Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exterior door handle of an automobile.
- the style of cars has become one of the main factors of attractiveness and success, this invention relates to an exterior door handle which is both very practical in use and also has an external appearance opening up new possibilities for the style of cars. automobiles, especially the lateral style.
- the disadvantage of this invention is twofold: the angular stroke to actuate the handle is greater than 90 degrees which is inconvenient to use the gripping area is generally dirty because it is directly exposed to rain and projections like the rest of the body
- the disadvantage of this invention is that, with the vehicle stationary, the style and appearance of the exterior handle is not very rewarding.
- the invention presented here resolves the drawbacks of the inventions of the prior art and proposes an exterior handle for a car door with a particularly attractive style and which is very convenient to use.
- the object of the invention is to provide an exterior handle for a motor vehicle door, for a side door, tailgate or trunk, said door handle being provided with a door which retracts automatically when the handle is used.
- This gate is equipped with a sensor which detects the presence of the hand in front of the gate.
- the gate When the gate is at rest, it is closed.
- the gate is held in this position by an elastic spring return system.
- the system which retracts the gate can, for example, consist of a small electric motor, a pulley and a flexible cable which is wound around this pulley. The other end of the cable is attached to the support of the gate, another arrangement used to control the retraction movement will be described in the embodiment of the invention illustrated below.
- This gate system can be combined with either an electric opening control or a mechanical opening control.
- electrical opening control the user's fingers act on an electrical contactor, the control electronics then controls an electrical type lock of known type.
- the fingers act on a mechanical lever which acts on a cable which itself acts on a mechanical lock of known type.
- the sensor detects the presence of this hand and sends the information to the computer.
- the doors are already unlocked (case A /)
- the doors are locked and there is no authorization to unlock (case B /) or the doors are locked and authorization to unlock is present (case C /).
- Authorization to unlock is given by an electronic identifier carried by the user.
- the computer controls the opening of the door by exciting the electric motor coupled to the pulley around which the flexible cable is wound. Pulling this cable rotates the gate towards the inside of the handle. This frees the access space for the fingers of the hand of the user who can then actuate the opening command proper.
- the computer controls the retraction motor in the other direction and the gate closes.
- the detection triggers an attempt to recognize the identifier carried by the user.
- the computer does not perform any action and in particular does not control the retraction of the gate.
- the hand can force the gate to open because the connection with the retraction motor is flexible.
- the gate is returned to its rest position (closed). Even if the fingers actuate the opening command, the computer will not trigger the opening of the door because the lock remains locked.
- the computer controls the opening of the gate as well as the unlocking of the lock to authorize opening the door.
- the fingers actuate the opening command, the lock is released and the door opens.
- the computer controls the retraction motor in the other direction and the gate closes.

- FIG. 15 shows an axonometric view of the exterior door skin, seen from the interior of the door.
- Figure 16 shows an axonometric view of the housing (4).
- Figure 17 shows an axonometric view of the gate (1) and its support (12).
- the main purpose of one invention is to provide a car door handle system for a very rewarding style, including a lateral style. Indeed, when the system is at rest, the door has a uniform appearance and there appears no cavity or any projection.
- the visible part of the handle is simply a door (1) which is flush with the exterior skin of the door (2). This is illustrated in Figure FIG.2.
- This type of gate exists for access to the fuel filler flap on most recent vehicles.
- the door (1) is a plastic part, the same color as the skin of the door.
- the shape of the gate preferably matches the shape of the exterior door skin, so that the play of light on the whole of the door gives the appearance of a generally continuous and homogeneous surface.
- the gate retracts automatically when we approach the hand (3) or more generally any object at a distance from the gate of the order of 1 to 2 cm. This is illustrated in Figure FIG.l.
- the gate pivots about a longitudinal axis (Al) relative to the vehicle.
- the axis is located in the lower part of the gate.
- the retraction of the gate consists in pivoting the gate in the direction (21).
