[0013] In one possible implementation, the exterior rearview mirror further includes a second supplementary light, which is fixed to the receiving cavity and opposite to the through hole, wherein the second supplementary light is used to emit visible light;

[0014] The second fill light is electrically connected to the drive circuit board, and the electronic control unit controls the second fill light and the first fill light to turn on simultaneously through the drive circuit board.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the camera, the first fill light, and the second fill light are fixed to the drive circuit board.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the first fill light and the second fill light are located on the same side of the camera.

[0023] The technical solution provided in this disclosure includes at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This disclosure provides an exterior rearview mirror. Since the camera is fixed to the exterior rearview mirror, and the mirror is located on both sides of the vehicle, after the driver circuit board activates the camera, the camera can capture images from both sides of the vehicle and transmit these images to the vehicle's central control screen. This allows the driver to observe images from both sides of the vehicle through the central control screen, improving the field of vision and thus enhancing driving safety.

[0025] Furthermore, since the camera is fixed to the bracket, it will not affect the driver's ability to observe the situation on both sides and behind the vehicle through the rearview mirror itself.

[0026] Furthermore, the cost of mounting the camera and drive circuit board in the bracket is lower, resulting in a lower overall vehicle cost.

Detailed Implementation

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] To improve driving safety, radar and cameras are usually installed at the rear of the vehicle. The cameras transmit the images they capture to the vehicle's central control screen, allowing the driver to observe whether there are any obstacles behind the vehicle.

[0053] However, placing a camera at the rear of the vehicle only allows viewing the area directly behind the vehicle via the central control screen, resulting in a limited field of view and potential safety hazards while driving. Some higher-spec models are equipped with a 360° surround-view camera system, but this increases the overall cost of the vehicle.

[0054] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides an exterior rearview mirror, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the exterior rearview mirror 400 includes a mirror body 1, a bracket 2, a camera 3, and a drive circuit board 4. The bracket 2 is fixed to the outside of the vehicle, and the mirror body 1 is connected to the bracket 2. The bracket 2 has a receiving cavity 2a, in which the drive circuit board 4 and the camera 3 are fixed. The side wall of the bracket 2 has a through hole 20, which faces the rear of the vehicle and is opposite to the camera 3. Figure 5 As shown, the drive circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the camera 3 and the vehicle's electronic control unit 100. The camera 3 is also electrically connected to the vehicle's central control screen 200. The electronic control unit 100 controls the camera 3 to turn on or off through the drive circuit board 4, and controls the camera 3 to transmit the captured images to the central control screen 200.

[0055] Among them, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) 100 can also be called the vehicle computer or the on-board computer.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the exterior rearview mirror 400 also includes a transmission line 7, and the drive circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 100 and the vehicle battery through the transmission line 7. This enables the drive circuit board 4 to receive transmission signals sent by the electronic control unit 100 and to draw power from the vehicle battery, thereby ensuring that the camera 3 can successfully acquire images.

[0057] The rearview mirror body 1 is rotatably connected to the bracket 2. The rearview mirror body 1 has a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the rearview mirror body 1 rotates towards the vehicle body, with the mirror surface facing the vehicle body. In the extended state, the rearview mirror body 1 rotates away from the vehicle body, with the mirror surface facing the rear of the vehicle. When the vehicle is parked, the rearview mirror body 1 is in the retracted state. When the vehicle is in motion, the rearview mirror body 1 is in the extended state. The drive circuit board 4 and the camera 3 are fixed to the bracket 2. When the rearview mirror body 1 is retracted or extended, the drive circuit board 4 and the camera 3 will not rotate. In this way, even if the rearview mirror body 1 malfunctions and cannot be extended, the driver can still observe the situation on both sides and behind the vehicle through the camera 3. It also ensures that the transmission line 7 will not move when the rearview mirror body 1 is retracted or extended, thereby reducing the risk of the transmission line 7 becoming loose or falling off.

[0058] When a rear camera is installed at the rear of the vehicle, the central control screen 200 can also display an image of the area directly behind the vehicle. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the image in the middle area of ​​the central control screen 200 is the image displayed from directly behind, while the images in the two side areas are the images displayed from the left and right sides of the vehicle, respectively.

[0059] The technical solution provided in this disclosure allows the camera 3 to be fixed to the exterior rearview mirror, and since the exterior rearview mirror 400 is located on both sides of the vehicle, after the drive circuit board 4 activates the camera 3, the camera 3 can capture images of both sides of the vehicle and transmit the images to the vehicle's central control screen 200. In this way, the driver can observe the images of both sides of the vehicle through the central control screen 200, improving the field of vision and thus enhancing driving safety.

[0060] Furthermore, since the camera 3 is fixed to the bracket 2, the camera 3 will not affect the driver's ability to observe the situation on both sides and behind the vehicle through the rearview mirror body 1.

