Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rearview mirror technology, and particularly to high-definition automotive rearview mirrors. Background Technology

[0002] Car rearview mirrors are categorized into interior rearview mirrors and side rearview mirrors based on their installation location. Side rearview mirrors feature electronic adjustment; pressing a button on the control panel automatically adjusts the viewing angle, enhancing driving safety. After parking, to prevent scratches from other vehicles, the side mirrors need to be folded to the sides of the vehicle. However, upon re-driving, the mirrors often accumulate a significant amount of dust, directly affecting their clarity. Manually cleaning them after driving can compromise driving safety. Therefore, maintaining clean rearview mirror surfaces is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a high-definition rearview mirror for automobiles, comprising a mirror housing, a mirror handle on the inner side of the mirror housing, a mirror base connected to the inner side of the mirror handle, a mirror frame inside the mirror housing, a lens inside the mirror frame, a connecting seat fixed to the rear of the lens, a rotating shaft mounted on the connecting seat, the inner end of the rotating shaft passing through the inner side of the mirror housing, and the outer end of the rotating shaft being rotated onto the mirror housing via a rotating sleeve. The mirror housing contains a rotating cavity communicating with the mirror handle. A through hole is formed from the rear of the mirror handle inwards. A collecting tube is installed within the rotating cavity. One end of the collecting tube is inserted into the mirror handle and locked. An air intake pipe is provided within the through hole, entering the mirror handle along the through hole and connecting to the inner end of the collecting tube. The rear end opening of the air intake pipe faces rearward. The other end of the collecting tube extends into the rotating cavity and is equipped with several nozzles. Several nozzles are distributed on the rear side of the mirror frame. The inner end of the mirror housing is provided with a synchronization component. The synchronization component includes a driven wheel fixed to the inner end of the rotating shaft, a driving wheel that is rotated to the inner end of the mirror handle, and a belt connecting the driven wheel and the driving wheel. The top surface of the mirror base is a plane, and a vertically upward mounting shaft is welded on the plane. The mirror handle is rotated to the plane of the mirror base through the mounting shaft. When the mirror handle rotates the mirror housing backward to be in a straight line with the mirror base, the driving wheel rolls into contact with the plane of the mirror base, and at the same time, the rotating shaft and the driven wheel move away from the front side of the mirror base. Conversely, when the mirror handle rotates the mirror housing forward to be close to the vehicle body, the driving wheel rolls backward along the plane to the rear side of the mirror base and drives the driving wheel to complete a 180-degree rotation simultaneously through the belt.

[0004] Preferably, a first one-way valve is installed on the air intake pipe, the collection pipe is adhered to the rear wall of the inner cavity of the mirror housing, the collection pipe is a rubber corrugated pipe, the collection pipe is flat before being filled with gas, and the collection pipe is elliptical after being filled with gas and expanding.

[0005] Preferably, a branch pipe is connected to the end of the collecting pipe extending into the rotating cavity. The branch pipe is divided into upper and lower branches. Several nozzles are connected to the upper branch and several nozzles are connected to the lower branch. The nozzles on the upper branch are inclined downwards, and the nozzles on the lower branch are inclined upwards. The upper branch of the branch pipe is connected to the upper edge of the collecting pipe, and the lower branch of the branch pipe is connected to the lower edge of the collecting pipe.

[0006] Preferably, a damping sleeve is installed at the inner end of the mirror housing, one end of the rotating shaft that protrudes from the mirror housing is fitted onto the damping sleeve, and a rubber layer is provided on the top plane of the mirror base.

[0007] Preferably, a vent pipe extends upward from the bottom of the mirror handle, and a second one-way valve is installed on the vent pipe. The rated opening pressure of the second one-way valve is greater than the rated opening pressure of the first one-way valve.

[0008] Preferably, the back of the mirror housing is provided with a bevel, and an operation hole is formed on the back of the mirror housing by the bevel. The operation hole is located on the rear side of the branch pipe. A switch valve is fixed on the branch pipe. The valve handle of the switch valve faces rearward and is close to the operation hole. A rubber sleeve is installed on the rear side of the operation hole. The rubber sleeve is a tapered sleeve that gradually tapers towards the back. The handle of the switch valve passes through the operation hole and enters the rubber sleeve, and presses against the inner wall of the rubber sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the frame protrudes forward around the periphery of the lens, and the lens is deeply recessed within the frame.

