Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Example

[0020] This embodiment describes an automotive repair and inspection mirror, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a horizontally arranged flat plate 1, with a fixing ring 2 horizontally fixed to the bottom of the flat plate 1, and the upper end of the fixing ring 2 fixed to the bottom of the flat plate 1.

[0021] A caster wheel 12 is mounted on the bottom of the fixed ring 2 via a bracket. The caster wheel 12 is mounted on the lower end of the bracket and drives the plate 1 to move.

[0022] The plate 1 has a through groove in the middle that is open to the top and bottom. A base 3 is vertically and independently installed in the through groove. The through groove is vertically opened in the middle of the plate 1, and the base 3 is vertically installed in the through groove. The base 3 slides up and down along the depth of the through groove.

[0023] A lens 4 is mounted on the top of the base 3. The lens 4 is mounted on the top of the base 3 and is used to photograph the parts under the car and inside the frame.

[0024] The limiting plate 5 is horizontally fixed inside the fixing ring 2, and the side wall of the limiting plate 5 is fixed to the inner side wall of the fixing ring 2. A through hole is opened in the middle of the limiting plate 5 for the base 3 to pass through. The base 3 is vertically inserted into the limiting plate 5 and slides up and down along the through hole. Two vertically rotating insert plates 14 are hinged to the side wall of the base 3. The two insert plates 14 are symmetrical about the center line of the base 3. A slot 19 is opened in the limiting plate 5 for the insert plates 14 to pass through. The slot 19 is opened on the left and right sides of the limiting plate 5 for the insert plates 14 to pass through. This paragraph constitutes a fixing assembly for fixing the base 3 in the through slot. When using the fixing assembly, when fixing the base 3 in the plate 1, the two vertical insert plates 14 are rotated to a horizontal position. First, the upper end of the base 3 and the lens 4 pass through the limiting plate 14. When the base plate 5 and the flat plate 1, and the base 3 move upward, the two insert plates 14 pass through the slots 19 and are located in the gap between the limiting plate 5 and the flat plate 1. Rotate the base 3 by 90 degrees so that the two insert plates 14 are offset from the slots 19, and clamp the two insert plates 14 between the flat plate 1 and the limiting plate 5, thereby fixing the base 3 inside the flat plate 1. When the base 3 needs to be removed, rotate the base 3 to drive the insert plates 14 to rotate. When the insert plates 14 are aligned with the slots 19, the base 3 can be taken out downward. Of course, the fixing assembly can also install a pad at the bottom of the flat plate 1. The pad reduces the gap between the flat plate 1 and the limiting plate 5. After the insert plates 14 pass through the slots 19, the insert plates 14 press against the bottom of the pad. The pad increases the friction between the insert plates 14 and the limiting plate 5, improving the fixing effect of the base 3.

[0025] The bottom of the base 3 has an upward-facing slot 13, which is located at the bottom of the base 3.

[0026] A telescopic rod 6 is hinged to the right end of the plate 1. A hinge seat is installed on the right end of the plate 1. The lower end of the telescopic rod 6 is installed on the hinge seat. The telescopic rod 6 swings up and down around the right end of the plate 1. The telescopic rod is an electric push rod. The electric push rod is existing technology. It is an electric drive device that converts the rotational motion of the electric motor into the linear reciprocating motion of the push rod. It consists of a drive motor, reduction gear, screw, nut, guide sleeve, push rod, slide, spring, housing, worm gear, micro-motion control switch, etc. Its working principle is that after the electric motor is reduced by gear or worm gear, it drives a pair of screw nuts to convert the rotational motion of the motor into linear motion. The push rod action is completed by the forward and reverse rotation of the electric motor.

[0027] A display screen 9 is detachably installed on the upper end of the telescopic rod 6. The display screen 9 is used to display the content captured by the lens 4.

[0028] A gooseneck tube 11 is installed at the bottom of the display screen 9. The upper end of the gooseneck tube 11 is fixed to the bottom of the display screen 9. The gooseneck tube 11 is existing technology and is a metal flexible tube, a metal shaped flexible tube, a metal part that can be bent arbitrarily and whose direction can be determined.

