Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a door handle device for a vehicle such as an automobile.

(Prior Art) In the conventional vehicle door handle device, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the door handle 25 is pulled, the push-down projection 26 provided at the tip of the support arm 24 is moved to the swing lever. The swinging lever 20 is pushed down via the engagement plate 28 provided at the door lock 20, thereby opening the door lock release lever (not shown) via the rod 23 connected to the other end of the swinging lever 20. It's like that. that time,
The door handle 25 is returned to its original position by the return force of the handle spring 8, whereas the swing lever 20 is returned to its original position by a lever spring provided between one end of the swing lever 20 and the handle case 21 via a support shaft 22. This is done by the restoring force of 27.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in such a device, although there is a handle spring that returns the door handle, a separate spring is used separately to return the swing lever. As a result, the structure and shape become complicated, and the assembly work requires a lot of effort. In addition, a case etc. for holding the lever spring is required, which increases the number of parts, resulting in a considerable cost increase.

(Purpose of the present invention) In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, the present invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a door handle device for a vehicle in which a lever spring is eliminated and a swing lever is returned to its original position by a handle spring.

(Structure of the invention) Therefore, in the present invention, a swinging lever that swings by engaging with a support arm provided on the door handle is provided on the back side of the handle case that pivotally supports the door handle. One end is pivotally supported via a support shaft on a support part provided in the handle case, and the swing lever swings about the support shaft in conjunction with the pulling operation of the door handle, and the other end of the swing lever In a vehicle door handle device that opens a door lock release lever via a connecting rod, a spring is provided to always bias the door handle in the closing direction, and a push-down protrusion and a push-up protrusion are provided at the tip of the support arm. and this push-down protrusion is on its upper surface,
An engagement plate with which the push-up protrusions engage with the lower surface thereof is provided approximately at the center of the swing lever.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a rear view showing a vehicle door handle device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA, and FIG. 3 is a front view of FIG. 1. Figure 1, Figure 2,
As shown in FIG. 3, the door handle 1 is provided so as to cover the upper surface of the recess 3 on the front surface of the handle case 2, and a pair of support arms 4, 4 protruding from the upper part of the back surface are connected to the recess 3 on the front surface. A support shaft 6 is inserted through the portion 3 and attached to the support plates 5, 5 provided on the back surface of the handle case 2.
It is pivoted through. This support shaft 6 has one end attached to the support arm 4 on the right side of FIG.
Handle springs 8, which are each locked, are wound around each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the other support arm 4 is formed into a crank shape, and is provided with a chevron-shaped push-down protrusion 9 and a push-up protrusion 10. One end of a swing lever 12 is pivotally supported by the support portion 7 via a support shaft 11 . Two engaging plates 13a and 13b facing each other vertically are provided approximately at the center of the swinging lever 12, and the other end is connected via a rod 14 to a door lock release lever (not shown). The engagement plate 13
The lower surface of a is the push-up projection 10 of the support arm 4, and the upper surface of the engagement plate 13b is the push-down projection 9 of the support arm 4.
and are adapted to engage with each other.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. When the push-down projection 9 of the support arm 4 pushes down the swing lever 12 via the upper surface of the engagement plate 13b by pulling the door handle 1, the rod 14 provided at the other end of the swing lever 12 moves downward. Then, the door lock release lever is released. Next, when the pulling operation of the door handle 1 is completed, the door handle 1 returns to its original position by the return force of the handle spring 8. At that time, the push-up protrusion 10 of the support arm 4
Push up the swing lever 12 via the lower surface of 3a.
As a result, the return of the swinging lever 12 to the swinging lever 1
The handle spring 8 can be used instead of the lever spring disposed between the lever spring 2 and the support part 7, and the structure of the vehicle door handle itself can be simplified.

In the above embodiment, two engagement plates 13a and 13b were provided on the swing lever 12 so as to sandwich the tip of the support arm 4, but the shape is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. As shown, the tip of the support arm 4 is formed into a concave shape, and a push-down protrusion 16 and a push-up protrusion 17 are provided, and a swing lever 18 is provided between the push-down protrusion 16 and the push-up protrusion 17. It may also have a shape in which an engaging plate 19 is inserted.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has an excellent effect in that the swing lever of the vehicle door handle device can be returned to its original position by the handle spring instead of by the lever spring.
