[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1-3 :

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] This embodiment provides a rearview mirror with a lighting module, including:

[0025] Rearview mirror housing 1;

[0026] Mounting base 2, which is fixed inside the rearview mirror housing 1;

[0027] The lighting module 3 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 2 and has an integrated battery 4 inside.

[0028] The mounting base 2 can charge the battery 4 inside the lighting module 3, and the lighting module 3 can be used as an independent handheld lighting device 5 detached from the mounting base 2 and the rearview mirror housing 1.

[0029] The rearview mirror with lighting module 3 is a motorcycle accessory that integrates lighting functions to simultaneously provide rearward visibility and illumination, thus meeting the needs of both visibility and illumination while riding. Its structure includes a rearview mirror housing 1, a mounting base 2, and a lighting module 3. The overall structure is adapted to fit the motorcycle and is installed on both sides of the motorcycle handlebars. The components are assembled to form a whole, and the function can be switched through the detachable connection between the mounting base 2 and the lighting module 3.

[0030] The rearview mirror housing 1 is used to install the lens and provide overall support, protect the internal structure and ensure the normal field of vision function of the rearview mirror. Its structure is a shell-like structure that accommodates the lens. Its shape is adapted to the appearance of the motorcycle and the lens installation requirements. It is fixedly connected to the motorcycle handlebars by bolts, and at the same time supports the mounting base 2.

[0031] Mounting base 2 is used to mount and charge the lighting module 3, thus securing the lighting module 3 and supplying it with energy. Its structure is a base with both connection and charging features, its shape adapted to the lighting module 3. It is bolted to the interior of the rearview mirror housing 1 and is detachably connected to the lighting module 3 for transmitting electrical energy. The mounting base 2 can be connected to the motorcycle's onboard lithium battery via wires to obtain power. When the lighting module 3 is mounted on the mounting base 2, the two form an electrical connection through their conductive structure, thus creating a charging circuit from the motorcycle's onboard lithium battery to the storage battery 4, enabling the charging function of the storage battery.

[0032] The lighting module 3 provides illumination to meet the needs of lateral or emergency lighting during cycling. It is constructed as a module integrating a battery 4, a light source, etc. The light source can be an LED lamp, featuring high brightness and low power consumption, suitable for various lighting scenarios. It is detachably mounted on the mounting base 2 and also includes a switch button for controlling the light source's on / off state. When the lighting module 3 is detached from the mounting base 2 and used as an independent handheld lighting device, the lighting is controlled via the switch button.

[0033] The battery 4 is used to store and provide electrical energy to ensure the lighting power supply of the lighting module 3 in the installed or independent state. Its shape is adapted to the internal space of the lighting module 3, integrated inside the lighting module 3, connected to the circuit inside the lighting module 3, and charged through the mounting base 2.

[0034] According to the above design, when the lighting module 3 is installed on the mounting base 2 of the rearview mirror housing 1, the two are connected and electrically linked through an adapter structure. The mounting base 2 is connected to the motorcycle's power system via wires to obtain power, and charges the battery 4 inside the lighting module 3 through its conductive structure connected to the lighting module 3. In this state, the lighting module 3 can be used as a fixed lighting device to provide side lighting for the motorcycle; when independent lighting is needed, the lighting module 3 can be removed from the mounting base 2, and its internal charged battery 4 can power the light source, allowing the lighting module 3 to be used as an independent handheld lighting device 5. After use, the lighting module 3 can be reinstalled on the mounting base 2, and its battery 4 can be recharged through the mounting base 2 to ensure power supply for subsequent use.

[0035] The mounting base 2 and the lighting module 3 are connected via magnetic attraction and mechanical positioning structure 6. This design ensures the stability and ease of assembly of the connection between the mounting base 2 and the lighting module 3. The magnetic attraction and mechanical positioning structure 6 allow the lighting module 3 to be quickly and accurately installed onto the mounting base 2, forming a reliable connection and preventing loosening or detachment during use. This ensures the lighting module 3 functions properly in a fixed position without affecting the disassembly or removal of either component.

[0036] The mechanical positioning structure 6 includes a positioning protrusion 60 on the lighting module 3 and a positioning groove 61 on the mounting base 2. The purpose of this design is to ensure connection accuracy by clearly defining the specific form of the mechanical positioning structure 6. The positioning protrusion 60 is a columnar protrusion that fits into the positioning groove 61, and the positioning groove 61 is a recessed structure that fits into the positioning protrusion 60. The connection method involves the positioning protrusion 60 embedding into the positioning groove 61 to form a fit, allowing the lighting module 3 and the mounting base 2 to quickly align during connection, limiting their relative displacement. Combined with magnetic attraction, this further enhances connection stability without affecting subsequent disassembly operations.

