Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a driving assembly having a fixed gear, a fixed rack, a movable intermediate rack, a movable gear, and a transmission rack. The movable intermediate rack cooperates with the fixed gear such that the movable intermediate rack is capable of being driven to reciprocate when the fixed gear rotates clockwise and counterclockwise; the movable rotary shaft is rotatably fixed to the movable intermediate rack, and the movable gear cooperates with the fixed rack such that the movable gear is capable of reciprocatingly translating along an extension direction of the fixed rack when the movable intermediate rack reciprocates, and the movable gear is capable of rotating about the movable rotary shaft; and the transmission rack is capable of driving a member to be driven. The transmission rack cooperates with the movable gear such that the transmission rack is capable of being driven to reciprocate so as to move the member to be driven when the movable gear rotates clockwise and counterclockwise. In the driving assembly of the present disclosure, the combination of gears and racks enables the transmission rack to have a smaller size and move at a faster speed for the same movement distance.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a door handle assembly. The door handle assembly includes a base, a handle, a transmission assembly, and a door lock lever driving component. The base defines a receiving space. The handle is arranged in the receiving space and movable relative to the base. The transmission assembly is rotatable relative to the base. The door lock lever driving component is connected to the transmission assembly and has a locked position and an unlocked position, and the door lock lever driving component is movable relative to the base between the locked position and the unlocked position. A movement of the handle relative to the base is capable of driving rotation of the transmission assembly relative to the base, to drive the door lock lever driving component to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. The door handle assembly of the present disclosure is suitable for a door lock lever made of a hard material (e.g., metal, or plastic), has a simple structure and a stable movement, and can drive the door lock lever driving component to move between the locked position and the unlocked position, thereby enabling locking and unlocking of a door lock.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a handle assembly for a door having a handle aperture. The handle assembly having a housing, a cover plate and a transmission device. The transmission device can move the cover plate between a closed and open position in response to an electronic signal and, when the cover plate is in the closed position, moving it to the open position by a pushing force from outside. In the handle system, the cover plate is driven by the motor, thus the handle assembly can be electrically connected to the controller, and the cover plate can be automatically opened or closed by means of the controller. The transmission device allows the operator to press the cover plate from outside of the handle assembly to open the cover plate in case of emergency, thus the operator's hand can access the operating cavity for operation, thereby improving the reliability of the handle assembly.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a door handle assembly including a push rod, an ejector rod, a first movable rotating shaft and a second movable rotating shaft. The push rod has a push rod first end and a push rod second end, the ejector rod has an ejector rod first end and an ejector rod second end, the push rod second end is rotatably connected to the ejector rod first end via the first movable rotating shaft, the second movable rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the ejector rod between the ejector rod first end and the ejector rod second end. When the ejector rod abuts against the handle, the push rod applies a first pushing force to the ejector rod, the ejector rod applies a second pushing force to the handle, a component force of the second pushing force in a second direction is greater than the first pushing force.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fastening assembly, comprising a fastening element, a compensation element, a holding element, and a limiting element. A limiting portion of the fastening element is provided at a head or between the head and a threaded portion and protrudes outward relative to an outer peripheral surface of the head. The compensation element includes a main body and a receiving hole running therethrough. The main body is provided with a limiting flange to stop the fastening element, and the compensation element can be connected to a first component and move relative to the first component in a longitudinal direction. The holding element at least partially surrounds the head. At least a part of the holding element has elasticity, and the holding element is configured to hold the fastening element substantially centrally in the receiving hole when the fastening element is not fastened to a second component, and to allow the fastening element to move relative to the compensation element in a transverse direction when the fastening element is fastened to the second component.
