around the button rotating shaft 22 towards the bottom 111 of the base body 11 and leave from its initial position, the button return spring 21 is pressed to be elastically deformed, and once the manual button 2 ' is released again, the elastically deformed button return spring 21 can push the manual button 2 ' to return to its initial position.

Referring to fig. 18A, a transmission member return spring 27 is fitted over the transmission member shaft 28. One end of the driving member return spring 27 is connected to or abuts against the bottom 111 of the base body 11, and the other end of the driving member return spring 27 is caught at a fixed position of the driving member 23 to hold the driving member 23 at an initial position. When the transmission member 23 is driven to rotate around the transmission member rotating shaft 28 toward the bottom 111 of the base body 11 away from its initial position, the transmission member return spring 27 is pressed to be elastically deformed, and once the transmission member 23 is released again, the elastically deformed transmission member return spring 27 can push the transmission member 23 to return to its initial position.

Referring to fig. 18A, the control member return spring 25 is fitted over the control member shaft 26. One end of the control member return spring 25 is caught in a fixed position of the control member 4 ', and one end of the control member return spring 25 is, for example, in a less elastically deformed state when the control member 4' is in its initial position. When the control member 4 ' is driven to rotate about the transmission member rotation shaft 28 towards the bottom 111 of the base body 11 away from its initial position, the control member return spring 25 is pressed to be elastically deformed, and once the control member 4 ' is released again, the elastically deformed control member return spring 25 can push the control member 4 ' back to its initial position.

The handle return spring 8' is sleeved on the handle rotating shaft 10. One end of a handle return spring 8 'is inserted in a slot at the upper end of the drive block 6, and the other end of the handle return spring 8' abuts or is connected to the handle.

Referring to fig. 18A, a recess 41 is provided on a side of the control member 4 'facing the transmission member 23, and a protrusion 42 is provided on a side of the control member 4' facing the stopper groove T of the handle. In another example, the side of the control member 4' facing the transmission member 23 and the side facing away from the transmission member 23 are symmetrically provided with recesses 41; the control member 4 ' is symmetrically provided with two protrusions 42 on one side facing the handle's retaining groove T and on the other side facing away from the handle's retaining groove T. Such a symmetrical design may facilitate the versatility of the control member 4' in two different installation states, and more facilitate the versatility of the left and right doors of the vehicle door latch body control device.

Referring to fig. 17, the handle 1 in the present embodiment is further provided with grooves T on the first projection B1 and the second projection B2, configured to restrict rotation of the handle 1 together with the protrusion 42 of the control member 4' to hold the handle 1 in the partially opened position, as compared with the handle 1 in the first embodiment. Two separate stopper grooves T may be symmetrically disposed with respect to each other.

Fig. 18A to 18C are schematic diagrams illustrating a process of unlocking a lock body of a fully manual vehicle door lock body control device according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure, the process being performed via a pre-opening state of the door lock body. In fig. 18A, the door latch is in an initial latched state; in fig. 18B, the door latch is in a pre-open state (the door latch is still locked at this time); in fig. 18C, the door latch is in the unlocked state.

In this embodiment, the handle control assembly includes, for example: control member 4 ', manual button 2', transmission member 23 and spacing groove T.

Referring to fig. 18A, the handle 1 is in the initial closed position when the door latch is in the initial latched state. Since the control member 4 'abuts on the end of the handle 1 near the control member 4' at the initial position, the handle 1 cannot be rotated about the handle rotation shaft 10, but is restricted to the initial closed position, and the handle cannot be opened by an external force. In the state shown in fig. 18A, the handle return spring 8 'and the drive member return spring 7 are, for example, both in a small elastically deformed state, the drive member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 are both in the initial positions with respect to the base body 11, and the projection 42 of the control arm 4' is located in the stopper groove T of the handle 1.

