Description

Technical Field

[0002] An energy storage board is an electrical component that can store and output electrical energy, improving terminal output voltage inconsistencies and allowing for program-selected high, medium, and low speeds. The energy storage board allows for consistent folding and defrosting speeds for both the left and right exterior mirrors. Improving folding speed consistency can enhance customer satisfaction. Improving defrosting speed can reduce blurred vision time when driving in low-temperature conditions, increasing driving safety. Common energy storage board specifications include: 30*20mm in size, 2000mA in power capacity, and can be fixed to a baseplate and connected to the heater and steering gear via a wiring harness. When not in use, the board stores the electrical energy provided by the engine and automatically shuts off when full. When in use, the board is connected to the power supply after 40% of the power is consumed, stabilizing the input and output energy consumption to provide stable power to the heater and steering gear.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4This embodiment proposes a rearview mirror energy storage plate mounting structure. This structure is formed within the rearview mirror base, which is mounted on the door sheet metal 1. The rearview mirror base comprises a removable upper housing 4 and a lower housing 15. The upper housing 4 is provided with a fixing plate 5, on which a conductive portion 11 and an elastic restraining structure are mounted. The elastic restraining structure forces the installed energy storage plate 9 to abut one end within a restricted range. The conductive portion 11 defines a mating area within which the energy storage plate 9 conducts electricity. The conductive portion 11 and the energy storage plate 9 form a conductive region within which the energy storage plate 9 maintains stable power supply, even with slight movement. During normal driving, the energy storage plate 9 remains in a nearly fixed position. However, during sudden braking, the plate 9 can move slightly within this region to prevent internal stress on the plate 9, thereby dissipating the applied force and protecting the plate 9. The elastic restraining structure confines the movement of the energy storage plate 9 to the mating area of ​​the conductive portion 11, maintaining elastic contact in the initial state. When subjected to external force, the energy storage plate 9 moves and compresses the elastic limiting structure, thereby transferring the external force.

[0028] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the elastic limiting structure includes a fixed limiting portion 6 and a movable limiting portion 13. The fixed limiting portion 6 and the movable limiting portion 13 respectively limit the energy storage plate 9 on opposite sides of the length direction, and the distance between the fixed limiting portion 6 and the movable limiting portion 13 is greater than the length of the energy storage plate 9. The movable limiting portion 13 includes a limiting portion and a spring 12. The side of the energy storage plate 9 near the movable limiting portion 13 is provided with a limiting groove and a conductive groove, which correspond to the conductive portion 11. After installation, the spring 12 acts on the limiting portion, forcing the energy storage plate 9 to abut the fixed limiting portion 6, while the conductive groove and the conductive portion 11 cooperate to energize. Due to the action of the spring 12, the limiting portion of the movable limiting portion 13 initially elastically acts on the energy storage plate 9, forcing the energy storage plate 9 to abut the fixed limiting portion 6. When the energy storage plate 9 is subjected to external force, the energy storage plate 9 can move in this direction, thereby transferring the external force and causing the spring 12 to deform. The existing energy storage plate 9 is often fixed by welding or gluing, which often has a weak anti-seismic ability after being fixed. When subjected to external force, the battery is not easy to release force, which has an impact on the battery.

[0029] The movable limiting portion 13 is as follows Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate installation and fixation, a limit plate 10 is provided, on which a groove for the movable limit portion 13 to pass through is provided. The limit plate 10 itself can also play a limiting role on the energy storage plate 9.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4The upper shell 4 is also provided with side limiters 8, which are provided on both sides of the energy storage plate 9 in the width direction. The side limiters 8 can prevent the energy storage plate 9 from Figure 3 The movable plate can move up and down in the state shown, while the movable limit portion 13 and the fixed limit portion 6 can limit the movable plate from moving left and right. Figure 3 As shown, a fixed plate 5 is actually installed inside the upper housing 4, and the above elastic limiting structure, side limiters 8, and energy storage plate 9 are all mounted on the fixed plate 5. When the lower housing 15 is assembled, the position of the energy storage plate 9 in the lower housing 15 and the fixed plate 5 both restrict the energy storage plate 9, thereby keeping the energy storage plate 9 relatively fixed after installation. This relative fixation is due to the elastic limiting method of the movable limiter 13 on the energy storage plate 9, which allows the energy storage plate 9 to move slightly.

[0031] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the upper shell 4 is further provided with guide portions 7 on opposite sides of the energy storage plate 9 in the width direction, and an inclined surface is provided on the inner side of the top of the guide portion 7. The inclined surface provided on the top of the guide portion 7 can guide the energy storage plate 9 that is close to each other during installation to prevent installation misalignment, and can ensure that the upper shell 4 and the lower shell 15 are aligned during installation, allowing the energy storage plate 9 to accurately reach the position defined by the elastic limiting structure and the side limit portion 8. Obviously, the guide portion 7 needs to contact the energy storage plate 9 before installation, and its length is generally longer than the side limit portion 8. After installation, the lower shell 15 will be close. In order to prevent interference between the guide portion 7 and the internal components of the lower shell 15, a slot suitable for the guide portion 7 to pass through is provided in the lower shell 15. After the energy storage plate 9 is guided, the guide portion 7 and the slot can cooperate to pass through, thereby preventing interference.

[0032] In order to further improve the shockproof performance of the energy storage plate 9, the lower shell 15 is provided with an elastic mounting portion for positioning the energy storage plate 9. The elastic mounting portion enables the energy storage plate 9 to have a movable range in the up and down directions after being installed in the lower shell 15. The buffering principle here is similar to that provided by the elastic limiting structure. The elastic mounting portion includes a limiting sleeve that fits the outer contour of the energy storage plate 9 and a reset spring for elastically supporting the bottom of the energy storage plate 9. The limiting sleeve can ensure that the energy storage plate 9 will not be displaced when placed on the lower shell 15, and under the action of the reset spring, the energy storage plate 9 is initially located at a higher position in the limiting sleeve. As the installation proceeds, the energy storage plate 9 and the fixed plate 5 are connected, and the reset spring is gradually compressed. After the installation is completed, the lower shell 15 and the upper shell 4 can fix the energy storage plate 9 in a relatively stable range. Even if the energy storage plate 9 moves slightly, it will not be out of coordination with the conductive part 11, thereby stabilizing the power supply.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, the upper housing 4 is provided with multiple top surface buffers 14 between the fixed stopper and the movable stopper 13. These buffers 14 are elastically deformable cushions, spaced apart from each other. The stopper sleeve is provided with several venting grooves. When the lower housing 15 is assembled, the return spring at its base can be compressed to its elastic limit, allowing the cushions to deform elastically to provide a small range of elastic movement.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcement portion is provided at the bottom of the conductive portion 11. The reinforcement portion surrounds the conductive portion 11, and the bottom surface of the reinforcement portion is at the same height as the bottom surface of the fixing plate 5. The guide portion 7 is generally configured as several protruding conductors, and the reinforcement portion can effectively ensure the stability of the conductors. When the corresponding conductive grooves of the energy storage plate 9 contact the conductors, the reinforcement portion can ensure the strength of the interaction between the two.
