Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, specifically to a sun visor and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As a key safety component in vehicles, the sun visor first appeared in the early 20th century with the popularization of enclosed car bodies. Its core function is to block direct sunlight and reduce glare that interferes with the driver's vision. Traditional sun visors typically use a folding design, are made of plastic or composite materials, and are fixed above the driver's seat, with the angle manually adjusted to cover the driver's field of vision.
[0003] In related technologies, a makeup mirror is fixedly installed on one or two flip surfaces of the sun visor. Due to the relatively fixed position of the sun visor, the angle adjustment range of the makeup mirror is limited. Especially for passengers who are shorter or sit in a low position, they may not be able to use the makeup mirror comfortably in the original position, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, this application provides a sun visor with a detachable makeup mirror mounted on the main body, allowing the user to adjust the position of the makeup mirror as needed, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of using the makeup mirror. Additionally, this application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned sun visor.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A sun visor includes a body and a makeup mirror detachably connected to the body via a locking structure; the locking structure includes:
[0007] A locking pin is fixedly connected to the cosmetic mirror.
[0008] A mounting cavity is formed in the body, and the mounting cavity has an opening facing the locking pin;
[0009] The snap-fit assembly includes a moving mechanism and a plurality of snap-fit members that can enter and exit the mounting cavity through the opening; the moving mechanism is movably disposed within the mounting cavity; the snap-fit members are all hinged to the moving mechanism, and as the moving mechanism moves toward the interior of the mounting cavity, the plurality of snap-fit members can come closer together to snap the locking pin.
[0010] Optionally, an elastic element is provided inside the mounting cavity, the elastic element being used to drive the moving mechanism to move toward the opening; the moving mechanism includes:
[0011] A slider is slidably disposed within the mounting cavity. The slider is connected to the snap-fit member and has a connecting portion for connecting the elastic member.
[0012] The connecting rod has one end hinged to either the slider or the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and the other end is provided with a limiting block;
[0013] The slider and the inner wall of the mounting cavity are provided with a limiting structure. The limiting block moves around the limiting structure as the slider slides. When the locking member engages with the locking post, the limiting block cooperates with the limiting structure to restrict the slider from moving toward the opening.
[0014] Optionally, the connecting rod is connected to the slider or the inner wall of the mounting cavity via a hinge structure, the hinge structure comprising:
[0015] A hinge hole is provided in one of the slider and the connecting rod, and the end face of the hinge hole is fan-shaped;
[0016] A hinge shaft is disposed on the other of the slider and the connecting rod, and the radial cross-section of the hinge shaft is fan-shaped;
[0017] Wherein, the radius of the end face of the hinge hole is R, and the radius of the radial section of the hinge shaft is r; and 1 / 2R < r < R.
[0018] Optionally, the slider is slidably disposed on the side wall of the mounting cavity via a guide structure, the guide structure comprising:
[0019] A guide groove is provided in one of the slider and the sidewall, and extends in a direction away from the locking pin;
[0020] A protrusion is disposed on the other of the slider and the sidewall, and the protrusion is slidably connected to the guide groove.
[0021] Optionally, the elastic element is a spring;
[0022] The guide groove is disposed on the side wall, and the spring is disposed in the guide groove and extends along the length direction of the guide groove.
[0023] Optionally, the radial cross-section of the guide groove is cross-shaped, and the shape of the protrusion is adapted to the guide groove.
[0024] Optionally, a stop is provided inside the mounting cavity. The stop is located on the movement path of the slider and is used to prevent the slider from disengaging from the mounting cavity.
[0025] The limiting structure is a first protrusion protruding from the side wall of the mounting cavity; the side of the first protrusion away from the opening has a curved surface that bends toward the opening.
[0026] A second protrusion is provided on the side of the first protrusion away from the opening, protruding from the side wall of the mounting cavity, and the second protrusion is used to guide the limiting block to move around the first protrusion.
[0027] Optionally, the locking structure further includes:
[0028] The main structure is fixedly connected to the body or is an integral part of the body;
[0029] A baffle is inserted into the main structure and cooperates with the main structure to form the mounting cavity.

