Abstract

A door pop-up system includes a check link, which is rotatably coupled to a body of a vehicle, and a pressure member, which is rotatably arranged inside a door. The check link has a tip portion to enter the inside of the door. The pressure member presses a tip of the check link in a movement direction of the check link in which the check link moves as the door in a closed position is actuated to be opened. The door in a closed position is actuated to be opened by rotation of the pressure member and pressing of the tip of the check link with the pressure member. The pressure member has a pressure surface at which the tip of the check link is pressed. The pressure surface has a restriction surface to restrict displacement of the check link in a height direction.

Claims

1. A door pop-up system comprising:

a link member configured to be rotatably coupled to a body of a vehicle, the link member having a tip portion to enter an inside of a door, which is rotatably coupled to the body; and

a pressure member rotatably arranged inside the door, wherein the pressure member presses the tip portion of the link member in a movement direction of the link member in which the link member moves as the door in a closed position is actuated to be opened, wherein

the door in a closed position is actuated to be opened by rotation of the pressure member and pressing of the tip portion of the link member with the pressure member,

the pressure member has a pressure surface at which the tip portion of the link member is pressed, and

the pressure surface has a restriction surface to restrict displacement of the link member in a direction different from the movement direction of the link member,

wherein the restriction surface is formed using a resin material.

2. A door pop-up system comprising:

a link member configured to be rotatably coupled to a body of a vehicle, the link member having a tip portion to enter an inside of a door, which is rotatably coupled to the body; and

a pressure member rotatably arranged inside the door, wherein the pressure member presses the tip portion of the link member in a movement direction of the link member in which the link member moves as the door in a closed position is actuated to be opened, wherein

the door in a closed position is actuated to be opened by rotation of the pressure member and pressing of the tip portion of the link member with the pressure member,

the pressure member has a pressure surface at which the tip portion of the link member is pressed, and

the pressure surface has a restriction surface to restrict displacement of the link member in a direction different from the movement direction of the link member,

wherein the restriction surface is curved in a manner such that the restriction surface surrounds the tip portion of the link member.
