Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a latch releasing system for a vehicle door, comprising: an outer handle and a latch device having an electric actuator capable of exerting a power to release a latched state of the door having an outer surface, which in use is provided with the 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.
  • a latch releasing system for a vehicle door comprising an outer handle, a locking mechanism, an electric actuator, and an emergency operation member having an operation section capable of being operated by a 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 a latch-releasing operation force to the locking mechanism, the operation section of the emergency operation member being provided at an outer surface of the door adjacent to the outer handle while having an outer surface continuously flush with an outer surface of the outer handle.
  • the following latch releasing system for a vehicle door has been already known from Japanese Patent No. 4598668 , 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.
  • Japanese Patent No. 4598668 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. Nevertheless, 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: an outer handle and a latch device having an electric actuator capable of exerting a power to release a latched state of the door having an outer surface, which in use is provided with the 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 latch releasing system comprises a cylinder lock configured to be operated by a mechanical key to put the latch device in an unlocked state, so that in use after such unlocking of the latch device the emergency operation member can be manually operated by the vehicle user to exert the latch-releasing operation
  • 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.

  • the latch device 18 is capable of switching a latched state where the front side door D in a closed state is engaged with and held to the vehicle body side and an unlatched state where an opening operation on the front side door D is possible.
  • the latch device 18 is capable of switching an unlocked state enabling latch releasing of the front side door D and a locked state disabling the latch releasing of the front side door D.
  • the latch device 18 is capable of actuating the electric motor 20 in the unlocked state and latch releasing in accordance with a mechanical input of a latch-releasing operation force.
