Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a rearview mirror device and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, automotive rearview mirrors can be divided into physical and electronic mirrors based on their operating principles and technical features. They can also be categorized as foldable or non-foldable depending on whether they have a folding function. Foldable mirrors include manual and power-folding models. However, there are currently no hidden electronic rearview mirrors that integrate with the vehicle body. These mirrors lack integration with the vehicle's body, occupying the vehicle's lateral dimensions and making them susceptible to various issues such as parking scrapes and dynamic collisions. Furthermore, they present relatively high wind resistance, hindering their aesthetic appeal. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a rearview mirror device and a vehicle to solve the problem of rearview mirror occupying the lateral size of the vehicle, causing scratches during parking and dynamic collisions.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a rearview mirror device, comprising: a mounting component, having a mounting cavity, the mounting cavity having an opening, and the opening being arranged on the outer surface of the mounting component; a rearview mirror, comprising a rearview mirror body and a rearview mirror cover arranged at an angle, the intersection of the rearview mirror body and the rearview mirror cover being hinged on the side wall of the opening, the rearview mirror having a working state in which the rearview mirror cover is located at the opening and the rearview mirror body extends out of the opening, and the rearview mirror also having a hidden state in which the rearview mirror body is located at the opening; a driving member fixed on the mounting component; a connecting rod transmission mechanism connected to the rearview mirror cover and the driving end of the driving member, and the driving member drives the rearview mirror to switch between the working state and the hidden state through the connecting rod transmission mechanism.

[0009] In a possible implementation of the present application, a sliding groove is provided on the rearview mirror cover, and the sliding block is arranged in the sliding groove.

[0010] Benefits: The tight fit between the slider and the chute ensures accurate movement along the predetermined trajectory, making it highly reliable and less prone to failure. Proper lubrication minimizes friction between the slider and the chute, extending the life of the entire system.

[0011] In a possible implementation of the present application, limiting members are provided at both ends of the slide groove along its extension direction, and the limiting members are used to limit the movement range of the slider.

[0012] Beneficial effect: The moving range of the slider is limited by the limiter to prevent the slider from falling out of the slide groove.

[0013] In a possible implementation of the present application, the slider and the connecting rod are connected via a rotating pin.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The setting of the rotating pin can ensure the movement of the connecting rod relative to the slider, and is also easy to disassemble and install.

[0015] In a possible implementation of the present application, the rearview mirror further includes a camera disposed on the rearview mirror body.

[0016] Beneficial effect: The camera obtains the surrounding visual field information of the car, assists the driver in driving safely, and improves the safety of the driver in driving the vehicle.

[0017] In a possible implementation of the present application, the driving member is a driving motor.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The movement of the rearview mirror is driven by a drive motor, which has high efficiency, low noise, high precision, and is easy to control and maintain. At the same time, the environmental protection index of the motor drive is relatively high, and the efficiency of the motor drive can reach 90%-95%, with higher precision and response speed.

[0019] In a possible implementation of the present application, the rearview mirror body and the rearview mirror cover are integrally formed.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The one-piece rearview mirror has higher strength and durability, which can reduce manufacturing processes, lower production and assembly costs, and also reduce the cost of subsequent maintenance; it can reduce the possibility of water infiltration and improve the waterproof performance of the rearview mirror; it can provide a smoother appearance and enhance the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0021] In a possible implementation of the present application, the rearview mirror body and the rearview mirror cover are arranged vertically.

[0022] Beneficial effect: When the rearview mirror switches between the hidden state and the working state, the rearview mirror rotates 90 degrees, so that the rearview mirror body or rearview mirror cover of the rearview mirror is more coordinated with the overall design style of the vehicle, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0023] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising: the above-mentioned rearview mirror device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 , describing the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, a rearview mirror device is provided, including: a mounting component 1, a rearview mirror 2, a driving member 3 and a connecting rod transmission mechanism 4, the mounting component 1 has a mounting cavity, the mounting cavity has an opening 101, and the opening 101 is arranged on the outer surface of the mounting component 1; the rearview mirror 2 includes a rearview mirror body 201 and a rearview mirror cover 202 arranged at an angle, the intersection of the rearview mirror body 201 and the rearview mirror cover 202 is hinged on the side wall of the opening 101, the rearview mirror 2 has a working state in which the rearview mirror cover 202 is located at the opening 101 and the rearview mirror body 201 extends out of the opening 101, and the rearview mirror 2 also has a hidden state in which the rearview mirror body 201 is located at the opening 101; the driving member 3 is fixed on the mounting component 1; the connecting rod transmission mechanism 4 is connected to the rearview mirror cover 202 and the driving end of the driving member 3, and the driving member 3 drives the rearview mirror 2 to switch between the working state and the hidden state through the connecting rod transmission mechanism 4.

