Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015011218A1] A door handle system (2) according to the invention for a vehicle door (1) comprises a door handle (3) and at least one flap (12, 14, 50, 52, 54, 56) for reversibly closing a grip recess (6) set back to the rear of the door handle (3) in relation to the outer surface (5) of the vehicle door (1). The door handle system (2) further comprises an actuating device, by means of which the or each flap (12, 14, 50, 52, 54, 56) can be pivoted between a closed position (10) that covers the handle recess (6) and an open position (16) that opens the handle recess (6). The door handle system (2) also comprises a distance sensor, which is arranged at least partially on the flap (12, 14, 50, 52, 54, 56) or on at least one of the flaps (12, 14, 50, 52, 54, 56), and a control and evaluation unit. The latter is designed to use a first measurement signal, which is output by the distance sensor in the closed position (10), to deduce an approach of a vehicle user to the or each flap (12, 14, 50, 52, 54, 56), and on detection of the approach to activate the actuation device to move the or each flap (12, 14, 50, 52, 54, 56) into the open position (16). Furthermore, the control and evaluation unit is designed to use a second measurement signal, which is output by the distance sensor in the open position (16), to determine whether the door handle (3) is grasped by the vehicle user.