When using the vanity mirror, the user can remove the vanity panel and adjust the position of the vanity mirror as needed. This greatly improves the convenience and comfort of using the vanity mirror, thereby enhancing the user's driving experience.
[0033] Furthermore, the sun visor in this application utilizes snap-fit components that can move closer together or further apart, in conjunction with a locking pillar structure, to lock or unlock the vanity mirror. In the locked state, the snap-fit components and the locking pillar are in a snap-fit relationship, resulting in high connection stability. Even under high-frequency vibrations in the vehicle, the vanity mirror will not accidentally fall off, thus ensuring safety and reliability. Moreover, since the snap-fit between the snap-fit components and the locking pillar relies on multiple snap-fit components moving closer together, compared to snap-fit connections achieved through the elastic deformation of the snap-fit structure, the aforementioned arrangement in this application prevents the snap-fit components and other structures used to achieve the snap-fit from damage due to fatigue or excessive deformation, thereby improving the service life of the locking structure.

[0048] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0049] like Figures 1-10 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a sun visor, which includes a body 1, a locking structure, and a makeup mirror 2. Wherein:
[0050] Body 1 is the main structural component used to shield the driver's or passenger's eyes from direct sunlight. It is typically made of materials with a certain strength and toughness (such as plastics, metal composites, etc.). Furthermore, in specific implementations, the shape of body 1 can be adaptively designed as needed, and this application does not impose specific limitations on it.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the main body 1 can be fixed inside the vehicle via a connecting bracket, specifically, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, one end of the connecting bracket has a fixed connection structure for connecting to the vehicle, and the other end is bent and hinged to the body 1 to realize the folding design of the sun visor; in this setting, by designing the shape of the bracket, the flexibility of the sun visor installation position can be improved.
[0052] In an alternative embodiment, the main body 1 can also be directly fixed inside the vehicle. Specifically, a first hinge portion can be provided on the main body 1, and a second hinge portion can be provided inside the vehicle. During assembly, the main body 1 is hinged to the vehicle interior through the first and second hinge portions. This arrangement eliminates the need for a bracket-like structure, thus reducing costs.
[0053] The makeup mirror 2 is a mirror device installed on the main body 1 and used by the driver or passenger when needed for activities such as grooming.
[0054] In this embodiment, the makeup mirror 2 is detachably mounted on the main body 1. With this configuration, when the user needs to use the makeup mirror 2, it can be detached from the main body 1, and its position can be adjusted as needed. This greatly improves the convenience and comfort of using the makeup mirror 2, thus enhancing the user's driving experience.
[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the cosmetic mirror 2 includes a reflector, a housing, and a cover. The cover is hinged to the housing and cooperates with the housing to form a cavity for accommodating the reflector. The reflector is fixedly disposed inside the cavity, and the reflective surface of the reflector faces the cover.
[0056] In this embodiment, the makeup mirror 2 is enclosed by a housing and a cover, thus preventing the user from being scratched by the edge of the mirror after detaching the makeup mirror 2 from the main body 1. Furthermore, when in use, the brightness of the mirror can be adjusted by changing the flip angle of the cover, thereby improving the user experience.
[0057] It should be understood that the above exemplary embodiments are only one possible implementation of the makeup mirror 2, but this application is not limited thereto. For example, the cover of the makeup mirror 2 can also be hinged to the body 1. Alternatively, the makeup mirror 2 may only include a reflector. Or, in addition to the reflector, housing, and cover described above, the makeup mirror 2 may also include a light source for supplemental lighting and a power supply for power supply, etc.
[0058] The locking structure is a connection structure that allows the makeup mirror 2 to be detachably fixed to the main body 1.
[0059] like Figures 3-10 As shown, the locking structure in this embodiment includes a locking pin 3, a mounting cavity 7, and a snap-fit assembly. Wherein:
[0060] The locking pin 3 is fixedly connected to the makeup mirror 2. In specific implementations, the locking pin 3 can be an independent structural component, which is fixed to the makeup mirror 2 by means of adhesive or other fixing methods. Alternatively, when the makeup mirror 2 includes a housing or other structure, the locking pin 3 and the housing of the makeup mirror 2 can be a single piece.
