Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive rearview mirrors, in particular to a rearview mirror connection structure, an automotive rearview mirror and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Automotive rearview mirrors are distributed on the left and right sides of the front of the vehicle and in front of the driver's cab. They are not only part of the vehicle's appearance, but also the "third perspective" during the driver's driving process. These rearview mirrors are like the driver's "second pair of eyes", accurately capturing and reflecting visual information from the rear, side and even part of the lower area, greatly broadening the driver's field of vision, enabling them to anticipate in advance in a complex and changeable road environment, thus effectively avoiding potential dangers and ensuring driving safety.

[0003] Given the importance of rearview mirrors to driving safety, countries around the world have listed them as standard configurations for vehicle manufacturing and have strictly regulated the installation positions, visible ranges and adjustment mechanisms of rearview mirrors to ensure that each driver can flexibly adjust the angle of the rearview mirror according to their own needs and driving habits to obtain the best visual effect.

[0004] However, in the design of traditional rearview mirrors, the combination method of the lens and the mirror housing often uses the method of directly bonding with double-sided tape. The disadvantage of this method is that the surface of the mirror housing is mostly made of materials with delicate spraying treatment. Directly pasting the double-sided tape on the painted surface may not only affect the bonding strength due to material incompatibility, but also there is a risk of the lens loosening or even falling off after long-term use, posing a hidden danger to driving safety. In addition, once the lens is damaged or needs to be replaced, since the existing design mostly regards the lens and the mirror housing as an integral component, users often have to replace the whole unit, which not only increases the replacement difficulty, but also due to the complex spraying process of the mirror housing, leads to high after-sales maintenance costs, bringing unnecessary economic burdens to consumers. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the related technologies, and the present utility model provides a rearview mirror connection structure and an automotive rearview mirror.

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

[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the connecting component includes a connecting bump and a limiting member. The connecting bump is arranged on the end face of the lens holder close to the mounting plate. A connecting groove corresponding to the connecting bump is formed on the mounting plate. The limiting member is arranged on the end face of the mounting plate facing away from the lens holder, and the limiting member is located on the side of the corresponding connecting groove.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, an elastic pad is laid on the end face of the mounting plate close to the lens holder.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the limiting member is an elastic limiting hook, and a limiting hole corresponding to the elastic limiting hook is formed on the side wall of the connecting bump. When the connecting bump is arranged through the connecting groove, the hook tip of the elastic limiting hook can fall into the limiting hole to limit the relative position of the connecting bump and the connecting groove.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the connecting component further includes a positioning column.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a rearview mirror connection structure, which is arranged on the mirror housing 100 of the rearview mirror. The rearview mirror connection structure includes a mirror support 200, a lens 300, an adhesive plate 400, and a connection component 500.

[0037] The mirror support 200 is arranged on the mounting plate 110 of the mirror housing 100; the lens 300 is arranged on the end face of the mirror support 200 facing away from the mirror housing 100; the adhesive plate 400 is arranged between the mirror support 200 and the lens 300 and is adhesively bonded to the lens 300 and the mirror support 200 respectively; the connection component 500 is arranged on the mirror support 200, and the mirror support 200 is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 110 through the connection component 500.

[0038] For the rearview mirror connection structure provided by this embodiment, during the assembly stage before the vehicle leaves the factory, the mirror support 200 and the lens 300 can be tightly adhesively bonded through the adhesive plate 400, ensuring a firm connection between the lens 300 and the mirror support 200; then, by using the connection component 500, the mirror support 200 can be mounted on the mounting plate 110 of the rearview mirror housing 100.

[0039] During the use of the vehicle, if the lens 300 is damaged or needs to be replaced, by simply releasing the connection and cooperation of the connection component 500 between the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110 of the mirror housing 100, the mirror holder 200 together with the damaged lens 300 can be quickly separated from the mirror housing 100 without the need for complex tools or cumbersome steps. Subsequently, simply reinstalling the corresponding model mirror holder 200 with a new lens 300 on the mounting plate 110 of the mirror housing 100 can complete the replacement. The whole process is easy to operate, significantly reducing the maintenance difficulty and improving the maintenance efficiency. Moreover, this design allows only the damaged lens 300 and the corresponding mirror holder 200 to be replaced without replacing the entire rearview mirror assembly. This local replacement method not only greatly reduces the use of maintenance materials but also avoids the additional costs and time consumption that may be brought about by replacing the entire rearview mirror, greatly reducing the maintenance cost. At the same time, due to the detachable cooperation design between the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110, the disassembly process will not cause any damage to the rearview mirror housing 100, further ensuring the integrity and service life of the rearview mirror, thus achieving a double reduction in maintenance costs.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connection component 500 includes a connection bump 510 and a limiting member. The connection bump 510 is provided on the end face of the mirror holder 200 close to the mounting plate 110. A connection groove 111 corresponding to the connection bump 510 is formed on the mounting plate 110. The limiting member is provided on the end face of the mounting plate 110 facing away from the mirror holder 200, and the limiting member is located on the side of the corresponding connection groove 111. The connection bump 510 is arranged to pass through the connection groove 111, and the limiting member can limit the position of the connection bump 510 relative to the connection groove 111. By setting the above structure, the whole connection process between the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110 is simple and efficient: First, align the connection bump 510 and insert it into the connection groove 111 on the mounting plate 110. Subsequently, the limiting member automatically takes effect and locks the connection bump 510 in the connection groove 111. This design not only simplifies the installation steps and improves the installation efficiency but also greatly enhances the reliability and durability of the connection. Even under long-term use or under a large external force impact, the connection can be maintained firmly, ensuring the close fit between the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110.

