Description

A Cable Fixing Apparatus of Inside Door Handle Assembly for Car}

The present invention relates to a cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly for automobiles, and more particularly, to a cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly for automobiles that can be fixed firmly and conveniently in a simpler structure.

Generally, the door is rotatably installed on the side of the vehicle, and the door is equipped with a door lock for locking the door.

Inside and outside door handles are provided on the inside and outside of the door, respectively, and a safety lock lever is provided near the inside door handle to restrict the operation of the inside door handle so that the door is not inadvertently opened while driving.

In the case of the safety lock lever, the method installed on the window glass side has been adopted for a long time, but recently, the method of installing the safety lock lever together in the same housing as the inside door handle is adopted.

1 is a perspective view showing a typical inside door handle assembly, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a cable fixing device of a conventional inside door handle assembly.

1 and 2, the housing 2 is fixed to the inside of the door 1, and the inside door handle 3 and the safety lock lever 4 are rotated on one side of the housing 2. The shaft 3a is possibly coupled.

At the ends of the door handle 3 and the safety lock lever 4, a cable 5 connected to a door lock (not shown) is connected. A rod 5a is formed at the end of the cable 5, and the mounting groove 3b and the clip 3c are provided at the ends of the inside door handle 3 and the safety lock lever 4 corresponding thereto. ) Is formed.

Accordingly, when the inside door handle 3 is pulled, the inside door handle 3 is rotated about an axis, and the cable 5 is pulled to release the door lock connected to the cable 5.

If the safety lock lever 4 is rotated about an axis, that is, locking, the unlocking of the inside door handle 3 is restricted so that the door 1 does not open even if the inside door handle 3 is pulled out.

However, in the cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly for a conventional vehicle, a clip and a mounting groove must be formed at the end of the inside door handle (or safety lock lever), and a "-" shaped rod must be formed at the end of the corresponding cable. Since a process is required, manufacturing is difficult and costs are rising.

In addition, it is difficult to assemble the rod into the clip and the mounting groove there is a problem that the workability is reduced.

The present invention was created to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inside door handle assembly for automobiles that can secure the cable firmly and simply with a simpler structure in fixing the cable to the ends of the inside door handle and the safety lock lever. Its purpose is to provide a cable anchoring device.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly for a vehicle for fixing the cable to the end of the inside door handle that is pivotally installed around the shaft, one side upper end of the door handle is a circular hole The upper plate is formed, the lower side of the door handle is formed at the lower end of the circular plate formed with a circular groove on the upper surface at a predetermined distance from the upper plate, and inserted into the circular hole and the circular groove of the upper / lower plate The end of the cable is provided with a cylindrical rod.

Hereinafter, a cable fixing device of an inside door handle assembly for a vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail.

Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly according to the invention, Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly according to the present invention, Figure 5 is an inside according to the present invention The operation state of the cable holding device of the door handle assembly.

3 to 5, the cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly according to the present invention includes a cable 5 at the end of the inside door handle 3 which is installed to be rotated about the shaft 3a. First, the upper plate 110 having a circular hole 112 is formed at one upper end of the inside door handle 3, and the lower end of one side of the inside door handle 3 is spaced a predetermined distance from the upper plate 110. A lower plate 120 having an insertion circular groove 122 is formed on the upper surface thereof.

Meanwhile, a cylindrical rod 130 is provided at the end of the cable 5 to be inserted into the circular hole 112 and the circular groove 122 of the upper and lower plates 110 and 120.

In other words, the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120 are formed at the ends of the inside door handle 3 and the safety lock lever 4, they are a predetermined distance from each other, more precisely the rod 130 is inserted It is formed at intervals of enough.

The upper plate 110 is formed with a circular hole 112 formed by cutting, and the circular groove 122 is formed on the upper surface of the lower plate 120. Therefore, both sides of the cylindrical rod 130 formed at the end of the cable 5 is inserted into the circular hole 112 and the circular groove 122, respectively.

At this time, the cable 5 is placed in the space between the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120. The reason why the rod 130, the circular hole 112 and the circular groove 122 is formed in a circular shape is that when the inside door handle 3 is rotated about the hinge 3a, the rod 130 is the circular hole 112. And to some extent in the circular groove 122 so that the cable 5 can be pulled smoothly.

Referring to the operation of the cable fixing device of the inside door handle assembly for a vehicle configured as described above are as follows.

First, when the cable 5 is coupled to the inside door handle and the safety lock lever, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the rod 130 of the cable 5 is inserted into the cut round hole 112.

In this state, when the rod 130 of the cable 5 is slightly lowered, the upper side of the rod 130 is inserted into the circular hole 112 and the lower side of the rod 130 is inserted into the circular groove 122 so that the cable ( The rod 130 of 5) is seated on the upper lower plate 120.

In this case, the cable 5 is located between the upper plate 110 and the lower plate 120.

In this state, when the inside door handle 3 (or the safety lock lever) is pulled, the inside door handle 3 (or the safety lock lever) is rotated around the hinge 3a, and at this time, the cable 5 is pulled to lock the door. (Not shown) is unlocked.

The rod 130 of the cable 5 is not only easily coupled to the circular hole 112 and the circular groove 122, but also the rod 130 of the cable 5 is circular in the process of operating the inside door handle 3. It is firmly fixed so as not to be arbitrarily separated from the hole 112 and the circular groove 122.

As described above, the present invention forms a circular hole and a circular groove, instead of forming a clip at the ends of the inside door handle and the safety lock lever as in the prior art, by coupling a cylindrical rod to the circular hole and the circular groove. Cables can be fixed simply and securely to the ends of inside door handles and safety lock levers.

That is, by simplifying the shape of the end of the inside door handle and the safety lock lever and the end of the cable, not only the cost can be reduced but also the workability is improved.

In addition, weight reduction can be realized, and the number of parts and the number of processes can be greatly reduced.