[0041] The rearview mirror device of this embodiment is provided with an opening 101 on the outer side surface of the mounting component 1. When there is no need to use the rearview mirror 2, the driving member 3 drives the rearview mirror 2 to switch from the working state to the hidden state through the connecting rod transmission mechanism 4. At this time, the rearview mirror body 201 is accommodated through the opening 101, so that the rearview mirror 2 and the mounting component 1 appear as a whole, without occupying the lateral size of the vehicle, thereby effectively solving the problem of the rearview mirror occupying the lateral size of the vehicle causing parking scratches and dynamic friction. It not only avoids the disadvantage of the lateral size occupation of the non-foldable rearview mirror, but also eliminates the mechanical appearance of the traditional non-foldable rearview mirror and foldable rearview mirror. The rearview mirror 2 is integrated with the vehicle body to achieve integration. On the basis of reducing the air resistance of the rearview mirror 2, it can save the space occupied by the device and reduce the tediousness of the user's operation, further improving the use effect of the rearview mirror 2 and the aesthetic perception of the vehicle.

[0042] When the user needs to use the rearview mirror 2, the driver 3 drives the rearview mirror 2 from the hidden state to the working state through the connecting rod transmission mechanism 4. The rearview mirror cover 202 is located at the opening 101, and the rearview mirror body 201 extends out of the opening 101, so that the rearview mirror 2 enters the normal working state, helping the user to understand the situation on both sides of the vehicle body. The rearview mirror cover 202 blocks the opening 101, so that the rearview mirror cover 202 and the mounting component 1 appear to be a whole, improving the use of the rearview mirror 2 and the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

[0043] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, mounting component 1 is a vehicle door, and rearview mirror 2 is mounted on the vehicle door. Providing rearview mirror 2 on the vehicle door can reduce wind resistance and improve the vehicle's aerodynamic efficiency, thereby helping to save fuel or increase the range of electric vehicles. Rearview mirror 2 mounted on a vehicle door typically provides a better side view, helping to reduce blind spots and making it easier for the driver to observe conditions near the sides of the vehicle. This installation method can position rearview mirror 2 closer to the driver's natural field of vision, facilitating quick inspection and reducing the angle at which the driver needs to turn their head, thereby improving driving safety.

[0044] It can be understood that in some other embodiments of the present application, the mounting component 1 is a front fender, wherein the front fender can also be called a front wheel cover.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the connecting rod transmission mechanism 4 includes a slider 401 and a connecting rod 402. The slider 401 is slidably disposed on the rearview mirror cover 202. One end of the connecting rod 402 is hingedly connected to the slider 401, and the other end is fixedly connected to the driving end of the driving member 3. The connecting rod transmission mechanism 4 has a relatively simple structure, is easy to manufacture and maintain, and can operate stably for a long time and has a long service life. The position and speed of the slider 401 can also be precisely controlled by an electronic control system, thereby achieving precise control of the position of the rearview mirror 2.

[0046] Furthermore, when the rearview mirror 2 is in the hidden state, the rearview mirror body 201 and the door panel appear to be integrated. If the user needs to open the rearview mirror 2, the driving end of the driver 3 rotates the driving link 402, causing it to move. The end of the driving link 402 is connected to a slider 401, which in turn drives the slider 401 to slide on the rearview mirror cover 202, thereby opening the rearview mirror 2 and switching the rearview mirror 2 from the hidden state to the working state. When the rearview mirror 2 needs to be retracted, the driving end of the driver 3 rotates the driving link 402 in the opposite direction, causing it to move until the rearview mirror body 201 is flush with the door, achieving integration of the rearview mirror body 201 and the door panel. This allows the rearview mirror 2 to be completely hidden within the door, achieving a seamless integration with the door. This reduces air resistance, saves space, and reduces user operation complexity, further enhancing the user experience of the rearview mirror 2 and the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the slider 401 is achieved by the forward and reverse rotation of the driving end of the driving member 3, thereby achieving the switching state of the rearview mirror 2.