[0041] In some embodiments, an elastic pad is laid on the end surface of the mounting plate 110 close to the mirror holder 200, so that after the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110 are fitted and connected through the connecting assembly 500, the pre-tightening force provided by the elastic pad puts the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110 in a pre-tightened state, which can effectively prevent relative shaking between the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110 due to looseness, thereby ensuring a reliable connection between the mirror holder 200 and the mounting plate 110 and reducing noise generation.

[0042] In some embodiments, the limiting member is an elastic limiting hook 520, and a limiting hole 511 corresponding to the elastic limiting hook 520 is provided on the side wall of the connecting protrusion 510; when the connecting protrusion 510 is inserted into the connecting groove 111, the hook tip of the elastic limiting hook 520 can fall into the limiting hole 511, thereby limiting the relative position of the connecting protrusion 510 and the connecting groove 111; when the connecting protrusion 510 is gradually pushed into the connecting groove 111, the hook tip of the elastic limiting hook 520 will gradually approach and finally fall into the corresponding limiting hole 511, and this process is automatic and smooth, without the need for additional operation or tools. Once the hook tip completely enters the limiting hole 511, it will use its own elastic force to clamp the edge of the limiting hole 511, thereby effectively limiting the movement of the connecting protrusion 510 in the connecting groove 111. This design not only simplifies the connection process and improves the connection efficiency, but also significantly enhances the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting component 500 also includes a positioning column 530, and the positioning column 530 is arranged on the end surface of the mirror support 200 close to the mounting plate 110, and a positioning hole 112 corresponding to the positioning column 530 is opened on the mounting plate 110; when the mirror support 200 and the mounting plate 110 are connected and installed, the positioning column 530 will first penetrate into the positioning hole 112 to provide guidance for the mutual approach of the mirror support 200 and the mounting plate 110, thereby facilitating the rapid alignment and installation of the mirror support 200 and the mounting plate 110, thereby improving the installation efficiency; and through the cooperation between the positioning column 530 and the positioning hole 112, it is possible to avoid the mirror support 200 and the mounting plate 110 from being offset due to external force after the installation is completed.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of connecting bumps 510 and positioning holes 112 are respectively provided. The connecting bumps 510 are evenly distributed at the edge of the end face of the lens holder 200, ensuring an even distribution of the connection points between the lens holder 200 and the mounting plate 110, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the overall structure. The positioning holes 112 are evenly distributed at the center of the end face of the mounting plate 110. By adopting the principle of uniform distribution, such a design not only facilitates quick alignment during installation, but also effectively reduces the assembly difficulty caused by position deviation, improves the assembly efficiency, and does not interfere with the connection between the lens holder 200 and the mounting plate 110.

[0045] In some embodiments, adhesive layers are respectively provided on both sides of the adhesive plate 400, facilitating sufficient adhesion to the lens 300 and the lens holder 200 respectively.

[0046] In some embodiments, the end face of the lens holder 200 close to the adhesive plate 400 is a matte surface, improving the bonding reliability between the lens holder 200 and the adhesive plate 400.

[0047] In some embodiments, a heating element is provided in the adhesive plate 400. When the lens 300 fogs up during use, the lens 300 can be heated to remove fog through the heating of the heating element. Specifically, the heating element is a heating coil evenly arranged in the adhesive plate 400.

[0048] In some embodiments, mounting holes 410 are respectively formed in the adhesive plate 400 and the lens holder 200. As reference points, they greatly simplify the alignment process between the adhesive plate 400 and the lens holder 200, enabling the user to easily achieve precise matching of the two during installation and avoiding installation problems caused by position deviation. On the other hand, it facilitates the wire of the heating element to pass through the mounting hole 410 and be connected to the vehicle body.
