DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, an automotive electronic rearview mirror comprises a main bracket 10, a camera module 30 arranged on the main bracket 10, a sub-bracket 12 is integrally formed on the rear side of the main bracket 10, and a lens assembly 40 is arranged inside the sub-bracket 12; a first groove 11 and a second groove 13 are respectively opened inside the main bracket 10 and the sub-bracket 12, and the lens assembly 40 is embedded in the second groove 13;

[0028] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the lens assembly 40 is rotatably arranged at the corner of the main bracket 10 and the auxiliary bracket 12. The lens assembly 40 includes a lens plate 401, and a lens body 403 is also embedded on the inner side of the lens plate 401; the lens body 403 can be detachably connected to the lens plate 401, and a rubber ring 402 is fixedly arranged on the periphery of the lens plate 401, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, when the lens assembly 40 is fixed in the second groove 13, the lens assembly 40 can be stuck in the second groove 13 by the rubber ring 402 to prevent the lens assembly 40 from being separated from the second groove 13 when the car encounters a bumpy road section during driving, and a connecting piece 405 is also integrally formed on one side of the lens plate 401, and a main shaft 406 is also arranged at the corner of the main bracket 10 and the auxiliary bracket 12, and the connecting piece 405 is rotatably arranged on the outside of the main shaft 406, so that the lens body 403 loaded on the lens plate 401 can rotate along the main shaft 406;

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, when the electronic module encounters electromagnetic interference or other damage, the rearview mirror cannot work normally. At this time, the lens assembly 40 can be rotated to the first groove 11 to be used as a rearview mirror to observe the situation of the driving section. A hand buckle groove 407 is also opened on one side of the lens plate 401. The lens plate 401 is buckled out of the second groove 13 through the hand buckle groove 407, and the lens plate 401 is rotated along the axis of the main shaft 406 to fix the lens plate 401 in the second groove 13. At this time, the lens body 403 faces the rear of the vehicle body; the lens body 403 can be used to observe the road conditions;

[0030] In order to prevent the lens assembly 40 from shaking during driving, a baffle assembly 20 is provided on the main bracket 10 to fix the lens body 403. Figure 4-5 As shown, the baffle assembly 20 includes a movable groove 204 provided on the side wall of the first groove 11, a fixed shaft 203 is fixedly installed in the movable groove 204, and a baffle body 201 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the fixed shaft 203, wherein a torsion spring 202 or other elastic member is provided between the fixed shaft 203 and the baffle body 201 to realize the resetting of the baffle body 201, and a card slot 404 is provided on the side of the lens plate 401 away from the hand buckle groove 407, and the lens plate 401 can be rotated into the first groove 11. Under the action of the lens plate 401, the baffle body 201 is rotated downward along the fixed shaft 203 into the movable groove 204, and when the baffle body 201 is no longer pressed by the lens plate 401, the baffle body 201 is reset and carded into the card slot 404 provided on the inner side of the lens plate 401 through the action of the torsion spring 202, so that the lens body 403 can be fixed to serve as a rearview mirror.
