[0002] Rearview mirrors, as components that connect a car's interior and exterior environments, are essential components. Mounted on the vehicle's exterior sheet metal, they incorporate a sealing structure between the exterior and the mirror mount, effectively reducing the transmission of external noise into the vehicle interior while also providing excellent water and dust protection. However, during actual vehicle use and rearview mirror installation, inadequate sealing often results in a poor seal between the rearview mirror and the vehicle body. This not only hinders the mirror's ability to effectively prevent dust and water, but also makes it difficult to block noise from entering the vehicle interior. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a rearview mirror assembly, aiming to improve the sealing effect of the rearview mirror.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the rearview mirror assembly proposed by the present invention comprises:

[0005] The mirror base includes a housing and a mounting bracket, wherein the housing is provided with a mounting position having a mounting hole formed therein, and the mounting bracket includes a first mounting section and a second mounting section connected to each other, wherein the first mounting section and the second mounting section are arranged at an angle, the first mounting section passes through the mounting hole and is placed in the mirror base, and the second mounting section protrudes from the housing;

[0006] A wiring harness, wherein the second mounting section is provided with a wire-passing hole, and the wiring harness passes through the wire-passing hole and the mounting hole in sequence and extends into the housing;

[0007] An annular sealing gasket is installed on the installation position, and the outer periphery of the annular sealing gasket is pressed against the side wall of the installation position, and the inner periphery of the annular sealing gasket is pressed against the second installation section.

[0008] Optionally, the shell includes a first shell portion and a second shell portion spliced ​​together, the first shell portion and the second shell portion jointly form the mounting position and the mounting hole, and the annular sealing gasket blocks the splicing gap between the first shell portion and the second shell portion.

[0009] Optionally, a sealing protrusion is provided on a side of the second shell portion facing the second mounting section. The sealing protrusion is located at the edge of the mounting hole and abuts against the second mounting section to seal the wiring harness between the mounting hole and the wire hole.

[0010] Optionally, a sealing member is provided between the sealing protrusion and the second mounting section to seal a gap between the sealing protrusion and the second mounting section.

[0011] Optionally, a sealing sleeve is fixed in the wire hole, and the wiring harness is passed through the inner hole of the sealing sleeve.

[0012] Optionally, a first clamping portion is provided at one end of the sealing sleeve facing the housing, and a second clamping portion is provided at one end of the wire hole facing the housing, and the first clamping portion is clamped with the second clamping portion.

[0013] Optionally, a covering is provided on the wiring harness, the covering is passed through the sealing sleeve, and the covering is interference fit with the sealing sleeve to clamp and seal the wiring harness.

[0014] Optionally, the annular sealing gasket includes a hard part and two elastic parts connected to each other, and the two elastic parts are arranged at the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the hard part, the elastic part at the inner periphery is tightly pressed between the hard part and the side wall, and the elastic part at the outer periphery is tightly pressed between the hard part and the second mounting section.

[0015] Optionally, the annular sealing gasket, the first shell part, and the second shell part are all provided with connecting holes, and the mounting bracket is provided with a connecting hole. The fastener passes through the connecting holes on the annular sealing gasket, the first shell part, and the second shell part in sequence and is fastened to the connecting holes.

[0016] The present invention further provides an automobile, comprising a vehicle body and the rearview mirror assembly as described above, wherein the rearview mirror assembly comprises the mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is mounted on the vehicle body.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention comprises a mounting position provided on the housing, the mounting position having a mounting hole formed therein. The first mounting section of the mounting bracket passes through the mounting hole and is positioned within the mirror base, while the second mounting section protrudes from the housing. This mounting bracket structure is not entirely within the housing, but partially extends from the housing, and the first and second mounting sections are arranged at an angle. Compared to conventional mounting brackets that are completely hidden within the mirror base, the rearview mirror mounting position is fixed (flush with the mirror base), making adjustment difficult. This solution, however, provides the mounting bracket with a bend during installation, allowing its mounting position to be adjusted from flush with the mirror base. The mounting position can be adjusted based on the length of the second mounting section and / or the angle formed by the first and second mounting sections. This allows for interference between the mounting position of the rearview mirror assembly and other vehicle structures. The second mounting section has a wire hole formed therein for the passage of a wiring harness, which passes through the wire hole and the mounting hole in sequence and extends into the housing. This allows for connection of the rearview mirror assembly to internal components of the vehicle. The annular sealing gasket is installed on the mounting position, with its outer periphery pressed against the side wall of the mounting position and its inner periphery pressed against the second mounting section. This allows the annular sealing member to seal the gap between the housing and the second mounting section, thereby reducing the possibility of moisture infiltrating into the housing through the gap between the housing and the second mounting section and ensuring the sealing of the mirror mount.

