DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the utility model should be understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs. The "first", "second" and similar words used in this application do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components.

"Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0030] At present, vehicles have become the most commonly used means of transportation for people's daily travel. The rearview mirror of a vehicle is the main component for the driver to observe the situation behind the vehicle. In order to display more information in the rearview mirror, there are more and more rearview mirror products, such as: dual-mode rearview mirror, which can display the scene recorded by the camera (i.e., play the role of streaming media rearview mirror) and the scene reflected by the reflector (i.e., play the role of physical reflector).

[0031] The existing dual-mode rearview mirror is mainly composed of a display screen 01, an LC (Liquid Crystal) mirror 02 and a cover glass 03, with a spacing between each two. Figure 1 As shown, the LC mirror is used to display the scene recorded by the camera, or to play the role of a physical reflector to display the reflected scene. LC mirror control principle: 1. In streaming media rearview mirror mode: the display screen is lit, and the LC mirror is powered on in low-reflection and high-transmittance mode. The high transmittance is to transmit the information on the display screen, and the low reflectivity is to avoid the interference of mirror reflection and information on the display screen. 2. In physical reflector mode: the display screen is not lit, and the LC mirror is not powered on. It is in high-reflection and low-transmittance mode. This is the same as the reflection principle of an ordinary physical mirror, but although it is in high-reflection mode, the reflectivity is only 40% to 45%.

[0032] However, due to the overlap between the display screen and the LC mirror, there is a gap, resulting in a relatively large thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror, which affects the appearance. In addition, in the streaming mode, due to the presence of the LC mirror in front of the display screen, the brightness of the display screen is attenuated. When the LC mirror is powered on, it is in a high transmittance mode, so that the information on the display screen can be displayed through the LC mirror. The LC power-on process increases the power consumption of the dual-mode rearview mirror; in the physical reflector mode, the reflectivity of the LC mirror is about 40-45%, and the mirror surface is yellowish, which affects the user experience.

[0033] Based on this, the present application provides a dual-mode rearview mirror, including a rearview mirror 10 (i.e., the streaming media rearview mirror mentioned above) and a reflector 20 (i.e., the physical reflector mentioned above); the reflector 20 is covered on the rearview mirror 10, is fitted with the rearview mirror 10, and is detachably connected to the rearview mirror 10. The rearview mirror 10 is composed of a display screen 01 and a cover glass 03. There is a gap between the display screen 01 and the cover glass 03, but since the LC mirror 02 is removed, the gap between the display screen 01 and the LC mirror 02 is avoided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rearview mirror 10 is thinner and more beautiful than the existing dual-mode rearview mirror. When the reflector 20 is used, it is fitted with the rearview mirror 10, and there is no distance between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, so that the increased thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror is only the thickness of the reflector 20, which does not affect the beauty of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0034] In addition, the user can also switch the usage mode of the dual-mode rearview mirror according to his or her driving habits. When the user is accustomed to using the rearview mirror 10, the reflector 20 is removed from the rearview mirror 10; when the user is accustomed to using the reflector 20, the reflector 20 is installed on the rearview mirror 10 and is set in a close fit, which is convenient for the user to switch while not affecting the reflection efficiency of the reflector 20 and the power consumption of the rearview mirror 10.

[0035] The following describes in detail the technical solutions of one or more embodiments of the present application through specific embodiments. A dual-mode rearview mirror, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a detachably connected rearview mirror 10 and a reflector 20;

[0036] The reflector 20 is covered on the rearview mirror 10 and is closely attached to the rearview mirror 10 .

[0037] Specifically, the rearview mirror 10 is composed of a display screen and a cover glass stack (the cover glass is arranged outside), and has a relatively small thickness. The reflector 20 is a conventional mirror, and has a relatively small thickness. When the reflector 20 is used, the reflector 20 is arranged in close contact with the rearview mirror 10, that is, the reflector 20 is arranged in close contact with the cover glass, thereby avoiding a gap between the two, thereby avoiding an increase in thickness to the greatest extent, and not affecting the aesthetics of the dual-mode rearview mirror. In addition, the reflector 20 is detachably connected to the rearview mirror 10, and the mode switching of the dual-mode rearview mirror is achieved by installing and removing the reflector 20.

[0038] In this embodiment, the reflector 20 is covered on the rearview mirror 10, is arranged in close contact with the rearview mirror 10, and is detachably connected to the rearview mirror 10. When the rearview mirror 10 is used, the reflector 20 is removed from the rearview mirror 10. When the reflector 20 is used, the reflector 20 is covered on the rearview mirror 10 and connected to the rearview mirror 10 to obtain a dual-mode rearview mirror, so that the user can switch between the two modes of using the rearview mirror; when the reflector 20 is used, it is connected in close contact with the rearview mirror 10, thereby avoiding the distance between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, thereby reducing the thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror, which is beneficial to the beauty of the dual-mode rearview mirror, and the rearview mirror 10 and the reflector 20 are arranged separately, which can avoid mutual influence between the two, improve the reflection efficiency of the reflector 20, reduce the power consumption of the rearview mirror 10, and also reduce the cost of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0039] In some embodiments, the rearview mirror 10 includes a first connecting portion 11 and a first mirror portion 12, wherein the first mirror portion 12 is embedded in the first connecting portion 11, and the first connecting portion 11 is connected to the vehicle body;

[0040] The reflector 20 includes a second connecting portion 21 and a second mirror portion 22 . The second mirror portion 22 is embedded in the second connecting portion 21 . The second connecting portion 21 and the first connecting portion 11 are detachably connected.