[0061] Furthermore, compared to 360° panoramic imaging, the cost of mounting the camera 3 and drive circuit board 4 in the bracket 2 is lower, resulting in a lower overall vehicle cost.

[0062] When reversing, it is necessary to constantly observe the situation behind the vehicle to avoid collisions with obstacles. Therefore, camera 3 needs to be turned on when reversing.

[0063] To ensure that camera 3 can be activated when the vehicle is reversing, in some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the vehicle's transmission 300 via the electronic control unit 100. When the transmission 300 is in reverse gear, the electronic control unit 100 controls the drive circuit board 4 to activate the camera 3. When the transmission 300 disengages from reverse gear, the electronic control unit 100 controls the drive circuit board 4 to deactivate the camera 3. This allows the driver to observe a wider area to the sides and rear of the vehicle via the central control screen 200, thereby improving safety when reversing.

[0064] Alternatively, in other examples, the electronic control unit 100 can also receive user commands. For instance, when the vehicle is parked or moving forward, if the user wants to view the images on both sides of the vehicle, they can control the drive circuit board 4 to activate the camera 3 via the electronic control unit 100. Correspondingly, buttons can be installed in the cabin, connected to the electronic control unit 100; by pressing a button, the user can view the images on both sides of the vehicle via the central control screen 200.

[0065] For example, when a vehicle wants to change lanes to either side, the electronic control unit 100 can control the drive circuit board 4 to activate the camera 3 to observe whether there are any vehicles approaching from the side and rear of the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle when changing lanes.

[0066] When the vehicle is in a dimly lit environment, camera 3 struggles to capture clear images. Therefore, in some examples, such as... Figures 3-5 As shown, the exterior rearview mirror also includes a first supplementary light 5, which is fixed in the receiving cavity 2a and opposite to the through hole 20. The first supplementary light 5 emits infrared light. It is electrically connected to the drive circuit board 4, and the electronic control unit 100 controls the opening and closing of the first supplementary light 5 via the drive circuit board 4. When the camera 3 is turned on, the first supplementary light 5 is activated, emitting infrared light into the surrounding environment. Objects in the surrounding environment then reflect the infrared light back to the camera 3, enabling the camera 3 to acquire a clear image.

[0067] For example, when the transmission 300 is in reverse gear, the electronic control unit 100 controls the drive circuit board 4 to turn on the first auxiliary light 5.

[0068] It should be noted that the first fill light 5 and the camera 3 can be turned on and off simultaneously. Alternatively, the first fill light 5 can be turned on only when the light is dim. For example, a light sensor can be installed at the through hole 20 of the bracket 2. The light sensor is electrically connected to the electronic control unit 100. When the light collected by the light sensor is less than a first threshold, the electronic control unit 100 controls the drive circuit board 4 to turn on the first fill light 5.

[0069] When the first auxiliary light 5 emits infrared light, it is prone to mixed with red light, resulting in a red glow phenomenon that makes red light visible to the human eye. To reduce or eliminate this red glow phenomenon, in some examples, the exterior rearview mirror also includes a second auxiliary light 6. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second supplementary light 6 is fixed in the receiving cavity 2a and opposite to the through hole 20. The second supplementary light 6 is used to emit visible light. The second supplementary light 6 is electrically connected to the drive circuit board 4, and the electronic control unit 100 controls the second supplementary light 6 and the first supplementary light 5 to be turned on simultaneously via the drive circuit board 4.

[0070] When the first supplementary light 5 and the second supplementary light 6 are turned on simultaneously, the red light mixed in with the visible light and infrared light will converge. The stronger beam of visible light will disperse the red light, making it difficult for the human eye to see the red light, thus solving the red glow phenomenon produced by the first supplementary light 5.

[0071] In some examples, such as Figure 4As shown, camera 3, first supplementary light 5, and second supplementary light 6 are fixed to drive circuit board 4. When assembling the exterior rearview mirror, camera 3, first supplementary light 5, and second supplementary light 6 can be first installed onto drive circuit board 4, and then drive circuit board 4 can be fixed into the receiving cavity 2a of bracket 2. This reduces the space occupied by camera 3, drive circuit board 4, first supplementary light 5, and second supplementary light 6. It also reduces the complexity of assembling the exterior rearview mirror.

[0072] Of course, in other examples, the camera 3, the first fill light 5, and the second fill light 6 may not be fixed to the drive circuit board 4, but may be directly fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 2a of the bracket 2. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0073] In this embodiment, the number of the first fill light 5 and the second fill light 6 is not specifically limited. The number of the first fill light 5 and the second fill light 6 can be one or more.

[0074] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first fill light 5 and the second fill light 6 are located on the same side of the camera 3. This allows the first fill light 5 and the second fill light 6 to be closer together, which is beneficial for the convergence of visible light and infrared light, and helps to solve the red glow phenomenon caused by the first fill light 5.

