Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a multi-mode folding control system for a commercial vehicle rearview mirror includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12 fastened together. A mirror rod seat 13 is rotatably mounted on the top of the upper cover 11, and a rearview mirror rod is fixedly mounted on the mirror rod seat 13. A rotation guide limiting device is installed between the mirror rod seat 13 and the upper cover 11. A folding drive unit is installed in the drive cavity formed by the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. The output end of the folding drive unit extends from the top of the upper cover 11 and is fixedly connected to the mirror rod seat 13. The folding drive unit includes components rotatably mounted on the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. A main shaft 21 is located between the lower cover 12. The top end of the main shaft 21 extends from the top end of the upper cover 11 and is fixedly connected to the mirror rod seat 13. A spring 23 located in the drive cavity is fitted on the main shaft 21. A drive bracket 53 is fixedly installed on the main shaft 21. The drive bracket 53 is a circular bracket. A drive device is installed in the drive cavity. A speed reduction transmission device is installed between the power output end of the drive device and the drive bracket 53. The drive bracket 53 and the speed reduction transmission device are engaged and driven. The spring 23 presses the speed reduction transmission device tightly onto the drive bracket 53.
[0027] The rotary guide limiting device includes multiple large ball bearings 31 rotatably mounted on the top surface of the upper cover 11. These large ball bearings 31 are circumferentially distributed around the main shaft 21. The end face of the mirror rod seat 13 facing the upper cover 11 has an annular groove (not shown) that mates with the large ball bearings 31. A fan-shaped limiting groove 32 is also provided on the top surface of the upper cover 11, and a limiting block 33 extending into the fan-shaped limiting groove 32 is provided on the mirror rod seat 13. A main shaft sleeve 22 is snapped into the lower cover 12, and the bottom end of the main shaft 21 is rotatably mounted within the main shaft sleeve 22, restricting the radial movement of the main shaft 21. A large washer 24 is fitted onto the main shaft 21 between the spring 23 and the upper cover 11. The top end of the spring 23 presses the large washer 24 against the upper cover 11, and the bottom end of the spring 23 presses against the reduction transmission device. The upper part of the large washer 24 contacts the upper cover 11, and the lower part contacts the spring 23, which can prevent the spring 23 from wearing the upper cover 11.
[0028] The driving device includes a motor base 41 fixedly installed between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. A drive motor 42 is fixedly installed on the motor base 41 and is bolted to the motor base 41. The power output end of the drive motor 42 is connected to the reduction transmission device. The reduction transmission device includes a vertically arranged primary worm 43 and a secondary worm 51. The primary worm 43 is connected to the power output shaft of the drive motor 42. A primary worm wheel 44 that meshes with the primary worm 43 is fixedly installed on the secondary worm 51. A secondary worm wheel 52 that engages with the drive jack 53 is fitted on the main shaft 21. The secondary worm 51 and the secondary worm wheel 52 mesh with each other. The secondary worm wheel 52 is installed between the spring 23 and the drive jack 53.
[0029] The secondary worm gear 52 has a center slot for mounting a card holder. The drive card holder 53 is fixedly mounted on the main shaft 21 and extends into the slot for mounting a card holder. A snap-fit device is provided between the bottom of the slot for mounting a card holder and the top of the drive card holder 53. The snap-fit device includes a plurality of snap-fit grooves 54 circumferentially distributed at the bottom of the slot for mounting a card holder. The top of the drive card holder 53 is provided with snap-fit protrusions 55 that match the snap-fit grooves 54.
[0030] The primary worm gear 43 is installed between the motor base 41 and the lower cover 12. A worm washer 45 is installed at each end of the primary worm gear 43. The upper worm washer 45 abuts against the motor base 41, and the lower worm washer 45 abuts against the lower cover 12. When the primary worm gear 43 moves, it reduces friction between parts, ensuring smooth operation of the reduction mechanism. It also prevents direct contact and wear between the primary worm gear 43, motor base 41, and lower cover 12, thus improving component lifespan. At least one worm sleeve 56 is fitted onto the secondary worm gear 51, and the worm sleeve 56 is snapped onto the motor base 41. Two worm sleeves 56 are installed on the secondary worm gear 51, respectively fitted onto both sides of the threaded section of the secondary worm gear 51. Both ends of the secondary worm gear 51 are connected to the upper cover 11 via small ball bearings 57. The small ball bearings 57 reduce friction between the contact surfaces of the secondary worm gear 51 and the upper cover 11, extending service life.
