News on January 3, according to Tianyancha, Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. recently successfully obtained a patent involving "hidden door handles, doors and vehicles" technology. The patent abstract reveals the composition of this hidden door handle, including elements such as a base, an operating port, a switch assembly, and a handle assembly.
In this innovative design, the handle assembly can be flipped to a position that can trigger the switch assembly in the first triggering position, so that the door can be unlocked.
According to our understanding, this hidden door handle has unique characteristics. It does not require an electric drive component and can realize automatic reset of the handle component, thus simplifying the structure. This not only reduces the weight of the entire vehicle, but also reduces production costs while providing a more convenient operating experience.
Xiaomi’s first car, the Mi SU7, uses a semi-hidden door handle design. Lei Jun explained that the original design was not based on anti-freeze considerations, but was inspired by his experience during the car wash process when he found that hidden door handles were easier to clean. This design not only increases the neatness of the vehicle's appearance, but also improves the user experience.
Although some netizens have expressed concerns about the use of hidden door handles by car manufacturers, especially when it snows in cold northern regions, it may cause the hidden door handles to freeze , affecting normal use. However, even without the hidden door handle, Xiaomi SU7 still maintains excellent wind resistance performance.
Lei Jun revealed that the drag coefficient of Xiaomi SU7 is 0.195Cd, which is the lowest among cars in the world. This is due to the vehicle's aerodynamic design, which includes 8 sets of air ducts and 17 air outlets, which further optimizes the wind resistance coefficient and ensures the vehicle's excellent performance while driving.
