[0002] With the increasing demands for entertainment and intelligence in modern automobiles, and the growing popularity of mobile devices, the functions and forms of in-vehicle multimedia are becoming increasingly diverse. Multifunctional, large-size in-vehicle display terminals that can connect to mobile phones, computers, or the internet have become the mainstream trend for future development. Furthermore, with the advancement of electronic imaging technology, it has even become possible to eliminate the need for exterior rearview mirrors and display rearview images on a screen inside the vehicle. However, the adjustment range of related in-vehicle display terminals is limited, failing to effectively meet the needs of drivers.

[0003] The related technology also discloses an electronic rearview mirror that can rotate the display screen assembly used to display driving information to adjust the angle of the display screen assembly so that the lower position of the display screen assembly can meet the driver's height and driving habits. However, the electronic rearview mirror can only be finely adjusted manually, and the adjustment range is small. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] The driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the display component 10 may be a display screen or the like for displaying information. The information displayed by the display component may be information displayed on the Internet, information displayed on a vehicle computer, or images captured by a camera on the vehicle body. That is, the display component 10 may be a display terminal or an electronic rearview mirror, etc.

[0044] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed base 200, a driving assembly and a rotating component 400.

[0045] The mounting base 200 is fixed to the vehicle body, the drive assembly is fixed to the mounting base 200, and the rotating member 400 is rotatably and movably disposed on the mounting base 200. The drive assembly cooperates with the rotating member 400 to at least drive the rotating member 400 to rotate relative to the mounting base 200. The rotating member 400 is provided with a fixed part 410, and the display member 10 is fixed to the fixed part 410. When the drive assembly drives the rotating member 400 to rotate, the display member 10 can rotate together with the rotating member 400 to adjust the position of the display member 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the driving component can drive the rotating member 400 to rotate, so that the rotating member 400 can rotate the display component 10 to adjust the angle between the display component 10 and the fixed base 200 to meet different user needs. It should be noted that when the driving component only drives the rotating member 400 to rotate, the rotating member 400 can cooperate with components such as the fixed base 200 to achieve the function of movement, as long as the rotating member 400 can move relative to the fixed base 200.

[0047] In other embodiments, the drive assembly can drive the rotating member 400 to rotate and move simultaneously, or drive the rotating member 400 to move first and then drive the rotating member 400 to rotate, or drive the rotating member 400 to rotate first and then drive the rotating member 400 to move.

[0048] When the rotating component 400 moves relative to the fixed base, the display component 10 can be moved to a position away from or closer to the fixed base 200 to adjust the position of the display component 10. When the rotating component 400 rotates relative to the fixed base, the angle between the display component 10 and the fixed base 200 can be adjusted to meet different user needs.

[0049] Specifically, when a user needs to use the display component 10, they can operate the drive assembly to drive the rotating component 400 to rotate and / or move, thereby adjusting the position of the display component 10 to meet different user needs.

[0050] In some embodiments, the user can adjust the position of the display component 10 according to their own situation. For example, according to their own height, the user can operate the drive component to drive the rotating component 400 to rotate, so that the rotating component 400 can rotate a certain angle and / or move a certain distance, thereby allowing the display component 10 to rotate a certain angle and / or move a certain distance with the rotating component 400, so that the position of the display component 10 can meet the user's needs and facilitate the user's use of the display component 10.

[0051] Therefore, the drive mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can drive the display component to move or rotate by a motor, thereby increasing the adjustable range of the display component's position and improving the user experience.

[0052] The driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the driving mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed base 200, a driving assembly and a rotating component 400.

