DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a mirror housing hidden external rearview mirror, which includes a mounting bracket 1. One end of the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 2, and mounting holes are provided on the surface of the mounting seat 2. The other end of the mounting bracket 1 is fixedly connected to a mirror housing 3. A mirror cover 4 is arranged in the inner cavity of the mirror housing 3. A placement groove is provided on the surface of the mirror cover 4, and a lens 5 is arranged in the inner cavity of the placement groove. The outer surface of the mirror cover 4 is fitted and clamped with the inner cavity of the mirror housing 3. A hidden mirror ring 6 is arranged at the edge of the inner cavity of the mirror housing 3. The hidden mirror ring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mirror housing 3 through a fastening structure 7. The mirror housing 3 includes an upper housing 31 and a lower housing 32. The upper housing 31 and the lower housing 32 are fitted and clamped with each other through a clamping structure 8. The bottom end of the lower housing 32 is fixedly connected to the top end of the mounting bracket 1;

[0026] The hidden mirror ring 6 is bolted to the inner cavities of the upper housing 31 and the lower housing 32 through the fastening structure 7. Subsequently, the lens 5 is installed in the placement groove. The mirror cover 4 is inserted into the inner cavity of the lower housing 32 from top to bottom. Then, the upper housing 31 is taken and assembled and fixed with the lower housing 32 through the clamping structure 8, so that the mirror ring is hidden and the seam of the mirror ring cannot be seen, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the automotive external rearview mirror and enhancing the grade of the automotive external rearview mirror.

[0027] The fastening structure 7 includes a connecting block 71. A through hole is provided on the surface of the connecting block 71. A fastening bolt 72 is inserted into the inner cavity of the through hole of the connecting block 71. Through holes are provided at positions corresponding to the surface of the mirror housing 3 on the surface of the fastening bolt 72. The surface of the fastening bolt 72 is bolted and fixed to the inner cavity of the through hole of the mirror housing 3. A number of groups of connecting blocks 71 are provided, and the surfaces of the number of groups of connecting blocks 71 are all fixedly connected to the surface of the hidden mirror ring 6. The hidden mirror ring 6 is fixed in the inner cavity of the mirror housing 3 through the cooperation of the fastening bolt 72 and the connecting block 71, so that the mirror ring is hidden and the seam of the mirror ring cannot be seen.

[0028] The clamping structure 8 includes a clamping block 81 and an elastic clamping seat 82. The clamping block 81 is fixedly connected to the top end of the inner cavity of the lower housing 32, and the elastic clamping seat 82 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the lower housing 32. A notch is provided at a position corresponding to the surface of the elastic clamping seat 82 on the surface of the clamping block 81. The surface of the clamping block 81 is fitted and clamped with the inner cavity of the notch of the elastic clamping seat 82. When the upper housing 31 is inserted into the lower housing 32 from top to bottom, the clamping block 81 is inserted into the inner cavity of the notch of the elastic clamping seat 82 for fitting and clamping, so that the upper housing 31 and the lower housing 32 are assembled.

[0029] A number of groups of clamping blocks 81 are provided, and the shapes of the number of groups of clamping blocks 81 are all L-shaped. Through the arrangement of the clamping blocks 81, the stability after the elastic clamping seat 82 is clamped with the clamping blocks 81 is improved.

[0030] There are several sets of elastic clamping seats 82, and the number of several sets of elastic clamping seats 82 is equal to the number of clamping blocks 81. The bottom ends of several sets of elastic clamping seats 82 are arranged with inclined cutting surfaces. Through the arrangement of the bottom ends of the elastic clamping seats 82, the inclined cutting surfaces at the bottom ends of the elastic clamping seats 82 can slide on the surface of the clamping blocks 81, which provides convenience for the assembly operation between the upper shell 31 and the lower shell 32.

[0031] A support column 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the inner cavity of the lower shell 32. Through holes are formed at positions corresponding to the surface of the mirror cover 4 on the surface of the support column 9. The surface of the support column 9 is fitted and clamped with the inner cavity of the through hole of the mirror cover 4. Through the cooperation of the support column 9 and the through hole of the mirror cover 4, the stability of the mirror cover 4 in the inner cavity of the lower shell 32 is improved, and the mirror cover 4 is prevented from shaking in the inner cavity of the lower shell 32.

[0032] A fixing block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the upper shell 31. A fixing groove 11 is formed at a position corresponding to the positioning position of the surface of the mirror shell 3 on the surface of the fixing block 10. The surface of the fixing block 10 is fitted and clamped with the inner cavity of the fixing groove 11. Through the cooperation of the fixing block 10 and the fixing groove 11, the mirror cover 4 is fixed in the inner cavity of the lower shell 32, and the stability of the mirror cover 4 in the inner cavity of the lower shell 32 is improved.

[0033] There are several sets of fixing blocks 10, and several sets of fixing blocks 10 are equidistantly distributed in the inner cavity of the upper shell 31. Through the arrangement of the fixing blocks 10, the fixing effect of the lower shell 32 on the mirror cover 4 is improved.

[0034] During specific use: Insert the fastening bolt 72 into the inner cavity of the through hole of the connecting block 71, take the hidden mirror ring 6, and bolt the hidden mirror ring 6 to the inner cavities of the upper shell 31 and the lower shell 32 through the fastening bolt 72. Then take the lens 5 and place it in the placement groove, insert the mirror cover 4 into the lower shell 32 from top to bottom, so that the support column 9 is inserted into the inner cavity of the through hole of the mirror cover 4 for auxiliary fixation. Then take the upper cover and insert it into the lower shell 32 from top to bottom, so that the elastic clamping seat 82 moves downward to contact the clamping block 81. When the elastic clamping seat 82 moves, the bottom end of the clamping block 81 causes the clamping block 81 to move into the inner cavity of the notch of the elastic clamping seat 82 for fitting and clamping. At the same time, the fixing block 10 moves into the inner cavity of the fixing groove 11, completing the assembly work of the automotive exterior rearview mirror, hiding the mirror ring inside the mirror shell 3, making the split of the mirror ring invisible, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the automotive exterior rearview mirror and enhancing the grade of the automotive exterior rearview mirror.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
