[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4-Figure 6, a novel storage device, the clamping mechanism includes a bidirectional threaded rod 13, a fixed plate 14, a movable plate 15, a clamping plate 16 and a guide roller 17, the inner side of the rearview mirror housing 2 close to the camera 3 is rotatably connected with the bidirectional threaded rod 13, one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 penetrates the rearview mirror housing 2 and is fixed with a fixed plate 14, the inner side of the fixed plate 14 is provided with an inner hexagonal slot, and the fixing plate 14 can be easily rotated by cooperating with the inner hexagonal wrench and the slot, and the two ends of the outer side of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 are threadedly connected with the movable plates 15, and the two movable plates 15 are slidably connected with the rearview mirror housing 2, and the ends of the two movable plates 15 close to each other are fixed with the clamping plates 16, and the two clamping plates 16 are slidably connected with the rearview mirror housing 2, and the inner sides of the bottom ends of the two movable plates 15 are slidably connected with a guide roller 17, which is located inside the rearview mirror housing 2 and is fixed to the rearview mirror housing 2;

[0039] Through the design of the snap-fit ​​mechanism, when the camera 3 fails or is damaged, the detachable connection allows the driver or maintenance personnel to easily remove the camera 3 from the rearview mirror housing 2 for maintenance or replacement. This design reduces maintenance time and improves efficiency.

[0040] A plug-in board 18 is fixed at both ends of one side of the camera 3. A snap-in groove 19 is provided on the inner side of one end of the two plug-in boards 18 away from each other. The size of the snap-in groove 19 is the same as the outer size of the snap-in board 16. The snap-in board 16 is snap-connected to the plug-in board 18 through the snap-in groove 19.

[0041] The outer shapes of the rearview mirror housing 2 and the camera 3 housing are convex at the top and concave at the bottom; the rearview mirror housing 2 and the camera 3 housing are both made of ABS material, which is a material with high strength, good toughness and easy processing and molding.

[0042] The use process of the novel storage device provided by the utility model is as follows: when a car is driving on a narrow road or when parking, the rearview mirror needs to be stored in order to prevent the rearview mirror from being damaged; an electric signal is sent from the control panel inside the car to the stepper motor 8, the stepper motor 8 is started, and the output end of the stepper motor 8 drives the first-stage transmission gear 9 to rotate. Since the first-stage transmission gear 9 is meshed and connected with the second-stage transmission gear 10, the rotation of the first-stage transmission gear 9 drives the second-stage transmission gear 10 to rotate, so that the connecting shaft 11 fixed to the second-stage transmission gear 10 also rotates, and the connecting shaft 11 is fixed to the rearview mirror housing 2, so that the rotation of the connecting shaft 11 drives the rearview mirror housing 2 to rotate, so that the rearview mirror housing 2 can be stored, and the camera 3 set on the rearview mirror housing 2 can also be stored inside the car housing 1;

[0043] The design of the storage mechanism allows the rearview mirror housing 2 and the camera 3 to be completely inserted into the vehicle body, effectively reducing the overall width of the vehicle, making it more convenient to drive on narrow roads;

[0044] When the camera 3 is damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced, the fixing plate 14 can be easily rotated by cooperating with the fixing plate 14 because the fixing plate 14 is provided with an inner hexagonal slot by using an inner hexagonal wrench and the slot. Since the fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 13, and the bidirectional threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected to the rearview mirror housing 2, the rotation of the fixing plate 14 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 13 to rotate. Since the two moving plates 15 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 13, the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 13 drives the two moving plates 15 to move toward one end away from each other, so that the clamping plate 16 fixed to the moving plate 15 also moves, and the clamping plate 16 is disengaged from the clamping slot 19, so that the clamping plate 16 is no longer clamped with the plug-in plate 18 through the clamping slot 19, so that the camera 3 fixed to the plug-in plate 18 can be detached from the inner side of the rearview mirror housing 2.

[0045] Through the design of the snap-fit ​​mechanism, when the camera 3 fails or is damaged, the detachable connection allows the driver or maintenance personnel to easily remove the camera 3 from the rearview mirror housing 2 for maintenance or replacement. This design reduces maintenance time and improves efficiency.