[0031] The present invention provides a rearview mirror assembly 100 .

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the rearview mirror assembly 100 includes a mirror base 110, a wiring harness 140, and an annular sealing gasket 150. The mirror base 110 includes a housing 120 and a mounting bracket 130. The housing 120 is provided with a mounting position 121 having a mounting hole. The mounting bracket 130 includes a first mounting section 131 and a second mounting section 132, which are connected to each other and arranged at an angle. The first mounting section 131 passes through the mounting hole and is positioned within the mirror base 110, while the second mounting section 132 protrudes from the housing 120. The second mounting section 132 has a wiring hole, through which the wiring harness 140 passes, in sequence, and extends into the housing 120. The annular sealing gasket 150 is mounted on the mounting position 121, with the outer periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 pressing against the sidewall 121a of the mounting position 121 and the inner periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 pressing against the second mounting section 132.

[0033] Mounting bracket 130 is used to connect mirror base 110 to the vehicle body. Mounting bracket 130 includes a first mounting section 131 and a second mounting section 132, which are connected to each other and arranged at an angle. First mounting section 131 passes through the mounting hole and is placed within mirror base 110, thereby achieving a fixed installation between mounting bracket 130 and mirror base 110. First mounting section 131 also restricts the position of the internal structure of housing 120, reducing the possibility of shaking and noise generated by the components within housing 120. Second mounting section 132 protrudes from housing 120 and is fixedly mounted to the vehicle body, thereby securing rearview mirror assembly 100. This structure using mounting bracket 130 is different from traditional rearview mirror base structures and is suitable for situations where the installation position of rearview mirror assembly 100 interferes with other vehicle structures. If the rearview mirror assembly 100 is installed near a watershed, direct installation at the watershed will interfere with the vehicle's watershed. Therefore, the second mounting section 132 needs to be installed above or below the watershed. The first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132 are arranged at an angle, so the installation position of the second mounting section 132 does not affect the position of the mirror base 110. However, this special-shaped mounting bracket 130 is difficult to seal, resulting in poor sealing. This not only makes the rearview mirror assembly 100 difficult to effectively protect against dust and water, but also makes it difficult to prevent noise from entering the vehicle interior. Therefore, the sealing of the mounting bracket needs to be redesigned to ensure a better sealing effect. Typically, a control assembly is installed inside the vehicle, and the rearview mirror is equipped with an adjustment mechanism. The control assembly and the adjustment mechanism are connected via a wiring harness 140, allowing the driver to control the movement of the rearview mirror through the control assembly. The wiring harness 140 is installed through the mounting bracket 130, so a wire hole needs to be provided in the second mounting section 132. The wiring harness 140 passes through the wire hole and the mounting hole in sequence and extends into the housing 120. This connects the rearview mirror assembly 100 to the internal components. The annular seal 150 is installed on the mounting position 121, with its outer periphery pressed against the sidewall 121a of the mounting position 121, and its inner periphery pressed against the second mounting section 132. This allows the annular seal 111 to seal the gap between the housing 120 and the second mounting section 132, thereby reducing the possibility of moisture infiltrating into the housing 120 through the gap between the housing 120 and the second mounting section 132 and ensuring the seal of the mirror base 110.

[0034] In one embodiment, an interference fit is employed between the outer periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 and the sidewall 121a of the mounting position 121, and between the inner periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 and the periphery of the second mounting section 132. This ensures that the outer periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 can be pressed tightly against the sidewall 121a of the mounting position 121, and the inner periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 can be pressed tightly against the second mounting section 132. This allows the annular sealing member 111 to seal the gap between the housing 120 and the second mounting section 132, thereby ensuring the sealing of the mirror base 110.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132 are integrally formed. This not only reduces the number of steps required to install the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132, but also enhances the fixing strength between the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132, reducing the possibility of separation between the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132. Furthermore, the installation gap between the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132 is reduced, thereby improving the sealing effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132 may also be fixed by bonding or clamping.

