Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle door handle device.

As a vehicle door handle device, the one described in Patent Document 1 is known.

In this conventional example, the out handle (operation handle) connected to the support case (handle base) can be moved from the initial position to the pop-up position driven by the electric actuator, and from the pop-up position to the manually operated full stroke position. By operating to the full stroke position, the latch device attached to the door is released and the door can be opened.

The handle base rotates to the regulated position due to the inertial force at the time of side collision so that the operation force in the opening operation direction is generated on the operation handle due to the inertial force at the time of side collision of the vehicle and the latch device is not inadvertently released. The inertia lever that prevents the operation handle from rotating is rotatably connected.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-90028

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the rotation restriction of the operation handle by the inertia lever at the time of a side collision is effective only when the operation handle is in the initial position, and does not work when the operation handle is in the pop-up position, so that it is held in the pop-up position. When a side collision force is applied in this state, there is a problem that the operation handle is inadvertently rotated to the full stroke position and the door is opened.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks, and is a vehicle door handle device that can reliably prevent the door from being inadvertently opened even when a side collision occurs while the operation handle is in the position of use. The purpose is to provide.

According to the present invention, the above object is
The door of the vehicle to which the operation handle 3 is connected so that the handle base 1 can be moved from the initial position to the use position driven by the electric actuator 2 and the latch operation position operated by the door latch device manually operated beyond the use position. It ’s a handle device,
The operation handle 3 is provided with a stopper protrusion 4 on a movable portion that is displaced as the posture of the operation handle 3 is changed, and the operation handle 3 is provided with a stopper protrusion 4.
The handle base 1 is provided with two-stage stopper surfaces 5 and 6 that are rotatable around a rotation axis orthogonal to the moving surface of the stopper protrusion 4 and are arranged in a stepwise manner in the axial length direction of the rotation axis. An inertial stopper 7 that rotates from the standby position to the regulated position due to inertia when a collision force is applied to the load is arranged.
In addition, one of the inertial stoppers 7 at the restricted position causes the stopper protrusion 4 to move the operation handle 3 to the use position side, which is generated by the impact force load on the vehicle when the operation handle 3 is in the initial position. A steering wheel of a vehicle provided with a first stopper 8 that collides with and regulates one of the stopper surfaces 5 and 6, and a second stopper 9 that regulates movement to the latch operation position side when the operation handle 3 is in the use position. Achieved by providing the device.

The operation handle 3 is connected to a handle base 1 fixed to the door, and is between an initial position, a use position driven by an electric actuator 2 from the initial position and protruding from the door surface, and a latch operation position beyond the use position. The latch device can be released by manually operating the latch device after driving it to the used position by the electric actuator 2.

The inertial stopper 7 rotates to the restricted position when a collision force such as a lateral collision is applied to the vehicle, and when the operation handle 3 is in the initial position, the inertial stopper 7 is in the used position on the first stopper 8 of the stopper protrusion 4. Occasionally, the movement of the operation handle 3 from the initial position to the use position or from the use position to the latch operation position is restricted facing the second stopper 9.

Therefore, in the present invention, when a collision force is applied to the vehicle, the inertial stopper 7 can exert the restricting action regardless of whether the operation handle 3 is in the initial position or the use position.

Further, since the inertial stopper 7 that regulates the operation of the operation handle 3 at both positions is formed by a single member, the number of parts is small and the structure is simplified.

Further, when the inertial stopper 7 is formed of a single member, the inertial stopper 7 has a position of the first stopper 8 when the operation handle 3 is in the initial position and a second stopper when the operation handle 3 is in the use position. It is necessary to place it in the vicinity of the intermediate position of the position of 9. However, the inertial stopper 7 is formed in two stages so as to correspond to the first and second stoppers 8 and 9, respectively, and the rotation center (C7) of the inertial stopper 7 is adjusted so as to adjust the distance from each stopper. In the present invention in which the distance from the inertia stopper 7 can be set individually, the space can be effectively used because the degree of freedom in the arrangement position of the inertial stopper 7 is increased.

Further, the present invention
The operation handle 3 is rotatably connected to the other ends of the first and second links 10 and 11 whose one end is rotatably connected to the handle base 1, and the first link 10 is used as a driving node and is operated at the position of use. The handle 3 is operably formed as a four-bar link mechanism in which the handle 3 is in a parallel posture with respect to the door surface, and is formed.
The rotation center (C311) of the second link 11 and the operation handle 3 can be slidable along either the second link 11 or the operation handle 3 from the initial end position held by the urging force of the end holding spring 12. As a result, the operation handle 3 in the use position is given a degree of freedom to allow rotation around the rotation center (C310) with the first link 10, and the operation handle 3 is manually operated to the latch operation position beyond the use position. Is possible to form,
Moreover, the stopper protrusion 4 can be formed on the second link 11 to form the stopper protrusion 4.

