[0003] The present application provides a rearview mirror mounting structure, a rearview mirror assembly and a vehicle to solve the technical problems of some known rearview mirrors, such as the difficulty in mounting and the low mounting accuracy.

[0004] The present application provides a rearview mirror mounting structure for mounting a rearview mirror on a base member, wherein the base member is provided with a mating hole, and the rearview mirror mounting structure comprises a mounting member, a limiting portion, a snap-on portion, and a fastener. The mounting member is used to connect the rearview mirror. The limiting portion is connected to the mounting member, the limiting portion is received in the mating hole, and the limiting portion is used to limit the movement of the mounting member relative to the base member. The snap-on portion is connected to one end of the limiting portion facing away from the mounting member, and the snap-on portion is used to limit the limiting portion from escaping from the base member. The fastener is used to fix the mounting member to the base member.

[0005] According to the rearview mirror mounting structure of the present application, during the installation process of the rearview mirror and the base member, the snap portion is first passed through the mating hole, and the limiting portion is accommodated in the mating hole. The limiting portion can limit the movement of the mounting member relative to the base member, and the snap portion can prevent the limiting portion from escaping from the base member. In this way, the mounting member can remain stably pre-installed on the base member, and the operator no longer needs to keep the mounting member aligned with the base member during the subsequent fastening of the fastener, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the rearview mirror. At the same time, during the process of operating the fastener to secure the mounting member to the base member, the limiting portion still serves to limit the movement of the mounting member relative to the base member, keeping the mounting member and the base member relatively fixed and the gap between the mounting member and the base member unchanged, thereby significantly reducing the possibility of positional offset between the mounting member and the base member, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the rearview mirror.

The avoidance groove has an opening formed on the end surface of the limiting portion away from the mounting member, and the engaging section extends from the opening into the avoidance groove.

[0010] In one possible implementation:

[0011] The engaging section is elastically connected to the connecting section, and the engaging section can be accommodated in the avoidance groove to pass through the matching hole. The engaging section of the buckle portion passing through the matching hole extends relative to the connecting section and can abut against the base component to limit the limiting portion from falling out of the base component.

[0012] In one possible implementation:

[0013] The limiting portion includes a first limiting section and a second limiting section, the first limiting section is connected to the mounting member, the first limiting section is accommodated in the matching hole, the second limiting section is connected to an end of the first limiting section away from the mounting member, and the snap portion is connected to an end of the second limiting section away from the first limiting section.

[0014] In one possible implementation:

[0054] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0055] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may also be an element centered therein. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may also be an element centered therein. When an element is considered to be "set on" another element, it may be directly set on the other element or there may also be an element centered therein. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0056] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0057] Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features of the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0058] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides a vehicle 300 including a base member 301 and a rearview mirror assembly 200. The rearview mirror assembly 200 is connected to the base member 301. The base member 301 may be constructed as a door sheet metal 302.

[0059] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rearview mirror assembly 200 includes a rearview mirror 201 and a rearview mirror mounting structure 100. The rearview mirror mounting structure 100 is connected to the base member 301. The rearview mirror 201 is connected to the rearview mirror mounting structure 100.

[0060] The rearview mirror mounting structure 100 is used to mount the rearview mirror 201 on a base member 301. The base member 301 can be any structure such as a vehicle body sheet metal, a pillar, or a crossbeam. In this embodiment, the base member 301 is constructed as a door sheet metal 302. The base member 301 has a matching hole 303 (see Figure 3 The rearview mirror mounting structure 100 includes a mounting member 10, a limiting portion 20, a buckle portion 30, and a fastener 40. The mounting member 10 is used to connect the rearview mirror 201. The limiting portion 20 is connected to the mounting member 10 and is received in the mating hole 303. The limiting portion 20 is used to limit the movement of the mounting member 10 relative to the base member 301. The buckle portion 30 is connected to the end of the limiting portion 20 that is away from the mounting member 10. The buckle portion 30 is used to limit the limiting portion 20 from escaping from the base member 301. The fastener 40 is used to secure the mounting member 10 to the base member 301.

