A movable card plate 510 is provided on the motor connecting frame 500, and the movable card plate 510 rotates horizontally with the rearview mirror body 400, that is, when the control motor 700 controls the rearview mirror body 400, the motor connecting frame 500 and the movable card plate 510 also move accordingly.

[0036] Further, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8When the rearview mirror body 400 rotates horizontally, the limit clamping plate 210 of the connecting column 110 is used to support the movable clamping plate 510 of the motor connecting frame 500 to limit the rotation range of the rearview mirror body 400. In actual operation, when the car is driving, refer to Figure 7 , the rearview mirror body 400 of the automobile rearview mirror of the utility model extends outward from the vehicle. Figure 8 The rearview mirror body 400 of the automobile rearview mirror of the present invention is retracted toward the interior of the vehicle. The range of the angle at which the rearview mirror body 400 can rotate in the above process is physically limited by the limiting clamping plate 210 on the connecting column 110 .

[0037] Some embodiments, see Figure 1 The front side of the rearview mirror body 400 is used as the mirror surface 420 position.

[0038] Some embodiments, see Figure 5 The limit plate 210 includes a first limit plate 211 and a second limit plate 212. When the rearview mirror body 400 rotates horizontally, the movable plate 510 moves within the range limited by the first limit plate 211 and the second limit plate 212. In this way, the first limit plate 211 and the second limit plate 212 are equivalent to the two end positions of the movable range of the movable plate 510, which is equivalent to the limit angle of the forward and backward rotation of the rearview mirror body 400.

[0039] Some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 A lens water blocking ring 600 is provided between the motor connecting frame 500 and the rearview mirror through hole 410 to prevent external water droplets from penetrating into the rearview mirror body 400 through the rearview mirror through hole 410, especially during the rotation process of the rearview mirror body 400.

[0040] In this embodiment, optionally, the lens water blocking ring 600 includes an outer water blocking ring connecting frame 610 and an inner water blocking rubber ring 620, wherein the water blocking ring connecting frame 610 serves as an outer supporting structure of the lens water blocking ring 600, the lens water blocking ring 600 is fixedly installed by the water blocking ring connecting frame 610, and the water blocking rubber ring 620 is responsible for the task of water blocking.

[0041] In this embodiment, optionally, a water blocking ring plug-in protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the water blocking ring connecting frame 610, and a water blocking ring plug-in recess is provided on the outer edge of the water blocking rubber ring 620. The water blocking rubber ring 620 is plug-connected with the water blocking ring plug-in protrusion of the water blocking ring connecting frame 610 through the water blocking ring plug-in recess, thereby achieving fixed installation of the water blocking rubber ring 620.

[0042] In this embodiment, optionally, the water blocking ring connecting frame 610 of the lens water blocking ring 600 can be made of hard materials to ensure structural strength, while the inner water blocking rubber ring 620 can be made of materials with better water blocking effect. For details, reference can be made to other water blocking rings, waterproof rings, and sealing ring structures in the prior art.