[0054] In some embodiments, the display component 10 may be a vehicle rearview mirror, and the drive assembly may drive the rearview mirror to be retracted into or extend beyond the vehicle body, so as to improve the vehicle's appearance and reduce the vehicle's drag coefficient when the rearview mirror is retracted, or to change the position of the rearview mirror inside the vehicle. In other embodiments, the display component 10 may also be a vehicle-mounted display screen or other device, allowing the user to adjust the position of the display component 10 according to their needs via the drive assembly, making it more convenient for the user to use the display component 10.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a driving motor 340, a first mating member 310, and a second mating member 320. The driving motor 340 cooperates with the first mating member 310 to drive the first mating member 310 to rotate. The second mating member 320 is rotatably engaged with the first mating member 310 to rotate at least relative to the first mating member 310. The second mating member 320 cooperates with a rotating member 400 to drive the rotating member 400 to rotate, thereby driving the display member 10 to rotate at least, thereby changing the position or angle of the display member 10 relative to the fixed base 200. Further, when the driving assembly drives the rotating member 400 to move, the second mating member 320 is rotatably engaged with the first mating member 310 to move relative to the first mating member 310.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first mating member 310 and the second mating member 320 are threadedly engaged. The first mating member 310 is formed as a lead screw with external threads, and the second mating member 320 has internal threads. The drive motor 340 can directly drive the first mating member 310 to rotate. The second mating member 320 has two movement states: one is that when the drive motor 340 drives the first mating member 310 to rotate, the second mating member 320 can rotate together with the first mating member 310, thereby driving the rotating member 400 to rotate, and thus driving the display component 10 to rotate. The other is that when the first mating member 310 rotates, the second mating member 320 can move along the length direction of the first mating member 310, thereby driving the rotating member 400 to move, and thus driving the display component 10 to move. It should be noted that the switching between the above two states can be achieved by restricting the rotation of the second mating member 320 relative to the first mating member 310. The restricting method can be set according to the actual situation.

[0057] The first mating component 310 and the second mating component 320 adopt a lead screw drive and have a reverse self-locking function, which makes it easy to ensure that the display component 10 can move or rotate smoothly under the drive of the drive component, and avoids the second mating component 320 from rotating or moving after being affected by force, thus avoiding affecting the position of the display component 10.

[0058] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the driving component further includes a third mating member 330, which is fixed to the rotating member 400. The third mating member 330 engages with the second mating member 320 so that when the second mating member 320 rotates, it can drive the third mating member 330 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating member 400 to rotate. Thus, by setting the third mating member 330, the position of the driving motor 340 can be reasonably arranged.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second mating member 320 is a gear, and the inner wall of the second mating member 320 has an internal thread. At least a portion of the first mating member 310 passes through the second mating member 320 and engages with the internal thread on the second mating member 320. The third mating member 330 is a gear, and it meshes with the second mating member 320 for transmission. When the first mating member 310 rotates and drives the second mating member 320 to rotate, the second mating member 320 can drive the third mating member 330 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating member 400 and the display member 10 to rotate, so as to adjust the position of the display member 10.

[0060] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the driving component further includes a housing 500, and the second mating component 320 and the third mating component 330 are both disposed inside the housing 500. On the one hand, the housing 500 can provide a relatively enclosed working environment for the second mating component 320 and the third mating component 330, preventing objects in the external environment from scratching the second mating component 320 and the third mating component 330 and affecting their operation. On the other hand, the housing 500 integrates the second mating component 320 and the third mating component 330 into a whole, so that when the second mating component 320 moves, it can drive the housing 500 to move, thereby driving the third mating component 330 to move together, so as to drive the rotating component 400 and the display component 10 to move.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the box body 500 includes a lid 501 and a body 502. The lid 501 and the body 502 are detachably fitted to install the second fitting member 320 and the third fitting member 330 inside the box body 500. The lid 501 fits with the second fitting member 520 and the third fitting member 530 so that when the second fitting member 520 moves, it can drive the box body 500 to move, thereby driving the third fitting member 530 to move.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, both the first mating component 310 and the rotating component 400 extend horizontally. The right end of the first mating component 310 passes through the second mating component 320 and is threadedly engaged with it. The right end of the rotating component 400 passes through the third mating component 330 and is fixedly engaged with it. The second and third mating components 320 and 330 are arranged in a front-to-back direction, and the line connecting their rotation centers is on a straight line extending in the front-to-back direction. The second and third mating components 320 and 330 are in a meshing engagement.

