Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile manufacturing, in particular to a communication module bracket, a rearview mirror and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of society and the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, consumers' demand for cars has far exceeded the basic function of transportation, and they are pursuing a more intelligent and convenient car experience. In this context, vehicles with advanced data communication technology are quietly becoming the new favorite of the market, just like the extension of smart life. Major automobile OEMs have gradually incorporated cutting-edge wireless technologies such as NFC (Near Field Communication) or Bluetooth into the research and development and design of new models, aiming to use external devices such as smartphones or NFC cards as car keys to achieve a series of operations such as keyless entry, unlocking and even starting of the vehicle, which greatly simplifies the use process of traditional car keys and brings unprecedented convenience and efficiency to users.

[0003] In order to achieve this function, a communication module that supports functions such as NFC and Bluetooth connection is usually placed inside the vehicle's rearview mirror. Specifically, manufacturers will install a special bracket inside the rearview mirror to firmly fix these modules with complex communication functions. However, in actual applications, due to slight deviations in the manufacturing process, it is often difficult for the bracket and the communication module to fit perfectly, resulting in a gap, which in turn causes unnecessary collisions and abnormal noises when the vehicle door is closed, affecting the user's driving experience.

[0004] What is even more complicated is that even if some brackets can securely fix the communication module in the initial stage, over time, the impact force caused by frequent door closing actions will gradually cause wear between the bracket and the module, aggravating the formation of gaps, and ultimately making it difficult to solve the problem of collision and abnormal noise when closing the door. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the related art. The present invention provides a communication module bracket and a vehicle.

[0006] The utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A communication module bracket is used for arranging the communication module in a rearview mirror, comprising a bracket, a clamping assembly and a tensioning assembly.

[0008] The bracket is arranged in the rearview mirror, and a mounting groove corresponding to the communication module is opened on the bracket for placing the communication module; the clamping assembly is arranged on the bracket for limiting the relative position of the communication module and the mounting groove; the tensioning assembly is arranged at the inner bottom of the mounting groove, and the tensioning assembly is used to work together with the clamping assembly to clamp and fix the communication module.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the clamping assembly includes an elastic rod and a claw, one end of the elastic rod is connected to the side wall of the mounting slot, and the claw is correspondingly arranged at the end of the elastic rod away from the mounting slot. After the communication module is installed in the mounting slot, the claw can be clamped on the end surface of the communication module away from the bracket, so as to limit the relative position of the communication module and the mounting slot.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a plurality of elastic rods are provided, and the elastic rods are correspondingly arranged in pairs on two opposite sides of the installation groove.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the tensioning assembly includes an elastic member, a tensioning hole corresponding to the elastic member is opened at the bottom of the installation groove, the elastic member is arranged on the side wall of the tensioning hole, and a tensioning protrusion is provided on the end surface of the elastic member close to the installation groove.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a plurality of the elastic members are provided, and the plurality of the elastic members are evenly distributed at the bottom of the installation groove.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the depth of the mounting groove is not less than the thickness of the communication module.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a plurality of elastic ribs are evenly distributed on the inner side wall of the installation groove.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, avoidance grooves are provided on opposite sides of the installation groove.

[0016] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the bracket is provided with a connecting seat corresponding to the internal shape of the rearview mirror, which is used for fixed connection with the rearview mirror.

[0017] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the various components of the communication module bracket are integrally formed.

[0018] The utility model also provides a rearview mirror, comprising a communication module bracket as described in any one of the above.

[0019] The utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising the rearview mirror described above.

[0020] Compared with the related art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] The communication module bracket provided by the utility model shows extremely high convenience during the installation process. Specifically, during installation, the user first needs to place the communication module in the preset installation groove on the bracket. Subsequently, the communication module is fixed in the installation groove using a clamping assembly. By integrating a tensioning assembly at the bottom of the installation groove, the tensioning assembly applies a tightening force from the bottom while the communication module is fixed by the clamping assembly, and forms a combined force with the clamping assembly, thereby realizing a double clamping fixation of the communication module. This design not only enhances the stability of the communication module in the installation groove, but also ensures that even if the car encounters bumps or vibrations during driving, the communication module can remain relatively fixed with the installation groove, effectively preventing safety hazards or performance degradation caused by looseness.

