Specific embodiments

[0026] Next, in combination with specific embodiments, the present application will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following-described embodiments or technical features can be arbitrarily combined with each other to form new embodiments.

[0027] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that for orientation terms, if there are terms such as "center", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., the orientation and position relationships indicated are based on the orientation or position relationships shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of the present application.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0029] One of the preferred embodiments of the present application is as Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, an adjustable installation clearance rearview mirror includes a car door 1, a corner window 2, and a rearview mirror bracket 3. The corner window 2 is installed on the car door 1, and the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 is installed inside the car door 1 through an adjustment assembly 5. The upper end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 extends out of the car door 1 and abuts against the car door 1, and the extended part of the rearview mirror bracket 3 corresponds to and cooperates with the corner window 2.

[0030] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 shown in the figure, at the position where the rearview mirror bracket 3 abuts against the car door 1, we can set point A, and point A can be regarded as a "fulcrum"; the "Y" direction is along the left-right direction of the car door 1; the distance between the corner window 2 and the upper end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 is set as d1, and the distance between the car door 1 and the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 is set as d2. Of course, in order to improve the installation convenience and reduce the damage to the car door 1, an installation bracket 4 can be provided inside the car door 1, and then the adjustment assembly 5 is connected and cooperated with the installation bracket 4. At this time, d2 is the distance between the installation bracket 4 and the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3. Of course, in order to improve the sealing and stability of the cooperation between the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the corner window 2, a sealing gasket 6 can be provided between the two.

[0031] It can be understood that when adjusting the rearview mirror bracket 3, we only need to adjust the distance between the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the inner side of the car door 1 (installation bracket 4) through the adjustment assembly 5. At this time, the upper end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 will swing under the action of the above-mentioned "A" point, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the upper end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the corner window 2.

[0032] Exemplarily, as Figure 3 shown in the figure, when the assembly clearance between the shield (i.e., the upper end of the rearview mirror bracket 3) and the corner window 2 is greater than the ideal clearance value, the distance between the bottom mounting point and the car door 1 mounting sheet metal (installation bracket 4) is increased through the adjustment assembly 5 (i.e., d2 increases), so that the shield swings towards Y (right), and the clearance value becomes smaller (i.e., d1 decreases). When the assembly clearance between the shield and the corner window 2 is less than the ideal clearance value, the distance between the bottom mounting point and the car door 1 mounting sheet metal (installation bracket 4) is reduced through the adjustment assembly 5 (i.e., d2 decreases), so that the shield swings towards -Y (left), and the clearance value becomes larger (i.e., d1 increases). Furthermore, through the setting of the adjustment assembly 5, the installation spacing of the rearview mirror bracket 3 can be adjusted later, with good flexibility.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figure 8 shown in the figure, the adjustment assembly 5 includes an adjustment bolt 502 and a guide sleeve 501. The guide sleeve 501 is elastically clamped to the rearview mirror bracket 3, and the adjustment bolt 502 passes through the guide sleeve 501 and the rearview mirror bracket 3 and is connected and cooperated with the car door 1.

[0034] It can be understood that when adjusting the spacing, the adjusting bolt 502 can be tightened or loosened, thereby realizing the adjustment of the spacing between the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the inner side of the vehicle door 1. It should be known that when the adjusting bolt 502 is tightened: the spacing between the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the inner side of the vehicle door 1 becomes smaller; when the adjusting bolt 502 is loosened, the spacing between the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the inner side of the vehicle door 1 becomes larger.

[0035] It should be noted that the above-mentioned guide sleeve 501 mainly plays a role of support and protection. If the rearview mirror bracket 3 is directly connected to the mounting bracket 4 through the adjusting bolt 502, long-term use or accidental collision may cause loosening and deformation of the rearview mirror bracket 3; by connecting the guide sleeve 501 to the rearview mirror bracket 3, it can effectively prevent the rearview mirror bracket 3 from being damaged due to the direct action of the adjusting bolt 502, and improve the stability and durability of the overall structure. Of course, when adjusted to the limit position, that is, when the spacing between the lower end of the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the inner side of the vehicle door 1 is the smallest, the guide sleeve 501 will abut against the mounting bracket 4 at this time, which will limit the minimum limit position of the rearview mirror bracket 3 to prevent bending deformation caused by continuous adjustment of the rearview mirror bracket 3, so as to protect the rearview mirror bracket 3.

[0036] As we know, the guide sleeve 501 plays different roles in different positions. For example, the front end of the guide sleeve 501 is elastically engaged with the rearview mirror bracket 3, which is mainly to facilitate the installation of the adjusting bolt 502, while the rear end of the guide sleeve 501 is matched with the mounting bracket 4 to prevent deformation and damage of the rearview mirror bracket 3. Therefore, the actual use scenarios and force conditions of the two parts are different, and thus the service lives are different. If one of the parts is damaged, the entire guide sleeve 501 needs to be replaced, which increases the maintenance cost.