[0031] The bottom end of the main shaft 21 is provided with a D-shaped shaft section. The cross section of the D-shaped shaft section is D-shaped and has a plane. The center of the drive jack 53 is provided with a D-shaped hole that mates with the D-shaped shaft section of the main shaft 21. With the cooperation of the D-shaped hole and the D-shaped shaft section, the main shaft 21 can rotate synchronously with the drive jack 53. A retaining ring 58 located below the drive jack 53 is fixedly installed on the main shaft 21. The retaining ring 58 provides an axial lower limit for the drive jack 53.
[0032] The vehicle body is equipped with a body mounting bracket, on which the rearview mirror system is installed. The body mounting bracket is compatible with different vehicle models and has mounting holes for both the vehicle body and the rearview mirror system. The body mounting bracket can be screwed to the vehicle body for secure installation. The rearview mirror rod is a round tubular profile, compatible with different vehicle models. The rearview mirror rod and mirror rod seat 13 are fixed together by welding or screwing. The main body of the rearview mirror system is cylindrical and contains a reduction mechanism and control circuitry. It can be screwed to the aforementioned body mounting bracket and thus fixed to the vehicle body as a whole.
[0033] The mirror rod holder 13 has a through hole and a circular groove. The main shaft 21 can pass through the through hole and connect to the mirror rod holder 13. The rearview mirror rod can be welded into the circular groove. The lower part of the main shaft 21 is stepped and has a groove for installing the main shaft sleeve 22 and the retaining ring 58. The main shaft sleeve 22 is installed at the stepped end of the main shaft 21, with the inner ring fitted onto the main shaft 21 and the outer ring secured inside the groove of the lower cover 12.
[0034] The upper cover 11 has multiple circular grooves and through holes on its upper disc. A fan-shaped limiting area is provided at the mating point with the mirror rod seat 13. The upper cover 11 has a boss inside, and the main shaft 21 can pass through the aforementioned through holes to mate with the upper cover 11. The large ball bearings 31 are installed in the aforementioned circular grooves of the upper cover 11. The three large ball bearings 31 are arranged in a circle, with an included angle of 120° between each pair of large ball bearings 31. The mirror rod seat 13 has a corresponding annular groove below it that matches the large ball bearings 31, forming a rotating structure. The large ball bearings 31 are made of steel balls, which reduces friction and rotational torque during rotation. The lower cover 12 has a protruding structure inside to support the motor seat 41, the reduction mechanism, and the upper cover 11. The lower cover 12 is bolted to the upper cover 11 to form a closed housing.
[0035] The large washer 24 and the spring 23 are sequentially mounted on the main shaft 21. The surface of the large washer 24 is in contact with the inner surface of the upper cover 11, and the spring 23 is placed on the other surface of the large washer 24. The diameter of the large washer 24 is larger than the diameter of the spring 23.
[0036] The motor base 41 is provided with a positioning post, a worm gear holder, and a PCB holder. The motor base 41 is placed inside the cavity formed by the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, and is connected to the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. The upper part of the motor base 41 is mounted on the upper cover 11 and positioned by the positioning post, and the lower part is mounted on the lower cover 12. The three of them constitute the main support structure of the control unit.
[0037] The secondary worm gear 52 has a circular groove on its surface as a mounting slot for the ferrule. At the bottom of the circular groove are three trapezoidal grooves as engaging grooves 54. These trapezoidal grooves are circumferentially distributed around the main shaft 21, with an included angle of 120° between each pair of grooves. The secondary worm gear 52 has a circular through hole in its center and is fitted onto the main shaft 21 with a clearance fit. The drive ferrule 53 is circular with a D-shaped through hole at its center. The drive ferrule 53 has three trapezoidal protrusions on its surface as engaging protrusions 55. These protrusions engage with the aforementioned trapezoidal grooves, and are circumferentially distributed with an included angle of 120° between each pair. The secondary worm gear 52 and the drive jack 53 are matched by the trapezoidal groove and the trapezoidal protrusion, and can be engaged together. After matching, they are installed as a whole on the main shaft 21. The secondary worm gear 52 is in contact with the spring 23. Under the action of the spring 23, the two can realize the force transmission between the secondary worm gear 52 and the drive jack 53. The spring 23 is always kept in a compressed state, so that the secondary worm gear 52 and the drive jack 53 maintain a tight fit when the drive motor 42 starts. The retaining ring 58 is placed in the groove of the main shaft 21. The retaining ring 58 is in contact with the drive jack 53 to prevent the drive jack 53 from moving radially. The secondary worm gear 52 meshes with the secondary worm 51. The diameter of the secondary worm gear 52 is larger than that of the secondary worm 51. The worm gear mechanism of the secondary worm gear 52 completes the deceleration and amplifies the torque. The worm sleeve 56 is installed on the secondary worm 51. The worm sleeve 56 is placed in the U-shaped groove of the worm gear holder of the motor base 41 to ensure the radial stability of the secondary worm 51 and reduce friction. The two ends of the secondary worm 51 abut against the small balls 57, which are placed in the groove of the upper cover 11. The small balls 57 are made of steel balls. The small balls 57 can restrict the axial movement of the secondary worm 51, ensuring the axial stability of the secondary worm 51 and reducing friction.
