[0036] This utility model provides an adjustable rearview mirror. The adjustable telescopic rod provides users with convenience to suit their needs. When not using the electric vehicle, the rearview mirror can be retracted to avoid scratching other vehicles, improve vehicle safety, and protect the rearview mirror.

[0037] The following is combined with Figures 1-6 The technical solution provided by this utility model will be described in more detail.

[0038] The adjustable rearview mirror provided by this utility model includes a mirror rod and a lens assembly. The mirror rod includes an inner rod 2, a sleeve rod 1, and an elastic locking member. The sleeve rod 1 is connected to the lens assembly and is sleeved outside the inner rod 2. The sleeve rod 1 is provided with multiple adjustment holes 11. The elastic locking member has an extended state and a retracted state. The elastic locking member can be retracted into the inner rod 2 under external force, thus being in the retracted state. When in the retracted state, the sleeve rod 1 and the inner rod 2 are slidably connected, and the length of the mirror rod is adjustable. The elastic locking member can be in the extended state when the external force is removed. When in the extended state, the elastic locking member protrudes from the outer surface of the inner rod 2 and is inserted into the corresponding adjustment hole 11 to fix the inner rod 2 and the sleeve rod 1 in place.

[0039] The adjustable rearview mirror provided by this utility model has an elastic locking component that protrudes from the outer surface of the inner rod 2 and is inserted into the corresponding adjustment hole 11 to fix the inner rod 2 and the sleeve rod 1, ensuring the structural stability of the mirror rod. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the mirror rod, press the elastic locking component, and the elastic locking component will retract into the inner rod 2. At this time, the sleeve rod 1 and the inner rod 2 are slidably connected. Pulling the sleeve rod 1 allows the length of the mirror rod to be adjusted. The adjustable telescopic rod provides users with convenience to suit their needs. When not using the electric vehicle, the rearview mirror can be retracted to avoid scratching other vehicles, improve vehicle safety, and protect the rearview mirror.

[0040] As an optional implementation, see Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment holes 11 are arranged at intervals along the length of the sleeve rod 1, and all the adjustment holes 11 are located on the same straight line.

[0041] The above structure allows the elastic locking element to extend into different adjustment holes 11, thereby adjusting the total length of the lens rod.

[0042] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the elastic locking component includes a V-shaped plate 32 and a locking post 31, wherein: the V-shaped plate 32 is located in the inner rod 2, one side of the V-shaped plate 32 is fixed to the inner wall of the inner rod 2, and the locking post 31 is fixed to the other side of the V-shaped plate 32; a through hole 21 is provided on the side wall of the inner rod 2, the through hole 21 penetrates the side wall of the inner rod 2, and the locking post 31 is located in the through hole 21; when in the extended state, the locking post 31 is inserted into the corresponding adjustment hole 11.

[0043] See Figure 3 As shown, the V-shaped plate 32 consists of two connected plates with an acute angle between them. When the locking post 31 is pressed, the V-shaped plate 32 undergoes elastic deformation, the included angle between the two plates of the V-shaped plate 32 decreases, the locking post 31 retracts into the inner rod 2, and the sleeve rod 1 can move along the inner rod 2.

[0044] See optional implementation methods. Figure 3As shown, the elastic locking component also includes a shaft 34, and the middle part of the V-shaped plate 32 has an enclosing cavity 33. The shaft 34 passes through the enclosing cavity 33 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inner rod 2.

[0045] The above structure can improve the stability of the V-shaped plate 32 during deformation, and the shaft 34 prevents the V-shaped plate 32 from swaying and displacing.

[0046] As an optional implementation, the number of resilient engaging components is one or more, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 As shown, when there are two or more elastic engaging components, the elastic engaging components are arranged at intervals along the length of the inner rod 2. This structure improves the stability of the connection between the inner rod 2 and the sleeve rod 1.

[0047] When adjusting the length of the mirror rod, press the locking pin 31, and the locking pin 31 will retract into the inner rod 2. At this time, the sleeve rod 1 and the inner rod 2 are slidably connected. Pulling the sleeve rod 1 allows the length of the mirror rod to be adjusted. When the length of the mirror rod is adjusted to a suitable length, the adjusting hole 11 connects with the corresponding through hole 21 on the inner rod 2. Removing the external force acting on the locking pin 31 causes the locking pin 31 to pop out under the elastic restoring force of the V-shaped plate 32 and re-insert into the corresponding adjusting hole 11. The inner rod 2 and the sleeve rod 1 are then fixed, and the length of the mirror rod is fixed. The adjustable telescopic rod provides users with convenience to suit their needs. When not using the electric vehicle, the rearview mirror can be retracted to avoid scratches with other vehicles, improving vehicle safety and protecting the rearview mirror.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] This embodiment is an improvement based on the above embodiment 1. The lens assembly includes a lens, a housing 4 and a light-emitting element, wherein: the lens is fixed on the housing 4 and the light-emitting element is fixed on the side of the housing 4 away from the lens.

[0050] The light source can be an LED or other high-efficiency light source, connected to the vehicle's power system via wires. At night or in low-light conditions, the light source on the lens assembly provides additional illumination for the driver, helping to reduce blind spots and improve driving safety.

[0051] As an optional implementation, see Figure 1 As shown, the light-emitting element in this embodiment includes an annular light strip 6, which surrounds the rear cover 5. The annular light cover is clamped between the rear cover 5 and the housing 4 for easy installation.

[0052] As an optional implementation method, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the lens assembly also includes a fluorescent element 7 and a back cover 5, wherein: the fluorescent element 7 is fixed to the side of the housing 4 away from the lens, the back cover 5 is fixedly connected to the housing 4 and surrounds the fluorescent element 7 inside, and the back cover 5 is a transparent cover.

[0053] The fluorescent component 7 is made of fluorescent material from the prior art. It can emit light in low-light environments without power, which enhances the aesthetics of the lens assembly, serves as a warning, and improves driving safety.

[0054] The back cover 5 is made of transparent material. As a light channel, the light emitted by the light strip 6 can pass through evenly and in a layered manner, forming a unique visual effect.

[0055] As an optional implementation, see Figure 4 As shown, the fluorescent component 7 includes a plate 72 and a fluorescent strip 71. The fluorescent strip 71 is fixed to the side of the plate 72 facing the rear cover 5. One of the plate 72 and the housing 4 is provided with a post 8, and the other is provided with a slot 9. The post 8 and the slot 9 are inserted and fixed, thereby fixing the plate 72 and the housing 4.

[0056] The above structure facilitates the fixed connection between the fluorescent element 7 and the housing 4, and the rear cover 5 can be snapped onto the housing 4.

[0057] Example 3:

[0058] This embodiment provides a vehicle including the aforementioned adjustable rearview mirror.

[0059] The vehicle in this embodiment can be an electric vehicle or a car. The light-emitting element emits light, and the light-emitting body is covered with an ABS decorative part that allows light to pass through. The fluorescent part 7 can also emit fluorescence, saving energy consumption, adding a sense of technology to the whole vehicle, improving the overall refinement of the vehicle, and serving as a warning. The adjustable telescopic rod provides users with convenience that suits their needs, making it more user-friendly. While providing convenience, the rearview mirror can be retracted when the electric vehicle is not in use to avoid scratches from other vehicles, improving safety and protection.
