It can also realize automatic control of the light opening and closing. When the vehicle is driving at night, it can open the mirror cover 11 in a timely and accurate manner while bringing in the light, which is very convenient.
[0037] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that provides control.
[0038] In use, the external power supply is connected to the second guide plate 10 through the wiring harness terminal contact 18. The first guide plate 9 and the second guide plate 10 form a switch.

When it rotates to 45°, the end of the first guide plate 9 makes arc contact with the B point of the second guide plate 10, the LED light circuit is turned on, and the LED light shines. The mirror cover 11 is opened from 45° to the end position shown in the figure. The first guide plate 9 is always in contact with the second guide plate 10, and the circuit is continuously turned on. When the mirror cover 11 is closed to 45°, the first guide plate 9 rebounds and loses contact with the second guide plate 10. The circuit is not turned on, and the LED light goes out. The LED beads are 8mm away from the cover 4, which facilitates the uniform emission of light onto the surface of the cover 4. By rotating the mirror cover 11, the rotating shaft 7 is driven to effectively protect the upper mirror surface 3, ensuring safety during use. The rotating shaft 7 drives the pressing block 21 to press, and the pressing block 21 drives the first guide plate 9 to touch the lower second guide plate 10, thereby illuminating the internal PCB board 5. When using this device, the intensity of the internal light is controlled by opening and closing the mirror cover 11.
[0039] In summary, the LED light mounting structure for vehicle sun visors improves the overall functionality of the device. Through the cooperation between the first guide plate 9 and the second guide plate 10, the device can control the current input in real time during use, thereby controlling the light intensity and the switch opening and closing, which is very convenient. Furthermore, through the relationship between the base 14 and the contact plate 13, the device will not fall off during use, thus improving safety.
