[0024] A foldable electronic rearview mirror includes a support arm 1, the left end of which is rotatably connected to a storage box 2. Ear plates 8 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the left end of the support arm 1, and a camera storage cavity 4 is opened on the rear side of the right end of the support arm 1. A camera 5 is rotatably installed in the camera storage cavity 4. A controller and other structures are also installed in the inner cavity of the housing in the middle of the support arm 1.

[0025] A foldable electronic rearview mirror also includes a storage box 2. The storage box 2 has a support arm storage cavity 3 for storing a support arm 1. The left end of the support arm 1 is driven to rotate by a first driving member. The first driving member can drive the support arm 1 to rotate 90 degrees relative to the storage box 2. When the first driving member drives the support arm 1 to rotate inward to the maximum angle, the support arm 1 will completely enter the support arm storage cavity 3 of the storage box 2. When the first driving member drives the support arm 1 to rotate outward to the maximum angle, the support plate will be relatively perpendicular to the storage box 2.

[0026] The first driving component includes a first motor fixedly installed on the lower left side of the storage box 2. The first motor is a geared motor and includes a first output shaft 7. The first output shaft 7 is inserted into the storage cavity 3 of the support arm, and the top end of the first output shaft 7 extends upward through the storage box 2. The upper and lower sides of the left end of the support arm 1 are respectively provided with ear plates 8, and the ear plates 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the first output shaft 7. In this invention, the first motor drives the support plate to rotate through the first output shaft 7 and the upper and lower ear plates 8.

[0027] The lower left side of the storage box 2 is fixedly connected to the first protective box 9, and the first motor is fixedly installed inside the first protective box 9.
