[0063] In recent years, with the advancement of intelligent technology, smart cars have become increasingly popular among consumers. Consequently, the level of intelligence in vehicles has also been steadily increasing, leading to the widespread use of electronic rearview mirrors. Electronic rearview mirrors, also known as streaming media rearview mirrors, replace traditional optical rearview mirrors with a combination of cameras and displays. They operate by capturing images from an external camera, processing them, and displaying them on a display inside the cabin, providing a clear view of the vehicle's rear. This technology is not restricted by the vehicle's power source (electric or gasoline), making it applicable to various types of vehicles.

[0064] When installing an electronic rearview mirror in a car, a camera device must be installed in conjunction with it. The camera device is installed in the vehicle, and the mirror body is installed below the camera device. However, since the electronic rearview mirror integrates components such as a display screen and a processing chip, its overall size is usually larger than that of a traditional optical rearview mirror, and its weight is also increased compared to an optical rearview mirror. In addition, the installation structure of the electronic rearview mirror needs to take into account the layout position, angle, and fixing method between the electronic rearview mirror and the camera device. It is necessary to ensure that the camera can clearly capture the image in front of the vehicle, and the position and angle of the electronic rearview mirror can be convenient for the driver to see. Therefore, the installation structure and installation requirements are also higher than those of an optical rearview mirror. In addition, the camera device also takes up a large space, and the electronic rearview mirror is arranged close to the human body, which increases the blind spot caused by the electronic rearview mirror blocking the front, affecting the front vision of the occupants in the car, causing a sense of spatial oppression, and affecting the occupants' user experience.

[0065] Furthermore, in some models, the pursuit of speed and aesthetics leads to increasingly low-slung vehicle designs. This design reduces wind resistance and improves energy efficiency. For example, this design is often used in electric vehicles to reduce energy consumption and increase range. However, to achieve a lower drag coefficient, the vehicle's height and overall shape may be compressed, compromising interior space to some extent. Therefore, the inclusion of electronic rearview mirrors in these models can exacerbate occupants' poor forward visibility and a sense of oppression.

[0066] The rearview mirror assembly and vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application reduce additional installation structures and space occupation by fixing the entire structure on the front windshield bracket, making the entire rearview mirror assembly more compact, and designing the adapter bracket in front of the camera device and serving as a support point for the electronic interior rearview mirror, so that the electronic interior rearview mirror can be installed in a relatively forward position, making the installation position of the electronic interior rearview mirror more reasonable, and increasing the distance between the entire rearview mirror assembly and the human body, optimizing the occupant's field of view, improving the sense of spatial oppression, and enhancing the occupant's user experience.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application also provides a rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a front windshield, and the rearview mirror assembly includes a front windshield bracket 100, a camera device 200, an adapter bracket 300 and an electronic interior rearview mirror 400.

[0068] Among them, the front windshield bracket 100 is fixedly mounted on the front windshield. The front windshield bracket 100 is the supporting base of the entire rearview mirror assembly. Fixing it to the windshield ensures the stable installation of the rearview mirror assembly, and facilitates the subsequent installation and adjustment of the camera device 200 and the electronic interior rearview mirror 400. At the same time, compared with the existing method of fixing the entire assembly to the interior of the car, usually on the top of the car, fixing the front windshield bracket 100 to the front windshield can increase the distance between the entire rearview mirror assembly and the human body, optimize the field of view, and reduce the sense of spatial oppression. Exemplarily, the front windshield bracket 100 can be bonded to the front windshield by structural adhesive. The camera device 200 is fixedly mounted on the front windshield bracket 100 and is responsible for capturing image information in front of the vehicle. Through a high-definition camera, the scene outside the vehicle can be transmitted to the electronic interior rearview mirror 400 in real time for the driver to observe.

[0069] The adapter bracket 300 is connected to the front windshield bracket 100 and provides support for the electronic rearview mirror 400. The adapter bracket 300 is located in front of the camera device 200 in the vehicle's front-to-back direction. This design allows the electronic rearview mirror 400 to be installed in a more reasonable position, avoiding the problem of limited field of view caused by direct obstruction by the camera device 200. Optionally, the front windshield bracket 100 can be provided with multiple mounting positions along the vehicle's front-to-back direction. For example, the mounting position is provided in front of the camera device 200, allowing the adapter bracket 300 to be adjusted in front of the camera device 200, allowing the occupant to fine-tune the position according to their needs.

[0070] The electronic rearview mirror 400 is mounted on the adapter bracket 300 and positioned below the camera device 200. This ensures that the camera device 200 has a sufficient field of view and clearly displays the image information captured by the camera device 200. Furthermore, the electronic rearview mirror 400 can integrate multiple functions, such as brightness adjustment and image zooming, to enhance driving convenience and safety.

[0071] According to the rearview mirror assembly of the embodiment of the present application, by fixing the entire structure on the front windshield bracket 100, the additional installation structure and space occupation are reduced, making the entire rearview mirror assembly more compact. At the same time, fixing the front windshield bracket 100 to the front windshield can increase the distance between the entire rearview mirror assembly and the human body, thereby optimizing the occupant's field of view. In addition, the adapter bracket 300 is designed in front of the camera device 200 and serves as a support point for the electronic rearview mirror 400, so that the electronic rearview mirror 400 can be installed in a relatively forward position, making the installation position of the electronic rearview mirror 400 more reasonable, further optimizing the impact of the electronic rearview mirror 400 on the field of view, improving the sense of spatial oppression, and enhancing the occupant's user experience.

[0072] Furthermore, by integrally securing the front windshield bracket 100 to the front windshield and positioning the adapter bracket 300 and electronic interior rearview mirror 400 below and in front of the camera device 200, the rearview mirror assembly achieves a streamlined structure that blends seamlessly with the vehicle's design. This ensures both functionality and aesthetics, elevating the vehicle's overall class and enhancing the modern feel of the cockpit.

[0073] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the rearview mirror assembly. As long as the distance between the electronic rearview mirror and the human body can reach a preset value, the blind spot caused by the obstruction of the electronic interior rearview mirror 400 is limited to a preset range, and the sense of oppression in the vehicle space caused by the overall installation of the camera device 200 and the electronic rearview mirror does not cause discomfort to the occupants, it will be sufficient.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 2The adapter bracket 300 includes a main body 310 and a mounting portion 320. The electronic rearview mirror 400 is arranged on the main body 310. The main body 310 is the main supporting structure of the electronic rearview mirror 400. The main body 310 should be configured to withstand the weight of the electronic rearview mirror 400 and the force and vibration generated by the vehicle during driving. The mounting portions 320 are respectively located on both sides of the main body 310 along the left and right directions of the vehicle. The mounting portions 320 are connected to the front windshield bracket 100. Exemplarily, the mounting portions 320 can be a bolt structure. The design of the mounting portion 320 improves the connection stability between the adapter bracket 300 and the front windshield bracket 100, and the mounting portions 320 are arranged on both sides of the main body 310. In this way, the pressure of the electronic rearview mirror 400 on the front windshield bracket 100 is effectively dispersed, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire rearview mirror assembly.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side surface of the front windshield bracket 100 facing the front windshield is parallel to the front windshield. When the front windshield bracket 100 is installed on the front windshield, the front windshield bracket 100 will be in contact with the front windshield, ensuring the installation stability of the front windshield bracket 100. The side surface of the mounting portion 320 facing the front windshield bracket 100 is parallel to the side surface of the front windshield bracket 100 facing away from the front windshield. When the adapter bracket 300 is installed on the front windshield bracket 100, the mounting portion 320 of the adapter bracket 300 will be in contact with the front windshield bracket 100, ensuring the installation stability of the adapter bracket 300.

[0076] The main body 310 has a mounting surface on the side facing away from the front bumper bracket 100, and an angle is formed between the mounting surface and the surface of the mounting portion 320 on the side facing the front bumper bracket 100. The angle is designed to adapt to the installation requirements of the mirror arm 410, ensuring that the mirror arm 410 can be connected to the mounting surface at a predetermined angle and position to achieve the optimal field of view angle of the rearview mirror. The electronic interior rearview mirror 400 includes: a mirror arm 410 and a mirror body 420. The mirror arm 410 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is fixedly connected to the mounting surface to ensure the stability of the rearview mirror. The second end extends to the lower side of the camera device 200 and is connected to the mirror body 420, so that the camera device 200 can accurately capture the image in front of the vehicle.

[0077] In this way, the connection angle between the mirror arm 410 and the mounting surface can be precisely adjusted to determine the display position of the mirror body 420 to ensure that the occupants have a clearer, unobstructed rear view. At the same time, a reasonable installation position and angle design can help reduce or eliminate the blind spots of the rearview mirror and improve driving comfort and safety.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4The mirror arm 410 includes a connecting head 411 and a connecting arm 412.

