  For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a door handle device that can pull a handle for pulling and opening a vehicle door obliquely upward and obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal direction in addition to the horizontal direction.

Japanese Patent No. 5003201

  However, the handle of Patent Document 1 can only move the entire handle in parallel. Therefore, the present invention is not applicable to a door handle device that pulls a handle so as to rotate around a predetermined base point to open a vehicle door.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a door handle device that can pull out a door handle that rotates with a rotation center as a base point obliquely with respect to the horizontal direction and the horizontal direction.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

The door handle device of the present invention is
A handle that is formed to extend from one end to the other end and that is operated to open the door by a pulling operation, a main body that extends from the handle in a direction opposite to the direction in which the handle is pulled on one end, and a sphere positioned on the main body An arm including a portion, and a door handle having
A housing that has a support portion that rotatably supports the spherical portion, and an arm is rotatably accommodated around the spherical portion;
With
The door handle is characterized in that when the handle is pulled, the door handle is pulled out in a direction in which the handle is pulled with the spherical portion as a rotation center.

  In the door handle device of the present invention, the spherical portion of the arm extending from the handle is rotatably supported. Therefore, when the handle is pulled, the door handle is pulled out in the direction in which the handle is pulled with the spherical portion as the rotation center. Therefore, the door handle can be pulled out both in the horizontal direction and in the oblique direction with respect to the horizontal direction according to the direction in which the handle is pulled.

In an embodiment of the present invention,
The arm is the first arm,
The door handle has a second arm that extends from the handle in the opposite direction on the other end side and is housed in the housing so as to be rotatable around the spherical portion as a rotation center.
The housing includes an urging unit that contacts the accommodated second arm and urges the second arm in the opposite direction,
The door handle is pulled out by pulling the handle connected to the second arm against the bias of the biasing portion, and when the pulling force of the handle is released, the door handle is pulled out by the biasing force of the biasing portion. Return to the previous position.

  According to this, when the pulling force of the handle is released, the pulled-out door handle can be returned to the original position before the door handle is pulled out.

In an embodiment of the present invention,
The urging portion has a lever having a tip portion movable along the second arm housed in the housing, and a link portion that contacts the tip portion and urges the tip portion in the opposite direction.
The second arm has a protrusion that slidably contacts the outer surface of the tip located on the opposite direction side,
The door handle is pulled out by pulling the handle against the bias of the link portion, and the protruding portion slides on the outer surface in accordance with the direction in which the door handle is pulled out.

  According to this, a protrusion part contacts the outer surface of the front-end | tip part in the lever urged | biased by the opposite direction from the opposite direction side, and slides the outer surface according to the direction where a door handle is pulled out. Therefore, when the force to pull out the door handle is released no matter which direction the door handle is pulled out, the protruding part of the door handle is biased in the opposite direction, so the door handle should be moved toward the original position. Is possible.

In an embodiment of the present invention,

The housing has a shaft portion that extends along an axis extending from the spherical portion to the groove portion, the tip is inserted into the groove portion, and the tip is relatively movable in the groove portion by moving the second arm,
The second arm rotates around the shaft corresponding to the direction in which the handle is pulled, and moves so that the shaft is guided through the groove.

  According to this, since the second arm rotates around the shaft according to the direction in which the handle is pulled, the door handle can be rotated around the axis, and the direction in which the door handle is pulled out can be changed smoothly. It becomes.

In an embodiment of the present invention,
The sliding surface on which the protruding portion slides on the outer surface in accordance with the direction in which the door handle is pulled out is formed symmetrically with respect to the region where the protruding portion contacts when the door handle is pulled out horizontally.

  According to this, when the door handle is pulled out obliquely upward with respect to the horizontal direction, the protruding portion of the second arm extending from the handle slides on the sliding surface downward. On the other hand, when the door handle is pulled out obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal direction, the projecting portion slides on the sliding surface upward. Therefore, if the sliding surface is formed vertically symmetrical, the door handle can be operated with the same force whether it is diagonally upward or diagonally downward if the absolute value of the angle drawn upward and downward is the same with respect to the horizontal direction. Can be pulled out.

In an embodiment of the present invention,
The main body portion extends in the opposite direction from the handle on one end portion side and extends in a direction away from the other end portion.

In an embodiment of the present invention,
The housing has a raised portion that rises from above and below toward at least one of the accommodated first arm or second arm,
The raised portion restricts the direction in which the handle is pulled when the handle is pulled obliquely with respect to the horizontal direction with the spherical portion as the rotation center.

