Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle component technology, and in particular discloses a concealed electric rearview mirror and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional vehicle rearview mirrors are typically fixed to the exterior of the vehicle body and remain deployed throughout the journey. This design presents several problems: First, exposed rearview mirrors are susceptible to damage from impacts when the vehicle is parked, increasing maintenance costs. Second, exposed rearview mirrors increase the vehicle's frontal area, affecting aerodynamic performance, especially at high speeds, generating significant wind noise and drag, which negatively impacts fuel economy. Furthermore, exposed rearview mirrors can obstruct traffic when navigating narrow spaces. In the application of rearview mirrors in trains and large buses, due to the large mass of the mirror assembly, they are usually fixed and non-adjustable. Currently, there is a lack of mature, readily applicable electric rearview mirrors for rail transit and large buses.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of concealed electric rearview mirror and vehicle to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a concealed electric rearview mirror and vehicle, which aims to solve the problems of existing rearview mirrors being unable to be completely concealed, having complex structures, and high wind resistance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a concealed electric rearview mirror, which includes a mounting plate, a folding mechanism, a rearview mirror body, and a drive mechanism. The mounting plate is disposed on the vehicle; the folding mechanism is disposed on the mounting plate; the rearview mirror body is disposed on the folding mechanism; the drive mechanism is disposed on the mounting plate, and the output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the folding mechanism. The drive mechanism can drive the folding mechanism to extend or fold to open or close the rearview mirror body.
[0006] Optionally, the folding mechanism includes a first folding component and a second folding component. The first folding component is hinged between the rearview mirror body and the output end of the drive mechanism. The second folding component is vertically spaced from the first folding component and is hinged between the rearview mirror body and the mounting plate. The drive mechanism can drive the second folding component to extend or fold to open or close the rearview mirror body, and the rearview mirror body drives the second folding component to extend or fold.
[0007] Optionally, the first folding assembly includes a first link, a second link, and a third link. The first end of the first link is hinged to the rearview mirror body, and the second end is hinged to the first end of the third link. The second link and the third link are cross-hinged, and the first end of the second link is hinged to the rearview mirror body and spaced apart from the first end of the first link. The second end of the second link is connected to the output end of the drive mechanism. The second end of the third link is hinged to the mounting plate.
[0008] Optionally, the driving mechanism includes a slide rod, a slide block, and a driving member. The slide rod is disposed on the mounting plate along the length direction of the mounting plate, and one end of the slide rod is hinged to the third connecting rod and inclined away from the mounting plate. The slide block is slidably disposed on the slide rod, and the slide block is hinged to the output end of the driving member and the second connecting rod respectively. The driving member is disposed on the end of the slide rod away from the third connecting rod along the length direction of the mounting plate, and the end of the driving member away from the slide block is hinged to the mounting plate. The driving member can drive the slide block to move the second connecting rod along the slide rod to realize the extension and folding of the first folding assembly.
[0009] Optionally, the second folding assembly includes a fourth link and a fifth link, wherein the first end of the fourth link is hinged to the mounting plate, and the second end is hinged to the first end of the fifth link; the second end of the fifth link is hinged to the rearview mirror body.
[0010] Optionally, the rearview mirror body includes a housing and a lens, with a hollow portion formed on the housing; the lens is embedded in the hollow portion to provide the driver with a rear view.
[0011] Optionally, the housing has two mounting rods spaced apart in the vertical direction on the side facing the mounting plate. The mounting rods are arranged along the length of the rearview mirror body. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are hinged to one of the mounting rods, and the fifth connecting rod is hinged to the other mounting rod.
[0012] In addition, the present invention also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a hidden electric rearview mirror as described above, wherein the vehicle body is provided with the mounting plate and the mounting plate is provided with an observation window corresponding to the main body of the rearview mirror.