[0029] The lower end of the gooseneck tube 11 is detachably connected to the slot 13. The lower end of the gooseneck tube 11 is inserted into the slot 13, and the base 3 is connected to the gooseneck tube 11. The lens 4 is sent into the smaller space inside the frame through the gooseneck tube 11.

[0030] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to inspect the underside of a car, the base 3 is inserted into the through groove of the plate 1 and fixed therein by the fixing component. The lens 4 captures the view from above the plate 1. By extending the telescopic rod 6 and cooperating with the rotation of the telescopic rod 6, the plate 1 is pushed into the underside of the car. The lens 4 captures the parts under the car. The staff checks the status of the parts through the display screen 9. When the part to be inspected is located in a small space inside the frame, the base 3 is removed from the through groove, and the lower end of the gooseneck tube 11 is inserted into the slot 13. The gooseneck tube 11 moves the base 3 into the inside of the frame, and the lens 4 is sent into the small space to capture the obscured parts. The two different usage methods meet the inspection needs of parts in different locations. Example

[0031] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 2 As shown, a groove is provided on the side wall of the base 3, and a rotating shaft is horizontally installed in the groove. One end of the insert plate 14 is fixed on the rotating shaft, and a stop block 17 is fixed at the opening of the groove. The other end of the insert plate 14 pushes open the stop block 17 and then locks into the groove. The stop block 17 is made of plastic and is elastic. Pushing the stop block 17 will cause it to rotate. When the insert plate 14 is not in use, rotate the insert plate 14 to a vertical position, push open the stop block 17, and lock it into the groove to prevent the insert plate 14 from unfolding and blocking the base 3 from entering the narrow space inside the frame for operation. Example

[0032] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the lens 4 is covered with a protective film 16. The protective film 16 is a common transparent protective film for lenses, which can effectively prevent oil, dust and other contaminants from directly contacting the lens surface, while maintaining the clarity and optical performance of the lens. By wrapping the lens 4 with the protective film 16, the oil inside the frame is prevented from dripping onto the lens and affecting the normal operation of the lens.

[0033] The protective film 16 is detachably fixed to the end of the base 3. The detachable protective film 16 facilitates quick replacement and ensures the working efficiency of the lens 4.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a fixing sleeve 15 is fitted onto the end of the base 3, and the fixing sleeve 15 is fitted onto the upper end of the base 3.

[0035] The protective film 16 is fixed inside the fixing sleeve 15. When the fixing sleeve 15 is fitted onto the upper part of the base 3, the protective film 16 is fixed to the base 3.

[0036] The contact portion between the base 3 and the fixing sleeve 15 is inlaid with a magnetic block 20 for adsorbing the fixing sleeve 15. The upper end of the base 3 has a groove in which the magnetic block 20 is inlaid. The fixing sleeve 15 is made of a metal that can be adsorbed by the magnetic block 20, such as iron. When the fixing sleeve 15 is close to the base 3, the magnetic block 20 adsorbs the fixing sleeve 15 and fixes it to the upper end of the base 3. Example

[0037] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, a connecting rod 7 is fixed to the upper end of the telescopic rod 6, and two fixing plates 8 arranged horizontally front to back are fixed to the left end of the display screen 9. Both the connecting rod 7 and the fixing plates 8 have through holes that communicate with each other. Screws 18 are sequentially inserted into the through holes, and two nuts with threaded engagement are fitted on the screws 18. The two fixing plates 8 are located between the nuts. The upper end of the connecting rod 7 is inserted between the two fixing plates 8. The through holes on the connecting rod 7 are aligned with the through holes on the fixing plates 8. The screws are sequentially inserted into the through holes, and the two nuts are tightened at both ends of the screws to fix the connecting rod 7 inside the fixing plates 8. Example

[0038] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handle 10 is installed on the right end of the display screen 9. The handle 10 has a "U"-shaped structure with the opening facing the display screen 9. The handle 10 makes it easy for staff to pick up the display screen 9.