[0063] The box body 500 has a first clearance hole 510 and a second clearance hole 520. The first clearance hole 510 is used to avoid the first mating part 310, and the second clearance hole 520 is used to avoid the rotating part 400. That is, the second mating part 320 and the third mating part 330 are arranged inside the box body 500. The right end of the first mating part 310 passes through the first clearance hole 510 and mates with the second mating part 320. The right end of the rotating part 400 passes through the second clearance hole 520 and mates with the third mating part 330.

[0064] When the first mating member 310 drives the second mating member 320 to rotate, the second mating member 320 can drive the third mating member 330 to rotate because the second mating member 320 and the third mating member 330 are engaged. Since the third mating member 330 is fixedly engaged with the rotating member 400, the third mating member 330 can drive the rotating member 400 and the display component 10 to rotate synchronously, so as to adjust the position of the display component 10 and facilitate the user's use of the display component 10.

[0065] When the first mating part 310 rotates and drives the second mating part 320 to move in the left and right direction, the second mating part 320 can drive the housing 500 to move in the left and right direction, and through the housing 500, drive the third mating part 330 to move in the left and right direction. Since the third mating part 330 is fixedly mated with the rotating part 400, the third mating part 330 can drive the rotating part 400 and the display component 10 to move synchronously to adjust the position of the display component 10.

[0066] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the fixing base 200 is formed as a sleeve structure, and the fixing base 200 is sleeved on the rotating member 400. On the one hand, it can restrict the movement direction of the rotating member 400 so that the rotating member 400 can stably drive the display component 10 to move. On the other hand, it can support the rotating member 400 so that the rotating member 400 can move or rotate stably.

[0067] In some embodiments, the sleeve structure extends horizontally, the rotating member 400 extends vertically, and the fixed seat 200 is sleeved on the left end of the rotating member 400. When the first mating member 310 drives the second mating member 320 to move horizontally, the second mating member 320 can drive the rotating member 400 to move horizontally via the third mating member 330. When the second mating member 320 rotates, the second mating member 320 can drive the rotating member 400 to rotate via the third mating member 330.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the drive mechanism 20 further includes a pre-tightening component 600, which is disposed on the fixed base 200 and is in contact with the rotating member 400 so that the rotating member 400 is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed base 200, so as to better install the rotating member 400 in the fixed base 200, so that the rotating member 400 can move and rotate more smoothly, and reduce the noise generated by the rotating member 400 during movement or rotation.

[0069] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the pre-tightening assembly 600 includes a clamping plate 610 and an elastic member 620. The clamping plate 610 abuts against the rotating member 400, and the elastic member 620 abuts against the clamping plate 610 to apply a force toward the rotating member 400 toward the clamping plate 610, so that the rotating member 400 can fit against the inner wall of the fixed base 200, so as to better install the rotating member 400 in the fixed base 200. At the same time, by applying a force using the elastic member 620, the vibration transmitted by the rotating member 400 can be effectively reduced.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the drive mechanism 20 is provided with two pre-tightening components 600, and the lower end of the fixed base 200 is provided with two mounting cavities 220 spaced apart in the left and right directions. The two pre-tightening components 600 are spaced apart in the mounting cavities 220 in the left and right directions. The clamping plate 610 is provided on the upper end of the elastic member 620, and the rotating member 400 is provided on the upper end of the clamping plate 610 and contacts and cooperates with the clamping plate 610.

[0071] In some examples, the clamping plate 610 is made of POM material. This setting helps to reduce the coefficient of friction of the clamping plate 610, thereby reducing the friction between the clamping plate 610 and the rotating part 400, so that the rotating part 400 can rotate and move smoothly relative to the fixed part.

[0072] When the rotating component 400 is placed inside the fixed base 200, due to the influence of gravity, the rotating component 400 will be located slightly below the fixed base 200. The elastic component 620 always exerts an upward thrust on the clamping plate 610, which in turn exerts an upward thrust on the rotating component 400, so that the rotating component 400 can overcome the influence of gravity and better fit against the inner wall of the fixed base 200.