[0061] As shown in Figure 2- Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment, the locking post 3 is a protruding structure protruding from the surface of the makeup mirror 2. With this configuration, after the makeup mirror 2 is detached from the main body 1, the locking post 3 can serve as an auxiliary support structure, allowing the makeup mirror 2 to be tilted and positioned on the support surface (i.e., the surface used to support the detached makeup mirror 2). This makes the use of the makeup mirror 2 more convenient and improves the user experience.
[0062] It should be noted that, based on the locking post 3 as an auxiliary support structure, the position of the locking post 3 on the makeup mirror 2 can be adapted to the requirements of support stability and the tilt angle of the makeup mirror 2, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations here.
[0063] It should also be noted that the locking pin 3 in the embodiments of this application can be set as a columnar structure, but is not limited to this. For example, the locking pin 3 can also be a sheet metal part, etc.
[0064] The mounting cavity 7 is formed on the body 1. That is, the body 1 in the embodiments of this application has the mounting cavity 7, and / or the body 1 is fixedly connected with a structure for forming the mounting cavity 7.
[0065] The mounting cavity 7 has an opening facing the locking pin 3, and the opening allows the locking pin 3 to enter and exit.
[0066] The snap-fit component is a component that is located in the mounting cavity 7 and can be connected to the locking post 3 to fix the makeup mirror 2 to the body 1.
[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figures 5-8 As shown, the snap-fit assembly includes a moving mechanism snap-fit component 4. The moving mechanism is movably disposed within the mounting cavity 7. Multiple snap-fit components 4 are provided, and each component 4 can enter and exit the mounting cavity 7 through the opening. Furthermore, all multiple snap-fit components 4 are hinged to the moving mechanism. Thus, the snap-fit components 4 can move within the mounting cavity 7 under the drive of the moving mechanism, and the snap-fit components 4 can rotate relative to the moving mechanism.
[0068] Furthermore, as the moving mechanism moves toward the interior of the mounting cavity 7, the multiple snap-fit pieces 4 in this embodiment can come closer together to snap the locking pin 3, thereby achieving the connection between the makeup mirror 2 and the body 1.
[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit member 4 has an abutting slope, the extension direction of which forms an angle with the moving direction of the moving mechanism, and the abutting slope abuts against the opening of the mounting cavity 7. When the moving mechanism moves the snap-fit member 4 toward the interior of the mounting cavity 7, the multiple snap-fit members 4 are brought closer together by the constraint of the sidewall of the mounting cavity 7.
[0070] The number of snap-fit pieces 4 can be adapted to the specific implementation as needed. This application does not impose a specific limit on this, but it should be ensured that the number of snap-fit pieces 4 is sufficient to meet the needs of the snap-fit locking pin 3.
[0071] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the multiple snap-fit pieces 4 that are close together can engage with the locking pin 3, in a more specific embodiment, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the latching component 4 is a hook, and the locking post 3 is provided with a latching groove on the side away from the makeup mirror 2. Furthermore, when multiple hooks come together, the end of the hook away from the moving mechanism can extend into the latching groove, thereby restricting the movement of the locking post 3 relative to the moving mechanism.
[0072] Of course, the snap-fit structure used to achieve the snap-fit between the snap-fit component 4 and the locking pin 3 is not limited to the hook and snap-fit groove mentioned above. For example, in a specific implementation, snap-fit holes can also be provided on the snap-fit component 4, and a locking block protruding from the circumferential side of the locking pin 3 can be provided on the side of the locking pin 3 away from the makeup mirror 2. When multiple snap-fit components 4 approach each other, the snap-fit holes on different snap-fit components 4 can be fitted onto the locking block of the locking pin 3, thereby achieving the snap-fit between the locking pin 3 and the snap-fit assembly.
[0073] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations of enabling multiple snap-fit pieces 4 to come closer to each other, but this application is not limited thereto. For example, multiple snap-fit pieces 4 can also come closer to each other by setting a gear assembly.
