Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 The system includes a protective back cover 1, which supports and protects the normal operation of other components. The back cover 1 has two sets of connecting grooves 14 inside, each containing a connecting piece 16. A main housing 15 is mounted on the surface of the connecting piece 16. The connection between the connecting piece 16 and the connecting grooves 14 serves to install and connect the main housing 15 and the protective back cover 1. The main housing 15 houses some wiring harnesses and electronic components. A pre-embedded groove 4 is located at one end of the main housing 15, facilitating the connection of electronic components to the interior of the main housing 15. A rubber ring 5 is mounted on the surface of the main housing 15. The protective rear cover 1 has several sets of connecting slots 6 on its surface, and a steering groove 7 on the other side of the protective rear cover 1. A protective glass layer 8 is provided on the surface of the steering groove 7. The steering groove 7 is designed to facilitate the installation of the turn signal inside, while the protective glass layer 8 is designed to protect the turn signal. A buffer sheet 2 is provided on the back of the protective rear cover 1. The buffer sheet 2 is made of rubber. When the vehicle is involved in a minor collision or scrape, the buffer sheet 2 can withstand a certain impact force and reduce the degree of damage to the rearview mirror housing. A wiring harness hole 3 is provided on one side of the main housing 15. The wiring harness hole 3 is designed to facilitate the passing of the turn signal wiring harness and its connection to the vehicle's power supply.
[0024] Several sets of connecting slots 6 are each equipped with a semi-circular A-shaped locking block 9 at their inner top. A connecting block 10 is slidably connected inside the connecting slot 6. A semi-circular B-shaped locking block 11 is located at one end of the top of the connecting block 10. Both semi-circular A-shaped locking blocks 9 and semi-circular B-shaped locking blocks 11 are semi-circular, but their circular angles are opposite. When semi-circular A-shaped locking blocks 9 and semi-circular B-shaped locking blocks 11 come into contact, resistance is generated. The operator needs to continue extending inward, causing the connecting block 10 to bend downward at a certain angle. When semi-circular B-shaped locking blocks 11 pass through semi-circular A-shaped locking blocks 9, the connecting block 10 springs back, and semi-circular B-shaped locking blocks 11 are locked by semi-circular A-shaped locking blocks 9. The surface of the retaining block 10 is provided with a mirror ring 12, which is used to fix the rearview mirror lens and keep it in the correct position. It also provides some protection for the rearview mirror lens. The bottom of the A semi-circular retaining block 9 is engaged with the top of the B semi-circular retaining block 11. The surface of the mirror ring 12 is provided with a rain guard 13, and the surface of the rubber ring 5 is provided on the back of the mirror ring 12. The top and inner top of the rain guard 13 are provided with anti-slip strips. The top of the rain guard 13 fits into the inner top of the mirror ring 12. When the car is driving in the rain, the rain guard 13 can effectively block the rain, allowing the driver to observe the situation behind the vehicle more clearly through the rearview mirror, thus improving driving safety. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0026] A modular car rearview mirror housing, based on the basic structure in specific embodiment one, further discloses the following: The working principle is as follows: the operator aligns two sets of connecting pieces 16 with the inside of two sets of connecting slots 14 and inserts them to connect the protective rear shell 1 and the main shell 15. Then, the connecting block 10 is aligned with the inside of the connecting slot 6 and inserted. When the connecting block 10 enters the inside of the connecting slot 6, the B semi-circular block 11 will contact the A semi-circular block 9. As it continues to extend inward, resistance will be generated between the B semi-circular block 11 and the A semi-circular block 9, causing the connecting block 10 to bend at a certain angle. When the B semi-circular block 11 passes through the surface of the A semi-circular block 9, the connecting block 10 quickly rebounds, connecting the protective rear shell 1, the main shell 15 and the mirror ring 12. The rubber ring 5 is located at the connection between the protective rear shell 1 and the mirror ring 12, which can reduce the entry of rainwater into the interior of the connection.
[0027] In summary:
[0028] 1. The rearview mirror housing is configured with a rubber ring 5, connecting slot 6, A semi-circular locking block 9, B semi-circular locking block 11, connecting block 10, main housing 15, connecting groove 14, and connecting piece 16. When installing the rearview mirror housing, the operator first aligns the two sets of connecting pieces 16 with the inside of the two sets of connecting grooves 14 and inserts them to connect the main housing 15 and the protective rear housing 1. Then, the connecting block 10 is aligned with the inside of the connecting slot 6 and inserted. The connecting block 10 moves inside the connecting slot 6, causing the A semi-circular locking block 9 and B semi-circular locking block 11 to contact and engage with each other, so that the mirror ring 12, main housing 15, and protective rear housing 1 are combined and connected. This facilitates the quick disassembly and installation of the rearview mirror housing. The rubber ring 5 is set at the connection between the mirror ring 12 and the protective rear housing 1 to improve the sealing of the connection and prevent rainwater from entering the connection.