[0073] In some embodiments, the pretensioning assembly 600 further includes a retaining ring 630, which fits against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 220 to fix it within the mounting cavity 220. The elastic element 620 includes a plurality of disc springs 621, which are stacked vertically within the mounting cavity 220 (vertical direction as shown in the figure). Figure 6As shown, it should be understood that the above directional limitations are only for the convenience of describing the accompanying drawings and do not limit the actual setting position and orientation of the drive mechanism 20 of the display component 10. The disc spring 621 near the retaining ring 630 contacts and engages with the retaining ring 630 to confine the elastic member 620 and the clamping plate 610 within the mounting cavity 220. The disc spring 621 near the clamping plate 610 contacts and engages with the clamping plate 610 to provide a thrust towards the rotating member 400, so that the rotating member 400 better fits against the inner wall of the fixed base 200.

[0074] In order to ensure that the disc spring 621 can reliably cooperate with the clamping plate 610 and the retaining ring 630, gaskets are provided between the disc spring 621 and the clamping plate 610, and between the disc spring 621 and the clamping plate 610, to increase the contact area.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing part 410 is provided with a support plane 411, and the display component 10 is adapted to be fixed to the support plane 411. The support plane 411 is provided to increase the contact area between the display component 10 and the fixing part 410, so as to better fix the display component 10 on the fixing part 410.

[0076] In some embodiments, the fixing part 410 is disposed at the left end of the rotating member 400, and a support plane 411 is provided on the upper side of the fixing part 410. The display member 10 is disposed on the support plane 411. When the first mating member 310 drives the second mating member 320 to rotate, the second mating member 320 drives the rotating member 400 to rotate through the third mating member 330, thereby driving the fixing part 410 and the display member 10 to rotate, so as to change the angle of the display member 10 relative to the fixing base 200. When the first mating member 310 drives the second mating member 320 to move, the second mating member 320 drives the third mating member 330 to move through the housing 500, thereby driving the rotating member 400 to move, driving the fixing part 410 and the display member 10 to move, so as to change the position of the display member 10, making it more convenient for the user to use the display member 10.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving assembly further drives the rotating member 400 to move relative to the fixed base 200. The rotating member 400 is provided with a guide post 210, and the fixed base 200 is provided with a guide groove 420. The guide groove 420 includes a first groove 421 and a second groove 422 that are connected and have an included angle. When the guide post 210 engages with the first groove 421, the guide post 210 can slide within the first groove 421. The first groove 421 restricts the movement of the guide post 210, thereby restricting the movement of the rotating member 400, enabling the driving assembly to drive the rotating member 400 to move relative to the fixed base 200. When the guide post 210 engages with the second groove 422, the guide post 210 can slide within the second groove 422. The second groove 422 restricts the movement of the guide post 210, thereby restricting the movement of the rotating member 400, enabling the driving assembly to drive the rotating member 400 to rotate relative to the fixed base 200.

[0078] In other embodiments of the invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 8 As shown, the rotating component 400 is provided with a guide groove 420, and the fixed base 200 is provided with a guide post 210. The guide groove 420 includes a first groove 421 and a second groove 422 that are connected and have an included angle. When the guide post 210 is engaged with the first groove 421, the guide post 210 can slide within the first groove 421. The guide post 210 restricts the movement of the rotating component 400 through the first groove 421, enabling the drive assembly to drive the rotating component 400 to move relative to the fixed base 200. When the guide post 210 is engaged with the second groove 422, the guide post 210 can slide within the second groove 422. The guide post 210 restricts the movement of the rotating component 400 through the second groove 422, enabling the drive assembly to drive the rotating component 400 to rotate relative to the fixed base 200.

