DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the utility model should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in this application do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. "Including" or "comprising" and similar words mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word cover the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. "Connect" or "connected" and similar words are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0026] At present, vehicles have become the most commonly used means of transportation for people's daily travel. The rearview mirror of a vehicle is the main component for the driver to observe the situation behind the vehicle. In order to display more information in the rearview mirror, there are more and more rearview mirror products, such as: dual-mode rearview mirror, which can display the scene recorded by the camera (i.e. the effect of using streaming media rearview mirror) and the scene reflected by the reflector (i.e. the effect of using physical reflector).

[0027] In order to display streaming media information (such as the information currently being recorded by the dashcam) and the information reflected by a conventional reflector (such as the information reflected by a physical reflector), the current dual-mode rearview mirror is mainly composed of a display screen, an LC (Liquid Crystal) mirror and a cover glass stack. The difference between an LC mirror and an ordinary liquid crystal display is that the backlight source of an ordinary liquid crystal display is usually opaque, while the LC mirror can be switched to freely switch between opaque and transparent. That is, when the LC mirror is not powered on, the backlight source is transparent, and it can play the role of a reflector to display the scene reflected by the reflector. When the LC mirror is powered on, the backlight source is opaque, and it plays the role of a liquid crystal display to show the information on the display screen and display streaming media information.

[0028] However, due to the stacking and spacing between the display screen and the LC mirror, and the stacking and spacing between the LC mirror and the cover glass, the thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror is relatively large, affecting the appearance. In addition, due to the setting of the LC mirror, in the streaming media rearview mirror mode, the LC mirror is powered on to be in high transmittance mode, so that the information on the display screen can be displayed through the LC mirror. The LC power-on process will increase the power consumption of the dual-mode rearview mirror; in the physical reflector mode, the reflectivity of the LC mirror is about 40-45%, and the mirror surface is yellowish, affecting the user experience.

[0029] Based on this, the present application provides a dual-mode rearview mirror, including a rearview mirror 10 (i.e., the streaming media rearview mirror described above) and a reflector 20 (i.e., the physical reflector described above), and the use mode of the dual-mode rearview mirror is switched by switching the position of the reflector 20 relative to the rearview mirror 10. The rearview mirror 10 is composed of a display screen and a cover glass, which is thin and beautiful. When the reflector 20 is used, it is attached to the rearview mirror 10 to avoid a gap between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, so that it does not increase the extra thickness, and ensures the beauty of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0030] In addition, the user can also switch the usage mode of the dual-mode rearview mirror according to his or her driving habits. When the user is accustomed to using the rearview mirror 10, the reflector 20 is stored outside the rearview mirror 10; when the user is accustomed to using the reflector 20, the reflector 20 is set close to the rearview mirror 10, which makes it convenient for the user to switch the usage mode without affecting the reflection efficiency of the reflector 20 and the power consumption of the rearview mirror 10.

[0031] The following describes in detail the technical solutions of one or more embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments. A dual-mode rearview mirror, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a rearview mirror 10 and a reflector 20;

[0032] The rearview mirror 10 is provided with a slide groove 30, and the reflector 20 is provided with a slide rod 40. The slide rod 40 is inserted into the slide groove 30 and can rotate relative to the slide groove 30 until the reflector 20 is fitted with the rearview mirror 10; the slide rod 40 can move relative to the slide groove 30 until the reflector 20 is stored in the periphery of the rearview mirror 10.

[0033] Specifically, the slide bar 40 moves in the slide groove 30 to realize the movement of the reflector 20 relative to the rearview mirror 10, the slide bar 40 rotates in the slide groove 30 to realize the rotation of the reflector 20 relative to the rearview mirror 10, and the slide bar 40 moves in the slide groove 30 to move the reflector 20 to the periphery of the rearview mirror 10 or to move away from the periphery of the rearview mirror 10; when the reflector 20 moves from the periphery of the rearview mirror 10 to the periphery away from the rearview mirror 10, the slide bar 40 0 can be rotated in the slide groove 30 until the reflector 20 is fitted with the rearview mirror 10, so as to switch the use mode of the dual-mode rearview mirror to the reflector mode. When the reflector 20 is rotated relative to the rearview mirror 10 until the reflector 20 and the slide groove 30 are located on the same horizontal line, the slide bar 40 moves in the slide groove 30, so that the reflector 20 moves relative to the slide groove 30 to the periphery of the rearview mirror 10, so as to complete the storage, and the dual-mode rearview mirror is switched to the rearview mirror mode.