Referring to fig. 18A and 18B, when the push button switch 2 'is pressed by a hand, the push button switch 2' is rotated clockwise about the button rotary shaft 22. During this rotation, the push-button switch 2 'first pushes the transmission member 23 clockwise around the transmission member rotation axis 28, and the transmission member 23 simultaneously pushes the control member 4' clockwise around the control member rotation axis 26 away from its initial position, so that the push-button switch 2 'can further press the end of the handle 1 close to the push-button switch 2' to make the handle 1 counterclockwise rotate around the handle rotation axis 10 to reach a partially open position; the end of the transmission member 23 slides on the control member 4 'during the process in which the transmission member 23 pushes the control member 4' to rotate clockwise about the control member rotation axis 26 away from its initial position. When this end of the transmission member 23 slides into the recess 41 of the control member 4 ', the relative position of the transmission member 23 and the control member 4' is locked, see fig. 18B.

In the process of clockwise rotation of the control member 4 'from its initial position to the restricting position in fig. 18B, the protrusion 42 of the control member 4' moves along the stopper groove T of the handle 1 in a direction approaching the handle rotation shaft 10, thereby driving the handle 1 to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially open position. The projections 42 of the control member 4 'and the retaining grooves T of the handle may be dimensioned to cooperate with each other such that the relative positions of the control member 4' and the handle 1 are in a one-to-one correspondence over a range of positions. That is, when the control member 4' is at a certain position of the range of positions, the handle 1 is correspondingly at a preset position. In this way, the position of the handle 1 can be controlled by controlling the position of the control member 4'. In the present embodiment, the protrusion 42 of the control member 4 'and the stopper groove T of the handle 1 and the push switch 2' simultaneously serve as a handle control assembly to drive and hold the handle 1 in the partially open position, but the manner of driving and stopping the handle 1 is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the handle 1 can be driven and limited by adopting other forms of handle control assemblies through the self-locking principle of mechanical parts and the moment balance principle, so that the handle can be controllably kept at the closed position, the partial opening position and the full opening position.

In the state shown in fig. 18B, due to the presence of the first interlocking structure (the recessed portion 41 of the control member 4 ' and the end portion of the transmission member 23 fitted to each other) and the second interlocking structure (the protruding portion 42 of the control member 4 ' and the recess T of the handle fitted to each other), if the push switch 2 ' is released by a human hand, the push switch 2 ' returns to its original position under the urging of the push-button return spring 21, while the transmission member 23 and the control member 4 ' and the handle 1 remain at the corresponding positions shown in fig. 18B. Therefore, the door lock body can be operated by one hand conveniently to realize the pre-opening state and the unlocking state of the door lock body.

In this embodiment, the handle return spring 8' is elastically deformed during the process of the handle 1 moving from its initial position to the partially opened position. In the state of the handle 1 in the partially open position shown in fig. 18B, the handle return spring 8' is in a more elastically deformed state, the drive member return spring 7 is still in a less elastically deformed state, for example, and both the drive member 6 and the pulling member swing arm 15 are still in the initial position relative to the base body 11;

in the present embodiment, after the door latch is in the pre-open state and the handle 1 is in the partially open state, the manual pulling of the handle 1 further achieves the unlocking process of the door latch and the subsequent process of releasing the handle 1 back to its initial closed position, which are substantially the same as the corresponding processes described with reference to fig. 4C, 5B and 5C in the first embodiment. In this process, the fifth embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in that: when the handle 1 rotates from the partially open position to the fully open position, the control member 4' and the transmission member 23 are pushed to release the relative position locking state, the transmission member 23 returns to the initial position under the pushing of the transmission member return spring 27, and the control member return spring 25 is elastically deformed; when the handle 1 is released, the handle 1 is rotated from the fully open position to its initial closed position under the urging of the handle return spring 8 ', while the control member 4' is returned to its initial position under the urging of the control member return spring 25.