[0079] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the guide post 210 is a screw component disposed on the fixed base 200. The first groove 421 extends along the axial direction of the rotating member 400. When the guide post 210 is engaged with the first groove 421, since the guide post 210 slides within the first groove 421, the drive assembly can only drive the rotating member 400 to move along the length direction of the first groove 421. The second groove 422 extends circumferentially along the rotating member 400. When the guide post 210 is engaged with the second groove 422, since the guide post 210 slides within the second groove 422, the drive assembly can only drive the rotating member 400 to rotate.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the first groove 421 extends in the left-right direction, and the second groove 422 is located at the right end of the first groove 421, forming a 90° angle with the first groove 421. When the guide post 210 is engaged with the first groove 421, since the guide post 210 extends into the first groove 421, the guide post 210 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 400 through the first groove 421, so that the rotating member 400 can only move in the left-right direction. The third mating member 330 is fixed on the rotating member 400. At this time, the third mating member 330 can only move in the left-right direction. The third mating member 330 forms a whole with the second mating member 320 through the box 500. Therefore, at this time, the second mating member 320 can only move in the left-right direction.

[0081] In other words, when the guide post 210 engages with the first groove 421, since the first mating part 310 and the second mating part 320 are threadedly engaged, and the second mating part 320 can only move in the left and right directions, when the drive motor 340 drives the first mating part 310 to rotate, the second mating part 320 can move in the left and right directions, thereby driving the third mating part 330 and the rotating part 400 to move in the left and right directions through the housing 500, so that the display component 10 on the rotating part 400 can move in the left and right directions to change the position of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200.

[0082] When the rotating component 400 moves a certain distance to the left, the guide post 210 slides to the right end of the first groove 421 and is located at the second groove 422. At this time, the guide post 210 cannot continue to slide to the right in the first groove 421, and the rotating component 400 cannot continue to move to the left. At this time, the guide post 210 can restrict the movement of the rotating component 400 through the second groove 422, so that the rotating component 400 can only rotate. The third mating component 330 is fixed on the rotating component 400. At this time, the third mating component 330 can only rotate. The third mating component 330 forms a whole with the second mating component 320 through the box 500. Therefore, at this time, the second mating component 320 can only rotate.

[0083] In other words, when the guide post 210 engages with the second groove 422, since the first mating part 310 and the second mating part 320 are threaded together and the second mating part 320 can only rotate, when the drive motor 340 drives the first mating part 310 to rotate, the second mating part 320 rotates with the first mating part 310. Since the second mating part 310 and the third mating part 320 are meshed together, the second mating part 310 can drive the third mating part 320 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating part 400 to rotate, so as to drive the display component 10 on the rotating part 400 to rotate and adjust the angle of the display component 10 relative to the fixed base 200.

[0084] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, one of the rotating member 400 and the fixed base 200 is provided with a guide groove 420, and the other of the rotating member 400 and the fixed base 200 is provided with a guide post 210. The extending direction of the guide groove 420 forms an angle with the extending direction of the rotation axis of the rotating member 400. The guide post 210 can extend into the guide groove 420 so as to restrict the movement of the rotating member 400 through the cooperation of the guide post 210 and the guide groove 420, so as to drive the rotating member 400 to rotate so that the rotating member 400 rotates and moves relative to the fixed base 200, thereby driving the display component 10 on the rotating member 400 to rotate and move, so as to realize the storage or use of the display component 10.

[0085] Specifically, when the drive assembly drives the rotating member 400 to rotate, the guide post 210 can slide in the guide groove 420. Since the extension direction of the guide groove 420 is at an angle to the extension direction of the rotation axis of the rotating member 400, the rotating member 400 can rotate while moving when the guide post 210 slides in the guide groove 420.

[0086] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the guide post 210 is a screw on the fixed base 200, and the guide groove 420 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the guide post 210. When the guide post 210 and the guide groove 420 are engaged, the guide post 210 can restrict the movement of the rotating member 400 through the guide groove 420, so that the rotating member 400 can only rotate and move at the same time. The third mating member 330 is fixed on the rotating member 400. At this time, the third mating member 330 can only rotate and move at the same time. The third mating member 330 forms an integral part with the second mating member 320 through the housing 500, and the third mating member 330 and the second mating member 320 are engaged. Therefore, the second mating member 320 can only rotate and move at the same time.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the guide groove 420 is inclined forward from left to right. When the guide post 210 engages with the guide groove 420, since the first engaging part 310 and the second engaging part 320 are threadedly engaged, and the second engaging part 320 can only rotate and move simultaneously, when the drive motor 340 drives the first engaging part 310 to rotate, the second engaging part 320 can rotate and move simultaneously. This, in turn, drives the third engaging part 330 to rotate and move simultaneously through the housing 500, so that the display component 10 on the rotating part 400 can rotate and move simultaneously, thereby enabling the use or storage of the display component 10.

