DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0050] The present application proposes a rearview mirror 20 of a vehicle 100 and a vehicle 100 , which can increase the passability of the vehicle 100 and improve the user experience.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 10 According to the rearview mirror 20 of the vehicle 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 is rotatably connected to the side of the vehicle body 10.

[0052] The rearview mirror 20 is arranged at a first position and a second position. The rearview mirror 20 is moved between the first position and the second position by rotating upward or downward. The dimension of the rearview mirror 20 protruding from the side of the vehicle body 10 in the second position is smaller than the dimension of the rearview mirror 20 protruding from the side of the vehicle body 10 in the first position. Specifically, when the vehicle 100 is driving normally, the rearview mirror 20 is in the first position. The user can observe the road conditions through the rearview mirror 20, which is convenient for road driving. When the vehicle 100 needs to meet, park or pass through an extremely narrow road, the rearview mirror 20 can be rotated upward or downward to switch the rearview mirror 20 to the second position. At this time, the dimension of the rearview mirror 20 protruding from the side of the vehicle body 10 in the second position is smaller than the dimension of the rearview mirror 20 protruding from the side of the vehicle body 10 in the first position. In other words, the side dimension of the vehicle 10 in the left-right direction in the second position is smaller than the side dimension of the vehicle 10 in the left-right direction in the first position, so as to increase the passability of the vehicle 100, avoid scratches on the vehicle 100, and improve the safety of the user.

[0053] Therefore, according to the rearview mirror 20 of the vehicle 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, the upward flipping of the rearview mirror 20 can increase the passability of the vehicle 100 in meeting, parking and extremely narrow roads, thereby improving the user experience.

[0054] It should be noted that the rearview mirror 20 may be a traditional mirror rearview mirror, an electronic rearview mirror, a streaming media rearview mirror, etc. For ease of description, unless otherwise specified, the rearview mirror 20 will be described below as a streaming media rearview mirror.

[0055] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 can be switched from the first position to the second position by flipping upward; specifically, the rearview mirror 20 is provided with an image acquisition device 213, which is used to collect images and videos around the vehicle 100 to reflect the situation around the vehicle 100 to the user; when the vehicle 100 meets, parks or passes through an extremely narrow passage, the rearview mirror 20 is set to flip upward, so that the image acquisition device 213 on the rearview mirror 20 can be kept away from the road surface to prevent stones, sewage, etc. on the road surface from contaminating and corroding the image acquisition device 213.

[0056] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present application, the side of the vehicle body 10 is concave, and the rearview mirror 20 is in contact with the concave area at the second position, so that the rearview mirror 20 is in contact with the streamline plane of the vehicle body 10, reducing the convexity of the rearview mirror 20 relative to the vehicle body 10, thereby improving the passability of the vehicle 100. In addition, at least a part of the rearview mirror 20 is arranged in the concave area at the second position, which can reduce the size of the side of the vehicle body 10 and improve the passability of the vehicle 100.

[0057] Among them, the body 10 has a first side portion 11 and a second side portion 12 higher than the first side portion 11, the second side portion 12 is recessed toward the body 10 relative to the first side portion 11, and the rearview mirror 20 is opposite to the second side portion 12 on the left and right in the second position; specifically, in the body 10 of the vehicle 100, the second side portion 12 is recessed toward the body 10 relative to the first side portion 11 to construct a recessed area, and at least a portion of the rearview mirror 20 can be located in the recessed area when the rearview mirror 20 is in the second position. It can be understood that when the rearview mirror 20 is in the second position, the second side portion 12 gives way to the rearview mirror 20, reducing the bulge of the rearview mirror 20 relative to the body 10 of the vehicle 100, so as to further increase the passability of the vehicle 100 and avoid scratches on the vehicle 100.