[0061] During the installation process of the rearview mirror 201 and the base member 301, the buckle portion 30 is first inserted through the mating hole 303 and the stopper portion 20 is received in the mating hole 303. The stopper portion 20 can restrict the movement of the mounting member 10 relative to the base member 301, and the buckle portion 30 can prevent the stopper portion 20 from being removed from the base member 301. In this way, the mounting member 10 can be pre-installed stably on the base member 301. When the operator subsequently secures the fastener 40, he or she no longer needs to keep the mounting member 10 aligned with the base member 301, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the rearview mirror 201. At the same time, in the process of operating the fastener 40 to fix the mounting member 10 to the base member 301, the limiting portion 20 still serves to limit the movement of the mounting member 10 relative to the base member 301, so that the mounting member 10 and the base member 301 remain relatively fixed, so that the gap between the mounting member 10 and the base member 301 remains unchanged, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of positional offset between the mounting member 10 and the base member 301, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the rearview mirror 201.

[0062] In some embodiments, the fastener 40 can be configured as a fastening structure 50, such as a fastening bolt or a fastening screw. During rotation of the fastening bolt relative to the mounting member 10 and the base member 301, the mounting member 10 is restrained by the stopper 20 and thus prevents rotation relative to the base member 301, thereby maintaining a stable surface gap between the mounting member 10 and the base member 301. The number and distribution of the fasteners 40 can be adjusted based on actual installation requirements. For example, the number of fasteners 40 can be set to two, three, or more.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The rearview mirror assembly 200 further includes a shield 202 and a sealing gasket 203. The shield 202 is spaced apart from the base member 301. The sealing gasket 203 is installed between the shield 202 and the base member 301. The mounting member 10 is connected to the shield 202 and passes through the sealing gasket 203. The sealing gasket 203 provides a seal and noise reduction function between the shield 202 and the base member 301.

[0064] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 20 and the mounting member 10 are constructed as an integrally formed structure.

[0065] In some embodiments, the position-limiting portion 20 and the mating hole 303 are formed into an interference fit or a transition fit. This creates a relatively large frictional force between the position-limiting portion 20 and the base member 301. During the installation of the fastener 40, the force exerted by the fastener 40 on the base member 301 is smaller than the frictional force, thereby enabling the mounting member 10 to maintain its position relative to the base member 301.

[0066] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 20 is constructed as a solid structure, that is, there are no holes or grooves provided inside the limiting portion 20. In this way, the strength of the limiting portion 20 can be improved, thereby increasing the friction between the limiting portion 20 and the base member 301 and making the limiting portion 20 less likely to deform.

[0067] In some embodiments, the material of the limiting portion 20 may be a metal material to improve the strength of the limiting portion 20. The metal material may be specifically configured as aluminum alloy or the like.

[0068] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the limiting portion 20 perpendicular to its length is circular. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the limiting portion 20 perpendicular to its length can also be elliptical, polygonal, or other shapes to further reduce the possibility of the limiting portion 20 rotating relative to the base member 301.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The buckle portion 30 includes a connecting section 31 and a locking section 32. The connecting section 31 is connected to the end of the limiting portion 20 away from the mounting member 10, and the locking section 32 is connected to the end of the connecting section 31 away from the mounting member 10 and extends toward the mounting member 10.

[0070] The connecting section 31 is installed at the end of the limiting portion 20 , which makes the assembly of the buckle portion 30 and the limiting portion 20 more convenient and less difficult, thereby reducing the assembly cost of the rearview mirror mounting structure 100 .

[0071] In other embodiments, an annular groove may be formed on the side of the position-limiting portion 20, and the connecting section 31 may be configured as a connecting ring. The connecting ring is sleeved within the annular groove, thereby connecting the snap portion 30 to the side of the position-limiting portion 20. This also achieves a fixed connection between the snap portion 30 and the position-limiting portion 20.

[0072] In some embodiments, the diameter of the mating hole 303 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting section 31, and smaller than the diameter of the circle surrounding the side surface of the end of the engaging section 32 facing away from the connecting section 31. This ensures that the buckle portion 30 can smoothly pass through the mating hole 303 while also ensuring that the engaging section 32 functions as a retaining member.

[0073] For example, the outer diameter of the connecting section 31 is 8 mm, the diameter of the circle on which the side surface of the engaging section 32 facing away from the connecting section 31 is located is 9.2 mm, and the diameter of the mating hole 303 is 8.6 mm. In other embodiments, the dimensions of the connecting section 31, the engaging section 32, and the mating hole 303 can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The connecting section 31 is fixedly connected to the limiting portion 20 by a fastening structure 50. The fastening structure 50 can be configured as a self-tapping screw, a pin or a bolt, etc. At the same time, the buckle portion 30 can also be configured as an integrally formed structure with the limiting portion 20 by an integrally formed manner.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8The side of the limiting portion 20 is provided with an escape groove C, which is formed inwardly from the side of the limiting portion 20. The escape groove C has an opening formed on the end surface of the limiting portion 20 facing away from the mounting member 10, and the engaging section 32 extends from the opening into the escape groove C. Thus, during the process of the limiting portion 20 and the snap portion 30 passing through the mating hole 303, the snap portion 30 can be accommodated in the escape groove C, thereby reducing the possibility of the snap portion 30 restricting the limiting portion 20 from passing through the mating hole 303 and improving the convenience of the snap portion 30 passing through the mating hole 303. After the snap portion 30 passes through the mating hole 303, the snap portion 30 is no longer restricted by the base member 301 and can expand in a direction away from the limiting portion 20 and abut against the surface of the base member 301, thereby preventing the limiting portion 20 from being removed from the base member 301.

