[0002] The auxiliary rearview mirror is a kind of automobile rearview mirror, which mainly reduces the blind area and improves driving safety, especially when reversing, changing lanes and parking, it provides a wider field of view. The auxiliary rearview mirror can cover the area that cannot be observed by the traditional rearview mirror (such as the right rear), reduce the risk of scratching or accidents caused by blind spots, and help the driver see the rear wheel position and side obstacles more clearly by expanding the field of view, especially for novice drivers parking in the garage or narrow parking spaces. A wider field of view can help drivers discover objects (such as pedestrians, vehicles or roadblocks) close to the vehicle, reducing the probability of scratching, especially for large vehicles, which have a larger blind area. The auxiliary mirror can make up for the lack of vision and improve the perception of novice drivers. However, the current auxiliary rearview mirror needs to be fixed on one corner of the main rearview mirror by pasting or other methods, which blocks the view of the main rearview mirror after installation. In addition, the pasting method is not firm enough, and it cannot adjust the installation position and is easy to fall off. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide an automobile rearview mirror with adjustable position, which is not only easy to install and firm after installation, but also easy to adjust the installation position according to the needs of the vehicle owner.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present application is as follows: an automobile rearview mirror with adjustable position, comprising a rearview mirror housing and a rearview convex mirror lens arranged on one side of the rearview mirror housing. The upper end of the rearview mirror housing is fixed with a bottom clamping plate through a rotary adjusting structure. A top clamping plate is arranged above the bottom clamping plate. The cross section of the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate is a horizontal U-shaped structure, and the opening of the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate faces the front end of the vehicle. The opening edges of the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate are elastically connected through rubber elastic ribs.

[0005] Further, the rotary adjusting structure comprises a disc shell and a positioning disc rotatingly arranged in the disc shell. The bottom of the disc shell is provided with a circular opening. The lower surface of the positioning disc is fixed with a fixed column with a diameter smaller than that of the positioning disc. The fixed column penetrates through the opening at the bottom of the disc shell and is fixedly connected with the top of the rearview mirror housing.

[0006] Further, the upper surface of the positioning disc is uniformly arranged with a plurality of semispherical positioning grooves, the top of the disc shell is provided with a plurality of spring cavities, each spring cavity is respectively elastically pushed by a positioning column which extrudes the upper surface of the positioning disc through a spring, the lower end of the positioning column is a semispherical structure which protrudes downward, and the lower end of the positioning column is located in the positioning groove, and the outer edge of the lower end of the column body of the positioning column is higher than the positioning groove.

[0007] Further, the outer edge width of the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate is greater than the width of the center thereof.

[0008] Further, the side convex mirror piece which is perpendicular to the rear convex mirror piece is arranged on the side of the rearview mirror shell which is close to the vehicle.

[0009] Further, the inner side of the U-shaped structure of the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate is fixed with a layer of anti-skid rubber soft pad.

[0010] Further, the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate are made of plastic and are fixedly connected with the rubber elastic rib through insert injection molding or vulcanization process.

[0011] Through the above arrangement, when the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate are clamped on the outer edge of the original vehicle rearview mirror, the rubber elastic rib is in a tension state, the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate are pulled towards the front of the vehicle, the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate form an inverted hook structure which is tightly clamped on the outer edge of the original vehicle rearview mirror, and the rubber elastic rib in the tension state greatly improves the tension force during fixing, so that the inverted hook structure is fixed more firmly, and when the position is changed, the bottom clamping plate and the top clamping plate can be taken off and fixed again by pulling the rubber elastic rib, the position-adjustable automobile rearview mirror of the application not only facilitates installation, is more firmly fixed after installation and is not easy to fall off, but also facilitates adjustment of the installation position according to the needs of the vehicle owner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0012] The application will be further described in combination with the drawings.

