However, most of these positions are inside the vehicle, and they will be affected by electromagnetic interference from high-power electrical components inside the vehicle, resulting in unstable signals. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an external rearview mirror for a vehicle and the vehicle that can achieve better performance of the antenna module.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

The bracket is installed inside the housing, and an installation plane is provided on the bracket. Wherein, the installation plane is arranged at an angle with the horizontal plane, the antenna module is received inside the housing and installed on the installation plane; the angle between the installation plane and the horizontal plane is configured as θ, and the value range of θ is set as: [0, ±5°].

[0006] In one embodiment, along the vertical direction of the vehicle, the distance between the installation plane and the bottom of the housing is h, and h ≥ 50 mm.

[0007] It can be understood that the distance between the installation plane and the bottom of the housing is set as h, so that the installation plane has a relatively high position inside the housing, that is, the antenna module has a certain distance from the bottom of the housing, which can avoid water accumulation inside the housing and cause damage to the antenna module, and improve the safety and service life of the antenna module.

[0008] In one embodiment, the antenna module is detachably installed on the installation plane.

[0009] It can be understood that by setting the antenna module to be detachably installed on the installation plane, it is convenient for the installation and disassembly of the antenna module, making the assembly and maintenance more convenient.

[0010] In one embodiment, mounting holes are formed in the mounting plane, and connecting holes are formed in the antenna module; the automotive exterior rearview mirror further includes a fastener, one end of which sequentially passes through the mounting hole and the connecting hole, and detachably connects the antenna module and the bracket.

[0012] It can be understood that by providing the positioning member, during the installation process of the antenna module, the antenna module can be assisted in positioning, so that it is more convenient for the quick installation of the antenna module; at the same time, by using the positioning member, the installed antenna module can be further limited to provide the stability of its installation.

[0013] In one embodiment, the number of the positioning members is set to be multiple, and the multiple positioning members are arranged at different positions on the mounting plane.

[0014] It can be understood that the positioning members are arranged at different positions on the mounting plane, that is, on this mounting plane, the antenna module can be limited at different positions and from multiple angles by multiple positioning members, so as to improve the reliability and accuracy of the positioning of the antenna module.

[0015] In one embodiment, a reinforcing member is further provided on the bracket, the reinforcing member is located on a side surface of the bracket away from the mounting plane, and the position of the reinforcing member is correspondingly arranged with the position of the mounting plane.

[0016] It can be understood that the reinforcing member is correspondingly arranged with the mounting plane, which can improve the structural strength of the bracket at a local part of the mounting plane, so as to be beneficial to the stability and reliability of the installation of the antenna module.

[0017] In one embodiment, the housing includes a first housing and a second housing, the second housing is located above the first housing along the vertical direction of the vehicle and is connected to each other, and the second housing is made of a plastic part.

[0018] It can be understood that the second housing is made of a plastic part, so that compared with the area of the vehicle body, there is no sheet metal shielding, and the signal antenna module transmits and receives signals better.

[0019] In one embodiment, the bracket includes a first frame body and a second frame body, the first frame body is installed at the bottom of the housing, and the second frame body is located above the first frame body along the vertical direction of the vehicle; wherein, the mounting plane is located on the second frame body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0033] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following will provide a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there can also be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and similar expressions used in the specification of the present application are only for illustrative purposes and do not represent the only implementation manner.

[0035] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0036] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature may be in direct contact with the second feature "on" or "under" the second feature, or the first feature and the second feature may be in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on top of" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the first feature has a higher horizontal height than the second feature. The first feature being "below", "beneath", and "underneath" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the first feature has a lower horizontal height than the second feature.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of the present application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0038] As Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the present application provides an automotive exterior rearview mirror 100, which includes a housing 10, a bracket 20, and an antenna module 30. The bracket 20 is installed inside the housing 10 and an installation plane 21 is provided on the bracket 20. Among them, the installation plane 21 is arranged at an angle with respect to the horizontal plane S. The antenna module 30 is received inside the housing 10 and installed on the installation plane 21. And, the angle between the installation plane 21 and the horizontal plane S is configured as θ, and the value range of θ is set as: [0, ±5°]. In this way, it can be ensured that the signal receiving surface of the antenna module 30 is opposite to the transmitted positioning signal, so as to effectively ensure that the antenna module 30 can receive more accurate positioning signals, making the performance of the antenna module 30 reach a better effect, and providing more accurate positioning signals for the vehicle.

[0039] It should be explained that taking the horizontal plane S as the reference object, along the vertical direction of the vehicle, tilting downward towards the lower part of the vehicle is negative, represented by “﹣”, and tilting upward towards the upper part of the vehicle is positive, represented by “+”. Therefore, +5° means that the installation plane 21 is tilted upward relative to the horizontal plane S towards the upper part of the vehicle, and -5° means that the installation plane 21 is tilted downward relative to the horizontal plane S towards the lower part of the vehicle.