[0048] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the appearance size of the rearview mirror cover 202 is consistent with the rearview mirror body 201. When the rearview mirror 2 is in the hidden state, the rearview mirror body 201 and the door panel form an integral panel, similar to the appearance of the charging port cover.

[0049] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the molding method and material of the rearview mirror 2, the connecting rod 402 and the slider 401. They can be machined and can be manufactured according to the needs.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, a slide groove 2021 is defined on the rearview mirror cover 202, and a slider 401 is disposed within the slide groove 2021. The tight fit between the slider 401 and the slide groove 2021 ensures accurate movement of the slider 401 along a predetermined trajectory, making it highly reliable and less prone to failure. Proper lubrication can minimize friction between the slider 401 and the slide groove 2021, thereby extending the service life of the entire system.

[0051] It is understandable that in some other embodiments of the present application, a slide rail is provided on the rearview mirror cover 202, and the slider 401 is slidably disposed on the slide rail. The accurate sliding of the slider 401 can also be achieved through the cooperation between the slide rail and the slider 401.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, limiters 203 are provided at both ends of the chute 2021 along its extension direction, and the limiters 203 are used to limit the movement range of the slider 401. The limiters 203 limit the movement range of the slider 401 to prevent the slider 401 from escaping the chute 2021.

[0053] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the limiting member 203 is a limiting block or a limiting housing, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the slider 401 and the connecting rod 402 are connected by a rotating pin 403. The setting of the rotating pin 403 can ensure the movement of the connecting rod 402 relative to the slider 401, and is also easy to disassemble and install.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror 2 further includes a camera 204 disposed on the rearview mirror body 201. In this case, the rearview mirror 2 can be referred to as an electronic rearview mirror. The camera 204 obtains information about the vehicle's surroundings, assisting the driver in driving safely and improving the driver's driving safety.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, an optical lens may be provided on the rearview mirror body 201, and the driver may observe the situation on both sides and rear of the vehicle body through the optical lens, thereby improving driving safety.

[0057] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, the optical lens may be a plane mirror or a convex mirror.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving member 3 is a drive motor. The movement of the rearview mirror 2 is driven by the drive motor. The motor has high efficiency, low noise, high precision, and is easy to control and maintain. The motor drive also has relatively high environmental protection indicators. The efficiency of the motor drive can reach 90%-95%, and it has higher precision and response speed.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror body 201 and the rearview mirror cover 202 are integrally formed. The integrally formed rearview mirror 2 has higher strength and durability, can reduce the manufacturing process, reduce production and assembly costs, and reduce the cost of subsequent maintenance; can reduce the possibility of water infiltration and improve the waterproof performance of the rearview mirror 2; can provide smoother appearance lines and enhance the overall beauty of the vehicle.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror body 201 and the rearview mirror cover 202 are arranged vertically. When the rearview mirror 2 switches between the hidden state and the working state, the rearview mirror 2 rotates 90 degrees, so that the rearview mirror body 201 or the rearview mirror cover 202 of the rearview mirror 2 is more coordinated with the overall design style of the vehicle, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0061] An embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, including: the above-mentioned rearview mirror device.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, a rearview mirror device includes an electronic rearview mirror and a vehicle door. The electronic rearview mirror is mounted on either side of the vehicle's front left and right doors and is located within the door's inner cavity. The electronic rearview mirror includes a rearview mirror body and a camera 204. The rearview mirror body includes a rearview mirror body 201 and a rearview mirror cover 202. An opening 101 is provided on the outer side of the door to accommodate the electronic rearview mirror. The door's inner cavity is provided with a drive motor and a connecting rod transmission mechanism 4. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the door, preventing the rearview mirror 2 from vibrating due to torsional stiffness during vehicle movement, thereby providing greater comfort and safety during use. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor causes a slider 401 to slide within the limited displacement range of a limit post, enabling the electronic rearview mirror to reciprocate between active and hidden states, thereby switching between them. Motor drives typically offer higher precision and response speed, with efficiency reaching 90%-95%. This high efficiency, low noise, high precision, and ease of control and maintenance make the rearview mirror device more compact, less prone to failure, and more convenient to install, making it suitable for layouts with smaller spaces.

