[0027] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another. In addition, the term "or" as used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items, as appropriate.

[0028] See Figure 1-2 , is an electronic rearview mirror of this embodiment, which is used to be installed on the vehicle body 100; wherein the electronic rearview mirror includes:

[0029] The body 1 has a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other. The first surface of the body 1 faces the driver inside the vehicle body, and the second surface of the body 1 faces the vehicle body 100. The second surface of the body 1 has a protruding slot 11;

[0030] The bracket 2 has a first section 21 and a second section 22 facing each other. The first section 21 of the bracket 2 has a mounting hole, the position of the mounting hole matches the slot 11, and the mounting hole and the slot 11 are connected by a fastener 3; the second section 22 of the bracket 2 is fixed to the vehicle body;

[0031] The side of the card slot 11 facing away from the body 1 has a U-shaped opening 111, and the size of the U-shaped opening 111 matches the rod of the fastener 3, so that the fastener 3 can be buckled into the card slot 11 through the U-shaped opening 111 of the card slot;

[0032] Furthermore, in an electronic rearview mirror, there are multiple combinations of mounting holes, slots 11 , and fasteners 3 .

[0033] Regarding the above structure, during installation, the second section 22 of the bracket 2 must first be connected and fixed to the vehicle body 100. Then, the fastener 3 must be pre-threaded into the mounting hole of the first section 21 of the bracket 2. At this point, the U-shaped opening 111 of the slot 11 on the body 1 can be aligned with the stem of the fastener 3 and inserted into the body 1, so that the stem of the fastener 3 is embedded in the U-shaped opening 111. At the same time, due to the presence of multiple combinations of mounting holes, slots 11, and fasteners 3, multiple fasteners 3 can be simultaneously inserted into the U-shaped opening 111 of a corresponding slot 11, thereby positioning the body 1 relative to the bracket 2. After positioning the body 1, all fasteners 3 can be tightened to secure the body 1 relative to the bracket 2, completing the installation of the electronic rearview mirror of this embodiment.

[0034] During the above-mentioned use, with the help of the U-shaped openings 111 of the multiple sets of card slots 11 to guide the corresponding fastener 3 rods, the positioning of the main body 1 relative to the bracket 2 is easily and conveniently achieved, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the electronic rearview mirror. Moreover, since there are multiple sets of connection points between the main body 1 and the bracket 2, the connection strength between the main body 1 and the bracket 2 is also higher.

[0035] Furthermore, the number of the combination of mounting holes, slots 11, and fasteners 3 is two, and the two combinations of mounting holes, slots 11, and fasteners 3 are arranged along the longitudinal axis of the body 1. At the same time, the distance between the two combinations of mounting holes, slots 11, and fasteners 3 and the shortest side of the body is the same. Figure 1 The main body 1 is a finished frame screen, which is generally set to a rectangle with two long sides and two short sides. The two card slots 11 are arranged side by side in the middle position of the longitudinal central axis of the main body 1. That is to say, the line between the two card slots 11 is the same as the line connecting the center lines of the two short sides of the main body 1, and is arranged in the middle position of the line. Under the above structure, the main body 1 with a longer long side can be better supported by the two card slots 11.

[0036] It is worth noting that the arrangement relationship of the two slots 11 is not unique. In another embodiment, due to the shape of the main body 1 itself or the connection relationship and angle with the vehicle body 100, the two slots 11 can be flexibly designed according to the specific design style of the A-pillar, or considering the avoidance of the wiring harness inside the A-pillar.

[0037] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, side reinforcing ribs 112 are provided at the connection between the slot 11 and the body 1, and the size of the side reinforcing ribs 112 gradually increases from the bracket 2 to the body 1. In other words, the side reinforcing ribs 112 are provided as a right-angled trapezoidal segment adjacent to the slot 11. At the same time, in this embodiment, two symmetrical side reinforcing ribs 112 are provided on both sides of each slot 11, so that both sides of the slot 11 can be effectively supported to cope with the shear force caused by the weight of the body 1. At the same time, the two symmetrical side reinforcing ribs 112 on both sides of each slot 11 are also connected by a bottom reinforcing rib 113, and the bottom reinforcing rib 113 is provided on the side of the slot 11 facing the bracket 2. Through the provision of the bottom reinforcing rib 113, the slot 11 can resist the shear force in the other direction perpendicular to the direction between the two side reinforcing ribs 112, thereby achieving higher strength of the slot 11 itself.

[0038] Furthermore, the card slot 11 is configured to be a sheet extending in the extension direction of the longitudinal center axis of the main body 1. That is to say, in addition to the assistance of the above-mentioned multiple side reinforcement ribs 112 and bottom reinforcement ribs 113, the overall shape of the card slot 11 is still a sheet structure protruding from the main body 1, which further saves the space between the main body 1 and the bracket 2, and can achieve better stability for the rectangular main body 1.

[0039] Of course, in another embodiment, there are the following differences. The card slot 11 of the main body 1 can also be set as a columnar structure protruding from the vehicle body 100, or a semicircular structure. As long as the connection relationship between the U-shaped opening 111 and the bracket 2 can be achieved, it can be flexibly arranged according to the shape requirements of the A-pillar.

[0040] The contents disclosed above are only preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention are included in the scope of the patent application of the present invention.

[0041] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0042] Although the present application has been described through embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit of the present application. It is intended that the appended embodiments include these modifications and variations without departing from the present application.