[0088] Specifically, when the drive motor 340 drives the first mating part 310 to rotate clockwise, the second mating part 320 simultaneously rotates clockwise and moves to the left. The second mating part 320 drives the third mating part 330 to rotate counterclockwise and move to the left, which in turn drives the rotating part 400 to rotate counterclockwise and move to the left. At this time, the guide post 210 slides from left to right in the guide groove 420, so that the display component 10 moves to the left and rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle, making it easier for the user to use the display component 10.

[0089] When the drive motor 340 drives the first mating part 310 to rotate counterclockwise, the second mating part 320 simultaneously rotates counterclockwise and moves to the right. The second mating part 320 drives the third mating part 330 to rotate clockwise and move to the right, which in turn drives the rotating part 400 to rotate clockwise and move to the right. At this time, the guide post 210 slides from right to left in the guide groove 420 so that the display component 10 rotates to the right and clockwise by a certain angle, making it easier for the user to use the display component 10.

[0090] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when assembling the drive mechanism 20, the user can first fix the drive motor 340 on the fixed base 200, then make the first mating part 310 and the drive motor 340 engage, and then install the rotating part 400 on the fixed base 200; then install the first mating part 310 and the second mating part 320 into the box body 502, so that the first mating part 310 and the second mating part 320 mesh and engage, and then use the box cover 501 to cover the first mating part 310 and the second mating part 320. The position of 0 is defined, and then the assembled box 500 is installed at one end of the rotating part 400 and the first mating part 310, so that the first mating part 310 and the second mating part 320 are mated, and the third mating part 330 is fixed on the rotating part 400; then the two pre-tightening components 600 are installed in the mounting cavity 220 of the fixed base 200, and then the guide post 210 is installed on the fixed base 200, so that the guide post 210 is mated with the guide groove 420, and finally the display component 10 is installed on the support plane 411.

[0091] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below. The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body and a drive mechanism 20 for the display component 10 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] The mounting base 200 is fixed to the vehicle body. Since the rotating component 400 is rotatably and movablely mounted on the mounting base 200, the rotating component 400 can be moved and rotated relative to the vehicle body, thereby enabling the display component 10 to be moved and rotated relative to the vehicle body. This allows for the storage or adjustment of the position of the display component 10, making it convenient for users to use the display component 10.

[0093] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by utilizing the drive mechanism 20 of the display component 10 according to the above embodiment of the present invention, the display component can be moved or rotated by a motor, thereby increasing the adjustable range of the display component position and improving the user experience.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle body is provided with a receiving space, and the drive mechanism 20 is provided in the receiving space. In the use state, the rotating member 400 drives the display component 10 to extend out of the receiving space so that the display component 10 is exposed outside the vehicle body, so that the user can observe the environment outside the vehicle body through the display component 10.

[0095] In the stowed state, the rotating component 400 drives the display component 10 to be stowed into the receiving space, thereby realizing the stowage of the display component 10, which helps to reduce the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle and improve the aesthetics of the vehicle body.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, the display component 10 is an electronic rearview mirror, which is fixed to the fixed part 410. When in use, the electronic rearview mirror extends out of the receiving space and can receive information captured by a camera installed on the outside of the vehicle body, so that the user can observe the environment around the vehicle body through the electronic display mirror.

[0097] In some embodiments, the electronic display can be connected to a display screen inside the vehicle, which can be positioned near the driver's seat to allow the user to observe the situation around the vehicle, thus improving user convenience and user experience.
