Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle door handle assembly.
  • the invention relates to an outside door handle assembly with a sensor device for detecting an operation.
  • the vehicle door handle assembly has a handle, wherein on an engaging side of the handle an actuating element is arranged, which is operable by an operator when gripping the handle.
  • Door handles for motor vehicles are available in various designs, in particular, the door handles with a movable handle can be distinguished from those with a fixed handle.
  • a handle part of the handle assembly to be undercut or engaged by the user is pivoted or translationally moved by force, and this movement is transmitted to a lock device in the door for actuation.
  • the handles are arranged opposite the door largely immovable.
  • electrically controlled door locks are used, which are led under the name "e-latch”.
  • Such door locks are for example in the EP 0 584 499 A1 disclosed. In fixed door handles so no continuous mechanical chain of action is formed by the door handle on a door lock.
  • the door lock is electrically energized in response to a detected actuation so that mechanical hardware can be reduced and cost and weight saved.
  • Other door handles that have electrical sensor means are the EP 1 763 048 A1 , of the DE 20 2014 105 458 U1 as well as the EP 2 088 267 A2 refer to.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved operator identification for door handles on motor vehicles.
  • the door handle according to the invention has a handle, wherein the handle can be gripped around, under-gripped or overlapped.
  • the handle is engaged behind in any section to exercise a required to open the door traction can.
  • an actuator is arranged according to the invention.
  • the actuating element is designed so that it is partially guided by a recess in the handle from the inside out, so a part protrudes into an inner cavity of the handle and a part of the actuating element protrudes out of the handle, outwardly and beyond the outer contour of the Handle protrudes at least slightly.
  • the extent of extension, in which the actuating element projects outwardly beyond the outer contour of the handle can be extremely small. For example, a few tenths of a millimeter may be sufficient so that an operator hardly feels this survey and does not feel annoying.
  • the actuating element In the interior of the handle, the actuating element is movably received, so that the actuating element for actuation through the recess of the handle is deflectable in the direction of the interior of the handle.
  • An elastic return force is provided to bring the actuator back to its original position when a force is removed.
  • a displacement, tilting or only deformation of the actuating element is allowed in the direction of the interior. In this case, very little freedom of movement or movement paths are sufficient.
  • the handle protrudes outward beyond the outer contour of the handle, one can Be sufficient deformation, bending or the like of fractions of millimeters.
  • the actuating element does not constitute a switch with a noticeable pressure point, but passes on the pressing force exerted when engaging behind in the form of a small deformation or displacement of the actuating element in the interior of the handle.
  • the actuator is also at least partially formed with a metallic material.
  • This metallic material is mounted in the interior of the handle on the actuator, laminated thereon, sprayed, painted or the entire actuator is mixed with a metallic material, such as a metallized plastic.
  • This metallic material is essential, since an electrical assembly with at least one inductive distance sensor is arranged inside the handle. Inductive distance sensors detect changes in the position of metallic objects with respect to the distance sensor with high precision.
  • the metallic material of the actuator shifts when actuated relative to the distance sensor, since the distance sensor is received stationary within the handle. Thus, a relative movement between actuator and distance sensor takes place as soon as the actuator shifts in the direction of the interior or is brought by the restoring force back to the original position.
  • the actuating element is used accordingly to convey a change in distance or bearing change between the metallic components of the actuating element and the inductive distance sensor and to detect this change in distance. In this way, even small forces and thus actuating paths that occur during deformation or displacement of the actuating element detectable and coupled to the inductive distance sensor evaluation circuit is able to detect an operation of the door handle beyond doubt.
  • the door handle thus formed is on the one hand very robust, the handle must not be deformable overall and also because the exterior is exposed only the mechanical actuator and also the electronic components protected inside the handle, possibly can be added in potted form.
  • the actuator itself has no mandatory electrical components, it is only to ensure that metallic areas are formed in the material or on the material, which detect the distance sensors in the door handle. The mechanical components are decoupled in this way from the actual detection.
  • the actuating element is formed from a plastic, which is partially covered with a metallic layer.
  • the actuator on the outside so the side that touches a user, be modeled in its design of the handle surface, so that, if anything, only slight differences in perceptions are perceived in the touch.
  • a metallic layer in the form of a sheet or a foil may be applied, since this area lies within the detection range of the inductive distance sensors.
