The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used in this specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 A water droplet evaporation rearview mirror provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a rearview mirror body 2, on which a reflector 21 is provided, and the rearview mirror body 2 includes a mounting frame 3 connected to the outer wall of a car 1, and a processing device 4 is provided on the mounting frame 3; wherein the processing device 4 includes a telescopic machine 41, a gas chamber 42, an extrusion plate 43 and a pressurizing device 44, and the telescopic machine 41 includes a telescopic machine body 411 and a telescopic rod 412, and the telescopic machine 41 is installed at one end of the mounting frame 3 close to the car 1; in this embodiment, the telescopic machine body 411 is a rectangular structure, and a through hole for placing the telescopic machine body 411 is opened in the middle of the mounting frame 3, and the telescopic machine 41 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 3 through the through hole. , and the telescopic rod 412 is arranged toward the end of the telescopic machine 41 away from the car 1; a gas bin 42 is provided at one end of the telescopic rod 412 of the telescopic machine 41, wherein the gas bin 42 is a cylindrical structure, and the interior of the gas bin 42 is a hollow cavity with a cavity provided therein, and an extrusion plate 43 is provided in the gas bin 42, and the extrusion plate 43 is a cylindrical structure, and the side of the extrusion plate 43 relies on but does not squeeze the interior of the gas bin 42, thereby dividing the cavity into an upper cavity 421 and a lower cavity 422, and the center of one side of the extrusion plate 43 is connected to the telescopic rod 412, and can move up and down along the inner wall of the gas bin 42 under the push of the telescopic machine 41. It can be understood that the telescopic rod 412 is arranged through the lower end of the gas bin 42. A pressurizing device 44 is provided at the other end of the gas tank 42. A connecting hole 445 is provided at the connection between the pressurizing device 44 and the gas tank 42. The gas tank 42 is connected to the pressurizing device 44 through the connecting hole 445. A first spring 443 and a stopper 444 are also provided in the pressurizing device 44. The first spring 443 and the stopper 444 are used to one-way block the connecting hole 445. One end of the pressurizing device 44 is also connected to the reflector 21.

[0032] When working, the telescopic machine 41 works, the telescopic rod 412 pushes the extrusion plate 43 to move upward first, doing work on the gas in the upper cavity 421, compressing the gas in the upper cavity 421, causing the gas temperature to rise. When the pressure in the upper cavity 421 reaches a level that can overcome the elastic force of the first spring 443, the stopper 444 is pushed open, and the gas enters the pressurizing device 44. After the gas enters, the stopper 444 loses its push and, under the push of the spring, blocks the connecting hole 445 again, completing the air intake of the pressurizing device 44. When the telescopic rod 412 pulls the extrusion plate 43 to move downward, due to the presence of a spring in the upper cavity 421 of the air pressure chamber, The first one-way valve allows gas to enter from the outside, thereby filling the upper cavity 421, and repeating this process, continuously pressing the external air into the pressurizing device 44. As the amount of gas increases, the distance between gas molecules decreases, and the friction between molecules increases, thereby increasing the temperature of the gas in the pressure chamber 442, thereby heating the reflector 21 and accelerating the evaporation of water droplets. As the gas is continuously pressed into the pressurizing device 44, when the pressure inside the pressurizing device 44 reaches a certain value, the gas is depressurized through the pressure relief valve to ensure that the internal pressure remains unchanged at a specific value, thereby maintaining the temperature and pressure inside the pressurizing device 44.

[0033] See Figure 3 Specifically, the pressurizing device 44 includes a conical bin 441 and a pressure bin 442 that are interconnected. The block 444 and the first spring 443 are provided inside the conical bin 441. The pressure bin 442 is connected to the reflector 21. A pressure relief valve is provided on the pressure bin 442. In this embodiment, in order to maximize the utilization of the internal temperature of the pressurizing device 44, a thermometer and a pressure gauge can be installed in the pressure bin 442, and the working state of the telescopic machine 41 can be controlled by the values ​​of the temperature and pressure gauges.

[0034] Furthermore, a water pipe 45 is arranged on the inner wall of the reflector 21. By setting up the water pipe 45 and adding water into the water pipe 45, the temperature in the pressure chamber 442 is absorbed and stored by utilizing the large specific heat capacity of water, so as to achieve a long-term heating effect of the reflector 21.