[0010] Preferably, the frame is assembled from multiple frame units, which are rotatably connected to the mirror housing via a rotating base. A connecting rod is provided inside the rotating cavity, with one end of the connecting rod connected to the frame unit and the other end connected to the switch valve.

[0011] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0012] Turn the rearview mirror to the side of the vehicle. As the mirror turns, the mirror handle will cause the drive wheel to turn backward. The drive wheel, due to this backward rotation, will also rotate along the plane of the mirror mount. The drive wheel, via a belt, drives the driven wheel, which in turn drives the shaft. The shaft, along with the connecting seat, causes the mirror lens to rotate 180 degrees, flipping the mirror surface backward and the back of the lens forward. When manually turning the rearview mirror, the palm should be placed on the inclined surface of the back of the mirror housing. After turning the mirror to the side of the vehicle, the side of the vehicle provides support to the front of the mirror housing, while the palm applies pressure to the outer end of the rubber sleeve, forcing the sleeve to push the handle of the switch valve. Rotating the handle downward opens the switch valve, allowing gas from the collection pipe to enter the two branches of the branch pipe. This gas is then sprayed onto the mirror surface through nozzles on the two branches, achieving the purpose of cleaning the mirror lens while storing it, ensuring the lens surface is clean and retains its high-definition effect for the next use. The lens cleaning is a synchronized action completed while the rearview mirror is turned to the side of the vehicle for storage, making it easy to operate. Furthermore, since the lens is rotated to the side of the vehicle along with the rearview mirror, and after flipping it over, the mirror side is snapped into the mirror housing, not only is the lens effectively cleaned, but the cleaned lens is also in a relatively enclosed space, preventing dust from adhering again when the vehicle is not in motion. Before driving, the rearview mirror can be rotated back to the outside of the vehicle, and the lens will still be clean without the need for secondary wiping. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The above and other embodiments and advantages of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0022] In one implementation, such as Figures 1-7 As shown:

[0023] This embodiment provides a high-definition rearview mirror for automobiles, including a mirror housing 1, a mirror handle 2 on the inner side of the mirror housing 1, a mirror base 3 connected to the inner side of the mirror handle 2, a mirror frame 4 inside the mirror housing 1, a lens 5 inside the mirror frame 4, a connecting seat 6 fixed to the rear of the lens 5, a rotating shaft 7 mounted on the connecting seat 6, the inner end of the rotating shaft 7 passing through the inner side of the mirror housing 1, and the outer end of the rotating shaft 7 being connected to the mirror housing 1 via a rotating sleeve. A rotating cavity 8 is provided inside the mirror housing 1, communicating with the mirror handle 2. A through hole is provided from the rear of the mirror handle 2 inwards. A collecting tube 9 is installed inside the rotating cavity 8, one end of which is inserted into the mirror handle 2 and locked. An air inlet pipe 10 is provided inside the through hole, entering the mirror handle 2 along the through hole and connecting to the inner end of the collecting tube 9. The rear end opening of the air inlet pipe 10 faces rearward. The other end of the collecting tube 9 extends into the rotating cavity 8 and is equipped with several nozzles 11. Each nozzle 11 is distributed on the rear side of the mirror frame 4. The inner end of the mirror housing 1 is provided with a synchronization component. The synchronization component includes a driven wheel 12 fixed on the inner end of the rotating shaft 7, a driving wheel 13 transferred to the inner end of the mirror handle 2, and a belt 14 connecting the driven wheel 12 and the driving wheel 13. The top surface of the mirror base 3 is a plane, and a vertically upward mounting shaft 15 is welded on the plane. The mirror handle 2 is transferred to the plane of the mirror base 3 through the mounting shaft 15. When the mirror handle 2 rotates the mirror housing 1 backward to be in the same straight line as the mirror base 3, the driving wheel 13 rolls and contacts the plane of the mirror base 3. At the same time, the rotating shaft 7 and the driven wheel 12 move away from the front side of the mirror base 3. Conversely, when the mirror handle 2 rotates the mirror housing 1 forward to be close to the vehicle body, the driving wheel 13 rolls backward along the plane to the rear side of the mirror base 3 and drives the driving wheel 13 to complete a 180-degree rotation at the same time through the belt 14.

