DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer and more specific, the content of the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, rather than to limit the utility model. It should also be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, rather than all the contents.

[0021] This embodiment proposes an exterior rearview mirror installation structure, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the exterior rearview mirror 1 includes a shell 101 and a mirror surface 102 detachably mounted on the front side of the shell 101, wherein a hemispherical mounting groove 103 is provided on the back side of the shell 101, and further includes a connecting member 2, wherein one end of the connecting member 2 is provided with a hemispherical head 201 for matching with the mounting groove 103, and the other end of the connecting member 2 is provided with a connecting arm kit 3 for fixing to a target vehicle.

[0022] In this embodiment, by setting the mounting groove 103 on the back of the exterior rearview mirror 1, the user only needs to replace the connecting arm kit 3 including the hemispherical head 201, and assemble the exterior rearview mirror 1 with the connecting piece 2 through the mounting groove 103, without having to replace the exterior rearview mirror 1, thus saving the user's use cost. Similarly, the manufacturer can also design different connecting arm kits 3 according to the above-mentioned mounting groove 103 and the hemispherical head 201, thus reducing R&D expenses.

[0023] In this embodiment, the connection structure between the mounting groove 103 and the hemispherical head 201 can be various, as long as a stable connection between the exterior rearview mirror 1 and the connecting member 2 can be achieved. Figure 2 and 3As shown, a first fixing groove 202 is provided on one side of the connecting member 2, a second fixing groove 203 is provided on one side of the connecting member 2, a first light hole 204 is provided between the first fixing groove 202 and the second fixing groove 203, a second light hole 205 is provided in the middle of the hemispherical head 201, a third light hole 206 is provided in the middle of the mounting groove 103, and the spherical part of the hemispherical head 201 is inserted into the mounting groove 103, and the plane part of the hemispherical head 201 is inserted into the second fixing groove 203, and the fastener 207 is inserted from the first fixing groove 202, passes through the first light hole 204, the second light hole 205 and the third light hole 206 in sequence, and finally enters the shell 101, and is fixedly connected with the corresponding locking member 208. In this example, the first fixing groove 202 is used to accommodate the end of the fastener 207 and indicate the installation depth of the fastener 207 during the installation process. The second fixing groove 203 is used to accommodate the plane part of the hemispherical head 201, and the installation groove 103 is used for the spherical part of the hemispherical head 201. Finally, the fastener 207 passes through the coaxially arranged first light hole 204, the second light hole 205 and the third light hole 206 and enters the housing 101 to form an effective fixation with the corresponding locking member 208. Assuming that the connecting member 2 is in a fixed state, when the user rotates the exterior rearview mirror 1, the fastener 207 and the locking member 208 rotate synchronously, and the hemispherical head 201 provides a relatively small sliding friction force to prevent the exterior rearview mirror 1 from being difficult to rotate. It should be noted that in this solution, due to the design of the fastener 207, the hemispherical head 201 can only rotate along the plane.

[0024] Furthermore, based on the above solution, continue to refer to Figure 2 , further comprising a thrust bearing 209, which is disposed between the second fixing groove 203 and the flat portion of the hemispherical head 201. In this solution, in order to further reduce the friction between the hemispherical head 201 and the second fixing groove 203, a thrust bearing 209 is disposed between the second fixing groove 203 and the flat portion of the hemispherical head 201. The thrust bearing is a special bearing used to bear axial force, that is, a bearing for force in a direction parallel to the axis.

[0025] The locking member 208 is arranged in the housing 101. Specifically, the inner side of the housing 101 is provided with a third fixing groove 104. As shown in the figure, the third optical hole 206 is located at the center of the third fixing groove 104. The locking member 208 can be installed in the third fixing groove 104 by using an adhesive. In one example, the fastener 207 is a bolt, and the locking member 208 is a nut. After the bolt passes through the first optical hole 204, the second optical hole 205 and the third optical hole 206 in sequence and enters the third fixing groove 104, the user can screw the bolt into the nut by continuing to screw in the bolt, thereby fixing the connector 2 on the outer side of the housing 101.

[0026] Optional, continue to Figure 2A light-transmitting groove 105 is provided on the back of the shell 101, and a light strip (not shown) is provided inside the shell 101 to increase the applicable scenarios of the product.

[0027] Different vehicle models need to be adapted to different connecting arm kits 3. This embodiment illustrates the connection relationship between the connecting arm kit 3 and the connecting member 2 by showing the structures of two different connecting arm kits 3 as examples.

[0028] In one example, if Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the connecting arm kit 3 includes a rotating arm 301 hinged to the connecting member 2, and a fixing member 302 hinged to the rotating arm 301, the fixing member 302 is configured in a block shape, the rotating arm 301 has at least two rotational degrees of freedom, a fixing column 303 is provided on one side of the fixing member 302, and a mounting hole 304 for fixing to a target vehicle is provided at the axis of the fixing column 303, the mounting hole 304 runs through the entire fixing member 302, and an insertion port 305 is formed from the other side of the fixing member 302, and also includes a ball head 306, and a threaded extension bolt 307 installed at one end of the ball head 306, a limiting cap 308 is provided in the middle of the threaded extension bolt 307, and the threaded extension bolt 307 is screwed into the mounting hole 304 from the insertion port 305. The above-mentioned connecting arm kit 3, especially the fixing part 302, is specially adapted for Jeep's 2018-2023 JL off-road vehicles. When in use, first insert the fixing column 303 into the mounting hole of the original vehicle, and then screw the threaded extension bolt 307 from the insertion port 305 into the mounting hole 304 to complete the fixation of the connecting arm kit 3. Users can subsequently install peripherals such as mobile phone holders through the ball head 306.

[0029] In another example, if Figure 5 As shown, the connecting arm kit 3 includes a rotating arm 301 hinged to the connecting member 2, and a fixing member 302 hinged to the rotating arm 301, the rotating arm 301 has at least two rotational degrees of freedom, the fixing member 302 is set in a right triangle, and the center of the fixing member 302 is provided with a mounting hole 304 for fixing to the target vehicle. The above-mentioned connecting arm kit 3, especially the fixing member 302, is specially adapted to the JL off-road vehicle of Jeep 2018-2024. When in use, the mounting hole 304 on the right triangle fixing member 302 is first pressed against the mounting hole of the original vehicle, and then fixed by bolts.