[0037] The lighting module 3 is provided with a first magnetic attraction part 7, and the mounting base 2 is provided with a second magnetic attraction part 8. When the positioning protrusion 60 and the positioning groove 61 are positioned, the first magnetic attraction part 7 and the second magnetic attraction part 8 are attracted to each other. The purpose of this design is to further enhance the connection reliability and assembly compatibility between the lighting module 3 and the mounting base 2. The first magnetic attraction part 7 is a sheet-like structure with magnetic attraction function, and the second magnetic attraction part 8 is a magnetic attraction structure that matches the first magnetic attraction part 7. Both are made of permanent magnet materials, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, to provide sufficient magnetic attraction force to ensure a firm connection between the lighting module 3 and the mounting base 2. When the positioning protrusion 60 is embedded in the positioning groove 61 to complete mechanical positioning, the first magnetic attraction part 7 and the second magnetic attraction part 8 are attracted simultaneously, so that mechanical positioning and magnetic attraction force work together to ensure accurate alignment when the two are connected, effectively limit relative loosening or displacement, and do not affect the ease of operation when disassembling the two.

[0038] The positioning protrusion 60 and the positioning groove 61 are connected by a matching charging contact 9. The purpose of this design is to achieve stable charging of the lighting module 3 in the installed state. The charging contact 9 is a matching conductive structure, one part of which is a protrusion on the outer surface of the positioning protrusion 60, and the other part is a recessed structure on the inner surface of the positioning groove 61. The connection between the two is that when the positioning protrusion 60 is embedded into the positioning groove 61 and completes the engagement, the protrusion with the contact point and the recessed structure accurately fit together to form a conductive connection, so that the electrical energy of the mounting base 2 is transmitted to the battery 4 in the lighting module 3 through the contact part, ensuring that the positioning and charging actions are completed synchronously, and without affecting the installation and removal of the lighting module 3.

[0039] The positioning protrusion 60 is provided with at least one grip hole 10 for assisting the use of the lighting module 3 as an independent lighting device. The purpose of this design is to improve the ease of use of the lighting module 3 as an independent handheld lighting device 5. The grip hole 10 is a through-hole structure that penetrates the positioning protrusion 60. Its connection with the lighting module 3 is that it is directly opened on the positioning protrusion 60 and integrated with the main body of the lighting module 3. The user can pass his / her fingers through the through-hole structure to grip the lighting module 3, forming a stable grip posture and preventing slippage during handheld use. At the same time, it provides a force fulcrum for adjusting the lighting direction, ensuring the operational stability when using independent lighting.

[0040] The lighting module 3 also integrates a protective cover 11. The outer side of the protective cover 11 is provided with a disassembly support 12, which provides a fulcrum for the operator when disassembling from the mounting base 2. The purpose of this design is to reduce the difficulty of disassembling the lighting module 3 from the mounting base 2. The protective cover 11 is a shell-like structure that encloses the key components of the lighting module 3. Its connection with the lighting module 3 is an integrated fixed connection, installed or disassembled as a whole with the lighting module 3, while also protecting the internal structure. The disassembly support 12 is an outwardly extending protruding structure. Its connection with the protective cover 11 is either integrally formed or fixedly located on the outside of the protective cover 11. When it is necessary to disassemble the lighting module 3, the operator can pry the protruding structure to apply force, forming a force-saving fulcrum. This easily overcomes the fixing force generated by magnetic attraction and positioning, enabling rapid separation of the lighting module 3 from the mounting base 2 without affecting the normal installation and use of the lighting module 3.

[0041] According to this embodiment, the lighting module 3 achieves accurate mechanical positioning through the positioning protrusion 60 and the positioning groove 61 on the mounting base 2, while simultaneously achieving a firm connection through the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic part 7 and the second magnetic part 8. When both are assembled in place, the charging contacts 9 located at the junction of the positioning protrusion 60 and the positioning groove 61 come into contact with each other and form a conductive path. The mounting base 2 obtains power from the motorcycle's onboard lithium battery through a wire, and charges the battery 4 inside the lighting module 3 through this path, allowing the lighting module 3 to be used as a fixed lighting device for the motorcycle in the installed state. When independent lighting is required, the user can apply force using the protruding disassembly support 12 on the outside of the protective cover 11 to overcome the magnetic attraction and remove the lighting module 3 from the mounting base 2. The user can then hold the lighting module 3 stably through the gripping hole 10 on the positioning protrusion 60, and use it as a handheld lighting device 5 powered by its built-in battery 4. After use, the lighting module 3 is reinstalled onto the mounting base 2 to restore the mechanical positioning, magnetic fixation, and automatic charging states.

[0042] This embodiment, through its integrated structure of mechanical positioning, magnetic connection, and charging, ensures the basic field of vision function of the rearview mirror while achieving multi-functional integration of fixed lighting and independent handheld lighting. Combined with a user-friendly grip and disassembly design, it significantly enhances the product's practicality, convenience, and application range. The above embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
