DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the streaming media rearview mirror of the present invention includes a body 100, a switch assembly 200, a function selection assembly 300, a third elastic button group 360, a main control panel (not shown in the figure) and a bracket assembly 400. The basic structure of the body 100 is a shell and a display screen (not shown in the figure), and the side where the display screen is located is defined as the front side of the streaming media rearview mirror. The main control panel is installed inside the body 100, and displays the cameras electrically connected to the streaming media rearview mirror through the display screen. Figure 1 As shown, a switch assembly 200 can be set at the center position of the bottom of the body 100, and the switch assembly 200 is connected to the main control panel. The switch assembly 200 includes a light sensor 210 and a first elastic button group 220. The light sensor 210 is located on the front side of the first elastic button group 220, and the sensing end of the light sensor 210 faces the front side, which is used to monitor the light intensity in the car to automatically control the brightness of the display screen. The first elastic button group 220 controls the on and off of the display screen of the streaming media rearview mirror through the electronic control panel. The switch assembly 200 protrudes downward from the bottom of the body 100. During operation, the user can intuitively and quickly find the location of the first elastic button group 220 according to the location of the light sensor 210 to operate. Figure 1 and Figure 2Shown, function selection assembly 300 is set at the bottom of body 100, function selection assembly 300 is electrically connected with master control board, function selection assembly 300 comprises roller 310, fan blade type grating part 320, photoelectric sensor (not shown) and second elastic button group 330, roller 310, fan blade type grating part 320, photoelectric sensor promptly constitute grating induction type structure.Wherein, fan blade type grating part 320 and photoelectric sensor are positioned at body 100 inside, and the part wheel body of roller 310 is positioned at body 100 bottom outside.Roller 310 and fan blade type grating part 320 are interconnected and coaxially rotated.In position, fan blade type grating part 320 is positioned between roller 310 and photoelectric sensor.The induction point 311 on roller 310 is arranged on roller 310 towards the side of fan blade type grating part 320. When the roller 310 drives the fan-blade grating member 320 to rotate, the photoelectric sensor senses the sensing point 311 on the roller 310, transmits the sensing signal to the main control board, and uses the main control board to control the function of the streaming media rearview mirror. The second elastic button group 330 is located above the roller 310. The second elastic button group 330 can be connected to the roller 310 through elastic parts such as spring sheets. When the roller 310 scrolls to select the corresponding function, the roller 310 is pressed upward to push the second elastic button group 330, so that the second elastic button group 330 is used to feed back the signal to the main control board to determine the currently selected function. The scrolling selection operation greatly simplifies the function selection operation of the streaming media rearview mirror.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a third elastic button group 360 is provided at the bottom of the body 100 and on one side of the function selection component 300. The third elastic button group 360 is connected to the main control panel. After the function selection component 300 selects and determines the current function, the third elastic button group 360 is used to return or cancel the currently selected function.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket assembly 400 includes a bracket 410, a claw plate 420 and a clamp 430. The bracket 410 is rotatably mounted on the back of the machine body 100. Figure 3 As shown, one end of the bracket 410 is spherical and the end is rotatably connected to the body 100, and the claw plate 420 is fixed to the other end of the bracket 410, that is, the top position of the bracket 410. The clamp 430 is fixed to the front windshield inside the car, and the body 100 is rotatably connected to the clamp 430 through the claw plate 420, so that the body 100 can be quickly installed and unloaded to the front windshield inside the car.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the first elastic key group 220 includes a first pressing member 221, a connecting member 222, an elastic contact 223 and a first key body 224. Among them, the elastic contact 223 can be made of silicone material. The elastic contact 223 is in a stepped shaft section type, which is divided into three sections, the front and rear sections can be cylindrical, and the middle section is a truncated cone. The elastic contact 223 is installed in the connecting member 222, the first key body 224 is located in the body 100, and the connecting member 222 is installed in the shell of the body 100 and corresponds to the position of the first key body 224. The first pressing member 221 is movably plugged into the connecting member 222 and is located outside the body 100. At this time, the elastic contact 223 is located between the first pressing member 221 and the first key body 224, one end of the elastic contact 223 passes through the connecting member 222 and contacts the first key body 224, and the other end abuts against the first pressing member 221. The user applies pressure to the first pressing member 221 from the outside, and presses the first button body 224 through the elastic contact 223. During the pressing process, the elastic contact 223 is mainly elastically deformed through its truncated cone-shaped middle section, so that the first pressing member 221 can be automatically reset when the pressure is lost. The truncated cone-shaped middle section of the elastic contact 223 can be solid or hollow inside. Under pressure, the end surfaces on both sides are squeezed inward along the axial direction, and the peripheral curved surface expands outward. It has strong recovery after elastic deformation and high toughness.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting member 222 is provided with a through hole portion 201, and a step 202 is provided in the through hole portion 201, and the step 202 is close to the first button body 224, and the elastic contact body 223 is installed in the through hole portion 201. The large end face of the truncated cone-shaped middle shaft section of the elastic contact body 223 overlaps the step 202, that is, the large end face of the middle shaft section faces the first button body 224. When the first pressing member 221 is pressed, the middle shaft section of the elastic contact body 223 is mainly compressed along the axial direction at its small end face side to cause elastic deformation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connection structure between the connecting member 222 and the first pressing member 221 is that a slot 203 is respectively provided on both sides of the through hole portion 201, and a protruding stopper 204 is provided at the tail end of the slot 203, that is, the end of the slot 203 close to the first button body 224. The first pressing member 221 is provided with a plug-in portion 205 that cooperates with the slot 203, and a stopper groove 206 is provided at the tail end of the plug-in portion 205. When the first pressing member 221 is inserted into the slot 203 through the plug-in portion 205, the stopper block 204 is snapped into the stopper groove 206 on the plug-in portion 205, and the cooperation between the stopper block 204 and the stopper groove 206 limits the travel of the first pressing member 221 moving toward the first button body 224 and away from the first button body 224.

