Detailed Description

The present application will be further described with reference to the specific embodiments, and it should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, new embodiments may be formed by any combination of the embodiments or technical features described below.

In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, for the azimuth terms such as terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., the azimuth and positional relationships are based on the azimuth or positional relationships shown in the drawings, it is merely for convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and it is not to be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of the present application that the device or element referred to must have a specific azimuth configuration and operation, as indicated or implied.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.

One aspect of the present application provides an automatic tolerance adjuster, as shown in fig. 1-5, one of which is a preferred embodiment, including a base 100, an adjustment stud 300, and an adjustment bolt 400. The base 100 may be connected to the door handle, and meanwhile, the base 100 and the adjusting stud 300 may be cooperatively connected through a traction structure, so that the base 100 may move along with the adjusting stud 300 through the traction structure during the movement of the adjusting stud 300. The adjusting bolt 400 may pass through the adjusting stud 300 and be connected with the door outer panel, and a flange of the adjusting bolt 400 may abut against the adjusting stud 300. When the door handle is installed, the adjusting bolt 400 can drive the adjusting stud 300 to move in the Y direction through the traction structure by abutting the flange against the adjusting stud 300 in the screwing process, so as to automatically adjust the tolerance of the door handle in the Y direction.

It will be appreciated that the adjustment bolt 400 may be moved in the X, Y and Z directions. The X direction refers to the front-rear direction along the vehicle body, the Y direction refers to the width direction along the vehicle body, and the Z direction refers to the height direction of the vehicle body. So that the automatic tolerance adjuster can be laterally arranged so that the axial direction of the adjusting bolt 400 coincides with the Y direction described above when the installation of the door handle is performed.

It should be noted that the conventional tolerance adjuster is used in which the adjusting bolt 400 is directly coupled to the door outer panel through the base 100; that is, in use, the base 100 will move in the Y direction in synchronization with the adjustment bolt 400. Thus, in performing the installation of the door handle, the conventional tolerance regulator has the following two installation conditions.

In the first case, the adjusting bolt 400 is screwed to the door outer panel so that the base 100 directly contacts the door outer panel. When there is a Y-directional gap between the door handle and the door outer panel, the Y-directional gap adjustment of the door handle cannot be achieved due to the direct fixation of the adjusting bolt 400 and the door outer panel and the abutment of the base 100 and the door outer panel.

In the second case, the adjusting bolt 400 is screwed to the door outer panel, but a gap exists between the base 100 and the door outer panel, so that when a Y-direction gap exists between the door handle and the door outer panel, the Y-direction gap between the door handle and the door outer panel can be adjusted by continuously rotating the adjusting bolt 400 to change the gap between the base 100 and the door outer panel. However, since there is a gap between the base 100 and the door outer panel, the adjusting bolt 400 cannot be tightened, and thus the adjusting bolt 400 is easily loosened during use.

In this application, however, the tightening process of the adjusting bolt 400 includes a first process and a second process when the installation of the door handle is performed. In the first process, the adjusting bolt 400 is screwed, and in the screwing process of the adjusting bolt 400, the adjusting bolt 400 is in abutting fit with the adjusting stud 300 until the adjusting bolt 400 is screwed relative to the adjusting stud 300. In the second process, if the door handle has a gap in the Y direction, the screwing of the adjusting bolt 400 is continued, so that the stud 300 and the base 100 are adjusted to be abutted against each other by the traction structure to drive the base 100 to move in the Y direction, and the Y-direction gap of the door handle in the mounting process is eliminated.

In this application, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the traction structure includes a traction groove 310 and a traction block 111 that are slidably engaged with each other; there are a variety of specific arrangements of the traction structure including, but not limited to, the two types described below.

In the first arrangement, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the traction groove 310 is provided on the outer side wall of the adjustment stud 300, and the traction block 111 is provided on the inner side wall of the base 100.

