[0002] The rearview mirror is a device used to observe the traffic conditions behind the vehicle. It has been used on cars for a hundred years. With the changes of the times, the rearview mirror has gradually evolved from an ordinary flat mirror to a convex mirror with a wider field of view. However, due to the limitations of its own structure, it will block part of the side view when encountering cars on narrow roads or when reversing into a garage, and the rearview mirror may be damaged. In addition, studies have shown that the exterior rearview mirror will increase wind resistance by 2% to 7%. Therefore, in order to completely solve these problems, new technologies must be found to replace them, and electronic rearview mirrors came into being.

[0003] At present, most of the existing interior rearview mirror devices have the disadvantage of being inconvenient to install and disassemble, which greatly increases the limitations of use. At the same time, there is a disadvantage of poor rear view, so that the rear situation cannot be observed during driving, which causes some traffic accidents and is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inside" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the utility model is a foldable interior rearview mirror, comprising a mounting assembly 1, a locking assembly 2 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting assembly 1, a connecting assembly 3 is clamped between the mounting assembly 1 and the locking assembly 2, a rearview mirror assembly 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting assembly 3, an adjustment assembly 5 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the rearview mirror assembly 4, and a vehicle interior mirror assembly 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the adjustment assembly 5.

[0031] When using the interior mirror after getting in the car, the device is fixedly installed in the car. First, the operator can manually adsorb the installation component 1 on the front windshield, and then the operator can manually press the connecting component 3 into the locking component 2. Due to the pressure of the operator, the locking component 2 is compressed inward until a cavity for the connecting component 3 to rotate is formed between the locking component 2 and the installation component 1. Then the operator manually rotates the connecting component 3 to 180 degrees. The rotation of the connecting component 3 drives the rearview mirror component 4, the adjustment component 5 and the interior mirror component 6 to rotate. Since the components on the installation component 1 limit the connecting component 3, the rearview mirror component 4, the adjustment component 5 and the interior mirror component 6 are easy to install. Purpose, when adjusting the installed rearview mirror assembly 4, adjustment assembly 5 and interior mirror assembly 6, the operator can manually rotate the rearview mirror assembly 4, and the connection assembly 3 and the rearview mirror assembly 4 can be rotated with the help of the components in the connection assembly 3. The rotation of the rearview mirror assembly 4 will drive the adjustment assembly 5 and the interior mirror assembly 6 to rotate until the rearview mirror assembly 4, the adjustment assembly 5 and the interior mirror assembly 6 rotate to a suitable field of view. In order to better observe the rear row situation in the vehicle, the operator can then manually rotate the adjustment assembly 5, and the rotation of the adjustment assembly 5 will drive the rotation of the interior mirror assembly 6 until it rotates to a suitable rear row observation field of view, thereby achieving the purpose of better observing the rear row situation.

[0032] Therefore, the operator can manually press the connecting component 3 into the locking component 2 first. Due to the pressure of the operator, the locking component 2 is compressed inward until a cavity for the connecting component 3 to rotate is formed between the locking component 2 and the mounting component 1. Then the operator manually rotates the connecting component 3 to 180 degrees. The rotation of the connecting component 3 drives the rearview mirror component 4, the adjustment component 5 and the interior mirror component 6 to rotate. Since the components on the mounting component 1 limit the connecting component 3, the purpose of facilitating the installation of the rearview mirror component 4, the adjustment component 5 and the interior mirror component 6 is achieved.

[0033] Therefore, the operator can manually rotate the adjustment component 5, and the rotation of the adjustment component 5 drives the rotation of the vehicle interior mirror component 6 until it rotates to a suitable rear-row observation field of view, thereby achieving the purpose of better observation of the rear-row situation.

[0034] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned installation component 1, the installation component 1 includes a suction cup 101, a support frame 102 is fixedly installed on one side of the suction cup 101, and two limit plates 103 are fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 102.

[0035] When installing the installation component 1 and the locking component 2, the operator can manually adsorb the suction cup 101 onto the front windshield. Due to the adsorption effect of the suction cup 101, the support frame 102, the limiting plate 103 and the locking component 2 are adsorbed onto the front windshield, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing and adsorbing the device. In addition, the limiting plate 103 is used to limit the connecting component 3.

[0036] In one embodiment, for the locking assembly 2 , the locking assembly 2 includes a plurality of springs 201 . The springs 201 are fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the support frame 102 . A pressing plate 202 is fixedly installed on one side of the spring 201 .