[0079] The connecting head 411 includes a first connecting portion 4111, which has a connecting surface, which is parallel to and connected to the mounting surface. The parallel connecting surfaces enable the connecting surface and the mounting surface to be tightly connected, ensuring the stability between the mirror arm 410 and the front windshield bracket 100, and avoiding loosening or displacement caused by vibration during driving; the connecting head 411 constitutes the first end, and the connecting head 411 is directly connected to the mounting surface of the front windshield bracket 100, constituting the first end of the mirror arm 410, providing a stable support base for the entire mirror arm 410; the connecting arm 412 includes a first section and a second section, the first section extends downward along the height direction of the vehicle, which helps to place the mirror body 420 at a more suitable height position so that the driver can clearly observe the situation behind the vehicle, and the second section extends backward along the front and rear direction of the vehicle, so that the mirror body 420 can be away from the driver's line of sight, reducing interference with the driving field of vision. The second section also bears the weight of the mirror body 420, ensuring its stability during driving. Located at the end of the second section away from the first section, the mirror body 420 maintains a relatively independent and stable position, minimizing the impact of vibrations from other components. As the display portion of the electronic rearview mirror 400, the position and angle of the mirror body 420 are crucial for ensuring a clear and comfortable field of view.

[0080] In this way, through the parallel and tight connection between the connecting head 411 and the mounting surface, and the reasonable layout and design of the connecting arm 412, the stability of the electronic rearview mirror 400 during driving is ensured, and safety hazards caused by looseness or displacement are avoided. At the same time, the installation position of the mirror body 420 ensures that the driver can obtain a clear, unobstructed rear view, thereby enhancing the comfort of car driving.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 3 The mirror body 420 and the camera device 200 are arranged relative to each other in the height direction of the vehicle, which ensures that the rearview mirror assembly utilizes the space inside the vehicle, avoids occupying too much space inside the vehicle in the horizontal direction, and helps to improve the overall sense of space in the vehicle. At the same time, since the mirror body 420 and the camera device 200 are staggered in height, their respective field of view will not overlap or interfere with each other, thus ensuring that the driver will not be visually obstructed by the camera device 200 when observing the rearview mirror, thereby improving driving concentration and safety.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4The connector 411 also includes: a second connecting portion 4112, which extends to the front side of the main body 310, so that the rearview mirror assembly can make rational use of the space. The electronic rearview mirror 400 also includes: a wiring harness plug 430, which is arranged on the side of the second connecting portion 4112 facing away from the front windshield bracket 100 and is connected to the roof wiring harness of the vehicle.

[0083] Thus, the second connection portion 4112 serves as the installation base for the wiring harness plug 430. By arranging the wiring harness plug 430 on the side of the second connection portion 4112 facing away from the front windshield bracket 100, the wiring harness can be effectively hidden, reducing visual clutter and keeping the interior of the vehicle neat and beautiful.

[0084] Specifically, the wiring harness plug 430 is a key component of the electronic interior rearview mirror 400. It typically contains multiple electrical interfaces for connecting the mirror's internal electronic components with the vehicle's electrical system. By strategically positioning the wiring harness plug 430 on the side of the second connecting portion 4112 facing away from the windshield support 100, it connects to the vehicle's ceiling wiring harness. Through the electrical connection of the wiring harness plug 430, the rearview mirror receives power and signals from the vehicle's electrical system, thereby performing its functions.

[0085] Thus, the design of the second connecting portion 4112 effectively conceals and manages the rearview mirror's wiring harness plug 430, reducing visual clutter within the vehicle. This neat and aesthetically pleasing design not only enhances the vehicle's interior's class but also contributes to improved driving comfort for the driver. Furthermore, positioning the wiring harness plug 430 on the side of the second connecting portion 4112 facing away from the front bumper bracket 100 allows maintenance personnel to more easily access and operate the wiring harness plug 430, reducing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0086] In some embodiments, the connector 411 also includes a third connecting portion, which connects the first connecting portion 4111 and the second connecting portion 4112 respectively. The setting of the third connecting portion not only enhances the overall strength and stability of the connector 411, but also forms a natural transition area between the first connecting portion 4111 and the second connecting portion 4112, making the entire connector 411 more visually harmonious and unified. The second connecting portion 4112 is set higher than the first connecting portion 4111, which is conducive to the arrangement and hiding of the wiring harness plug 430. Since the wiring harness plug 430 is usually located on the side of the second connecting portion 4112 facing away from the front windshield bracket 100, the higher second connecting portion 4112 can provide the wiring harness plug 430 with more installation space and freedom, making the wiring harness arrangement more flexible and tidy. At the same time, the higher second connecting portion 4112 further expands the accommodation space of the wiring harness plug 430, reduces the interference and friction between the wiring harness and the interior components of the vehicle, and reduces the safety hazards caused by wiring harness wear.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The main body 310 is provided with a first positioning structure and a first fixing structure, and the first connecting portion 4111 is provided with a first positioning matching structure and a first fixing matching structure.