In the second embodiment, the traction block 111 is disposed on the outer sidewall of the adjustment stud 300, and the traction groove 310 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the base 100.

It can be understood that the first setting mode and the second setting mode can meet the use requirement; since it is inconvenient to process the groove on the inner side wall of the base 100, the first arrangement mode described above may be preferably adopted in the present application. Therefore, during the installation process of the door handle, along with the screwing of the adjusting bolt 400, the adjusting stud 300 can synchronously move along the Y direction along with the adjusting bolt 400, and further, the traction groove 310 and the traction block 111 are abutted to drive the base 100 to move along the Y direction.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the traction groove 310 and the traction block 111 may be disposed obliquely or spirally. So that the movement of the adjustment stud 300 with respect to the base 100 can be decomposed into movement in the axial direction and rotation around the axial direction during the Y-direction movement of the adjustment stud 400; the movement of the adjusting stud 300 along the axial direction can drive the base 100 to move in the Y direction, so as to adjust the gap in the Y direction of the door handle.

It will be appreciated that the specific number of traction grooves 310 and traction blocks 111 is at least one, but in order to ensure smooth movement between the base 100 and the adjustment stud 300, the number of traction grooves 310 and traction blocks 111 may be set to be plural. Meanwhile, for convenience of description of the following, the traction groove 310 and the traction block 111 are each exemplified by a spiral arrangement.

For convenience of understanding, a process of automatically adjusting the Y-direction gap during the door handle installation will be described in detail.

(1) The base 100 is fixedly coupled to the door handle.

(2) The adjusting stud 300 is correspondingly matched with the traction block 111 arranged on the inner side wall of the base 100 in a sliding way through the traction groove 310 arranged on the outer side wall.

(3) The threaded section of the adjusting bolt 400 is threaded through the adjusting stud 300 and is screwed with the door outer panel.

(4) The adjusting bolt 400 is screwed by a tool such as a wrench, and the adjusting bolt 400 moves axially until the flange of the adjusting bolt 400 abuts against the adjusting stud 300 during screwing of the adjusting bolt 400.

(5) The screwing of the adjustment bolt 400 is then continued until a sufficient friction force is generated between the flange lower end of the adjustment bolt 400 and the adjustment stud 300 to ensure that the adjustment bolt 400 is screwed relative to the adjustment stud 300. In this process, the adjusting stud 300 is spirally slid along the traction block 111 of the base 100 through the traction groove 310; since the screw angle of the traction groove 310 and the traction block 111 is larger than that of the screw section of the adjusting bolt 400, the moving speed of the adjusting stud 300 along the axial direction is smaller than that of the adjusting bolt 400 in the process of screw rotation of the adjusting stud 300; so that the contact between the adjustment stud 300 and the adjustment stud 400 is more tight as the adjustment stud 400 is screwed in until the relative movement between the adjustment stud 400 and the adjustment stud 300 is changed to synchronous movement; i.e. the adjusting bolt 400 is screwed with respect to the adjusting stud 300.

At this time, the actual installation requirement, namely the clearance in the Y direction, is generally not met between the door handle and the outer door plate; therefore, the adjusting bolt 400 can be continuously screwed in, so that the adjusting bolt 400 and the adjusting stud 300 synchronously move, and the base 100 is driven to move in the Y direction, so that good matching installation between the door handle and the outer door panel is ensured.

In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, a through hole 320 is provided at the bottom of the adjusting stud 300, and a threaded section of the adjusting bolt 400 may be connected with the door outer panel through the through hole 320. And the diameter of the through hole 320 is larger than the diameter of the threaded section of the adjustment bolt 400 so that the adjustment bolt 400 is moved in the X and/or Z direction with respect to the adjustment stud 300 in an unthreaded state to effect adjustment of the door handle in the X and/or Z direction.