[0038] The primary worm gear 44 is mounted on the secondary worm 51. When the motor starts, the primary worm gear 44 drives the secondary worm 51 to rotate at the same angular velocity. The primary worm gear 44 meshes with the primary worm 43. The diameter of the primary worm gear 44 is larger than that of the primary worm 43. The worm gear mechanism of the primary worm gear 44 reduces speed and amplifies torque. The primary worm 43 is stepped, with a worm washer 45 installed at the step. The worm washer 45 contacts the motor base 41 and the lower cover 12. The primary worm 43 is connected to the motor connecting shaft 46 of the drive motor 42. The power output end of the drive motor 42 is connected to the motor connecting shaft 46. The power output end of the drive motor 42 has axial threads. The drive motor 42 is bolted to the motor base 41. When the drive motor 42 starts, it drives the motor connecting shaft 46 and the primary worm 43 to rotate at the same angular velocity.
[0039] Since the main shaft 21 passes through the upper cover 11 and is fitted with a main shaft sleeve 22 at the bottom, the concentricity of the main shaft 21 during rotation can be ensured. At the same time, the internal spring 23 can effectively reduce the vibration of the rearview mirror during vehicle operation.
[0040] The drive motor 42 is connected to a control circuit. The PCB circuit board of the control circuit is rectangular and has various electronic components. The PCB circuit board is snapped onto the PCB slot of the motor base 41 to ensure that the PCB circuit board does not affect the operation of other components during use.
[0041] The mirror rod holder 13 is welded to the main shaft 21. The fan-shaped limiting groove 32 on the upper cover 11 and the limiting block 33 on the mirror rod holder 13 cooperate to limit the rotation angle of the rearview mirror. When it rotates to the limit position, the control circuit can realize overload protection. The control circuit can control the drive motor 42 to achieve forward and reverse rotation through electronic components. When the mirror rod holder 13 rotates to the limit position, the current in the circuit increases. When the current exceeds the set threshold, the control circuit can detect the response signal and immediately disconnect the power supply of the drive motor 42, so that the main shaft 21 stops rotating, realizing overload protection.
[0042] When the drive motor 42 starts, because the spring 23 is always in a compressed state, the secondary worm gear 52 is engaged with the drive cassette 53. The secondary worm gear 52 can drive the drive cassette 53 and the main shaft 21 to rotate at the same angular velocity. When the mirror rod needs to be rotated manually, the drive cassette 53 will disengage from the secondary worm gear 52 due to the force, causing the secondary worm gear 52 to move axially and further compress the spring 23, causing the drive cassette 53 to disengage from the worm gear reduction mechanism, and simultaneously releasing the self-locking of the worm gear structure. At this time, the main shaft 21 only drives the drive cassette 53 to rotate at the same angular velocity to achieve the manual folding function.
[0043] This rearview mirror system has the following functions:
[0044] 1. After the drive motor 42 starts, the drive motor 42 drives the main shaft 21 and the mirror rod seat 13 to rotate after being reduced in speed by a two-stage worm gear mechanism. After the two-stage reduction, the rotation speed of the mirror rod is moderate, which makes it easy to adjust the rearview mirror angle.
[0045] 2. When the mirror rod seat 13 moves within the fan-shaped limiting area of the upper cover 11, it can limit the rotation angle of the rearview mirror and avoid collision with the vehicle body.
[0046] 3. The drive motor 42 is connected to the control circuit, which can realize the forward and reverse rotation of the rearview mirror and the overload protection function.
[0047] 4. A spring 23 is provided on the main shaft 21, which can effectively reduce the vibration of the rearview mirror during vehicle operation.
[0048] 5. A spring 23 and a drive bracket 53 are installed on the main shaft 21, enabling electric folding. Compressing the spring 23 releases the self-locking characteristic of the worm gear, enabling manual folding.
[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
