[0029] Reference is made to Figures 1-4A damper comprises:
[0030] The first damping piece 100 comprises a first body 110 and a flat shaft 120, the flat shaft 120 is integrally formed with the first body 110, the first body 110 is used for connecting with a mirror body, the outer wall of the flat shaft 120 has two opposite circular arc surfaces 121 and two opposite flat surfaces 122 in the circumferential direction, the flat surfaces 122 are connected between the two circular arc surfaces 121, the cross-sectional shape of the flat shaft 120 is a flat circle, and the circular arc surfaces 121 have a concave-convex structure.
[0031] The second damping piece 200 comprises a second body 210 and a shaft groove 220, the second body 210 is integrally formed with the shaft groove 220, the second body 210 is used for connecting with the mirror body, the cross-sectional shape of the shaft groove 220 is a circle, the inner wall curvature of the shaft groove 220 is matched with the curvature of the circular arc surface 121, the shaft groove 220 is provided with a gap 221 in the axial direction, there is a specific relative angle between the first damping piece 100 and the second damping piece 200, the circular arc surface 121 is opposite to the gap 221 under the specific relative angle, the flat shaft 120 is inserted into the shaft groove 220 at the specific relative angle and is rotated to be offset from the gap 221, so that the flat shaft 120 is limited in the shaft groove 220, and the inner wall of the shaft groove 220 has a concave-convex structure which can be matched with and slipped off the concave-convex structure on the circular arc surface 121, so that the first damping piece 100 and the second damping piece 200 can be suspended and rotated relative to each other.
[0032] In some embodiments of the utility model, the cross-sectional profile of the flat shaft 120 is composed of two opposite circular arc segments 123 and two opposite flat segments 124, the circular arc segment 123 is a segment formed by the intersection of the circular arc surface 121 and the cross section, the flat segment 124 is a segment formed by the intersection of the flat surface 122 and the cross section, the distance L1 between the midpoints of the two circular arc segments 123 is greater than the distance L2 between the midpoints of the two flat segments 124, and the transverse width L3 of the gap 221 is greater than the distance L2 and smaller than the distance L1.
[0033] In some embodiments of the utility model, the circular arc surface 121 is provided with a plurality of smooth damping ribs 125, each damping rib 125 extends in the axial direction of the flat shaft 120, the inner wall of the shaft groove 220 is provided with a plurality of grooves 222 in the circumferential direction, and the damping rib 125 and the groove 222 can be matched with and slipped off each other. The damping effect is generated by the friction between the damping rib 125 and the groove 222, the smooth design of the damping rib 125 makes it easy to be embedded and slipped out of the groove 222, reduces the rotating resistance and reduces the abrasion.
[0034] In some embodiments of the utility model, two adjacent grooves 222 are provided with wave lines 223. When the damping rib 125 is in line with the groove 222, the "positioning hovering" function is provided, and in the non-in-line area between the two grooves 222 (i.e. when the damping rib 125 slides through the wave lines 223), the fluctuation structure of the wave lines increases the rotating resistance through the periodic change of the micro contact points, ensuring that there is always stable friction damping in the rotation process.
[0035] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first body 110 is C-shaped, and the flat shaft 120 is connected between the two ends of the first body 110, so that the first damping piece 100 is D-shaped as a whole, and the first body 110 and the flat shaft 120 form an avoiding opening 130, and the shape of the second body 210 is matched with the avoiding opening 130, and the second body 210 can be embedded in the avoiding opening 130 as a whole.

[0036] In some embodiments of the utility model, the flat surface 122 is a flat surface. The flat surface has a certain guiding effect, the transverse width L3 of the notch 221 is slightly larger than the interval L2, so that the flat surface and the notch 221 are always gap matched during the insertion of the flat shaft 120 into the shaft groove 220, and the insertion process is not easy to be stuck. If the flat surface 122 is an arc surface, the flat shaft 120 may deviate during insertion, causing sticking, insertion failure and other problems.
[0037] In some embodiments of the utility model, screw mounting holes 300 are formed on the first body 110 and / or the second body 210. The damping piece is locked on the mirror body by screws, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.
[0038] In some embodiments of the utility model, the screw mounting hole 300 is a counterbore. The head of the screw is not protruding from the damping piece by using a countersunk screw, so as to avoid the head of the screw from interfering with the rotation of the mirror body.
[0039] In some embodiments of the utility model, the material of the first damping piece 100 and the second damping piece 200 is plastic. Compared with metal, the wear rate of plastic and plastic friction is lower. The friction coefficient of plastic is moderate, and stable damping force can be generated through the concave-convex structure without additional lubrication, and the resistance of plastic during rotation is more uniform. The elastic deformation ability of plastic enables the damping rib 125 to slightly deform when engaging with the groove 222, compensates for the processing tolerance, and ensures that the concave-convex structure is always in effective contact (metal parts are prone to local stress concentration due to rigid contact, which causes wear).
[0040] Referring to Figure 5The mirror comprises the damper, the hinge 400, the main mirror 500 and the side mirror 600, the main mirror 500 and the side mirror 600 are connected through the hinge 400, the first damping piece 100 is connected with the main mirror 500, the second damping piece 200 is connected with the side mirror 600, or the first damping piece 100 is connected with the side mirror 600, and the second damping piece 200 is connected with the main mirror 500.
