[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 The utility model provides a non-electric anti-fogging device for a rearview mirror, comprising an engine 1, an air compressor 2, a heat exchanger 3, and a rearview mirror 5. The engine 1 is connected to the air compressor 2, and the air compressor 2 is set as an air compressor 2 that is generally provided by a fuel vehicle, and can provide a 0.5-0.8MP air source. The air compressor 2 and the heat exchanger 3 are connected through an air pipe 4, and the heat exchanger 3 and the rearview mirror 5 are connected through an air pipe 4, and the air pipe 4 is set as a φ6 air pipe 4, and one end of the air pipe 4 is set in the rearview mirror 5.
[0024] In this embodiment, during operation, the air compressor 2 is driven by the engine 1, and the compressed air of the air compressor 2 is used as a heat transfer medium. The compressed gas is introduced into the heat exchanger 3 through the air pipe 4, and the compressed air is heated by the waste heat of the engine 1. The heated hot air is introduced into the outer shell of the rearview mirror 5 through the air pipe 4. The hot air is used to provide a heat source for the mirror surface of the rearview mirror 5 to prevent the mirror surface from fogging due to condensation water formed due to low temperature, so that it can operate in the coal mine gas mine environment, avoid the occurrence of electric sparks, and improve the safety of the staff at work.
[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3The rearview mirror 5 includes a shell 6, a lens 7 is arranged on one side of the shell 6, the shell 6 is clamped with the lens 7, a hose 8 is arranged on the inner side of the shell 6, the hose 8 is connected with the trachea 4 through a connector, an air hole 11 is arranged on the hose 8, the air hole 11 faces the lens 7, after the hot air is guided into the shell 6 through the trachea 4, the hot air in the trachea 4 enters the hose 8, and the heat is blown toward the lens 7 through the air hole 11 on the hose 8, so as to improve the anti-fogging effect of the lens 7.
[0026] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the hose 8 is laid out in a serpentine shape, and a clamp block 9 is provided between the corner of the hose 8 and the outer shell 6. The clamp block 9 is mounted on the outer shell 6, and an arc groove 10 is provided on the clamp block 9. The hose 8 is clamped in the arc groove 10, so that the hose 8 and the clamp block 9 can be conveniently connected or disassembled. The position of the hose 8 is fixed by the clamp block 9 to prevent the hose 8 from shaking, and the different positions of the hose 8 are fixed and restricted by the clamp block 9, so that the hose 8 can be arranged into a specified shape, thereby blowing hot air evenly toward the lens 7.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the connector includes a connecting cap 14, which is installed on the hose 8. The hose 8 is threadedly connected to the trachea 4. The hose 8 is connected to one end of the trachea 4 through the connecting cap 14, so that the heat in the trachea 4 can be stably transferred to the hose 8. When the hose 8 is damaged, the connecting cap 14 can be separated from the trachea 4 by rotating the connecting cap, so that the hose 8 can be disassembled and replaced.
[0028] In this embodiment, a plurality of through holes 12 are provided on the outer shell 6, and the plurality of outer shells 6 are evenly arranged around the outer circle of the lens 7. The through holes 12 can guide the hot air in the outer shell 6 to the outside of the outer shell 6 and form an air wall around the lens 7 to achieve a dust-proof effect. By installing fixing blocks on a specified number of through holes 12 to seal the through holes 12, the rapid loss of heat in the outer shell 6 can be avoided.
[0029] In this embodiment, a guide tube 13 is provided on one side of the through hole 12, and the guide tube 13 is threadedly connected to the through hole 12. The gas flowing out of the through hole 12 is guided by the guide tube 13 so that the gas blows toward the lens 7, thereby avoiding the formation of an air wall on the lens 7, achieving the effect of cleaning the surface of the lens 7 and preventing dust from approaching the lens 7.
[0030] In this embodiment, a threaded cap 15 is provided at one end of the hose 8 away from the trachea 4. The threaded cap 15 is threadedly connected to the hose 8. One end of the hose 8 is blocked by the threaded cap 15, so that the gas in the hose 8 can only flow out from the air hole 11, so that the gas pressure blown out of the air hole 11 is relatively large, which can accelerate the heating effect of the lens 7. By removing the threaded cap 15 from the hose 8, the gas in the hose 8 can be unobstructed, so that the gas can quickly fill the space inside the shell 6.
