  • Publication number: 20210072046
    Abstract: A sensor device for a motor vehicle for detecting an operation by a user, including at least one capacitive sensor which has a sensor electrode, which is coupled to a control and evaluation circuit. The sensor electrode has a primary detection section which extends adjacent to a detection region into which a body part of a user is moved for operation purposes. The sensor electrode is accommodated in a housing which runs, in sections, between the sensor electrode and the detection region. The sensor electrode is provided, in the region of the primary detection section, for increasing the electrical field in sections, with recesses and/or openings which are delimited by edges, so that a length at the limiting edges, which length is increased in relation to a continuous electrode area, is present in the primary detection section.

  • Publication number: 20210032914
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door handle arrangement includes a handle support and an outer shell which is fastened to the handle support. At least one electronics assembly comprising electronic components is arranged between the handle support and the outer shell. The handle support has at least one first chamber for receiving electronic components which are potted with a potting compound after the electronic components are inserted. A second chamber for receiving electronic components is formed between the handle support and the outer shell and the handle support has at least one aperture through which the second chamber can be filled with potting compound after the outer shell is fastened to the handle support. A method for producing a motor vehicle door handle arrangement of this kind is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200190870
    Abstract: A motor-vehicle door handle arrangement includes a handle, the handle including at least one antenna chamber with an antenna arranged therein, the antenna having a ferromagnetic core and a coil wound around the core. The antenna has connection regions for coupling to contact pins. A connection piece is produced by one-time or repeated plastic extrusion of pre-fabricated contact pins. The connection piece is arranged in the recess of the wall of the antenna chamber in a positive and/or non-positive manner, sealing the antenna chamber.

  • Publication number: 20190194983
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door handle assembly including a door handle. The door handle is equipped with at least one antenna support which receives at least one sensor plate of a capacitive proximity sensor, and the sensor plate is connected to a connection piece via contact pins in order to establish electric contacts. The sensor plate lies in the antenna support in a formfitting manner and is inserted into a groove-shaped or dovetail-shaped receiving area of the antenna support in the direction of the length of the sensor plate. The sensor plate and/or the antenna support has/have a latching connection in which the sensor plate is releasably latched in a pre-assembly position in order to allow the assembly of the connection piece on the sensor plate.

  • Patent number: 9435146
    Abstract: The invention concerns a door handle module for a vehicle with a door handle, which is mounted to move in a support frame for the opening of a door or hatch by a user, the door handle having at least one rest position and one working position, a mechanical coupling unit, through which movement of the door handle from the rest position to the working position can be transferred to a lock, a crash lock, which prevents movement of the door handle and/or coupling unit during the action of an acceleration force, especially during an accident, so that activation of the lock is avoided.