Although in the above-mentioned solution of the fifth embodiment, the manual button 2 'is rotated by itself to drive the transmission member 23 and the control member 4' to rotate and further drive the handle 1 to rotate from the initial closed position to the partially opened position, the control device of the fully manual door lock body provided by the fifth embodiment is not limited thereto.

In another example of the all-manual door latch control device provided in the fifth embodiment, the transmission member 23 'and the control member 4 ″ can be driven to rotate by the movement of the manual button 2' to drive the handle 1 to rotate from the initial closed position to the partial open position. In this example, the manual button 2 ', the transmission member 23 and the control member 4', and the handle return spring 8 'in the above embodiment are replaced with the manual button 2 ", the transmission member 23', the control member 4", and the handle opening spring. In this case, the handle control assembly includes, for example: manual button 2 ", transmission member 23', control member 4", drive member 6 and handle opening spring. The handle opening spring in this example may be the handle opening spring 8 described in any of the above embodiments.

Referring to fig. 19A and 19B, the manual button 2 ″ is connected to the base body 11 by a spring 40. Under the action of external force, the manual button 2 ″ can move linearly back and forth, for example, in a direction perpendicular to the bottom 111 of the base body 11. By pressing the manual button 2 "to move it downwards, the end of the manual button 2" closest to the transmission member 23 'may push the transmission member 23' to rotate around the transmission member rotation axis 28. In the process, the end of the transmission member 23' facing the control member 4 "slides on the surface of the control member 4" and pushes the control member 4 "to rotate away from its initial position. As the control member 4 "moves away from its initial position, the elastic potential energy stored in the handle opening spring 8 due to the elastic deformation is slowly released so that the end of the handle opening spring 8 abutting the handle 1 can exert a pushing force so that the handle 1 rotates from the initial closed position toward the partially opened position. For example, when the handle 1 is pushed to a partially open position, the end of the handle 1 directly contacts the driving member 6, and the force applied to the handle 1 by the driving member 6 together with the force applied to the handle 1 by the handle opening spring 8 allows the handle 1 to be held in the partially open position. During the simultaneous rotation of the transmission member 23 'and the control member 4 ", the end of the transmission member 23' enters the recess of the control member 4". With the end of the transmission member 23 'located in the recess of the control member 4 ", the relative positions of the transmission member 23' and the control member 4" are locked, at which time the handle 1 can still be held in this partially open position. It is possible to effect a rotation of the handle 1 from the above-mentioned initial closed position to the above-mentioned partially open position.

Sixth embodiment

Referring to fig. 20 to 22C, a fully automatic vehicle door lock body control device according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

Fig. 20 is an exploded view of a control device for a lock body of a fully automatic vehicle door according to a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 20, the door latch control device includes: the device comprises a handle 1 ', a switch 2, a sealing rubber strip 3, a rotating motor 5, a driving component 34, a handle return spring 8 ', a shaft sleeve 9, a handle rotating shaft 10, a base body 11, a swing arm rotating shaft 12, a clamping ring 13, a traction component swing arm 15 ', a buckle 16, a traction component assembly 17, a traction component fixing frame 18 and a mechanical arm 35.

The difference between the full-automatic vehicle door lock body control device provided by the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure and the vehicle door lock body control device provided by the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure mainly lies in: the handle 1 "is not in the partially open position and the fully open position but is always in the closed position; the door lock body is not in a pre-opening state; and a rotary motor 5 and drive member 34 for controlling rotation of the puller member swing arm 15 ". The full-automatic vehicle door lock body control device mainly replaces related components which are matched with hands in a semi-automatic vehicle door lock body control device or a full-manual vehicle door lock body control device to realize unlocking by a motor. The features of the components of the full-manual vehicle door latch body control device provided by the sixth embodiment that are different from the components of the vehicle door latch body control device provided by the above-described embodiment will be mainly described below, and the features of the components that are not described are substantially the same as the corresponding features of the components of the same reference numbers or shapes of the components of the vehicle door latch body control device provided by the above-described embodiment.

