Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an interior rearview mirror with integrated emergency distress function. The interior rearview mirror with integrated emergency distress function includes an emergency distress component 200. The emergency distress component 200 can add a one-button alarm function to the rearview mirror, which can effectively utilize the limited space inside the vehicle and solve the problem that some vehicles cannot quickly send out distress signals in emergency situations.

[0034] Specifically, the main component 100 includes a lens housing 101, a lens 102, a fixing plate 103, and a lens mount 104. The lens 102 is located on one side of the lens housing 101, the fixing plate 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the lens 102 and snaps into the lens housing 101, and the lens mount 104 is located on the other side of the lens housing 101; and,

[0035] An emergency distress signal component 200 is disposed in the inner cavity of the lens housing 101 and includes a distress signal module 201, a button module 202, a front frame 203, and a support member 204. The distress signal module 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 103, the button module 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the lens housing 101 and cooperates with the distress signal module 201, the front frame 203 is disposed on one side of the button module 202, and the support member 204 contacts one side of the lens 102.

[0036] The mirror 102 and the mounting plate 103 are connected by 3M adhesive, and the rearview mirror can be assembled by snapping the mounting plate 103 to the mirror housing 101. The mirror mount 104 facilitates the connection of the rearview mirror to the vehicle.

[0037] One-button alarm can be realized through the distress module 201 and the button module 202, providing drivers with a simple and safe way to make emergency calls. The front frame 203 can limit the lens 102 to prevent the lens 102 and the fixing plate 103 from falling off due to impact in the event of a vehicle collision, thus preventing secondary injuries to personnel. The support member 204 can support the lens 102, so that the back of the lens 102 is evenly stressed.

[0038] It should be noted that the distress module 201 includes a communication module, a GPS positioning system, a power supply module, and a microcontroller. When the user presses the button module 202, the system will detect the button signal. After receiving the button signal, the microcontroller will activate the dialing function and automatically dial the predetermined help number (such as family, friends, or emergency services) through the communication module. The GPS positioning system can provide real-time location information, and the button module 202 is electrically connected to the microcontroller. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0039] Specifically, the button module 202 includes a mounting plate 202a fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mirror housing 101. A silicone button 202b is provided on one side of the mounting plate 202a, and a function button 202c is provided on one side of the silicone button 202b. The function button 202c is attached to one side of the silicone button 202b. A through groove 202d is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 202a. An auxiliary button 202e is provided on one side of the through groove 202d. The auxiliary button 202e passes through the through groove 202d and is movably connected to the through groove 202d. A connecting part 202f is provided on one side of the auxiliary button 202e.

[0040] Touching the function button 202c can activate the silicone button 202b. Both the silicone button 202b and the auxiliary button 202e are connected to the input port of the microcontroller. When the button is pressed, the microcontroller can detect the corresponding signal change. The function button 202c is an alarm button. After the system confirms that the button is valid, it will start dialing the emergency call. The auxiliary button 202e can be used to control the volume, etc. This is existing technology, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.

[0041] Specifically, the connecting part 202f includes a docking hole 202f-1 opened on one side of the auxiliary button 202e, and a docking rod 202f-2 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the docking hole 202f-1. The docking rod 202f-2 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 202a.

[0042] The auxiliary button 202e can be easily connected to the mounting plate 202a by the cooperation of the docking hole 202f-1 and the docking rod 202f-2. This can limit the movement of the auxiliary button 202e, and when the auxiliary button 202e is pressed, it can move while maintaining the limit, thereby outputting a signal. It should be noted that the auxiliary button 202e is made of flexible material.

[0043] Specifically, an extension 203a is fixedly connected to one side of the front frame 203, and a receiving part 203b is provided at the bottom of one side of the front frame 203.

[0044] The extension 203a enters the mirror housing 101 after the front frame 203 contacts the mirror housing 101, which makes the connection between the front frame 203 and the mirror housing 101 tighter. The receiving part 203b allows the function button 202c and the auxiliary button 202e to move inside it, thereby avoiding physical interference from the front frame 203 on the movement of the function button 202c and the auxiliary button 202e.

