Door handle device for vehicle

摘要

A vehicle door handle device is configured so that, after a frame is assembled to an outer panel of a slide door, a link base, a connecting link, and a hand grip are mounted to the frame. Next, a lever and a cap are mounted to the hand grip and the frame, thereby assembling each component member to the outer panel. When the hand grip is moved through a door opening operation in the same direction as a slide door opening direction, an operation force for releasing a fully closed latch mechanism, which retains the slide door in a fully closed state, is generated. In addition, when the hand grip is moved through a door closing operation in the same direction as a slide door closing direction, an operation force for releasing a fully opened latch mechanism, which retains the slide door in a fully opened state, is generated.

主权项

1. A door handle device for a vehicle, comprising:
a frame configured to be fixed to an outer panel of a slide door of the vehicle from a door inner side and arranged along a vehicle front-rear direction; a link base configured to be mountable to one end portion of the frame through the outer panel; a connecting link rotatably mounted to the link base at a base end portion of the connecting link and being swingable in the vehicle front-rear direction; a hand grip mounted to the outer panel from a door outer side; a leg portion configured to be arranged at one end portion of the hand grip, rotatably mounted to a distal end portion of the connecting link, and inserted together with the link base and the connecting link to the one end portion of the frame through the outer panel; an arm portion configured to be arranged at another end portion of the hand grip and inserted to another end portion of the frame through the outer panel, the arm portion including an insertion hole; a grip portion arranged between the leg portion and the arm portion and extending along the vehicle front-rear direction at a vehicle outer side; a cap mounted to the frame from the door outer side in a state in which the outer panel is sandwiched between the frame and the cap at the another end portion of the hand grip; a lever mounted to the cap to be tiltable in a vehicle inward-outward direction and configured to be inserted into the insertion hole of the arm portion through the outer panel; a first biasing member for biasing the hand grip toward an initial position relative to the frame; and a second biasing member for biasing the connecting link toward an initial position relative to the frame, wherein when the hand grip is moved through a door opening operation in the same direction as a door opening direction to move the slide door in a fully closed state to an opened position, the hand grip is moved from the initial position in the door opening direction against a biasing force of the first biasing member and the lever tilts toward the vehicle outer side to generate an operation force for releasing a fully closed latch mechanism, which retains and locks the slide door in the fully closed state, and wherein when the hand grip is moved through a door closing operation in the same direction as a door closing direction to move the slide door in a fully opened state to a closed position, the hand grip and the connecting link are moved from the initial positions in the door closing direction against a biasing force of the second biasing member and the connecting link swings in the door closing direction of the slide door to generate an operation force for releasing a fully opened latch mechanism, which retains and locks the slide door in the fully opened state.