[0058] More specifically, the second side portion 12 is recessed inwardly toward the vehicle body 10 relative to the first side portion 11, including but not limited to: the entire outer side surface of the second side portion 12 is recessed inwardly toward the vehicle body 10 relative to the first side portion 11 (for example, the first side portion 11 and the second side portion 12 are arranged on the left side of the vehicle body, and the outer side surface of the second side portion 12 is recessed to the right relative to the outer side surface of the first side portion 11; or the first side portion 11 and the second side portion 12 are arranged on the right side of the vehicle body, and the outer side surface of the second side portion 12 is recessed to the left relative to the outer side surface of the first side portion 11); or, the outer side surface of the second side portion 12 extends obliquely toward the vehicle body 10 in a bottom-up direction (for example, the first side portion 11 and the second side portion 12 are arranged on the left side of the vehicle body, and the outer side surface of the second side portion 12 extends obliquely to the right relative to the outer side surface of the first side portion 11 in a bottom-up direction; or the first side portion 11 and the second side portion 12 are arranged on the right side of the vehicle body, and the outer side surface of the second side portion 12 extends obliquely to the left relative to the outer side surface of the first side portion 11 in a bottom-up direction).

[0059] Of course, according to actual conditions, the rearview mirror 20 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 10, and the rotatable connection structure between the rearview mirror 20 and the vehicle body 10 can be set in the recessed area, thereby improving the space utilization of the vehicle 100 and further reducing the size of the side of the vehicle body 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle body 10 includes a window located on the side of the vehicle body 10, and the recessed area is located in the area of ​​the window. It can be understood that the window can be set as the aforementioned second side portion 12, so that the rearview mirror 20 can cooperate with the window to make the rearview mirror 20 and the vehicle body 10 of the vehicle 100 fit in a streamlined manner to reduce wind resistance, and further reduce the bulge of the rearview mirror 20 relative to the vehicle body 10, thereby improving the passability of the vehicle 100 and avoiding scratches on the vehicle 100.

[0061] Further, refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle window is a front triangular window, that is, the front triangular window is set as the second side portion 12. In this way, the rearview mirror 20 can cooperate with the front triangular window to make the rearview mirror 20 and the body 10 of the vehicle 100 fit in a streamlined manner to reduce wind resistance, and further reduce the bulge of the rearview mirror 20 relative to the body 10, thereby improving the passability of the vehicle 100 and avoiding scratches on the vehicle 100.

[0062] In practice, when the rearview mirror 20 is flipped upwards and in the second position, the rearview mirror 20 can perfectly fit with the vehicle window plane and the front triangular window, and can fit with the streamlined plane of the vehicle body 10 of the entire vehicle front body 10. From the front, the structure of the rearview mirror 20 is almost invisible, which increases the passability of the vehicle body 10 in extremely narrow spaces and can avoid obstacles such as fire extinguisher boxes protruding from high walls, windows opened outward on the roadside, etc. At the same time, it avoids the collision of the rearview mirror 20 during the process of meeting and parking. After parking and storage, in the case of double-boundary parking with cars or other obstacles on both sides of the car, the risk of door opening collision can be reduced, and at the same time, a better experience of leaving the car after the driver and passengers get off the car is provided, and the rearview mirror 20 will not get caught on clothes or occupy the passing space.

[0063] Reference Figures 1 to 10 In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 is configured to have a shape that matches the front triangular window of the vehicle. Specifically, the front triangular window of the vehicle may include a first side, a second side, and a third side, wherein the first side extends in the front-to-back direction and is tilted upward in the direction from front to back, the second side extends in the front-to-back direction, and the front end is connected to the first side, and the third side extends in the up-down direction and connects the rear end of the first side and the rear end of the second side. The rearview mirror 20 may include a first side, a second side, and a third side, wherein, in the second position, the first side extends in the front-to-back direction and is tilted upward in the direction from front to back, the second side extends in the front-to-back direction, and the front end is connected to the first side, and the third side extends in the up-down direction and connects the rear end of the first side and the rear end of the second side.

[0064] In the second position, the first side of the rearview mirror 20 extends in the same direction as the first side of the front triangular window, and the second side of the rearview mirror 20 extends in the same direction as the second side of the front triangular window. Alternatively, in the projection along the thickness direction of the front triangular window, the first side of the rearview mirror 20 substantially coincides with the first side of the front triangular window, and the second side of the rearview mirror 20 substantially coincides with the second side of the front triangular window.