[0075] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 2 includes an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22. The upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are fixed to the outside of the vehicle. The rearview mirror body 1 is connected to the upper shell 21, and the through hole 20 is located in the lower shell 22. The internal space of the upper shell 21 is small, so fixing the camera 3, the drive circuit board 4, the first auxiliary light 5 and the second auxiliary light 6 inside the lower shell 22 will not occupy extra space in the bracket 2, thus making the bracket 2 smaller in size.

[0076] Furthermore, the upper shell 21 and the rearview mirror body 1 are rotatably connected, requiring the rearview mirror body 1 to have high structural strength. Therefore, placing the through hole 20 in the lower shell 22 will not affect the structural strength of the upper shell 21, thus making the upper shell 21 and the rearview mirror body 1 relatively stable.

[0077] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lower shell 22 has a through hole 20, and the camera 3, the first fill light 5 and the second fill light 6 are all located on the inner side of the inner wall of the through hole 20, thereby avoiding the inner wall of the through hole 20 from affecting the image acquisition by the camera 3 and the fill light effect of the first fill light 5.

[0078] For example, the lower housing 22 protrudes from the rear of the vehicle relative to the camera 3, the first auxiliary light 5, and the second auxiliary light 6. In rainy or snowy weather, if rain or snow falls directly on the surface of the camera 3, it can cause the image captured by the camera 3 to be partially obscured or unclear. The side wall of the lower housing 22 can protect against rain and snow, thereby helping the camera 3 to capture clear images in rainy or snowy weather, so that the driver can observe the images on both sides and behind the vehicle in rainy or snowy weather.

[0079] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lower housing 22 has a surrounding plate 221 that surrounds the through hole 20. The surrounding plate 221 extends in the direction toward the front of the vehicle and abuts against the drive circuit board 4. This prevents external foreign objects from entering the receiving cavity 2a of the bracket 2.

[0080] In other examples, the lower shell 22 may also have three through holes 20, with the camera 3, the first fill light 5, and the second fill light 6 respectively opposite to the three through holes 20.

[0081] In some examples, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the horizontal field of view of camera 3 is 12°-20°, and the vertical field of view is 65°-75°. Among these, Figure 7 and Figure 8 The area covered by the shadow is the image capture range of camera 3. This allows camera 3 to acquire a larger image capture range, which is beneficial for the driver to observe whether there are obstacles on the sides and behind the vehicle.

[0082] For example, the horizontal field of view of camera 3 is 14° and the vertical field of view is 70°.

[0083] Understandably, to improve the image quality of camera 3, the horizontal field of view of the first supplementary light 5 and the second supplementary light 6 is greater than or equal to the horizontal field of view of camera 3, and the vertical field of view of the first supplementary light 5 and the second supplementary light 6 is greater than or equal to the vertical field of view of camera 3. This ensures sufficient light within the camera's field of view, allowing camera 3 to acquire clearer images, facilitating the driver's observation of the situation on both sides and behind the vehicle.

[0084] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the image acquisition range of camera 3 covers the area from the rear of the front door to the rear of the roof, with a maximum length of 10 meters and a width of 2.5 meters, which can completely cover the visible area of ​​the exterior rearview mirror.

[0085] This disclosure also includes an embodiment of a vehicle, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the vehicle includes two of the aforementioned exterior rearview mirrors 400.

[0086] Among them, the cameras 3 inside the two exterior rearview mirrors 400 can be symmetrically distributed about the vehicle's axis of symmetry, and respectively capture images of the left and right sides of the vehicle.

[0087] The technical solution provided in this disclosure, since the exterior rearview mirror 400 has a camera 3, after the drive circuit board 4 activates the camera 3, the camera 3 can capture images of both sides of the vehicle and transmit the images to the vehicle's central control screen 200. In this way, the driver can observe the images of both sides of the vehicle through the central control screen 200, improving the field of vision and thus enhancing driving safety.

[0088] In some examples, the vehicle also includes a rear camera located at the rear of the vehicle to capture images directly behind it. The rear camera and camera 3 can simultaneously transmit the captured images to the vehicle's central control screen 200. The central control screen 200 displays the image captured by the rear camera in the center area, and images captured by the cameras 3 of the two exterior rearview mirrors 400 are displayed on either side of the center area.

[0089] In other examples, the images captured by camera 3 can also be displayed in other locations on the central control screen 200.

[0090] In some examples, the rear camera and camera 3 can operate simultaneously or not simultaneously; this disclosure does not specifically limit this. When the driver wants to observe the situation directly behind the vehicle, only the rear camera can be turned on. When the driver can check the situation to the side and rear of the vehicle, only camera 3 of the rearview mirror 400 can be turned on.

[0091] The exterior rearview mirror 400 in this embodiment can be installed in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), such as a range-extended or plug-in hybrid, and can also be used in a conventional fuel vehicle (Internal Combustion Engine, ICE).

[0092] This disclosure does not specifically limit the type of vehicle, such as cars, buses, trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), etc.

[0093] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this disclosure and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the principles of this disclosure should be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
