[0046] The terms "upper", "lower", etc. described in the present utility model with directional indications shall all be based on the Figure 1 "upper", "lower", etc. directions in the

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] As Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a motor mounting structure for a rearview mirror, which is used to fix the motor 1 inside the rearview mirror housing of a vehicle. The motor mounting structure includes a fixing cover 2, and an accommodating space matching the motor 1 is formed inside the fixing cover 2. The fixing cover 2 is fixedly wrapped around the outside of the motor 1 through the accommodating space (that is, the motor 1 is arranged inside the accommodating space, and the outer wall of the motor 1 can be in contact and fixed with the inner wall of the fixing cover 2); a screwing mounting position 2013 and a clamping mounting position are arranged on the fixing cover 2. A first screw 3 is arranged at the screwing mounting position 2013, and a clamping structure is arranged at the clamping mounting position to connect the fixing cover 2 with the rearview mirror housing through the cooperation of the first screw 3 and the clamping structure.

[0049] In this application, a fixing cover 2 is fixedly wrapped around the outside of the motor 1. Since an accommodating space matching the motor 1 is formed inside the fixing cover 2, a relatively stable connection relationship between the fixing cover 2 and the motor 1 can be ensured. After the motor 1 is installed inside the rearview mirror housing of the vehicle through the fixing cover 2, good installation stability of the motor 1 can be ensured; in addition, due to the setting of the fixing cover 2, the motor 1 does not need to be directly connected to the rearview mirror housing of the vehicle. Instead, a screwing mounting position 2013 and a clamping mounting position are arranged on the fixing cover 2, and the fixing cover 2 is connected with the rearview mirror housing through the corresponding first screw 3 and the clamping structure. There is no need to specifically set fixing holes or connection structures on the motor. The method of fixing the motor through the fixing cover 2 is more convenient for the disassembly, replacement of the motor 1, and will not damage the external structure of the motor 1, ensuring the product quality of the electric rearview mirror after molding, ensuring that the motor 1 has a long service life, and improving the user experience.

[0050] In an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the clamping structure includes a hook foot 2014 with an "L"-shaped cross-section arranged on the outer wall of the fixing cover 2. A clamping portion 402 is preset on the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing. The open end of the hook foot 2014 can be inserted into the clamping portion 402, so that the hook foot 2014 and the clamping portion 402 are cooperatively clamped. Among them, the clamping portion 402 can be, but is not limited to, a clamping groove or a clamping hole arranged on the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing, as long as it can be cooperatively clamped with the hook foot 2014.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 、 Figures 2 to 7As shown, the fixing cover 2 has both a screwed mounting position 2013 and a clamped mounting position. The screwed mounting position 2013 is located on one side of the fixing cover 2, and the clamped mounting position is located on the other side of the fixing cover 2 opposite to the screwed mounting position 2013. In the case of having both the screwed mounting position 2013 and the clamped mounting position, when assembling the fixing cover 2 with the rearview mirror housing, first, the hook feet 2014 on the clamped mounting position are engaged and clamped with the clamping portion 402 on the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing. Then, the fixing cover 2 is fixedly connected to the rearview mirror housing through the first screw 3 provided on the screwed mounting position 2013. This fixing method can not only ensure the stable connection between the fixing cover 2 and the rearview mirror housing, but also facilitate the disassembly of the fixing cover 2, which is convenient for the disassembly and replacement of the motor 1 inside it.

[0052] In an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1 to 7 shown, the fixing cover 2 includes an upper cover body 201 and a lower cover body 202. The upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 each have an inner concave side surface. The inner concave side surface of the upper cover body 201 is disposed opposite to the inner concave side surface of the lower cover body 202. By snapping and splicing the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202, a receiving space is enclosed between the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202. Among them, the contour of the inner concave side surface of the upper cover body 201 and the contour of the inner concave side surface of the lower cover body 202 respectively match the outer contour of the motor 1, so that the motor 1 is stably installed in the receiving space.

[0053] Furthermore, as Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 6 shown, one side of the upper cover body 201 is provided with a first extension portion 2011 extending away from the receiving space, and the other side of the upper cover body 201 opposite to the first extension portion 2011 is provided with a second extension portion 2012 extending away from the receiving space. Among the first extension portion 2011 and the second extension portion 2012, one is provided with a screwed mounting position 2013, and the other is provided with a clamped mounting position. The upper cover body 201 is connected to the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing through the first screw 3 on the screwed mounting position 2013 and the clamping structure on the clamped mounting. By providing two fixing points on both sides of the upper cover body 201, the fixing cover 2 can be firmly connected to the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing, and at the same time, the setting of the fixing points is minimized, saving materials, and being convenient for disassembly and assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, three, four, or even more fixing points can also be set. Although it has a better fixing effect, the fixing method with two fixing points is more convenient for disassembly and assembly, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the motor.