[0076] In some embodiments, the locking section 32 is elastically connected to the connecting section 31, and the locking section 32 can be accommodated in the avoidance groove C to pass through the matching hole 303. The locking section 32 of the buckle portion 30 passing through the matching hole 303 extends relative to the connecting section 31 and can abut against the base member 301 to limit the limiting portion 20 from falling off the base member 301.

[0077] It can be understood that the locking section 32 can be made of elastic material, so that the locking section 32 and the connecting section 31 can be deformed relative to the connecting section 31 and accommodated in the matching groove. When not restricted by external force, the locking section 32 will produce elastic deformation in the direction away from the side of the limiting portion 20 under its own elastic action, so as to be able to abut against the base part 301.

[0078] In other embodiments, the locking section 32 can also be indirectly connected to the connecting section 31 through elastic structures such as springs and elastic columns. When the locking section 32 passes through the matching hole 303, the springs, elastic columns, etc. are subjected to pressure, so that the locking section 32 is accommodated in the avoidance groove C.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 In a cross section perpendicular to the length of the limiting portion 20, the avoidance groove C is C-shaped. Two engaging segments 32 are provided, each engaging with the avoidance groove C at either end along the circumference of the limiting portion 20. In other embodiments, the avoidance groove C can be configured as an annular groove, with multiple engaging segments 32 distributed along the circumference of the avoidance groove C.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the engaging section 32 gradually decreases in a direction away from the mounting member 10 , so that the engaging section 32 can pass through the fitting hole 303 , thereby improving the installation convenience of the rearview mirror mounting structure 100 .

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8The limiting portion 20 includes a first limiting section 21 and a second limiting section 22. The first limiting section 21 is connected to the mounting member 10 and is received in the mating hole 303. The second limiting section 22 is connected to the end of the first limiting section 21 facing away from the mounting member 10. The buckle portion 30 is connected to the end of the second limiting section 22 facing away from the first limiting section 21.

[0082] In this way, the portion of the position-limiting portion 20 that mounts the snap portion 30 is separated from the portion of the position-limiting portion 20 that engages with the mating hole 303, ensuring that the position-limiting portion 20 simultaneously performs both the engagement and limiting functions, ensuring that the two functions do not interfere with each other. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first position-limiting segment 21 is larger than that of the second position-limiting segment 22, thereby improving the reliability of the position-limiting engagement between the position-limiting portion 20 and the mating hole 303.

[0083] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 A first gap H1 is defined between the end of the snap portion 30 that is closest to the mounting member 10 and the first limiting section 21. This provides ample space for the snap portion 30 to engage with the base member 301, ensuring the effective engagement of the snap portion 30. A first gap H1 is defined between the end of the engaging section 32 that faces away from the connecting section 31 and the end surface of the first limiting section 21 that is closest to the second limiting section 22.

[0084] The first gap H1 may be set to be between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm. For example, the first gap H1 may be set to any one of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, and 1.5 mm.

[0085] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 A second gap H2 is formed between the connecting section 31 and the second limiting section 22. In this way, the engaging section 32 can be elastically deformed relative to the connecting section 31, and can then pass through the matching hole 303 smoothly to form a snap fit with the base member 301.

[0086] The second gap H2 may be set to be between 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm. For example, the second gap H2 may be set to any one of 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.8 mm.

[0087] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting portion 20 gradually decreases in the direction away from the mounting member 10. In this way, the limiting portion 20 passing through the matching hole 303 can be guided to improve the matching accuracy between the mounting member 10 and the base member 301 and improve assembly efficiency.

[0088] Specifically, the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting portion 20 along the direction perpendicular to its length is smaller than the hole area of ​​the matching hole 303 , and the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the limiting portion 20 along the direction perpendicular to its length is larger than the hole area of ​​the matching hole 303 .

[0089] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solutions of the present application should not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
