[0042] Suction cup 200 is installed at the end of hand sleeve 100 for adsorbing lenses. The suction cup is made of a flexible material, such as silicone or rubber.
[0043] Edge protector 300 is installed on the outside of the handheld sleeve 100 and fits onto the outside of the lens to protect the lens edge.
[0044] Adjustment component 400 is used to adjust the suction force of suction cup 200 and is slidably mounted on hand sleeve 100 to change the suction force of suction cup 200.
[0045] There are two handle rockers 500, which are hinged to the end of the adjustment assembly 400.
[0046] During disassembly, rotate the handle rocker 500 to merge the two handle rockers 500 together, and insert them between the rearview mirror housing and the lens to pry off the lens.
[0047] When installing a new lens, the suction cup 200 is attached to the lens, and then the two handle rocker panels 500 are opened. The handle rocker panels 500 are rotated as needed, so that the handle rocker panels 500 drive the adjustment component 400 to rotate and move, thereby adjusting the suction force of the suction cup 200 on the lens. Then, the edge protection component 300 is wrapped around the outside of the lens. Finally, the handheld sleeve 100 is used to drive the lens to be installed inside the rearview mirror housing, and the lens is pressed to fix it.
[0048] The suction force of the suction cup 200 is adjusted by the adjustment component 400 to prevent the suction cup 200 from sliding or falling off under the action of external force if it is too small. At the same time, it can also prevent the suction force of the suction cup 200 from being too large and causing damage to the rearview mirror lens. This makes it convenient to install the rearview mirror lens while ensuring the safety of the rearview mirror lens.
[0049] When unfolded, the handle rocker 500 allows staff to control the rotation of the adjustment component 400 and adjust its position. When closed, the handle rocker 500 is inserted between the rearview mirror housing and the lens, allowing the lens that needs to be replaced to be pried off.
[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to cooperate with the adjustment component 400, refer to Figure 4 As shown, a limiting ring 110 for limiting the adjustment component 400 is fixedly installed inside the hand sleeve 100, and a threaded sleeve 120 is fixedly installed at one end of the hand sleeve 100, and the threaded sleeve 120 is concentrically arranged with the hand sleeve 100.
[0051] The initial position of the adjustment component 400 is limited by the setting of the limiting ring 110, so as to facilitate the control of the suction force of the suction cup 200.
[0052] The threaded sleeve 120 drives the adjustment component 400 to move when the adjustment component 400 rotates.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to properly adjust the suction power, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment component 400 includes:
[0054] Sliding plate 410 is slidably installed inside the hand sleeve 100 and contacts the limiting ring 110;
[0055] A sealing ring 420 is bonded to the outside of the sliding plate 410 and contacts the inner wall of the hand sleeve 100 to ensure a tight seal.
[0056] Threaded rod 430 is rotatably mounted on sliding plate 410 and passes through threaded sleeve 120;
[0057] The hinge bracket 440 is fixedly installed at the end of the threaded rod 430 and hinged to the handle rocker 500 to transmit the movement of the handle rocker 500 to the threaded rod 430.
[0058] When in use, rotating the handle rocker 500 causes the threaded rod 430 to rotate. When the threaded rod 430 rotates, it causes the sliding plate 410 to slide under the action of the thread, so that the sliding plate 410 adjusts the suction force of the suction cup 200. After the lens is installed, rotating the handle rocker 500 in the opposite direction causes the handle rocker 500 to push the sliding plate 410 back to its original position and contact the limiting ring 110.
[0059] The suction force of the suction cup 200 can be adjusted during sliding by the setting of the sliding plate 410 and the sealing ring 420.
[0060] The threaded rod 430 and the threaded sleeve 120 are designed to move and adjust the position of the sliding plate 410 and the sealing ring 420 when the threaded rod 430 rotates.
[0061] The hinge bracket 440 ensures the normal installation and use of the handle rocker 500, and enables the rotational force of the handle rocker 500 to be normally transmitted to the threaded rod 430.