[0013] Optionally, the vehicle body has an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inside to the outside, and the mounting plate is provided on the inner wall; the outer wall has a through hole that matches the outline of the rearview mirror body, and the rearview mirror body can be opened or closed under the drive of the drive mechanism to expose or close the through hole.
[0014] Optionally, the mounting plate has a maintenance window that communicates with the interior of the vehicle body; the concealed electric rearview mirror also includes a maintenance cover plate, which is detachably installed at the maintenance window.
[0015] This invention's technical solution incorporates a drive mechanism and a folding mechanism. The drive mechanism extends or folds the folding mechanism, thereby opening or closing the rearview mirror body. When the vehicle is in motion, the drive mechanism extends the folding mechanism, keeping the rearview mirror body open to provide the driver with rearward visibility. When the vehicle is parked or when wind resistance needs to be reduced, the drive mechanism folds the folding mechanism, moving the rearview mirror body to the closed state, concealing it inside the vehicle body or flush with its outer surface. This effectively avoids the risk of damage to the rearview mirror from collisions while parked, while also reducing the vehicle's frontal area, lowering wind resistance and noise, and improving the vehicle's aerodynamic performance and fuel economy. Furthermore, the folding mechanism of this invention has a compact structure, smooth movement, and excellent concealment effect. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This invention proposes a concealed electric rearview mirror, which aims to solve the problem of low operating efficiency of existing rail milling devices.
[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a concealed electric rearview mirror, which includes a mounting plate 1, a folding mechanism 2, a rearview mirror body 3, and a drive mechanism 4. The mounting plate 1 is mounted on the vehicle; the folding mechanism 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 1; the rearview mirror body 3 is mounted on the folding mechanism 2; and the drive mechanism 4 is mounted on the mounting plate 1, with its output end connected to the folding mechanism 2. The drive mechanism 4 can drive the folding mechanism 2 to extend or fold, thereby opening or closing the rearview mirror body 3. In this embodiment, by setting up a drive mechanism 4 and a folding mechanism 2, the drive mechanism 4 drives the folding mechanism 2 to extend or fold, thereby opening or closing the rearview mirror body 3. When the vehicle is in motion, the drive mechanism 4 drives the folding mechanism 2 to extend, and the rearview mirror body 3 is in the open state, providing the driver with a rear view. When the vehicle is parked or when wind resistance needs to be reduced, the drive mechanism 4 drives the folding mechanism 2 to fold, moving the rearview mirror body 3 to the closed state, hiding it inside the vehicle body or flush with the outer surface of the vehicle body. This effectively avoids the risk of the rearview mirror being damaged by a collision when parked, while also reducing the vehicle's frontal area, reducing wind resistance and wind noise, and improving the vehicle's aerodynamic performance and fuel economy. In addition, the folding mechanism 2 of this invention has a compact structure, smooth movement, and good concealment effect.
[0027] The folding mechanism 2 includes a first folding component 2.1 and a second folding component 2.2. The first folding component 2.1 is hinged between the rearview mirror body 3 and the output end of the drive mechanism 4. The second folding component 2.2 is vertically spaced from the first folding component 2.1 and is hinged between the rearview mirror body 3 and the mounting plate 1. The drive mechanism 4 can drive the second folding component 2.2 to extend or fold, thereby opening or closing the rearview mirror body 3, and vice versa. The drive mechanism 4 can also drive the first folding component 2.1 to extend or fold, and the movement of the first folding component 2.1 causes the rearview mirror body 3 to move, which in turn causes the second folding component 2.2 to extend or fold. By setting two spaced folding components, the stability of the rearview mirror body 3 during movement can be ensured, preventing swaying.