[0022] Furthermore, even if there are slight deviations in the size of the bracket, the tensioning assembly can always provide a stable tightening force for the communication module, ensuring that the installed communication module can always fit tightly into the installation slot.

[0023] Furthermore, in order to solve the problem of vibration in the rearview mirror area caused by frequent opening and closing of the door in daily vehicle use, the tensioning assembly of the utility model reserves sufficient tightening force margin. This means that after being subjected to vibration for a long time, the tensioning assembly can still maintain sufficient tightening force to ensure that the connection between the communication module and the mounting slot is stable and not loose. This feature significantly reduces the abnormal noise caused by the loose communication module, providing users with a quieter and more comfortable driving environment, thereby comprehensively improving the user's driving experience.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a communication module bracket for arranging the communication module 100 in the rearview mirror, including a bracket 200, a clamping assembly 300, and a tensioning assembly 400.

[0037] The bracket 200 is arranged in the rearview mirror, and an installation groove 210 corresponding to the communication module 100 is opened on the bracket 200 for placing the communication module 100. Specifically, the communication module 100 has a wireless connection function such as NFC (near field communication) or Bluetooth, which is used to simplify and facilitate user control of the vehicle; the clamping component 300 is arranged on the bracket 200, and is used to limit the relative position of the communication module 100 and the installation groove 210; the tensioning component 400 is arranged at the inner bottom of the installation groove 210, and the tensioning component 400 is used to work together with the clamping component 300 to clamp and fix the communication module 100.

[0038] When installing the communication module bracket provided in this embodiment, the user first needs to place the communication module 100 in the preset installation groove 210 on the bracket 200. Then, the communication module 100 is fixed in the installation groove 210 by using the clamping assembly 300. By integrating the tensioning assembly 400 at the bottom of the installation groove 210, the tensioning assembly 400 applies a top tightening force from the bottom while the communication module 100 is fixed by the clamping assembly 300, and forms a combined force with the clamping assembly 300, thereby realizing the double clamping and fixing of the communication module 100. This design not only enhances the stability of the communication module 100 in the installation groove 210, but also ensures that even if the car encounters bumps or vibrations during driving, the communication module 100 can remain relatively fixed with the installation groove 210, effectively preventing safety hazards or performance degradation caused by looseness. Moreover, even if there is a slight deviation in the size of the bracket 200, the tensioning assembly 400 can always provide a stable top tightening force for the communication module 100, ensuring that the installed communication module 100 can always fit tightly in the installation groove 210.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to solve the problem of vibration in the rearview mirror area caused by frequent opening and closing of the vehicle door in daily use, the tensioning assembly 400 of this embodiment reserves sufficient tightening force margin. This means that after being subjected to vibration for a long time, the tensioning assembly 400 can still maintain sufficient tightening force to ensure that the connection between the communication module 100 and the mounting slot 210 is stable and not loose.

[0040] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 300 includes an elastic rod 310 and a claw 320, one end of the elastic rod 310 is connected to the side wall of the mounting slot 210, and the claw 320 is correspondingly arranged at the end of the elastic rod 310 away from the mounting slot 210. After the communication module 100 is installed in the mounting slot 210, the claw 320 can be clamped on the end surface of the communication module 100 away from the bracket 200, which is used to limit the relative position of the communication module 100 and the mounting slot 210; by setting the corresponding elastic rod 310 and claw 320, the communication module 100 can be clamped on the end surface of the communication module 100 away from the bracket 200 when it is installed in the mounting slot 210. When placing and installing, the claw 320 is squeezed by the communication module 100 and avoids the communication module 100 due to the elasticity of the elastic rod 310. After the communication module 100 is completely placed or installed in the installation groove 210, the claw 320 will return to the initial position under the elastic force of the elastic rod 310, and block the direction of the communication module 100 from leaving the installation groove 210, thereby limiting the relative position of the communication module 100 and the installation groove 210. The entire operation process of installing and locking the communication module 100 is simple and convenient, which is convenient for improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the communication module 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, a plurality of elastic rods 310 are provided, and these elastic rods 310 are correspondingly installed on two opposite sides of the installation slot 210. By providing corresponding claws 320 for each pair of elastic rods 310, uniform clamping and limiting of the communication module 100 is achieved, thereby ensuring the reliability of limiting the communication module 100.