[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, to prevent the handle rocker 500 from swinging, refer to Figure 3 As shown, magnets 510 are fixedly installed on both handle rocker plates 500, and the two magnets 510 attract and fix each other when the handle rocker plates 500 come into contact.
[0063] The magnet 510 allows the two rocker handles 500 to be attracted together when they are joined, thus securing them together for use.
[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to ensure the proper installation of the suction cup 200, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the suction cup 200 is fixed to the other end of the hand sleeve 100 by the receiving plate 210, and the receiving plate 210 is provided with a through hole 220 for connecting the suction cup 200 and the hand sleeve 100. A rubber pad 230 is bonded to the receiving plate 210.
[0065] The receiving plate 210 ensures the normal installation and fixation of the suction cup 200, while the through hole 220 allows the sliding plate 410 to adjust the suction force of the suction cup 200 during normal sliding.
[0066] The rubber pad 230 reduces the pressure exerted by the receiving plate 210 on the lens, thus preventing damage to the lens caused by the receiving plate 210.
[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to precisely control the suction force of the suction cup 200, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the handheld sleeve 100 is provided with an observation window 130 for viewing the position of the sliding plate 410, and the observation window 130 is provided with a scale 140.
[0068] The position of the sliding plate 410 can be viewed through the observation window 130, and the suction force of the suction cup 200 can be calculated based on the corresponding position of the sliding plate 410 and the scale 140.
[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to quickly remove the suction cup 200, according to... Figure 2 As shown, a pressure regulating valve 150 is fixedly installed on the handheld sleeve 100, and the pressure regulating valve 150 is located between the limit ring 110 and the suction cup 200.
[0070] The pressure regulating valve 150 allows gas to quickly enter the suction cup 200, reducing the suction force of the suction cup 200 and enabling the suction cup 200 to be removed quickly without pulling the lens.
[0071] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to protect the edge of the lens, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the edge protection assembly 300 includes:
[0072] The receiving sleeve 310 is sleeved on the outside of the handheld sleeve 100;
[0073] Four elastic pull ropes 320 are provided and fixed to the outside of the receiving sleeve 310;
[0074] The rubber sleeve 330 is fixed to the elastic pull cord 320 and is sleeved on the outside of the lens. The rubber sleeve 330 also has a certain degree of elasticity.
[0075] The installation of the rubber sleeve 330 is ensured by the setting of the receiving sleeve 310 and the elastic pull rope 320, so as to prevent the rubber sleeve 330 from being lost when not in use.
[0076] Among them, a rubber sleeve 330 is used to wrap around the outside of the lens to prevent the lens from bumping against the housing and causing damage.
[0077] The working method of this utility model:
[0078] During disassembly, rotate the handle rocker 500 to merge the two handle rockers 500 together and fix them by the attraction of the magnet 510. Then insert it between the rearview mirror housing and the lens to pry off the lens.
[0079] During installation, the suction cup 200 is attached to the lens. Then, the two handle rocker plates 500 are opened and rotated as needed. The handle rocker plates 500 drive the threaded rod 430 to rotate. With the cooperation of the thread and the threaded sleeve 120, the threaded rod 430 drives the sliding plate 410 to move when it rotates, causing the sliding plate 410 to draw air and increase the suction force of the suction cup 200. Then, the receiving sleeve 310 is wrapped around the outside of the lens. Finally, the handheld sleeve 100 is used to drive the lens to be installed inside the rearview mirror housing and the lens is pressed to fix it.
[0080] After the lens is installed, open the pressure regulating valve 150 to allow gas to quickly enter the suction cup 200, reduce the suction force of the suction cup 200, and allow the suction cup 200 to be removed quickly. Then rotate the handle rocker 500 in the opposite direction so that the handle rocker 500 pushes the sliding plate 410 back to its original position and contacts the limit ring 110.