In this way, when the operation handle 3 is driven by a four-bar link mechanism having the handle base 1 as a fixed link and the use position of the operation handle 3 is positioned parallel to the door surface, only one end of the operation handle 3 is positioned in the use position. Does not protrude from the door surface, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a design discomfort. In addition, the operation of the second link 11 that directly operates the door latch device is regulated by the inertial stopper 7, thereby improving the operation reliability. Can be improved.

Further, although it is sufficient to arrange the stopper protrusion 4 at an appropriate position of the movable portion,
The stopper protrusion 4 projects the first and second stoppers 8 and 9 on the movable portion in parallel with the moving surface of the movable portion from the support column 13 which is erected perpendicularly to the moving surface of the movable portion. When it is set and formed, the stop operation surface can be set at a position away from the moving surface of the movable part, so that even if other parts are densely packed in the vicinity of the movable part, it can be used with other parts. Interference can be reliably prevented and operational reliability can be improved.

Further, if the first and second stoppers 8 and 9 are configured to project from the support column 13, each stopper can be brought close to the corresponding stopper surfaces 5 and 6 of the inertial stopper 7, so that the inertial stopper 7 is arranged. It is possible to further increase the degree of freedom of position.

In this case, if the support column 13 is formed on the rotation center axis of the second link 11, the swing width of the stopper protrusion 4 becomes small, so that space can be effectively used.

As shown in FIG. 1 and below, the door handle device has a handle base 1, an operation handle 3, and first and second links 10 and 11 for connecting the operation handle 3 to the handle base 1, and a handle. It is fixed to the door of the vehicle at the base 1.

With the handle base 1 fixed to the door, the operation handle 3 is operated from the initial position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the used position shown in FIG. 4 (a), and the operation handle from the used position as shown in FIG. 4 (b). One end of 3 can be moved to the raised latch operation position.

The door handle device has a flash surface specification in which the operation handle 3 is stored in the door when the operation handle 3 is not in use so that the surface of the operation handle 3 is almost the same as the door surface, and the initial position of the operation handle 3 corresponds to the unused posture. However, the handle base 1 is formed with a handle accommodating recess 1a for accommodating the operation handle 3 at the initial position (see FIG. 6).

As shown in FIG. 3, the first link 10 and the second link 11 are rotatably connected to the handle base 1 around the center of rotation (C110, C111). The rotation centers (C110, C111) of the first link 10 and the second link 11 to the handle base 1 are appropriately spaced apart in the front-rear direction, that is, the longitudinal direction of the handle base 1, and the rotation centers of the first link 10 (C110). ) Is arranged in front of the rotation center (C111) of the second link 11.

In the present specification, the left side of FIG. 1 is referred to as "front", the right side is referred to as "rear", the front side of the paper in FIG. 1 is referred to as the "front surface" direction, and the opposite direction is referred to as the "back surface" direction.

Further, an electric actuator 2 such as a motor is fixed to the handle base 1, and a cam surface 10a that presses against the cam body 14 rotationally driven by the electric actuator 2 is formed on the first link 10. When the cam body 14 is rotationally driven, the first link 10 can be rotated around the rotation center (C110). A counterclockwise urging force is applied to the first link 10 by a torsion spring (not shown) wound around the center of rotation (C110), and the cam surface 10a is pressed against the cam body 14.

The operation handle 3 is provided with link connecting portions 3a and 3b protruding toward the back surface side at both front and rear ends, and between the front and rear link connecting portions 3a and 3b when operating the operation handle 3. A handle recess 3c is formed as a handle (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

The other end of the first link 10 whose one end is connected to the handle base 1 is rotatably connected to the link connecting portion 3a in front of the operation handle 3, and the second link is connected to the link connecting portion 3b in the rear. The other ends of 11 are connected to each other.

The connection between the second link 11 and the operation handle 3 is rotatably and slidably connected, and in this example, a connecting pin fixed to the rear link connecting portion 3b and providing a rotation center (C311) is provided. The center of rotation (C311), that is, the connecting pin, is made slidable by inserting it into the elongated hole 15 formed at the end of the second link 11. After the connecting pin is inserted into the elongated hole 15, it is appropriately prevented from coming off by a retaining means.

As shown in FIG. 3, the center of rotation of the first link 10 with the handle base 1 (C110), the center of rotation of the first link 10 with the operation handle 3 (C310), the connecting pin of the operation handle 3 (C311), and The center of rotation (C111) of the second link 11 with respect to the handle base 1 is arranged at the apex position of the parallelogram, and the elongated hole 15 positions the connecting pin (C311) at the apex position of the parallelogram at one end position (1 end position). (Initial end position), it is extended slightly backward, that is, in the direction in which the link length of the second link 11 is extended by sliding the connecting pin (C311).