[0042] In some embodiments, the tensioning assembly 400 includes an elastic member 410, a tensioning hole 211 corresponding to the elastic member 410 is opened at the bottom of the mounting groove 210, the elastic member 410 is arranged on the side wall of the tensioning hole 211, and a tensioning protrusion 420 is arranged on the end surface of the elastic member 410 close to the mounting groove 210; when the communication module 100 is placed in the mounting groove 210, when the communication module 100 is slowly guided into the mounting groove 210, its bottom will gradually approach and contact the tensioning protrusion 420. As the communication module 100 goes deeper, the pressure on the tensioning protrusion 420 gradually increases, and then the elastic member 410 is squeezed through the lever effect, causing it to undergo elastic deformation. This process is gradual and controllable, which not only ensures the smooth progress of the installation, but also effectively alleviates the impact force that may be generated during the installation process. When the communication module 100 is fully installed in place, the elastic member 410 that has undergone elastic deformation before begins to exert its strong restoring force. This force acts directly on the communication module 100 through the tensioning protrusion 420, forming an upward thrust. At the same time, the clamping assembly in the mounting slot 210 also works synchronously to firmly clamp the communication module 100 from the other side. The two work together to form a stable and flexible limit clamping mechanism, ensuring that the communication module 100 can be tightly and securely fixed in the mounting slot 210 without being easily loosened or falling off.

[0043] In some embodiments, there are multiple elastic members 410, and the multiple elastic members 410 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the installation groove 210, so as to provide a more even tightening force for the communication module 100; this evenly distributed arrangement not only ensures that the communication module 100 is subjected to even pressure from all directions during installation, avoiding deformation or damage caused by uneven local force, but also significantly improves the stability and reliability of installation. At the same time, the sharing effect of multiple elastic members 410 also reduces the burden of a single elastic member 410, extending the service life of the overall structure.

[0044] In some embodiments, the depth of the mounting groove 210 is not less than the thickness of the communication module 100, so that the communication module 100 can be completely installed into the mounting groove 210. This design detail ensures that the communication module 100 can be completely embedded in the mounting groove 210 without hindrance. This complete installation method not only forms a tightly fitting interface between the communication module 100 and the mounting groove 210, reducing the physical impact or external environmental factors that may be caused by the existence of the gap, but also greatly enhances the stability and safety of the installation of the communication module 100. Furthermore, when the communication module 100 is fully installed in the mounting groove 210, its periphery and bottom are effectively supported and protected, which helps to reduce the risk of damage caused by external factors such as accidental falls, vibrations or collisions.

[0045] In some embodiments, a plurality of elastic ribs 213 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the mounting slot 210 , so that when the communication module 100 is placed into the mounting slot 210 , the elastic ribs 213 can be squeezed to be tightly fitted with the inner wall of the mounting slot 210 .

[0046] In some embodiments, avoidance grooves 212 are provided on opposite sides of the installation groove 210. On the one hand, this is to facilitate the wiring port of the communication module 100 to extend out from the installation groove 210, and on the other hand, this is to facilitate the removal of the communication module 100 from the installation groove 210 for later maintenance.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bracket 200 is provided with a connecting seat 220 corresponding to the internal shape of the rearview mirror, which is used for fixed connection with the rearview mirror to facilitate adaptive connection between the bracket 200 and the interior of the rearview mirror.

[0048] In some embodiments, the various components of the communication module bracket are integrally formed, which is convenient for reducing processing steps and improving component production efficiency.

[0050] The utility model also provides a rearview mirror, which can be divided into a left exterior rearview mirror and a right interior rearview mirror according to its different setting positions, wherein the communication module 100 is generally arranged in the left rearview mirror close to the driving position of the car, including the communication module bracket described in Example 1, and the communication module bracket is installed in the left rearview mirror. The rearview mirror has all the beneficial effects of the rearview mirror connection structure, which will not be described in detail here.
