[0036] 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 the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] The function of the exterior mirror is to provide the driver with a side and rear view to ensure driving safety. The maximum width of the vehicle is also at the exterior mirror. The distance that the exterior mirror protrudes from the door directly determines the maximum width of the vehicle. The exterior mirror can generally be rotated between the open position and the folded position. When driving, the exterior mirror is also rotated to the open position so that the driver can observe the side and rear situation normally through the exterior mirror. When parking or passing through narrow sections, the exterior mirror can be rotated to the folded position to reduce the maximum width of the vehicle and prevent the exterior mirror from being bumped.

[0038] In this embodiment, according to Figure 5 The XYZ rectangular coordinate system established in the invention is defined as follows: the side located in the positive direction of the X axis is defined as the front, and the side located in the negative direction of the X axis is defined as the back; the side located in the positive direction of the Y axis is defined as the left, and the side located in the negative direction of the Y axis is defined as the right; the side located in the positive direction of the Z axis is defined as the top, and the side located in the negative direction of the Z axis is defined as the bottom. In the following embodiments, the horizontal direction is the direction parallel to the ground when the vehicle is parked on the ground, and the vertical direction is the direction perpendicular to the ground when the vehicle is parked on the ground.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The current vehicle includes a vehicle body 91' and an exterior rearview mirror 100' mounted on the vehicle body 91'. The exterior rearview mirror 100' includes a mirror housing 10' and a mirror neck 20'. The mirror housing 10' includes a shell 11', a base 12' and a lens. The lens is mounted on the shell 11'. The base 12' is connected to the bottom of the shell 11'. The base 12' extends in the horizontal direction. The mirror neck 20' is mounted on the vehicle body. A drive motor is installed in the mirror neck 20'. The base 12' is connected to the output end of the drive motor. The drive motor can drive the mirror housing 10' to rotate between an open position and a folded position. Among them, the rotation axis 101' of the mirror housing 10' extends in the vertical direction. The total width of the vehicle is the width of the vehicle body plus the width of the two exterior rearview mirrors 100'. Since the mirror housing 10' has a certain thickness, when the mirror housing 10' rotates toward the folded position, in order to prevent the mirror housing 10' from scratching the vehicle body, the rotation axis 101' of the mirror housing 10' is far away from the vehicle body. Therefore, even if the mirror housing 10' rotates to the folded state, the thickness direction of the exterior rearview mirror 100' is still horizontal, and the total width of the vehicle is still relatively wide, affecting parking safety. In addition, the image of the central control screen in the vehicle on the window glass coincides with the path of the light from the driver's eyes to the exterior rearview mirror 100', which affects the driver's observation of the rear vehicle and reduces driving safety.

[0040] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figure 3 An embodiment of the present application provides an exterior rearview mirror 100 and a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a vehicle body 90 and the exterior rearview mirror 100, two exterior rearview mirrors 100 are provided, and the two exterior rearview mirrors 100 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the vehicle body 90, wherein the vehicle body 90 comprises a vehicle body 91 and a front door 92, two front doors 92 are provided, and the two front doors 92 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle body 91, and each exterior rearview mirror 100 is respectively installed on a front door 92.

[0041] Please combine Figure 4 The front door 92 is formed with a door body 901 and a door frame 902 which are connected as one body. The door body 901 and the door frame 902 are together arranged to form a window 903. The front of the door body 901 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 91 to realize the opening and closing of the front door 92. The door frame 902 is inclined inwardly relative to the door body 901, and a window glass can be installed in the door frame 902.

[0042] See also Figure 4The front door 92 includes a door inner panel 921 and a door outer panel 922 connected to each other, and the exterior rearview mirror 100 is installed on the door outer panel 922. The door inner panel 921 is provided with an avoidance hole 9211 and a plurality of guard plate connection holes 9212, and the plurality of guard plate connection holes 9212 are all located between the avoidance hole 9211 and the front edge of the door body 901. The door outer panel 922 has an installation area 9221 opposite to the avoidance hole 9211, and the door outer panel 922 is provided with an installation hole 9222 in the installation area 9221. The exterior rearview mirror 100 can be installed in the installation area 9221 through the installation hole 9222, and the door inner panel 921 can avoid the installation area 9221 through the avoidance hole 9211, so as to expose the installation hole 9222 to the outside, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the exterior rearview mirror 100. Among them, the door inner panel 921 protrudes inward in the area between the mounting hole 9222 and the upper edge of the door body 901, and the door inner panel 921 and the door outer panel 922 are surrounded by a cross beam 904 between the mounting hole 9222 and the upper edge of the door body 901. A cavity is formed in the cross beam 904. The cross beam 904 has improved anti-bending ability due to the protrusion of the door inner panel 921 toward the inside, thereby improving the structural strength of the upper edge of the vehicle body in the horizontal direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 Since the door frame 902 is connected to the front edge of the door body 901, the structural strength of the portion of the door body 901 located in the extension direction of the door frame 902 directly affects the structural strength of the door frame 902. In this embodiment, the avoidance hole 9211 is located below the vehicle window 903 to avoid affecting the structural strength of the door frame 902.

[0044] An A-pillar 9213 may be formed between the avoidance hole 9211 and the front edge of the door body 901. The A-pillar 9213 is located in the downward extension direction of the door frame 902. When the door frame 902 is hit, the force on the door frame 902 may be transmitted to the A-pillar 9213. The horizontal width of the A-pillar 9213 directly determines the structural strength of the A-pillar 9213. If the width of the A-pillar 9213 is too narrow, the A-pillar 9213 may be easily broken when the door frame 902 is hit, causing the door frame 902 to bend inward. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 The distance between the avoidance hole 9211 and the front edge of the door body 901 is 150-200 mm. Under this distance, the installation area 9221 can be as close to the front edge of the door body 901 as possible to avoid the image of the central control screen in the window glass as much as possible, while ensuring that the A-pillar 9213 can withstand a certain range of bending force, thereby improving the structural strength of the door body 901.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 4The distance between the avoidance hole 9211 and the upper edge of the door body 901 is 35-50 mm. Under this distance, the avoidance hole 9211 can avoid the crossbeam 904. If the distance is too narrow, the avoidance hole 9211 may occupy the part of the door inner plate 921 that protrudes inward, resulting in a decrease in the anti-bending ability of the part that protrudes inward, affecting the structural strength of the door body 901 in the horizontal direction.

[0046] The vehicle can shorten the total width of the vehicle when in a parking state by arranging the exterior rearview mirror 100 .

[0047] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 The exterior rearview mirror 100 in this embodiment includes a mirror housing 10 and a mirror neck 20 . The mirror housing 10 is installed on the vehicle body 90 through the mirror neck 20 , specifically, on the door outer panel 922 of the door body 901 .

[0048] The mirror housing 10 includes a housing 11, a base 12, and a lens 13. The base 12 is connected to the bottom of the housing 11, and the lens 13 is connected to the housing 11. The base 12 extends in a horizontal direction, and the base 12 has a first end and a second end in its extending direction, the first end is close to the vehicle body 90, and the second end is far away from the vehicle body 90. The width direction of the mirror housing 10 is the direction from the first end to the second end of the base 12, and the thickness direction is the direction perpendicular to the lens 13.

[0049] The mirror neck 20 includes a connection seat 21 and a drive motor. The connection seat 21 is connected to the vehicle body 90, specifically to the installation area 9221 (combined with the front door 92) of the front door 92. Figure 4 ), the driving motor is arranged in the connecting seat 21, the output end of the driving motor is connected to the oblique lower part of the first end of the base 12, the output end of the driving motor can be an output shaft, the output shaft is arranged obliquely, and the driving motor can drive the mirror housing 10 to rotate between the open position and the folded position. Among them, the extension direction of the rotation axis 101 of the base 12 forms an acute angle with the vertical direction. When the mirror housing 10 is in the open position, the lens 13 faces the rear of the vehicle body 90, so that the driver can view the side and rear situation through the lens 13. Please combine Figure 7 When the mirror housing 10 is in the folded position, the lens 13 faces obliquely upward of the vehicle body 90 .

[0050] The exterior rearview mirror 100 is configured by tilting the rotation axis 101 of the mirror housing 10, and the lens 13 is oriented obliquely upward toward the vehicle body 90 when the mirror housing 10 is in the folded position, so that the thickness direction of the mirror housing 10 is also oriented obliquely upward toward the vehicle body 90, and the bottom of the mirror housing 10 is obliquely upward and toward the vehicle window 903 (combined with the outer rearview mirror 100). Figure 7 ) direction, due to the door frame 902 (combined Figure 7 ) relative to the door body 901 (combined Figure 7) is tilted inward, so the window 903 (combined with Figure 7 ) can avoid the bottom of the mirror housing 10 in the folded position, so that the mirror housing 10 in the folded position is closer to the vehicle body 90 than the mirror housing 10' of the current exterior rearview mirror 100', thereby reducing the total width of the vehicle when the mirror housing 10 is in the folded position. It should be noted that when the mirror housing 10 is in the open position, the total width of the vehicle in this embodiment is equal to the total width of the vehicle in the current technology.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 8 The base 12 extends from the connection with the connecting seat 21 toward the oblique rear of the vehicle body 90, and the lens 13 extends in the same direction as the base 12. Therefore, when the mirror housing 10 is in the open position, the lens 13 can be tilted toward the direction of the vehicle body 90 to facilitate the driver to observe the side and rear situation of the vehicle through the lens 13.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 8 The connection seat 21 extends from the connection with the vehicle body toward the oblique front of the vehicle body 90, and the base 12 is connected to the extension end of the connection seat 21 away from the vehicle body 91. In this way, the mirror housing 10 can be installed without adjusting the installation area 9221 (combined with Figure 4 ) position, it is closer to the front edge of the front door 92 to avoid the image of the central control screen in the vehicle in the window glass of the front door 92 overlapping with the path of the light observed by the driver through the lens 13, making it easier for the driver to observe the rear vehicle through the exterior rearview mirror 100, thereby improving driving safety.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The angle between the extending direction of the rotation axis 101 of the base 12 and the vertical direction is 20°-45°. Under this angle, the bottom edge of the housing 11 can be roughly flush with the bottom edge of the door frame 902, so that the mirror housing 10 can fully utilize the space evacuated by the window 903 to rotate. Among them, the distance between the mirror housing 10 and the front door 92 when it is in the folded position can be equal to the distance between the mirror housing 10 and the front door 92 when it is in the folded position in the current technology. In this case, the maximum width of the vehicle can be reduced by about 38 mm relative to the vehicle in the current technology.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The housing 11 includes a side plate 111 and a cover plate 112. The base 12 and the cover plate 112 are respectively connected to the two sides of the side plate 111 and are together arranged to form a mounting groove. The lens 13 is arranged at the notch of the mounting groove. The cover plate 112 is in an arched hood shape, so that the top of the housing 11 is a rounded tip, which improves the aesthetics of the exterior rearview mirror 100. At the same time, when the mirror housing 10 is in the folded position, the rounded tip can make the horizontal thickness of the inclined mirror housing 10 smaller, thereby further shortening the overall width of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the side plate 111 and the cover plate 112 are integrally formed.