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second link 11 uses a torsion spring wound around the center of rotation (C111) with the handle base 1 to bring the second link 11 to the initial position of the operation handle 3. While being urged to the corresponding initial rotation position side, the first link 10 is placed around the rotation center (C310) of the first link 10 and the operation handle 3 at the initial rotation position corresponding to the initial position of the operation handle 3. A torsion spring 16 urging to the side is wound (see FIG. 4A), and the torsion spring wound around the center of rotation (C111) between the second link 11 and the handle base 1 holds the end. It functions as a spring 12 and urges the connecting pin (C311) to the initial termination position in the elongated hole 15, that is, to the apex position side of the parallelogram described above, and holds the connecting pin (C311) at that position.

Therefore, in this example, when the electric actuator 2 is driven to rotate the cam body 14 counterclockwise in FIG. 3 with the operation handle 3 in the initial position shown in FIG. 3, the first link 10 is centered on rotation. (C110) Rotate clockwise.

As described above, the second link 11 and the operation handle 3 are held at the initial terminal position where the link length of the second link 11 is minimized by the action of the terminal holding spring 12. , 1st and 2nd links 10 and 11, the operation handle 3 and the handle base 1 form a parallel crank mechanism having the handle base 1 as a fixed link, and the operation handle 3 is set to the initial position by the rotation of the first link 10. While maintaining the parallel posture, move to the use position shown in FIG. 4 (a).

When the operation handle 3 reaches the use position, the drive of the electric actuator 2 is stopped by a switch (not shown), the operation handle 3 is held at the use position, and when the electric actuator 2 is reversely driven from this state, the rotation center (C110) is reached. The torsion spring wound around the first link 10 returns to the initial rotation position, and the operation handle 3 returns to the initial position.

At the position of use, the operation handle 3 maintains a posture parallel to the door surface, and then by pulling out the rear end side to the outside of the door, the operation handle 3 is centered on rotation with the first link 10 (C310). ) It can rotate around until it comes into contact with a stopper (not shown), and can move to a latch release position tilted from the front end portion toward the rear end portion as shown in FIG. 4 (b).

As shown in FIG. 4B, in the rotation of the operation handle 3 from the used position to the latch release position, the connecting pin (C311) slides in the elongated hole 15 toward the opposite end side, and substantially the second link 11 It is permissible to increase the link length of.

The rotation of the operation handle 3 from the use position to the latch release position is performed by a manual rotation operation, and the second link 11 corresponds to the use position of the operation handle 3 with the rotation operation of the operation handle 3 to the latch release position. It rotates further beyond the used rotation position and rotates to the latch release rotation position.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a support column 13 extending in the axial length direction of the center of rotation with respect to the handle base 1 is erected on the second link 11, and a lever operation protrusion 17 is erected from the tip of the support column 13 toward the front. Is thrust.

On the other hand, the handle base 1 is provided with a latch release lever 18. The latch release lever 18 has a cable connecting portion 18a and a driven protrusion 18b, and is rotatably attached to the handle base 1 around a rotation center (C18) extending in the front-rear direction. The latch release lever 18 is held clockwise in FIG. 5 (b), that is, in the initial rotation position shown in FIG. 5 (b), by an unexpected torsion spring wound around the center of rotation (C18).

As shown in FIG. 5B, the driven protrusion 18b of the latch release lever 18 has penetrated into the operating surface (S) of the lever operating protrusion 17 when the second link 11 is rotated, and the operating handle 3 With the movement from the initial position to the used position and the latch release position, the lever operating protrusion 17 moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 5 (b) and clockwise in FIG. 5 (c).

As is clear from FIG. 5, which shows the initial position of the operation handle 3, when the second link 11 is in the initial rotation position, the lever operation protrusion 17 and the driven protrusion 18b of the latch release lever 18 are in a non-contact state. When the operation handle 3 is operated from this state to the use position and the second link 11 is rotated to the use rotation position, the lever operation protrusion 17 comes into contact with the driven protrusion 18b as shown in FIG. 6A. ..

From this state, when the operation handle 3 is rotated to the latch release rotation position and the second link 11 is rotated to the latch release rotation position, the lever operation protrusion 17 causes the driven protrusion 18b as shown in FIG. 6 (b). It is pushed in and rotates counterclockwise around the center of rotation (C18) against the reaction force of the torsion spring.

The inner cable 19b of the cable device 19 in which the inner cable 19b is movably inserted into the outer cable 19a is connected to the cable connecting portion 18a of the latch release lever 18. One end of the outer cable 19a of the cable device 19 is fixed to the handle base 1 and the other end is fixed to the door latch device 20 fixed to the door. When the latch release lever 18 rotates, the operating force thereof goes through the inner cable 19b. It is transmitted to the door latch device 20 and the latch release operation is performed.

