Technical Field

The invention relates to a part for a vehicle, in particular to a two-section type door opener for the vehicle.

Background

The conventional door opening method for large and small vehicles is usually used to open the vehicle door in a one-step manner, but the conventional door opening method for large and small vehicles is still in the early door opening habit, and on the other hand, although the conventional door opening method for vehicles in two-step manner is often advocated, in practice, the driver or passenger does not pay attention to whether there is a vehicle or a person behind the vehicle before opening the vehicle door, or thinks about the vehicle after getting off the vehicle before opening the vehicle door, so that accidents can occur.

In order to reduce the number of car accidents caused by one-step door opening, car factories gradually push out an external or internal two-step door opening system and control the two-step door opening system with buttons or panels, but such related systems need to add a plurality of electronic parts in the system, and the complexity of the parts required by such systems is very high, which means that the manufacturing and assembling cost of the two-step door opening system is very high, so if one (or one) electronic part in the system fails, the two-step door opening system can be easily stopped and cannot operate. On the other hand, since the two-stage door opening system still needs to be operated by power supply, if the two-stage door opening system suddenly loses power supply, the two-stage door opening managed by the system will also stop operating synchronously.

In order to reduce the number of accidents caused by the one-stage door opening and solve the problem of the cost of the technology mainly using the electronic component system to control the two-stage door opening, manufacturers also study how to achieve the two-stage door opening effect by using a simple mechanical device, but the mechanical device to be developed is not easy to be applied to most of vehicle types, and the size of the mechanical device may influence whether the mechanical device is applicable and installed on the vehicle types of each brand.

In summary, in order to reduce the accident of the single-stage door opening and the development cost of the two-stage door opening related technology, and to be applicable to a large number of vehicle types, it is necessary to develop a two-stage door opening device or system that is applicable to most vehicle types and has a low cost.

In one embodiment, to ensure that the components are correctly positioned when the device is locked in the second through hole, the head 304 of the bottom plate 302 of the device is kept above when the device is locked, and the sliding member 308 is kept below the bottom plate 302 when the device 300 is locked. In one embodiment, the second through hole of the rear opening/closing surface S of the door is located above the door lock structure. Therefore, the device of the invention is locked above the door lock structure.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the relative positions of a two-piece door opener 400 and a latch 402 for a vehicle according to another embodiment. The latch 402 is of an existing construction and is typically secured to the rear side (i.e. B-pillar or C-pillar of the vehicle body) edge C of the door frame, as can be seen from the enlarged view of the latch 402 shown in fig. 4, the latch 402 is further composed of a front pillar 404, an outer pillar 406 and an inner pillar 408, and is locked to the edge C of the rear side of the door frame (i.e. the B pillar or C pillar of the vehicle body), while the inboard side 408 faces the interior of the vehicle (i.e., the seat adjacent the vehicle), the outboard side 406 faces the exterior of the vehicle, in fig. 4, when the door rear opening and closing surface moves toward the rear edge of the door opening and closing surface of the vehicle body (i.e., the door moves toward the vehicle body, as indicated by the arrow W), the outer pillar is adjacent to the door rear opening and closing surface S and contacts the device 400, wherein the device 400 further embeds the catch 402 in the hook 412 of the sliding member 410 (see description of fig. 5-7(a) (b) below). In one embodiment, the device 400 further embeds the outer post 406 of the latch 402 in the hook 412 of the sliding member 410.

In one embodiment, in the above-mentioned apparatus, the material of the components may be stainless steel in addition to the rubber ring.

Referring to fig. 5-7, fig. 5-7 illustrate a two-stage door opening device and a lock latch engaging path for a vehicle and a two-stage door opening method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the sliding member 502 of the two-piece door opener 500 further has a third side wall 504 and a fourth side wall 506, and when the outer side pillar of the lock 508 pushes the third side wall 504 and moves along the third side wall 504 to the hook portion, the fourth side wall 506 gradually approaches the stop 510 of the door opener.

As shown in fig. 6, after the fourth side wall 606 of the two-piece door opener 600 contacts the stopper 604 and the sliding member 602 is pushed upward by the stopper 604, the outer side column of the lock catch 608 enters the hook 610 along the third side wall 616 and is inserted into the hook 610 of the sliding member 602, and further, the hook 610 further includes a hook groove 612 and an accommodating groove 614, and the lock catch 608 passes through the hook groove 612 and enters the accommodating groove 614 to complete the insertion, so that the outer side column of the lock catch 608 is seen to be inserted into the accommodating groove 614. As can be seen, the outer posts of the striker 608 are already engaged in the receiving slots 614 when the door is closed.

In one embodiment, when the latch is inserted into the receiving groove of the hook, the first axis 618 and the second axis 620 intersect to form a second angle θ 2.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7(a) (b), after the outer pillar of the lock 710 is inserted into the hook 704 of the sliding member 702, if the user wants to open the door in the two-stage door opening device 700 according to the present invention, the user will first open the door to pull the lock 710 to the receiving slot 706 to slide and rotate the sliding member 702, when the receiving slot 706 reaches the first axis 714, the lock 710 will start sliding downward from the receiving slot 706 and abut against the hook 708 (as shown in fig. 7 (a)) to complete the first-stage door opening operation, and then move the door in the vehicle body direction (as shown by arrow W) for reducing the force of the lock 710 abutting against the hook, so that the hook 704 of the sliding member 702 will move downward (as shown by arrow Z) to be separated from the lock 710 as shown in fig. 7(b) Then, the lock 710 is separated from the hook groove along the third sidewall 712 of the sliding member 702 to complete the second stage of door opening. When the lock catch slides from the receiving groove and abuts against the hook groove, the first axis 714 and the second axis 716 intersect to form a third angle θ 3. In view of the above, the function of the receiving groove is to insert the outer pillar of the lock catch therein, and to be pulled by the lock catch 710 to drive the sliding member 702 to slide and rotate when the door is opened.

In one embodiment, the minor axis diameter of the sliding hole is greater than the diameter of the screw, so that the sliding member can move and rotate freely. In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the spacer is smaller than the minor axis of the sliding hole.

In some embodiments, the stopper of the first sidewall is further located at the end of the first sidewall, and the thickness of the stopper is thicker than that of the sliding member, so that after the sliding member is pushed and contacts the stopper, the sliding member is effectively pushed and pushed upwards by the stopper to limit the displacement direction of the sliding member, and the upper end of the long axis of the sliding hole is far away from the screw.

The construction, features and functions of the present invention are described in detail in the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, which are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited by the scope of the drawings, and the equivalent embodiments modified by the changes or modifications according to the idea of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention covered by the description and the drawings.