[0065] This arrangement can avoid interference between the rearview mirror 20 and the front triangular window of the vehicle; specifically, when the rearview mirror 20 is flipped upward to the second position, the rearview mirror 20 can cooperate with the front triangular window of the vehicle to reduce the side size of the vehicle 100 and improve the passability of the vehicle 100; and the shape of the rearview mirror 20 can be adapted to the shape of the front triangular window of the vehicle; for example, the edge shape of the rearview mirror 20 can be similar to the shape of the window frame of the front triangular window of the vehicle. When the rearview mirror 20 is in the second position, the edge of the rearview mirror 20 can be spaced a predetermined distance from the window frame of the front triangular window of the vehicle to avoid structural interference between the rearview mirror 20 and the front triangular window of the vehicle.

[0066] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10In some embodiments of the present application, in the second position, the rearview mirror 20 extends along the outer side of the vehicle body 10 in a bottom-up direction, which can improve the flatness of the appearance of the vehicle 100, improve the passability of the vehicle 100, and avoid scratches on the vehicle 100.

[0067] For example, the rearview mirror 20 can be flipped upward to the second position so that the rearview mirror 20 is set in the recessed area. At this time, the side of the rearview mirror 20 facing the outside of the vehicle 100 can extend from bottom to top along the outer side surface of the first side portion 11 to form a complete continuous surface for the appearance of the vehicle 100, thereby improving the flatness of the appearance of the vehicle 100 and thus improving the passability of the vehicle 100.

[0068] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 includes a first surface. When the rearview mirror 20 is in the first position, the first surface is the upper surface of the rearview mirror 20. When the rearview mirror 20 is in the second position, the first surface is the side surface of the rearview mirror 20 and is arranged opposite to the recessed area. In this way, the first surface of the rearview mirror 20 can be adapted to the side of the vehicle body 10. When in the first position, it can leave the recessed area and expand toward the outside of the vehicle body 10 to facilitate guiding the airflow, thereby reducing the driving resistance of the vehicle 100. When in the second position, it can be located in the recessed area and cooperate with the recessed area to reduce the size of the rearview mirror 20 protruding from the side of the vehicle body 10.

[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 also includes a second surface connected to the first surface, and when the rearview mirror 20 is in the second position, the second surface is the oblique upper side surface of the rearview mirror 20; in this way, when the rearview mirror 20 is in the second position, the oblique upper side surface of the rearview mirror 20 can guide the airflow to flow in an oblique upper direction, thereby exerting a downward pressure on the vehicle 100, preventing the vehicle 100 from leaving the road when driving at high speed, and reducing the driving resistance of the vehicle 100, thereby improving the user experience.

[0070] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 includes at least one camera, and at least one camera is arranged near the intersection of the first surface and the second surface; such an arrangement can increase the camera's imaging range to provide the user with better road conditions.

[0071] Reference Figures 1 to 7In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 also includes a third surface connecting the first surface and the second surface. When the rearview mirror 20 is in the second position, the third surface is the lower surface of the rearview mirror 20. In this way, the third surface of the rearview mirror 20 can be adapted to the side of the vehicle body 10, and form a continuous transition surface with the outer surface of the vehicle body 10 in the second position to improve the flatness of the appearance of the vehicle 100. In the first position, it can be expanded toward the outside of the vehicle body 10 to facilitate guiding the airflow, thereby reducing the driving resistance of the vehicle 100.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the flip angle range of the rearview mirror 20 is greater than or equal to 90°, so that the field of view of the rearview mirror 20 can be improved, the blind spot of the rearview mirror 20 can be reduced, and more driving vision can be provided for the user. Among them, the flip angle of the rearview mirror 20 can be 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, etc.