It will be appreciated that during installation of the door handle, gaps may occur in either, both or all three directions X, Y and Z. Therefore, in order to ensure the mounting efficiency and the mounting quality of the door handle, it is necessary to ensure that the automatic tolerance regulator of the present application can adjust the three directions X, Y and Z of the door handle. Since both the X and Z directions are in a plane perpendicular to the Z direction, it is only necessary to ensure that the adjustment bolt 400 is able to move relative to the adjustment stud 300 in a plane perpendicular to the Z direction.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the base 100 includes an adjustment area 110, and the traction groove 310 is disposed on an inner sidewall of the adjustment area 110; so that the adjustment stud 300 can engage the traction structure of the base 100 within the adjustment zone 110 when the door handle is installed.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, the base 100 further includes a sealing area 120, and the sealing area 120 is located at the front end of the adjustment area 110. The diameter of the sealing area 120 needs to be larger than the diameter of the adjusting area 110, so that after the adjusting stud 300 and the adjusting bolt 400 are both positioned in the adjusting area 110, the cover plate 200 can be installed in the sealing area 120 to limit the adjusting stud 300 and the adjusting bolt 400, and further the condition that the adjusting bolt 400 and/or the adjusting stud 300 are loosened in the using process of the door handle is avoided.

In the present embodiment, the cover plate 200 is mounted in various ways, including but not limited to the following two ways.

In the first installation mode, as shown in fig. 3 and 5, at least two clamping blocks 121 are disposed on the side portion of the sealing area 120, and the cover 200 can be engaged with the clamping blocks 121 through the side portion.

Specifically, in order to ensure the locking stability of the locking block 121 and the cover plate 200, the number of locking blocks 121 is preferably three, and the three locking blocks 121 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the side portion of the sealing area 120. The fixture block 121 is wedge to at the in-process of apron 200 installation, the lateral part of apron 200 can be along the inclined plane extrusion fixture block 121 of fixture block 121, so that fixture block 121 inclines to the direction that deviates from apron 200, when the inclined plane of fixture block 121 is crossed to apron 200, fixture block 121 can automatic re-setting, and then offset with the terminal surface of apron 200 through the plane that is located the inclined plane lower extreme, in order to guarantee that apron 200 can't remove in the Y direction, thereby apron 200 can carry out spacingly to adjusting stud 300 and adjusting bolt 400 in the Y direction.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the cover plate 200 includes a first limiting portion 210 and a second limiting portion 220; the first limiting portion 210 is annular, and the first limiting portion 210 can be engaged with the clamping block 121 through the side portion; meanwhile, after the door handle is mounted, the first limiting part 210 is opposite to the adjusting stud 300 in the Y direction, so that the adjusting stud 300 can be limited in the Y direction. The second limiting portion 220 is cylindrical, and the second limiting portion 220 is located in the middle of the first limiting portion 210 and extends toward the inside of the adjusting stud 300, so as to limit the adjusting bolt 400 in the Y direction.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, an opening is disposed in the middle of the second limiting portion 220, the direction of the opening is opposite to the adjusting bolt 400, and the size of the opening is smaller than the flange diameter of the adjusting bolt 400, so that when the adjusting bolt 400 is ensured to be limited by the second limiting portion 220, tools such as a wrench can be conveniently extended into the adjusting stud 300 along the opening of the second limiting portion 220 to realize screwing of the adjusting bolt 400.

It will be appreciated that since the tolerance generated during the installation of the door handle is different for each vehicle, there is a small gap of different sizes between the adjusting bolt 400 and the second limiting portion 220 of the cover plate 200 after the installation of the door handle is completed for each vehicle. With the use of the vehicle, the adjusting bolt 400 may be loosened slightly by the small gap, and the maintenance personnel may tighten the adjusting bolt 400 again through the opening formed in the second limiting portion 220, so that the cover plate 200 does not need to be disassembled.

Another aspect of the present application provides a vehicle comprising the automatic tolerance regulator described above.

The foregoing has outlined the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the embodiments described above, and that the embodiments and descriptions described herein are merely illustrative of the principles of the present application, and that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims.