Further, the handle device incorporates an inertial stopper mechanism 21 that prevents the door from opening when a lateral impact load is applied to the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 5, the inertial stopper 7 mechanism is composed of a stopper protrusion 4 projecting from the support column 13 of the second link 11 and an inertial stopper 7 arranged on the handle base 1.

The stopper protrusion 4 is parallel to the lever-operated protrusion 17 described above, and is projected in the direction opposite to the lever-operated protrusion 17, that is, toward the rear in the shape of a wing piece, and is a second link. A first stopper 8 facing the second link 11 parallel to the side wall surface of the eleven, and a second stopper 9 arranged so as to be laminated on the first stopper 8 in a direction away from the side wall surface of the second link 11. It is formed in a stepped shape with and (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

The stopper protrusion 4 fixed to the second link 11 rotates around the rotation center (C111) of the second link 11 with the rotation of the second link 11, and when the operation handle 3 is in the initial position, that is, the second. When the link 11 is in the initial rotation position, it occupies the initial corresponding position in FIG. 7 (a), and when the second link 11 is in the used rotation position, it moves to the used corresponding position in FIG. 7 (b).

On the other hand, the inertial stopper 7 is rotatable around the center of rotation (C7) between the standby rotation position shown in FIG. 7 and the stopper rotation position shown in FIG. 8, and as shown in FIG. 7A, the inertial stopper 7 is inertial. The stopper 7 is urged toward the standby rotation position side by a torsion spring 22 wound around the center of rotation (C7).

The inertial stopper 7 is formed as a cylinder whose center of gravity is set so as to move from the standby rotation position to the stopper rotation position due to inertia when a collision force due to a side collision is applied.

Further, the inertial stopper 7 has first and second stopper surfaces 5 and 6 formed by utilizing the side wall. As shown in FIG. 7A, the first stopper surface 5 is arranged on the rotating surface of the first stopper 8 and is formed to have a diameter smaller than the diameter (D) of the second stopper surface 6 described later. Will be done.

Further, on the first stopper surface 5 of the inertial stopper 7, when the inertial stopper 7 is in the standby rotation position, as shown in FIG. 7A, the first stopper 8 of the stopper protrusion 4 at the initial corresponding position is formed. The position facing the open portion is open, and a gap 23 is formed in which the first stopper 8 can enter inward from this open portion. The gap 23 allows the first stopper 8 to move beyond the corresponding position to the position corresponding to the latch release rotation position of the second link 11.

On the other hand, on the second stopper surface 6 of the inertial stopper 7, when the inertial stopper 7 is in the standby rotation position, as shown in FIG. 7B, a position facing the second stopper 9 in the use-compatible position is located. A recess 24 is provided that is opened and allows the second stopper 9 to move to a position corresponding to the latch release rotation position of the second link 11.

Therefore, when the inertial stopper 7 is in the standby rotation position, the rotation of the second link 11 is not restricted, and the operation handle 3 can move to the initial position, the use position, and the latch release position.

On the other hand, when the lateral collision force of the vehicle is applied, the inertial stopper 7 rotates from the standby rotation position to the stopper rotation position. When the operation handle 3 is in the initial position, as shown in FIG. 8A, the movement path of the first stopper 8 is blocked by the first stopper surface 5 of the inertial stopper 7, and the operation handle 3 is in the used position. In some cases, as shown in FIG. 8B, the movement path of the second stopper 9 is blocked by the second stopper surface 6 of the inertial stopper 7 to restrict the movement.

As a result, regardless of the position of the operation handle 3, it is possible to reliably prevent the second link 11 from moving due to the side collision and the latch release lever 18 to operate, thereby unnecessarily opening the door.

The handle base 1 uses an operation handle 3 generated when the operation handle 3 is in the initial position and the collision force is applied to the vehicle by rotating from the standby position to the regulated position due to inertia when the collision force is applied to the vehicle. By providing a vehicle handle device in which an inertial stopper 7 is arranged that regulates movement to the position side and movement to the latch operation position side when the operation handle 3 is in the use position by the collision of the operation handle 3. Achieved.

The inertial stopper 7 rotates to the regulated position when a collision force such as a lateral collision is applied to the vehicle, and when the operation handle 3 is in the initial position, the portion corresponding to the inertial stopper 7 (stopper protrusion 4). When a part (first stopper 8) is in the used position, the operation handle 3 faces the other part (second stopper 9) of the stopper protrusion 4 from the initial position to the used position or from the used position. Movement to the latch operating position is restricted.

As a result, regardless of the position of the operation handle 3, it is possible to reliably prevent the second link 11 from moving due to the side collision and the latch release lever 18 to operate, thereby unnecessarily opening the door.
