[0029] The implementation principle of an unfoldable blind spot mirror for commercial vehicles in an embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: By pulling the connecting arm 3, the annular crescent wheel 6 on the connecting arm 3 is separated from the annular crescent wheel 6 on the mounting seat 4, and then the connecting arm 3 is rotated, thus completing the folding of the lens barrel 1 on the connecting arm 3. During the pulling process of the connecting arm 3, the spring 501 will be compressed and have elastic potential energy. When the connecting arm 3 is released, the spring 501 will stretch. Since one side of the spring 501 is restricted by the gasket 502, the other side of the spring 501 can push the connecting arm 3 to move and fit the mounting seat 4, so that the two groups of annular crescent wheels 6 are engaged and contacted again, ensuring the stability of the angle after the connecting arm 3 is folded. Through this structural design, it is convenient for the user to fold the blind spot mirror, and the folding angle can be freely set, with stronger flexibility. At the same time, the folded angle has good stability under the action of the engaging mechanism 5 and will not loosen and rotate.