[0028] Specifically, the first folding assembly 2.1 includes a first connecting rod 2.1.1, a second connecting rod 2.1.2, and a third connecting rod 2.1.3. The first end of the first connecting rod 2.1.1 is hinged to the rearview mirror body 3, and the second end is hinged to the first end of the third connecting rod 2.1.3. The second connecting rod 2.1.2 and the third connecting rod 2.1.3 are cross-hinged, and the first end of the second connecting rod 2.1.2 is hinged to the rearview mirror body 3 and spaced apart from the first end of the first connecting rod 2.1.1. The second end of the second connecting rod 2.1.2 is connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 4. The second end of the third connecting rod 2.1.3 is hinged to the mounting plate 1. This cross-hinged connecting rod structure can effectively convert the linear motion of the drive mechanism 4 into the composite motion of the rearview mirror body 3, achieving smooth extension and folding. It can also cleverly utilize the narrow space between the inner wall 5 and the outer wall 6 of the vehicle, avoiding the large transmission mechanism occupying lateral space.
[0029] Further, the driving mechanism 4 includes a slide rod 4.1, a slide block 4.2, and a driving member 4.3. The slide rod 4.1 is disposed on the mounting plate 1 along the length direction of the mounting plate 1, and one end of the slide rod 4.1 is hinged to the third connecting rod 2.1.3 and inclined away from the mounting plate 1. The slide block 4.2 is slidably disposed on the slide rod 4.1, and the slide block 4.2 is hinged to the output end of the driving member 4.3 and the second connecting rod 2.1.2 respectively. The driving member 4.3 is disposed on the end of the slide rod 4.1 away from the third connecting rod 2.1.3 along the length direction of the mounting plate 1, and the end of the driving member 4.3 away from the slide block 4.2 is hinged to the mounting plate 1. The driving member 4.3 can drive the slide block 4.2 to move the second connecting rod 2.1.2 along the slide rod 4.1 to realize the extension and folding of the first folding assembly 2.1. The driving element 4.3 can be a linear actuator such as an electric push rod, a linear motor, or a hydraulic cylinder. When the driving element 4.3 is working, its output end extends or retracts, pushing the slide 4.2 to move along the slide rod 4.1. The slide 4.2 drives the second connecting rod 2.1.2 to move, thereby driving the entire first folding assembly 2.1 to move, realizing extension and folding. In this embodiment, the slide 4.2 includes a sliding sleeve 4.2.2 and a slider 4.2.1. The sliding sleeve 4.2.2 is slidably sleeved on the slide rod 4.1, and the sliding sleeve 4.2.2 is hinged to the third connecting rod 2.1.3 through the slider 4.2.1 to realize effective transmission between the driving mechanism 4 and the first folding assembly 2.1.
[0030] Furthermore, the second folding assembly 2.2 includes a fourth link 2.2.1 and a fifth link 2.2.2. The first end of the fourth link 2.2.1 is hinged to the mounting plate 1, and the second end is hinged to the first end of the fifth link 2.2.2. The second end of the fifth link 2.2.2 is hinged to the rearview mirror body 3. As a driven assembly, the second folding assembly 2.2, together with the first folding assembly 2.1, defines the movement trajectory of the rearview mirror body 3, improving the stability of movement and structural strength.
[0031] In this embodiment, each connecting rod is hinged to the others by rivets 2.3, and a wear-preventing spacer 9 is provided at the hinge point; the slide rod 4.1 is provided with an end mounting seat 4.4, and the third connecting rod 2.1.3 is hinged to the end mounting seat 4.4 by a pin 8; the first mounting seat 4.5 and the second mounting seat 4.6 are both provided with mounting holes for the slide rod 4.1, and the mounting hole on the first mounting seat 4.5 is set higher than the mounting hole on the second mounting seat 4.6 to achieve the inclined setting of the slide rod 4.1, and the two ends of the slide rod 4.1 are respectively set in the mounting holes of the first mounting seat 4.5 and the second mounting seat 4.6, and are respectively locked and fixed by end caps 4.7; the fourth connecting rod 2.2.1 is hinged to the mounting plate 1 by a connecting rod mounting seat 10; the driving member 4.3 is hinged to the mounting plate 1 by a driving mounting seat 4.8.