- FIG.3 illustrates the profile of the door handle system equipped with the automatic gate.
- the door (1) is shown in the closed position. It forms a surface in agreement with the exterior skin of the door (2).
- the entire system is supported by a casing (4) which is airtight in its upper part and hollowed out in its lower part (17).
- the housing (4) is fixed to the outer door skin.
- Behind the gate is a presence sensor (5) whose role is to detect the presence of an object facing the gate.
- This sensor can be optical or ultrasonic. In these 2 cases, for its effectiveness to be guaranteed, it must be flush with the surface of the gate, and therefore be visible from the outside.
- the senor will preferably be capacitive, of known type, which makes it possible to have a sensor completely hidden behind the gate and a uniform visual appearance from the outside of the gate.
- This sensor is located just behind the gate and its field of action is represented by the area (52).
- the gate is painted in the body color. Paints of a known type are generally metallized on modern vehicles. The paint being slightly conductive, the area of action of the capacitive sensor is thereby enlarged to the entire surface of the gate (52). Indeed, the effect of the capacity variation will occur as soon as an object approaches the gate, in any area of it.
- the gate is integral with the gate support (12). This pivots around the joint (Al) relative to the fixed casing (4).
- This support is generally in the form of a square.
- the cable (10) for traction which is the means by which the retraction takes place.
- This cable (10) passes through a guide system (16) and is wound around the pulley (18).
- This pulley is coupled to a small electric motor (7) which can operate in one direction or the other depending on the commands which are sent by the computer (6).
- the door opening control (8) which, in the electric version as shown in FIG. 3, is a contactor for elongated shape which can be actuated by one of the user's fingers.
- the user's hand (3) is shown in the position where the detection of the sensor will be triggered. Indeed, the external part (30) of the finger enters the action zone of the sensor.
- the computer (6) contains the control means and the associated logic. It is connected to the presence sensor (5) by the link
- the computer is also connected to the door opening control (8) by the link (86).
- the computer (6) controls the retraction motor (7) by the link (76) by a conventional two-way control scheme.
- the computer (6) is also connected to an antenna system (61) for communication with the identifier (62) by the link (60). Finally, the computer controls the lock (9e), of known type, which unlocks the door by the link (96).
- FIG.4 shows the system with the gate in the retracted position.
- the gate (1) is in abutment on the area (19) of the part (13).
- the return spring (lift-) undergoes an elongation and exerts a return force.
- the cable (10) pulls on the support (12), the motor and the pulley having wound up part of the cable.
- the front part (31) of the user's finger activates the door opening control switch (8).
- FIG.5 shows a manual action on the gate without retracting control.
- the cable relaxes and the additional length is below the guide piece (16).
- the cable cannot exit from the groove of the pulley (18).
- FIG.6 shows the system with a mechanical version of the door opener.
- the gate size and the size of the upper area of the housing (4) must be greater.
- the fingers of the user do not actuate a contactor but a mechanical rocker (40) which oscillates around the axis (A2).
- the fingers pull on the area (43) of the rocker (40).
- the cable (46) is attached at the other end of the rocker (41) for controlling the mechanical version lock of known type (9m).
- the rocker pivots towards position (45).
- the control cable (46) of the lock slides in a sheath (48) for holding and protection of known type.
- the elastic return of the cable is ensured by a spring located inside the lock. This reminder returns the rocker (40) to its rest position (44) when the action of the user ceases.
- the operating principle of the pass door is the same as that of the electric lock version.
- FIG.7 details the sequencing of the operations of the use of the handle in the case where the doors of the vehicle are already unlocked (case A /).
- the system is at rest, the sensor is not active (state 300).
- the sensor detects the presence and switches its output to the active state (301).
- the computer receives this information via the link (56).
- the vehicle doors are already unlocked, the computer then controls the retraction of the gate at the instant (Tl).