[0035] See Figures 3 and 4 As a further improvement of this embodiment, specifically, the gas bin 42 is provided with an airflow device 5 connected to the gas bin 42 on the side close to the telescopic mechanism 41, and the airflow device 5 includes a pipe 51, one end of the pipe 51 is connected to the lower cavity 422 of the gas bin 42, and the other end is fixed to the lower end of the reflector 21, and the pipe 51 is connected to a first zigzag pipe 52 and a second zigzag pipe 53 at the end away from the gas bin 42, and the first zigzag pipe 52 and the second zigzag pipe 53 are both provided with a blowing nozzle 54 for blowing air toward the reflector 21 at the end away from the pipe 51.

[0036] During operation, when the telescopic rod 412 pulls the extrusion plate 43 to move downward, the gas in the lower cavity 422 is discharged through the pipe 51, and finally, under the action of the blowing nozzle 54, the gas is sprayed onto the reflector 21, thereby accelerating the falling of water droplets and also accelerating the evaporation rate of water droplets. In this embodiment, since the blowing process is an intermittent process, it cooperates with the heating of the hot air at the rear of the reflector 21, so that the water droplets on the reflector 21 have a better volatilization effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the telescopic rod 412 pushes the extrusion plate 43 to move upward, since a first one-way valve is provided in the lower cavity 422, gas can enter the lower cavity 422 from the outside. However, since the airflow device 5 is also connected to the lower cavity 422, the gas will reversely enter the lower cavity 422 from the airflow device 5. Because the air outlet of the blowing nozzle 54 is small, under the action of the negative pressure of the lower cavity 422, the first and second zigzag tubes 52, 53 will shrink and deform, making it impossible to blow air towards the reflector 21. For this reason, a second one-way valve is provided on the pipe 51 of the airflow device 5. The second one-way valve only allows the gas in the upper cavity 421 to be discharged from the pipe 51, and does not allow external gas to enter the lower cavity 422 from the pipe 51, thereby avoiding deformation of the first and second zigzag tubes 52, 53.

[0038] Furthermore, a second spring 55 is connected between the first zigzag tube 52 and the second zigzag tube 53. By providing the second spring 55, the left and right shaking frequency of the first zigzag tube 52 and the second zigzag tube 53 during the blowing process is reduced, and at the same time, the tubes are pulled and fixed to each other.

[0039] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, further, a vibration device 6 is provided on the extrusion plate 43;

[0040] Specifically, a vibration device 6 is provided at the end of the extrusion plate 43 away from the telescopic rod 412. The vibration device 6 includes a third spring 61 and a conical block 62. The third spring 61 is arranged perpendicular to the gas chamber 42. One end of the third spring 61 is fixedly connected to the extrusion plate 43, and the other end is connected to the conical block 62. The end of the conical block 62 away from the third spring 61 abuts against the inner wall of the gas chamber 61. The inner wall of the gas chamber 42 is provided with a plurality of grooves 423 that match the conical block 62 at intervals along the axial direction.

[0041] Furthermore, the conical block 62 is set in a conical shape near one end of the groove 423, and the conical end face of the conical block 62 has a rounded corner. By setting one end of the conical block 62 with a rounded corner, it can slide more smoothly along the side wall of the gas chamber 42, thereby reducing the wear of the conical block 62 on the inner wall of the gas chamber 42.

[0042] During operation, as the extrusion plate 43 moves, the third spring 61 and the conical block 62 will follow the movement. The conical block 62 will extend under the elastic force of the third spring 61, and then get stuck in the groove 423 as the conical block 62 moves along with the extrusion plate 43. Therefore, the conical block 62 will hit the inner wall of the gas bin 42 during its movement, causing the gas bin 42 to vibrate. The vibration will drive the reflector 21 to vibrate, which will accelerate the falling of water droplets.

[0043] In addition, this embodiment also provides a new energy pickup truck, including any of the water droplet evaporation rearview mirrors described above.

[0044] In summary, the water droplet volatilization rearview mirror in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention installs a processing device on the mounting frame of the rearview mirror body, and utilizes the cooperation of the telescopic machine and the gas chamber to compress the air into the pressurizing device, thereby increasing the gas temperature, heating the reflector, accelerating the evaporation rate of the water droplets on the reflector, and at the same time, with the cooperation of the airflow device, blowing the water droplets on the reflector off, further improving the volatilization effect of the water droplets; in addition, by installing a vibration device on the extrusion plate, the falling of the water droplets is accelerated.

[0045] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