[0037] When locking the connecting component 3, the operator can manually press the components on the connecting component 3 against the clamping plate 202. The movement of the clamping plate 202 drives the contraction of the spring 201 until there is a cavity between the clamping plate 202 and the limit plate 103 for the components on the connecting component 3 to rotate. Then, the connecting component 3 is rotated 180 degrees until all the components on the connecting component 3 are clamped by the limit plate 103, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the device.

[0038] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned connecting component 3, the connecting component 3 includes a buckle 301 and a connecting seat 304, the buckle 301 is clamped between the limiting plate 103 and the clamping plate 202, a connecting rod 302 is fixedly installed on one side of the buckle 301, and a rotating ball 303 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting rod 302, and the surface of the rotating ball 303 is clamped in the connecting seat 304.

[0039] When adjusting the installed rearview mirror assembly 4, adjustment assembly 5 and interior mirror assembly 6, the operator can manually rotate the rearview mirror assembly 4, and then rotate the ball 303 in the inner cavity of the connecting seat 304. Since the buckle 301 is clamped between the clamping plate 202 and the limit plate 103, the connecting rod 302 of the rearview mirror assembly 4 will not move during the rotation process, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the rearview mirror assembly 4 and the interior mirror assembly 6.

[0040] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned rearview mirror assembly 4, the rearview mirror assembly 4 includes a first mirror frame 401, the first mirror frame 401 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting seat 304, a first lens 402 is clamped in the inner cavity of the first mirror frame 401, and a plurality of limiting holes 403 are opened on the top of the first mirror frame 401.

[0041] When the rearview mirror assembly 4 is rotated and adjusted, the operator rotates the first frame 401, and the first frame 401 drives the first lens 402 to adjust until the first lens 402 can observe the best position of the rear view of the vehicle, so as to achieve the purpose of better observing the rear view of the vehicle. In addition, the limit hole 403 is used to limit the adjustment assembly 5.

[0042] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned adjustment component 5, the adjustment component 5 includes a first bearing 501 and two second bearings 505, the first bearing 501 is fixedly installed on the side of the inner cavity of the first frame 401, a first rotating shaft 502 is rotatably installed in the first bearing 501, a driven bevel gear 503 is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft 502, two second bearings 505 are respectively fixedly installed at the bottom and top of the inner cavity of the first frame 401, a second rotating shaft 506 is rotatably installed in the two second bearings 505, and an active bevel gear 504 is fixedly installed at the opposite ends of the two second rotating shafts 506, the active bevel gear 504 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 503, a knob 507 is fixedly installed on the top of one of the second rotating shafts 506, and a limiting rod 508 adapted to the limiting hole 403 is slidably installed in the knob 507.

[0043] When adjusting the interior mirror assembly 6, in order to enable the driver to better observe the rear space conditions, the operator can manually turn the knob 507. The rotation of the knob 507 drives the second rotating shaft 506 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 506 drives the active bevel gear 504 to rotate. With the meshing rotation of the active bevel gear 504 and the driven bevel gear 503, the driven bevel gear 503 drives the first rotating shaft 502 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 502 drives the interior mirror assembly 6 to rotate until it rotates to a suitable rear row observation field of view. Then, the limit rod 508 is inserted into the limit hole 403, so as to achieve the purpose of better observation of the rear row conditions.

[0044] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned interior mirror assembly 6, the interior mirror assembly 6 includes a second mirror frame 601, the second mirror frame 601 is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 502, and a second lens 602 is clamped in the inner cavity of the second mirror frame 601.

[0045] When using the vehicle interior mirror assembly 6 to observe the rear view, the operator manually rotates the adjustment assembly 5, and the rotation of the adjustment assembly 5 drives the second frame 601 to rotate, and the rotation of the second frame 601 drives the second lens 602 to rotate until it rotates to a suitable observation field of view. Then, the rear view can be observed with the help of the second lens 602, thereby achieving the purpose of observing the rear view.

[0046] Through the above technical solution, the connecting component 3 is first manually pressed into the locking component 2. Due to the pressure of the operator, the locking component 2 is compressed inward until a cavity for the connecting component 3 to rotate is formed between the locking component 2 and the mounting component 1. Then the operator manually rotates the connecting component 3 to 180 degrees. The rotation of the connecting component 3 drives the rearview mirror component 4, the adjustment component 5 and the interior mirror component 6 to rotate. Since the components on the mounting component 1 limit the connecting component 3, the purpose of facilitating the installation of the rearview mirror component 4, the adjustment component 5 and the interior mirror component 6 is achieved. By manually rotating the adjustment component 5, the rotation of the adjustment component 5 drives the rotation of the interior mirror component 6 until it rotates to a suitable rear-row observation field of view, thereby achieving the purpose of better observation of the rear-row situation.