Referring to fig. 21A and 21B, the puller member swing arm 15 "is connected to the bottom of the base body 11 and is rotatable about a first axis a 1. The rotary motor 5 is, for example, fixedly mounted to the bottom of the base body 11, and the rotary shaft of the rotary motor 5 passes through the bottom of the base body 11. The drive member 34 is directly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating electrical machine 5 on the back side of the bottom of the base body 11 and is rotatable about the second axis a2 in synchronization with the rotating shaft of the rotating electrical machine 5. The robot arm 35 may be disposed at a side of the rotating motor 5 away from the bottom of the base body 11, and the robot arm 35 is directly connected to the rotation shaft of the rotating motor 5. The rotation of the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5 can be controlled by operating the robot arm 35.

The following describes a process of controlling the locked and unlocked states of the door latch by the fully automatic door latch control device according to the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to fig. 22A to 22C.

In this embodiment, the swing arm drive assembly includes, for example: a rotary motor 5 and a drive member 34.

Referring to fig. 22A and 22B, the control device of the vehicle door latch provided by the sixth embodiment of the present disclosure is configured such that in the first installation mode, the pull member swing arm 15 ″ is located on a side of the control member 34 close to the first edge E1 of the base body 11 and the pull member assembly 17 is fixed to the second edge E2 of the base body 11. Fig. 22A shows a state in which both the control member 34 and the pulling member swing arm 15 "are in their initial positions, with the door latch body in a locked state. In this case, the rotary motor 5, after receiving the activation signal from the switch 2, drives the rotation of its spindle, which in turn rotates the control member 34 counterclockwise and pushes the pulling member swing arm 15 ″ towards the first edge E1 of the base body 11 to rotate to the first unlocking position with respect to the base body 11. The pulling of the pull wire 171 by the pulling member swing arm 15 "in effect in the first unlocked position produces sufficient movement to effect unlocking of the door latch. The rotary motor 5 drives its rotary shaft to rotate in reverse after receiving the off signal from the switch 2, so that the rotary shaft drives the control member 34 to rotate clockwise to its initial position, and the pulling member swing arm 15 ″ returns to its initial position under the pulling of the pulling wire 171.

Referring to fig. 22C, the control device of the vehicle door lock body according to the sixth embodiment of the disclosure is configured in the second installation mode, the pulling member swinging arm 15 ″ is located on the side of the control member 34 close to the second edge E1 of the base body 11, and the pulling member assembly 17 is fixed to the first edge E1 of the base body 11. In this case, the rotary motor 5, after receiving the activation signal from the switch 2, drives its rotation shaft to rotate, which carries the control member 34 to rotate clockwise and pushes the pulling member swing arm 15 "to rotate towards the second edge E2 of the base body 11 to be in the second unlocking position with respect to the base body 11. The pulling of the pull wire 171 by the pulling member swing arm 15 "in effect in the second unlocked position produces sufficient movement to effect unlocking of the door latch. The rotary motor 5 drives its rotary shaft to rotate in reverse after receiving an off signal from the switch 2, for example, so that the rotary shaft drives the control member 34 to rotate counterclockwise to its initial position, and the traction member swing arm 15 ″ returns to its initial position under the pull of the pull wire 171.

The operation process of the control device of the fully automatic door lock body provided by the embodiment in the normal mode is described above. If the rotating motor 5 fails and cannot automatically control the rotation of the rotating shaft, the desired rotation of the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 5 can be achieved by manually operating the robot arm 35 by uncovering the handle 1 ".

It will be appreciated that in another example, the handle 1 "may be a cover of the same material and colour as the door shell. The presence of the cover is intended to operate the robot arm 35 in an emergency situation. In yet another example, the cover is not necessary, and the control device of the door lock body is installed below the door case, and the control device of the door lock body cannot be seen from the outside of the door.

Seventh embodiment