[0055] Specifically, the side panel 111 includes a first side portion 1111, a second side portion 1112 and a third side portion 1113 which are connected in sequence, and the first side portion 1111, the second side portion 1112 and the third side portion 1113 are together arranged to form a V-shaped groove, wherein the first side portion 1111 and the second side portion 1112 are substantially planes, and the connection between the first side portion 1111 and the second side portion 1112 is an arc transition, and the third side portion 1113 is substantially an arc surface, and the connection with the second side portion 1112 is an arc transition. When the mirror housing 10 is in the open position, the first side portion 1111 is perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the second side portion 1112 and the third side portion 1113 may also be perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the angle between the first side portion 1111 and the second side portion 1112 is an acute angle, and the angle between the second side portion 1112 and the third side portion 1113 is an obtuse angle, so as to obtain a streamlined appearance of the mirror housing 10. When the mirror housing 10 is in the open position, the first side portion 1111 faces the vehicle body 90 and is in a vertical state, and the connection line between the first side portion 1111 and the base 12 extends toward the front of the vehicle body 90. When the mirror housing 10 is in the folded position, the connection line between the first side portion 1111 and the bottom plate extends obliquely upward to the vehicle body 90. Compared with the mirror housing 10 in the prior art in which the connection line between the first side portion 1111 and the bottom plate extends horizontally toward the vehicle body 90 when the mirror housing 10 is in the folded position, the horizontal width of the mirror housing 10 in this embodiment is reduced when it is in the folded state, thereby reducing the total width of the vehicle.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 The base 12 has a first rotating surface 121 at the first end, and the first rotating surface 121 is perpendicular to the rotating axis 101 of the base 12 (combined with Figure 6 ), that is, the first rotating surface 121 is located obliquely below the base 12 and is inclined toward the vehicle body 90 (combined with Figure 7 ), the base 12 has a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity can accommodate the wiring 23, the wiring 23 can be electrically connected to the light-emitting element installed on the mirror housing 10. The first rotating surface 121 is provided with a first through hole 122 that passes through the receiving cavity, and the first through hole 122 is used to avoid the driving motor. The connecting seat 21 has a back-facing body 90 (combined with Figure 7), the second rotating surface 211 is also perpendicular to the rotating axis 101 of the base 12, the connecting seat 21 has a mounting cavity and a second through hole penetrating the mounting cavity, the second rotating surface 211 is attached to the first rotating surface 121, the connecting seat 21 is rotatably connected to the base 12, when the mirror housing 10 rotates between the open position and the folded position, the first rotating surface 121 rotates relative to the second rotating surface 211. The first through hole 122 is connected to the second through hole, the driving motor is arranged in the mounting cavity, and penetrates the first through hole 122 and the second through hole. In this way, the driving motor can be accommodated in the connecting seat 21 and the base 12.

[0057] In some embodiments, the neck 20 further has a mounting surface 212, which is opposite to the second rotating surface 211 and is used to dock with the vehicle body 90. The distance between the center point of the second rotating surface 211 and the center point of the mounting surface 212 is 40-50 mm. At this distance, the connection seat 21 can accommodate the drive motor.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and only specifically describes the technical principle of the utility model. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the utility model in any way. Based on the explanation here, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model, and other specific implementation methods of the utility model that can be associated with the technicians in this field without creative labor, should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
