Background Technology

[0002] Currently, rearview mirror lens assembly on the market typically involves applying adhesive to both sides of a heating element, bonding the mirror surface to the mirror support plate, and then connecting it to the base plate via a steering mechanism. Because the double-sided adhesive is sticky, automated assembly is impossible. The mirror support plate, heating element, and lens must be manually aligned visually using tooling and inspection fixtures. This cumbersome and inaccurate process significantly impacts production efficiency and increases labor costs. Utility Model Content