- the control output changes from state 310 to state 311 and the motor (7) rotates in the direction 181. Consequently, the position of the gate gradually changes from position (320) to position (321).
- the extreme stop position is reached at time T2.
- the computer stops controlling the retracting motor.
- the fingers of the user's hand are introduced into the housing freed by the retraction of the door, then actuate the control switch (8) at the instant T4.
- the state of the contactor goes from state 330 to state 331.
- the computer receives this information and immediately controls the lock motor (9e) at the next instant T5.
- the lock control output goes from state 340 to state 341. Shortly after, at time T6, the lock is released from the door strike and the door opens (passage from state 350 in state 351). The computer then stops controlling the lock motor at the instant T7.
- the computer monitors the states of the sensor (5) and the control switch (8): when they have both been at 0 for a few hundred milliseconds, the computer executes a command sequence to return the gate to the idle state.
- the return control output goes from state 360 to state 361 and therefore the motor (7) rotates in direction 182.
- the position of the gate then changes from position 321 to position 320.
- the rest position is reached at time TU, after a command time TC3 by the computer
- the computer stops the return command, at time T12.
- the time TC2 is chosen to be greater than TC3 to ensure complete return to the rest position on the stops. However, the time TC2 should only be slightly greater than TC3 so as not to unwind too much cable length (10) unnecessarily, which would have an undesirable effect on the retraction time in the next cycle.
- FIG.8 details the sequencing of the operations of the use of the handle in the case where the doors of the vehicle are locked and that the authorization to unlock is not present (case B /).
- the sensor is not active (state 300).
- the sensor detects the presence and switches its output to the active state (301).
- the computer receives this information via the link (56).
- the vehicle doors being locked the computer triggers a query of the identifier at time T16.
- the response from the identifier was not satisfactory, erroneous or absent, the computer does not control the retraction and the output remains in state 310.
- the pass door pivots from position (320) to position (321), between instants T21 and T22.
- the fingers of the user's hand are introduced into the housing freed by the retraction of the gate, then actuate the switch (8) for control at the instant T23.
- the state of the switch goes from state 330 to state 331.
- the computer receives this information but does not control the motor of the lock (9e), the output remaining inactive in state 340.
- the fingers cease to act on the contactor at time T24.
- the sensor stops detecting fingers at time T26.
- FIG.9 details the sequencing of the operations of the use of the handle in the case where the doors of the vehicle are locked and that the authorization to unlock is present (case C /).
- the sensor is not active (state 300).
- the sensor detects the presence and switches its output to the active state (301).
- the calculator receives this information by the link (56).
- the doors of the vehicle being locked, the computer triggers an interrogation of the identifier, which begins at time T16 and which ends at time T17.
- the response of the identifier being this time satisfactory, which begins at time T18 and which ends at time T19, the computer having the authorization to control the retraction.
- the computer controls the retraction of the gate at the instant (Tl).
- the command output changes from state 310 to state 311. Consequently, the position of the gate gradually changes from position (320) to position (321).
- the extreme stop position is reached at time T2.
- the computer stops controlling the retracting motor.
- the fingers of the user's hand are introduced into the housing freed by the retraction of the gate, then actuate the control switch (8) at the instant T4.
- the state of the switch goes from state 330 to state 331.
- the computer receives this information and immediately controls the lock motor (9e) at the next instant T5.
- the lock control output goes from state 340 to state 341. Shortly after, at time T6, the lock is released from the door strike and the door opens (passage from state 350 in state 351). The computer then stops controlling the lock motor at time T7.
- FIG.10 shows the electrical diagram of the invention.
- the computer (6) contains the interface diagrams of the various elements: the presence sensor (5), the retracting motor (7) of the pass door, the door lock motor which is either electric (9e) or mechanical (9m).