[0037] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, in one embodiment of the present application, as Figure 5 shown, the guide sleeve 501 includes a mounting member 5011 and a sleeve 5012. The mounting member 5011 is elastically engaged with the rearview mirror bracket 3, and the sleeve 5012 is adapted to cooperate with the inner side of the vehicle door 1 (mounting bracket 4). The sleeve 5012 and the mounting member 5011 are detachably installed.

[0038] Specifically, clamping grooves 7 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the mounting member 5011, and clamping blocks 8 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the sleeve 5012. The clamping blocks 8 are engaged with the clamping grooves 7, as Figure 6 shown in (b) of. That is to say, the mounting member 5011 and the sleeve 5012 are detachably connected by means of clamping; of course, the two can also be detachably connected by screws.

[0039] As Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown, the specific structure of the mounting member 5011 is as follows: As shown in (a) of Figure 6 , the mounting member 5011 includes a left inclined section 50111, a lower flat section 50112, and a right vertical section 50113 that are connected in sequence, and the three enclose a clamping cavity. As the name implies, the left inclined section 50111 is inclined towards the right vertical section 50113, the lower flat section 50112 is horizontally arranged, and the right vertical section 50113 is vertically arranged.

[0040] It can be understood that when installing the mounting member 5011, first pull the left inclined section 50111 away from the right vertical section 50113 (i.e., the left inclined section 50111 undergoes elastic deformation), so that the clamping cavity is opened, and then as shown in (c) of Figure 7 , move the mounting member 5011 towards the bottom end of the rearview mirror bracket 3. When the rearview mirror bracket 3 enters the clamping cavity for cooperation, the left inclined section 50111 abuts against the rearview mirror bracket 3 under the action of elastic force to achieve the quick clamping installation of the left inclined section 50111, as shown in (d) of Figure 7 .

[0041] Furthermore, in order to improve the installation efficiency of the mounting member 5011, as shown in Figure 6 , the upper end of the left inclined section 50111 is bent away from the right vertical section 50113, so that a clamping opening 50115 is formed between the upper end of the left inclined section 50111 and the right vertical section 50113. That is, the clamping opening 50115 is similar to a horn-shaped structure. In this way, when installing, there is no need to pull the left inclined section 50111 by hand. Under the extrusion and guiding action of the clamping opening 50115, the left inclined section 50111 can be automatically elastically deformed, thereby realizing the quick installation of the mounting member 5011 and greatly improving the convenience.

[0042] It should be known that the left inclined section 50111 mainly functions to abut and clamp. If it is directly matched with the adjusting bolt 502 in the later stage, the left inclined section 50111 is easily damaged by extrusion under the action of the adjusting bolt 502; therefore, the top end of the left inclined section 50111 can be bent downward to form a mounting portion 50114, and the mounting portion 50114 passes through the left inclined section 50111. After installation, the mounting portion 50114 will abut against the rearview mirror bracket 3, that is, at this time, the mounting portion 50114 is matched with the adjusting bolt 502, greatly improving the service life of the mounting member 5011.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 8As shown in the figure, the sleeve 5012 includes a first sleeve body 50121 and a second sleeve body 50122. The first sleeve body 50121 is sleeved and installed outside the second sleeve body 50122 through a limiting structure 9, and the first sleeve body 50121 can also adjust the distance between it and the second sleeve body 50122 under the action of the limiting structure 9.

[0044] It can be understood that for different models of the car door 1, the distance between the rearview mirror bracket 3 and the mounting bracket 4 is different. Therefore, the length of the sleeve 5012 is preferably adjustable to meet the installation requirements of different vehicle models.

[0045] Specifically, as Figure 8 shown in the figure, the limiting structure 9 includes a limiting block 901 and a plurality of limiting grooves 902. The limiting block 901 is arranged inside the first sleeve body 50121, and the limiting grooves 902 are arranged outside the second sleeve body 50122. The limiting block 901 is in snap-fit with the limiting grooves 902 to realize the quick disassembly, assembly and adjustment of the first sleeve body 50121 and the second sleeve body 50122.

[0046] It should be known that when the limiting block 901 is in cooperation with one of the limiting grooves 902, it corresponds to a model length of the sleeve 5012; and the more the number of the limiting grooves 902 is set, the larger the adjustable range of the model length of the sleeve 5012 is, and it can adapt to more types of vehicle models. Of course, the specific number of the limiting grooves 902 can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to improve the convenience when the limiting block 901 is in cooperation with the limiting grooves 902, the limiting grooves 902 are preferably of an annular structure. In this way, when the second sleeve body 50122 is inserted into the first sleeve body 50121 for installation, there is no need to consider the corresponding problem between the limiting block 901 and the limiting grooves 902, because the annular limiting grooves 902 are always corresponding to the limiting block 901.

[0048] The above describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only the principle of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, the present application will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present application claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