  According to this, the direction of the handle pulled out obliquely upward and downward with respect to the horizontal direction can be restricted.

The lever 10 includes a cylindrical shaft portion 10a that extends in the vertical direction and is rotatable around the axis O1, and a lever main body 10b that is connected to the shaft portion 10a and extends in the lateral direction. As shown in FIG. 5B, the lever main body 10b is formed such that the outer surface S of the distal end located on the left side of the figure is a curved surface that is vertically symmetrical. In FIG. 5B, the outer surface S is formed in a convex curved shape that is convex on the left side in the drawing, and the tip of the convex curved surface has a concave curved surface-shaped concave portion S1 that is slightly recessed on the right side in the drawing. FIG. 6A is a view of the box body 9 to which the lever 10 is attached as viewed from the bottom wall 9d side. The lever 10 is mounted on the box body 9 so as to be rotatable around the axis O1, and the tip of the lever 10 is movable up and down along the protruding member 19 (FIG. 6A → FIG. 6B, FIG. 6B → FIG. 6A). The range in which the lever 10 can be rotated by the space portion 13a (see FIG. 4) in which the lever 10 is mounted is limited to the range of FIGS. 6A to 6B.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a bell crank 11 and a spring 12 are attached to the groove 18 on the back surface of the box body 9. The bell crank 11 is a lever that converts rotational motion into reciprocating motion. As shown in FIG. 7, the bell crank 11 is positioned along an axis O2 penetrating a boomerang-shaped main body 11a, a columnar weight 11b positioned at the upper end of the main body 11a, and a main body 11a bent in a boomerang shape. A cylindrical shaft portion 11c. The bell crank 11 reciprocates so that the lower end portion 11a1 of the main body portion 11a is along the horizontal direction by rotating at a predetermined angle around the axis O2 with the shaft portion 11c as a base point.

  A spring 12 is attached to the bell crank 11. The spring 12 is attached to the bell crank 11 so as to be positioned spirally around the shaft portion 11c. 8A and 8B show the box body 9 in which the bell crank 11 and the spring 12 are mounted in the groove portion 18 and the lever 10 is mounted in the space portion 13a. A spring 12 is attached to the box body 9 so that the bell crank 11 is urged clockwise around the axis O2 of FIG. 8B. The bell crank 11 is attached to the box body 9 so that the lower end portion 11a1 urged to the left side of FIG. 8B by the spring 12 contacts the tip end portion of the lever body 10b. The tip of the lever body 10b is urged to the left in the figure by the lower end 11a1, and the lever 10 stops at the position shown in FIG. 6A. When an external force is applied from this state to rotate the lever 10 clockwise about the axis O1 (FIG. 6A → FIG. 6B), the lever 10 shown in FIG. 8B moves toward the right side. Then, the lower end 11a1 is pushed by the lever 10 and moves to the right from the position of FIG. 8B against the urging force of the spring 12. As a result, the bell crank 11 starts rotating counterclockwise from the axis O2 as a base point, and rotates until the lever 10 reaches the position of FIG. 6B and stops (FIG. 8B → FIG. 8C). When the external force applied to the lever 10 is released, the bell crank 11 rotates clockwise around the axis O2 by the biasing force of the spring 12, and the lower end 11a1 pushes the tip of the lever 10 toward the left side in FIG. 8C. Accordingly, the lever 10 starts to rotate counterclockwise from the position of FIG. 6B with the axis O1 as the base point, and rotates until the lever 10 reaches the position of FIG. 6A (FIG. 8C → FIG. 8B). In the housing 3, the lever 10 and the bell crank 11 are interlocked in this way. The above is the description of the housing 3 of the door handle device 1.

  The main parts of the door handle device 1 have been described above. 9A, 9B, 10 and 11 show the door handle device 1 attached to the outer panel D. FIG. In the door handle device 1, as shown in FIG. 10 which is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 9A, the spherical portion 7b1 is positioned so as to contact the front wall 9a, the side wall 9e (corner portion 17), and the back wall 9b. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the position of the ball joint 7b from deviating from the front side of the vehicle (direction in which the handle 6 is pulled: upward in the drawing) and the vehicle side (direction opposite to the direction in which the handle 6 is pulled: downward in the drawing). The ball joint 7b is rotatably supported by the spherical portion 7b1 with the corner portions 17 of the front wall 9a and the side wall 9e, the back wall 9b, and the like as support portions. Therefore, the spherical portion 7b1 can rotate around the axis O3 that passes through the center of the spherical portion 7b1 and extends in the vertical direction of the vehicle (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface of FIG. 10). In addition, the spherical portion 7b1 can rotate about an axis O4 that connects the center of the spherical portion 7b1 and the tip of the shaft portion 15b inserted into the groove portion 8a1 of the door handle 2. Therefore, the door handle 2 having the spherical portion 7b1 can rotate around the axis O3 and the axis O4. However, in the door handle 2 in the state of FIG. 10, the rotation around the axis O4 is restricted by the cushion member 4, the outer panel D, and the like.