- the sensor is supplied by a transistor (53) which switches the current necessary for the operation of the electronics (51) of the sensor. Under certain conditions, or after a certain period of inactivity on the vehicle, the computer stops controlling this transistor (53). In this way, the sensor is no longer powered, and no longer consumes current on the vehicle battery, which is preferable, especially in the case where the vehicle is not used for a long time (for example a time more than a week). In this very particular case, the user will have to push the gate himself to access the door opening control.
- the sensor detection signal passes through the wire (562) and is read by an input from the computer (54).
- the positive supply current flows through the wire 561.
- the supply wire 561 and the signal wire 562 constitute the connection (56) between the computer and the sensor.
- the motor (71) of the retraction device is controlled by 2 relays according to a conventional diagram of known type.
- the relay (65) drives the motor in the direction of retraction.
- wire 761 is high 12V and the other wire is grounded.
- the other relay (66) controls the motor in the direction of the output, that is to say the return to the rest position.
- wire 762 is in the high 12V state and wire 761 is grounded (69). The motor then turns in direction 182.
- the door lock can be either electric or mechanical.
- the control diagrams are then slightly different and FIG. 10 represents the 2 cases at the same time.
- Unlocking occurs when the computer controls the relay (68).
- the wire 963 then goes high, the motor 91 turns to release the keeper.
- the relay (67) drives the lock motor in the direction of locking the lock.
- wire 961 is high 12V and the other wire 962 is grounded.
- the other relay (68) drives the motor in the unlocking direction.
- wire 962 is in the high 12V state and wire 961 is grounded. The motor then turns in the unlocking direction.
- the retracting device is protected against overheating or overload which could be caused by too many operations in a short period of time.
- the computer (6) contains a software protection system, which inhibits the retraction movement for a certain time, if too many maneuvers have been carried out in the previous instants.
- Figures 11 to 17 show an example of a detailed mechanical arrangement, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIGs 11 and 12 the device is shown in profile and from the front.
- the gate (1) is in the rest position, closed.
- the elastic return is produced by the helical spring (11b) which rests on the casing (4) in the area (110) and on the support (12) of the gate in the area (112).
- the axis of the articulation A1 crosses the spring and participates in its maintenance in position.
- the retraction is carried out by an actuator (150) of known type, connected to the wicket support by a connecting rod (152) by means of a hinge (154).
- This type of actuator is very commonly used in the automotive field to actuate the locking or unlocking of doors.
- the operation is very close to that which has been described previously in the description of the principle of the invention above.
- the actuator includes a small electric motor and a helical gear which transforms the rotational movement into translational movement. This actuator is controlled in all or nothing: its position is either completely extended (PIG.U) or completely retracted (FIG 13).
- the actuator In FIGS. 11 and 12, the actuator is in the extended position, it exerts no tensile force on the gate at the joint (14).
- the link (86) starts from the contactor of the door opening control (8) and joins the computer by the main wiring of the door in the area (100).
- the link (56) starts from the sensor (5) and also joins the computer by the main wiring of the door in the area (100).
- the link (96) connects the actuator to the computer.
- the docking zones are represented, in the upper part (25) (26) between the support of the gate and the outer door skin (2).
- the action of the elastic return of the spring 11b ensures that the stops (25) and (26) of the wicket support (12) are in contact with the sheet, which ensures minimum clearance and therefore perfect control of the appearance. outside of the compartment between the gate and the outer door skin.
- Figure 13 shows the device in the retracted active position.
- the actuator is in the retracted position and it pivots the gate around the axis Al until contact with the stop 19.
- Figure 14 shows the device in the situation where an external action pushes the door but without retracting action.
- the recess 153 present inside the connecting rod 152 authorizes the gate to pivot without causing the position of the actuator to move.
- the articulation 14 moves inside the connecting rod 152 by rotating it around the articulation 154, but the rod of the actuator 151 does not move.
- the connecting rod returns to its rest position and the actuator does not intervene.
- Figure 15 is shown in axonometric view the outer skin door, seen from the inside of the door.
- the elements 27, 28 and 29 are folded by stamping, at 90 degrees to the surface.