[0045] Specifically, the outer surface of the extension 203a is provided with a slot 203a-1, and the inner surface of the mirror housing 101 is fixedly connected with a block 203a-2, which cooperates with the slot 203a-1.

[0046] The cooperation of the locking block 203a-2 and the locking slot 203a-1 facilitates the connection and fixation of the mirror housing 101 and the front bracket 203, making installation convenient and facilitating later disassembly and maintenance.

[0047] Specifically, the receiving part 203b includes a first receiving groove 203b-1 opened at the bottom of one side of the front frame 203, a function button 202c movably connected to the inner cavity of the first receiving groove 203b-1, and a second receiving groove 203b-2 provided on both sides of the first receiving groove 203b-1. The second receiving groove 203b-2 is opened on one side of the front frame 203, and an auxiliary button 202e movably connected to the inner cavity of the second receiving groove 203b-2.

[0048] By moving the function button 202c, it can slide within the cavity of the first receiving groove 203b-1, pushing the silicone button 202b to move and outputting a signal to the microcontroller. Conversely, the elasticity of the silicone button 202b can be used to reset the function button 202c. By moving the auxiliary button 202e, it can slide within the cavity of the second receiving groove 203b-2 and output a signal to the microcontroller. Since the auxiliary button 202e is made of flexible material, it has a certain degree of elasticity and can be automatically reset.

[0049] It should be noted that a spring-loaded tab can be provided on one side of the silicone button 202b to help with reset. This is existing technology, and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Reference Figure 7 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0052] Specifically, the support member 204 includes a support block 204a fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the mirror housing 101, and a silicone block 204b fixedly connected to one side of the support block 204a.

[0053] The support block 204a supports the edge of one side of the lens 102, which increases its stability, while the silicone block 204b protects the surface of the lens 102 from scratches.

[0054] Specifically, the support member 204 also includes an upper support plate 204c fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the mirror housing 101, and a lower support plate 204d fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the mirror housing 101.

[0055] The multiple support points of the upper support plate 204c and the lower support plate 204d mean that the lens 102 is not supported only by local contact points, but by multiple evenly distributed support points to ensure that the lens 102 is subjected to uniform force.

[0056] Specifically, one side of the mirror base 104 is connected to the connecting frame 104a, and one side of the mirror base 104 passes through the connecting frame 104a and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 104a.

[0057] The end of the mirror mount 104 enters the mirror housing 101 through the connecting frame 104a and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 104a by bolts. This allows the mirror mount 104 and the mirror housing 101 to form a whole, which helps to improve the overall stability.

[0058] Specifically, a pressing ring 104b is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 104a, and the pressing ring 104b contacts the mirror base 104.

[0059] The pressing ring 104b is fixed to the connecting frame 104a by bolts, and the pressing ring 104b abuts against the lens mount 104, which can further strengthen the connection to the lens mount 104.

[0060] In use, the lens 102 is connected to the fixing plate 103 with 3M adhesive, and the fixing plate 103 is snapped into the mirror housing 101. At this time, the lens 102 is supported at multiple points by the support block 204a, silicone block 204b, upper support plate 204c and lower support plate 204d, so as to ensure that the lens 102 is subjected to uniform force and reduce the probability of deformation affecting its use. Then, the front frame 203 can be connected to the mirror housing 101 by the docking of the slot 203a-1 and the block 203a-2. At the same time, the front frame 203 limits the lens 102, which can prevent the lens 102 from falling off due to collisions or other external impacts, causing secondary injury to personnel, and maintaining the integrity of the rearview mirror.

[0061] In case of an emergency, pressing the function button 202c will cause it to slide within the first receiving slot 203b-1 and push the silicone button 202b to send a signal to the emergency call module 201, activating the function of dialing a preset phone number. Simultaneously, pressing the auxiliary button 202e will cause it to slide within the second receiving slot 203b-2 and send a signal to the emergency call module 201, controlling functions such as volume. This can solve the problem that some vehicles may not be able to call for help in time due to the lack of independent and convenient emergency call equipment, thus missing the best rescue time.

[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