[0088] The main body 310 and the mirror arm 410 are positioned and matched by a first positioning structure and a first positioning matching structure. For example, the first positioning structure may be a positioning pin, and the first positioning matching structure may be a positioning hole opened on the first connecting portion 4111. Before the first fixing structure and the first fixing matching mechanism are fixedly connected, the positioning pin and the positioning hole cooperate with each other and position the relative positions of the main body 310 and the first connecting portion 4111 to prevent offset or misalignment during subsequent connection. Furthermore, any one of the first positioning structure and the first positioning matching structure includes but is not limited to shapes such as protrusions, grooves, pins, and positioning holes. These shapes are based on the ability to accurately match and realize the positioning function, and are not limited here.

[0089] The main body 310 and the mirror arm 410 are fixedly connected by a first fixing structure and a first fixed matching structure. For example, the first fixing structure may be a bolt, and the first fixed matching structure may be a screw hole opened on the first connecting part 4111. After limiting the main body 310 and the first connecting part 4111 by the first positioning part and the first positioning matching structure, the bolt is screwed into the screw hole to achieve the connection and fixation between the main body 310 and the mirror arm 410.

For example, the second fixing structure may be a bolt, and the second fixing matching structure may be a screw hole opened on the front block bracket 100. After limiting the mounting portion 320 and the front block bracket 100 by the second positioning portion and the second positioning matching structure, the bolt is screwed into the screw hole to achieve the connection and fixation between the mounting portion 320 and the front block bracket 100. Furthermore, the connection method between the second fixing structure and the second fixing matching structure includes but is not limited to threaded connection, snap connection, welding or other forms of mechanical connection. The specific connection method can be adaptively selected according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , a sun hood 110 is also provided on the front windshield bracket 100, which is mainly used to reduce or eliminate the direct exposure of external light to the camera device 200, especially direct light from the sun or other strong light sources. These direct lights may not only cause overexposure of the picture and affect the clarity of the image, but may also produce glare, light spots and the like, reducing the imaging quality of the camera device 200. By installing the sun hood 110, the light irradiated to the camera device 200 can be effectively controlled to ensure the quality of the picture it takes. Exemplarily, the sun hood 110 and the front windshield bracket 100 are arranged integrally. A light-transmitting hole 111 is provided on the sun hood 110, which is the lens matching hole of the camera device 200, so as to expose the lens portion of the camera device 200 to capture the external environment.

[0094] The sunshade 110 is located on the upper side of the adapter bracket 300, which not only blocks the camera device 200, but also achieves a certain shielding effect on the adapter bracket 300. The light hole 111 and the camera device 200 are arranged relative to each other along the front and rear directions of the vehicle, which makes it convenient for the camera device 200 to capture the external environment.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 5 The front windshield support 100 is also provided with a sunlight and rain sensor 500. The sunlight and rain sensor 500 is a sensor that can accurately detect the presence of sunlight and rain. For the sunlight part, it usually uses a photosensitive element to detect the intensity of visible light, and then controls the opening and closing of related equipment (such as the automatic headlight system). For the rain part, an optical sensor is usually used. The optical rain sensor detects raindrops through a light beam emitted by an infrared sensor or a laser. When the light beam encounters raindrops, the light changes due to the scattering and absorption effects of the raindrops, thereby determining the presence of raindrops and measuring the precipitation, and then controlling the opening and closing of related equipment (such as automatic rain shielding components, automatic wipers, etc.), further improving the intelligence of the vehicle.

[0096] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, including a body and the rearview mirror assembly shown in any of the above embodiments, wherein the body defines a cab. Specifically, the body serves as the main structure of the vehicle and carries all components and equipment, while the cab provides a space for the driver to operate and control the vehicle, and is equipped with necessary facilities such as seats, a steering wheel, and an instrument panel.

[0097] The cab is provided with a front windshield, which not only provides the driver with a clear field of vision, but also has the function of protecting the driver from adverse weather conditions such as wind, rain and snow. The rearview mirror assembly is fixed to the front windshield by a front windshield bracket 100, which not only ensures the stability and reliability of the rearview mirror assembly, but also increases the distance between the rearview mirror assembly as a whole and the human body, optimizes the field of vision, reduces the sense of spatial oppression in the vehicle, and improves the user experience of the passengers.
