The fastening spring 5 provides a fastening force for the ball socket insert 3 to reduce the extrusion deformation of the ball head 14 caused by thermal expansion, thereby avoiding the problem of loosening and shaking of the ball head 14. The adjustment block 2 and the ball socket insert 3 are of split design. After the ball head 14 and the ball socket insert 3 are matched, the adjustment block 2 can be adjusted in the X direction. Neither the ball head 14 nor the ball socket insert 3 is in direct contact with the mirror housing 1. The mirror housing 1 will not be subjected to the force generated by the high-temperature deformation of the ball socket insert 3, thereby solving the problem of high-temperature deformation and shaking of the mirror housing 1. The mirror housing 1 is made of PC+ABS plastic, the ball socket insert 3 is made of POM (polyoxymethylene), which improves the wear resistance and high temperature resistance of the ball socket insert 3, and the adjustment block 2 and the adjustment cover plate 4 are made of PA+GF55 (nylon and glass), which has high strength and toughness and low application cost. The adjustment block 2 is processed and formed by nylon reinforced injection molding.

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, a protrusion 31 is provided at the end of the ball socket insert 3, and a groove 32 is provided between the protrusions 31, and the protrusions 31 are distributed in an annular shape. The ball socket insert 3 is used to install the ball head 14 and realize its rotatable function. The diameter of the ball head 14 is larger than the inner diameter of the ball socket. By designing the protrusion 31 and the groove 32, when the ball head 14 is deformed by high temperature, the ball head 14 expands and squeezes the ball socket insert 3 so that the protrusion 31 can be deformed outward to a certain extent, preventing the ball socket insert 3 from being damaged by extrusion, and when the ball head 14 is installed, the protrusion 31 can be deformed to facilitate the ball head 14 to pass through; by providing the groove 32, the deformation of the protrusion 31 has a space margin, and after the fastening spring 5 is installed, the protrusions 31 evenly distributed in an annular shape can be retracted inward to a certain range, thereby improving the fastening force of the ball head 14 installation and avoiding the adverse effects of its deformation due to high temperature.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the adjustment block 2 is a groove-type structure, and the ball socket insert 3 is arranged in the middle of the upper end of the adjustment block 2; a connecting plate 34 is provided at the bottom of the ball socket insert 3, and a connecting hole 35 is provided at the end of the connecting plate 34, and the connecting plate 34 is connected to the adjustment block 2 by bolts.