[0040] Of course, the value of θ cannot be too large. Therefore, the upper surface of the antenna module 30 is the signal receiving surface, and the positioning signal is transmitted from space (which can be regarded as being transmitted vertically downward from the air). Then, when the upper surface is in a pure horizontal state, it is the best for receiving the positioning signal. The larger the angle between the upper surface and the horizontal plane, the more likely it is that the positioning signal and the signal receiving surface are at an angle, resulting in poor reception of the positioning signal. Therefore, in the present application, the value range of θ is set as: [0, ±5°].

[0041] Please refer to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, preferably, the values that θ can take are -1°, -2°, -3°, -4°, -5°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, etc. Of course, it is not limited to this. Within the value range of θ, the value of θ can be selected and set according to the actual situation.

[0042] In an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The second housing 12 is located above the first housing 11 along the vertical direction of the vehicle and is connected to each other, and the second housing 12 is made of a plastic part. It should be noted that the antenna module 30 is arranged inside the housing 10, and the antenna module 30 needs to transmit signals, while the plastic part itself has no influence on the signal transmission. Therefore, using the plastic part here can ensure that the antenna module 30 receives and transmits signals without interference, improving the stability and reliability of signal transmission.

[0043] Preferably, along the vertical direction of the vehicle, the first housing 11 and the second housing can be detachably connected, facilitating the disassembly and connection between the first housing 11 and the second housing. Here, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be detachably connected by snap members, threaded members, etc.

[0044] In one embodiment, along the vertical direction of the vehicle, the distance between the mounting plane 21 and the bottom of the housing 10 is h, where h ≥ 50 mm. It can be understood that setting the distance between the mounting plane 21 and the bottom of the housing 10 as h positions the mounting plane 21 at a high position within the housing 10, that is, it ensures a certain distance between the antenna module 30 and the bottom of the housing 10. This can prevent water accumulation inside the housing 10 from damaging the antenna module 30, improving the safety and lifespan of the antenna module 30 during use.

[0045] Preferably, the value of h can be set to 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm, etc. Of course, this is not limited to these values. Within the range of h, the value of h can be selected and set according to actual circumstances.

[0046] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , a reinforcing member 22 is further provided on the bracket 20. The reinforcing member 22 is located on the side of the bracket 20 away from the mounting plane 21, and the position of the reinforcing member 22 corresponds to the position of the mounting plane 21. In this way, the structural strength of the bracket 20 at the local part of the mounting plane 21 can be improved through the reinforcing member 22, which is beneficial to the stability and reliability of the installation of the antenna module 30.

[0047] Furthermore, the reinforcing member 22 is configured as a reinforcing rib. The number of the reinforcing members 22 can be multiple, and the multiple reinforcing members 22 are arranged at intervals to further improve the local structural strength of the bracket 20 at the mounting plane 21.

[0048] Preferably, the reinforcing member 22 can be integrally formed with the bracket 20. In this way, not only is the processing and production more convenient, but also through the integral setting, the strengthening effect of the reinforcing member 22 on the strength of the mounting plane 21 can be further improved.

[0049] Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bracket 20 includes a first frame body 23 and a second frame body 24. The first frame body 23 is installed at the bottom of the housing 10 in the vertical direction, and the second frame body 24 is located above the first frame body 23 along the vertical direction of the vehicle; among them, the mounting plane 21 is located on the second frame body 24. In this way, the mounting plane 21 is further elevated by the first frame body 23, making the mounting plane 21 away from the bottom of the housing 10 in the vertical direction to further prevent water accumulation from damaging the antenna module 30.

[0050] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the antenna module 30 is detachably mounted on the mounting plane 21. This facilitates the installation and removal of the antenna module 30, making assembly and maintenance more convenient.

[0051] Furthermore, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, mounting holes 211 are provided on the mounting plane 21, and connection holes 31 are provided on the antenna module 30; the automotive exterior rearview mirror 100 further includes a fastener 40, one end of the fastener 40 sequentially passes through the mounting hole 211 and the connection hole 31, and detachably connects the antenna module 30 and the bracket 20. That is, in this way of the fastener 40, the antenna module 30 is fixed on the mounting plane 21. Here, the fastener 40 is configured as a threaded member such as a bolt or a screw.

[0052] Of course, the detachable manner of mounting the antenna module 30 on the mounting plane 21 is not limited to this. For example, the antenna module 30 can also be mounted by means of snap connection, hoop, etc.

[0053] Furthermore, please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a positioning member 212 is further provided on the mounting plane 21, and the positioning member 212 is used to position the antenna module 30. In this way, by providing the positioning member 212, during the installation process of the antenna module 30, the antenna module 30 can be assisted in positioning, thus making it more convenient for the rapid installation of the antenna module 30; at the same time, by using the positioning member 212, the installed antenna module 30 can be further limited, providing the stability of its installation.

[0054] Preferably, the number of the positioning members 212 is set to be multiple, and the multiple positioning members 212 are provided at different positions on the mounting plane 21. It can be understood that the positioning members 212 are provided at different positions on the mounting plane 21, that is, on this mounting plane 21, the antenna module 30 can be limited at different positions and from multiple angles by the multiple positioning members 212, so as to improve the reliability and accuracy of the positioning of the antenna module 30.

[0055] This application also provides an automobile, which includes the automotive exterior rearview mirror 100 in any of the above embodiments.

[0056] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combinations of these technical features do not conflict, they should all be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0057] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
