Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a sun visor auxiliary hinge structure and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Some vehicles use a light-transmitting sunshade structure, on which a transparent or translucent light-transmitting portion is provided. In order to ensure the stability of the light-transmitting sunshade structure, a secondary hinge structure is provided on the side of the light-transmitting sunshade structure that is far from the vehicle side door.

[0003] The secondary hinge structure in the prior art has the following problems:

[0004] Some transparent sunshade structures are provided with a larger mounting seat, and the rotating shaft of the secondary hinge structure is installed in the mounting seat. The larger mounting seat will reduce the size of the transparent part of the transparent sunshade structure, and there are also problems such as a large number of parts and complex assembly. For example, a reed switch-controlled fill light automobile sunshade proposed in the patent application with application number CN202022365850.5 is provided with a larger cover plate, and the rotating shaft of the secondary hinge structure is installed in the cover plate.

[0005] Some solutions embed the shaft of the secondary hinge structure into the light-transmitting part of the light-transmitting sun visor structure by injection molding. Although this can reduce the impact of the secondary hinge structure on the size of the light-transmitting part of the light-transmitting sun visor structure, the user can see the shaft through the light-transmitting part, which has an adverse effect on the aesthetics of the light-transmitting sun visor structure. In addition, the shaft is a rigid part that is difficult to deform. During a vehicle collision, the impact force that is difficult to absorb by the shaft can easily cause the light-transmitting part of the light-transmitting sun visor structure to break and the secondary hinge structure to disengage, making it difficult to ensure the safety performance of the light-transmitting sun visor structure. For example, a translucent color-changing sun visor proposed in a patent application with application number CN202321991258.3 embeds the shaft skeleton into the color-changing sun visor body.
