[0038] The rearview mirror assembly mold slot includes a pre-installed box 16 and a workbench 17, and the pre-installed box 16 is arranged on the table of the workbench 17;

[0039] The upper cross bar 1 is arranged at the top of the rearview mirror mounting device, and a left large spring 3 and a right large spring 7 are hung on the upper cross bar 1. The lower ends of the left large spring 3 and the right large spring 7 are hung on the middle cross bar 2 respectively. The two ends of the middle cross bar 2 are connected to the middle cross bar sliding grooves 9 arranged at both ends. The middle cross bar 2 can slide up and down in the middle cross bar sliding groove 9. A third steel cable 30 is connected to the lower end of the middle cross bar sliding groove 9. The other end of the third steel cable is connected to the tail end of the sliding sleeve 25 through a fourth pulley.

[0040] Two limiting pulleys 8 are arranged on the lower end surface of the middle section of the middle crossbar 2, and the two limiting pulleys 8 are pressed on the longitudinal connecting rod 21 of the pull-down handle 5 to ensure that the pull-down handle 5 will not shift when pressed down;

[0041] A pressing arm 12 is provided on the pressing arm connecting handle 10, and a pressing block 14 is connected to the lower end of the pressing arm 12;

[0042] The tail end of the pull-down handle 5 of the pressing mechanism is rotatably fixed to the middle section of the handle fixing rod 19; the two ends of the handle fixing rod 19 are arranged in the middle crossbar slide groove 9, which can drive the middle crossbar slide groove 9 to slide up and down;

[0043] The counterweight mechanism includes a first steel cable 22, a first pulley 23, a second pulley 24, a sliding sleeve 25, a second steel cable 27, a counterweight block 26, a third steel cable 30, a third pulley 28 and a fourth pulley 31;

[0044] The three steel cable groups, four pulley groups, counterweight blocks and springs form an upper and lower linkage of the pressing mechanism;

[0045] The front end of the first steel cable 22 is connected to the middle crossbar slot 9, then passes through the first pulley 23, the second pulley 24, and finally connected to the counterweight 26;

[0046] The front end of the second steel cable 27 is connected to the front end of the sliding sleeve 25, and the other end is connected to the counterweight 26 via a pulley 28;

[0047] The upper end of the third steel cable 30 is connected to the middle crossbar slide groove 9, and is connected to the rear end of the sliding sleeve 25 after passing through the fourth pulley 31;

[0048] On the two longitudinal connecting rods 21 of the pull-down handle 5, there are respectively provided with respective pressure arm connecting handles 10 extending toward the middle, and the rear end of the longitudinal connecting rod 21 is connected with a left small spring 4 and a right small spring 6, and the upper ends of the left small spring 4 and the right small spring 6 are hung on the rear support arm 32 of the middle cross bar set at the rear end of the middle cross bar 2; when the pull-down handle 5 is pulled downward, the left small spring 4 and the right small spring 6 will drive the middle cross bar 2 to move downward in the middle cross bar limiting grooves 9 set at both ends. When the middle cross bar 2 moves downward, the pressure applied to the pull-down handle 5 is greater than the upward pulling force of the spring, so the counterweight block 26 arranged at the lower end is pulled downward under the gravity, and the downward pulling force drives the second steel cable 27 to pull downward, and after the third pulley turns, the sliding sleeve 25 is pulled forward. At this time, the front cross bar 13 arranged on the sliding sleeve 25 moves forward, so that the longitudinal pressing block 29 arranged on the front cross bar 13 is pressed on the rear shell of the rearview mirror 15, so that the pre-installed rearview mirror 15 is pressed in;

[0049] The present technology is a pulley spring linkage design. A rearview mirror pre-installation box 16 is set on a workbench 17. First, the rearview mirror 15 is placed in the pre-installation box 16. Then, the rearview mirror cover is placed on the rearview mirror body to determine the snap-in position. Then, when the pull-down handle 5 is pulled down, the left and right large springs 3 and 7 are stretched downward. The middle cross bar 2 is moved downward together by the small springs 4 and 6. At the same time, the steel cable drives the rear cross bar 13 to move forward. The longitudinal pressing block 29 contacts the rear side of the rearview mirror. When the pressing block 14 contacts the rearview mirror cover, Since the limiting cross bar 11 is fixed, a gap of 0.5 mm is reserved between the lower end surface of the longitudinal connecting rod 21 and the upper end surface of the limiting cross bar 11. After determining that the pressing position of the rearview mirror shell is correct, when the pull-down handle 5 is pressed again, the pull-down handle 5 completes the remaining 0.5 mm movement downward, and the rear cover of the rearview mirror will be pressed into the rearview mirror body. After the pre-installation of the rearview mirror is completed, the pull-down handle 5 is released, and the middle cross bar 2 is pulled back to its original position under the action of the elastic force of the left and right large springs 3 and 7, returning to the initial position.

[0050] The utility model drives the pressing arm 12 and the pressing block 14 to move downward and press on the rear cover of the rearview mirror 15 by pulling down the handle 5. After confirming that the pressing position is correct, the reserved 0.5mm gap is pressed downward to press the rear cover of the rearview mirror into place. After the reserved 0.5mm gap is pressed down, it is impossible to continue to press down because the lower end of the longitudinal connecting rod 21 is blocked by the limit cross bar 11, so the rear cover of the rearview mirror 15 will not be damaged due to improper force. Due to the effect of the left and right large springs 3 and 7, after completing the pre-installation of the rear cover of the rearview mirror, release the pull-down handle 5, and the pressing mechanism will return to its original position to prepare for the next pre-installation work.

[0051] The utility model uses the longitudinal pressing block 29 of the pressing mechanism to replace the pressing operation of the index finger and the thumb, so there is no need for secondary operation, and the rapid assembly operation can be well achieved. The mechanism body is designed to be made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which is simple to operate, light to press, and easy to master the use standard.

[0052] Furthermore, the tension of the left and right large and small springs involved in the utility model is greater than the falling gravity of the counterweight block. The design calculation is conventional knowledge known to ordinary technicians in this technical field, and the calculation method can also be obtained cheaply in the prior art, so it will not be repeated here.
