The camera is used to capture the scene in the blind spot of the vehicle and present the image captured by the camera on the display assembly, thereby monitoring the blind spot. This increases the driver's field of vision, further reduces the blind spot of the vehicle, and thus improves driving safety.

[0018] (2) The lens in the present invention is mounted on the frame and fixedly connected to the support plate, and the height difference formed between the support plate and the frame is exactly the thickness of the lens, so that the connection between the lens and the frame is flat and compact, thereby ensuring a firm structure; the display screen assembly is arranged between the support hook and the support plate, so that the display screen assembly is fixed on the frame to avoid looseness, thereby ensuring a firm connection structure; and then it is installed on the vehicle body through a connecting bracket, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0019] (3) The present invention realizes the preliminary positioning of the back plate and the frame by inserting the plug-in board into the slot, and realizes the firm connection between the back plate and the frame by inserting the first hook into the first slot, which is also convenient for disassembly.

[0020] (4) The interfaces on the groove wall of the groove in the present invention are SD card interfaces, USB structures, etc., which are directly connected to the mainboard and can store the content of the camera. When these interfaces are not used, the groove can be closed by a cover plate to ensure the sensitivity of the interface and the aesthetic appearance. In addition, the cover plate can be firmly installed on the groove by connecting the first positioning column and the first positioning hole.

[0021] (5) In the present invention, the first folding plate and the second folding plate cooperate to form a clip that can be fixed on the vehicle body to achieve a fixed connection of the electronic rearview mirror.

[0022] (6) The present invention uses a fastener to firmly connect the connecting bracket to the housing, which is easy to disassemble.

[0023] (7) In the present invention, the arc-shaped block on the neutral plate can be inserted into the arc-shaped groove on the limiting plate, thereby fixing the position of the fastening member, that is, the bottom plate is fixed on the back plate.

[0024] (8) In the present invention, the second positioning column and the second positioning hole are used to cooperate with each other to achieve the initial positioning of the fixing plate and the bottom plate, and then the second hook is locked in the second slot to achieve a firm connection between the fixing plate and the bottom plate, which is convenient for disassembly.

[0025] (9) The cross section of the second positioning column in the present invention is a trapezoidal structure, so that the second positioning column can be firmly connected to the second positioning hole.

[0026] (10) In the present invention, the movable plate is fixed to the bottom plate by the bevel teeth being inserted into the bevel grooves. At the same time, the movable plate can be manually pushed upward to shrink the distance between the first folding plate and the second folding plate so that it can be clamped on the vehicle body. The cooperation of the bevel teeth and the bevel grooves can enable the movable plate to move in one direction, thereby preventing the second folding plate from loosening to ensure the firmness of the clamping. The fixed plate is firmly connected to the bottom plate to ensure that the movable plate can move in the inner cavity.

[0027] (11) The limiting ear in the present invention is installed in the card slot, so as to ensure the upward and downward movement of the movable plate to adjust the distance between the first folding plate and the second folding plate.

[0028] (12) In the present invention, the T-shaped plate is engaged with the vehicle body to achieve a firm connection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