[0024] A first one-way valve 19 is installed on the air intake pipe 10. The collection pipe 9 is attached to the rear wall of the inner cavity of the mirror housing 1. The collection pipe 9 is a rubber corrugated pipe. Before being filled with gas, the collection pipe 9 is flat and after being filled with gas, it expands into an elliptical shape.

[0025] A branch pipe 16 is connected to the end of the collection pipe 9 that extends into the rotating cavity 8. The branch pipe 16 is divided into upper and lower branches. Several nozzles 11 are connected to the upper branch and several nozzles 11 are connected to the lower branch. The nozzles 11 on the upper branch are tilted downwards and the nozzles 11 on the lower branch are tilted upwards. The upper branch of the branch pipe 16 is connected to the upper edge of the collection pipe 9 and the lower branch of the branch pipe 16 is connected to the lower edge of the collection pipe 9.

[0026] A vent pipe 18 extends upward from the bottom of the mirror handle 2. A second check valve 20 is installed on the vent pipe 18. The rated opening pressure of the second check valve 20 is greater than the rated opening pressure of the first check valve 19.

[0027] The back of the mirror housing 1 is provided with a bevel 24, and an operation hole 21 is opened on the back of the mirror housing 1 through the bevel 24. The operation hole 21 is located on the rear side of the branch pipe 16. A switch valve 22 is fixed on the branch pipe 16. The valve handle of the switch valve 22 faces backward and is close to the operation hole 21. A rubber sleeve 23 is installed on the rear side of the operation hole 21. The rubber sleeve 23 is a tapered sleeve that gradually tapers towards the back. The handle of the switch valve 22 passes through the operation hole 21 and enters the rubber sleeve 23, and presses against the inner wall of the rubber sleeve 23.

[0028] Working principle and effect: In actual use, the inner end of the mirror mount 3 is fixed to one side of the vehicle body. During the car's movement, the airflow from the windward side acts on the back of the mirror housing 1. As the car accelerates, the impact pressure of the airflow increases. When the air pressure exceeds the rated opening pressure of the first one-way valve 19, some gas will be injected into the collection pipe 9 through the intake pipe 10. The collection pipe 9 is flat (collapsed) when no airflow is injected. As gas is continuously injected, the collection pipe 9 will gradually expand. When the gas pressure in the collection pipe 9 exceeds the rated opening pressure of the second one-way valve 20, the second one-way valve 20 will open, and the excess gas will pass through the vent pipe. 18 releases air (pressure) to ensure that the collection pipe 9 collects gas while preventing it from bursting. When decelerating and stopping, the airflow on the windward side decreases significantly. At this time, the airflow pressure on the windward side is less than the rated opening pressure of the first one-way valve 19, so the first one-way valve 19 closes. The intake pipe 10 stops injecting gas into the collection pipe 9. At the same time, the gas pressure in the collection pipe 9 is less than the rated opening pressure of the second one-way valve 20, so the second one-way valve 20 also closes. At this time, the gas collected in the collection pipe 9 no longer leaks out through the vent pipe 18. After stopping, the driver habitually moves the outer end of the rearview mirror (mirror housing 1) to turn the rearview mirror to the side of the vehicle. As the rearview mirror tilts backward, the mirror handle 2, along with the drive wheel 13, tilts backward along the top plane of the mirror base 3. The drive wheel 13 rotates automatically due to friction against the top surface of the mirror base 3. Simultaneously, the drive wheel 13 drives the driven wheel 12 to rotate via the belt 14. The driven wheel 12 then drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. When the inner end of the mirror handle 2 reaches the rear of the mirror base 3, the rotating shaft 7, along with the connecting seat 6, and the connecting seat 6, rotates the lens 5 180 degrees up and down. The drive wheel 13 disengages from the top surface of the mirror base 3 and stops rotating due to friction. The rotating shaft 7 also stops rotating the lens 5. At this point, the lens 5, after rotating 180 degrees, has its mirror surface facing backward. With the back side facing forward, during this operation, the palm is placed on the inclined surface 24 on the back of the mirror housing 1, and the rearview mirror is tilted to the side of the vehicle before stopping. The palm continues to provide pushing force to the outer end of the rubber sleeve 23, which in turn pushes the handle of the switch valve 22, causing the handle to rotate downwards and opening the switch valve 22. At this time, the gas compressed in the collection pipe 9 will enter the two branches of the branch pipe 16 under the action of air pressure, and be sprayed onto the mirror surface from both above and below through the nozzles 11 on the two branches. This achieves the purpose of automatically cleaning the dust and other adhering substances on the mirror surface during driving, ensuring that the mirror surface is clean and still performs its high-definition effect when the lens 5 is used next time. In addition, the cleaning of the lens 5 is completed synchronously with the rearview mirror tilting to the side of the vehicle for storage, making it easy to operate.Furthermore, since the lens 5 is rotated to the side of the vehicle body along with the rearview mirror, and after flipping, the mirror side is snapped into the mirror housing 1, not only is the lens 5 effectively cleaned, but the lens 5 is also in a relatively closed space (rotating cavity 8) after cleaning, which prevents dust from adhering again when the vehicle is not in motion. Before the vehicle is driven, the rearview mirror is rotated back to the outside of the vehicle body, and the lens 5 can still be kept clean without the need for secondary wiping.