[0074] As described above, in this embodiment, the makeup mirror 2 is locked or unlocked by using snap-fit components 4 that can move closer together or further apart, in conjunction with the locking post 3 structure. Furthermore, in the locked state, the snap-fit components and the locking post 3 are in a snap-fit relationship, resulting in high connection stability. Even under high-frequency vibrations in the vehicle, the makeup mirror 2 will not accidentally fall off, thus ensuring safety and reliability. In addition, since the snap-fit between the snap-fit components and the locking post 3 relies on multiple snap-fit components 4 moving closer together, compared to snap-fit connections achieved through elastic deformation of the snap-fit structure, the above-mentioned arrangement in this embodiment prevents the snap-fit components 4 and other structures used for snap-fit from damage due to fatigue or excessive deformation, thereby improving the service life of the locking structure.
[0075] In some embodiments, the makeup mirror 2 is installed or removed by pressing it in the direction toward the body 1.
[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, an elastic element is provided inside the mounting cavity 7. This elastic element is used to drive the moving mechanism to move toward the opening of the mounting cavity 7. The moving mechanism includes a slider 6 and a connecting rod 9. The slider 6 is slidably disposed inside the mounting cavity 7 and connected to the snap-fit member 4. The slider 6 also has a connecting portion for connecting the elastic element. One end of the connecting rod 9 is hinged to either the slider 6 or the inner wall of the mounting cavity 7, and the other end is provided with a limiting block 901.
[0077] Among them, the slider 6 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 7 are provided with a limiting structure. The limiting block 901 moves around the limiting structure as the slider 6 slides. When the locking member 4 engages with the locking post 3, the limiting block 901 cooperates with the limiting structure to restrict the slider 6 from moving toward the opening.
[0078] Furthermore, as described above, during the disassembly of the makeup mirror 2, the slider 6 will push the makeup mirror 2 to move away from the body 1. That is to say, when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, a gap will be created between the makeup mirror 2 and the body 1. On the one hand, this will make it easier to take the makeup mirror 2 out; on the other hand, this can be used as a basis to determine the connection status between the makeup mirror 2 and the body 1, thereby avoiding the makeup mirror 2 falling off due to misjudgment of the connection status.
[0079] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only one possible implementation of the moving mechanism, but this application is not limited thereto. For example, the moving mechanism can also be an electrically driven mechanism (i.e., a mechanism driven by electricity). For instance, the moving mechanism may include a controller, a drive motor, a reducer, a threaded rod, and a threaded block, etc., wherein the controller is electrically connected to the drive motor and can control the start and stop of the drive motor. The output end of the drive motor is driven to the threaded rod through the reducer. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the threaded block, so that the drive motor can drive the threaded block to move within the mounting cavity 7. The threaded block is connected to the snap-fit member 4. Thus, when the threaded block moves within the mounting cavity 7 under the action of the drive motor, it can drive the snap-fit member 4 to move, thereby allowing multiple snap-fit members 4 to move closer to or further apart from each other.
[0080] As mentioned earlier, the connecting rod 9 is hinged to the inner wall of the slider 6 or the mounting cavity 7. In some embodiments, the hinge structure for achieving the hinge between the connecting rod 9 and the slider 6 includes a hinge hole 601 and a hinge shaft 902. The hinge hole 601 is disposed on one of the slider 6 and the connecting rod 9; the hinge shaft 902 is disposed on the other of the slider 6 and the connecting rod 9. Thus, the shaft-hole structure allows the connecting rod 9 connected to the slider 6 to rotate relative to the slider 6.
[0081] In a preferred embodiment, both the hinge hole 601 and the hinge shaft 902 have fan-shaped radial sections, and the radius of the end face of the hinge hole 601 is R, while the radius of the radial section of the hinge shaft 902 is r; 1 / 2R < r < R. With this configuration, the cooperation between the hinge hole 601 and the hinge shaft 902 can limit the swing amplitude of the connecting rod 9, thereby facilitating the control of the movement of the limiting block 901 around the limiting structure.