[0034] In the present embodiment, the slide bar 40 moves in the slide groove 30 to drive the reflector 20 to move, and the slide bar 40 rotates in the slide groove 30 to drive the reflector 20 to rotate. The reflector 20 is fitted with the rearview mirror 10 by the movement and rotation of the slide bar 40 in the slide groove 30, or is located at the periphery of the rearview mirror 10 for storage. When the rearview mirror 10 is in use, the reflector 20 is stored at the periphery of the rearview mirror 10, which neither increases the thickness of the rearview mirror 10 nor realizes the storage of the reflector 20. When the reflector 20 is in use, the reflector 20 is fitted with the rearview mirror 10 to avoid the generation of a gap between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, thereby avoiding the increase in the thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror to the greatest extent and avoiding the influence of the thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror on the appearance. In addition, the separate setting of the rearview mirror 10 and the reflector 20 can avoid mutual influence between the two, improve the reflection efficiency of the reflector 20, and reduce the power consumption of the rearview mirror 10.

[0035] In some embodiments, the rearview mirror 10 includes a first connecting portion 11 and a first mirror portion 12, wherein the first mirror portion 12 is embedded in the first connecting portion 11, and a slide groove 30 is provided on the first connecting portion 11;

[0036] The reflector 20 includes a second connecting portion 21 and a second mirror portion 22, wherein the second mirror portion 22 is embedded in the second connecting portion 21, and a slide bar 40 adapted to the slide groove 30 is disposed on the second connecting portion 21;

[0037] When the reflector 20 is in contact with the rearview mirror 10 , the first mirror surface 12 is in contact with the second mirror surface 22 ; when the reflector 20 is stored in the periphery of the rearview mirror 10 , the reflector 20 is located in the periphery of the first connecting portion 11 .

[0038] Specifically, the first mirror portion 12 of the rearview mirror 10 is a cover glass, that is, the outer part capable of displaying streaming media information, the first connecting portion 11 is a shell for installing the cover glass and the display screen, the shell of the rearview mirror 10 is connected to the vehicle body to fix the rearview mirror 10 on the vehicle body, and the rearview mirror 10 is located at the upper part of the front windshield corresponding to the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat, which is convenient for users to watch; the second mirror portion 22 of the reflector 20 is a part capable of reflecting information, that is, the mirror surface part of the reflector 20, and the second connecting portion 21 is a mounting structure for mounting the mirror surface. The first connecting portion 11 is provided with the slide groove 30, and the second connecting portion 21 is provided with the slide rod 40, which can realize the movement and rotation of the reflector 20 relative to the rearview mirror 10 without affecting the information display of the first mirror portion 12 and the second mirror portion 22.

[0039] In this embodiment, it is limited that the sliding rod 40 is located at the second connecting part 21, and the sliding groove 30 is located at the periphery of the first connecting part 11, so as to realize the rotation and movement of the reflector 20 relative to the rearview mirror 10, avoid affecting the first mirror surface part 12 and the second mirror surface part 22, and thus ensure the normal use of the rearview mirror 10 and the reflector 20.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slide groove 30 is located at the top of the first connecting portion 11 , the slide rod 40 is located at the top of the second connecting portion 21 , and the end of the slide rod 40 is protruded relative to the second connecting portion 21 to be inserted into the slide groove 30 .

[0041] Specifically, the slide groove 30 is located at the top of the first connecting part 11, and there are two slide grooves 30. Both ends of the slide rod 40 are protruded relative to the second connecting part 21, and both ends of the slide rod 40 are respectively inserted into the two slide grooves 30. The distance between the two slide grooves 30 is adapted to the width of the reflector 20, so that when the reflector 20 moves relative to the streaming media reflector, it can move between the two slide grooves 30; the lengths of the two slide grooves 30 are the same and adapted to the height of the reflector 20. When the reflector 20 moves relative to the rearview mirror 10, that is, when the reflector 20 moves at the top of the rearview mirror 10, the length of the slide groove 30 is set to be adapted to the height of the reflector 20, so that the reflector 20 can be moved to be completely located at the top of the rearview mirror 10, so as to avoid the reflector 20 protruding relative to the rearview mirror 10, thereby avoiding the reflector 20 affecting the information display of the rearview mirror 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, it is defined that the slide groove 30 is located at the top of the first connecting portion 11, and the slide rod 40 is located at the top of the second connecting portion 21, that is, it is defined that the reflector 20 is stored to the top of the rearview mirror 10 when stored, and the bottom end of the reflector 20 rotates relative to the rearview mirror 10 to make the reflector 20 fit the rearview mirror 10. Such an arrangement enables the reflector 20 to maintain a stable state under the action of its own gravity when being stored or fit with the rearview mirror 10, which is beneficial to the use of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0043] In some embodiments, a buckle 23 is disposed at a side end of the second connection portion 21 , and a slot 13 for engaging with the buckle 23 is disposed at a side end of the first connection portion 11 .

