Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a universal side mirror with an automatic reset function includes a side mirror body 1. A mounting sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the side mirror body 1. A reset mechanism 3 is provided inside the mounting sleeve 2. A fixing block 4 is provided on one side of the reset mechanism 3. A mounting mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the fixing block 4. An insert 7 is installed on the other side of the side mirror body 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, with the reset mechanism 3, when the side mirror body 1 collides with an external object, the side mirror body 1 folds. When the object separates from the side mirror body 1, the side mirror body 1 automatically resets, eliminating the need for manual reset, thus improving practicality and ensuring vehicle driving safety. The insert 7 acts as a buffer, protecting the side mirror body 1 and extending its service life. The installation mechanism 5 facilitates the installation of the side mirror onto the vehicle.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the reset mechanism 3 includes a first mounting member 31, which is installed inside the mounting sleeve 2. A second mounting member 32 is installed at the bottom of the first mounting member 31. A mounting shaft 33 passes through the top of the mounting sleeve 2, the first mounting member 31, and the second mounting member 32. A nut cap 34 is threaded to the bottom end of the mounting shaft 33. A first reset torsion spring 35 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 33 and above the second mounting member 32. A second reset torsion spring 36 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 33 and between the second mounting member 32 and the nut cap 34. A second reset torsion spring 36 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 33. A limiting sleeve 37 is adapted to the second reset torsion spring 36. A bottom cover 38 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the second mounting member 32. A positioning assembly is provided at the bottom of the first mounting member 31. The positioning assembly includes a first toothed block 39, which is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the first toothed block 39. A sliding groove 310 is symmetrically opened at the top of the second mounting member 32. A second toothed block 311 is fixedly connected inside each of the two sliding grooves 310. A positioning groove 312 is opened at the top of the first mounting member 31. A positioning block 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the inside of the mounting sleeve 2. The positioning block 9 and the positioning groove 312... The first reset torsion spring 35 is engaged with the first mounting member 31 and the second mounting member 32 at its top and bottom ends, respectively, and the second reset torsion spring 36 is engaged with the second mounting member 32 and the nut cap 34 at its top and bottom ends, respectively. When the side mirror body 1 folds due to a collision, the side mirror body 1 drives the mounting sleeve 2 to rotate, the mounting sleeve 2 drives the first mounting member 31 and the mounting shaft 33 to rotate, and the mounting shaft 33 drives the nut cap 34 to rotate, while the second mounting member 32 remains stationary. This increases the potential energy of the first reset torsion spring 35 and the second reset torsion spring 36. When the object separates from the side mirror body 1, the first reset torsion spring 35 and the second reset torsion spring 36 release their potential energy. The potential energy is released, causing the side mirror body 1 to rotate and reset. When the side mirror body 1 needs to be folded, the side mirror body 1 is manually rotated. The first mounting part 31 rotates, causing the first tooth block 39 to rotate. Since both the first tooth block 39 and the second tooth block 311 have chamfers, the first tooth block 39 passes over the second tooth block 311 and is locked in place by the second tooth block 311. At this time, the potential energy of the first reset torsion spring 35 and the second reset torsion spring 36 cannot be released. When the side mirror body 1 needs to be opened, the side mirror body 1 is lifted upwards. The first tooth block 39 passes over the second tooth block 311, and the first reset torsion spring 35 and the second reset torsion spring 36 release potential energy to unfold the side mirror body 1.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the mounting mechanism 5 includes a rotating component 51, which is rotatably mounted on one side of the fixed block 4. A mounting groove 52 is provided on one side of the rotating component 51, and a first bolt 54 passes through the other side of the rotating component 51. A fixing sleeve 53 is threaded to one end of the first bolt 54. The rotating component 51 is placed in the vehicle mounting process, the vehicle mounting rod is placed inside the mounting groove 52, and then the fixing sleeve 53 is placed on the outside of the vehicle mounting rod. The fixing sleeve 53 is fixed to the rotating component 51 using the first bolt 54, thereby installing the side mirror to the vehicle.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second bolt 6 is provided between the fixed block 4 and the rotating part 51. When it is necessary to change the angle of the side mirror body 1, the second bolt 6 is loosened. At this time, the rotating part 51 and the fixed block 4 can rotate, thereby changing the angle of the side mirror body 1. After the angle adjustment is completed, the second bolt 6 is tightened.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a rain shield 8 is engaged on one side of the side mirror body 1. The rain shield 8 serves to block rain and prevent rainwater from getting on the lens of the side mirror body 1.
[0031] The above embodiment discloses a universal side mirror with an automatic reset function. The rotating component 51 is placed in the vehicle mounting area, the vehicle mounting rod is inserted into the mounting groove 52, and the fixing sleeve 53 is fitted onto the outside of the vehicle mounting rod. The fixing sleeve 53 and the rotating component 51 are fixed together using a first bolt 54, thus installing the side mirror onto the vehicle. When the angle of the side mirror body 1 needs to be changed, the second bolt 6 is loosened. At this time, the rotating component 51 and the fixing block 4 can rotate, thereby changing the angle of the side mirror body 1. After the angle adjustment is completed, the second bolt 6 is tightened. When the side mirror body 1 is folded due to a collision, the side mirror body 1 drives the mounting sleeve 2 to rotate. The mounting sleeve 2 drives the first mounting component 31 and the mounting shaft 33 to rotate. The mounting shaft 33 drives the nut cap 34 to rotate, while the second mounting component 32 remains stationary. This increases the potential energy of the first reset torsion spring 35 and the second reset torsion spring 36. When the object separates from the side mirror body 1, the first reset torsion spring 35 and the second reset torsion spring 36 release their potential energy, causing the side mirror body 1 to rotate and reset.