[0082] More preferably, the radial sections of both the hinge hole 601 and the hinge shaft 902 are semi-circular.
[0083] It should be understood that the above embodiment is only an exemplary implementation of the connecting rod 9 being hinged to the slider 6, but this application is not limited thereto. For example, in specific implementations, the connecting rod 9 and the slider 6 can also be hinged using structures such as bolts.
[0084] In some embodiments, the slider 6 is slidably disposed on the side wall of the mounting cavity 7 by means of a guide structure. By providing a guide structure, the slider 6 is guided to move along a preset trajectory, thereby improving the moving accuracy of the slider 6 and ensuring the reliability of the locking structure.
[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, the guide structure includes a guide groove 13 and a protrusion 602. The guide groove 13 is disposed on one of the slider 6 and the side wall and extends in a direction away from the locking pin 3; the protrusion 602 is disposed on the other of the slider 6 and the side wall, and the protrusion 602 is slidably connected to the guide groove 13.
[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, the guide structure may also include a guide post and a guide hole. The guide post is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 7, and extends away from the locking post 3. The guide hole is formed on the slider 6 and cooperates with the guide post to allow the slider 6 to move only along the extending direction of the guide post.
[0087] Of course, in some other embodiments, the guide structure may not be provided, and the slider 6 can move in a directional manner inside the mounting groove by cooperating with the inner wall of the mounting groove. For example, the two opposite sidewalls of the slider 6 in the first direction abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the two opposite sidewalls of the slider 6 in the second direction also abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove, with a non-zero included angle between the first direction and the second direction.
[0088] Based on the guide structure including guide groove 13 and protrusion 602, in some embodiments, guide groove 13 is disposed on the side wall of mounting cavity 7, elastic element is spring 15, and spring 15 is disposed in guide groove 13 and extends along the length direction of guide groove 13.
[0089] As described above, in this embodiment, the spring 15 is placed in the guide groove 13. This arrangement can make full use of the internal space of the guide groove 13, ensuring that the spring 15 can apply a force to the slider 6 in the direction of the opening, while avoiding interference between the spring 15 and the connecting rod 9, the locking member 4, and other structures.
[0090] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the guide groove 13 is a recessed structure formed on the side wall of the mounting cavity 7, and a blind hole 16 extending along the extension direction of the guide groove 13 is provided at the end of the guide groove 13 away from the opening. The blind hole 16 is used to install the spring 15 and to limit the movement of the spring 15.
[0091] With this configuration, the constraint of the side wall of the blind hole 16 reduces the probability of the spring 15 bending during compression, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the latching structure and reducing the probability of damage to the latching structure.
[0092] Furthermore, based on the guide structure including the guide groove 13 and the protrusion 602, the radial cross section of the guide groove 13 is cross-shaped, and the shape of the protrusion 602 is adapted to the guide groove 13. With this arrangement, the guide groove 13 provides better constraint on the slider 6, which is beneficial to improving the movement accuracy of the protrusion 602 relative to the guide groove 13.
[0093] Of course, the above is only a preferred arrangement of the guide groove 13 and the protrusion 602, but this application is not limited to this. In specific implementation, the guide groove 13 can also be set as a T-shaped groove, an L-shaped groove, etc., and the shape of the protrusion 602 is adapted to the guide groove 13.
[0094] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, a stop 14 is provided inside the mounting cavity 7. The stop 14 is located in the movement path of the slider 6 and is used to prevent the slider 6 from disengaging from the mounting cavity 7. Furthermore, the mounting cavity 7 has a first protrusion 10 and a second protrusion 11.
[0095] The first protrusion 10 protrudes from the side wall of the mounting cavity 7 and serves as a limiting structure on the side wall of the mounting cavity 7. That is, during the sliding of the slider 6 in the mounting cavity 7, the limiting block 901 moves around the first protrusion.
