Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile rearview mirrors, in particular to an automobile rearview mirror with hidden side turn signals. Background Art

[0002] The mirror shell of the automobile rearview mirror has a smooth outer curve. The mirror shell is generally divided into two parts, the lower part is the auxiliary mirror shell, and the upper part is the decorative cover, both of which are made of opaque materials. A transparent side turn signal mask is sandwiched between the auxiliary mirror shell and the decorative cover, so the separate turn signal area and the internal parts of the turn signal can be clearly seen from the outside of the rearview mirror, which makes the rearview mirror lack an overall look and feel, and cannot meet the high quality requirements of customers and the market's upgrades. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings or deficiencies of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a car rearview mirror with an integrated appearance and a more beautiful appearance.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model has the following structure:

[0005] A car rearview mirror with hidden side turn signals comprises a light guide, a sub-mirror shell and a decorative cover. The sub-mirror shell or the decorative cover comprises a side turn signal mask area and a non-light-transmitting area. The side turn signal mask area adopts a smoked PMMA material with low light transmittance, and the non-light-transmitting area adopts an opaque PC material. The side turn signal mask area and the non-light-transmitting area are integrally two-color injection molded, and the colors are similar.

[0006] The color of the non-light-transmitting area is preferably black.

[0007] The light transmittance of the side turn signal lamp mask area is preferably 15%, and the spacing between the light guide teeth is 1mm-2mm.

[0008] The non-translucent area can be made of opaque ASA material.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are:

[0010] The side turn signal lamp mask area and the auxiliary mirror shell or the decorative cover of the automobile rearview mirror of the utility model are combined into one. The side turn signal lamp mask area and the non-light-transmitting area of ​​the auxiliary mirror shell or the decorative cover have different materials but similar or identical colors. The two areas are almost integrated. The hiding effect of the side turn signal lamp area is better, and the overall visual effect of the automobile rearview mirror is better and more beautiful.

[0011] According to the material transmittance and light guide tooth spacing of the side turn signal lamp mask area, the rearview mirror can achieve the best match between hiding effect and cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] The following drawings illustrate some specific embodiments of the present invention in an exemplary and non-limiting manner. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar components or parts.

[0017] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention.

[0018] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are simplified descriptions for the convenience of describing the present invention only, and do not mean that the elements indicated must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0019] The utility model replaces the transparent face mask of the side turn signal lamp of the traditional automobile rearview mirror with a material with low light transmittance, and integrates the design and processing with the auxiliary mirror shell 1 or the decorative cover 2. When the rearview mirror is viewed from the outside, the transparent turn signal lamp part cannot be obviously seen, so that the turn signal lamp is hidden and the integrated appearance of the rearview mirror is realized.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the rearview mirror of the automobile with hidden side turn signal lamp comprises a light-emitting light guide 3 (emitting turn signal light), a secondary mirror housing 1, and a decorative cover 2. The secondary mirror housing 1 comprises a side turn signal lamp mask area 11 and a non-light-transmitting area 21 ( Figure 1 ), or the decorative cover 2 includes a side turn signal lamp mask area 11 and a non-light-transmitting area 21 ( Figure 2 The side turn signal lamp mask area 11 is made of low-transmittance smoked PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) material, and the non-light-transmitting area 21 is made of opaque PC (polycarbonate) material. The smoked low-transmittance side turn signal lamp mask area 11 and the non-light-transmitting area 21 are integrated into a two-color injection molding, and the two areas are made of different materials but similar colors.

[0022] The color of the non-light-transmitting area 21 of the secondary mirror housing 1 or the decorative cover 2 is preferably black, so that the side turn signal lamp area can achieve the best hiding effect.

[0023] Embodiment 2

[0024] The material transmittance of the side turn signal lamp mask area 11 of the first embodiment is preferably 15%. At the same time, the number of light guide LEDs of the side turn signal lamp is increased, the power of the light guide LED is increased, the brightness of the light guide 3 is improved, and the spacing between the light guide teeth is 1mm-2mm to increase the light efficiency utilization rate, so as to ensure that the lighting effect is still good when the transmittance is only 15%, and the regulatory parameters of the side turn signal lamp are still met.

[0025] The light transmittance and LED power jointly affect the lighting effect of the side turn lamp. According to the above preferred light transmittance and light guide parameters, the rearview mirror can achieve the best match between hiding effect and cost.

[0026] The non-light-transmitting area 21 of the secondary mirror housing 1 or the decorative cover 2 of the above embodiments is preferably made of ASA (impact-modified resin). The ASA material has high impact resistance, high temperature resistance, and anti-static properties, and is extremely suitable for the use of rearview mirrors.

[0027] Compared with the partitioned splicing appearance of the mirror shell and the transparent turn signal area that are clearly visible in traditional rearview mirrors, the side turn signal mask area 11 of the automobile rearview mirror of the utility model and the non-light-transmitting area 21 of the auxiliary mirror shell 1 or the decorative cover 2 are integrated into a two-color injection molding. They have different materials but similar or identical colors. The two areas are almost integrated, the hiding effect of the side turn signal area is better, and the overall visual effect of the automobile rearview mirror is better and more beautiful.

[0028] The above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
