[0003] In the prior art, the turn signal lamps on the exterior rearview mirrors are integrally formed and mounted on the exterior rearview mirrors by bolts or clips. However, in actual use, due to the different body shapes of drivers and the different ways of adjusting seats when driving, if the driver adjusts the seat too far forward, it is difficult to detect whether the turn signal lamps are working properly. In addition, the integrally formed turn signal lamps cannot expand the illumination range to warn pedestrians and nearby vehicles from multiple angles, thereby reducing the safety factor.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a kind of automobile exterior rearview mirror turn signal lamp to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a turn signal lamp for an automobile exterior rearview mirror, so as to solve the defects of the prior art mentioned in the above background technology. Due to the different body shapes of people driving cars and the different ways of adjusting seats when driving cars, once the driver adjusts the seat too far forward, it is difficult to find out whether the turn signal lamp is working properly. At the same time, the one-piece molded turn signal lamp cannot expand the illumination range to warn surrounding pedestrians and nearby vehicles from multiple angles, thereby reducing the safety factor.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a car exterior rearview mirror turn signal includes a first turn signal 1 and a second turn signal 2 in the shape of a strip. A groove 5 is provided on the side of the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2 close to the exterior rearview mirror housing. The arrangement of the groove 5 prevents the second turn signal 2 from getting stuck when rotating. The first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2 are both arranged on the outer edge of the exterior rearview mirror housing; the first turn signal 1 and the exterior rearview mirror housing are fixed by bolts, and a accommodating groove with a depth greater than that of the second turn signal 2 is provided on the exterior rearview mirror housing. The first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2 are connected by a drive assembly, and the drive assembly drives the second turn signal 2 to rotate for angle adjustment.

[0021] The driving assembly includes an electric motor 3, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the first turn signal light 1. The output end of the electric motor 3 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 4, which passes through the second turn signal light 2 and is fixed thereto. The rotating rod 4 passes through the first turn signal light 1 and rotates in conjunction with the first turn signal light 1.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first turn signal lamp 1 and the second turn signal lamp 2 are equipped with LED chips. The LED chips are arranged in sequence along the length of the turn signal lamp body. The LED chips are connected in parallel to a power source and are turned on when the car turns. This ensures driving safety and provides early warning to the driver of the car, pedestrians, and drivers of nearby vehicles, so that people can know the vehicle's movement in advance and make correct judgments.

[0023] In order to further expand the illumination range of the turn signal and improve the warning range, the first turn signal 1 is set on the front curved surface of the exterior rearview mirror housing, and the second turn signal 2 is set on the rear curved surface of the exterior rearview mirror housing. The electric motor 3 is started to drive the rotating rod 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 4 drives the second turn signal 2 to rotate within 0-60 degrees. The structure is simple and practical. At the same time, it can prompt pedestrians and nearby vehicles around the car from multiple angles, and it is helpful to prompt drivers of different heights of the vehicle, so as to avoid the driver's seat being adjusted forward during driving, making it difficult to find whether the turn signal is working properly, thereby improving the safety factor.

[0024] Furthermore, the lampshades of the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2 away from the front side of the exterior rearview mirror housing are provided with frosted textures to prevent the LED chips from emitting too much light, which would be too dazzling to pedestrians and nearby vehicles, affect judgment, and reduce the safety factor level.

[0025] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, a strip groove is provided in the first turn signal lamp 1, and a sealing gasket 6 is provided in the strip groove. One end of the sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the second turn signal lamp 2, and the other end of the sealing gasket 6 is connected through a reset component; positioning components are provided on both sides of the sealing gasket 6.

[0026] The reset assembly includes a sleeve 7, which is rotatably connected to the exterior rearview mirror housing. A support rod 9 is connected to the sleeve 7 through a clockwork spring 8. The support rod 9 supports the clockwork spring 8, making the clockwork spring 8 run more stably. The support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second turn signal lamp 2, and one end of the sealing gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 6 is made of soft material. When the driving component drives the second turn signal to rotate within 20-60 degrees, the rotation of the second turn signal 2 drives the sealing gasket 6 to move with the second turn signal 2, so that the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2 are always kept sealed, preventing external rain and dust from entering the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2, reducing the service life of the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2, and the sealing gasket 6 moves with the second turn signal 2 to overcome the force of the clockwork spring 8. When the second turn signal 2 is reset, the sealing gasket 6 is reset to the strip groove under the force of the clockwork spring 8, giving the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2 sufficient reset space, so that the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2 are located on the same arc under normal conditions, and are both arranged on the outer curved surface of the exterior rearview mirror, which is more beautiful.

[0028] As a further solution of the present invention, the positioning assembly includes a positioning strip 10, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the sealing gasket 6. The exterior rearview mirror housing is provided with a positioning groove that is compatible with the positioning strip 10. The positioning strip 10 slides in the positioning groove. The positioning strip 10 is made of soft material. In this embodiment, when the sealing gasket 6 moves, it drives the positioning strip 10 to slide in the positioning groove, so that the reciprocating position of the sealing gasket 6 is not easily offset, and can slide accurately in the positioning groove, thereby improving the sealing between the first turn signal 1 and the second turn signal 2.

[0029] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