  • arranged in the interior of the door handle electrical assembly is formed with a circuit board on which the inductive distance sensor is formed, wherein the board is accommodated in a holder.
  • the actuator is movably coupled to the bracket.
  • both the electronic assembly is received in the holder and the actuator is movably coupled to this holder, so that a coherent unit is formed.
  • a receptacle may be provided with an opening into which the circuit board is inserted and the actuating element may be fastened with spring elements on the holder.
  • the actuating element is formed integrally with the holder.
  • the design of the actuating element as a deformable tongue on the holder or receptacle for the electrical assembly is advantageous because then the holder can be formed with the actuating element in a molding process, wherein after the actuating element, if necessary, nor the metallic coating in the form of a film or a Coating is applied.
  • circuit board is sealed in the holder with a potting compound.
  • a potting of the electrical components provides protection of the electrical components and in particular of the inductive distance sensors and ensures a reliable function of the system.
  • the door handle according to the invention is also in one embodiment in such a way that the actuating element is designed as an elongated element which extends along the longitudinal axis of a handle. Along this longitudinal extension several inductive distance sensors are arranged in the handle, which detect the approach of various portions of the actuating element.
  • the actuating element can fulfill a plurality of operating functions, depending on which section of the actuating element is operated and which inductive distance sensor detects an actuation.
  • the actuating element can in principle consist of an integral structure, which partially comprises metallic components, for example a plastic with metal particles.
  • the actuating element can also be designed in several parts.
  • a basic body made of a plastic can with a coating or a deferred component or another portion may be formed from a metallic material.
  • a first, protruding from the handle portion of plastic may be formed and a second, located in the interior of the handle section may be formed of a metallic material.
  • this second section which is formed from the metallic material, with spring tabs, which are supported in the interior of the handle.
  • the restoring element itself will provide the required restoring force to move the actuator back to its original position after elimination of the actuating force.
  • FIG. 1 a door handle assembly 1 with a grip 2 and a handle 3 is shown.
  • the handle 3 is engaged behind the door in a range between the grip 2 and handle 3.
  • the handle 3 has a recess for a lock cylinder and another actuator, but these components are not essential to the invention.
  • FIG. 2a the handle 3 is shown isolated from the grip 2.
  • FIG. 2b the handle 3 is shown in a view from behind.
  • a portion 4 of the actuating element is visible, which protrudes through an opening 5 in the handle 3.
  • FIG. 3 shows the handle 3 in an open state.
  • the handle 3 is formed by two housing shells, wherein the opening 5 is formed in one of the housing shells.
  • an actuating unit 6 is formed in the inner cavity of the handle.
  • the actuating unit has a receptacle 7 made of a plastic.
  • a circuit board 8 is formed in a cavity of this receptacle 7.
  • inductive distance sensors are arranged as surface mountable components and facing with their detection range of the tongue 9.
  • a tongue 9 is formed on the receptacle 7 also integrally a tongue 9 is formed.
  • the projecting projection 4 shown in the previous figures which protrudes through the opening 5 of the handle.
  • the approach 4 is touched by the user and when force the tongue 9 is slightly deformed together with the neck 4 in the direction of the receptacle 7.
  • a metallic coating 11 is pushed on on the inside of the tongue 9, which faces the receptacle 7, a metallic coating 11 is pushed.
  • This metallic coating 11 is provided to trigger the arranged on the board 8 inductive distance sensors or to detect by means of the sensors the distance of this coating 11 of the inductive distance sensors.
  • the actuating element is formed from a plurality of components, namely the components 9, 4 and 11.
  • FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of the handle with components arranged therein in the mounted state. It is clear that the projection 4 protrudes through the outer wall of the handle 3 and protrudes slightly beyond the outer contour of the handle 3. In the illustration, the tongue 9 and the deferred metallic part 11 are visible. The metallic overthrust 11 lies opposite the printed circuit board 8 with the inductive distance sensors arranged thereon, but is separated therefrom by the receptacle 7. Tongue 9 and cap 11 are in the normal position spaced from the receptacle 7, wherein an air gap between part 11 and receptacle 7 is formed.
  • a movement of the components 9, 4 and 11 causes a change in the distance of the metallic region 11 relative to the board with the inductive distance sensors. This change in distance is detected and forwarded to an evaluation device (not shown).
  • the evaluation device can be formed on the circuit board 8, or the signals of the inductive distance sensors can be routed to a separate evaluation unit.