[0013] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional structure diagram of the application; Figure 2 It is a sectional structure diagram of the rotating adjustment structure of the application; Figure 3 It is a real object reference diagram of the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] As Figures 1-2As shown, an adjustable car rearview mirror includes a rearview mirror housing 1 and a rearview convex reflective lens 2 disposed on one side of the rearview mirror housing 1. A bottom retaining plate 3 is fixed to the upper end of the rearview mirror housing 1 by a rotation adjustment structure. A top retaining plate 4 is disposed above the bottom retaining plate 3. The bottom retaining plate 3 and the top retaining plate 4 have a horizontal U-shaped cross-section, and the openings of the bottom retaining plate 3 and the top retaining plate 4 face the front of the vehicle. The edges of the openings of the bottom retaining plate 3 and the top retaining plate 4 are elastically connected by rubber elastic ribs 5. The bottom retaining plate 3 and the top retaining plate 4 are made of plastic and are fixedly connected to the rubber elastic ribs 5 by insert injection molding or vulcanization process.

[0015] Specifically: The rotating adjustment structure includes a disc housing 6 and a positioning disc 7 rotatably disposed inside the disc housing 6. The bottom of the disc housing 6 is provided with a circular opening. A fixing post 8 with a diameter smaller than the positioning disc 7 is fixed on the lower surface of the positioning disc 7. The fixing post 8 passes through the opening at the bottom of the disc housing 6 and is fixedly connected to the top of the rearview mirror housing 1.

[0016] To facilitate positioning and rotation of the positioning disc 7, multiple hemispherical positioning grooves 9 are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the upper surface of the positioning disc 7. Multiple spring cavities 10 are provided on the top of the disc shell 6. Each spring cavity 10 contains a positioning post 12 that is elastically pushed against the upper surface of the positioning disc 7 by a spring 11. The lower end of the positioning post 12 is a downwardly protruding hemispherical structure, and the lower end of the positioning post 12 is located in the positioning groove 9. The outer edge of the lower end of the positioning post 12 is higher than the positioning groove 9. This forms an elastic positioning structure. When the rearview mirror housing 1 is rotated, the rearview mirror housing 1, together with the fixing post 8 and the positioning disc 7, rotate together. The spherical surface of the positioning groove 9 of the positioning disc 7 pushes the hemispherical structure at the lower end of the positioning post 12, causing the positioning post 12 to compress the spring 11 upward until the positioning post 12 disengages from the previous positioning groove 9. When rotating to the next location, the positioning post 12 is repositioned into the next positioning groove 9 under the action of the spring 11. This facilitates repositioning after the positioning disc 7 rotates.

[0017] In order to further increase the friction when the bottom clamping plate 3 and the top clamping plate 4 are fixed, the outer edge width of the bottom clamping plate 3 and the top clamping plate 4 is greater than the center width, that is, the upper and lower edges of the bottom clamping plate 3 and the top clamping plate 4 are wider, which can increase the strength of clamping and fixing to the edge of the main rearview mirror.

[0018] To facilitate observation of the vehicle's lower parts, such as around the front wheels, the rearview mirror housing 1 is also equipped with a side convex reflector 13 that is perpendicular to the rearview convex reflector 2 on the side closest to the vehicle, making it easier for the driver to see the situation around the front wheels.

[0019] The inner sides of the U-shaped structure of the bottom clamping plate 3 and the top clamping plate 4 are fixed with a layer of anti-slip rubber pads. This not only protects the edge of the original vehicle's main rearview mirror, but also increases the friction and improves the firmness of the clamping.

[0020] Working principle of this invention: In use, the bottom clip 3 and the top clip 4 are respectively clipped onto the outer edge of the original vehicle owner's rearview mirror, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the rubber elastic rib 5 is in a taut state at this time, causing the bottom clamping plate 3 and the top clamping plate 4 to be pulled towards the front of the vehicle, so that the bottom clamping plate 3 and the top clamping plate 4 form a hook structure that is tightly fastened to the outer edge of the original rearview mirror. The taut rubber elastic rib 5 greatly increases the tension force when fixing, making the hook structure more secure. When changing the position, simply pull the rubber elastic rib 5 to remove the bottom clamping plate 3 and the top clamping plate 4 and fix them again.

[0021] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