[0054] Furthermore, as Figure 1 、 Figure 7As shown, when the upper cover 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing, the lower cover 202 is located between the upper cover 201 and the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing. Thus, through the fixation between the upper cover 201 and the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing, the upper cover 201 presses the lower cover 202 towards the inner wall direction of the rearview mirror housing, so that the lower cover 202 can be pressed against the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing, which can play a role in pressing and positioning the lower cover 202, and further ensure the stability of the connection between the lower cover 202 and the upper cover 201.

[0055] In an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 、 Figures 4 to 7 shown, a plurality of fixing holes 2015 are further provided on the outer wall of the upper cover 201. Second screws are respectively arranged in the plurality of fixing holes 2015, and the upper cover 201 is connected to the inner wall of the rearview mirror housing through the second screws, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the upper cover 201 and the rearview mirror housing. Among them, the number and the setting position of the fixing holes 2015 can be set according to the specific shapes and structures of the upper cover 201 and the rearview mirror housing, as long as they can play a role in strengthening the upper cover 201 and the rearview mirror housing. The number and the specific setting position of the fixing holes 2015 are not limited herein.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown, the upper cover 201 is provided with a plurality of first hollow portions 2016, and the lower cover 202 is provided with a plurality of second hollow portions 2021. The settings of the first hollow portions 2016 and the second hollow portions 2021 will neither affect the installation and fixation of the motor 1 nor make the fixing cover 2 more lightweight, thus helping to reduce the overall weight of the rearview mirror, reduce the energy consumption required to drive the rearview mirror to rotate, and also conform to the existing lightweight design concept.

[0057] In an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are detachably connected through a snap - fit structure, which facilitates the assembly and separation of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, and the motor 1 inside can be disassembled, assembled and replaced at any time according to needs.

[0058] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown, the snap - fit structure includes a slot 2017 provided on one of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 and a protrusion 2022 provided on the other one. The protrusion 2022 can be snapped into the slot 2017, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202.

[0059] In another specific embodiment of the present utility model, the clamping structure includes a plug rod provided on one of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 and a plug hole provided on the other one of them. The plug rod can be inserted into the plug hole, so as to realize the detachable connection between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202.

[0060] Certainly, in some embodiments of the present utility model, there is also a clamping structure in which the clamping groove 2017 and the convex block 2022 cooperate between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, and a plugging structure in which the plug rod and the plug hole cooperate. Of course, multiple clamping structures in which the clamping groove 2017 and the convex block 2022 cooperate or multiple plugging structures in which the plug rod and the plug hole cooperate can also be provided simultaneously.

[0061] The characteristics and advantages of the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror of the present utility model are as follows:

[0062] First, for the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror, a fixing cover 2 is fixedly covered on the outside of the motor 1. After the motor 1 is mounted in the rearview mirror housing of the vehicle through the fixing cover 2, good mounting stability of the motor 1 can be ensured.

[0063] Second, for the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror, during the mounting process of the motor 1, the fixing cover 2 and the rearview mirror housing are connected through the cooperation of the first screw 3 and the clamping structure, which is convenient for the disassembly, replacement of the motor 1, and will not damage the external structure of the motor 1, ensuring the product quality of the electric rearview mirror after molding.

The motor 1 is used to drive the vehicle rearview mirror to rotate, and the motor 1 is fixedly mounted in the rearview mirror housing through the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror.

[0066] In an optional embodiment of the present utility model, the rearview mirror housing includes a lower mirror housing 4 and an upper mirror housing. The lower mirror housing 4 and the upper mirror housing (not shown) are buckled and spliced to form an installation space between the lower mirror housing 4 and the upper mirror housing. The motor 1 is fixedly mounted in the installation space through the motor mounting structure.

[0067] Furthermore, as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, a plurality of positioning ribs 401 are provided on the inner wall of the lower mirror housing 4 and / or the upper mirror housing. The arrangement positions of the plurality of positioning ribs 401 are adapted to the outer contour of the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror, so as to clamp the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror between the plurality of positioning ribs 401, thereby limiting the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror and ensuring that the motor mounting structure for the rearview mirror is stably mounted in the rearview mirror housing.