[0037] Preferably, the structure of the first elastic button group 220 is applicable to the structure of the third elastic button group 360 .

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the fan-blade grating member 320 is connected to the roller 310 via a rotating shaft 340, and the rotating shaft 340 is rotatably mounted in the body 100. Specifically, the fan-blade grating member 320 is provided with a plurality of fan blades, and each fan blade is arranged at equal intervals around the central axis of the rotating shaft 340. The sensing points 311 on the roller 310 face the fan blades, and the position of each sensing point 311 corresponds to the gap between two adjacent fan blades along the axial direction. The photoelectric sensor senses each sensing point 311 through the gap between the fan blades to collect signals.

[0039] Furthermore, the function selection component 300 also includes a spring sheet 350, on which a U-shaped raised section 351 is provided. The raised section 351 is elastically clamped in the gap between two adjacent sensing points 311, and the end surface of the sensing point 311 can be spherical. When the roller 310 rotates, the raised section 351 will slide from the gap between the current two sensing points 311 to the next gap, and the spring sheet 350 will prompt the user to feel the hand when rotating the roller 310, and at the same time produce a "ticking" sound.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the claw plate 420 is provided with a first claw 421 and a second claw 422, which are bent upward and extended from the periphery of the claw plate 420, and four first claws 421 are evenly spaced around the center of the claw plate 420, and a second claw 422 is arranged between two adjacent first claws 421. Among them, the upper part of the first claw 421 is S-shaped, and its top is facing the outer direction of the claw plate 420, and the upper part of the second claw 422 is also S-shaped, and the top of the second claw 422 and the top of the first claw 421 are not facing the same direction. The side wall of the clamp 430 is provided with a first slot 431 and a second slot 432. The number of the first slots 431 corresponds to the number and position of the first claws 421. The second slot 432 cooperates with the second claw 422. During assembly, the claw plate 420 is inserted from below the clamp 430, the first clamp 421 is clamped into the first slot 431, the second clamp 422 is extended into the second slot 432, and a hooking position that matches the top of the second clamp 422 can be provided in the second slot 432. Then the bracket 410 is rotated, that is, the claw plate 420 is rotated, the first clamp 421 slides along the first slot 431, and the second clamp 422 slides in the second slot 432. When the top of the second clamp 422 slides to the hooking position of the second slot 432 and snaps, the claw plate 420 and the clamp 430 are matched in place, thereby completing the rotational match. The match between the second clamp 422 and the second slot 432 also plays a positioning role. The user only needs to fix the clamp 430 on the front windshield, and the streaming media rearview mirror can be quickly assembled and unassembled through the claw plate 420 on the bracket 410. The clamp 430 can be reused and is very convenient to use.

[0041] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning holes 423 are provided on the body of the claw plate 420, and each positioning hole 423 corresponds to the position of each first claw 421. A boss protruding upward is provided on the top of the bracket 410, and the boss corresponds to the positioning hole 423. When installing, the bracket 410 connects the boss upward into each positioning hole 423 from the bottom of the claw plate 420, and then the bracket 410 and the claw plate 420 can be fixed by fasteners such as screws.

[0042] Among them, Figure 3As shown, the upper part of the bracket 410 is a hollow frame-like structure, and wire grooves 440 are provided on both sides of the upper part of the bracket 410, and the wire grooves 440 connect the inside and outside of the bracket 410. In actual use, the front camera assembly is installed at the rear side of the bracket 410, and the wire harness inside the streaming media rearview mirror body 100 is led out and introduced from the lower part of the bracket 410 to the inside of the upper part of the bracket 410. The wire harness passes through the wire groove 440 and extends to the outside of the bracket 410, and then the front camera assembly is fixed on the bracket 410, and the wire harness is pressed into the wire groove 440 by the front camera assembly itself, so as to fix the wire harness. Preferably, the wire groove 440 is inclined from the inner side wall of the upper part of the bracket 410 to the front edge, and the inner wall of the wire groove 440 is in an arc shape. The inclined setting of the wire groove 440 can match the direction of the wire harness to avoid scratching the wire harness.