[0032] See Figure 3 The rearview mirror body 3 includes a housing 3.1 and a lens 3.2. A hollow portion is formed on the housing 3.1; the lens 3.2 is embedded in the hollow portion to provide the driver with a rear view. Two vertically spaced mounting rods 3.3 are provided on the side of the housing 3.1 facing the mounting plate 1. The mounting rods 3.3 are arranged along the length of the rearview mirror body 3. The first connecting rod 2.1.1 and the second connecting rod 2.1.2 are hinged to one of the mounting rods 3.3, and the fifth connecting rod 2.2.2 is hinged to the other mounting rod 3.3. The first connecting rod 2.1.1 and the second connecting rod 2.1.2 are hinged to the upper mounting rod 3.3, and the fifth connecting rod 2.2.2 is hinged to the lower mounting rod 3.3. This split-type hinge design makes force transmission more direct and the structure more compact.
[0033] See Figures 4 to 6 This embodiment provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a concealed electric rearview mirror as described above. The vehicle body is provided with a mounting plate 1, and the mounting plate 1 has an observation window 1.2 corresponding to the rearview mirror body 3. The observation window 1.2 allows the driver to observe the rearview mirror from inside the vehicle. The observation window 1.2 is a transparent glass plate embedded in the mounting plate 1, which not only allows light to pass through but also blocks wind and sand from blowing into the driver's compartment.
[0034] In this embodiment, the vehicle body is provided with an inner wall 5 and an outer wall 6 spaced apart from the inside to the outside. The mounting plate 1 is provided on the inner wall 5. The outer wall 6 is provided with a through hole 6.1 that matches the contour of the rearview mirror body 3. The rearview mirror body 3 can be opened or closed under the drive of the drive mechanism 4 to expose or close the through hole 6.1. When the drive mechanism 4 drives the rearview mirror body 3 to open, the rearview mirror body 3 extends out of the through hole 6.1 to the outside of the vehicle body. When the drive mechanism 4 drives the rearview mirror body 3 to close, the rearview mirror body 3 retracts into the vehicle body, and its outer surface is flush with the outer surface of the outer wall 6, or the through hole 6.1 is completely closed, thereby achieving complete concealment.
[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 1 has a maintenance window 1.1 communicating with the interior of the vehicle body; the concealed electric rearview mirror also includes a maintenance cover 7, which is detachably mounted on the maintenance window 1.1. The maintenance cover 7 is detachably connected to the maintenance window 1.1 by clips or screws. When it is necessary to inspect the internal mechanism, simply remove the maintenance cover 7 to operate the drive mechanism 4 and the folding mechanism 2 through the maintenance window 1.1, without disassembling the entire rearview mirror or a large area of the vehicle body structure, making maintenance very convenient.
[0036] The specific work process is as follows: When the rearview mirror needs to be opened, the drive unit 4.3 is activated, its output end extends, and pushes the slide 4.2 along the slide rod 4.1 in a direction away from the drive unit 4.3. The slide 4.2 drives the second link 2.1.2 to move, and the cross hinge point of the second link 2.1.2 and the third link 2.1.3 rotates. At the same time, the first link 2.1.1 and the third link 2.1.3 also move, jointly pushing the rearview mirror body 3 to move away from the mounting plate 1 and flip outward. Simultaneously, the rearview mirror body 3 drives the fifth link 2.2.2 and the fourth link 2.2.1 to move. Finally, the rearview mirror body 3 is fully extended to the working position.
[0037] When the rearview mirror needs to be closed, the drive unit 4.3 moves in the opposite direction, its output end retracts, and pulls the slide block 4.2 along the slide rod 4.1 towards the drive unit 4.3. The slide block 4.2 drives the second link 2.1.2 to move in the opposite direction. The above links move in the opposite direction, pulling the rearview mirror body 3 back and gradually bringing it closer to the mounting plate 1. Finally, the rearview mirror body 3 is completely retracted into the vehicle body.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present invention using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
