With the development of modern science and technology, hidden door handle has become the mainstream design. Let’s take a look at what is hidden door handle. As the name suggests, the hidden door handle means that the vehicle adopts the hidden design door handle, and the door handle supports electric ejection and retraction. In recent years, more and more vehicle models have begun to adopt the design of hidden door handle.

Let’s first see when the hidden door handle appeared?

The first time the hidden door handle appeared was in 1952. At that time, it was developed by Mercedes Benz. At that time, the main reason for Mercedes Benz to develop the hidden door handle was to reduce the driving wind resistance of 300SL model participating in the racing competition, so as to improve the vehicle performance and reduce the fuel consumption. After continuous research, Mercedes Benz finally confirmed that the hidden door handle was the best choice. However, at that time, the hidden door handle was not widely used. However, with the development of modern society, the emergence of Tesla made the hidden door handle flourish again. Tesla used the hidden door handle on the model s to show its sense of science and technology and intelligence. Once the vehicle was listed, Won the attention of many consumers!

Why do vehicles use concealed door handles

The use of hidden door handles in vehicles is the trend of the times. In today’s highly competitive automobile market, if you want to hold the hearts of consumers, you need to have different configurations from other models, more eye-catching appearance and, of course, the most important safety! In terms of appearance, the most obvious is the door handle. When other vehicles still follow the rules and use the normal door opening mode, suddenly a vehicle uses the hidden door handle, and the turning back rate in the road is absolutely one of the few, which not only enhances the science and technology of the vehicle, but also plays the role of automatic publicity when the vehicle is driving on the road! Second, the design of the hidden door handle can make the overall design of the vehicle more holistic. When the door handle is retracted during driving, the hidden door handle can bring lower wind resistance coefficient and reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle!

Let’s look at the shortcomings of hidden door handles

Because of its more complex structure, the current hidden door handle needs the driving computer to control its pop-up and retraction. Even some models will have the situation that the door handle cannot pop out or retract, and the quality problem cannot be guaranteed. In northern winter, snow and even freezing will often occur, and even the vehicle may freeze! This phenomenon will greatly deepen the situation that the hidden door handle can not pop out. When the owner approaches the vehicle, although the trip computer can receive the instruction to pop up the door handle, the hidden door handle can not break through the freezing phenomenon and pop out due to the freezing of the door lock. Greatly affect the winter travel of car owners!

Uncommon factors of concealed door handle

In the final analysis, cost is the most important factor that hidden door handles are not widely popularized. Although as a car owner, it’s only so simple to replace the door handle, in terms of technology, the groove of the hidden door handle should be reserved when making the door, and because it is integrated into this groove, the sound insulation performance and sealing performance of the whole vehicle will be affected! At the same time, program settings should be reserved on the driving computer, and the overall cost of a set of processes is high!

Summary:

Although the hidden door handle is a scientific and technological configuration, from the perspective of practicability, the practicability of the hidden door handle is not high, especially in the case of travel in winter, it may delay the owner’s journey. However, if the hidden door handle can continue to improve the existing problems, the popularization is still very high! After all, now scientific and technological promotion is also the mainstream configuration!
