The terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. The following describes an implementation method of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a rearview mirror rotation structure, including:

[0037] A fixing member 1, on which a rotating member 2 is sleeved, and the rotating member 2 is connected to the rearview mirror;

[0038] The wall surface facing the fixing member 1 is raised to form a partition portion 11, so that a first matching portion 12 and a second matching portion 13 are formed on the fixing member 1;

[0039] The edge of the rotating member 2 extends toward the fixed member 1 to form a stopper 21, and the stopper 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the partition 11;

[0040] A first limiting block 121 is fixedly disposed on the first matching portion 13, and a limiting opening 211 is provided at a position where the blocking portion 21 is opposite to the first limiting block 121. The first limiting block 121 reciprocates in the limiting opening 211 to limit the rotation of the rotating member 2.

[0041] The second matching portion 13 and the partition portion 11 form an installation groove 131 , in which a plurality of first elastic members 14 are arranged at intervals. Two ends of any first elastic member 14 respectively contact the inner wall of the rotating member 2 and the inner wall of the fixing member 1 to reset the rotating member 2 .

[0042] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , those skilled in the art can arrange the fixing member 1 to cooperate with the rotating member 2, so as to realize the rotation of the rearview mirror.

[0043] Specifically, the rotating member 2 is sleeved on the fixing member 1, and the rotating member 2 is connected to the rearview mirror, so that the rearview mirror and the rotating member 2 can rotate simultaneously. Further, the rotation of the rearview mirror and the rotating member 2 can be adjusted by the structure between the rotating member 2 and the fixing member 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, those skilled in the art may provide a partition 11 on the fixing member 1. The partition 11 may divide the wall surface of the fixing member 1 into a first matching portion 12 and a second matching portion 13.

[0045] It is understandable that according to Figure 3 The position of the partition 11 of the fixing member 1 is disc-shaped, that is, the partition is set in a circular ring shape, so that the fixing member 1 can be divided into a second matching portion 13 at the middle position and a first matching portion 12 at the edge.

[0046] Furthermore, those skilled in the art may arrange the wall surface of the rotating member 2 facing the position of the fixing member 1 to extend toward the fixing member 1 to form a stopper 21 , and the stopper 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the partition 11 .

[0047] By virtue of the structure in which the stopper 21 cooperates with the partition 11 , the stopper 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the partition 11 , that is, the stopper 21 is distributed on the area of ​​the first matching portion 12 .

[0048] In this embodiment, a first limit block 121 may be provided on the first matching portion 12, and the first limit block 121 extends toward the direction where the rotating member 1 is located. Correspondingly, a limit opening 211 is provided on the stopper 21 of the rotating member 2.

[0049] With the above structure, the first limit block 121 can move in the limit opening 211. Overall, the limit opening 211 and the first limit block 121 move relative to each other during the rotation of the rotating member 2. The structure of the limit opening 211 and the first limit block 121 can limit the angle of movement of the rotating member 2. The position where the first limit block 121 and the two ends of the limit opening 211 collide is the limit position of the rotation of the rotating member 2.

[0050] The technicians in this field continue to set the second matching part 13, and the second matching part 13 and the partition part 11 form an installation groove 131. A plurality of first elastic members 14 are arranged at intervals in the installation groove 131. The two ends of any first elastic member 14 respectively contact the inner wall of the rotating member 2 and the inner wall of the fixed member 1 to reset the rotating member 2.

[0051] By means of the above structure, the first elastic member 14 can be squeezed when the rotating member 2 is rotated by an external force, and when the external force on the rotating member 2 disappears, the first elastic member 4 can restore the rotating member 2.

[0052] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the first elastic member 4 resets the rotating member 2, thereby enabling the rearview mirror to reset after rotation, and the structure of the first limit block 121 and the limit opening 211 can limit the rotation angle of the rotating member 2, thereby achieving the limitation of the rotation angle of the rearview mirror.

[0053] In the above embodiment, those skilled in the art arrange the rotating member 2 to be sleeved on the fixed member 1. In this embodiment, preferably, a connecting shaft 15 is protruded from the middle position of the fixed member 1 toward the middle position of the rotating member 2, and the connecting shaft 15 is passed through the middle position of the rotating member 2. The above structure allows the rotating member 2 to be sleeved on the fixed member 1, thereby forming a stable connection structure.

[0054] According to the above structure, those skilled in the art can further configure the rotating member 2. Preferably, two cylindrical plates extend from one side of the rotating member 2 away from the fixing member 1 in a direction away from the fixing member 1 to form a fixing groove 25, and a second elastic member 23 is installed in the fixing groove 25, and the two ends of the second elastic member 23 respectively contact the rotating member 2 and the rearview mirror, so as to limit the movement of the rearview mirror in a direction perpendicular to the rotating member 2.

[0055] With the above structure, a fixing groove 25 is provided for mounting the second elastic member 23. The ends of the second elastic member 23 respectively contact the rotating member 2 and the rearview mirror, so that the rearview mirror can be limited when it moves toward the rotating member 2.

