Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, and in particular to a rearview mirror bracket. Background Art

[0002] A car usually has three rearview mirrors, one interior rearview mirror and two exterior rearview mirrors. The existing exterior rearview mirrors have the functions of folding and angle adjustment, but there is only one exterior rearview mirror on one side. Therefore, the rearview mirror on the same side cannot see the situation behind and on the ground at the same time. Especially when reversing, the rearview mirror automatically flips down, and it is difficult to observe the situation of the vehicle coming from behind through the rearview mirror. It is necessary to make a judgment based on the reversing image. This is still quite difficult for drivers with insufficient driving experience. The existing method to solve this problem is to stick a convex mirror on the surface of the exterior rearview mirror, and use the larger viewing angle of the convex mirror to make up for the missing rear view when reversing. However, the setting of this convex mirror not only affects the flatness of the rearview mirror, but also blocks the visual range of the original rearview mirror surface, which has a greater impact on the integrity of the original exterior rearview mirror.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0027] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.

[0028] like Figure 1-8 The rearview mirror bracket shown includes a flexible restraining sleeve 1, and a hard lock sheath 2 is arranged at one end of the restraining sleeve 1. The specific structure of the lock sheath 2 includes an extension handle 201, and the extension handle 201 is usually made of a hard polymer material, such as nylon. A slide groove 203 is provided on the bottom surface of the extension handle 201, so that the extension handle 201 has a hollow structure and the bottom is open. A movable lock core 4 is arranged in the lock sheath 2, which can form a stable limiting structure with the lock sheath 2. The specific structure of the lock core 4 includes an embedded slider 401, which just cooperates with the slide groove 203 to form a sliding pair. In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the lock core 4 and the slide groove 203 are both rectangular. The lock core 4 can only slide relative to the lock sheath 2 but cannot rotate, so that the direction of the lock core 4 relative to the lock sheath 2 can be well limited.

[0029] The restraint sleeve 1 includes a soft portion 102 made of a rubber material, which has good flexibility and elasticity. The soft portion 102 is used to wrap around the fixed cantilever of the exterior rearview mirror. By using its own elasticity and surface friction coefficient, it can be well tightened on the fixed cantilever of the exterior rearview mirror. One end of the soft portion 102 is fixedly connected to the lock sheath 2 through the hard portion 101. The hardness of the hard portion 101 is significantly greater than that of the soft portion 102. It is also made of a polymer synthetic material, such as plastic. The function of the hard portion 101 is to keep the soft portion 102 and the extension handle 20 1 The flatness of one end of the connection, the hard part 101 is fixedly connected to one end of the extension handle 201, and is connected as a whole by hot melting of the contact surface. The connection between the hard part 101 and the soft part 102 is also through hot melting. The end of the extension handle 201 away from the hard part 101 has a connecting ball 202. The connecting ball 202 and the extension handle 201 are an integrated structure, both of which are made of nylon material. An auxiliary rearview mirror can be covered on the outside of the connecting ball 202, and the auxiliary rearview mirror is interference fit to form a rotating pair, thereby increasing the viewing angle and range of the vehicle rearview mirror.

[0030] The other end of the soft part 102 is provided with a strap 103, which is usually an integrated structure with the soft part 102 and is made of a rubber material with good elasticity. A socket 207 is provided on the lock sheath 2, and the socket 207 passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the extension handle 201. The opening position of the socket 207 is close to the hard part 101. The socket 207 is used for the strap 103 to pass through, so the strap 103 passing through the extension handle 201 is also very close to the hard part 101. The loop formed by the restraining sleeve 1 is mostly made of soft material. The strap 103 passes through the socket 207 and is restricted by the lock core 4 relative to the lock sheath 2. In order to achieve the above-mentioned goal, a through groove 204 connecting the slide groove 203 and the socket 207 needs to be provided inside the extension handle 201, a pin hole 104 needs to be provided on the strap 103, and the pin hole 104 needs to be provided on the strap 103. There are several holes 104, and several pin holes 104 are arranged equidistantly along the length direction of the strap 103, so that the strap 103 can be adapted to the fixing cantilevers of exterior rearview mirrors of different sizes. A traction hole 105 is provided at the end of the strap 103 away from the soft part 102, and a finger or a hook-like tool can pass through the traction hole 105 to pull the strap 103 downward to help tighten the restraint sleeve 1. The end of the embedded slider 401 opposite to the through slot 204 has a pin plate 405, which is used to pass through the through slot 204 and engage with the pin hole 104. However, in fact, a blind groove 208 is also provided on the inner wall of the socket 207, and the blind groove 208 is located in the extension direction of the through slot 204. After the pin plate 405 passes through the pin hole 104, it will engage with the blind groove 208, so that the end of the pin plate 405 can also be constrained, thereby more stably suppressing the upward movement of the strap 103.

[0031] The extension handle 201 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 205 in the slide groove 203. The guide rod 205 is usually made of alloy material. The guide rod 205 is parallel to the length direction of the extension handle 201 to avoid motion interference with the embedded slider 401 in the slide groove 203. The embedded slider 401 is provided with guide holes 402 that pass through both end surfaces, which are used to cooperate with the guide rod 205 to form a sliding pair, constrain the embedded slider 401 in the slide groove 203, and further improve the stability of the embedded slider 401 when sliding relative to the slide groove 203. The extension handle 201 is provided with a spring 3 between the inner side wall of the slide groove 203 away from the socket 207 and the embedded slider 401, which is used to provide the entire lock core 4 with a close proximity. The elastic thrust of the strap 103, the extension handle 201 is provided with a first end shaft 206 on the inner side wall of the slide groove 203, the first end shaft 206 is located on the inner wall of the slide groove 203 away from the socket 207, and can be embedded in one end of the spring 3, the embedded slider 401 has a second end shaft 406 on the side facing away from the pin plate 405, which can be embedded in the other end of the spring 3, constraining the two ends of the spring 3, which can well ensure the stability of the entire spring 3; the embedded slider 401 extends to the bottom surface of the slide groove 203 and has a slide handle 403, the protruding slide handle 403 can easily push the entire lock core 4 to move, and the bottom surface of the slide handle 403 is provided with a friction strip 404, which can increase the friction between the slide handle 403 and the finger.

[0032] Installation method: Before installing the rearview mirror, first put the auxiliary rearview mirror on the connecting ball 202. The bracket only provides a stable connection for the auxiliary rearview mirror. During installation, push the sliding handle 403 backward to release the restraint of the lock core 4 on the strap 103. Then, pull out the strap 103 originally inserted in the socket 207 of the lock sheath 2, and wrap it around the bottom of the fixed cantilever of the exterior rearview mirror and then insert it into the socket 207 of the lock sheath 2. The part of the strap 103 with the traction hole 105 will be located below the lock sheath 2. You can use a hook tool to The strap 103 is pulled downward until the soft part 102 is completely tightened outside the fixed cantilever of the exterior rearview mirror, and the sliding handle 403 can be released. The entire lock core 4 will slide forward under the action of the restoring elastic force of the spring 3, and the pin plate 405 will pass through the through groove 204 and the pin hole 104 in turn, and finally engage with the blind groove 208 to complete the installation of the auxiliary rearview mirror bracket. Since the soft part 102 has a high surface friction coefficient and the contact surface pressure is relatively large, the stability of the bracket after installation is very high even if no connecting parts are used.
