Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories, in particular to an automatically controlled exterior rearview mirror. Background Art
[0002] The exterior rearview mirror is one of the important components of a vehicle. It is usually composed of a mirror surface, a shell, an adjustment mechanism, etc. It is installed on both sides of the vehicle's exterior to provide the driver with a rear and side view so that he can timely understand the surrounding traffic conditions. The mirror surface of the exterior rearview mirror is generally specially treated and has good reflective properties to ensure clear images. Its shell plays a role in protecting internal components and also needs to have certain impact resistance and weather resistance. The adjustment mechanism allows the driver to adjust the angle of the rearview mirror according to his needs, thereby improving driving safety and comfort.
[0003] Existing technologies include a utility model with a publication number of CN202641528U, which discloses an exterior rearview mirror. The patent adopts a twister, a mirror housing, a mirror surface and an exterior rearview mirror support. The mirror housing is connected to the exterior rearview mirror support through the twister and rotates with the twister as the axis. A support fixing column is provided on the mounting surface of the exterior rearview mirror support. The twister is a universal joint twister. After adopting the above structure, the original bracket shaft structure is adjusted to the current simple universal joint structure, which has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The material of the exterior rearview mirror is changed from the original die-cast aluminum to plastic, which reduces the weight of the exterior rearview mirror, reduces the cost, and solves the problem of complex twister structure and high cost.
[0004] When using exterior mirrors to observe the driving environment, the lenses of most exterior mirrors currently available on the market need to be manually adjusted by the driver. During the adjustment process, the driver needs to extend his hand to the twisting structure to operate. When the driver is driving alone and needs to adjust the exterior mirror lens on the passenger side, the driver needs to park the vehicle to the side of the road before performing the adjustment operation, which increases the difficulty of adjusting the exterior mirror on the passenger side.