  On the other hand, the protruding portion 8b of the arm 8 is positioned in contact with the outer surface S of the tip end portion of the lever body 10b from the vehicle side (the lower side in FIG. 10). As shown in FIG. 11, the lever body 10b with which the protruding portion 8b comes into contact is urged toward the vehicle side (the left side in the figure) by the bell crank 11 that is urged clockwise around the axis O2 by a spring 12 (not shown). Therefore, the protrusion 8b that contacts the lever main body 10b is urged toward the vehicle. As a result, the door handle 2 shown in FIG. 10 is urged counterclockwise with the axis O3 as a base point, and is positioned with the cushion member 4 interposed between the door handle 2 and the outer panel D.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, in the door handle device 1 mounted on the outer panel D, the handle 6 is gripped by the vehicle occupant, and the opening of the vehicle door is operated by pulling the handle 6 toward the front side of the vehicle. . In the door handle device 1, there are mainly three operations of pulling the handle 6 in the horizontal direction, pulling diagonally upward with respect to the horizontal direction, and pulling diagonally downward with respect to the horizontal direction in order to open the vehicle door. There is a pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the handle 6 is pulled horizontally toward the front side of the vehicle, the door handle device 1 operates as follows. When the handle 6 is pulled horizontally toward the front side of the vehicle as shown in FIG. 12B, the door handle 2 rotates clockwise around the axis O3 with the spherical portion 7b1 as the center of rotation. As a result, the protrusion 8b moves to the front side of the vehicle against the lever 10 biased toward the vehicle side, and the arm 8 moves to the front side of the vehicle so that the shaft portion 15b relatively moves in the groove 8a1. Move to. On the other hand, the lever 10 rotates clockwise around the axis O1 to move toward the front side of the vehicle against the bell crank 11 of FIG. 12C biased toward the vehicle side. The bell crank 11 rotates counterclockwise around the axis O2 when the lower end portion 11a1 is pushed toward the front side of the vehicle by the lever 10. In this way, as shown in FIG. 12B, the door handle 2 is pulled out to the front side of the vehicle with the spherical portion 7b1 as the rotation center so that the arm 8 is gradually exposed from the housing 3 to the outside of the vehicle.

  When the external force that pulls out the door handle 2 is released, the bell crank 11 is urged clockwise around the axis O2 in FIG. 12C, and the lower end 11a1 of the bell crank 11 pushes the lever 10 toward the vehicle. Then, the lever 10 rotates counterclockwise around the axis O1 in FIG. 12B, so that the tip of the lever 10 pushes the protruding portion 8b toward the vehicle. As a result, the arm 8 moves to the vehicle side so that the shaft portion 15b moves relatively in the groove portion 8a1, and the door handle 2 rotates counterclockwise around the axis O3 to be exposed to the outside of the vehicle. Is stored in the housing 3. And it returns to the position before the door handle 2 was pulled out so that the fixing member 5 of the housing | casing 3 may be covered with the holes 6c and 6d of the handle | steering-wheel 6. FIG.

  When the handle 6 is pulled obliquely upward with respect to the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 13A, the door handle device 1 operates as follows. When the handle 6 is pulled obliquely upward with respect to the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 13B, the handle 6 has a horizontal component force (force acting in the horizontal direction) and a vertical component force (force acting in the vertical direction). Act. As described above, the door handle 2 rotates clockwise around the axis O3 by the force of the horizontal component acting on the handle 6. Further, the door handle 2 can rotate around the axis O4 by a shaft portion 15b inserted into the groove portion 8a1 of the arm 8. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13C, the arm 8 rotates around the axis O4 so that the handle 6 side faces upward by the vertical force acting on the handle 6. On the other hand, on the protrusion 8b side of the arm 8, the protrusion 8b slides on the outer surface S of the lever body 10b so that the protrusion 8b is directed downward. As described above, both the horizontal component force and the vertical component force act, so that the protruding portion 8b moves toward the front side of the vehicle against the lever 10 biased toward the vehicle side, and the outer surface S of the lever main body 10b. Slide. Then, the bell crank 11 is pushed counterclockwise at the lower end 11a1 by the lever 10 and rotates counterclockwise around the axis O2. In this way, as shown in FIG. 13B, the door handle 2 is pulled out obliquely upward on the front side of the vehicle around the spherical portion 7b1 so that the arm 8 is gradually exposed from the housing 3 to the outside of the vehicle.