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention provides a mounting position 121 on the housing 120, with a mounting hole formed in the mounting position 121. The first mounting section 131 of the mounting bracket 130 passes through the mounting hole and is positioned within the mirror base 110, while the second mounting section 132 protrudes from the housing 120. This mounting bracket 130 is not entirely positioned within the housing 120, but partially extends from the housing 120. The first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132 are arranged at an angle. Compared to conventional mounting brackets 130 that are completely hidden within the mirror base, the mounting position of the rearview mirror assembly 100 is fixed (flush with the mirror base 110) and difficult to adjust. In contrast, the present solution provides the mounting bracket 130 with a bend during installation, allowing its mounting position to be adjusted from flush with the mirror base 110. The position can be adjusted based on the length of the second mounting section 132 and / or the opening direction or angle of the angle formed between the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132. This allows for interference between the mounting position 121 of the rearview mirror assembly 100 and other vehicle structures. The second mounting section 132 is provided with a wire hole for the passage of the wiring harness 140. The wiring harness 140 passes through the wire hole and the mounting hole in sequence and extends into the housing 120, thereby connecting the rearview mirror assembly 100 to the interior components of the vehicle. An annular sealing gasket 150 is installed on the mounting position 121, with its outer periphery pressed against the sidewall 121a of the mounting position 121 and its inner periphery pressed against the periphery of the second mounting section 132. This allows the annular seal 111 to seal the gap between the housing 120 and the second mounting section 132, thereby reducing the possibility of moisture infiltrating into the housing 120 through the gap between the housing 120 and the second mounting section 132 and ensuring the sealing of the mirror base 110.

[0037] In one embodiment, the housing 120 includes a first shell portion 122 and a second shell portion 123 that are joined together. The first shell portion 122 and the second shell portion 123 together form a mounting position 121 and a mounting hole. An annular sealing gasket 150 seals the gap between the first and second shell portions 122, 123. Specifically, the first and second shell portions 122, 123 are joined together to form the mounting position 121 and the mounting hole, thereby facilitating the installation of components within the mirror base 110 and the mounting bracket 130. The joint between the first and second shell portions 122, 123 also creates a gap. Because the outer periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 presses against the sidewall 121a of the mounting position 121, and the inner periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 presses against the second mounting section 132, all gaps in the mounting position 121 are effectively sealed, thereby sealing the gap between the first and second shell portions 122, 123.

[0038] Furthermore, a sealing protrusion 124 is provided on the side of the second shell portion 123 facing the second mounting section 132. The sealing protrusion 124 is located at the edge of the mounting hole and abuts the second mounting section 132 to seal the wiring harness 140 between the mounting hole and the wire-passing hole. Specifically, the wiring harness 140 sequentially passes through the wire-passing hole and the mounting hole and extends into the shell 120. Because the first mounting section 131 and the second mounting section 132 are arranged at an angle, and the angle is generally greater than or equal to 90 degrees, a portion of the wiring harness 140 between the wire-passing hole and the mounting hole is exposed between the mounting bracket 130 and the mirror base 110. Therefore, the sealing protrusion 124 is provided on the side of the second shell portion 123 facing the second mounting section 132. The sealing protrusion 124 abuts the second mounting section 132, thereby sealing the wiring harness 140 between the mounting hole and the wire-passing hole to prevent the wiring harness 140 from being exposed. In order to improve the contact strength between the sealing protrusion 124 and the second mounting section 132 , the sealing protrusion 124 is located at the edge of the mounting hole, thereby reducing the installation space of the wiring harness 140 as much as possible and ensuring that the wiring harness 140 is fixed.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sealing protrusion 124 is integrally formed with the second shell portion 123. This reduces the number of steps required to install the sealing protrusion 124 and the second shell portion 123, reduces the likelihood of separation between the first installation section 131 and the second installation section 132, and reduces the installation gap between the sealing protrusion 124 and the second shell portion 123, thereby improving the sealing effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing protrusion 124 and the second shell portion 123 may also be fixed by bonding or clamping.

[0040] In order to further ensure the sealing of the wiring harness 140 between the mounting hole and the wire-passing hole, in one embodiment, a sealing member 111 is provided between the sealing protrusion 124 and the second mounting section 132 to block the gap between the sealing protrusion 124 and the second mounting section 132. Specifically, the sealing member 111 blocks the gap between the sealing protrusion 124 and the second mounting section 132, thereby further improving the sealing effect. In this embodiment, the sealing member 111 is made of sealing foam, which has low cost, good effect, and can be arbitrarily changed in shape to adapt to the size and shape of the gap between the sealing protrusion 124 and the second mounting section 132. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing member 111 can also be a flexible material such as rubber.

[0041] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, a sealing sleeve 112 is fixed within the wire hole, and the wiring harness 140 is inserted through the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 112. Specifically, the sealing sleeve 112 is positioned within the wire hole, and the outer shape of the sealing sleeve 112 matches the shape of the wire hole, thereby reducing the possibility of the sealing sleeve 112 shaking within the wire hole. The wiring harness 140 is inserted through the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 112, and the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 112 clamps the wiring harness 140, thereby sealing and securing the wiring harness 140 and ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing sleeve 112.

