[0027] The first embodiment of the present utility model is specifically that the horizontal connecting end of the vehicle body handle is an internal threaded end, so the mounting member 3 includes a mounting shell 31, a first spherical end 32 is vertically arranged on the mounting shell 31, the first spherical end 32 and the mounting shell 31 are formed as one piece, and the mounting shell 31 is provided with a concave cavity 33 at one end facing the vehicle body handle, and the concave cavity 33 is provided with a through hole 34, and a screw 35 is inserted into the through hole 34, and the screw 35 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded end of the vehicle body handle, so that the rearview mirror is installed on the vehicle body handle, and disassembly and assembly are convenient and quick.

[0028] like Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connector 2 is provided with a first spherical groove 5 corresponding to the first spherical end 32, and a second spherical groove 6 corresponding to the second spherical end 11, allowing the first spherical end 32 and the second spherical end 11 to rotate within the first spherical groove 5 and the second spherical groove 6. The connector 2 includes a left connecting block 21 and a right connecting block 22. The first spherical groove 5 and the second spherical groove 6 are formed by the cooperation of the upper hemispherical grooves 23 of the left connecting block 21 and the right connecting block 22, and are mutually locked by bolts 25.

To facilitate identification of the left connecting block 21 and the right connecting block 22, an arc-shaped protrusion is provided on the left connecting block 21, and an arc-shaped groove is provided on the right connecting block 22.

[0029] like Figure 7 As shown, to enhance rotational lubrication between the spherical end and the spherical groove, hemispherical gaskets 24 made of nylon PA are installed in each hemispherical groove 23. To prevent hemispherical gaskets 24 from shifting, a circular hole 231 is provided on the inner end surface of the hemispherical groove 23. Multiple slightly inclined frustum blocks 232 are evenly spaced around the outer edge of the circular hole 231. Hemispherical gaskets 24 are equipped with circular blocks 241 corresponding to the circular holes 231, and through holes are provided corresponding to the frustum blocks 232, thereby limiting the position of hemispherical gaskets 24.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a second embodiment, which is the same as the first embodiment, with the only difference being that: the mounting member 3 includes a mounting shell 31, the first spherical end 32 is vertically arranged on the mounting shell 31, the mounting shell 31 is provided with a concave cavity 33 at one end facing the vehicle body handle, and the concave cavity 33 is provided with a through hole 34, the concave cavity 33 is clamped with a support member 4, and a screw 35 is inserted into the through hole 34, the screw 35 is threadedly connected to the support member 4, and the support member 4 is opened by rotating the screw 35 and then clamped with the horizontal connection end of the vehicle body handle.

[0031] On the basis of the above embodiment, the expansion member 4 includes a limit block 41, an expansion tube 42 and a nut 43. Conical openings 421 are provided inside both ends of the expansion tube 42, and a plurality of first vertical through grooves 422 are evenly distributed circumferentially at one end, and a second vertical through groove 423 is provided between the circumferentially adjacent first vertical through grooves 422 at the other end. The lengths of the first vertical through grooves 422 and the second vertical through grooves 423 are both shorter than the length of the expansion tube 42, and the ends of the expansion tube 42 are respectively formed into multiple expansion pieces through the first vertical through grooves 422 or the second vertical through grooves 423.

[0032] On the basis of the above embodiment, a limiting protrusion 411 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the limiting block 41 close to the concave cavity 33, and a limiting groove 331 is provided in the concave cavity 33 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 411. The limiting block 41 is conical toward one end of the expansion tube 42 and a first limiting plate 412 is provided on the conical end surface corresponding to the first vertical through groove 422.

[0033] On the basis of the above embodiment, the end of the nut 43 facing the expansion tube 42 is tapered, and a second limiting plate 431 is provided on the tapered end surface corresponding to the second vertical through groove 423 .

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the second embodiment specifically addresses the installation of a rearview mirror in a vehicle handlebar with a recessed hole and no internal threads. The mounting member 3 comprises a mounting housing 31, with a first spherical end 32 vertically disposed on the mounting housing 31. The end of the mounting housing 31 facing the vehicle handlebar is provided with a recessed cavity 33, which is provided with a through-hole 34. A spreading member 4 is secured to the recessed cavity 33. The spreading member 4 comprises a stopper 41, a spreading tube 42, and a nut 43. A screw 35 is inserted through the through-hole 34. The head of the screw 35 abuts against the end face of the through-hole 34 via an annular gasket. The body of the screw 35 extends through the recessed cavity 33, the stopper 41, the spreading tube 42, and is connected to the nut 43. The rotation of the screw 35 causes the nut 43 to move. During this movement, the spreading tube 42, under the action of the stopper 41 and the nut 43, circumferentially expands at both ends, allowing the two ends of the spreading tube 42 to abut against the inner wall of the recessed hole in the vehicle handlebar, achieving a snap connection.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a limiting protrusion 411 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the limiting block 41 close to the concave cavity 33, and a limiting groove 331 is provided in the concave cavity 33 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 411. The setting of the limiting groove 331 and the limiting protrusion 411 limits the rotation of the limiting block 41 and thereby limits the nut 43 from rotating with the screw 35 but moving along the length of the screw 35.

[0036] like Figure 5As shown, both ends of the expansion tube 42 are provided with tapered openings 421, and one end has a plurality of first vertical through slots 422 evenly distributed circumferentially. The other end has a second vertical through slot 423 between adjacent first vertical through slots 422. The lengths of the first vertical through slots 422 and the second vertical through slots 423 are both shorter than the length of the expansion tube 42. The ends of the expansion tube 42 are formed into multiple expansion pieces through the first vertical through slots 422 or the second vertical through slots 423, respectively. In this application, three sections are preferred. The end of the limit block 41 and the nut 43 facing the tapered opening of the expansion tube 42 are tapered. A first limit plate 412 is provided on the tapered end surface of the limit block 41 corresponding to the first vertical through slot 422, and a second limit plate 431 is provided on the tapered end surface of the nut 43 corresponding to the second vertical through slot 423. The first limit plate 412 is inserted into the first vertical through slot 422, and the second limit block 41 is inserted into the second vertical through slot 423. When the screw 35 rotates, the nut 43 moves toward the mounting housing 31. During this movement, the tapered end of the nut 43 moves forward, pushing the expansion tube 42 forward to a certain extent. The front end of the expansion tube 42 is circumferentially expanded under the restriction of the limit block 41, and the front end of the expansion tube 42 abuts the recessed hole of the vehicle body handle. During the forward movement of the nut 43, the rear end of the expansion tube 42 is also circumferentially expanded, so that the expansion tube 42 is completely clamped in the recessed hole. The circumferential expansion of the ends of the expansion tube 42 makes the installation of the rearview mirror more stable and secure. The expansion tube 42 in this application is provided with two interchangeable small and large diameters. The expansion tube 42 of different diameters can be selected according to the size of the vehicle body handle recess.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