[0044] Specifically, the top of the second connecting portion 21 is provided with the sliding rod 40, and the reflector 20 can rotate around its top end. A buckle 23 is provided at the side end of the second connecting portion 21, and a corresponding slot 13 is provided at the side of the first connecting portion 11, so that a force can be applied to the side end of the reflector 20 to keep the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10 in a stable fit, which is beneficial to the stability of the reflector mode of the dual-mode rearview mirror; the second connecting portion 21 and the first connecting portion 11 are engaged with each other through the buckle 23 and the slot 13, so that the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10 are stably fitted, and by releasing the buckle 23 and the slot 13, the second connecting portion 21 can be moved away from the first connecting portion 11 to release the fitting setting of the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, so as to facilitate the storage of the reflector 20, and the arrangement of the buckle 23 and the slot 13 is convenient for user operation, thereby facilitating the switching of the use mode of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a buckle 23 is provided at the bottom end of the second connection portion 21 , and a slot 13 for engaging with the buckle 23 is provided at the bottom of the first connection portion 11 .

[0046] Specifically, the sliding rod 40 is provided at the top of the second connecting portion 21, and the reflector 20 can rotate around its top end. Compared with providing the buckle 23 at the side end of the second connecting portion 21, providing the buckle 23 at the bottom end of the second connecting portion 21 and providing a corresponding slot 13 at the bottom of the first connecting portion 11 can apply force to the bottom end of the reflector 20, so that the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10 fit more closely and are convenient for user operation.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a button 14 connected to the switch of the rearview mirror 10 is provided in the card slot 13;

[0048] When the buckle 23 is located in the slot 13 , the buckle 23 abuts against the button 14 , and the rearview mirror 10 is closed.

[0049] Specifically, when the button 14 is pressed, the rearview mirror 10 is closed, and when the pressing action on the button 14 is released, the rearview mirror 10 is opened. That is to say, when the buckle 23 of the reflector 20 is located in the card slot 13 and the reflector 20 is connected to the rearview mirror 10, that is, when the user uses the reflector 20, the button 14 is pressed and the rearview mirror 10 is closed. The rearview mirror 10 can be closed when the user is not using the rearview mirror 10, thereby avoiding continuous power consumption of the rearview mirror 10, which is beneficial to energy saving and environmental protection.

[0050] In some embodiments, a stopper 50 is disposed at the end of the slide rod 40 to limit the slide rod 40 from penetrating and connecting with the slide groove 30 .

[0051] Specifically, the two ends of the slide rod 40 are inserted into the two slide grooves 30, and the limit member 50 is arranged at the end of the slide rod 40 to prevent the slide rod 40 from leaving the slide groove 30 during movement or rotation, so that the slide rod 40 can be stably located in the slide groove 30, thereby making the reflector 20 stably connected to the rearview mirror 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0052] In some embodiments, a locking member 60 adapted to the slide rod 40 is provided at the end of the slide groove 30 to lock the slide rod 40 .

[0053] Specifically, a locking piece 60 adapted to the slide bar 40 is provided on the slide groove 30, which can lock the slide bar 40 to prevent the slide bar 40 from moving or rotating in the slide groove 30. During the use of the dual-mode rearview mirror, when the reflector 20 is stored in the periphery of the rearview mirror 10, locking the slide bar 40 can prevent the slide bar 40 from moving in the slide groove 30 under the action of external force, thereby preventing the reflector 20 from moving relative to the rearview mirror 10, ensuring that the user can stably receive information from the rearview mirror 10. When the reflector 20 is in contact with the rearview mirror 10, locking the slide bar 40 can prevent the slide bar 40 from rotating or moving in the slide groove 30 under the action of external force, ensuring the stability of the reflector 20, so that the user can stably receive information from the reflector 20.

[0054] In addition, when the reflector 20 is stored, the slide bar 40 is located at one end of the slide groove 30, and when the reflector 20 is in contact with the rearview mirror 10, the slide bar 40 is located at the other end of the slide groove 30. Therefore, the locking piece 60 is provided at the end of the slide groove 30, so that the slide bar 40 can be locked in both usage modes of the dual-mode rearview mirror, thereby ensuring the stable use of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0055] In some embodiments, a hand buckle 70 is disposed on the second connecting portion 21 .

[0056] Specifically, due to the setting of the reflector 20, when switching the use mode of the dual-mode rearview mirror, the reflector 20 needs to be moved or rotated. The hand buckle 70 is provided on the second connecting portion 21 of the reflector 20, so that the user can move or rotate the reflector 20 through the hand buckle 70, thereby preventing the user from touching the second mirror surface portion 22 when moving or rotating the reflector 20, thereby preventing the second mirror surface portion 22 from being dirty and affecting the use of the reflector 20. In addition, the hand buckle 70 can be set to an arc shape to fit the user's hand shape, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0057] The present application also provides a vehicle, comprising a dual-mode rearview mirror as described above.