[0096] like Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the first protrusion 10 has a curved surface that bends toward the opening on the side away from the opening (the curved surface here includes arc surfaces and surface structures formed by the combination of intersecting planes); in this configuration, the curved surface can constrain the movement of the limiting block 901, so that the limiting block 901 can remain at a certain position on the curved surface without being subjected to a force away from the opening, and when the locking member 4 engages with the locking post 3, the limiting block 901 cooperates with the limiting structure to restrict the slider 6 from moving toward the opening; thus keeping the locking structure in the engaged state.
[0097] The second protrusion 11 protrudes from the side wall of the mounting cavity 7 and is located on the side of the first protrusion 10 away from the opening. The second protrusion is used to guide the limiting block 901 to move around the first protrusion.
[0098] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, after the moving mechanism is pressed and moves away from the opening, the limiting block 901 will abut against the surface of the second protrusion 11 facing the opening and move along the surface. When the force on the moving mechanism is removed, the moving mechanism moves towards the opening under the action of the elastic member. During the above process, the limiting block 901 is separated from the curved surface of the first protrusion 10 facing the opening. That is, the limiting block 901 moves from the third segment 1203 of the circular trajectory 12 to the fourth segment 1204, gets rid of the constraint of the curved surface, and thus creates conditions for the limiting block to move around the first protrusion 10.
[0099] For ease of understanding, the following is in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 6 The installation and disassembly principle of the makeup mirror 2 in this embodiment will be explained in detail.
[0100] like Figure 6As shown, the limiting block 901 will form a shape as it moves around the first protrusion 10. Figure 6 The circular trajectory 12, represented by the dashed line, comprises a first segment 1201, a second segment 1202, a third segment 1203, and a fourth segment 1204 connected sequentially. The first segment 1201 is inclined away from the opening, the second segment 1202 is inclined towards the opening, the third segment 1203 is inclined away from the opening, and the fourth segment 1204 is inclined towards the opening. The end of the fourth segment 1204 is connected to the beginning of the first segment 1201. Furthermore, as... Figure 6 As shown, the projections of the second segment 1202, the third segment 1203, and the fourth segment 1204 toward the opening all fall on the first segment 1201.
[0101] Based on the above, the installation principle of the makeup mirror 2 in this embodiment is as follows:
[0102] Move the makeup mirror 2 to the position on the main body 1 for mounting the makeup mirror 2, and ensure that the locking pin 3 is aligned with the moving mechanism of the snap-fit assembly;
[0103] Press the makeup mirror 2 toward the body 1 so that the locking pin 3 can abut against the slider 6 in the moving mechanism and push the slider 6 toward the interior of the mounting cavity 7. During the movement of the slider 6 toward the interior of the mounting cavity 7, the slider 6 will drive the connecting rod 9 to move. At the same time, under the constraint of the first protrusion 10, the limiting block 901 on the connecting rod 9 moves toward the second segment 1202 along the first segment 1201 of the circular trajectory 12. In this process, multiple snap-fit pieces 4 will come closer to each other and snap the locking pin 3.
[0104] When the limiting block 901 moves to the starting end of the second segment 1202, under the constraints of the first protrusion 10, the side wall of the mounting cavity 7, and the connecting rod 9, the slider 6 will be unable to continue moving towards the interior of the mounting cavity 7. At this time, the thrust acting on the makeup mirror 2 is released, and the slider 6 will move towards the opening under the action of the elastic element, and at the same time drive the connecting rod 9 to move, so that the limiting block 901 on the connecting rod 9 moves towards the third segment 1203 along the second segment 1202 of the circular trajectory 12 under the constraint of the first protrusion 10.
[0105] When the limiting block 901 moves to the junction of the second segment 1202 and the third segment 1203, since the third segment 1203 is inclined away from the opening, the force applied by the elastic element to the moving mechanism will prevent the limiting block 901 from moving along the third segment 1203. Therefore, at this time, without the intervention of external force, the moving mechanism will remain stationary relative to the mounting cavity 7. At this time, the snap-fit 4 and the locking pin 3 are still in a snap-fit state, thus realizing the connection between the cosmetic mirror 2 and the body 1.