[0073] Reference Figures 1 to 10 In some embodiments of the present application, the dimension of the rearview mirror 20 along the width direction of the vehicle body 10 in the second position is smaller than the dimension along the height direction of the vehicle body 10; it can be understood that when the rearview mirror 20 is in the first position, the height dimension of the rearview mirror 20 is smaller than the width dimension of the rearview mirror 20, so that when the rearview mirror 20 is flipped upward to the second position, the dimension of the rearview mirror 20 along the width direction of the vehicle body 10 in the second position can be smaller than the dimension along the height direction of the vehicle body 10, so that the dimension of the rearview mirror 20 protruding from the side of the vehicle body 10 in the second position is smaller than the dimension of the rearview mirror 20 protruding from the side of the vehicle body 10 in the first position. In other words, compared with the first position, the width dimension of the vehicle 100 in the left-right direction is reduced in the second position of the rearview mirror 20, thereby improving the passability of the vehicle 100.

[0074] In addition, the windward surface of the rearview mirror 20 is inclined in the direction from front to rear in a direction away from the rotation axis of the rearview mirror 20; such an arrangement can form a guide structure on the windward surface of the rearview mirror 20, and under the guidance of the windward surface of the rearview mirror 20, the airflow can flow from the side of the rearview mirror 20 close to the vehicle body 10 to the side of the rearview mirror 20 away from the vehicle body 10, thereby guiding the airflow in a direction away from the vehicle 100, avoiding the airflow gathering on the vehicle 100 and increasing the travel resistance of the vehicle 100.

[0075] In addition, the windward surface of the rearview mirror 20 is streamlined in the thickness direction; in other words, the windward surface of the rearview mirror 20 is smooth and continuous to reduce the formation of turbulence; and the front end of the windward surface of the rearview mirror 20 is relatively sharp, which is convenient for smoothly cutting through the air and reducing the driving resistance of the vehicle 100.

[0076] Secondly, the rearview mirror 20 is designed to be triangular in shape, which can improve the structural strength of the rearview mirror 20 and effectively reduce the air resistance of the vehicle 100 during driving, thereby reducing wind noise and improving the fuel efficiency of the vehicle 100.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 includes a main body 21 and a driving unit, the driving unit is disposed in the main body 21, and the driving unit is used to drive the main body 21 to move between a first position and a second position; specifically, the driving unit is used to drive the main body 21 to flip so that the main body 21 moves between the first position and the second position, so as to achieve a reduction in the size of the side of the vehicle body 10 of the vehicle 100 and improve the passability of the vehicle 100; and the driving unit is disposed in the main body 21, which can prevent the external environment from affecting the normal operation of the driving unit and improve the working stability of the rearview mirror 20.

[0078] The driving part may be a rotating motor, which drives the main body 21 to flip relative to the vehicle body 10 to achieve movement between the first position and the second position.

[0079] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 includes a shell 212 and an image acquisition device 213 arranged in the shell 212. The shell 212 is rotatably connected to the side of the vehicle body 10. When in the first position and the second position, the image acquisition direction of the image acquisition device 213 is toward the rear of the vehicle 100. It can be understood that the image acquisition direction of the image acquisition device 213 is toward the rear of the vehicle in the first position and the second position. In this way, the road conditions behind the vehicle 100 can be collected and the road conditions can be fed back to the user in the vehicle, so that the user can know the road conditions behind the vehicle 100, thereby improving the driving safety of the vehicle 100.

[0080] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 20 includes a shell 212 and an imaging area arranged in the shell 212. The shell 212 is rotatably connected to the side of the vehicle body 10. When in the first position and the second position, the imaging area is configured to project light toward the interior of the vehicle body 10; in this way, it is convenient for the user to obtain the situation of the road behind and improve the safety of vehicle driving.

[0081] Specifically, the imaging area may include an imaging area of ​​a mirror structure, an imaging area formed by a display screen, etc. For example, a rearview mirror lens may be provided on the housing 212, through which the user can observe the rear vehicle condition; for another example, a display screen may be provided on the housing 212, and the display screen may transmit signals with the camera to provide feedback of the rear vehicle condition to the user. Of course, according to actual conditions, a traditional rearview mirror lens and a display screen may be integrated into the housing of the rearview mirror 212 to cooperate with each other to increase the user's observation range and further improve driving safety.