[0056] In summary, those skilled in the art set the first elastic member 14 to limit the rotation process of the rearview mirror, and at the same time, set the second elastic member 23 to limit the movement process of the rearview mirror toward the fixing member 1, so as to make the installation position of the rearview mirror more stable.

[0057] In the above-mentioned embodiment, those skilled in the art install a plurality of first elastic members 14. That is, the damping of the rotating member 2 during the rotation process can be controlled by the number of the first elastic members 14.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, preferably, the plurality of first elastic members 14 are sleeved on the outer wall of the arc column 3 , and both ends of the arc column 3 are fixedly connected to the fixing member 1 via the second limiting block 4 .

[0059] With the above structure, those skilled in the art can limit the relative positions of the plurality of first elastic members 14 by setting the coordination between the arc column 3 and the plurality of first elastic members 14. At the same time, both ends of the arc column 3 are fixedly connected to the fixing member 1 through the second limit block 4, so that the relative position of the arc column 3 can be fixed, thereby making the relative position of the first elastic member 14 stable.

[0060] In the above-mentioned embodiment, preferably, the rotating member 2 protrudes toward the wall surface of the fixing member 1 to form a plurality of bosses 24 , and any boss 24 is located between two adjacent first elastic members 14 and contacts the adjacent first elastic members 14 .

[0061] According to the above structure, a plurality of bosses 24 are provided on the rotating member 2. The bosses 24 are correspondingly provided between two adjacent first elastic members 14. It can be understood that when the rotating member 2 starts to rotate, the bosses 24 start to move, and the movement of the bosses 24 drives the first elastic member 14 to deform, so that the rotating member 2 can be reset under the action of the first elastic member 14 after the external force on the rotating member 2 ends.

[0062] According to the above settings, those skilled in the art can set the installation of the first elastic member 14. Preferably, a plurality of pre-installation auxiliary blocks 5 are provided on the side of the fixed member 1 away from the rotating member 2, and the plurality of pre-installation auxiliary blocks 5 are provided in the fixed member 1 and clamped on the arc column 3, so as to position the installation of the first elastic member 14 and the boss 24.

[0063] Specifically, a plurality of first elastic members 14 are sleeved on the arc column 3, and a plurality of pre-installation auxiliary blocks 5 are inserted into the fixing member 1 and clamped on the arc column 3. Preferably, the plurality of pre-installation auxiliary blocks 5 respectively contact the adjacent ends of the plurality of first elastic members 14. The pre-installation auxiliary blocks 5 are clamped at the ends of the first elastic members 14 at the same time, so as to install the relative positions of the first elastic members 14.

[0064] After the first elastic member 14 is installed, the skilled person in the art installs the rotating member 2 onto the fixed member 1. It is understandable that during the installation of the rotating member 2, the boss 24 can be installed between two adjacent first elastic members 14. After the rotating member 2 is installed, the plurality of pre-installed auxiliary blocks 5 are removed, so that the first elastic member 14 is in conflict with the boss 24.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the first elastic member 14 abuts against the rotating member 2. In this embodiment, preferably, the side of the boss facing the arc column contacts the arc column, and the side wall of the boss adjacent to the side facing the arc column abuts against the first elastic member.

[0066] By means of the above structure, the boss can maintain a stable contact with the first elastic member during the movement, so that the rotation process of the rotating member 2 is more stable.

[0067] To sum up, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the technicians in this field set the first elastic member 14 to be connected to the rotating member 2 through the boss 24, and to be connected to the fixed member 1 through the second limit block 4, so that the first elastic member 14 can be used for buffering and resetting during the rotation of the rotating member 2.

[0068] In the above structure, preferably, the end side of the first limiting block 121 facing the limiting opening 211 is kept separated from the wall surface of the limiting opening 211, so that the rotating member 2 will not interfere with each other during the movement.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, preferably, the end of the second elastic member 23 away from the fixing member 2 contacts the fixing plate 6, and the fixing plate 6 is connected to the rearview mirror. The fixing plate 6 can make the relative position of the second elastic member 23 more stable, thereby improving the reliability of the rearview mirror rotation structure.

[0070] In one embodiment, the rotating member 2 is provided with a plurality of protrusions toward the fixed seat 1, and the plurality of protrusions are provided near the middle position. A plurality of grooves are provided on the side wall of the fixed seat 1 facing the rotating member 2, and the plurality of grooves correspond to the plurality of protrusions. The initial position of the rotating member 2 can be positioned by the cooperation between the protrusions and the grooves, and the protrusions slide out of the grooves during the rotation of the rotating member 2.

[0071] Although different specific embodiments are mentioned in the content of this application, this application is not limited to the situations described in the industry standards or embodiments, etc. Some industry standards or slightly modified implementation plans based on the implementation of the custom methods or embodiments can also achieve the same, equivalent or similar, or predictable implementation effects after deformation of the above embodiments. The embodiments of data acquisition, processing, output, judgment methods, etc. after these modifications or deformations can still fall within the scope of the optional implementation plans of this application.

[0072] Although the present application has been described through embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many modifications and changes to the present application without departing from the spirit of the present application. It is intended that the attached embodiments include these modifications and changes without departing from the present application.
