[0031] Main body part 100, including mirror shell 101, mirror seat 102 and mirror 103, mirror shell 101 is located at one side of mirror seat 102, and mirror 103 is located at one side of mirror shell 101, and

[0032] Connecting assembly 200 is arranged in the inner cavity of mirror shell 101 and includes upper boss 201, lower boss 202, side boss 203 and reinforcing member 204, the upper boss 201 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the inner cavity of the mirror shell 101, the lower boss 202 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the mirror shell 101, the side boss 203 is fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the mirror shell 101, and the reinforcing member 204 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the mirror shell 101.

[0033] The rearview mirror can be conveniently installed with the vehicle through the mirror seat 102, the multi-point connection of the mirror shell 101 and the mirror 103 can be realized through the cooperation of the upper boss 201, the lower boss 202 and the side boss 203, each contact point can be more accurately controlled, and bubbles can be avoided, the fixing structure is simple, the upper boss 201, the lower boss 202 and the side boss 203 are integrally molded on the mirror shell 101, the process is simple and convenient, and the cost is relatively low, and the reinforcing member 204 can make the mirror shell 101 maintain high strength and rigidity without increasing excessive weight.

[0034] Specifically, the reinforcing member 204 includes a longitudinal reinforcing rib 204a arranged at one side of the side boss 203, the longitudinal reinforcing rib 204a is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the mirror shell 101, and the longitudinal reinforcing rib 204a is symmetrically arranged in the inner cavity of the mirror shell 101.

At the same time, the design of the transverse reinforcing ribs 204b can also reduce the noise generated by external wind or vibration to a certain extent, thereby improving driving comfort.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model, and this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.

[0040] Specifically, the mirror base 102 includes a mounting frame 102a and a fixing frame 102b. The mounting frame 102a is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame 102b. A joint portion 102c is provided on one side of the fixing frame 102b.

[0041] The mounting bracket 102 a can be conveniently connected and fixed to the vehicle, while the fixing bracket 102 b can be conveniently connected to the mirror housing 101 .

[0042] Specifically, mounting portions 102a-1 are provided around the mounting frame 102a, and the mounting portions 102a-1 and the mounting frame 102a are an integrally formed structure.

[0043] Through the reasonable design of the installation part 102a-1, the rearview mirror can be more integrated with the car body, avoiding abrupt seams and improving the overall aesthetics. The one-piece design avoids the connection and assembly of multiple parts, making the entire rearview mirror more stable and stronger when subjected to external forces.

[0044] Specifically, one side of the mounting portion 102a-1 is provided with mounting holes 102a-1a, and there are multiple groups of mounting holes 102a-1a.

[0045] By designing multiple mounting holes 102a-1a, the mounting portion 102a-1 can evenly distribute the force points, ensuring that the rearview mirror can remain stably in place when driving at high speed or being impacted by external forces.

[0046] Specifically, the connection between the mounting portion 102a-1 and the mounting bracket 102a is arc-shaped.

[0047] The arc-shaped mounting portion 102a-1 can be in close contact with the curved surface of the vehicle body during installation, which helps to more evenly distribute the force on the rearview mirror, reduce local stress concentration, and thus improve the stability of the fixation.

[0048] Specifically, the joint portion 102c includes a ball joint 102c-1 and a ball seat 102c-2.

[0049] The ball joint 102c-1 and the ball seat 102c-2 cooperate to facilitate the rotation of the mirror housing 101, and can facilitate the user to adjust the angle of the lens 103, thereby helping the driver to adjust the height and field of view of the rearview mirror.

[0050] Specifically, the bottom of the fixing frame 102b is open.

[0051] The design of the bottom opening is mainly to facilitate the wiring of wires, data cables or other electronic accessories, and to ensure that some electronic components in the rearview mirror can work properly.

[0052] Specifically, the mirror housing 101 and the lens 103 are both in the shape of an inverted trapezoid that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0053] The design of being wide at the top and narrow at the bottom helps to expand the field of view reflected by the lens 103, allowing the driver to see more of the rear situation, especially to better observe the traffic conditions in the distance. The wide upper design is suitable for covering a farther rear area, while the narrow lower design avoids occupying too much of the front window field of view.

[0054] When in use, multiple small pieces of 3M tape are respectively adhered to the upper boss 201, the lower boss 202 and the side boss 203, and then one side of the lens 103 is respectively adhered to the 3M tape on the upper boss 201, the lower boss 202 and the side boss 203. At this time, the mirror housing 101 and the lens 103 can be connected at multiple points. This multi-point connection design can disperse the pressure applied to each point and avoid a single bonding point from being subjected to excessive pressure. In this way, the stress between the lens 103 and the mirror housing 101 will be more evenly distributed, thereby improving the stability of the bonding and avoiding the formation of bubbles caused by uneven bonding or improper pressure in large-area bonding. At the same time, the structure of the fixing plate is simplified, which can avoid the situation where it is easy to stick crooked, and can optimize production and time costs. The longitudinal reinforcement ribs 204a and the transverse reinforcement ribs 204b can increase the strength and rigidity of the mirror housing 101, thereby improving the impact resistance of the mirror housing 101 when it is hit.

[0055] The mirror housing 101 and the fixing bracket 102b can be connected by the ball joint 102c-1 and the ball seat 102c-2, and the angle can be adjusted at will. At this time, the mirror can be connected and installed with the vehicle through the mounting bracket 102a to facilitate the use of the rearview mirror.

[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