[0106] The disassembly principle of the makeup mirror 2 in this embodiment is as follows:
[0107] Press the makeup mirror 2 toward the body 1 so that the locking pin 3 can abut against the slider 6 in the moving mechanism and push the slider 6 toward the interior of the mounting cavity 7. During the movement of the slider 6 toward the interior of the mounting cavity 7, the slider 6 will drive the connecting rod 9 to move, thereby causing the limiting block 901 on the connecting rod 9 to move toward the fourth segment 1204 along the third segment 1203 of the circular trajectory 12 under the constraint of the second protrusion 11.
[0108] When the limiting block 901 moves to the starting end of the fourth segment 1204, under the constraint of the second protrusion 11 and the connecting rod 9, the slider 6 will be unable to continue moving towards the interior of the mounting cavity 7. At this time, the thrust acting on the cosmetic mirror 2 is released, and the slider 6 will move towards the opening under the action of the elastic element, and at the same time drive the connecting rod 9 to move, so that the limiting block 901 on the connecting rod 9 moves towards the first segment 1201 along the fourth segment 1204 of the circular trajectory 12 under the constraint of the first protrusion 10; and during this process, the multiple snap-fit pieces 4 will move away from each other.
[0109] When the limiting block 901 moves to the starting end of the first segment 1201, the slider 6 will be unable to continue moving towards the opening under the constraint of the stop block 14 or other limiting structures. At this time, the snap-fit relationship between the snap-fit part 4 and the locking post 3 is released, that is, the makeup mirror 2 and the body 1 are in a non-fixed connection state, thereby enabling the makeup mirror 2 to be detached from the body 1.
[0110] As described above, in the sunshade embodiment of this application, during the process of disassembling or installing the makeup mirror 2, it is only necessary to press the makeup mirror 2 in the direction toward the body 1, without the need for additional power drive, which helps to simplify the structure and reduce costs.
[0111] It should be understood that the above is merely an illustrative example of how the limiting structure is implemented, using the first protrusion 10 as an example, but the application is not limited to this. For example, in specific implementations, the limiting structure can also be a limiting groove formed on the side wall of the mounting cavity, etc.
[0112] In a further preferred embodiment, the limiting block 901 is a cylinder protruding from the surface of the connecting rod 9, and the gap between the first protrusion 10 and the second protrusion 11 is greater than the diameter of the limiting block 901. In this way, the friction between the limiting block 901 and the first protrusion 10 or the second protrusion 11 can be reduced, thereby making the locking and unlocking process of the latch structure smoother.
[0113] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second protrusion 11 may also be arranged around the first protrusion 10, and there may be a gap between the second protrusion 11 and the first protrusion 10 to allow the limiting block 901 to pass through.
[0114] In some embodiments, the structure used to form the mounting cavity 7 is included as part of the latching structure. In this case, the latching structure also includes a main structure 5 and a baffle 8. The main structure 5 is fixedly connected to the body 1 or is an integral part of the body 1. The baffle 8 is inserted into the main structure 5 and cooperates with the main structure 5 to form the mounting cavity 7.
[0115] It should be noted that the fixed connection between the main structure 5 and the body 1 includes non-removable fixed connections (such as welding) and detachable fixed connections (such as screw connections or snap-fit connections).
[0116] Preferably, the structure used to form the mounting cavity 7 is detachably fixed to the body 1. In this way, the locking structure can be modularized. When the locking structure of the makeup mirror 2 is damaged, the locking structure can be directly replaced without scrapping the entire sunshade, which helps to reduce maintenance costs.
[0117] The makeup mirror 2 is connected to the main body 1 via multiple locking mechanisms. This effectively improves the stability of the connection between the makeup mirror 2 and the main body 1.
[0118] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the makeup mirror 2 is connected to the main body 1 by two locking structures.
[0119] Furthermore, this application also discloses a vehicle that includes the aforementioned sun visor.
[0120] It should be noted that since the vehicle in this embodiment includes the sun visor described above, the beneficial effects of the sun visor on the vehicle are detailed above and will not be repeated here.
[0121] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a body, the interior of which forms a cockpit, and a sun visor is hinged to the body and located inside the cockpit near the windshield.