  When the external force that pulls out the door handle 2 is released, the bell crank 11 is urged clockwise around the axis O2 in FIG. 13C, and the lower end 11a1 of the bell crank 11 pushes the lever 10 toward the vehicle. Then, the protruding portion 8b is pushed by the lever 10, and the arm 8 rotates clockwise around the axis O4 so that the handle 6 side and the protruding portion 8b side of the arm 8 are horizontal, and the arm 8 is pulled into the housing 3. It is. In this way, the door handle 2 shown in FIG. 13B rotates counterclockwise around the axis O3 with the spherical portion 7b1 as the center of rotation, and rotates around the axis O4 to expose the arm 8 exposed to the outside of the vehicle. 3 is returned to the position before the door handle 2 is pulled out.

  When the handle 6 is pulled obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal direction, the operation is opposite to that when the handle 6 is pulled obliquely upward as shown in FIGS. 14A to 14C.

  In the door handle device 1, as shown in FIG. 10, a spherical portion 7 b 1 of an arm 7 extending from a handle 6 operated by a vehicle occupant is rotatably supported by the housing 3. Therefore, when the handle 6 is pulled by the vehicle occupant, the door handle 2 is pulled out in a direction in which the handle 6 is pulled with the spherical portion 7b1 as the rotation center. For example, when the handle 6 is pulled in the horizontal direction, as shown in FIG. 12B, the handle 6 rotates around the axis O3 with the spherical portion 7b1 as a base point. Further, when the handle 6 is pulled obliquely upward or downward with respect to the horizontal direction, the handle 6 is pulled out toward the front side of the vehicle and rotated around the axis O4 so that the handle 6 faces upward or downward. As shown in FIG. 13A or FIG. 14A, the handle 6 is pulled out obliquely upward or downward. Therefore, the door handle apparatus 1 can pull the handle 6 obliquely upward and downward with respect to the horizontal direction in addition to pulling the handle 6 in the horizontal direction.

  When the door handle 2 is pulled out obliquely upward or downward, the door handle 2 rotates about the axis O4 (shaft portion 15b) as shown in FIGS. 13C and 14C. Therefore, the door handle 2 can be smoothly rotated in the direction in which the door handle 2 is pulled.

  As shown in FIG. 12C, when the door handle 2 pulled out horizontally toward the front side of the vehicle is released from the external force that pulled out the door handle 2, the protruding portion 8b of the arm 8 is The door handle 2 returns to its original position.

  As shown in FIGS. 13C and 14C, in the door handle 2, the protruding portion 8b slides on the outer surface S of the lever body 10b in accordance with the direction in which the door handle 2 is pulled out. And the protrusion part 8b contacts the outer surface S of the lever 10 urged | biased by the vehicle side in the state which the door handle 2 was pulled out. Accordingly, when the force for pulling out the door handle 2 is released no matter which direction the door handle 2 is pulled out, the protruding portion 8b is biased toward the vehicle side, so that the door handle 2 is moved toward the original position. It becomes possible.

  As shown in FIG. 13C or FIG. 14C, when the door handle 2 is pulled obliquely upward or downward with respect to the horizontal direction, the protrusion 8b slides on the outer surface S. As shown in FIG. 5B, the outer surface S is formed vertically symmetrically with the recess S1 as a base point. Therefore, if the absolute value of the angle at which the door handle 2 is drawn obliquely upward and obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal direction is the same, the same applies. The door handle can be pulled out with great force. Further, since the outer surface S and the protruding portion 8b in FIG. 12C are curved, the protruding portion 8b can be easily slid. Further, the outer surface S has a recess S1, and the protruding portion 8b is accommodated in the recess S1 when the door handle 2 is pulled in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the protruding portion 8b when the door handle 2 is pulled in the horizontal direction, and to prevent the door handle 2 from shifting obliquely upward or downward when pulling the door handle 2 in the horizontal direction.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific description, and the illustrated configurations and the like can be appropriately combined within a technically consistent range. In addition, certain elements and processes may be replaced with known forms.