[0041] Specifically, the first mirror portion 12 of the rearview mirror 10 is a cover glass, that is, the outer portion capable of displaying streaming media information, the first connecting portion 11 is a shell for installing the cover glass and the display screen, the shell of the rearview mirror 10 is connected to the vehicle body to fix the rearview mirror 10 on the vehicle body, and is located at the upper part of the front windshield corresponding to the driver's seat and the co-driver's seat, so as to facilitate user viewing; the second mirror portion 22 of the reflector 20 is a portion capable of reflecting information, that is, the mirror surface portion of the reflector 20, and the second connecting portion 21 is a mounting structure for mounting the mirror surface. The second connecting portion 21 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 11 to realize the detachable connection between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, the detachable connection between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10 is achieved by limiting the detachable connection between the second connecting portion 21 and the first connecting portion 11, thereby avoiding affecting the first mirror portion 12 and the second mirror portion 22, thereby ensuring the normal functions of the rearview mirror 10 and the reflector 20.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second connecting portion is a plate-like structure, the second mirror surface portion is fixedly connected to the plate-like structure, and the second connecting portion is arranged in close contact with the first mirror surface portion.

[0044] Specifically, the second connecting portion is fixedly connected to the second mirror surface portion, the second mirror surface portion is adhered to the first mirror surface portion through the second connecting portion, and the second mirror surface portion is connected to the first connecting portion through the second connecting portion to achieve connection with the rearview mirror, which is beneficial to the stable setting of the reflector and makes the reflector more beautiful.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the second connection portion 21 is a frame-shaped structure, and the second mirror portion 22 is embedded in the frame-shaped structure and is disposed in close contact with the first mirror portion 12 .

[0046] Specifically, the second mirror surface portion 22 is embedded in the frame structure and connected to the second connecting portion 21. When the reflector 20 is installed on the rearview mirror 10, the second mirror surface portion 22 is fitted with the first mirror surface portion 12, that is, the second mirror surface portion 22 is fitted with the second mirror surface portion 22 through the middle hole of the frame structure to achieve a fitting setting of the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, thereby avoiding an increase in the thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror to the greatest extent and allowing the user to view the same position when using the reflector 20 as when using the rearview mirror 10, thereby facilitating user use.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the second connection portion 21 includes a mirror frame 211 and a back plate 212 connected to each other. The back plate 212 is arranged in close contact with the first mirror portion 12 , and the second mirror portion 22 is embedded between the mirror frame 211 and the back plate 212 .

[0048] Specifically, the second mirror portion 22 is embedded and connected to the mirror frame 211, and the back plate 212 is arranged relative to the second mirror portion 22 to limit the second mirror portion 22, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the second mirror portion 22 and the second connecting portion 21. When the reflector 20 is installed on the rearview mirror 10, the second mirror portion 22 is arranged outward to transmit information, and the back plate 212 is located between the first mirror portion 12 and the second mirror portion 22, and is arranged in close contact with the first mirror portion 12, so that the thickness of the dual-mode rearview mirror is small, which ensures the appearance and does not affect the normal use of the dual-mode rearview mirror.

[0049] In some embodiments, a buckle 213 is provided on the second connection portion 21 , and a slot 111 adapted to the buckle 213 is provided on the first connection portion 11 , and the second connection portion 21 and the first connection portion 11 are detachably connected via the buckle 213 and the slot 111 .

[0050] Specifically, the second connecting portion 21 and the first connecting portion 11 are snap-fitted with each other through the snap-fitting cooperation of the buckle 213 and the slot 111 to realize the fixed connection between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, and the second connecting portion 21 can be removed from the first connecting portion 11 by releasing the snap-fitting cooperation between the buckle 213 and the slot 111, so as to realize the removal of the reflector 20 from the rearview mirror 10. The arrangement of the buckle 213 and the slot 111 facilitates user operation, thereby facilitating the switching of the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the second connection portion 21 is extended toward the first connection portion 11 to form a mounting cover 214 , and the mounting cover 214 is disposed on the periphery of the first connection portion 11 .

[0052] Specifically, the reflector 20 is connected to the cover of the rearview mirror 10 through the mounting cover 214. The mounting cover 214 is adapted to the periphery of the first connecting part 11. The periphery of the first connecting part 11 is the outer shell of the rearview mirror 10. Under the action of its own gravity and the limiting action of the first connecting part 11, the mounting cover 214 is covered on the periphery of the first connecting part 11, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10, making the connection method simpler, and improving the user's installation efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, a buckle 213 is provided on the installation cover 214 , a slot 111 is provided on the first connection portion 11 , and the buckle 213 is engaged with the slot 111 .

[0054] Specifically, the mounting cover 214 and the first connecting portion 11 realize the detachable connection between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10 through the snap fit of the buckle 213 and the slot 111, thereby avoiding an unstable connection caused by only the covering action of the mounting cover 214, and making the connection between the reflector 20 and the rearview mirror 10 more stable.

[0055] In some embodiments, a button 112 connected to a switch of the rearview mirror 10 is disposed in the card slot 111;
