Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive rearview mirror technology, and in particular to an automotive rearview mirror with side wiper function and an automotive vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Cars have windshield wipers on the front windshield to clear rain and snow from the glass and ensure clear visibility in rainy or snowy weather. However, the obstruction of side windows by rain and snow is often overlooked by car manufacturers. When changing lanes or merging from a side road into a main road in rainy or snowy weather, obstructed side windows can often impair the driver's ability to see traffic flow to the side and rear in the rearview mirror, potentially leading to serious traffic accidents.
[0003] Existing side window wiper mechanisms are generally installed in the triangular area between the A-pillar and the side window, which is an exposed type. The drive mechanism is located in this area to operate the wipers. However, this structure occupies a significant portion of the glass in the triangular area of the side window, obstructing the driver's view, increasing blind spots, and affecting the driver's ability to observe road conditions. Other side window wiper mechanisms are installed at the junction of the A-pillar and the car body, using a built-in installation method. This requires integrating the drive mechanism into the A-pillar. However, due to space constraints, the motor and transmission system (gearbox or linkage mechanism) in the side window wiper assembly are relatively large. To achieve built-in installation, the size of the existing A-pillar must be increased. This increased A-pillar size also indirectly expands the driver's blind spot, affecting vehicle safety.
