[0018] The technical solution of the utility model is further specifically described below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the structural schematic diagram of the mirror adjustment and lens folding integrated control vehicle exterior rearview mirror of this embodiment. The vehicle exterior rearview mirror of this embodiment includes: a mirror body, an integrated motor part and a support assembly. Among them:

[0020] The mirror body includes a frame 1, a heating plate 2 and a lens 3. The frame 1 includes a raised upper edge 11 and a back plate 12, and the upper edge 11 surrounds the outer side of the back plate 12. A fixing block 121 is provided on the back plate 12. The heating plate 2 is fixed to the front of the frame 1 through the fixing block 121. A glue layer is provided on the front of the heating plate 2. The lens 3 is adhered to the heating plate 2 through the glue layer, and the upper surface of the lens 3 is 0.3 mm lower than the upper surface of the frame 1. The lens 3 is located within the protection range of the frame 1, but the position difference of 0.3 mm greatly reduces the impact of line of sight obstruction relative to the existing frame height. The inner side gap between the lens 3 and the frame 1 is less than 0.5 mm, and the side gap between the lens 3 and the frame 1 is almost negligible. The frame thickness of the frame 1 is 2 mm, which reduces the width of the frame and makes the frame extremely narrow.

[0021] The front of the frame 1 is provided with a circle of stepped buffering platform 13 along the inner wall of the raised upper edge 11 of the frame to provide vibration buffering for the heating plate. The front of the frame 1 is provided with a plurality of fixing structures 14 to be connected with the heating plate 2.

[0022] The integrated motor unit includes a substrate 4, a motor 5 and a folding shield 6. The substrate 4 is fixed to the back of the mirror frame 1. The substrate 4, the motor 5 and the folding shield 6 are fixedly connected together by bolts. The motor 5 is electrically connected to the heating plate 2 and the vehicle control unit through a wiring harness 51. The motor is controlled by the vehicle control unit, and the vehicle control unit gives the motor a voltage signal through a wiring harness 7. After receiving the voltage signal, the motor changes the angle position by changing the resistance. A mirror shell is provided on the outside of the integrated motor unit, and the mirror shell includes a decorative cover 7, a turn signal 8 and a lower mirror shell 9 assembled in sequence from top to bottom. The mirror shell is fixed to the rear side of the mirror frame to cover the integrated motor unit.

[0023] The support assembly includes an upper shield 101, a support 102, a lower shield 103 and a sealing gasket 104. The upper shield 101 and the lower shield 103 are used to seal the support 102, and are sealed by the sealing gasket 104. The upper end of the support 102 is provided with a connecting protrusion 1021, and the lower end of the folding shield 6 passes through the lower mirror housing 9 and is inserted into the protrusion 1021. A folding sealing gasket is provided between the folding shield and the lower mirror housing. The support 102 is connected to the folding shield. When the lens is turned upside down, the lower mirror housing and the upper shield maintain a maximum gap of 2mm.

[0024] In summary, the present application changes the traditional connection method between the lens and the frame (the mirror moves relative to the frame) and the working principle of the lens movement. The lens is pasted on the frame, eliminating a motor, and the mirror and the lens are integrated. The rotation is controlled by the same motor, which makes the lens area larger and the field of view better, the rearview mirror assembly lighter, and the shape more beautiful.

[0025] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent changes and modifications made to the present invention by those skilled in the art should all fall within the scope of the claims attached to the present invention.