[0063] Furthermore, the electronic rearview mirror has a hidden state and an operating state. The door panel has an opening 101. The mirror cover 202 has the same dimensions as the mirror body 201 and matches the opening 101. In the hidden state, the mirror cover 202 and the door panel form a single unit. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor causes the connecting rod 402 to move. A slider 401 with a rotating pin 403 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 402. The slider 401 slides within a slot 2021. A limit post constrains the slider 401's displacement range. The mirror cover 202 switches between on and off states in response to the movement of the slider 401 with the rotating pin 403. When the rearview mirror 2 is in the operating state, the camera 204 begins operating.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the rearview mirror device is connected to the vehicle's controller (ECU for short) for signal transmission, which is transmitted to the ECU via CAN signals, and the ECU sends the signals to the rearview mirror device to switch the working state. Furthermore, the working state of the rearview mirror 2 is controlled according to the vehicle scene. The rearview mirror 2 can be protected in the hidden state. The protection of the rearview mirror 2 can be divided into active protection and passive protection. Figure 4 The working process of the rearview mirror 2 is described as follows:

[0065] Active protection: When the vehicle is in a static state such as leaving the vehicle for a short time or locking the vehicle for a long time, for example, 1. the power gear is in ON or OFF gear; 2. the gear is in P gear, the active protection mechanism is triggered. At this time, the rearview mirror 2 switches from the normal working state to the hidden state and enters the rearview mirror 2 protection state.

[0066] Passive protection: When the vehicle is in a dynamic dangerous scenario such as reversing, emergency braking, approaching obstacles, for example, 1. The power gear is in ON gear; 2. The gear is in P, D or R gear; 3. When the vehicle is in reversing or the rearview mirror 2 is in use; 4. There are obstacles such as pillars on both sides of the parking space. When the rearview mirror 2 is in such a scenario, the passive protection mechanism is triggered. At this time, the rearview mirror 2 retracts inward and stops within a safe range. At this time, the rearview mirror 2 can still continue to work.

[0067] Rearview mirror 2 works normally: When the vehicle is in normal driving and there is no dangerous scene state, for example, 1. The power gear is in ON gear; 2. The gear is in P, D or R gear; 3. No dangerous scene is triggered and there is no dangerous obstacle approaching, rearview mirror 2 is in normal working condition.

[0068] It should be noted that when the active protection mechanism or the passive protection mechanism is triggered, the rearview mirror device starts working and the rearview mirror 2 enters the protection state, thereby protecting the rearview mirror device in multiple scenarios such as active safety protection and passive safety protection, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the electronic rearview mirror.

[0069] In related technologies, the foldable rearview mirror is set close to the door when folded, and cannot be integrated with the vehicle body. It occupies the lateral dimension of the vehicle, and is prone to various scenarios such as parking scratches and dynamic collisions that cannot be solved. In addition, the wind resistance is relatively large, and the aesthetics cannot be further improved.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the hidden rearview mirror device is based on a vehicle body integrated design, which ensures the active safety protection and passive safety protection functionality of the electronic rearview mirror while avoiding the disadvantage of the current non-foldable rearview mirror in terms of lateral size occupation, eliminating the mechanical appearance of traditional non-foldable rearview mirrors and foldable rearview mirrors, and integrating with the vehicle body to achieve integration. On the basis of reducing air resistance of the electronic rearview mirror, it further saves the space occupied by the device and reduces the tediousness of user operation, further improving the use effect of the rearview mirror and the aesthetic perception of the vehicle.

[0071] The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to a large automobile, a small car, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, based on the vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other vehicle types. A vehicle generally has wheels, a power source, and a transmission system arranged between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle.

[0072] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the type of vehicle power source is not limited. For example, for a fuel-powered vehicle, the power source may refer to a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, or other fuel-powered engine; for an electric vehicle, the power source may refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid vehicle, the power source may refer to an engine or an electric motor; and for a vehicle powered by other means, the power source may refer to a device that generates power.

[0073] The serial numbers of the embodiments of this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are only preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of the patent of this application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of this application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