[0042] To secure the sealing sleeve 112, in one embodiment, a first engaging portion 113 is provided on the end of the sealing sleeve 112 facing the housing 120, and a second engaging portion 133 is provided on the end of the wire passage hole facing the housing 120. The first engaging portion 113 and the second engaging portion 133 engage with each other. Specifically, the first engaging portion 113 and the second engaging portion 133 engage with each other, thereby securing the sealing sleeve 112. During installation, the wiring harness 140 is first passed through the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 112. The sealing sleeve 112 is then installed in the wire passage hole, and the first engaging portion 113 and the second engaging portion 133 engage with each other. The first engaging portion 113 can be a slot, and the second engaging portion 133 can be a protruding portion that engages with the slot; alternatively, the first engaging portion 113 can be a protruding portion, and the second engaging portion 133 can be a slot. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing sleeve 112 can also be secured to the wire passage hole by adhesive bonding.

[0043] Furthermore, a covering 141 is provided on the wiring harness 140. The covering 141 is inserted into the sealing sleeve 112, and the covering 141 and the sealing sleeve 112 have an interference fit to clamp and seal the wiring harness 140. Specifically, in order to further seal and fix the wiring harness 140, the covering 141 is provided on the wiring harness 140. The covering 141 is wrapped around the periphery of the wiring harness 140. The wiring harness 140 and its covering 141 are jointly inserted into the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 112, and the inner hole of the sealing sleeve 112 has an interference fit with the covering 141, thereby clamping the wiring harness 140 and achieving a better sealing and fixing effect. In this embodiment, the covering 141 is a sealing foam. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing member 111 can also be a flexible material such as sealing rubber or sealing plastic.

[0044] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 6 To ensure that the annular sealing gasket 150 successfully seals the gap between the housing 120 and the second mounting section 132, as well as the gap between the first shell portion 122 and the second shell portion 123, in one embodiment, the annular sealing gasket 150 includes a hard portion 151 and two elastic portions 152 connected to each other. The two elastic portions 152 are respectively provided at the inner and outer peripheries of the hard portion 151. The elastic portion 152 at the inner periphery is tightly abutted between the hard portion 151 and the side wall 121a, while the elastic portion 152 at the outer periphery is tightly abutted between the hard portion 151 and the second mounting section 132. Specifically, the hard portion 151 primarily serves as a support. The width of the elastic portion 152 is greater than or equal to the distance between the inner periphery of the hard portion 151 and the second mounting section 132, and the distance between the outer periphery of the hard portion 151 and the side wall 121a of the mounting position 121, thereby clamping the elastic portion 152. An interference fit is achieved between the outer periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 and the side wall 121 a of the installation position 121 , and an interference fit is achieved between the inner periphery of the annular sealing gasket 150 and the periphery of the second installation section 132 .

[0045] The hard portion 151 and the elastic portion 152 are integrally injection molded to ensure the connection strength between the hard portion 151 and the elastic portion 152. The hard portion 151 is generally made of a hard plastic material, and the elastic portion 152 is generally made of a flexible material such as rubber.

[0046] To ensure the installation of the first shell 122 , the second shell 123 , the mounting bracket 130 and the annular sealing gasket 150 , in one embodiment, the first shell 122 , the second shell 123 , the mounting bracket 130 and the annular sealing gasket 150 are fastened together by fasteners 160 .

[0047] Furthermore, the annular gasket 150, the first shell 122, and the second shell 123 are all provided with connecting holes, and the mounting bracket 130 is provided with connecting holes. The fastener 160 sequentially passes through the connecting holes on the annular gasket 150, the first shell 122, and the second shell 123 and is fastened to the connecting holes. Specifically, to ensure that the axis centers of the connecting holes on the annular gasket 150, the first shell 122, and the second shell 123 are located on the same straight line, the first shell 122 extends a mounting protrusion toward the second shell 123, and the connecting hole is provided in the mounting protrusion; alternatively, a mounting protrusion may be extended from the second shell 123 toward the first shell 122. This ensures that the fastener 160 sequentially passes through the connecting holes on the annular gasket 150, the first shell 122, and the second shell 123, thereby pressing the annular gasket 150 against the mounting position 121 and fixing the annular gasket 150.

[0048] The fastener 160 may be a fastening screw. The first shell portion 122 and the second shell portion 123 located outside the installation position have an abutment portion, so that the first shell portion 122 and the second shell portion 123 abut each other. Specifically, the edge of the second shell portion 123 connected to the first shell portion 122 is provided with a first support surface and a support edge. The first support surface is arranged around the periphery of the second shell portion 123 facing the first shell portion, and the support edge is arranged around the inner periphery of the first support surface. The edge of the first shell portion 122 abuts the first support surface and is located on the outside of the support edge. A second support surface is provided on the outer periphery of the support edge. The edge of the first shell portion 122 facing the inside of the shell abuts the second support surface, and the support edge is located on the inside of the first shell portion 122. This effectively reduces the possibility of moisture entering the first shell portion 122 and the second shell portion 123.
