Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobiles, in particular to an exterior rearview mirror turn signal assembly with a multifunctional display. Background Art

[0002] Common exterior mirror turn signals are essentially integrated, and many automakers have also innovated with them, such as Mercedes-Benz's inverted V-shaped turn signals, GAC's large C-shaped turn signals, and Geely's N-shaped turn signals. Driving presents numerous safety hazards, leading regulations to mandate the installation of turn signals on exterior mirrors. Furthermore, to enhance the decorative effect, logo decorative lights are often installed on the front side of the exterior mirrors. These logo decorative lights and turn signals share the same PCBA board, and when both are activated simultaneously, the brightness of the turn signals will not meet national regulatory requirements. This can pose a safety hazard, especially during nighttime driving, necessitating improvements. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-8 A multi-function display exterior rearview mirror turn signal assembly includes an exterior rearview mirror housing 1 and a light assembly.

[0023] The exterior mirror housing 1 can be made of existing exterior mirror materials and its shape can be designed as needed. A first mounting notch corresponding to the turn signal is provided on the exterior side of the exterior mirror housing 1. The exterior side refers to the side facing away from the vehicle body when installed on the vehicle. A second mounting notch 12 and a third mounting notch 13 are provided on the front side of the exterior mirror housing 1, corresponding to the logo display light 5 and the decorative light 6, respectively. The front side refers to the front side of the vehicle when driving.

[0024] A lens fixing seat 14 for assembling the rearview mirror lens is provided on the rear side of the exterior rearview mirror housing 1. The lens fixing seat 14 facilitates the fixed installation of the lens of the exterior rearview mirror of the vehicle.

[0025] During use, the exterior rearview mirror housing 1 can be fixedly connected to the vehicle body via existing connecting parts.

[0026] The lamp assembly is arranged in the exterior rearview mirror housing 1. The lamp assembly includes an assembly seat 2, a front side plate 3, a turn signal 4, a logo display light 5, a decorative light 6, a first PCBA board 7 and a second PCBA board 8.

[0027] The assembly base 2 is fixedly connected to the exterior rearview mirror housing 1. The assembly base 2 is provided with a connecting base 21 for connecting to the exterior rearview mirror housing 1. A positioning base is provided on the inner side of the exterior rearview mirror housing 1 for positioning the assembly base 2. During installation, the assembly base 2 is positioned by the positioning base on the inner side of the exterior rearview mirror housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the exterior rearview mirror housing 1 by the connecting base and bolts.

[0028] A first assembly slot 22 corresponding to the first PCBA board 7 and a second assembly slot 23 corresponding to the second PCBA board 8 are provided on the assembly seat 2. The first PCBA board 7 is fixed in the first assembly slot 22, and the second PCBA board 8 is fixed in the second assembly slot 23. A connecting wire groove 24 is provided between the first assembly slot 22 and the second assembly slot 23. The connecting wire 9 between the first PCBA board 7 and the second PCBA board 8 is embedded in the connecting wire groove 24. The first PCBA board 7 and the second PCBA board 8 are connected in series through the connecting wire 9.

[0029] A power interface 25 is also provided on the rear side of the assembly base 2, electrically connected to the first PCBA board 7 and the second PCBA board 8. This configuration simplifies the assembly base structure, requiring only one power interface when making the mold, reducing the assembly base's manufacturing cost. Furthermore, the lamp assembly only requires a single external connection cable, simplifying wiring.

[0030] The front side plate 3 is provided with raised lampshades corresponding to the turn signal 4, the logo display light 5 and the decorative light 6 respectively. The lampshade of the turn signal 4 is arranged on the outer side of the front side plate 3. The positions and patterns of the lampshades of the logo display light 5 and the decorative light 6 can be set according to design requirements, for example, according to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the lampshade of the logo display light 5 is set in the middle position of the front side panel 3, and the lampshade of the decorative light 6 is set between the logo display light 5 and the turn signal light 4.

[0031] The turn signal 4, logo display light 5, and decorative light 6 each include several LED light strips 31, which are embedded in the front panel 3 in a position corresponding to the lampshade. The LED light strip 31 of the turn signal 4 is connected to the first PCBA board 7, which drives the turn signal 4. The light strips of the logo display light 5 and decorative light 6 are connected to the second PCBA board 8, which drives the logo display light 5 and decorative light 6. This arrangement can increase the brightness of the turn signal 4, logo display light 5, and decorative light 6, and enhance their decorative effect.

[0032] When in use, the multifunctional display exterior rearview mirror turn signal assembly of the present invention is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body via a connector, and the power interface is connected to the vehicle's power cord. After power is applied, the logo display light, decorative light, and turn signal light can all be illuminated according to the designed scheme. For example, as one embodiment, the logo display light and decorative light are always illuminated, while the turn signal light is illuminated only when the vehicle turns. A second embodiment is that the logo display light is always illuminated, and the decorative light and turn signal light up together when the vehicle turns. Alternatively, other embodiments may be adopted. The shape and structure of the turn signal light can be designed in accordance with relevant regulations. By independently controlling the turn signal light through the first PCBA board, the brightness of the turn signal light can be guaranteed, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle when turning. The color, pattern, and installation position of the logo display light and decorative light can be designed according to design requirements to enhance their decorative effect.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
