Patent attributes
In a vehicle door lock control, an operating handle is provided at a door inside or outside a vehicle to enable a door to open and close. The handle is connected to an operating lever. In a locked position, the door cannot be opened by the operating handle, while it can be opened by the operating handle via a release lever in an unlocking position. The release lever pivotally secured on a base plate is connected to a door latch device of the door to allow the door latch device to disengage from a striker of a vehicle body in the unlocking position thereby opening the door by the operating handle. A lock control pin is moved by a knob lever to control the release lever to allow the door to open. The knob lever is operated by a knob manually inside the vehicle or by an actuator electrically.
