Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile, specifically, the utility model relates to an outside rearview mirror assembly and vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The vehicle outside rearview mirror can be divided into two parts of a lens and a mirror seat, in order to meet the regulatory requirements, the lens and the mirror seat must be able to move relative to each other, in order to prevent movement interference and produce abnormal sound, there is a gap between the lens and the mirror seat, in the process of high-speed movement of the vehicle, wind noise "whistle" problem is easy to produce at the gap. The prior art is generally to increase a double-color injection molding structure or increase a soft glue that can be clamped on the mirror seat cover, and the two schemes will cause the mold and single-piece cost to increase more.

[0003] The Chinese patent with the application number 201810541082.9 discloses an outside rearview mirror and vehicle, wherein the outside rearview mirror comprises a substrate piece, a mounting bracket plate and a mirror shell, the substrate piece is arranged in the concave cavity of the mirror shell, the mounting bracket plate is fixed to the substrate piece, and the mounting bracket plate is located between the substrate piece and the mirror shell, and the mounting bracket plate is provided with an electronic communication module and a positioning module.

[0004] It is desirable to provide an improved outside rearview mirror assembly, in particular with regard to improving the wind noise generated by the corner outside rearview mirror assembly. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model aims at solving one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model provides an outside rearview mirror assembly, and the purpose is to reduce wind noise.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the technical scheme that the outside rearview mirror assembly comprises a lens and a mirror seat, a sealing element is arranged at the junction of the lens and the mirror seat, and the sealing element fills the gap between the lens and the mirror seat.

[0007] The lower part of the sealing element is bonded on the mirror seat, and the upper part of the sealing element is interference-fitted with the bottom of the lens.

[0008] The sealing element is a sealing rubber strip made of rubber material.

[0009] The lens is fixed on the substrate of the mirror seat through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft penetrates through the sealing element.

[0010] The sealing element is a ring-shaped closed structure.

[0011] The utility model also provides a vehicle comprising the outside rearview mirror assembly.

[0012] The outer rearview mirror assembly of the utility model, through increase sealing element between lens and mirror seat, can eliminate the gap between lens and mirror seat, prevent the gap of the junction of lens and mirror seat from producing wind noise "whistle" problem in the process of high speed movement of vehicle, reduce wind noise, improve the whole vehicle NVH performance, improve user perception quality, reduce user complaints of wind noise. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0013] The present specification includes the following drawings, and the shown contents are respectively:
