Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a latch releasing system for a vehicle door, comprising: a latch device having an electric actuator capable of exerting a power to release a latched state of a door having an outer surface provided with an outer handle for opening and closing operations, the latch device being provided to the door in such a manner as to be capable of actuating the electric actuator in accordance with a predetermined operation by a vehicle user and latch releasing in accordance with a mechanical input of a latch-releasing operation force; and an emergency operation member having an operation section capable of being operated by the vehicle user from outside of a vehicle, the emergency operation member being provided to the door in such a manner as to be capable of exerting the latch-releasing operation force to the latch device.
  • the following latch releasing system for a vehicle door has been already known by Patent Document 1, in which a latch is released by actuating an electric actuator of a latch device through a predetermined operation of a door switch or the like provided to a vehicle.
  • the latch releasing system for a vehicle door includes an emergency operation member, which is provided in the door and can be operated from the outside of the vehicle.
  • the emergency operation member is to mechanically input a latch-releasing operation force to the latch device in a case where electrical latch releasing of the latch device is impossible due to a dead battery or the like.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses that the door is provided with an outer handle capable of being operated with a hand inserted into a recessed section provided on a vehicle body side, and that the emergency operation member is provided in such a manner as to be hidden from the outside by the outer handle.
  • the emergency operation member When the emergency operation member is operated, a hand has to be deeply inserted into the outer handle for the operation. It is thus hard to say that the emergency operation member has a good operability.
  • the emergency operation member is provided at the outer surface side of the door to increase the operability.
  • the structure in which the emergency operation member is simply provided at the outer surface side of the door may deteriorate the vehicle appearance.
  • a cover member or the like is needed to prevent a mischief operation. Hence, the number of components is increased.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a latch releasing system for a vehicle door, which allows an emergency operation member to be provided at an outer surface side of a door to increase the operability, and which eliminates the need for a cover member covering the emergency operation member.
  • a latch releasing system for a vehicle door comprising: a latch device having an electric actuator capable of exerting a power to release a latched state of a door having an outer surface provided with an outer handle for opening and closing operations, the latch device being provided to the door in such a manner as to be capable of actuating the electric actuator in accordance with a predetermined operation by a vehicle user and latch releasing in accordance with a mechanical input of a latch-releasing operation force; and an emergency operation member having an operation section capable of being operated by the vehicle user from outside of a vehicle, the emergency operation member being provided to the door in such a manner as to be capable of exerting the latch-releasing operation force to the latch device, characterized in that the operation section of the emergency operation member is provided at an outer surface side of the door adjacent to the outer handle while having an outer surface continuously flush with an outer surface of the outer handle.
  • an electric motor 20 of an embodiment corresponds to the electric actuator of the present invention
  • a front side door D of the embodiment corresponds to the door of the present invention.
  • the operation section of the emergency operation member is provided at the outer surface side of the door, the operability of the emergency operation member can be increased.
  • the operation section is disposed adjacent to the outer handle and has the outer surface continuously flush with the outer surface of the outer handle. Accordingly, it is possible to make such an appearance as if the outer handle and the operation section are integrated. This not only prevents a deterioration of the vehicle appearance, but also prevents an outsider from easily recognizing the operation section of the emergency operation member. Thus, there is no need for providing a cover member to prevent a mischief operation, and an increase in the number of components can be avoided.