[0029] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, a damping sleeve 17 is installed at the inner end of the mirror housing 1, and one end of the rotating shaft 7 that protrudes from the mirror housing 1 is fitted onto the damping sleeve 17. A rubber layer is provided on the top plane of the mirror base 3. After the rotating shaft 7 rotates 180 degrees, even if the drive wheel 13 disengages from the top surface of the mirror base 3 and no longer rotates (the drive wheel 13 loses its friction effect, so the drive wheel 13 no longer rotates), the damping action of the damping sleeve 17 prevents the rotating shaft 7 from rotating due to inertia, ensuring that the mirror side faces the nozzle 11 at this time.

[0030] like Figure 7 As shown, another embodiment discloses the opening method of the switch valve 22. The lens frame 4 surrounds the outer edge of the lens 5 and protrudes forward. The lens 5 is deeply embedded in the lens frame 4. The lens frame 4 is composed of multiple lens frame units 25 spliced ​​together. The lens frame units 25 are rotated onto the lens housing 1 through a rotating seat. A connecting rod 26 is provided in the rotating cavity 8. One end of the connecting rod 26 is connected to the lens frame unit 25, and the other end is connected to the switch valve 22. After the rearview mirror is tilted towards the side of the vehicle body, when the front of the mirror frame 4 presses against the side of the vehicle body, the side of the vehicle body will lift the front of the mirror frame 4. Under the reaction force, the free ends of these mirror frames 4 are forced to rotate into the mirror housing 1. When one of the mirror frames 4 rotates inward, it will push the connecting rod 26. The other end of the connecting rod 26 will trigger the switch valve 22 to open automatically. At this time, the mirror frame unit 25 forms a tighter contact with the side of the vehicle body, so that the mirror 4 is in a relatively closed environment to prevent dust from adhering. Moreover, the mirror frame unit 25 can also be used to control the opening and closing of the switch valve 22.

[0031] The mirror frame unit 25 is connected to the mirror housing 1 via a rotating base. The rotating base referred to here is a torsion spring type rotating base, that is, when the front of the mirror frame unit 25 leaves the side of the vehicle body, it can automatically rotate back because the side of the vehicle body no longer provides a reaction force to it. At the same time as rotating, it uses the reverse pulling force of the connecting rod 26 to rotate and close the valve handle of the switch valve 22. The torsion spring type rotating base consists of a torsion spring and a rotating base, which is quite common and will not be described in detail.

[0032] A discharge hole is provided in the bottom area of ​​the lens housing 1, or a mesh structure is adopted. When the deposits on the lens 5 are cleaned downward by the nozzle 11, they are discharged outward through the discharge hole or mesh.
